Chapter 123: Pirates, Pirates

Zhao Ta stood quietly at the bow of the pirate ship, several people stood behind him, no one spoke, except for the sound of the sea ship breaking the waves, there was no movement.

Plotting against Yelu Dashi, stealing the sky to change the sun to the right, passing through the southeast coast, the three pieces of paper in the small box in the study slowly stretched.

After a while, Zhao Ta laughed at himself and turned around.

Behind him, at the front was a middle-aged man, handsome and handsome, with a light beard, wearing the highest standard of the commander in the Great Song Army, and bowed down and said: "Huang Jue has seen the son, and the son's demeanor is still the same." ”

Zhao Ta looked at him and smiled: "Get up, how about this time?" ”

Huang Jue got up and said with a smile: "Childe has a good trick to get rid of the golden cicada." ”

Zhao Ta nodded: "Huang Jue, you are a capital crime." ”

Huang Jue shook his head and said, "If it weren't for Gongzi, Huang Jue would have died when he served in the Imperial City Division ten years ago!" ”

Zhao Ta sighed lightly: "Is Xiao Apple okay?" ”

Huang Jue said: "Childe is worried, everything is fine, I just hate not to die for Childe!" ”

Zhao Ta shook his head and said, "There are a few children, don't say such nonsense." ”

Huang Jue smiled, showed a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and said, "Childe, it is precisely because there are several children that I am not afraid of death." ”

Zhao Ta was thoughtful, then looked at Huang Gu who was shrinking back on the side, and hummed: "Look at your brother, and then look at your own house." ”

Huang Gu clicked his eyes, wanted to say that his martial arts were higher than his brother, and he was a little embarrassed to look at this boat, and bowed his head and said, "Yes!" ”

Zhao Ta said: "Ma Zheng and they are all settled? ”

Huang Jue said: "All blindfolded and gagged, in the cabin of the ship behind." ”

Zhao Ta nodded, and looked at the group of people behind him, only to see that there were two people standing in the head, one in his fifties, with a huge head, a round face, and a fat body, but he was wearing a green robe that did not match him.

The other was a young man, well-mannered, strong and sturdy, with his arms open, and his waist tightened with only a cloth belt.

Huang Jue pointed to the fat man in the green robe and said: "Childe, this fat man is the thunder tiger, one of the leaders of the largest group of pirates between Liangzhejiang Road and Fujian Road, nicknamed Rolling Mine." ”

When Zhao Ta heard this, he saw that after Huang Gu introduced his family, this thunder tiger immediately stepped forward and knelt on the ground, shouting in his mouth: "Sinners thunder tiger, long live my emperor!" ”

Zhao Ta raised his eyebrows, Huang Jue next to him was stunned, and scolded: "What nonsense, I think you don't want to live anymore!" ”

Lei Laohu kowtowed a few times on the ground and said: "In Lei Laohu's heart, the prince is an official, not now, and will be in the future." ”

Zhao Ta glanced at Huang Jue and teased: "This person is very suitable for being an official in the court?" ”

Huang Jue said embarrassedly: "How do you know that he is so nonsense, fierce and domineering at sea, how can he still have such a face." ”

When the thunder tiger heard that he was an official, his heart suddenly burst into flames, and he said: "The official family is ......."

Huang Jue immediately said coldly: "Call the prince!" ”

Lei Laohu replied "hehe": "Yes, yes, the prince looks at me as if I am an official?" ”

Zhao Ta touched his chin, it's really hard to say, what kind of official can he be as a big pirate leader who crisscrosses the sea?

Huang Jue sneered: "Lei Laohu, is it to ask for an official with the prince?" What did you say before you came, there are no rules at all? ”

Lei Laohu suddenly woke up when he heard this, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, the Fujian Road appeasement in front of him made Lord Huang famously ruthless, and he himself was the great pirate on the sea, and he was nicknamed Haijiao!

Lei Laohu hurriedly stretched out his hand and slapped himself, and said: "Lei Laohu has never read a book, and his words are missing, please don't blame the prince." ”

Zhao Ta smiled and said: "You are honest in your words, but as long as you do things well for this king, there will be no shortage of official positions, get up." ”

Lei Laohu bowed again and retreated, and then Huang Jue pointed at the sturdy young man and said, "Lord Wang, this is Zheng Guang, nicknamed Rolling Sea Shrimp." ”

Zheng Guang hurriedly stepped forward to bow down: "Sinner Zheng Guang, please meet the prince." ”

Zhao Ta looked at him, this Zheng Guang is just a little pirate at the moment, with two or three broken ships under his command, seventeen or eighteen people, and he has not yet achieved a great name in later generations, the person is mentioned by him and Huang Gu, otherwise Huang Gu would not bring this kind of small shrimp to come.

