Beiyang new warlord

In fact, it’s not just Zheng Zhilong, it’s also the same in the feudal era. A group of leading brothers led a large group of younger brothers to fight against the world. It is the power and military power in the hands of these younger brothers.

After Zheng Zhilong finished his oath, all the leaders of the next-level powers also pulled out their knives, cut their own fingers and dropped them on the ground, then knelt on the ground and murmured, as the leader of the alliance saw this step, Mao Jue was really relieved.

What kind of punishment from the gods! It is the human heart that really influences the world! Even if Zheng Zhilong still has such an official status, he still acts according to the rules of the world.

Today, Mao Jue didn't care about their previous offenses, and generously let them go first, and then let them get the ransom.But if Zheng Zhilong turns his face back to Fujian and refuses to admit it, it means losing everyone's faith! In the future, Fujian Lvlin Road will have no face to mess with this world, and the faith is gone. Who will follow such a big brother.

Even if Zheng Zhilong is not angry and will make a comeback in the future, he still has to pay back the debt he owes Mao Jue! Otherwise, everyone will disperse, and there will be no place for his Zheng family in the future.

This can be regarded as a double insurance. Mao Jue still admires the contract spirit of the ancients in this era. Take Shanxi merchants as an example. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and Shanxi merchants who were bankrupts went bankrupt, but to what extent did they insist on the spirit of contract? Don't say that you will not be bad debts for a lifetime, if your father dies, your son pays back, your son dies and your grandson pays back, and some have repaid for decades or even hundreds of years, and you have to pay off your debts. Compared with later generations who are materialistic, people's hearts are not old, and there are old people everywhere. The morals of the world are much stronger.

Mao Jue also kept his word. When Zheng Zhilong made his oath, he didn't ask him for any mortgage. He just let him go, and you drove the boat away. Even Zheng Zhilong admired the good man on board, boarded the big treasure ship again, and Zheng Zhilong, the female escort of the priestess of Nidanik, stood behind him and said goodbye farewell.

"Zheng Mou bids farewell to the senior officials Mao. When the senior officials are free in the future, he will come to Fujian in person. Zheng Mou will make a big obeisance banquet and serve wine to make amends!"

"Zheng Da is polite, the green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. I wish you a good journey and smooth sailing! Don't let it go!"

"Leave it alone!"

At this point in the battle, friends on both sides waved goodbye like that described in knightly novels. Even if it was Daming who followed the ancient etiquette, this scene was rare. This time Mao Jue has gained both fame and fortune. Cai, Shi Daxuan, the three unlucky ones who suffered from the "shaving machine" of the Japanese country, the rest, no matter the big pirate or the small sea merchant, looked at Mao Jue with admiration, just like arranging power in the Japanese country step by step, he Mao Jue People have not yet reached the South China Sea of ​​Fujian, but their reputation has already spread. In the future, sailing on the Dongjiang River in the South China Sea, the benefits of today's fame will be limitless!

But the mouth is crooked, Mao Jue is still a passing God of Wealth for the time being, and he is still empty-handed up to now, and he has to pay for the military expenses by himself. He closed his jaw, changed his face with a bang, and then slapped Adelaina's head with his fan.

"Stop laughing! Call it a day! Go collect your next debt!"

"Humph!"

Secretary Yang rolled his eyes, and Kong Youde, Wen Meng, and a dozen Dongjiang generals, who were asked to laugh along with them, also closed their jaws, patted their buttocks, and dismissed work. It was time to drink and drink, and what to do.

Although the 500 million taels of war indemnity that Zheng Zhilong owed Mao Jue had to wait for him to return to Fujian and send it by express mail, there was still a benefit in front of him, and it was a benefit that money could not buy.

Man!

To be more precise, the pirates who have rich sailing skills and have traveled to the South China Sea for many years! During the negotiation between Mao Jue and Zheng Zhilong three days ago, he deliberately used words to trick Zheng Zhilong, and this old guy was really fooled. Of the more than 600 captured Zheng Jun pirates, he only redeemed 1 core subordinates of the Zheng family and other large merchants with relatively close influence, leaving more than [-] peripheral forces, small maritime merchants, The pirate captains who were alone and partnered were all abandoned.

The South Ship and the North Horse are not just talking, indeed, Mao Jue's fleet is quite visible now, but the farthest he has sailed to the south of the Yangtze River. Far.You must know that offshore and ocean are simply two concepts! This is why Magellan and Columbus, navigators and pioneers, are so admirable.

To be honest, the Zheng family's pirates' ocean-going capabilities are actually not that strong. They can't cross the Pacific Ocean and sail to Europe. They can't do these things, but at any rate they have traveled all over Southeast Asia, and the furthest one has even been to the Red Sea. On board, the Zheng family's pirates were also more experienced than the Dongjiang sailors. The only loss was that Dongjiang was an army, while Zheng's army was a pirate alliance, and they couldn't cooperate with each other. For Jue, it was solid gold.

But to put this gold in your pocket, you need to do something.

At this time, over the heads of these pirates at the port of Iki Island, there is an aura of doomsday.

The brothers and sisters who were in prison with me at one end carried their luggage home, but at the other end I had to squat in the cold warehouse, especially the inscription on Zheng Zhilong's oath, and the sound of crackling firecrackers at the port. Listening to the ears, watching others slap their butts and leave, and stay here and sit on the bench, one can imagine the feeling of being abandoned.

What made them even more disturbed was that starting in the afternoon, the number of Dongjiang troops near the prisoner-of-war camp suddenly increased several times.

