Chapter 159 The Change of Yuegang

Xu Xichi returned to Yuegang overnight and told Zhang Wei about the situation in South Australia.

Zhang Wei's information channels were also well-versed, and when Xu Xichi told him, he already knew it.

Zhang Wei looked a little ugly and said, "I understand."

Xu Xichi said: "Brother is like this. Should I do it-----?"

Zhang Wei sighed and said, "I understand. It's getting late today. I'm anxious for you brothers to discuss it. I will give you some explanations."

Xu Xichi was slightly at ease. He sincerely hoped that Zhang Wei could change his mind. With this last glimmer of hope, Xu Xichi attended the second day's meeting.

Zhang Wei gathered the twenty-four generals of Yuegang together and said, "Just just got the news that Wu Ping was dead and Nan'ao was captured. I think our Yuegang won't be able to support him for a long time. However, I have made preparations. Wu Ping has some arrangements overseas, and now it's cheaper for us. I have sent someone to recruit Wu Ping in Penghu and the people from Wugang. Wanggang Lin Feng has some friendship with me. And wherever we go, Lin Feng can't help him at night."

So Zhang Wei talked endlessly about his transition overseas, and now he settled in Wugang, and then depends on the situation. If the limelight has passed, he can still come back. If it really doesn't work, then go abroad or even somewhere, and there is already a scope.

Where is Wugang? It is a port in Taichung. You should know that Taiwan’s rivers are severely silted, and the famous Luermen that was once silted into flat land. The so-called Wugang lost the excellent conditions as a port in the future and disappeared into history. Historians can only be encircled in the Taichung area. The specific place must be archaeological excavation. However, it should be a village or town in later generations.

Today, Wanggang is a place where Han people gather in Taiwan. Lin Feng is also a famous pirate leader. Wanggang is prospering little by little under Lin Feng's hands. At this moment, there is still a gap between Lin Feng's era. Lin Feng is only a small leader under Wu Ping's command. Wanggang is not yet at the level of tens of thousands of people. It is completely fine for Zhang Wei to annex the Lin Feng tribe of Wugang in the past.

It is Nanyang, because Nanyang is a completely different state from the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, it was only pacified by the court. However, in Nanyang, if it could raise 100,000 people, it could be called a widow.

Zhang Wei also knew that if he did this, he would definitely lose many tribes. It is estimated that he would not even have ten thousand people under his command when he went to Nanyang. But even if there were ten thousand people, it would be enough for Zhang Wei to be a hero in Nanyang.

Moreover, Zhang Wei believes that he can survive the trough and make a comeback from now on.

Zhang Wei was very excited, but he didn't notice it. After crossing the twenty-four generals, several of them had disappointment in their eyes.

Not everyone is willing to give up their current foundation, go to an unknown place, and take the path of entrepreneurship again. Not to mention, in the eyes of the Ming people, the Ming Dynasty is a chosen place, the most civilized and prosperous place on the entire earth. It would be fine to make money outside. Now that we go, we have to build a foundation outside and not come back. Isn’t this going to give up civilized people and become a barbarian?

Even the land of our ancestors has given up. Many people feel disgusted from the bottom of their hearts.

But after Zhang Wei finished speaking, he looked at the others in Yuegang and said, "What do you think?"

Xu Xichi said: "What my brother said is really a perfect solution. I have no idea, so I will do it as my brother said."

When Xu Xichi spoke, the rest of the people agreed.

Zhang Wei said: "Okay, when you come to Nanyang in the future, you will be rewarded with all your brothers, and you will share life, death, wealth and honor. Let's prepare now. Mr. Zhou has not left me much time."

In this way, this successful conference ends.

At noon that day.

In a small courtyard in Yuegang, Xie Bin sat on the upper head, while Hong Dizhen, Xu Xichi and more than a dozen people were sitting on both sides. These more than a dozen people attended the morning meeting.

