Chapter 21: The Showdown
Under the orders of Xiaotian and Liu Laoliu, the ship first traveled eastward for a distance, and then began to turn to sail northward, and when the ship sailed north for more than a day, the people on board did not find that there were pirates catching up, so this heart gradually returned to the stomach.
At this point, according to Liu Laoliu's judgment, it should have been out of the range of the Sea Harrier's potential, according to their route and speed, the ship has come here, and the pirates have not caught up, so there is basically no need to worry about the Sea Harrier's people catching up with them, and in the vast sea of this era, it is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack if the pirates want to track a ship, so the people on the ship don't have to worry too much.
And taking advantage of this day, Yu Xiaotian chatted a lot with Liu Laoliu, and basically figured out more things, through the communication with Liu Laoliu and other people on the ship, he confirmed that it was similar to what he initially guessed, and the era he came to was really June of the second year of the Apocalypse, for this era, Yu Xiaotian didn't know much, he only knew that at this time, the ruler in the Beijing Imperial Palace was the Emperor of the Apocalypse, that is, Zhu Youxiao of Ming Xizong.
For the Emperor of the Apocalypse, what he knows more is that this Ming Emperor is not at the right level, but he is a very playful emperor, and he can be called a skilled carpenter, he spent more time as an emperor doing carpentry work, and the government was controlled by Wei Zhongxian.
Although he didn't know if the Emperor of the Apocalypse had favored Wei Zhongxian now, let Wei Zhongxian grasp the power, and play with the government and politics, but it was estimated that it was about the same, anyway, Liu Laoliu, who was a small citizen, and these people on the ship, it was impossible for them to know these things.
Of course, although Liu Laoliu and they are not very clear about the situation of state affairs, but more or less they still heard some rumors about state affairs, Liu Laoliu also told Yu Xiaotian that now Sichuan, Guizhou and other places are also making chaos, it seems that there is a guy surnamed Luxury, and there is a guy surnamed An, who is making trouble, and the Ming army has fought a lot of defeats, and the specific situation is not very clear.
In addition, Liaodong Jiannu is said to be also rampant, the Ming army has been defeated repeatedly, and now Liaodong is almost occupied by the Eastern Tartars, I really don't know what the situation will be in the future!
For Liu Laoliu they said, Yu Xiaotian thought about it for a while, and guessed that the Sichuan Guizhou Rebellion they said should be the more famous Luxury Rebellion in history, and the luxury should refer to Sichuan Tusi Luxury Chongming, and An should be Guizhou Tusi An Bangyan, they seem to want to revive what Yi nationality country, so they took advantage of the imperial court to transfer them to aid Liao, participated in the attack on the Jiannu Tartars, and took the opportunity to raise troops to make a rebellion. It seems that it was not until the Chongzhen period that it was completely pacified by the imperial court, and it caused great losses to Sichuan and Guizhou and other places over the years.
As for the situation in Liaodong, there is no need for Liu Laoliu to say more, Yu Xiaotian is still more familiar with this period of history, and now the head of Jiannu's wild boar skin has been powerful, the last year of Wanli, specifically the years of Wanli, Yu Xiaotian can't remember clearly, but he knows that the Ming Dynasty sent troops into Liao to suppress Jiannu, and as a result, the two sides launched a decisive battle in Salhu, Jiannu won a complete victory under the leadership of the wild boar skin, the Ming army was defeated and suffered heavy losses, and the Ming army lost more than half of the losses, and lost countless heavy weapons. The momentum and even strength of Jiannu have been unprecedentedly developed, and the Ming Dynasty has basically lost the initiative in the military of Liaodong because of the defeat in this battle, and since then it has turned to a defensive position outside the pass, and the situation in Liaodong has been completely eroded.
In fact, at this time, the Ming Dynasty has entered the last years, in addition to the Liaodong Jiannu rebellion in the north, the Luxury Rebellion in the south, coupled with the impact of the abnormal climate in the Xiaoice River era on the Ming Dynasty, making the northern provinces disaster-plagued, Shaanxi side is estimated that the peasant uprising also began to make trouble, although the Ming Dynasty barely stumbled and persisted for more than 20 years, but finally perished in the hands of the peasant rebel army, resulting in the Qing army entering the customs to unify China.
So for Xiaotian, the era he came to is really not a good time, it is really a house leak and even rainy, it is unlucky enough to cross, but unlucky to be unlucky, God just threw him into this era! It can really be said that when people are unlucky, they stuff their teeth when they drink cold water, and they hit their heels when they fart.
But now Yu Xiaotian doesn't care much about these things, his current situation is not good, he is more concerned about how he can survive in a short period of time, as for what kind of chaos the world will be in the future, it is not something he needs to consider at all for the time being.
Although he treated Han Xian, Zhao Si, and Liu Laoliu for wounds, the three of them were tossed enough to almost die of pain, and at that time, it was estimated that they had the heart to strangle Xiaotian! But the three of them still understood why Yu Xiaotian wanted to do this, and fundamentally Yu Xiaotian was still for the good of the three of them, so after the incident, the three of them still had inexhaustible feelings for Xiaotian to do this.
