Chapter 160: Seventy-two Warriors of the Demon Swinger (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The remnant sun was like fire, burning dozens of miles of coast.
Seventy-two warriors led their horses, and Yuguan boarded the two three-masted ships sent by Wang Huo and set sail!
Yang Ge stood at the stern of the boat, staring at the Nansha Bay that was fading away in the twilight, in a trance, he seemed to see countless shadowy figures on the golden beach, and they waved to him, as if wishing him a smooth journey......
He pursed the corners of his lips and smiled and waved at them.
At the right time, a young pirate bowed lightly and walked behind Yang Ge, waved his hand and said, "Second master, our big boss will hold a banquet in the captain's room to entertain the heroes and heroes, please appreciate the glory!" ”
Yang Ge turned around: "Let's go!" ”
The young pirate turned sideways and made a "please" gesture to Yang Ge: "The little one leads the way for the second master." ”
……
on the coast.
Covered in wind and frost, the children of the hundred and ten rivers and lakes watched the two three-masted ships slowly melt into the end of the fiery red sea, all with collapsed faces and indescribable loss.
"It's all your fault, I kept saying last night to rest early, rest early, hurry up early today, you have to drink, it's okay now, I didn't catch up!"
"Then didn't you also say that you have to get stuck with the second master and they arrived before they left, so it was difficult for the second master to refuse?"
"If you want me to say, it's all to blame Yang Tiansheng for leading us in circles in Zhoushan......"
"Yes, it's all to blame Yang Tiansheng, and he is not afraid of eating alone and running away ......"
"I said you're almost done, why doesn't the second master take you to play? It's not that you are not good at learning arts, and you are afraid that you will die in Dongying? ”
"Saying that we are not good at learning, didn't you also board the ship of the Dongdu Expedition?"
"I didn't get on the boat, it was because the second master didn't see me, my 'desperate San Lang' Qin Yong has been crisscrossing Xiangxi for 12 years, and I haven't tasted a defeat in the Qi Sea Realm, and I can't stand up to the four red sticks under Yang Tiansheng's guys?"
"I'll go, this guy is 'Desperate San Lang' Qin Yong? Don't argue with him, this guy is crazy and fights everyone! ”
"It's the little brother who is clumsy......"
"Stop arguing, come and see!"
"See what?"
"What's that?"
"Let me see ......"
A large group of sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes with swords and swords gathered in front of the stone monument at the landing entrance, and stared at the dense fonts on the stone monument with wide eyes.
There is no need for others to explain, the name of "'Manifest Saint True Monarch' Yang Erlang" at the head has already told each of them who these names on the tablet are......
"I don't understand, it's just that the four red sticks of Mingjiao Aoki Hall can go, how can Shi Ping, the 'Mountain Sword' of Houtu Hall, also go? I've fought with that guy, and he's on par with me......"
"That's right, Xiang Jiaxiang is also a pewter spearhead, in the past year, he was slashed by the Jianghan bandit Han Sandao and three knives in Dongting Lake and vomited blood, this kind of goods can go, why can't I go?"
"Are your concerns a little bit problematic? Can't you see who are up there? Officers and soldiers, Mingjiao, White Lotus Sect, Xiang Family, Lianhuanwu...... How did these people come together? Shouldn't they be pinched to death when they meet? ”
"Grandma, don't you say that we haven't noticed it yet, even if the Ming Sect is over, the White Lotus Sect can also get together with the officers and soldiers? There are also the Xiang family and Lianwu, they seem to have a grudge, right? ”
"Officers and soldiers, thieves, cults, bandits, families, plus pirates who sail ships...... What a hodgepodge! ”
"Have you all just come out of the village? Don't you know that the original battle of Nansha Bay was fought by the five of them? It's just that the White Lotus Sect can also be mixed in, which is really something I didn't expect, isn't it...... The White Lotus Sect also has to learn the Ming Sect, and the court is not meaty, vegetarian, and unclear? ”
"Let's just say that there is a possibility that these people are not going for the Japanese Kou, but for the reputation of the second master?"
