Xu Quan, no, Xu Weixue left in a daze, and returned to the boat docked at the secret harbor.

The subordinates who stayed here could all see that the leader was a little bit lost and didn't know what he had gone through.

Only Yan Shifan, who was standing on the deck, was not surprised at all, and he still had the heart to say to Mrs. Xu:

"As I expected, Chief Xu will definitely be humiliated when he goes to contact Qin Dewei!"

Only a strong-willed person like me, when faced with Qin Dewei's insult, can uphold the true self and remain unmoved.

Now Yan Shifan already knows that Mrs. Xu's surname is Zheng. It seems that after leaving Nanjing, she wandered around the south of the Yangtze River, and somehow followed Chief Xu.

Xu Zheng was not in the mood to talk to the hostage Yan Shifan, so he hurried down to meet Chief Xu.

Seeing the woman he loves, Xu Weixue calmed down a little, and cursed: "Qin Dewei is inhuman!"

Xu Zhengshi nodded in agreement, and scolded together: "He is not a person!"

Yan Shifan, who followed behind, also agreed, "I said it the night before, Qin Dewei has never been a man!"

Xu Weixue dared to violate the prohibition, risked his life on the sea, and became a leader of the captain level, directly under the three 400 people, and his heart must be very tenacious.

Whether it is secret or mysterious, it is a protective shell for people like them.

But when he ran into a traveler, he was directly exposed, and he was a little confused at this time.

As Qin Dewei pointed out at the sight of blood, the real leader of the maritime armed group that Xu Weixue belongs to is Wang Zhi.

And Wang Zhi has several big ship owners, Xu Weixue is the most important one among them, he is Wang Zhi's fellow countryman, and he can be regarded as an early partner.

If this group is compared to a gang, Wang Zhi is the gang leader, and Xu Weixue's status is similar to that of the deputy gang leader and hall leader.

This time Xu Weixue landed, in fact, he was ordered by Wang Zhi to find out the direction of the court and seek contact with the official.

Originally, I was quite excited to know that I had the opportunity to contact Qin Zhongtang through an intermediary, but I didn't expect that I was almost defeated before I even saw him face to face.

Through Xu Sanye's message, Qin Dewei has actually made his attitude clear: If you don't get in touch with you, Xu Weixue, and the big boss Wang Zhi comes over in person, you Xu Weixue is not enough.

With such an attitude, how can Xu Weixue proceed further?
Yan Shifan waited for a while, seeing that Xu Weixue's mood gradually stabilized, he tentatively asked:

No matter what Qin Dewei's attitude is, Chief Xu, you don't have to take it to heart.By the way, what did he say?
Xu Weixue remembered that there was still Yan Shifan as a hostage, so he couldn't help but vent his anger and said: I believed in your words, so this whole life was in vain!
You said that Qin Dewei would definitely pay attention to me, but in the end he never showed up! You said that Qin Dewei would definitely win me over in the end, but he didn’t at all!
Yan Shifan said in surprise: "Impossible! Qin Dewei will definitely not be uninterested! Qin Dewei will definitely understand your role!"

Xu Weixue thought about it, Yan Shifan is still very shrewd, and now he doesn't know what to do, so he might as well be a military adviser and consult him.

Besides, the information on my side has been leaked by Qin Dewei, so what else can I keep secret?…

So Xu Weixue roughly explained what happened today, and Yan Shifan was only surprised when he heard it.

What? You surnamed Xu have been blowing the water for a long time, so it turns out that you are a small boss, and you have a big boss above you?
He, Yan Shifan, put so much thought into the leader Xu in front of him, and even took the risk to stay as a hostage and offer advice, why?
Don't you just think that Xu Weixue is a leader of the sea forces, and he has the intention of recruiting him for his own use?
If leader Xu is someone else's subordinate, what's the point of wooing him? Even if he tries his best, won't he listen to Wang Zhen in the end?
So Yan Shifan can be sure that even if it takes effort, it should be spent on that big leader Wang Zhi!
After Xu Weixue finished speaking, he asked: "Qin Dewei should

You should be interested in our group of maritime merchants, otherwise you wouldn't have such a detailed understanding. "

"But he is not interested in me, and he doesn't even want to see him. What should I do next?"

Yan Shifan also wanted to say, in fact, we are in the same rank as Qin Dewei, and we are not interested in you either!
But Uncle Yan didn't forget the status of the "hostage", so he replied casually: "Since Qin Dewei wants to see the king, then let the king come over."

