This kind of errand on the sea, life and death are not up to you, you may not be accepted by the Sea Dragon King at any time, and the money earned will be spent immediately to enjoy this pleasure.

In Anping, Fujian, Zheng Zhilong's own mansion is magnificent, but the construction below is very poor, and the people below have no place to spend money, and this Fengmeng Town in Shandong is just right to their appetite.

No matter how much money you make, after you get off the boat, you will gamble in the town, and there will be no penny left.

In the gambling house and Qinglou opened by this Zhang butcher, there are such characters everywhere, some are the Zheng family, and some are maritime merchants from other places, all of whom are profligate.

The bow of the Zheng family pointed by Zhang Butcher, I don't know whether I should say that I am lucky or unlucky today, I lose all my money in the gambling house on weekdays, but today I killed all sides, won a sum of silver, and walked out of the gambling house satisfied.

With the silver in his hand, he pondered how to spend the money next, and walked happily on the street, which was already early in the morning, although many of the shops were brightly lit and laughing, but the people on the street were already sparse, and there was no one to see.

There are also a few carts pulling firewood and grass passing by, I don't know if they are to send firewood for the next day to the restaurant, and the firewood and grass on the car seem to be a small mountain.

The bow of the Zheng family took this pocket, which was full of silver taels that had been won, and these carts of firewood and grass passed sideways, if someone stared at the bow of the Zheng family, there would be a very strange thing, when he passed by the cart of firewood and grass, he never came out from the other side.

The firewood and grass piles on the cart were so high that even if they were stuffed with something, they couldn't even see it.

"You're blind!! Dare to do it in Fengmeng Town, you dogs, you are not afraid that Li Erlang will destroy your nine clans!! ”

The bow of the Zheng family was trapped in an iron chair. He had a hood over his head, and he had no idea what was going on outside. I only knew that I had been knocked unconscious, and when I woke up, I was in this place, and I vaguely heard the sound of waves around me, but it was in the city.

People walked around. But I don't know who will go again. This state of blindness frightened him even more. He dared to take such a bag of silver. Swaggering to walk in the middle of the night. It is because there is Li Menglai in Fengmeng Town to ensure absolute safety. I thought it was fine. Who would have thought of this but met this.

Zheng Jiadi's bow is also a ship, and the boss is also a pirate. It's also considered an outlaw. Encounter such a situation. The first response was not to beg for mercy. Instead, shouting and threatening.

Who thought of himself before he shouted out. A basin of water was poured over there. The water was hot. But not so much as to hurt anyone. It is extremely uncomfortable to pour it on the body. The clamor at the bow of the ship suddenly became much smaller. Then I heard a man say viciously:

"yell. Lao Tzu splashed you with boiling water. It's ripe for you to kill. ”

It's a terrible threat. Zheng Jiadi's bow immediately shut up. Listen to the people in the house still going on there. I could vaguely hear that water was boiling on the ground next door. I also heard the sound of iron tools colliding on the ground. Indeed, the earth is not a good sign. And the man who just spoke. The accent is an authentic Jingshi official dialect.

Come and think about it. I can't think of what the locals in Beijing have to do with Shandong. Zheng Jiadi's bow was half loud before he hesitated and said:

"A few heroes, the small one also won some silver in the Zhangjiadi gambling house, and he still carried some with him, if he didn't dislike it. The heroes just take it all. ”

As soon as he spoke. Listening to the silence on the other side, the bow felt that there was a door in his heart. Said politely again:

"The small one is on the sea boat, come here to Fengmeng Town is to find a happy life, and a few heroes, there must be no grudges, please trouble you to knock the small one unconscious with a stick, and throw it outside."

This bow is also a bachelor, and in the current situation, it can only be to save his life, money and foreign things, and the bow of the Zheng family also understands that even if he wants to take revenge, he can't find the enemy, so he can only tell the Jiaozhou officers and soldiers in Fengmeng Town, waiting for them to vent their anger.

After being quiet for a while, I heard a few people laughing out loud on the other side, and one of them said coldly:

"This Nanban knows how to do things, but this time the uncles are not here to rob the land, Zheng Laosan, your business!!"

The Zheng family has thousands of them in Fujian, and this Zheng Laosan has nothing to do with Zheng Zhibao, but they are just ranked in the family, and most of the poor people can't afford their names.

