I'm a pirate at the end of Ming Dynasty

Zheng Zhiyan remembered that his fourth brother had told him that there were no factions in the army, and there were all kinds of strange things. Only a lack of heart would hope that his men would unite and become a rope. The best thing about being a leader is not to ease conflicts, but to make the most of them.

At present, the contradiction between the volunteerism of the villagers and the Anti-Japanese Alliance has become very obvious, but in terms of specific manifestations, it is only Luo Chao and Yan Yingyuan. In fact, it stands to reason that the Anti-Japanese Alliance should not stand up to confront Yan Yingyuan. It should have been a black bear, but this kid was rough and subtle, and he cleverly hid behind Luo Chao and pushed him out. Luo Chao didn't know whether he couldn't tell, but he was so happy that he stepped in without hesitation. This circle.

It's not that Zheng Zhiyan can't see the way, it's just that it's easier said than done. He doesn't quite understand what he should do.

And from a personal perspective, Zheng Zhiyan is different from Zheng Zhipeng. He is not a time traveler. He was born in a pirate family and grew up in a pirate family. He actually lacks compassion for the common people at the bottom. In his opinion, Zheng Zhipeng is kind and charitable. In the final analysis, Yi Bo Yuntian only wanted a good reputation and had no real thoughts of benevolence in his heart, so naturally he did not find Luo Chao annoying.

These days, there are only a few good men and women who are willing to stick their heads in their belts and go to sea with Zheng Zhilong. Among them, not even half but [-]% are more evil than Luo Chao, so Zheng Zhiyan has always thought that Luo Chao is quite good. Yes, Zheng Zhipeng has always looked down on him. He is actually a bit biased.

Moreover, Zheng Zhiyan really felt that Zheng Zhipeng's regard for Yan Yingyuan was a bit too much. Since Luo Chao insisted on jumping into the pit and would not hesitate to be a spearman for Black Bear and the others, let's help him up and fight, just to check and balance Yan Yingyuan a little, saying Maybe there will be good results.

After thinking about it, there should be nothing wrong with his arrangement, so he went to sleep. Before going to bed, he touched his hungry belly with his hand and thought of the half pack of dog meat that he had thrown away.

"Pity."

………………

Let’s go back to Liaodong.

On Deer Island, there is still wine and meat, singing and dancing, and since Zheng Zhipeng arrived, Deer Island has obviously become much more lively than usual.

When Geng Zhongming met Zheng Zhipeng, he simply met him as a subordinate. Zheng Zhipeng naturally acted like a polite corporal and had nothing to say.

Among his 10 people, about 2 are burdensome. There is nothing to say. They can just throw them on the treasure island to farm. The remaining ones are less than 1, of which [-] are from Mao Wenlong's period. With such a good foundation, he can survive to this day and can be said to be an elite soldier in hundreds of battles. What is especially rare is that even the remaining more than [-] people are still the original Dengzhou Navy. Although the sea ships are relatively It's not a big deal, but the advantage is that there are more cannons, and the soldiers also have pretty good firearms training. If they are pulled out to do it, they are not even much weaker than the original Zheng family army.

Zheng Zhipeng was so happy that he did not know whether it was intentional or unintentional because of his drunkenness. He ran to a high place and shouted loudly: "Brothers, I, Zheng Zhipeng, solemnly promise here that those who are willing to disarm and return to the fields will be given [-] acres of fertile land for each household. Those who can handle a knife, each of them will receive five taels of silver per month, pay it now! Li Gang! Give money to the brothers!"

Li Gang also knew that this was a routine, and when he heard this, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Yes~!"

"I, Zheng Zhipeng, will make a rule again. When I arrive in the South China Sea, I will shoot red hair. The reward will be on a boat-by-boat basis. The winner will be rewarded by the whole ship. If you sink a small ship like a sand ship or a flat-bottomed boat, the reward will be 1000 taels of silver!" Whoever sinks a medium-sized ship will be rewarded with 1 taels of silver! Whoever sinks a large ship, such a large Galen ship, will be rewarded with 10 taels of silver! Keep your word!"

