6. Pirates
Yanjing, the Prime Minister's official residence, Xing Zongxian said to Yan Song: Xu Hai is fighting overseas, and it is difficult to fight with him than between warships, and he must be lured out to make the tiger lose its momentum in order to be captured. Accidentally invade our borders, and wait for work. If he separates his henchmen, Xu Hai will be lonely, and then persuade him to destroy the thief and make meritorious service to protect his relatives, which is also the best policy.
Yan Song agreed and appointed Xing Zongxian as the left attendant of the military department.
Jin Yiwei suggested that Xing Zongxian send Luo Longwen to persuade Xu Hai, Xing Zongxian agreed, Luo Longwen took three people on the battleship and came to Jeju Island 20 nautical miles outside Jeju Island, and the four of them came to Jeju Island by speedboat.
After landing on the island, Luo Longwen shouted to the pirates who were on guard: I was sent by the Ming Dynasty to see your king.
Luo Longwen was pinned to the ground. There is a way: don't kill yet! The pirates tied up Luo Longwen and his military companions and brought them to the island. After a few miles, it is a large camp. I saw tens of thousands of pirates with their heads stamped in a dense row, and they lined up a lot of equipment. The leader reported first and said: Get a big messenger.
At this time, Xu Mingshan was playing the pipa and eating wine with Wang Cui in the tent, and he was already half-drunk, and said with a glare: Take it and cut it.
Wang Cuidao: Since he is an official, he should not be killed easily.
Xu Haidao: Catch it.
There was an answer outside, but there were about fifty or seventy pirates with guns, escorting Luo Longwen to the tent and kneeling. That Luo Longwen peeked at it. But see:
On the left sits a male pirate leader, embroidered with brocade robes and fierce bravery; There is a delicate beauty sitting on the right, Wang Cuifeng is absolutely enchanting. The angry iron face on the left is like a tiger and a leopard leaving the mountain; The wine on the right reflects the red cheeks, like a hibiscus out of the water. The waist of the left head is horizontal, often with a murderous heart; The oblique treasure on the right is golden, with a bit of national attitude. It seems that Yu Ji accompanied Xiang Yu in the brocade tent.
The thunder on the left also seemed to ask: What kind of official are you, dare to go to my army to listen?
Luo Longwen listened, didn't speak for a long time, and said in a loud voice: I was sent by Xing Ye of the Ministry of Defense to recruit the king.
The left head smiled and said: I, Xu Hai, do not belong to the Ming Dynasty, do not belong to Japan, I am an overseas genius, and I am free to live and die. Do I want to recruit you or need you?
Luo Longwen said: Xing Yejun said, said: The war between the two sides will inevitably kill innocents. It's better to surrender, Xing Ye will play and give the king a big official.
The one on the left smiled again: I think that Yan Song is in power, only talking about money, and caring about merit and crime! Even your Xing Shilang can't protect himself, how can he protect me?
Luo Longwen said: King Qi, the outcome is unpredictable, or surrender.
I saw the road on the left: Huh! How can you predict the outcome of the battle? Cut this guy first. The pirates hurriedly surrounded Luo Longwen.
I was so happy that I sat on the right and said: Don't cut it yet. The pirates stopped. She said to the left head: If you don't surrender to you, why kill him to provoke Daming?
The one on the left listened: Let this guy be spared. When Luo Longwen got his life, he looked closely at the person who saved him, and thought: Not only is his voice very familiar, but his face is also very familiar.
And he on the right said, "Drink and eat with him." Luo Longwen got the account, so he quietly asked others, and the others replied: This is Mrs. Wang, a famous prostitute over there.
Luo Longwen realized that it was Wang Cui: I ransomed for her before, and she saved my life today.
This night, Mrs. Wang woke up with Xu Hai's wine and said to him: He came to recruit you, and it was also an opportunity. He pays you, you also pay him, Wang Zhi has surrendered, the court has pardoned his criminals, why not take this time to disarm and thank himself, surrender to the Ming Dynasty, he is famous in history.
