Great Song Pirate

Chapter 107 Disagreement
After hearing Xu Yi's words, Jin Huo said disapprovingly: "What you said is true, but I just can't figure it out. If it weren't for those dog officials from the imperial government to force us, we wouldn't have gone to sea to be pirates. Now We have places like Dulong Island and Huangyu Island, as well as your ballista cheers. Even sailors, we are not afraid of them. This pirate is also free and easy. There is no need to work for those profiteers. Although making money is making money, but I am I don't like to do this. Now that we have a lot of people on the ship, I think it's better to continue to do our old job. As for Jiang Desheng, I think we should call our brothers to destroy them in one fell swoop, so that we can get rid of the birds that we suffered at the beginning. It's fine if Qi takes over his territory, and it's fine if this bodyguard bureau doesn't open!"

Xu Yi didn't think that Jin Huo would really be addicted to being a pirate, and he didn't want to do any legitimate business anymore, so he patiently persuaded Jin Huo: "Jiang Desheng must be dealt with, but now he is Jiang Desheng. Considering that our Dulong Island's power is not small, and our attack on Jiang Desheng has no name, even if we really destroy him, I am afraid that we will lose a lot, and I have told my father-in-law before that Western pirates Unlike us, they mostly go to plunder other countries to strengthen their own country. Although the court is stupid, after all, these merchants and sailors are still from our Song Dynasty, and this time my son-in-law went to Hangzhou, and I heard that The imperial court intends to use troops against the Liao Kingdom. We will not hold back our Song people. Also, once we destroy Jiang Desheng, although it will occupy a larger water area and it will be more convenient to do business, but this will inevitably cause trouble. Attention the government, once the merchants who have offended more shipping companies are encircled and suppressed by the imperial court, I am afraid..."

Jin Huo waved his hand impatiently and interrupted Xu Yi: "Don't always talk about imperial encirclement and suppression. Now that we are strong and strong, are we still afraid of the encirclement and suppression by those broken ships of the navy? I just took the Zhenhai ship out. , I am not afraid to fight with the naval warships of the imperial court. If they dare to encircle and suppress us, I will let them come and go. I have no objection to you doing business with the Li family, but go as a pawn for those businessmen. I don’t agree with bodyguards. Being a pirate requires the appearance of being a pirate, and we were too cautious before. Like other colleagues, they not only robbed ships and killed people, but also went to the coast to burn, kill and rob on land. We don’t It’s all right to go to land to do those immoral things, and if you don’t do the ship robbery business, I don’t think we need to do anything!”

Xu Yi wanted to continue persuading Jin Huhu, but Xue Tu, who was doing it on the side, saw that the words of the Weng and his son-in-law were a little stiff, so he hurried out to smooth things over: "Actually, what the master and the military adviser said are good, and you are all for We are good at Dulong Island, this matter is not in a hurry, let's eat first, and chat while eating! The military division just came back, and I haven't eaten yet! Hehe!"

Jin Huo waved his hands and said with a smile: "Yes, it's time for you to welcome you when you come back. Let's have a meal while we eat!"

Following Jin Huhu's greeting, Uncle Fu quickly asked a few maidservants to bring the food and drinks to the lobby, Yingchun greeted Jin Huhu, Xue Tu and the others to take their seats, and sat down beside Xu Yi himself. The individual sat down to eat and drink.

"Father-in-law, in fact, the reason why I want to set up this bodyguard agency is also for the sake of the island. Since we want to attack Jiang Desheng, we always have to find an excuse. The reason why Jiang Desheng was able to become big is not only his government. The reason is that he has connections, but because he knows how to take advantage of his legal status. While robbing at sea, he also runs a fleet and uses thieves to support merchants. That's why he has not been noticed by the government, so that he has developed to the point where he is today. The son-in-law also thought that since Jiang Desheng can take all black and white, why can't we in Dulong Island? Now Jiang Desheng has aroused the public anger of the sailing merchants in the Hangzhou area, and he can't wait to get rid of it soon. Jiang Desheng controls the southward shipping route. They are blackmailing, and if they don't hand over the money, they will be robbed. Why don't we take this opportunity to put the money of these merchants in our pockets? And as long as we have an escort agency, we can also grasp the movements on land You don’t have to be completely under the control of the Li family, and you can find an excuse to go to war with Jiang Desheng. At that time, we can earn money from those merchants and clean up Jiang Desheng. Isn’t it killing two birds with one stone? Father-in-law, please think twice!” Xu Yi After eating and drinking with everyone for a while, he continued to speak.

