So.

Zhu Fan shouted on the deck: "Where is the person on this ship whose official position is second only to Li Hu? ”

"The subordinates are here!"

As soon as Zhu Fan finished speaking, he saw a stout lieutenant squeezing out of the crowd.

In an undisguised tone of joy, he shouted.

Without waiting for Zhu Zhang's culture, the stout lieutenant saluted and said: "Zhou Xin, a hundred households in the subordinate governor's mansion, meet His Royal Highness the King of Qin." ”

"Zhou Xin, Li Hu intends to murder the remnants of the people, and has a bad intention, so he will be imprisoned quickly."

Zhu Fan didn't talk nonsense, and directly sentenced Li Hu's crime.

Zhu Fan was worried that Zhou Xin was unwilling to do his best, and gave a heavy reward: "As long as you can guarantee that Li Hu will not die unexpectedly before being escorted to the imperial prison, this king will guarantee that you will be promoted to the position of a thousand households." ”

Zhou Xin has been working for hundreds of households for a long time, and he can't be promoted, which makes him a little disheartened, but he didn't expect that this time he just got out of the mission, and this opportunity for promotion actually hit him in the face.

He was immediately overjoyed and said, "Please rest assured, His Royal Highness King Qin, his subordinates will ensure that Li Qianhu enters the edict unscathed." ”

It seems that such a guarantee does not carry enough weight.

Zhou Xin also added: "His Royal Highness King Qin, if you want to resolve the misunderstanding with the Tan people, it is not enough to just send sailors to stop those who drive the fireboat. ”

"There are a few people who know the subordinates, and they can help you communicate with the Tan people."

This time it was Zhu Fan's turn to be surprised.

He didn't expect that he would find out and replace Li Hu, and he would be able to bring him such an unexpected joy.

Zhu Fan hurriedly nodded and said, "Very good, quickly gather people who know Tan Min's dialect." ”

"As long as they can appease the restless Tan people, this king will also give you a credit."

Under the heavy reward, Zhou Xin can be said to be full of motivation.

Not only did he quickly arrange his henchmen, but Li Hu, who was crying and begging for mercy, sealed his mouth with a strip of cloth.

Then he was dragged under the cabin of the ship and let his henchmen watch it.

At the same time, he beckoned the lieutenant who knew the Tanmin language and asked them to assemble on the deck.

And during this period, Zhu Fan also took advantage of his free time to say to a few sailors with complicated expressions:

"As long as you can stop it, those Tan people will light the fire boat, whether you want to be promoted or ask for money, this official can satisfy you."

The honest sailors didn't think that they could get benefits for their errands.

They looked at each other several times.

In the end, it was the bronze sailor, and he stammered: "His Royal Highness King Qin, we haven't thought about what we want yet, can we wait for us to finish our errand and come to reply to you?" ”

Zhu Fan laughed when he heard this.

Then he nodded in agreement: "As long as I respond to Tianfu, no matter when you make a request, it's fine." ”

A few sailors got the answer they wanted, plus the trip was not to kill the poor.

After a few greetings to each other, they pulled the hemp rope that had fallen into the water on the deck, and quietly fell into the water along the rope with agility that did not match their wooden character.

In less than a moment, they were seen swimming against the current and appearing around several fireships.

Then, I saw the black shadows flashing on the ship, and all the torches on the fire ship were extinguished.

At this time, Zhou Xin, who was a little out of breath, also came to Zhu Fan with more than a dozen lieutenants who knew Tan Min's dialect.

Although Zhou Xin looks like a reliable and capable person.

After the puppet, Zhu Fan still asked the captain: "Can you all communicate with the Tan people without barriers?" There is no ambiguity in the speech? ”

Now although the Ming Dynasty has implemented the Hongwu official rhyme.

However, most of those who can speak official language are officials and scholars.

It is all too common for other ordinary people to have different accents across a mountain.

As for the Tan people who have been living on the ship.

I am afraid that the words they speak are even more different from those on land.

Zhu Fan was worried that the Tan people, who were already hostile.

And because of the difference in words, the misunderstanding between the two sides was deepened.

It was a trivial matter for him to run in vain, and he was afraid that he would spoil the naval plan proposed by Mr. Lin.

Facing Zhu Fan's concerns, Zhou Xin glanced at the captain who was standing in a faction.

Immediately, someone reassured: "Your Royal Highness the King of Qin, rest assured, my family is on the coast, and my family sells oil, and there are often Tan people who come to my house to get oil, and what they say is not much different from the official dialect in the southeast." ”

Immediately afterwards, several more lieutenants from the coast made similar answers, and also said a few words of Tanmin.

Zhu Fan listened to their assurances and felt that there were no loopholes.

The words of several people are quite similar to that.

Bian nodded and said, "Very good, wait for those few Tan people who drive the fireboat to be caught." ”

"Tell them that this king has no ill will towards the Tan people, and that he has a great gift for them."

The lieutenant, who knew the dialect of the Tan people, felt that this was just a trivial matter, so he nodded his head again and again.

But Zhou Xin didn't know whether he was eager to make meritorious contributions, or coveted Zhu Zhang's thigh.

He hurriedly proposed: "His Royal Highness King Qin, it is enough to leave two people for the translation." ”

"For the rest, you should send them to sail through the gathering place of the Tan people first, and tell everyone what you are coming for."

"Lest they see that the fire attack is frustrated and they run away in a swarm of the night, it will be in vain."

In the end, Zhu Fan still has some experience in governance.

I didn't expect this possibility that Zhou Xin said.

However, he has studied with Lin Che for so long, and he is not the kind of gentleman who does not understand human feelings.

knew that if it was Zhou Xin's words.

Order these lieutenants to go on an adventure in the den of the Tan people.

Perhaps, when it is too bright, the small boat that these people are riding in will not be able to row into the nest of the Tan people.

After all, in the case of the manifestation of hostility on the part of the Tan people.

And let them go to the enemy's lair, which is no different from sending people to death.

As a result, Zhu Fan not only rejected Zhou Xin's proposal.

He also directly pointed out the danger and said: "Now the people of Tanmin still don't know the purpose of this king's coming here. ”

"If these lieutenant brothers, when the boat approaches, the Tan people will also send some people who are proficient in water nature to drag them into the water."

"Zhou Qianhu's plan, isn't it trapping the king in injustice?"

These dozen or so captains who are proficient in the words of the Tan people are all ready to die.

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness King Qin, who should have been high above and ignored the life and death of his subordinates, actually cared so much about their safety, and many people were greatly moved in their hearts for a while.

Zhou Xin didn't know what Zhu Fan was thinking, and said in surprise: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, I am the captain of the Son of Heaven. ”

"This trip is ordered by His Majesty, and I am at your disposal, so I should naturally go to the soup for you to die in the fire, how can there be any reason not to go in case of danger?"

Zhou Xin's loyal words are a generous statement.

However, the dozen or so lieutenants standing next to him rolled their eyes in unison.

It's not that you're risking your life to deal with those people.
