In fact, Qian Yuan was not familiar with Tan Wei. In the memories left by his predecessor, he met only once in the 25th year of Jiajing. At that time, Qian Yuan was more jealous and looked down on his second uncle who had a scholarly reputation but was not enterprising.

After learning the inside story, Qian Yuan got some impressions from Tan Lun, Tang Shunzhi, and his mother Tan, and pieced together the image of Wanlike with the style of Renxia.

Tan Wei was a little talented, well-read in poetry and books, and also knew military strategies, and was both civil and military. He was cynical because his father was sceptered by the court during the big ceremony. He was full of disgust for the career of the officialdom. After playing a trick, he became free. He went north and south for a long time, and then ran to the sea. He was a typical hiker.

But Tan Wei's last trip completely changed his destiny, and the change in destiny undoubtedly came from the arrival of Qian Yuan, a time traveler, and even more from the meeting with Qian Yuan.

"So, Xu Hai can't hold on anymore?" Qian Yuan was a little surprised. Although Xu Hai could fight, his foundation was shallow. Wang Zhi was very knowledgeable. With his deep foundation and fighting with Xu Hai, this was Xu Hai's weakness.

"At the end of April this year, there was a battle in mid-May. Xu Hai tried all his strength and defeated Wang Zhi's fleet twice, but he had no choice but to kill 1,000 enemies and hurt himself." Tan Wei talked happily, obviously making sufficient preparations before coming. "From the situation at that time, if there was no stop to fight, Xu Hai would be strangled by Wang Zhi within one to two years..."

"What happened at that time?" Qian Yuan's pupils shrank slightly.

Tan Wei nodded and sighed: "Have you heard of Ye Zongman?"

"I know that Fujian maritime merchants have invaded Fujian and the coastal areas of Zhejiang many times before the Ligang was destroyed."

"Even if Wang Zhi and Xu Hai started a war, the invasion of the coastal Japanese pirates did not stop, because Japanese pirates like Ye Zongman who were independent of Wang Zhi and Xu Hai." Tan Wei explained in detail and said softly: "A month ago, Xu Hai and Ye Zongman secretly formed an alliance to fight against Wang Zhi."

"What!" Qian Yuan suddenly stood up from the big stone, "Is Wang Zhi dead?"

"No...not only not." Tan Wei was a little embarrassed, "Twenty days ago, Xu Hai, Ye Zongman fought with Wang Zhi's fleet on the sea, but as a result... Ye Zongman counterattacked and Xu Hai was defeated."

What Tan Wei was embarrassed was that he was chased and had no way out. He was now well-known under Xu Hai's command, and he had five or six hundred men under his command. He wanted to disrupt the situation... but he was chased and killed.

"What's the last one?"

"Xu Hai is really brave. He took off his armor and asked his personal guards to evacuate on a big ship. He only led ten personal guards into Wang Zhi's fleet and suddenly jumped to kill Wang Zhi." Tan Wei coughed twice, "Brother Yuan, I just heard from others, and I don't know whether it is true or false."

Qian Yuan couldn't help but mutter in his heart, it was like he was hearing a storyteller in a teahouse. How many people under Wang Zhi could make Xu Hai get close to him with just ten people?

"Anyway, in the end, Xu Hai and Wang Zhi made a treaty and both sides stopped and quit." Tan Wei grabbed his head, "Once the war is stopped, I'm afraid that the southeast coast will suffer another disaster!"

Xu Hai, Ye Zongman and others are different. Qian Yuan has checked relevant information. Even if the latter invaded, it would be divided into several Japanese pirates and plundered in various places. Overall, the scale is not large, but Xu Hai either doesn't play or just plays big.

Qian Yuan squatted down slowly, turned his mind sharply, grabbed a blade of grass in his hand and rubbed it between his fingers, and suddenly looked up and asked, "Can Ye Zongman belong to Wang Zhi's command?"

"No." Tan Wei shook his head and said, "Ye Zongman has already gone to Fujian. In fact, he was forced into the alliance by Xu Hai. Perhaps this is the reason why he contacted Wang Zhi to fight back."

"Xu Hai... Wang Zhi... Ye Zongman." Qian Yuan got up and paced back and forth, frowned and thought hard. Perhaps Xu Hai's life was due to Ye Zongman, or perhaps Ye Zongman just wanted to benefit from the fisherman.

Tan Wei looked at this nephew who had not seen him for more than ten years but had been annoyed by him in the past two or three years. He was really a character. From a series of conversations, he keenly realized that Qian Yuan's division of maritime forces, the key points he asked about. Unfortunately, he had already gotten married, otherwise he would remember that he had two unmarried nieces at home.

Qian Yuan suddenly stopped and asked in a deep voice: "Why did Wang Zhi and Xu Hai start a war last year?"

"Why did the war start?" Tan Wei said in surprise: "This... there are many different opinions. It is said that this is not the first time Xu Hai sent an assassin to assassinate Wang Zhi."

"That's just a fuse." Qian Yuan shook his head, "Wang Zhi's sphere of influence is around Japan. In fact, he is unwilling to be a pirate or a reputation as a Japanese pirate. Xu Hai makes a living by robbery and regards wealth as his life. There is actually no obvious conflict of interest between the two."

Seeing that Tan Wei was thinking hard and silent, Qian Yuan said again: "Let me say that, my second uncle is now a small leader under Xu Hai. Can you tell who encouraged Xu Hai and Wang Zhi to go to war?"

This is a question that Qian Yuan could not understand before going south. Although there is no clear record of Xu Hai's movement trajectory in history books, if he started a war with the owner of Wufeng ship, he would still fight to the present... It is impossible for him to leave no trace in history books.

Perhaps this is the turning point of history. If Wang Zhi could strangle the Japanese pirates led by Xu Hai, perhaps even if Wang Zhi did not die, there would be a possibility of opening a sea ban on trade.

Seeing Qian Yuan's eyes wide open, Tan Wei whispered: "Brother Yuan, I thought of someone... Maybe it was him."

"who?"

"This man's surname is Fang. The leader of the Japanese pirates under Xu Hai called him Mr. Fang. Everyone thinks he is Xu Hai's military advisor." Tan Wei recalled: "This man is very mysterious and basically does not appear in public."

"On New Year's Eve last year, I talked about him with Zili and Jingchuan Gong. I have inquire more in the past six months, but I have never met you. I only know that this person may be from Zhejiang, and should be from a literati, and he is a conspiracy and favored by Xu Hai."

"Don't stop, keep talking." Qian Yuan took a stone and scratched something on the ground. "No matter what, just say it."

Tsk tsk, talking to his legitimate uncle in this tone... Tan Wei couldn't help but roll his eyes in anger. No wonder Zili was angry when he talked about this nephew.

"It is said that he was with Xu Hai after Ligang was destroyed, and later he followed Xu Hai to capture Jiaxing Prefecture. By the way, he is also in Chongde's victory."

"It is said that he witnessed the marriage for Xu Hai and his two wives... Xu Hai really doesn't know."
