Chapter 330. Mao Daguanren
More than a dozen ropes were stiffly strained, and in the creaking sound, huge stones several meters high were erected in the shouts of hundreds of widows.
"The queen of heaven is on top! Today, I, Zheng Zhilong, swear here! The kindness owed to the master of Dongjiang Mao will be repaid in full! If there is any disobedience, the sea god will abandon me into the whirlpool abyss! Brother betrays me in centrifugation! Heaven and earth will be destroyed, and there will be no good death!"
Jin Cancan's inscription is written in a dignified book, a certain year, a certain month, a certain day, Dongjiang Mao Gong's righteousness, the righteous interpretation of a number of heroes of the Haijiang River, Zheng's inscription is five, he will repay Yunyun one day! Of course, the specific amount of silver is still written in a private contract, and if it is really recorded on the inscription, it will be too philistine, not only Zheng Zhilong can't afford to lose that face, but even Mao Jue himself can't afford to lose this face.
After the oath mixed with the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes was made, just like the oath of the ancient princes and kings, Zheng Zhilong threw the oath into the fire with the jade, and poured the ashes of the brazier into the pit.
However, this is not over, Zheng Zhilong has more than 40,000 horses, but not all of them belong to his Zheng family, the Zheng family is more like a pirate alliance, Zheng Zhilong is the leader of the alliance, and the eighteen Zhi's subordinates also have their own people, just like Liu Xiang and Xu Xinsu, the former eighteen Zhi, who were also destroyed against Zheng Zhilong, and there are still a number of pirates and sea merchants below, and the Zheng family army that was put together together.
In fact, not only Zheng Zhilong, but also a generation in the feudal era, a group of leading elder brothers with a large group of younger brothers rebelled against the world, once the counterattack was successful, the leading eldest brother who became the emperor tried his best to cut the domain, and it was the power in the hands of these younger brothers that was cut.
Zheng Zhilong finished taking the oath, and those lower-level forces, the major leaders also pulled out knives together, cut their fingers and dripped them into the ground, and immediately knelt on the ground and muttered.
What a divine punishment! It is the hearts of people who really control the world! Even if Zheng Zhilong still has such an official body, he still acts according to the reckless rules of the rivers and lakes, and he also pays attention to a promise in the recklessness.
This time, Mao Jue didn't care about their previous offenses, and generously released them first, and then let them take the ransom, which is called benevolence and righteousness! But if he returns to Fujian, Zheng Zhilong turns his face and denies it, which is equivalent to losing everyone's faith! In the future, Fujian Lvlin Road will have no face to eat this mouthful of rivers and lakes, and the faith is gone, who will follow such a big brother.
Even if Zheng Zhilong is not angry in his heart, he will make a comeback in the future, and he still has to pay off the debt he owes Mao Jue today! Otherwise, everyone will disperse in a hurry, and there will be no place for his Zheng family to stand in the future.
This is also a double insurance, the contract spirit of the ancients in this era Mao Jue is still very admired, take the Jin merchants as an example, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the Jin merchants who did the ticket number went bankrupt, but to what extent did they adhere to the spirit of the contract, not to mention that the debt was not bad for a lifetime, the father died and the son repaid, the son died and the grandson returned, and some repaid for decades or even hundreds of years, and the debts had to be paid off.
Mao Jue also counted, and when Zheng Zhilong's oath was finished, he didn't ask him for any mortgage, that is, the person was released, the boat you drove away, and even he led his subordinates to see off in person at the port, not to mention, this mind is not only a good man on the green forest road in Fujian, even Zheng Zhilong is admired, and re-boarded the big treasure ship, and behind him stood the Nidanique priest female escort Zheng Zhilong is distant fist and said goodbye.
"Zheng said goodbye to Mao's officials, he was free to come to Fujian in person, and Zheng Mou decided to worship the Quartet banquet and serve wine to make amends!"
"Zheng Da is polite, the green mountains do not change, the green water flows for a long time, I wish the big master a good journey, smooth sailing! Say goodbye!"
