Chapter 198 Pirates Go North
He Yuansheng's answer surprised Li Shancai because Chu Zhongping was the leader of the Zhejiang Party, and his attitude could influence the entire Zhejiang Party.
So He Yuansheng's words were almost a breakup with the Zhejiang Party and did not leave any affection.
Some time ago, the two sides maintained superficial harmony, and even Li Shancai stopped paying food and wages from Zhejiang garrisons. He Yuansheng just wrote to ask, and there was no big fight at all.
Therefore, He Yuansheng's change in attitude surprised Li Shancai and various speculations arose in his heart.
"Governor Li, this marquis can compromise on some things for the sake of the overall situation, but it's not without a bottom line!"
Seeing Li Shancai's strange expression, He Yuansheng spoke again, his tone full of coldness.
"Since the marquis insisted on his own, I will say goodbye!"
When he said this, Li Shancai had no other choice but to turn around and leave.
But he had deep worries in his heart.
He Yuansheng's behavior today made him feel that the situation was not good. After returning to the governor's yamen, he immediately wrote two letters to the Wang family and Chu Zhongping in the capital.
The head of the Wang family, who received the letter, suddenly changed his face. He asked Wang Lihuan and Wang Liji again to discuss countermeasures.
"He Yuansheng did not give anyone face, and even Shangshu Chu was not taken seriously by him..."
The tone of the Wang family leader was very serious, and there was a hint of worry.
"Does things go slow?" Wang Lihuan spoke, his face also changed a little.
"There is no need for this. I think it is not only impossible to slow down, but also to speed up Jingyuan!" Wang Liji said.
"But if you really do something, there is no way out!" Wang Lihuan said.
What the three of them were talking about was about Wang Jingyuan, who led the pirates to the north.
Moreover, the Wang family had made a decision. After Wang Jingyuan led the pirates north, he immediately attacked Zhenhaiwei to deal with the Zhejiang Navy, and at the same time destroyed the warships under construction.
However, He Yuansheng's attitude made Wang Lihuan a little worried, because once Wang Jingyuan took action, both sides would have an unrecognizable hatred, and He Yuansheng might attack the Wang family.
After all, the entire Wang family is on land and is still under surveillance, so there is no way out.
"As long as the warship is destroyed and all the Zhejiang Navy is destroyed, there is no way out, it is He Yuansheng, what can he do to us!"
Wang Liji was very disdainful and his eyes were full of evil light.
"Our home is here, what if He Yuansheng takes action?"
"Our Wang family is a family of officials. Will He Yuansheng dare to take action?"
After a pause, he added: "What's more, the Zhejiang Navy was destroyed. Jing Yuan immediately accepted the imperial edict from Fujian. Even if He Yuansheng was dissatisfied, he could only pinch his nose and accept it."
The Wang family is a family of officials, so they will naturally not be reckless in their work. Therefore, after they planned to destroy the Zhejiang Navy, they asked Wang Lishan to give the pirates.
By then, these pirates can transform into legal officers.
The Zhejiang Navy was destroyed, and even if He Yuansheng was angry, he had to compromise.
"The words of Li Ji are beneficial, but the plans cannot change?"
The head of the Wang family spoke, and said that he supported Wang Liji. After all, the interests of sea trade are huge. The Wang family has always wanted to dominate the southeast coast, so naturally they will not give up the opportunity.
"But what should we do in the current situation?" Wang Lihuan asked.
This statement made Wang family leader and Wang Liji frown, because they didn't expect that the entire Zhejiang Party would put pressure on each other, and He Yuansheng ignored it.
"Even if Lord Chu comes forward, He Yuansheng doesn't give face. I'm afraid this problem will not be solved at the moment."
Chu Zhongping is the Minister of Personnel and the highest official position in the Zhejiang Party. It doesn’t work for him to appear, and others won’t do it. Therefore, the head of the Wang family had a deep sense of helplessness.
"He Yuansheng did this just to warn us. At worst, he could just hold back his breath and resolve the matter after Jing Yuan took action."
Wang Liji made this suggestion because the current Wang family has no other way.
"That's all!"
There was a deep loss in the tone of the Wang family's clan leader. He really didn't expect that the dignified Wang family would be bullied to the door.
This is also a family of aristocratic families. They are used to being arrogant and always allow themselves to set fires and not others to light the lamps.
No one of the heads of the Wang family and Wang Liji had ever thought about how lawless their actions were.
Only Wang Lihuan's face was a little worried and his brows were frowning high.
Three days later, Song Tianxiang came to the inn and reported to He Yuansheng: "The Marquis, the one-eyed dragon entrenched in Fujian, has gone north."
"What?"
He Yuansheng was shocked and did not expect to send someone to surround the Wang family, and the other party dared to do so.
"The one-eyed dragon went north and brought most of its subordinates and hundreds of ships. It seems that it wants to dominate the southeast coast!"
The navy had eyeliners among pirates, so he noticed this news in time, and Song Tianxiang was extremely smart and could naturally guess the purpose of the one-eyed dragon.
In fact, Song Tianxiang has always been particularly careful about the Wang family, otherwise he would not have noticed the relationship between the Wang family and the one-eyed dragon. It was just that the Wang family was powerful and he was humble and had no choice but to speak lightly.
