On June 21st, I carried a sedan chair into Wang Tong's mansion next to the Haihe Commercial District.

Although Wang Tong's residence was protected by guards, it was not too strict. After all, there were troops stationed nearby, and the mansion itself also had guards and personal soldiers. It was also in the heart of Tianjin Guards, so you can rest assured about security.

The guards were not too strict, so the people near the Haihe River knew exactly what guests came to Wang Tong and who were in and out. They saw the arrival of the Hu Wei Army and the Jinyiwei in the morning and afternoon, and another sedan chair was carried in nearby evening.

Could it be that Lord Wang took a concubine and invited his colleagues to drink at night? Our Lord Wang is very hard-working on weekdays, so can't stand it?

The people are so lively that they are spread everywhere, and local forces have also sent to inquire about the news and see the direction of the wind. When they know the news, they communicate with each other, and they all wonder whether they will take the initiative to come to the door to give gifts and congratulate, which is also a good opportunity for communication.

People in Tianjin Wei only want to stay here for a longer time, and they don’t know how Lord Wang punches and kicks, and they have created so much wealth.

In the second half of May, the livestock and fur on the grassland began to arrive in Tianjin Wei in large quantities. It is said that Sanjiang Commercial Bank has obtained trade in Jizhen and Xuanfu. This is a very big business. If you can get a piece of the pie, you will be inexpensive.

If the rumors outside come to Wang Tong and the person in charge around him, they will definitely be laughing.

On the evening of June 21, the main hall was brightly lit, and Wang Tong, the four regiments of the Huwei Army, and the senior military officials under Wang Tong gathered here.

The sedan chair stopped at the hall door. After lifting the curtain, two personal soldiers stepped forward and took the person out. They were thin and shrunk, but it was the sea monkey. After Wang Tong saw it, he said loudly:

"Bring it up!"

Seeing a group of people sitting in the hall, Hai Monkey was a little scared. He was scolded by the soldiers on both sides, and then stumbled up, crossed the threshold, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"This man is the sea monkey entrenched in Incheon, that is, he snatched Liang Daocheng's ship. What's your name? Where is your location on Shen Jun's side??"

Wang Tong briefly introduced two sentences and asked:

"When the master said, the little one is Liu Mingyong, because he was born with thin skinny, he was called the nickname Hai Monkey. The villain is in the boss... No, he is a wave under the man Shen Fang..."

Speaking of this, everyone sitting there looked at each other, and Li Hutou asked:

"What is a wave?"

"…….. The leader of a few hundred people is called a wave, and those with more than a thousand people are called two waves, and Shen Wang is three waves, and the three waves are the only one!!"

Wang Tong and others listened carefully. After Hai Monkey said that, he knelt down there. Wang Tong pondered for a while and asked:

"When a Japanese official asked Shen Wang for a boat craftsman, Shen Wang was unwilling to do so. Later, the official built his own ship, and Shen Wang had a lot of complaints. However, Shen Wang had nearly one million taels of industry on Tianjin Wei's side. Will he plunder the merchant ships entering and leaving Tianjin Wei on the sea because of shipbuilding?"

The problem is quite complicated. The sea monkey hesitated for a long time before speaking:

"Now Shen Wang is also arguing about this matter. More than a dozen leaders of more than two waves, and Shen Wang, in addition to the industries that can be seen on the surface, their own and their powerful confidants have other businesses in Tianjin Wei, and they also use big ships to traffic in cargo!"

Speaking of this, Wang Tong nodded with a smile and said to the people beside him:

"As similar to what I expected, robbing thieves at sea and risking their lives. If you have a profitable business, they are naturally willing to do business and make money. Moreover, these pirate ships have many, and they control several important routes. They are the largest maritime merchants at sea."

Everyone nodded and thoughtfully, Tangshan interface beside him said:

"The more ships come to Tianjin harbor in the south, the more ships there will be. Each ship has to pay water to the Shenwu side and collect money by passing by. The money is simple to make money, which is much simpler than killing a life or death."

This is also the truth at sea. Everyone nodded again. The sea monkey below hesitated and kowtowed and said:

"All the masters are telling the truth, but the people who are close to Chen Wang are getting richer and richer. The young people have a wave of storm, but there is no good or bad to make. They want to go to sea to do some business, but Chen Wang is not allowed to live there, and it is quite difficult..."

The sea monkey paused, gritted her teeth and said again:

"Like Gu Laohu back then, he led people to rob him. He was like a young man who didn't know how to live or die, so he found some floating food in Goryeo."

"Oh? Since that's the case, are the sailors who are in vain still convinced?"

Hearing the word "sailor", the monkey was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it, she understood the word. She kowtowed and replied:

"When the master said, I have always been fed by my own soldiers and horses. Moreover, he has a good relationship with the Japanese pirates. If he really wants to do something, the Japanese pirates will send troops to help him. That's it, and they can keep suppressing everywhere."

