Wang Zhi said it very clearly. His favors were exchanged for trade routes. Thinking about it, we know that pirates are not good men and women. What kind of friendship can everyone have? Only the profits are real. Wang Zhi exchanged for a trade route for two years to be stable, and the losses were not small, but as long as the recruitment was successful, it was still quite worth it. The lost route was almost made up for by the imperial court a year. Moreover, the northern route to Penghu, the Dongfan Punishment and then to Japan, was expanded a little, and the losses were not too great.

For Pu Xingfeng and others, it was a gain for nothing and got an important route. You should know that the routes of each pirate were established after countless battles. If others want to do so, they can exchange their lives for them.

Although Wang Zhi is old, the reputation established by his decades of pirate career is not false, and his subordinates of 14,500 or 5,000 people are not false. If he really fights, the other families will suffer heavy losses.

It is difficult to win all when fighting at sea. Unlike on land, there is no need to fight the main force that defeats the enemy in one battle. In a sea battle, the opponent may lose several warships and hundreds or thousands of personnel. This is considered a great victory. But the enemy is likely to be attacked and attacked by the enemy in the next step.

Several major forces are fighting at sea, and it is normal for a few years to fight. It is of course best if they can compromise and reach an agreement.

But Xu Zixian had no such advantage. His identity was destined to be unable to compromise with the pirates. In the past, the imperial court had strong naval officers and soldiers, and the Great Wei imperial guards were very strong, and most of the invading enemies would not have a good end. At most, the pirates dared to harass the border and snatch some things and ran away.

By the time Chen Yutai took root, the Fujian navy became weaker and weaker, and of course the pirates' ambitions became stronger and stronger.

If Xu Zixian really removes Chen Yutai's nail, he will face the harassment of more than 100,000 brave pirates. This is not an ordinary trivial matter. If you don't make half of the Fujian road, you will have to pay for it.

This is also the real reason why Chen Yutai has been entrenched in Qizhou with two thousand people. Neither King Zhao nor Lin Douyao could make up this decision. Even the two palaces and the emperor would not dare to exchange half of Fujian Road for two thousand pirates. It was a loss.

This is also the consequence of the emperor's unwillingness to rebuild the navy. If the troops are insufficient, of course he will have to be trapped and humiliated.

"Boy, I can save it." Xu Zixian knew that Wang Zhi was half afraid that he would cause trouble in Fuzhou and implicate him, but he was half good, so he still wanted to thank him.

"In coastal areas, you must have a navy first." Wang Zhi smiled and said, "I know you want to set up a water camp again, but it is not possible to have a ship without a ship. You must also have a capable sailor. Within ten years, you can reach the current scale of the Fuzhou navy, which is quite good."

This is a reminder to Xu Zi not to be too ambitious. Establishing a navy and a land division is a different matter. The soldiers must be able to jump on the water to fight and fight on the surging waves on the sea. They must also shoot arrows on the sea and fight, and they must withstand the big waves. Otherwise, while others rushed over and used their swords, they vomited continuously. What else can they do?

In addition to elite navy soldiers, they can predict wind and waves, avoid routes, know when to replenish water, and when to set sail, and also have a very rare ocean captain. Of course, there are also strong sailors who dare to ride a boat to hit enemy ships, and dare to jump out of the sea with a knife at the critical moment to fight with enemy sailors who come to destroy the bottom of the ship.

You also need to know the waterways, customs and customs of various countries, the joys, angers, likes and dislikes of local strongmen. These things are enough to be compiled into a thick book, and one may not be able to finish it!

Wang Zhi reminded Xu Zixian that in addition to the robbery in Qishan, there was also the matter of raising horses in the East vassal state. Taking horses to the big island would inevitably attract the attention of pirates from various families.

If you keep making small fuss, there may not be any conflict. Once the horse raising on Dongfan Island really becomes large, there may not be few people who have the idea.

A high-quality war horse is ordinary, and the lowest price is not less than fifty or sixty war horses.

In the Ming Dynasty, a high-quality war horse had to be more than a hundred taels, and an ordinary war horse had to be dozens of taels. Even after the market with Altan, a large number of war horses poured in, a horse had to be dozens of taels of silver. War horses were not ordinary miscellaneous horses. Some horses could pull carts, and Europeans could use strong miscellaneous horses to cultivate the land. In China, horses were quite precious creatures, and some people regarded them as riding, so the price was of course quite expensive.

If a large number of war horses were really raised on the island and several pirates joined forces to make a vote, it would not be impossible.

If pirates dare to come to steal horses on land, it would not be difficult for the Great Wei court to mobilize dozens of troops. On the island alone overseas, the Great Wei has the will but lacks strength. If it is really robbed, it would have become a huge joke.

"If I lack horses in the future, I will definitely ask Mingda for help..."

The power of pirates is not limited to the sea. Wang Zhi also has a small territory in Japan and thousands of soldiers stationed. The best tactic of war against the Japanese is a cavalry raid. Wang Zhi is not joking about the need for war horses.

Xu Zixian smiled and said, "This is naturally wrapped around me."

"When it comes to being close to the royal family, I have seen a lot of young officials." Wang Zhi finally sighed: "It is not common for Mingda to dare to think and do this. Although there are many talented people in the Great Wei Dynasty, I think Mingda will truly make a career in ten years."

"Borrowing the good words of the general." Xu Zixian smiled and stood up to say goodbye. Everyone stood up one after another and sent him out of the gate of the museum.

Xu Zixian actually didn't gain much during this trip, but he gained Wang Zhi's friendship, and Deng Wenjun and others obviously released their kindness, which laid a relatively solid foundation.

