Chapter 217 Killing
"Sir, you don't need to say much...... King Zhao pale face, raised his palm and said, "How about the second strategy to kill?" ”
"Xu Zixian has been back for several days, and he has not been to Qizhou to take office, and he is tossing the matter of relocating the displaced people to the Eastern Domain, I heard that Chen Dujing and Xu Zixian want to join forces to reclaim cotton fields in the Eastern Domain, it can be seen that their minds are used in the cotton fields of the Eastern Domain, they have money and food, and they still raise soldiers, just to fight against the king, how can they really kill Chen Yutai? Xu Zixian has always claimed to kill pirates before, let's call a few newspapers to publish articles continuously, mention Xu Zixian's past achievements, as well as the bold words he has said, and create public opinion, it is best to mention Xu Yingbin's affairs back then, public opinion together, it is difficult to suppress it, he wants to take office in a low-key manner, and Chen Yutai can't afford to fight, I'm afraid it's also difficult......"
"This trick ......" King Zhao hesitated a little, Li Gu's idea was right, use public opinion to lift Xu Zixian up, he has not moved for a long time, and then question it with public opinion, the prestige that Xu Zixian has already raised will be quite a heavy suppression.
If Xu Zi goes to the trap first, it is also a good thing, for the sake of fame and reputation, then he can only die with Chen Yutai to the end, how can Chen Yutai get along? The combat power of two thousand Qishan bandits is by no means inferior to the forbidden army of an army, the important thing is the terrain, attacking from the sea to attack the garrisoned beach, from the Qishan side of the terrain is too steep, Xu Yingbin is planted in the geographical environment, ambushed by the Qishan bandits, a large number of soldiers were damaged, and was held accountable by the imperial court afterwards, making it quite embarrassing.
"Chen Yutai has been very honest lately." King Zhao groaned: "His brother was killed by Xu Zixian, and he endured it, is it an exaggeration?" ”
"Your Highness," Li Gu said: "Chen Yutai has been crisscrossing Fujian Road for nearly 20 years, and he is not elite, and his subordinates are brave and difficult. Heqiao's defeat was because Xu Zixian beat him with a stick, which was not a crime of war. At this time, Qishan thieves can't come out, and there is still Wang Zhi who wants to recruit An, and each family has negotiated to restrain his subordinates not to act rashly. Now that Wang Zhi has been appointed as an envoy, I estimate that even if Xu Zi doesn't go to Chen Yutai first, Chen Yutai will not let him go...... It's just that the Nan'an regiment practiced well, and he didn't move, Chen Yutai considered that the loss was too big, and he wouldn't go to Nan'an for a while, if Xu Zi rashly went to attack Qi Cottage first, it would be his own death. ”
King Zhao muttered: "He doesn't want to move, so he arches him to move?" ”
"Yes." Li Gu had an expression of Zhizhu in his hand and said, "This is to roast him on the fire!" ”
"Okay, that's a good idea." Zhao Wang said: "Buy one or two main writers, and then question it, why did Xu Zi return to Fuzhou first, but he didn't take over the post for a long time, what does it mean, is it because he is afraid of Chen Yutai?" ”
Li Gu felt that King Zhao was in a bit of a hurry, but he still smiled and agreed.
……
The tall Huang Laifu stood on the big sentry boat with a single sail, his body undulating with the waves.
Because there were too many people on the sentry boat, the hull of the ship was pressed very low, the waves surged, the water splashed constantly, and the water often poured into the hull, and when it reached the middle of the river, the hull had already entered the water that had not reached the upper of the shoe.
Some people are a little dissatisfied, or a little panicked, but old sailors like Huang Laifu know that this is nothing, at sea they will also drive this kind of fishing boat the size of a sentinel boat to fish, a wave comes, the hull of the whole overturned is also a common thing, it doesn't matter, everyone swims in the sea, and the boat is pushed back again.
Once, Huang Laifu and a few people set up a dhow boat, went to the sea from Quanzhou Port, went straight to Penghu, and then went to the Eastern Domain, and used some farm tools, swords, and silver jewelry to exchange a lot of sand gold for the natives, and that time it was a small fortune.
It's just that this kind of thing is too risky, not to mention that the transfer envoy of the Great Wei side will strictly investigate this kind of smuggling trade, that is, the wind and waves at sea, no matter how good the water is, no matter how experienced the veteran, he will be buried in the sea if he is not careful, and feed a body of meat to the belly of the fish.
Huang Laifu is over 30 years old, and it is not easy to make a living on the rivers and lakes, and his younger brother Huang Laigui has written a letter to Shao Wujun in the past two days, talking about the Nan'an regimental training, and asking his brother to come to Nan'an quickly.
Huang Laigui didn't ask Huang Laifu to be a soldier, and the treatment of a soldier is not bad, but for an old sailor like Huang Laifu, the first can't stand that kind of constraints, and the second is that when he is older, his physical fitness is declining, and he must be a little difficult to train. Third, Huang Laifu is a veteran sailor, not only sailing and doing business in the coastal waters of Fuzhou, fishing in Penghu and the Eastern Domain, buying sand gold, but also going to the South Seas with a big ship, and going to the Wa Kingdom, Siam, Chenla, Srivijaya, Manchu Jia, which can be regarded as running all over the coastal trade circle.
This was also the norm for sailors in Fuzhou at that time, and even the norm for the entire Fujian Road.
