On the Berth Pier, Xu Chuanyin's face was somber: "What do you mean there won't be a fight?"
Chen Zhang sighed: "Sir, Wang Zhi has repeatedly petitioned the court, all requesting the lifting of the sea ban. His writings have claimed that the sea ban cuts off livelihoods, forcing people into banditry. Opening the sea would ease the people's lives, eliminate piracy, and increase custom duties for the state… I guess what the Anti-Japanese Army is doing now is exactly what he wants."
Xu Chuanyin angrily retorted: "Really lost his senses. The stricter the sea ban, the greater the benefits of the sea trade. Why does he, a pirate, keep clamoring to lift it? Wouldn't everyone come to compete with him if the ban is lifted?"
