Chapter 92: The Great Name of the Pirates
Now that the third master Lu Louwei has opened his mouth, for Li Yufu, it is right in the middle, and he is naturally overjoyed.
These 500 Fran cannons in hand, that is really hot, use it yourself, unrealistic, there are too many of them, not to mention that if there is no cannon for the Franco cannon, it is similar to the decoration, at the beginning he listened to Hou Xiaobai's bewitchment, the ultimate goal of grabbing the Franco cannon, that is to cooperate with the government, he can do business in a grand manner, not to mention anything else, the sugar of the Ming Dynasty, take it to the Nanyang Islands to sell, that is several times the profit, make silver and earn soft.
On the other hand, look at the robbery, if you want to rob, you have to build a ship, the ship must be equipped with a Franco cannon, the Franco cannon is either bought from the imperial court, or, with those ghosts in the Nanyang Islands, in short, the expensive scared people to death, every cannon shot out, it is silver, the brothers under the hand to equip with knives and guns, the sea is humid, a waist knife, within a few years, it will be rusty, to buy again, go to sea to rob to reward, if there are casualties, most of the Ming people believe that after death, the fallen leaves return to the roots, to snatch back the body and go back to bury, Instead of throwing things into the sea like those ghosts...... To use the concept of later generations to make a simple analogy, if you want to be a pirate in the Ming Dynasty, you have to have three insurances and one housing fund, otherwise who will take such a big risk to be a pirate with you? Although the Ming Dynasty is not full of gold, it is still very easy to find a bowl of rice to eat, as the so-called, people die for money, birds die for food, and if you don't do pirates, if you don't have money, who will do it? You must know that there are people who do all kinds of business, and no one does the business of killing heads, and if he can do business properly, he Li Yufu doesn't even need to give his subordinates silver, just need to say, let's go to Guangzhou to buy sugar, take it to Manila to sell, and each person will divide the account according to the silver shared...... Look, one has to dig out a lot of silver, and the other doesn't need to pay silver, and the hand will try his best to hand up the silver, and the difference between inside and outside is big.
However, is he a pirate, or the famous King of Haiyan and Jade Jiaolong, and if he wants to do business seriously, who will give you ashore? Now it is the Wanli Dynasty, and it is not the Jiajing Dynasty where pirates are rampant, there are forts on the shore and sailors on the sea. Who believes! Isn't this mud horse as ridiculous as a bitch saying that she doesn't sell her body?
Therefore, although he is famous, in fact, he has lived a very hard life over the years, sometimes he can't even make ends meet, and there are too many people to support under his hands, so worried that his hair is a few gray, but tell others that no one believes that the famous Jade Jiaolong will have no money? Sometimes he really sighs to the moon in the dead of night, it's too difficult to be a good boss.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have made a desperate bet and robbed the Yan family's five hundred Franc machine guns, but he would regret it if he grabbed it, Li Shaonan, the Zhejiang political secretary behind this Hou Gongzi, was too tricky, and he didn't mention that there were people from the Ming military guard on the Yan family's ship, you know, there are people with military guards, the surname is different, and when the time comes, people will put a hat on your head to attack the imperial court official, which is the crime of killing your head and copying your family, but he still wants to make a lot of money by doing business seriously!
This pit made him not light, but the yellow mud entered the crotch of his pants, it was not it was also, he hesitated for many days, seeing that the New Year was about to be celebrated, and thousands of people under his hands wanted to eat and drink, so he had no choice but to pinch his nose, according to what the woman sent by Lord Li from the Zhejiang Political Secretary said, he sent a letter to the Yan family, and even the letter was not from him, but was all arranged by that woman.
After sending the letter, he could only pray that everything would go well, the Yan family ransomed people with silver, and then Lord Li's people suddenly came out and buckled the Yan family's hat of a coward, and everyone got all the stolen goods, Master Li was promoted to become rich, and he, Li Yufu, could also have a sum of silver in his pocket.
But the Yan family is here, followed by the huge warship fleet of Ningbo Bawei, a day ago, he had already found out the news, so scared that his face turned white at that time, what are you kidding, Ningbo Bawei's warship pulled out, and it was enough to occupy the Ryukyu Kingdom, just a salvo of the big Buddha on the warship could blow off half of his Li Yufu's fleet and deal with the Sea Dragon King.
As a sea bandit, pay attention to a speed at sea, a secret, grab and run, if you really fight face to face with the sailors of the huge empire, it is impossible to have a chance of winning, just looking at the dense cannon holes on the Ningbo Bawei warship, you can scare off all the pirates.
However, as the saying goes, when the sky falls, there are elders on top, and now, his Li Yufu's elders have finally come out to top the cylinder.
"The third child, I've worked hard for you all these years, and now you haven't been married for a long time, it's time to be intimate with your younger siblings, brother, I pulled you to rob the governor of Zhejiang, alas! Brother, I regret it too! But now that it has been robbed, the warships of Ningbo Bawei have also arrived in Ryukyu, so they can only resign themselves to fate. Li Yufu held Lu Louwei's hand tightly, with a look of remorse on his face.
