Lu Tong sneered: "Tianlang, the little master of the Pavilion went into the tiger's den that time and secretly bribed the Japanese and Spanish in Wang Zhi's guards, and then figured out the defenses on the island. If it weren't for this, how could this attack be so smooth? Well, now I'm going to order the entire fleet to attack Wang Zhi's Black Shark. If Wang Zhi can be killed or captured here, then Chen Sipan will definitely be more likely to succeed."

Tianlang knew that he couldn't explain the truth to Lu Tong for the time being. This man was also stubborn, and now he was full of thinking about capturing and killing Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, and making a contribution. It was impossible to listen to the advice. He gritted his teeth, took out the gold medal from his arms, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor's gold medal is here, Fujian Navy Admiral and General Lu Tong, why don't you kneel down to meet the order?"

Lu Tong's face changed, and two eyes shot towards the gold medal. The words "Yu" were clearly written on the face of the card, with the nine dragon patterns. Lu Tong had seen this gold medal in Hu Zongxian, but he dared not be negligent. He pushed the gold mountain and turned the jade pillar, knelt on one knee, and still supported the sword in his right hand, and said respectfully: "I have seen the emperor, long live my emperor!"

Tianlang sneered in his heart. It would be over if the gold medal had been taken out. Is it necessary to take so much saliva? He said seriously: "General Lu, please get up. Now on behalf of the emperor, I will order the navy fleet to immediately follow the Black Shark where Wang Zhi is located to Dachen Island, and then attack Chen Sipan's fleet, in order to eliminate Chen Sipan's group in one battle."

The muscles on Lu Tong's face were beating violently, and his face was swollen and red, and he jumped up from the ground: "Tianlang, don't fake the Lord's order. If the emperor knew that you let Wang Zhi go today, you would definitely destroy your nine clans. I advise you to consider the consequences clearly!"

Tianlang replied without hesitation: "Of course I know the consequences. This decision was made after careful consideration. I, Tianlang, hated Japanese pirates more than anyone else. I, also wanted to kill Wang Zhi and Xu Hai before going to the island. But now the situation has changed. Chen Sipan, who is colluding with the traitor Yan Shifan, also the Shimazu family and the Spaniards, are the most dangerous enemies of my Ming Dynasty. General Lu, these right and wrong will be discussed later. Now you only need to follow orders!"

Lu Tong gritted his teeth, stomped his feet heavily, turned his head and shouted at the at a loss behind him, "Didn't you hear what Lord Tianlang said? Send a signal to the Black Shark, and the entire fleet will anchor and rush to Dachen Island!"

Tianlang smiled slightly: "The signal is to raise three red flags, and then wave each flag three times in a row."

On the Black Shark, Xu Hai was walking around Wang Zhi, who was sitting upright by the boat, nervously. Wang Zhi was a little annoyed to shake him, slowly opened his eyes and said, "Ahai, don't be so impatient!"

Xu Hai stopped and slapped the boat heavily. He said in a deep voice: "The Tianlang has been there for half an hour, and there is no movement there. What will happen?"

Wang Zhi smiled slightly: "Don't be impatient. Tianlang is not only very skilled in martial arts, but also has extraordinary wisdom. He is definitely not an ordinary person. Not to mention Lu Tong, even if Yan Shifan is on the ship, he can definitely get rid of danger. Even if he takes ten thousand steps, he did not tell Lu Tong. At least he would find a way to trick Lu Tong out three white flags and notify us to evacuate quickly. Ahai, you are so familiar with Tianlang. Do you think this person will deceive us and use us?"

Xu Hai smiled slightly: "In this world, I have only trusted Tianlang except for the boss and Cui Qiao. Although I don't have much contact with him, this person always gives me an inexplicable trust. If you are with him, you will feel very safe. Even if he sacrifices his life, he will protect us."

At this moment, the two sailors shouted in surprise: "Boss, look, red flag, red flag!"

Wang Zhibo jumped up, turned to look at the three red flags rising from Lu Tong's flagship opposite, and let out a long roar: "Children, turn to Dachen Island, let's break up with Chen Sipan!"

