Ancient promotion routine

Zhang Yanjin slept until the next day when the red sun was rising and the fiery light was shining all over the sea before climbing out of the cabin.

He stretched out on the deck facing the rising sun, and then he looked towards the four ships coming from the pirates.

The flanks of the ship facing the Zhongzhou giant ship were full of large holes made by fire rods.

"Erlang, you are like a god in everyone's eyes!" Zhang Wuer saw Zhang Yanjin wake up, followed Zhang Yanjin into the cabin, closed the door and said excitedly: "It is said that you predict things like a god, which is admirable !"

At the beginning, some crew members felt that Zhang Yanjin was too young and immature and did not believe Zhang Yanjin.But last night, Zhang Yanjin's calmness and orderliness made Zhang Yanjin rise up like a shining star, occupying the highest position in the hearts of all the crew members, and everyone was convinced, and they also had greater confidence in going to Champa.

After Zhang Wuer got excited, his face collapsed, and he said worriedly: "Erlang, the iron hook on the ship has been untied, what do you think we should do with these pirates, we can't take them to Zhancheng, right? It's too cumbersome."

He sighed and said, "But if we let them go back, doesn't it mean that we have dug a hole for ourselves? But if we execute them on the spot, there are too many of them..."

"No, let them take a look for a few days." Zhang Yanjin thought of what the foreigner said last night, and always felt something was wrong. Why did he feel that these pirates were targeting him specifically?He didn't remember that he had offended these people.

Saying this, he seemed to think of something and said, "Did those pirates say who their leader is?"'

"They all agreed that it was those foreigners." Zhang Wuer conveyed the truth: "They said that they all followed foreigners to the sea to become pirates, just to make a living. I hope we can let them go."

Zhang Yanjin propped his chin with one hand, and said with a smile, "Hungry them for a few days!" After this point, these pirates are still playing tricks on him, so he will let them see who is the boss!

After two days of starvation, some crew members finally couldn't hold back and admitted who their boss was.

Zhang Yanjin had the pirate leader Liu Junyi taken from his pirate clothes and taken to his room for interrogation alone.

Zhang Yanjin originally wanted to kill everyone, but after hearing that the pirate leader was called Liu Junyi, he changed his mind, because Liu Junyi was like a bearded man in history.

"Who told you to kill me?" Zhang Yanjin cut to the chase.After investigation, he found that although the pirates under Liu Junyi were arrogant, they had always only sought wealth and never killed, as the history said, and followed their credo—safety and food and clothing.

More importantly, he and Liu Junyi had no conflicts at all, there was no need for them to kill themselves as soon as they came up, thereby angering the emperor and his uncle, and then sending troops to chase them down.

Liu Junyi looked at Zhang Yanjin silently, without saying a word.It's like telling Zhang Yanjin that I fell into your hands today, that my skills are not as good as yours, and I will kill or cut as you please!

Due to not eating or drinking for two days, Liu Junyi's lips under the beard were dry and cracked, bleeding beads, his cheeks became withered and yellow, and his eyes were always red and swollen due to the year-round sea breeze, as if he had pink eye disease.

He was wearing an ordinary short and thick cloth shirt, which was no different from the other crew members on his ship. His beard was unkempt for a long time, and it was messy like black weeds, and his hair was randomly tied behind his head. He looked more like a simple farmer, but he didn't expect to be a pirate leader who ruled the roost at sea.

"Since you don't want to talk about it, let's starve you for a few more days until you are willing to talk about it." Zhang Yanjin didn't have the thought of being a hero, he was not a hero, and he didn't have the extra thought to take care of these people. Especially since this man wanted to kill him.

Just when Liu Junyi looked up at Zhang Yanjin in surprise and was quite moved, he heard Zhang Yanjin say lightly: "Anyway, the sea road is still long, so let's go hungry for a few more days until he is willing to talk."

The pirate leader only felt his eyes go dark. He originally thought that Zhang Yanjin was praising his integrity, but he didn't want Zhang Yanjin to say such a thing.Immediately, he remembered what someone had said to him, that Zhang Yanjin was a scoundrel who didn't play cards according to the rules!

He anxiously licked his sweet and rough lips, and when Zhang Yanjin was about to walk out the door, he said, "I'll say it!"

"Someone in Chang'an City wants to buy your life!" Liu Junyi's voice was already hoarse without water for a long time.

Zhang Yanjin glanced at Zhang Wuer, and Zhang Wuer stepped forward to pick up the cup on the table and poured a few sips of water for Liu Junyi.

Once a hole is torn open, there is no need to hide the following words. Liu Junyi can lead such a group of people across the sea, and he is also straightforward.

