Chapter 225, Recruitment (2) (Ask for Collection, Subscription)
The battle was over, leaving hundreds of ships large and small on both sides. But there weren't many fighting ships or ships, mostly boats and smaller ships.
The people of the Dajiang Gang began to disperse as soon as Liu Feng arrived, and Duan Mingjie and Bei Xinyuan, who had been prepared for a long time, one intercepted the pirates and the other guarded against the Jiang/thieves, and the war was quelled in a short time.
Some of the pirates fled, some were killed, and the rest were captured. As for the Jiang thief, there were only a few hundred people left, gathered on the fighting ship and a few ships, and watched the crowd vigilantly.
Bai Jian didn't care about them, he only ordered them not to escape, and waited for Liu Feng to come back and deal with them. Jiang/thief had the intention not to contact these people and left directly, but under the prying eyes of many warships, he did not dare to make any moves.
"Which one is the leader, come out and answer?" After Liu Feng arrived, he asked the Jiang / thief who had gathered together. Bai Jianyi changed trains again to prevent the Jiang/thief from breaking out.
"In Xia Jiang Qin, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" Maybe he was observing his own people, as soon as Liu Feng's words fell, one person came out and said.
Twenty-three or four-year-old, his complexion was somewhat dark, and he had several wounds on his body, which were wrapped with gauze to stop the bleeding. After the battle, he was very tired, but he didn't dare to relax at all, staring at the person in front of him.
"No matter who we are, after all, we can be regarded as saving your lives, so far, no one has said a word 'thanks'!" Liu Feng scoffed.
"It's not under it, please forgive me. On behalf of all the brothers, I thank you for saving lives. Jiang Qin bowed and said.
"What kind of affection is the grace of saving lives, not to mention the lives of so many people, it is not worthy of your gratitude in person?" Liu Feng continued.
Jiang Qin was on the Dudou ship, and Liu Feng was on a medium-sized ship, plus Jiang Qin and the others were more vigilant, Bai Jian didn't think of the conflict before, the distance was far, and Liu Feng didn't make much movement after he arrived, so that there was at least a few zhang distance between him and Jiang Qin.
"Okay, that's you." Jiang Qin's face turned red, and after thinking for a while, he finally spoke. He knew that the other party must have known his identity, the other party was powerful, and he and the others were already meat on their chopping block, and they couldn't escape if they wanted to.
"Big Boss!" The surrounding water thieves hurriedly shouted, wanting Jiang Qin to give up the idea of going upstairs to the boat.
"It's okay, my generation walks on the rivers and lakes, and the most important thing is to have clear grievances. Since people are kind to us, it is natural to thank us in person. Jiang Qin waved his hand to stop the dissuasion of his subordinates, "Besides, we are surrounded by others, and the situation is even worse than before. If people are really malicious, it is futile to resist, it is better to go and find out the situation. ”
Taking advantage of Jiang Qin's opportunity, Wang Yu asked, "Do you want to inform the two envoys that the matter is over?" ”
"Don't worry," Liu Feng shook his head and said, "That's the imperial court's ship, and it's full of people from the imperial court, do you think there will be no one to make a fuss after it's safe?" The top priority at the moment is to co-opt these people, otherwise they will really kill them all as credit, and it will not be good to quarrel. ”
"Sure enough, it's a man, but it's a pity that he has embarked on the wrong path." Looking at it up close, it was different, Jiang Qin got on the boat alone, almost 175 centimeters or more, there was no such strong feeling, his body was very well-proportioned, and he looked like a scholar.
However, some people are usually not measured by their appearance. If anyone despises him because of this, he will not know what will happen to him.
He was very young, he looked calm, and although he was tired, he tried to keep himself awake. Hearing Liu Feng's words, he smiled disdainfully and wanted to refute, but Liu Feng didn't give him a word.
"Time is limited, let's talk about it first!" After that, go into the cabin first. Jiang Qin was stunned for a moment, and also walked in.
"Big Boss!" The people below shouted urgently, and those who were impulsive wanted to board the ship immediately.
"Stop me, rest assured...... Await. At this moment, an intermittent voice came, and a big man walked out with the help of others.
"Second Leader!" The thieves shouted.
"You just wait, don't make trouble, lest the big leader make it difficult for him." The second leader, who seemed to be Zhou Tai, said.
He was much more injured than Jiang Qin, and even his leg was injured, and he had been treating the wound in the cabin just now.
Liu Feng didn't know the situation below, walked into the cabin, sat directly on the main seat, and after a few people came in, there were guards who closed the cabin.
"Brother Jiang Qindai, thank you for saving your life!" Entering the cabin, Jiang Qin saluted again.
"Yes, I can finally tell the difference between right and wrong." Liu Feng pretended to be forced to nod, "Don't doubt it, I have already inquired about your identity, why are you a thief?" ”
"Why?" Jiang Qin laughed miserably, "If it weren't for the last resort, which of us would be willing to do this kind of precarious life, always worrying about the army of the imperial court." But a poor family, once it provokes a wealthy family, how can there be any reason? ”
"How long have you been doing this? Who's that one with you? There's no need to hide, I saw it when I watched from afar, you're tough! Liu Feng continued.
