Nagasaki and Herado off the coast, scattered with a series of islands, because there are five large islands, and called the five islands, Jiajing years, "King of the Pure Sea" Wang Zhi once occupied here, was the Ming Dynasty officially called the head of the Japanese Bandits, later Hu Zongxian recruited Wang Zhi, because of some officials of the imperial court questioned, broke the contract and killed Wang Zhi, but in the five islands area Wang Zhi's influence still exists, until the 21st century, a Japanese ran to Wang Zhi's hometown to build a tomb for him, but because of the characterization of the head of the Japanese Bandits, In the blink of an eye, he was rushed and smashed by two patriots in Nanjing.

The Goto archipelago has many islands, very close to Nagasaki and Heido, and has been a good hiding place for Haikou in the Ming Dynasty, and there are also many private harbors, a fortune ship and a vermilion ship are sailing slowly in this sea area.

Song Wenxian, Han Bin, Black Cannon, Scar, and Chen Xin sat at the bow of the boat, each with a white silk belt wrapped around their heads, Song Wenxian's eyes were slightly red, Black Cannon and Scar were sluggish, and their eyes were blank, Han Bin was depressed with a kind of injustice, and Chen Xin just bowed his head and was silent, and some other sailors sat on the deck. The deck had been washed, but there were still dark red blood stains in many places, and the desolate screams of the wounded could be heard from time to time in the lower cabin.

In the battle the day before yesterday, all 41 people on the ship were killed, including the ten who surrendered, nine sailors were killed and eleven wounded, four of them were seriously wounded, and the ship was filled with pepper, dragon incense, **, as well as 11,000 taels of silver and a small amount of gold. The rough estimate of the goods is more than 60,000 taels, and the price of selling them in Japan will definitely be higher.

Although the harvest is very rich, the most important thing is that Zhao Dongjia and Han Yong were both killed in battle, and without the leader, everyone was a little confused in their hearts, and Lao Wang has been kneeling beside the corpse since Zhao Dongjia lost his breath, and he has not entered a drop of water until now.

Song Wenxian relayed Zhao Dongjia's last words, and it turned out to be Song Wenxian's first to finish this trip, because what he said in the end, only Song Wenxian heard it, although he was an outsider, but his identity was transcendent, representing the power figure behind him, although Han Bin was the second master, when he was on the boat, the popularity was very poor, and the black cannon and others did not accept him at all, and they did not dare to come out to raise objections, Song Wenxian's best thing was that he did not decide alone, but found several influential people such as Black Cannon, Han Bin, and Scar, and in the name of Chen Xin killing two murderers, Pull Chen Xin into the decision-making circle, so that everyone sees that he is not grabbing power, and there is nothing to say.

"Everyone, the big boss is returning to the west, I and the others are sad in their hearts, but there are many brothers on the ship, what should I do now, I am just an outsider, although I am entrusted by the big boss, I still have to listen to your opinions." Song Wenxian broke the silence and began to speak in a low voice.

Han Bin looked left and right, and said preemptively: "I think it is better to ship the goods first, collect the silver, and then talk about the rest, otherwise with two boats, there are few people, in case you touch other ships again, you can't be robbed." ”

Scar glanced at the black cannon and said, "I listen to the black cannon brother." He is what he says. ”

Several people looked at the black cannon, and when he spoke, he looked at the deck, and only raised his head in the middle of the sound: "I followed the big boss at the age of thirteen, and I was born and died until now." He pulled open his shirt suddenly, revealing a scar all over his body, "The big boss saved me three times, my life has long been a big boss, what is the ship, what is the silver, at this time I am thinking about this, I don't know what it is." ”

Han Bin's face was slightly red, and he said angrily: "I didn't say that I didn't think about the big boss, but people can't be resurrected after death, if you can bring the big boss back to life, this silver and the boat will do." ”

Hei Pao didn't look at him, and continued: "What I mean, the big boss has an accident, the family members are not there, I shouldn't have to protect the eldest brother well, the most important thing now is how to preserve the remains of the eldest brother, otherwise how to explain to the lady." ”