Xu Haidao: Madame is reasonable, but I have committed a great crime by killing officials and people and plundering cities. Even if you surrender to the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that I will not be allowed to do so, and I will think about it again.
The next morning, Mrs. Wang rewarded Luo Wenlong with 20,000 yuan, and gave him a military companion, saying: Worship Xing Ye, this matter is important, wait for me to discuss with the king.
Luo Longwen got his life, and came to see Xing Shilang in the starry night, ready to talk about the past. Xing Shilang thought: Since Xu Hai listened to Mrs. Wang's words and did not kill Luo Longwen, he was the master in the army. If you bribe her to do the internal response, or you can be powerful.
He also sent Luo Longwen to bring handwritten letters and gifts, and bought big pearls, red gold jewelry, makeup and sprinkled clothes, and gave them to Mrs. Wang.
At this time, Xu Hai had the intention of surrendering because of the advice of Mrs. Wang. This time, he got Xing Shilang's handwriting, and Wang Cui read it desolately:
Jun Xiong is strategic, and he should take the Hou seal as if he sent it. But why do you have a lot of foreign lands, so that people are called 'thieves'? Good but painful too! If you can do it all over again, you must have a heavy commission. The sun is on the top, there is no negative heart, and the king will judge it!
After the two looked at it, Xu Hai said to Mrs. Wang: My previous property was all plundered, and now as soon as I surrender, I will wash my hands in a golden basin, what do I rely on to feed? Or give me an official, and I will become his subordinate and be controlled by him.
Mrs. Wang said: Why is this difficult? We asked him for the Zhoushan Islands, where his subordinates were stationed; He also asked him to open up trade, and trade Japanese goods with the Ming Dynasty, which could also make a profit. In the middle of the sea, I will be free in the end.
Xu Hai said: Wait, Mrs. will answer him in a book.
Cui Qiao wrote: The Chinese on the sea led the pirates to attack repeatedly, capital crimes, capital crimes! Xie Xing Shilang gave me the opportunity to change my mind, give me a false position, and my subordinates were in Zhoushan, so I should lead the team, assist the East China Sea, and always be a minister who will not invade or rebel, in order to repay the grace.
He told Luo Wenlong again and asked him to come back before surrendering.
This is happening here, and Chen Dong over there is also suspicious, afraid that he will conspire with Daming to murder, so he also sent someone to ask for surrender. Xing Shilang agreed. Chen Dong was to be surrendered in Zhoushan, and a date was agreed.
Chen Dong came to see Xu Hai and discussed: If you enter the city and surrender, I am afraid that something will happen. Let's see each other in Zhoushan. Xu Hai agreed.
On the solstice, Xu Hai Chen Dong led the pirates to Zhoushan, all wearing body armor. Xing Shilang came to Zhoushan by helicopter. Xu Hai and Chen Dong walked to the helicopter.
Xing Shilang said: Once you have surrendered, you should be a new person; Give you back an officer, and lead your subordinates to serve the country at sea. Don't have two minds. The two bowed and led their men back to the island.
Xing Shilang said to the officials: Look at these two pirate leaders, there are still many subordinates, if you don't guard against him, he may have different ambitions, but it will be a trouble for his heart. If you guard against him, but the army cannot suppress him, you will rebel against him. Abandon the small letter to achieve great success, cut off the wings.
When he returned to the official residence, he made a plan: he made a letter to Chen Dong, saying: It was Xu Hai's idea not to disarm and enter the city the day before yesterday. Now although he has descended, I am afraid that he will surrender by deception. Please send troops to attack it, I will respond internally.
asked Luo Wenlong to take this letter and read it to Xu Hai, saying that Xing Shilang did not believe Chen Dong, and asked Xu Hai to strengthen his defense, afraid that Chen Dong would attack Xu Hai first.
Xu Hai saw it and scolded: This is all your opinion, why do you want to sell me for meritorious service? He had to raise troops to fight Chen Dong.
Wang Cuidao: Don't take it lightly! As the saying goes, 'strike first is strong', and now it can be said that Xing Ye has someone here, ask him to discuss it, and then take it. Not only did it avoid trouble, but it also made great contributions.
