Chapter 103: The Night Banquet of the Sea Boat
The banquet was held as scheduled, Chen Si was an upstart on the sea, his foundation was worse than Nan Xu Dong, and the food was full of big fish and big 'meat', and there was nothing to taste, but the ingredients were also extremely luxurious. At the beginning, Chen Si only toasted and ate, but didn't say anything about cooperation, Chen Liu couldn't help but feel a little anxious, afraid that his brother would change his mind, but Yang Zhizhong and Dongmenqing knew that since the other party had already set up a banquet invitation and was such a pomp, they would definitely not be without the following.
Sure enough, when the wine was already drunk, Chen Sidao: "Just drinking wine and eating 'meat' is too boring!" Who's going to make some shows to watch? ”
Ling Hu Xi said: "Wait for the arrangement of subordinates." "As soon as he raised his hand, some of his men raised their flags and signaled, and in a moment eighteen three-masted galleons rushed out of the harbor, with their distinctive armor, breaking through the 'waves' in the night wind, and surrounded the feasting ship! The east 'gate' was celebrated, Yang Zhizhong's face 'color' changed slightly, and Wu Ping, who was on Qinghuaxiang, saw that he also ordered to anchor and set sail to prepare for battle, so he heard dozens of bangs and bangs at the same time, but it was the eighteen warships that released fireworks and 'flowers' together, as if dozens of fresh 'flowers' were embroidered on the black screen, and then withered and disappeared.
If Yang Zhizhong realized, his expression returned to calm, and the east 'gate' Qing moved in his heart, and he did not restrain the expression of surprise and admiration on his face, and someone came to report that Qinghuaxiang seemed to have moved, Yang Zhizhong smiled slightly and said: "Wu Pingxian is nervous." "So let the East 'Gate' Qing go to pass the order, telling Wu Ping that there was no accident here, and there was no need to act rashly.
After the East Gate Qing came back, Chen Si waved his hand, Linghu Xi gave the order, the signal was issued, and the eighteen warships retreated at the same time, which really came suddenly and went quickly! Yang Zhizhong and Dongmenqing knew in their hearts that Chen Si's pretentiousness was ostensibly to set off fireworks and 'flowers' to please the guests, but in fact he was showing off his strength, and at the same time he wanted to tell "Lin Guoxian": Don't think that you will be safe if you don't enter the port, that's because I don't want to move you, when I really want to move you, you can't run away even if you are outside the port!
After the eighteen warships retreated, the sea surface returned to calm, Yang Zhizhong 'touched' and 'touched' his chin, and said in a loud voice: "Good fireworks 'flowers'!" Good fireworks 'flowers'! Chen Si laughed, Ling Huxi clapped his hands, the music sounded, and the east 'gate' Qing listened carefully to the lyre! The rhyme is also quite good, and it sounds like not only the player is a master, but also the piano is a good piano. secretly shouted in his heart: "Chen Si still has such an elegant taste? "But think about it, he can't even wear clothes, how can he know how to be happy? It was guessed that he had robbed the ship or mansion of a certain gentry, and happened to have this famous piano.
The sound of the piano gradually stopped, and there were flutes, flutes, pipa three kinds of musical instruments sounded, in the music, a "glamorous" pretended to be a "woman" slowly stepped out, the dance steps were slightly sluggish, and the eyes were a little melancholy, so that the fox was happy and angry, and made a look "color", a pirate standing opposite this "woman" slightly "exposed" the blade, and the "woman" opened his mouth to sing, singing the water mill tune that has only risen in recent years! This is the precursor of Kunqu Opera, which belongs to the stage of grass creation and has not yet matured, but because it has just been created, it has a great impact on the times! In this era, this kind of great music that combines the tunes of the north and the south can only be heard in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which are the most culturally familiar in the world!
East 'door' Qing is the head of Quanzhou's *** team, although I have not yet had the opportunity to taste this tune, but the origin and wonder of this tune have long been heard, at this time while listening to guess the origin of this song, can ponder and understand less than three or four percent, and then gradually entered the artistic conception of the lyrics, and forgot that they are in the wolf's den' tiger cave. The 'girl' was reluctant to sing at first, and occasionally her eyes swept to the east 'gate' Qing, and she seemed to see something in his expression and eyes, both a little surprised and a little happy, and the voice of Sakuraguchi was a little more natural and tactful. The listeners sang to each other's induction and encouragement, so that this tune could be enjoyed! After the song stopped, the beauty retreated, but the east 'gate' celebration was still intoxicated.