"Say goodbye!"
The battle has reached this point, friends on both sides waved goodbye like that, just like the knight described, even if it is the Ming Dynasty that follows the ancient rites, this scene is rare, this time Mao Jue is simply fame and fortune, in addition to Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Cai, Shi Daxuan three unlucky eggs who suffered from the "shaving machine" of the Japanese country, the rest of the pirates or small maritime merchants, looking at Mao Jue's eyes are admiration, just like step by step in the Japanese country to arrange the prestige, he Mao Jue people can not go to the South China Sea of Fujian, but the reputation has been raised, and the Dongjiang River will sail in the South China Sea in the futureThe benefits of today's fame will be immeasurable!
But his mouth is crooked, Mao Jue is still a passing god of wealth for the time being, and he is still empty-handed, and he has to pay his own money to pad it first, and he smiled at the sea for a long time, Mao Jue, who had a sour smile, can be regarded as the hand that closed his chin, and suddenly changed his face, and then slapped the fan at Adriana's brain.
"Stop laughing! Call it a day! Go collect the next debt!"
"Humph!"
Secretary Yang rolled his eyes, and was asked to follow Kong Youde, who was forced to laugh, Wen Meng and other more than a dozen Dongjiang generals also closed their chins, patted their butts and scattered to finish work, should they go to drink and drink, what should they do.
…………
Although Zheng Zhilong owed Mao Jue five million taels of war indemnities had to wait for him to return to Fujian and send it by express mail, there was still a benefit in front of him, and it was a benefit that silver could not buy.
Person!
To be more precise, the pirates who have rich navigation skills and have been running the South China Sea for many years! Three days ago, Mao Jue and Zheng Zhilong negotiated, he deliberately used words to trap Zheng Zhilong, this old guy was really fooled, people have relatives, more than 21,600 captured Zheng Jun pirates, he only ransomed 9,000 Zheng family's core subordinates and the rest of the sea merchants who are relatively close to the force, and the remaining more than 12,000 peripheral forces, small sea merchants, and the pirate ship owners who jumped alone were all abandoned.
The southern ship and the northern horse are not just talking, indeed, Mao Jue's fleet is now quite clueless, but the farthest he also sailed to the south of the Yangtze River near the sea, and the Li family and North Korea are all under the nose, which is not too far. You must know that offshore and ocean-going are simply two different concepts! This is why pioneers such navigators as Magellan and Columbus are so admirable.
To tell the truth, the Zheng family's pirates' ocean-going ability is actually not much stronger, crossing the Pacific Ocean and sailing to Europe, they can't do this, but they have traveled throughout Southeast Asia, the farthest has even been to the Red Sea, naval battles and manipulation warships, the Zheng family pirates are more experienced than the Dongjiang sailors, the only thing to lose is that the Dongjiang is an army, and the Zheng army is a pirate alliance, and they can't cooperate, this army that was discarded by Zheng Zhilong like scum is real gold for Mao Jue.
But to put this gold in your pocket, you need to make a difference.
…………
At this time, the heads of these pirates in the port of Iki Island are over, and it is the breath of the end of the world.
The brothers and sisters who followed him to the prison carried their luggage home, but they still had to squat in the cold warehouse, especially the inscription of Zheng Zhilong's oath, the crackling of firecrackers in the port, watching others slap their butts and leave, and they stayed here to sit on the cold bench, the feeling of being abandoned can be imagined.
What made them even more unsettling was that from the beginning of the afternoon, the number of Dongjiang troops near the prisoner of war camp suddenly increased several times.
Everyone is begging for a living on the rivers and lakes, and many people have done it with kidnapping tickets, since they refuse to pay the ransom, everyone knows what will happen to the meat tickets, and most of them have been torn up!
Death is sometimes not terrible, the most terrible thing is the torment before death, more and more gloomy, dark weather, dense Japanese warrior gun array and Dongjiang bayonet group, every minute and every second is unbearable torment for these abandoned pirates, some unwilling to die began to sneak together, there are also mental weakness collapsed, sitting on the ground and crying loudly, life is all kinds of unrevealed.
