Yuan Gang sat there in a daze, his face was a little pale, and the ominous premonition in his heart was verified at this time, these plague gods want to take root here, in their own homes, the so-called invitation to the gods is easy to send the gods, and they still ran to take the initiative to provoke them.

"General Zheng, you are officers and soldiers, you are the sailors of the imperial court, and Dachu has rich land and excellent ports, why did you come to the depths of the Black Water Ocean to occupy our home?" Yuan Gang's tone was dry and authentic.

The corners of Zheng Zhiyuan's mouth twitched slightly, "Your home?" The shore of the land is not the king's land, isn't this the place of Dachu? Yuan Gang, have you been a pirate for a long time, and you have forgotten that you are a citizen of Da Chu! ”

Yuan Gang smiled bitterly, "Are we still the people of Great Chu?" General Zheng, you are the Fuzhou Naval Division, but you have circumnavigated most of the Great Chu and gone deep into the Heishui Ocean, the meaning is self-evident, although Yuan Gang is a pirate, but he is not a blind person, and he does not know the news, in the past few years, I have also robbed some smuggled merchant ships, and I also know some things about Dachu from those merchants, we are just some small thieves, we just want to live a simple life, and we don't want to get involved in your major affairs. Please be merciful to the general and let us go! ”

Zheng Zhiyuan stared at Yuan Gang intently, and the other party's reaction was beyond his expectations, "What do you know?" Don't talk about it. ”

Yuan Gang took a deep breath and said loudly: "General, your commander intends to fight for the world, you go deep into the Black Water Ocean, and you want to build a base here, you want to deal with Dengzhou, Linzhou and Bozhou's sailors, right?" We are just pirates, we don't want to get involved in such a military event, such things are not done by petty thieves like us, once these things fail, it will be a crime that will harm the nine clans, I am a pirate, even if I miss, I will not let my wife and children lose their heads. ”

Zheng Zhiyuan sneered, "Yuan Gang, you are thinking too simply, let me tell you the truth, since you decided to rob my fleet, you have been involved, and you can't get out." Do you want to be a simple pirate? It's really a joke, when we go deep into the Black Water Ocean, the entire Black Water Ocean will become a battlefield, whether you or other pirates, you can only choose to stand on one side, if you don't stand in line, you will kill yourself, and if you stand on the wrong team, you will die in the future, Yuan Gang, I am now giving you a chance to stand in line, of course, you don't have a choice. ”

Yuan Gang closed his mouth tightly, hung his head, and said nothing.

"You think being a pirate is easy, don't you, you're old, let your son continue to be a pirate, continue to do all this murderous and overly murderous thing at sea with his head up? Yuan Gang, you don't have this chance, and neither do the other pirates. Lianshan Island will become the first base of our Fuzhou Navy Division on the Heishui Ocean, and then, more and more bases will be established on the Heishui Ocean, as the first pirate to take refuge in us, I think your future will be very bright, and, take this opportunity to erase your previous criminal record, become an official naval officer in Dachu, and let your wife and children have a proper and innocent identity, are you still not satisfied? Zheng Zhiyuan said sharply.

Yuan Gang knew very well in his heart that Zheng Zhiyuan was right, there was no second way in front of him, if he refused, then he would be greeted by a merciless killing, and once he died, even the other people on the mountain island had no chance of survival. Dejectedly, he lamented: "The matter has come to this, what can I say, I am a pirate who kills like hemp and has a lot of blood debts on my hands, but General Zheng will not deceive me about what a great future, it is already very good to let my wife and children live, you are right, I really have no choice." ”

Zheng Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Who said that pirates have no future? Yuan Gang, do you know that my Fuzhou general has passed the mountain wind over the general? ”

Yuan Gang shook his head, "I don't know." ”

"General Guo is one of the three main divisions in Fuzhou, the commander of the mountain division, he was also a mountain bandit back then, and he also robbed our marshal and killed many of our marshal's soldiers, but you look at him now, but he is a high-powered, one-man man, Yuan Gang, in my Dingzhou, promotion and wealth never look at your background, as long as you have talent, you will have your beginning."

Hearing Zheng Zhiyuan's words, Yuan Gang's spirit improved a little, "General Guo is your marshal who followed before he made his career, right, is it very different from me?" ”

Zheng Zhiyuan said mysteriously: "What, do you think that my position as the handsome man of my family ends here?" Yuan Gang, aren't you still talking about what my family marshal is planning just now, once the marshal succeeds, no, my marshal will definitely succeed, at that time, you are from the dragon's work, this credit is not small, at least you can shade your children and grandchildren for several generations. ”

Yuan Gang smiled bitterly, "If it fails, then the nine clans will be wiped out." ”

"Whew!" Zheng Zhiyuan took a sip fiercely, "Yuan Gang, I haven't seen my family's handsome, I haven't seen the weather of our two states, I decided to forgive you for what you just said, okay, don't bother, tell me your decision." ”

"General Zheng, do you still want me to tell you, haven't you already decided for me, do I have a second choice?" Yuan Gang Road.

"Of course, you decided for yourself that it was an initiative to take refuge, which is different from the surname I forced you, Yuan Gang, this is the opportunity I gave you, don't you just let it go?" Zheng Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"I'm willing to join the Fuzhou Water Division, General Zheng, you say, what do you want me to do?" Yuan Gang said helplessly.