Xu Weixue said helplessly: "Brother Wang is now in the Wa country, and he can't get through at all right now, so we have to wait until the beginning of spring next year."

The nautical traffic between Wa Kingdom and Ming Dynasty mainly depends on wind power. According to the direction of monsoon wind, people come with the wind and go with the wind. It is really not possible to come at any time.

Yan Shifan suddenly felt dull, he couldn't see Wang Zhi, the real leader, so what's the point of beeping here with Xu Weixue?
But Yan Shifan still couldn't figure it out, Qin Dewei, why are you such a dick?
Even if you don't like Xu Weixue, you should show a little coquettish intention, after all, you can only send messages to Wang directly through Xu Weixue.

But judging from today's situation, Qin Dewei did not express any tenderness at all, and it was completely an attitude of "love will come or not". Why is this?
Regarding Yan Shifan's question, Xu Weixue could vaguely guess the reason.

Thinking about it makes me speechless, their leader Wang Zhizhen is a bit like Song Jiang in the Water Margin story, always thinking about how to be recruited by the court.

Xu Weixue was very suspicious, Qin Dewei knew so much about their forces, did he also know Wang Zhi's intention of "seeking security", so he was confident?
Of course, Xu Weixue is not stupid, he would not tell this to Yan Shifan, but Yan Shifan can only be confused.

Then Xu Weixue asked again: "This is the situation, what should I do next? I hope that Uncle Yan will not hesitate to enlighten me, otherwise I will have to send Uncle Yan away!"

What kind of gift is sent to leave, and how to leave, the meaning is very rich.

Yan Shifan sighed, his heart was calm and not scared at all.Probably because my life has been threatened a lot recently, so I'm used to it.

Although very disappointed, the hostage could only continue to follow the path he had chosen, with tears in his eyes.

After a little thought, Yan Shifan said again: "Actually, half of your mission of landing this time has been completed! Don't you want to find out the direction of the court? I can tell you clearly from the bottom of my heart now. I dare say that the direction of the future will definitely be It’s time to open the sea.”…

Xu Weixue sat up straight in shock, and asked, "Is this true?"

"How did Uncle Yan know?"

Yan Shifan said very confidently: "In fact, the reason is very simple, because Qin Dewei wants to open the sea! Although Qin Dewei is not a man, I believe in Qin Dewei's courage in doing things!"

Xu Weixue hurriedly asked again: "Qin Dewei can do what he wants?"

Yan Shifan said confidently: "No one in the court understands Qin Dewei better than me. I don't know if he can do it, but he will definitely dare to do it!"

Judging from past experience, from the border town military service system to the opening of China and France, and the damn military aircraft department, Qin Dewei has always liked the easier system!
Qin Dewei has always been very active in maritime affairs. Now that the emperor is unconscious, who can stop Qin Dewei from reforming? As for success or failure, that is another matter!
Hearing this, Xu Weixue has a feeling of "witnessing history". Could it be that he has caught up with a big era?
After Xu Weixue digested this judgment, Yan Shifan continued: "And Qin Dewei has a habit of doing things. No matter what he promotes, he likes to choose a small-scale experiment in a place first, and call it a pilot."

For example, Liaodong Town is one of his most valued pilot sites. Whether it is the recruitment system, the restoration of Chinese law, or the new firearms training equipment, he likes to test it in Liaodong first!
Now that he wants to open the sea, Qin Dewei must also be choosing a pilot site. As long as he finds out where the pilot site is in advance, he can get twice the result with half the effort!
Xu Weixue was fascinated when he heard it, and hurriedly asked, "Where is this pilot site?"

Yan Shifan

He didn't make a fool of himself, and replied: "If you don't visit Chief Xu, then Mr. Xu and I will go to Shuangyu Island in Ningbo Prefecture.

What is the relationship between Xu Sanye and Qin Dewei? Why did Qin Dewei send Xu Sanye to Shuangyu Island? Doesn’t this explain the problem?
I am [-]% sure that, in Qin Dewei's mind, the first pilot site to open the sea is Shuangyu Island!"

When Xu Weixue heard this answer, he suddenly patted the table, not knowing what he wanted to express.

Yan Shifan asked again: "Does the power on Shuangyu Island overseas in Ningbo have anything to do with you, Chief Xu?"

Xu Weixue replied: "There are three parties on Shuangyu Island, and the masters of the Daming side are the Xu brothers and Li Guangtou, who are not on the same side as us.

