Chapter Twenty-Five: Come out and go it alone
Bai Sha took Li Qiao'er on his boat and arranged a room for the other party to live in peace.
Every crew member has their own job, after Li Qiaoer is taken away, there must always be a crew member to take his place, as for Li Qiaoer, a daughter, Baisha has no suitable things to arrange for her to do for the time being, so she has to let her live first.
Regarding why Li Qiaoer disguised herself as a woman, Bai Sha did not take the initiative to ask, and the other party did not take the initiative to mention it, so he gave up and did not continue to investigate. After settling Li Qiao'er, Bai Sha returned to his house.
Li Qiao'er watched Bai Sha leave, closed the door and sat on the head of the bed, not knowing what she was thinking.
The sun has climbed to its apex, and the sea breeze is hot, and there is no way to avoid it.
Bai Sha ran into the woods to cool off, took out the mutilated treasure map in his arms and looked at it for a long time but didn't see a reason, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, the last supply point found that the cave found crossbow arrows and artillery, this island will not be one of the places to hide treasures, right? As soon as this thought came to him, the more Bai Sha thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and he couldn't help but go into the forest.
The idea was good, but the result was not satisfactory, and after a long search, Baisha returned to the shore with nothing.
"Where have you been? I haven't seen you for a long time. Zheng Zhilong asked after finding Baisha.
Bai Sha spit out the grass in his mouth, and said angrily: "Can you still do it?" Go treasure hunting in the woods. ”
"I think you want to get rich and want to go crazy, even if this island is a treasure map of a treasure map, the treasure inside will not let you find it easily, before you have a complete treasure map, I advise you to die of this heart." Zheng Zhilong poured cold water not once or twice, Bai Sha is used to it.
"As I walked back from the woods, I remembered a family affair, during which time I had traveled on every ship, and I had carefully observed every ship, and there were more powerful crews, both old and new. Can we concentrate our efforts and bring together the best crew? Bai Sha had this thought in his heart.
Zheng Zhilong didn't know what Bai Sha meant, and said: "I don't think there's a problem with this, every ship has a capable crew, isn't it great?" ”
Bai Sha asked tentatively, "Do you know what special forces are?" ”
Zheng Zhilong shook his head blankly.
Bai Sha said another way: "It's similar to the Imperial City Forbidden Army, Jinyi Guards and the like." ”
"What the hell are you trying to say?" The more Zheng Zhilong listened, the more confused he became, and the second monk was confused.
Bai Sha patiently explained: "For example, if other fleets come to the door, what will they do? ”
"Goods." Zheng Zhilong replied subconsciously.
Bai Sha continued: "If other fleets want to grab cargo, they must pass us. We have five ships equipped with artillery to protect our cargo, and if we are defeated by other fleets, the cargo will certainly not be saved. So our five ships can be compared to the soldiers who hold the city, and the rest of the cargo ships are the people in the city. ”
"You're right, but so what?" Zheng Zhilong said.
Bai Sha rolled his eyes, "I usually see you Bing Xue is smart, why did you suddenly become stupid, the sun is shining?" The people in the city are just the people, they don't need to be too strong! You don't understand. ”
Zheng Zhilong is not concerned about the problems of the people, but about the words 'ice and snow smart'.
Looking at Zheng Zhilong's unkind eyes, Bai Sha raised his hand and surrendered.
Zheng Zhilong finally didn't bother with Bai Sha, began to think deeply, and said after a long time: "What you said makes sense. However, on the question of strength and weakness, everyone has a rod and scale in their hearts, and we can't just rely on who we point to is who it is, which will inevitably cause criticism, and if we don't get it right, we will get into trouble. ”
Bai Sha said confidently: "Leave this matter to me, I promise that nothing will go wrong." ”
Just do it when you think about it, and Bai Sha left without waiting for Zheng Zhilong to speak.
Zheng Zhilong stood in place, constantly chewing on the term "special forces", the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it must be implemented.
"When did this guy get such an idea?" Zheng Zhilong said to himself.
The current fleet has a total crew of about 200 people, and Bai Sha has carefully calculated that the cargo ship does not need too many people, as long as it ensures that the ship can sail, there will be no mistakes.
Bai Sha returned to the ship that picked up Li Qiao'er and found the crew Da Biao.
Da Biao saw Baisha, just like a little ghost saw the king of Yama. Thinking that the other party came to the door to look for trouble, he hid and didn't dare to show up, and finally the other crew members carried him over.
Bai Sha glanced at Da Biao and said, "You coward, can I eat you?" ”
Da Biao hurriedly said: "First mate, the small meat is sour, and it is difficult to swallow." ”
"Bah, take it seriously. I have come to you to see that you have a big mouth, and to give you an errand to inform all the crew to assemble on the shore and discuss something. Bai Sha said.
When Da Biao heard this, it turned out that the first mate was not here to find trouble, so he fled after receiving the order.
After arranging for Da Biao to inform the other crew members, Bai Sha found a chair and waited quietly on the beach for everyone to gather.
Zheng Zhilong, who was relieved, found Baisha again and said, "Need to be so fast? ”
"There are unforeseen circumstances, the sooner the better, and being idle is idle anyway." Bai Sha said.
Zheng Zhilong was speechless.
