Peach and plum spring breeze and a glass of wine

Mingjiao is a rebel family inherited from their ancestors.

The rebel equipment is very complete, such as staff officers, scouts, and grain transportation officers.

Of course, these configurations are definitely not called by these names in the Mingjiao. For example, the staff is called Bai Zhifan, the scout is called Straw Sandals... but the functions are very clear and the business is very skilled.

After Yang Ge got started, he carried out precise surgical operations on the Japanese Ronin who had landed based on the intelligence collected by Gu Tong.

The process was lackluster. The Japanese who first landed on the southeast coast were just a bunch of scattered sand. They ranged from three to five hundred to thirty or fifty people. They looted aimlessly among some counties and villages along the coast. They didn't even dare to attack counties with slightly larger numbers. bump.

After having accurate information, Yang Ge tidied up these rabble and didn't want to be too simple.

There are fifty Japanese Lang people, and the Mingjiao has two hundred troops.

There are one hundred Japanese Lang people, and five hundred people from Mingjiao.

There were 200 Japanese Ronin, and Yang Ge or Yang Tiansheng personally led the troops.

In short, with absolute overflowing power, chop him into minced meat with one blow, without giving him the slightest chance to make a comeback!

During this process, Yang Ge also mobilized people from the Ming Cult to supplement and improve the intelligence collection system, including King Ning's three Ninghai guards, Jiangsu and Zhejiang men, Jiangsu and Zhejiang naval forces, and some officials and gentry with great influence in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Monitor the system to prevent them from cooperating inside and outside...

With this move, Er Yang killed hundreds of people along the coast!

Not only did he kill the Japanese Ronin, but Er Yang also killed those wealthy officials and gentry who were controlled by the Zhejiang Party, colluded with the Japanese pirates, and provided food and accommodation for the Japanese Ronin!

Not only did they kill people, they also summoned local villagers to reveal their crimes, and then burned down their ancestral halls!

In just five or six days, more than 2,000 Dongying Rongrants who landed early were killed by Er Yang. The rest either fled into the mountains and lived in fear all day long, or escaped on small sampans while crawling. Return to the sea to feed the fish.

Of course, Er Yang neither used the banner of Mingjiao nor promoted Yang Erlang's name to the outside world.

It is only said that they are brave soldiers from surrounding villages who organized themselves to expel Japanese pirates and defend their hometown...

But secretly, the names of Yang Erlang and Mingjiao were still spread in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

No matter how Er Yang went out to explain, the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang always said: 'I understand, I understand, Er Yang's new alias! ’

Suddenly, the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was full of wontons, fish in vinegar, and steamed dumplings that “new guests must try”.

Every young man who speaks with a foreign accent can receive the greatest kindness from the people here...

In response to Yang Erlang's growing reputation, officials from Prince Ning's Mansion and the Zhejiang Party Committee thought of ways to deal with it.

Prince Ning's Mansion sent several masters to put on nine-tube masks and go out to do evil. They deliberately left Zhang Mazi's name behind and caused trouble in the Yamen!

But the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang didn’t believe it at all!

When every citizen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang hears such news, they will say without thinking: ‘Someone must be impersonating the Second Master and smearing the Second Master! ’

Officials of the Zhejiang Party used their special skills of resisting law and taxes. They distorted the facts by crying in temples and holding rallies, criticizing Yang Erlang for committing murder, corrupting the government, messing up the relationship between men and women, etc...

But their special skills also failed this time.

The people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were like watching a monkey show. They held their arms and watched their performance with tears and hoarse voices. When they were done, they smiled and said to their familiar companions: 'Look, they are in a hurry! ’

They may not be smart enough.

But they have memories. They have not forgotten the suffering of the three major grain dealers in driving up grain prices the year before last. They have not forgotten the countless corrupt officials who were executed in Yangzhou last year for their countless crimes...

They accept death!

Yang Ge is using his own way to protect the people here.

The people here also protect Yang Ge in their own way.

Many conspiracies and plots against Yang Ge were blocked by them before they could fall on Yang Ge...