"I said, boy Xu, you are good at everything, but you are too cautious in doing things. It's not that I don't agree with you, but that I, Jin Huo, have always looked down on those businessmen who flatter the government. The money they make is not for ordinary people. Hard-earned money? Not long after Fang Shenggong was defeated and killed, this old man Zhao Ji got carried away with pride and reopened the Huashigang. Isn’t it the common people of the Song Dynasty who suffered? We used to be small and dared not move the official boat easily , Now we finally want boats and boats, and people and people. I plan to move the official boat of old Zhao Ji in the future, but I want to make trouble with the government. I see what the government can do to me, not to mention that it is almost New Year's Eve Yes, officials from all over the country are also transporting tributes to the capital. If we don’t take the opportunity to make a fortune now, if we miss this village, there will be no such shop. As for the escort you mentioned, Laoqian and Shuimao are not here now. I think we should wait. One day when they come back, let's discuss it again and then make a decision. Anyway, Jiang Desheng will clean up sooner or later. Why bother to make this kid have a good year. After we gather all the boat brothers, It’s enough to crush him in one fell swoop. Once we occupy his territory and control the waters going south, we can’t take what we want! Why bother to open some escort agency to see the faces of those officials and businessmen? Drink and drink Let’s talk about this later, but I am a father, and I am not too young, and you and Yingchun have been married for a while, when will I hurry up to embrace a grandson, it will be the right thing to do! Haha!" Jin Hu said, While bringing the topic up to Xu Yi and Yingchun, everyone present laughed immediately.

After all, Yingchun is a woman, so she can't control their men's affairs. Her father is in charge here, and Xu Yi is her husband. Unable to bear this, Qiao blushed and spat: "Bah! Dad, you must have drunk too much. How did you mention this in front of so many people? I won't eat, you can eat here yourself !” As he spoke, he got up and ran out with a blushing face.

Xu Yi also smiled awkwardly. It's strange to say that he and Yingchun have been married for several months, and they have done a lot of intercourse, but they still haven't seen any reaction from Yingchun's stomach. Maybe it's not the right time. Anyway, he is not in a hurry to have a child now, so let this matter take its course!But on the other hand, he was so worried that he really couldn't laugh.

Jin Huohu is no longer the Jin Huohu he used to be. When he led No. [-] people with only one pitiful boat, he was always cautious, for fear of being taken away from his Laohuyu Island by accident. With the support of Li Tong, they took over Li Tong's Dulong Island, so they became more courageous. Now after they expelled Pu Yinjian, their strength has more than doubled. Jin Huohu is no longer as cautious as before. Shun Shui has made his ambitions swell a bit. He is different from Xu Yi. Even if Xu Yi became a pirate, he still looks at things from a historical perspective, so he has always been unwilling to admit his pirate status from the bottom of his heart. , and strictly restrained the brothers below from killing and looting indiscriminately, and did not want to rob wantonly in the Song people's sea area, so he moved to the idea of ​​​​robbing in the Fusang sea area. The main reason was that the sense of national belonging drove him to guide these people. Pirates, try not to do or do less things that are detrimental to China, and Jin Huo was born as a suffering person, so it is impossible to stand up and look at issues so high. What he hates are those officials, those rich and unkind landlords and businessmen. Going into the sea to become a pirate is thanks to these people. Now that he has strength, of course the first thing he thought of was to fight against the government. What Xu Yi thought of was to have a good time on the sea, which Xu Yi did not expect at the beginning.

The reason why he is worried is because he has seen Jin Huo's inflated ambitions, and he has been dazzled by successive victories. In Chinese history and even world history, people like Jin Huo are often impulsive , there will be no deliberation, and the peasant uprising has never really succeeded, and it was completely wiped out in the end. It used to be, it is now, and it will be in the future. At the beginning, they robbed some merchant ships in a small way. After all, it did not touch the great interests of the government and the court, and now Jin Huo actually put his idea on the official ship, and even moved the idea of ​​Sui Gong and Hua Shigang. Once he took the boat to attack the official ship, I am afraid It will immediately attract the attention of the government. Once it attracts the attention of the government, I am afraid that Dulong Island will not be far from being destroyed. How can this not make Xu Yi feel worried?Speaking of Dulong Island's current management, he can be regarded as the greatest contributor. He really doesn't want to watch Jin Huo bring so many brothers to the grave!

But Xu Yi can't completely refute Jin Huo's face for the time being. After all, Jin Huo is still in charge here, and he is only a military adviser in name, and he is a junior of Jin Huo's son-in-law, so Xu Yi can only press his thoughts for the time being. The idea of ​​continuing to persuade Jin Huhu, now he is in the mood, no matter how much he persuades, I am afraid it will not have much effect, on the contrary, he may alienate the relationship with Jin Huo, once he attracts the attention of the people on the island , it will inevitably cause civil strife on the island. For Xu Yi, who has just pinched his own forces together, this is the last thing he wants to see. He can only endure it for a while, and find an opportunity to persuade Jin Huo to change his mind .