Although it is very vulgar, I have to say that there is a kind of person who has been invincible since ancient times, endless, and can bring great benefits to people, that is, childcare!
"My lord, spare your life! There are old and young people who are small, and there is a large family to support, please, don't kill me!"
On the eve of a depressing storm like a storm, leaning on the iron railing at the entrance of the prisoner of war camp, a guy with a long head suddenly pounced out, kneeling on the ground and holding the thighs of the Dongjiang Army patrolling at the door, crying.
But this drama is too fake, not to mention the thunder and rain, the eye circles are not red or red, and Mao Jue, who was waiting for the appearance next to him, helplessly stroked his hand on his head.
Who knows, this pirate on Zhoushan Island is quite dedicated, and the first-class Dongjiang guard who patted his chest and guaranteed to sing a big drama is really like a big opera, babbling and shaking his head three times, throwing his head like Guo Degang in "Yueguang Treasure Box", and he sang with a long voice.
"Phew! Who said they were going to kill you, whoa, what nonsense!"
Fancy is fancy, not to mention, as soon as the two sang and harmonized, the nearby Zheng Jun prisoners were like flies that saw carrion, and they were attracted by astonishment one by one.
Looking at this god of jumping, even the Zhoushan pirate who was arranged to be entrusted was a little dumbfounded, stunned for a long time, and then remembered the lines, hurriedly howled again, and pointed to the densely surrounded Dongjiang army outside and cried again.
"It's not to kill us, what are so many military masters gathered outside, aren't you going to tear up the ticket?"
is really in the play, in the eyes of those Zheng Jun pirates who are dumbfounded, Dongjiang "special actors" are hand-made beards, and they really suspect that his hometown of Hebei sings the melody of Jingdong drums.
"Oh, what you said, these soldiers, whoa, a
A group of pirates almost died of anger, who doesn't care why so many Dongjiang soldiers come here with knives and guns? But in order to adjust the appetite, this product is endless, and the neck is still stretched and contracted, but I have to admit that Dongjiang's training is really good, this product is full of lung capacity, and his face is red for more than a minute, and it hasn't been finished yet.
Even Song Xiance couldn't stand it, this thing had to come out in advance, and came out of the hidden tank, with a thick face as he was smiling, smiling and waving his hands and walking quickly to the door.
"Don't panic, don't panic, this ......, this is my family master who is afraid that everyone will be nervous, so he sent it to enliven and enliven the atmosphere for everyone!"
"Hey, Lord Song, the small lines haven't been finished yet, woo...... Woohoo......"
One covered his mouth, two carried his arms, and three pro-soldiers were holding the "Jingdong Drum", which can be regarded as being set up. Looking back, Song Xiance couldn't help but secretly wipe his sweat, and then he raised his hands enthusiastically and pressed down.
"Everyone, don't be impatient!"
"My general has decided to release all of you, and each of you will be given ten taels of silver for the journey, and these soldiers who have been placed are also to maintain order, don't rob them like crazy!"
! Life is gone, who dares to rob it like crazy? If you want to make people grateful to the extreme, you have to make him desperate to the extreme, these soldiers are purely taken out by Mao Jue to scare people, but the effect is set, relying on one or two thousand pirates nearby is simply stunned, one by one standing there dumbfounded, and the people behind are not hearing clearly, anxiously inquiring forward.
That's probably what it feels like to survive death.
However, there is no shortage of-stirring sticks anywhere! In the crowd, someone immediately shouted.
"Don't be fooled, everyone! Where is this good thing! This surnamed Mao clearly wants to deceive us to be vigilant, and then push them out one by one to kill them, that's what is said in the play!"
"Don't be fooled, everyone!"