They actually knew very well that at this time, injuries like theirs were likely to kill them when there was a lack of medical treatment at sea, and Yu Xiaotian's efforts to debride and heal their injuries could save their lives to a large extent.
Liu Laoliu scolded Yu Xiaotian for a long time yesterday because it was too painful during debridement, and also scolded Yu Xiaotian for being a veterinarian, but after the incident, Liu Laoliu still made a lot of compensation to Yu Xiaotian, Yu Xiaotian smiled very generously, and he also knew very well how much pain he would bring to the injured if he treated the wound so roughly.
However, after Yu Xiaotian's cleanup, the method he used was still relatively effective, and after the next day, the injuries of the three people were alleviated, only Zhao Si alone may be because of his weak body, resulting in the wound condition is not very good, a little fever, Han Xian and Liu Laoliu did not have a fever, and the wound did not appear seriously infected, as long as you pay attention to wound hygiene in the future, it is estimated that the problem will not be too big, which makes Liu Laoliu and Han Xian very grateful to Xiaotian, and on this day, they have a lot of respect for Xiaotian.
Liu Lao Liu was injured on the buttocks, and Zhao Si was injured on the thighs, so they were a little inconvenient to move, but Han Xian's main wound was on the upper body, and after the wound under the ribs was wrapped, he could walk freely, but his left arm could not move casually, and he could already do something for the ship.
By the afternoon of the next day, the people on board had once again seen the shoreline at the edge of the sky, and everyone was a little more relaxed.
It was also at this time that Feng Scarry finally couldn't help but attack Yu Xiaotian, and when the ship was moving downwind, Feng Scarry began to greet several people on the boat, saying that he wanted to discuss what to do next.
So Yu Xiaotian sneered in his heart and walked up to them to see what good show Feng Scar could play for him.
Feng Scar pretended to greet the people on the boat to the stern of the boat, but did not include Han Xian and Zhao Si, and said to everyone: "Everyone! Now the situation on the ship is not much for me Feng Cheng (Feng Scar), the big guys are watching with their eyes open! Now that the owner is no longer there, we are either invited by the owner or the family and relatives of the owner, so we should always take out a charter and talk about what to do next!
Although there are not many people on the boat in front of you, there must be someone to talk to, right? You can't just go on in a daze, so someone has to come out to take charge! You say, don't you?
Besides, there is not much water on the boat, so we should find a place to rest on the shore and replenish some water on the boat, otherwise, the little water left on our ship will not last back at all! ”
When he said this, he glanced at Yu Xiaotian, and saw that Yu Xiaotian was holding his arms and looking at him expressionlessly, as if he didn't mean to be mad, so he continued to look at the other people on the boat.
Li Jizi seemed to have reached an agreement with Feng Scar, and after listening to Feng Scar's words, he immediately nodded his head and said yes, and from time to time he stole a careful glance at Yu Xiaotian, and said: "What Brother Feng Cheng said is reasonable!" Let's come out this time, things have come to such a point, we always have to come up with a solution, right? There is always someone to call the shots! ”
And Hu Cheng, the man who acted as a temporary helmsman, also had a very ambiguous attitude at this time, nodding again and again, but did not speak, but it could be seen that he also agreed with Feng Scar's suggestion.
Only that Liu Tong behaved a little abnormally after listening to Feng Scar's words, at this time he was the only relative of Liu Chuandong on the ship, although he was a distant relative, he was always a relative of the side, Feng Scar's proposal today, it was clear that he wanted to help him out and confront Yu Xiaotian, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Tong was silent, just lowered his head and looked at his feet, so that people couldn't guess his thoughts.
Liu Lao Liu held on to the side of the boat at this time, stood aside and sneered: "Feng Scar, what idea do you have, just say it clearly!" But don't even think about the landing! ”
Feng Scar took a deep breath, and at a glance, a clear-eyed person knew that this guy was a strong outsider, but he still said strongly: "I said Liu Laoliu, this is your mistake!" This ship belongs to the Liu family, and now although the shopkeeper Liu is no longer there, this ship is still the Liu family, no one can say anything, isn't it?
At present, this transaction must not be done without the shopkeeper, if I want to say that we should sail the ship back, hand over the cargo to the Liu family, and let the family of the shopkeeper Liu dispose of it! You are hired by the shopkeeper Liu, after you go back, you should find the shopkeeper to settle the salary, and your salary will be settled, what to do next, it should be the shopkeeper Liu's family who has the final say! The big guy said yes?
There is also the shopkeeper Liu on this ship, but Liu Tong is the uncle and brother of the shopkeeper Liu, who can speak more than him? In my opinion, now the big guy still listens to Liu Tong's orders! ”
Without waiting for Feng Scara to finish speaking, Liu Lao Liu didn't agree, and snorted with a sneer: "Feng Scar! Lao Tzu understands what your kid is up to! You don't want to think about it, you're just a dog of the Liu family! Now that the shopkeeper is dead, even if you bring this boat back, what benefits can the Liu family give you? Could it be that I can get rid of your slavery and give you this boat? ”
Feng Scar's face tightened, glared at Liu Lao Liu and scolded: "Liu Lao Liu! I've long seen that you're not a good old bastard, you've been on the boat for the past two years, pretending to be a good person, and now I've seen that you're fucking fighting this boat and the cargo on board!
