I'm a pirate at the end of Ming Dynasty

In the blink of an eye, another seven or eight days passed.

Zheng Zhipeng's army swelled like a balloon, and soon there were 4 to [-] people. Although they were all farmers and could not compare with real soldiers, they were still very spectacular when crowded together.

Zheng Zhipeng couldn't help but lamented that this was the case in the south of the Yangtze River, let alone the northwest. No wonder those mud-legged soldiers in the late Ming Dynasty had hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn. It was too easy to recruit a younger brother in such a calamity year.

It is precisely because of this that Zheng Zhipeng's reputation has become completely polarized in the past half month.

In the Jianghu market, Zheng Zhipeng's reputation is now almost the same as that of Shiyu. People in the Jiangnan area are proud to see Zheng Zhipeng, and even a nondescript limerick was circulated: There is no such thing as rudeness, Jiangnan Zheng There is a fourth son in the family, his shoulders are like iron carrying moral principles, and his loyalty is as high as the sky.

Who knows who made it up, and it made Zheng Zhipeng dumbfounded. This is all rubbish, as if it was written by a third-rate author from Qidian.

However, among the scholars, it was impossible to listen to the comments. After all, he was originally a Japanese pirate, so he naturally rebelled against such a self-proclaimed class. More importantly, what Zheng Zhipeng did in Ningbo during the past half month was really It's a bit too taboo.

In other words, Luo Chao did a really good job and his efficiency was too high. After receiving the task, he did not go directly to collect food. Instead, he used his own banner to kill all the gangs in Ningbo Prefecture in just half a day. Unified, and boldly promised a large amount of money in Zheng Zhipeng's name, and then used various despicable means to shock people like Zheng Zhipeng who had seen the world from later generations.

For example, no one knew how he did it. Nearly a ton of excrement appeared at the entrance and even inside the door of Prince Tang's Mansion overnight. Seeing that Prince Tang would not compromise, he even lit a fire to burn the excrement.The smell of burning manure is guaranteed to be unforgettable for anyone who smells it. It is said that many people were burned to death because of it.

Even if he treats the vassal king like this, let alone the methods he uses to deal with others, such as kidnapping and extortion are definitely not uncommon. It’s just that due to Zheng Zhipeng’s reputation, no one dares to force women to have sex with women, and he has clearly promised not to kill anyone. , but as far as Zheng Zhipeng knows, this guy has to have dozens or even hundreds of lives in his hands every day. Of course, the results are also good. At least Zheng Zhipeng has been providing disaster relief for half a month, but he has more and more food in his hands. For the sake of the overall disaster relief, Zheng Zhipeng has You can only turn a blind eye to him and pretend not to know.

Therefore, it can be said that the Donglin Party and even the entire scholar group hate Zheng Zhipeng to the core. Now when Zheng Zhipeng is mentioned, he is just like a Japanese pirate. This is also true when his reputation spreads to other places. The entire Donglin Party insists that he will rebel sooner or later, although he does not know that he will rebel. No matter what Zhang Bingzhen thinks on the official side, in all likelihood, she will also have a headache.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhipeng was also a little worried. After all, the world is still under the Ming Dynasty. It is far from the time when the local tyrants were divided into fields. No matter how good the reputation in the market is, it is not as useful as an imperial edict from the imperial court. No matter how many troops he has, , it would only take a minute for the court to deal with him. If he were really labeled as a rebel, there would be no other option but to go to sea and flee, not to mention that he would also face Liu Xiang's revenge.

Although on the surface he always looks like Yun Danfeng Qingzhi, but in his heart he is already burning with anxiety. Everyone around him can see that the fourth master has been smoking much more frequently recently than before, almost He was puffing away all the time, his lips were always chapped, and he had a big pimple on his face. Even his mouth smelled a lot, all because he was holding back the fire.

Suddenly, he felt heavy. When he turned around, he saw Xiaodie wearing a silk shirt on her body. "Fourth Master, it's late at night. You'd better rest quickly."

"Oh, Xiaodie, it's okay. I'll think about something more and I'll go to bed soon. If you're sleepy, go and rest first. You don't have to wait for me."

"Fourth Master has worked hard for the people of Jiangnan. You must be thinking about countless important things. Being able to serve Fourth Master, Xiaodie feels that she has become something great."

After saying that, Zheng Zhipeng felt a coldness and softness on his temples. He put a pair of soft little hands on them and kneaded them gently: "My maid has just learned some massage techniques. How do you feel, Fourth Master?"

"That's right, I've made up my mind."

As he said this, Zheng Zhipeng's hands became rude and dishonest, making Xiaodie giggle.

Just at this time, Xiaolian came in with tea. She couldn't help but laugh when she saw this. She was also well-behaved and took the pipa over without saying a word. She knelt down in front of Zheng Zhipeng's knees and showed her head cutely. , with a smile on his face, he plucked the strings lightly, and began to play and sing softly.

This Xiao Lian is obviously an authentic Zhejiang native, but when she plays and sings, she has an authentic Suzhou accent, and she has a good mouthful of Wu Nong's soft words, which are crispy, numb, soft and waxy. After listening to them for only a short while, she actually listened. Zheng Zhipeng felt itchy in his heart and stood there without feeling.

Thinking about it again, since I met Xu Bengao that day, I have been dragged around and toiled by one or other bad things. In the past two months, I have not eaten meat even once, which is a pity for the two beautiful maids. .

Xiaodie stood behind and kneaded it, and could feel that Zheng Zhipeng's skin seemed to be a little hot, and immediately said with understanding: "Fourth Master, I am also very good at playing the jade flute. It would be nice to play the harp with Sister Lian. ?”

Zheng Zhipeng immediately said sternly: "Which Xiao? Please pay attention to me, I will crack down hard recently."

"It's the flute that Fourth Master thought about."

.........I am a harmonious society, the dividing line between you and my whole family...

Hearing the sound of gongs and drums outside, Zheng Zhiyan broke in through the door without even knocking. The two maids were so frightened that they quickly got into bed like balls and shouted: "Here he is! The fourth brother is here!"

"What's going on? You look so frizzy, don't you even know how to knock on the door?" I thought to myself, fortunately I always do things quickly, otherwise I might have been hit.

Zheng Zhiyan is not an innocent young man, so she naturally knows what Zheng Zhipeng is doing. However, the ancient thinking has never taken this kind of maidservant seriously. In addition, the situation is urgent, so she doesn't care about it at all, and she doesn't care about whether it is appropriate or not. , rushed over and dragged Zheng Zhipeng out of bed, saying: "My dear brother, how long has it been since you still have the time to do that? Liu Xiang is here!"

Zheng Zhipeng's heart sank suddenly when he heard this, but he still forced himself to calmly throw away Zheng Zhiyan's hand, put on his clothes unhurriedly, and said steadily: "Why are you panic? Liu Xiang would have been with us a long time ago if he came." According to our calculations, it would be strange if he didn't come. When the soldiers come, the water will be blocked and the earth will cover it up."

After that, Zheng Zhipeng was able to button up his clothes, but his fingers were trembling slightly. He couldn't button the top button for a long time, so he simply pulled it off, threw the button away, and led Zheng Zhiyan away calmly.
