Chapter Fifty-Eight: Bandit Workers
Zheng Guang was originally a pirate in the coastal area of Bowan in Lingnan, calling himself 'Rolling Sea Jiao', but he was bold, and the sea robbers have always only sought wealth and not killed people, and unlike other islands, Zheng Guang would not loot the merchant ships every time, but would leave a part of the goods that were enough for the merchants to make a small profit.
This nickname is full of rough mouth, which translates to the meaning of lobster, and the sea Jiao who turns his hands into clouds and covers his hands into rain has a natural difference from the underground, but it is precisely because of this nickname that Zheng Guang embarked on a different life path.
At the beginning of the sixth year of Zhenguan, a group of caravans came from the distant Chang'an, saying that it was a caravan, but the style of this caravan was more vigorous than that of the army, just like the name of the caravan - 'Xujia Lingnan Pioneer Caravan', the purpose of this caravan was to open up a base for merchants to do business in the flooded Lingnan.
At that time, when they heard the news, the bandits and pirates in Lingnan were all gearing up, and they wanted to teach this caravan a lesson, so that they could know who was the real master of the land of Lingnan.
But on the second day of the caravan stationed in Quanzhou City, Hongfeng Village, known as the first cottage in Lingnan, was jointly exterminated by the guards of this caravan and the government. I didn't expect the other party to be so generous as soon as he made a move. Hongfeng Village has been entrenched in Quanzhou for many years. The number of bandits is as high as more than 2,000 people, and the government has organized several times to suppress bandits, each time they are all gone, so the fame of Hongfeng Village is getting bigger and bigger, and it has always been known as the first bandit village in Lingnan.
But now, the other party took Hongfeng Village for the first time to suppress the bandits, and it actually succeeded. Two days later, the Changfeng Gang, known as the No. 1 Pirate Gang in Lingnan, was completely wiped out, and no one in the whole gang escaped, and all of them were arrested in the prison of the government.
At this moment, the bandits and bandits in the Lingnan area blew up the pot, and they all inquired about the origin of this caravan, but the bandits' nightmare was not over, and the caravan and the government's bandits had no intention of stopping. The Three Guns Gang, the Langtou Gang, and the Xue Family Bandit Village, these top pirate gangs and bandit villages have been attacked. Within half a month, dozens of ruffian bandits' gathering places were solved near Quanzhou, and for a time the breath of the entire Lingnan was invigorated, and Quanzhou, which has always been called 'bandits', has appeared a miracle that no one dared to loot for half a month.
Zheng Guang was arrested in the official prison during that period, he happened to be drinking with his brothers that day, and as a result, countless shouts of killing sounded outside the camp, Zheng Guang went out with a big knife for a long time to save his brother, but just kicked open the door and saw a middle-aged man in a dark blue chivalrous uniform, the man's martial arts were simply superb, and he was beaten without any power to fight back within a few moves, and he was caught in the prison of the government by the officials who followed behind.
According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, those who follow the bandits and thieves will be killed, and most of them will be dragged to the streets of the city to behead the public, so Zheng Guang in prison has given up hope, but he didn't expect that in prison, he met the man who served the dark blue man again.
"Your name is Zheng Guang? The deputy leader of the Bohai Gang? The one nicknamed 'Rolling Prawns'? ”
"Lao Tzu Xing doesn't change his name, he doesn't change his surname, I am Zheng Guang, nicknamed Rolling Haijiao, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it."
"That's you, I heard that your reputation in this Lingnan generation is not bad? Roll the sea Jiao, roll the shrimp, this nickname is also interesting, I heard that you never rob the robbing, always leave a lot of things for others, why? ”
"In these years, if anyone wants to be a thief, my family's fifty acres of land were robbed by the landlord Cai, and if they were not thieves, they would be starved to death, and I knew that it was not easy for those businessmen to live, so I only robbed some tolls."
Having said this, the man in blue turned around and left, Zheng Guang also thought that he was hopeless, but he didn't expect that a few hours later, several officials came in and opened the handcuffs and shackles for themselves, took themselves and many brothers who had some friendships in the rivers and lakes, got into a carriage, and then drove to a huge factory......
Recalling this, Zheng Guang wiped the sweat on his forehead, the tamped wooden buckle still needs screws to fix, this is a delicate job, only a shipwright like himself who has worked in the shipyard for two or three years can be proficient, I don't know what's wrong, I dreamed of my previous life last night, so I was a little uneasy all day today, and I will always unconsciously compare those past lives with the current life.
Everyone thinks that when a pirate is a chic job, drinking wine in a big bowl, eating meat, and robbing people when they see them, it is really a happy life, but only those who have really been pirates know the hard work of pirates, and the sky and the earth, there is no danger of fighting with the sea, no one knows that when there is no harvest in two months, the pirates are hungry and cold, and no one knows that they did not return in time when they encountered a storm, and they were alone and helpless.
And now, Zheng Guang breathed a sigh of relief, he finally lived a normal life, Zheng Guang loves the shipbuilding work in the shipyard, every screw, every plank, these are all in their own efforts, the achievement of the last huge sea ship, this sense of accomplishment is unprecedented, when the pirates are sabotage, only now, can I feel that I am really contributing.
In fact, this is exactly what the huge banner hung at Xujialingnan Shipyard reads: "The meaning of life lies in work, work, and contributing to Datang to realize self-worth." ”……
In the huge shipyard, Li Er had already made a round, and finally his eyes were still on the conspicuous banner, only to see him staring at the banner with blazing eyes and said, "This sentence was also written by Guiguzi?" ”
A middle-aged man on the side hurriedly said, "Lord Hui Imperial Envoy, it is written by the head of the family." ”
Li Er squinted his eyes and said approvingly: "It's well written, this imperial history thinks that this banner can not only be hung in this shipyard, but all the factories of my Datang should have such a banner." ”
"What Mishi said is very true."
Li Er shook his head, and said a little tiredly: "The more than 1,000 workers in this shipyard are actually former mountain bandits and bandits, which is really an eye-opener for this imperial history, Guiguzi's stroke is not a small achievement, but a great achievement of blessing my Tang Dynasty for a long time. ”
"Then thank you, Lord Goshi." …… (To be continued......)
