Xu Hai was originally a good hand at marching and fighting at sea, although he was sometimes reckless, but he was not a brave and unscrupulous fool. Hearing Yan Hong say this, he also understood a little, maybe Yan Hong wanted to keep him useful. Therefore, he said angrily: "Xu's life was originally saved by General Yan, so naturally he didn't dare to hide it." The general wanted to know what Lu Dao was, and let Xu tell him one by one. ”

So for most of the day, these people didn't come out of the house, and lunch was also brought in by Jinyiwei. Xu Hai first talked about how he was pressed by his uncle to repay his debts because his uncle's smuggling business went bankrupt, and since then he has been pulled into the water, and gradually thugs from the grassroots level in the ranks of the Japanese to a middle-level commander, and even a senior general. And he spoke of the things of the sea when he was a thief. Including the composition of the Japanese Invaders, how their combat power was, as well as their weaponry, their mutual advantages and disadvantages with the Ming army, and the process of several major battles, etc.

Speaking of which, Yan Hong's biggest advantage in the matter of Haijiang lies in the concept of the traverser, but for the specific situation of Haijiang, he is not only a young master, although he has business experience, but he has never really come into contact with the coastal business district; In the 21st century, he has no experience of living at the grassroots level along the coast. The so-called good at retreat, not good at pragmatism. Even though she learned a lot of valuable information from Wang Cuiqiao, Wang Cuiqiao was a female streamer after all, and she fell into the Qinglou from a local merchant family. She also heard a lot about the grassroots situation in the Daming Haijiang at that time, witnessed little, described more emotionally, and told less systematically. Especially for the sea march operations, it is even more ignorant of it. Yan Hong's knowledge in this area is still quite lacking.

Thanks to Xu Hai, the thief leader, who has both business experience and grassroots gangsters to CEO, he happens to know a lot about these things. His words one by one added a comprehensive understanding of Yan Hong's troops, combat power, and various ills in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Yan Hong's own military knowledge is limited to conquering cities on computer games, or reading cool articles on the Internet. But after all, he also has some experience in knowing people at a low level. Xu Hai's description of several battles can be described as having a beginning and an end, and there is no confusion at all. And his own pre-war planning, analysis of the thinking of the Ming army generals, changes in the course of the battle and his responses, and explanations of gains and losses after the war, although the words are very popular, they are very clear. This made Yan Hong sensitively aware that although this Xu Hai was born as a monk and had limited literacy, he had not read a few books. But when it comes to fighting, there seems to be a natural aptitude for war. In terms of potential power at sea, Wang Zhi is naturally the strongest. But if it is only based on the use of soldiers to fight, no one can come out of Xu Hai's right. This is also the reason why he has the ability to suppress Chen Dong and Ye Ma Erkou.

As for the sins of burning, killing and looting that Xu Hai committed himself, Xu Hai was quite ashamed. But Yan Hong insisted on letting him make it clear by himself, and he had to narrate it one by one. Not to mention the murder at sea, he led the Japanese and local pirates to capture the state city and slaughter the people, and did a lot of things. The more he spoke, the more frightened he became, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Speaking of the most embarrassing queen, Xu Hai himself was already sweaty and wet, and his buttocks slipped after the worst, and he knelt on the ground and said: "Yan Gongzi doesn't need to ask again, Xu Mou's crime is indeed unforgivable, you, just behead me." ”

Yan Hong sneered: "If it weren't for Sister Cuiqiao's deep affection for you, if it weren't for the fear that after you died, Chen Dong and Ye Ma would commit the Ming Dynasty, and the matter of opening the sea and trade would also die, wouldn't you behead you?" Sister-in-law, you understand what I said earlier, right? Even if your head is cut off, there will be no compensation for the thousands of soldiers and civilians you have killed. So, just put it around your neck. In the rest of your life, do more good deeds to pay for your sins. Can repay one cent, repay one cent, can repay half and repay half. Otherwise, even if I don't do it, you yourself will not escape justice. ”

Xu Haidao: "But I don't know, what does Yan Gongzi want me to do?" But there is a sending, and they dare not disobey. ”

Yan Hong nodded and said, "Speaking of which, I just have a big matter, and I need your help." If this great thing is accomplished, perhaps your sins will be atoned for. ”

When Liang Rufei heard this, he stood up and said, "Eldest son, such a major event is not something that Liang should hear. Retired first. "He has been in Yanfu for all these years, and he knows some things very well, and he really shouldn't know it.

Yan Hong said: "Brother Liang, you are a hero on the rivers and lakes, naturally you are alone and chic. But I treat you like a friend. What's more, there are so many places that rely on you when I go down to Jiangnan this time, these things are what I want to do, so why bother to hide it from you? Friendship with friends is a sincere word, Brother Liang doesn't have to think too much. ”

Liang Rufei saw Yan Hong speak, very sincerely. He knew that although he was strong in martial arts, his status was low. In this era of strict class barriers, it is actually a high-level eagle dog in Yanfu. Unexpectedly, Yan Hongtang's grandson would really have a relationship with a martial artist of his own, and he couldn't help but feel a little grateful in his heart, so he sat down again.

