Linglong, Jiang Chengbi and Xiong Zhan have been killed for a long time, and although their reactions are slightly slower than Yang Zhi's, it is not difficult to see that Yingniang has the intention of killing people with a knife.

After Xiong Zhan agreed to merge >>, the two elites gathered on Dangji Island.

If Yingniang uses the current power in her hands to design a counterattack, it is tantamount to asking for her own death, and this possibility is obviously very small.

Surrendering in disguise to a strong enemy who had killed someone on his side a few days earlier, no matter how tempting the conditions were, was always a humiliating thing.

Ying Niang herself weighed the pros and cons, and should be willing to merge in her bones.

But the men and horses under his command are all the old bottoms of the husband's family, and it is not a big problem to lead them into their own family to plunder at sea, and it must be extremely difficult to convince everyone if they want to change their flag overnight.

For Yingniang, whether it is from the current situation or in the long run, it is obviously unrealistic to carry out an internal cleaning by yourself.

>> even if it is a disguised surrender, it is necessary to pay attention to the art of method, and it is also necessary to consider the elimination of future troubles.

Yingniang responded so quickly to bring people to the island to renegotiate, and it seemed that the final decision on whether to merge was handed over to her confidants who disagreed with herds, but in fact, she knew very well in her heart: Yang Zhi had already made it clear that he was saluting first and then soldiering, and put down a high-pressure situation of forming an alliance under the city.

She didn't dare to expect these people under her command to turn the situation dramatically, and she didn't even dare to hope that Yang Zhi would have room to bargain with them.

Are you not convinced?

OK.

I don't want to be saddled with the infamy of cannibalism, so I have to lead you here to die!

At noon on the second day of >>, the pirates in charge of patrolling the sea and looking at the land came to report: Yingniang led a large fleet of ships to spread mightily!

The fleet consisted of forty-seven large and small vessels.

Among them, there were 16 large ships and 31 small boats, and the number of men and horses on board was unknown.

>> so copied the family background and brought it out for negotiation, which contained too much intriguing information.

It can be understood that Yingniang did not leave a way out for herself in order to express her determination to Yang Zhi.

The henchmen under her put on such a posture.

It's nothing more than wanting to have the courage to be fearless.

Even if the negotiation failed, Yang Zhi turned his face blatantly, asking himself if he still had the capital to fight with it.

There are elements of Ying Niang putting them together.

It also shows that there are no talents in this group who can plan the overall situation.

If you really want to prepare for both, it is enough to select two representatives who are really not afraid of death to accompany Yingniang, why bother to mobilize the crowd so much?

Is Yang Zhi a person who can bluff casually?

>> in the end, they greatly underestimated Yang Zhidi's appetite.

The two days before and after the wedding made you swagger back and forth, which was already upset to him.

No matter what the outcome of the negotiation is this time, can I still let you go back?

This is clearly sending sheep into the tiger's mouth!

As soon as >> Yingniang's fleet approached the waters of Dangji Island, many people were a little drummed in their hearts: two other fleets of the same size appeared on the sea, becoming a "welcome in the middle of the road"

One left and one right came up.

On >> Yingniang's side, including herself, there were five negotiators who landed on the shore, and no less than 50 pirates accompanied her to escort her.

Yang Zhi is the negotiator on this side.

But there are only him and Linglong and his wife, Liu Er, Chang San, Zeng Liu, and Zhu Linger, who are dressed as new servants, are on the side.

After >> the guests and hosts took their seats, Yang Zhi went straight to the point and said: "As the saying goes, one day is better than three autumns, and it is a great honor for my wife and you to come again in just a few days. As you must have seen, in order to welcome your arrival, Mr. Jiang and Boss Xiong led a group of brothers to the sea to greet you. About how the three merged. I explained this in detail to my wife the day before yesterday. I wonder what you've thought about it? Feel free to speak your mind today. ”

>> Yingniang was too impressed by his seemingly friendly lazy smile, bowed her head slightly, coughed lightly and turned back to the two people sitting on her left and smiled: "After the concubine went back, she truthfully conveyed the meaning of the Hou Ye to her brothers overnight, and the two brothers thought that there was something worth considering. What do you two think of the merger plan proposed by Hou Ye? At this time, you might as well talk about it in person, or discuss it with Hou Ye in the long run. ”

>> one of the two can be called Yang Zhi's acquaintance, Huang Pin, who is known as one of the three King Kongs under Yingniang, has fought with Yang Zhi.

In Yang Zhi's eyes, these two people must be diehards who resolutely oppose the merger, and Yingniang wants to use his hand to eradicate the dissidents.

But he didn't mind Ying Niang borrowing his butcher's knife, and he was happy to carry the black pot for her.

>> die-hard pirates like Yingniang, who has been bandits for generations, will not have any long-term concept in their minds at all, and the only belief is the word profit.

There is a way that those who know the times are handsome, and those who are selfish and selfish are all there.

It is certainly understandable to know that you are doing what is best for you.

But you have to see who the other party is.

You can't bargain casually in front of some people, such as this uncle with a kind smile like the guy next door.

>> so-called "long-term" from the long term to the end

To what extent.

It all depends on whether Huang Pin and the others can figure out the current situation in time.

It's a pity that the two of them are still full of ridiculous arrogance, and Yingniang sighed in her heart, I'm afraid that the lives of these two people have entered the countdown.

