Luo Xin nodded, knowing what Hu Zongxian said was true.He rejected Hu Zongxian just now, just because he didn't want Hu Zongxian to suspect that he was involved in the southeast military affairs. If Hu Zongxian was willing to tell him about the Japanese pirates, he would not refuse.He didn't like the news, but he wanted to build a good relationship with Hu Zongxian. Luo Xin deeply knew that if he wanted to make a career in the southeast, building a good relationship with Hu Zongxian was the most important thing.Seeing that Luo Xin did not shake his head this time, Hu Zongxian said:
"No, in fact, most of the pirate rebellion suffered by Ming Dynasty today is not Japanese pirates. There are only more than [-] real pirates. The rest are pirates."

How could Luo Xin not know these things?But it was just right to reveal a hint of surprise.

"Alas..." Hu Zongxian sighed before saying, "Although the pirates in the southeast made a scene in the past, they did not pose any threat to Daming like they do now. At that time, besides the more than 2000 real pirates, there were hundreds of pirates." The gang, these pirates were originally citizens of Daming, and became pirates due to various reasons. Later, there were two people, one was Baldy Li, and the other was Xu Dong. These two gradually annexed other pirates and became two gangs. Greatest pirate."

Speaking of this, Hu Zongxian sighed again: "Even so, they will not be able to get on the stage, and it is not difficult to destroy them. It can be said that it is easy. At the beginning when Zhu Wan wiped out the pirates, although in the end because of... Failed, but almost completely wiped out the two biggest pirates at that time, even Li Guangtou and Xu Dong were killed by Zhu Wan. And Wang Zhi was Xu Dong's second master, he escaped by chance, and retreated to the deep sea with some remnants The death of Xu Dong and Li Guangtou caused the pirates to compete for hegemony again, and there appeared pirates such as Mao Zedong, Chen Sipan, and Lu Qi. After Zhu Wan's court executed these people, they quickly grew stronger , even officers and soldiers are not afraid. But Wang Zhi at this time is obviously not as good as those people, and there is a possibility of being annexed by those people at any time."

Speaking of this, Hu Zongxian showed a hint of admiration in his eyes and said: "But Wang Zhi is not a simple person. He also saw his own dangerous situation. So he tried to get close to the officials of the Daming Guard and became a member of the Daming Guard. The gun in the hands of the guard seemed to be willing to be used by the officials of the Ming Dynasty. He secretly cooperated with the officials of the Ming Dynasty to disperse some small pirates little by little, but secretly subdued the scattered pirates. In a short period of time, his The power swelled up. When Wang Zhi became stronger, he joined forces with the government and wiped out Lu Qi, Chen Sipan and others one after another. In this way, Wang Zhi further strengthened his strength, and the officials of the guard were promoted. Everyone is happy.

but……

After that, Wang Zhi monopolized the entire maritime trade and became the largest force on the sea.As long as all the ships entering the sea did not fly Wang Zhi's "Five Peaks" flag, they would all be robbed.Only at this time did the Ming government know that it was a problem to raise tigers, which caused a situation that could not be lost. "

"However, how could the imperial court allow a pirate to become big? The governor of Shandong, Wang Yan, was transferred to the governor of Zhejiang, Fu, Xing, Zhang, and Quandao, to supervise military affairs. He hated coastal officials and pirates like Wang Zhi very much. Lu Tong, Tang Kekuan and others who were imprisoned for the Zhu Wan case, and Yu Daji, the right officer stationed in Qiongzhou, Guangdong, were finally lured and wiped out by Wang Yan's army, and suffered heavy losses. Even he himself almost died. But I have to admit , this Wang Zhi is also a generation of heroes. Although he was forced to leave the coast of Daming, he found another place that can be used as a base. That is Japan."

Speaking of this, Hu Zongxian sighed and said: "If Daming could continue to chase and kill Wang Zhi, and finally killed Wang Zhi, the sea area of ​​​​Daming would be clear.

But... Unfortunately, Daming gave Wang Zhi a chance to breathe.It was just this respite that made Wang Zhi the biggest disaster for Daming. "

"At that time, it was the time of war in Japan, which is the so-called Warring States Period in Japan. Materials were extremely scarce. Although Wang Zhi was defeated by the Ming army, in the days when he had good relations with the Ming government, he was only from In the process of exterminating pirates, he harvested countless treasures. In order to use him to exterminate pirates, Daming also funded him with a large amount of supplies. Later, he monopolized the maritime trade, which can be said to be a huge fortune. Therefore, although his people were exterminated by Daming officers and soldiers Most of the time, but he is still a very rich person. When such a person went to Japan, he was naturally treated with great courtesy by the Japanese.

