"Higher job?" Wang You said with a wry smile, "I just make a living so I won't be homeless." He shook his head as if complaining, "I will work as a military advisor for Zheng Bao."
"Zheng Bao? Are you a relative of Zheng Zhilong?"
"He really wants to build this relationship, but unfortunately he can't get along with Zheng Zhilong. He is an aboriginal from the Dianbai area. He has only been here for a year. But there are a lot of people and ships. All the ships on Lantau Island belong to him."
“It’s not a small scale.”
"There are not many people in the direct lineage, but they are very powerful." Wang You sighed, "You also know that when a big gang like ours is prosperous, there are countless people eating in one pot, so things are a little bit rough.
, everyone immediately dispersed."
"Haha," Shi Shishi patted his belly and laughed, "Manager Wang, are you overgeneralizing with your words? There are some things that you can't blame others for, you have to blame yourself first!"
"What?" Wang You always felt that Zhu Cailao's failure had a lot to do with the fact that his subordinates left when they encountered difficulties. If all stocks, whether it was foreign stocks or internal stocks, could work together, why would there be such a big loss?
When the whole army was wiped out on Nanri Island, "You think this belongs to the big shopkeeper, don't you?"
"Of course the big shopkeeper has nothing to say to the brothers." Shi Shishi squinted his eyes, "I, Shi Shishi, can be considered worthy of the big shopkeeper. In water or fire, I am always the first to rush to kill. In the end, I almost stay at the end when I escape.
Okay. But what about the people who are always around the big shopkeeper? Where have they gone?"
He took a sip of tea and said: "When it was prosperous at that time, there were so many relatives and six dependents in the old camp who were in charge of the government. If they wanted some rice or some gunpowder and shells, they would always give smiles and favors. Otherwise, they would make things difficult for them.
No! Mr. Wang, you know this matter better than I do. In recent years, when we were prosperous, these people shipped boatloads of gold, silver, treasures and women to their homes. Even distant relatives bought houses and land, and every family
The glory and wealth of the son. What about us outsiders?" Shi Shishi seemed to be venting his dissatisfaction, "Fighting at the front, except for being able to fall behind, all the benefits will go to the cabinet. In the end, of course, disaster will come.
Time flies. Do you think so?"
Wang You was speechless. Shi Shishi told the truth. But this kind of thing happened all over the world, and he never felt that there was anything inappropriate.
"Everywhere in the world is not like this?" Wang You said, "The emperor only has a human head, so why are his descendants all relatives of the emperor?" He took the opportunity to say, "You are in Australia now.
Isn’t it similar here?”
"That's different." Shi Shishi shook his head, "To work for the Australians, first, you have clear rewards and punishments, and you have credibility in what you say; second, you can do as much work as you want and be an official as much as you can. There is no ambiguity at all."
"really?"
Shi Shishi nodded: "Of course!"
"It's rare." Wang You talked to him for another conversation. He had given up hope in coming to lobby Shi Shishi. He could see that Shi Shishi's spirit was completely different from before. The Australian
It seems that he has changed his appearance. Not only the way he talks is different, but also his gestures have changed. His words are full of new terms, which makes Wang You a little overwhelmed.
Shi Shishi suddenly smiled: "Manager Wang, you came to me probably to tell me that I would vote for Zheng Bao."
Wang You nodded: "That's true." He shook his head and said, "It's just that I won't say it now." He added, "Just looking at your boat, I know you will never vote for him."
"Manager Wang is very clever." Shi Shishi said, "Then Lao Shizi Zheng and so on are just a small group of pirates. I am now an upright Australian and Song Dynasty naval officer. How can I fight for him and continue to be a pirate?"
"
Wang You could only nod at this moment.
"I don't think you need to go back. How much future can you have with a small account like Zheng Bao?" Shi Shishi saw that he looked depressed, and he showed that he was incompatible with Zheng Bao from the beginning. He knew that this
The general manager probably didn't get along well with the current shopkeeper. Although Wang You didn't have a great friendship with him, he was quite a good person when he was the general manager, so Shi Shishi felt it was necessary to give him a hand.
Wang You smiled bitterly and said: "You want me to vote for the Australians?"
"Why not?" Shi Shishi said, "Look, I'm not living a good life after I voted for the Australians. I'm much more comfortable than before."
Wang You shook his head subconsciously. It wasn't that he thought this matter couldn't be considered, but that he felt a little embarrassed. It was just that the lobbyist failed to persuade him, and he had to be counter-persuaded by the other party. He felt that his face was a bit lost.
He pondered for a moment: He really didn't want to continue working with Zheng Bao - it was clear that he would have no future. The Australian army defeated the official army, occupied Qiongzhou, and suddenly realized that the other party had even surrendered him.
No conditions were given.
Seemingly guessing what Wang You was thinking, Shi Shishi added: "Australians never make promises or appointments, everything depends on your ability. Now when they are employing people, as long as they work sincerely, they are afraid that there will be no one in the future."
