Chapter 34: The Pirate Sailors
Ouyang Shi originally wanted to recruit the high pharmacist in person, but after thinking about it, this was also a good opportunity to test Cao Xiaocai, so he said to him: "You go, I'll wait for you ashore." Tell the high pharmacist that if he is really capable and willing to be loyal, I will buy a good boat for him to drive. ”
Cao Xiaocai was overjoyed and drove the boat.
Ouyang Shi and Ouyang Guo rested in a fishing village by the sea, and there was no news on the second day, Ouyang Guo was a little worried, and asked Ouyang Yun: "Brother, what if he doesn't come back?" ”
Ouyang Shi said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, there is not much money and food on this ship, and what I gave to the soldiers is January's salary, and he can't go far even if he wants to go." I think this Cao Xiao is a smart person, these days seeing my department's ability to extort everyone, and the financial resources to spend money to buy a ship, I should guess that my background is not so simple. He will not lose my backer before his foundation is secure. ”
At noon on the third day, I saw Cao Xiaocai's ship returning, followed by a broken ship. Ouyang Shi greeted him, Ouyang Guo stopped him and said, "Brother, I'll go up and have a look first." These are all newly acquired people, and it is difficult to guarantee that there are no dissenting hearts after two days. Or let me recruit them ashore to be my brother. ”
Ouyang Shi hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "Maritime matters should be resolved at sea." If I cower, I will be looked down upon by them. On that day, the Jurchens rebelled against Liao, and I also participated in it. I'm not afraid of thousands of troops going back and forth, and I'm afraid of these dozens of pirates? ”
When the sea ship approached, Ouyang Shi asked Ouyang to prop up a small boat and lean over, borrowed strength from the escalator, and flew onto the deck. He stood on the deck as steady as a Mongol on horseback.
Cao Xiaocai led people to line up to greet him early, and saluted: "Ouyang Gongzi is very capable!" As he spoke, he pointed to a bald man behind him and said, "This is the high pharmacist." Brother Gao, this is Ouyang Gongzi. ”
Gao Yaoshi stepped forward and saluted with his fists: "I heard Lao Cao say that Ouyang Gongzi is recruiting troops and horses, and he is here to get along." ”
Ouyang Shi saw that he was short in stature, but extremely fierce, obviously trained in the wind and waves for many years, and liked it in his heart, and asked, "How many brothers have you brought?" ”
Yao Shi Gao was a little frustrated and said: "In the past two years, there are only about fifty people left under my hands. ”
Ouyang Shi said: "Don't be afraid, people are not expensive." I heard that you have had a hard time in the past two years, and these people are still willing to follow you, and I think they are all loyal and brave men. ”
Gao Yaoshi said: "That's! All excellent brothers. ”
Ouyang Shi said: "Are all the people on the boat behind?" I'll go take a look. ”
The two ships anchored side by side, with a gap of more than a zhang in between, Ouyang Shi passed by, and the high pharmacist applauded and shouted, "Ouyang Gongzi is also from the sea, right?" I don't know if I have a relationship with Ouyang Jida. ”
Ouyang Shi smiled: "That's my uncle." ”
Gao Yaoshi was overjoyed, thinking that he was originally from a big family on the sea, not a land chick with only two money, and this trip seemed right.
Ouyang Shi inspected the manpower of the high pharmacist's boat, and saw that the ship was dilapidated, and he was afraid that he would not be able to go to sea, and half of the more than fifty people were old and weak, and all of them had dishes, so he couldn't help but be quite disappointed. He said to the high pharmacist: "If you want to vote for me, these people will have to be streamlined." ”
Yao Shi said with a bitter face: "Ouyang Gongzi, these are all brothers who share the joys and hardships with me!" If I abandon them, I fear that they will all starve to death. Ouyang Gongzi, don't look at them now, if they are full, they will be alive and well! ”
Ouyang Shi saw that he was affectionate, and he was not upset, and said: "In this way, these people still have to be streamlined, let them go ashore to sit and inquire about some things, I still make up for the money and food, and they are not hungry." But all those who remained on this ship had to be strong men. ”
The expression on the face of the high medicine master relaxed, and said: "It is naturally best for Gongzi to arrange it like this, but there are a few old men who are old sharks at sea and are familiar with all the sea routes in the East China Sea, can they be allowed to stay?" ”
Ouyang Shi smiled: "Such a talent! Of course, this is not the limit! ”
Ouyang Shi sent Ouyang over to count the number of new dependents and distribute money and food, while the three of them returned to the cabin where Cao Xiaocai was on the ship.