>> Huang Pin still didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and said with a smile: "Feihu Hou, I heard my wife relay your merger plan the day before yesterday, and I was stunned. I have also drawn up a plan and come to discuss with you today. ”

>> as long as you are not blind, you can see that Huang Pin is not so much here to negotiate today, but to demonstrate to find fault, or to find death.

Not only did he leave Yingniang aside and didn't take her seriously, but he also put himself and Yang Zhi in the same position without knowing it.

Yingniang's eyes were cold and expressionless, and the two people sitting on her right were also frowning and worried.

>> Yang Zhi glanced out of the corner of his eye inadvertently, and smiled disapprovingly: "If I'm not mistaken, this is Brother Huang, right?" Brother Huang doesn't have to be polite, what is the opinion, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

>> Huang Pin can be among the three major King Kongs under Ying Niang, but he is not entirely a foolish worm who relies on martial arts: "Flying Tiger Marquis, the proposal of taking you as the king of the island, forming a joint fleet, and collecting silver to engage in business is very good, but there are only two small things I dare not agree with." When it comes to the people and momentum of the ships, we are all superior. The commander of the combined fleet should be assigned by us. It is advisable for the three banks to be allocated and disbursed in two places, and we should also be in charge. As long as you can take on these two little things, then everything is negotiable. I wonder if the Flying Tiger Marquis thinks so? ”

>>You want both the command and financial power of the fleet, so who is annexing whom?

Hand these two things over and they will become meat in your pot, and I have a false name for a fart?

>> "Great idea! Mrs. Yingniang, how about we have a toast for Brother Huang's good idea? ”

Yang Zhi actually praised the case, waved his hand to Zeng Liu and Zhu Ling'er casually and smiled: "Why don't you go over and pour wine for your distinguished guests?" ”

>> Linglong looked up and saw that Chen Wu's figure had appeared outside the door, and he also nodded at the two.

Yingniang smiled: "How can a cheap concubine live up to the good intentions of the Hou Ye? ”

>> Huang Pin never expected Yang Zhi to be so refreshing, and instinctively felt that things might not be so simple.

Zeng Liu and Zhu Ling'er are two servants and maids with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, he has a strong martial arts, and they can't play any tricks in front of him, so he just smiles and waits quietly.

>>But what Huang Pin didn't expect was that these two ordinary servants, a man and a woman, walked three steps in front of him and the two of them, and they would suddenly attack with lightning speed!

Until the dagger in the hand of the indifferent servant girl pierced her throat, the smile on Huang Pin's face was still not restricted, her eyes were as big as copper bells, and her death was quite weird.

>> Yingniang's face sat still as usual, and the other two got up and looked at each other in shock.

Dozens of guards behind him first drew their swords and stepped forward, but when they saw this scene, they all stopped on the spot with each other looking at each other, not knowing what to do.

>> Yang Zhi shook his head and said, "Brother Huang should know what his idea is good at this moment, isn't it just so good that he can't afford to die?" I dare say that all your brothers who are waiting on the ship have agreed, and those who really don't want to merge must have followed Brother Huang as well. Mrs. Yingniang, as well as these two brothers, I don't know if there is any objection to the merger? ”

>> Yingniang was silent for a long time, and sighed sadly: "Master Hou, the matter has come to this, what else can the concubine say?" I just hope that I can have the face to see my late husband underground in the future! ”

On November 27, the 25th year of Wucheng in >> Xia, the three most powerful pirates in the Beiyan Sea officially announced their merger and entered the stage of integration in an all-round way.

>> Yang Zhi was well aware of the importance of propaganda to reassure people's minds, and his idea of merger was compiled and written into an easy-to-understand and highly inflammatory text by several gunmen under Jiang Chengbi, who were proficient in writing and ink, and thousands of people had a copy each.

For most people, with the hope of a peaceful life, who wants to be a pirate for the rest of their lives?

The infighting of the group that Yang Zhi was most worried about did not appear, and after about ten days, the wait-and-see mood of the pirates gradually calmed down.

Xiong Zhan's military law was subsequently promulgated, and the various teams divided into categories began to be formed.

>> merger went much smoother than Yang Zhi and his wife had imagined, and according to Yang Zhi's plan, it was time for him to go ashore.

On the ninth day of December, Yang Zhi and Linglong said goodbye and left Dangji Island to return to Penglai.

>> Qin Jiaoyang had returned in advance, and as soon as they met, he told Yang Zhi a news that was not salty or light.

Li Zikuan, the prefect of Jinan, sent someone to reply: The one million silver needed by the Flying Tiger Marquis to protect the territory and the people against piracy must be fully prepared, and it will be delivered in full in a few days, and I implore the Hou Ye to remove the soldiers and horses blocking several roads in and out of Penglai first.

>> Yang Zhi didn't eat him at all, and he ordered the blockade to continue without thinking about it.

If you withdraw the soldiers and horses first, if you find an excuse to delay it, can I really rush to Jinan to kill you?

I'm sorry, but the money will be withdrawn the day it arrives.

Asking anyone for money is not as practical as collecting money myself, the longer the blockade lasts, the more money will be collected, and I wish it would be better to seal the for ten or eight years.

Withdraw troops?

What do you think Lao Tzu is sick?

>> Yang Zhi is very optimistic that the exclusive monopoly of the sea and land is just around the corner, and the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods from all sides will soon come to the door to beg him.

To his surprise, there was no news from the emperor this time.

Didn't the emperor want to celebrate the New Year in the Southern Tang Dynasty?
