Start a Ming Dynasty plane

"Senior, you really have to go in person, or I will carry out this mission."

At this time, in front of an island outside Humen, Wei Bao, dressed in coarse clothes that fishermen would wear, rowed a small boat to bid farewell to many students on the shore.

Last night's plan failed, so today we can only implement plan No. [-], and this plan has a high risk factor, but Wei Bao has the confidence to complete it, and this time he is going to personally carry out the task.

Wei Bao looked at his junior on the shore and said, "Nonsense, no one can do this task except me. Can you speak old Hokkien? I have stayed here with old Hokkien fishermen for more than three months, and let me play the role of old Hokkien." Fishermen will never go out of their way, and if you go, you are courting death."

After hearing this, many juniors were still worried: "Senior, if something happens to you, how can we explain to the county magistrate?"

Hearing this, Wei Bao laughed and said, "It's easy to handle, just tell the magistrate that I, Wei Bao, is incompetent, and I'll embarrass him."

After hearing this, the junior wanted to say something else, Wei Bao smiled and said: "It's okay, there are still our people on the island to guide us, and there are dead soldiers to help us distract us, I will be fine."

After Wei Bao finished speaking, he waved to everyone, followed by barefoot, rowing the boat, just like an authentic southern Fujian fisherman, heading for Humen Island.

Today, there are a lot of people going to Humen Island. Zheng Zhilong is the king of Bamin, and it is not easy to meet him. Therefore, the so-called heroes in the local area will try to take advantage of Zheng Zhilong's arrival on the island to visit Zheng Zhilong.

And Zheng Zhilong also wanted to show that he loves the people like a son and has a friendly relationship with the common people, and ordered his subordinates not to hinder these people from coming to see him.

Therefore, on this day, many people will come to Humen to try their luck. Once Zheng Zhilong takes a fancy to him, he will be prosperous.

Wei Bao rowed a small boat to the vicinity of Humen, at this moment he saw a big boat approaching in the distance, saw Wei Bao waved his hand and said, "Stop, what are you doing?"

Wei Bao immediately smiled and said in old Hokkien dialect: "I caught a big yellow-lipped fish and want to present it to an official."

Speaking of which, Wei Bao directly lifted up his own fish basket, and stretched out his hand to grab a big yellow-lipped fish weighing twenty catties, and said, "Look."

The pirates under Zheng Zhilong's command were on board, and he was also from southern Hokkien. Hearing Wei Bao speak fluent old Hokkien dialect, he immediately lost his vigilance. At this moment, two dark men jumped off the boat.

There are no pirates who look fair and clean. The reason is very simple. Whoever is exposed to the wind and sun at sea every day will be very fair, and Wei Bao likes to swim around, so his skin is also dark, which is very similar to the fishermen here. picture.

The two went to Wei Bao's boat to check, and found nothing wrong, and then focused on Wei Bao's bare feet. When Wei Bao's feet were standing, they were separated, like the soles of ducks. Yes, I can't help but believe in Wei Bao's identity as a fisherman. After all, only veteran fishermen can stand like this. The biggest advantage of standing like this is being safe.

"At this time, a pirate reached out his hand to dig out Wei Bao's fish basket, grabbed the big yellow-lipped fish and said happily: "Oh, you are such a big fish. Your lord likes the yellow-lipped fish the most." , you just wait to receive the reward. "

After hearing this, Wei Bao laughed and said, "That's good, that's good."

The two pirates said: "Okay, according to the regulations, your small boat can only stop here, and you can't go near Humen Island. You take your fish basket on board, and we will take you to the island."

"Thank you, brothers. After receiving the reward, I will treat you guys to drink."

Hearing this, the pirate laughed loudly and said, "That's a good relationship, we'll just wait for your drink."

After speaking, Wei Bao boarded their big boat with the pirates, and at this time the big boat was full of people, including fishermen, and many good men who came from nearby after hearing the news. These people were all sitting on the big boat, and they were talking with the pirates They chatted and laughed.

Zheng's pirates get along very well with the local fishermen, and the reason is very simple. Many of the Zheng's pirates are from these old fishermen's families in these eight Fujian provinces. Many of the old fishermen's children and nephews are still in Zheng Zhilong's pirate team It can be said that these fishermen are the old family members of Zheng Zhilong's team.

Their relationship is like the Lantian thieves led by Li Chaosheng and the old Lantian people. They are both old family members and relatives.