"Zhou Tai, like me, a native of Jiujiang, has suffered a similar experience. It's been almost a year to make a living on the Yangtze River. Jiang Qin replied very cooperatively, and then asked, "Are you officers and soldiers?" ”
"The officers and soldiers are good, but they are not here to suppress bandits, they are just passing by." Liu Feng smiled, "This can be said to be your bad luck, or it can be said that you are extremely lucky." Otherwise, I don't know how many of you will be left in the end! ”
Liu Feng is right, with their state, if it weren't for Liu Feng and their arrival, it is estimated that only the two of them would be able to escape. After all, this is not on land.
"Now, you have to make a choice. Do you want to be a prisoner and be killed in the end, or surrender to me and return to the right path. Although I don't have a high position, I have no problem sheltering a few people. Liu Feng asked.
"Dare I ask who you are?" Jiang Qin asked what he had been holding in his heart for a long time.
"My name is Liu Feng, you should be able to see that I am a stranger, and the current chief of the Huiji Yongning." Liu Feng said.
"Ah, could it be that Liu Feng, the clan relative of the Han family, who was named the Marquis of Shangyu Pavilion by the emperor?" Jiang Qin was surprised.
"Well, am I so famous?" Liu Feng couldn't believe it.
Liu Feng's prestige is very high, originally there were more than 1 million after the Yellow Turban Uprising, and in the past two years, his reputation has spread, and it has been growing every day, and after this time the title is upgraded, it has reached 2 million. Not to mention a county magistrate, even the governor of a state is enough to be competent.
But I haven't felt that I have any fame, of course, it doesn't count among the strangers. In the past two years, he has been staying in Yongning, where he is the boss and has the final say; I went to San'in a few times, and I saw either people from big families or my boss, and I didn't feel anything; Not to mention in Luoyang, many people look down on Yiren, even if he has been made a marquis. So much so that Liu Feng didn't feel that he had any reputation among the aborigines.
Now through Jiang Qin's mouth, I know that I have become a symbol.
Although he was born poor, through his own efforts and meritorious service on the battlefield, he was finally recognized by the royal family and was crowned a marquis. Many poor people follow their example and hope that one day they will be able to become marquis.
"We have heard of the name of the Hou Ye for a long time, and we have also fantasized about making meritorious contributions on the battlefield like you and making the Hou a general, but unfortunately, because he offended the son of the family, the credit was impersonated, so that he couldn't even stay in the county later, and was forced to embark on the road of water thieves." Seeing that Liu Feng was puzzled, Jiang Qin roughly explained his prestige among the middle and lower class aborigines, and then said.
"I really didn't expect that I'm so famous now, it seems that I'm going to go out and walk around more in the future." Liu Feng smiled all over his face, "But your news is outdated, Benhou is now the Shangyu Township Marquis." ”
"Although Lord Hou is from a different background, he is a member of the Han family after all, and after being recognized by the royal family, he naturally has a bright future." Jiang Qin smiled bitterly.
He didn't say anything more, but Liu Feng could think that he was unbalanced about this kind of encounter in his heart, no wonder he would firmly support the Sun family's Jiangdong hegemony in the future.
"Don't fantasize about your thoughts, to tell you the truth, Ben Hou has always been promoted by his own ability, not by any nepotism." Liu Feng smiled, "Back to the topic, would you like to descend?" ”
"Prisoner of the stairs, what choice is there? Although Jiang Qin was willing to surrender, he could not determine the future of the brothers. Jiang Qin said.
After hearing about Liu Feng's identity, he had no resistance to surrendering. In his heart, Liu Feng, who has been beheaded and broken Nanyang and made a marquis, is his idol.
"Huh, how can it be so simple? Could it be that there is something else that can't happen? Liu Feng was afraid that something would happen, so he said carefully, "Benhou can let you go and discuss with your brothers, but it's best to hurry." Let me tell you the truth, this fleet, Ben Hou can't be completely in charge, if you attract others, your fate will be difficult to say. ”
"I don't know who else is besides Master Hou?" Jiang Qin asked curiously.
"The Emperor's envoy." Liu Feng spit out a few words.
Jiang Qin withdrew and disembarked to consult with his brothers. He didn't ask why there was an envoy of the emperor, but he knew that the other party would not lie to him, and there was no reason to tell such an obvious lie that could be easily debunked. But since the emperor can send an envoy, it is enough to show that the matter is very important.
"Do you think it will work?" After Jiang Qin left, Liu Feng asked uncertainly.
"Yes." Bai Jian said, "City Lord, you have always been in contact with big people, so that you are too unconfident, for these people with ordinary backgrounds, you are the object of their envy. Not to mention, now their life and death are in our hands, and there is also the threat of the emperor's envoys being anxious to make meritorious contributions. They'll definitely choose an avatar. ”
"Commander Bai is right, if it weren't for following the city lord at the beginning, I would be one of them now." Tai Shi Ci said.
"I already am, otherwise I wouldn't have left Donglai so simply." Wang Yu continued.
……
"You ......" Listening to the words of a few people, Liu Feng didn't know what to say for a while.
They didn't wait long, and after a while, footsteps sounded outside again, and Jiang Qin came in again. (To be continued.) )
