Feng Shuo persuaded Liu Yifeng that they were black.

Of course, Zheng Zhilong was still against it, but he had to agree with the democratic vote of the four Han people 3 to 1.

Ironically, both in the East and the West, the crew is the most democratic.

On the surface of the sea, there are only two systems: democracy and dictatorship.

Dictatorship is the system that prevails most of the time, a system dominated by the captain. And when the captain's rule is problematic or the captain's state cannot continue to rule, the crew will choose the democratic system and elect a person who everyone is convinced.

This is because after the ship is out to sea, everyone needs to work together to control the ship and survive, so in the history of the East and the West, the rudiments of democracy appeared at the same time and were implemented most of the time.

Zheng Zhilong was affected, not only he was familiar with democratic voting, but he was also familiar with Liu Yifeng's favorite meeting mode. So after he saw that he lost the vote 3 to 1, he didn't struggle and decisively accepted the black and black.

But he still set his sights on Li Hongji, who was supposed to be his staunch ally, and did not understand the reason for his sudden defection. Liu Yifeng and Feng Shuo also wanted to know, in fact, both of them felt that Li Hongji would be on Zheng Zhilong's side, and Liu Yifeng was ready to pull everyone in to explain the ins and outs before voting.

Li Hongji put down his hand and said: "I just remembered one thing, this is what happened when we met Zhang Changgong, I found out at that time, but I ignored it, mainly I didn't think about it in that direction at all. ”

His words aroused great curiosity among the three people, and they did not speak and waited for him to explain.

"You know, although my official words are good, I am from Guanzhong. My official dialect was learned in the army, and the Yugoslav army must learn official dialect. ”

Liu Yifeng was reminded, and he suddenly discovered that the official language of the Ming Dynasty in this era is Mandarin!

The official dialect of the Ming Dynasty recorded in later generations is the Yingtianfu dialect in the Jiangnan region, and it doesn't matter whether it is the same as the Jiangnan dialect in later generations, but it is definitely not Mandarin.

The prototype of Mandarin is the North China dialect, the kind with a less heavy accent. Liu Yifeng was too accustomed to Mandarin, and Shuntianfu, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, was in the North China Plain, so he ignored these dark things under the lights for a while.

But he thought about it: This Ming Dynasty has too many differences, and Mandarin is not impossible to use as an official language.

I continued to listen to Li Hongji's explanation.

"Zhang Changgong had a strong Guanzhong accent when he spoke, I found out at the time, but I didn't care."

Not only did he not care, but in fact, Feng Shuo, Liu Yifeng and Zheng Zhilong didn't care. Even in the era when quality education was popularized in later generations, there were many people with accents in Mandarin. In this era, it is too normal to speak official with an accent, and even Liu Yifeng, who has been here for less than a year, is used to it.

The people from all over the world have accents, Feng Shuo has an accent, Zheng Zhilong has an accent, Boss Wang and Sun Erye have an accent, the people in the black market have an accent, and even Song Yingxing and Lu Ge have an accent.

You live in a group of salt-and-pepper Mandarin with various accents every day, and over time you will not be uncomfortable with the accents, but will only try to recognize what the people in those accents are saying.

The same is true of Li Hongji, although he has no accent in his official dialect and has long been accustomed to other people's accents, he still captured the accent of his hometown at that moment. However, he didn't care, because what Zhang Changgong said was too important, especially after he quickly took out the dog's head gold, his attention was all focused on there.

Zheng Zhilong was a little unconvinced: "Just because of the accent, you suspect that he is Zhang Xianzhong's person?" What if it was the Guanzhong man who was later taken away by Zhang Xianzhong? ”

Liu Yifeng also had to nod and agree that it was possible.

Li Hongji also nodded and continued to talk about his logic: "Assuming that what the big boss said is still true, he is Zhang Xianzhong's person, then Zhang Xianzhong will rest assured that the person who will be sent to perform the mission outside Jinshan City must be his cronies." In a strange place, among a group of strange people, who is most likely to become a cronie? Naturally, it's a fellow countryman. ”

A group of strange people in a strange place, it is very common for fellow villagers to hold together, there are many such people in later generations, and there are countless such people in this era, and the word township party is the best use in ancient times.

This logic makes sense, but there are still loopholes, and Zheng Zhilong is still not convinced.

"I know, you're right." Li Hongji patiently listened to him finish the loopholes in his logic, and continued to explain: "Only this is the only thing I will not vote for black and black, and there is also a key reason that I have analyzed the current situation, and the lesser of two evils is that I choose black to eat black." ”

Then he began to talk about how to choose the lesser of two evils.

It's actually quite simple.

The clues of the gold mine are very important, but no one has a way to solve the problem if Zhang Changgong is really Zhang Xianzhong's person, they brought the gold mine to fish for people outside Jinshan City, and they must have the confidence to have the possibility of an ambush.

The risk is so great that Li Hongji feels unbearable when he thinks about it calmly.

And if Zhang Changgong is informed, whether he is Zhang Xianzhong's person or not, the clues to the gold mine are gone. Li Hongji doesn't have to calm down for this loss, and he feels unacceptable when he thinks about it.

Black eats black, nothing more than 3 endings.

The other party is Zhang Xianzhong's people, and they are all happy, as long as they successfully kidnap Zhang Changgong or other people who know about the gold mine.

The other party is not, killing people and goods, they have firearms, and they have a great success rate if they are prepared to fight unprepared. Even if he accidentally missed the live report to the Maritime Safety Bureau, based on the many stories he heard in Yushan City and the deep meaning behind the purchase of the fire gun by the second grandfather of Zhushan City, he could guess that as long as he was not caught, the Maritime Safety Bureau would most likely not care at all.

As for moral condemnation, to be honest, Li Hongji dares to smuggle arms, although he is not a bad person, but the moral bottom line is not so high.

The worst thing is that the sneak attack failed, and if they were not caught, the result was not bad, the Maritime Administration would not care, and they could still dig for gold. Anyway, Zhang Changgong has proved that there is indeed gold in Jinshan City, just dig it slowly.

After figuring out all this, the lesser of two evils, the most rational Li Hongji temporarily changed his vote.

After hearing all this, Zheng Zhilong looked at Li Hongji for a while and said, "If you don't smuggle arms, you will definitely be able to achieve great things in the mainland!" ”

Li Hongji said a few words modestly, and Liu Yifeng complained in his heart with a smile: This kid overthrew the Ming Dynasty in the future, established the Great Shun, and served as the emperor for 42 days, so he can indeed be regarded as a person who has achieved great things.

In this way, Liu Yifeng's team unified their thinking and prepared to eat Zhang Xianzhong's gang in black.

And Zhang Xianzhong also came to his senses, and wanted to eat Liu Yifeng and Sun Li, and get their fire guns and horses.

As for Sun Li, they still don't know anything......