As Guyu approaches, all kinds of news about the approach of the main force of Japanese pirates continue to be sent to Er Yang.

Er Yang knew that a bigger storm was coming...

…

Manpower is still stretched thin!

Yang Tiansheng raised his eyes from the map and rubbed his painful temples: Otherwise, I will go back again and see if I can ask for more reinforcements...

Yang Ge held the charcoal pen and sighed softly: Those who are willing to come have already come, and those who are unwilling to come will not come even if you go. Let's not lose face...

Yang Tiansheng was silent for a moment and said: If I can gain one more person in exchange for my face, it will be worth losing it!

Yang Ge glanced at him, pursed his lips hard, and said softly: I'd better go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang Dusi!

Yang Tiansheng frowned: They want to eat you alive, why don't you go and beg them?

Yang Ge smiled lightly and said: I can't wait to do it. If they had the courage to take action, they would have done it a long time ago... It's okay, I'm going. Whether they want to sell me face or not, they have to sell me some face. Don't you dare? If they sell, I will put the knife on their necks!

Yang Tiansheng was silent for a moment, sighed and patted Yang Ge on the shoulder.

Things are difficult.

It was more difficult than they imagined.

But no one had the slightest idea of ​​retreating.

Because in the past few days, they have seen too many villages and towns destroyed by those Japanese Rongers...

It doesn’t matter whether you say they are young or noble.

They just can't see it, they just want to do something.

Their blood is still hot...

At the right time, Wei Xin, a white paper fan, came in, clasped his fists and said, Xiang Master, Second Master, there is a man outside the door who calls himself the 'Five Peaks Captain' Wang Zhen, asking to see Second Master.

Hearing this name, Yang Ge and Yang Tiansheng looked at each other.

Yang Tiansheng picked his ears: Who did you say wanted to see Yang Laoer? Say it again!

Wei Xin was about to repeat it again when Yang Ge said in a deep voice: How many people are here?

Wei Xin turned around and replied: Just one person.

Yang Ge: Invite him in.

Wei Xin: Yes, Second Master.

He turned around and walked out quickly. Yang Tiansheng frowned and said in a deep voice: Second brother, I'm worried that the person who comes here is not good!

Yang Ge put away the map on the table and slowly sat back in the hall: He dares to come, why don't I dare to see him?

Yang Tiansheng said no more, just grabbed the cold moon sword on one side, put it in Yang Ge's hand, and then sat on the other side of the hall.

After a while, Wei Xin led someone into the hall: Master of incense, second master, Wang Zui will bring them.

Yang Tiansheng waved his hand: Go and do your work.

Wei Xin clasped his hands and resigned.

In the hall, Yang Ge said nothing and squinted his eyes, looking up and down at the person coming: bald, long beard, with scars on his face, about forty years old, tall and burly, wearing a black dress with excellent material. Dressed in a smart outfit and wearing a pair of satin boots commonly worn by officials and family members, the evil spirit is very strong...

When he was looking at the visitor, the visitor's eyes swept across the hall and then focused on Yang Ge. He saw that he was seven and a half feet tall, with a tiger's back and a wolf's waist, long hands and long legs, a stern face, and a stern look in his eyes. The divine light captured people's attention, and he sat motionless on the Grand Master's chair, but he had the calm and calm aura of a Yuan Ting Yue Zhi. He immediately cheered in his heart: What a Yang Erlang! ’

But the 'Sage Revealed True Monarch' Yang Erlang and Yang Erye are in person?

After Wei Xin retreated, the person who came took the initiative to hold his fists in a manner that was neither humble nor overbearing.

Yang Ge nodded: I am.

Visitor: A certain king, the brothers at sea, out of love, gave a certain family the nickname 'Captain of the Five Peaks'.

Yang Ge nodded slowly and said softly: I know you. I heard that you have eight thousand Japanese pirates under your command, and you are very famous at sea.

Wang Zuo: Wang is too embarrassed to bear it in front of the second master.