They are land tigers on Shuangyu Island, and their main business is to traffic goods from Fujian and Zhejiang into the sea, trade with Fulang robots, and fight a lot with patrolling officers and soldiers.

As for our group, we mainly travel between Daming and the Wa Kingdom, and have little contact with the officials and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers will not chase us to the Wa Kingdom to encircle and suppress us. "

Yan Shifan was really not clear about the details of these maritime forces, so he asked straightforwardly, "Who is more powerful, you, the Xu brothers on Shuangyu Island, or Baldy Li?"

Xu Weixue hesitated for a moment and said: "The Xu brothers are mainly Xu Dong, and our king leader was attached to Xu Dong back then.

But since the leader of the king opened up the Wa country, we have grown stronger and self-reliant.In terms of the number of people in the gang, it is almost the same as Xu Dong and Li Guangtou. "

After asking about the situation, Yan Shifan suggested to Xu Weixue, "If you don't know what to do now, go to Shuangyu Island!"

Xu Weixue was "underestimated" by Qin Zhongtang today, and he was somewhat unconvinced in his heart, so he said: ...

"Could it be that you mean that I will go to Shuangyu Island to meet Xu Dong, Li Guangtou and other leaders, and then fight against the patrol officers and fight against the sea patrolling army, so as to force that Qin Dewei to pay attention to me again!"

Yan Shifan: "..."

Xu Weixue asked, "What? This idea is wrong?"

Yan Shifan began to worry about whether he met his teammate Zhu again, and said coldly: "If you want to die quickly, do it like this."

"What do you mean, Mr. Yan?" Xu Weixue asked for advice.

Yan Shifan said: "Don't think about chasing Qin Dewei in order to achieve any purpose! You have to follow Qin Dewei's mind to do things, and then reap benefits from it. This is the best policy!"

A little tired of speaking, Yan Shifan rubbed his forehead, not sure if this leader Xu could understand his deep meaning.

Xu Weixue really couldn't understand, in his cognition, Mr. Yan Ge and Qin Dewei were not political enemies who had deep hatred and sworn hatred!
Then why did Yan Shifan say, "Do things according to Qin Dewei's mind"?
Xu Zheng, who was listening all the time, suddenly said: "The sage said, those who follow the sky will prosper, and those who go against the sky will perish. Now that we have seen the general trend clearly, we must follow the general trend to do things.

At the moment, it is the general trend for Qin Dewei to open the sea, no matter how you calculate, don't go against this general trend. "

Yan Shifan praised: "Extremely! That's the reason! Qin Dewei wants to open the sea, see what new policies he has, just follow his ideas, then Qin Dewei himself has no reason to stop you!
Under this premise, credit, benefits, and other things, you can get them as soon as you can, and they are in your own hands, this is the real foundation of your life!"

Only then did Xu Weixue suddenly realize,
"Understood! That's what you officials do. You keep saying you are loyal to the emperor, and at the same time, you are looking for your own personal gain."

The Haikou's comprehension ability is also very good. Yan Shifan was stunned before responding:

"Let's think so! When the time is right, I will report directly to my father, and maybe give you a better way out!"

Anyway, Xu Weixue, leader Xu felt that there was something to do, so he decided to say: "Then set off to Shuangyu Island, and then wait for the time to move."

Yan Shifan reminded again: "I have to report a letter to the government first, saying that I will carry out the task under the order of Qin Zhongtang. This will prevent the local government from causing problems because they are worried that they will not be able to explain it."

Such a plan has been decided, both the host and the guest are happy, and everyone was humiliated by Qin Zhongtang.
The haze of the day was swept away, as if there was hope for life again.

Although Qin Zhongtang, as a top political figure and the most dazzling superstar in terms of fame, often became the focus of others, Qin Zhongtang couldn't remember so many people and things in his heart. For example, people like Xu Weixue didn't affect his life at all. schedule and mood.

Probably in Qin Zhongtang's blueprint, no one is indispensable, no matter whether he is willing to join the general trend or not, he will not stop him.

After changing the boat suitable for the canal at Jingkou Station, Qin Zhongtang, who was ordered by the king, never disembarked.

Going south, you will arrive at Suzhou Mansion immediately. Apart from a few mansions with political attributes, Suzhou must be the first mansion of Ming Dynasty.

The place with the most developed industry and agriculture, the place with the most tax revenue, and the place where the humanities flourish,

If he didn't have a special mission, Qin Dewei would definitely stop when he was passing through Suzhou and take a tour, and win over Suzhou scholars by the way. …

But Qin Zhongtang didn't waste time, and still didn't get off the boat, but let the boat dock on the shore for a while near the stone lake in the south of Suzhou city.

