This old man is none other than Beibatian.

Everywhere he passed, a group of vicious pirates suddenly turned into quails, some feared him, some in awe of him.

Bei Batian sat on the main seat of this Juyi Hall lightly, looked around, and said lightly: "Sit." ”

After a word, the pirates sat down one after another, and they all looked at Beibatian silently.

After a pause, a pirate stood up and said: "A few days ago, the owner of the Dongsheng encountered a Japanese ship, and the other party was unruly and took the lead in attacking the Dongsheng. What do the brothers say about this? ”

Beibatian didn't speak, only took the gourd around his waist and poured wine on himself.

So the people gossiped, and said, "What else can I say, they are unruly, and they have found a way to attack their lair, to avenge the brethren." ”

Another humanitarian: "Recently, the Japanese have traded with the Francophone people, and they have obtained a lot of muskets, but I am afraid that this idea is a little hard." ”

Bei Batian coughed.

The crowd fell silent at once.

Bei Batian smiled and said: "This matter, I know, happened on the second day of the first month of last month, seventy-two brothers died, and a batch of goods were robbed, right?" ”

Crowd: "Yes." ”

Bei Batian sighed, showing a little grief, and said: "The eighth child who died, and I are brothers who are allied by blood, when we fought the world together in Beihai, it was a lifelong friendship. ”

The crowd was silent.

"Old brother, now he is buried in the belly of a fish, and when he is old, he has broken his foot and been robbed, which is really embarrassing." Bei Batian said, and couldn't help tears in his eyes.

So everyone was filled with indignation: "I am willing to follow the eldest brother and avenge the eighth child." ”

Bei Batian wiped away his tears, he didn't exude any gangsterism, but like a person who had lost his old life, and then, he slowly stood up and paced a few steps with his hands behind his back before saying, "Escort people in." ”

When they heard this, they were confused and turned back to look at the gate.

But he saw a few men, who had already brought in a widow.

This widow is tied up with a lot of flowers, and his mouth is croaking, but there are many people here who are slightly fluent in Japanese, and suddenly someone whispered: "It is this widow, who has a head for wrongs and a debtor, but I never thought that he would fall into the hands of the eldest brother." ”

The crowd was in an uproar.

Bei Batian pressed his hand and said, "They are all brothers who are begging for a living in the sea, we are like this, and so are these widows. The knife licks the blood, and he doesn't care about his life, for what? It's just trying to survive. But I have repeatedly said that morality is necessary to be a human being, and this morality does not mean that the big guys are about to starve to death, but they cannot rob others of food. Rather, it is said that the husband wants to act above board. It was this Ishihara Taro who attacked the eighth, and after I heard the news, I immediately took the boat to their lair, and took advantage of the darkness to tie people up, Ishihara Taro, what do you have to say? ”

The widow knelt down and begged for mercy desperately, probably because he was interested in his own interests.

Bei Batian sighed and said: "Your father, in fact, I also recognize, when you were young, your father was in this Beihai area, and he was also a rule-abiding person, but it is a pity that you learned your father's fierceness, but you didn't learn your father's means of basing himself on the ocean." ”

I saw that this Ishihara Taro was just kneeling and kowtowing constantly.

Bei Batian sighed again: "It's a pity. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out the dagger at his waist like lightning, and then plunged the dagger into Taro Ishihara's throat.

Ishihara Taro suddenly convulsed, and he wanted to grab the hand of the North Overlord, but the hand of the North Overlord was very fast, he pulled out the dagger, and bled like a chicken, taking advantage of the fact that the Ishihara Taro was not dead, and plunged the dagger into the throat fiercely, and then the dagger stirred in the throat, Ishihara Taro was already spurting blood, and he couldn't make a sound, only the sound of the cartilage and flesh in the throat being crushed.

Finally, Beibatian pulled out the dagger, he turned his head and turned his back to Taro Ishihara, and Taro Ishihara's body collapsed directly, and he was already dead.

Bei Batian wiped the dagger, and said calmly: "The boatload of people outside should also be killed, to avenge the eighth child." Remember, give them some pleasure, they are all people who live and suffer, and they should always make people die more comfortably. ”

A young man pressed the knife and nodded, "Yes, Dad." With that, he swaggered away.

Bei Batian slowly returned to his seat: "This matter is over here." The bones of the eighth child have been thrown into the sea by them, even if they want to find it, they are afraid that they will not be able to find it. Those of us who live overseas, we are dying, and we are also dying in a foreign land, whether we are buried or not, what difference does it make? It's okay, the eighth child has eaten fish for half his life, and when he is dying, he should make amends. ”

Everyone said: "The eldest brother avenges the eighth child, and I am ashamed that I didn't take a hand." ”

Bei Batian took another sip of wine, and then said: "I summoned you here today, and there is one more thing, you have all read the list articles posted in various places on the continent." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately burst into laughter.

