Mingshi

Chapter 682
Luo Xin shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it's not surprising. The reason why the Japanese pirates are called Japanese pirates is because they went ashore to burn, kill and loot, so there is nothing surprising about them going ashore."

"But this time is different." Qi Jiguang said seriously: "Xu Hai, Ye Ma and Xin Wulang joined forces to log in..."

Qi Jiguang told Luo Xin everything he heard in the Governor's Mansion in detail.After hearing this, Luo Xin frowned and said:

"Ruan E wants to take Zhejiang soldiers to fight the Japanese pirates privately?"

"Yes." Qi Jiguang nodded.

Luo Xin sighed and said, "The Zhejiang soldiers will be eaten up by the Japanese pirates until there is not even a scum left."

"Then what should we do?" Qi Jiguang said with an anxious look on his face: "Master Butang is determined not to send troops. He said that the real purpose of the Japanese pirates is probably Suzhou and Hangzhou. Once the army goes out, the Japanese pirates will take advantage of the loopholes and attack Suzhou. Hangzhou."

Luo Xin shook his head slightly and said, "The Japanese pirates' goal is not Suzhou and Hangzhou, but Hangzhou."

"Huh? Why?" Qi Jiguang asked puzzled.

Luo Xin looked at Qi Jiguang and saw that he didn't seem to be a fake, so he knew that Qi Jiguang hadn't grown to the point of being independent, so he analyzed to Qi Jiguang:
"You know what happened in Hangzhou, right?"

"Well, I know." Qi Jiguang nodded.

"Prices soared suddenly, causing the people in Hangzhou to be unstable. Various workshops stopped working, but tens of thousands of mechanics were unstable. Now a large number of Japanese pirates have landed, burned, killed, and looted. Everything is not isolated, but connected."

"You mean..." Qi Jiguang's expression changed.

"It's those people who hate me to the bone and wish for my death to push me behind." Luo Xin said solemnly.

"They...why did they do this?" Qi Jiguang looked pale and puzzled.

Luo Xin's eyes became cold and he said: "Because I broke their jobs, the Shibosi cut off their financial resources, so that they can't continue colluding with Japanese pirates for smuggling. A few days ago, those tens of thousands of Japanese pirates wanted to kill me. , Not enough, but I killed them. But those Japanese pirates are not the main force, they are just stragglers. At this time, Xu Hai, Ye Ma and Xin Wulang are all Japanese pirate giants. It seems that they really don’t want me to live. Once I die, they can continue Live a life of monopolizing smuggling. Especially when I beheaded their people before, I made these people crazy."

"This..." Qi Jiguang said dumbfounded, "They... are all from Ming Dynasty..."

"They are not just people from Daming, but the family and officials of Ming Dynasty. They have formed a large network of officials, family and Japanese pirates. Their energy is not small. In such a few days, they can drive up prices. Forcing mechanics and colluding with pirates, do you think this net is powerful?"

"Are they really... as powerful as you say? Are they really as crazy as you say?" Qi Jiguang asked nastily.

"Just think about it." Luo Xin said in a low voice, "In the past few years, did the Japanese pirates know in advance every action of the officers and soldiers? After the Japanese pirates landed, it was difficult for the officers and soldiers to grasp their robbery routes?"

Qi Jiguang's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and finally he said with sharp eyes: "These people should be killed."

"Of course it should be killed!" Luo Xin said coldly.Then he sighed and said, "But we can't kill them all."

"Why can't they all be killed?" Qi Jiguang said murderously, "The more traitors like this are killed, the better."

Luo Xin couldn't help wiping the sweat in his heart and said: "Then there will be no six great families after the southeast."

"Wouldn't it be better without them? Without these families, the people's lives would be better."

Luo Xin looked at Qi Jiguang's angry expression, shook his head, and said dejectedly:
"If there are no six great families, my future should be good. But at present, it will cause chaos in the entire southeast."

"how come?"

"The Six Great Families are already deeply rooted in the southeast. If nothing else, just say that the tens of thousands of mechanics are working for the Six Great Families. If all the Six Great Families are killed, tens of thousands of mechanics will lose their jobs. Although it is said that the government can take it back to operate, but there is a lack of management talents. If these workshops are handed over to the government, corruption will be wiped out, and the life of mechanics is not as good as it is now. You can also sell these workshops, but this is all It will take time, and once the six great families are killed, the government will have to do a lot of things, such as stabilizing prices, etc. If there is time to manage those mechanics, Hangzhou will be in chaos.

