Chapter 575: Dispersion Depends on Ability
Zhang Liang, as Zhang Jiao's third brother and the general of Taiping Dao, can be taken for granted that he can take charge of Guhe Island, which also shows how important this transfer island is.
Especially in this black prison, let Zhang Liang come to guard it, which shows that there are amazing characters in it, but Li Mi can't understand these people one by one, and it is impossible for these prisoners to talk to you about their feelings, life, and ideals.
However, this does not prevent Li Mi's next actions, because these people are all favored by Li Mi and the three of them, and more importantly, they have a common enemy, that is Zhang Liang, it is Taiping Dao!
Everyone knows this very well, and Li Mi doesn't need to be verbose, what's more relaxed is that these people are masters, you just need to tell them what they want, and you don't need to teach them how to do it at all!
"I need someone to teach me the Uslav language."
As soon as Li Mi's words came out, there was a lot of ridicule on everyone's faces, after all, who was present had not been in a black prison for ten or eight years, even if he had only seen a Japanese slave for a few days, he should have understood the Japanese slave language for so many years.
However, Li Mi is different, Li Mi is treated specially, and the Japanese slaves don't have a * stream with him at all, even the food ration is the worst of Li Mi, after all, he is "special care" by Zhou Yu.
At the critical moment, the old friend was still reliable, and Zhao Sima said to Li Mi: "I'll teach you this, you know, the disciples I once taught, those are all famous in history." ”
Although it was just a joke, Li Mi was also very warm, and the matter was settled.
Hiding in the black prison is not a long-term solution, Zuo Di took these people and scattered them to various places on Guhe Island, and it was only a night's work, all kinds of weapons, and food, all collected back.
Li Mi knew that these things did not fall out of thin air, their hands must be unclean, and they would even kill people and goods, but this is a pirate island, a place of sin, a place of exile, there are no innocent people on the island, that is, women, children and old people, if they want to live here, they are definitely not innocent, killing and being killed are just expected things, and they have long been mentally prepared.
In the past three years in the black prison, Li Mi has already thought through this question, so he doesn't bother to ask about it.
The prisoners brought back the toughest light armor, the finest swords, the most advanced muskets, and the best food.
Li Mi didn't have any politeness, he recuperated and learned the Japanese slave dialect with peace of mind, this Japanese slave dialect is not very difficult, not to mention that Li Mi has also listened to a lot in the past three years, is familiar with the context, and in a few days, he has mastered the basic daily language.
Because it involves military resources and the like, Zhao Sima also targeted the strengthening of this vocabulary, and both of them are doing their best, so there is no difficulty.
It's just that these days, the Japanese slaves sent to the black prison are constantly being killed, and Zhang Liang should be suspicious when he thinks about it, but he didn't come in person, let alone send a large army to encircle and suppress it, which also makes Li Mi feel very puzzled.
It wasn't until this night that Zuo Di finally brought back the information.
"The reason why Zhang Liang was indifferent a few days ago was because the last batch of ordnance landed from the northern port, and he was busy handing over, so he sent these shrimp soldiers and crabs to do perfunctory work in the future, but because of the unloading, the entire island has been blocked, and he is not afraid of us escaping."
"Now that the ordnance has been sent away, Zhang Liang is about to do it."
Li Mi couldn't help asking: "How many people are under Zhang Liang?" ”
Zuo Di just snorted: "The whole island is his people, how many do you think?" ”
Although Li Mi did not go out, he never let go of any of the news brought back by the prisoners, although this island is not big, but it has a population of tens of thousands, and all kinds of shipwrights and other technical talents, plus samurai and Taiping Dao masters, etc., are also enough to defend the safety of the port.
And the three of them came out of Li Mi's side, and there were only thirty-nine prisoners, although they were all masters, even if they were armed to the teeth, they were afraid that it would not be easy to escape.
What's more, Li Mi doesn't want to run away anymore, he doesn't want to be like Zhou Yu, like a lost dog, being chased and killed everywhere, especially at sea, he may be able to escape the enemy, but he definitely can't escape God.
In this era, seafaring technology was not as advanced as imagined, and if you lost your way or encountered a big storm, it was a dead end.
What he wants to do, like many prisoners, is to kill Zhang Liang, bring down the Taiping Dao, and take revenge!
"It's too obvious for us to be like this, the group will make Zhang Liang a pot, it's better to scatter into the island, fight on their own, let him have no clue, just everyone is in danger, he will inevitably send everyone to arrest him, the nest will be empty, we will have a chance!"
Everyone is an old and spicy person, Li Mi just mentioned this, everyone understands it, as for hiding in the market, especially in such a sinful place, it is not a problem for them at all!
Zuo Di and Zhao Sima didn't say much, and everyone distributed blades, armor, and a lot of coins, and then dispersed.
In addition, there are many foreign silver coins and gold coins, some gold and silver jewelry can be used, and the cheapest price is the shoddy iron money made in Japan.
Li Mi is also used to it, the weapons are picked and picked at will, so he also followed his habits and picked a knife similar to the Qi family knife, but it is much shorter than the knife, and there is a word like General Tang on the handle, which is actually a Tang knife!
