The green cloth wrapped around the woman's body fell to the ground, and she only wore a small bellyband inside. Lin Baiguang was the husband of Jiu Kuang, so he couldn't help but take out a small plastic seal from his pocket and "embroider it."
"La!" it was opened with a sound, and...the tent suddenly became filled with spring scenery.
After eating and drinking, Lin Baiguang hugged the bare little tree and went to bed. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, held it carefully in his mouth, lit it with an oil lamp, and felt comfortable.
I took a sip and prepared to do it again later.
Based on Lin Baiguang's experience of visiting Fengyue places in another time and space, he knew that this woman was quite clean. He had to seize this opportunity well. Of course, he still had to use condoms - thanks to his foresight, he brought several out.
While he was thinking about what position to change and what tricks to do, he heard the woman in his arms sobbing. Lin Baiguang blew out a puff of smoke and asked very caringly: "Okay, why are you crying?"
"It's nothing. I blame my servant for her miserable life."
Lin Baiguang thought that this scene was very familiar, but her misfortune was caused by pirates, and she was also responsible for it, so she responded vaguely.
"Where is the master from?" Xiaoshu hugged him, looking like a little bird clinging to him, "My maid thinks that the master is from the Zhangquan area..."
Lin Baiguang thought that this was indeed true. My ancestors had lived in Taiwan for more than a hundred years, so they were half Hokkien.
"No, I am an Australian." Lin Baiguang said, "My ancestors crossed the sea from southern Fujian."
"You and your servant are half the same countrymen."
"It can be considered as meeting an old friend in a foreign country." Lin Baiguang said with a smile, but he became wary in his heart.
Sure enough, Xiaoshu said to him in an almost inaudible voice: "My servant has something to ask of you."
"Well, what's the matter?"
"Keep your voice down!"
Xiaoshu pressed Lin Baiguang's lips with his fingers, pointed to his ears, and made a gesture of "walls have ears".
Lin Baiguang lit the cigarette and ignored her reminder: "Let's talk about it."
"Can you take your maid with you?"
"Let's go?" Lin Baiguang couldn't help but lower his voice.
"yes."
"..." Lin Baiguang suddenly faced such a situation and was at a loss. What on earth was Xiaoshu thinking? Is there any deception involved?
"Please, Master, take me away. If I continue like this, I will be raped to death by them sooner or later." Seeing his changing expression, Xiaoshu lay on his chest and cried in a low voice.
"Don't cry," Lin Baiguang comforted softly, "What exactly is going on..."
"My maid turns out to be from Zhangzhou Prefecture..."
Xiaoshu said that she was kidnapped by pirates last month and has been kept in the old camp, exclusively for the big bosses' lewd pleasure.
"...More than ten people, taking turns to abuse my slave girl's body, are beaten even if they interfere even slightly. It's really a life worse than death." Xiaoshu cried softly.
"I see."
Lin Baiguang replied softly. He thought that there were probably people outside the tent eavesdropping.
"I just ask you to be merciful and help me escape from this gangster's den. My family also has a lot of money in Zhangzhou, so I will definitely reward you heavily."
"Since your family has money, why don't you come and redeem me?"
"We can't reach an agreement," Xiaoshu said sadly, "We need a large sum of money, and we have to sell our house and land to make the arrangements..."
"Give up your life rather than your wealth."
"My maid is always suffering. Please show me mercy and let me go." Xiaoshu stopped crying and whispered, "Before my maid came, I listened to their discussion and said that the master probably came to Nanri Island with ulterior motives.
Yes. I want the big shopkeeper to cut you off in two."
"..."
Xiaoshu kept persuading: "The big shopkeeper is very suspicious. He won't believe you." She whispered, "You are asking for information, right? The number of people, boats, cannons, and food of the big shopkeeper."
Zidu has been able to find out everything secretly." As if she was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, she whispered, "Two thousand large ships, seven ships--"
"I'm not a spy, don't know this." Lin Baiguang said softly. He had already fully realized that what Xiao Shu told was a lie - she was a woman used to test him.
"If you want to leave here and go home: I will see the big shopkeepers tomorrow and I will naturally ask for a favor and let you go. Even if we pay a few ransoms, we Australians can get out. Then I will naturally send you home.
