Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 78

Zhu Yuanzhang officially settled in the Hongqi Gang with 500 people on the surface.

Because he brought two British warships plus [-] elites, and made a name for himself in Humen Town, he directly sat on the third position of the Red Flag Gang.

became the third home.

In front of him, apart from Mrs. Zheng Yisao, a sage aunt, there was also a scholar in her 40s, nicknamed Liu Quan, Mr. Iron Pen.

After Zhu Yuanzhang's investigation, it was found that Mr. Tiebi's main task was to manage the smuggling business of the Hongqi Gang.

He has several trade routes from Guangzhou, Fujian, Zhejiang to Japan and Southeast Asia in his hands, which can be said to be extremely powerful.

The Hongqi Gang has been able to survive in the cracks over the years and has maintained a scale of tens of thousands of people. It has a lot to do with the smuggling channels he has mastered and the continuous blood transfusions for the Hongqi Gang.

To be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang was very interested in the inside story of these trade routes, but he knew very well that as a newcomer, it is best to do a good job in his own business first, and be a little "safe and secure".

So on the fifth day after joining the Red Flag Gang, he took his three big boats and more than 20 small boats to sea.

"I'll bet that our third-in-command will come home empty-handed today!" The pirate chief under the command of Mrs. Zheng Yi looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's fleet and laughed teasingly.

"You son of a bitch, it's like no one can see it!"

"These people are really strong, but they are all rookies. There are so many ways at sea, and there are times when they meet with blood!"

"Then let's bet, how many people will they die today?"

"Okay, I'll bet thirty, ten taels of silver!"

"I bet forty, thirty taels!"

"I bet one hundred, five... push my wife!"

"Fuck you motherfucker!"

"Do you have a wife?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's current job is road robbery.

To be honest, this is a technical job, and those who dare to sail on the sea are hard stubble. As a pirate, you must have the minimum eyesight to understand which is a soft persimmon that can be robbed, which is a threat, and can charge a toll. The stubborn things, which one can't even touch, and will be detoured when they see it.

It's all about eyesight.

And eyesight is something that can't be practiced without long-term training.

This is also the reason why those pirate chiefs are so optimistic about Zhu Yuanzhang.

But to be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang is really not afraid.

It's not because he has just joined the pirate group and has developed a pair of fire eyes, but because he has a hang... .

Standing behind him is not just this mere 500 people, but a great Ming Empire.

The first time he went to sea, in order to make sure nothing was wrong, Lao Zhu directly pulled over a large group of generals in the early Ming Dynasty.

These guys took a break from the war in the past two years, and they all went crazy in Nanjing.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang has already beaten it with the help of the history of the late Ming Dynasty, some nobles have only been honest for a few years, and then they start to tremble again, wanting to bully the market and do evil.

Lao Zhu sees all this in his eyes.

Coincidentally, there is also a need for strong manpower here. As soon as Lao Zhu thinks about it, he will pull over and practice again!

There are a total of three main station warships, the first is the captain of the warship Chang Yuchun, the second is the captain of the warship Feng Sheng, and the third is the captain of the warship Deng Yu.

Marquis like Tang Zongsheng, Lu Zhongheng, Zhou Dexing, Hua Yunlong, Geng Bingwen, Fei Ju, and Zhao Yong could only be the captain of the boat.

And a younger generation like Mu Ying could only lean back and be a pioneer.

Such a luxurious lineup.

It doesn't matter if you are a tough guy or a stubborn one, you will turn into a soft persimmon in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, no matter who you are, you will only be kneaded.

The only difference is the magnitude of the force.

So when returning from the sea for the first time, when many pirate leaders were waiting at the pier with smiles on their faces, ready to see Zhu Yuanzhang, the new third-in-command, make a joke, they found that more than 20 ships, large and small, all returned with full load.

"This motherfucker's... hell!" The group of people seemed to have hit a ghost in a hundred days, with an incredible look.

"Hehe, we are lucky!"

"It's all soft persimmons. It's a good start today. Brothers, don't look at it. If you see anything you can use, just take it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the various goods that were being carried out, and waved his big hand proudly.

"Long live the third master!" Many pirate chiefs cheered and swarmed up.

In their dictionary, there is never a word for restraint.

"Brother Hongwu, your way of buying people's hearts is not very clever!" Saint Aunt Zheng Yisao came over and said with a smile.

"What? Saint Aunt is afraid?" Zhu Yuanzhang competed against each other.

"Hehe, I'm afraid, Brother Hongwu, you won't have such good luck next time!" Sister Zheng Yi said noncommittally.

"Don't worry, our luck has always been good!" Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously.

Sister-in-law Zheng smiled at this.

She thought it was Zhu Yuanzhang's joke, but she didn't expect people to be serious.

In the next two months, Zhu Yuanzhang went to sea a total of eight times, and each time he returned with a full load.

At one point it even pulled a boat back.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the other party was a merchant ship of the Yankees. Not only did they not pay the toll, but they even dared to shoot to resist. As a last resort, Zhu Yuanzhang could only kill some people who were really unpleasant, and then pulled him back with the boat.

Sister-in-law Zheng: "...!"

"This person deserves to be a person who dares to kill the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. He really has no bounds!"

"That...Brother Hongwu, you should be a little more restrained in the future. If you offend all the surrounding forces, you will be in trouble then!" Sister Zheng felt that she had to mention this one, in case he took the sky out of the sky. Pierce myself.

"Don't worry, holy lady!"

"We know that most of the merchant ships only charge tolls, and we are also responsible for cruising protection in our jurisdiction. If we encounter other pirates, we will protect them, not all of them will be killed." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed. road.

Sister-in-law Zheng was silent.

He seemed to see the shadow of his husband Zheng Yi and Zhang Baozai in Zhu Yuanzhang.

"This is a person who can achieve great things!" Zheng Yisao thought.

Since you have it in your mind, I won't say more.

However, recently, you should not go to sea. I will be in retreat for a period of time, at least seven days and at most half a month. During this time, you stay in the gang and handle the affairs of the gang for me.

Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised when he heard the words. He had only joined for two months, and this sister-in-law Zheng dared to delegate power to herself like this. She was really not afraid that she would occupy the magpie's nest and occupy her entire Red Flag Gang!

"Okay!" Although he sighed in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with a smile on his face.

Managing a gang is even a trivial matter for him. He promises that a big country can manage it in an orderly manner. How can this small gang of [-] people suffocate him?
