Luxurious cabin, carved railings and jade.

It is so luxurious that even the tableware on the table is made of pure gold and pure silver, giving it a sense of nobility.

If you didn't say this was a pirate's cabin, you would have thought it was some kind of palace.

‘Buy or sell?’

The moment he heard these two words, the confused Wang Zhi reacted immediately.

After all, he is also the pirate king of the generation who spans East Asia and Southeast Asia. In terms of personal courage, Wang Zhi's courage is definitely one of the best in the world.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to go from a young man who just went to work in the sea to become the Pirate King today in just ten years.

I took a breath and calmed down.

‘How did Emperor Jiajing come to my ship?’

‘Why did Qi Jiguang call this strange man an immortal master?’

‘Immortal master? Isn’t he really an immortal?’

‘No, this Hu Zongxian has always been a liar. Could it be that he is someone who deliberately found someone to defraud me?’

Wang Zhi thought quickly in his mind, if he believed it so easily, he would not be Wang Zhi.

However, then I thought about it.

‘That’s not right, this is my ship. It’s impossible for anyone to touch it quietly, let alone enter the main cabin.’

For safety reasons.

Boss Wang has always been extremely secretive about the ship he is on.

In the entire fleet, there are nine boats that are exactly the same as the one Wang Zhi is on. From the appearance alone, outsiders can't tell which one is where Boss Wang is.

Moreover, all the entrances and exits on the ship are guarded by young men carrying guns, so there is no possibility of sneaking up.

Just as Boss Wang was thinking about his little ninety-nine.

Jiajing Immortal glanced at Hu Zongxian.

"Hu Zongxian, is there something wrong with your mind?"

The kneeling Lao Hu's heart suddenly pounded and he kowtowed quickly.

After all, just because a big pirate bribed me and was caught by the emperor on the spot, even if it was confiscated, I, as an official of the imperial court, colluded with the pirate to drink and have fun.

Giving yourself a chance to commit suicide is definitely not an exaggeration.

"My dear, I will die!"

"I dare to ask Your Majesty to investigate clearly. I absolutely dare not accept money from this thief!"

"Everyone in Zhizhe knows that Hu Zongxian and Wang Zhi are incompatible with each other. The purpose of coming here for the banquet today is to find out the true nature of the thieves so that they can be wiped out in one fell swoop one day!"

Wang Zhi was stunned for a while, and then looked at Hu Zongxian: I gave you money, but you damn bitten me back, open your mouth to be a thief and keep your mouth closed to steal people, when you called King Hui before, you were smoother than anyone else.

"Why not?"

"Even if you, Hu Zongxian, don't want it, you won't send these 50,000 taels to the capital for me?!"

Governor Hu was stunned by the Jiajing Immortal's words and his defense was broken.

Can it still be done like this?!

These words instantly opened up a new world for Hu Zongxian. He suddenly realized that if he could not give money to Zhang Shoufu himself, then he would give it to the emperor from now on!

"Idiot."

Throw the next sentence.

Then, Jiajing looked at Qi Jiguang who was kneeling aside.

"Are you Qi Jiguang?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Taibao, who was debating whether to send money to the emperor in the future, trembled and quickly said yes.

He had already learned from Zhang Juzheng's letter that he had been promoted from an unknown military attache to the deputy chief military officer of Zhejiang in just a few years, all because of the emperor's high regard.

"Well, not bad."

The main reason why Jiajing Immortal was promoted to Qi Jiguang in succession was because during break time, he heard from other emperors about going to Dengzhou Guard to steal a pole, so he remembered the name Qi Jiguang.

In Zhu Houcong's view, since he is someone valued by his master, he is a person with a predestined relationship, so he should naturally be used and reused.

"From now on, I will add the commander-in-chief of the left of the Fifth Army Commander-in-Chief to control the governor of Zhejiang."

Qi Jiguang, who was kneeling, was stunned.

‘???’

‘This, this is another promotion?!’

Above the Ming Dynasty military position, there is actually no official position such as Chief Military Officer.