Although Yang Zhizhong has read a little book, after all, he has been an old fritter who has been 'mingling' in the maritime business circle for decades, and the art of singing and dancing is just a social interaction for him, and he can't really move him anymore, so he only smiled and said, "Good singing and dancing." ”
Chen Si laughed, waved his hand, and all the irrelevant people retreated, leaving only the leader of the village. The East 'Gate' Qing was only a momentary forgetfulness in the art of quyi, and when he saw this situation, he restrained his mind and only listened to Chen Sidao: "Lord Lin Zhai!" I, Chen Si, am not a verbose person! Please come today, this fireworks' song and dance is just a little bit of landlord friendship, 'handover' and 'handover' your friend! If the owner of the village is willing to recognize me as a friend, then I will open the 'door' to see the mountain and talk to the owner of the village about the benefits of Penghu and Shitan! ”
Yang Zhizhong 'touched' his chin and said, "Lord Chen Zhai wants to establish a stable Nanyang trade route? If this is the case, Koo Lao can also help a little. ”
Chen Si snorted and said, "It's not just that! ”
Yang Zhizhong sighed and said, "More than that? ”
Chen Sidao: "I want to cooperate with Guizhai, in the future, from the north of Ning'bo', into Zhejiang, or to Nanzhili, no matter where, as long as Guizhai's ship wants to go, I will do it for Guizhai along the way." From the south of Penghu, it was Guizhai who helped me. In addition, the trade routes on the Japanese side also want to ask the owner of the forest village to help. ”
As soon as Dongmen' Qing heard it, he knew that Chen Si meant to share the trade route with the north and south of Penghu and echo and support each other. Yang Zhizhong smiled and said: "We in Penghu have not planned to enter Beijing and Zhejiang in recent years, and the inland business cannot be done for the time being." Not to mention the business in the south, if we talk about the north, or go to Shuangyu, at most go to Japan, after these two places are familiar, it is enough for us to live. ”
This was said peacefully, but in fact there was a hidden thorn, and the East 'Gate' Qingling Hu Xi heard his voice: The place I want to go to is not your territory, the entrance and exit of the Nanyang Trade Route I control is useful to you, but the territory you control is useless to me.
Chen Si snorted, but he didn't get angry, so he pointed in the direction of Shuangyu and said, "Not bad!" My current power is not as big as that of those people in Shuangyu! But Lord Lin Zhai, isn't it better to pick allies as strong as possible! I've also heard that you're familiar with the people over there in Shuangyu, but you don't read all the novels. (.文. Do you think there's too much power on their side? If Nanao Shangzhai is not dilapidated, then forget it. But now that you have to go to Penghu, will those people in Shuangyu still treat you like before? That Xu Weixue, who is only ten years younger than you, will he still call you godfather? ”
This is said bluntly, if it is really Lin Guoxian here, maybe he will be greatly stabbed and 'excited', at this time, Yang Zhizhong listened to it and only secretly praised Chen Si for having vision and foresight, and he did not 'wave' emotionally in his personal feelings, but the play always had to be played, so he lowered his head slightly and did not speak.
Chen Si thought that he had been touched by himself, so he continued: "Master Lin Zhai, you cooperate with me, echoing the north and south, that is to be a friend, to be a brother, I have to call you an old brother!" But when I get to Shuangyu, I'm afraid I'll give them a hand! With your seniority and prestige, can you stand it? ”
Yang Zhizhong shook his head and said, "Xu Longtou and Brother Wang Xian are not what you think." ”
"Not what I thought it would be?" Chen Si sneered, "How is that? They now occupy half of the East China Sea, but the hearts of the people are insufficient! At the moment, Xu Erwang's straight appetite, there are few people in the East China Sea who don't understand! When he swallows the entire East China Sea, he may not try to plot Penghu and South Australia! But if the lord of Lin Zhai starts to prepare at that time, I am afraid that it will be too late! ”
Yang Zhizhong's face changed slightly when he heard this, Chen Liu was busy playing peace, and said: "Brother, today you and the master of Lin Zhai are meeting for the first time, so it's good that everyone is happy." Business matters, it's better to talk about it later. ”
Chen Sidao: "The specific business can be said slowly in the future." I'm going to point out a clear path for the master of Lin Zhai now! Xu Er, Wang Zhi seems to be loyal and good, but in fact, no one else will be allowed to sit on an equal footing with them! If the owner of the forest village is willing to cooperate with us, the two sides will build up the meritorious work in the future, and we can divide the islands and trade routes along the coast of Daming to the north and south! But when it comes to Xu Er and Wang Zhi, hum! He doesn't need to beg you, Lord Linzhai! When he entered his chamber, the lord of the forest village had to look at his eyes and do things. Aren't we going out of the mainland to the sea just to be happy? What's the point of being detained even if you go to sea? ”
