It should be answered, and it should be answered if it should not be!
Yes, there may be some way to do it in the future, but no, I am afraid that even if everyone is dead now, Hong Tiaoyuan will still settle the account.
Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh: "Sooner or later, my life will be ruined in your hands!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was delighted, and Mr. Hong agreed.
Xiao Yifeng and Bao Juhua changed their faces faster than turning the pages of a book. When they heard Hong Tiaoyuan agreed, they immediately put away their knives, half-knelt on the ground, and shouted:
"Brother!"
Hong Tiaoyuan reluctantly nodded. But he knew very well that with this nod, there would be no turning back.
Their sworn vows are not based on age. Hong Tiaoyuan has the highest official rank here and should be the eldest brother. Although Lao Ji has no official or position, he has followed Hong Tiaoyuan for the longest time and is ranked second.
Ding Yunyi was a patrol inspector, and in terms of official position in Penghu, he was only subordinate to Hong Tiaoyuan, so he was ranked as the third brother.
Third brother? Ding Yunyi couldn’t laugh or cry. It was the third brother that he followed in another era. Now in another era, he has become the "third brother"?
Everyone respected Qin Yun as a scholar, so they elected him as the fourth child...
When the seats were arranged, there were sixteen people in total. Hong Tiaoyuan, Ding Yunyi and a group of brothers knelt down in front of the incense table and read loudly:
"The emperor and the sky are above, and the thick earth is below. I, Hong Tiaoyuan, Ji Dechang, Ding Yunyi, Qin Yun... sixteen people have become brothers with different surnames today. They report to the country and bring peace to the people. We work together and share life and death.
If you violate this oath, you will be punished by both humans and gods!"
After the oath was recited, sixteen people stood up and shouted "eldest brother, second brother" for a long time.
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Today we and others from Penghu have become sworn brothers. There are sixteen of us in total. We can be called the 'Sixteen Heroes of Penghu'."
The words "Sixteen Heroes of Penghu" sound heroic, but they are a bit bragging. These sixteen people are either poor soldiers, or down-and-out scholars who are so hungry that they can't even fill their stomachs.
The word "英" is so different.
Ding Yunyi didn't think of this, he was just happy in his heart.
In this era, I had just arrived. Apart from an unkind "father", I didn't have any relatives. Suddenly I had fifteen more brothers overnight, which was something to be gratified about.
Hong Tiaoyuan, who was dragged into the water, also calmed down and stopped thinking about anything. Whether it is a disaster or a blessing depends on God's will.
Immediately, he asked Lao Ji to bring out all the wine and drank with all the brothers. They drank until the sky was slightly light, and then everyone dispersed staggeringly.
When Ding Yunyi woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
No one here cares about drills, and Hong Tiaoyuan is an incompetent and kind-hearted man. He can be regarded as an amateur in leading troops. Therefore, these soldiers stationed in Penghu can sleep as long as they want, unlike the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers elsewhere.
It couldn't be easier than the most.
Ding Yunyi yawned and came out. After washing up, he saw that Hong Tiaoyuan and Lao Ji had been sitting outside the barracks basking in the sun. He immediately went up and said, "Big brother, second brother."
"Third brother, come and sit down." Hong Tiaoyuan still looked worried: "When I got up today, I discussed it with Lao Ji and still felt uneasy. There are only sixteen of us, and there is a chicken with no hands.
Qin Jieyuan's strength. Needless to say about those pirates, there are bloody storms every day. As for those dry silk people, I have seen their swordsmanship, which is very unique. Look at us people, fighting
Fishing is good, but fighting is a big problem..."
What Hong Tiaoyuan said was exactly what Ding Yunyi was worried about.
If a fight breaks out, no matter how well-planned the plan is, there is still nothing you can do to defeat others.
"Brother." Ding Yunyi sat down and said with a frown: "Brothers have just thought of this. When fighting, one person cannot bring a fishing net into battle... I think from now on, the brothers will be divided into two groups every day.
Digging, plucking fish, solving stomach problems, plucking practice, turning one day into one."
Hong Tiaoyuan pondered for a while and nodded: "The method is good, but who will be responsible for the training? To be honest with my third brother, my teacher recommended this skill after seeing my diligence. When it comes to leading troops in war, I am
Not at all."
Ding Yunyi knew that Hong Tiaoyuan was telling the truth, so he bit the bullet and said, "I'll do it."
Hong Tiaoyuan was overjoyed when he heard this: "It's best if my third brother is willing to do this. In this way, in the future I will lead the fishing group and you will lead the training group."
You fish and I train troops? Ding Yunyi smiled bitterly.
He doesn't know how to lead troops, so he is really trying to catch a duck on the shelf. It's a difficult task, but looking around, who else can take on this important task besides himself?
Xiao Yifeng and Bao Juhua had seriously fought against the Dutch and could be used as their helpers. After thinking about it, they immediately said: "Brother, it's settled."
At this time, the brothers also came out in twos and threes. Hong Tiaoyuan called them in front of him, and with a serious face told him what he had just discussed with Ding Yunyi, and then said:
"Brothers, we have sworn sworn vows last night. From now on, we are all one of our own. Big brother, if your parents are not around, the eldest brother is the eldest brother. Will you listen to me from now on?"
"Listen!" All the brothers responded loudly.
"Okay!" Hong Tiaoyuan cheered up: "From now on, we will be divided into two groups according to Inspector Ding's instructions. One group is responsible for fishing, and the other group is responsible for training. They rotate every day! Brothers, and the pirate Taixi
Beating, it is a dangerous thing to do with your head in your waistband. If you are a little careless, your head will fall to the ground. Everyone must work hard and don't be lazy!"
"I am willing to listen to the words of the eldest brother and the third brother, practice hard, and dare not be lazy!" Twelve brothers responded in unison.
Hong Tiaoyuan nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Ding Yunyi: "Third brother, come and give me a few words of encouragement."
Ding Yunyi was also polite: "Brothers, I don't take the admonishment seriously. Now we are a family. What is a family? We have wealth and honor for the whole family to share. If outsiders bully us, we should shoulder the responsibility as a family and beat them."
He's a bitch!"
The brothers laughed loudly, thinking that this eldest brother's words were easy to understand, unlike other officials who could not understand all the important principles.
Ding Yunyi continued: "I won't say much else, just one thing, if others eat meat, we must have a bowl of soup to drink. Whoever doesn't even give us soup and wants to starve us to death, still the same sentence,
Beat him up! Pirates and foreigners regard our Penghu as their supply point. They can come and leave as they please, and they don't take us soldiers at all. What should I do? This mountain is mine.
Come on, I planted this tree. I want to come here and keep the wealth for the island! If you don’t want to give it to me, I will take you to rob it!”
The brothers are all in high spirits:
"We are all willing to carry out inspections through life and death. We want to come here and leave our wealth on the island!"
