Chapter Fifty-Six: Two Factions
The so-called King Hui is the self-proclaimed name of the famous pirate Wang Zhi.
It was on the southeast coast of the current Ming Dynasty.
The famous pirate leader.
He is also one of the leaders of the two major pirate powers.
Most of them are really Wang Zhi.
I heard that Zhu Xiaoer is from Wang Zhi's group.
Zhang Luoan felt relieved.
There are currently two factions of pirates.
One side is the trade faction headed by Wang Zhi.
Their purpose was not to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.
But through your own strength.
Forcing the Ming Dynasty to reopen the sea ban.
Maritime trade is allowed.
A common black marketeer.
Desperate refugees.
They all belong to this faction.
On the other side are the hardliners led by Xu Hai.
The main goal is to capture the wealth of the Ming Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, I just don’t feel like doing business is fun enough.
It's more comfortable to grab it directly.
So when I found out that Zhu Xiaoer belonged to Wang Zhi's group.
Zhang Luo then understood that things could continue.
He wants to buy brown sugar pills from Cochinluo City.
The relevant underground businessmen must be found.
The best way now is through Zhu Xiaoer.
He joined a pirate gang on Dinyan Island.
Doing business with Wang Zhi's group.
It's definitely better than dealing with Xu Hai.
Zhang Luo then asked:
"How do you usually contact each other?"
Hui Wang Wang Zhi was a famous pirate king on the sea.
I wish Xiaoer dozens of homeless households.
I definitely have never really met Wang Zhi.
Contacted Zhu Xiaoer.
It's just a small gang under Wang Zhi.
I hope Xiaoer won’t hide it anymore.
Directly put yourself into what you would encounter after being a pirate.
I told Zhang Luo everything.
After Zhu Xiaoer and his gang killed the supervisor sent by the prefect.
Then a member of the pirate gang came to Dinyan Island.
Hope they can be included.
Zhu Xiaoer was arrogant and unwilling to surrender.
The pirate didn't force him.
Instead, he chatted with Zhu Xiaoer for a while.
Tell Zhu Xiaoer.
Let him settle down on Dinyan Island first.
Think about it for a few days before deciding whether to join.
The leader of the Japanese pirates was named Wang Yan.
They are a pirate gang that is somewhat famous near Quanzhou.
The pirate who came to contact Zhu Xiaoer called himself Quan Laosi.
Long and very thin.
He is the fourth leader of Wang Yan's group.
Quan Laosi and Zhu Xiaoer agreed on a method of joining.
If you decide to join Wang Yan's staff.
Just go to the ghost market near Zhenhaiwei and set up a stall.
Someone will come and take them to see Wang Yan.
Dinyan Island is too small.
The island is full of tidal flats.
There isn't much good land for planting.
Wang Yan was sure that Zhu Xiaoer and his group could not survive for a few days.
will take the initiative to join them.
But he didn't expect Zhu Xiaoer's identity as a furnace owner.
When a group of them ran away, they took some salt-making guys with them.
Make your own salt and sell it in the ghost market.
This allowed dozens of people to settle down on the island.
Not long after that, Zhang Luo used a trick to get him out of the way.
Zhang Luo memorized all the information in his mind.
Wang Yan and his gang are relatively peaceful.
All they do is underground smuggling and selling stolen goods.
They are different from the hard-liners who are always ready at sea to kill and rob on land.
Zhang Luo asked again:
"Are your salt guys on the island still there?"
Zhu Xiaoer quickly replied:
"They are still there. We won't bring any salt-making tools with us when we leave the island."
"In three days I will send someone to join you on Dinyan Island."
"Bring all the salt-making tools on the island to the guardhouse."
I wish Xiaoer knew Zhang Luo’s method of refining salt.
I understand Zhang Luo’s thoughts.
He arched his hands and said:
"Sir, dozens of us can make salt."
"Do you need us to help?"
The salt fields of the Ming Dynasty used the boiling method to make salt.
When boiling salt, you need to add brine.
Brine was considered a rare commodity in the Ming Dynasty.
It is firmly controlled by the government.
Only with brine can it have the status of official salt.
Zhang Luo still can't completely trust Zhu Xiaoer.
He only said to Zhu Xiaoer:
"My method of making salt is very different from yours."
"You'd better work here first."
Zhu Xiaoer didn't dare to say anything more.
I had no choice but to greet my subordinates and start clearing wasteland again.
Come back from the wasteland on the edge.
Zhang Luo walked to the ancestral hall.
I saw Iron Bar Three who was locked in the house.
Iron Stick San looked lazy.
His body bones are really strong.
The broken leg is getting better again.
Tiegunsan looked at Zhang Luo walking towards him with a silly smile and said:
"Why, the little scholar remembered that I, Iron Stick Three, are here?"
Zhang Luo is very wary of Iron Rod Three.
He looked at Iron Stick Three and asked directly:
"Do you know Wang Yan?"
"Wang Yan? Isn't he a pirate from Quanzhou?"
"Why, do you have any plans to rebel?"
Tiegun San narrowed his eyes and said:
"Wang Yanxiang has always been thirsty for talents."
"Young scholar, if you go, you will have to find a second boss no matter what."
Zhang Luo didn't want to hear any more nonsense.
Said directly:
"Do you have any friendship with Wang Yan?"
"Do you know his details?"
Tiegun San continued to sit on the wooden chair and said:
"The little scholar is really forgetful."
"As I said last time, he is a famous figure in the county."
"I've seen all three iron rods."
"If your reputation is average, you have to give me a few points of iron rod."
"Alas, I am locked up in the ancestral hall every day."
"Everyone is feeling numb. Do you think it can work..."
Zhang Luo understood that Iron Stick Three wanted to make conditions.
He said:
"Just tell me what you want to do."
Tiegun San laughed a few more times and said:
"I, a big old man, don't have any other requests."
"I just want to be the same as before."
"I can listen to you, a scholar, lecture."
"How many more hours of sunshine can I get every day?"
Zhang Luo thought for a while.
His current strength is not inferior to Iron Rod Three.
Besides, he also broke a leg.
Walking requires crutches.
It's easy to handle him by yourself.
There is nothing wrong with letting him come out.
Zhang Luo said:
"I agree to your request."
Iron Stick Three nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Wang Yan, he was originally a servant of the Lu family in Quanzhou."
"Because he is smart and capable, he was promoted by the Lu family to be a commander on a sea ship."
"I didn't know what crime I committed later."
"He went to sea to become a pirate."
Zhang Luo got the general idea.
This Wang Yan was originally a servant of a large family.
He was respected by his family as a captain.
He became a pirate for no apparent reason.
I'm afraid the relationship with the Lu family in Quanzhou is causing trouble.
It should be that Wang Yan is the Lu family's tool for maritime smuggling.
This situation is common in the Southeast.
Be it pirates or Japanese pirates.
Everyone wants peace and war.
Some people are willing to make peace with others and make money.
Just following the wishes of some people in the Ming Dynasty.
Maritime trade is now very profitable.
All the major families in the coastal state capitals will be more or less involved.
Zhang Wangyan’s agent model.
It was under such circumstances that it was born.
Listen to Iron Bar Sany’s introduction.
Zhang Luo is more confident about meeting Wang Yan.
To be clear, Wang Yan is just an underground businessman.
As long as you can get money.
What kind of cooperation cannot be negotiated?
Iron Stick Three said again;
"In my opinion, this Zhenhai Guard just earns a living by guarding the golden circle."
“Such a remote and good location.”
"As long as the ships at sea are allowed to dock."
"Isn't this money just a lot of money?"
"I think you, little scholar, have figured it out, right?"