.As for the reward, don’t ask for a penny. It’s just—” His words were very serious, “You actually secretly investigated the money and money of the soldiers, horses, and food of the big shopkeepers. This is a treasonous thing. I think you should stop doing such stupid things. You
I won’t tell Shi Shishi and the others, you just have to accept your fate honestly, otherwise your life will be in danger!"
Lin Baiguang uttered cruel words. But in his heart, he really wanted to say that this poor performance should come to an end. Although the actors performed well, the script was too bad.
"Master, have mercy on me!" Xiaoshu sobbed and wanted to get out of bed and kneel down.
"Don't worry, I just pretend I didn't hear these words. But you have to be honest."
Lin Baiguang put out the cigarette butt, turned over and pressed the woman under him, kneeling down. He proudly slapped Xiaoshu's butt twice, forcing her to cooperate again.
That night, Lin Baiguang vented his anger several times. Knowing that the woman under him was actually a spy, he lost even the last bit of sympathy. He didn't fall asleep until he was finally exhausted.
When Lin Baiguang fell into a deep sleep during the 300th round of the battle, the lights in the Chinese army's tent were bright. Mr. Zhu Cai and his leaders were discussing the situation and assessing the reliability of the Australians as allies.
Everyone feels that Lin Baiguang's words should be reliable. It is of great benefit to have such an ally now, not to mention that the other party has promised to supply vital supplies such as firearms and food, which is very important to the big gang who are in an embarrassing situation.
urgently needed.
The next step is whether to launch an attack on Min'an. The leaders have different opinions, but they all feel that the stalemate on Nanri Island cannot continue like this. They have to pay a lot of money to supplement the lack of food and salary.
Wang You, the general manager of the old camp, frowned and said: "Big shopkeeper! The brothers' food and salary are so scarce that they even have problems eating."
Zhu Cai Lao's complexion is very ugly, and food has become a worry for him. Originally a pirate, he never worried about food. There are so many wealthy merchants on the shore who have access to the sea. As long as they are willing to pay, they will risk their lives to bring the food.
However, now they can't be counted on at all - the Zhangquan area in Fujian Province is Zheng Zhilong's territory. Now that he has an official hat on his head, no one in Tonghai dares to offend him. Zhu Cai Lao raised food
The only method left was robbery. Robbery of grain and grass seems to cost nothing, but now the cost is much higher than that of buying grain. The shore is full of villages and village warriors. Although most of the officers and soldiers are acting as soy sauce, Zheng Zhilong has no intention of himself.
However, they kept a very tight watch on their territory, and almost always came out when they heard the police. As a result, every time they went out to raise food, they had to send out a large number of ships and people. It was simply not worth the gain.
"How much food is left?"
"If you save money, we can last for about ten days." Wang Qing reported, "The salary can be delayed for a while, but the food issue cannot be delayed for one day."
There was a commotion among the leaders.
"Big shopkeeper, this is not the way to go. Let's go back to Guangdong."
Guangdong is where Zhu Cailao started his career, so it is much easier to get food supplies when he returns.
"Go back? That's easy to say! Will this little brat Liu Laoxiang let us go? He'd rather we die here in Fujian."
"At worst, if we fight him, we don't know who will win."
"Yes! He may not be our opponent!"
…
Zhu Cai Lao snorted:
"Go back? What are you going back for, drinking the northwest wind?" He slapped his hand on the table, "The foreign goods business in Guangzhou City is all done by Francois, and we can't get involved. If you want to make money, you have to do it in
Hang out here!"
"Besides, if we fight with Liu Laoxiang, the Kun thief in Lingao will get an advantage in the end!" Zhu Cai Lao sneered, "These overseas barbarians are probably just waiting for me and Liu Xiang to start a fight so that they can take advantage of themselves.
.”
"Big shopkeeper, they are willing to provide us with food and firearms..."
"Do you think these grains and firearms are easy to get? We need to send a ship to transport them ourselves. I will return to Guangdong as a whole team. How can Liu Xiang allow me to return safely?"
"X your mother! You still have this idea!" One of the leaders was already scolding, "Kill that bad guy!"
"Forget it, the people are now considered to have formed an alliance with us. From now on, our cannons and guns will be pointed at them." Zhu Cai Lao waved his hand, "But just counting on their help now is just trying to satisfy our hunger."