He licked the water stains on his mouth and said, "Young master of the Wang family in Chang'an."

Immediately, Wang Jianting's somewhat feminine face appeared in Zhang Yanjin's mind. He actually wanted to kill him silently at sea?This really fits his sinister face!

Historically, maritime commerce and trade were underdeveloped during the Great Wei Dynasty, so there was no anti-Japanese and anti-pirate actions in the Ming Dynasty. However, the shadows of these pirates can still be glimpsed in the unofficial history of the coastal areas.

Among them, Liu Junyi is the most famous generation of pirates. Because he does not kill people, he only seeks wealth. From time to time, he sells things from the Great Wei Dynasty along the coastal road to various places to gain profits. He also gets along well with the forces all over the coast, and he can manage, so he has a pretty good reputation in this generation.

According to modern terms, this Liu Junyi is a master of both black and white.

Zhang Yanjin thought that Liu Junyi could build four Zhongzhou giant ships in a short period of time, and became even more afraid of the forces behind him.

If he hadn't been on guard for a long time, and quietly equipped the fire rod, he might have died by now.Thinking of this, the back of his neck felt a little chilly.

But if he hastily killed Liu Junyi, he might affect his whole body. In the eyes of these pirates, these merchant ships of his are all fat. If the surrounding forces use the banner of revenge for Liu Junyi to besiege He, he is afraid that he will become the target of public criticism. With a fire rod in his hand, he may be hard to beat with one punch.

He knew very well that the banner of the imperial court was nothing but a joke in this vast ocean, and the navy of the Great Wei Dynasty could be said to be very weak, let alone compared with the pirates on the sea who licked their blood and made their living from the sea.

Liu Junyi was really hungry too, he picked up the kettle on the desk and drank a few mouthfuls, then grabbed the fat chicken on the table, gnawed it, and after a while, there was a lot of water on his long beard. Covered with oil.

"With your financial resources, you can only sell some of your local products to other places." Zhang Yanjin boldly speculated from Liu Junyi's words that they would not start work for two years. Only these three shipments could keep them from working for three years. It is enough to speculate how poor the goods they usually transport are.

Liu Junyi just ate chicken, as if he didn't hear what Zhang Yanjin was saying at all, Zhang Yanjin was not in a hurry, but continued on his own: "Although the court's navy doesn't have the experience of running rampant at sea for so many years, if you really If it becomes the opposite of the imperial court, I am afraid it will only be notorious."

"Liu Junyi, seven feet in length, burly, with a black face and a white body, resolute and brave, vigorous and galloping, generous and bold, never doing dirty things such as cockroaching and dog robbery, what is your relationship with the Wang family, even at the expense of self-destructive reputation? Kill me?" Zhang Yanjin's eyes were like lightning, staring at Liu Junyi and pressing step by step.

People in this era are most concerned about reputation, especially Liu Junyi, who has always been called generous and generous by everyone, no matter how you say it, he is a bit of an idol.

"Merchant, he asked someone to find me, traded with me the design blueprint of the Zhongzhou giant ship, and asked me to kill you." Sure enough, Liu Junyi no longer concealed himself, he stared at Zhang Yanjin with some fierce triangular eyes and said: "And Your three ships are full of goods, if I snatch them, we don’t need to start work for two years.”

After he said this, Zhang Yanjin finally understood how the design drawings of the Zhongzhou giant ship were spread.

Compared with other ships, the Zhongzhou giant ship is simply a monster on the sea, which makes people look away. No matter who sees the design drawings of the Zhongzhou giant ship, these sea kings may not be able to restrain their desires.

However, Zhang Yanjin hated Wang Jianting even more. He exchanged his achievements and asked others to kill him. This kid is really vicious. If he doesn't treat him well this time, he won't be Zhang Yanjin!

After Zhang Yanjin had some plans in mind, he asked Zhang Wuer to untie the rope from Liu Junyi's body, and let Liu Junyi sit on the cushion.

"Instead of being treated as a rebellious pirate by the court, why not become a generation of wealthy merchants and leave his name in history?" Zhang Yanjin lured him with his name.

Good morals and virtues last forever, bright festivals and high winds last forever.In this era where Confucianism is the mainstream, who doesn't want to do a prestigious career, who doesn't want to be famous in history?

The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the world is full of hustle and bustle, all for profit.He lures him for profit, and Liu Junyi is not a saint, so how could he not obey?

"I have long heard that Sir Zhang is a straightforward person, and I have long admired Sir Zhang's righteousness. When I saw it today, it really is better to see once than to hear a hundred times. I feel ashamed." Liu Junyi put down the chicken in his hand and picked up the cotton on the table. After a hasty wipe, he stood up and cupped his hands.
