It's just that under such circumstances, all the operations of the Shibo Division stopped, which made Luo Xin frown.That's all silver!If Dongnan continues to be in such a mess and cannot earn money, how can he explain to Emperor Jiajing?

"My lord, should we just sit here and watch?"

A wry smile appeared on Luo Xin's face and said: "I'm not afraid of Hu Zongxian, I've already broken my face with him. But if you send troops, you will really offend Hu Zongxian. Hu Zongxian is not a big-hearted person, he I will remember and hate you for the rest of my life, and maybe someday I will give you little shoes to wear."

Qi Jiguang said forcefully: "Anyway, I'm following you, my lord, what can he do to me?"

"I don't necessarily always stay in the southeast!"

Luo Xin said with some regret, what he was thinking was that Emperor Jiajing and Xu Jie might not let him go, maybe he would turn against him at some point.But Qi Jiguang thought that with Luo Xin's ability, he would be promoted to the capital sooner or later. When he thought of Luo Xin's return to the capital, he would have no backing, and he couldn't help but feel worried.But then he became firm and said:

"Anyway, we can't see the lives of the people in the southeast. Get rid of these pirates as soon as possible, and there will be a clear sky. Besides, wipe out these pirates quickly, and your lord's Shibo Department can be reopened as soon as possible."

Luo Xin smiled and said: "Yuan Jing doesn't need to persuade me, I also want to wipe out the Japanese pirates, but we still try not to conflict with Hu Zongxian."

Qi Jiguang looked at Luodao strangely: "Aren't you afraid of Hu Zongxian? Shouldn't you be?"

"What am I afraid of him doing?" Luo Xin smiled, and then said solemnly between his eyebrows: "But I am afraid that I will offend the entire southeast military. They are just waiting to wipe out nearly [-] Japanese pirates as a final fig leaf , At this time, if we went to fight with them, we offended them there. Offending Hu Zongxian is not terrible, but it is terrible to offend the entire military in the southeast. It will be difficult for us to move forward in the southeast."

"Then what should we do? Could it be that we just watched Japanese pirates burn, kill and loot on the territory of Ming Dynasty?"

"But have you ever thought about it? Once we offend the entire southeast military, how will the Shibo Department operate? Once the Shibo Department fails to operate, you also know that Daming's current finances will collapse. !"

Qi Jiguang sat there sullenly, and he knew very well in his heart that compared with the whole of Ming Dynasty, the southeast matter was nothing.But just watching the Japanese pirates burn, kill and loot like this made Qi Jiguang very depressed.

"How about this!" Luo Xin thought for a while and said, "You take a thousand cavalry out of the city, but only within the territory under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou Prefecture. It's better to create more momentum so that Japanese pirates dare not come to the territory of Hangzhou Prefecture. Now we can only manage our own one-third of an acre of land. As long as the Japanese pirates don’t come to harm our Hangzhou government, it will be fine. In this way, the military in the southeast can also see that we are only defending our one-acre and three-point of land , and they can't fault it."

"Okay!" Qi Jiguang raised his eyebrows, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Luo Xin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Yuan Jing, don't get me wrong. I just want you to make as much noise as possible. It's better to prevent those Japanese pirates from entering the boundaries of our Hangzhou Prefecture, not to let you Really go to wipe out the Japanese pirates. You are not allowed to use any tactics such as lure the king into the urn, or show the enemy a weakness, and lure the enemy to go deep. What we want is not to wipe out the Japanese pirates, but to prevent the Japanese pirates from entering the territory of Hangzhou Prefecture. You Understand?"

"Then... what if Japanese pirates enter the territory of Hangzhou Prefecture?" Qi Jiguang asked with his eyes wide open.

A look of helplessness appeared on Luo Xin's face and he said: "Of course we fought, the more exciting the fight the better, and we will fight for a fight so that they don't dare to come again."

"The last will obey!"

Qi Jiguang left happily, leaving only Luo Xin with a wry smile.

Not to mention, those Japanese pirates had suffered in Hangzhou before, and they also knew that Luo Xin and the others had killed all [-] Japanese pirates who had ambushed in Lutou Ridge. They all hid from Hangzhou and did not enter the territory under Luo Xin's jurisdiction. This made Luo Xin very happy, but made Qi Jiguang very depressed.

