Wang Cuiqiao said, "I also know the fate of Wang Zhi. He was too entrusted. At that time, the imperial court''s imperial edict and Amnesty didn''t come down, so he dared to go ashore. He thought the imperial court wouldn''t kill him, but he miscalculated."


    Xu Hai said, "it''s Hu Zongxian who wants to recruit Wang Zhi this time. If I remember correctly, it''s him who recruited Wang Zhi last time. Why, do you want to do the same trick twice? Only fools will be fooled."


    Wang Cuiqiao said, "governor Hu also answered the cause of Wang Zhi''s death in his letter. It was not governor Hu''s intention to trap Wang Zhi, but governor Wang bengu''s wanton behavior. In order to grab merit, he played Wang Zhi''s arrest to the emperor first and advocated capital punishment. As a result, the government and the public talked fiercely, and the Emperor didn''t know where he was, so he ordered to kill Wang Zhi."


    Should Wang Zhi be killed?


    In terms of guilt, even if Wang Zhi had ten heads, it would not be enough to cut off. Violating the sea ban, smuggling, self-reliance as king, burning, killing and looting


    But under the circumstances at that time, from the perspective of interests, Wang Zhi should not be killed.


    Before his death, Wang Zhi said: if I die alone, I''m afraid I will suffer the people of Zhejiang Province. Although he said this not to sympathize with the people, but to keep himself alive, he was right. After Wang Zhi''s death, the Japanese pirates originally under his unified control had no leaders, and the "Heroes" rose together. Soon, "the new Japanese came back to power", and Fujian and Guangzhou became the hardest hit areas for the Japanese pirates.


    Therefore, after Wang Zhi''s death, it was said that if Wang Zhi''s life was left to control the Japanese pirates at sea, the imperial court would not need to spend a huge military force on the southeast coast, but might get a powerful navy.


    It was also analyzed that there were deep reasons for killing Wang Zhi. In the Ming Dynasty, those literati and bureaucrats who were born in the south of the Yangtze River and colluded with smugglers and pirates did not necessarily want to see a strong navy in the hands of the emperor, so they echoed Wang bengu''s words and urged Wang Zhi to be executed. This is the essence of "fierce discussion between the government and the public".


    Emperor Jiajing was not stupid, but he believed in Taoism and had no intention of ruling. For a moment, he was blinded by Wang bengu''s seemingly righteous memorial of guilt, which killed Wang Zhi. After the reaction, he didn''t give Wang bengu a promotion


    In short, it is an indisputable fact that the execution of Wang Zhi led to the aggravation of the Japanese pirates, which can be seen by people with a clear eye.


    Xu Hai said, "even if it''s not Hu Zongxian''s intention, Wang Zhi is still dead. How do you know that I won''t become the second Wang Zhi if I accept the recruitment?"


    Wang Cuiqiao said, "so when I contacted governor Hu, I stressed that the emperor needs to issue an amnesty edict. Mingshan, the emperor''s golden words will not fool small people like us. As long as there is an amnesty edict, we will be able to return to Jiaxing''s hometown and live the rest of our life safely."


    Xu Hai sneered: "the imperial court''s pardon edict is not so easy to ask. Hu has always been wise to protect himself and is willing to bear such a big relationship?"


    Wang Cuiqiao thought, took out Hu Zongxian''s secret letter from her sleeve and handed it to Xu Hai.


    Xu Hai gave a slight pause and then flipped through the letter.


    "He wants me to kill Chen Dong Ye ma?"


    Wang Cuiqiao said, "Mingshan, this is a good opportunity. Now piracy is frequent, and governor Hu can''t bear the pressure. He should really want to recruit you, and then use your strength to help the army eliminate other pirate forces."


    If the victory of the Anti Japanese Ming army is a foregone conclusion, and there are only a few Japanese pirates left in the southeast coast, there is a great risk of accepting recruitment. Whether to kill or not is all in the mind of the imperial court.


    But now, the Anti Japanese Ming army is weak and the Japanese pirates are strong. The danger of Japanese pirates accepting recruitment is much smaller. The imperial court still needs to keep Xu Hai''s useful body to fight other Japanese pirates.


    This is Wang Cuiqiao''s idea, and I can''t say it wrong.


    Xu Hai thought of this, his face eased slightly, and paced and meditated in the room.


    Wang Cuiqiao gently exhorted her to miss her hometown, return to her roots, kill ominously, hurt Tianhe and so on.


    Finally, Xu Hai took a long breath: "OK, I promise you. I will catch Chen Dong and ye Ma at the Golden Gate Island rally!"


    Wang Cuiqiao said happily, "Mingshan is willing to accept Zhaoan?"


    Xu Hai shook his head: "whether to recruit or not is still between my permission and my permission! However, I will eliminate Chen Dong and ye ma. If I kill them and annex their troops, my momentum will be even greater. It''s not much worse than Wang Wufeng in those years!"


    Xu Hai said with a proud smile on his face: "even if I accept the recruitment at that time, I will have more capital to negotiate with the imperial court!" he didn''t say a word. As long as he has strong power, he will occupy a good port in Japan, learn from Wang Zhi, seal the king and control all kinds of pirates. Wouldn''t he be dignified and happy?


    Wang Cuiqiao was overjoyed to hear Xu Hai''s words about accepting the invitation.


    ……


    Jinmen island is located in the southwest of Quanzhou Prefecture. Among the numerous islands and reefs along the southeast coast, it can be regarded as a relatively large island. According to the unit of earth level, it has 150 square kilometers.


    On this day, the three Japanese camps that swept the four directions gathered on Jinmen island. Apparently, it was a green forest party initiated by the Japanese Chen Dong. In fact, it was a mediation and explanation of the recent conflict between Ye Mazi and Xu Hai.


    The three families have a total of hundreds of warships and nearly 10000 Japanese pirates, all concentrated in Jinmen Bay. Most of the Japanese pirates stayed on the ship, and the head of the family led some of his followers to set up a banquet on an earth mountain.


    The banquets of the Japanese pirates are certainly not as elegant as those of dignitaries. In fact, most of the heads of the three "fake Japanese" are reckless people who came from the market. Where do you know those red tape? Big bowls of wine, big pieces of meat, and some female slaves who were caught singing and dancing to cheer them up, no matter whether they danced well or not, in short, such a thing is enough.


    After a dance, a white and thin Japanese pirate leader with a moustache stood up, raised a big bowl and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, thank brother ye and brother Xu for giving me this thin noodles. We eat this bowl of rice and do the business of licking blood at the edge of a knife. Haven''t we seen each other for many years? It''s a rare chance to meet this time, and the next party doesn''t know it''s monkey years and horse months. Everyone open up and drink. If anyone doesn''t get drunk, he won''t give me Chen Dong face! Drink!"


    As soon as Chen Dong, the peacemaker of this time, finished speaking, a funny cheering voice sounded behind him.


    Not far away, a Japanese leader with pockmarks on his face stood up. He was Ye Ma, the Japanese leader opposed to Xu Hai. He said in a hoarse voice, "what Chen Da is in charge of the family is really generous and heroic. My surname Ye admires. I''ll work with Chen Da in charge of the family with this bowl of wine!" he raised his neck and swallowed a bowl of strong wine into his stomach.


    Many people''s eyes turned to the last group of pirates, to be exact, to Xu Hai, the leader of the pirates.