Seeing that there was no one, Pharmacist Gao asked: "Ouyang Gongzi, don't think that Lao Gao is a new person, take the liberty of asking, Gongzi, are you recruiting us people, what kind of big deal are you going to do?" ”
Ouyang Shi, the origin of the Han Department, never told Cao Xiaocai, feeling that it was not yet time, and now he said that it was a little public, and then he heard a smile: "Trading? I'm going to have a big deal. Say it now, I'm afraid it will scare you. ”
Cao Xiaocai and Gao Yaoshi looked at each other, and Gao Yaoshi said: "The deeds on the sea are always a portal, and our two ships will belong to the Ouyang family in the future, right?" ”
Ouyang Shi said: "Ouyang family? Hey! It's where I come from, but it's just a small pool for me. ”
Cao Xiaocai and Gao Yaoshi were shocked, and Cao Xiaocai said, "Isn't the boat we are sitting on now built by the Ouyang family?" ”
Ouyang Shi said: "It was made by the Ouyang family. But my uncle and I are close to each other, but the money is clear on the books, and the boat was bought. Pharmacist Gao, you do a good job, I have already told my cousin, let the Ouyang family drive another boat, and you will be in control at that time. ”
The high pharmacist was overjoyed and said, "So, Ouyang Gongzi is going to set up his own door?" ”
Ouyang Shi smiled and said, "Let me tell you straight, our forces are inland, so you haven't heard of it." But sooner or later we will have to expand to the seaside, and my visit is only a prelude. As for how big our power is, I can't tell you clearly for a while, but you can understand it when you look at it slowly. But one thing you have heard me clearly: I don't want to offend anyone on this sea for the time being, but I'm not afraid to offend when necessary! You two do your best at my command, and there will be a day when you will be prosperous and rich. If lard is blinded and dares to fight bad ideas, no one will be able to protect you! ”
Gao Yaoshi Cao Xiaocai hurriedly said: "Don't dare! Can't! ”
The three of them were talking, and someone knocked on the door to report: "There is a Liu Qi on the shore, with seven or eight people, who said that he was a subordinate of Ouyang Gongzi." ”
Ouyang Shi nodded and said, "Let him come up." ”
Not long after Liu Qi entered the door, he had also been out to sea, and he did not shake at all when he walked on the boat.
Ouyang Shi asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Liu Qi glanced at Gao and Cao,
Ouyang Shi asked, "Is it Huining's matter, or Liaojing's intelligence?" ”
Liu Qidao: "Liaojing." ”
Ouyang Shi said: "Then let's say it directly, don't avoid the two of them." ”
Liu Qidao: "The deputy capital of the imperial camp, Yelu Zhangnu, is reversed. ”
Ouyang Shi was overjoyed and said, "How is he!" I thought it was Jeruchun. ”
Liu Qidao: "That's right, I heard that he supports Prince Chun." However, Prince Chun has not yet reacted. ”
Ouyang Shi said: "No matter how Ye Luchun reacts, a turmoil in Liao is always inevitable. ”
Gao Yaoshi and Cao Xiaocai couldn't hear it at first, and only then did their faces change color after hearing the names of the deputy capital of the imperial camp and Prince Chun. Thinking of Ouyang Shi's words, his heart was extremely shocked: Dare to love this Ouyang Shi is really a big man! Otherwise, how could they pay attention to the rebellion of the Liao royal family?
Ouyang Shi glanced at them and said lightly: "Don't worry, you don't have to pay attention to the things on the shore, and you won't be able to take risks even if they are there." ”