"Shhh...... As soon as you said this, I suddenly understood, although we all want to kill the Japanese and make a name for ourselves, aren't we all here for the reputation of the second master? ”
"Evil, the second master is really fucking evil, with his own strength, he is stunned to twist the officers and soldiers, anti-thieves, cults, water bandits, families, and pirates into a rope, I don't even accept my mother's son, just serve the second master!"
"Are you missing our people? If these people can get on the boat, who will refuse to obey the second master? Are you unwilling to accept it, or am I unwilling to accept it? ”
"You have a good point......
"What four old and seven heroes, what righteous alliance, the twelve factions of the Northland, and the eight families of Jiang Zuo, they are all fucking blind, really heroic, and it has to be our second master!"
"It's this reason, no matter what kind of martial arts in the north and south, the green forest of the official family, who doesn't give our second master three points of thin noodles? The official's face was swollen by the second master before, didn't he turn around and withdraw the second master's sea fishing documents? Return our second master to reinstatement? Look, will our second master take care of them? ”
"With a righteous heart and high martial arts, you can see not only the major affairs of the family and the country in your eyes, but also the suffering of the people...... He is not the first person in the rivers and lakes, who is the first person in the rivers and lakes? ”
"Hey, hey, what are you doing undressing?"
"Which brother has ink ingots on him? The younger brother wants to rub this inscription down and bring it back to Hangzhou, and the people of the world should hear their names, know their meanings, and know that my Shenzhou martial arts are not only those who deceive the good and fear the evil, but also the good sons and daughters who are loyal to the liver and courage, and have a good heart! ”
"I have what I have, my younger brother loves the way of Danqing the most after practicing martial arts, and he carries the four treasures of the study with him......"
"Wait, don't panic first, which brother has a good word, come up and give this tablet a name."
"The little brother is not talented, the word inherits the dragon gate, and he is willing to give it a try!"
"Really? Write two words, let's take a look......"
"What's the question? Seventy-two warriors of Xiping? ”
"Don't bring 'Xiping', the second master and the emperor don't deal with each other."
"That'...... Seventy-two warriors of Nansha Bay? ”
"Little family, little family!"
"The Seventy-Two Warriors?"
"Almost meaning, almost meaning......"
"Then let's just smash the seventy-two warriors, which is just in line with the name of our second master's 'Manifesting Saint True Monarch'."
"This is good, this is good!"
"What do you think?"
"No comment!"
"Can ......"
"Seventy-two Warriors of the Demons? Then the little brother is inscribed, huh? ”
"Hurry up, don't grind!"
"Is there enough ink ingots? I also rubbed a copy and brought it back to Gangneung...... It's not a trip in vain. ”
"Then I'll also rub a copy and bring it back to Taiyuan ......"
As night fell, the crowd lit torches, and the light of the jumping fire illuminated the black stone monument and the black clothes in their hands.
……
Two three-masted ships swayed above the sea like eternal night.
In the captain's room, Wang Huo set up a banquet to entertain the leaders of the Dongdu expedition, Yang Ge, Yang Tiansheng, Li Jincheng, Xiang Wuving, Zhou Fu, as well as Liu Tang, deputy of the embroidered clothes guard, and Nangong Feiying of the West Factory, all of which were listed.
After three rounds of drinking, Wang Hui, whose face was as red as a monkey's buttocks, ordered someone to take a sheepskin map and hang it on the wall.
"Please see ...... for the ranking"
Wang Huo got up with the table, staggered to the sheepskin map, and pointed to the two islands on the sheepskin map.
He first pointed to the island on the left: "This place is called Wudao, I dare not deceive you, the name of my old Wang Wufeng shipowner comes from the five peaks on this island that resemble five fingers, and this is the gathering place of the Dongying pirates, including those Franc pirates, who will stop here to replenish when they go to Dongying......"