Immigrants from Nanyang countries are either Cantonese or Fujianese, except for these two places, there are very few outsiders, but also because Guangdong and Fujian have developed foreign trade, and Fujian has many mountains and few fields, and has a large population.
Now the countries of Nanyang, Srivijaya and Lan Fang are the countries founded by the Han people, and there are millions of Han people in the whole Nanyang, in addition to the Nanyang countries, Myanmar, Siam and other countries also have many Han people, accounting for about 20% to 30% of the total population of the country.
Fujian people are not afraid to go to sea, and even happy to go to sea, if Huang Laifu has a way out, I am afraid that he will not return overseas, but he is rough by nature, not good at communicating, empty of a good ability but no one appreciates, several round trips have not left any money, and there are no connections to settle overseas, so he can only return to Fujian.
This time, the brother set up in Nan'an, and immediately wrote a letter saying that Nan'an was in Daxing Water Camp and needed a large number of experienced old sailors...... Huang Laiyong did not leave immediately after receiving the letter, but inquired with many people, Nan'an Hou is indeed kind-hearted, and the treatment of Nan'an soldiers is quite good.
Huang Laiyong is more interested in the nursing home, the Huang brothers are away all the year round, the father and mother are over sixty years old, and it is not a matter for no one to take care of them, this kind of thing is very common in ordinary people...... Fujian and Guangxi are patriarchal, of course, the whole Great Wei is the same, but Fujian has a unique custom of drowning female infants, and it is quite common, which makes there are more men and fewer women, there is no male to support the door, cut off the incense, and there is no status in the clan, and they are bullied, but the men are born and can't ask for a daughter-in-law, there are also a lot of people, and it makes ordinary people jump in a hurry.
This situation can be regarded as self-inflicted, but Huang Laiyong can't imagine so much, he thinks that if the two brothers can settle down in Nan'an, no matter how high the income is, they can take their father and mother to live in Nan'an, and someone will take care of them, so that they can rest assured that they can work hard outside.
The hull of the ship shook, and the small sentinel boat finally docked, and the man holding the boat breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone be careful, jump off the boat and go ashore by yourself, don't slip and fall." ”
Huang Laiyong glanced at the ship boss with disdain, this level is in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, don't want to beg for sea food.
The boat was very unstable on the river, and the shore was not good, and there were some dry beaches to stop, but the man stopped the boat in a slippery place.
Some small merchants cautiously jumped ashore with their goods, and a woman with a child in her arms wanted to go down but didn't dare, and wanted to cry anxiously.
Huang Laiyong told the woman, took the child in his arms, and jumped ashore.
The crowd cheered, and the woman went ashore and bowed herself in thanks.
"My man was a group training in Nan'an, and I found a house a month ago and asked my mother and son to come and settle down," the woman thanked her: "Look at the appearance of the eldest brother, why don't you also come to be a soldier, if so, ask my man to set up a wine and thank the eldest brother." ”
"You're welcome." Huang Laiyong knew that many people came from the other side, all of whom were the families of the old soldiers, and before that, there were more than 1,600 soldiers, half of whom were people from the towns of Shuikou in Nan'an, and half of them were displaced people recruited from the other side, all of whom lived in the area of Shao Wujun.
"Nan Anhou is really a good man." A small businessman said sincerely: "This lady must have suffered a lot before, and now she can settle down in Nan'an, which is considered to be a bittersweet end." ”
The clothes worn by the homeless woman were quite tattered, and everyone saw them, and when they heard the words of the little merchant, they all nodded yes.
"I read the nearest newspaper." A scholar wiped the mud from his boots and said loudly: "The misery of the displaced people is mainly caused by pirates, and now people say that Nan'an Hou should go to exterminate Chen Yutai as soon as possible, but he sits in Nan'an without moving, sitting and watching Chen Yutai wreak havoc, what is the reason?" ”
"Fuck you!" The man who supported the small sentry boat, as well as a few pulppers, were likely to join the Nan'an regimental training and become a part of the officers and soldiers of the water battalion. Fight with a knife on the go, damn it, I hate these sour things the most, I don't understand bullshit, I know it's nonsense. ”
"The battle of Jiangtan," the scholar said with a stiff neck: "Nan'anhou did not defeat thousands of bandits in a battle, Chen Yutai only had 2,000 people. ”
"That's not right." The little merchant looked displeased and said: "You are also a scholar and a courtesy, think about what is the main army, what is the guest army, and Chen Yutai's subordinates, who can be compared to those rabble?" ”
"And the location." Huang Laifu couldn't help but say: "The Qishan pirates are in the mouth of Qizhou, the beach is heavily guarded, and there is a fleet, the water camp here has not yet opened, and from the Qishan side, they are all mountain roads, the army is inconvenient, there is no careful planning, the geography is unfavorable, and even if you don't take office, you can destroy the Qishan bandits?" You, a scholar, say that you look up to Nan Anhou, or are you embarrassed and criticized? ”
At this time, the scholar was completely dumbfounded, and he also saw some heart-wrenching arguments in the newspaper, why Nan Anhou didn't want to come out and fight bloodily, lose his strength, Xu Zixian had already achieved fame, and he would not fight hard with Chen Yutai again.
Some readers are born with a penchant for conspiracy theories, and always feel that there are no good people in the world except for their peers. The clan sits and rentiers and ignores the lives of the people, how can there be any good people? Xu Zixian's previous arrangement was just for his own fame and wealth, and now that the official position and title are all in hand, how can Xu Zixian still have the motivation to work hard with Chen Yutai?