"That's not necessarily the case," Wang Qing said.
"Oh? What do you think, Manager Wang?"
"It is impossible for the whole army to return to Guangdong. It is better to send some ships to Lingao first and ask them to supply a batch of food and firearms."
"No, no, no, Liu Xiang refuses to let go of all the boats in the brigade. He even catches dozens of boats and swallows them whole!"
"Liu Xiang is not clairvoyant. He must have spies here. He will get the news as soon as our ship moves." Wang Qing seemed to have a plan, "But we will not go to the inner sea, but the outer sea. Even if he knows, the sea is vast.
, where to find it?”
"If you go to the open sea, small boats can't go there." The open sea is very windy and has no landmarks, making it inconvenient for the small ships that make up the majority of the pirate fleet to sail.
"Since we are going to load the goods, it is useless to send a small boat. It can't load much. Of course, we have to send a big boat."
But with the big ship gone, the combat power at sea will inevitably decline. This is another dilemma. After the meeting, it was decided to send a team of big ships to Lingao to load food back, and then launch the attack on Min'an after the ships came back and people felt calmer.
.
When he woke up the next day, it was already morning. Lin Baiguang didn't have a watch, but looking at the light and shadow outside, it was almost ten o'clock.
When I woke up, I felt relaxed and energetic. When I looked around me, the little tree was no longer there. Only the long hair on the pillow reminded me of the beautiful scenery last night, and I couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Brother, are you up?" Shi Shishi came in from outside with a smile. Behind him was a little pirate, carrying face wash.
"I woke up late, which made Brother Shi laugh."
"Haha, you were too powerful last night!" Shi Shishi said with an ambiguous smile, "How was it? Xiao Shu is not bad, right?"
"Okay, pretty good."
"This little bitch with thin skin and white flesh—" Shi Shishi said in an envious tone, "Oh, let's not talk anymore. The boss wants to see you later."
After washing, Lin Baiguang was led by Shi Shishi to Zhu Cai Lao's Chinese army tent. But this time, he was received at the back tent.
There was no one else in the tent, only Mr. Zhu Cai was sitting on a chair, and there were many map scrolls piled on the table.
"Sit." Compared to yesterday, Mr. Zhu Cai's attitude was much more relaxed.
"Did you sleep well last night?"
"Thanks to the great shopkeeper, it's very sweet." Lin Baiguang stood up and saluted, "I also want to thank the great shopkeeper for his love."
Mr. Zhu Cai nodded and said straight to the point: "You are willing to sell a gun that you can use quickly?" The description of the SKS rifle by the pirates who escaped back left a deep impression on Mr. Zhu Cai.
After saying these words, it was obvious that he had recognized the agreement between the two parties. Lin Baiguang felt a little excited. He reminded himself to calm down:
"Of course it can be sold, but——"
"The price is easy to talk about! If the loan runs out, I will buy it with cash."
"It's not the price. This is a steel gun." Of course Lin Baiguang couldn't say that Lin Gao wouldn't be able to make SKS for a while, and there was no way to mass-produce bullets.
"The gun body is made of the best steel. The blacksmith waiting for me in Lingao can't make a few guns even if he doesn't eat or drink for a month."
"I want a hundred." Zhu Cai Laohao was unambiguous, "I can double the price. How long will it take at the fastest?"
"Then," Lin Baiguang said, "three months."
"It's too late." He was a little regretful, "Can I sell the old rifle?"
With just a few hundred SKS, we can't survive if I sell them to you. Lin Baiguang thought about it and said with a smile: "This is very difficult. As you know, we have only a few people and a few boats, so we can only hang out in Lingao.
Because the big shopkeeper doesn’t care about us, these guns are about to be snatched up. If the big shopkeeper wants to buy a gun, give him a few months’ grace, and then he will get it.”
Zhu Cailao stared at Lin Baiguang for a long time before saying: "It's rare. It takes two months to buy a cannon, and another three months to buy a few guns. What do you have ready-made? Is it just a piece of paper?"
Lin Baiguang was frightened by his eyes - the power of this giant maritime canal is really unstoppable, what is the aura of overlords, this is called the aura of overlords, we on the executive committee are here in one day
The people's commissar who pretends to be profound in his late speech and is full of theories is simply like heaven and earth.
