Chapter 96: Undercurrent

The first update

At this time, the sea area of Fujian is surging at this time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Fourth, everyone sent elite soldiers and strong generals, and they entered the Fujian Sea these days according to the strategy set by Zeng Fan in Beijing.

The four families are scattered, but they are also exchanging news, and in the past few months, they have secretly encroached on several small nests of pirate strongholds. Slowly put his own territory on the overseas islands.

Originally, the sea also had its own sphere of influence, and each small island had its own group of people, and they did not interfere with each other. Of course, they are also mutually contained. Zeng Fan's plan was that the four of them would start from the periphery, as if they were playing Go, each playing a game, but they were each other's horns.

The four families are all ancestors of land grabbing, and the real naval battle may be almost there, but in terms of land grabbing, they really don't lack anything, they want people and money. Those small islands slowly and unconsciously changed their surnames. Then everyone was silent, grabbed it, and what to do was to stand firm. Each on his own turf, buys people's hearts and excludes dissent. None of this needs to be taught. Zeng Fan instructed them that when he was not in Fujian, they only had to do this.

But no matter how hidden it is, the surrounding islands have changed their principals, how could Zheng Fifteen, the big boss of the main island, not know. Those who can be kings on this sea, in addition to their extremely high military value, their IQ is not low. He is not a vegetarian, every few years the island will be shuffled, even on his own big island, several masters are still at odds with each other, if he is not there, maybe what will happen. So in his opinion, it is not surprising that the person who changed the principal. But he thought it was strange why everyone changed together.

In recent years, the pirates have not had a good time, under the joint suppression of the imperial court and the British fleet, they originally had a thousand clippers, but now they are less than two hundred, and the firearms are bought from the Portuguese, but because there is still a huge difference with the British warships, and there is also the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court sailors in the middle. At this time, he was a little reluctant to retreat, but it was difficult to find a way out.

The fate of the pirate king Zhang Baozai more than 20 years ago has also been seen by everyone. was recruited, and when you look back, people still don't believe in you and don't let you have a good life. Take the wealth you have stolen over the years and go away? As long as he dares to go, there will be people who were robbed by them at the beginning, and they will be hunted down to the ends of the earth. They are on the pirate island, no one can do anything to them, but if they really go out, what are they worth?

At this time, for the pirate group, everyone actually knows what kind of predicament they are facing, and there is a twilight in the sky on the island, which seems to be overwhelming everyone.

Zheng Shifu sits in the position of the big boss, so he can't help but do things. The king of pirates who can sit on this position, they also have their own cautions. Naturally, I had to send someone to investigate, but when I checked, I found that I couldn't find anything. But in return, the new leaders of these four islands are all fresh faces, and they don't seem to be locals. At this moment, the big boss noticed that something was wrong, and at this time, his intuition was that it would be someone sent by the imperial court to occupy the island first and surround it. If you turn around, you can let the cannons of those foreign devils hit you? I can only gather all the heads of the house at home and talk about what is happening outside.

"Big brother, you are too careful, people from other provinces want to get a 'not a raptor but a river'. But this is the sea, let them know who Mazu Niangniang is protecting. The second boss rolled his eyes disappreciatively, in fact, he knew earlier than the big boss, but he didn't find out, but Lu Xudong was nominally his person at this time.

The second master has a concubine on land, not a girl in the village, it is really fine skin and tender meat, and the baby eggs in the second master's heart. And all this, Zeng Fan has already found out, and Brother Hao has not given that a lot of benefits over the years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the internal responsibility of the Zeng family.

The one who introduced Lu Xudong to the second master, and Lu Xudong became a distant relative of that person and came to take refuge. And Lu Xudong did not follow the second master into the big island, after he gained the trust of the second master. began to discuss with the second master, he couldn't go to the big island with him, and when he went, he showed his face, so it was better to be outside and help the second master fight a real world.

Otherwise, Lu Xudong would not have gotten a piece of land so quickly, pirates have their own way of survival, if there is no one who knows how to do it, how could Lu and the other four occupy a place so quickly.

And the other three people's means are almost the same, each boss has its own weaknesses, four people are divided into one, one by one, at this time the big boss has a meeting, and the following four main masters each have a ghost, where can they hear what the big boss is saying, what they think is, don't let others know their little abacus.

"Why don't you want to think about it, what if this is a ploy of the imperial court?" Although Zheng Shifu also knew that the people's hearts were a little scattered, he also wanted the proper system, so he could only say it well.

"Haha, haha!" The four people below laughed in unison, and the four of them felt that they had each taken one of the four small islands, and they hadn't thought about the other three islands at this time. They said they didn't want to look any further.

"Big brother is really, if the court knows our location, just call the foreign devils to fight, the most foreign devils will be able to drive the warship for a while, bomb the people clean, and they will pick up the bargain again. And how could the group of cowards in the court think of breaking through them one by one, even if they wanted to, did they have the ability? "It's the fourth brother who speaks, and he is also the white fan on the big island, that is, the military advisor. Even if I've read a book for a few days, I have a little bit of cleverness in my head.

"This is to the point, how can those soft eggs in the court do this. Recently, we have been going out less, that is, making small fights, and collecting protection fees from merchants who come and go. But it's really not going to work out like this, big brother, you have to get a charter out. The third child patted the table and said, "Think back then, we robbed the official ship of the Governor's Mansion, didn't they honestly take 200,000 taels of silver out to ransom people?" See what kind of life we're living now? ”

"And what about you?" Zheng Shifu felt really tired, at this time he felt that he should really go to Portugal, he bought a lot of weapons with them, and there were a few acquaintances.

"In my opinion, why don't we go and ...... with Admiral Sailor" The fourth child said very vaguely, but everyone understood what he meant. As long as a lot of bribes are gone, it will be better to live a better life in the future. They have actually been like this all these years, and every admiral of the water division has been fed by them.

"We haven't fed less over the years, but when it's time to fight, people haven't fed less?" Zheng Shifu looked at the fourth child coldly. Over the years, have you fed less? But they have grown from a thousand ships, and now there are only two hundred, and now they can only shrink out like this.

"Big brother, you have to think so, if we hadn't fed it, I'm afraid there would be nothing now. For those sailors, what else can they do without us? The fourth child also sneered, but this sneer was not aimed at Zheng Shifteen, but the resentment towards the water master.
