Human perceptions are different.

For the imperial court, pirates are thieves, robbing everywhere and killing people.

But Zhang Jingyi knows that the so-called pirates in this era are more focused on commercial attributes, which is completely different from the pirates in the early Ming Dynasty.

After all, on this sea, thousands of miles of blue waves, where are there so many places for you to grab.

The only way for these pirates to develop on such a huge scale is to engage in commercial trade.

This is also the reason why at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Zheng family was directly able to pull out a huge army.

These people were the first to come into contact with the Franco-Robot Man, and the Franc-Robot had a sword-holding model and a business model with the other, in fact, they had already learned the same.

The real Han pirates were almost completely banned after the Qing Dynasty completely eliminated Zheng Ming and the Lanfang Republic completely disappeared.

After all, without the nourishment of the mother country, in the face of the increasingly powerful colonists, it is only a matter of time before they die out under the condition of being attacked on their backs.

This is also the difference between Zhang Jingyi and Zhang Guangqian.

When Zhang Guangqian heard that he was going to go to the sea to see the Northern Batian, he was already frightened, because he deeply believed that pirates were extremely cruel and only knew how to kill, and there was no difference between them and the murderous maniac he imagined.

But in Zhang Jingyi's opinion, the pirates are rational and can be discussed, as long as he ...... Patriotic...... No, the words of the heart to the Ming.

Therefore, when I heard that Zhang Jingyi was going to sea, all of a sudden, Tianjin Weili became a mess.

The local town guards and eunuchs, as well as the local commanders and officials of the Jinyi Guard, came to persuade one after another.

Zhang Jing said lightly: "This marquis is under the emperor's order, and the matter of appeasement is the worry of His Majesty's heart, and now that he is hopeful, how can he retreat?" Don't worry, I'm here to write a poem to make my mind clear, you report this matter, and the court won't blame you. ”

After that, he asked people to get pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Holding a brush, he wrote crookedly and obliquely on the lines of big characters that the dog crawled on.

When everyone saw it, they couldn't cry or laugh, and the words of this dog day were ugly, and this poem was still copied: "Xiaozhu temporarily sits high, and there is an old alliance when you are worried." Calling the bottle to greet the guests, waving the bow to sit and talk. The cloud guard toothpick is full, and the star contains a sword. I don't want to be a marquis, but I hope the sea is flat. ”

Everyone looked at each other, blushing.

To tell the truth, standing here is either a factory minister or a eunuch, or a military general, there are actually not many festivals, but even if there is no festival, when Zhang Jingyi finished writing the poem, everyone felt that their scalp was numb for a while, even if the bottom line was low, at this moment, they didn't even praise it, and they couldn't find the angle.

Zhang Jingyi sighed in his heart, I, Zhang Jingyi, am the least educated traverser, but unfortunately, there was chaos at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and I neither knew how to copy poems, nor did I practice words well.

He was very calm, and smiled and said: "This is Qi Taibao's poetry, borrowed today to show my Zhang Jingyi's ambition." Okay, don't say anything, goodbye. ”

After that, he turned around and explained to Wang Chengdao: "Has Zhang Guang's former deputy envoy set off?" ”

Wang Cheng said: "He refused to go. ”

Zhang Jing said sharply: "Qin sent an envoy, like a soldier to the battlefield, how can he not go if he says not to go?" Tie it up, take it with you. ”

At the dock, there were already several boats waiting.

It's all small boats, not big.

The young man was already waiting for Zhang Jingyi here, and when he saw that Zhang Jingyi really came, he was very surprised: "Qin Cha really talks about credit." ”

Zhang Jing said: "No need to say hello, I know that you are a person in the rivers and lakes, it is useless to talk about this, now, Ben Hou has handed over his life to you, you can do it yourself." ”

The young man hugged his fists, but showed a little admiration, and said, "Admire." ”

As he spoke, out of the corner of his eye, he looked at Zhang Guangqian who was tied into a zongzi, and couldn't help but show contempt.

Immediately, the small boats left the dock directly, and took Zhang Jingyi and dozens of people with him, and went directly out of the harbor of Tianjin Wei.

Zhang Jingyi stood at the bow of the ship and watched the seagulls circling in the sky, and when they were farther away, the seagulls became more and more rare, which showed that this place was getting farther and farther away from the mainland.

The young man stood beside Zhang Jingyi, and he seemed to have a good impression of Zhang Jingyi: "Isn't Qin almost going to take a break?" ”

"Not necessarily." Zhang Jing said: "Look everywhere." Who are you from Beibatian? ”

"Yoshiko." When the young man talked about his father-in-law, he showed admiration, and then said: "The father-in-law has thirteen sons, and our thirteen brothers were all raised by the father-in-law. ”

Zhang Jing said, "Then what is your name?" ”

The young man smiled: "Thirteen tigers." ”

Zhang Jing was stunned one by one: "This is also called a name?" ”

"People on the sea are lazy, names are just signboards, I have twelve brothers above me, the eldest is called the big tiger, the second is called the second tiger, so that others will not remember."

Zhang Jing let out a sigh of relief, but didn't say anything more.

When these ships went out to sea, I don't know how long they went, and they were far away...... A large ship began to appear.

Zhang Jingyi looked at this flat boat, and couldn't help but light up his eyes.

