I'm a pirate at the end of Ming Dynasty

Zheng Zhipeng crossed his legs, sniffing the bursts of pine scent lit in the incense cage, tasting the fine Mingqian Longjing in the tea cup, and smoking a serious cigar from South America. Xiao Lian behind him gently tapped his shoulder and back. Time, I feel like life is full of countless beauties.

Happy rebirth, Zheng Zhipeng.

After a while, his 'sworn brother' Yan Yunda finally arrived. This guy is essentially a loser of Zheng Zhipeng. He relied on the little business leaked from the Zheng family's fingers to make a living. He was born with a round head and a short neck. He has a big head and big ears, and his small eyes look very vulgar at a glance. Zheng Zhipeng really can't figure out how his ex could become such a sworn friend.

"Brother Peng, oh my, I really want to hurt my brother. I heard that you have been sick for more than two months, but I am so anxious for you. I can't even eat. Look, I have lost a lot of weight. It's over." After saying that, he gestured to Zheng Zhipeng about his big belly.

Zheng Zhipeng smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, brother. By the way, did you bring me Xiaoyao ointment?"

"I brought it, of course I did, good brother, in order to celebrate your recovery from a serious illness, where can we go to have some fun? I heard that a new young chick has arrived at the Guzi Temple in the south of the city. She is so delicate and handsome, even though she has shaved her head. She has lost her hair, but she is a beautiful woman that I feel pity for, and she is from a good family. She is the kind of person you like best. I spread the word in our circle and kept it for my brothers, so we two brothers went to get her. ? It must be a different feeling to do such a romantic thing in front of the Buddha."

"Don't talk about this, where is Xiaoyao ointment?"

"Oh, here it is."

Zheng Zhipeng opened the box, and there was nearly half a catty inside. He couldn't help but smile and said, "I seem to be eating this thing all the time, but you don't eat it. Come on, take a bite?"

Yan Yunda looked stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and said: "Brother, you know, brother, I am strong with low firepower. Even the seven or eight concubines at home cannot satisfy me. If I eat this thing again, I will have a nosebleed. Hehehe , I am gifted, are you envious?"

Hearing this, Zheng Zhipeng laughed loudly and said: "I'm envious, I'm so envious, but I just want to see you have a nosebleed today. Come on, let him feed me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two Japanese ronin came forward and restrained him with three strokes, five divided by two. Youemon took the Xiaoyao ointment, opened his mouth and started to pour it in, which shocked him to the point of losing his soul. He was so frightened that he said, "Brother, brother, let's talk it over carefully. Say it carefully. Is it because I did something wrong, brother? No, brother, please have mercy on me, brother, please have mercy on me!"

Zheng Zhipeng signaled Youemon to stop and said with a smile: "This is what you give me to eat every day. Now I let you eat it, but you are screaming for mercy? Why, this thing is poisonous."

"No, no, no, no, it's not poisonous."

"It's not poisonous, so just eat it."

Iemon opened his mouth again to drink.

"Poisonous! Poisonous, poisonous, poisonous!"

"You are harming me by eating it even though you know it is poisonous."

"No, no, no, brother, this is a tonic, a tonic. Of course it will be fine if you eat less, but if you eat more, you will die. Think about it, even if you eat too much ginseng, you will get into trouble. .”

"You use this thing as a ginseng? Iemon, give him a try!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, Fourth Master! Fourth Master, please spare your life!"

Zheng Zhipeng stretched out his hand to stop and said, "Tell me, where did this thing come from?"

"I...my family has been running a herbal medicine shop for generations, so...so..."

"Why don't you tell me the truth? This thing is only available overseas. Why didn't I know when you, Mr. Yan, had maritime connections?"

"I……"

"Feed him."

"Xu Lang!! It's Xu Lang! Xu Lang from the Xu family."

"Fine, you can die."

As soon as he finished speaking, Youemon stuffed half a kilogram of Xiaoyao Cream into his mouth. Sure enough, after a while, Yan Yunda lay on the ground twitching and died.

Zheng Zhipeng wasn't even interested in looking at him. He just waved his hand to signal the wanderers to throw this disgusting thing out, and then he lowered his head and thought about the whole story.