What's your future? With your qualifications as the general manager of the old battalion, you are very sure of being a staff officer in the logistics department."
Wang You didn't know what these official titles meant. But based on his knowledge, he knew that these were not the various empty positions awarded by Zheng Bao's proud Li Dynasty. They must be actual positions in the Australian army. Although they did not sound impressive,
But it is much more valuable than General Ninghai of the Li Dynasty. Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the imperial court, but he could only live as a guerrilla. Many people are jealous. Wang You has read some books and knows that indiscriminately awarding famous weapons is definitely not a normal response to political power.
He has something to do. Australians have a tight control over famous instruments, which makes him feel good.
"Brother Shi," Wang You decided to ask one last question, "What do you think the Australians want when they come to China?"
"They have now taken up the banner of Australia and Song Dynasty. What do you think they are trying to do?"
Wang You's heart suddenly jumped: "Are you trying to win the title of Kyushu?"
"What?" Shi Shishi had limited ink in his stomach and didn't know this idiom.
"That is to say, they want to rebel and change the dynasty..." Although he has been a pirate for most of his life and has killed officials and destroyed cities more than once, Wang You still lowered his voice when he talked about "rebellion".
"That's how it is!" Shi Shishi said, "They didn't want to wait in the prosperous Australia and went to the barren land of Lingao. Why? Don't they become the emperor for the sake of rebellion and suffer this hardship?"
In the end, Wang You's hard work to persuade Shi Shishi to surrender ended up being his own surrender. Shi Shishi sent him and his men to the shore. Wang You unceremoniously exposed Zheng Bao and his gang's attempts in front of Chen Haiyang.
, the strength and the specific situation within the gang were all betrayed.
Not only that, he also volunteered and expressed his willingness to go back and instigate a group of Zhu Cai Lao's old tribe.
Chen Haiyang praised him and expressed his willingness to accept all "patriots who defect to the light". He also said that if the men and ships cannot be pulled out in advance, as long as they fly the white flag and obey the command during combat, they will not attack these ships. The two sides also agreed
Other signals for contact.
If he can really instigate rebellion, it would be good to get some ships and sailors for free. If he fails, it will not affect the overall situation. Chen Haiyang has made a plan. Regardless of whether Wang You's rebellion can succeed or not, he will be on time three days later, which is September in the Gregorian calendar.
On the 10th, a general attack on Lantau Island was launched.
Chen Sigen let go of his hand, and his lifeless body fell into the grass with a plop. He noticed that no blood was left on the blade at all, and it dripped cleanly from the tip to the ground. He shook it and put the knife back into its sheath.
inside.
"What a good knife." Chen Sigen praised. The dead man lay at his feet, with blood flowing out from under his throat. People who have never seen a death scene would find it difficult to believe that there is so much blood in a human body.
This man was wearing patched homespun clothes, with a messy bun, and a pair of bare feet. He looked just like the immigrants who landed at Bopu every day. The only difference was that he carried a big knife and a
A spear.
Around him, there were four or five similar people lying in random directions, each with their necks cut and bleeding profusely. Some were still twitching. Several members of the special reconnaissance team showed their faces one by one.
With a look of excitement, he attacked seven people at the sentry position at the same time and knocked them all down within thirty seconds. This achievement is considered rare.
The only one alive was pinned to the ground and his mouth was filled with dirt.
"Let him get up, or he will suffocate to death." Chen Sigen sat down on a rock. A small shack had been built here as an observation post for the pirates to look out at the sea.
The special reconnaissance team pushed the prisoner in front of him. The prisoner's arms were hanging - the joints had been removed by the team members in an instant. He was grinning in pain and his face was messed up with mud. It looked impossible.
human form.
He briefly interrogated the prisoners - and found out that they were sent up the mountain just yesterday. Because the master and the Australians failed to negotiate, it was said that the two sides were about to start a fight. The big shopkeeper sent people to the mountain to watch in case the Australians suddenly
Want to start fighting.
"How many groups of people were sent, and where were they sent?"
"The villain has only seen four groups - I haven't seen the others, so I don't dare to talk nonsense."
"Where are they all sent?"
"There are also Liujiao Mountain, Phoenix Mountain and Tai O Island."
A group of pirates headed to Phoenix Mountain had been eliminated by the observation post of the special reconnaissance team posted earlier on the mountain, indicating that the prisoners were not lying. However, it is difficult to say whether there are other pirate posts.
"How do you contact someone after discovering the enemy's situation?"
"Light up three fires at night and let out black smoke during the day." The prisoner screamed in pain, "Young ones don't dare to lie."
"Put his joints together and take him down the mountain. If he is dishonest, he will be killed." Chen Sigen ordered. Then he looked at the place and found that the location was quite good - the ships passing through the Ma Wan Strait were almost clearly visible.
