Huge ships appeared on the sea surface, on the deck of the big ship, a guy with bronze skin leaned against the side of the ship, looking at the broken Tianjin Port in high spirits.
It seems that this place...cannot be docked by large ships at all.
The guy with bronze skin squinted his eyes, obviously very dissatisfied.
"Sir..." A sailor with barefoot barefoot came over and said, "The boat that went to contact us has already arrived."
"Um..." Some guy nodded, notified all ships, reclaimed sails and anchored, and stood on the spot.
"Sir..." The sailor whimpered and wanted to say something.
"You said that."
"Brothers haven't returned to the mainland for so many years, so... so they are eager to land, so... so..."
The guy holding the boat side smiled coldly and said, "You haven't come back for a long time, I'm back. You're a bastard, don't worry about it."
The sailor looked at the coastline and said, "I'm afraid that the local government will be hostile to us. Look, our fleet has been here for so long and no one has come to greet us."
"What are you afraid of? I am the ambassador appointed by the emperor. My brothers are now an official in Hanlin. Now they are my uncle and now they are the thousand households of Jinyiwei. With this relationship, who dares to be slow to take it?
Let's wait a moment."
This person is Deng Jian.
After going to sea for more than a year and a half, Deng Jian's temperament has been completely renewed. Now his skin is dark, but he is full of energy, his eyes are flashing, and he is a bit cruel. If he doesn't recognize it carefully, he will think he is
It's the pirate leader.
Deng Jian stomped his feet, and a thud sound made on the deck. He tightened the cloak behind him and looked at the land, with a hint of longing passing through his eyes.
After going to sea, he did see too many pirates entrenched in various islands and Franchise people who were both businessmen and thieves. He had arrived in North Korea, went to Japan, moved to Ryukyu, passed through Taiwan, and went to Luzon.
He had negotiated with the Franji people, fought with pirates, and mediated with the Japanese, Koreans, Luzons, and Ryukyu people. Now... I, Deng Jian, finally came back!
Deng Jian was very excited. Although this continent has many unbearable memories, it is not as comfortable as sailing to sea. It is not as good as letting him gallop after going to sea. However, here it carries his past and has his friends.
, his brother.
It's great to come back!
Deng Jian couldn't help but sigh.
When he went out to sea, Xu Qian cheated him of the tragic feeling, but when he really went out to sea, he saw the vastness of the world. When he came back, he realized that Xu Qian had good intentions.
Now Deng Jian can stand alone, command dozens of large ships, manage sailors, and guard more than a thousand people. When encountering big things, he can still be calm and unscathed. His whole person seems to have changed, whether it is skin color or whole body.
Once.
When I arrived in Tianjin, I was afraid I would go to Beijing. After entering the capital, I would go to report my life first and then meet Xu Qian. I don’t know how he is doing recently.
Thinking about it in a mess, the small boat that landed on the shore returned, and when they arrived under Deng Jian's big boat, they were pulled up by people with cables. There were three people when they went, but there was only one person when they came back. The sailor said in panic:
"Sir...our people have been detained..."
"Hold it..." Deng Jian was stunned for a moment, then furious: "Which yamen is it? Are you crazy? Tell the truth honestly."
The sailor quickly told the whole story. It turned out that the three of them were on the shore and were very excited. First, they contacted the people on the dock. The other party asked them to go to the military preparatory yamen. The three of them arrived at the military preparatory yamen and all told their identities.
, Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the master who was preparing for the military affairs only replied, "The ambassador went to sea, but he had never heard of it. As for the big ship to dock, he could not follow it. It meant that these people came from where they came and went.
go.
Wherever this fleet passed, under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, all of them enjoyed VIP treatment. Even when they arrived in Japan, the various vassals on the island treated them with great preferential treatment. Who knew that when they returned to Tianjin, they would actually take risks.
After an unheard of news, the sailors naturally dissatisfied and wanted to argue. The master who was in charge of the military was furious and ordered people to beat the three of them, seized two of them, and only one of them was sent back, and got out!
Domineering!
Deng Jian was furious.
It makes sense for his anger. He was responsible for the emperor's order and went to various countries without any effort. He had no credit, but he did not suffer much. Now he is lucky to have fulfilled his fate. He brought the stolen goods seized from the Ming Dynasty, but he brought them back.
It is gold, silver and agate, a specialty of various countries. I thought that even if I did not receive warm hospitality, I would at least not be rejected. Who knew that this was the case?
"It's outrageous. What do you mean is that both Fan Jiang Chen and Zhao Youping were detained?"
"Yes, they are all imprisoned..."
Deng Jian smiled coldly and then said, "Send the order... and go down, take the guys to the shore, and save the person first."
Both of the people seized were Deng Jian's right-hand man. If they were seized like this and left in shame, the sailors and guards would definitely make trouble. These are the people at sea. Once there is no bullet to suppress them, they may be this group.
