"How do you know?" Yang Meng asked the liquor drunk.

The bartender next to him smiled, "Two guests, don't be nervous." This Mr. Steven is very happy today, and when he sees a yellow person with a whiter complexion, he will ask such a question. Oh, don't get me wrong, he's not really an alcoholic, he's a regular visitor to our place, he's a historian. It doesn't look like it, does it?"

Why is this so awkward? Yellow-skinned people? Well, that's right, Indonesians are all black, but historians are all like this? Pheasant graduated from university, right?

Hearing Yang Meng's admission, Steven was even more happy, "I finally found the Huaxia people!Do you know?Do you know?This discovery will shock Huaxia!" It seems that Steven has indeed drunk a little too much, and his speech is a little incoherent.

Xiao Peng frowned, looked at Steven, Steven looked at Xiao Peng's expression, laughed and patted Xiao Peng's shoulder, "easy, easy, I'm not hostile, I haven't drunk too much now, I know what I'm talking about." After speaking, Steven looked around, lowered his voice, and said to Xiao Peng, "Huaxia, I have found the whereabouts of Zheng Shi's treasure." When I bring them back, I'll see how I shock the world!"

"What did you say?" Xiao Peng was a little confused, there was nothing more bothersome than communicating with a drunk.

Seeing that Xiao Peng didn't understand, Steven shook his body and shouted directly, "I said I found the whereabouts of Zheng Shi's treasure!"

Steven's volume was too loud, and everyone noticed what was happening here, and then two white people came over, directly supported Steven, and apologized to Xiao Peng and the others, "I'm sorry, Steven was drunk and disturbed the two." ”

Xiao Peng waved his hand, "It's okay." You can see that he is really happy, he is asking us to share his happiness, and we will not mind. Take him away. Let him rest well, no matter how happy things are, drinking so much wine is not good for the body!"

"Wow, you Huaxia people are really good people. Thank you for your concern, and we'll take him back to rest!I wish you all a good time!" a white man said these words to Xiao Peng, and the other helped Steven out of the 'Nightingale' bar.

Seeing Steven being taken away, Xiao Peng whispered to Yang Meng, "Okay, let's drink less, let's leave early tomorrow morning, this time it's fun." Hey, it's really 'no place to find it, and it doesn't take much effort to get it'! God is taking care of us!"

"What does that mean?"

"Hehe, you'll know tomorrow!"

In the early morning of the next day, the two set sail directly to leave the port, but Xiao Peng did not go far, but lingered in the port.

"What the hell is that Zheng Shi clan that I talked about yesterday?" Yang Meng really couldn't hold back and asked. No matter how he asked last night, Xiao Peng always told him, 'I'll talk about it tomorrow', but Yang Meng's urgency was enough to choke!

Xiao Peng handed him a cigarette, motioned for him to refresh himself, and answered his question, "Mengzi, have you watched "Pirates of the Caribbean", do you remember the lady Qing in it?"

Yang Meng took the cigarette and lit it, "The face you said is painted like a monkey's ass, one of the nine pirate kings, the only woman in it?"

"Yes, yes, it's her," Xiao Peng nodded.

Yang Meng frowned: "Isn't that a character made up by Disney?"

"Well, it can also be said that it can be said that it is not, many people think that the prototype of Mrs. Qing is our great pirate Zheng Shi during the Qing Dynasty in China. Oh, you may not be familiar with Zheng Shi's family, so you should always know Zhang Baozai, right? Zheng Shi's is Zhang Baozai's stepmother and wife. Xiao Peng said.

Yang Meng smiled after hearing this, "Zhang Baozai, I have heard of this name, and it has been made into a TV series, but this relationship is quite messy, and it is not played like this on TV." ”

Xiao Peng glanced at Yang Meng, "In the TV, Zhang Baozai is still a 'righteous bandit' on TV, have you ever seen a righteous bandit who can dig up someone else's ancestral grave and take the corpse to make money?"

Yang Meng became interested, "Tell me about it, what's going on." ”

"That's a long story," Xiao Peng also lit a cigarette.

"It's okay, let's come out so early, nothing else, just have time. You speak slowly. ”

Xiao Peng laughed and said, "Actually, if you want to talk about Zheng Shi's family, you still have to start with Zheng Shi. ”

"Zheng Yi, who is this?" Yang Meng asked curiously.

