Win the Ding 1617

The two armies were divided into three or four strongholds and entered a dull confrontation period.They all hope that the opponent will move first, hope to find flaws in the opponent's actions, and then defeat the enemy in one battle, and deal a fatal blow to the opponent.

Nan'ao Island, Dongshan Island, Guang'ao Bay, and Jinsha sea are all silent.The passing ships all flew by with their tails between their legs. Both sides turned a blind eye to these ships and fell into a state of no war on the western front.

At least, on the surface.

But what is the truth?

The sea breeze blew across the winter sea, shaking the ships moored on the sea, and blowing a burst of cold air into the barracks.

In the captive camp, there is no sign of the end of the year and the end of the year, and the melancholy of being a prisoner.

If the prisoner camp is not strictly guarded and cannot go out at will, these more than a thousand prisoners of the Zheng army would almost miss leaving. Oh, it seems that most of these guys are from Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, which are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles from Sichuan. Woolen cloth!

In the same tent as that of the Southern Guangdong Army, everyone was provided with thick cotton-padded clothes and quilts for the winter, and a tent with a dozen people was equipped with a briquette stove for fear of the cold.

"Just eat good food and treats every day. If we continue to raise them like this, we will gain a few catties of fat!" A few veterans of the Zheng family have just finished their lunch. You can also see a lot of tofu, a pork kidney lunch box full of sticky rice, four sand bowl-sized white steamed buns strung on the chopsticks, and the hot clam and egg drop soup in your mouth.The heads of everyone who ate it were steaming in the cold.

"What? Isn't it good to have good food and food? The people of the Southern Guangdong Army are not cannibals. Could it be that we will kill and eat meat if they are fattened?"

A few veterans teased each other, but they were actually reassuring themselves.

Since they were captured, the wounded were healed, the sick were healed, and those who were healthy were gathered in one place to be fed and raised.One or two days is okay, and it has been like this for seven or eight days in a row, so people can't help but feel suspicious.

"Come out and assemble!"

After the meal, they cleaned up the eating utensils, washed all the utensils and returned them to the kitchen (for safety reasons. The captives are forbidden to have chopsticks, spoons and other things that may be processed into sharp tools.) Everyone is preparing to take a full ride Afterwards, in a sleepy state, he went to chat with Duke Zhou.Unexpectedly, there were bursts of sharp whistles in the prison camp.

"It's finally here!" Several veterans looked at each other, with wry smiles on their faces.

"I don't know how we will die. We were taken to the sea, hacked one by one, and kicked the corpse into the sea with one kick? Or were we tied up, taken to the open sea and thrown? Or stabbed and shot. Puncture a transparent hole?"

People secretly speculated.He walked out of his tent slowly.

"Go back and get your stools! Go to the theater in front of the Sea God Temple!" A few vicious guards stared at this group of lifeless guys.Don't hit one place when you are angry.

In front of the Sea God Temple, hundreds of villagers from Guang'ao Bay had already gathered here, and there were more than [-] soldiers from the Southern Guangdong Army scattered around to guard and suppress the order.

Gongs and drums sounded.Someone set up a water sign on the entrance of the stage, and someone who could read read it quietly, "Ode to Coral?" This play sounds like a popular Gaojia opera tune in southern Fujian, but it seems that I have never heard of Gaojia opera such as this one. play?

A few veterans were still anxious, the stage was already full of people, and amidst the sound of gongs and drums, the good show began.

After a few lines of singing, I originally planned to whistle on the stage to tease Xiao Dan and Hua Dan's captives when the guards and suppressing soldiers around were not paying attention. Performing on stage.

Because it is something they are familiar with.

Humei, the daughter on Coral Island, is the daughter of a small businessman and sailor, and has a lover, Aqing, who is also a sailor.His father, Lao Shunde, capsized in a sea storm and lost his capital. In desperation, Lao Shunde and Ah Qing had to go to Coral Island, Longtou Mountain, and Laoniu Island to work as sailors on the boat of Grandma Qigu, the fisherman and owner of the boat. Trying to pay off the debt owed by Donkey Roll, and redeem Humei who was sent to work as a maid in Qigu's grandma's house because of debts.

