Volume 1 Rise in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 41 The Character Team Fights
The New Year of the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu passed peacefully, and the hearts of the Black Shark Gang were different, and more and more signs of chaos appeared. Chen Mancang and Meng Chengbi were like tormenting in a frying pot, and after the first month, a task finally fell on the head of the team.
The outer hall spies reported that there was a merchant ship that departed from Ganmaxi in the Pengxiang Kingdom and went to the old port to trade a batch of golden silk nanmu with the Ming people, which is said to have as many as 100 roots. Although the value of the golden silk nanmu is very high, the other brigades are really not interested.
Because even if they snatched these things, they would have to work hard to dispose of them. If you can't find an Aketo to trade, it won't be worth anything to someone from another country. In addition, at present, Majapahit is about to hit the old port, and it is difficult to say whether anyone is willing to trade this batch of goods.
In the end, this job was taken over by Chen Mancang with joy, first of all, he had the contact address of the Ming merchant in the old port, and he was not afraid that he would not be able to find the Ming merchant. Second, he must find a chance to get rid of Fu Ming and the gang of Ziyuan Zizi team thorns, recently they have been working against themselves, who is not bothered!
At the sound of whining horns, the second squadron of the Jizi team was already neatly lined up on the deck of the Jizi warship. However, Fu Ming's first squadron has not yet appeared, which makes Chen Mancang very annoyed! After waiting for another half an hour, the people of the first squadron arrived belatedly under the leadership of Fu Ming, and one by one they were still yawning.
Fu Ming saw Chen Mancang and the people of the second squadron who had been on the ship for a long time, and apologized without smiling, very insincere.
Chen Mancang snorted and ignored the dying man. The boss of the ship set sail, and he returned to the cabin to rest.
Fu Ming and the old brothers behind him squeezed their eyes, and a sneer appeared on the corner of their mouths. Let's wait for the war to start, and see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill your surname Chen! and that nasty master, Meng Chengbi, also died and pulled the ground together!
A few of them returned to the cabin to recuperate, waiting for the coming moment of battle!
"Squadron Fu, the merchant ship has been discovered, Captain Chen asked me to inform you, ready to call my brother to fight!"
A voice woke Fu Ming from his sleep, and wiped the corners of his mouth indiscriminately.
"Good! I know, come up right now! ”
Then Fu Ming began to wake up the rest of the first squadron members from room to room, and cursed in his mouth: TMD, these pigs, Lao Tzu sleeps, they all sleep with them, and they are not afraid of being slaughtered in their sleep!
When he came to the deck with a group of confused team members, he saw that the people of the second squadron were already lined up in a neat phalanx, waiting with spears in hand. I couldn't help but take a sip: fake look!
"Whoa! Captain Chen, where is the merchant ship, why didn't I see it? Fu Ming looked at the sea in the distance, but he didn't see the shadow of the merchant ship, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Bang!" As soon as Fu Ming finished asking, the door of the cabin they came out of had been closed, and it seemed that the sound had fallen from the inside. Suddenly, he had an ominous premonition, and before he could react, he heard another burst of shouts: "Kill!" ”
The second squadron that was neatly lined up next to him suddenly pointed the tip of its gun at itself and pressed it up with neat steps. Only a few members of the old self-character team reacted and drew their swords to resist, and the rest of the newcomers were so stupidly overturned by the barrel.
"Chen Mancan, you shitty thing! Actually plotted against Lao Tzu!! Brothers, fight with them! Fu Ming reacted suddenly, and hurriedly withdrew a newcomer in a daze to block a shot for himself, so that he had a chance to pull out the knife on his waist.
"Thorn!"
"Close!"
"Thorn!"
……
Liu Er's cold voice continued to sound on the Jizi warship, followed by the wails of the members of the first squadron and the retreating crowd.
Fu Ming has a lot of strength and a short stature, and wants to break into the phalanx of the first squadron. Helplessly, the spears stabbed by others rolled like waves, and after the row was pierced, the back row stepped forward and continued to stab forward, rolling in turn. Just the tea kung fu killed more than half of the people in the first squadron, and the rest rushed to the side of the ship in the dark.
"Chen Mancang, don't deceive people too much! If you kill me, go back to help the master settle accounts with you! Fu Ming had already been shot and was stabbed in the thigh, so he could only hide behind everyone and threaten at the same time.
"Humph! Clown! I will kill all of you first, and then go to the old port to recruit a group of new people to come over, which means that you and the pioneers of the original Zizi team have unfortunately died in battle, and only these recruits are left! Do you think I'll be punished? Haha~" Chen Zuyi laughed out loud after speaking, and finally let out the evil anger in his heart!
"You! You despicable and shameless villain! I'm fighting with you! Fu Ming was so angry that he had nothing to say, so he could only fight hard!
"Dangchang!"
"Dangchang!"
"Captain Chen, we surrender! Spare our lives! A few newcomers suddenly threw away their swords and surrendered on their knees, while the rest of the people also learned from them to throw away their weapons and surrender.
Fu Minghe looked at them incredulously and stayed on the spot. Although their force value is not high, they never thought of surrendering, even on the night of the sneak attack.
"Humph! The soft bones don't deserve to stay in my team, kill them all! ”
Chen Mancang didn't look at it, and turned around directly. In fact, his original intention was to leave these surrendered people, but Meng Chengbi insisted that they all be killed.
