Chapter 470: If you are bullied, you have to fight back
With such a large fleet, of course, not only those generals can see, but also many residents who live by the sea. At first, the people were also panicking, but not too many people ran away, not afraid, but reluctant to give up the little property at home, thinking that it would not be too late to run away when they saw the situation.
After all, the Japanese are already a legend, even the oldest people here have not seen it with their own eyes, and what they usually talk about is those stories passed down from generation to generation.
And pirates or something, it's impossible to come to a small place like Weihaiwei, besides, such a large fleet can only be owned by the imperial court, right? In the spirit of admiration for the imperial court and nostalgia for their homeland, the people were anxious to look at the seaside until they saw the flags hanging on the fleet.
It's a bright yellow dragon flag!
It was the fleet of the imperial court, it was the fleet of the emperor, and the people put down their minds, but their minds became hot, and they crowded around the dock in groups of three or five, pointing and talking, admiring.
Although it is a port, the people of Weihaiwei have really never seen a few big ships, let alone so many big ships gathered together.
"It's finally here, and it's not been easy."
At this time, the big fleet that will appear in Weihaiwei is, of course, only Xie Hong's royal pirate gang. After leaving Fukue Island, he only made a short stop at Mokpo Harbor, replenished supplies, and then crossed the Yellow Sea and headed directly to the Jiaodong Peninsula.
Although there were charts, the size of the fleet was really large, and the sailors who drove the ships were all half-baked North Koreans, and there were frequent accidents along the way, although they did not suffer any wind and waves, but they still lost two ships on the way.
Xie Hong regretted it, but also couldn't help but admire the Three Treasures eunuch even more, you know, the latter took a fleet of tens of thousands of people and walked a longer distance, but there were no major accidents for seven consecutive times, which was much stronger than himself.
Originally, he planned to go to Dengzhou to stop, but because of these accidents, he had to find a place to repair in advance, so, under the guidance of the two brothers of the Lu family, the voyage was slightly adjusted and came to Weihaiwei.
As for the flag, although it was a pirate flag in the Wa Kingdom, but back in the Ming Dynasty, Xie Hong felt that it was better to replace it with the Yellow Dragon Flag, is this the Royal Fleet, besides, no one could understand the pirate flag, which made him feel very boring.
Seeing that the ship had begun to enter the port, he asked the Lu brothers with some curiosity: "Brother Lu, Fourth Brother Lu, when you said that you had been to Shandong, could it be that it was not Dengzhou that you had arrived, but Weihaiwei?" Otherwise, how could you be so familiar here? ”
"I've been to Dengzhou, and I've been here in Weihaiwei once......" Boss Lu didn't talk much, but this time he said a few words rarely, although his tone was still as low as usual, nothing unusual, but from his expression, Xie Hong could detect his resentment.
"Hmph, there are no good people here in Weihaiwei!" Lu Xiaosi is not as calm as his eldest brother, "That time, we easily collected some ginseng from North Korea, and pondered using it in exchange for some food. ”
He scolded hatefully: "That guy surnamed Li is also a commander, but like a bandit, he robbed the grain we exchanged, and also robbed the ginseng of the people who traded with us, and said what to maintain the law of the imperial court, hum, if you want me to say, he has a fight with the Tartars, that year, if it wasn't for the neighbors, I'm afraid my mother would ......."
I wipe, after eating, the upper house eats the next house, this commander surnamed Li has the demeanor of later generations, is it also a time traveler? Xie Hong felt that this behavior was somewhat familiar, but he also used this method when dealing with the Jurchens and North Korea in Liaodong.
It can be seen that the people of the Ming Dynasty are really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, as long as they are willing to ponder hard, and then have a little strength, they can always grab things, and they can also find a legal basis.
"Little Four!" Boss Lu glared at his brother, very dissatisfied, and didn't know if he thought of Xie Hong's behavior, or if he was simply steady, he didn't want to cause trouble for Xie Hong.
"Haha, it's okay, I'll take your breath after I land." Xie Hongwan smiled and said indifferently.
"It's a little thing, it's been so long, how can I bother Master Hou, besides, the one surnamed Li is also a commander after all, maybe there will be trouble......" After being scolded by his eldest brother, Lu Xiaosi also reined in and excused himself.
Although he was prevaricating, his eyes were rolling, obviously quite unwilling, which was not difficult to understand, Xie Hong could understand his mood.
There is a saying that a broken family is worth a lot of money, and the poorer the family, the more they can't afford to lose something.
Xie Hong just crossed that time, even if the family lost a needle and thread, Qing'er would be sad for many days, and even secretly cried twice, not that the little girl was stingy, but the hardships of life forced her to be like this.
And the difficulties of the Lu family brothers are not under the Xie family, the four brothers went to North Korea across the sea, and then turned to Shandong, which is really difficult to explain, but in the end it was ransacked, and it is strange that you can not hold grudges. If Xie Hong had been replaced, he would have found a way to retaliate, but the four of them could bear it.
Xie Hong waved his hand and said with a smile: "What's the trouble, since you are under the command of Benhou and doing things for the emperor, you are a protégé of the Son of Heaven, how can anyone be bullied?" If you are bullied, it is to slap Ben Hou in the face, how can Ben Hou tolerate him? Not to mention a small commander, even if it is a squire Shangshu, Ben Hou will not rest with him. ”
"Master Hou!"