Imperial court Zhao'an, they haven't seen it, but how many people can stand this Zhao'an?

Back on the road, this person who is happy to take revenge has to become obedient people, any little official dares to bully you so much that you can't raise your head, where is there a happy place?

"This is a trick of the government."

Bei Batian shook his head and said: "This time is different, the East India Company of the Franc Machine was actually mentioned in the emperor's list, which shows that this time, the imperial court has a new insight into this maritime matter." ”

Then another person said: "I'm afraid of deception." ”

Bei Batian shook his head again and said, "If it is Emperor Laozi's promise, I will ignore it, but it is...... That Wei Zhongxian's gambling curse...... This is a bit interesting, the state capitals along the coast are now setting up shrines for Wei Zhongxian, it can be seen that Wei Zhongxian is already in power, if there is no sincerity, this Wei Zhongxian will never joke about this. ”

Someone said: "But I heard that the Zheng family in the East China Sea and the Li family in the South China Sea all say that the imperial court has such tricks, but Er'er, you must not believe it." ”

Among the Han people, there are three major pirates, one is the Beibatian of the Beihai, the other is the Zheng pirates who operate in the waters of the Wa Kingdom, and the other is the Li clan of the South China Sea who are entrenched in the Luzon area.

In everyone's opinion, the other pirates don't care about this emperor list, and here in Beihai, naturally they don't have to take it to heart.

Bei Batian smiled at this time and said, "It is precisely because of this that the old man finds it interesting. If the Zheng family and the Li family are willing to accept Zhao'an...... The old man still has concerns. But if they refuse, if we are willing to cooperate with the court, the court will be overjoyed! They will show their sincerity to the pirates of the world, and they will definitely give rich rewards. So, let's talk to the court, but if someone takes the lead, the court wants to talk, and I won't. ”

Speaking of this, he showed a bit of sadness, and then said: "We are living here, it is really a last resort, although it is happy here, but after all, there are our ancestors and clansmen on the land, and those who have forgotten their ancestors have wine to drink, and they feel that there is no taste, and there is meat to eat, which is like chewing wax." I am not afraid of the wind and waves on the sea, but the closest relatives and nostalgia on the land always teach people to let go. ”

One by one, the pirates fell silent.

Who wouldn't want to return home?

It's just that......

Someone said timidly: "I'm afraid that we will do Wang Zhi when the time comes." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone became afraid.

Speaking of this Wang Zhi, during the Jiajing period, he was a famous giant who crisscrossed the ocean, and he didn't dare to say that he was the ancestor of pirates, but the scale was as big as him, but there were only a handful.

It was only later that the imperial court was edicted, so he took refuge in the imperial court! According to the will of the imperial court, the pirates from all over the country were exterminated, but in the end, the Ming court lured Wang Zhi to land, and then put Wang Zhi to death.

Therefore, the pirates of later generations took this as a warning and refused to trust the imperial court again.

Bei Batian nodded and said: "What I'm worried about is exactly like this, but there are not many Zhao'an who can have a good end." Although I have this heart, it is not easy to make up my mind. So, I thought about it, I can talk about it, it's just ...... This Ming court may not be credible, I know this. ”

Only then did the crowd relax.

……

At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse in the capital had just had lunch.

The lunch was extraordinarily sumptuous, with 36 hot dishes and 36 cold dishes.

I think I was a little hungry a few days ago, but now I am very tired when I see yellow rice porridge, so I am not allowed to have any soup in this dish, but whenever I see soup, I always want to gag.

What he is most concerned about now is how well the pirates are appeased.

It's a pity that it's been some time since the emperor list was posted, but there is still no news.

At this moment, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was in a hurry.

So he summoned Wei Zhongxian to the front and reprimanded: "Wei Banban, over the years, I have not valued you much, but I never imagined that your reputation would be so foul. ”

Wei Zhongxian wants to spit out a mouthful of old blood, is this also to blame?

But in the face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, in the eyes of outsiders, the nine thousand years old who leaned towards the government and the opposition have always been obedient.

Wei Zhongxian had no choice but to say pitifully: "Xinchenghou has a good reputation, let him come...... Protect the pirates from all over the world and surrender to them. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse glared at him and said coldly, "Don't talk back." ”

As he was talking, a eunuch came over quickly at this time and said: "Your Majesty, Tianjin Wei Jinyi and Wei Qianhu came to play, saying that there was a pirate who landed on the shore, saying that he heard about the imperial court Zhao'an, and he wanted to talk about it." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but say, "There are really people coming...... Why, only a thief came, how much does this despise Wei Banban? Are you still afraid that they will all come ashore and I will detain him? ”

After a pause, he said again: "What kind of tyrant is this, what kind of character?" Come, talk and listen. ”