"You are stupid, you know that it is Zheng Shi's husband when you hear this surname! Well, to put it bluntly, this black three-generation dog blood love history. ”

Yang Meng smiled and said, "Don't go around in circles, my melon seeds, peanuts and beer benches are ready, let's talk about it." ”

"Okay, okay, in fact, Zheng Yi and Shi Yang, that is, Zheng Shi's family, are actually descendants of gangsters, Zheng Yi's grandfather is the leader of the Red Flag Gang in the six-color flag of the Pearl River Estuary in the Qing Dynasty, and Shi Yang's family is also a pirate family, but Shi Yang is not so lucky, he directly sold his family to the Ji Courtyard and became the lowest level of prostitution. Xiao Peng said.

"Legend has it that Shi Yang looks very dark, but he looks very good, once Zheng Yi saw Shi Yang, and directly took her back to be Mrs. Zheng Shi, and renamed Zheng Shishi. At that time, Zheng Yi was the strongest in the pirate world, with nearly 1,000 ships! Zheng Yi was also a genius, and he also knew that he could unite pirates to form a pirate alliance, and he himself became the leader of the alliance, as well as his own shipyard! At that time, Zheng Yi was rampant and domineering at sea, collecting ship protection fees, and what kind of high sea ships and Chinese merchant ships came to rob anything. ”

And Shi Yang also felt that being a pirate was more promising than being Ji's girlfriend, so he embarked on the road of crime without hesitation, conscientiously doing Zheng Yi's virtuous help, and participating in the gang's big and small things from beginning to end. However, in the third year of the pirate alliance, Zheng Yi fell into the sea during a typhoon and died on the side of the Yue Kingdom. The Pirate League was leaderless in an instant. Oh, by the way, the prototype of Fa Ge in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" should be Zheng Yi!"

Hearing this, Yang Meng asked, "As soon as Zheng died, Shi Yang came to power? ”

Xiao Peng nodded, "After Zheng Yi's death, Zheng Yi's sister-in-law, that is, Shi Yang took over the Red Flag Gang, and she also knew that it was difficult for her to suppress the crowd, so she set strict rules for the gang after she took office. The thriving large-scale sea robbery entrepreneurial group is even regarded by the local people as a good example of robbing the rich and helping the poor. ”

"There's nothing wrong with my sister-in-law!" Yang Meng sighed.

Under her leadership, the Red Flag Gang also grew, and in its heyday, the Red Flag Gang had more than 800 large ships and more than 1,000 small boats, with more than 100,000 gangs! It was equivalent to the largest country in Southeast Asia at that time! Its scale was also the first in the world at that time, and the famous Viking could not catch up with her own Red Flag Gang. Xiao Peng continued. "I suspect that this Zheng Shishi has traveled back, the pirate regulations she formulated are strictly enforced, violators are severely punished, proper practical entrepreneurs, Zheng Yi's sister-in-law was rampant at sea in that era, let's not say how many ships were robbed, the sunken Qing Dynasty official ships alone reached sixty-three, and the British official ships and the Portuguese East India Company could only honestly pay protection money to her at that time. ”

"What's the matter with that Zhang Baozai?" Yang Meng asked.

Xiao Peng smiled, "Zhang Baozai, originally a fisherman's child, when he was fifteen years old, he was caught on the boat by the Red Flag Gang, Zheng saw that he looked like a talent, so he made him a prostitute, adopted as a righteous son, and became the male pet of Zheng Yi and his wife.

Yang Meng was stunned when he heard this: "This Zheng Yi has a very strong taste." ”

Xiao Peng shrugged, "On the pirate ship at that time, there were no women on land all day long, and this kind of thing was still very normal, and later after Zheng Yi died, Zhang Baozai hugged Zheng Yi's sister-in-law's thigh, and the two were called mother and son, and they were actually husband and wife. That is, the No. 1 and No. 2 people of the Red Flag Gang. ”

"Since this Red Flag Gang is so arrogant, why didn't the imperial court send troops to exterminate them at that time?" Yang Meng asked curiously.