Bai Sha glanced at Zheng Zhilong, who was standing beside him, and said, "Next, I'm going to choose the crew, do you want to be together?" ”
Zheng Zhilong said without hesitation: "Of course, although your idea is good, I am not at ease with you in terms of choosing people." ”
Bai Sha was noncommittal about this statement, but said: "You are also the captain, do you want me to find a chair with you, you stand and I sit, so that I am the captain and you are the first mate, it looks unsightly." ”
"Don't be hypocritical, you won't be able to become a captain if you sit down." Zheng Zhilong still stood upright.
Kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, and Bai Sha is too lazy to care about Zheng Zhilong standing beside him.
If you want to talk about sycophancy, you have to look at Li Qiaoer.
Not far away, seeing Li Qiaoer starting to walk over with a chair, Zheng Zhilong smiled.
"Captain, I heard that you are going to gather the crew, and I will move a chair for you." Li Qiao'er deliberately didn't look at Bai Sha, and after putting the chair away, she stood behind Zheng Zhilong obediently.
Bai Sha glanced at Li Qiao'er, good guy, I don't know when I changed into women's clothes, it looks okay, Bai Sha almost didn't recognize it at first, but standing behind Zheng Zhilong at this time looks like a maid.
Bai Sha said angrily: "Why don't I have this treatment? ”
Li Qiao'er blushed and whispered, "Didn't you sit down......
Bai Sha snorted coldly, pretending to be displeased......
The crew assembled quickly, and it didn't take long for the people to arrive.
Bai Sha stood up and suppressed the discussion of the crew, coughed and said, "Quiet, and then the crew from the same ship will stand in a row." ”
"You stand a little over there, I'm going to stand in the middle!"
"Why? Lao Tzu is going to stand in the middle! ”
……
The crew quickly shoved and shoved, and after a moment of confusion, they were finally in a row.
Bai Sha was about to say the purpose of the gathering when someone behind him tugged at his sleeve.
Li Qiao'er, the girl, left at some point, and now she is back with a plate of fruit. "Captain, first mate, eat some fruit?"
Bai Sha's head was big for a while, and he said angrily: "I don't eat!" "What is the system of talking while eating fruit in this scene?
Zheng Zhilong was not polite, picked up the fruit and took a bite hard......
Bai Sha smoothed his throat again and said, "Gather everyone today and want to say something." ”
The crew didn't know what to announce, but at this time, looking at Li Qiaoer, who had changed into women's clothes, they couldn't be quiet for a while.
It was simply unorganized and undisciplined, and the white sand eyebrows were gloomy.
As soon as the crew saw that something was wrong, they quickly quieted down.
Bai Sha snorted coldly and said straight to the point: "We have to select a group of excellent crews, about six or seven people from each ship, and the selected people will stay on the warship loaded with artillery, and the rest will return to the cargo ship." To be fair, the crew of each ship, if they feel that they are good enough, can take a step forward and see if the crew members who are on the same boat say yes! ”
"First mate, what do you mean by excellent?" A crew member spoke.
Bai Sha explained: "It's who is more able to fight, of course, those with special skills can also be proposed." ”
Zheng Zhilong is like a hands-off shopkeeper, eating fruits, and letting Baisha operate.
The crew exchanged words.
This time the white sands allowed them to talk and give them time to think.
After a while, there was finally movement.
One of the people in the first row stepped forward.
Bai Sha glanced at the other party, and was a little surprised in his heart, and what stood up was an old man, skinny.
Bai Sha kindly reminded: "The crew members who are transferred are going to be on the warship, who are ready to fight, and if they are not careful, they will die." ”
The skinny old man was looked down upon, and he was a little displeased at the moment, and then said arrogantly: "Afraid of death? I wouldn't have been at sea for so many years if I was afraid of death, and I would have gone home to hug my daughter-in-law, so don't look down on people, my ...... Talking about juvenile madness, who is a sheep and who is a wolf? Let's try it again! ”
"Tut-tut, this bad old man can rhyme, but he is not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue when he talks too much, where does he have a daughter-in-law...... "It was none other than the crew Da Biao who spoke."
The crew laughed loudly.
said the truth, the old man's face was flushed, "this, this, this, this ......" was speechless for a long time.
This is the selection of the old man's ship, and it has nothing to do with Da Biao, but this guy is notoriously big-mouthed.
The old man couldn't be angry, and he couldn't say anything, so he was furious at the moment: "I want to fight with Da Biao!" ”
Da Biao sneered again: "Listen, he wants to fight me alone? ”
The crew laughed again, and even Zheng Zhilong couldn't help laughing.
The old man didn't say empty words, he was about to rush towards Da Biao after speaking.
The crew of the first row hurriedly grabbed the old man, if the old man who was carried away really fought with Da Biao, he would not be beaten half to death?
The old man, who was pulled by several crew members in the first row, shouted while breaking free: "I'm going to fight him, I'm going to fight him alone......"
Bai Sha joked about the funny farce in the audience, and said loudly: "Enough." ”
The reluctant old man finally quieted down.
"Da Biao, don't be patronizing and laughing, I said that I was alone with you, why are you stunned?" Bai Sha said.
Da Biao was stunned, but he was honest, and strode in front of the old man.
The old man was stunned and turned to look at Bai Sha.
"First mate, are you really here?"
