Chapter 68: Let the court see our power

The same world is completely different, or even completely opposite, in the eyes of different people.

Zhou Mengchen's view of the Ming bureaucrats was that everyone was smart. Even if there were problems of this and that, his IQ was definitely enough, and he was even accidentally injured.

Zhou Mengchen’s view is right?

Yes, Zhou Mengchen's contact with most of the Ming officials was in line with Zhou Mengchen's judgment.

But, not right.

Because Zhou Mengchen forgot a fact, that is, the Ming bureaucrats that Zhou Mengchen came into contact with were actually a small group of elites in the Ming court, and most of the officials did not look like this.

These coastal pirates have seen bureaucrats, and the biggest one is the magistrate. Most of them cannot see magistrates at all. However, in the eyes of pirates, these people are stupid and greedy. They are so in line with the personality Wang Zhi established for Zhou Mengchen.

So when Wang Zhi said this, everyone below believed it.

Wang Zhi coughed softly again.

The crowd that was originally noisy suddenly became quiet. Wang stood up and said, "I am Wang, I am sorry to everyone here. I am Wang, who is wrong in discussing peace."

"Please forgive me, brothers."

Under Wang Zhi, there have always been pro-war factions. These people do not like Wang Zhi's idea of ​​negotiating with the court. As for whether they have any complete political ideas, they naturally do not. They have nothing to do with it. They have heard of the storytelling of Water Margin and think that surrender will not end well.

Some people also felt that seeing other pirates plundering on the shore, eating delicious food and drinking spicy food, playing with the little lady, they were extremely envious and had no long-term considerations. If they hadn't been suppressed by Wang Zhi, these people would have been plundering on the shore long ago.

Now Wang Zhi has changed his original intention. Although Wang Zhi still looks down on these brainless people, there is a series of wars to fight next. As the forward, Wang Zhi naturally has to give him a good look.

Sure enough, when these people saw Wang Zhi giving face, they all said, "What does the ship owner say? You are also thinking about your brothers."

"You are welcome to be polite."

Such words and so on.

Wang said directly: "Actually, I have just reflected on it. Zhou Mengchen and others are willing to die without seeing the Yellow River, and they will not shed tears without seeing the coffin. He thought that the coastal situation was full of loopholes, and could it stop us?"

"If Zhou Mengchen wants to bow his head, he must first defeat Zhou Mengchen."

"The reason why Zhou Mengchen dared to neglect us so much is actually my fault. I gave them too much face and made them think that we would have no other way to go except this path."

"Today, I'll give the court some colors."

"It should have been like this long ago." A pirate said. For a moment, the pirates below were excited and said, "Ship owner, we will fight whatever you say?"

"Yes, you can fight as you say?" For a moment, countless pirates pressed their hands on the weapons, and they all seemed to rush out to chop people.

Wang Zhi looked at the Japanese ronin he took in, one by one, and then looked at these Chinese pirates. It seemed like a group of demons dancing, which made Wang Zhi a little helpless and at the same time he could do nothing.

After all, Wang Zhi knew very well who was his foundation and these pirates.

These pirates were also merchants. They were familiar with many sailings from the South China Sea to Japan. Most of the ships belonged to Wang Zhi, but Wang Zhi also had to control the ships through these people. Wang Zhi's roots were still at sea.

And these pirates are the absolute main force of Wang Zhi's control over maritime routes.

The Japanese ronin taken in by Wang Zhi is essentially a thug, and it is not a thug at sea, but a thug on land. The reason is very simple. For a long time, the Japanese have infinite naval combat capabilities equal to zero.

For example, in the Battle of Wanli Aid to Korea, all the Korean troops were about to collapse in front of the Japanese army, but Li Shunchen's navy exerted great strength in the battle against Japan.

It is true that Lee Sun-sin is very capable, but it also shows that the Japanese navy's ability was very weak. At that time, Japan was already a unified Japan, not to mention that now, Japan is completely divided.