Wang Tongliuo was a little disappointed and asked again:

"Are this group of people stationed in Pinghu?"

"If you want to go back to the master, Chen Wu's team will be in Hirado, and the rest of them have them in Zhejiang and Fujian."

Speaking of "hidou", everyone in the room had a look of confusion on their faces except Tangshan. Li Tao asked hesitantly:

"Sir, have you never heard of the place name Hirado?"

Seeing Wang Tong signaling, Tang Shan spoke again and explained:

"Dear sirs, Hirado is the place to the west of the south of Japan, closer to Nanzhili and Zhejiang."

"How many soldiers and ships can be used in a silence?"

"... The villain joined the gang for a short time and had to eat some leftovers with Erdaolang. However, five years ago, Daming Kyushu fought with Daming of the Four Kingdoms, and invited Chen Jun to help. Shen Jun led 400 ships and 6,500 people to help. Daming of the Japanese was frightened..."

Wang Tong had already learned a lot of things on the boat. This time he asked questions and answered them in front of everyone, but he only made them understand more in detail. But when he heard these again, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Liu Yong, stay in the house honestly and don't come out. Maybe it's useful to you. If you are thinking about it, it's your luck to cut off your head. Take it on!"

Hai Monkey quickly kowtowed and thanked him, and entered the sedan chair again, and was carried out by his personal soldiers. Not to mention how the people watching the fun outside were thinking about the sedan chair when they saw it carrying it out, the man left the house and started to discuss it.

Everyone was talking, but Wang Tong asked Tang Shan first and said:

"When will the 300,000 taels of silver sent to Guangdong arrive?"

Tang Shan roughly thought about it and said:

"I heard from the sea merchants that the sea breeze is good this year and there are no big waves. By the way, I am sure to go to Guangdong in August."

There were too many accidents when sailing on the sea, and Tang Shan didn't dare to say anything too sure. Wang Tong nodded, and Tan Bing beside him said in a deep voice:

"Sir, if he is here in Hirado, he has many ships and soldiers. When he comes to cross the sea, he will go ashore to rob and escape if he loses. If he is defeated, he will go on the boat and escape. We really have no way to deal with them.

"Only a thousand days of thieves, there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. We have only 6,000 or 7,000 people who can be used. Tianjin Guards are already embarrassed to set up defenses everywhere. There are so many forces there to be placed by the beach. If this involves you, there may be other chaos..."

"Sir, this sneak attack on Incheon is quite effective. Why don't you gather the ship to Incheon again?"

Tan Bing opened this head, and everyone started talking. Wang Tong waved his hand and said in a stern voice:

"If we build a complete line of defense on the beach, at least twice the army will be expanded. Now that warships cannot be built, they can only use turrets and fire ships, which will cost manpower. Now we have taken advantage of many loopholes and doubled the army. I don't know what troubles are caused by the Ministry of War and the court."

Everyone knows this situation, Wang Tong said again:

"Chen Wu can mobilize nearly 10,000 people there. Even if our elite troops are required to be annihilated, they will have to send out 5,000 troops. Such a team will run around the sea. If there is a mistake, they will not be able to bear it.

After hearing Wang Tong's words, everyone's faces darkened. It was indeed the truth. They could not sit and watch the enemy out there, but they had no choice but to sit and wait for the other party to move, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"Is there nothing I can do?"

"Did you forget the warships that are being built on the shipyard?"

"...The shipyards over there can build up to three ships this year. Our sailors are not enough. When everything is equipped, it will take three years to wait. Will the silence make us wait for so long?"

Hearing the following discussion, Wang Tong raised his hand, the room was quiet, Wang Tong spoke:

"There is no need to worry too much. Mr. Yu said, and Mr. Qi also said that pirates roaming the sea, relying on ships, but if there is no supply of fresh water on the shore, they are nothing. If they want to disturb Tianjin Wei, it is impossible to travel from the Japanese for a long distance. They need to replenish and rest, not at the sea. There are no islands for them to stop. Therefore, if they come, they must be in a hidden port with Tianjin Wei as the center, south to north."

The room was extremely quiet. After listening to Wang Tong's story, Wang Tong continued:

"Shenwu often travels to Tianjin Wei, and his fleet is also dispatched nearby. He must have a port nearby, either in Yongping Prefecture, Liao Town, or Shandong. We don't know where this port is, but Wu Da and Wu Er will definitely find out, find this place, pull it, and travel hundreds of miles on land, we must be faster than the ship!!"

After saying this, the people in the room looked much more worried. Ma Sanbiao punched his palm with his fist and said viciously:

"What's the matter with the Sanshui King? When I arrived on the shore, I was still a mess that was flattened by our army."

Everyone was laughing, Wang Tong waved his hand and said:
Chapter completed!