Besides Luo Ye, they robbed hundreds of ships and headed towards Wang Zhi's lair all the way.On the way, he met Luo Sheng who had received a letter from Luo Xin. Luo Sheng also brought more than 100 sea ships. After hearing Luo Ye's description of the current situation in the southeast, Luo Sheng concluded that Hu Zongxian and Xu Jie had no experience at all at this time. Plotting against Luo Xin, he joined Luo Yebing and headed towards Wang Zhi's lair together.

The two sides joined forces, and those who Wang Zhi stayed in the lair were still their opponents, so they looted all the way.Originally, Wang Zhi occupied 36 islands. During the battle with Xu Hai, three of them were captured and looted by Xu Hai, and seven were attacked by Luo Ye and Luo Sheng. These ten islands have now become deserted islands. Wang Zhi There are only 26 islands left.

Luo Ye and Luo Sheng divided into two groups and swept the past. Now the people left on the 26 islands have no combat power at all. When they meet a tiger-wolf army like Luo Ye and Luo Sheng, why do they need to be together?
In order to speed up the robbing of money and people, the two simply separated.

Those Wang Zhi's subordinates who had snatched dozens of ships and escaped at the beginning had huge differences after they escaped from Luo Ye's grasp.Some people think that they should find a place to hide in the sea, and then send someone to find Wang Zhi, but some people think that they should go back to their lair immediately, because Luo Ye and the others will definitely go to rob their lair. In the end, the two parties argued One day, and the next day, there was still no dispute, and at dusk of the next day, they were simply divided into two parts. Those who wanted to go to Wang Zhi, went to Wang Zhi.Those who want to know the old nest will know the old nest.

In this way, they were wasted a lot of time.When those who went looking for Wang Zhi sneaked back to the sea, and sent people ashore secretly one night, they found that Wang Zhi and the others had already snatched two boats and fled back to the sea, and the remaining nearly [-] Japanese pirates were at this time. They are also far away from the coastline, and are wandering around in the territory of Ming Dynasty.

This time there was nothing to say, and these people immediately rushed towards the lair.

After Luo Ye and Luo Sheng each robbed an island, the first wave of pirates had already returned to the island closest to them. This wave of pirates had already negotiated on the way back. They borrowed Xu Hai's original ending , it is estimated that even if Wang Zhi can escape, his strength will be greatly reduced, and there are not many people around him.After they landed on the island, they snatched up all the supplies on the island, loaded them onto the boat, and then sailed towards the next island. They thought about grabbing a few more islands, and then hid them to see the situation.

but……

Before they had traveled far, they saw Luo Sheng's fleet.You don't need to know who the opponent is, as long as you see the size of the opponent's fleet, their less than twenty ships are simply not enough for the opponent's teeth.The rule of the pirates is that if you see someone who is weaker than you, you must grab it.So they had no doubt that Luo Sheng and the others would rob their own ships, and immediately turned around and ran away.Then he hid himself, never daring to rob the island's supplies again.

Luo Sheng also saw them, but the distance between the two was too far, and as soon as he saw the other's shadow, the other party had already fled, and there was no way to catch up.So Luo Sheng ignored them and continued his robbery.

When Luo Ye and Luo Sheng finished grabbing two islands each, Wang Zhi came back with the poor two boats.As soon as he got back to the island, he learned that two huge fleets were robbing his island, and he was furious at that time.But there was nothing he could do, he knew it must be Luo Ye, so what could he do?

Can he beat hundreds of boats from Luo Ye and Luo Sheng now?

Not only dare not fight, but also dare not stay on the island, and have to flee immediately.He knew very well in his heart that if Luo Ye knew that he was back and ran back with two boats, he would definitely kill him, so he hurriedly packed up some gold and silver, packed a few boats, and brought The people fled.

In fact, when Wang Zhi attacked Daming, he did not take all the boats away, but left a few small boats on each island. Now he has taken all these small boats away, but the islands left There are more supplies, and there are many people, but he can't take them away, because there are not so many boats, and he is also a ruthless person. Those who can't take them away don't care, but those supplies can't be left to Luo Ye. He lit the fire, and didn't dare to stay on the island, for fear that Luo Ye would trap him on the island, and immediately fled into exile.