It is naturally impossible for the split Japan to build a powerful navy force.

So many Japanese ronin are actually not familiar with sea combat, and they still have some achievements in hand-to-hand combat at sea, but the problem is that hand-to-hand combat at sea often does not work.

Wang Zhi's troops have a label, that is, they are good at using firearms.

Among Japanese historical materials, it is even more said that the firearm was from Wang Zhi to Japan from the Nanyang Dynasty. You can also see the naval battle style of Wang Zhi's troops.

These obedient Japanese ronin are actually just fighting for some mercenaries or thugs on land or islands, and they are useless at all.

Wang Zhi laid his hand again and said, "How to fight in detail? You will have to go back to know. Send the order, and each ship prepares and cleans up the goods. This time, we will first gain a foothold in Zhoushan, and then discuss how to fight in detail?"

"Yes." Everyone agreed.

If Wang Zhi doesn't move, he will move like thunder. At this moment, Wang Zhi made up his mind to fight a way out in the dead of death. Either he would change his course, or Wang Zhi would have the material resources to determine his position on the sea and force the Ming Dynasty to admit this.

If neither can be done, it's just a death.

Nowadays, even if you are not a desperate, you will not go into the market. Wang Zhi is even more a desperate among desperate. At the critical moment, he is not stingy with putting his life on the gambling table.

When Hu Zongxian surrendered Wang Zhi and asked Wang Zhi to leave the fleet and go ashore alone, it was not a game of life-gambling. If it could be successful, it would naturally be that Wang Zhi's group would be able to see the bright moon.

Unfortunately, Wang Zhi lost the bet at that time.

At this moment, Wang Zhi didn't know if this gambling could succeed.

However, at the order of Wang Zhi, all the ships and everyone in the Wang Zhi fleet entered the progressive preparation activities. This was the most powerful offensive launched by Wang Zhi since the sea. You must know that when Wang Zhi was rampant on the sea, Wang Zhi did not invade the shore much at all. Many times he did it by the way. Wang Zhi has always been the first in business, and fighting and killing is the second.

But this time, Wang Zhi is the first in fighting and killing, and has no business to do.

However, a military operation is not a joke. I don’t know how many preparations are. Wang Zhi couldn’t leave for a while. However, Wang Zhi immediately left the Five Islands and went to see Otomo Sorin.

In Otomo Solin's opinion, what kind of person is Wang Zhi? He is a partner, a foreign name, or another identity. However, Wang Zhi has a foothold in the Five Islands and is supported by Otomo Solin. Without Otomo Solin's support, Wang Zhi would not have been so easy to build a piece of land in a foreign country.

Therefore, if Wang Zhi had a huge military operation this time, he could not help but say hello to Otomo Sorin and obtain Otomo Sorin's permission. After walking around, I don't know how Wang Zhi told Otomo Sorin. In short, Otomo Sorin acquiesced Wang Zhi's actions, just like the Japanese pirates before. At the same time, he also acquiesced to Wang Zhi's purchase of some war-related items in Japan, such as sulfur.

At the same time, several so-called Japanese ronin joined Wang Zhi's ranks, including the sect family on Tsushima Island, which also participated, making Wang Zhi's army stronger.

In history, after Hu Zongxian lured and killed Wang Zhi, the Wang Zhi group fell apart and had no leader, which caused great trouble to the Ming court, especially Fujian. It was not until the thirty-eight years or forty years that it was over, but it was not the end.

Now that Wang Zhi integrates the whole country and makes progress, he will face an unprecedented wave of Japanese pirates in the 36th year of Jiajing. This is also triggered by Zhou Mengchen.

If you win, you can defeat the main force of the Japanese pirates in one fell swoop, putting the Japanese tragedy for several years to a close. There may be some final battles, but it is nothing. If you lose, Zhou Mengchen will face unanimous accusations from the government and the people, and Zhou Mengchen's undefeated golden body will be broken. I don't know what the situation will be.

It can be said to be extremely dangerous.
