"Why didn't Brother Eighteen say anything just now?" After everyone dispersed, Ren Siqi said to Mao Shiba, who had been silent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This is your internal matter, how can I, an outsider, interject?" Mao Eighteen said with a smile.

This successful revenge for the "Fuchun" made Mao Shibai feel happy, in his eyes, Ren Siqi is no longer the down-and-out talent who escaped from prison just now, and now he has a decisive heroic atmosphere.

"How can Brother Mao be an outsider?" Ren Siqi said affectionately, "Our brothers meet again, don't separate in the future." ”

"Do you want your brother to defect to you?" Mao Eighteen looked at Ren Siqi with a smile.

"What defection or not, if the eighteenth brother comes, I will give you the position of the master." Ren Siqi said angrily.

"Then I don't dare to take it, these tigers and wolves under your command won't eat me alive." Mao Eighteen said with a smile.

"Stay, Brother Eighteen. I will hand over the "Fuchun" to you, and you will be the owner of the "Fuchun" in the future! Ren Siqi took Mao Eighteen's arm and solemnly made a request.

Mao Shibai has rich experience and excellent combat power, and with him joining, Ren Siqi feels like an extra arm.

"Can I still say no?" Mao 18 is not a hypocritical person, he was born to belong to the sea, so he naturally does not want to live in seclusion on a small island in obscurity.

"But I'm not a host, among all people, the owner can only be a showman!" Mao Eighteen Road.

"But I can't manage two boats alone?" Ren Siqi said, now with the "Fuchun", there are two big ships that can go to sea to trade.

"Of course I can take care of a boat for you, but I'm not the owner, the owner is still you!" Mao 18 said solemnly.

Ren Siqi was suddenly a little moved, he knew that Mao Shibai did not want to be equal to him in status, but wanted to establish his unique prestige in the entire team. Mao Eighteen is Mao Eighteen, and he will always be the man who takes care of each other!

In the next few days, Ren Siqi sent people to each village to recruit village soldiers in the name of guarding against piracy, and there was no need for each village to pay their own food and salary, and after becoming a village soldier, they would have a salary of one or two silver per month, and they were serving on the island not far from their homes, and the men in each village were very enthusiastic, and more than 200 people signed up in a short period of time.

Ren Siqi was unwilling to recruit too many at once, but selected the most elite 100 people from them to form a 100-person township barracks. He personally consulted with the Dutchman Monroe about the training of the villagers, and decided to adopt the formation of the Spanish pike. Because there were no muskets, the 100 men were all spearmen, divided into eight columns, each of which had twelve men to take the position of captain. In this way, a hollow phalanx can be formed on all sides, and he can recruit some musketeers or crossbowmen in the future, and he can form a phalanx of spears that is both offensive and defensive. The remaining four were one drummer and three cooks, thus forming a complete phalanx.

Since it is not a legitimate imperial army, it is natural that the official position of the imperial court cannot be used, and the chief of the township barracks is called Guan Band, which is served by Jin Yufei. Due to the lack of talent under his subordinates, Ren Siqi has now intended to cultivate Jin Yufei's ability to take charge of himself. The Dutchman was the head coach and was in charge of the entire training. Ren Siqi's cousin, Ren Xingfan, served as a military judge, responsible for the rewards and punishments and logistics of the entire team.

After arranging all the things on Daishan Island, Ren Siqi began to discuss the rewards for meritorious deeds. All the personnel couldn't wait, and when they heard the news, they left and cheered.

In this campaign against pirates, more than 100,000 taels of silver were seized, and Ren Siqi generously took out a large amount of silver and distributed it. Every crew member was given at least fifty Ying Yang, and even the newly recruited Mao 18 subordinates were given the same treatment.

With the silver in his hand, his morale suddenly rose. The envious eyes of the newly recruited villagers made the crew even more arrogant, and a sense of superiority arose. Ren Siqi promised the village soldiers that as long as they were willing to train well, they could also enjoy the same treatment after making meritorious achievements in the future.

Taking advantage of the elation of everyone to get the silver, Ren Siqi announced a new round of appointments.

Mao 18 was appointed as the "Fuchun" pipe band and responsible for the entire affairs of the "Fuchun", Sima Nan was appointed as the chief of fire of the "Fuchun" in charge of navigation matters, and Cao Changjiang was appointed as the general manager of the "Fuchun" to be responsible for the daily affairs of the ship. In the future, the ship will not be set up as the owner, but the pipe belt responsibility system will be adopted, and all ships will have only one owner, that is, Ren Siqi, the supreme leader of the team.

Then he brought more than 20 people with his crew and Mao 18, as well as skilled sailors recruited from Daishan Island, and distributed them to two ships. The "Flying Fish" has 48 people, while the "Fuchun" has 36 people. Now both ships are fully staffed and regrouped.

Sima Nan was a little disappointed, he thought that with the "Fuchun", he could live the addiction of the owner, but he didn't expect Ren Siqi to give the "Fuchun" to Mao Eighteen, but he couldn't say anything, because Mao Eighteen's strength and position in Ren Siqi's heart were far better than him.

"Eighteenth brother, I remember when you said that your greatest wish was to sail the four seas in a big ship, and now your wish has come true!" Ren Siqi smiled at Mao Eighteen.

"I still remember you once said to me that you want to drive out the Luzon Spaniards with thousands of ships like Lin Feng, I wonder when you will be able to do it?" Mao Eighteen snorted and asked rhetorically.

Ren Siqi laughed, remembering what he said to Mao Eighteen on the "Fuchun" when he went to Luzon before, "With the help of Brother Eighteen, this day will not be too far away!" ”

The two big ships pulled up their sails, slowly sailed away from the dock, left Daishan, and headed for Hangzhou Bay.

There were no words along the way, and a day later, the two ships sailed into Renjia Bay.

"Xiucai, you're back!" Liu Defu complained to Ren Siqi who got off the boat, he had already transported his raw silk one after another, but he always couldn't see the owner, which made him very anxious.

Ren Siqi explained to this partner in good words, and only then did he appease Liu Defu's anger.

"Six hundred quintals have been shipped, and four hundred quintals of raw silk will be delivered one after another in the next few days, I wonder when the ship will be?" Liu Defu looked at Ren Siqi eagerly.

"It's coming, as long as the monsoon is together, immediately." Ren Siqi said, "By the way, can you get more goods?" ”

"A thousand loads of raw silk have already killed me, and I can't get it anymore. Besides, didn't we say okay, only 1,000 quintals a year. Liu Defu asked in surprise.

"Didn't there be only one ship, but now that there are two, there must be more cargo needed." Ren Siqi pointed to the "Fuchun" in the sea.