"Of course, my old king also knows that this fanfare expedition to the east is definitely not just for these pigs and dogs."
"Please look here, the name here is 'Hirado', it is an important port for foreign trade exchanges in Dongying, and its status in Dongying is like our Hangzhou in the Great Wei Dynasty, the maritime merchants and islands of the entire East China Sea, and the merchants and pirates of the Franc machine are all ported in Dongying."
"The Toei daimyo here, named Matsuura Takanobu, where this person is located, has ruled Hirado for generations, and eighty percent of the Japanese in the entire East China Sea are under the control of the Matsuura family, including all the maritime merchants who pass through Hirado, they have to pay high commercial taxes to Matsuura Takanobu...... If you want to talk about the culprit of the wokou scourge on the southeast coast of our Great Wei Dynasty, it must be this person! ”
Speaking of this, he sighed a little and stroked his big bald head reflected in the firelight, and said: "Speaking of which, this person still has a lot of friendship with my old king, who was single-handedly roamed Dongying with the merchant ship, and got the support of this person, but in the face of national righteousness and great right and wrong, my old king is by no means ambiguous. ”
With a generous and righteous expression, he clenched his fists and threw his hands towards everyone present, as if he had made a great sacrifice.
Everyone stared at the parchment map for a moment, and then they all turned their eyes to Yango.
Yang Ge casually turned the wine glass in his hand, although he also drank a lot, but his face was not half drunk: "I said Lao Wang, ......"
Wang Huo immediately responded: "Second master, even if you command, if my old king can do it, there is no other word!" ”
Yang Ge smiled and said softly unhurriedly: "Do you know, I talked to Lord Shen Fashen, the commander of the embroidered guard, about you a while ago, what did I tell him?" ”
Wang Huo immediately showed a grateful expression: "The kindness of the second master, my old king remembers it in his heart, and he doesn't dare to ...... each other without teeth."
Yang Ge waved his hand to stop his ecstasy soup, and continued with a smile: "I told him, your old king was promoted to the imperial court by my Yang Lao Er, how the court arranged you, whether the official position is high or low, I Yang Lao Er has no opinion, but if anyone dares to turn over old accounts and take your life with your previous...... I'll have a lot of opinions! ”
Wang Huo was stunned, and opened his mouth to speak.
"Smack."
The wine glass in Yange's hand smashed through the parchment map and smashed it on the wall.
As soon as the cracking sound sounded, everyone in the cabin was refreshed, and the hazy wine in their eyes dissipated most of them in an instant, and there was also a little more dangerous aura in their eyes when they looked at Wang Hui.
Wang Hui's heart froze, and he immediately closed his mouth, but kept clasping his fists and hands at everyone.
"But how do I feel ......?"
Yang Ge still had a smile on his face, as if the wine glass was not smashed out by him: "You still don't change?" Why, do you still think that if you can't get along in the imperial court, continue to return to Dongying to be your Wufeng ship owner and the pirate king of the East China Sea? Are you still thinking about how to maintain the friendship with those village chiefs in Dongying, so that you can go over to get a piece of territory and become the king in the future? ”
"Smack!"
As soon as his words fell, Liu Tang and Nangong Feiying behind him slapped the table and stood up.
The other people in the banquet also restrained the smiles on their faces and looked at Wang Hui expressionlessly.
Wang Hui's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "Where is the second master, my old king has no such thoughts in his heart, we dare to swear to the sky, but as long as my old king still has half a rebellious heart in his heart, I will call my old king to wear a rotten stomach and die a good death!" ”
Yang Ge smiled and said softly without hurrying: "First, the road was chosen by yourself, not forced by me; Second, you are my guarantee to the court, if you want to go out of the court in the future, you should inform me in the future, so that I can go and protect your favor in the first place. ”
"Three, I have no objection at all to any Chinese sons and daughters opening up the country outside of the Great Wei, if you can really establish a country in Dongying, I will give you a thumbs up, but the premise is that you can't exchange it with Waiyi by selling the interests of your family...... Especially the little devils of Dongying! ”
"Do you understand?"