However, being a sailor on a ship is the same as being a small businessman in the Dan Gang, because of the cruel oppression and exploitation of the ship owner, they can't make much money.By the way, because the Zheng family monopolized the commercial routes and trade, the old Shunde had to take the risk of going out to sea in a stormy day, trying to grab a time difference and earn some hard money, and the ship capsized and went bankrupt.

And this old Shunde, who used to fight with Grandma Qigu when he was young because of fighting for the fishing ground, naturally would not live very comfortably on the boat of Grandma Qigu's house.Because, today's grandma Qigu is not what she used to be because she joined the Zheng family and joined the Zheng's maritime business group.

"Zhen Sandao occupies the four seas and dominates the corals. He is not as rich as Captain Zheng. Even though Emperor Zhu is the ruler of the world, Seventh Grandma is no less inferior to him on the island!"

"The sea of ​​bitterness is filled with clouds and mist, the poor fishermen are tortured, Brother Aqing is forced to hide in the mainland, half a year has passed from winter to spring, and the vast ocean is separated from the sound. In which year and which month will he return to his hometown? The father who has no food at home is sick, and visiting the door to ask for excuses is like frying oil. When will the dark clouds in the sky disperse, and when will the fishermen see the sun? Waiting for a thousand waves, hoping for a sunny day?!"

"The solitary lamp reflects the shadows and the night air is cold, and I hate infinite prisons. The Yuba's deep house is just like the palace of the king of hell, and the tears and blood of the fishermen are reflected in the evening shadows. Standing on both sides of the bull's head and horse face, it is gloomy and gloomy. In the world. The sound of the drums was slow at first watch, listening to the waves descending on the beach and shooting at the south bank, looking out the window at the moon on Dongshan Mountain, my heart was surging like a tide, and I hated flying to Longshan Mountain without wings. Hey, daddy...you cross the sea to go to the heart of a fisherman One piece, chopping the waves and setting sail, I hope the savior will quickly rectify the situation, and the flying boat will reach Hutou beach as soon as possible."

Except for these arias that flowed into the captives' hearts bit by bit like a stream, allowing them to hum casually, this performance team from Hue, which was trained by Li Muhua in the past, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. .Throughout the course of the story, it shamelessly implanted countless used and even indispensable Nanzhong products that people have seen.

"Look, this high-quality Nanzhong rice originally cost one liang of silver and one stone, but the master of the host was very merciful and thought it was not easy for you, so he sold it to you for five coins!" The clown is chanting on the stage.Turning your head to the audience in the audience is an inner monologue! "Actually, the transportation from Nanzhong is only two coins! These poor ghosts!"

The same behavior of placing advertisements and peeling and washing faces also includes, "Hey! Look, the best Nanzhong fine salt, vegetable oil, and dyed cotton cloth, calico, are all cheap goods that the boss rewards everyone, don't make money The money. As long as everyone is grateful for the kindness of the boss when they use it!"

same.The buffoon playing the butler turns his head to face the audience. "Don't make money? If I don't make money, how can I be worthy of my hard work in Nanzhong? If I don't make him double and triple our own pockets, I'm sorry for myself!"

The audience in the audience began to slowly become a little commotion, this kind of trick.This behavior is not uncommon in Zheng's group. The big and small ship owners paid their military salaries, and then brought out a variety of daily necessities, claiming to sell them to sailors and soldiers at cost prices, but it turns out that the secret is here !

Which one didn't have a girl hidden in the bottom of my heart at home, who was determined to marry her into the family, and then ventured to the sea to be a sailor, enduring the harsh environment, hard-to-swallow diet, and high-intensity physical labor?However, the cruel reality is far more heart-piercing than the drama.When they save up a meager income and plan to go back to their hometown to marry the girl in their hearts, they often hear the sad news that the girl is taken as a concubine by the ship owner or the ship owner's relatives.

When it was staged that Grandma Qigu was going to promise Humei, who had been sold to the mansion, to be the concubine of the ninth concubine under one of her capable shipowners, the atmosphere finally exploded.

