Tianjin Port.

Huge ships appeared on the surface of the sea, and on the deck of the big ship, a certain bronzed guy leaned against the side of the ship, looking at the dilapidated Tianjin Port with high spirits.

It seems that this place ...... Roots cannot dock large ships.

The bronze-skinned guy squinted, clearly dissatisfied.

"Your Excellen......cy," said a bare-chested sailor, barefoot, "the boat that had come to meet him has come ashore." ”

"Hmm......" a guy nodded, told the boats, put the sails and anchored, and stood by on the spot.

"Your Excellen......cy," the sailor squeaked and wanted to say something.

"Say it."

"The brothers haven't been back to the mainland for so many years, so ...... So they were all eager to land, so ...... So ......"

The guy holding the side of the boat smiled coldly and said, "You haven't come back for a long time, Lao Tzu is back, bastard, don't be in a hurry for a while." ”

The sailor looked at the coastline and said, "I'm afraid that the local government will be hostile to us, you see, our fleet has been here for so long, and no one has come to greet us." ”

"Afraid of what? Lao Tzu is the ambassador of the emperor's edict, Lao Tzu's brother is now an official in Hanlin, and now he is my uncle, and now he is also a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, with this relationship, who dares to treat us slowly? Wait a minute. ”

This person is Deng Jian.

After going to sea for more than a year and a half, Deng Jian's temperament has taken on a new look, and now he has a dark complexion, but he is full of spirit, his eyes are flashing, and he is a little ruthless. If you don't identify it carefully, you don't know it, and you think he's a pirate leader.

Deng Jian stomped his feet. There was a thump on the deck, and he tightened his cloak and looked at the land, his eyes grooming with longing.

After going to sea. He had indeed seen too many pirates on the islands, and he had been in Korea as a merchant and a thief. I have been to the Wa Kingdom, transferred to the Ryukyus, passed through Taiwan, and been to Luzon.

He had negotiated with the Francis, fought with pirates, and mediated with the Japanese, Koreans, Luzon, and Ryukyuans, and now ...... Lao Tzu Deng Jian is finally back!

Deng Jian was very excited, this continent. Of course, there are many unbearable memories. It's not as comfortable as sailing out to sea. It's better to let him gallop after going to sea, but here, carrying his past. And his friends, his brothers.

It's nice to be back!

Deng Jian couldn't help but sigh.

When going out to sea. His tragic feeling, Xu Qian cheated him, but he really went to sea and saw the vastness of the world, and when he came back, he realized that Xu Qian had good intentions.

Now Deng Jian has been able to take charge of dozens of big ships, manage sailors, and escort more than 1,000 people.

When I arrived in Tianjin, I was afraid that I would have to go to Beijing, and after entering Beijing, I would first go to restore my life, and then go to see Xu Qian, I don't know how he is doing.

Thinking about it in a mess, the boat that landed on the shore went and returned, docked under Deng Jian's big boat, and was pulled up by someone with a cable, and there were three people when they went, but only one person when they came back, and the sailor said with panic: "My lord...... Our people have been detained......"

"Buckle the ......" Deng Jian was stunned for a moment, and then became angry: "Which yamen is it, is it crazy?" You tell the truth. ”

The sailor hurriedly told the cause and effect of the incident, it turned out that the three of them landed on the shore, came to be full of interest, first contacted the people on the dock, the other party asked them to go to the military preparation road yamen, the three of them arrived at the military preparation road yamen, all said their identities, who knew that the soldiers of the road of the adults listened, but just replied, the ambassador went to sea, and had not heard of it, as for the big ship to land, it could not be correct, which meant to let these people roll from where they came from.

Wherever this fleet passed, under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, everywhere it passed, all enjoyed VIP treatment, that is, to the Wa Kingdom, the island's vassals were also treated very preferentially, who knew that when they returned to Tianjin, there was an unheard of, the sailors were naturally unconvinced, and wanted to argue, and the adults who were prepared for the war were angry, and ordered the three people to beat up, detained two people, and only put back one message, get out!

Domineering!

Deng Jian was furious.

His anger is justified, he bears the emperor's order, tirelessly travels to various countries, no merit, but the bitterness is not less, now it is fortunate not to be dishonored, what he brought was the stolen goods confiscated by the Ming Dynasty, but what he brought back was gold and silver agate, a specialty of various countries, I thought that even if I was not warmly entertained, at least I would not suffer from the closed door, who knew that this was the case.

"How can this be reasonable, do you mean to say that both Jiang Chen and Zhao Youhua will be detained?"

"Yes, all in prison......"

Deng Jian smiled coldly, and then said, "Herald...... Summoning the order to go down, go ashore, take the guys ashore, and save people first. ”

The two people who were seized were Deng Jian's right-hand men, if they were detained like this and left in disgrace, the sailors and guards would definitely make trouble, this is a person at sea, once they didn't suppress it, it might be that this group of outlaws kidnapped Deng Jian and fled directly overseas, and simply became pirates.

