The next day, Wang Zhi sent several close confidants with his own handwritten letter to the Zhejiang Chengxuan Government Envoy Si Yamen in Hangzhou Prefecture, requesting the opening of Zhoushan Ligang to facilitate trade and trade, and to convert private traders into public traders.
At the same time, Wang Zhi also sent several people with copies of handwritten letters to Ningbo Prefecture, Shaoxing Prefecture, Hangzhou Prefecture and Taizhou Prefecture to notify the local officials and also expressed the request to open Zhoushan Port and promote trade.
Suddenly, there was a big earthquake in Jiangnan.
On a desert island in the waters of Zhejiang, Xu Hai's group of more than 6,000 Japanese pirates were resting.
A speedboat rowed to the coast, and Saburo Toribayashi got off the speedboat.
"Xinxi, Sanlang, why are you back so soon? Didn't Mr. Wang Zhi treat you well?!" A Japanese pirate leader on duty saw Sanlang Birdlin getting off the boat and joked with a smile.
"Matsushita-kun, I don't have time to joke with you. Take me to see leader Xu Hai quickly." Saburo Toribayashi said hurriedly.
"Leader Xu is having a happy meditation with Yuriko. I'm afraid I don't have time to see you." The Japanese pirate leader Matsushita Shanger said to Toribayashi Saburo with a wink, twisting his hips as he spoke.
"You can take a break any day in Huanxi Zen. The news I have is related to the wealth of the family governor, so we can't delay it for a moment!"
Saburo Toribayashi said anxiously.
Matsushita Sangji suddenly became serious when Saburo Toribayashi mentioned the family governor's wealth. They all came from the Matsuura family, the daimyo of Hizen Province. The Matsuura family governor was their master. The reason why they became Japanese pirates under Xu Hai was because of Matsuura. Since the family governor's orders are related to the family governor's wealth, it is natural to take them seriously.
"Toribayashi-kun, come with me." Matsushita Shanger didn't hesitate anymore and led Saburo Toribayashi to the camp where Xu Hai was resting.
Sure enough, before they even reached the tent, they heard a burst of exciting sounds coming from inside.
"Chief Xu, Sanlang Torillin has something important to report." Matsushita Shanger stood in front of the tent and reported to the inside.
The faint sound of the camp was interrupted. About three seconds later, Xu Hai's voice was heard from inside: "Come in!"
Saburo Toribayashi and Shoji Matsushita then walked into the camp. In the tent, Xu Hai was shirtless and looking at the two of them with an unhappy expression. No one would be happy if they were interrupted at this juncture. A Japanese girl in the quilt covered her neck with a quilt. She stared at Saburo Toribayashi and Joji Matsushita with a rosy face, and licked her tongue playfully.
"What are you reporting for?!" Xu Hai asked displeasedly.
"Look back. Yesterday, I was ordered to celebrate the completion of Zhoushan Ligang Port by Huiwang Wang Zhi. This morning, Huiwang Wangzhi confidently sent his cronies to the Zhejiang government with his personal letter, requesting the Ming Dynasty to open Ligang Port for trade and exchange, and to facilitate private traders to the public. This is a serious matter. I will report it to you as soon as I confirm it. Once Ligang is opened, it will become a golden mountain, and money will flow like water. Should we make plans early, report to the governor, and prepare more trade supplies? So I can get a piece of the action.”
Saburo Torilli reported, reminding Xu Hai to make early plans for the opening of Hong Kong and mutual markets, so as to get a share of the pie.
"What did you say?! Wang Zhi sent an envoy this morning to ask the government to open Hong Kong and mutual markets?!" Xu Hai became excited, and his displeasure at being interrupted by Saburo Tori and others from the Happy Zen Movement was wiped away.
"Exactly!" Saburo Toriyama nodded vigorously, "Leader Xu, you Ming people have a saying: 'Strike first to gain strength, strike later to suffer disaster'. The opening of Ligang Port is about to begin. We must prepare early and make more preparations." Maritime trade supplies, lest all the meat be eaten by King Hui, and we won’t even be able to share a sip of soup.”
"Prepare sea trade supplies?!"
When Xu Hai heard this, he laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Why is Leader Xu laughing?!"
Saburo Toribayashi couldn't help but frown, if the family governor hadn't ordered us to take you as our master, how could we have allowed you to be so rude in front of me.