Not to mention, these guys are really destructive, fortunately, Mao Jue was prepared, and he had pulled the "thoughtful" captives out to "remember the bittersweet ones", there were hundreds of nurseries alone, and let a few rat feces stir up inside, and those nurseries outside were dutifully moving forward, and they knelt on the ground with gratitude, hugging Song Xiance's thighs.
"The parents of the one who gave birth to me, and the one who recreated me, Lord Mao!"
"Little thank you, Lord Mao, for being generous!"
Almost not lifted up, Song Xiance waved his hand there again and again, with a big face smiling like honey, and shouted helplessly.
"They are all kind-hearted, everyone line up and receive silver!"
"Long live the hair dragon!"
With a cheer, the mighty army of captives rushed out, and only a few-stirring sticks were left in their place, and the skeptics watched with slap eyes, and then they were blinded by a large number of Dongjiang troops outside the fence.
Kill you, a few salvos are enough, and you still need to make such a big move?
…………
In "Water Margin", why is the little whirlwind Chai Jinchai and the big official so popular, it all depends on four words, righteousness and wealth! Take in wanted criminals, provide them with food and drink, and help the suffering and the poor like a living bodhisattva. This Mao Jue is also a big official, this didn't kill them, don't say it, there is still silver to get the travel expenses, the queue is over, and some pirates still don't believe it.
At this time, the nursery was more effective, and this one was holding the silver, and the other was already shouting indignantly.
"I'll wait all the way to follow the dragon, phew! Zheng Zhilong, that leper who forgets eight things and has no humanity, came to fight in this country, not only did he not have any money to pay for water, but this bastard also abandoned us like a shoe, and left us here to fend for himself like throwing garbage, why did Lao Tzu go back to Fujian to see his bastard face and give him his life!"
"That is, brothers, Mao Longtou is the real hero, the leading brother of righteousness! We offended him, and instead of disregarding his previous suspicions, he released us and gave us such kindness as travel expenses! How can I not report it? I, Zheng Batou, will sell my life to General Mao! ”
Half of these words are lines, and they are generally from the heart, and no one wants to be abandoned! Infected by this indignant shout, there were really thousands of Zheng family pirates who knelt down and kowtowed to Song Xiance to take them in.
In addition to those bachelors and poor men who are full of food and the whole family is not hungry, there are also some small boat owners and small cargo owners, etc., there are industries in Fujian, even if they can't sell themselves to take refuge, they are also grateful on the side, and some people even shout that they want to move the industry to the north and take refuge under the command of Mao Longtou!
These shouts, Mao Jue, who is hidden behind him, is simply full of joy!
If Mao Jue let go of Zheng Zhilong and others on behalf of the superstructure on the sea surface of Fujian, these people are the bottom of the food chain at sea to make a living, don't look at them humble, lowly like mud, but the scope represented is the widest, those old sailors who travel the sea all the year round do not say, these small boat owners, cargo owners, for a later concept, that is the grassroots dealers.
Commercial oligarchs like Zheng Zhilong and Shi Daxuan, there is really no shortage in Dongjiang, what is lacking is a first-class dealer like these small boat owners who can open their way in various cities and counties, and the developed industry and commerce in Jiangnan are also supported by such people.
But the mouth was almost unhappy, the scene had to be done, raising his hands high, Mao Jue finally made his debut, and pressed down his hands again and again.
"Everyone is a wise man! We are rough men who fight with Jiannu outside the gate, and they can best understand the suffering of the Ming people, you don't have to be afraid of me, I Mao Jue is full of words, and I will let you go!"
"When you enter my Dongjiang, you have to abide by the rules of my Dongjiang! Everyone can think about it, and it will not be difficult to leave!"
After a while, Mao Jue must give these nurseries more money, what a job! He was still there with a vague head of persuasion, and the nurses had already taken the lead, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing all over the place.
"Xie Mao's official takes it in!"
"The big official will be the little master in the future, and the little one will kowtow to you!"
I couldn't help but laugh out loud, this tens of thousands of pirates in the South China Sea had fallen into his Mao Jueyan!
