There was a murderous atmosphere in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the henchmen of the shopkeepers from all walks of life all drew their weapons and glared at each other, and the scene was about to erupt.

From here, you can see the quality of the Zheng family: when Zheng Zhilong was there, he didn't say that the grain station was the manpower inside and outside the Chinese military tent, and they were all descendants of the Zheng family. The shopkeepers come here on weekdays to discuss matters, and the entourage has to stay outside the account, and only the Zheng family is in the account.

And since Zheng Zhilong's accident, all the shopkeepers who came to the military tent in China have brought their subordinates, and even after entering the account, there are henchmen standing behind them.

"Bastards, they're all their own brothers, what are you doing with your sword?" At this moment, beside Li Kuiqi, a middle-aged man who had been sitting on a chair and not moving stood up.

This person's name is Zhong Bin, one of the eighteen Zhi, and he has always been good friends with Li Kuiqi.

"Put away the knives." Zhong Bin stood up and said in a deep voice. The next moment, a few henchmen standing behind him first slowly put away their knives, and the rest of them also put away their knives one after another when they saw this situation.

"They are all brothers who eat in a pot, why bother to make such a fuss? I don't have to make people laugh at it. Zhong Bin saw that the situation had eased, so he added another sentence to play a round.

However, the initiator did not appreciate it. After Liu Xiang sneered, he said to Zhong Bin, who seemed to be honest: "Let's see how long you can survive", and then strode out of the Chinese army's tent with his subordinates.

After Liu Xiang went out, the subordinates who were waiting outside the tent quickly surrounded him and boarded a big bird boat on the dock and left.

But there was silence in the tent.

Brother Zheng naturally didn't have anything to say. The previous little abacus had been seen through and made clear, and when the shopkeepers drew their knives in the tent for the first time, the Zheng family suddenly found that they who were in charge of the grain table had become a child holding gold and became the target of everyone.

So not long after Liu Xiang left, the Zheng family also left the Chinese army tent in a cold and playful look.

When the two groups of men and horses left on their front and back feet, the big tent seemed much more spacious, and the tense atmosphere calmed down. And it was only at this time that Li Kuiqi, who had been sitting on the chair silently, slowly got up and sat on the chair opposite Zheng Zhifeng.

After Li Kuiqi sat down, a smile appeared on his wrinkled face, and then he turned sideways and said to a person in his 40s, chubby, dressed like an outsider: "Brother Ji, children can't hold it......"

When the fat man heard this, he first nodded in agreement, and then sighed: "The color is very strong, and the eyes of the rat are not as good as the brothers." ”

Chen Xinji, a native of Haicheng, Zhangzhou, was born in the Hirado Domain of Japan, and is one of the founding fathers of Yan Siqi Group. After Yan Siqi died unexpectedly that year, although Zheng Zhilong obtained the righteous name by marrying Yan Siqi's only daughter (the surname of the country was born in Japan at this time), so as to ostensibly take over Yan Siqi's power, Chen Xinji is still in charge of most of Yan Siqi's old subordinates.

In real history, Chen Xinji, who was not very interested in Zhao'an, would soon be killed by Zheng Zhilong after Zhao'an.

In the realm of traversals, things are reversed: Chen not only lets himself go, but also has a common language with Li Kuiqi, who also advocates continuing to be a pirate. This is also one of the reasons why the brothers of the Zheng family left in a hurry: Chen Xinji, who should theoretically be classified as the Zheng family's forces, did not show the slightest hint of the Zheng family, which made several young people suddenly shudder.

From Chen Xinji, you can get a glimpse of Zheng Zhilong's tightrope walking operation in history: no group of people is really with him. But Brother Zhilong has the ability to bring these arches and eight warped goods together, borrow their lives to open a film with the government, and then use the power of the government to kill the old brothers one by one, with a clear purpose, superb means, and frightening steps, which has to be admired.

......

When Li Kuiqi and Chen Xinji had smiles on their faces and began to whisper as if no one was around, Zhong Bin also turned around and beckoned to the group of small shopkeepers in the corner: "Dewei, talk closer." ”

Du Dewei knew that the field had been transferred to the leader interview mode, so after he and Hu Ba beside him glanced at each other, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he walked to Zhong Bin with his fists all the way: "Second Master Zhong, I haven't seen you for many days." ”

The next moment, he was affectionately pressed on the chair next to him by Zhong Bin: "Dewei, the matter has come to this, I'm afraid that the Zheng family will ask for the account." You're a bright-eyed person, I don't talk much......"

......

At this time, the real mastermind behind the gang who dragged the gang to the gang finally revealed his true colors. Who? Li Kuiqi + Zhong Bin combination.

Purely from the perspective of command, Li Kuiqi's value is also quite high. Historically, after his rebellion, he was able to win over most of the people and drive out Zheng Zhilong. However, like most mediocre pirate leaders, he has one flaw: a lack of strategic vision.

It turns out that only Zhao'an is the only way out.

Li Kuiqi, who is obsessed with being a liberal leader, has actually been taking the opportunity of the silence of the whole group to secretly do the work of the rest of the big mountains, including Chen Xinji.

