Shaolin Bajue

Chapter 671

Fang Jianming was listening, and he had a plan, two gusts of wind blew out, Wang Baozai let out an "ouch", and said: "Young hero is merciful, I really didn't lie to you."

Fang Jianming laughed dumbly, and said: "Don't worry, I didn't want your life, I just did some tricks on you, if you really help us, and when the Japanese pirates are defeated, I will release the restriction for you. There was a disagreement in the middle, and even led us to be fooled, hey, if I didn’t lift the prohibition for you, your whole body would swell and die after a month, this method is my unique skill, you can’t think of other ideas.”

Wang Baozai broke into a cold sweat and said: "How can I make fun of my own life, young man, don't worry."

Although Chang Wanke is the leader of the officers and soldiers, he has always relied on Lei Hai, so he let Lei Hai handle matters related to Wang Baozai.This time he was ordered to go to sea, firstly because he was ordered to do so, and secondly because he wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune.In all dynasties and generations, how many people who are officials do not want to get rich?What's more, in the Ming Dynasty at that time, although it can't be said to be the best, but the treacherous officials were in power, and those subordinates thought that their salary was too little, so they tried different methods to plunder the common people. , Both farmers and soldiers, it is conceivable that the leaders of the officers and soldiers are also "unlucky".

To be honest, even though Chang Wanke is the head of the naval battalion, his annual income is relatively pitifully small. Now that he finally caught Wang Baozai, a "big fat sheep", how can he kill him? , if Fang Jianming and others were not present, I am afraid that he would call Wang Baozai brothers and sisters.

As soon as Wang Baozai returned, Fang Jianming untied the three men. The three of them admired Fang Jianming's martial arts, and Fang Jianming alone made them almost powerless to fight back. Looking at the group of people who came to fight the Japanese pirates Martial arts people, how can they have different intentions.They followed Wang Baozai just to get rich.

Not to mention how the officers and soldiers rearranged the warship, but to say that after the uproar, Fang Jianming and the others felt tired and returned to their cabins to rest. Fang Jianming slept until noon the next day. During this period, nothing happened. After picking up some things, he came to the bow, and saw Bai Yiyi and Ji Furong were surrounding Lei Hai and Wang Baozai asking about matchlock guns. Seeing Lei Hai and Wang Baozai talking and laughing, he couldn't help but Feel strange.Yesterday, one was an official and the other was a thief. They became so close overnight. In these years, anything can happen.

Suddenly, there was a smell of wine, and he wondered, "Who dares to drink on a warship?" Looking back, he saw Ma He passing by with a reddish face, holding a wine jug in his hand. Seeing Fang Jianming, Ma He said calmly, "So it's Fang Shaoxia."

Fang Jianming said: "Brother Ma, you..."

Ma He said: "Do you want to drink?"

Fang Jianming said: "This..."

Ma He said: "Don't worry, there are all my brothers on board, and they all know that I have this problem."

Fang Jianming felt that this person was a little "unusual" early on, and said with a smile: "Since Brother Ma sincerely invites you, I'd rather be obedient than respectful."

At that moment, the two came to Ma He's room. Of course, the room in the warship is not big, but it will never be too large to accommodate a table. Ma He closed the door and took out two cups. This was the first time Fang Jianming saw Passing this kind of cup, said: "Brother Ma, this cup doesn't seem to be from our Central Plains."

Ma He said: "That's right, it's something for Westerners."

Fang Jianming became even more suspicious, how could he have things for Westerners?Take yesterday as an example, he could see at a glance that the firearm in Wang Baozai's hand was called a matchlock gun, which was also a very strange thing.

Seeing Fang Jianming's suspicious expression, Ma He smiled and said, "I have an uncle who went to the West, and he gave me these two cups."

Fang Jianming said "oh" after hearing this, and didn't ask any further questions.

Ma He poured him a glass of wine and said, "You need this kind of glass to drink this kind of wine, otherwise it won't taste right."

Previously, Fang Jianming only smelled the wine lightly, but now that the wine was in front of him, he realized that he had never drunk this wine before.

"This is wine, drink it." Ma He said.

Fang Jianming picked up the cup, took a sip, and felt a bit bitter, a bit spicy, then a bit sweet, and finally it was mellow and rich, which made people have an endless aftertaste. He was overjoyed, and said: "This is the first time I have drunk this Wait for the wine."

Ma He raised his cup, suddenly seemed very excited, and said, "Fang Shaoxia, I toast you."

Fang Jianming quickly raised his glass and said, "Don't dare, dare not."

The two of them drank up the wine in their cups, and Ma He laughed suddenly, and read: "The luminous cup of grape wine, if you want to drink the pipa, call it immediately. Lord Mo Xiao, who is drunk on the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times."

Laughing loudly, he poured another glass for himself and Fang Jianming, and said, "Fang Shaoxia, I haven't had such a good time in a long time, come on, let's have another glass."