Lin Baiguang lowered his eyebrows and waited. After hearing what he said, he responded:
"Masters, you are aware of this! Weapons are not just available. They are all labor-intensive and material-intensive," Lin Baiguang said carefully, "As for the other items, they are all ready-made."
"The food is also readily available?"
"Yes." Lin Baiguang somewhat expected that besides arms, food would be what he was most interested in.
"Where's the gunpowder?"
"some."
"Tomorrow I will send a fleet to Lingao to buy goods," Zhu Cailao pretended to be nonchalant, "Do you want Shopkeeper Lin to go back with the ship?"
Lin Baiguang replied without hesitation: "It's better for me to stay here. The sale has not yet been completed. I can be regarded as a witness here."
He came here just to instigate rebellion, so what if he went back like this? All his pretentiousness would have been in vain.
He continued, "It is no problem for the big shop owner to send a ship to transport food. There is enough food in Lingao now. I will write a letter back right away."
"Okay, I will send a big boat immediately." Mr. Zhu Cai said with a smile, "Before the boat comes back, I asked shopkeeper Lin to stay at my place for a few more days."
"It's so annoying."
Zhu Caiguang nodded and asked Lin Baiguang some personal matters. He smiled and said nothing when Lin Baiguang claimed to be Australian. He and Lin Baiguang talked about Quanzhou's Kaiyuan Temple, Luoyang Bridge, Quanzhou's salted rice and madder cakes...
Some of them he had heard of in the past, and some he had never heard of. Lin Baiguang had no choice but to know what he knew and what he didn't know, and he also said that his ancestral home was in southern Fujian, and he had never been clear about the situation in his hometown. Then Mr. Zhu Cai said
Talking about the past when he was doing business on the coast of Fujian when he was young,
When Zhu Cai Lao talked about these things, he was friendly and easy-going, as if he was just a retired neighbor who just wanted to chat with someone about his daily life. Lin Baiguang suddenly became alarmed: He was trying to figure out his own identity.
This old and cunning guy. Lin Baiguang realized this and felt that his situation was extremely dangerous. At this time, he felt that his idea of "telling the truth as much as possible and telling lies only when it is critical" was completely right. Bachelor's Eyes
There is no sand in it - if there is any slight inconsistency, I'm afraid this old pirate will fall out!
The intimate chat lasted for about an hour, and Lin Baiguang used all the tricks he used to deal with county leaders to deal with it. No matter how awesome Zhu Cai was, Lin Baiguang didn't think he was necessarily better than the county party committee leaders he had served.
There was no food left for him during lunch, but he was kindly sent to take him back to his tent.
Lin Baiguang returned to his tent. He looked at the calendar he carried with him. There were not many days before Zhu Cai Lao attacked Min'an. One thing he didn't understand was that Zhu Cai Lao was eager to go to Lingao to transport grain. Apparently,
The supply has reached a very difficult point. If so, will he wait until the food is shipped back before launching an attack?
Judging from various signs, this is very possible.
Lingao could naturally get the grain that filled twelve large ships, but in this way, when Min'an was defeated, all the grain would be cheaper. Zheng Zhilong - and how could he get it from Zhu Cai Lao?
It is still unknown how many people and ships will be sent out. If more than ten shiploads of rice were given to Zhu Cai Lao for nothing, and in the end he just escaped from the rebellion alone, wouldn't it be a big joke? I would never be allowed to live in the time traveling group.
Turned over.
Lin Baiguang made up his mind: Food must not be given. Zhu Cai Lao could not hold on for a few more days in Nanri. As long as he could survive a few days, he would have to take risks.
The only way is to use the word "drag" to hold the grain transport fleet at Lingao. In this way, even if his rebellion fails, at least the crossing group will be able to obtain twelve large ships and hundreds of people in the end.
But this way, his situation would be much more dangerous. Lin Baiguang couldn't predict Zhu Cai's attitude after he couldn't get the food. He might be able to shirk the blame for a few days, but as time went by, his own life was in danger and he refused to talk to him, and he became angry.
It is not known whether Zhucai Laohui will not attack Min'an, but simply mobilize the entire army to attack Lingao.