Han Bin said: "Is it possible to turn around and go back to Tianjin now, there is no trade, there is no money, so how can I explain to Mr. Song." ”

Scar stood up abruptly and scolded Han Bin fiercely: "Your mother's silver money, silver money, you don't have anything else besides silver." Even if there is money, it is for Madame and Miss, and it is not your turn to share it. ”

Han Bin also stood up and said, "That's not your scar, there's Mr. Song here, what's your name." ”

Song Wenxian hurriedly got up and pulled the two away, sat in the middle while persuading, separated the two, and said: "Don't hurt the harmony between the two of you, the bones of the big boss are not cold, it's really a dispute, how can I be worthy of the trust of the big boss." ”

It was easy to appease the two of them, he saw that Chen Xin had not spoken, and said to Chen Xin: "Although Deputy Chen Cai has just arrived, he killed the two murderers and is a person valued by the big boss, if you have any opinions, you can say it and refer to it together, please don't hesitate to say it." ”

Chen Xin looked at Song Wenxian, he was worried that Song Wenxian saw that scene, and after getting along for the past two days, it seemed that Song Wenxian did not have anything unusual, and let go of some worries. After the battle that day, the dead bodies on the ship were strewn and the limbs were like numbness, and I was really disgusted for two days, only a little food was eaten, and my face looked thinner.

"I think both of them have a point." Chen Xin opened his mouth with a handful of mud at first, although Han Bin had a bad impression of Chen Xin, but after hearing this sentence, he finally changed his opinion a little, and the black cannon and the scar also turned their heads to look at it.

"The big boss is my benefactor, I want me Chen Xin to fall into the customs from Liaodong, to be appreciated by the big boss, to give a heavy responsibility, and finally to settle down in Tianjin, if there is no big boss, how can I Chen Xin today, I don't know how to repay the grace of this encounter, I am the same as you, I can't wait to replace my body, in exchange for the life of the big boss."

Chen Xin's magnetic voice spoke slowly, more infectious than a simple howl, the black cannon and the scar's eyes turned red again, and the other sailors on the deck slowly leaned over.

"However, the sky is unsatisfactory, to accept the big boss and become an immortal as soon as possible, the only thing I can do for the big boss is to take care of the big boss's family, how to take care of it, the first one, the living people have to think, we have to bring something back. I don't know what you think. After this is done, the goods can be disposed of as soon as possible according to what the second master said. Chen Xin said for a long time, but in fact, he still put Han Bin's opinion behind.

Hei Pao didn't ask Han Bin anymore, and said, "I can hear what Brother Chen said, so you can tell me how to bring the law." ”

Chen Xindao: "Everyone, it's June, the sea is hot and humid, today is the second day, if you go back to Tianjin, at least more than ten days, it's too late, if you break the body of the big boss, we will be a greater sin." Even if we bring it back to Tianjin, how dare we let Madame and Miss come to see it. ”

Black Cannon and Scar glanced at each other, and knew that this was also the truth, and the brothers who had died before at sea were all thrown into the sea, and none of them could carry so far.

Song Wenxian didn't speak when he saw the others, and continued: "If everyone has no opinion, this matter cannot be delayed any longer, if according to Brother Chen's opinion, is it cremated or buried at sea, and only the clothes are left?" ”

Black Cannon and Scar rushed to say: "Cremation, there are always ashes, what kind of thoughts is that dress." ”

Han Bin said loudly: "How to cremate on the ship, we have to go to the Li family's private port." ”

Song Wenxian hesitated and said: "When you go to someone's place, what if you don't allow it." His eyes looked at Chen Xin again.

Chen Xin secretly scolded this Song Wenxian, he is a leader, everything is decided by others, and he does not take any responsibility. Think about it and say, "Find a small island, go up on a boat with firewood, and find firewood for cremation." ”

Han Bin said angrily to Chen Xin: "How long will it take, together with the fireworks, what should I do if I encounter other pirates." ”

"I'm your mother!" Scar slammed Han Bin to the ground, his hands kept fighting, Han Bin hurriedly protected his head and face, Chen Xin sat in his position and didn't move, this Han Bin really hated it, and he didn't know how to look at the fire at all, he deserved to be beaten. The sailors on the deck saw that the fight was going on, and they all gathered around, and Lu Donkey was slightly injured, so he came to see that Chen Xin was okay and went back to sit.

