I'm a pirate at the end of Ming Dynasty

The so-called Dongjiang Town is actually not just a Phi Island. It is only because Mao Wenlong is resident on Phi Island that Phi Island is relatively famous. In fact, it is a small island group, leaning against each other.

After Mao Wenlong's death, Yuan Chonghuan retained his close confidant Liu Xingzuo to replace him. However, Liu Xingzuo had deep conflicts with Mao Wenlong's old department headed by Chen Jisheng. His younger brother Liu Xingzhi was killed, and Liu Xingzhi was killed by Mao Wenlong's in-law Shen Shikui. The court sent another man named Huang Long, but he fought with Shen Shikui again and was driven out of Lushun. He died in Lushun soon after.

In short, when these people fight, it's a big show, where you kill me and I kill you. If the upper-level leaders fight like this, how can these middle-level leaders live their lives?For example, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming chose to rebel and occupied Dengzhou. This is what happened just this year. Li Gang also ran away from Dengzhou. This was the famous Wuqiao Incident. Shang Kexi, together with Shen Shikui and Huang Long, If they don't agree, they might as well start a new business in Kashima, and their relationship will be on the same level.

In short, this is the background of the three towns of Dongjiang now. There are many gates and it is very chaotic.

Zheng Zhipeng even put aside Zheng Zhilong who was fighting hard this time. The peddler collected the money and headed north. Of course, he couldn't just focus on Shang Kexi and work hard. Besides, it was impossible for him to do what Mao Wenlong could do back then with his own strength. The thing is, this is the banquet for the general soldiers of the three towns, which is only for his face, or rather for his money and face.

At about noon, Shen Shikui came. He was about forty years old, with a big belly, leading thousands of guards, and greeted Shang Kexi with a smile. There was no sign that the two of them were dirty at all. Then he immediately came over and stretched out his palm-sized palms to hold Zheng Zhipeng in his arms, which made Zheng Zhipeng startled.

"General Zheng Si, hahahaha, please ask Master Long for me."

"General Shen knows my elder brother?"

"We have had a chance encounter, and there is no one who doesn't know Mr. Long among those who make a living at sea. It was Mr. Long who looked down on the North Korean business, so he gave the brothers a way to survive. When Mao Shuai was alive, He often tells me that the hero he admires the most is Mr. Long. He doesn’t want to have an older brother than a younger brother. You, General Zheng Si, won’t let you be your brother at all. Come on, come on, let’s have a few drinks. .”

After saying that, he didn't give Zheng Zhipeng a chance to be polite. He directly pressed him on the main seat, put an arm around his shoulders, picked up the brandy on the table and poured him a large bowl of it. I poured myself a bowl, completely forgetting that this was Shang Kexi's territory.

"Come on, brother Zheng, we will hit it off as soon as we meet, let's do it!"

"General Shen, this wine can't be so..."

With a pop, Shen Shikui vomited out half of the wine he drank, and then his nose, snot, and tears all came down in handfuls. He coughed for a long time before he could catch his breath.

"Damn it, what the hell is this?"

"General Shen, this is brandy. It is a Dutch name. It translates to burning wine. It is very strong. If you drink this, you should drink it in small sips."

Shen Shikui laughed loudly and said: "It's embarrassing, it's embarrassing. Brother Zheng is a rustic. Brother Zheng, don't laugh at me. Come on, let's keep our mouths shut and walk."

Zheng Zhipeng first clenched his fists as if on conditioned reflex, but then felt that this seemed unharmonious, so he imitated Shen Shikui's rough and arrogant manner, slowly picked up a bowl of brandy and said, "Brother Shen, let's go."

Then he took a small sip and put it down again.

But I saw Shen Shikui baring his teeth and arrogantly following Zheng Zhipeng. He was talking about how he and Mao Wenlong were so prosperous and powerful, and how embarrassed Nurhaci was after struggling. In fact, the meaning is very obvious. It’s just two words: alms.

Of course Shang Kexi was not happy with this kind of prestige, but he couldn't get angry in front of Zheng Zhipeng, the sponsor, so he had to sit next to Zheng Zhipeng with a gloomy look on his face.

Zheng Zhipeng also knew that the conflict between the two people was a life-and-death conflict that could not be solved by an outsider with two stinky money, so he pretended not to know, picked up his glass and toasted Shang Kexi, and at the same time talked to the two of them. People were talking and laughing.