Tianlang stood at the bow of Lu Tong's flagship Jinghai. He had taken off his blood-stained clothes, washed his body with water, and asked the doctor on the boat to come and deal with the wound.

The white coat in front of the doctor was already stained with blood, his head was full of sweat, his hands were shaking slightly, and he was stitching on Tianlang's deep wound one by one. The fight just now was too intense, and the blood and sweat had already washed away the ointment that had been applied to the wound last night. Tianlang took advantage of this rare pre-war time to change the medicine and bandage the wound.

The sun had risen into the sky, shining on the bronze-colored skin of Tianlang. The masculine and toned muscles had clear lines, like copper and iron casting. The soldiers on the boat were envious.

Tianlang seemed to feel the pain of the silver needle passing through his wound with the wiring, nor could he feel half a pot of blood and abscess dripping from a copper basin under his armpit. He pointed his left hand at the Black Shark about a mile ahead and asked Lu Tong on the side: "General Lu, according to what you see, can I be a ship that is better than this Black Shark in the Ming Navy?"

Lu Tong said angrily: "Master Tianlang, since you have become friends with Wang Zhi, Wang Zhi's Japanese pirate gang will be recruited to become my Ming Navy in the future. I am afraid that Lu will only be able to get rid of his armor and return to the field and abdicate Mr. Wang to give up his wise men. Why do you care about this?"

Tianlang smiled slightly: "General Lu, don't worry, I'll tell you the truth. The reason I asked you to help Wang Zhi eliminate Chen Sipan is not that I really regard Wang Zhi as my own person. He is still the most dangerous and deadly enemy in this sea area, and there is still a possibility of turning against him in the future."

Lu Tong laughed, his laughter filled with a sarcastic tone: "Master Tianlang, you are really good at joking. You used the emperor's gold medal to destroy the plan carefully arranged by the old master of the cabinet, and eliminated Chen Sipan for Wang Zhi. But now he said that he would be enemies with him in the future. If the emperor listened to this, he would definitely take the head of your neck first. He said that raising enemies is light in self-respecting, and even if you convict you of the Japanese, you have nothing to say."

Tianlang knew that Lu Tong's anger had not subsided, and he was even more prejudiced to himself. He sighed: "General Lu, do you know that I chose Wang Zhi instead of Chen Sipan, because I chose Wang Zhi as a whole, just because the two evils were balanced and took the light. Chen Sipan could not make peace with us. He received the support of the Japanese and Spanish, and would only be more cruel. He robbed coastal towns more crazily and attacked the ocean-going trade ships we shipped to the South China Sea. You are the admiral of the Fujian Navy and have dealt with Chen Sipan. You should know his talent."

Lu Tong snorted heavily: "I know what kind of person Chen Sipan is, of course I know. I also know that he cannot truly submit to the court, but with his ability, it is in the same heaven and underground as Wang Zhi. It is easy to destroy Chen Sipan. But maybe there is only one chance to destroy Wang Zhi. Tianlang, do you really don't understand or do you not understand?"

The doctor finally finished the last stitch and began to wipe the sweat from his head. His assistant began to wrap a thick bandage on Tianlang's shoulders and then put a yellow powder on the march to replenish the air. Tianlang smiled slightly, and after these people were dealt with, he and Lu Tongdi were left on the front deck. Tianlang whispered: "General Lu, Chen Sipan is not scary, but what is scary is Yan Shifan. Do you understand?"

Lu Tong's face changed: "No matter how you say this, Tianlang, the little master is also running around to pacify the Japanese. No matter how he framed the loyal and kind in the court, this time, I really don't think he is planning for himself. He is rich enough to rival a country. As for making money from the Japanese?"

Tianlang sneered: "Yan Shifan is already rich enough to rival a country. This is true, but as long as the emperor wants to attack him, the wealth of the thousands of yuan, together with the lives of the Yan family, will be vain overnight, so Yan Shifan is connected with the Japanese. It is not to make money, but to find a way out for himself to take refuge in Japan in the future. He also went to Shuangyu Island for this, and wanted Wang Zhi to help him introduce the Shimazu family to the people."

