Changping Island was originally the last place to buy and sell in the scheduled plan of the Fuzhilong fleet in Guangchangping, and after completing this business, he would return to Guangdong.

Because the expected spices could not be purchased on Changping Island, several directors of the Fuzhilong fleet in Guangchangping temporarily added a purchase point after a meeting, changed the course, and sailed to Mayi again.

Ma Yi was in the south of Luzon, but he had relations with China or was still before Luzon. Its island was also developed early, and in the face of the invasion of Westerners, its performance was much stronger than that of Changping Island, and it can still maintain its self-reliance. Maritime traders, familiar islands usually represent safety, unfamiliar waters represent danger, here is one of the traditional trading points of the Chinese to the South Seas, the islanders have also been quite aware of the value of things, and know how to collect spices and strange goods from the surrounding islands for the sea merchants, it can be said that it has formed a distribution center for goods. In terms of prices, it is higher than Changping Island and other shallower development sites, but its trade system and supply system are relatively perfect, if you want to calculate the benefits and costs, it is more cost-effective to collect goods separately on each island that is shallow in the development of the islands, but at this time, the temporary change of shipping routes, you can go to such more mature trade points to sell goods.

When the Guangchang Ping Fu Zhilong fleet arrived here, there were four other fleets on the island, one from Arabia, one from Fujian, and two from Guangdong, which were inferior to the Guangchang Ping Fu Zhilong fleet in terms of scale, but Zhang Changyi still sent Zhang Yixing and He Wuxing to greet him according to politeness, and let Zhang Yisheng and Yu Bu resign to prepare supplies and trade, and Dongmen Qing and other ten people also received the task - Shen Wei as He Wuxing's assistant, Zhou Dafu as Yu Buxi's assistant, these two received more important tasks, As for the carrying and lifting of bullfrogs, etc., I will not go into details.

They stayed on the island for three days, because there happened to be a batch of cardamom arrived, and someone transferred a few boxes of chili peppers from the southwest, after buying these two batches of goods, the fleet's purchase volume slightly exceeded the budget, Zhang and Yang were about to order the ship, not wanting to have another accident, it turned out that Zhang Yixing gambled again, and actually stole and Chen Wu, the head of another Chinese fleet, gambled, and lost a mess, he kept borrowing debts and wanted to turn over, but the more he borrowed, the more he lost, the more he lost. It wasn't until later that I calculated the accounts and realized that the lost accounts were equivalent to half a shipload of goods in Guangchangping! Only then did I sweat coldly and was at a loss. Chen Wu saw that he had no money and refused to let him go back, so he only asked him to send one of his men to report the news.

Zhang Changyi almost fell on the deck in anger when he heard the fire, but fortunately Zhang Yue'e was by his side to support and comfort, so he stabilized and said angrily: "This beast who is not talented!" Leave him alone! Leave him alone! Let's go! Let's go! ”

Everyone knew that he was angry, but they didn't dare to be angry, or they were usually dissatisfied with Zhang Yixing and gloated, only Yang Zhizhong stood up and said: "Brother, if you owe gambling debts, you will be killed and feed the sharks, and you can't blame people, this is not a joke, you still have to think of a way." ”

Zhang Changyi said angrily: "Method? What's the solution? Is it really impossible to take out half of Guangchangping's goods? Guangchangping is not my own! After taking this money, we will all have to eat the northwest wind when we return to Guangdong! Rather than let a boatload full of brothers starve to death, don't let this beast go! If you want to feed the sharks, let him feed the sharks! ”

Yang Zhizhong said: "This ......" has no good law for a while.

When Zhang Yisheng heard this, he knelt down, kowtowed again and again, and cried: "Uncle, uncle, you must save my brother!" He's just not going to be able to do it anymore, but for the sake of our dead father, we can't help but save him no matter what! ”

Zhang Changyi couldn't help but cry when he heard him mention his deceased brother, pressed his constantly undulating chest, and sighed: "Brother I am wise, how did you give birth to these two unsuccessful things!" That's it, that's it! ”

Hearing these two "that's it", everyone on the boat knew that Zhang Changyi was still soft-hearted, Zhang Yisheng was overjoyed, so he didn't give up his face and stepped forward and said: "Owner, do you really want to send them half a shipload of goods?" This ......"

Cui Guangnan also said: "Owner, we have always had no opinion on the decision you made, but this matter, alas, ......"

Zhang Yisheng shouted: "Most of the cargo of this ship belongs to our Zhang family, you are just Xiaodong!" And Fu Zhilong also has our goods over there, if you really want to save people, you don't need your things! ”

Zhang Changyi said angrily when he heard this: "You stop me!" Zhang Yisheng bowed his head and was silent, and then summoned the directors except Zhang Yisheng, as well as Yu Buqi and He Wuxing, to enter the cabin to discuss the matter. Zhang Yisheng couldn't help but be unhappy when he saw that he was excluded.