This is just one, there are two.If I really kill all the six families, it will be a shock to all the families in Ming Dynasty.I only kill one family, and they will feel that that family deserves what they deserve, and they will not be afraid or guard against me.But if I kill six families at once, all the families will be afraid, and I will become the enemy of all the families of Ming Dynasty.Even His Majesty has to be patient with the aristocratic family.Yuan Jing, do you think I am the only one who can support the aristocratic families around Daming? "

Qi Jiguang was silent, and said for a while: "Which one are you going to kill?"

"Which one do you think is better?" Luo Xin asked seriously.

Qi Jiguang also thought about it seriously for a while and said: "This family cannot be the strongest. For example, the Lu family has Lu Bing in the capital. If you kill the Lu family, there will be no good results."

Luo Xin nodded, and Qi Jiguang said, "You can't kill the weakest, so it can't act as a deterrent."

Luo Xin nodded again.Qi Jiguang weighed it again and said: "Just the Lu family. The strength of the Lu family is the same. If you kill the Lu family, the consequences will not be very serious, and it can also serve as a deterrent."

"Then the Lu family." Luo Xin nodded.

Qi Jiguang still frowned and said: "No, this is killing a family, not a person. Do you have a good reason?"

"Have!"

Qi Jiguang nodded, and continued to ask: "Although the Lu family is not the largest family, it is not small. If you copy his family just like this, will it cause counterattacks from other families?"

"How far can they counterattack?" Luo Xin said with a cold face: "Now they drive up prices, push mechanics to make trouble, and seduce the Japanese country. Which thing is not a crime of extermination? I can't think of it. What could be worse? What hole cards can they use to counterattack me? This is their vicious last counterattack. Since they don't care about the lives of the people in the southeast, why should I care about their lives?"

Qi Jiguang pondered for a while and said: "There are three kinds of results in this way. The first is that the six families are afraid and take the initiative to visit you and cooperate with all your actions. This is the best result. The second result is that the six families and you They will use all their power in the capital to impeach you. This is a good or bad result. The third result is that the six aristocratic families are completely crazy. They continue to manipulate prices, make mechanics riot, and make Hangzhou completely chaotic. Get up, beat, smash, and rob all over Hangzhou City. And if possible, they will also collude with Japanese pirates to attack Hangzhou City."

Qi Jiguang paused, and stared at Luo Dao with burning eyes: "Have you thought about these three outcomes, how do you deal with them?"

"I've thought about it." Luo Xin nodded and said, "If it's the first result, then everyone is happy. The Shibo Department can operate normally, and the southeast can also keep the five great families. If it's the second result, I have also thought about how to deal with it. If it is the third result, then I will have to kill another family. No, I will kill again. If they are not afraid, I will kill until there is no family in the southeast. This is my last Unwilling to face the result."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Qi Jiguang nodded and said, "It's just pirates... oh..."

Luo Xin also sighed and said: "As long as Hangzhou gets through this difficult time, the Japanese pirates will retreat when they see that there is no hope of attacking Hangzhou. And this is also a warning to those aristocratic families. If anyone is found to be colluding with the Japanese pirates, only those who have their homes ransacked As a result, today’s southeast is not what it used to be. It’s impossible for them to continue to monopolize smuggling if they want to be like before, and let them continue to monopolize smuggling. Once smuggling is eliminated, they will no longer tip off Japanese pirates The Japanese pirates who landed in this way are blind, and it will be much easier to wipe them out."

Luo Xin and Qi Jiguang conspired for a while, and Luo Xin sent Qi Jiguang out of the door.Qi Jiguang returned to the barracks and began to enter Hangzhou City with three thousand men.In this way, the atmosphere in the mainland of Hangzhou suddenly became more tense.The news of Japanese pirates coming ashore swept across Hangzhou, and more people went to buy food and other supplies, causing prices to soar further.

At the same time, inside the magistrate's yamen, Song Danian walked back and forth on the ground like an ant on a hot pot.There was a sound of footsteps, and he saw his master walk in, with a worried face on his face:

"My lord, the price of goods has skyrocketed again. If the problem cannot be resolved within three days, there may be riots in the city."