"Wang Zhi is inflated and whimsical. Are you also infected by him?! Are you still preparing supplies for sea trade?! The Ming court strictly enforces a sea ban and no one is allowed to enter the sea. This is the national policy of the Ming court. How can it be changed easily!"
Xu Hai twitched the corner of his mouth and showed a disdainful smile.
Among the Japanese pirates, Saburo Toribayashi disobeyed orders the most. He was as stupid as a pig, but he thought he was the smartest and often told himself the opposite. Yesterday, he was sent to congratulate Wang Zhi, with the idea of using Wang Zhi's hand to get rid of Saburo Tori, but unfortunately, this guy's life was good.
"But King Hui is very confident..." Saburo Toribayashi insisted.
"I told you, Wang Zhi is arrogant and fanciful! There is no way the Ming court will agree to open a mutual market between Hong Kong and Hong Kong! Huh, if we keep silent, the current private market can still be maintained, and local governments such as Suzhou Prefecture and Hangzhou Prefecture will also open up One eye is closed, but as it is now, envoys are sent to ask the government to open Hong Kong and mutual trade, oh, let alone opening Hong Kong and mutual trade, believe it or not, even the private market will be destroyed!"
Xu Hai stared at Saburo Toribayashi with burning eyes, a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth, and said confidently.
"I beg your pardon, but I disagree!" Saburo Toribayashi looked at Xu Hai without flinching and said with a pinched neck.
You, Xu Hai, are nothing more than a pledge at the feet of our family governor. How can you compare to King Wang Zhi of Hui? ! Wang Zhi, the king of Hui, said personally in public that the opening of the port was imminent, mutual trade was imminent, and the time to make a fortune had come! But you say Wang Zhi is just whimsical? ! I think it’s you, Xu Hai, who is so whimsical!
You have repeatedly refused to listen to my teachings. You are obviously jealous of the talented and capable!
The governor actually handed over the team to such a jealous and whimsical bright dog! You should leave it to me, Saburo Tobayashi!
This is Saburo Tobayashi's true inner thoughts.
"If you don't understand, then obey the order! Pass the order, and take advantage of the moment to quickly sell the supplies we have to Wang Zhi or other Japanese pirate fleets; quickly purchase weapons, arrows, and gunpowder, and tell the men under his command to fight Cheer up, the day of getting rich is here, prepare to raid the southeast with me, grab gold, silver, and women..." Xu Hai glanced at Sanlang Niaolin, and then ordered the two of them.
"What? Are you planning to plunder the southeast?!" Sanlang Toribayashi suddenly shouted in surprise after hearing Xu Hai's order.
"What? Toriyama-kun, are you going to disobey me?! Before Matsuura-sama came, I ordered you to obey my orders?!"
Xu Hai stared at Saburo Toribayashi with an unkind expression.
"Chief Xu, I, Saburo Toolin, naturally dare not disobey the orders of the family governor. However, I want to remind you that at present, Hui Wang Wang Zhi's family is the only one with nearly one hundred thousand men under his command. He is a veritable overlord of the sea. In order to compete with the Ming court, he We opened ports for mutual trade, carefully maintained order along the coast, and issued many orders not to allow pirates like us to plunder the southeast. A few days ago, a group of Jiangmen people who plundered Taizhou Prefecture were punished by King Wang Zhi of Huizhou. I heard that Chief Xu, when he was in Huizhou, When he was under the king's command, he was reprimanded by King Hui for piracy. Now, at the juncture of King Hui's request to open ports and mutual trade, Leader Xu is preparing to plunder the southeast. Isn't he afraid of suffering the wrath of King Hui Wang Zhi?!"
Toriyama Saburo frowned and said.
"Haha, if Wang Zhi's request for trade is not successful, he will definitely become angry and order the plunder of the southeast in order to threaten the government and open up the port and market. We are ready to plunder at this moment, and when Wang Zhi gives the order, we can select the rich as soon as possible The land is plundered, and those who start with it will have meat to eat, but those who start late will only have barren land.”
Xu Hai sneered confidently.
"Hmph, I will listen to your orders. If things are not as you said, I will report the truth to the family governor."
Saburo Toribayashi said with a look of disbelief.
"It's up to you!" Xu Hai said disdainfully.