So the big guys got together, talking and laughing, without any sense of place, and at this time, a group of pirates were telling stories of their adventures to this group of pirates.

"You don't know, our Zheng family lived the life of a master in Fusang Island. Our family's official was honored as a guest by the Japanese shogun Tokugawa Hidenaka, and we also followed the official. It’s spicy, let me tell you that silver in Fusang country is worthless, we can exchange goods in Fusang for a lot of silver, and we will get rich when we get it back. I went to Fusang twice with an official and exchanged hundreds of dollars. Two silvers, I built a big yard in my hometown, and the girls in the village are rushing to marry me."

"seriously?"

"That can be fake, but we look down on the girls in our village now. Let me tell you, we are on Fusang Island. The Fusang girls are good. They are especially good at serving men, especially on the bed. They are better than our Daming girls." Much more interesting."

"is it?"

As soon as a group of men heard the topic of women, their eyes widened, and they all looked impatient. After hearing this, the pirates said: "Of course, we have tried."

At this time, a fisherman was tempted and said: "If we join the Lord Yiguan, can we also go to Fusang?"

After hearing this, a pirate said: "That's not necessarily true. Our fleet is too big for an official, and one Fusang is not enough, so if you join, you may be arranged to Nanyang besides Fusang. It is also a good place. There are countless people on the island. There are endless spices and all kinds of rare treasures, but many of them are occupied by black monkeys on the island, and we will have to work hard to grab them."

"Black monkey, has the monkey become a spirit?"

"No, it's just the local savages. They speak loudly and are very primitive. Some of them use leaves to cover their ugly buffaloes before they have any clothes on. They still use the most primitive spears. Apart from being physically strong Some are vulnerable, but these wild monkeys are very rich, and they often hide some gold and silver, killing them will make us rich."

Listening to the explanations of the pirates, the fishermen yearned for overseas even more. They all felt that there was a place full of gold, and they all stared at each other, wishing to join Zheng Zhilong's pirate team immediately and go to sea to make a fortune.

I have to say that Zheng Zhilong's public opinion propaganda is very good. As long as this propaganda continues, the Bamin people who want to make a fortune will be Zheng Zhilong's inexhaustible soldiers.

Greed will drive the common people to go to the sea one after another to plunder the wealth on the ocean. Among other things, even Wei Bao is enraged by this group of people. Sure enough, overseas is a fertile land, and such a place It should belong to Lantian, and it should belong to the county lord. Zheng Zhilong is not worthy of owning such land.

Thinking of Wei Bao, he wanted to kill Zheng Zhilong even more. Thinking of Wei Bao, he took a look at his fish basket. The one that weighs twenty catties is the big yellow croaker, and the ones below are the more powerful hand grenades after Lantian's modification, five in total.

And when Wei Bao wants to use it, he just needs to open the cover, and he can take out the grenade for assassination.

Wei Bao thought about following the pirate ship to Humen Port. When he arrived here, Wei Bao found that many people gathered on the island, especially the fishermen from Bamin. Zheng Zhilong is still very popular in Bamin, and the reason is very simple. The land of Bamin used to be just a barren land, a place where the imperial court sent prisoners to come.

The people here are also living in poverty. They can only rely on this small sampan to fish in the sea. Food and drink depend on God. Some fishermen can't even go ashore for a lifetime, they can only live in the sea, and there is a risk of being swallowed by the waves at any time. .

But since the rise of Zheng Zhilong, it has been different. Zheng Zhilong has given them another way out, which is to go to sea to be a pirate. Although being a pirate is dangerous, it is better than being a fisherman. As Zheng Zhilong grows stronger, he can help Bamin There are more people, and Zheng Zhilong is still a visionary. After earning money, he occasionally gives back to the people of Bamin, helping the people of Bamin to build bridges, pave roads, and relieve victims of disasters. His reputation has risen all at once. .

And precisely because of Zheng Zhilong's series of operations, Zheng Zhilong has completely become a great hero in the land of Bamin. As long as he gives orders, the people of Bamin all respect him. This feeling has the posture of a small Lantian County respect Li Chaosheng.

However, Zheng Zhilong is not as good as Li Chaosheng. In Lantian, almost no one hates Li Chaosheng, but in Bamin, there are many people who love Zheng Zhilong, but there are no fewer people who hate Zheng Zhilong.

