Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 697
"You really deserve it!" Zheng Bao patted him on the shoulder solemnly, "Just do it like this. You find a chance and get in touch with that Shi or something as soon as possible! He can do whatever money he wants! Let him be the third Lu Boss, give him another seven or eight boats! If he wants to be an official, let Li Chao make him a high official! Bigger than his Australian official!"

"This is one of them." Wang You said seriously, "Boss, all of our methods are slanted! It is best not to leave if you can!"

"What do you mean?" Zheng Bao continued to ask him even though his face was impatient.

"The best strategy is to form an alliance with the Australians." Wang You said, "The Australians are very powerful now, and there is a vague tendency to fight against the shopkeeper Zheng Da. It is better to be friends than to be enemies."

Wang You repeatedly explained to Zheng Bao that the Australians are definitely not easy to mess with, and once enemies are formed, it may be difficult for their own strength to fight against them.It is better for both sides to maintain peace.

"...Even if you give them some more benefits, it doesn't matter if they are the leader of the alliance. Isn't it more convenient to do things with an Australian hat on your head? At worst, this hat can't be worn anymore, so let's set up another banner .”

Zheng Bao thought about it silently for a while.Finally, he slapped his legs fiercely.

"Damn it, let's do it like this. I also learn from Han Xin!" He said to Wang You: "Military teacher! I will listen to you on this matter! But we can't agree to the conditions of the Australians."

"That is, that is, if you promise, the people and the boat will become his family."

"That's right, we still need to catch up on these costs." Zheng Bao turned to Jin Caifa and said, "Ah Fa! You still have to run a few more times."

"It's okay, it's all up to the shopkeeper's orders!"

"Go and tell that Haiyang, Zheng Bao, I am willing to regard them as the leader of the alliance - of course, you have to use their banner. If you rob things, take the ransom, and give them a third of the seat, they robbed us need nothing."

"This, it's too cheap for them..."

"Don't be too busy." Zheng Bao thought confidently, "We don't want his salary. However, one day our brothers will come to Lingao to anchor and repair the ship, and they will also have to support it."

After Zheng Bao finished this article, he added another article: "But we have to explain to them clearly that we are listening to the instructions and not listening to the announcement, so don't try to casually assign our brothers to fight for them. Do you want to fight together, who will fight?" , we all need the consent of our brothers.”

"Okay," Jin Caifa said, "I'll leave tomorrow."

"Don't be busy, you can rest for two days first." Zheng Bao said, "We are too anxious to lose our position-we have a hundred and ten boats waiting, and the Australian boats don't dare to run around casually, do they?"

He then said to Wang You: "If this doesn't work, let's pull Shi or something over and beat him hard! Let them know how powerful it is! Don't think that you can dominate the sea with a few fast boats!"

"Okay." Wang You didn't dare to say that if you can't make a deal, you should run away immediately, instead of seeking death and fighting. "The shopkeeper has calculated everything, and he is really careful."

"Master Wang, how sure are you of moving Shi Shishi to turn his back on you?" Jin Caifa said to Wang You in the cockpit.

"Between five and five." Wang You said, "Shi Shishi has voted for the Australians for a long time, and I don't know how he is doing with the Australians? If he does well, it will be very difficult."

In Wang You's view, there is not even a number of five or five.There is at most [-]-[-]% certainty.If Shi Shishi had just voted for Kun, it would probably not be difficult to convince him.Now that he is more or less at a certain level among the Australians, it will be difficult to persuade him to start anew.

"I don't think he looks very good. He's wearing homemade clothes like those of a gangster. When our brothers went to battle, even a young boy wore silk clothes!"

Wang You let out a laugh, and nodded Jin Caifa's head: "You have grown a head for nothing! What are a few clothes? Have you seen that the big bosses of the Australians all wear homespun clothes? I can't be sure. In Australia, only the rich and powerful wear homemade cloth, and ordinary people can only wear silk!"

"If you want to persuade Shi Shishi, you can only pay a lot of money. Probably there is still hope!" Wang You said, "It depends on how much money the big shopkeeper is willing to pay."

Although Zheng Bao said that "it is easy to handle as much money as you want", Wang You knew that the official bank in the old camp only had more than 1 silver in the treasury, so it would be good to spend at most 3000 taels.It's hard to say whether this amount of money can move Shi Shishi.

Wang You made up his mind: "I'll take care of this matter."

"You go by yourself?"

"Yes, anyway, I used to be the old battalion manager of all the big shopkeepers. He, Shi Shishi, would always give me a little face-even if the negotiation fails, he will not turn his face and deny people."

Wang You and Zheng Mi talked about it, and agreed to go to Hong Kong Island to negotiate in the name of being willing to contribute.Then there was an opportunity for the two sides to bargain, and he managed to sneak into Shi Shishi's boat and have a secret talk.