Yang Ge said ha and said calmly: You dare to come to see me, what else can you not dare to do?

Wang Suo's expression remained unchanged: If possible, Wang would not want to come to see the second master, but Wang has to come.

Yang Ge smiled and said, Why do you have to come?

Wang Zuo replied in a deep voice: There is a misunderstanding between Wang and the second master, so I have to come.

Misunderstand?

Yang Ge leaned on the Taishi chair and picked up the tea bowl: What misunderstanding? Is it a misunderstanding that you are the leader of the Japanese pirates? Or is it a misunderstanding that you are colluding with Geng Jingzhong? Or is it a misunderstanding that you are about to wreak havoc on the southeast coast?

Wang Sui cupped his fists and said: The Second Master Haojiao knows that although Wang was forced to go to sea and become a bandit for a living, he never plundered an inch of our Wei Dynasty's territory. What he usually relies on for a living are merchant ships from Japan and Western countries. In the previous episode, Geng Jingzhong sent someone to find a certain family, and he only threatened to put on a show to show to the court, so as to open up the door to the foreign trade of the Wei Dynasty.

Yang Ge laughed and said: So, you are still a good man who is devoted to the country?

Wang Sui straightened his chest and said loudly: I don't dare to be a son of a good family, but Wang claims that although he is not a good person, he has never violated any laws of the Wei Dynasty. When the Japanese Japanese pirates ravaged the southeastern coast of the Wei Dynasty, Wang He also assisted King Ning in quelling the Japanese invasion. I dare not claim his merits, but at least he had no faults!

Yang Ge frowned and said in a deep voice: Since you have come to see me, you should know what kind of business I am doing. You won't use such words to deceive me, right?

Wang Sui stretched out his hand and made a please gesture: If the second master doesn't believe it, just send someone to verify it. If Wang has committed a murder in our territory, the second master can arrest Wang and bring him to justice!

Yang Ge tapped the table with one hand and thought for a moment, then suddenly said: Wei Xin!

Wei Xin quickly stepped inside, cupped his fists and said, Second Master.

Yang Ge grabbed the Cold Moon sword on his side and threw it in its scabbard: Go to see my man and tell him to inform his family immediately that the series of actions against the 'Five Peaks Captain' Wang Zuo are temporarily suspended and await my follow-up notification.

Wei Xin caught the Lengyue sword with both hands: Yes, Second Master.

He held the knife and turned around and left in a hurry.

Wang Sui in the audience only felt a chill running down his back...

Previously, he heard many deeds of the Sage Revealed True King Yang Erlang, Lord Yang, and concluded that this person had even killed Geng Jingzhong, and was determined not to let him go, the leader of the Japanese invasion, so he decided to take the risk. Land and come to Hangzhou in person to meet this Yang Erlang, Mr. Yang.

I never thought... I actually came to the right place!

This Yang Erlang is really planning to attack him!

What a risk, what a risk, it will bring you huge profits and a long life!

Sit down and talk.

Yang Ge slowed down his tone and reached out to the seat on the right to make a please gesture.

Thank you, Master!

Wang Sui cupped his fists and raised his hands, but his tone was more respectful than before.

Yang Tiansheng on one side saw this and shouted: Tea.

Hearing his voice, Wang Zuo, who was sitting down, seemed to finally remember that there was someone else in the room. He smiled and clasped his fists at Yang Tiansheng and said, Wang is so rude. You are the eldest son of the Yang family in Fengyang, right? Earlier. Nian Wang and your father even drank together!

Yang Tiansheng snorted coldly, crossed his arms and turned his face to the other side.

When Wang Sui saw this, the smile on his face became more intense: Young Master Yang has the same childish temperament as your father!

Yang Tiansheng almost broke through the defense, but fortunately Yang Ge knocked on the court case in time and saved his respect: Tell me, what's going on!

Wang Sui put away his smile and said seriously: Where do you want to start?

Yang Ge thought for a while and said softly: Let's start with how you got involved with Geng Jingzhong.

Wang Zuo: That would be a long story.

