Wei Zhongxian calmed down.

Then he looked at Emperor Apocalypse, and it was time to show his talent.

"Bai Batian, this thief..."

"No need to call a thief." Emperor Tianqi said lightly: "Since I plan to recruit and appease the thief, I don't plan to treat the thief for the time being. I posted the imperial list for so long, it's just this Beibatian who came to contact us. It's rare that there is such a person who is still regarded as a thief. How could other pirates be willing to rely on it?"

As he said that, he continued to say with great regret: "If you don't recruit pirates, there will be no one or ships, and there will be no one or ships. How can you make a profit? Without profit, how can you raise stocks? If I say this, you don't understand, so you can continue to talk about it."

So Wei Zhongxian stopped talking nonsense and said, "Bei Batian is a giant gangster in the sea. Although he is not as good as Wang Zhi, in the Beihai area, everyone is afraid to talk about it. This person is cruel and easy to kill. He has countless blood stains in his hands. There are countless people who depend on him. According to the calculations of slaves, I dare not say too much, but there are at least two or three thousand people. These two or three thousand people follow him and raid the other side's ships. Whenever they encounter ships, they often slaughter the other's ships."

When Emperor Aoki heard this, he immediately took a breath of cold air.

Good guy, these pirates are really cruel.

Wei Zhongxian said again: "Sometimes, some pirates along the coast secretly landed and were finally captured by the government, especially the southeast coast. They mentioned the Beibatian, and they all said that he killed people like a scattered person! No matter whether they are good, as long as people fall into his hands, there will be no one who will not be killed. Moreover, this person is extremely cunning and the most stubborn, Your Majesty... In fact, I think that if the Zheng family in the East China Sea is willing to talk about it, this is the best. Zheng's nest is mainly in the area of ​​the Japanese island. Although it is also robbed, it is mainly smuggled ships. At least they can reason with others, but the Beibatian in the North China Sea is different."

Emperor Tianqi frowned and couldn't help but say, "In this way, if I talk to such a person, would it be a fire to get the chestnut?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "This person is capricious and well-known in the vast ocean. Especially those Japanese pirates who were captured, as long as they ask about things in the sea, no one would say good things about him. I want to come... to recruit such people is like a scam with a tiger."

This is the truth. Wei Zhongxian has indeed done his homework.

Emperor Tianqi walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking depressed, and said, "I am anxious to need ships and manpower now. If this person can gallop on the sea, it would be best if he can use it for me. But, in your opinion, this person is so cruel that I have some doubts. Is Zheng's reputation very good?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "Zheng is a private businessman and does not focus on robbery. However, I think that if Your Majesty carries out shipments, it will infringe on their interests, so naturally he will not come to negotiate with Your Majesty."

Emperor Tianqi sighed: "In this way, if you don't recruit Zheng, you can only make a fuss about this Bei Batian."

"You must be careful when negotiating with people like Bei Batian." Wei Zhongxian said: "A person like this has no faith and no righteousness, and he kills people all over the world, but he needs to be careful about the dike."

Emperor Tianqi asked again: "Is this person a Han person?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "This is unknown, maybe it is."

"I can't even find this?"

Wei Zhongxian said truthfully: "These thieves are doing business of licking blood on their heads. After going into the sea, they change their faces and break up without mentioning their past affairs, so that their tribe members will not be implicated and the Tiqi cannot find out."

Emperor Tianqi did not blame Wei Zhongxian, he could understand.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian said again: "But I think this person must be a Han person."

"How can I see it?"

"There are two types of pirates. One is that the whole family has moved overseas, such as the Zheng family in the East China Sea and the Li family in the South China Sea. Their families are young and have settled in the Japanese island or Luzon (Philippines), so they are not afraid of revealing their identities. There is another type that always expresses their own name, which proves that this person is very taboo about this. They must have relatives and are still in the mainland."

Emperor Tianqi held his chin and said, "I understand. It seems that you have done some homework. So, should I talk about it?"

Emperor Apocalypse seemed very hesitant.

Wei Zhongxian looked at Emperor Tianqi, but said silently in his heart, how do we know whether to talk? Isn’t this the decision of His Majesty? Why do you feel like you are testing us?

So he smiled and said, "It depends on what Your Majesty said. Your Majesty's decision is always wise."

Emperor Tianqi seemed to have made a decision at this time, so he turned the railway line: "Then let's talk, I can't wait any longer. Have you heard of the century-old navy?"

Wei Zhongxian shook his head.

Emperor Tianqi said: "I didn't understand before. This is what Zhang Qing said. Will I have ships and personnel after a hundred years? If my Ming Dynasty did not have East India Company, I would give up all the blue waves in thousands of miles! The huge profits in the sea are acceptable to the people of Folang Ji, Japanese pirates, and private businessmen, why can't I get it?"

After saying that, he changed the subject and said, "Have Zhang Qing arrived?"

