Now everyone knows that the Japanese pirates in the southeast have disappeared, and there is only one Wang Zhi left, and a traumatized Wang Zhi can no longer cause any storms. In this way, there is no need to garrison the Southeast, which means that Hu Zongxian's mission has ended. Is this a blessing or a disaster for Hu Zongxian?

I'm afraid it's a disaster.

Hu Zongxian knew very well that in the entire Southeast war to pacify the Japanese, he almost achieved nothing, and almost all the victory had nothing to do with him, but it was suspected of missing the opportunity to fight. In addition, he embezzled and accepted bribes in the Southeast. In the past, it was because there were Japanese pirates in the Southeast. Not only did Emperor Jiajing endure him, but even officials in the North Korean state endured him. In this way, he had already pacified the Japanese, and he was not the main force to pacify the Japanese. His result was imagined.

At this time, he should not think about being promoted or wealthy. It is a blessing to be able to save his life. However, at this moment, Xu Jie wrote to him that he could guarantee his status in the southeast, which would not prevent him from being moved. And he smelled another way from Xu Jie's heart. That is:

Raise the enemy and respect yourself.

Isn’t Wang Zhi not dead yet?

Although Hu Zongxian did not support Wang Zhi, it did not prevent him from using Wang Zhi's reputation!

As long as he sends a navy, pretending to be Japanese pirates and kills merchants from various vassal states, the Maritime Bureau will not be able to open the Maritime Bureau. At that time, some vassal state merchants flee to the Ming Dynasty and let them see Wang Zhi's flag. Wouldn't there be Japanese pirates again?

With the Japanese pirates again, the influence of the Maritime War Department, Emperor Jiajing still needed himself. In addition, Xu Jie operated in the capital, so his position in the southeast would be relatively stable.

When Luo Xin was defeated, he went to find Wang Zhi and chopped off Wang Zhi's head. At that time, with Wang Zhi's head, he announced that he would quell the Japanese pirates. Who would dare to say that he had no credit?

Even Emperor Jiajing is embarrassed to kill the donkey, right?

However, I heard that Yu Dayou is back, so I will definitely not be able to let Yu Dayou return to the navy, and Yu Dayou must have a grudge against him. Hu Zongxian couldn't help but frown.

"What a trouble!"

"Come!"

"Master!"

"Go and call Hu Ning."

About a quarter of an hour later, Hu Ning walked in: "Uncle, call me."

"You go to the navy and send spies to investigate the situation of the caravans in the Vanda."

Hu Ning's eyes lit up: "Does my uncle want to do it?"

"Yeah!" Hu Zongxian nodded.

"My nephew will go right away."

Hangzhou.

The prefect's office.

Second Hall.

Luo Xin, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou sat around the table. Yu Dayou looked at Luo Xin and said with a look of hope in his eyes:

"Sir, can I follow you and not return to the navy?"

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "No. You are affiliated with Hu Zongxian, I will keep you behind, it is unruly. At that time, if Hu Zongxian is involved in a book, you and I will not be able to fall well."

Now Yu Dayou has a deep prejudice against Hu Zongxian, and his expression became depressed when he heard this. He also knew that Luo Xin was right, so he couldn't help but sigh.

"And..." Luo Xin looked at Yu Dayou and said, "You must be mentally prepared, I'm afraid Hu Zongxian won't let you take charge of the navy."

"Why?" Yu Dayou said with a wide eyebrow.

Luo Xin remembered the letter from Xu Jie that his subordinates intercepted. Hu Zongxian and Xu Jie joined forces to pretend to be Japanese pirates to rob the merchants of the vassal states. This must be used by the navy. How could Yu Dayou take charge of the navy?

It was because Wang Zhi, Xu Hai and Xin Wulang suddenly attacked the Southeast, which made Hu Zongxian not take action. Now he should take action, right?

However, these words cannot be said to Yu Dayou, and he pondered for a moment:

"The relationship between you and Hu Zongxian has completely broken down. I'm afraid he will free you."

Yu Dayou is not a stupid person either. He immediately figured it out and felt like he was being pulled away from his energy.

"Then...what else is my point when I go back?"

"Go back!" Luo Xin whispered: "Be careful in everything and don't be caught by Hu Zongxian."

"I will understand. It's just..."

Luo Xin reached out and patted Yu Dayou on the shoulder. Although he was much younger than Yu Dayou, the expressions of both of them were extremely natural.

"Don't think too much. Do your own thing well, and it may be a bright future!"

"I'll borrow auspicious words from my master!" Yu Dayou reluctantly cheered up and said, "I'll go back tomorrow."

On the vast sea.

The fleet of merchants from the vassal state saw Wang Cuiqiao's fleet, and slowed down and formed a defensive formation. Their ships were fewer than Wang Cuiqiao and others, which made them extremely alert.

In fact, at this time, many merchants from all over the country had gathered in the waters around the Ming Dynasty. However, they learned that the Japanese pirates were attacking the Ming Dynasty and the Maritime Bureau was closed, so they all hid on some islands, waiting for the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese pirates to decide before they could talk about it.

If the Ming Dynasty wins, it is the best result. They can go directly to the Maritime Service. If the Japanese pirates win, it is nothing. They will go to the Japanese pirates to discuss business. Anyway, the Japanese pirates also do business, but they only make less money when doing business with the Japanese pirates.

Finally, they waited for the result of hope. Wang Zhi only fled with two boats, about two thousand people, and disappeared. The Ming Dynasty won the victory, so they could just go directly to the Maritime Bureau.

At this time, in this sea area, many caravans left the islands and headed towards the Ming Dynasty. What Wang Cuiqiao met was just one of them.

Seeing the other party's cautious appearance, Wang Cuiqiao and the others did not move forward, but deviated from the channel towards the Ming Dynasty. They sent Wang Cuiqiao back to Hangzhou Prefecture just by the way, so they had to force the Japanese pirates nearby first, and finally send Wang Cuiqiao to the Ming Dynasty.

When the merchants of the vassal state saw that Wang Cuiqiao's fleet had changed their navigation direction, they still did not dare to relax their vigilance. Until Wang Cuiqiao's fleet disappeared into the vast sea, the merchants of the vassal state breathed a long sigh.

"Where are pirates? There are fifty sea ships. Didn't it mean that the pirates have been annihilated by the Ming Dynasty? Didn't it mean that Wang Zhi only had two ships? Xu Hai and Xin Wulang were also dead, where did the pirates come from?"

"Can it be the Ming Navy?"

"It's not the banner of the Ming Navy."

"But it's not the pirate's skeleton flag."

"The flag looks like a dragon, oriental dragon, dragon flag."

"Dragon flag? That is a special flag for the Ming Dynasty royal family. Could it be the Ming Dynasty royal family?"

"How is this possible? How could the Ming Dynasty royal family go out to sea?"

“…………”

Everyone was talking, but in the end they accelerated their way towards the Ming Dynasty. On their far left, a boat was undulating in the waves, and there were dozens of pirates on the ship, three of whom stood at the bow and looked at the sea boat of the merchants of the vassal state. The pirate on the left spoke:

"The merchants from the vassal states have begun to go to the Ming Dynasty."