Fang Jianming heard something from his laughter. Seeing that he had nothing to say, he didn't ask. After the two had a drink, Fang Jianming asked him about pirates and Japanese pirates. In Fang Jianming's heart, Japanese pirates are Fusang people who rob houses along the coast, but they don't know much about pirates.

After drinking some wine, Ma He talked too much, so he told what he knew about Japanese pirates and pirates.As mentioned earlier, most of the Japanese pirates in the early Ming Dynasty were Fusang people. Among these people, there were fishermen, farmers, businessmen, warriors, and ronin. When they made a fortune, they armed themselves and burned, killed and looted the residents along the Ming Dynasty and the Koryo coast. Not only that, they also plundered merchant ships at sea, and sometimes they pretended to pay tribute when they encountered officers and soldiers.Although the Japanese pirates at this time would not have become a serious disaster for the Ming Dynasty, they were still a headache.

As a result, the Ming Dynasty regarded the "maritime ban" as a major policy to prevent Japanese pirates. Private ships were not allowed to go to sea, that is, private people were not allowed to go to sea to do business. It is to put an end to the normal way of earning a living for sea people.Therefore, there were some people who secretly went to sea to do business without concealing the imperial court's ban on sea. In today's words, they can also be called maritime merchants. The Ming court regarded them as "anti-people" and called them pirates, or pirates, pirates Cole and so on.

Chinese pirates have a long history. As early as the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a man named Sun En and a man named Lu Xun once led the maritime uprising. They had nearly a million troops under their banners, crossing the East China Sea and the South China Sea. They are the ancestors of the Central Plains pirates.Take the end of the Yuan Dynasty as an example, in Zhejiang and Jiangsu, there was a man named Fang Guozhen, nicknamed "Haijing", who ran across the sea, robbed grain transportation, and was extremely powerful. Later, he surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang. After his death, Zhu Yuanzhang even set up a sacrifice for him. .Zhu Yuanzhang set such a precedent. Although Wang Baozai is regarded as a pirate, it is not unreasonable for him to be recruited by the court.

The pirates in this period were not very powerful. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, there appeared several big pirates that shocked the world, namely Wang Zhi, Xu Hai and others. They were both merchants and pirates. When the power was the strongest, they challenged the imperial court to open up maritime trade. If the imperial court refused, they attacked the city and looted the pond, making the officers and soldiers invincible. It is a pity that these people became Japanese pirates in disguise, and finally ended up being executed by the imperial court. kill.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there appeared a giant at sea named Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong's father. He was a businessman, a pirate, and an official.

These are digressions, just to show that pirates are not all traitors.Some of them smuggle domestic goods, travel far and wide, buy them to other countries, and get huge profits from them. Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty had always followed Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral precepts. If they couldn't surrender, they would trap and kill them wantonly. Only the coastal people suffered.For the Japanese pirates who invaded the coastal residents and did all kinds of evil, it is another matter for the imperial court to send troops to attack.

The two talked and drank. Although there were no appetizers, they didn't feel dull.Drinking is based on the mood. If you insist on having everything ready before drinking, you will fall into a cliché.

After an unknown amount of time, the two of them drank almost every drop of a jug of wine. Ma He stood up and asked for it. Fang Jianming hurriedly got up and said, "Brother Ma, no need."

Ma He said: "In these years, it's rare to meet someone like you, how can you not have a good drink?"

Fang Jianming said: "Brother Ma, if you want to drink to your heart's content, after defeating the Japanese pirates, I will make up my mind to confess to you."

After thinking about it, Ma He felt that now is not the time to be happy, and said: "Okay." Just as Fang Jianming was sent out of the hatch, a strange bird call could be heard faintly, and it turned out that the sound was the cry of a crane.Ma He was fine, but Fang Jianming was overjoyed. Through telepathy, he had already felt the voice of "Kirin Rat" calling him, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Ma He, and quickly ran out of the cabin.

At this time, I saw many officers and soldiers and the surrendered pirates standing on the bows of the boats, all looking at the eastern sky, Long Biyun and other pretty girls stood on the bows, and the sea breeze blew up, lifting the skirts of the girls, like fairies Usually, it is unknown who was the first to look at them, and soon, all eyes turned away from the east and turned to Liu Nu.

Although the six girls were aware of it, but because they heard the call of the big white crane, they really wanted to see the big white crane and the Qilin mouse, so they stood motionless on the bow of the boat and watched. They are Long Biyun, Dongfang Tianjiao, Zhu Hongshou, and on the right are Bai Yiyi, Bai Yiren, and Ji Furong.Heipao, Duan Yanzong and others came out of the cabin, seeing this situation, no one stepped forward to disturb them, for fear that they would destroy this wonderful scenery by going up.

At this time, I saw a white spot in the east sky flying towards this end. The white spot came very fast, and it was approaching in a short while, and its body could be clearly seen, it was the big white crane Ahua.Amao the Kylin Mouse sat on the back of the big white crane, leaning out half of his body, screaming triumphantly and happily, waving his forelimbs, his appearance was very funny.
