I'm a pirate at the end of Ming Dynasty

The morning sun was rising, casting golden light, and for a while even the smell of blood on the battlefield seemed to have become much lighter.Zheng Zhipeng held a rare banquet and asked the chef to prepare exquisite dishes to entertain the meritorious soldiers. This was the first time he drank wine and ate meat during this disaster.

He is so happy, Liu Xiang!Liu Xiang, who has been fighting openly and secretly with his eldest brother for more than ten years!Liu Xiang was the one who killed his second brother Zheng Zhihu in history!He was actually defeated by himself. Although it was mostly due to shitty luck, it was still a great joy.

A rough calculation shows that at least 1 Liu Xiang people were killed in the battle last night. This is not Guangdong. Liu Xiang's people died less, and Liu Xiang is not a serious army, not like the Zheng family. With stable financial resources, if he could fight two more battles like this, he might be able to disband Liu Xiang directly.

"Come on, brother, have a drink."

Zheng Zhipeng was a little drunk and was already shaking a little while standing, but he insisted on holding Li Gang's hand and was reluctant to let go.

He now understands that it is easy to get a thousand armies but hard to find a general. Especially in this age, each of these hundreds of brothers is a treasure to Zheng Zhipeng. It is not appropriate to say , if Zheng Zhipeng had to choose, these 400 Liaodong veterans were much more important in his eyes than the [-] to [-] rural militiamen under his command.

It is precisely because of this that when Zheng Zhipeng faced these Liaodong veterans, he would drink them all. He would drink no matter who was toasting them, and he put a lot of effort into forcing himself to remember everyone's name.

Li Gang was quite dissatisfied when he saw this. Although Northeastern people may be enthusiastic and generous, they are not so bold. After all, he is also a new leader. Is it okay to have to work under the table?Then he frowned and said angrily: "Okay! If there are so many of you, one bowl per person, the fourth master will drink to death on this table today. Don't embarrass me and embarrass me, go back."

Zheng Zhipeng quickly held Li Gang's hand and pretended to scold him: "Oh~ Brother Li, don't say that. You are my great contributors today."

After saying that, he stood up unsteadily and said: "Brothers, Brother Li~ You're right, I can't drink a bowl of wine for each person~ Is this okay? I'll drink three bowls of wine, so I can pay you back." Everyone.”

"Come on, thank you for this first glass of wine, hiccup~. I know that if it hadn't been for you yesterday, let alone victory, I would have been captured alive by that bastard Liu Xiang."

He picked it up and drank it all in one gulp, then continued: "For this second bowl of wine, I thank you for staying and helping me. I know that you used to be with General Mao, and you are high-spirited. If you compare me with General Mao, , it is really a world between heaven and earth, it is definitely incomparable, but our Zheng family still has a lot of money. I guarantee here today that you will never worry about money in the future. From today on, all problems that money can solve are no longer problems.”

"With this third bowl of wine, I, Zheng Zhipeng, swear a poisonous oath to God in front of everyone. From today on, I, Zheng Zhipeng, will live and die with you, and share wealth and honor! If I do something that has betrayed my brothers, Son, if I am struck by lightning, I will die!"

After talking and drinking, I felt a little passionate for a moment. I smashed the bowl and my legs couldn't stop spinning in circles.

Upon seeing this, Li Gang and Yan Yingyuan quickly stood up and supported him. Li Gang scolded: "Fourth Master has said this, shouldn't you express something?"

Everyone laughed when they saw this, imitating Zheng Zhipeng's example and drank all the wine, then smashed it into pieces. For a while, the porcelain fragments were all over the floor, and then they all said in unison: "I am willing to die for Fourth Master."

Seeing this, Zheng Zhipeng felt extremely beautiful. He hugged the two of them and said, half drunk and half awake, "Okay, okay~ God is really helping me. Brother Li, Brother Yan, you two are my right-hand men!"

When Li Gang heard this, his expression was calm and calm. On the contrary, Yan Yingyuan seemed to be hesitant to speak, but did not say anything.

"What about me, Fourth Master? As for me, I have made meritorious service."

Zheng Zhipeng stared at it with drunken eyes for a long time, and then he saw that the person speaking was Yang Xu at the end corner of his area. He couldn't help but laughed and said: "Of course, you and your sister are both great, little Yang Xu, you say so You want to be rewarded for your merits. Speaking of which, Fourth Master, I am in a good mood today, and I will agree to whatever you say."

Yang Xu was overjoyed and said: "Hey, Fourth Master, how can this be a reward for your work? You should be rewarded based on your merits. After I return to Hangzhou, I want to do some business on my own and sell some goods from overseas. Can the cigars you smoke be handed over to me for sale in the future, except for your own use?"

Zheng Zhipeng frowned and said: "Cigar? You can't make much money because this thing is not mass-produced. Do you want to do business? Persian carpets, South Sea gems, Western clocks and glass, which one is less profitable than this thing? Which one do you want to do in the future? Jiangnan is yours."

Yang Xu smiled and said: "No, Fourth Master, none of what you just said is what I can do with my current financial resources. I will just make some small cigars."

"Financial resources? What kind of financial resources, you want to buy something from me? What nonsense, can I ask for your money? The two pieces of silver in your hand are not even a small change in my hands, forget it."

"No, Fourth Master, you have helped us two siblings enough. You helped build my sister's restaurant with your money. Now that I'm going out to set up another business, how can I spend any more of your money?" I just ask Fourth Master to give me priority in selling those cigars and not sell them to anyone else, and I can’t thank you enough.”

Zheng Zhipeng took a long puff of cigar, looked at him with narrowed eyes, and then slammed the wine bowl on the table. Yang Xu was so frightened that he couldn't help but sneered, but he still looked at him firmly.

"Okay... you are ambitious, but you don't need to tell me about such trivial matters. Just tell Lao Liu."

Hearing this, Yang Xu felt like he was being pardoned. He quickly picked up the bowl and toasted three bowls to Zheng Zhipeng from afar. Zheng Zhipeng snorted coldly and took a sip to settle the matter.

For a while, Zheng Zhipeng suddenly felt a little frustrated.

Yan Yingyuan didn't answer. He was not a fool. Naturally, he could see clearly and it was not easy to say anything. However, the anger was held in his stomach, but he didn't let anyone see it on the surface.

But Yan Yingyuan, after all, was his idol in his previous life. Although Zheng Zhipeng couldn't figure out why he didn't dare to trust him, he could at least show a little more patience. But why did even a little fritter like Yang Xu want to leave? What about setting up your own business?

It would not be a pity whether Yang Xu's people should stay or leave, but the attitude revealed really made Zheng Zhipeng a little uncomfortable.

Could it be that I can't win people?But it shouldn't be. Li Gang's status is not much higher than the two of them?Don't you still receive your subordinates?

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. Zheng Zhipeng even forgot about the celebration party for a while.

However, he didn't notice that he was not the only person at the table who was a little emotional. At the corner, Luo Chao's face also looked a little gloomy.