"I'm sure I dare not take any ruthless moves!"
He Yuansheng spoke resentfully, with a little anger in his tone.
Seeing He Yuansheng so annoyed, Song Tianxiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Marquis, I still have a concern. Do you know whether to say it?"
"explain?"
"If the Wang family wants to dominate the coast, the Zhejiang Navy is in their eyes. Especially the warships being built, they will feel like they are on their backs and their subordinates are worried..."
Speaking of this, Song Tianxiang didn't continue talking, but there was a look of worry on his face.
"Do they dare to attack the navy?"
He Yuansheng asked, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.
"The Zhejiang Navy is so down and out, and the Wang family has put in it, and it has done a lot of effort?"
The Zhejiang Navy is the most important maritime force on the southeast coast. In theory, it should be valued by the court.
What's more, there are a large number of Japanese pirates and pirates on the southeast coast, so the court should pay more attention to it.
Even if the court does not pay attention to it, the governor's yamen should pay attention to it for local security.
But the Zhejiang Navy is the least popular army, and the officials seem to have forgotten this place.
The culprit of all this was the Wang family in Hangzhou. They used various means for their own benefit to make the navy fall into this field, so that even pirates could not defeat them.
Song Tianxiang's words made He Yuansheng serious because he suddenly realized that the Wang family wanted to dominate the southeast coast, and the Zhejiang Navy was undoubtedly a huge obstacle.
"It seems that you need to be on guard!"
Next, the two of them had a secret discussion, and Song Tianxiang said goodbye and left.
"I hope you don't have such courage and don't force me to kill someone!"
After Song Tianxiang left, He Yuansheng whispered to himself in a low voice, with a bit of murderous intent on his face.
The Wang family has become a stumbling block for He Yuansheng, and they did not attack him just to maintain stability.
However, the Wang family really dared to attack the navy, and He Yuansheng would not continue to worry. After all, he has been very annoyed recently and wants to start a killing.
More than ten days ago, He Yuansheng conveyed military orders to Ma Yuan and asked him to come to Hangzhou to report his duties. Unexpectedly, the Fujian general opened his resistance to the order under the pretext of being busy with Fujian's military affairs.
Although He Yuansheng had bad intentions, Ma Yuan's approach was also very bold.
If it weren't for the concern that the Zhejiang Party would rebound strongly, He Yuansheng really wanted to use this as an excuse to send troops into Fujian and take down the Fujian general.
But Ma Yuan dared to do this, even with the support of the Zhejiang Party, He Yuansheng did not dare to act rashly.
Wang Lishan of the Wang family is the main figure of the Zhejiang Party. How could He Yuansheng not have the intention to kill?
At the same time, a huge fleet appeared on the sea east of Zhejiang.
The size of the fleet is by no means inferior to Fujiwara's heyday, and the number of people is higher.
This fleet was all hung with skeleton flags, and they were the pirates under the command of the One-Eyed Dragon.
On a main warship, a middle-aged man stood at the bow of the ship, looking straight at the north, revealing a look of remembrance.
"I'm finally back!" After a while, the middle-aged man sighed.
"Dad, this time we go north, are we not leaving?"
Wang Huaidong asked.
Wang Huaidong is Wang Jingyuan's son and his assistant. He is less than 20 years old this year.
"I won't leave anymore. In the future, the southeast coast will be the world of our father and son!"
He paused and then said, "When my father completely controls the southeast coast, he can set up his own business and no longer has to listen to those old people!"
Since the power he mastered became stronger and stronger, Wang Jingyuan's ambitions became greater and greater, and then he brought his son to his side and carefully cultivated him.
After all, this pirate team cannot be without heirs. If he does not raise his son, he will sooner or later replace others.
You should know that the Wang family is also a big family, and the internal competition is very fierce. Wang Jingyuan doesn’t want his more than ten years of hard work to fall into the hands of others.
However, the situation was stable in the past, and Wang Jingyuan's ambition was still within controllable range, at least he did not have the idea of establishing a self-employed person.
But Haimao has a lot of interests, and seeing a large amount of money being taken away by the family, Wang Jingyuan is naturally unwilling to accept it.
It was just Fujiwara's existence that forced him to rely on the Wang family, so he endured it all the time.
Now that Fujiwara is over, the Wang family asked him to go north and attack the Zhejiang Navy. Wang Jingyuan's ambitions arise again and he wants to get rid of the Wang family.
Because the current Wang family is a kind of constraint on Wang Jingyuan, not only does it help less, but it also needs his help in many places.
"There are indeed many old people in the family. If it weren't for them, we would have dealt with Fujiwara, how could we wait until today!"
Wang Huaidong echoed, his tone very dissatisfied.
In fact, the Wang family and his son had long been determined to go north, defeating Fujiwara Manta and dominate the southeast coast.
But some people in the Wang family believed that the Japanese pirates were cruel and had strong combat power, and fighting hard with them was not worth the loss, so they did not agree.
The Wang family disagreed, and Wang Jingyuan and his son had no choice. After all, they did not dominate the southeast coast and did not have the confidence to turn against the family.