Yang Ge: Then you should keep the story short.

Wang Zuo:......

He took a deep breath and said slowly: Geng Jingzhong had a relationship with various pirates from the sea who came from our great Wei Dynasty. After Wang annexed those pirates who were fighting in small ways and were not familiar with each other, Geng Jingzhong Send someone to find Wang...

Yang Ge interrupted him: Didn't you just say that you had assisted King Ning in quelling the Japanese pirates along the coast? Tell the whole story, don't think about saying half and leaving half. I can make my own judgment on what happened!

Wang Zuo: This...

He hesitated and didn't speak.

Yang Ge frowned: Hard to say?

Wang Zuo replied truthfully: I dare not say.

Yang Ge frowned: Then do you think the things I have done are enough to kill me?

Wang Sui glanced at him and replied: It would have been enough for another person a hundred times!

Yang Ge: But I'm still alive, right?

Wang Sui shook his head: Wang is not as capable as the second master!

Yang Ge added: I may not be able to protect you, but I can make it impossible for others to touch you.

Wang Zuo: Including Prince Ning?

Yang Ge: Including Prince Ning!

Wang Sui shut up again and thought about it for a long time before he said: Second Master, does he know when the sea ban in the Wei Dynasty started?

This Yang Ge really knows that when he investigated the corruption case in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he checked the relevant information: If I remember correctly, it seems to have started in the second year of Jianping, right?

Wang Sui nodded: It did start in the second year of Jianping, but in fact... private overseas smuggling has never stopped.

Yang Ge nodded: As expected.

Wang Sui continued: In the beginning, maritime smuggling was mainly based on merchant ships secretly organized by royal family members and nobles. The Japanese invasion of the southeast coast also arose from that time. Later, King Ning took over Ninghai and controlled the Japanese invasion. When there is a crisis, these private smuggling will also be cut off.

At that time, there were too many people involved in maritime smuggling, and the profits of maritime business were reduced. Those royal family members and nobles no longer personally organized merchant ships for smuggling, but instead controlled major merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and controlled the supply of goods. Make money while lying down...

When Yang Ge heard this, he already had a premonition of what Wang Zuo was going to say. After waving to him, he turned to Yang Tiansheng and said: Boss, could you please go to the kitchen and arrange a table of good food for Wang Da at noon? Take the lead!

Yang Tiansheng, who was listening with great interest, was stunned...

You might want to get angry, but Yang Ge calls him boss!

Don't get angry, I can't swallow the breath in my heart.

Yang Ge stood up and patted his shoulder: Obey, it's not good for you to know too much about these nonsense!

Yang Tiansheng had no choice but to stand up and walk out the door reluctantly. Halfway there, he couldn't take it anymore, so he turned around and said, Yang Laoer...

Yang Ge nodded perfunctorily: I really deserve to die, I know, I know, go ahead!

Yang Tiansheng:......

He glared at Yang Ge, turned around and slammed the door and left.

When Wang Sui saw this, he forced a smile and said: The friendship between the second master and Young Master Yang is really enviable!

Yang Ge knocked on the table: Go on.

Wang Sui took a deep breath and continued: Later, the channels for maritime smuggling fell into the hands of Prince Ning and the Zhejiang Party. At that time, the smugglers were their people, and the Japanese pirates who robbed the coast were also their people. .”

It wasn't until I, Lao Wang, made a fortune in Japan and cleaned up the unfavorable Japanese pirates and pirates along our southeastern coast that Prince Ning and the people from the Zhejiang Party approached me, Lao Wang, and asked me to work for them.

Of course I don't want to do those kinds of business that forget my ancestors, but who doesn't love money? So I took the business of escorting their merchant ships in and out.

Yang Ge: It means that you have been making money in partnership with Prince Ning and the Zhejiang Party these years, right?

Wang Zuo emphasized: Wang just earns some hard-earned money from running errands. He doesn't know anything about other things and has no involvement in it!

Yang Ge: What about this time? Is there anything related to Prince Ning in this incident?