"Who said that they would not be exterminated?" Xiao Peng replied, "At that time, the entire South China Sea was under the control of Zheng Shi's family, and it was a nightmare for the entire Western merchant ships! In the end, the Qing government could not bear it anymore and directly united with the British Navy and the Portuguese Navy to encircle and suppress the Red Flag Gang. On the other hand, Zhang Baozai's fleet was allowed to go straight down the river into the Pearl River Delta, plundering while fighting, and the refugees fled in droves in the direction of Guangzhou, while the pirates hung two human heads with whips around their necks and chased them frantically behind the refugees. ”

Yang Meng asked, "Then what happened to the Zheng Shi clan, are they dead?"

Xiao Peng smiled: "I was recruited." In fact, this has to talk about another person, called Guo Po Dai, this is the boss of the Black Flag Gang, when the Red Flag Gang was surrounded, Zheng Shi asked Guo Po to take and asked him to send troops to help, but Guo Po Dai felt that we were both competitors, why should I help you? Zheng Yi's sister-in-law saw that it was okay to do this? So she discussed it with Zhang Baozai and said that she was also willing to accept Zhao'an, Zhang Bailing was overjoyed when she heard this, and personally led her entourage directly to Zheng Shi's and Zhang Baozai's ship to negotiate. In the fifteenth year of Jiaqing, the imperial court received 270 large ships, 16,000 helpers, 5,000 women and children, 7,000 swords and spears, and 1,200 artillery pieces without spending a single soldier. Zhang Bailing, the governor of Liangguang, was directly awarded the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty Shaobao because of his meritorious service to recruit Zheng Shi, and was awarded the title of second-class light Zhuo Duwei, and Zhang Baozai changed his name to Zhang Bao, and the official title was the deputy general of the second rank, and Zheng Shishi was awarded the general of Qian by the Qing government, and he was also the first female officer in the Qing Dynasty!"

After Yang Meng heard this, he looked disappointed, "Feelings are another Song Jiang, isn't this a treachery halfway?" ”

Xiao Peng looked at Yang Meng's expression and smiled slightly, "You didn't find an important problem?"

Yang Meng was stunned: "What's the problem?"

Xiao Peng slightly, "The Red Flag Gang has 100,000 people, and there are nearly 2,000 large and small ships, but there are only 16,000 people and 270 ships that have descended with the Zheng Shi clan, so where did the rest of the people and ships go?"

When Yang Meng heard this, he reacted, "Yes, where are the rest of the people?"

Xiao Peng pointed to the sea in front of him, "It's here!" After Zheng Shi's surrender, she left tens of thousands of people on Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia, and they have always refused to surrender to the imperial court and continue to plunder on the sea. Some people say that it is because they disdain to be in the company of Zheng Shi's clan, but have you ever thought about it? How could the Red Flag Gang let Zheng Shi's clan lead the ship to clear the Qing Dynasty so easily? The two sides must have reached some agreement before they did this. And when Zheng Shi and Zhang Baozai went to take office, they didn't have much wealth with them, do you think about it, can the wealth of these two such big pirate leaders be less? Where did they go? Is this the reason why the Red Flag Gang let Zheng Shi be cleared?"

"You mean, Zheng Shi and Zhang Baozai gave their treasures to the Red Flag Gang?" Yang Meng asked.

Xiao Peng shook his head, "I don't think it's possible to give the money directly to the Red Flag Gang, after all, if the money is given directly, then the Zheng Shi clan and they will have no value in existing." According to my analysis, it is very likely that the treasure was left somewhere and not taken away, and the Red Flag Gang saw that Zheng Shi's family did not leave with the treasure, so everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie, so they let Zheng Shi's family go. After all, the clue is only in her hands. ”

After hearing this, Yang Meng clapped his hands: "Yesterday, that Steven said that they found the whereabouts of Zheng Shi's treasure?"

Xiao Peng smiled and nodded, "I'm not sure yet, but looking at his happy appearance, it should have something to do with the Zheng Shi clan." Otherwise, why would I stop them here early in the morning? The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, let's take a look. ”

When Yang Meng heard this, his eyes lit up: "Good idea! Just do it! Let's follow." ”

Xiao Peng glanced at him, "Where are they, you will follow?"

"Well, we haven't seen Steven's ship leave the harbor yet."