Song Wenxian called Zhu Guobin, and finally pulled the two apart, Han Bin was broken and bleeding, and he kept scolding through Song Wenxian.

Song Wenxian suddenly yelled: "Enough!" If you two still want to fight, I'll let you two be the ones who pick the lead. ”

These two people saw that Song Wenxian was angry, and finally stopped talking, Han Bin's popularity was very poor, but after all, there were also a few intimate subordinates, Han Yong and Black Cannon couldn't control them, except for Song Wenxian, they really couldn't find a leader.

Song Wenxian glanced at the two of them angrily, and then said to a few people: "This matter is according to what Chen Accounts said, find a small island with trees to dock, and bring firewood to cremate the big boss......"

Chen Xin suddenly interjected: "Mr. Song, I haven't finished talking yet, in addition to the big boss, the other fallen brothers who know where they live will also be cremated and sent home, and those who don't know where they live will be buried on the island and marked, if they can find their families in the future, they will always return to their roots." On the same day, he promised to snatch the 100 taels of silver and the head of the silver on the Zhuyin ship, and asked Mr. Song to be the master, and first sent it to the brothers, and it happened that there was also cash on the Zhuyin ship, which was desperately obtained by the brothers, and it should be distributed to reassure people's hearts. The brothers who died, those who know their hometowns, when they go back, send the reward and the head silver to each family, and as for whether the rest will be compensated, it depends on how many people decide. ”

All the onlookers looked at Chen Xin in amazement at the same time, they had never considered the other dead people, including the sailors, the sailors who died before were thrown into the sea, because there were big bosses and Han Yong who died this time, so they were all kept, but no one would think that they should be sent home.

Han Bin was so angry that his face turned red, he originally thought that the cremation would delay time and easily expose the location of the ship, but now that Chen Xin actually wanted to cremate them all, how much firewood would need to be fetched, and how many pits would be dug. Fortunately, he didn't dare to scold Scar for the beating just now, but said coldly: "Chen Accounts is a good idea, but do you know how much more time it will take to do this, in case other pirates find out in the middle, you can afford this responsibility." ”

Song Wenxian squinted his eyes and didn't speak, Chen Xin still said lightly: "Everyone on this boat is a mother who is pregnant in October, and a handful of and urine are brought out, and they have been working hard for decades, who doesn't have a father and mother brothers and sisters, don't the second masters think that they shouldn't have a thought." ”

Han Bin said: "They thought about it, where do you put the remaining brothers on the ship, in case they are discovered by other pirates, and everyone is killed, where will their family go to find Nianxiang." ”

"Can the second boss guarantee that he won't run into Haikou if he is not cremated? We are all willing to go to sea, life and death, if we are afraid of this, it is better to farm at home. I Chen Xin only do things with my conscience, my father and mother have worked hard to raise them for decades, and they died in this wasteland, so we can't spend half a day to let them rest in peace? If you really die for this, then I, Chen Xin, will also admit it. With that, he stood up and turned to the sailors gathered on the deck and said, "Everyone has heard, would you like to die one day without one to bury your bones and bring your soul home?" The dead are all your companions who get along day and night, and those who want to go with me to bury their companions, step forward. ”

Zhu Guobin stood up without hesitation: "Mr. Chen, I'll go with you." ”

After a short silence, more than a dozen sailors took a step forward despite Han Bin's vicious eyes, and Wang Zugui said to Chen Xin: "Mr. Chen, you are right, there is a person from our village inside, I want to take him home." ”

Han Bin's face turned pale with anger, and he was about to complain to Song Wenxian, but he heard Song Wenxian say loudly next to him: "It is worthy of being a righteous brother brought out by the big boss, and I am also Song Daoshi." In addition, according to what Chen Caifu said, the rewards of the brothers were sent first. ”

Han Bin instantly became a fossil. The sailors cheered, and the dreary air on board was renewed.