There is no fixed rank for the Chief Military Officer. Initially, it was just a wartime official position, held by military generals sent by the imperial court to control troops and horses. Generally, they would be taken back immediately after the war. However, in the middle and late stages, in some border areas that have been disturbed for a long time,

, this chief military officer gradually replaced the commander-in-chief of Dusidu and became the highest military officer in the local area.

This operation is very similar to the governor system among civil servants.

At first, the governor only visited places on behalf of the imperial court. As time went by, he became a permanent resident, replaced the chief envoy, and became the local leader.

Therefore, although Qi Jiguang is now the deputy chief military officer of Zhejiang, his official position is not actually the deputy chief military officer, but a deputy commander of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Commander's Department.

And Tongzhi Zuo, who has now been promoted to the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army, controls the Zhejiang Commander-in-Chief, which is equivalent to being promoted from deputy commander-in-chief to chief military officer.

Of course, in terms of affiliation, he is still under the jurisdiction of Hu Zongxian, the Governor of Zhizhe. After all, the authority of the Governor of Zhizhe is to control the military affairs of Zhejiang, Fujian, Southern Zhili and other areas.

"I, Qi Jiguang, must die to serve the country! I will live up to His Majesty's grace!"

Qi Jiguang thumped his head, making a loud bang.

His kowtow is not a loss at all.

After all, Qi Jiguang this year was not yet thirty, and no general in his twenties could be found in the entire Ming Dynasty.

"Stop kneeling and get up and talk business."

Ji Boying patted Wang Zhi's shoulder, then pulled up a chair and sat down. Immortal Jiajing followed suit and also pulled up a chair and sat next to Ji Boying.

Hu Zongxian, Qi Jiguang and Xu Wei all took a deep breath before standing up. Of course they didn't dare to sit down, so they all stood with their heads down.

As for Wang Zhi.

Boss Wang took a deep breath, half of the cigarette burned, and then white smoke billowed out of his nose.

This operation is very familiar.

Obviously, as a business leader in East and Southeast Asia, Boss Wang has long seen tobacco similar to cigarette rolls from the Spanish, but he has never seen such refined tobacco.

He took off the cigarette from the corner of his mouth, stood up, and stared at Ji Boying and the Jiajing Immortal.

"I wonder what kind of deal your Majesty, Immortal Master, is going to negotiate with Mr. Wang."

Immortal Jiajing didn't say anything because he didn't know either. He just looked at the Pirate King, making Wang Zhi tremble all over.

After all...

This is the emperor!

In Ji Boying's eyes, the emperor was a very ordinary creature.

But in the eyes of any subject of the Ming Dynasty, even a pirate king like Wang Zhi, the emperor is an absolutely supreme being.

"The Ming Dynasty can allow you to have freedom of movement and free sea trade."

The words are over.

Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment, and uncontrollable ecstasy appeared on his face.

He has been waiting for this day for too long!

Everyone knows that Wang Zhi is a great pirate who runs all over the southeastern coast, and he even established a 'country' in Japan. But in his heart, Wang Zhi still believes that he is a member of the Ming Dynasty, a descendant of the Han family, and a person who lives on land.

Descendants of Yan and Huang.

From the original historical line, it can be seen that Wang Zhi was recruited by Hu Zongxian when his army was strong and his horse was strong. It can be seen that Wang Zhi always wanted to go ashore.

Otherwise, with his strength at that time, thousands of people under his command, and massive amounts of silver support, he could live a happy life overseas, and the Ming Dynasty would have no way to deal with him.

"However, there are several conditions."

Ji Boying glanced at Wang Zhi, who was in a state of excitement.

Sure enough, whether you are a man or a woman, you are forced to go to the sea and have no choice.

"As long as the imperial court allows me free sea trade, I, Wang Zhi, will agree to it no matter what the conditions are."

Jiajing Immortal frowned slightly.

Of course he has heard of Wang Zhi's name. Based on his past attitude towards maritime bans, he must kill this smuggler until he dies.