Wang Zuo: No, I, Mr. Wang, have had a falling out with Prince Ning a long time ago!

Yang Ge: How to say?

Wang Sui: Just a few years ago, when the Japanese Japanese pirates harmed the southeastern coast, everyone's business could not be done. King Ning sent someone to ask me, Lao Wang, to help him encircle and suppress those Japanese pirates. He promised to recommend me after that. Lao Wang holds the position of Chief of the Navy. As a result, I, Lao Wang, tried his best, but he turned his back and refused to recognize anyone after using up his people. Since then, I, Lao Wang, and Prince Ning have gone their separate ways, and he has never looked for him again. He passed me, Old Wang, and I, Old Wang, never took care of his ship again.

Yang Ge thought about it for a moment and said noncommittally: So this time, is it just Geng Jingzhong who was the go-between?

Wang Sui: The old man said that as long as my old Wang's people walked ashore and cooperated with him to pressure the court to help him open the sea for trade, he fought for a chance for me, Old Wang, to recruit people, and also promised me, Old Wang, a general. As for the position of soldier, he said that Zhoushan would be allocated to me, Lao Wang, as a naval force and a stronghold...

Yang Ge suddenly smiled and said: You don't think that I will believe that you will believe such an empty promise, right?

Wang Zuo was silent for a long time with his eyes twinkling, and then he finally said: Second Master Haojiao knows that Zhoushan... is originally their private market for overseas trade, and it is also the location of my old Wang's water village in Wei Dynasty.

Yang Ge smiled: That makes sense.

Wang Zuo clasped his fists: Second Master understands everything clearly, Wang Mou admires it very much!

Yang Ge: Stop flattering and talking nonsense.

Wang Zuo: Second Master should know what happened later. In order to get a chance to serve the imperial court, I, the old Wang, agreed to the old man's promise, thinking that it was just a trip ashore and no looting. , if we can really urge the court to lift the maritime ban, it will be a good thing both publicly and privately.

I never thought that the old man would secretly contact several groups of Japanese pirates under the banner of me, Old Wang, and agreed that when my old men and horses arrived in Zhoushan, they would land at Shuangyu and Jiading to plunder at the same time.

I, Mr. Wang, just learned of the news and was about to go to the old man to argue with him when he received the news that the old man had died under the sword of the second master... The second master killed well. It seems that such a man has no king and no father. The treacherous dog official with a human face and an animal heart should be killed with one knife!

After Wang Sui said this, Yang Ge immediately remembered the Japanese pirate he had seen in the Haoran Zhengqi Building in Shanshui Garden when he went to kill Geng Jingzhong.

He was definitely a real devil. His appearance, accent, and feeling of being out of place were enough to prove that he was a pure-blooded devil.

If Geng Jingzhong contacted people from Wei who were pretending to be Japanese pirates, such as Wang Sui in front of him.

So when it comes to meeting Geng Jingzhong, there is no way the other side would send a little devil...

This point can corroborate Wang Sui's words.

He thought for a long time before speaking again: Why did Geng Jingzhong contact you first, and then use your name to contact the real Japanese pirates?

Wang Sui smiled modestly: To be honest with you, I, Mr. Wang, have been eating sea water for so many years, and I still have a bit of a bad reputation at sea. Without my boss's nodding, not many Japanese pirates would dare to come to our country. There is rebellion along the coast of Wei...except for those fake Japanese pirates under King Ning who pretend to be Japanese pirates.

Yang Gezuo nodded and said, That's it.

He thought about the words of the old scumbag with a pig-like face and a loud heart in front of him. Based on the clues and evidence in his hand, he judged that at least half of what this old bastard said was true.

As for the remaining half... his relationship with Prince Ning is definitely more than what he said, and his own actions must have greatly beautified it.

But this is also human nature. Who would say something that is not good for themselves?

Tell me about your request for coming to see me.

After a long time, Yang Ge let out a sigh of relief, caressing the armrest of the seat and said slowly: It's just to clear up the misunderstanding, but it's not worth the risk of going there in person as your boss.