Zhao Ta said: "Zheng Guang, why are you a pirate? ”

Zheng Guang was stunned when he heard this, and said: "Lord, if you can't eat, if you can't drink, you will naturally go to sea to become a thief." ”

Zhao Tan sneered: "Isn't that sentence, if you want to be an official, kill people and set fires to be recruited?" ”

"Huh?" Zheng Guang suddenly had a spirit, and suddenly lowered his head and said, "Lord Wang, Zheng Guang doesn't dare!" ”

Zhao Ta said: "Get up." ”

Zheng Guang retreated to the back, but he was sweating all over, and he was suspicious in his heart, how could this prince see what he was thinking at a glance? This is also a bit of a wickedness.

Huang Jue then introduced more than a dozen pirate leaders, all of whom were pirates from Liangzhejiang Road in the East China Sea to Fujian Road, but the biggest of them was Lei Laohu, and his own Haijiao.

After Zhao Ta saw them one by one, he couldn't help but secretly shake his head and want to laugh, the pirates wanted to be officials, but Huang Jue, a feudal official, went to be a thief under his own orders, which was in response to Zheng Guang's poem that was passed down to future generations.

It is said that Zheng Guang later became famous and was recruited, and went to Fuzhou Mansion to attend a party, full of officials, or talking and laughing, or reciting poems, and no one was willing to deal with him.

Zheng Guang stood up angrily and said, "I am a rough man, and I have a poem dedicated to everyone. ”

Then he chanted loudly: "Zheng Guang has poems and officials, and the civil and military affairs always seem to be average. The officials are officials but thieves, and Zheng Guang is a thief but an official. ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Ta glanced at Zheng Guang a few more times, and couldn't help but see that the young man was a little hairy, and secretly wondered if he had offended these two kings, and he would kill the wine in a moment.

But at this time, an island appeared in front of him, Huang Jue ordered the boat to be moored, and Zhao Ta said, "Where is this?" ”

Huang Juedao: "But there is no name, I have explored it before, it is just a desert island, far away from Dengzhou, Liaodong, and Goryeo, and no one is willing to care." ”

Zhao Ta looked at it and saw that there were many wild peach trees blooming brilliantly on that island, and he couldn't help but say: "This peach blossom blooms well, why don't you call it Peach Blossom Island." ”

Huang Jue smiled: "The son is elegant, and from now on this island will be called Peach Blossom Island." ”

When everyone went to the island, there were too many of those sea boats, so they docked around the island, and Zhao Ta smiled and said: "These ships can go to fight Goryeo." ”

Huang Jue said: "In the past two years, the shipyard in Quanzhou has become more and more proficient, that is, many large families in the south have also come to buy ships, and there are also those from the west around the sea, as long as they can be made, they can all be sold." ”

At this time, a lot of tents had been set up on the island, according to the appearance of the army, a handsome tent in the middle, after the two walked in and sat down, Zhao Ta said: "Quanzhou is prosperous in maritime trade, and it will probably continue to prosper, so it needs to be managed well." ”

Huang Jue said: "Since this is the case, it is the Pu family's ......"

Zhao Ta frowned: "Are you still so ignorant of advance and retreat?" ”

Huang Jue said: "Their current foundation is in Guangzhou, but their subordinates have already set their sights on Quanzhou, and sooner or later they will reach out." ”

Zhao said: "How many ships do they have now?" ”

Huang Jue said: "There are always one or two hundred, and it is the largest in the South China Sea at the moment." ”

Zhao Ta pondered for a moment: "Find a chance to uproot it, if you don't pull it out now, it will be a scourge in the future!" ”

Huang Jue said: "If you don't send official ships, your subordinates and these pirates can also fight back and forth, but I am afraid that the Pu family will entangle the pirates on the other side of the South China Sea, and I am afraid that they will lose both." ”

Zhao Tan sneered: "Find a way to eat him, the damage is nothing, the property of the Pu family is enough to compensate, and the silver in the hands of this king will be given to the northwest, and if he falls here, it is enough for this king to raise 100,000 soldiers in the southeast." ”

Huang Gu was surprised: "Son, does the Pu family really have so much wealth?" ”

Zhao Ta said: "Half thief and half businessman, across the seven seas, operating for hundreds of years, I'm afraid I will say less." ”
