Chapter 14 Confession, Honesty and No Deception, Entrusted with Heavy Responsibilities, Still Resigning
was in the handsome tent, and everyone laughed, Sanniang still had a smile on the corner of her mouth, and only said: "There is wine and meat here, let's talk while eating." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Sanruan hurriedly ordered someone to reorganize the cups and plates, and then Sanniang and the three drank freely. Sanniang didn't mention military and political affairs at all, let alone anything else, only about the brother's righteousness back then. San Ruan was only thinking about the matter of resigning last night, and he felt ashamed, although he talked about righteousness and gambling, but he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
After talking for a long time, Ruan Xiaoqi finally couldn't bear it, got up and came to Sanniang and fell to the ground, and said loudly: "Sister-in-law, I'm suffocating to death, in fact, we discussed it last night, and the three of us can't do it." ”
When Ruan Xiaowu heard this, he hurriedly got up, fell to the ground, and said apologetically: "Sister-in-law, the seventh child is such a character, and please don't blame your sister-in-law." Ruan Xiaoer couldn't sit still, the three brothers bowed to the ground, Ruan Xiaoer said: "Sister-in-law Mingjian, the three of us are all people who are used to the mountains and wilderness, and we only want to go back to Shijie Village to fish. ”
After the three of them spoke, their hearts were all uneasy, and they didn't dare to raise their heads, but they heard Sanniang's silver bell-like laughter: "You three get up first and then talk." Before the words fell, I saw a red color in front of me, Sanniang flickered, and the big red straight clothes had come close in person and helped the three of them up one by one.
The three of them were all full of shame, Ruan Xiaoer said: "Sister-in-law, the three of us burned yellow paper and made an oath back then, and now we are all recruited, but unfortunately the three of us don't have the life to be officials, and I ask my sister-in-law to allow the three of us to resign and go back to Shijie Village." After a pause, Ruan Xiaoer hurriedly added: "Sister-in-law is relieved, in the future, if you can get my three brothers, you only need a letter to arrive, that is, to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and the three of me will definitely follow my sister-in-law again." ”
Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi hurriedly responded: "Exactly, not only sister-in-law, but also Gongsun Daochang and other brothers will definitely help if they have any use." ”
Gongsun Sheng twisted his beard and laughed, and said, "You three have already made up your mind." Ruan Xiaoer said: "Back then, I killed officials and rebelled, and I was happy to take revenge and live happily for a while." But now that I am an official, there are big rules for being an official, and I can't be an official if I am three of them. ”
At this time, Sanniang smiled and said: "The three of you are like that grandson monkey, even if you recruit An, you can't settle down to be this official." Sanruan said: "What Sun Monkey?" Sanniang smiled slightly and said, "Just say it casually." ”
After a pause, Sanniang muttered: "The three of you don't want to be officials because of the big rules, there is still one thing I want to ask you, but there are others who say that the three of you resigned together?" ”
Sanruan glanced at each other, and they all said together: "Last night, there was a big official from Chai who came here to say that the three of me were here, and taught the three of me to resign with him, and then find another mountain gate to open a mountain and set up a village." ”
Sanniang smiled and said, "Then why don't you three go with the Chai officials?" Ruan Xiaoer shook his head and said: "The three of me are used to it, and I don't want to go to the grass again, and the big official of the firewood has never been close to the three of me, and I can't go freely when I go with him." Ruan Xiaowu said: "Even if you fall into the grass with the firewood officials, you may not be as close as your sister-in-law." If he only cares about himself and recruits again, he is not an ordinary official, then it is better to be an official here with his sister-in-law. Ruan Xiaoqi also said: "Exactly, he is a noble man of the Chai Emperor, his eyes are above the top, if he has to pull more people away, I am afraid that I will not be able to think of the three of me here." ”
Sanniang hummed lightly and sighed: "Chai Daguan is a person with a big heart." After a pause, Sanniang smiled: "Don't talk about him, let's talk about the three brothers first." If you want to resign, I won't allow my sister-in-law. But I'll ask the three of you again, but for me to deal with Yan Xiaoyi and Li Tieniu, I feel a little guilty? ”
San Ruan was silent for a moment, and Ruan Xiaoqi said first: "Sister-in-law, it's true that Xiaoyi and Tie Niu have broken the rules, but the two of them have followed his sister-in-law to death many times, but if he makes a mistake, teach him two fines or demotion officials, in short, they can cover up the past, and they don't have to drive him away." Moreover, even if the court believes that the two of them did it, we will not admit it to death, and the court will not dare to send someone to my Shandong Road to ask for the crime. In the end, he muttered: "Sister-in-law, you are too chilling to do this." ”
Ruan Xiaowu frowned and scolded in a low voice: "What do you know? Sister-in-law has her own opinions. Ruan Xiaoer also said: "Sister-in-law must have difficulties when she does this, what do you know?" ”
Sanniang listened, waved her hand and said: "No wonder the three of you have a thorn in your heart, this matter is here with Mr. Gongsun, when I heard it for the first time, I was not happy." After a pause, Sanniang continued: "It's also my fault, I was still in Yangzhou at the time, and the incident happened suddenly, and I could only send the two disposals back with the flying pigeon pass, and the reason has not yet been stated. ”