Ashamed to say that.

Wang Zuo smiled honestly and shyly: My old Wang heard about the second master's name at sea, and knew that the second master was a good man who valued love and righteousness and promised a lot of money, so he thought of taking this opportunity to come to see the second master and get rid of the problem. There was a misunderstanding with the second master, so the second master asked the second master to express his feelings to the court on my behalf, Old Wang, and give me, Old Wang, a chance to recruit peace.

When Yang Ge heard this, he couldn't help but stroke his hair on his forehead... If he remembered correctly, this was the third time this guy had mentioned recruitment.

The purpose of assisting King Ning in quelling the Japanese invasion along the coast was to attract peace.

Agreeing to Geng Jingzhong to put pressure on the court was also to attract peace.

Now I take the risk of coming to Hangzhou to see him, just to recruit him...

Yang Ge looked at this guy up and down again in confusion: Do you really want to serve the imperial court that much?

Wang Zuo was even more puzzled than he was: Where did the second master say this? Although I am a rough man, I also know the principle of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country! Furthermore, even if there are thousands of hectares of fertile land in a foreign country, how can it be as good as my hometown? A place where you can sleep?

Yang Ge was speechless.

When this guy said this, it seemed that he was abnormal...

After pondering for a long time, he said: Do you know about the Japanese pirates on the Three Routes of Guyu causing trouble along the coast?

Wang Zuo nodded: As long as the second master says a word, I, Old Wang, will turn around and drive away those rabble.

Yang Ge: Do you have any way to gather the other two groups of Japanese pirates somewhere in Zhoushan or Shuangyu?

Wang Sui thought for a while and nodded: You can give it a try, it shouldn't be difficult...

Yang Ge slapped the armrest: Then we won't drive them away. Since they dare to come, we, the hosts, have no reason not to dare to entertain them.

You managed to gather them to an uninhabited place in Zhoushan or Shuangyu. Cooperate with our people and defeat them in one battle.

After the matter is completed, I will try my best to deal with your matter. I don't have the ability as a general soldier, but I guarantee that I can get you a hundred households with embroidered clothes and guards.

If you don't think your rank is low and if you are willing to trust me, Yang Erlang, then help me do this!

If you think your position is low, or if you don't want to trust me, Yang Erlang, then let this matter go. You can go back to where you came from. We will pretend we have never met you.

But I will tell you the ugly story first. If you dare to take your people to participate in this robbery, I will kill you even if I chase you to Japan!

The people in your hometown will also be punished according to the law. They will confiscate their homes when they should, and they will seize the three clans that should be punished!

I'm really not good at being an official.

But none of the people I want to kill are alive yet...

It was a long speech, and every word of Yang Ge was spoken with great force.

Wang Sui looked at him with twinkling eyes, and after fighting in his heart for a long time, he smiled and said slowly: Don't tell lies in front of a real person... From the second-grade general soldier to the sixth-grade hundred households, the gap is bigger than the Lushan Waterfall.

But if the second master also promises me, Old Wang, to be a general soldier, I, Old Wang, will keep it and get up and leave without saying a word.

On the other hand, Second Master said Baihu... I, Old Wang, really want to believe Second Master for once!

With Second Master's reputation, you won't be able to trick me, Old Wang, into becoming a fisherman, right?

He had already eaten the big cake until he vomited.

Now someone promised him a bowl of corn rice. Although it was far from what he expected, if he could actually eat it... he would still be able to satisfy his hunger at least!

Yang Ge said seriously: I, Yang Erlang, speak with spit and nails!

Wang Zuo cupped his fists and said, If I didn't believe the Second Master, I, Old Wang, would not come to Hangzhou alone to meet the Second Master!

Just because Yang Erlang, a member of an official family, could hang out with people from the Ming Cult, Wang Sui was willing to trust Yang Erlang for once.

Yang Ge smiled and stood up and pulled out the map: Very good, let's discuss the details now...

Oh my god, it’s a big chapter with nearly 7,000 words. I’m so awesome~
