Chapter 868
I think that when Qin Zhongtang was young, he was in a state of "three neglects" due to lack of restraint and discipline from his elders.

Being in a place like the Qinhuai River in Nanjing again, facing countless seductions from the world of mortals, it has been a ridiculous period of sensuality for a while.

The dream goddess in the eyes of others may be like a tired snack in Qin Zhongtang, and the leftovers are thrown away. In the end, Wang Lianqing, who is superb in means and congenial in temperament, can achieve the right result.

It wasn't until Qin Zhongtang achieved a major breakthrough on his road to fame and participated in more fun and exciting temple games that he restrained himself in terms of female sex.

Xu Quan didn't mind the past experience of his beloved wife, but comforted him warmly and said: "Don't think about the unpleasant old things, I will definitely not make you sad."

Looking at the scene in front of him, in Yan Shifan's heart, for some reason, a small flame of jealousy burst out.

To appease his wife, Xu Quan looked at Xu Shian and Yan Shifan again. After hearing the identities of these two people, he did not intend to let them go.

"Your Excellency has a very close relationship with Qin Zhongtang, can you introduce me?" Xu Quan first said to Xu Shi'an.

Xu Laosan didn't want to agree and didn't dare to refuse, pretending to be careless and responding: "Brother Qin is not here, and I don't know his whereabouts, how can I introduce you?"

Yan Shifan didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly took the initiative to add: "With Qin Zhongtang's status, not everyone can ask for an interview, even if you help introduce him in the middle, you need to speak properly.

If you want to invite Mr. Xu to introduce you, you might as well explain your family background first, so that Mr. Xu can think carefully and come up with a suitable explanation. "

Xu Quan pondered for a while, and his words sounded reasonable. It was absolutely impossible for Qin Zhongtang to meet an unknown person of unknown origin.

At this moment, Mrs. Xu, who was in a bad mood because of recalling the past, spoke to Xu Quan:

"These people's hearts are twisted and twisted. If you only listen to them, you will eventually be led by their noses."

Xu Quan quickly turned his head away again, "What's your opinion, madam?"

Mrs. Xu pointed to Yan Shifan: "This is the son of Elder Yan Ge, anyone who has a little understanding of officialdom knows that Elder Yan Ge and Qin Zhongtang are political enemies.

Then the question is obvious, why did Uncle Yan walk with Third Master Xu, the milk brother of his political opponent?
Moreover, according to observation, their group seems to be headed by Third Master Xu, which does not match the identity of Uncle Yan. "

Xu Quan is not too stupid to be a leader, so he immediately reacted: "If we talk about the reason, is this Uncle Yan compromising his interests, or is he forced?"

Mrs. Xu then continued: "With Qin Zhongtang's cold-blooded and ruthless nature, letting Uncle Yan follow Mr. Xu out like this, I'm afraid he has the intention of playing hard to catch and killing people with a knife.

So as long as you hold Uncle Yan's head and go to see Qin Zhongtang, you will definitely be interviewed! "

Yan Shifan: "."

What did he do wrong? Why did everyone think of killing himself first after seeing him?
Thinking of the indignation, Yan Shifan couldn't help but raised his head and laughed "haha", just laughing at this god who has no eyes!

Xu Quan asked in surprise: "Why are you laughing?"

Yan Shifan quickly stopped laughing, and responded: "I laugh at Commander Xu's wife, she is so small! Thinking of Qin Zhongtang is too low-end!"

There is another sentence that Yan Shifan didn't say: No wonder Qin Dewei looked down on her at the beginning, she didn't understand Qin Dewei at all.

Seeing that Leader Xu and Mrs. Xu had unkind expressions on the opposite side, Yan Shifan explained: "First, no matter from the ethos of my Ming court or the habits of Qin Zhongtang, political struggles are rarely resolved by physical annihilation. question!

So you guys want to use my head in exchange for Qin Zhongtang's favor, it's a big mistake!This may be the way of the reckless rivers and lakes, but it is definitely not the way of officialdom!
Even on the contrary, I am here with Mr. Xu, which is equivalent to Qin Zhongtang's hostage!Only when the hostages are alive can they play their best role! "

"Secondly, I can see that you must have something to ask, Chief Xu, that's why you inquired about the direction of the court and wanted to see Qin Zhongtang!
What should you do if Qin Zhongtang is not what you want at all?Are you sure that you will get the desired result from Qin Zhongtang?You don't consider leaving a way out?
And I, Yan Shifan, am the son of the ruling cabinet elder, if Qin Zhongtang cannot satisfy Chief Xu, you may wish to consider our Yan family!

But if you take my head, there is no other possibility at all!Once you are rejected by Qin Zhongtang, you have no choice! "

Xu Quan said to Mrs. Xu again: "What he said is also reasonable."

