readx; Hearing Zhu Youzhen say that "a catastrophe is coming", these egg people were all nervous. One of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info said indignantly: "Didn't the red-haired man let us go to the sea to dive pearls?" We picked it for him, so what else? ”

"Yes, we will do whatever the red-haired people tell us to do, they won't harm us!" The rest of the people also chimed in.

"You guys are so naïve," Zhu Youzhen sighed, "The red-haired people don't treat us as human beings at all, just as animals that can work, or commodities that can be traded!" I heard that the imperial court now wants the fleeing egg people, and a reward of 100 taels of silver has been captured. The red-haired people are the most greedy for money, they want us to send all the pearls to the government for punishment after picking pearls, he is so rewarded! Brothers, you know the "Da Ming Law", those who flee the country are beheaded regardless of gender, age and child! ”

Several people were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then said in shock and anger: "These days the red-haired people, we will use them as cattle and horses, and they will be killed!" Since the left and right are also dead, just fight with them, maybe there is still a way to live! Little brother, you lead everyone out! ”

Zhu Youzhen wanted this effect, and immediately lowered his voice and said, "Don't make a noise now!" You whisper this news to the others and let everyone prepare secretly. When we arrive in Penghu, the red-haired people will let us go to the sea to collect pearls, and then you can just look at me. As soon as I make a move, you will immediately launch it and fight to the death with the red-haired man! ”

Soon, the gossip that "the red-haired man wants to send the egg people to the court for punishment" spread all over the cabin, and everyone who heard it was full of anger. The Dutch were harsh and especially good at the Ming Dynasty, and they were extremely cruel to the egg people, all the men were pulled to do hard labor, and the women were all reduced to female slaves, which were clearly marked as commodities. Since falling into the hands of the Dutch, these egg people have been tortured to death, and the hearts of the rest have long been filled with the anger of revenge, and only a tiny fire is needed to erupt like a volcano!

And this rumor concocted by Zhu Youzhen has become that tiny fire.

In fact, Zhu Youzhen also felt a little guilty in his heart, he undoubtedly deceived and used these egg people by doing so. However, after repeated consideration, Zhu Youzhen still decided that he could not persuade the egg people to rebel in advance and directly. Because there are always some people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and will betray their compatriots in order to save their humble lives, such people are called traitors. Who can guarantee that there will not be one or two traitors among these egg people?

And if Zhu Youzhen doesn't provoke the egg people to rebel, maybe these egg people can live a few more years, but it is just a few more years of slavery and a few more years of sin. Instead of dying cowardly and hopelessly, it's better to fight hard! Therefore, Zhu Youzhen's lie not only forced them to a dead end, but also gave these egg people a chance to be reborn!

The Penghu Islands are only a few dozen miles away from the island of Taiwan, and at noon, warships have already arrived at Penghu Island, the largest of them. It turned out that it had also been occupied by the Dutch, and there were still dozens of garrisons on the island.

Zhu Youzhen saw that it was difficult to start here, so he encouraged Charles to tell the Dutch that pearl diving needs to be picked on inaccessible islands and reefs in order to have a good harvest. The Dutch were money-obsessed, so they followed Charlie to Mudouyu, the northernmost point of the Penghu Islands.

Mudouyu is just a desert island with a radius of dozens of zhang, and it is naturally deserted. The island is surrounded by reefs, but it is indeed a habitat for old mussels in the sea.

Charlie followed Zhu Youzhen's instructions and said to the captain of the warship: "Now please give each of these people a dagger." ”

When the captain boarded, his face was displeased, and he shouted loudly, meaning that pearl diving is pearl diving, what do you want to do with the dagger, do you want to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble?

Zhu Youzhen had already prepared, so he asked Charlie to tell the Dutch that the reason why pearls are scarce is precisely because pearl diving is a high-risk and difficult job. The first is to hold your breath and dive into the sea to find the old mussel in the reef crevice on the bottom of the sea; Then, while the old mussel is opening its shell to absorb the sunlight, it is necessary to suddenly break the mussel shell so that it does not close, and use a dagger to pick out the mussel flesh and take out the pearls from it.

Otherwise, as soon as the old mussel feels dangerous, it will immediately close the shell and secrete substances harmful to the pearl, resulting in a significant reduction in the pearl's color.

This is not made up by Zhu Youzhen, but the egg people's pearl diving is indeed so difficult. Otherwise, as long as the old mussel is fished onto the boat, why wait at the bottom of the sea?

After repeated explanations, the captain finally believed Charlie's words and gave the dagger to the egg people. However, the Dutch were very afraid of the slaves' rebellion, so they also prepared the sailors with arquebuses and waited for them.

Then, the egg people took off their clothes, put their daggers in their mouths, and plunged into the bottom of the sea. The water here is not deep, only a few meters, and the sunlight can penetrate the clear water to the bottom of the sea, so you can clearly see the egg people's every move.

I saw these egg-people like nimble swimming fish, shuttling between the craggy reefs, and every short time, they spit out a bubble regularly. Time passed minute by minute, and none of them surfaced to breathe!

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but praise in his heart, thinking that ordinary people would already blush and have thick necks after holding their breath for half a minute, but these egg people can hold on underwater for such a long time for the sake of their family's livelihood, what perseverance is this! Where are they "cheap", what Zhu Youzhen sees from them is only diligence, perseverance and courage!

Soon, some skilled egg-goers picked the pearls and returned to the water to present them to the Dutch. When the Dutch saw that there were real pearls, their greedy eyes were all straightened, and their spirits relaxed, and they only smiled and waited for the egg farmers to continue the harvest.

Zhu Youzhen watched coldly from the sidelines, seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, and more and more pearls were harvested, knowing that the critical moment was coming.

At this moment, an eggman came to the surface holding a pearl the size of a quail egg. Zhu Youzhen was heartbroken, glanced at Li Zhenyan and Charlie, and took the pearl and dagger from the fisherman's hand first, and respectfully presented the pearl to the captain.

The captain couldn't put it down, and was about to put the pearl in his pocket, when Zhu Youzhen hurriedly raised his hand and told him to point the pearl at the setting sun, let the sunlight pass through the pearl, so as to check whether the pearl was flawed.

The captain didn't know what to do, but he obediently raised the bead and looked at it, and the door was wide open in front of him. Zhu You saw that the opportunity could not be missed, and immediately shouted violently, the dagger had already pierced the captain's throat deeply!

"Godblessme!" Charlie also screamed, and slammed the sword from the captain's waist, stabbing three times as fast as lightning. Before the three sailors next to him woke up, they went to see God in a daze.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!! ”

Those egg people who were oppressed and bitter by the Dutch also broke out with an earth-shattering roar at this time, waving sharp daggers and killing the stunned Dutch soldiers!