Xie Bin savored the tea meaningfully and said, "How is it, I said. Zhang Wei is a stone in the pit, smelly and hard. Now, what are you dreaming about Spring and Autumn? Wu Ping's strength is not stronger than him, but what will happen to Wu Ping? He has only been in a different position for more than a month. Zhou Mengchen is the first general of this dynasty. He can kill the Mongolian Khan and destroy the Mongolian family. His martial arts are so powerful that he will not be inferior to Xu Chang. So what if he escapes to Nanyang? Chen Zuyi and others have not escaped. What if he ends up? No need to say it. Have you made up your mind yet?"

Chen Zuyi was a pirate from the Chengzu Dynasty and was one of the few combat operations that Zheng He had voyages to the West. He was captured in Chen Zuyi in the old port and sent a letter to the capital.

Speaking of which, Chen Zuyi's power was much stronger than Zhang Wei and others back then. It is said that Chen Zuyi was the remnant of Fang Guozhen. He could not defeat the Ming army on land, so he went into the sea. In essence, he was much stronger than these pirates.

Hong Dizhen sighed and said, "Can you use other means?"

Xie Bin said: "Can you, don't you know?"

Another silence.

Indeed, Zhang Wei's interests are completely different from those of these people. Zhang Wei regarded himself as the lord of Yuegang, so he would rather flee overseas than accept Zhou Mengchen's conditions. The reason is very simple. Zhou Mengchen's various conditions are actually one of the most important points, that is, to complete control of the interests chain of maritime trade. Even if it cannot achieve complete control, at least complete monitoring will be achieved. Under the eyes of the court, people like Zhang Wei, who fight from below with one sword and one shot, are born with a heroic spirit. They have lost their autonomy and work under the framework of the court, which makes them absolutely unacceptable.

Now Zhang Wei is the lord of one side. If you accept Zhou Mengchen's conditions, Zhang Wei is the fish in the net, and it is the fish that can be killed whenever you want. Zhang Wei can play with the routine of fighting for power at sea, but Zhang Wei cannot play with the court's rules and is unwilling to bow his head.

And others don't think so.

For example, Hong Dizhen is also the second largest leader in Yuegang after Zhang Wei, and has thousands of people under his command. But so what? He is under Zhang Wei. Even if he goes to Nanyang, his status may not improve. He even encounters something. He is easily suspicious of Zhang Wei.

It would be different if he surrendered to the court. He didn't have many ideas, but simply felt that even if he was a thief, he would be a thief for his whole life, and he would be a thief for generations. After surrendering to the official army, he would be a human being with his tail in this life, working hard to cultivate the next generation. When the next generation stands out, his Hong family will become a family of officials.

As for money, Hong Dizhen doesn't care. He has been wandering on the sea for more than ten years, so how can he not have hundreds of thousands of taels on hand? To a certain extent, he is richer than Zhang Wei. After all, Zhang Wei has a big stall to take care of, but Hong Dizhen doesn't have it.

In this way, the big cakes Zhang Wei painted for him were not attractive at all.

Seeing this, Xu Xichi said, "Why don't we take action tomorrow?"

"If you want to do it," Xie Bin said, "The faster the better. Don't blame me for reminding you every day. Yuegang is so crowded that many things cannot be completely hidden from others. Also, Nan'ao has been defeated. Where is Yu Dayou's navy now?"

"Aren't you in South Australia?" said a man.

Xie Bin said with a meaningful smile: "Are you sure?"

Once this statement is said, no one can be sure. This is the speed of information transmission these days. Most people receive the latest news, which may be second-hand news, outdated news. Many things rely on speculation.

"Mr. Xie, do you have the latest news?" asked Hong Dizhen.

"No." Xie Bin said: "It is obvious that Yu Dayou is coming to Yuegang, but it is only a matter of time sooner or later. Therefore, if you want to do big things, the faster the better. The longer the night, the more dreams, the later it will change." Then Xie Bin raised his teacup and drank it all, then got up and left.

Xu Xichi said: "Mr. Xie, are you leaving?"

Xie Bin did not look back and said, "It should be. I have already said that there is not much left for me. It depends on yours. It is meaningless to stay here. I will say goodbye." Then he left here, leaving such a group of people looking at each other in a glance.
