Chapter 198: The Ming Privateering License (seeking a monthly pass,
The so-called large army is nothing more than a ragtag group of farmers and fishermen.
When they are repeatedly oppressed by the red barbarians and their survival is seriously threatened, all it takes is one person to raise their arms and they will come forward.
What is the difference between starving to death and being killed?
But when everything stabilized and the people who oppressed them were no longer there, that enthusiasm also disappeared.
And when they learned that the fellow villagers who had farmed together, fished together, and revolted together were actually brutally massacred by their own people, their mood was completely understandable.
Therefore, when the Huben Guards issued the ultimatum, they were no longer willing to follow Guo Huaiyi.
No matter how Shao Huaiyi yelled crazily, these people who once trusted him infinitely just stared at him coldly. Some people's eyes were even flashing with angry flames.
Guo Huaiyi is finished.
But at this time, something even more unexpected happened.
"Big brother" Guo Baoyu came to Qi Huaiyi's side and hesitated to speak.
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly." Shao Huaiyi, who was upset, said irritably.
Suddenly, a sharp short blade was aimed at Guo Huaiyi's neck.
Guo Huai was shocked and turned pale. He saw clearly that it was his biological brother who was holding him hostage.
"Brother, if you don't surrender, everyone will die... Guo Baoyu's voice trembled, but he used more strength in his hands: "It's better to let me catch you, or Mr. Ding is willing to let me live and treat it as my Guo family
Leave a root behind.
"Beast, beast." Guo Huaiyi's lips trembled and he cursed angrily.
But he never thought that he had done such an animal thing not long ago.
Everyone looked numbly at the infighting between the Guo brothers. No one spoke, even those close associates of Guo Huaiyi...
The large army was solved in a somewhat weird way.
Those local people who had participated in the opposition to Hongyi rule were not held accountable in any way.
Ding Yunyi fulfilled his promise.
But the lives of the Guo brothers were not so good.
One hundred and nine human lives, which is more than a blood debt, no one can forget. Especially the local people's hatred for the Guo brothers has reached an unbearable level.
When the five-banded Guo brothers appeared in front of Ding Yunyi, the highest official who held all military and political power in Taiwan looked at them calmly, and then asked: "Should we deal with you according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, or should we hand you over?"
To the people?”
Guo Baoyu wailed and begged, shifting all the responsibilities to his biological eldest brother, and begged again and again that he was the one who caught Guo Huaiyi, so he could be regarded as meritorious and asked the adults to let him live.
Guo Huaiyi showed more backbone than his younger brother: "Master Ding, I am Master Zheng's man, you can't kill me! Fourth General, Zheng Zhifeng told me that Master Zheng will protect me!"
"Master Guo, you made a mistake." Ding Yunyi smiled: "Maybe Zheng Zhilong promised you this, but you can't say it. Once you say it, Lord Zheng will kill you even if I don't want to kill you."
For a moment, Guo Huai's face turned pale.
Ding Yunyi still smiled slightly: "Master Guo, in fact you are nothing. At best, you are just a local tycoon. How can a person like you have the courage to do such a thing? I will kill you like a dog. If someone comes, give it to me.
Guo Huaiyi and Guo Baoyu are on their way!"
"Ding Yunyi!" Guo Huaiyi suddenly shouted loudly: "Do you really dare to kill me? Even if I were a ghost, I would never let you go!"
"I'm not afraid of you as a human being, but I'm afraid of you as a ghost?" Ding Yunyi said calmly: "Drag them out and kill them in front of all the officials and the people!"
The pleas and shouts of the Guo brothers gradually faded away, and Ding Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief. Another force of Zheng Zhilong in Taiwan was eradicated by him.
Consolidating Taiwan has achieved very good results.
"Third Brother." Qin Yun walked in, holding a ledger in his hand: "Most of Hongyi's military compensation has been paid. Those who are willing to stay, in addition to those soldiers, there are 178 people, all of whom are
I have sent people to place them one by one who have expertise in various fields. In fact, there are sixty-one Hongyi people available in the shipyard."
"These people must be treated well." Ding Yunyi nodded: "Seriously, Hongyi still has its own strengths in shipbuilding. We need to build more ships like the Challenger. I estimate that they will be available soon.
There was a head-on conflict with Zheng Zhilong."
Qin Yun responded: "Third brother, according to your instructions, our Daming Ocean Company has sent two ships to conduct exploratory maritime operations to find out whether Zheng Zhilong will take action against me." "He will definitely take action." Ding Yunyi
He waved his hand and interrupted him: "There are two flags on the sea now, one is the flag of my Ming Dynasty inspector Ding, and the other is the command flag of the Zheng family. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Whoever's flag is effective will be followed by those maritime merchants."
, He Zheng Zhilong can rob my ship, and I can also rob the ship with the flag of the Zheng family! In a short period of time, the sea will fall into a very chaotic situation, and there is even the possibility of losing both sides - one by one, one by one...,
Qin Yun showed worry: "Third brother, that's what I said, but the Zheng family has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, and they can bear the loss, but we only have such a small amount of capital and can't afford it. Apart from other things, just three
The amount of money my brother asked me to prepare for disaster relief is quite large. If the confrontation lasts for a long time, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for a few months."