Although Deng Jian is no longer impulsive, he understands the current situation very well, and he can't take risks.

He didn't want to be held hostage to be a pirate leader, he also had a brother who served as an attendant in the court, and an uncle who worked in the brocade guard. Besides, it was Xu Qian who recommended himself to go to sea, once he turned against the water, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, whether there was a grievance or not, Xu Qian would definitely have the crime of sitting together at that time, since this was the case, then simply go ashore to make trouble.

At the sound of the order, the drums sounded on the boats, and the ships lowered their anchors to the rhythm of the drums, and then the ships were lowered into the water, and the sailors, armed with weapons, boarded the boats one by one along the ropes.

Seventy or eighty flat-bottomed boats with hundreds of sailors cruised towards the Tianjin wharf.

Deng Jian had a dagger stuck in his waist, wearing a military attache uniform that had long been tattered and full of oil, standing on the bow of the boat, and cursed loudly: "Raised by a son of a bitch, is there no one in the court who bullied Lao Tzu?" Think Lao Tzu is easy to bully? What kind of soldiers are preparing for the yamen, brothers, afraid of him! ”

The sailors shouted together: "I'm afraid of him!" ”

Deng Jian yelled: "There are also people above Lao Tzu!" ”

The sailors shouted even more cheerfully: "We have someone above!" ”

The shore had obviously noticed the abnormality, and the waterway inspector personally ran to the wharf to see it, and immediately his face turned green with fright, and he immediately ordered someone to notify the military preparation road yamen, while organizing a small number of officers and soldiers to make hasty preparations.

The boat had already landed, and dozens of bows were waiting for them, and the waterway inspector tore his throat and shouted: "Are you going to rebel?" Do you know what kind of crime it is to attack the officers and soldiers, and what is the crime of landing on the shore without a way? ”

One by one, the sailors swallowed and looked at Deng Jian's boat.

Deng Jian sneered: "The emperor's order is Lu Yin, what kind of dog thing of your mother, brothers, go ashore, if anyone dares to touch our brothers, cut him down!" ”

To deal with these sailors, you must come up with some arrogance, if you are not heroic enough, it will be difficult to restrain these unruly guys, this is a set of experience that Deng Jian has explored, if he hadn't been taught, he would have been tied up by these bastards who have no royal law and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

Of course, this method also has sequelae, that is, you can't show cowardice in anything, such as Fang Cai's shouting of the waterway inspection, which represents the attitude of the government, Deng Jian should negotiate well, but on the contrary, he can't negotiate now, he can only hold on!

But...... What is gratifying to Deng Jian is that his roar immediately provoked the sailors to scream, and everyone slapped the side of the ship with weapons, making a snapping sound, and shouted: "Yes, cut down these sons of bitch." ”

This waterway inspection was stunned, in other words, he is just a small official, small can not be small, usually there is really no chance to see the world, this Tianjin is the gateway of the Beijing Division, and it is a transit center, is the military town of the imperial court, there is a guard officer army, but also set up a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, with nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers, this does not include, many fragmented yamen, although the sparrow is small, but it is complete. In such a place, no thieves dare to come, and now when encountering this unexpected situation, the inspector can only be in a daze.

The archer at the bottom couldn't help asking, "My lord, do you want to shoot?" ”

The "shooting ......" inspector was stunned for a moment, hesitated, and saw that these ships were getting closer and closer, and finally sneered: "What kind of shooting, you can't stop it, people will kill people when they go ashore, it is said that ...... These people are indeed the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, but the military preparation of the road yamen does not admit it, what do the adults of the military preparation do not want to know, but everyone eats with a mouthful of food, do dog legs, why embarrass the dog legs, order to go down, the archers are withdrawn, and then it is said that the enemy is too big, although the brothers are fighting, but they can't stop it, so they have to retreat, that ...... Let's get a headache over there. ”

Without saying a word, the hundred or so archers immediately withdrew.

Although this wharf belongs to Tianjin, but it is still dozens of miles away from the real Tianjin Wei, although there are already people here, there are also many wine shops, fortunately, there are not many people, the waterway inspection does not say a word, directly take people to transfer into dozens of miles, and go to Tianjin Wei.

landed lightly, but Deng Jian didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered: "Damn, we are also officials and soldiers, we have to order to go down, who dares to make a robbery here, Lao Tzu is the first to chop him and throw him into the sea to feed the fish, we are here to seek justice, not rebellion, give Lao Tzu some rules." ”

In the eyes of the sailors, Deng Jian is simply a god-like existence, and now that he has won the dock, his morale is greatly boosted, but fortunately, the sailors are also people who have seen the world, and they are different from ordinary pirates, and when they heard the order, they immediately responded: "The brothers are officers and soldiers, and they don't rob things." ”

Someone whispered: "If you are an official and an army and don't loot some people's property, what is it called?" ”