Lu Tong couldn't speak for a long time, and finally sighed: "You are hostile to each other and they are also saying bad things about each other. My rough man surnamed Lu, I don't know who is right, but I still think that Chen Sipan is easy to deal with and can be kept for the future. Wang Zhi is too powerful, and this time it is a rare opportunity. It's best to destroy him. But what if we destroy Wang Zhi first and then Chen Sipan?"

Tianlang put a clean red sleeveless outfit next to him on his body and put a layer of soft leather armor on his back, and replied: "No, although Wang Zhi's Shuangyu Island has been captured, he has many subordinates outside the sea. If Wang Zhi is killed by us, his subordinates have no leader and no one can control him. He will definitely attack the coastal towns in the name of revenge for Wang Zhi. At that time, he will eliminate these bandits. I don't know how troublesome it will be, so this time I chose to save Wang Zhi and Xu Hai instead of taking the opportunity to take their lives."

Lu Tong said in a deep voice: "But we can let Chen Sipan ambush and eliminate Wang Zhi's subordinates first, and then destroy Chen Sipan. So don't you have to worry about these pirates?"

Tianlang stood up, the sea breeze blew his messy hair. He touched the mask on his face, which was still very firm, and he felt relieved and smiled: "General Lu, you may only think about military suppression of Japanese pirates, but since Tianlang came to the southeast, there have been many things that Tianlang has seen. He knows that as long as the sea ban exists for one day, even if Wang Zhi and Chen Sipan are eliminated, new Japanese pirates will still appear. Coastal fishermen rely on the sea to make a living, and they will inevitably go into the sea to become pirates under the incitement and leadership of leaders like Wang Zhi and Chen Sipan. Now there have been ways to collude with the Japanese and Folang Ji people. If someone does this, it is easy to do so. Therefore, Governor Hu said that to eliminate Japanese pirates, he still has to cut off the root cause and eradicate the soil where the Japanese pirates appeared.

Lu Tong nodded thoughtfully, but shook his head: "You said it well, but you just let Wang Zhi go, and you hope he can be so obedient in the future. Is it possible?"

Tianlang took a deep breath and said, "Wang Zhi is already the overlord of the sea, and he has no shortage of money and power. The only thing he wants to do is to return to his hometown and not be a lonely ghost on the sea. Xu Hai also has the same idea, so the two leaders are willing to accept the recruitment. He has never attacked the coastal towns for more than a year. It can be seen that their sincerity. In this battle of Shuangyu Island, Wang Zhi's hometown, which he has worked hard for many years, was destroyed, and the accumulated wealth was divided by the Japanese and Spanish. Even if he won, he would have no foreign aid and no capital to bargain with the court. So let Wang Zhi help us to clean up the bandits on the sea, slowly recruit them, and eliminate their power. This is the safest way."

"On the one hand, let these pirates do some business to support themselves, and on the other hand, let Wang Zhi's subordinates slowly disband and return home and become good people. This is the best way to solve the Japanese pirate problem that can be thought of now. General Lu, at this moment, you must not make a wrong choice!"

Lu Tong snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Tianlang, this is just your idea. Lu has known one for many years. We need to do things, but if something happens, it is the first to attack us. Even if this is what Governor Hu means, as long as something goes wrong in the future, such as Wang Zhishou and rebel again, you will also be the first person to lose your head. If you catch all these Japanese pirates and pirates today, then you will not blame you for anything happening."

"I don't understand why you don't choose a safe and secure way and have to take such a dangerous and extremely dangerous path. If you offend the little master like this, he will keep staring at your handle in the future. Even if Wang Zhi doesn't rebel, if his subordinates do something to betray me, the Ming Dynasty, you will still be impeached, and it will be considered light to lose your official position! I really don't understand what you are looking for?"

Tianlang laughed, and his laughter was filled with heroism and confidence: "What do you want? I hope that the coastal people of the Ming Dynasty can enjoy peace forever, and no longer have to worry! I no longer have to worry about being destroyed by the pirates and Japanese pirates! General Lu. I know that you are a military household for many years. Being a general is just following the path of your ancestors. What you care about is only your own official position and military achievements. But Tianlang doesn't want this flying fish suit. If I go against my conscience and just want to please my superiors, then it's better not to be the Jinyiwei!"