"I suddenly heard that the captain wanted me to marry, and my heart was full of resentment. You are devoid of conscience and inhumanity, and you hide a knife in your smile. Even if there are mountains of gold and silver, I can't buy my daughter's heart."

"Hey! Sister Hu, you have to think clearly. Grandma Qigu found this marriage for you, but how much thought did she spend? Marrying into the owner's house, eating oil and wearing silk, you wear gold and silver. Say, look! Your father's medicine was delivered sixty times at once!"

The clown who plays the butler looks repulsive with the tofu cubes outlined on his face.

"Actually, this medicine is not worth much, it's just a few cents of money as a finished medicine! However, I can't help these poor ghosts from not knowing about it..." The clown was introducing to the audience that this medicine can heal sister Hu When a prisoner under the stage viciously picked up his own bamboo stool and threw it at the clown and grandma Qigu like throwing a shot put, "I'll make Niam!" A tiger pounced Then he rushed to the stage, and made a gesture to jump on the stage. Behind him, there were a few captives who rushed up with him, shouting and cursing, and there was chaos in the square.

After the play has been performed like this, there is naturally no way to continue it, not to mention that the clown who played the housekeeper was smashed in the head, and even the danjiao who played the role of Grandma Qigu was beaten black and swollen.Although it is said that the prisoners who caused the disturbance were arrested by the soldiers who rushed up immediately, and sent to the confinement room to be locked up in the small black room, there is no way to continue singing this scene.

"It should be fought!" A few veterans grumbled and walked back with the bench between them. Along the way, the prisoners in the queue were talking about the drama they saw.

"It's just that I'm far away from the stage, otherwise I would jump up and beat those two bastards! Damn it! It's worth the hunger in the small black room! Let me speak out first!"

Along the way, more than a thousand people cursed at the street and returned to the prison camp. Unexpectedly, there were unexpected things waiting for them in the camp.

"Chen Chaotian!"

A veteran soldier had just walked to his tent, and his eyes could not help but light up.Standing in front of his tent, holding a few bamboo baskets in his hand, the guy with a smile on his face, isn't he just from the same village as him?

"Yellow paparazzi! Isn't it me?"

Two guys who came out of the same village and grew up naked met each other in the prisoner camp.

Looking at his childhood friend who grew up together, Huang Paparazzi patted Chen Chaodian's fine cotton robe, and found that it was not a cotton jacket, but a fox fur robe, which surprised him immediately.

"Good job! Put on the leather robe?"

"Hey! Goofy! Come, bring some food and drink for the brothers!"

Chen Chaotian casually handed a few bamboo baskets to Paparazzi Huang and the veterans beside him.The same scene was staged in different forms everywhere in the prison camp.The yellow paparazzi couldn't think of it.The arrival of Chen Chaotian and others is also part of the whole plan.

Relying on the strict population management and household registration system, after Huang Paparazzi and others were captured and registered their household registration hometown, some people searched in the Southern Guangdong Army according to the location of their relatives in their hometown. Can!

Gradually search down from a Quanzhou prefecture and Zhangzhou prefecture, to the prefectures, counties, towns and towns, and then find the villages.This job sounds very simple and has no technical content.but.In the era when there was no cloud computing and cloud data central computer, being able to find such a person is tantamount to a moon landing project.

However, the Southern Guangdong Army did it.And it was done within ten days.Not only did they find the people in need.These people were also gathered together for a short training and then sent to Guang'ao Bay by boat!

Simply from this organizational mobilization ability.Coupled with the huge material base and industrial production capacity.Zheng Zhilong had already lost this battle before it started.

However, Chen Chaotian and Huang Paparazzi are the most ordinary sailor soldiers.But it never occurred to him.The yellow paparazzi looked up, down, left, and right at the childhood playmate in front of him.

After a long time, the yellow paparazzi gave a sincere admiration, "You are wearing a muslin robe and your face is flushed. You are doing well! Where are you getting rich now?"

"What a fortune! A coffin! I'm just a boatswain in Mrs. Hu's boat shop, and I'm still a part-time job!"

"Looking at your outfit, you also made a lot of money?"