Wei Zhongxian's heart was sour and envious.

It seems that Zhang Jingyi is becoming more and more important in His Majesty’s heart!

After more than half an hour, Zhang Jingyi arrived late.

After seeing the etiquette in Emperor Tianqi, Emperor Tianqi talked about the matter of Bei Batian to Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jingyi said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty."

Emperor Tianqi complained a little, "Congratulations! It's all because of the uselessness of partner Wei. I thought those pirates would come to serve one after another, but who knew that there was only one Bei Batian."

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but cough. This nickname is a bit of a second-rate.

Emperor Apocalypse said: "What do you think?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "It's very simple, four words, standing wood is trustworthy!"

After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi understood it all at once, and immediately became happy again, saying, "Zhang Qing is really far-sighted and established wood as a trustworthy... If even such a pirate cannot be comforted, then how could other pirates believe in the sincerity of the court? If there is no credit, the East India Company will not be able to do it! I have already thought about it and have to talk to it no matter what. After thinking about it, there are not many people who can talk to this pirate. Wei's partner has a bad reputation, so I can see that it is definitely not suitable for him to go, but if it is someone else, it is too late to object, so how can he still be willing to talk to it according to the order?"

"After thinking about it, there is only Zhang Qing. Zhang Qing, you need to go to Tianjin Wei, meet the pirate, and then do it cheaply."

Of course, Zhang Jingyi knew this result. The current Emperor of Apocalypse is already intoxicated by interests! Very good, Zhang Jingyi was afraid that Emperor of Apocalypse would not be greedy.

It is necessary to know that all earth-shaking changes are nothing more than two forces, either by the idea that even if millions of people are gone, or by the interests.

It is impossible to expect Emperor Aoki to have the enlightenment of the former.

But it’s not bad to have the latter. Now the European monarchs have set up East India companies and are striving to build ships. Isn’t it also a matter of interest to be concerned about?

So Zhang Jing said, "I will definitely not let Your Majesty down."

"It's just that Bei Batian is cruel. Zhang Qing is in Tianjin. He must not be encouraged by the other party. He should talk about it. He can also take out sincerity, but he must be careful."

Zhang Jingyi said, "Yes. Yes, I am not very good after all. Since I am the official envoy of the imperial destiny, I still need a deputy envoy."

"Deputy Envoy?" Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhang Jingyi in surprise: "Who is the best person?"

Zhang Jingyi said, "Zhang Guangqian, the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel, is very talented, very strategic and eloquent. If he is willing to be the deputy, the minister will go to Tianjin Guards and I will be relieved."

Emperor Tianqi glanced at Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian had no expression on his face and did not respond.

Emperor Tianqi said, "Okay, that's it. I will issue an order. You should clean up quickly and make a move soon."

Zhang Jingyi bowed: "Abide by the order."

...

This errand was actually just a preliminary negotiation, so to some extent, it was more of a tourism nature.

Of course, this has actually caused a huge uproar in the capital. All officials have doubts about His Majesty's determination to recruit pirates, and there are countless people who use this to criticize them.

Unfortunately, Emperor Tianqi is a turtle who eats weights this time, and he is determined!

Whoever stops me from getting rich will kill anyone.

He also ordered Wei Zhongxian to send cavalry to monitor the actions of all officials. This moment... his attitude was self-evident.

There is one thing that the officials of the Ming Dynasty are good, that is, there is no danger. They can curse, and can speak out for three days and three nights without stopping.

Only everyone realized that something was wrong. Although they were sarcastic, they did not dare to be so intense.

Those who die from a court stick often take off their bodies.

Zhang Jingyi then set off and rushed to Tianjin.

He brought some entourages, Wang Cheng led a dozen Jinyiwei cavalry and the third teaching team, and also set off on orders and drew forty or fifty people.

In addition, there were a hundred other people, and they brought the imperial edict and brought the Guangqian together.

Zhang Guangqian heard that he was going to negotiate with the pirates, which was like a bolt from the blue.

Who is he? He is a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel and his status is extremely valuable. What should I talk to the pirate? Not to mention these people, even if he says a word to the other party, it will ruin his reputation.

But when the imperial edict came out, he didn't give him time to react, and then he was carried away by the Jinyiwei. He was like a big girl getting into a sedan chair and shouted to death, but he was helpless.

I was nervous all the way, and in a blink of an eye, it was already Tianjin Wei.

Tianjin Wei is actually facing a great enemy.

The local Jinyiwei Qianhu, the guards of Tianjinwei, and the eunuchs in charge came to welcome Zhang Jingyi.

But the local local official did not come.

Zhang Jingyi is the identity of an imperial envoy and a celebrity around His Majesty. Logically speaking, the status of these three people is not inferior to Zhang Jingyi.

However, these three people were respectful, which made Zhang Jingyi feel a little happy to go to the countryside to guide his work.