Geng Zhongming's subordinates screamed when they heard this. Even Geng Zhongming himself was a little jealous. 10 taels for a ship. Don't be too arrogant to take action like this!Although he knew that the Dutch only had thirteen large ships in Treasure Island, buying a victory for 130 million taels was actually quite profitable.

Glancing at the so-called Galen ship worth 10 taels in legend, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly. There must be brave men under the so-called heavy rewards. This money is not easy to earn. I can't count it at first glance, but every ship has to pay for it. There are fifty or sixty cannons. He is an expert in water warfare. He knows that if he wants to destroy such a large ship, if he does not have enough firepower, he can only use ropes or hook nets to hook him and set fire to it. He does not know how many brothers will die for the money. .

However, he did not have any negative emotions. On the contrary, he was very happy for his brothers. Those who licked the blood with the blade of the knife were selling their lives. Although this battle may be extremely dangerous, at any rate, the lives of the brothers were sold at the risk. The high price means that life is much cheaper than working for the imperial court before.

After thinking about it, Geng Zhongming glanced at Shang Kexi with a smile, then raised his glass and gestured as if he was toasting with him from a distance. He knew that Zheng Zhipeng didn't drink too much at all. This was purely disgusting to Shang Kexi.

At this time, Shang Kexi's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.Zheng Zhipeng pretended that nothing was wrong, came over and put his arm around his shoulders and said: "Brother Shang, tomorrow we will go to Jinzhou to play. Brother, I have everything to rely on you. Come on, let me toast you."

Shang Ke said happily with a bit of helplessness: "General Zheng has even recruited Brother Geng, so why bother to attack Jinzhou?"

Zheng Zhipeng said with a double entendre, "We've already come, how can we just leave like this? What if there is another unexpected gain?"

Shang Kexi said calmly: "Okay. Then I wish General Zheng Si a lot of surprises."

"Thank you."

"Humph!"

Zheng Zhipeng didn't care, and continued to drink and have fun. He even taught the men on the island to sing with great enthusiasm. He sang the song "Men Should Be Strong" with a Northeastern accent. It seemed to be much better than the Southern Fujian accent.

Li Gang also became a celebrity by accident. He was already familiar with the Dongjiang defenders, and now he acted as a bridge between Zheng Zhipeng and them. Naturally, he was also the target of most people's toasts. He had always been rough and arrogant, but after a while, I got drunk in no time.

I saw him drunkenly come to Shang Kexi's side, stretched out his big hand and slapped Shang Kexi on the shoulder, and deliberately said in a loud voice: "Brother Shang, I heard that you want to surrender to Qing? There are more than 120 people in your family. No more revenge?"

As soon as these words came out, the banquet that was noisy just now suddenly became quiet.

The back and forth between Shang Kexi and the Qing army was unavoidable. Even among the middle-level officers in Ludao, many people more or less guessed Shang Kexi's little plan. Hearing this, they put down their wine glasses and kept silent. Silence.

Shang Kexi's face turned so ugly that he could only say: "You are drunk."

"I'm not... not drunk, really, I'm really not drunk. I said Brother Shang, you are unjust. I have heard about the Manchu Tatars. The Tatars promised you to be a king with a different surname. Good guy. , this Huang Taiji is such a big deal, to be honest, brother, I really envy you, Wang with a different surname, you said that brothers have devoted their lives to the court, but they don’t get such treatment, no wonder you can’t even give your family of more than 100 people There is no revenge, but Brother Shang, if you become Wang Xiangjin with a different surname, what are you going to do, brothers? Can you also give me a title or something?"

Shang Kexi was furious, his eyes were bloodshot, and he reached out to draw the knife: "Where did you hear these rumors? I'm warning you, stop talking nonsense!"

"Hey, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. What I'm talking about is nonsense. It's pure nonsense. Don't worry, brothers. Brother Shang definitely has no intention of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty and using you in exchange for glory and wealth. Haha. , Brother Shang, I will fine you three bowls of wine to make amends to you."

"Humph!"

Sure enough, when I went to bed at night, there were people like the team leader who asked for help from Li Gang and asked to see Zheng Zhipeng. Naturally, Zheng Zhipeng did not refuse anyone who came. He poured tea himself, chatted with each one, and met each one, so that he was stunned. I didn't sleep all night, and there were already more than a dozen people lining up in the living room outside. They looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