When Sanruan heard this, he was surprised and delighted: "Sister-in-law really has a reason, please say it quickly." Gongsun Sheng twisted his beard and said with a smile: "That Yan Xiaoyi and Li Tieniu are arranged by the lord, to do a big thing, they have to cover it up like this, as for what big things to do, there is no need to say more, when it is done, they will naturally know." ”
Sanruan's heart was relieved, and he smiled. Gongsun Sheng smiled when he saw it: "Then do you three still want to resign?" The three of them laughed once, but before they could speak, Sanniang said with a smile: "Manly man, if you say you want to resign, you have to resign." ”
As soon as these words came out, Sanruan's heart was in a panic, and when he was about to speak, Sanniang raised her hand to stop, and said with a smile: "You three don't have to be frightened first, wait until I speak slowly." I still have a big thing here, and I also need three naval leaders to do it, and it is the same as Xiao Yi and Tie Niu, that is, I have to resign and do it again. At first, I didn't tell the three of you, but I thought that your three brothers were my confidants, and it was hard to become officials, how could I give up my official position because of this matter? It has never been stated. ”
Sanruan's heart was overjoyed when he heard this, and Ruan Xiaoer said impatiently: "Sister-in-law Hugh said such things, it doesn't matter if this official doesn't do it, but I can share the big things for my sister-in-law, and the three of us are naturally happy." Ruan Xiaowu said: "The three of us are just idle, sister-in-law has any big deals, just say it." Ruan Xiaoqi even patted the case and said: "Sister-in-law, since I am still the three of my confidant brothers, I can just say it bluntly." ”
Sanniang was overjoyed, nodded and said slowly: "Okay, since that's the case, listen to me in detail." At that moment, Sanruan came to listen closely, and Gongsun Sheng twisted his beard and smiled and listened freely.
Sanniang coughed lightly and said: "Although I have recruited An, the traitors in the court have never been eliminated, and we can only go all the way in Shandong for Tianxingdao." But as I said before, when the world changes, we can rise up and sweep the world. But before that, we can only keep our heads up and accumulate strength in secret. ”
"Now my Liangshan Shui Division has built a new ocean-going navy, but compared to the Song Dynasty navy in Quanzhou and other places in the south of the Yangtze River, it is still weak. Moreover, Quanzhou and other places, the sea is rich in commerce and trade, and the Song court can raise many warships, and one day it will really compete with the Jiangnan Song court navy, but I am afraid that I will not be able to catch it. ”
Speaking of this, Sanniang paused, and Ruan Xiaoqi said: "What bullshit Quanzhou Song Dynasty Navy, the three of us will light up the water camp warship, and we will meet them when we go south." Sanniang said with a smile: "The three warships under your command are all flat-bottomed inland river warships, how can you get to the open sea?" Ruan Xiaowu said: "Listen to my sister-in-law first, my sister-in-law must have an idea." ”
Sanniang continued: "I just want to come, if you want to weaken the sea trade of the Southern Song Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, you must dominate the sea route. To dominate the sea routes, in addition to our own navy, we still need a force in the shadows. ”
Sanruan didn't capture his mind, and looked at Gongsun Sheng in a daze, Gongsun Sheng smiled: "Actually, it's simple to say, it is Li Jun and the others' navy in the Ming, shipbuilding and training, and the three of you are in the dark, that is, going to sea as pirates, robbing Quanzhou and other places in the South Seas, and harassing the Song Dynasty sea trade!" ”
Sanruan was taken aback, and after a while, the three evil stars were overjoyed, Ruan Xiaoer patted his thigh and said: "Good sister-in-law, such a good errand, why didn't you say it earlier, the three of us knew that there was such a good errand, and we would have rushed to it a long time ago." Ruan Xiaowu said with a smile: "Let's do this looting thing well, such an errand, the three of us will go." Ruan Xiaoqi laughed and said, "Grandpa can be happy and unrestrained again." ”
Sanniang also laughed, and then said, "Since the three of you are willing to go, listen to me." I will issue you three privateer warrants, allowing you to plunder all the merchant ships on the South China Sea Road of the Great River, but remember not to plunder the merchant ships on our Shandong Road. The three of you and I are on the eastern side of the road, and half of it. And I provide the port, sailors and you here, you can stop at the port of Yiying on my Shandong Road, and shipbuilding, ship repair, and recruiting sailors can all be completed here. At the same time, you are not allowed to plunder any ship or ship with the flag of our Shandong Road Navy. ”
San Ruan laughed in unison: "This is natural, if you meet Brother Li Jun, then it will be the water that has washed the Dragon King Temple." Sanniang said: "Although the three of you went to sea to plunder, we still uphold the morality of doing the right thing for the sky, as the so-called thief also has a way, I will set up a rule for the three of you, which is the following sentences." First, they only rob property and goods, and do not harm people's lives. Second, they only rob money and goods, and do not disturb women and children. Third, they plundered only the goods, not the poor. ”
Sanruan responded together, Ruan Xiaoqi said: "This is natural, **** kills, we don't do it, generally fishermen who go to sea are poor people, and we naturally won't rob them." ”
Sanniang smiled and said: "Okay, from tomorrow, the three of you can choose people to prepare, I will ask Li Jun to prepare a ship for you, this trip to the south, first find a port or island, as a base for the advance." ”
I discussed many details with Sanruan, and they were all agreed, and Sanniang said: "That's it." By the way, where is the Chai official now? Lead me to meet you. (To be continued.) )
