Messengers traveling back and forth between Ningbo and Hangzhou became increasingly frequent after that.
Such large-scale recruitment would certainly not be accomplished at once.
Pirates wanted to test the government, and the government also wanted to test thieves.
They need to negotiate conditions and benefits, and test each other to see where the other party's bottom line is.
The advantage of the government lies in the previous battle in Ningbo.
The government and army won cleanly, but Xu Yang lost his capital, so his psychological advantage is different.
In the days that followed, even the few envoys who came and went were greatly influenced by Peking Opera and the Tianfei Cult, and some of them actually became religious.
After that, their position was shaken, and the details of their old club were almost sold out.
The leader of the recruitment was also leaked: Xu Yang's little wife, Princess Yuzi of the Ma Zong family, and Xu Yang's Nephew, the future leader of the Xu family, Xu Dong.
By the time of the Lantern Festival, the Yang family had already arrived in Ningbo from Hangzhou, just to reduce the time spent on the road by messengers.
The Lantern Festival here is generally less lively than in Nanjing.
Due to the large number of merchants and the prosperity of the place, there is always a festive atmosphere.
Mrs.
Xue is also a wonderful person.
The Chamber of Commerce came forward to organize a dragon and lion dance team, lanterns, and all kinds of flowers.
She also accompanied Ms.
Liu to several foreign goods shops to buy.
She looked like a daughter-in-law who wanted to please her mother-in-law. .
Mrs.
Liu was soft-hearted, and in the end she did not dislike her age.
Instead, she held her hand and even said that she was a miserable person.
Yang Chengzu was in the room, playing leaf cards with his female relatives while talking about the situation at Shuangyu, "Xu Yangde is a person.
He came out to conquer the world as a teenager and built such a fortune with bare hands.
It is by no means an easy task."
However, no matter how great he is, he probably can’t think of the people around him. , will betray him.
Xu Yang's own son is not up to par, and he can't hold his own.
Xu Dong is his nephew, and he is actually the number one person under him.
In the future, the entire Xu family's foundation will be affected.
It's his.
For such an important person to betray him, it can only be said that Xu Yang is exhausted. " "And what about Princess Yuzi?
She is Xu Yang's pillow, and she can actually betray him.
Do you think she will have an affair with Xu Dong?"
Sister Guo Jiu asked curiously.
As a member of the Xungui family, There is a lot of gossip in her circle, and she is not exempt from it.
Things like this are the most attractive.
I heard that this princess is younger than Xu Yang's son, and Xu Dong is still young.
She has already made up many stories in her mind.
Yaoniang was concerned about another thing: "Could they be planning to surrender by pretending to surrender?
They are deceiving each other.
We can't believe what others say.
They insist on asking your husband to go to the island.
What if it's a trick by the envoys?"
What should I do?
I don’t think it’s safe here.
Husband, I don’t allow you to go.

If you want to go, just find someone to go for you.
I think Eunuch Huang is good.
He has the king’s order flag in his hand.
He can speak on behalf of the court, better than you.
It would be more appropriate to go.”
In the past few days, the recruitment process has been going smoothly, but the pirates also have their own requirements, which is to ask Yang Chengzu to go to the island to show sincerity and give themselves a safety guarantee.
Local governments also have the power to recruit thieves, but it is difficult to guarantee the safety of thieves after they are recruited.
Whether it's the annihilation of a wealthy family, the government settling old scores, or the revenge of a capable culprit, there are always some unlucky pirates who are captured and beheaded by the government after laying down their weapons.
For example, Wang Zhi, the captain of the Wufeng ship in another time and space, received a safety guarantee from Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang Province, and went ashore to negotiate with the government.
As a result, he was captured by the patrol officer who was not at odds with Hu Zongxian, and then beheaded.
The pirates wanted a guarantee, at least a guarantee that they would not be hacked to death after laying down their weapons.
This was not too much.
But the condition they proposed was that Yang Chengzu go to the island and make the promise in person, which made the women in the family feel a little uneasy.
The Li sisters' strategies are mediocre, but they also know that a war never tires of deceit, and they are worried that as soon as their husbands leave, they will be detained for meat.
Hao Qingqing was born in Green Forest and knew more about this kind of thing.
There were many people in Green Forest Village who were recruited for unknown reasons and then beheaded by the government.
