Chapter 145 Resurgence(1/2)
Liegang.
This inconspicuous island in the past has become a refuge for countless pirates.
Among them is Wang Zhi, a Huishang Sect.
The Xu father and son were all arrested during an encirclement by the official army not long ago. Wang Zhi tried his best to escape from the sky.
He collected the remnants of his family and wandered on the sea for a long time, and finally decided to settle in Liegang.
Compared with Shuangyu, Liegang is really too inconspicuous.
Neither the size of the port nor the resources on the island are compared with Shuangyu. The most important thing is that Shuangyu has been operated for decades and can be almost compared with the wealthy prefectures. Liegang is like a poor and broken village. It has nothing to do, and everything has to be started over.
Alas, it's so difficult.
The Shuangyu has today's fruits, not all the heroic spirit of the Ming army, but in fact there are many internal contradictions.
If it weren't for suspicion and hostility everywhere, how could the Ming army defeat the fishermen and make profits?
Even after Shuangyu was captured, Wang Zhi thought there was still a chance.
But the actions of each company after that were so disappointing.
But now there is no point in saying this.
Surviving is the most important thing.
There are many Japanese people on this small island, all of which are from Hirado Island.
Wang Zhi once went to Hirado Island and had a great relationship with the local daimyo.
Therefore, after a lot of talks, the local Japanese agreed to Wang Zhi and other troops to enter.
The conditions in Liegang are very poor, there are few houses on the island, and many people have to live in caves.
Wang Zhi had no objection to this, but instead took the lead in moving into the cave.
In extraordinary times, don’t be so particular.
After talking to the Japanese leader Naito Changzhi, Wang Zhi learned that these Japanese people mainly make a living by robbery, and occasionally take charge of some prominent families along the coast to ask for money.
But now the government army is in great power, and they have not been eating meat for a long time.
It will definitely not work if this continues!
Liegang has limited storage capacity, and there will be problems if there is no entry in a month or two.
I can't continue to endure it.
Wang Zhi decided to go to Naito Changzhi to discuss future development issues.
He only brought a few confidants to Jiaomen Mountain, but was blocked while going up the mountain.
Wang Zhi communicated in Japanese language and then learned that there was news that the official army was going to attack Liegang in the near future, and Naito Changzhi Masato discussed with his confidant to stay or leave.
Wang Zhi felt as uncomfortable as if a bone stuck in his throat.
Can Naito Changzhi suspect that he brought the official army?
From an objective perspective, Wang Zhi is indeed very suspicious.
Now Wang Zhi can't explain even if he has a mouth.
But he still has to say it.
If he can't even stay in Liegang at this time, he will really have to wander on the sea.
"Please report to Wang Zhi, there is something important to discuss with him."
Wang Zhi asked sincerely in Japanese.
The Japanese hesitated a little, and finally nodded and went up the mountain.
Wang Zhi was waiting patiently at the foot of the mountain, looking forward to Naito Changzhi's change of mind.
After about a stick of incense, the Japanese came down the mountain.
He talked in Japanese, and Wang Zhi's expression changed slightly.
Naito Changzhi meant that he could go up the mountain alone and could not bring any personal guards.
Could this be the Hongmen Banquet?
Wang Zhi was very conflicted inside.
If he didn't prove that there was a ghost in his heart, Naito Changzhi would definitely not keep him on the island.
If he goes, Wang Zhi doesn't know if he can go down the mountain alive.
After a fierce ideological struggle, Wang Zhi finally decided to go up the mountain.
Because he has no choice but to go to the point of despair.
He could not bear to continue floating on the sea.
After some communication, the Japanese nodded and signaled Wang Zhi to go up the mountain with him.
Wang Zhi took a deep breath and followed him closely.
Jiaomen Mountain is not high, and Wang Zhi climbed to the top not long after he reached the top.
A three-story bamboo building stands there very conspicuously.
"please!"
The Japanese guards said in Japanese.
Wang Zhifei shook his robe and clothes and walked forward.
Entering the door and climbing the stairs in one go.
When I walked to the third floor, I saw a few people sitting there through the curtains. Among them was Naito Changzhi.
Wang Zhi lifted the curtain and gave a Japanese salute to Naito Changzhi.
Naito Changzhi nodded and signaled Wang to sit down.
Except for Naito Changzhi, Wang Zhi only knew Xin Goro in the house.
Seeing Xin Wulang's face turned angry, his heart skipped a beat.
Isn't this really a Hongmen banquet?
No matter what, it is impossible to regret it now.
Once you come, you will be at peace.
Wang Zhi sat down, picked up a glass of wine and took a sip.
"There is news that the government army is about to encircle and suppress Liegang. I wonder what you think?"
Naito Changji asked straight to the point and without hesitation, without any intention of giving Wang Zhi a face.
Although Wang Zhi couldn't hold on his face, he cleared his throat and said, "Wang thinks this must be a rumor."
"Oh? How do you see it?"
Naito Changji said expressionlessly.
"After the official army captured Shuangyu, although there were several major wars, they were all at sea."
Wang Zhi had the most painful experience and presented it without reservation at this moment.
"Wang feels that the government army will no longer have plans to attack the island in a short period of time."
No matter what Wang Zhi analyzed, this is just an analysis and there is no evidence.
Wang Zhi can decide whether to believe or not.
After being silent for a long time, Naito Nagaji sighed, "This is a bet."
"Xinwuro, how long is the food on the island enough to eat?"
"Save some food, it will be enough for half a month at most."
Speaking of this, Xin Wulang glared at Wang Zhi with gritted teeth, as if the food on the island was eaten up by Wang Zhi and his men.
Although Wang Zhi felt wronged, he could only bear it.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves.
"Wang felt that he might be able to raid merchant ships to replenish supplies."
Wang Zhi gave a choice.
"Do you think there are still merchant ships now?"
Xin Wuro said sarcastically without hesitation.
"By your gift, the merchant ships traveling here have disappeared."
"Xin Goro!"
Naito Changji glared at Shingoro before he shut up.