After resting for two days, Jin Caifa set off again with the mission.This time his team was much bigger, with more than 40 people.He also drove a two-masted rice boat, which was filled with rewards such as pigs, sheep, wine, and so on. Zheng Bao was really willing to spend the price, and selected a dozen pieces of precious jewels from his collection of gold and silver treasures as gifts. As gifts from Chen Haiyang and others, they also picked some jewelry as a meeting gift for Wang You to buy Shi Shishi.

Chen Haiyang received the mission again, and after hearing a basketful of compliments, he still didn't understand what Jin Caifa's purpose was.After talking for a while, I realized that Jin Caifa was actually bargaining with himself.

The request made by the pirates is nothing more than that the team cannot be broken up, but must still be connected as one.And we must "listen to the tune and not the announcement."Chen Haiyang has never figured out what this hypocritical "listen to the tune but not to the announcement" really means.But he got it at last: the pirates demanded their own utmost independence.The plan proposed by Zheng Bao is actually a loose alliance, or an agreement for everyone to rob and share the spoils.

Chen Haiyang certainly disagrees with such a formulation.Although the battle to enter the Pearl River Estuary this time was to have as much impact as possible, but he did not want the Ausong brand to be ruined by a group of pirates, so he finally rejected Zheng Bao's suggestion.

While the two sides were bargaining, Wang You had already got ashore among the entourage carrying gifts.He took this opportunity to take a good look at the hull number of Shi Shishi's ship, and observed the surrounding terrain and sentries.

When Wang You took a closer look, he found that many of the Australian boats looked similar to the Cantonese ships and Fuzhou boats that are common in the surrounding area, but they had actually been refurbished and refitted.Gun portholes were opened on the side of the ship, and the cannons were installed below the deck.Something like a wheel was installed on the stern.Moreover, many incomprehensible small accessories have been added to the mast of each ship.At first glance, it looks a bit like a red-haired boat.

The sailors on the ship all wore blue and white jackets, looking clean and energetic.It looks neater than the official army.Looks well trained.What surprised him most was that all the sailors were busy all the time, not wiping the deck, tidying the rigging, or practicing on the deck.Every boat is clean and tidy.This forbidding weather was something he had never seen before.

"Australians are really strange people!" Wang You was secretly surprised in his heart. After suffering such a big loss, all the shopkeepers are unwilling to fight with them. There is indeed a reason for him!Thinking of this, he missed Mr. Zhucai more and more, and was full of contempt for Zheng Bao.

Contempt is all contempt, the plan to persuade Shi Shishi still needs to be carried out.Otherwise, he would not be able to explain to Zheng Bao.

The relationship between Wang You and Zheng Bao is a relationship full of pressure.Zheng Bao doesn't trust Wang You, and Wang You also knows this, so he treats Zheng Bao more and more carefully, tries his best to figure out his mind, speaks according to his mind, and doesn't want to make the relationship with him tense-this kind of cautiousness makes Zheng Bao even more cautious. I don't believe Wang You, I think he always keeps a hand.

This kind of suspicion has become more and more severe recently, forcing Wang You to take countermeasures.

But after observing for a long time, he felt that the Australians were very well-armed.All ships on the sea that are not docked are moored in a certain formation, and they are guarded from the outside to the inside.Outermost are rowboats patrolling.There are front and rear sentries on each ship to monitor the sea at all times.There are also armed guards next to the ships on the trestle.There are also watchtowers.Judging from the piles of firewood accumulated on the shore, such vigilance was carried out day and night.Even a sneaky visit by boat at night is easy to spot.

Wang You is determined to try to see if he can get on the boat in a fair and honest manner.So he and his congren carried a few baskets of fresh fruits and vegetables to the pier, and begged a dummy who was in charge of the boat to drive him to Linte 51.

"I'm going to send these melons, fruits and vegetables to the army one by one, and ask my brother for help." Wang You nodded and bowed, and took out another small red envelope.

"You can't use a small boat without a boat dispatch certificate." The fake gun standing guard swung the bird gun in his hand, "As for these vegetables and so on, they must be sent to the logistics department. They can't be sent directly to the boat."

Wang You added another red envelope: "My brother, please be accommodating..."

"No way, no way." There was a hint of greed in the fake Kun's eyes, so that Wang You felt hopeful.But it disappeared in an instant, "Take your money, I'm done, let's go!"

Wang You returned without success.He noticed several fishing boats coming over the bay, as if they wanted to sell vegetables and fresh fish to the fleet.This is a good opportunity.But he was soon disappointed to find that all fresh food was purchased uniformly.Fishermen and vegetable sellers are not allowed to approach the big ship, let alone board the ship - they are only allowed to go ashore at designated places for inspection and trading.

So you can't swim to get on the boat?Wang You thought in disappointment: He swam a few miles in the bay in the dark at night, and his water skills are not so good yet.And the black lights are blind, what if they get shot by a sentry as soon as they touch the side of the boat?A small life was sent in vain.
