Chapter 011: Kill the Wokou and share the money
It turned out that this ox knife juniper was a ruffian in Zhoushan County. A few years ago, a group of pirates came ashore to plunder and encountered the ox knife cypress. Originally, the cow knife juniper was dead, but this cow knife juniper is used to looking at people's faces, and will stutter, and the mouth is sweet. Under the danger of the situation, after pointing fingers, he actually became the lackey and leader of the Japanese bandits, and became a traitor and a fake Japanese bandit. In the past few years, Niu Dao Hui has not only learned a Japanese language, but also knows a lot of things about Japanese people. And the three firearms of the Japanese are the real traitors of this fake Japanese Kou, and in order to win the trust of the Japanese Kou, they managed to get their hands from the Ming military guard and give them to the Japanese Kou.
Wu Tianxiao didn't kill Niu Daojuni, and keeping him was definitely not soft, but he wanted to get more credit from this traitor. So after some interrogation, he told everything he knew and didn't know.
I don't want this ox knife juniper to follow the Japanese Kou for many years, and I have really gone to a lot of places. How to get to Tofan Island (Taiwan Island), how to get to Naha in the Ryukyus, there are several Japanese strongholds on Tofan Island and Naha Island in the Ryukyus, and how many Japanese are clearly explained. Moreover, Niu Dao Hui also went to Qiongzhou Island, Annam and Champa Da Nang with the Japanese Invaders, and knew the route. So Wu Tianxiao asked Jiang Zhuang to lead people and imprisoned this fake Japanese traitor. Later, he discussed the aftermath with Chen Qianhe, Tang Zhixian and others.
A total of 153 Japanese pirates were exterminated, one was captured alive, and a lot of property was seized. And after Tang Zhi County saw that he had completely exterminated the Japanese and seized a lot of property, he actually asked someone to go back to the county seat and bring a merchant named Tong Hua. This Tong Hua is a bit famous in Ningbo Mansion and is one of the few maritime merchants in the Ming Dynasty who has an official citation note.
In fact, although there was a sea ban in the Ming Dynasty, it was not a blind and comprehensive blockade. Rather, it is strictly restricted, and the sea ban is only aimed at ordinary people. There are still a small number of large merchants who use silver to buy official notes from the government to go to sea. Although it is only a minority, and these maritime merchants are only doing things for the government.
Tong Hua's arrival was naturally for stolen goods. The result of Tang Xianyao's discussion with Wu Tianxiao and others was that in addition to money and food, other belongings were transported by Tong Hua to Zhoushan County to be sold. After Tong Hua's estimation of the property, together with the gold and silver money seized, the total amount obtained this time was almost six or seven thousand taels of silver.
Anyone likes to sit on the ground and share the spoils. The biggest credit for exterminating this nest of robbers this time is naturally Wu Tianxiao, and then Chen Qianhe. And Chen Qianhe is an official soldier, so under Wu Tianxiao's strong deterrent, although Tang Xianyao does not dare to offend Wu Tianxiao, he has a full desire for wealth, so whenever he has free time, he will give Chen Qianhe a look. Chen Qianhe understood, so he pulled Wu Tianxiao aside.