Wang Hui's face changed several times in succession, and at the end of the day, he hugged his fists and arched his hand: "The teachings of the second master, my old king must remember them, introspect every day, and dare not forget them for a moment!" ”
"Good."
Yang Ge nodded first, and then raised his chin at the sheepskin map with a big hole in the wall: "Now that you understand, put away this foolish thing and replace it with something reliable." ”
Wang Huo wiped a handful of sweat stains on his head, nodded and waved his hands like pounding garlic and said, "Second master, wait a minute, my old king will come when he goes." ”
He walked out of the cabin quickly, only to find that his vest was wet with cold sweat, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart: 'This guy's momentum is getting stronger and stronger......
The rest of the room also looked at Yang Ge with surprised eyes, muttering in their hearts, 'How can this guy understand everything?' ’
After a while, Wang Huo took a new silk cloth map and came in: "I've been waiting for a long time, ......I've been waiting for a long time."
He shook off the silk map in his hand, hung it to the place where the sheepskin map was hung, pointed to the map and said: "The good religion knows that although my old king has eaten seawater in the East China Sea for more than ten years, he has only been to some ports along the coast of Dongying, and has not gone deep into the interior of Dongying...... That's why I didn't take out this map before and show it to the ranks, who are all heroes of Shenzhou, so I don't dare to make the slightest mistake. ”
Yang Ge ignored his words to make up for himself, and picked up the oil lamp and stepped forward to carefully examine the silk map...... Most of the names on the map are unfamiliar to him, but looking at the overall terrain, it is indeed very close to the prawn territory of Dongying.
He asked, "Have you been to those ports?" ”
Wang Hui stepped forward and tapped several times along the coastline from the tail of the prawns (Hirado) to the middle of the prawns (Yokohama).
Yang Ge: "Where is the capital of Dongying?" ”
Wang Huo nodded at the junction between the tail of the prawn and the skull: "Back to the second master, Kyoto is ...... here."
Yang Ge: "Where are most of the fiercest and most powerful village chiefs in Dongying?" ”
Wang Huo glanced at him a little inexplicably, and didn't understand why he was so obsessed with the title of "village chief": "Hui Erye, Dongying is currently in a chaotic war, and the major names are each other, and they are fighting each other for many years, and the most powerful daimyo at the moment are mainly concentrated in the central and Kanto regions. ”
"In the middle of the country, there are 'Owari' Oda Nobunaga, 'Nagayashamaru' Asakura Yoshikei, and 'Tokugawa Ieyasu' 'the No. 1 Divine Arrow in the East Sea'."
"In Kanto, there are 'Dragons, Tigers, and Lions', 'Dragons of Echigo', Kenshin Uesugi, 'Kai Tigers' Takeda Shingen, and 'Sagami's Lion' Hojo Shiyasu."
"In addition, the only one who can count the names is the 'Male of the West Country' Maori Yuan......"
The more he elaborated, the more detailed he became, and it was obvious that his understanding of the interior of Dongying was not "all based on hearsay" as he himself said.
"That's it!"
Yang Ge interrupted his remarks and stretched out his hand to pull a straight line from Hirado at the shrimp tail on the map, all the way to Yokohama: "Since these village chiefs are concentrated in the central part and Kanto, then we landed from Hirado and pushed all the way here, and all these messy village chiefs were cleaned up in one wave...... Still fucking 'Dragon, Tiger and Lion'? Drink ~ Te! ”
Wang Huo's mouth opened wide, and he couldn't say anything before he finished speaking.
The rest of the people also looked at Yang Ge's hand in a daze, and couldn't say anything for a long time.
There was a long silence in the cabin, and the pin drop could be heard.