Tell you, what's wrong with me being a member of the Liu family? This ship and this cargo belong to the Liu family, and you can't be in charge here! You still have to be honest, after you go back, Lao Tzu will say a few good words for you at Liu's house, give you more wages, and you can go to care for the elderly wherever you should go! Otherwise, it's not in your interest! ”
Yu Xiaotian silently sneered in his heart and watched Feng Gouzi arguing with Liu Laoliu there, but he never spoke, and he didn't even put his hand on the handle of the knife on his waist.
However, he saw that Feng Scar quietly put a hand behind his back, and there seemed to be a guy tugged in his waist, and Li Jizi seemed to be hiding a guy in the pile of debris on the side, and he had been stealing his eyes and sweeping to the side, his eyes wandered, and the nervous expression on his face had already betrayed him.
Even Hu Cheng's gaze swept to the side from time to time, also looking very nervous, and the atmosphere on the ship immediately began to tense at this moment, as if as long as there was a spark, it would immediately detonate.
"Feng Scar! You don't have to pretend here! Don't pretend how loyal you are to the Liu family! Isn't your kid thinking about the little maid surnamed Li of the Liu family? You just want to get that little maid to be your wife by sending the boat back! Bah! You don't pee on your virtue!
In the past two years, he has often found fault to deduct the big guy's wages, and often defaults on his wages. The big guy's butt is not clean, he knows it, but he just wants to use this to let the big guy do it for nothing!
We risk feeding the fish at any moment, and we are tired of working for him, but he eats and drinks well on the boat, and looks at what he gives us to eat? Lao Tzu didn't want to do it for him for a long time, and now this ship would have been saved from us if it weren't for Brother Yu's desperate efforts to repel the pirates, and this ship would have been saved with us. Why are you arrogant here?
To put it bluntly, the big guy can stand here alive and gasp for breath! This is all thanks to my brother, and now I think the big guys should listen to him! Liu Tong! Isn't that the reason for you? ”
Liu Lao Liu suddenly turned his head and pointed at Liu Tong, who had not spoken.
As Liu Laoliu's words landed, Feng Scar, Li Jizi, and Hu Cheng immediately turned their heads to look at Liu Tong, and Liu Tong, who had not spoken, slowly raised his head until this time, glanced at Yu Xiaotian, and glanced at the other people on the boat. You dog! At this time, do you recognize Lao Tzu as a relative of Shopkeeper Liu? But before that? Did Shopkeeper Liu ever treat me as a relative? Even you dare to fucking bully Lao Tzu, and now that you think about it, Lao Tzu is a relative of Liu Bentang? Want to lift Lao Tzu out for you? Phew! ”
Feng Scar's face was like a punch, not to mention how wonderful his expression was! At first, his face was confused, then shocked and angry, and then he turned into fear, his face turned into the color of pig liver, and he pointed at Liu Tong with one hand and shouted: "Liu Tong! Didn't we say yes last night? Do you deal with both of them together? You...... You...... How did you......? ”
Liu Tong shook his head and said, "You dog is really eye-opening!" What good will it do Lao Tzu to get the ship and cargo back? The shopkeeper never regarded Lao Tzu as a relative, but treated Lao Tzu as a human being, do you think Lao Tzu will have the same heart as him?
In fact, you don't know what to do, why did Lao Tzu come to help him run the boat!
Today, Lao Tzu might as well tell you the truth, you probably don't know the Tao at all, that Liu Bentang (Liu Shopkeeper) is actually my Liu Tong's enemy! I think that he took advantage of my father's illness to secretly ask people to borrow usury to me, and later instructed Lang Zhong to cheat me out of my money, and killed my father, so that people secretly plotted to rob the An family's property!
He thought it was seamless, but he didn't know that Lao Tzu later noticed that something was wrong, and then dozens of acres of good land in our family were actually transferred to his hands, and I became suspicious at that time, so it took me more than half a year to find the fake foot Langzhong, and when I beat him half to death, that Langzhong told me about it 1510! Since that day, Lao Tzu has been looking for an opportunity to avenge this murderous father!
When he did that, did he ever regard Lao Tzu as his relative? You asked Lao Tzu to help you, it's really blind to your dog's eyes! It's a pity that Lao Tzu didn't find a chance to take revenge for this, but let this old boy die in the hands of pirates first! What a pity! This is all retribution, he Liu Bentang died without complaining!
If it weren't for Brother Yu's sacrifice to save him the day before yesterday, we would have died in the hands of pirates, and you Feng Scar didn't want to repay the favor, you still wanted me to take the lead and take you to hurt Brother Yu, now I tell you Feng Scar, don't make up your mind anymore! This boat Lao Tzu will definitely not help you send Liu Bentang back again! You're going to die of this heart! ”
Today, I will go directly to the big chapter of 5,000 words, are you still reluctant to give up the red ticket in your hand? I want to make the list, brothers must support you! Thank you so much! Kneel and beg the passing brethren to collect it first! )
