Chapter 267 Isn't this Zhou Gangjing? Why was he demoted here?(1/4)
Chapter 267 Isn’t this Zhou Gang Jing? Why did you get demoted here? (Ten Thousand Words)
With Zhu Yunxi's order, the twelve warships were ready.
Every soldier held a bird gun and stared at the sea with all his attention. He would pull the trigger in his hand just by waiting for the order of the hundreds of officials.
Since the bird gun issued at this time was just a simple mesh rope gun. In order not to make the soldiers on the ship a target, Zhu Yunqi also ordered people to throw a torch stained with essential oil onto the sea, artificially creating an enemy's backlight angle.
The so-called fierce fire essential oil is just roughly refined gasoline.
Because the technique is too rough, the purity of each barrel of gasoline is different.
Therefore, it can only be used as a means of night lighting and as an evolution of hot tin oil for scenes such as defending cities and garrisons.
Seeing that Zhu Yunxi was so cautious, Chen Hai had a little higher opinion of the young Third Emperor grandson in his heart.
Because in his opinion, Zhu Yun was a noble man of heaven and wealth since he was a child. Even if he was not arrogant, he would never be so cautious.
But Zhu Yunxi's performance completely exceeded his expectations, making him feel that he was following the right person.
This is a person who can accomplish great things!
It’s hard to say that the future Ming emperor will be this person!
After Chen Hai had this understanding, he was even more respectful to execute Zhu Yunxi's orders, so that all the children of the Chen family were ready to set sail at any time.
However, he himself walked up to Zhu Yunxiu and showed his sense of existence.
"Three Emperors, you don't have to be so nervous."
"Caomin has also fought several times with the Japanese pirates. He knows the truth and the bottom line, and he can also make some tricks."
"There are as few as dozens of Japanese pirates, and the number of them is as many as dozens. It is already considered a large number of Japanese pirates who can have hundreds of people."
"Generally speaking, they don't have the courage to think about our big ships. We have at least one hundred people on each ship. Where can they have the courage to come?"
Zhu Yunxiu would not admit that he was timid. Seeing Chen Hai say this, he would even make a mistake.
"I know!"
"Just be careful and there is no big mistake. Besides, you can't let them relax too much, just treat it as a temporary drill."
When Chen Hai saw Zhu Yunxiu say this, he happily flattered the saying.
"Three Emperor Sun Yingming!"
"That's the reason. You can't let the men on the boat be too idle. You can easily cause trouble while you are idle, and you can easily get loopholes by the enemy!"
Seeing that Chen Hai was so good at chatting, Zhu Yunyu felt a little embarrassed to praise him, so he quickly used a move to turn to Dafa and distracted the topic.
"By the way, Mr. Chen just said how many fights have you fought with the Japanese pirates?"
"Old Chen?"
When Chen Hai heard the title of "Old Chen", he was so happy that he was about to explode. The Third Emperor Sun was indeed a consignee. We just missed a little bit of the noise. The Third Emperor Sun attached importance to us, the old man!
"I dare not be called the third emperor's grandson like this. Caomin has indeed fought several Japanese pirates over the years. He is quite famous on the seas in Fujian."
"Often Japanese pirates will avoid the flag of my Chen family tactfully and will not easily insult him."
Zhu Yunyu's understanding of Japanese pirates was, on the one hand, from the demonization of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, from the memory fragments remaining in his mind.
However, no matter which one, it doesn't seem to be very reliable.
Therefore, he was very eager to find someone who had really fought against Japanese pirates and give himself the real combat effectiveness of Japanese pirates.
"I wonder Mr. Chen, how powerful is the Japanese pirates' real combat power? Is it as exaggerated as the people in the capital said?"
Seeing Zhu Yunxiu ask this, Chen Hai immediately lowered his smile and changed into a solemn look.
"To be honest, it's not an exaggeration."
"However, there are differences between real Japanese pirates and fake Japanese. Real Japanese are really strong, and they are all experts."
"It is said that the real Japanese are all samurai from the Japanese side. They have practiced killing skills since childhood. However, because they followed the wrong master, the master was defeated, and they all lost their place to use their skills and could only go to the sea to make a living."
"If the third emperor grandson encounters a big stake in the real Japanese, Caomin recommends that you run away quickly."
"As long as our lucky ship pulls the sails, the Japanese pirates' small broken ships vomit blood, they can't catch up with them..."
"As for fake Japanese, it is the people who cannot survive along the Ming Dynasty who are shaved and pretended to be bald."
Zhu Yunqi also knew the difference between real Japanese and fake Japanese, but he didn't know how big the difference was between the two.
"Old Chen, how big is the difference between real Japanese and fake Japanese?"
Chen Hai thought about it after hearing this.