Yan Shifan urged while the iron was hot: "I think Chief Xu is also a reasonable person. If you think what I said is reasonable, you might as well disclose some more information. I can help Chief Xu with his staff."

Xu Quan smiled and said: "Others may be worried about the encirclement and suppression by the government, so I am not afraid of those who hide their heads and show their tails! To tell you the truth, I am a businessman from the East China Sea, and I have been traveling between Daming and Japan in recent years.

Now we have dozens of huge ships and tens of thousands of personnel, and we have also established a foundation on the side of the Wa Kingdom, fighting against the princes of the Wa Kingdom! "

After Yan Shifan and Xu Shian were shocked, they suddenly realized that these people were not land robbers but pirates!

Although I don't know if Chief Xu is bragging and exaggerating, but many mysteries in his heart have been explained, no wonder this group of people are a bit lawless and unscrupulous!
This kind of person is said to be a sea merchant, but in fact he is similar to a pirate, at least half a merchant and half a thief.

If you think about it, you will know that under the official policy of Ming Dynasty's strict ban on seas, all private maritime trade is illegal. Isn't it possible for "thieves" to do business at sea?
It's no wonder that Leader Xu is so concerned about the direction of the court's maritime policy, and he doesn't hesitate to hijack important figures to find out the real information.

At the same time, it's no wonder that this group of people has the strength to raid Jingkou Station and rob the target person.One is that there has been no war in the hinterland of the southeast for a hundred years, and the military defense is very lax.

Maybe this group of people has legal guides, and they can't be seen as pirates at all on land.

The second is that the east of Jingkou Station is not far away, and it is at the place where the river enters the sea.It is not too difficult for pirates to go up and land from the extremely wide river mouth, and it is easy to escape.

After Xu Quan finished talking about his background, he immediately asked Yan Shifan: "This is the case with us. In your opinion, what will Qin Zhongtang think of us?"

Yan Shifan pondered for a moment, thinking quickly in his heart.

It can now be inferred that this gang of half-grey and half-black maritime merchants is probably doing well. In recent years, their power has expanded, so they have new political pursuits and demands for "legalization".

They probably want to obtain legal status from Ming Dynasty, or even obtain official canonization, so they expect the imperial court's policy to change or loosen.

This is all understandable, as long as they are not determined to rebel and have no channels, which bandit and robber don't want to be "recruited"?
This newly emerged force is equivalent to an increase in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, why can't it be used for oneself?
It is not necessary to find Qin Dewei, but to go to Yan Shifan, with the endorsement of Mr. Yan Ge, he can also be recruited and cleansed!

Although Yan Shifan doesn't know much about the usefulness of maritime affairs to politics, the things Qin Dewei attaches importance to must have a reason to be taken seriously!
If Qin Dewei's Hu can be cut off here, it can be regarded as a major victory!
While thinking, Yan Shifan said to Xu Quan: "Since Chief Xu can trust me, then I can talk endlessly!

I have thought about it for you just now, and there are probably three conclusions.First of all, you should be useful to Qin Zhongtang, this is the basis of everything.

According to my analysis, Qin Zhongtang has always paid attention to the Japanese country, and besides, he went to the southeast originally to put down the Japanese rebellion.

Moreover, Qin Zhongtang has always been interested in maritime affairs, and he did not hesitate to send me to Guangdong to collect maritime intelligence.

It is obvious that you sea merchants who travel between Daming and Wa Kingdom are of great use to Qin Zhongtang. "

Xu Quan heard this and urged: "Then what's next?"

Yan Shifan continued: "Secondly, Qin Dewei only cares about interests, as long as Chief Xu and you are useful to him, he should have the intention to accept you.

Moreover, Qin Dewei has always been bold and reckless in his actions. He can dare to do things that others dare not do, accepting you to complete and bear it. "

"If that's the case, that's great!" Xu Quan was a little excited, and finally had the feeling of seeing the sun behind the clouds!

For professional matters, you should seek professional advice. Uncle Yan seems to be the most professional candidate!
Yan Shifan couldn't stand the superficiality of Leader Xu, so he hurriedly continued: "There is a third crucial point, Leader Xu must listen carefully!

Qin Dewei is a man who advocates power and strategy, even if he wants to accept you, he will definitely beat you a few times first!
When you are so humiliated that you can't stand it, he will suddenly give you some sweetness, and let you immediately thank you and be grateful! "

Those who have never experienced Qin Zhongtang's whipping probably can't understand that feeling. Xu Quan just nodded and said:
"Thank you, Uncle Yan, for your guidance. Since you plan to contact Qin Zhongtang, you must be mentally prepared to face these.

Then I ask Uncle Xu to talk about it, what should I do next? "

Yan Shifan said with confidence: "You can continue to keep me as a hostage, and then let Mr. Xu go back!
And ask Mr. Xu to send a letter to Qin Zhongtang, let Qin Zhongtang know the existence of Chief Xu first! "

Xu Shi'an looked at Yan Shifan in surprise, this Yan Shifan is so righteous?He was willing to stay as a hostage, just so that he could escape?