Let's be honest. At this time, Chen Qianhe had already seen Wu Tianxiao's extraordinary, so he already had his own plans in his heart. Then he said to Wu Tianxiao boldly: "Brother." Without you, not to mention that this nest of pirates has been exterminated today, and these possessions have been obtained, I am afraid that many people will suffer from the scourge of the pirates. If you say that these possessions are divided, I will divide them as I do, brothers. ”
Wu Tianxiao also had his own plans at this time. First of all, I am very unfamiliar with the surrounding environment, and now I need an identity and a place to live, so it is very necessary to use these people in front of me. When even polite: "Brother Chen has contributed a lot this time, and I am the first time I have arrived, and I still listen to Brother Chen." ”
Chen Qianhe said with a smile: "Brother Wu is the first meritorious. Not you. Don't say it's silver, it's not even good to say your life, it's still your brother. ”
Wu Tianxiao smiled: "That's it." Let's have a discussion, and the result is always that everyone is good. ”
Chen Qianhe smiled: "Hahaha?? Good. Brother, how do you discuss? ”
So the two of them discussed on the side. Of course. It was mainly Wu Tianxiao who came up with the idea, and Chen Qianhe added a lot on the side. In the end, the two decided: those who participated in the night attack would each receive 20 taels of silver, an additional subsidy of 5 taels of medicine for the injured, and the one who was killed by the Japanese would give his family a pension of 100 taels of silver, and Chen Qianhe would also receive 500 taels of silver. And under Chen Qianhe's prompting, he also gave Tang Xianyao three hundred taels, after all, the magistrate of the broken family is still a good friend. And because the old village chief of Luomen Village supported him a lot, he also gave the old village chief Jia 300 taels of silver as compensation for Luomen Village. And the county government also supported later, and those who worked and produced goods had a share, so they also gave 1,200 taels to Tang Zhixian as a reward, as for how to share the reward, it was Tang Xianyao's business, and the remaining nearly 2,000 taels were Wu Tianxiao's. The merits of killing the Japanese were all given to Chen Qianhe, Tang Xianyao and other officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers were paid an additional 200 taels to Wu Tianxiao for killing the Japanese invaders.
After the two decided, they told Yuchi County the result. Tang Xianyao listened to Wu Tianxiao and stammered: "It's all the credit of Wu Da Hero." Such a point is thanks to the hero, and everyone naturally has nothing to say, everything is arranged by the hero. ”
Wu Tianxiao continued: "Lord Zhixian. Wu Moufang returned from overseas and didn't even have a place to stay. So if you want to use that sea ship as a place to live, it shouldn't be a problem. ”
Tang Xianyao was a little cautious when he heard this, but he didn't dare to offend. So it's hard to say, "This ??? It's a no-brainer. It's just that the imperial court has a ban first, and it's better for heroes not to sail out to sea. ”
Wu Tianxiao comforted: "The sea ship is so big, how can I move alone, it's just a place to shelter from the wind and rain." ”
After hearing this, Tang Zhixian thought about it, how could a person move that sea ship. So the last worry was said: "There are heroes." I think that even if the Japanese invaders come again, it will be difficult to snatch the ships away. ”
Wu Tianxiao naturally knew the beware of this magistrate, so he packed the ticket: "If you dare to come to one, I will kill one, and if you dare to come to a boat, I will destroy him as I did today." ”
After hearing this, Tang Xianyao smiled and said, "Okay, good." With Wu Yingying here, the official is relieved. It's up to the hero to do what the hero says. ”
Wu Tianxiao thought of his identity again, so he struck while the iron was hot: "There is another matter, please ask the county lord for help." ”
Tang Zhixian was busy: "Wu Yingying, please speak." ”
Wu Tianxiao said: "I just said that I exchanged the merit of killing the Japanese for money???
Tang Zhixian hurriedly promised: "This rest assured, two hundred taels must be indispensable." Later, in exchange for the money from the shopkeeper Tong, he handed it over to Wu Yingying. ”
Wu Tianxiao explained: "The magistrate has misunderstood. A certain meaning is to say: I have just returned from overseas and have not yet had the identity of the Ming Dynasty. So I don't want these two hundred, how about changing my identity credentials? ”
Tang Zhixian was happy when he heard this: Two hundred taels of silver to buy an official identity, then I won't make a fortune. immediately smiled and said, "Cheng." Wu Yingying is relieved. Whatever background you want, this official will do it for you. ”
Hearing this, Chen Qianhe had already intended to win over Wu Tianxiao. Then he said to Wu Tianxiao: "Brother." You might as well join the military. This time, I exterminated so many Japanese criminals, plus some silver, I will walk around Ningbo Mansion every day, and it should not be a problem to move a thousand households. Brother, after you join the military household, I will arrange a position for you first. When I move a thousand households, I will walk around again and give you a hundred households. Of course. With the ability of a brother, a certain naturally did not dare to command a brother. In the future, the brother will inevitably walk in front of Chen, and he just asks the brother to take care of him. "Wu Tianxiao himself was originally a soldier, and he was willing to be a soldier. However, he saw Tang Xianda's dazzling eyes, and he was quite disdainful.