As soon as he heard Zheng Laosan being called out by the other party, the bow of the boat was suddenly full of excitement, and he probably heard the tone of the other party, which was clearly the tone of the official of the yamen, although the Zheng family now has an official identity, but what they did, if they were investigated, were all sins of exterminating the clan and copying the family.

"We are the ...... who came out to run an errand in the Jingshi Town."

After reporting the name, seeing that Zheng Laosan didn't even react, the person opposite explained with a cruel smile:

"You are not familiar with this name, you know the name of Jinyiwei, how many masters are Jinyiwei who came out on an errand!!"

The name of Jinyiwei is really like thunder, even the most frontier people of the Ming Dynasty have heard of the prestige of this yamen, it is as terrible as a man-eating monster, these people are authentic Jingshi official dialect, this Zheng Laosan is even more afraid, although there are some small loopholes and mistakes in the official name of the yamen reported by these people, how can he hear it.

"The villain is a subordinate of the Fujian coastal defense guerrilla Zheng Daguan, and he is also an official, and he is also an official, several uncles, this matter must be a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

As soon as he shouted a few words, he was kicked in the stomach, it hurt so badly that he couldn't bend down, so he had to gasp for breath, and heard the person opposite say gloomily: "Don't talk to us about these foolish words, Zheng Laosan, you dog colluded with Tartar, someone has already sued, we are from Jingshi to come to Shandong to get you." ”

It was hard to catch his breath, and when he heard this, he was choked suddenly, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he coughed continuously and went to Jinzhou and North Korea to trade and trade. This was originally the principle and policy set by Zheng Zhilong, the big boss of the Zheng family, how dare he speak as a cow and a horse.

This powerful brocade-clothed guard officer set his sights on him. Presumably there must be definite evidence, if you get rid of the crime, you can't get rid of the crime, you can't say that this is our leader's idea, the family is still in Fujian, if your words are spread, the family should not think about having a good life.

"A few masters, Xiaodi has indeed been to North Korea and Liaozhen. It's just to sell some fine goods from the south, this silver has to be earned by people anyway, and it makes sense for the Zheng family to make money, a few masters, the small one is just the bow of the ship, and what is ordered to do it honestly, I don't dare to take any ideas for such things! ”

Zheng San spoke official dialect with a Fujian accent, which made people sound very difficult, but the general meaning was clearly expressed, and several brocade guards were silent again. Fang Cai said:

"Zheng San, I also know that you are just a doer, so it is not difficult for you. Tell me what you know, and we'll go and get the one in charge. ”

"A few masters, there are old people and children in the small family, those officials and nobles of the Tartars like the fine goods in the south, and on weekdays they are a group of Shanxi people who buy in the south, and then everyone ponders to let them make money. It's better to buy and sell directly and make this money! ”

As he finished speaking, someone in another room shouted:

"The water is boiling..."

Zheng San shook when he heard this, and heard someone in the room sneering and said:

"Zheng San, what you said is so untrue, it seems that you will pour some boiling water and take a hot bath, maybe you can still be sober."

Hear this. Zheng San struggled desperately in his chair. But he couldn't move at all, and he heard the sound of water next door. Someone walked towards this side, and then he could feel the hot water vapor rushing to his face, and he was already terrified to the extreme, and he cried out and begged for mercy:

"Official, official, what can you know here on Xiaodi, you really poured this water on Xiaodi's body, and Xiaodi won't know anything, but you know that the boat going to the Tartar side has been running since years ago, and they are all fine goods from Jiangnan and Fangui, and when you come back, they are generally loaded with some mountain goods and medicinal materials."

But even if he shouted like this, the other party didn't mean to stop, a few drops of water dripped out of the container and landed on his legs, which was indeed hot and painful.

This Zheng San's spirit finally collapsed, and he cried and said:

"The little one really doesn't know, or you will kill the little one with one sword, mercy, don't let the little one suffer this living sin, please."

The basin of boiling water was indeed far away from him, and Zheng San was relaxed at this time, as if he was in prostration, just howling and crying somewhere.

Standing opposite him, Di Huang Ping, looked at each other with a cold face and several subordinates around him, all of them were quite disappointed, from this Zheng Sandi's mouth, it can only be confirmed that the Zheng family in Fujian is indeed doing business with the Tartars again, but the Zheng family is a wealthy family, if it is just doing business, no one will believe it.