"What can I do?" Song Danian slumped on the chair: "This is basically pushed by the six great families secretly. It is impossible for the six great families to stop."

"You can ask Luo Xin to apologize to the six great families..."

"Don't even think about it!" Song Danian shook his head and said, "Don't talk about Luo Xin's temperament, it is impossible to apologize to the Six Great Families. Even if he is willing, the Six Great Families will not forgive him. He killed so many families of the Six Great Families Slave, the Six Great Families have already made up their minds to kill him. Didn’t you see that even the Japanese pirates were recruited by them? The Six Great Families are going to kill Luo Xin at all costs this time.

The six great families, **** too! "

"The lord..."

Song Danian waved his hands weakly and said: "It is impossible to join forces with the six great families, they killed me together. So the only way is to join forces with Luo Xin."

"Roxin, he has a solution?"

"He said that he will come to visit me in Fuchu tomorrow, everything will depend on tomorrow."

Lu House.

The Patriarchs of the six great families laughed and laughed.

"Advancing for another two days, as the Japanese pirates advance towards Hangzhou, the situation in the entire Hangzhou city will definitely be detonated. By that time, there will be rioters beating, smashing and looting everywhere in Hangzhou city. Luo Xin is dead this time, hehe ..."

"Fighting with our six great families, he is still a little tender."

"Isn't it good to be honest and imitate Song Danian? You want to provoke our six great families. That's good, set an example for the officials who come to the southeast in the future, and let them know who has the final say in the southeast!"

"It's a pity that Song Danian is gone!"

"Hehe..." Lu Ding said with a faint smile, "From tomorrow onwards, we will all stay in the mansion and sit and watch the situation arise."

"Yes, stay in the mansion and watch the situation rise. Hahaha..."

"Hahaha……"

"Also!" Lu Ding said lightly: "The court has appointed Zhang Juzheng to inspect Hangzhou a few days ago, so it should arrive in a few days. Maybe it will arrive tomorrow."

"Great!" The head of the Lu family smiled and said, "Now we have sent people to guide the refugees to Hangzhou. At that time, Zhang Juzheng saw the soaring price of Hangzhou, the riots of the people, the riots of the refugees, and the rampage of Japanese pirates. This Luo Xin died. deal."

"It's hard to say!" The Patriarch of the Cui family said, "Luo Xin is just an acquaintance. I'm afraid Song Danian died first, but Luo Xin may not be in trouble."

"Whether he has a business or not is not decided by him, nor by his status, but by us." Lu Ding said with a dark smile:

"At that time, our people in the capital will not be waiting for idlers. Before Luo Xin came to the southeast, has there been such a chaotic situation in the southeast?

No!

After he came to the southeast, the situation became so rotten. If it wasn't because of him, who would believe it?
When the time comes, we will make another Manmin Book and present it to His Majesty, and put all the responsibility on Luo Xin. Does he think it's okay?dream! "

Beijing.

Time goes back half a month ago.

Luo Qing finally escorted 300 million taels of silver to the capital. Emperor Jiajing smiled when he saw the white silver.The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also smiled happily. It has been half a year, and the full salary has not been paid.Emperor Jiajing summoned Luo Qing, only asked a few things about Luo Xin, and sent him away.The officials also ignored Luo Qing.On the one hand, Luo Qing is not worthy of their association. On the other hand, everyone in the capital is aware of Luo Xin's current situation in Hangzhou, and they don't know what the future of Luo Xin will be. If Luo Xin dies, the Luo family will have no relationship necessary.

No one talked to Luo Qing, but Luo Qing was in a good mood. He was originally a simple and honest person, and he was not very good at socializing, so he went home directly.

At night, Luo Ye and Luo Ping came back.Together with Luo Heng, the four gathered in Luo Heng's room.Luo Zhi ran out to meet those literati, not knowing that the Luo family was having a secret meeting.

Luo Qing told his grandfather, uncle, and father about Luo Sheng's trip to Taiwan Island, and then explained what Luo Xin meant.After Luo Qing's words were over, the people in the room were stunned. They didn't expect that when Luo Xin ran to the grassland, he managed a faction in the grassland, which is now one of the biggest forces in the grassland.Now that he has gone to the southeast, another big island has been created. According to what Luo Qing said, that big island is as big as a province, and Luo Xin wants to establish a country there.

This old Luo's family... came out with a... freak... no, a hero!
