Women's clothing in the Ming Dynasty

After many inquiries, Hu Zongxian learned the name of the concubine who wrote the letter for Xu Hai.This girl's name is Wang Cuiqiao. She was originally the daughter of an official family.Later, because of his father's crimes, he was sold to a brothel. He was once famous in the Qinhuai River.Xu Hai also spent a lot of energy in order to get her, and since he had her, he basically dispersed all the women in the backyard, and the relationship between the two was very good.

Hu Zongxian tried his best, and finally managed to talk to Wang Cuiqiao.After that, Li Chengfeng paid out of his own pocket and prepared a large number of gifts, just to please Wang Cuiqiao.Unlike Xu Hai, Wang Cuiqiao has long been tired of running around and hiding, and just wants to live a good life.Hu Zongxian grasped this point and often persuaded without any trace, which made Wang Cuiqiao blow pillow wind to Xu Hai every day.Xu Hai regards Wang Cuiqiao as his darling, and he has been arguing with Chen Dong and Ye Ma recently, the balance in his heart is gradually tilting.

But based on this alone, it is still far from letting him defect to the court, and a crucial blow is still needed.At this time, maybe it was God's blessing that Hu Zongxian discovered an old acquaintance——Liu Changgui from Xiangshan County.

It turned out that Hu Zongxian and Yu Dayou made a big fuss at his birthday banquet that day, Liu Changgui became more and more angry, and directly pointed the finger at Wang Zhi.It happened that he was in the pearl business, and a competitor recently went to sea, and that person defected to Wang Zhi, so he wrote to Xu Hai, hoping that he would teach his opponent a lesson.Hu Zongxian intercepted the letter secretly, and hid a page privately, concealing the relationship between that person and Wang Zhi.

Xu Hai took the letter, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, Liu Changgui was his brother-in-law, and he was filial in his daily life, so he still had to give some face, so he sent someone to snatch the fleet.

This hit a hornet's nest, Wang Zhi was furious, I'm a pirate, but I'm just doing some business, and someone dared to rob me!But after all, he is cunning and scheming, and he is also afraid of Xu Hai's power.I didn't take any action, but wrote a letter to Li Chengfeng, telling him that Xu Hai had made a big move recently and planned to rape a small town near Hangzhou, and asked him to pay more attention.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a murder with a borrowed knife. When Mao Haifeng brought the letter with a face of guilt, Li Chengfeng not only did not get angry, but comforted him.In this way, the other party was even more embarrassed, Mao Haifeng said: "My lord, there is someone I can help, as long as I don't violate my conscience, Haifeng will die!"

Li Chengfeng smiled: "Actually, I really have something to trouble you. Xu Hai is very powerful. If the government wants to confront him head-on, the chances of winning are not very good. Please write him a letter of persuasion. At the critical moment, let us take a break. "

Mao Haifeng did not doubt that there was him, so he happily followed suit.

When the people left, Li Chengfeng put away his smile, turned his head and said calmly to the people behind him: "It's time to see the real chapter, order to go down and fight."

"Yes!" Everyone was extremely excited, it was finally coming!

……

Although he was blessed by wolf soldiers and General Qi trained well, after all, Xu Hai has been in business for many years, has a large number of people and excellent weapons, and the battle situation is very stalemate.

At this time, the previous arrangements finally came in handy. When Xu Hai intercepted Chen Dong's surrender letter to the government, he couldn't believe his eyes.

"General, there must be fraud in this! Chen Dong has known you for many years, so it is impossible for him to break his promise!" The confidant around advised.

"Mr. is right, but Chen Dong and the general had a lot of quarrels before, so I have to guard against it." Hu Zongxian added fuel to the side.

Just when Xu Hai was hesitating, another report from his subordinates came from outside, saying that there was an envoy from the government asking to see him.Xu Hai asked him to bring people in.

When the envoy met Xu Hai, he saluted first, followed by the customary persuasion to surrender.Then he didn't wait for anyone to reply, and said directly: "General Xu must seize the opportunity. Now that Wang Zhi and Chen Dong have surrendered, if you continue to persist, I'm afraid the final score will be settled on you."

"What!? Wang Zhi also surrendered?" Xu Hai was shocked.

The messenger smiled and handed Mao Haifeng the letter he had written before.Xu Hai saw that it was cloudy and sunny in the future, why, one or two surrendered, and he was only taken advantage of?

In fact, if it was just one thing, Xu Hai could still hold his breath, but Li Chengfeng had calculated the time accurately, and every step was accurate, so Xu Hai was a little confused.At this time, Ye Ma came to him to discuss the division of accounts. Xu Hai was cruel and suspicious by nature, thinking that since he planned to surrender, he would always hand in the certificate of surrender, so he tied Ye Ma up.

In the end, he brought his subordinates and family members together to find Li Chengfeng.

This was an extremely strange surrender. Although Xu Hai seemed subdued on the surface, he led a large army to surround the city and shouted loudly outside: "Xu Hai, please come and surrender, open the city quickly!" The door." This is not here to surrender, it is obviously to shake the prestige!

The other officials were trembling with fright, but Li Chengfeng didn't change his face, and said to the people around him indifferently: "Go and open the door and let people in." Everyone dared not resist, but they were all ready to escape.

The moment Xu Hai saw Li Chengfeng, he was really convinced.

