Late Ming sea owl

Chapter 25
Lin Hai laughed loudly: "Brother Qi, a shipment of goods is worth at least tens of thousands of taels, but I don't know how much it costs to buy the goods?"

Li Zhongguo was furious when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and took two deep breaths, but he did not take action after all.Lin Hai's meaning is very clear: If you want to offend the Li family, why do you need to charge such a small amount of money to buy the way? If you rob someone once, you can collect protection fees for many years. You are not afraid of retaliation from others.

To be honest, pirates who rely solely on robbery for a living these days are having a miserable time. Small merchants have little capital, and the ships are full of worthless seafood, but large merchants do not dare to rob them.Pirates at the Pearl River Estuary often engage in unprofitable jobs, such as stealing rice fields on sandbanks and robbing coastal fishing villages.

At that time, Xie Tianyou had too many brothers under his command, so he had no choice but to go ashore and rob big families, otherwise he would not be able to feed so many mouths.This is a typical example of dying after having too much fun. Xie Tianyou was quickly put on the blacklist of the governor of Guangdong. A warrant was sent to the Macau Council, and he was immediately killed by the Portuguese.

The reason why large merchants give gifts to the handlers on the routes every year is to put it bluntly, they are afraid that these people will go crazy if they are too poor and everyone will rob them. To put it mildly, it is to buy passage money, and to put it worse, it is to send beggars away. This can be regarded as the unwritten world of the sea. rule.

Lin Hai saw that Li Zhongguo was sullen and silent, and then said: "The two leaders Ma and Xu don't want to vote for my sworn brother. This is because everyone has his own ambitions. If any brothers are willing to join these two brothers, I will have no objection. As the old saying goes, strong is strong. The twisted melon is not sweet. My uncle and fourth brother Zheng, I hope the boss will not force it."

Speaking of which, as long as Li Zhongguo doesn't want to fall out, there's not much point in bargaining.Li Zhongguo stared at Lin Hai for a moment, and the flickering lights illuminated his face.

After a while, he suddenly laughed out loud, sheathed his sword and said, "Okay, I'd rather give you some face for your courage."

Lin Hai breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, he understood that his face was not that great. In the final analysis, he was still wary of Li Guozhu's strength. However, since Li Zhongguo was unwilling to admit it, he certainly would not point it out.

"Thank you very much for your noble support. I am newly married today. Thanks to your respect, I specially sent Military Advisor Jiang to congratulate you. It has given my uncle enough face, so I will make the decision for him. The two-masted ship will be handed over to Ma Er." Taking him away is a way of thanking the master for his support in the past."

The boat in Shibi was only worth a thousand pieces of silver including depreciation. Lin Hai might as well be a good man and give it to Boss Li.What they are talking about here is friendship. With Macau here, he will come back to the Pearl River Estuary sooner or later.Now that the conditions have been agreed upon, the following is considered a meeting gift.

More importantly, Shibi only had a few sampans left, so he could only take his brothers on his last boat, which invisibly elevated his status in the gang.

Li Zhongguo was very satisfied with Lin Hai's meeting gift. He immediately performed a show about how to fall out of love faster than turning the page in a book. He laughed loudly and ordered Military Advisor Jiang: "Send the groom back quickly. The bride must be waiting in a hurry. Now that's done, Li, you also ask for a cup of wedding wine."

He then said to Lin Hai: "Brother Lin, since Li has recognized you as his friend, I will not drink the wedding wine, lest Shi Manzi will feel uncomfortable. Please tell me something for me. Don't let us be separated from each other for many years." If you have any trouble, come to me, someone near the Pearl River Estuary can still protect you."

Lin Hai nodded and thanked him. Boss Li was worthy of having been the eldest brother for so many years. He was still a bit particular about what he said and did. After all, eldest brothers cherish their feathers, and reputation in the world is very important.