Both of them understand that the capital has made efforts, and there is no question of who owe anyone. After Xu Zixian arrives at the Dongfan, whether the two sides can cooperate depends on how Xu Zixian develops. Wang Zhi has to consider his entire power. Although his personal favorability towards Xu Zixian is also important, it cannot resist the real interests.

In other words, if Xu Zi had no ability to resist and had created a large number of high-quality horses in the East Vanguard and the five major thieves joined forces to make a vote, Wang Zhi would not guarantee that the East China Sea lineage would not get the share of this.

The thing about loyalty and friendship depends on how great the benefits are. When the benefits are big enough, loyalty and friendship can only be put aside. Wang Zhi did not say it clearly. He believed that Xu Zixian would understand, and Wang Zhi also knew that Xu Zixian really understood.

...

"Mr. Marquis, the imperial edict has been issued."

Chen Zuocai looked excited. Chen Daojian, Gao Shilai, Tian Heng and others all greeted him. Fang Shaoqun and Liu Yi were both calm and gentle. The literary and military styles were very similar in temperament.

In perfect agreement with what Xu Xia Shang revealed in advance, the court awarded the new top scholar of the martial arts, the royal family of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the Marquis of Nan'an, Xu Zixian, the governor of Qizhou, also served as the commander of Qizhou Shangzhai, Qizhou Defense Envoy, and also served as the Nan'an Regiment and Control Envoy.

This means that in addition to retaining the original territory of the Gang Zheng Guard, Xu Zixian also had the territory of Qizhou, which was equivalent to adding a lot of power chips.

It would be better if we could go further and understand Qizhou. Han Zhong seemed to have such intentions, but after being stopped by the old prime minister, Han Zhong followed the situation and stopped insisting.

After all, the twenty-year-old Guohou, who had just won the top scorer in martial arts, was a bit too shocking to be appointed as the magistrate of Junzhou.

The same magistrate Qizhou, Qizhou is also a lower-class military prefecture under Fuzhou Prefecture, so the movement is not too great. The military position of the fifth-rank defensive military commander was not too high.

In addition, Xu Zixian's title was also the Marquis of Nan'an, and the number of households was increased to tens of thousands of households in name, and the actual food was entrusted to 6,000 households, which was used to repay him for his military achievements in beheading more than 1,000 in Nan'an.

This dynasty's most important military achievements is that this title has no doubts and no one can say anything.

In addition, Xu Zixian was appointed as the General of the Left Guard, and was appointed as the General of Wang Zhi, and was also appointed as the State of the Pillar. The honorary ranks were all matched with the Marquis of Nan'an. In terms of titles, honors and ranks, he was already an absolute important official of the country.

Of course, Xu Zixian did not have a California governor or a military governor. This was a decent treatment only given to the retired old ministers of Gao Dexun by the court, or a great minister with great merit. Xu Zixian's contributions would not have received such preferential treatment.

There is also a letter from Xu Zixian who submitted a memorial to Ma Zhengshi, and the emperor ordered the government affairs hall to discuss it. After the discussion, Xu Zixian was appointed as the commander of the Fujian Road to serve as the commander of the Ma Zhengshi, which was considered to be the case that the entire Fujian Road to the Marquis of Nan'an.

Nan'an delegation was trained to guard the guards, Qizhou defense envoy, Zhishangzhai commander, Qizhou, Ma Zhengshi envoy, Zhuguo, Left Guard General, Nan'an Hou...

Xu Zixian's title has become extremely long, which also shows that he occupies an increasingly heavy weight in the political territory of Fuzhou.

Chen Zuo was the butler who went north this time. He said happily: "There are also the officials who give them to them with color. Ten gold ingots, one hundred silver ingots, twenty silk ingots, twenty silk ingots, one hundred pieces of rice paper, etc.."

In other words, the emperor gave another fifty taels of gold, one hundred taels of silver, and various things worth about a hundred taels were not too stingy or too generous to the emperor.

"It's hard to go north." Xu Zixian said to everyone: "Stay paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and I will take it back to Fuzhou to give it to others. You can just share the silver with one ingot for each person. Just divide it evenly. If you can't get a piece of silk or silk that can't get it."

Everyone was cheering and thunderous. These items used were all imperial logos made of imperial warehouses. Of course, everyone would not use them, but would take them back to Fuzhou to show off. The additional value was far greater than the actual value, and of course it was worth making everyone happy.

"There is another one." Chen Zuocai was happy and reminded Xu Zixian: "The court gave the six thousand official households to the Nan'an Marquis Mansion. The imperial court gave the military and civilians of the Three Villages on the Dongfan Island. The officials of the Political Affairs Hall reminded that the number of households on the large island is only more than 3,000, and all of them are all allocated to the Nan'an Marquis Mansion. There are insufficient numbers. Then go to Fuzhou's county-level county to select the manors and report them."

"I just said the court was not that generous." Zhang Huchen said on the side: "Everyone knows that the people on the Dongfan Island are trapped and poor. What kind of profit can the 3,000 households give the Marquis' Mansion? I'm afraid that even one thousand households in Fuzhou are not as good as the 1,000 households. The actual food seal of these 6,000 households will be sold in half."

Many generals expressed their dissatisfaction, but Fang Shaoqun smiled and said, "Congratulations to you."

"Mr. Fang asked me to declare it." Xu Zixian said: "I don't know where the joy comes from?"

"Mingda needs to be developed, isn't the Dongfan a good place?" Fang Shaoqun smiled and said, "It's better to build a port and a shipyard again, and everything is under control."

This guy is really amazing...