Several people sat down around a small bamboo square table in the tent. Chen Chaotian opened oil-paper bags and meat porcelain jars from the bamboo basket, and the room was immediately filled with the smell of meat.People couldn't help flapping their noses, greedily breathing in the tempting smell.

"You said you didn't make any money? These wine and meat are not cheap!"

The strong smell of shochu overflowed from the opened ceramic flagon, mixed with the thick meaty aroma, forming an alluring aroma of wine and meat in the tent.

The dozen or so people in the tent couldn't help but instinctively swallowed a few times when they smelled it.During the period of captivity, although the food was good, he never drank a sip of wine. In the words of Huang Paparazzi and others, "Birds faded out of his mouth!"

Chen Chaotian greeted a few words, and everyone did not refuse. They picked up the lid of the lunch box that can be used as a soup bowl and water cup, and started to drink happily.

"This meal of wine and meat, copper money boy, our brothers will remember! If you have something to do in the future, as long as our brothers can get out of this cage, go in the water, in the fire, in the fire! It doesn't matter!"

After a few sips of soju, people began to get excited. The yellow paparazzi patted Chen Chaotian on the shoulder, his eyes turned red, and the people around him also echoed his words.For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was very warm!

"Hey! Why are you being polite! They are all brothers from a village, what is a meal for? There is no need for such a heavy oath!" Chen Chaotian laughed in his heart, but his mouth was still polite.

"A meal of wine?" A veteran's eyes were burned red by alcohol, and he pointed to the wine and meat on the square table with his oily fingers.

"A pot of two catties of shochu costs five renminbi, and a porcelain pot of meat costs at least two renminbi, and these cooked meats! If you buy these things in Xiamen, they will cost at least five renminbi! Besides, you can come and see them. As a group of prisoners, we must keep this friendship in our hearts!"

"Brother, if you want to remember, just remember this love! Anything that is money or not is nothing! Besides, these things are really worthless!"

With a phoenix claw in her mouth, her humming was vague. In order to prove that she was telling the truth, Chen Chaotian took out a very beautifully printed notice from the bamboo basket, which was densely packed with various commodities. name and price.

"Look for yourselves! This is the unified price list published by Longsheng! The prices are similar everywhere!"

The captives huddled together, and after listening to the brother who could read a few words from the guy read the name, specification, and price of almost all kinds of commodities that were needed from the most common sailor to the ship owner, they couldn't help but speak in unison. Cursed: "Puniam!"

Only then did they realize that the things sung in the opera were so consistent with real life!Anything that is sold to them will be paid at least several times by the ship owners before they can give up!well!What can I do?I am a poor sailor who relies on hard work for a living, so I don’t know if I will throw more than 100 catties of meat into the sea someday, and the more expensive the stuff, the more expensive!Anyway, sailors are not so lucky to marry wives and have children!

"Copper Coin Boy! You work for the Nanyue Army, and according to what you said, things are cheap, no wonder you dress so well! I think you will have a good life in the future!"

These words caused Chen Chaotian to complain a lot!

"What are you talking about! When I am the bosun, I earn dozens of silver dollars in a mess of a month, but there are so many places where I can't afford to spend money?! Let me do the math for you!"

According to Chen Chaotian, a large part of his bosun's salary income must be paid personal income tax and pension. This pension is a kindness given by the general to these sailors. Now you save it according to the regulations. Go in with silver dollars, and when you are too old to sail the boat, you can receive a monthly salary that is similar to the previous salary!

"About these two items, you have to support your family, and now you have to save money to build a new house, or the few children and wives in the family will not be enough to live in! After these children grow up one by one, I have to plan for them. I want to marry a daughter-in-law and do a dowry. In the future, if Fujian is also under the management of the lord, I also want to repair the ancestral house in my hometown. Then raise some money to go to Siam or Tianzhu to buy hundreds or thousands of acres to live in wasteland. Open up wasteland, let's taste what it's like to be a landlord!"

"So, brothers, don't look at me dressed decently, but I'm actually in a money crunch!"

The yellow paparazzi listened for a long time, apart from surprise, envy, and jealousy, they couldn't help but have this thought in their hearts at the same time: "This thief came to see us, but why do I always want to beat him?!" (To be completed continued..)