As a result, Wang Zhi made friends with a large number of dignitaries in Japan, and Wang Zhi was indeed loyal, trustworthy, and studied since he was a child, which made the Japanese gradually respect him.Wang Zhi had ships, soldiers and supplies under his command, and was highly praised by the Japanese, so Wang Zhi quickly recovered in Japan and occupied dozens of islands in Japan. He was no longer a pirate. The scale of a small country, this is Wang Zhi's transformation.He has become the strongest and most powerful force in the sea, to the point where he doesn't need to look at Da Ming's face. "

Luo Xin nodded, he knew that what Hu Zongxian said was completely correct, but he didn't speak.He and Hu Zongxian only met for the first time, and he didn't really know Hu Zongxian. normal.

Moreover……

Where does Luo Xin have the energy to take care of Hu Zongxian at this time?
His own business is enough to keep him awake at night.

When Hu Zongxian saw Luo Xin, he just listened to the story, but didn't react at all.He was very conflicted in his heart, on the one hand he felt that Luo Xin was not giving face, but on the other hand he was a little happy, which proved that Luo Xin had no intention of robbing him of his military power.Picking up the wine glass and toasting Luo Xin, he said:

"No, it's not that my brother doesn't want to wipe out the Japanese pirates. In fact, it's not difficult to wipe out the two thousand Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates in Ming Dynasty were not real Japanese pirates, but Wang Zhi. But now my brother is Qian donkey is so poor that he doesn't know how to destroy Wang Zhi, but you are the god of the Ming army, can you give me some pointers?"

Luo Xin shook his head and said: "Brother, I don't know anything about the situation in the southeast, I only heard something from you. In such a difficult situation, Buqi really can't think of a solution."

There was hesitation in Hu Zongxian's expression, and finally he seemed to grit his teeth and said: "No, I have already contacted Wang Zhi and want to recruit him."

Luo Xin's face remained calm, and he just looked at Hu Zongxian indifferently.In fact, at this time, Luo's heart was as calm as water. He came to see Hu Zongxian this time for two purposes, one was to recruit soldiers, and the second was to persuade Hu Zongxian not to support himself and eliminate the pirates as soon as possible.Now it seems that I have achieved both of these goals, so I am not willing to participate in the extermination of Japanese pirates.

His contribution in Daming is already too great, and his contribution has already been overwhelming. If he personally exterminated the Japanese pirates, wouldn't he go to heaven?Not to mention Emperor Jiajing, even if Emperor Taizong Li Shimin was reborn, he would be afraid of him.Therefore, he didn't want to participate in Hu Zongxian's affairs at all.

And as long as Hu Zongxian wanted to wipe out the Japanese pirates, Luo Xin believed that Hu Zongxian would be able to do it without Luo Xin's help.Therefore, he showed a lack of interest.

Seeing Luo Xin's appearance, Hu Zongxian scratched his head in his heart. He didn't understand, as a military god of a generation, once he encountered a war, how could he not feel itchy?Even if you can't go to the battlefield in person, it would be fun to analyze it with your mouth, right?
Why does Luo Xin look completely uninterested?

Does he really know soldiers?Is he really a military god?

The more he couldn't understand something, the more he wanted to understand it, so he said:

"No, you must help my brother analyze and analyze this matter! As long as you can help my brother, I will definitely support you with all my strength."

Luo Xin could tell that if he didn't say anything, Hu Zongxian might stop supporting him.As for Luo Xin, who had just arrived, he really needed the support of a certain force, otherwise he would fight alone and face too much pressure.

Luo Xin's Gujing Bubo's expression gradually changed, and he slowly revealed a wry smile: "Brother, why do you bother to embarrass me?"

Hu Zongxian was taken aback for a moment. From Luo Xin's tone, he could hear that Luo Xin's words were sincere, but why did he embarrass him...

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he understood.As the leader of the army, how could he not understand that Luo Xin's achievements are so great?It's just that he ignored this question just now, but now that he has figured everything out, his fear of Luo Xin has completely relaxed. He knows that anyone may compete with him, but Luo Xin will not, and Luo Xin can't hide, until At this time, Hu Zongxian showed a sincere smile on his face and said:

"No, I understand what you mean, but there are only two of us here, how about you analyze it for my brother?"