I saw that the other party was wearing casual clothes and only brought two followers. Facing the thousands of troops behind him, he remained calm and calm.

But Xu Hai is a thief after all, even if he surrendered, he still made a lot of demands, such as granting him a title, giving him a large sum of gold, silver and jewelry, and ordering Wang Cuiqiao... Li Chengfeng agreed without thinking.Because he knew that Xu Hai, who left the sea and came to the shore, was just meat on the chopping board, and the court officials would definitely not let him go, and it would be okay to give him something to comfort him.

Just as everyone was recruiting Xu Hai's army, news came from behind.One of Xu Hai's companions, Chen Dong, saw that the situation was over, so he fought back desperately and led troops to Tongxiang, hoping to occupy the land and become king.

Tongxiang is the rear of the southeast, and many people's relatives are placed there.Qi Jiguang's face was pale, and he tremblingly said: "Jiaojiao...Jiaojiao is in Tongxiang! I'm going to save her!" As he spoke, he was about to run out.

In the end, he was pulled back anyway, and Li Chengfeng persuaded: "What's the use of you going alone, wait for me to rectify it, and send troops immediately, your wife is very skilled in martial arts, auspicious people have their own talents, don't worry, nothing will happen. "

However, when the army arrived in Tongxiang, they were dumbfounded by what they saw.Not only was nothing wrong, Wang Yuejiao saw the critical situation, directly seized the command in the city, led the troops to beat Chen Dong to death, and captured many important figures of the other side.

Ignoring the scene of someone throwing himself into his wife's arms and weeping bitterly, Li Chengfeng and his men went to check the battle situation together.

In this way, the second largest gang of pirates that had been in the southeast for many years was disintegrated without a trace.

As soon as Xu Hai was recruited, some small forces attached to him also fell apart. Some went ashore incognito and waited for opportunities, and some joined other gangs to make a living.Although Li Chengfeng arranged everything early, he still felt that there were not enough people.At this moment, Wang Zhi actually helped solve many difficulties. The pirate leader is worthy of being a pirate leader, and he is absolutely sure of dealing with those people, which saves the government a lot of worry.

Li Chengfeng has always repaid his kindness, and he must not let people waste their efforts in vain.So he inquired in private about what Wang Zhi wanted, but he actually found a breakthrough.

It turned out that as early as many years ago, because Wang Zhi's smuggling business was getting bigger and bigger, the government listed him as a fugitive suspect and locked up his mother and son.Wang Zhi mistakenly thought that his family members were dead, so he never went ashore again.Li Chengfeng found Wang Zhi's family members from the cell, not only released them, but also provided them with delicious food and drink. When this matter came to Wang Zhi's ears, his cold heart finally began to shake.

In the fifth year of Jiajing, Wang Zhi personally led thousands of people, drove several large ships, and equipped with various guns, and sailed into the coast of Zhejiang, asking to negotiate with Li Chengfeng.

Wang Zhi's visit this time was very sincere. Although he was superficially powerful, he had already greeted the government in private, and even tied up several Japanese names—they were also the masterminds behind the push for Japanese ronin to invade the coast.

Li Chengfeng also prepared a very grand welcome ceremony, Wang Zhi went ashore, and both sides sent hostages to both sides.

After entertaining Wang Zhi according to the highest standards, after drinking and eating, Wang Zhi didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Master Li, you have seen my sincerity, and I ask you to understand it, so what does the court mean?"

Li Chengfeng drank a glass of wine slowly: "Well... Although there is no clear document yet, but eight or nine are close to ten, the court agreed to open the sea ban."

After fighting for so many years, it was only for this reason. Even Wang Zhi, who is so thoughtful, couldn't help but change his face, "This is true!"

Li Chengfeng nodded: "But... At the beginning, it is still the same as before. Only three ports, Ningbo, Quanzhou, and Guangdong, will be opened, and we still have to come a little bit."

Regarding this point, Wang Zhi also understands, after all, it is the first time to do business, one should be more prudent.

"In addition," Li Chengfeng said: "In terms of taxation, we need to renegotiate."

Hearing this, Wang Zhi paused for a moment. As we all know, most of Daming's businesses do not charge taxes, and now they are planning to start this?He looked at Li Chengfeng suspiciously.

With a helpless smile, Li Chengfeng said: "Otherwise, what is the reason for the imperial court to open the sea ban? But Boss Wang, don't worry, the court is still discussing this matter, and there must be a more reasonable amount. In addition, I have already reported to the Holy Majesty , Asking Boss Wang for an identity to be responsible for the export of certain things is also a reward for Boss Wang's dedication to the country."

This is equivalent to letting him monopolize something. Although the cost is huge, it is still not worth mentioning compared to Wang Zhi's significance.With the re-opening of maritime trade, everything is in the exploratory stage. It is really important to have someone like Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi also knew this in his heart, so he was confident.Although you will have to pay taxes to the court in the future, compared to the ones you used to smuggle up and down to spend

, but it was just a drop in the bucket, he finally acquiesced.

The author has something to say: Although Wang Cuiqiao is not well-known in China, many people in the world know it.

Because there is a novel in Vietnam called "The Legend of Golden Cloud Wings".The status of this book in Vietnam is comparable to "A Dream of Red Mansions". It tells about Wang Cuiqiao's life, and basically everyone in Vietnam knows it.

I finally finished writing... I will go back tomorrow