"The first step is, of course, to appease people's hearts and persuade your subordinates to join my Fuzhou Sailor, well, if you don't want to join our Sailor, you can also settle down on this island, but you can't leave the island, anyway, we are going to build a lot of construction on the island, and they will do something." Zheng Zhiyuan said.

"General Zheng, don't worry, I will persuade them all to join the Fuzhou Naval Division." Yuan Gang stood up, "Shall I go now?" ”

Zheng Zhiyuan said: "Don't be busy, don't be busy, since Yuan Gang has decided to join us, you are your own people, your subordinates are not panicking, I still have something to discuss with you." By the way, Yuan Gang, I am only a small general, and I can't make a wish for you to be an official, but I have decided to send someone back to Dingzhou immediately, and I think when they come back, they should bring your appointment letter with them. ”

"Thank you, General" Yuan Gang hugged his fists and thanked him, thinking that he would soon become a court sailor, he just felt extremely awkward in his heart, "I don't know what the general wants to discuss with me?" ”

Zheng Zhiyuan took out a chart, spread it on the table, and said: "Don't you look at this chart, we will go all the way, and the channel will end at Lianshan Island, you are familiar with this area, you should be able to mark the forward pillar for us a little more, right?" ”

Yuan Gang nodded, "Well, I am very familiar with the waterway from Lianshan Island for four or five hundred miles. ”

Zheng Zhiyuan was overjoyed and handed the pen and ink, "Then there will be labor!" ”

Yuan Gang picked up the pen and deliberately depicted it on the chart, taking advantage of this opportunity, Zheng Zhiyuan sent his own soldiers to recruit Song Invention.

The two waited for Yuan Gang to finish the description, carefully checked it, and they were all happy, Zheng Zhiyuan rolled up the drawings and said: "Introduction, we will all be colleagues in the future, this is the invention of Captain Song of the Fuzhou Navy Zhenwu, and it is the commander of the dust in my advance team, the invention, this is Yuan Gang, well, you will be the commander of the Black Hawk in the future, Yuan Gang, your ship will be called the Black Hawk in the future." ”

"Thank you, General, for the name." Yuan Gang Road.

"I'm going to send Captain Song to return to Fuzhou to report to our commander, and send back this map that has been detected, and we want to build a base on Lianshan Island, we need the master's baggage, although Lianshan Island is not short of wood and generous, but there are still some things that need to be transported in from outside, Invention will go, and you can bring it to us when you come back, of course, and your letter of appointment." Zheng Zhiyuan patted Yuan Gang on the shoulder.

"Thank you, General!"

"Oh, by the way, Yuan Gang, Lianshan Island will soon become a military base, but you still have a lot of women and children here, the old and weak, it is not appropriate for this person to stay here, let the invention take them all back to Dingzhou, where it is safe, they don't have to worry about living in fear, and after they come and go, because they are military dependents, they will demarcate places when they go to Dingzhou, distribute land to them, and don't have to worry about livelihood." Besides, I see that you have a lot of children here, like your son Jiang Yuanliang, it's time to get started, in Lianshan Island, there is not even a gentleman, after a long time, won't it delay the future of the child. Zheng Zhiyuan casually said to Yuan Gang, who was about to leave.

Yuan Gang's heart sank, and he was silent for a moment, but he still nodded and said: "I understand, general, I will ask these people to pack their things immediately and go to Dingzhou with Captain Song." ”

Zheng Zhiyuan was very satisfied with Yuan Gang's wisdom and knowledge, "The marshal will thank you." ”

Looking at the back of Yuan Gang leaving, Song Faming asked with some hesitation: "General, is this person credible?" ”

"Whether it can be trusted or not, you will only know when you use it." Zheng Zhiyuan said: "We are new to the Black Water Ocean, and they are the head snakes of the ground, if we kill them, what will we do if we encounter pirates in the future, kill them all?" Invention, the Black Water Ocean is known as 100,000 pirates, among these people, there are many brave and good fighters, if we can bring one, our enemy will be one less, and our combat power will be stronger. Besides, this Yuan Gang and his subordinates, their families are all in Dingzhou, can they still turn the sky upside down? ”

"The general is far-sighted, and the general admires it." Song invented.

Zheng Zhiyuan laughed, "My own brother, do you need to pat my ass?" Song Mingming also laughed.

Yuan Gang's home, Yuan Feng sat at the table silently, while his Hun family hugged his son and cried loudly.

"Don't cry!" Yuan Gang said distraughtly: "It's good to be able to leave a life, you go to Dingzhou this time, although you are not familiar with the place, and you also have the intention of taking you hostage and coercing us, but maybe it is still an opportunity, I heard that the life of the people there is good, at least you don't have to worry about it anymore, Liangzi can also go to school, follow me on the island, is it possible to really tell that General Zheng that way, and be a pirate in the future?" Anyway, now that I'm also an officer of the imperial court, if there really is that day, you and Ryoko can also enjoy happiness with me. ”

"Am I not worried about you?" The woman cried.

"What is there to worry about!" Yuan Gang waved his hand and said: "Wasn't it more risky to be a pirate in the past, but now it can be regarded as a backer, I think this Fuzhou sailor is extremely well-equipped, much stronger than the three southern sailors I have seen before, you go to Dingzhou and take care of your son." ”