Luo Xin nodded helplessly, and Hu Zongxian became happy.At this time, he was really happy that Emperor Jiajing sent Luo Xin, this is definitely sending him a think tank, and it is also a think tank that does not need to be paid.Dang even said:

"After I got in touch with Wang Zhi, I invited him to meet in Suzhou, but he didn't come."

Now that Luo Xin has agreed to help Hu Zongxian, he no longer hides his emotions. Dang even looked at Hu Zongxian speechlessly, thinking to himself:

"You Hu Zongxian are not stupid, are you? Back then, Wang Zhi was deceived by the court and almost killed him. How could he go ashore again?"

Seeing Luo Xin's speechless face, Hu Zongxian said with embarrassment, "Although Wang Zhi didn't come, his son Mao Haifeng has come."

Speaking of this, Hu Zongxian glanced at Luo Xin, saw that Luo Xin was listening carefully, and continued:
"Mao Haifeng brought a letter from his father. On the one hand, the letter is bragging about his current strength and can clear the sea for the court. On the other hand, he is asking the court to open the sea."

Luo's confidence sank. I'm afraid that Hu Zongxian didn't just want him to help analyze and analyze, because he came to open the sea this time, and the Shibo Department was in charge of this matter.Since Hu Zongxian raised this matter at this time, he should be asking him for something.

At this time, he also realized, why did Hu Zongxian give him a big blow and visit him three times in a row before seeing him.He just wanted to take care of himself. Now that he heard his analysis of his experience, he thought that it was the words that Emperor Jiajing entrusted him to bring to Hu Zongxian, and he felt fear in his heart, so he turned his decision into a request.

However, whether it was Hu Zongxian's choice or request, Luo Xin didn't want to bother.When Hu Zongxian saw Luo Xin's eyes sinking, he was afraid that Luo Xin would get up and leave, so he hurriedly continued:
"How can I decide such a major event as opening the sea? So I have been worrying about it. Fortunately, you are here, and now the court is preparing to open the sea."

"Yes, since the court is ready to open the sea, brother, you can carry out your plan."

A wry smile appeared on Hu Zongxian's face. He understood what Luo Xin meant, that is, your brother should carry out your plan and don't bring me in.

"No, to tell you the truth, Mao Haifeng has been here for nearly a year, and he has urged me to open the sea several times, but I have been refusing. He has lost trust in me, and he has been arguing to go back these days. No. No, you are in charge of the Shipbuilding Department. In order to gain Mao Haifeng’s trust, I would like to ask you to talk to Mao Haifeng.”

Luo Xin frowned slightly and said, "Brother, you are embarrassing me. I don't want to have anything to do with the extermination of Japanese pirates."

"Just please let me meet Mao Haifeng."

"Brother!" Luo Xin said with a sincere face: "I am no less stressed than you now. Those big figures in the court are staring at me. You want me to meet a pirate at this time? Aren't you hurting me? ?”

"No, this is for Daming..."

Luo Xin shook his head firmly, Hu Zongxian frowned and pondered for a while and said:
"No, you help me this time, I will meet that Mao Haifeng with you, as long as you reveal your identity."

Luo Xin frowned and thought for a while, but it was hard to reject Hu Zongxian, and finally nodded in embarrassment:

"Okay, let's meet up then."

After the words fell, he asked curiously: "Brother, do you really want to negotiate with Wang Zhi?"

At this time, Hu Zongxian no longer concealed it from Luo Xin: "No, the negotiation is fake, and the temptation to the enemy is real."

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "Wang Zhi will not lose his memory."

"It's hard to say!" Hu Zongxian said in a concentrated voice: "As long as he has desires, he may not be fooled."

Luo Xin thought about it for a while, and it is true that many people are like moths to a flame just because they have desires.But then he frowned slightly and said:
"Ok."

Hu Zongxian was overjoyed, and clasped his fists towards Luo Xin and said, "No, thank you."

Luo Xin looked at Hu Zongxian and said seriously: "Brother, let's talk about it first, I just accompany you to meet Mao Haifeng. In the future, you will destroy the Japanese pirates and make great achievements. It has nothing to do with me. I will accompany you to meet Mao Haifeng." I don't want others to know about Haifeng."