After a while, Huang Long also came. Neither Shen Shikui nor Shang Kexi wanted to see him, so they simply treated him coldly and ignored him. When he saw the three of them sitting calmly on the main seat, he was furious for a moment. He came to the office and snorted coldly: "Why, the two generals are asking for food from the Zheng family. Has General Zheng rewarded enough bones?"

Shen Shikui sneered: "You don't want food, so what the hell is Marshal Huang doing here?"

"It's a joke. I am the Zhenjiang Commander-in-Chief appointed by the imperial court. General Zheng is here as an honored guest. How can I, the master, not come?"

Shang Kexi said in a strange tone: "Hey, I never thought that Mr. Huang is the master of my Deer Island. That's really disrespectful. Brothers, why don't you pay homage to Mr. Huang as soon as possible?"

How can everyone give him face?Everyone burst into laughter, which made Huang Long extremely unable to get off the stage. However, his face did not turn red, and his heart did not beat. Instead, he held his head high, as if these people were really paying homage to him.

"You three, it's up to me. To show my face today, can you sit down and have a glass of wine and have a good chat? How about we discuss your internal issues in Dongjiang in the future?"

"Humph!"

Huang Long snorted angrily. Seeing that Shang Kexi and Shen Shikui had no intention of giving up their seats to him, he directly opened the table, crossed his legs and sat down opposite Zheng Zhipeng. Then he also picked up the brandy on the table and poured a glass of it. The bowl said: "General Zheng, I will give you a bowl."

"Hey, the wine...forget it."

Like Shen Shikui, he also choked on his drinks.

"Three of you, don't be angry. Since we are all here, I won't beat around the bush. I will pay for the three of you to disrupt Huang Taiji's retreat. I have plenty of money, but with all due respect, today is different from the past. If the three of them fight independently, it will be very difficult for this matter to succeed. I hope that the three of them can unite sincerely. I don’t know much about military affairs. Can any of the three of you tell me what to do about this matter?"

Huang Long said: "What else can be done? The rebellion of Kong and Geng has not yet been decided, and they want to join up with Jierhalang and Azige. If this happens, the Golden Dog will inevitably become more rampant. Otherwise, if this fails, Huang Taiji will How can we attack the city with peace of mind? If General Zheng wants to break the siege of Jinzhou, he only needs to let these two treacherous people send troops to cover the city and follow me to defeat the thieves quickly."

Shang Ke was pleased to hear the words and snorted coldly: "I don't know who forced Brother Kong to rebel. Now he actually wants to use Brother Zheng's money to wipe the ass of you, the so-called commander-in-chief, and let us brothers kill each other. You should fight What a good calculation."

Huang Long slapped the table and said angrily: "What do you mean by my abacus? Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming are rebelling. Shouldn't they be suppressed? Master Zheng wants to break the siege of Jinzhou. Isn't this an excellent breakthrough point? Take ten thousand steps back. He said that since the Zheng family accepted the recruitment, they are members of the imperial court. How can such a matter of public and private convenience be said to be my calculation? "

Shen Shikui also sneered: "You have no plan, only you know best."

"you……"

"Okay, you three, stop arguing. I said, give me some face." Zheng Zhipeng put down his wine glass heavily and said with dissatisfaction.

Then, Zheng Zhipeng took out a cigar, lit it, and asked calmly: "General Huang, I heard that Geng Zhongming once asked you to build the South Pass and restore Jinzhou to redeem itself. I don't know if this is true." ? In these critical times, why not give him a chance to atone for his sins?"

"General Zheng is joking. Geng Zhongming followed Kong Youde and committed such a heinous crime. How can he be pardoned? Even if he is pardoned, his thief nature is hard to change." He glanced at Shang and Shen and continued: "When the time comes It’s not enough for me to listen to the tune but not the announcement, so I’d better just kill them all.”

Zheng Zhipeng nodded and said: "That's it. It seems that Mr. Huang has very negative opinions on Geng Zhongming. So, I'm sorry."

After saying that, Zheng Zhipeng suddenly took out a short musket from his waist, and while everyone was stunned, he fired a shot, smashing Huang Long's head to pieces.

"Brother Shen and Brother Shang, please ask your brothers to take care of the people brought by Mr. Huang, and don't let any of them escape."