The reason is simple, it is impossible for the people involved in the second squadron to betray themselves, only these surrendered people are the most unreliable! Only the dead don't talk nonsense! Those warship sailors were dumb, and after a long time they had turned into saw-mouthed gourds, and they wanted to get a hint of news from them.
After another moment, all those who were about to surrender and the thorns fell under the spears, and only a few jumped overboard, but it was almost impossible to survive.
"TMD Lao Tzu... Old..."
Fu Ming finally couldn't finish what he wanted to say, and his head tilted and died. Blood flowed down the gutters and into the sea, attracting countless sharks cruising around the ship. There were also a few desperate howls before dying, and they were the same people who had dived before.
"Hurry up and clean up! We're going to stop the merchant ship later!" Chen Mancang urged everyone to clean up the deck.
The newcomers of the second squadron who were stunned came back to their senses, some people excitedly began to clean up, some people fell to the side of the ship and vomited, in short, there was a chaos.
This time, everyone in the first squadron was killed, and none of the second squadron died, only a few were slightly injured, which did not affect the next operation at all. This brought the rookie of the second squadron the confidence that he had before.
By the time they had finished packing, it was already noon, and they saw from afar the merchant ships that had departed from Ganmazi, and they were coming from the side. Chen Mancang made people fly the pirate flag, which is also the rule of the sea. In the past, they didn't understand, they just felt that raising the flag when they got close could catch the other party off guard.
In fact, piracy and robbery itself is a very damaging thing, so the older generation of pirates has a rule, that is, to fly the pirate flag from a distance to give people a way to live. If the other party's ship is about to run away, it will be a great blessing for him. If you don't run, it's a strange life!
This is in line with the "Book of Changes": the avenue is fifty, the sky is forty-nine, and people escape from it.
It's a pity that the merchant ship was not so lucky, and after struggling a little more, it was still hooked by a huge anchor hook and merged with its own name.
The guards on the merchant ship, who only had more than 20 people, were also brave, and fought hard with their own team, and they were all cleaned up in the end. However, he seriously injured one member of his own team and slightly injured ten people. Fortunately, there are no remnants, otherwise people would really not be able to use them.
The owner of the ship's cargo and a few fellows were trembling and pressed out of the cabin, typical Nanyangs, both thin and fat, quite dark.
Liu Er pulled the boss to scare him, and swindled out another 2,000 taels of silver tickets, and finally left 100 into the boss's arms. They tied up the men again and threw them into the hold, and the two ships continued on to the old port.
When you arrive at the docks, you will be escorted to the lowest cabin of the merchant ship. Chen Mancang took a few people to Li Deyi's residence, which was a small courtyard in an alley.
"Knock knock, knock knock!"
"Here we go! Who to look for? A young man in his twenties opened the door and saw that there was an anti-theft chain inside.
"Let's look for Boss Li Deyi, I have a batch transaction here!"
"He's back to Daming, and he won't be back until a few days!" Saying that, the young man was about to close the door, but was blocked by Chen Mancang with his hand. The other party frowned and looked unkind.
"Little brother, don't get me wrong! Last time, Boss Li said that if he was not in Nanyang, it would be the same for his younger brother Li Dexiao, so please ask the little brother to give me a shout! ”
"Oh? You were the last customer who sold spices and namjo, right? Faux pas! I am Li Dexiao! The young man said as he opened the courtyard door completely.
"It turns out that you are Boss Xiao Li! Disrespectful! Disrespectful! Chen Mancang hurriedly and politely surrendered his hand.
"Your guest, your surname? Come in and talk! Li Dexiao let everyone into the living room, and asked the subordinates to serve tea.
"The contemptible surname is Chen Mingman, last time I traded with my cousin with Boss Li!"
"I don't know what goods Boss Chen brought this time?"
"One hundred golden silk nanmu, each three feet long and four feet long, four feet to six feet thick." Where does Chen Mancang know wood, this is all from the merchant on the ship, he just needs to draw a scoop according to the gourd.
"Oh?! How much is Boss Chen going to sell per square foot? ”
"100 taels!" After Chen Mancang finished speaking, he closed his mouth and didn't say a word more, for fear of revealing the bottom.
"Tsk! The price is high enough! If they are all six-foot thick golden silk nanmu, the price of 100 taels and one foot is acceptable, the key is that you are four to six feet of mixed wood, high! It's high! ”
Li Dexiao paced back and forth in the living room, touching his chin with his hand from time to time, and said that he was taller. Seeing that Chen Mancang was about to faint, he stopped, as if he had made up his mind.
"4 to 6 feet of mixed wood, I can only give you 80 taels per foot! Boss Chen, what do you think? ”
Chen Zuyi also pretended to think for a while, and then nodded in agreement. Li Dexiao called the man's cart and went to the dock to measure the wood together.
As a result, it is indeed a six-foot golden silk nanmu on a four-foot island, and more than half of them are more than five feet, which makes Li Dexiao secretly happy!
In the end, the total settlement was 272,000 taels, and Li Deyi took out a thick pile of silver tickets from Tianbao Qian Zhuang to deliver. After the transaction was completed, Li Dexiao consciously took a big advantage and wanted to invite Chen Mancang to drink flower wine in the Qinglou. was politely rejected by Chen Mancang, and he was still in a hurry to recruit people and return. The two had to agree to meet again next time.
