Chapter 403: The captain’s desire to die

and so.

Zhu Feng shouted from the deck: "Where is the official second only to Li Hu on this ship?"

"My subordinate is here!"

As soon as Zhu Xi finished speaking, he saw a stout captain squeezed out of the crowd.

He shouted with undisguised joy.

Without waiting for Zhu Xi to be civilized, the stout captain saluted and said: "Zhou Xin, a hundred households in the Duwei Mansion, pays homage to His Highness the King of Qin."

"Zhou Xin, Li Hu intends to murder the remnants of the people and has evil intentions. Please put this person in prison as soon as possible."

Zhu Feng didn't waste any time and directly pronounced Li Hu's crime.

Zhu Fang was worried that Zhou Xin would not be willing to do his best, so he rewarded him heavily and said: "As long as you can guarantee that Li Hu will not die unexpectedly before being escorted to the imperial prison, I will guarantee that you will be promoted to the position of Thousand Households. "

Zhou Xin had been working in Baihu for a long time, but he couldn't get promoted, which made him a little frustrated. He didn't expect that this opportunity for promotion would hit him in the face just after he started the mission.

He was immediately overjoyed and said: "Your Majesty, King Qin, please rest assured. I will ensure that Li Qianhu enters the imperial prison unscathed."

It seems that such a guarantee is not substantial enough.

Zhou Xin also added: "His Royal Highness King Qin, if you want to resolve the misunderstanding with the Dan people, it is not enough to just send sailors to stop those driving the fire ships."

"I also know a few people who understand the Dan people's dialect and can help you communicate with them."

This time it was Zhu Xi's turn to be surprised.

He didn't expect that the person he found to replace Li Hu could actually bring him such unexpected joy.

Zhu Xi nodded quickly and said: "Very good, quickly gather people who understand Danmin dialect."

"As long as they can calm the restless people, I will also mark your merits."

Under the heavy reward, Zhou Xin is full of motivation.

Not only did he quickly arrange for his confidants to seal Li Hu's mouth with a cloth strip as he cried for mercy.

Then he was tied up and dragged to the bottom of the cabin, where his henchmen took custody.

At the same time, he also called to the captain who understood the Dan people's language and asked them to gather on the deck.

During this period, Zhu Xi took advantage of his free time and said to several sailors with complicated expressions:

"As long as you can stop those gangsters from lighting fire boats, whether you want promotion or wealth, I can satisfy you."

The honest sailors never thought that they could get benefits by working for the boss.

They all looked at each other several times.

In the end, it was the bronze sailor who stammered: "Your Highness, King Qin, we haven't decided what we want yet. Can you wait until we finish our errands and get back to you?"

Zhu Ping laughed when he heard this.

Then he nodded in agreement and said: "As long as you make your request anytime before I respond to Tianfu."

Several sailors got the answers they wanted, plus the fact that the trip was not about killing poor people.

After greeting each other a few times, they pulled the hemp rope that fell into the water on the deck, and with agility that did not match their dull personalities, they quietly fell into the water along the rope.

In less than a moment, they were seen going upstream and appeared around several fire ships.

Then, black shadows flashed across the ship, and all the torches on the ship were extinguished.

At this time, Zhou Xin, who was slightly out of breath, also came to Zhu Ping with a dozen captains who knew Danmin dialect.

Although Zhou Xin seems to be reliable and able to get things done.

After the puppet passed by, Zhu Xi still asked the captain: "Can you communicate with the people without any barriers? There will be no ambiguity in the words?"

Nowadays, although the Ming Dynasty has implemented the Hongwu official rhyme.

But those who can speak Mandarin are mostly officials and scholars.

It is too common for ordinary people to have different accents even across a mountain. As for the Dan people who have been living on the boat.

What they say is probably even more different from people on land.

Zhu Ping was worried that the Dan people were already hostile.

Furthermore, the difference in language deepened the misunderstanding between the two parties.

It was a trivial matter for him to make this trip in vain, as he was afraid of ruining Mr. Lin's naval plan.

Faced with Zhu Ming's concerns, Zhou Xin glanced at the school captain who was standing in a group.

Someone immediately assured me: "Don't worry, Your Majesty the King of Qin. My home is on the coast, and my home sells oil. People often come to my home to buy oil. What they speak is not much different from the Mandarin in the southeast."

Immediately afterwards, several more captains from coastal areas gave similar answers and also spoke a few words in Danmin dialect.

Zhu Ping listened to their assurances and felt that there were no loopholes.

The Danmin dialect spoken by several people is quite similar to what they said.

Bian nodded and said: "Very good, wait until those gangsters driving the fire boats are captured."

"Just tell them that I have no ill intentions towards the Dan people, and I also have a big gift for them."

The captain, who understood Danmin dialect, felt that this was just a trivial matter, so he nodded in agreement.

But Zhou Xin didn't know whether he was eager to achieve meritorious service or coveted Zhu Xi's lap.

He actually hurriedly suggested: "Your Highness, King Qin, it is enough to leave two people for translation."

"For the rest, you should send them to sail to the gathering place of the Dan people first and tell everyone your purpose of coming."

"Lest they see the fire attack being frustrated and run away in a swarm under the cover of night, then their success will be in vain."

After all, Zhu Xi still lacks some political experience.

I never thought of the possibility that Zhou Xin mentioned.

However, he had studied with Lin Che for so long, and he was not the kind of playboy who didn't understand the ways of the world.

I know if Zhou Xin follows.

Order these captains to take risks in the dens of the Dan people.

Maybe, when it gets too bright, the small boats these people are riding in will not be able to reach the Dan people's boat nests.

After all, when the people show hostility.

And asking them to go to the enemy's lair is no different than asking them to die.

Therefore, Zhu Xi not only rejected Zhou Xin's proposal.

He also pointed out the danger directly: "Now the Dan people still don't know the purpose of this king's coming here."

"If these captain brothers approach in their boats, the Dan people will also send some people who are proficient in water properties to drag them into the water."

"Isn't Zhou Qianhu's plan trapping this king into injustice?"

These ten or so captains, who were proficient in the words of the people, were all prepared to die.

Unexpectedly, His Highness King Qin, who was supposed to be aloof and ignored the life and death of his subordinates, would actually be so concerned about their safety. Many people were deeply moved for a while.

Zhou Xin didn't know what Zhu Xi was thinking, and said in surprise: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, we and other captains are the emperor's own soldiers."

"I'm on this trip under His Majesty's orders, and I'm following your orders. Naturally, I should go through fire and water for you. How can I not refuse to do so when I'm in danger?"

Zhou Xin's loyal words were an impassioned speech.

However, the dozen or so captains standing next to him all rolled their eyes.

I dare you not to take the risk and deal with that group of people.
