Yang Cong didn't expect that things would develop like this. He arrested Wang Zhi's parents, wife and children, of course, because he wanted to attract Wang Zhi to come and contact him, and then recruit Wang Zhi as the situation.

As a result, Wang Zhi did not send anyone to contact him, but Yan Song sent Yingtian Prefecture Prefecture Meng Huai to steal the people.

It seems that Wang Zhi thought Yan Song was better than him, so he chose to rely on Yan Song instead of contacting him.

Of course he didn't want to see this situation. So, how can we ask Wang Zhi to come and contact him?

This question does not seem to be complicated. As long as he proves that he is stronger than Yan Song, he will do it. At least he has to prove that his power in the southeast is stronger than Yan Song. Yan Song has no way to snatch people from him.

Is Yan Song strong?

Of course this guy is very strong, otherwise he would not have been able to leave his name in history and become one of the most famous corrupt officials in history.

However, Yan Song's strength is not about strategizing, nor is he leading troops to fight. His strength is about fighting for power and profit, corruption and abuse of power. In terms of force, he basically has no strength.

This guy actually chose to fight against him for force. Wouldn't he beg him?

Yang Cong changed his low-key style during this period. The next day, he visited the Governor's Office of the Five Army in Nanjing and convened the left and right governors on duty to discuss the matter of reorganizing the army and preparing for war.

The Nanzhili garrison system was the most special in the entire Ming Dynasty, because Nanjing also had the Governor's Office and the Ministry of War. It can be said that except for the rule of the emperors of the current dynasty, the Nanzhili garrison system exists independently and is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War in the Capital and the Governor's Office of the Five Army.

Yang Cong was originally the governor of Zhejiang and had the right to govern Nanzhili Tunwei. With the support of the Duke of Wei, the left and right governors of the Governor's Office of the Five Army of Nanjing naturally obeyed his advice.

This time, in order to shock Wang Zhi, he also invested a lot of money, so he recruited 50,000 elite troops in the Tunwei at one time!

You should know that Jiajing did not promise him to provide food and wages. In other words, he had to find a way to solve the food and wages for the 50,000 elite troops in the 50,000 military rations a year. If the most basic salary is added, it would be almost one million taels a year. Generally, the governor dared not do this, and even Jiajing would not dare to do this.

Just kidding, the 50,000 elite troops in the Ming Dynasty did not mean that there were no soldiers. In the Nanzhili area, 100,000 elite troops in the Ming Dynasty could be summoned. The main reason was that the Ming Dynasty had no money. Not to mention one million taels, it would probably be difficult to take out the 100,000 taels of Jiajing.

Of course, it was a bit difficult for Yang Cong to take it out. Although the salt industry business is profitable, it would not be a problem for their Yang family to make more than 2 million taels a year after monopolizing the salt in Shanxi. However, the problem is that half of the more than 60,000 salt intake belongs to the Lu family, and their Yang family can only get more than 1 million taels a year.

Is he crazy about doing this? If he adds the cost of weapons and equipment and warships, he will not only not make money, but also have to pay money in it.

Of course he was not crazy. He could still calculate the accounts. The income from Southeast overseas trade is no worse than the salt business in the Ming Dynasty. If he could replace the four major maritime merchants in one fell swoop and become the leader of Southeast overseas trade, let alone one million taels, it is possible to make 10 million taels a year!

His order to recruit 50,000 Tun Guards was just the first step. Then, Shao Qianhu, who had led his troops to steal people, was transferred from Jinling and transferred to the remote Yizhou Guards to serve as Qianhu, and was then inscribed into the cold palace.

It's because this guy knew each other at the beginning and didn't talk back to the prince of Wei Xu Bangrui, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of being a thousand households.

Subsequently, Yingtian Prefecture was impeached by the Censor of the Censorate for corruption, and was almost dismissed from office and investigated.

Yang Cong wanted to tell Wang Zhi through these actions that it was useless to rely on Yan Song. At least, in this southeastern territory, Yan Song could not beat him at all.

After using these series of methods, more than ten days have passed. At this time, the elite soldiers and craftsmen of the Shenji Camp who were recruited from Shanxi had entered Nanzhili and were about to arrive in Jinling City. Wang Zhi finally admitted his defeat.

Wang Zhi was helpless. He didn't know how many times he had begged Yan Song's confidant, but his parents, wife and children were still in Yang Cong's hands. Even the people he sent could not get close to the house where his parents, wife and children lived. He didn't even know what his parents, wife and children were doing.

In this case, unless he takes people to attack Jinling City, he will not be able to rescue his parents, wife and children.

Does he dare to attack Jinling City?

What a joke, of course he didn't dare. Not to mention how many Tunwei are in Nanzhili, can he lead his army to the city of Jinling? Even if he leads his army to the city of Jinling, what if he leads his army to the city of Jinling, Yang Cong is summoning elite Tunwei now. There are at least 30,000 to 40,000 Tunwei stationed in Jinling City, and his subordinates are less than 10,000. Will he go to Jinling City to seek death?

Yan Song was also beaten up. This robbery is no better than robbing an official position. It doesn’t mean that he has power and means. The key is that there are people. His gangs are basically civil officials and there are no military generals at all. Especially in Nanzhili, it would be good if he could make a thousand households move. Yang Cong was the governor's office of the Five Army, so what did he use to rob him?

Wang Zhi finally realized the reality and no longer relied on Yan Song, but secretly sent his godson Mao Lie to Jinling City to visit Yang Cong.

When Yang Cong heard that Wang Zhi's people finally came, he was naturally very happy. At the same time, he was a little nervous. Although he was already the governor of Zhejiang and could mobilize thousands of troops, he himself was still an ordinary person and not a master.

Now that I want to personally meet someone sent by the Japanese pirate leader Wang Zhi, it is fake to say that I am not nervous.

After thinking about it, he still attracted Tang Kekuan and Qi Jingtong, standing on both sides of the lobby, one left and one right, and then ordered people to bring in the people sent by Wang Zhi.

As soon as Mao Lie walked in, Yang Cong narrowed his eyes. This guy was indeed not simple. His body was almost as strong as Peng Hu, and his face was full of strength, and his aura was not inferior to Tang Kekuan and Qi Jingtong at all. He really didn't expect that Wang Zhi had such a fierce general.

When Mao Lie saw Yang Cong, he was a little nervous. Although he had good skills, he had a low background. He was a fisherman. Seeing such a great official as the governor, it would be fake to say he was not nervous.

The two looked at each other nervously, and Mao Lie, who was big and thick, became timid. He bowed respectfully: "Little man Mao Lie, see the Governor."

Yang Cong nodded slightly, then asked, "What did Wang Zhi send you here?"

Are you asking questions without knowingly?

Mao Lie did not dare to be arrogant in front of Yang Cong. He could only reply honestly: "Sir, the adoptive father sent a villain mainly to ask the adult to give up his hands and let the adoptive father's family go."

When Yang Cong saw his attitude, he knew that Wang Zhi was admitting his conscience. Just admitting his conscience, and it would be easier to do the next step.