Take today's drama as an example. Ma Xuansheng and Xu Guixiang are two young men. Shibi is somewhat inconsistent, but Boss Li is as clean as a white lotus.When Commander Jiang came up, he pretended to think that the four brothers had agreed to surrender to Boss Li, and that he had to wait for Ma Xuansheng to take action first before cleaning up the mess. This was a very good deal.

Lin Hai followed Jiang Jun out of the stern building, went down the gangway and came to the crab boat.The wind was favorable on the return trip. After raising anchor, we used both oars and sails, just like flying on the sea, and soon returned to the last ship.

When everyone on the boat saw Lin Hai coming back, they quickly put down the gangway. Military Advisor Jiang followed Lin Hai onto the last boat and called his men to carry the load of gifts aboard. "Everyone, Brother Lin has made it clear to the head of Li University that this matter is a misunderstanding..."

As soon as Military Advisor Jiang opened his mouth, there were whispers around him, and Ma Xuansheng and Xu Guixiang suddenly changed their colors.The people at the back didn't hear clearly and asked the people in front what was going on. Suddenly there were noisy sounds everywhere.

Upon hearing this, Shi Bi knew that Lin Hai's deal was settled, and he quickly stretched out his hands and shouted: "Brothers, please be quiet and listen to what Military Master Jiang has to say."

Military Advisor Jiang smiled at the stone wall and said to the four brothers: "The leader of Li Da said that these are all brothers. If you want to get on the boat, you will go to drink Qixin wine tomorrow. Those who don't want to get on the boat are still brothers, as long as they are brothers." In this world of the Pearl River Estuary, the head of Li University still protects everyone."

These words were so high-sounding that there was an uproar on board the ship which was silent for the last time.Most people had understood the previous situation, and some of the stupid ones had also communicated with others. Shibi sent Lin Hai to take action. Many people thought he was mad, but they didn't expect that the groom would actually turn the tables.

For a time, hundreds of eyes fell on Lin Hai.They didn't know much about the elder's sister-in-law. When they saw that last boat, many people were wondering about his identity. Now when he takes action, he even wants to give face to Boss Li. Who is this person?
Lin Hai came to Shibi and whispered in his ear: "I have tried my best. Boss Li will not force you and Brother Zheng. But Brother Ma and Brother Xu have accepted them. If anyone is willing to follow them to join Boss Li, we will It can’t be stopped.”

Shibi nodded, these are the proper meanings of the question.Lin Hai said again: "Boss Li not only wants people, but also ships. I deduce that the three-masted Japanese ship was helped by Li Guo. Fortunately, the big one was saved, but your two-masted ship was not saved. If Jiang Junshi asked about the Japanese Ship, don’t say that you let anything slip. Remember! Remember!”

Shi Bi was a little annoyed. Boss Li wanted to be a bitch and build an archway. Jiang Junshi didn't say these words, but wanted him to speak.Until now, he had no choice. In the final analysis, Boss Li was just trying to save face for Li Guo, and he, the head of the family, had no say.

Holding his breath, Shi Bi stood up on the stool, stretched out his hands and pressed in the air: "Brothers, listen to Mr. Shi. Do you understand what Military Advisor Jiang said? I hope Mr. Shi, the boss of Tooli, will not force him to stay. Big guy When the two brothers meet, the brig will be given to the brother who is leaving, which is a little bit of my kindness as a big brother."

He said and handed over to everyone: "Boss Li is my big brother in the past. Whether he leaves or stays, we are still brothers. You guys just eat and drink as much as you want tonight, and keep your fill of food and wine."

The wedding banquet was finally held. Ma Xuansheng and Xu Guixiang felt bored and gave up their seats at the main table to Jiang Junshi, and simply went to drink on the brig.Basically, those who wanted to leave followed, and those who didn't want to leave on the Guangzhou boat boarded the last boat or the serial sampan.

Lin Hai made a visual inspection and found that half of the people were leaving, and there were about 30 people left.That's enough. With these people as the backbone and a group of new people recruited, it's like setting up a gang.

After all, having too many people left behind was a good thing for Shi Bi, but not necessarily for him.
