Chapter 152 Xie Zhang's Dispute
Chapter 152
Xie Bin actually wanted to join Zhou Mengchen. He had a channel. After all, he was a Jinshi and was in the same year as Wang Zongmu. I don’t know how many such a roundabout relationship were. However, he would definitely talk to Zhang Wei after all.
In short, good fortune is hard to give up.
Xie Bin still hopes to convince Zhang Wei and others to surrender together. He Xie is behind his back and does not show up. As long as the Ming Dynasty wants to rule Yuegang, it must rely on the local gentry. Then who is the local gentry must be the Xie family.
In this way, the Xie family was transformed and turned white. It had nothing to do with the previous events.
As for what happened after Zhang Wei and others surrendered? Xie Bin didn't care.
Xie Bin also had this idea in mind and wanted to convince Zhang Wei.
However, Zhang Wei and Xie Bin are simply incompatible. Although Xie Bin also grew up in Yuegang, he went on the imperial examination and became an official and resisted Yan Song. After this series of processes, Xie Bin has become a member of the Ming Dynasty. He identified with the Ming Dynasty psychologically and the Ming court. He even believed that Zhou Mengchen did the right thing.
However, it was his family who opposed the imperial court, which forced him to take sides. He also solved this problem as much as possible. The direction he solved was to resolve the conflicts between the family and the country. However, Zhang Wei was completely different.
What kind of person is Zhang Wei? His experience is somewhat similar to that of Wang Zhi, but the difference is that there is a Hui merchant behind Wang Zhi. Even before Wang ran away, he was actually in contact with Hui merchants. It was just because of the change in his identity and status. Although he had cut off the contact, he had always had a tacit understanding in secret. This is also why Wang Zhi was buried back to his hometown after his death, and his tomb was still maintained by his hometown.
But Zhang Wei is different.
Zhang is a big surname, but there are not many prominent Zhang family members. Zhang Wei later changed this name. As for what he was named before, it is no longer possible. In short, Zhang Wei started his business and experienced countless turmoils to create a great foundation. Finally, he returned to Yuegang to live and gradually became the person who talked about Yuegang. Zhang Wei did it step by step.
He was in it and didn't know how many conflicts he had with the government and the gentry.
He did not believe in the credit of the court. Similarly, he had seen the strong winds and waves outside. He had seen the Southeast and the East, so he would not limit his thinking to Yuegang or the Ming Dynasty. If it really didn't work, he would set sail and go to Southeast Asia to make a living.
This was not the same choice as Wang Zhi and Zhang Wei, but a trend. From the beginning of the Japanese riots to the late Qing Dynasty, China's immigration to Southeast Asia was underway, and Fujianese played an important role in it.
Wang Zhi and Zhang Wei are just following this trend.
Zhang Wei has this way of retreat, so he is naturally tough in his heart. Although he is not very sure whether Yuegang can be saved. However, he will not lose. As long as he keeps his strength, he will not be able to stay here. Therefore, he is willing to let him give Zhou Mengchen some benefits so that he can protect Yuegang. However, he must have Zhang Wei surrender to Zhou Mengchen and hand over Yuegang, and even become a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty.
That's not even thought about it.
The two sides' thoughts are completely different. So when they meet, Mars hits the Earth.
Xie Bin believed that Zhang Wei was born with a thief and was unruly and did not know what the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues were. He was even more arrogant and did not know how to restrain himself. He would die long ago without a place to bury him.
Zhang Wei felt that Xie Bin seemed to be a man, but in fact he was just a woman, a petty and frivolous person. Although he had many plans, it was completely useless. Before Zhou Mengchen could send troops, he scared his courage.
As for how the two sides communicate in detail, I don’t need to explain in detail here.
Anyway, two people who were just polite at the beginning would greet each other and deal with the 18th generation of ancestors later. Please add Minnan to the Minnan language to better understand the emotions and collisions between the two parties.