The desperate gang took Deng Jian hostage and fled abroad directly, and simply became a pirate.
Although Deng Jian was no longer impulsive, he understood his current situation very well and could not take risks.
He didn't want to be held hostage to be the leader of the pirates. He also had a brother who served as a attendant in the court, and an uncle worked in the Jinyiwei. Moreover, Xu Qian recommended himself to go to sea. Once he turned against the water, he followed the rules of the Ming Dynasty.
Regardless of whether there are any injustice or not, Xu Qian will definitely be guilty of being convicted of being in charge. Since that is the case, then just go ashore and make trouble.
With a command, the boat made a drum sound. The boats all anchored one after another with the rhythm of the drum sound. Then one ship after another was put into the water. The sailors carried weapons and walked onto the boat one by one along the rope.
Seventy or eighty flat-bottomed boats swam towards the Tianjin Wharf with hundreds of sailors.
Deng Jian had a dagger inserted between his waist, wearing a military official uniform that had been ragged and covered in oily oil. He stood on the bow of a small boat and cursed loudly: "I'm a bitch, is there no one in the morning to bully me? I think I'm easy to bully me?
What kind of military preparation yamen? Brothers, I’m afraid he will be a bird!"
The sailors yelled together: "I'm afraid of him!"
Deng Jian yelled: "I have someone on top of me!"
The sailors shouted even more happily: "We have someone above!"
It was obvious that something was abnormal on the shore. The waterway inspector ran to the dock to see it. He was so scared that his face turned green. He immediately ordered someone to notify the military preparation office, and while organizing a few officers and soldiers to prepare hastily.
The boat had already landed, and there were dozens of bows waiting for them on the case. The waterway inspector opened his throat and shouted: "Are you going to rebel? Do you know what the crime of attacking the official army? There was no way to guide him, and he landed on the shore without authorization.
What sin?”
The sailors swallowed and looked at Deng Jian's boat.
Deng Jian sneered: "The emperor's destiny is the way to the road. What kind of dog do you have? Brothers, go ashore. Whoever dares to touch our brother will chop him over!"
To deal with these sailors, you must show some pride. If you are not arrogant enough, it will be difficult to restrain these unruly guys. This is a set of experience that Deng Jian has found. If he had not learned it without a teacher, he would have been eliminated by these people long ago.
Wang Fa's bastard was tied up and threw it into the sea to feed the fish.
Of course, this method also has its own sequelae, that is, you cannot show your fear of anything you do. For example, the call from the waterway inspection just now represents the attitude of the government. Deng Jian should have negotiated well, but he can no longer negotiate now.
Stand up!
However... what is worth Deng Jian's gratitude is that his roar immediately made the sailors scream. Everyone slapped the boat with weapons, making a slap sound, and shouted loudly: "Yes, chopped over."
These bitches are raised.”
The waterway inspection was shocked. By the way, he was just a ninth-rank official. He could not be as small as he was. He really didn't have the chance to see any world. Tianjin is the gateway to the capital, the transfer center, and the military center of the court.
There is a guard army inside, and a special Jinyiwei Hundred House, with nearly 1000 officers and soldiers. This does not include many fragmented yamen, although the sparrows are small, they are all complete. In such a place, no thief dares to
Come on, when you encounter this emergency situation, the inspector can only stare in a daze.
The archer below couldn't help but ask: "Sir, do you want to shè?"
"shè..." The inspector was stunned for a moment, hesitating. Seeing that the ships were getting closer, he finally sneered: "What kind of shè, I can't stop it even if I go to the shore. If someone gets ashore, it will cause death.
...These people are indeed the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, but the military preparation yamen does not admit it. The military preparation yamen does not want to know why the military preparation yamen thinks, but everyone is making a living, so why bother to make things difficult for the poor? Let's continue
, withdrew all the archers, and then they would say that the enemy was too powerful. Although the brothers were fighting hard, they could not stop them, so they had to retreat. That... let the soldiers have a headache there."
A hundred archers retreated immediately without saying a word.
Although this wharf belongs to Tianjin, it is still dozens of miles away from the real Tianjin Wei. Although there are already people here, there are many restaurants and shops. Fortunately, there are not many people. The waterway inspection will take people directly without saying a word.
After entering dozens of miles, we headed to Tianjin Wei.
Deng Jian did not dare to neglect it easily, so he quickly ordered: "Damn, we are also an official army, and we should continue to order. Who dares to commit a robbery here? I was the first to chop him up and throw him into the sea to feed the fish.
, We are here to seek justice, not to rebel, we will give me some rules."
In the eyes of sailors, Deng Jian was like a god-like existence. Now he easily got the dock and his morale was greatly boosted. Fortunately, the sailors were also people who had seen the world. Unlike ordinary pirates, they responded immediately after hearing the order:
"Brothers are officials, and they don't steal things."
Someone murmured in a low voice: "If you are an official army, if you don't plunder some people's wealth, what's the official army?" (To be continued.)