"It's all a bunch of scourges, what's the difference?"
"However, the real Japanese are even more cruel. They kill people and set fires at any time, leaving no way out for things."
"If the fake Japanese people are mainly robbed of wealth, as long as the merchant ship cooperates, they will not easily take human life."
"And the fake Japanese are even more cunning. Because they are familiar with the terrain of the Ming Dynasty, they often lead people deep into the inland, rob Linhai county towns, markets, etc., and occasionally they will pick a few wealthy families to rob the rich and help the poor, and distribute the robbed excess property to the local people."
"Therefore, every time the court launched a war against Japanese pirates, the coastal people would ventilate and send letters in advance, which caused the court to lose time."
After getting Zhu Yunxi's affirmation, Chen Hai unknowingly brought into the thinking of the officials and soldiers of the court, and drew a dividing line with his past life.
In fact, it is difficult for people like him who have been drifting on the sea for many years not to deal with Japanese pirates. There are even a few groups of Japanese pirates outside Fujian that he has raised, specifically used to deal with ignorant peers.
Otherwise, how could his Chen family monopolize one-stop industries such as sea ship production, sales, and transportation?
"So this is still there?"
After hearing Chen Hai's words, Zhu Yunyu gained some knowledge. It turns out that as early as the Ming Dynasty, there were traitors on China...
The two chatted for a while, suddenly they heard a familiar voice coming from the sea.
"Neighteen!"
"It's me!"
"I'm Liu Lizheng, I'm here to deliver things to the nobles!"
When Zhu Yunxiu heard that he was an old acquaintance, he immediately ordered all the members not to attack, but he did not release his guard. He then put down two small boats and went forward to contact him until the people on the small boat came back to pass the message and confirmed that there was no ambush. Then he ordered people to bring Liu Lizheng up to ask questions.
Liu Li was on the lucky boat and felt that his eyes were not enough. He patted the handrail and the mast.
"The noble man's ship is so grand. I'm afraid it won't cost thousands of taels of silver?"
When Chen Hai heard this, he couldn't help but smile and quip.
"My fellow villager, the mast you just touched is worth a thousand taels of silver, hehehe!"
"ah?"
Liu Lizheng hurriedly withdrew his hand and rubbed the mast hard with his sleeve, as if he was afraid of touching it.
He is also a coastal people who make a living by fishing all year round. He dreams of having a big boat that would be the best way to hold the whole village.
By then, Liu Li was going ashore to be the village chief and going to sea to be the captain. It would be majestic to think about it!
Therefore, seeing such a big ship lying across the sea, if he didn't find a reason to come up and take a look, he would have to slap himself in his dreams when he was sleeping.
"Liu Lizheng, why did you come so late?"
Liu Li was just hearing the noble man ask, and then he withdrew his eyes looking around and said with a flattering look on his face.
"After the nobles left today, the old man immediately led the young young man from the village to the county town. Seeing the fresh citrus in the market, he immediately bought a car and planned to give it to the nobles and their subordinates to quench their thirst on the road!"
Zhu Yunxi expressed his gratitude on the spot when he heard this, then looked at the dozen lights on the sea, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.
"Thank you for your gift from Liu Li, but it's not good to receive the reward without merit."
"Let me do this, I will give you as much food as you come."
"How do you think this is the case?"
When Liu Lizheng heard Zhu Yunxi's words, he knew that the noble man had seen through his tricks and blushed on the spot.
"Thank you for your reward. The villain has no way to repay you. He can only lead the villagers to pray day and night to bless the nobles to live a hundred years, and have more children and more blessings..."
At this time, Zhu Gui, Zhu Ou and others came over. Seeing that Zhu Yunyu had just rewarded several ships of food, he immediately took out a few golden leaves from his sleeve and threw them on the ground.
"Please take these two people back and use them for flowers, buy some chickens, ducks, and so on to raise them again. When I return, I will go to your farm to enjoy it!"
Zhu Ao was not as generous as Zhu Gui, but he also picked up a jade pendant and stuffed it into Liu Li's forehand.
"This jade pendant is also worth a little money. You always take it back and improve the food for the villagers and lead them to live a good life!"
Seeing that both brothers expressed their feelings, Zhu Zhi reluctantly took off a huge golden lock from his neck and threw it on the ground.
"The golden lock of Gu is worn out, just treat Gu's meal money for the night!"
Liu Li was stunned when he saw the golden leaves and golden locks on the ground.
Who are these people? Why are they so generous in their actions?
The accent of his speech is a bit strange, like a toad.
Although the gold is charming, Liu Li is a sensible person. He just kowtowed to a few people and rejected the kindness of the people.
"Old man thanks the three nobles, but this gold is really not something that the old man can afford to spend, but the food given by this little noble man is real."