Everyone is begging for life on the rivers and lakes. Many people have kidnapped people. Since they refuse to pay the ransom, everyone knows what will happen to the meat ticket. Most of them were ripped off!

Death is not scary sometimes, the most frightening thing is the torment before death, the increasingly gloomy, dark weather, the densely packed Japanese warrior spear array and Dongjiang bayonet group, every minute and every second for these abandoned pirates It was unbearable torment, some unwilling to die began to sneak together, and some were mentally weak and collapsed, sitting on the ground and crying loudly, revealing all kinds of life.

Although it is very vulgar, I have to say that there is a kind of person who has been invincible since ancient times, and can bring great benefits to people, that is, child care!

"My lord, please spare my life! The young ones have the old and the young, and there is a big family to support, please, don't kill me!"

On the eve of the depressing storm, leaning against the iron railing at the gate of the prisoner-of-war camp, a guy with long hair suddenly rushed out, knelt on the ground and cried loudly hugging the thigh of the Dongjiang army patrolling the gate.

But the play was too fake, not to mention the thunder but not the rain, the eye circles were not even red, and Mao Jue, who was waiting to make his debut next to him, put his hand on his head helplessly.

Who knows, the pirates on Zhoushan Island are quite dedicated, and the Dongjiang guard who patted his chest and promised to sing first-class dramas really looks like a drama singer, babbling and shaking his head three times, and his hair is messed up It was like Guo Degang in "Yueguang Treasure Box", and he sang with a long tune.

"Hey! Who said they wanted to kill you? Wow, what nonsense!"

Fancy is fancy, but let alone, when the two sang together, the nearby prisoners of Zheng Jun were attracted to each other in astonishment like flies that saw carrion. one out.

Seeing this great dancer, even the Zhoushan pirate who was entrusted was a little dumbfounded. After a long time, he remembered his lines, and hurriedly let out another dry howl, pointing at the Dongjiang army surrounded by bears outside. He cried again.

"It's not about killing us, so why are there so many military masters gathered outside? Aren't they going to tear up votes?"

In the real show, while the dumbfounded Zheng Jun pirates looked around eagerly, Dongjiang's "super actor" made a beard with his hands. I really doubted that he was from his hometown in Hebei, and sang the melody of Jingdong drums.

"Oh, you said, these soldiers, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"

A group of pirates almost died of anger, who doesn't care why so many Dongjiang soldiers came here with knives and guns?But this guy just kept wowing to whet his appetite, and his neck stretched and shrunk. I have to admit, Dongjiang's training is really good, this guy has a lot of lung capacity, and his face was flushed for more than a minute. , it's not over yet.

Even Song Xiance couldn't stand it anymore, this guy had to come out ahead of time, and got out of the hidden tank, as thick-skinned as he was with a forced smile, he smiled and waved his hands and walked quickly to the door.

"Don't panic, don't panic, this, this is my family's general who is afraid that everyone will be nervous, so he sent everyone to liven up the atmosphere!"

"Hey, Mr. Song, I haven't finished my little lines yet, woo woo woo"

One covered his mouth, the other held his arms, and the three guards carried the "Jingdong Drum", which can be regarded as being framed out.Looking back, Song Xiance couldn't help but wiped his sweat secretly, and then he raised his hands high and pressed down enthusiastically.

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient!"

"My family's general has decided to release all of you, and each of you will be paid ten taels of silver for traveling expenses. These soldiers are also placed to maintain order, so don't rob them like crazy!"

Nonsense! Life is almost gone, who would dare to snap it up?If you want to make people feel extremely grateful, you must first make him feel extremely desperate. These soldiers were purely used by Mao Jue to scare people, but the effect was set. The one or two thousand pirates nearby were simply stunned. One by one stood there dumbfounded, while the ones behind couldn't hear clearly, and anxiously moved forward to inquire.

This is probably what it feels like to escape from the dead.

However, there is no shortage of shit stirrers! Among the crowd, someone immediately shouted.

"Everyone, don't be fooled! There's no such thing as a good thing! This guy named Mao is clearly trying to trick us into being vigilant, and then pushes them out one by one to kill him. That's what is said in the drama!"

"Everyone, don't be fooled!"

Not to mention, these guys are really destructive. Fortunately, Mao Jue was prepared. He took the "conscious" captives out to "remember bitterness and think sweetness". There were hundreds of them alone. The feces were stirred inside, and the nurses outside were dutiful and eager to move forward, kneeling on the ground in gratitude to Ti Lin, hugging Song Xiance's thigh.

"My parents gave birth to me, and Lord Mao recreated me!"

"A small thank you, Master Mao, for your generosity!"

Almost not being lifted up, Song Xiance waved his hands again and again, with a big face smiling like honey, he shouted helplessly.

"They are all kind-hearted generals, everyone line up and get the money!"

"Long live Maolongtou!"

With a cheer, the mighty army of captives rushed out, and the few shit-stirring sticks were left in place. The skeptics watched with squinting eyes, and then they were stared at by a large group of Dongjiang soldiers outside the fence.

To kill you, a few rounds of volleys are enough, so there is no need to go to war like this?

In "Water Margin", the reason why Xiaoxuanfeng Chai Jinchai and the officials are so popular is that they rely on four words, donate righteousness and donate money! Take in wanted criminals, provide them with food and drink, and save the suffering like a living Bodhisattva.This Mao Jue was also a high-ranking officer once, not to mention that he didn't kill them, and there was still money to pay for travel expenses. After queuing up to claim it, some pirates bit them in disbelief.