Looking at this Zheng Sankou, that is, these things can be dug out, in Jiaozhou, the Shandong Salt Gang and several other yamen jointly investigated, it is true that there are no existing people who follow this port to enter the inner 6 to inquire about the news, but whether there are other things, or the sale of weapons, or the Zheng family through other ways to provide information to the Tartars, I don't know at present.

The Zheng family has high-level personnel in Jining and Jiaozhou City, and on the Jining side, Zheng Xia, who is in charge of the business of Shandong and Nanzhili, often comes over.

But these people can't be tied up, if they are caught, it is not easy to explain, thinking of this, Huang Ping was a little frustrated, thinking that he joined the Jiaozhou battalion, originally wanted to go into battle, who would have thought that he would still do the old business inherited by the family, this errand is really depressing.

However, the leader of the Shandong Salt Gang, the status of Xuan He is also the best mixed in the Huang family for more than ten generations, and it is worth it.

Since he can't find out the news, this person can't just be put in the residence of the Lingshan Guard, he has to be disposed of, just about to give the order, Zheng San over there cried and cried a little tired and collapsed, as soon as the person was tired and collapsed, he was mentally relaxed, chattering and complaining and scolding, and the preface did not match the afterword.

"We, the people, have to bear such a great sin when we sail ships at sea and disregard our lives to earn some hard-earned money. The officials of the imperial court sent people to the Tartars to sue for peace, and you ...... again."

There was a sudden silence in the room. This Zheng San also subconsciously closed his mouth, Huang Ping and the others looked at each other, and they all saw the irrepressible excitement in the eyes of the other party, what kind of information does their own marshal need, the people below them probably have an idea, and the words spoken in front of the bow should be the kind of information that their own marshal likes the most.

Things have nothing to do with the Zheng family, and the spirit is up and down. And anyway, Zheng San didn't shy away from this issue, and he probably didn't think these words would happen.

The Ming and Manchu intelligence gatherings were extremely unequal, and the Tartars had all sorts of people in northern China who were inquiring about the news, while the Ming were completely vague about what was going on on the Manchu Tartars.

Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, sent an envoy to contact and negotiate peace outside the Guan, but the concealment inside the Guanguan was impenetrable, but it was already boiling in the territory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty outside the Guan.

According to Emperor Chongzhen's instructions, the scale of peace talks is actually very large, and the Ming Dynasty has no experience in peace talks with foreign barbarians in history. Back then, Song Liao, Song Jin, and Song Yuan came to talk about what kind of coins, what kind of ministers, and so on.

Ma Shaoyu appeared in the official Manchu Dynasty. No matter what military victories they have achieved, the Manchus have always had an inferiority complex towards the Han people, and this inferiority complex has lasted for many years, culturally. This is true nationally, in all respects.

That Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan I are just a humble literati born in a talented child, but they have such a high-ranking official position in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Nurhachi's massacre of the Han people in his later years is related to this inferiority complex, which is also the noble and high-ranking officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Chad's wealth, they imitate the Han people's clothes, and like all kinds of extravagant enjoyment of the Ming Dynasty.

Shanxi businessman. There were also southern merchants, including the Zheng family. This is the reason for doing such business with the Manchurian chieftains.

The Manchus currently had such a military advantage over the Ming Dynasty. But the general attack was delayed, but only entered the customs again and again to harass and loot, at this time the Ming Dynasty was about to be destroyed by the army of exiles, so weak Ming Empire, the Manchu Qing at the peak did not make any big moves.

It's almost all related to that kind of looking up perspective and inferiority mentality......

But suddenly, the Ming Empire, which had been admired by him for many years, suddenly sent a secret envoy for peace talks, and it was such a low profile.

All the Manchurian people who knew all this at this moment, suddenly full of confidence, the seemingly huge image of the Ming Empire collapsed in their hearts, and the significance of this matter even passed the battle of Songshan, it turned out that the other party was so vulnerable, completely a paper tiger.

Although Ma Shaoyu, the secret envoy of the peace talks, repeatedly asked the other party to keep it secret, the news was still spread intentionally or unintentionally, from Prince Baylor, to the following Jia Ding and Bao Yi, everyone knew the news that the Ming Dynasty came to sue for peace and call the ministers Nagong, and everyone was excited, and directly regarded this matter as a joke.