When Xu Hai heard this, he sent someone to invite Chen Dong. The ambush man waited for him in advance. As a result, Chen Dong didn't know that it was a trap, so he brought more than 100 people including Ma Ye. entered the camp, Xu Hai gave a code, took it all, and was escorted into Shanghai. Chen Dongdong learned that it was too late to come to the rescue.
The two sides take revenge and fight each other, and each other wins and loses.
Wang Cuidao: Jun slaughtered China and committed a lot of crimes, but today he surrendered and captured Chen Dong for the country, and the merits and crimes can be matched. Why don't you plead with the Ming Court again, join forces with Xing Shilang, and kill Chen Dongyu's party. In this way, the merit will be higher, and it will be redeemed as much as possible. Then dismiss your subordinates and make a cloth with you for Linzi. Why bother to be frightened day and night?
Xu Hai went to ask Xing Shilang and agreed. Jointly attacked Chen Dongyu's party. It's just that Xing Shilang was afraid that Xu Hai would not die and that the disaster would end, so he first sent someone to reward his subordinates with wine and meat, and secretly placed chronic poison inside. said that Chen Dongyu still had a lot of party, and told him to defend with his heart. This side secretly issued an order to attack Xuhai, and sent warships to fire shells to bombard Xuhai's camp.
This night, Xu Hai was sleeping soundly, and he could hear the sound of cannons all around. In the light of the fire, he put on his clothes and took Wang Cui to escape. However, the surrounding rebels had been killed, and he was shot in the left arm. Xu Hai was in a hurry, so he jumped into the river.
When Wang Cui saw it, he was also about to jump into the river, only to hear that there was a humane: Mrs. Wang was not allowed to be killed. He also said: There is a heavy reward for receiving Mrs. Wang. I was caught by a soldier and couldn't jump.
The next day, when he entered to see Xing Shilang, Wang Cui kowtowed and asked for death. Xing Shilang smiled and said: You have made a great contribution, I will reward you well.
Wang Cui was very depressed and did not regret dying with Xu Hai. Destroy all musical instruments and no more makeup.
Within half a month, Xing Shilang went to Hangzhou and held a banquet to reward the soldiers. sent someone to summon Wang Cui, Wang Cui refused, and summoned him again before arriving, with a haggard face. At this time, various officials were there.
Xing Shilang said to Cui Qiao: Zhen Xi Shi also.
After sitting down, half drunk, Xing Shilang called Cui Qiao to the front and said: Everyone is talking and laughing, why do you have a straight face? You have done a great job by saving lives from suffering.
Xing Shilang drank heartily, got drunk, and then hugged Wang Cui in his arms. The crowd was noisy and unconventional.
Xing Shilang left the table drunk, and Cui Qiao and the officials also thanked one after another. The next morning, Xing Shilang woke up very insulted and asked Liu Xiao to marry Wang Cui, who was very unhappy when he found out.
Liu Xiao drove a yacht to get married. Wang Cui said: Please wait a moment. Wang Cui changed into a wedding dress, boarded the boat, went to the distant mountains on the river, the phoenix eyes flowed obliquely, Wang Cui said: Wait for me to lay the Ming Mountain, and then drink with you. took the wine and sprinkled it on the river, and shouted: Xu Hai, I owe you! self-hatred and thin life, degenerate fireworks, and was taken captive by Xu Hai. Although Xu Hai is a thief, he treats me as a bosom friend. For the sake of the country, I had to deceive him with tricks, it was I who failed Xu Hai, not Xu Hai. Since I have lost Xu Xuhai, how can I be the wife of an officer again today?
Fight hard to throw yourself into the river.
Xu Hai's subordinates saw that Xu Hai was dead, so they led the rest of the party to escape by boat. Xing Shilang's army went to intercept, capture and destroy more than 300 people. Shingoro was about to throw himself into the sea and die, when he was caught by officers and soldiers and tied up. Xing Shilang ordered Ye Ma, Chen Dong and others to be imprisoned in Yanjing.