Yang Zhizhong still didn't speak, and the east 'door' Qing leaned over to him, and said: "Uncle, I see that the words of the master of Chen Zhai, 'very' makes sense...... but his hand was secretly pulling the hem of Yang Zhizhong's clothes, Yang Zhizhong understood, and without waiting for him to finish speaking, he reprimanded: "Shut up!" He glanced back at Chen Si and the others, and then said: "Master Chen, after all, you and I are meeting for the first time, and it seems inappropriate to talk about such important matters at this time, so I will think twice." "I looked back at the east 'gate' Qing, and saw that he pursed his lips and 'lips', so he looked up at the moon again, and said: "It's late, don't go back, I'm afraid that the children on the boat will be worried." As he spoke, he got up and said goodbye, saying, "Thank you for the dinner of Lord Chenzhai." ”
Chen Si saw that the others had stood up, and it was not easy to force him to stay, when Chen Liu wanted to send it, Yang Zhizhong smiled and said: "I have been tired of being with the three masters in the past few days, and there is no need to send this waterway." The three masters should also go home, so as not to worry their families. ”
After the two of them left, Chen Liu fidgeted and said to Chen Si: "Brother, will you talk too much tonight?" There are some things that you can talk about later. ”
Chen Si snorted: "Later? Xu Erwang can't tolerate us to grow, if he is still inclined to them, then it is useless to delay for as long as he wants! ”
Ling Huxi said: "I don't think he may be completely unmoved!" In the past, they actually had some meaning of holding hostages while keeping the three masters, but now they don't have to go with the three masters, which is a lot more reassuring to us. In my opinion, this dinner was useful. Now that he went back first, he probably had to discuss with his generals before making a decision. In my opinion, if he sends someone to thank him tomorrow, then there is five or six points of hope for this. If they are very jealous of us and abscond overnight, they are ready to fall to Xu Lao'er and Wang Chen's crazy side, if that is the case, we can't hesitate, we have to be ruthless! ”
They discussed on the boat before they were decided, Qing Huaxiang suddenly drove a small boat, taking advantage of the night 'color' to approach, secretly asked to see Chen Liu, Chen Liu went to Chen Si's acquiescence, and when he came back, he smiled, Chen Si asked who it was, Chen Liu smiled and said: "It's Wang Si's person, Lin Guoxian's nephew." Chen Siqi said: "What did he send people for?" Chen Liudao: "He asked my fourth brother what he liked, and asked me if my fourth brother had any taboos." ”
Chen Si was stunned, and Ling Hu said: "Congratulations to the owner of the village!" This must be Xiaowei's old man who ordered him to ask to see the owner of the village, this person is young and has no bottom in his heart, so he will secretly come to the three masters to inquire about the news, so as not to make mistakes. ”
Chen Liudao: "Yes, yes! It must be so. When he comes tomorrow, we'll entertain him and try to make it happen! ”
Chen Si said: "Be entertained, that's not enough!" Since this man is available, he must be taken captive! Not only do we want him to do his best to promote this matter, but I also want him to be our internal response in Penghu in the future! ”
Chen Liudao: "How did you kidnap him?" ”
Chen Si looked back at Ling Huxi: "What good strategies does the military advisor have?" ”
Ling Huxi frowned, thought about it, and said: "If you want to kidnap a person, don't do what you like and threaten your shortcomings!" ”
Chen Si asked Chen Liu: "When you have been on the boat for a long time, do you know what he is good about, or what 'yin' and 'private' he has?" ”
Chen Liu's face was difficult to 'color', and Ling Huxi hurriedly took over the conversation and said: "How good a young boy is!" When the courtesan came up just now, the fourth king couldn't take his eyes off it, if the owner of the village was willing, it would be better to use this as a 'lure' to lure him into the game! ”
Chen Sidao: "A captive courtesan is not a big deal. But this 'female' person gives it to Xiaowei Lao, forget it, let me send the 'female' person to give him a junior, it's too much of a loss of identity! ”
Linghu said: "It's not a send, it's not a send!" We can do this, and that, and that. If it goes well, not only can he 'force' a few words of truth to find out the true thoughts of the little tail elder, but also can even envelop him from now on, just like the owner of the village said, let this kid be used by us! ”
When Chen Liu heard this, he even called Da Miao, and Chen Si also smiled and said, "Is this a beauty plan?" Okay, go ahead and do it. ”