What he didn't expect was that as soon as he left, those people who stayed on the island quickly put out the fire.Wang Zhi left them behind, which made them feel cold in the first place, but now he burned the food and supplies. What did this make them eat?
Moreover, once Luo Ye and the others came and found that all the supplies had been burned, how could they be killed in a fit of anger?So the fire had to be extinguished, and this was their commendation to Luo Ye.

This situation happened on every island. There were several small boats on each island, and some Japanese pirates on each island moved some gold and silver, and then boarded the boat and escaped.Those who stayed on the island put out the fire without resisting, waiting for Luo Ye and Luo Sheng to come.

Those Japanese pirates who did not find Wang Zhi on the mainland also came back the second day after Wang Zhi fled, and they also robbed some supplies in the same way, and they did not dare to stay for a while, and immediately fled away.This is convenient for Luo Ye and Luo Sheng. Hundreds of boats are fully loaded. Not only are all the materials on the island loaded on board, but even the people on the island are loaded on board, and then they sail all the way to Taiwan Island. .

At this time, Luo Ye and Luo Sheng were not afraid of exposing Taiwan.So what if it's exposed?
Now that so many supplies and people have been robbed, Taiwan is undoubtedly the number one overlord at sea.And it should show its fangs.Regardless of Wang Zhi's claims of 36 islands, in fact there are not many people on each island, and these are not enough in Taiwan.

On the biggest sea boat, Luo Ye and Luo Sheng sat opposite each other.Luo Ye took a sip of wine and said:

"happy!"

Luo Sheng also said with a smile on his face: "With these people and materials, Taiwan will be established soon. After we go back, we will first settle these people down and integrate them for a period of time, and then we should encircle and suppress the sea area. All the pirates. There are no less than 10 pirates in this sea area, and there are some family members behind them. In total, there are nearly [-] pirates. After recruiting these people, we can form an army of [-]. "

"Not bad!" Luo Ye nodded happily.

"I didn't expect Wang Zhi to really escape back." Luo Sheng said coldly, "After forming an army of [-], it will be the time when we encircle and suppress Wang Zhi's remaining forces. The prestige at sea will be a problem sooner or later."

"En!" Luo Ye nodded and said, "After we returned to Taiwan, we immediately sent people around to find Wang Zhi's hiding place. Find out his hiding place first."

"Yes!" Luo Sheng took a sip of wine and said, "During the period of our rectification, we will not only send people to find Wang Zhi, but also send people to find all the pirates in the entire sea area. It is also convenient for us to eliminate them one by one.”

Not to mention that Luo Ye and Luo Sheng are proud of themselves, but that Luo Xin is sitting in his study at this time, frowning tightly.What made him frown was nothing else but another letter from Emperor Jiajing.

What can the letter from Emperor Jiajing do?
Let Luo Xin make money.

Seeing the chaos in the southeast, Emperor Jiajing was anxious. This is to block his way of making money. Blocking people's way of making money is like killing his parents, let alone blocking the way of making money for him, a great son of heaven?
But he can't help it!
All the soldiers that should be given to Hu Zongxian were given, and all the money that should be given to Hu Zongxian was also given.

To be honest, in these years, in order to quell the Japanese pirate rebellion, Emperor Jiajing counted his money to live, and gave all the support he could give to Southeast. It's getting worse.

It was fine before, because there was no Shibo Division at that time, and it was not that important to Emperor Jiajing.But now that there is a Shibo Division, this Shibo Division is simply Daming's pocketbook.After half a year of poor life, I couldn't even afford the salaries of hundreds of officials.It was not easy for Luo Xin to make money for him. After a few days of comfortable life, the Japanese pirates turned Southeast Asia into a mess, and the Shibo Department was forced to close down. Can this not make Emperor Jiajing anxious?

However, he was in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do.

Don't look at Luo Xin earning him several million taels of silver, but taking out the supplementary salary and repairing the city wall, all these miscellaneous calculations are gone.

Moreover, after the war in the north, it was in ruins, which required the court to spend money to improve it. It can be said that the north today is a big hole in the court.At this time, Chaotang really has no energy and no money to support Southeast.

The meaning of Emperor Jiajing's letter is very clear, that is, the Japanese pirate rebellion in the southeast should be resolved by you in the southeast, but the Shibo Division cannot stop it for me.In a word:

I need money!

I need big money!