Xu Quan asked Madam Xu: "What do you think Madam?"

Mrs. Xu replied indifferently: "It makes sense, you can ask Mr. Xu to send a letter first, if Qin Dewei is interested, he will definitely take the initiative to do something!
Let's wait for Qin Dewei's reaction first, but at the same time, we must be prepared to escape in case Qin Dewei surprises us for credit. "

So Xu Quan left Yan Shifan and let Xu Shian go.Worried that Xu Shian could not find his way, he sent someone to take Xu Shian back to Jingkou Station.

Then Xu Quan used this courtyard as a contact point, leaving only a few of his men on duty.

And he took most of the people, including Yan Shifan, to a boat at a hidden pier by the river.

Although Yan Shifan claimed to be a hostage, he was treated with courtesy by Chief Xu.

Xu Quan even set up a banquet on the boat, and the husband and wife came out to entertain Yan Shifan together, which made Yan Shifan finally feel a little bit like the son of Zaifu.

After all, Yan Shifan did not forget his plan, and while the wine was hot, he handed over the words:
"I'll say a few words about the truth after drinking. I dare to predict that Qin Dewei will accept you in the end, but at the same time, I'm not optimistic about your future!"

Xu Quan now had some trust in Yan Shifan, and asked, "Why?"

Yan Shifan turned to Madam Xu and said, "Madam, what kind of person is Qin Dewei?"

Mrs. Xu commented: "He is ruthless and unjust, cold-blooded and mean, treats people like ants, and everything must be calculated!"

Yan Shifan laughed a few times, and clapped the table and said: "Madam is right, that's it! I also want to say that Qin Dewei is good at doing things, but he is not good at being a man!"

Then he said to Xu Quan: "Qin Dewei has a strong desire to control the sphere of influence, and rarely gives people room for freedom. His cronies are like tools in his eyes.

Those of you who are maritime merchants must be used to freedom, can you bear these shackles and restraints? "

After Xu Quan drank a bowl of wine, he sighed to Yan Shifan: "Say a few words of heart-to-heart, although I want to ask Qin Zhongtang to forgive me, if it is used as a tool like that, it is better to continue wandering on the sea."

Yan Shifan hurriedly added, "Actually, I thought of a way to get the best of both worlds. Maybe you can accept the imperial conferment without losing your freedom."

Xu Quan was very puzzled, is there such a good thing?

Yan Shifan came up with an idea: "My court of the Ming Dynasty implemented the system of confiscation in the southwestern barbarians, and most of them had chieftains.

Then reward the chieftains of the barbarians as native officials, and replace the imperial court to govern the barbarians. At the same time, these chieftains are also the vassal screens of the Ming Dynasty.

In my opinion, we can also imitate the Jimi system for treating you maritime merchant leaders!Use sea ships as chieftains, chieftains as native officials, and form a sea fence for Ming Dynasty!
You big bosses can be hereditary officials from generation to generation and retire with the country! "

Although Xu Quan has a little political appeal, it is only "legalization", and then he obtains the "licence" of the imperial court and becomes a privileged person.

So hearing the grand blueprint drawn by Yan Shifan, Chief Xu was quite shocked.

This is possible, it is simply too possible!

Xu Quan forced himself to calm down, but he still said a little excitedly: "The newly built Maritime Jumi is almost divided into enfeoffments. Even though Qin Zhongtang is entrusted by the imperial court with a certain amount of power, it can't decide such a big matter, right? In the end, it depends on the imperial court." manner."

Yan Shifan began to talk about the feasibility issue again: "I am [-]% sure that Qin Dewei will definitely promote Kaihai when he is in Zhejiang!

As long as Qin Dewei opens the sea, we can follow the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity and propose the maritime restraint system!

My father is in power as a cabinet, and he is quite powerful in the court. Qin Dewei is not in the court recently, so no one can compete with my father!

At that time, please ask my father to come forward to operate it!If it can be done, then leader Xu can be regarded as an official, and he can honor his ancestors! "

Xu Quan's blood boiled when he heard it, and he sighed: "I really hope to see Qin Zhongtang as soon as possible!"

In the end, do you still miss Qin Dewei the most?Yan Shifan was a little upset, but he still calmed down and said:

"Don't worry, Qin Zhongtang is going to Zhejiang via Jingkou, I expect to hear back within two days!"

There is nothing else to worry about, except for Qin Dewei's virtue of treating people and things, how many people can bear it?
As long as I provoke him a little more, it will be too easy to cut off. If Xu Quan is drawn over, he will be able to advance, attack, retreat, and defend at sea.

No matter how bad it is, it can also be regarded as raising a private boat, which is not a bad thing!
