Guards House.
Luo Xingchen met Xiong Liangxiao and Song Chen again.
This time, the two of them were no longer as unruly as they were at the beginning, and there was no contempt or disdain in their eyes when they looked at him.
Xiong Liangxiao bowed his hands and said, "Admiral, Wangjia Water Village will accept the conditions you proposed."
A smile appeared on Luo Xingchenjun's face. He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of water.
What was brewed in the tea cup was Pang Dahai, a plant found by Yang's Trading Company from the south. It originally had several local names, but when Yang Ruoqing saw it, she used a dehydration method to treat the plant, and finally took it. It's called Fatty Sea.
Pangdahai moisturizes the lungs and throat, and with the addition of rock sugar, it has a unique taste. Luo Xingchen likes to drink it, so Yang Ruoqing specially asked someone to bring some from the capital.
"I know the situation in Wang's Water Village. Take a look at this." Luo Xingchen clapped his hands.
Two soldiers walked in from the outside and placed two documents in front of them.
Xiong Liangxiao and Song Chen both saw the information placed on the table. They looked at each other and then raised their hands and let go of the booklet.
Immediately, both Xiong Liangxiao and Song Chen showed surprise in their eyes.
It turns out that this information is about Wangjia Water Village, and the data on personnel and ships in it are very consistent, and there is no difference at all.
"Don't worry, this information was written by your village leader herself. There is also a letter from her here. It was delivered quickly through secret channels. You should take a good look at it." Luo Xingchen said lightly.
Sure enough, there was a letter underneath the two documents.
After Xiong Liangxiao opened it, he took a closer look and found that the fonts and seals inside were authentic and confirmed to be written by Wang Meihua.
In the letter, Wang Meihua once again urged him to lead the younger generation to join the court and ignore the stubbornness of the older generation.
If the younger generation wants to join the imperial court, the so-called elders will not have much restraint. After all, there are only more than 500 people in the entire Wang Family Water Village.
This time, he had already made a decision before Jiang An came back. It would be too late if he didn't surrender at this time.
Xiong Liangxiao glanced at Song Chen, and then the two of them took two steps back and knelt down on one knee towards Luo Xingchen.
"Admiral, the Wangjia Water Village is willing to do the hard work of the dogs and horses, dedicate themselves to it, and die."
Luo Xingchen held the arms of the two men, lifted them up slightly, and laughed and said, "You don't need to work hard, you just need to be loyal to the court."
Xiong Liangxiao and Song Chen took advantage of the situation and got up. They were still a little worried. After all, it was a detour to seek refuge now. If it weren't for the relationship between the village owner and his wife in the capital, the treatment of Wangjia Water Village would not be as good as that of Zhanlong Village.
"Admiral, when will the food for the water village be delivered? The water village is really about to run out of food." Xiong Liangxiao asked eagerly.
The purpose of taking refuge is, first of all, survival.
Only when you truly survive can you talk about anything else.
Wangjia Water Village is not a water pirate village like Zhanlong Village. Instead, it relies on the aquatic products of Wuchao Lake and does business in nearby towns to feed the people in the village. In addition, Wangjia Water Village also has a transport fleet that specializes in Wuchao Lake. On-the-run transportation.
But in the past year, water pirates have become more and more rampant, especially the emergence of the Wuchao Shihe Bandit, which has made the transportation industry unable to continue. The industries near the town have also been merged and squeezed by the Shihe Bandit, making it impossible for them to survive, so that they were already very wealthy. The Wangjia water village gradually lost its way of survival.
"The food has been prepared and can be transported there, but we still need to talk about the Wang Family Water Village's surrender to the imperial court." Luo Xingchen's lips showed a smile.
Fengsheng, who was standing behind and guarding Luo Xingchen at all times, saw Luo Xingchen showing such a smile and knew that he was going to cheat Wangjia Shuizhai.
Ever since he came to Wuchao Lake to establish the naval garrison, it seems that Luo Xingchen has not suffered a loss yet.
Fengsheng sighed secretly in his heart, his business ability was completely inherited from his wife's.
Sometimes, when you sell someone in person, others will count the money for you.
"What does the admiral need from our water village? We don't have gold and silver in the water village, otherwise we wouldn't be out of food." Xiong Liangxiao became nervous.
"Relax, relax. I don't need gold and silver. What I want is the transport fleet of Shuizhai. From now on, it will be under the control of my garrison." Luo Xingchen said with a smile.
Luo Xingchen's smile was sincere, which made Xiong Liangxiao relax a lot.
"The transport fleet is now parked at the island's port and cannot go out. That Shihe bandit is so unruly that he has broken all the rules in Wuchao Lake in the past two years." Xiong Liangxiao said angrily.
"About this Stone River Bandit, I also asked a new friend to discuss it together."
Luo Xingchen waved his hand and a big man walked in from the outside door. He knelt down on one knee as soon as he came in.
"My subordinate, Lu Zhanlong, pays homage to the admiral."
"Lu Zhanlong, get up and sit down. These two are Xiong Liangxiao and Song Chen from Wangjia Water Village. We want to discuss the Shihe Bandit..." Luo Xingchen said, "As long as the Shihe Bandit is solved, there should be no particularly powerful water in Wuchao Lake." Stolen."
Because of this, in Luo Xingchen's view, solving the Shihe bandits was an extremely important matter.
As long as the biggest water pirate in Wuchao Lake, the Shihe water pirate, is eradicated, the chess game of the main film will be completely revitalized.
"Shihe Bandit, my subordinates have dealt with him before. Half a year ago, on his birthday, more than 80 water bandits in Wuchao Lake went to congratulate him. I also went there at that time..." Lu Zhanlong said straight to the point.
"You have seen the power of naval gunboats, so what is the real strength of Shihe Bandit? How will it compare to my naval gunboats?" Luo Xingchen asked.
"In comparison, Shihe Bandit has more than 500 ships on the surface, and dozens of them are very strong warships. The hulls are also covered with animal skins and smeared with grease. The admiral's gunboats are indeed sharp, but the cannonballs are It's limited. Three ships versus more than 500 ships, I'm afraid it's still not enough." Lu Zhanlong said.
"It seems that Shihe Bandit is very powerful, but it may not be enough to support more than 500 ships by robbing them." Luo Xingchen narrowed his eyes.
Who would want to use this waterway if the boats that sail are not stupid and are always robbed.
In the past, water pirates actually followed a certain rule. They usually collected a protection fee and then let the boat go. After all, water pirates also knew that you can't fish all the time.
But now the Shihe bandits are different. Whenever they encounter a merchant ship, they come to rob them and even kill them indiscriminately.
But as a result, the waterway of Wuchao Lake was almost dug out. However, the Shihe Bandits are still growing and have more than 500 boats. They are official sailors with thousands of people. Such strength is too much. It's scary, if you want to go ashore and capture the county seat, it's only a matter of minutes.