Good guy, this big sea ship is looking up on the flat boat, it is really a behemoth, and it is awe-inspiring to see, Zhang Jing took a closer look, and couldn't help but say: "This ship is not like my Han ship." ”

"This is the Franc ship." The Thirteen Tigers said: "At the beginning, the East India Company of the Franc Machine wanted to seize the commercial port of Portugal, and Portugal was defeated, so he asked people everywhere to help in the war, and my father-in-law saw that there was an opportunity, so he also took the brothers to get a piece of the pie, and took advantage of the defeat of the East India Company, and the fleet was about to escape, so he sent someone to rob two of the defeated Dutch ships, you see, it can be used by repairing it." ”

Zhang Jing was speechless when she heard this, and when the ship approached the big ship of the Franc machine moored in the sea, then the Franc machine put down the hanging basket, and everyone boarded it one after another.

That Zhang was the worst in front of the light, his body was already weak, and he tied his hands and feet, and when he went into the sea, he felt dizzy, and then vomited all over the place.

Zhang Jingyi ignored him, and when he arrived on the deck of the big ship, the big ship raised its sails, and Yang Fan rode the wind and waves.

He couldn't help but ask the Thirteen Tigers again: "Your father-in-law, what kind of person is he, he can have such a career in the sea, and he is not a nameless person." ”

The Thirteen Tigers said: "This ...... But it can't be said, how can we, who are thieves, reveal our own deeds? You are Qincha, but you are very courageous, the villain respects you, but on this sea, it is better not to ask people for the way at will, this is a taboo. ”

Zhang Jingyi laughed and said: "I naturally know the rules in this sea, I just want to test it, what if I ask it?" ”

Thirteen Tigers: "......"

The big ship walked for a day and a night before taking advantage of the fog in the early morning to slowly enter a port.

Zhang Jingyi didn't know where this was, and when he got to the dock, he saw that this was an island, although the island was not big, but the sparrows were small, and there were all kinds of organs.

Here, it seems to be very cold, and there is no one to greet you.

The man got out of the boat before the light, and the man had fainted.

Zhang Jing glanced at him in disgust, but ignored anything.

Immediately, Zhang Jingyi asked the Thirteen Tigers: "Since Benhou has come, why didn't Beibatian come to meet?" ”

The Thirteen Tigers smiled and said, "Please." ”

After that, he led Zhang Jingyi towards the depths of the island, and when he arrived at a house, he said again: "Please." ”

Zhang Jingyi stepped forward, and Wang Cheng and the others wanted to follow.

But the Thirteen Tigers stopped them: "Stay here." ”

Wang Cheng's face was full of worry, and he couldn't help but hold down the handle of the knife on his waist, and sneered: "What does this mean? ”

The Thirteen Tigers said: "Don't worry, if you really want to be unfavorable to Qincha, even if you are always by his side, what can you do?" ”

Wang Cheng couldn't help but glare at him, and seemed to know that the words of the thirteen tigers were reasonable, but he didn't say anything.

When I get here, it's really a man-made knife and I am a fish.

Zhang Jingyi went straight into the house.

But I saw a little maid here, and I didn't see the legendary Beibatian.

It seems to be a study, which not only has a collection of books, but also has all kinds of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Zhang Jing asked the maidservant, "What about the master here?" ”

The maidservant replied, "Not now." ”

Zhang Jingyi was curious and said, "Why is this?" ”

The maid said: "The master said, if you want to see, you need to be tested first." ”

Zhang Jingyi: "......"

The maid said: "If you pass the exam, Qin Cha will be a guest, so she will naturally treat each other with courtesy, and she will naturally make amends when the time comes." But if you can't pass the test, you will naturally ask Qin to send a road back to your home, and from then on, everyone's well water will not violate the river water, and it will have nothing to do with it. ”

Zhang Jingyi was angry and said: "I thought that Bei Batian was a trustworthy person, but who knew that he was making a fool of himself here, and he really didn't live up to his name." ”

The maid didn't speak, but took a roll and sent it to Zhang Jingyi.

As soon as Zhang Jing looked down, he immediately understood what the North Overlord meant.

This so-called test paper is actually a few questions, one is to ask Zhang Jingyi to answer how the Dutch East India Company operates, and the other is to ask about the specialties of various places......

In general, they are all problems related to maritime trade.

At this time, Zhang Jingyi knew why there was such a so-called exam.

Actually, I wanted to get to the bottom of it.

They don't know whether the court's appeasement is true or not, but since the appeasement, the biggest intention is to use these people in the North Batian to conduct maritime trade.

But if the imperial court doesn't know anything about maritime trade, but it carries out maritime trade in the name of appeasement, then it may be that the appeasement is fake, and it is true to deceive the pirates to land.

If Zhang Jingyi was a messenger who knew all about overseas affairs, then the situation might have been different, indicating that the imperial court had a preliminary understanding of maritime trade, so it was determined to follow the example of the East India Company, hoping to make huge profits in the vast ocean.

Zhang Jing pouted and said: "I hate answering the questionnaire the most, so I will tell you the situation of the East India Company directly, and you can go and answer it." ”

Speaking of this, his expression became serious, and he said: "However, I only have one sentence, and after I relay it, he will never come to see each other again, so Ben Hou will leave, as he said, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and it has nothing to do with it." ”