Of course, Li Mi didn't know much about this kind of antique, so he glanced at Zhao Sima, and the latter concluded that it was a fake, and according to the shape of Tang Hengdao, a fake was created, but it used folding forging and steel-clad technology, which was more sophisticated than the ordinary*, and it could be regarded as a treasure.
In addition to this horizontal knife, Li Mi took a short knife, prepared a dagger, and inserted it in the boots, but unfortunately there was no short gun, Li Mi could only pick a flintlock spear, sawed short before and after, for fear of exploding, and put a few layers on the barrel, which was used as a short gun.
After making preparations, everyone set a fire and burned the black prison, and then took advantage of the night to disperse to various parts of the island.
Even though this is a lawless place, where the sailors and sailors party all night long, and the evenings are a good time to drink and play with women, the fire in the black prison still attracts many people, after all, the island is not big in the first place.
It was also a loss of attention that attracted attention, and it was easier for everyone to disperse everywhere, and Li Mi returned to the black prison after a short time, pretending to be an eventful spectator, but he had a strong smell of alcohol on him.
He looked around, and soon found Zuo Di and Zhao Sima, and then those familiar prisoners, it turned out that everyone's thoughts were the same!
Because we all know that the most dangerous place is the safest place!
When the black prison catches fire and no one survives, it must be the prisoner who escaped, and the prisoner after the escape must run for his life and never stay in place, this is what ordinary people think.
It was precisely because of this psychology that many of the brothers scattered all over the island, disguised themselves, and then followed the crowd and returned to this place, so that they could be considered to be integrated into the crowd!
In this lawless place, it is stupid to go out without carrying a blade, that is, when playing with women, they are all knives without leaving their bodies, not to mention going to the black prison to watch the excitement.
Zhang Liang's people soon came over with the escort, but they didn't bother to put out the fire when they saw this scene.
The guards are Zhang Liang's people, but the clothing and armor are not uniform, but they have a red scarf on their heads and a tattoo on their necks to distinguish them.
After all, watching the excitement is just a freshness, this fire has been burning, and it is also boring, and the spectators quickly dispersed and went their own way.
Li Mi left with the crowd, the entertainment on the island is nothing more than drinking, gambling, fighting, and women, if you want to integrate into this island, you can't be alone, it's too dazzling.
Li Mi followed him to the market town in the center of the island, just near the pier, the air was full of sea smell, although the feet were hard sandy and alkaline, but everywhere there was blood and vomit, as well as discarded household garbage and human and animal feces, it was really difficult to get down.
However, Li Mi almost ate rats in the black prison, so he didn't feel much of this level of filth.
Walking to the bright place in front of you, you can see that the taverns are brightly lit, full of unbridled laughter and scolding, men and women, and the air is filled with a primitive wildness, as if far from civilization.
Li Mi picked a decent tavern, strode in, and after opening the door, the store suddenly fell silent, everyone looked at him, but it was only a short moment, and everyone returned to normal.
Maybe this is just a human instinctive reaction, but Li Mi's perception is too keen, so it is an illusion.
A heavily armed person like Li Mi is not easy to mess with, not to mention that Li Mi's eyes are too cold, and anyone who licks blood with a knife all year round can sense it.
The shopkeeper is a tall woman, about early thirties, dressed very vulgarly, but also very exposed, but from time to time there is a ruthlessness between her eyebrows, and she doesn't need to think too much, how can someone who can gain a foothold here be good to get along with.
Li Mi walked to the front of the counter, took out a piece of silver, gently placed it on the counter, and said to the woman, "Take a bath." ”
The woman picked up the silver and shook it, and then looked at the color and shape of the silver, and the corners of her mouth could not help but smile.
The prisoner brothers are cautious, these possessions are all looted, and if they want to spend it, they must be recognized, so whether it is gold or silver, they have been beaten, and they will not keep their original appearance.
There are often murders and goods on this island, and this method is not unusual, and there is nothing unusual.
However, the woman said, "Guest, this is a bit unusual. ”
Li Mi suddenly frowned a little, because in Li Mi's opinion, there was really nothing strange about this.
Seeing that Li Mi didn't speak, the woman continued: "My small shop sells wine and meat, even if I have been adrift at sea for three or five months, and I am reluctant to take the silver out to take a bath. ”
The woman's voice became louder, the voices of the customers in the store gradually disappeared, and everyone stared at Li Mi as if they were staring at a foreign enemy!
It's not that they have any sense of unity to protect this island from being bullied by outsiders, it's that they know that it is impossible to win against Li Mi alone, but if someone takes the lead, they can attack it in groups and divide Li Mi!
Li Mi didn't bother to pay attention to it, and said to the woman: "Anyway, it's all business, some people pay to sell wine, some people pay to eat, some people pay to play with women, naturally some people will pay for bathing, but I see that the proprietress has a little rough hands, and it is estimated that it will not be too comfortable to rub the bath, it seems that it is better to change places." ”
As soon as Li Mi said this, everyone suddenly realized that this person liked the tone of the mandarin duck bath, which was not unusual.
However, Li Mi offended this boss lady, even if she is an old woman, she is most afraid of others talking about her shortcomings, although offending people is not a rare thing, but it is also very troublesome.
"The rules of our store, you will take off your armor and remove your knife when you enter the door!"
The proprietress was really.
