() Du Fei saw that his treasure ship was being repaired smoothly day by day, but he couldn't feel relaxed. There was another thing that bothered him, and that was Liu Zhanqin's commission.
According to what Lao He said, the rebellions and commotions in Nanjing City and the six southern provinces were all caused by Tianshan Xuanmen, and if Qin Meng wanted to seize all the power in the world, Liu Zhanqin's situation would be very dangerous.
But Du Fei had nothing to do with this rising star Qin Meng at this time. He understood that only by finding the seven springs to restore his own abilities could he compete with him!
And now——
So he specially wrote a letter with sincere words and only one main meaning, which was to advise Liu Zhanqin to take a break from illness and not to participate in the affairs of the government and the public.
After writing the letter and giving it to the messenger to send away, Du Fei couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Hey, I didn't expect that I, Du Fei, would be made to hold back by a junior!" He remembered that he was single back then.
He broke into the ghost clan's lair alone, killed the river dragon alone, and suppressed the rebellion. Thinking about the high-spirited self back then, he felt a sincere sense of loss.
"Sir! Our boat has been repaired! It's ready to launch!" Ma Xingkong shouted excitedly as soon as he came in.
"Finally, can we go to sea!?" Du Fei slowly let out the turbid air in his heart!
When he saw this huge, brand-new ship, the first thing that came to his mind was that the existing manpower was probably not enough!
This ship obviously cannot be driven with hundreds of people on it. It can carry more than a thousand people at most, and he only has a few dozen people under his command——
Furthermore, such a large ship needs to be equipped with a lot of weapons. In order to install the most advanced red barbarian cannons, Du Fei specially asked the shipwrights to set up on both sides of the deck and the middle cabin of the ship before the ship was repaired.
A lot of gun positions were built. In order to cope with various situations that might be encountered at sea, Du Fei spent a large sum of money to purchase more than 40 powerful artillery pieces from Nanman's trading partners.
Looking at the rows of artillery pieces, Nangong Feiyun asked blankly: "With so many artillery pieces, we only have thirty-six artillery positions. How many artillery pieces can't be placed at all?"
"Of course it is reserved for backup!" Du Fei said without thinking: "On the sea, it is not like on land. Arms and weapons can be replenished at any time. We must be fully prepared from the beginning so that we can calmly handle some emergencies during the trip.
The situation! I want to go out for a while, please help me keep an eye on this place! Don’t let them cut corners!"
He immediately said to the old turtle and Ma Xingkong beside him: "You guys come with me! I need to recruit a large number of experienced sailors!"
"Hehe! Don't worry! Sir!" Old Turtle rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "My old turtle has been at sea for decades and it's not in vain! Recruiting people is what I'm good at! Isn't he a good sailor?
I can tell it right away!"
The two people immediately arrived at the Wuzhou Port, which is forty miles away from the captain. Although it is an underground seaport, it is said that several high officials from the imperial court have stakes in it, so the local officials turned a blind eye.
, just muddle along and don’t dare to speak out.
This has become a safe haven for smugglers, illegal foreign traders and some pirate ships. The owner of the port does not care about the identities of his customers. As long as they have money and can pay, they are his customers. Because of this port
Because of its special nature, even the most treacherous businessmen and the most brutal pirates dare not cause trouble, because once they fall out with this place, not only will they lose a place to stay in the future, but they will also offend important ministers of the Ming Dynasty. This is not a joke.
To play.
Although it shows that the North Korean navy no longer has the prestige it once had, it still has the ability to encircle and annihilate small-scale pirate ship fleets in near waters. If they are really pissed off, they will never be able to set foot on this land.
Du Fei had never been to a place like this before. The people he saw coming here were all wearing thick clothes made of special materials, all of which were very well-worn fabrics.
Moreover, most of the people here have beards and tattoos, and do not pay attention to etiquette at all. They all talk carelessly and loudly, eat fish and drink wine.
Suddenly, two people who were drinking at the same table started to argue loudly. After a few words, they picked up a stool and started fighting. Although the moves were mediocre, the punches were so intense that most people were frightened to see them.
.
Ma Xingkong saw the two fighting men and laughed and said: "It's the two of them again - it's always like this, they start fighting if they don't respond to one sentence! I really won over them!"
Du Fei didn't take anything seriously about what happened. His goal was to recruit a large number of strong, experienced sailors. As for what they were and what they did before, it had nothing to do with him.
At this time, the old turtle took out a piece of silver and whispered something to the clerk at the Harbor Hotel. The clerk, who was as strong as a bear and had a big belly, borrowed the money and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Everyone! Your old friend.
The old turtle is here! He has already paid for your drinks!"
"Oh... It's been a long time since I've made such a generous move... Hehe!"
"Old turtle!? Never heard of it?"
"Idiot! You've only been out for a few days! Old Turtle is an old man here!"
"Old Turtle, long time no see! It's me! You're still alive!"
I saw the old turtle calmly saying to many uninhibited sailors: "Dear friends who are making a living at sea, I, the old turtle, have been at sea for decades. Every drop of water, every seabird and every fish in the sea is almost
Everyone knows me, and if anyone says they haven’t heard of me, it must be the newborn baby!”
"Hahahaha! ---" The sailors suddenly let out a burst of rude laughter, and the few people who had just booed immediately shrank their heads at the ridicule of those around them.
Seeing that people's attention was focused here, Old Turtle started to get down to the topic: "I came here today just to find a group of like-minded friends to do a deal! Of course, this deal may be very long.
Time, but the longer the time, the higher the revenge! And this boss settles the remuneration on a monthly basis! It is different from settling the accounts after the work is completed! It is estimated that it can be as short as one year or as long as several years. There is nothing left in his hands now.
Brothers, don’t get drunk among women! Come and bring your guys and make a fortune with this rich boss!”
"Oh!!" The old turtle's words immediately caused a commotion. Many drunk guys immediately came up and asked about the remuneration. The old turtle shouted exactly as Du Fei said: "Everyone per month
One tael of silver! How about it?! It’s definitely an unprecedentedly high price? Have you ever seen such a generous boss?”
"What! One tael of silver a month! Oh my god!" There was a commotion in the crowd! Some people who were originally indifferent to this also gathered around, and some shouted directly: "Count me in! Count me in!"
"
The scene suddenly seemed a little out of control, but the old turtle was obviously prepared for this. He took out his musket and fired a shot into the sky!
After the sound of "bang", the excited crowd finally calmed down.
"Listen to me, everyone," the old turtle said, blowing on his short-handled musket leisurely: "Although the salary is amazing, our boss is qualified, an inexperienced novice, and a consumptive ghost with insufficient skills.
We don’t want it! If anyone wants to sign up, please come to me. I will write your name today. Wait until tomorrow, I will come to test you. Those who pass the test will be considered to be hired! You can get it immediately