Calling the minister Nagong, what is this, Daming made such a low posture, but it made the Manchus see more clearly the inner weakness of the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of millions of gold and silver, children and livestock, when the time comes, rely on bows and horses to rush into the pass, and take it yourself, what is the money you call Chennagong.

When the Zheng family's fleet went to Jinzhou to unload, they chatted with the people on the shore, anyway, the Zheng family and the merchants from the south were also Han Chinese, and the Manchu people on the dock were a little polite in the past, but at this time they were high-spirited, and they laughed at these sailors and boatmen when they chatted.

The Zheng family, these sailors and the people in charge, the concept of the nation-state is weak, but they think, what is our business, then the court has come to peace talks, and the guilt in my heart that is as if there is nothing has disappeared.

In addition, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, who was tightly closed, also knew the news, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty had not given up on his surrender, and it was really interesting what effect this news would have.

Who instigated the peace talks, who came to the peace talks, and what the content of the peace talks was, all these things were scattered throughout the Guanwai by the Manchu Qing people, so as to be true and credible, and perhaps this was also the psychological construction of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

It's just that he is pitiful for this envoy who has gone out of the customs to seek peace, and has suffered all the foolishness and ridicule of the Tartars, but he can only helplessly negotiate peace there, becoming a fool in the eyes of others, a shame and a laughing stock in the eyes of the world.

Zheng San is a rough man, and he has chatted with the people on the shore, and he doesn't remember it too clearly, but he knows enough news.

For example, he vaguely remembered that the name of the big man in the DPRK and China who sent people to the peace talks was Chen, and there was a certain civil official surnamed Ma, and these names were enough.

When Huang Ping and a few people recorded, they were calm enough, and the swift operation in their minds was combined with the information of the imperial court that they had mastered, they were subordinates of Shandong, and unconsciously, they already had a sense of alienation from this Ming Dynasty, and there was a faint sense of schadenfreude and contempt.

This Huang Ping thought a little more than the people below, what he thought was that if this news reached the hands of the big handsome, he didn't know what kind of thunderous anger would be.

After recording these news, Zheng San's face was already dead, although he didn't know what he meant by what he said, but the Jinyi guard who came from him didn't mean to stay alive.

After asking, Huang Ping stood up from the chair and shook his hands, he was too tired to record, and a subordinate on the side came over, pointed at Zheng San, who was tied to the chair with his head covered, and raised his hand to wipe it on his neck.

Huang Ping groaned slightly, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he waved his hand......

The room was quiet for a while, Zheng San was already completely desperate in his heart, thinking that the other party should also be at the time of extinction, but he was also a little relaxed in his heart, because all this he said today, if Zheng Zhilong, the leader of his own family, knew about it, he was afraid that he would die even worse.

These people in the Zheng family are all jumped on the calf a few small holes, and then directly tied up with a rope and hung on the side of the boat, it doesn't take long to walk on the sea, the smell of blood can lure the shark over, and the shark tears off the flesh piece by piece, but he can't die, it's really hell, it's more cruel than that live chopping, it's creepy to think about, such a simple death, the old and young people in the family will not be treated badly.

Just thinking about it there, the black cloth cover on his face was torn off, and the room was dark, and Zheng San's eyes quickly adapted to the light.

There were several sturdy men in brocade robes standing in front of him, all of them were fresh-faced, they had never seen before, they looked at him coldly, and a master with a needle and a knife walked in, this Zheng San was so frightened that he thought that the other party was going to kill someone, who would have thought that the person had tattooed a pattern on his arm, and while the blood stains were not dry, a brocade guard printed a piece of paper full of words on his blood stains and extended the pattern.

"Brother Zheng, this is your confession, the pattern on your arm is the same as the confession, if it is sent to your dragon's head, what will happen to you, you know better than us!!"

These people are so poisonous, Zheng San already had the determination to die, but if it goes on like this, his family will also suffer from bad luck, he writhes desperately, and is just about to curse, but the other person picks up a pocket, which is exactly the silver he won last night.

The brocade guard said leisurely again:

"I'll exchange the silver in this pocket for gold."

Gold! That's nearly eight times, and suddenly with such a big fortune, Zheng San opened his mouth wide and looked at the brocade guards in front of him, completely confused, and the brocade guards continued lightly:

"Brother Zheng, we will come and go often in the future and deal with each other often......"

Although the plane saves time, it is also a tossing day and very tiring

That's all for now, thank you