Xie Hong's words are quite vulgar, similar to the underworld bosses of later generations, but there are few elegant people around him, but they agree more with this way of speaking.
Needless to say, Lu Xiaosi's eyes have begun to glow, and although Boss Lu is still calm, the expression on his face is also quite excited.
The sailors and marines next to him were even more adoring, and even more prideful, all of them raised their heads with their chests up, and they were very proud in their hearts.
We are Hou Ye's people, and we are also protégés of the Son of Heaven, we will not be bullied wherever we go, if someone dares to bare their teeth, we will fight back! Hou Ye has always done this, and we will carry forward this style in the future.
His casual words inspired the morale of the people, and Xie Hong didn't expect this, he would have said whatever he thought, and if he had to say anything to his own people, it would be too tiring.
"Let's convince people with virtue, ask in private, if the commander is a good person, Ben Hou will not be too difficult for him, let him apologize and submit to softness. However, since it is such an act, it is estimated that even good people are limited, so simply clean it up, and if there is a vengeance, you have to take revenge, so that the idea will be reached. ”
As he spoke, the fleet had already entered the port, and the Black Pearl and several flywheel warships were all on the periphery of the fleet, sometimes piloting, and more of an escort. The North Korean naval army was already honest, and when they saw this situation again, they couldn't think of resisting anymore.
It's just repairing, people go down, and there is no need to load and unload goods, and no one comes to stop it, so it didn't take too long to land.
When the Black Pearl docked, Xie Hong stretched his waist and beckoned everyone to get off the boat together. Jiang Bin Monkey and the others were naturally busy responding, and the others were also eager, only Boss Lu shook his head, "Master Hou, there must be people on the ship." ”
Xie Hong persuaded two sentences, but seeing that the other party insisted on refusing, he had to give up.
When he got off the boat, he looked at Lu Xiaosi, who was following him happily, Xie Hong also felt that these four brothers were actually very strange, with funny names, passers-by A, B, C, and D, and their faces were similar, but the difference in surnames was huge.
Lu Xiaosi is like a teenager who has not grown up, but Lu Boss is like a steady old man, the second child is quite changeable, and the third child is a simple person, but these four people are obviously quadruplets and their ages are the same.
Xie Hong couldn't think of a reason, so he could only sigh at the wonder of creation, thinking that he wanted to meet their old lady when he had time.
…… Seeing the flag symbolizing imperial power, the people stopped panicking and replaced them with curiosity.
"Why are the people on the boat dressed so strangely?" A lot of people are pointing fingers.
"That's the North Korean military uniform, didn't there be a North Korean envoy who came from the sea to our Weihaiwei to take shelter from the wind? That's what those people are wearing. The well-informed man replied.
"So, this is the North Korean fleet?"
"Don't be stupid, even if you add up all the North Korean ships, there can't be so many? It's not like you've never seen that ship before, it's called a broken one, and I really don't know how they crossed the sea. ”
"Not really! Besides, look at that flag, that is our Ming Dynasty's Yellow Dragon Flag, which symbolizes the majesty of the Son of Heaven, without the emperor's nod, who dares to hang such a flag, isn't that looking for death, the Koreans are not so bold, these North Koreans are just sailors, you see, the people on those small boats have come down, and they are our Ming generals! ”
"Wow, there are still people wearing purple robes! Could it be a big official? …… Why haven't you seen the commander and the adults come to greet them, even if the governor yamen came to watch the door before, didn't he run fast? Why is there no one now? ”
"I know, the commander was scared away, haha, I came over from the Acropolis just now, the commander rode a horse, Zhang Qianhu and they followed, a group of people saw a boat coming from a distance, so they ran away from the south gate, and they couldn't even see the figure at this time."
"What is he running? Did you think it was a pirate or a pirate and scared away? Our Weihaiwei has really been moldy for eight lifetimes, why did he have such a commander? Alas, eh? Isn't that Zhao Qianhu, he didn't follow? ”
"Fool, although Zhao Qianhu is afraid of his wife, he is a good man, how can he do it all the way with Li Papi? Look, Zhao Qianhu has greeted him......"
...... "Humble Weihaiwei Qianhu Zhao Zhong, see the adult, dare to ask the adult......"
Because he had to deal with the local government, Xie Hong also deliberately changed into an official robe, which saved some unnecessary trouble. Zhao Zhong didn't recognize Xie Hong's clothes, but he also knew that the people in purple robes were all big officials, and when they saw it from afar, they should greet him.
"My lord is the champion of the current emperor, and the official worships the governor of Liaodong ......" The words came out, and the audience was shocked.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, the shadows of the trees, the names of the people, and the names of Xie Hong were known even to people in Liaodong, not to mention the Shandong place close to Gyeonggi.
Zhao Zhong never expected that it would be the world-famous plague god in person, and he couldn't even say anything for a while, but just read vigorously: "See Hou Ye, see Hou Ye!" ”
He couldn't understand at all, how could the other party, the governor of Liaodong, suddenly appear in such a place with so many ships? Isn't Daming forbidden to the sea? Could it be that this Hou Ye is really the reincarnation of the gods, otherwise how could he conjure up so many big ships in the blink of an eye?