It is said that Wen Zhengming, a celebrity over seventy years old, recently "lived in seclusion" in Shihu. In fact, Qin Dewei was very curious about what this "seclusion" was hiding.

As the only surviving celebrity of the previous generation, although Wen Zhengming is not as mad as the late Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan, he still has a lofty air.

For example, when the ship of the emperor's high official passed by Suzhou and docked, even Mr. Wen Lao, a figure of the prime minister's level, would not board the ship to pay homage.

Perhaps Qin Zhongtang was the only exception. Hearing that Qin Zhongtang's ship was docked nearby, Wen Zhengming boarded the ship with nothing to love.

There was no other way, Wen Zhengming signed up for the Jiajing 16-year South Zhili Township Examination without knowing who the examiner was, and then he made a mistake and hated it forever.

In that subject, Qin Zhongtang, the 19-year-old chief examiner, admitted 68-year-old Wen Zhengming, ending Wen Zhengming's black history of failing nine provincial examinations.

From then on, perhaps out of gratitude, Mr. Wen never wanted to see Qin Zhongtang again.

According to Shilin rules, Qin Zhongtang is Wen Zhengming's teacher, and now the teacher has passed by the door, how can the students not board the boat to pay homage?
Teachers and students have been away for many years, and after talking, they reluctantly parted.The students continued to live in seclusion, and the teachers continued to go south.

There is no more words along the way. At the beginning of July in the 20th year of Jiajing, Qin Zhongtang arrived at Hangzhou City, the end of the Grand Canal.

According to Qin Zhongtang's most original idea, he went directly to Ningbo, and his station was also located in Ningbo.It is more convenient for direct command, and at the same time, it can get rid of the constraints of various bureaucratic offices in Hangzhou.

However, due to various considerations, it is better to come to Hangzhou City first, at least to settle in Hangzhou City for a period of time.

First, Hangzhou is the capital of Zhejiang Province after all, and things cannot get around Hangzhou. As the governor who takes care of the overall situation, it is impossible not to show his face in Hangzhou.

Second, Qin Zhongtang, as the first governor of Zhejiang and the first governor of the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, has attracted much attention.It would be too reckless to go up to Ningbo Mansion without a detailed plan, and it would even be suspected of scaring the snake.

Third, considering all aspects of safety, it is safer to wait for all the soldiers of the standard battalion, especially the elite cronies of Liaodong, to arrive in Ningbo before going to Ningbo.

The north gate of Hangzhou City is the famous Wulin Gate. Today, on the canal wharf outside the Wulin Gate, all the officials who can stand on the stage in Hangzhou City have gathered.

Regardless of whether they were civil servants or military officials, whether they were civil affairs officials or judicial officials, they all stood on the pier and waited.

After the chief envoy, the inspector envoy, the command envoy, the salt transport envoy, the magistrate's sub-guardian, the patrol envoy, the command envoy, etc., Qiantang and Renhe are the smallest among them.

This battle is so big, I don't know if there will be no one in the future, but it must be unprecedented.

The officialdom is a place that pays great attention to etiquette, and the reception and delivery are not arranged by the envoy. There must be a reason for so many people to greet at the same time.

First of all, Qin Zhongtang is a bachelor of the Dongge University. No matter what his level is, he is higher than those of the Ministry, Academy, and Province, but anyone with a lower level should come to welcome him.

its

This time, Qin Zhongtang dispatched a large span, and the governor and governor basically covered everything.Therefore, the systems involved, whether civil affairs, jurisprudence or military, should come as they should.

There are a lot of officials standing here, and anyone with a little bit of political sensitivity knows that it is definitely a big deal for Qin Zhongtang to come to Fujian and Zhejiang on behalf of the imperial court.

What everyone is most concerned about is, what is the direction of the policy, and what is Qin Zhongtang's attitude towards maritime affairs?
The big boat slowly approached the shore, and Qin Zhongtang, who was wearing a first-grade crane patch red robe, came out of the cabin and stood on the deck to look around.

All the officials came forward to pay homage, Qin Zhongtang returned the salute slightly, and then sternly said to the officials:
"Ben Zhongtang came to the southeast and only did three things! Forbidden sea, forbidden sea, and forbidden sea!"

All the officials below digested this sentence one after another. Qin Zhongtang appointed a university scholar as the governor. Among the great officials in the frontier, it is definitely not a joke to publicly state his position! -