"Brother Yufu said this, let's rob everything, what are you afraid of, it's a big deal, let's go to Fusang Island and find a powerful name to be a retainer, presumably with my brother's strength, how can I have a position as a pirate general in the past! I heard Yoshiyoshi say that Oda Nobunaga, who was killed by his subordinates, had a man named Kuki Yoshitaka under his hands, and even became a daimyo and was named the lord of Tottori Castle. When Lou Wei talked about his wife, his fierce face was full of tenderness.
Li Yufu despised it in his heart, a so-called king the size of a fanbang boogers, he was ousted from power at a young age, and he dared to call him a princess when he gave birth to a daughter, what city lord, put it in Daming, that is, the castle owner of a dock fort.
He has been at sea for decades, and he is not a turtle who has never seen the world, and he can be called a king with 10,000 stones, which is the so-called daimyo, but the stone high of this book must first detain the farmers who farm the land for himself, and also pay the samurai under his hand, and hand over to the greater lord...... It is said that the agricultural tax of this book is 5 people and 5 gong, that is to say, a daimyo of 100,000 stones, the grain that the peasants finally pay is 50,000 stones, and the grain is not silver, and it has to be sold through merchants in order to pay the samurai under their hands...... After such a twist and eight, it is estimated that it will be at most 5,000 taels of silver.
And in the Ming Dynasty, one tael of silver can buy two stone rice, as for five thousand taels of silver, it is a floating cloud, an ordinary good family has accumulated for three generations, and there is also a family foundation of one thousand taels of silver, that is to say, in this name, a big name with a surname, the family background is similar to the family foundation of the five good families of the Ming Dynasty.
In this way, you will understand why in this history, in order to go out to fight to save food, there are famous people in this history who want to call on the head of the family to take the lead in hunger strike, eat one meal a day, every few days, and collectively go on a hunger strike for another day.
However, everyone has their own pursuits, Lu Louwei thinks it's very good to go to Yuben to be a pirate general, Li Yufu thinks that he would rather be a Daming dog than a king, this is nothing more than a dispute between the cow queen and the chicken head, even if it is another five hundred years, the people who go to rich countries to brush dishes will also grab a lot of them, and Taizu also has a similar statement, rather than the chicken head than the cow queen.
Of course, the contempt in my heart is contempt, Li Yufu has been famous for 20 years, the city is deep, and it will never be shown on his face, and he said with a smile: "If it really comes to that point, it will really trouble the third brother and his younger siblings, and when the time comes, I will give up this position......
"What did my brother say about this?" Lu Louwei hurriedly interrupted him, and said angrily: "One day is my brother, my whole life is my brother, if it wasn't for my brother to take me in, where would I be today." ”
Li Yufu smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't say these words, our own brothers, the family doesn't speak the words of the second family, capable, up, incapable, down, whoever can bring the brothers below well, who is qualified to sit in this position......" Lu Louwei was still waiting to defend, Li Yufu stopped him with a smile, and then said: "However, these words are said later, let's brothers work together and get through the current predicament first." ”
Even if you know that this is just talking, although Lu Louwei is also quite deep in the city, otherwise he would not be able to climb to the position of the third master, but he is only in his early thirties, and compared with Li Yufu, who is forty-eight or fifteen years old this year, he is still a little more tender.
Lu Louwei was a little enthusiastic by what he said, and he couldn't wait to smash all the warships of Ningbo Bawei alone, he touched his bare head, grinned thick lips and smiled, and said: "Then, brother, I'll go and talk to Fangfang first, let her go and negotiate with those who say I, and wait for the evening, I'll take some people to bring the people of the Yan family to the island." ”
"Hmmm! Third brother, go ahead! I'll leave it to you. Li Yufu smiled and stretched out his arms to hug him, and patted him twice on the back.
Watching the bald man Lu Lou Wei hurriedly go out, the smile on the face of this jade dragon Li Yufu slowly cooled down, and after a long time, he sighed, "Alas! The hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead. ”
He Li Yufu wants to do business from a good and serious manner, but the third child under his command wants to go to Yuben to be a pirate name, but the second He Kangan is full of thoughts about restoring the prestige of the Wufeng shipowner back then, thinking about being a big pirate who has traces (^@^ and me again) and has traveled the world.
Gossip Hugh, the Yan family chartered an inn in the Ryukyus, waited for two days, but no one came to the door, very anxious, the old housekeeper Yan looked through the autumn water, almost all the time at the door, I can't wait for someone to tie Yan Dazhang in front of me immediately, and then shouted: Take out the silver, your master will take it!
The good official and the hundred households Hu Litao were not in a hurry, the good official said that it would not be the New Year anyway, so he and the big head lay on the table outside the inn to eat Ryukyu specialties, a kind of dried kelp, which tasted a bit like the seaweed of later generations, and Hu Litao sat around with his brothers, eating a kind of pot roast in the Ryukyus, this thing looks like a hot pot in the good official, the sea fish in it is the main ingredient, and a large number of sea vegetables, as well as a kind of flour made of Ryukyu rice.
Try 100 households Hu Litao took his brothers to eat and drink old wine, but he was also very happy, his brothers under his hand were very angry, and they all seemed to never think that they were the elite guards of Ningbo Bawei.
Seeing that it was getting dark, they were eating, and a tall man came in from outside, with a colorful tiger tattooed on his left face, which extended to his neck, and as soon as the man entered the door, Hu Litao and the elites under his hands stopped their chopsticks almost at the same time.
This guy must have killed countless people, Hu Litao thought as he looked at the bald man.