There were also quite a few who killed officials frantically and then were killed without leaving any one behind.
In short, when the matter falls on their own men, everyone wants to seek stability.
Now that Xu's fleet has become a dead tiger, even if they don't recruit people, they can definitely fight with their horses and horses.
The wasted cost is thousands of lives.
As long as these lives have nothing to do with you, what does it matter?
On one side, soldiers who had never met each other were casualties, and on the other side, her husband was taking risks.
No one among the female relatives of the Yang family, including the Liu family, supported Yang Chengzu to go to the island in person.
Yang Chengzu himself seemed indifferent.
"Yao Niang, Qing Qing, I also understand what you are saying, and I also know that we can win the battle without recruiting people.
But the method you mentioned is too slow.
Shuangyu can be defeated by fighting, but we just need to let If the pirates knew that the official army would not surrender, they would definitely We will risk our lives to fight, and I am afraid it will take several months to actually reach the island.
We have been away from the capital for a long time.
We have already spent two years in the south, and we don’t want to hurry up and deal with it.
After finishing the work here, it’s time to go back and deliver the work.”
He pointed with his hand in the direction of the capital, "That's where my foundation lies.
No matter how good the Jiangnan strategy is, it's not my foundation.
I have no interest in military power or anything like that.
My interest lies in the Jin Yiwei.
If I want to It’s convenient to go back to Beijing to catch people’s love and taxes.
Besides, my son and daughter are still in Beijing.
If I don’t go back, they won’t know me anymore.”
Sister Guo Jiu shook her head and said: "I understand what you are saying.
Our family is in the capital, and my father is going back to the capital to work.
The relatives here are a bit annoying, and I want to go back.
But you can leave now, anyway.
If you leave, others may not be able to defeat Shuangyu.
You yourself have said that leading troops in war is not your specialty, so why do you have to take it all on yourself?
Are you afraid of others and wasting your new army?
seed" "That's not the case.

The New Army has been rewarded with swords for a long time.
Jane is in the heart of the emperor.
If anyone dares to cause trouble for the New Army, my Jin Yiwei will not let him go.
Most of the officers of the New Army are from Anlu. , naturally the matter can be brought to the imperial court.
What I am worried about is just that.
The New Army spent too long in the south of the Yangtze River and missed important events.
If such a sharp knife is only used to kill Japanese pirates, it will be a fuss.
Their real stage is also in the north and not in the south.
It is not worth wasting it for a group of thieves.
Too much time."
He also comforted everyone, "Although this thing seems risky, it is actually not terrible.
If the Japanese pirates take me as a hostage, what's the use?
The Ming Dynasty system is here.
Capturing an imperial envoy will not exchange for any money or food commitments, but only exchange for promises."
The big clans in the southeast hate me to the core.
If they dare to detain me, they will immediately attack me.
They will bribe the troops to attack the island desperately, and let me and the pirates die together.
Since Xu Dong can see that recruitment is the way out, I think he has not reached the point of being hopeless.
He should understand this truth, so this time I Go, go and be the ancestors, they have to eat well, be served by good wine and beautiful people, there will be no problem. " As the head of the family, if he really makes up his mind, no one else can stop him.
Even a wealthy girl like Sister Ninth will not go against her husband on major matters.
But Yaoniang and Qingqing, women with strong martial arts skills, were determined to go with him.
Generally speaking, when encountering dangerous situations, Yang Chengzu would choose to take Leng Feishuang with him.
Firstly, the other party's martial arts skills were higher, and secondly, he had no real relationship with him.
If an accident happened, he could let go of him.
A true female family member is unwilling to be brought into a dangerous environment.
But this time, since he insisted that there was no risk in recruiting him, it would be difficult for these female colleagues to refuse.
The envoys sent to contact him had already joined the Tianfei Cult, and actually took the position of the government.
He also patted his chest and said that there would be no risk in going this time, and it would somewhat appease the hearts of Liu and others.
On the eve of her departure, Sister Ninth sent Yuhuan to accompany her, and she leaned into Yang Chengzu's arms and carefully asked him to be safe.
He even promised that as long as he didn't risk his life, he would have no objection even if Leng Feishuang was taken away.
Yang Chengzu patted his chest and said that this trip would be an immediate success and there would be no risk.
At least in his own calculation, there was no possibility of anything going wrong