"Bang." Xie Bin slammed the door and walked away, saying, "I see what methods you, Chief Zhang, have?"
Hong Dizhen immediately gave Xu Xichi a wink and asked Xu Xichi to chase after him. Hong Dizhen immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother, don't be angry. The surname Xie and we have never been the same person. Everyone knows it. However, you don't think that behind this surname Xie, there are local local tyrants and thousands of strong men. If we don't appease him, wouldn't it be a big deal if he surrenders to the court?"
Zhang Wei sneered, "No. Xie Bin cherishes his innocent reputation so that he will not be involved in the Yuegang affairs. He will not surrender voluntarily. What he wants is that the Xie family has no trace of this matter. So he will not resist the official army. When the official army arrives at the Xie family, he will suddenly realize that there are bandits gathering in Yuegang, so he sent troops to help the court. He didn't know anything before."
"However, the court cannot be allowed to come here yet. You can bring people to guard the checkpoints and don't let the official army come here. I think these people who are pieced together will not work hard to attack at all. It's just a gesture."
Hong Dizhen nodded and said, "I'll do it now." He wanted to get up, but he paused slightly and said, "Brother, I'm going to the checkpoint to be stationed. What do you think about the situation in Yuegang? Can you give me a clear space?"
Zhang Wei calmed down and said, "Okay, the situation in Yuegang depends on Wu Ping. Wu Ping has sent me a letter to let me participate in the grand ceremony. I did not agree. If Wu Ping could defeat the official army, with Wu Ping there, the court would not have the energy to take care of us. We could still maintain our previous appearance."
"What if Wu Ping can't hold on?" Hong Dizhen said.
Zhang Wei said: "The cunning rabbit has three nests, so I naturally have many places to prepare, but it is not as good as Yuegang. But it really doesn't work, so I can only avoid it. I don't believe that Zhou Mengchen can stay in Fujian forever. It's not too late to make a fool of himself after he gets over the limelight."
Speaking of this, Zhang Wei looked at this house and felt a little nostalgic.
There was a trace of complex feelings in Hong Dizhen's eyes. He just forced himself to press it down, so he naturally did not want to leave Yuegang. The reason was very simple. Yuegang is a private port that has been operating for more than a hundred years. Although the control of Yuegang has changed hands several times within this hundred years. But overall, the overall atmosphere and supporting facilities of Yuegang are actually very good, not much different from the county town of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Wei’s other private ports have different cunning rabbit nests.
Hong Dizhen is also an old man who follows Zhang Wei. Although it cannot be said that he knows all Zhang Wei's private ports well, he knows that he is far inferior to here. Whether it is geographical conditions or production and living materials, he hangs alone on the sea, and there is no supply of various materials, lacks salt and rice, and has a lot of money but cannot be spent. Hong Dizhen has lived.
I wouldn't think that pirates can laugh at the sea and pursue One Piece's treasures freely? Without supplies or insufficient supplies, the pain of sailing can be described by words.
Hong Dizhen doesn't want to live such a life.
Zhang Wei gave his deputy tasks here, and Xu Xichi was also persuading Xie Bin, saying, "Mr. Xie, calm down, calm down, General Zhang, you are such a person. It's not the first day that you know. Please be full of Yuegang prosperity, and your Xie family is also a bit. You don't want to see Yuegang destroyed. Please calm down, what can't you talk about?"
Xie Bin had already made up his mind. He had a lot of murderous intent in his eyes. However, he had been in the court and had no expression of joy and anger. It was very simple for him. He thought to himself: "Zhang Wei cannot stay anymore. If he stays, it will be a disaster. But how should he kill Zhang Wei?"
The Xie family united with other families, and although it could produce thousands of strong men, it looked like the same thing, Xie Bin knew that these thousands of people had fought pirates. On the one hand, these strong men did not have much time to train, and on the other hand, these strong men Xie Bin could not afford to die.
