Chapter 1319 Complacent, opening up the city
In the 31st year of Jiajing, at the beginning of winter, Zhoushan Ligang was completed! The vast port, the fortress with artillery, the trade fairs lined up, the church of Franz, and thousands of houses.
Everything is more brilliant than the original Shuangyu Port.
On the day when Ligang was built, Wang Zhi, the king of the sea and the uncrowned king of Japanese pirates, hosted a banquet for the leaders of the group of Japanese pirates in Ligang. Whether it was the Japanese pirates directly under Wang Zhi's command, or the Japanese pirates who were indirectly under the direct control of Wang, or the Japanese pirates who were not under the direct control of Wang and were not in harmony with each other, almost all the leaders of the Japanese pirates who had a reputation attended the banquet. Even if they were hostile to the Japanese pirates, they sent people to attend with great dignity. For example, Xu Hai, although he did not attend the banquet in person, he also sent Saburo Noribayashi to celebrate with rich gifts.
The banquet venue was placed in the open space in front of the Ligang Wharf, all of which were covered with red carpets, and several tables were set up.
There are hundreds of Japanese pirate leaders, big and small, and they are seated in order of strength.
Wang Zhi sat at the most honorable place at the banquet, displaying his honor guard of "King Hui" to the fullest. He was dressed in a gold-plated embroidered gold python gown, a jade belt around his waist, a golden top with five eaves and a yellow umbrella. A beautiful maid accompanied him, and behind him fifty strong guards in gold armor and silver helmets were fanned out.
"Everyone, the completion of Ligang today is a day of great joy for us, so my king invites you all to congratulate me."
Wang Zhi raised the golden bottle, laughed heartily, and said to the pirates.
"Thank you, King Hui. Thanks to King Hui's planning, we have a place to stay in Ligang."
"The lord is mighty, I'll wait for it."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
"He Xiwang chief."
All the pirate leaders at the banquet stood up one after another and toasted respectfully. They called Wang Zhi differently. Some are called Huiwang, some are called the leader of the alliance, some are called the king, and some are called the king. From the inconsistent titles, it can also be seen that the Japanese pirates are not monolithic.
"Today we drink this glass of wine together, and we will share the prosperity and wealth of the sea trade in the future." Wang Zhi looked at the Japanese pirate leader off the court with satisfaction, raised his golden bottle in high spirits, and drank the wine in the glass with his head raised.
"Share the glory and wealth." A group of Japanese pirate leaders shouted, raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
"Everyone, please take a seat. Come on, pass on the dancing girl to the stage to add to the fun." Wang Zhi invited a group of Japanese pirates to sit down and passed on the dancing girl.
Soon, a group of graceful Japanese women came on stage, twisting their waists and limbs during the banquet, like Liu Fufeng.
A group of unscrupulous Japanese pirates looked hot, and a little boldly pulled the dancer into his arms directly, and raised his hands. Wang Zhi laughed and didn't stop it. The rest of the Japanese pirates followed suit after seeing this.
After a while, the banquet became hot.
"Master, our Ligang will not suffer from the disaster of Shuangyu Port again?!" At the banquet, a pirate leader had experienced the disaster of Shuangyu Port.
"Mr. He, think about it. Now, whether it's Ningbo, Shaoxing, or Hangzhou, which one doesn't acquiesce in our private market, the government just turns a blind eye to it."
"The day before yesterday, I took Erlang, my subordinate, to the streets of Suzhou Prefecture to buy a hundred pieces of cloth, and the Suzhou government government didn't care."
"That's right, you're the only one who thinks too much! The older you get, the less courageous you are. It's really funny."
The banquet was in full swing, and He Laosan poured cold water on it, and all the Japanese pirates couldn't help laughing.
"No, once bitten by a snake for ten years, I was afraid of well ropes. Back then, I personally experienced the disaster of Shuangyu Port. It was really a river of blood."
He Laosan shook his head and smiled wryly.
The other Japanese pirates laughed even more when they heard the words, "At this time and then at that time, the government now defaults to the private market. I heard that there are still many officials who propose to open the sea ban. The people in Fujian and Zhejiang are even more interested in the private market. There is a saying, what is the trend of the times, this sea trade is the trend of the times.”
"What the third brother is worried about is not unfounded. I also experienced it personally in Shuangyu Port back then. If I hadn't escaped by luck, I wouldn't have the opportunity to sit in front of you today."
Wang Zhi waved his hand to stop the chaos in the field, stretched out his finger and pointed at He Laosan, and said leisurely.
The field fell silent for a moment.
"Private markets are always small and small, and it is difficult to make a big deal. Only when the Ming court opens the Hong Kong market, can we make great achievements."
Wang Zhi slowly glanced at the group of Japanese pirates, then looked at the sea in the distance, and said firmly.
"Open Hong Kong City?!"
All the Japanese pirates looked at each other, but they didn't expect Wang Zhi's ideal to be so grand.
"That's right! It's opening up the port and opening up the city! For today's world, it is the world of maritime trade! Frangji's merchant ships have traveled thousands of miles, and they have already made a lot of money in every wild place in the ocean. Daming is expensive In the center of the world, the population and wealth are billions of times greater than that of the barren land, and there are huge business opportunities and wealth here. As long as the port is opened, we will have endless prosperity and wealth!"
Wang Zhi said to the Japanese pirates in high spirits, and described a grand plan for the prosperity of maritime trade to them.
All the Japanese pirates couldn't help but look hot.
He Laosan and some calm Japanese pirates are cautious about the grand plan Wang Zhi described.
The sea ban is the national policy of the Ming Dynasty, can the port be allowed to open to the city? !
"Hehe, He Laosan, although your worries are not unfounded, they are too pessimistic! As they said, the sea trade is already driven by the general trend! You just said that Shuangyu Port, hehe, yes, Zhu Wan destroyed it. Shuangyu Port, killed Li Guangtou and others, so what?! Zhu Wan was ignorant of current affairs, and enforced a strict maritime ban. As a result, he was punished to death by the scholar-officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who were interested in maritime trade. No one inside or outside the imperial court dares to mention the sea ban! Besides, look at Zhang Damao and He Dapao who are beside you. They are the Fujian navy that wiped out Shuangyu Port. When Zhu Wan disbanded these pirate ships, the imperial court did not pay any food and salaries, which caused the Fujian navy to mutiny, and most of the warships went directly to the king. Zhang Damao, He Dapao and the others were hundreds of households of the navy, and now they are not We are dead! There are still many officials who have written admonitions to open the sea ban, so sea trade is the general trend!"
"Not to mention, the year before last, this king cooperated with the Jiangsu and Zhejiang authorities to capture the vicious pirates Lu Qi and Shen Jiu. Last year, this king was entrusted by the Haidao Yamen to capture and kill Chen Sipan, and made great contributions to maintaining the order of the sea."
"So, it's time. The king decided to ask the Ming court for trade and opening up the city tomorrow!"
"With the opening of Hong Kong and the opening of the city, everything is legal, and the disaster at Shuangyu Port will never happen again! Our prosperity is here!"
Wang Zhi was full of ambition, raised his wine glass, and said impassionedly to the Japanese pirates, as if they were gods.