Yan Hong said to Xu Hai again: "Sister-in-law, this Liang Rufei Liang brother, his martial arts are really amazing. Today he rescued you outside the yamen, and you know the skills he has shown. If, by his own nature, he wants to cut off your head and remove harm from the people, it is also his right to do it to the people. ”

Xu Hai hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you Liang Daxia for not killing." Xu Hai was deeply sinful, and it was not a pity to die. If Liang Daxia wants to take my head, when I will do a big thing for Yan Gongzi, Xu will stick out his head and kill him, and he will never complain. ”

Yan Hong nodded and said, "Brother Liang also knows the general situation. For the thousands of people along the coast, I will send your head to my sister-in-law. Besides, my grandfather, Yan Ge, also hopes to save your sister-in-law's life. So, you can rest assured that this way. ”

Yan Hong said this, but he was secretly pointing at Liang Rufei. He knew that this Mr. Liang was ordered by his father Yan Shifan to take Xu Hai's life. If you really want to start, I'm afraid that my own brocade guards can't stop him. So, let's get to the bottom of it first. It is expected that the words have been said here, and Liang Rufei will not openly refute Yan Song's idea.

Next, Yan Hong was not in a hurry, and explained what he talked to Wang Cuiqiao on the boat that day about recruiting An Xu Hai, exterminating Chen Dong and Ye Ma, and even playing the Heavenly Family, driving the sea ban, and allowing trade with foreign countries. In recent days, Yan Hong has learned a lot about the situation of the people and the Japanese people in the southeast and at sea from Wang Cuiqiao, Xu Wenchang and Xu Hai, and his thinking has become clearer and clearer, and he has drawn this blueprint more and more attractively.

Xu Wenchang and Wang Cuiqiao had discussed this issue with Yan Hong before. Xu Hai listened to it, but nodded frequently. A face that has been weathered for a long time also flashed with irrepressible joy. It was only after listening to it that Xu Haicai said: "Yan Gongzi, if what you said can be done, it will really be the blessing of the Ming Dynasty and the blessing of the people." The coastal people were forced to be thieves, if they could be honest and honest, and go to the people to exchange large sums of money for silver, who would not want to? It's just that there is still a group of villains who are used to doing evil, and they may not be willing to trade honestly. After all, robbery with knives and guns also has the pleasure of robbery. ”

Yan Hongxin said, I know the Tao, your brother has the deepest experience of the pleasure of this robbery. But he didn't say anything, only said: "As long as the Heavenly Family decrees to allow trade, so that most of the merchants and people along the coast can sail to the sea, then a few clowns who jump off the beam, even if they still want to bully the weak, kill people and set fires, can't I be the Ming officials and soldiers one by one?" So I just need your help, brother-in-law. As long as your team of men and horses can return to the imperial court, and then persuade the old ship owner Wang Zhi to be a well-behaved maritime merchant, then with your two men and horses to assist the court and exterminate the thieves, why should this Chen Dong and Ye Ma be in trouble? Those sporadic bandits, or thieves who do not change their nature, are even more vulnerable. ”

Xu Haidao: "However, since I have been recruited and returned to the sea, will the old ship owner still believe me?" At sea now, who dares to go against the old shipowner's will? ”

Yan Hong said: "These things naturally have to be done step by step. In my heart, Yan, I have a plan. My Yan's planning is not proper, and I also have the help of Mr. Xu Wen. I, Yan, have insufficient strength, and I have the backing of Governor Lu and my grandfather Yan Ge. I only ask your sister-in-law, are you willing to do this? You must know that as long as you respond to this matter, I am afraid that you will have to get together with your sister less and leave more, and you will not be able to live a few days in peace. Once you do this, I am afraid that such would-be thieves, pirates, and well-dressed scum like Li Wenzao will regard you as an enemy. This bloody storm can only be three points more tragic than your past murder and overselling goods. And above the sea, the imperial court is not able to help, and many times you still have to rely on yourself. ”

Xu Hai nodded and said: "If there is no Yan Gongzi, Xu's life is long gone, how can there be any days when there are more gatherings with Cui Qiao?" As for the imperial court's inability to help, when Xu Haigu got on the boat that day, what kind of imperial aid did the imperial court have? is different from a knife and a gun, spelling out this great background. It's just that Cui Qiao is not good to go with me to live the days of licking blood with the knife head, and it is true that you can't take care of you without Yan Gongzi. As long as she and the child in her womb are safe, even if Xu Hai dies in the sea, I will be at ease! ”

Wang Cuiqiao listened to Lang Jun's words that he only cared about his own safety, and couldn't help but be grateful, held Xu Hai's hand, and said, "Xu Lang!" And he said no more.

Several people made a preliminary decision, and Wang Cuiqiao said: "Brother Hong, now Xu Lang has been rescued from prison, but he is still in this Shaoxing City, so he has not escaped from Li Wenzao's palm. It's better to think of a charter and send him to the sea as soon as possible to ensure that he is safe. ”

Yan Hong hadn't answered yet, but Xu Wenchang smiled and said, "Cuiqiao, you have always been ice and snow smart, but when you talk about this widow, you get confused." During the day, Yan Huhou had already agreed with Li Wenzao that Jinyiwei would take Xu Hai away and detain him in this county. At this time, if the Marquis of Yan Hu dared to take Xu Hai out of Shaoxing City, Li Wenzao would talk about the escape of the Japanese from prison and mobilize troops and horses to intercept and kill. If the people swarm again, even if Xu Hai can really escape by bloodshed, it will be an armed robbery and escape. Afterwards, it can only make the Heavenly Family angry, not to mention opening the sea to trade, I am afraid that Xu Hai will become the head of the criminal wanted by the Ministry of War. ”