After entering the ship's main cabin, Zhang Changyi said: "This matter can't be good." If we listen to their words and send half a shipload over, we are afraid that Guangchangping will be scattered! ”

He Wudaunt said: "Do you want to do it?" ”

Zhang Changyi pondered for a moment and said, "This is the last resort. Chen Wu's owner is called Liu Kebao and is a Hakka. I know this person, he doesn't engage in prostitution and gambling, and he hates his subordinates the most for hiding from him to commit adultery, so I expect that this Chen Wu and Yixing gambling this time are mostly hiding from Liu Kebao! And he can make Yixing lose so much, most of which is a game! Such things can be seen by a discerning person. So I want to send someone over on this point, bypass Chen Wu, and talk to Liu Kebao directly! If you want to talk to Chen Wu, you can't talk about anything - Yixing lost to Chen Wu this time, but it was a lot of money, which was enough for Chen Wu to form a fleet on an equal footing with Liu Kebao! Asking Chen Wu to give up this gambling debt by himself is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger! But Liu Kebao is Chen Wu's peak, if Chen Wu's plot is successful, it will threaten his position, so if you look for him directly, it is possible, as long as his words are squeezed by us, he may reprimand Chen Wu for foul behavior as the owner, so that although Chen Wu will not be convinced, as long as we have this excuse, things will be easy to do in the future! If Chen Wu swallows his anger under Liu Kebao's oppression, then everything will naturally be fine, if the two are not harmonious, then we are happy to sit and watch the tiger fight! ”

Yu Buzhi said: "I'll do this thing!" ”

Zhang Changyi thought for a while and said, "No, your eloquence is good, but you are not ruthless enough." Whether Liu Kebao will agree to this matter is really between five or five, if you can't suppress him in momentum, then it is useless for you to know how to benefit him! ”

He Wudaunt said: "Then I'll go!" ”

Zhang Changyi still shook his head and said: "You are too chivalrous and can't grasp the proportions of this matter." This degree must be grasped very well, not only to make Liu Kebao inclined to us, but also to squeeze so that he can't help but agree, but at the same time, we must avoid making him angry...... You can't do it, you can't do it. ”

Yang Zhizhong exclaimed: "Brother, you don't want to go by yourself, do you?" ”

"I'm going on my own? Well, as far as I can do it, I think I can do it. Zhang Changyi said: "But my identity is not suitable - I am the owner of the ship, the head of the entire caravan, and my status at sea is higher than Liu Kebao, I go to see him, it is self-deprecating identity - I don't care about this false name, but as soon as Liu Kebao sees me going, he will inevitably rise and gain inches, then this matter will be out of control and become more difficult." ”

Yang Zhizhong said: "If the old brother does this, then who else can we go here?" ”

"If it had been half a month ago, I really couldn't find anyone to come!" Zhang Changyi said: "But now there is a candidate!" ”

Yu Buzhi asked fearlessly: "Who?" ”

Zhang Changyi said: "Wang Qing! ”

Yang Zhizhong was shocked: "He? How can that work! How long has he been here! ”

"He's not coming soon, so it's even better!" Zhang Changyi said: "Now he has no position on the ship, and his qualifications are the most shallow, if something happens, we have room to shirk." ”

Yu Buzhi said: "But can he do this?" He's a mute after all! ”

Zhang Changyi said: "Dumb? Although he is mute, he can do things that people with convenient tongues can't! I think so! ”

Everyone convinced him that he was surprisingly accurate, and Cui Guangnan said: "If the owner thinks it's okay, then you might as well let him try." And they all said yes.

Zhang Changyi looked at Yu Buzhi, and went out to find Dongmen Qing without quitting, Zhang Changyi said to He Wuxing: "You also go to prepare and prepare, if Wang Qing can't do this, he has no choice but to fight!" He Wudaunt also took the order and left.

Soon Dongmen Qing entered the cabin, Zhang Changyi invited him to sit, and he was not tactful, saying: "Don't talk nonsense today, the old man will say it directly." Do you know about Zhang Yixing? ”

Dongmen Qing nodded, and Zhang Changyi said, "I want to ask Wang Gongzi for a favor." Dongmen Qing made a gesture, expressing his willingness to serve, followed by his right hand made a "kill" gesture, and looked at each other.

Zhang Changyi shook his head and said, "No, it's not that far." ”

Dongmen Qing's face was embarrassed, and he crossed out on the table word by word: "Money and silver matters can be solved without words." ”

Seeing that he immediately pointed out this key, Zhang Changyi said with a smile on his face: "Indeed, the matter of money and silver must be solved either with money or silver, or with a sword, and the tongue is naturally not good." However, Chen Wu is not the owner of the ship, and his owner has always forbidden his subordinates to gamble, so Chen Wu must be hiding from Liu Kebao to set up a bureau to lure my nephew into his trap! The rich on the sea are respected, the powerful are tyrants, and Liu Kebao's strength seems to be inferior to Chen Wu, but the rich are surpassed. If Chen Wu's plan succeeds, Liu Kebao will not be able to restrain him! There's such a stake in them that maybe we can take advantage of it! ”

Dongmen Qing nodded slightly when he heard this, and seemed to have some eyebrows.

Zhang Changyi said again: "However, the truth of the matter is that it is said that it is not so simple to do." Liu Kebao is a person who deceives the good and fears the evil, is fierce inside, and has the reputation of protecting the short. How to inadvertently wake him up to this level of stake and let him have a step, the relationship between this is extremely delicate, Wang Gongzi, if you go, how sure are you? ”

Dongmenqing thought for a moment and stretched out his thumb and little finger.

Zhang Changyi was overjoyed and said: "Sixty percent? Even if I go, it's only fifty percent! Good, good! If you're 60% sure, go for it! Even if you let go of your hands, I will endorse you for everything! If things don't work out, it's okay to kill them directly! Let's make a mess of him! He asked him how many people he needed, and Dongmen Qing said nine, and Zhang Changyi understood that he wanted the original team, agreed on the spot, and let them go to the weapon cabin to choose their own weapons. Dongmenqing asked for some belongings, and Zhang Changyi readily agreed.