Lu Tong looked at Tianlang motionlessly, as if he was looking at a very creature coming from another world. After a long time, he sighed: "You have your own ideas, Lu admires it. But if Lu changed it to you, he would definitely not miss the opportunity to destroy Wang Zhi today. Forget it. I won't say much about these things, anyway, your determination has been made. I will answer your question just now. The Black Shark ship is fast and cannoned. Now, in order to keep up with our naval warship, they deliberately slowed down and only hung half of the sails. Even so, we can only barely catch up. In addition to the dozens of cannons on this ship, I, the Ming Navy, currently no ship can compete with the Black Shark."

"Even my flagship Jinghai, with four hundred soldiers and forty guns, but at sea artillery battles, no matter how strong the ship is, it cannot withstand the attack of artillery. You just fought the Destroyer, which proves that the Black Shark is better because of its rapid speed and flexible operation. The sailor has many years of experience and superb skills. My Jinghai is less than half of his speed. If you really want to fight, I am afraid that four or five Jinghai ships can deal with a black shark."

Tianlang frowned: "Is it really that powerful? Is it true that my dignified navy has no warship that can be fought against?"

Lu Tong nodded with certainty: "Yes, it's the new naval warship that Yu Dayou has newly trained and built. The same is true for the manufacturing of our Ming Dynasty warships. They are all based on the big blessed ships that Zheng He went to the South China Sea as a template. This ship is large and strong, and can carry hundreds of soldiers. It looks big and majestic, but it is clumsy, and its steering and speed are not outstanding. In addition, the navy's new recruits lack training and actual combat, and their ship-operating skills are far inferior to those of Wang Zhi's old sailors. So if you really want to fight, I'm afraid that General Yu's new fleet will not be Wang Zhi's opponent."

Lu Tong looked at the Black Shark that was slowly driving in front of him and sighed softly: "Actually, if Wang Zhi can really recruit my subordinates as you said, and his troops are organized into my Ming Navy, it is naturally an excellent choice. However, in this way, it will be difficult to arrange the thief as the official army, military post, editor, and official positions, and will also arouse dissatisfaction among other generals and officers. If the Japanese pirates get more and better military pay and equipment than regular troops, it is not ruled out that it will arouse the possibility of mutiny in other troops. I once mentioned this with Governor Hu, but he did not listen. After the two of us had a big argument, he drove me to the Fujian Navy, alas."

Tianlang's expression became heavier and he murmured: "It seems that Wang Zhi's power cannot be too strong, otherwise he will be uncontrollable in the future and will also make him feel rebellious."

Lu Tong's expression became very puzzled: "Tianlang, since you have chosen to trust Wang Zhi and said that he is willing to recruit peace, why are you thinking about military preparations for eliminating him? Isn't this a contradiction?"

Tianlang waved his hand: "Wang Zhi is the leader of the Japanese pirates after all, and most of his subordinates are brutal and cruel people. I can see this peace talk clearly. He and Xu Hai really want to recruit peace and surrender, but their subordinates want to be bandits at sea for the rest of their lives, so we still have to make preparations. Besides, if Wang Zhi and Xu Hai have a few shortcomings in the future, their subordinates will scatter island beasts and become bandits, and they will no longer be controlled. They will definitely attack all the coastal areas without restrictions, so they must be prepared for military elimination."

Lu Tong said coldly: "If that is the case, I am afraid that if I want to defeat them in the water war, I will have to wait at least ten years later, and I will build a large number of new ships, such as the Black Shark, which is as fast as the Black Shark and has strong firepower. This requires huge costs. It is likely to take several years of Jiangnan taxes. This is absolutely unacceptable to the emperor, Tianlang, so I advise you to find a way to make Wang Zhi honest and obedient and not to rebel, otherwise it will not be a good thing for the country or you."

Tianlang smiled slightly: "Thank you General Lu for your reminder. Tianlang keeps it in mind."