Ding Yunyi remained silent.
The gap between him and Zheng Zhilong is not in military strength, but in financial resources.
Just as Qin Yun said, Zheng Zhilong's wealth can be consumed for several years, but he cannot even afford to consume it for a few months.
Taiwan has not only brought wealth to itself for a period of time, but also allowed itself to make money. What should we do if our family has only a small amount of money?
We worked hard to save money during our time in Penghu, and our financial situation improved greatly. However, in the blink of an eye, all the money we worked hard to save may be lost.
"However, there is no way to maintain it for the time being." Qin Yun suddenly blinked and said.
A smile appeared at the corner of Ding Yunyi's mouth: "Be a pirate?" "Yes!" Qin Yun also smiled involuntarily: "We are not the opponents of the Zheng family if we fight for financial resources and confrontation, but the third brother once said that if the pirates rob us, we will
Can't be robbed? I think it's not just the ships with the Zheng family's flag, but it can also be spread out a little bit more."
Ding Yunyi is like a cow.
When he was in the most difficult time in Penghu, he relied on being a pirate to survive the crisis.
But now that he is the leader of the pirate alliance, the difficult stage has come again, and it seems that he has to use this method again.
"This is not a bad idea." Ding Yunyi slowly opened his mouth and said: "Looting ships is indeed the fastest way to accumulate wealth. In fact, I just thought about it carefully. We have been living in a difficult situation for a long time at sea. Could it be that Zheng Zhilong's life is the same?
Is it better? The ships protected by his Zheng family have never had any accidents, but as long as accidents occur one after another at sea, not only will his credibility be hit hard, but he will also continue to pay compensation, and I don’t believe that he doesn’t feel distressed!"
"He compensates and loses money. If he doesn't compensate, no one will believe him. No matter what, it's always a dilemma." Qin Yun smiled.
Ding Yunyi slapped the table and said, "Do it! Call Ye Dahai and Zhang Xianxuan!"
Ye Dahai and Zhang Xianxuan came after hearing the news. Ding Yunyi briefly explained his idea: "You must not delay the things you are responsible for. At the same time, carefully select fast ships and smart soldiers to pretend to be pirates and rob me at sea."
Loot. Those who carry the flag of the Zheng family, rob!
Steal the Ganrasi people’s boat! Steal the Hongyi people’s boat!”
Ye Dahai and Zhang Xianxuan suddenly became excited, and Ding Yunyi continued: "Don't keep your eyes here, go farther out to sea as far as possible. Those merchant ships on the sea are huge wealth! Every time they successfully rob,
Each ship can keep 30% of the profit for itself as a reward for the brothers! One more thing, let them not fucking grab it, but whoever dares to touch the ship guarded by my flag, I will chop off his head.
!" "Yes!" Ye Dahai and Zhang Xianxuan responded loudly.
They were originally pirates. After listening to the Lord's words, they were eager to give it a try. They wished they could go to sea themselves and have another taste of pirate addiction. Unfortunately, it seemed that the Lord did not have the intention to allow them to go to sea to plunder.
"Da Ming Ocean Company can also organize a few ships. Damn it, let's work with Zheng Zhilong. It seems that the maritime business is difficult, and the salary of the employees in the company is indispensable. There is no other way, and we will find another way to make money." Ding Yunyi hated it.
Hate the truth.
Qin Yun, Ye Dahai, and Zhang Xianxuan looked at each other and smiled. It seems that you are more interested in being a pirate than being an official.
"There is no rule without rules." Ding Yunyi suddenly said: "A few days ago, Hai Nixiong asked someone to give me a seal, which was quite interesting."
As he spoke, he picked up the huge seal with the image of the Pirate Alliance engraved on it. There was a skull on the two knives and the word "alliance" was engraved on it.
This is the seal of the leader of the Pirate Alliance!
"Qin Yun, I read it, you write it." Ding Yunyi pondered for a moment: "Those who hold this order can travel freely and are allowed to plunder; those who do not have this order, plunder without authorization, will not be killed! Order of the leader of the Pirate Alliance." Qin Yun wrote seriously.
Ding Yunyi took it, looked at it, and stamped it with his own seal: "Write more, Xiaojin, and it must be written by your hand. Then stamp it with my seal, and go out to sea to rob the brothers. Each person will have one copy, thinking that it is trustworthy.
Anyone who does not believe in this is an enemy." Qin Yun agreed, but he was very curious. Does he need the permission of the third brother to become a pirate now? It seems that the third brother is single-minded and wants to expand his pirate alliance.
As he was thinking about this, Ding Yunyi suddenly remembered something: Is this considered the Ming Dynasty's "private plundering license"? Did his unintentional move set a precedent before the British?
He couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this.
Ding Yunyi's "private plundering license" was born in Taiwan.!~!