The root cause is that the family histories of the two are different. Li Chaosheng's family history is not very bloody. Although some people died in the Battle of Six Dayukou, the spread is not wide. In addition, Li Chaosheng's good governance over the years, Give the common people a stable life, and the common people will love Li Chaosheng from the bottom of their hearts.

As for Zheng Zhilong, although what he does is beneficial to the people, in the final analysis, he hopes that the people will be his war population. His purpose is to send the people to the battlefield and die, while Li Chaosheng's purpose is to sincerely hope that the people can live a good life. .

Moreover, in order to fight for the real control of the Bamin Shipping, the big battle between Zheng Zhilong and Liu Xianglao affected many people and made many people grudges. Moreover, all the Bamin people who have been labeled as Liu Xianglao in recent years have had a hard time. It was miserable and often bullied by Zheng Zhilong's subordinates.

This led to deeper grievances, but this was not the case in Lantian. Li Chaosheng treated the offspring of his opponents equally, so when these people lived a good life, who would want to seek revenge from Li Chaosheng.

Wei Bao went ashore with the fish basket in his arms, and when he looked up, he saw seven people hanged from a coconut tree not far away. These people came to the island with evil intentions, and some of them were actually his colleagues, and they came to assassinate Zheng Zhilong. , but before they could activate it, Shi Lang, the captain of the guard here, discovered it and was hanged here.

These people were hanging here, and a group of guards took whips dipped in salt water and beat them severely. The people around were not surprised by this, because every year when Zheng Zhilong came to worship, some people would sneak into the crowd and prepare to assassinate them. Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong knew about this, but he didn't care.

Not to mention being timid and afraid to come, because it is related to Zheng Zhilong's reputation, if he dare not come because of the assassination, then the reputation of Zheng Zhilong's timidity will be spread, and if a pirate has a reputation of being timid, then there is no need mixed up.

So Zheng Zhilong knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to go to the mountains. He must face all this bravely, otherwise his reputation will be rotten.

Wei Bao looked at the people hanging up, and yelled at Zheng Zhilong one by one. Wei Bao didn't say anything while holding the fish basket. At this moment, there was a sudden commotion. Following Wei Bao, he saw Shi Lang walking away with a group of people. come over.

When Wei Bao passed by, Wei Bao smiled at Shi Lang. Shi Lang saw that Wei Bao was holding a fish basket, and he didn't look like he was hiding a sharp weapon. He didn't care about Wei Bao, but came directly to the assassin. Looking at the seven assassins, Shi Lang said, "Hang them up."

After hearing this, the guards directly pulled the rope to mobilize these people. At this moment, Shi Lang stretched out his hand and said, "Bring the bow."

After hearing this, someone immediately brought a longbow to Shi Lang, and the next moment Shi Lang said to someone, "I'll give you a chance, who sent you here, and if there are any accomplices, tell me!"

The guy who was hung up didn't say a word after hearing this, but just looked at Shi Lang with a disdainful expression, Shi Lang bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot it on the man's thigh with a slap, the man suddenly howled.

Shi Lang continued to ask: "Tell me, who sent you here, and are there any accomplices!"

"Pooh."

The man spit directly and almost spit on Shi Lang's face, Shi Lang was furious: "You're courting death!"

As he said that, Shi Lang shot another arrow. This arrow hit his body, but it missed the vital point. The man wailed in pain again, and at the same time kept yelling and cursing: "Shi Lang, I know you, your uncle is also Liu Xiang's old man. People, you also have the same blood as us, but you are willing to be a dog for Zheng Zhilong. If you sell your master for glory, you will not end well. Now they need you, and you still have the value of living. When you lose When it's worth, they'll strangle you like a dog, you traitor, traitor."

Shi Lang's eyes were shattered by that person's scolding, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Kill!"

Hearing this, the guards took out their bows and arrows and killed them all. Shi Lang looked at the crowd and shouted, "Those who want to assassinate an official, they are your role models, so do it yourself!"

Shi Lang said, turned around and left, Wei Bao stroked his chin in the crowd and said, "Interesting."

At this moment, someone suddenly looked towards the sea, and saw a big ship approaching in the distance, and someone recognized him and shouted: "Look, it's the boat of a lord, and the lord is coming."

Seeing this, Wei Bao's expression suddenly became excited, and he turned to a black man hiding in the crowd and said, "Go and tell, Old Chen, I want to eat fish."