And today, after everyone completely turned their faces, although it was difficult to use the public funds in the grain station to buy time for themselves to join forces in the next step, Li Kuiqi's group already knew it at this time.

That's why there was the scene just now: the two have begun to openly woo people, Li Kuiqi is responsible for winning over Dashantou, and Zhong Bin is responsible for Du Dewei, a small shopkeeper.

The way to win over is very simple, you only need to sing in your mouth: "Forgive me for being uninhibited and indulgent in my life", and people who don't want to be dogs for the government will naturally gather.

......

After a few cordial conversations with Zhong Bin and Zhong Da, Du Dewei gave way to the position: There is still a queue in the back, you can't stop others from entering, right?

So, Du Dewei quietly retreated to the corner, and when Hu Ba and Zhong Bin finished speaking, the two walked out of the tent together with a few small shopkeepers.

"Shopkeeper Du, you should have made a decision, right?"

As soon as a few small shopkeepers who were sympathetic to each other came out of the big tent, one of the small leaders named Cao Hu asked about the market from Du Dewei.

Cao Hu is a small boss with only 10 broken ships. This person has a square head and big ears, and looks very festive and honest from the face.

Du Dewei was stunned when he heard this. What is this place? This is the gate of the Chinese army's big tent! The people standing on both sides of the road are all the retinues of the big leaders from all walks of life, and talking nonsense will kill people!

After cursing from the bottom of his heart for the seemingly honest Cao Hu's mother to die as soon as possible, Du Dewei raised his head and laughed: "I think Second Master Zhong is reasonable." Jianghu people, it is only serious to drink and eat meat freely! ”

...... Cao Hu smiled after hearing this, and was speechless. After that, the group passed through a large number of Li Kuiqi and Zhong Bin's men in silence, got into the dock boat, said goodbye, and went their separate ways.

Du Dewei and Hu Ba's subordinates gathered together. When the two returned to the outer berth, which was more than three miles away from the dock of the Zhongzuo Institute, they gathered all their subordinates without saying a word, sharpened their knives and guns, and entered the whole guard mode.

The little people who live in the cracks every day have a very accurate premonition of danger: not long after the two came back, the earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded in the direction of the grain platform. Accompanied by the shouts of killing, a large number of pirates stationed in the core area of the dock began to kill each other, and the scene was chaotic.

Seeing this kind of hot scene from afar, the thin Duhu and the others couldn't care about who was cutting whom, and hurriedly ordered to set sail and leave first.

The location of the center left office is in the south corner of Xiamen. After the battle began, Du Hu and the two led a total of about 40 ships, most of which were fishing boats, and the tattered team began to move towards the sea off Xiamen.

Before the fleet rounded the headland in the lower right corner of Xiamen, Du Hu and the others breathed a sigh of relief: the current position is relatively safe, whether it is going north and south or east, the fleet has enough waterways to choose from.

The frightened Du Dewei sent a dinghy back to investigate as soon as possible.

However, before the dinghy could return, a large number of sea boats poured out from the direction of the center and left. There are about 300 large ships in this group, and there are no small boats.

Seeing the mighty fleet heading straight south on the ocean in the distance, Hu Ba stood at the bow of the boat and said affirmatively: "There is no need to guess, it must be the man of Liu Da's shopkeeper." ”

Du Dewei sighed: "Alas, it was an empty joy in the end, and Zheng Dalong's death was too inopportune." ”

Hu Ba also sighed with the friend beside him who wanted to recruit peace, and then the two waited silently at the bow of the boat for news.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, a large group of people rushed out from the direction of the center and left. In terms of quantity, the fleet this time is nearly half less than the size of Liu Xiang's gang, and the identity is very easy to confirm - the Zheng family went north along Xiamen Island to return to the old nest of Weitou Bay, and the fleet passed in front of Du Dewei and them, and the flag was clearly visible.

......

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the two dinghys sent out came back one after another.

The news brought back by the spies is not much different from the speculation of the two: first, Liu Xiang's gang began to storm the grain platform and fought with the Zheng family guarding the grain platform. Next, the Zheng clan began to retreat, and then just as Liu Xiang's men and horses were robbing the treasury silver, Li Kuiqi and Zhong Bin's men and horses rushed over again.

So after Liu Xiang resisted a few times from the enemy on both sides, he retreated to his own formation, and took some of the silver on the ship and went directly back to Guangdong. After Liu Xiang left, the Zheng brothers explained a few words to the confrontational Li Kuiqi, and then took the men and horses and some silver taels on the ship and went straight back to Anping's hometown.

When the spy said this, he revealed another piece of news: At present, Li Kuiqi, the chief shopkeeper of the center and left, is in the top spot. The shopkeeper of Li Da is gathering soldiers and horses, and sending people everywhere to spread the word, demanding that the small group of people who have run away go back to "discuss major matters", and "the grain will never be deducted".

When Hu Ba heard this, he let out a sigh of relief, and turned his head to look at Du Dewei beside him: "What, do you want to go back or not?" ”

Du Dewei frowned, looked at the undulating ocean, and said slowly: "Don't worry, you and my brother always have a place to go." ”
