Chapter 268: Drama Spirit
Of course, Pi San didn't go alone when he went to the British barracks, but the British sentries just let him in alone, and everyone else had to wait outside.
But after waiting for a long time but not waiting for Pi San to come out, these people began to get anxious and began to clamoring to enter the barracks to look for Pi San, but they were stopped by those British sentries.
The two sides did not understand each other's languages, and soon a conflict ensued.
At this time, a large group of British soldiers rushed out with loaded guns and ammunition, surrounded a group of Pisan's men in the middle, and warned them loudly.
Although Pisan's men couldn't understand it, they could also see that if they continued to make trouble, the British were likely to shoot, so they had to endure their dissatisfaction and leave the British barracks.
Smith wasn't in the mood to think about cutting the grass and eradicating the roots at all, all he was thinking about now was to leave the Zhongzhou Continent as soon as possible, and bring back all the belongings he had looted by the way.
That's why the soldiers were not ordered to shoot, so as not to cause trouble.
After Pi San's subordinates returned angrily, they told the big and small leaders under Pi San's men about the incident, and everyone was excited for a while, and they all shouted to go to the barracks to ask for someone.
Although Pi San is not dealing with Zheng Zhilong, he is very righteous to these people under him, so his subordinates are quite united, which is also an important reason why Zheng Zhilong has not dealt with Pi San.
Pi San's cronies also had several hundred men under his command, and each of them had his own brothers, and in a short time three or four thousand people were gathered, each holding all kinds of weapons, swords, halberds, and even old-fashioned flintlock pistols.
Thousands of people gathered together, looking quite impressive.
As soon as these people walked out of the camp, they ran into Zheng Zhilong and others.
Because of Pi San, these people saw Zheng Zhilong with a somewhat unkind expression, and there was vigilance in their eyes.
"Boss Zheng, what are you doing?" A middle-aged man at the head said loudly.
This person is Pi San's sworn brother Yao Dahai, and he has the best relationship with Pi San, so Pi San is not the person who is in charge of these people.
Zheng Zhilong looked at the formation of these people, and was also slightly surprised, but when he thought about it, he was happy in his heart.
"Yao Dahai, how do you speak? Seeing that the general was so rude, he really deserved to be beaten! Xiong Tie behind Zheng Zhilong said loudly with his eyes wide.
"Hmph, if you have something to say, don't get in our way." Yao Dahai snorted coldly and said impatiently.
"Brothers, I, Zheng Zhilong, can't stand everyone, and I came to make amends today." Zheng Zhilong spoke at this time, and his expression was very sad.
Everyone was stunned, and a bad feeling rose in their hearts, and they all immediately looked at Zheng Zhilong.
Yao Dahai said urgently: "Boss Zheng, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Brothers, I'm sorry for Third Brother Pi. The official army was strong and captured Jianning City, and my old mother and my third brother fell into the hands of the official army. If this revenge is not avenged, it will be in vain as the son of man. I decided to send troops to fight back and fight the officers and soldiers. Brother Pi was generous and offered to contact the British army, and I handed the matter to Brother Pi, also because Brother Pi could speak English. ”
Zheng Zhilong said slowly, his tone was very heavy.
All of this is true, and these people in Pisan know it.
Zheng Zhilong said again: "Everyone must also know that I gave Brother Pi 500,000 taels of silver tickets for him to hand over to the British as a deposit. But who knows, it's because of these 500,000 taels of silver that it hurt Third Brother Pi......"
When Zheng Zhilong said this, his voice was a little choked.
The corners of Zheng Sen's mouth twitched behind him, and he sighed in his heart: Jiang is still old and spicy, if he didn't know the truth, he would definitely be moved by his father's superb acting skills.
If Jiang Chuan was here, he would definitely give Zheng Zhilong an evaluation of "drama essence".
Sure enough, Yao Dahai and the others were moved by Zheng Zhilong's superb acting skills, and there was less vigilance on their faces, but more doubts.
"Boss Zheng, what the hell is going on? Say it quickly! I want to die in a hurry! Yao Dahai was an anxious person, grabbing his hair and asking repeatedly.
"Alas, the specific thing is still up to Sen'er to tell you." Zheng Zhilong sighed, wiped a handful of his eyes, and pushed his son out.
"Young General, what the hell is going on, tell us quickly, what happened to Boss Pi?" Yao Dahai looked at Zheng Sen and hurriedly asked.
Zheng Sen felt awkward in his heart, but he still pretended to be sad and angry on his face and said, "That's the case." I was in the barracks when I saw Boss Pi go to the British General Smith and tell Smith that his father had asked them to join him in attacking the officers.
As a result, this Smith accepted the 500,000 taels of silver tickets, but he was unwilling to send troops, and said that they were going to leave Zhongzhou and it was impossible to fight for us. Boss Pi quit, so he naturally wanted to get back the 500,000 taels of silver tickets, but Smith turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, not only did he not pay it back, but he also wanted people to drive Boss Pi out.
What a heroic character Boss Pi is, of course he won't suffer such a dumb loss. So I fought with those Britons at that time, but two fists were hard to beat with four hands, and the British had guns in their hands, so Boss Pi ......"
When he said this, Zheng Sen stopped and didn't say any more, but everyone knew what was behind.
Sure enough, Yao Dahai and the others were stunned when they heard this, and then the crowd was excited, and they scolded one by one, shouting to avenge Pi San.
These people can follow Pi San, and they are all fierce people, so naturally they will not be afraid of the British just because they have guns. As soon as he heard that his boss was killed by the British, he exploded one by one in an instant, and he was bent on killing the British to avenge the boss.
Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Sen's words are true and false, there are many true and few false, but the fakes are all in key places, and they are also invisible.
It's really the end of the matter as Zheng Sen said, and those who followed Pi San to the barracks can also be used as evidence.
So as soon as Zheng Sen said this, these people naturally believed it.
This is the trick of telling lies, nine points of truth, one lie, and it becomes the truth.
"The British dare to harm Boss Pi, so we will avenge Boss Pi. If you don't take revenge, you swear not to be a man! Yao Dahai's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said word by word.
"If you don't take revenge, you swear not to be a man!" The people behind him also shouted in unison, and the scene looked like a pot of boiling water that was already boiling hot.
"Brothers, calm down! Calm down! Third Brother Pi died, I was also very sad, and I also wanted to avenge Third Brother Pi. But it's a shame for you to go this way. The British have 20,000 men, and they have muskets and artillery, so we are no match at all. ”
Zheng Zhilong stopped in front of the crowd and hurriedly dissuaded him.
"Boss Zheng, what are you talking about. If we're afraid of those ghosts, are we still gentlemen? What about guns and cannons? I can cut off their dogs with a knife in my hand. Boss Zheng, if you don't care about Third Brother Pi's revenge, then don't stop us from taking revenge! Yao Dahai, who was as impatient as fire, stared at Zheng Zhilong and shouted.
"Brothers, I didn't mean that. Third Brother Pi's revenge must be avenged, but we can't go over so directly, otherwise we will be the ones who suffer. I have a plan here, if everyone works together, we will definitely be able to kill these British guys and avenge the third brother Pi. ”
Zheng Zhilong pulled Yao Dahai and whispered something, Yao Dahai thought about it, his expression slowly calmed down, and then he turned to the person behind him: "Boss Zheng is right, we must talk about strategy if we want to avenge Boss Pi." Let's go back first, and we'll go back and discuss what to do. ”
Watching everyone slowly disperse, a hint of pride flashed in Zheng Zhilong's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