The Xu family, Xu Jie, is considered the top gentry in the Jiangnan area. His roots are in the Songjiang area. He has always opposed the opening of the sea. For many years, he has been constantly involved with various Japanese pirates on the sea. Before the first year of Chongzhen, he and the Zheng family even had a fight. There was a very good cooperation, because the Zheng family was the leader of the Japanese pirates at that time.

However, after the first year of Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong accepted the imperial court's invitation. The Zheng family had an official status, and they no longer had to be secretive when buying silk. , and the Dutch East India Company have been constantly involved. Over the years, there has been overt or covert competition, and there has been much sordidness.

To put it simply, they made money by smuggling from Japan, and after the Zheng family was recruited, they became the anti-smuggling captain of the imperial court. The position of their buttocks was different, and the relationship was naturally different. On weekdays, the two families were too lazy to even do superficial things. Black, white, light and dark have all gone through, and water and fire have long been incompatible.

Of course, Zheng Zhilong's fight against the Japanese was not to relieve the country's worries. If all the Japanese pirates at sea were wiped out, wouldn't those rich people have to sell silk to him? It's so exciting to do a monopoly business. In a few years, the Southeast King will be This is how it came about.

But he didn't expect that the Xu family would actually use such a vicious move.

After all, Jiangnan is the main production area of ​​silk and tea, and these two items are core products in maritime trade. In the competition between the Zheng family and the East India Company, it can also be regarded as a battleground for military strategists.

After all, the mistress of the Zheng family, the Tianchuan family, is just a female. The most important thing is that she is a Japanese. She is still stumbling when speaking in the Ming Dynasty and cannot manage things at all. Zheng Chenggong is not even ten years old this year, which is even more of a joke. After using all kinds of tricks to destroy himself, the fourth child, the shopkeepers under the Zheng family were naturally in disarray.

Seeing the fierce look in Zheng Zhipeng's eyes, Youemon advised: "Fourth Master, the Xu family is after Duke Wen Zhen, and the four generations of Fei Pao have never been cut off for hundreds of years. Now Xu Bengao of his family is still appreciated by the emperor and has entered the imperial family. Governor Zuo, in the area south of the Yangtze River and even in the entire imperial court, there are many trees with huge trees and deep roots. Our family has been fighting against them for many years and is also wary of them. You..."

Hearing this, Zheng Zhipeng couldn't help but interrupt him and said to him: "I know they are powerful, but haven't you seen how much I have suffered in the past two months? If I don't avenge this revenge, am I still a man?" I have made up my mind, that man named Xu Lang, he or I will do it! Tomorrow we will gather men and kill Songjiang, and I will use his skull as a wine flask."

"This... how about writing a letter to Mr. Long and discussing it."

Zheng Zhipeng couldn't help but feel discouraged after hearing this.

Without even thinking about it, Zheng Zhilong would definitely not agree, at least not to such a big fight. At most, he would use this matter to blackmail the Xu family.

Who knows how many years Zheng Zhilong worked hard to recruit people and clear his name, and how much he suffered. He even did not hesitate to break up with his eighteen sworn brothers and turn against him. Now, except for the Dutch, all the big thieves on the sea are actually his sworn brothers. Now he wants to fight to death whenever they meet. After all, the Xu family belongs to the Donglin Party, and their relationships are intricate. For him, it is impossible for him to risk offending the entire Donglin Party to help Zheng Zhipeng, otherwise he will be detained. How to deal with a rebel hat?

After all, the Ming Dynasty was so stubborn that they never relented even after the emperor was captured. Zheng Zhilong's successful recruitment was simply a miracle in the Ming Dynasty, the only one among Japanese pirates in hundreds of years.

After all, the Zheng family is still Zheng Zhilong's Zheng family. The fourth master is able to make noises in Hangzhou City only because of Zheng Zhilong's prestige. If Zheng Zhilong is not allowed to do anything, I guarantee that not even a dog will follow him.

But if this revenge is not avenged, he will really feel uncomfortable.

Zheng Zhipeng couldn't help but think deeply.
