102 Yuan Laoba (3rd Shift)
Xu Haibin went out this time, and the person he wanted to meet was an amazing figure, at least, among the pirate gangs, he was one of the best figures.
Today's era is no longer the era of Wang Zhi and Xu Hai's pirates. After being harvested by the two famous generals Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang, the pirates have not yet come to their senses. Although there are more and more people who go to the sea to be thieves because of life, there are very few people who can be named by the government, and the one Xu Haibin they want to see is one of the only few sea thieves.
Yuan Laoba, his background is unknown, his age is unknown, all his background is blurred in the eyes of the government, but the more than 2,000 pirates who dare to fight under his hands are a nail between Japan and Fujian, which makes the Daming sailors fearful.
In today's era, in the area of the Taiwan Strait, the only pirate who can be stronger than Yuan Laoba is probably the maritime merchant Li Dan who lives in Japan. However, Li Dan has a legitimate profession, and being a pirate is just a side hustle for him, just like Wang Zhi during the Jiajing period. Li Dan controlled six or seven tenths of the maritime trade between Japan and the Ming Dynasty, and also had a deep friendship with the Dutch, and did all the business to the Japanese emperor, and matched the Japanese shogunate with the Dutch and became a broker.
Therefore, when it comes to pirates, Yuan Laoba can be regarded as a number of pirates in the late Wanli period, at least for now.
Finally, after several days of wandering, Xu Haibin came to Yuan Laoba's lair with people and gifts, and met this famous sea coward in the Taiwan Strait. It's really better to meet than to be famous, I thought that the pirate who broke through the great reputation would be what kind of hero, but after meeting, I realized that the person in front of me was just a thin ordinary old man, placed in the countryside, carrying a hoe, it was no different from a farmer in the field.
"Master Xu, you and I don't seem to have any friendship, I don't know what the purpose of this visit is?" For the sake of Xu Haibin being sensible, for the sake of giving so many gifts, Yuan Laoba still patiently received several of them.
"I've heard the name of Yuan Da for a long time, and I think I've had a foothold in Yuegang for some years, and I haven't visited it in person, so please forgive me."
"You and I are not people all the way, and we have no friendship, so how can I forgive me."
"The big boss is very courageous, not informal, but he is the proprietor of Jirentang in the next step, and he often goes under the jurisdiction of the big boss, and he takes care of the big boss, and he comes to visit, which should be." To tell the truth, Jirentang can be safe in Fujian, and there are few accidents, and it does have the credit of Yuan Laoba, but this is also what he Xu Haibin bought with money.
"Hahaha!! Xu Dongzhu understands people, not bad. Although Yuan Laoba is a rough man, he is actually not lacking in wisdom, otherwise how could he lay such a foundation: "Come on, watch the tea!" ”
Several people sat together and said countless polite words, until Xu Haibin felt that the time was ripe, and he made clear today's intention.
"The big boss clearly sees that this time I came down, in fact, I also have a request for you."
"Oh, let's hear it." Yuan Laoba was noncommittal, and his heart was finally on topic.
"A few years ago, a sea ship in my Jirentang left the port, but I didn't expect it to disappear in the Lanyu area, and it was not a pity that the cargo was in the next place, but some time ago, my work was sharp-eyed, and I saw my missing sea ship, and tracked it down on a whim, but I didn't think about it, and I found out that the Qiongzhou Shark Gang did a good thing."
"I don't mean anything else, I just want to come over and report to the big boss, so as not to keep the big boss in the dark and suffer some dark losses." Xu Haibin looked kind-hearted.
"That's true???" Hearing this news, Yuan Laoba suddenly changed color, and looked at Xu Haibin and the others fiercely.
"It's true, for this reason, I also invited the people involved, Youwang and Li, you can tell me about the situation at that time." Xu Haibin pulled the two parties out.
Captain Li and Youwang described the situation of the day with added fuel and vinegar, of course, there are a lot of distorted words, which is also Xu Haibin's intention, otherwise how can it arouse the attention and anger of this big man. Don't look at the pirate gangs everywhere now, but several pirates still have some restraint and vigilance against each other, and they still mind each other's hands and feet reaching out to their own territory for the pirate gangs that can challenge their status.
Li De's Crazy Shark Gang, although in terms of scale, is still far behind Yuan Laoba and his gang, but the suspicious nature and strong pirate character make Yuan Laoba like to prevent trouble before it happens, which is also one of the reasons why the pirate gangs in Fujian have not been able to develop and grow.
Xu Haibin took a fancy to Yuan Laoba's temperament, so he visited the other party today, hoping to borrow the other party's hand to get rid of this scourge. When he heard that this Hongtang was related to the Qiongzhou Shark, his intention to get rid of the other party was even stronger, the more profound this background, the more he should get rid of the other party before he became bigger, otherwise, it would be endless trouble.
"Thank you for telling me Proprietor Xu, I will definitely find out about this matter." With a gloomy old face, Yuan Lao Ba was unexpectedly revealed.
"It's just a matter of effort." Xu Haibin is full of pride, this mission has been successfully completed, what else is there to say.
Li Tianyang didn't expect that he would provoke these things just by grabbing it once. I don't know if he would have made this decision to rob again if he had regret medicine, but unfortunately, now he and a group of teenagers are so kept in the dark that they don't know anything.
With the addition of more than 200 displaced people, the speed of land reclamation in Bengang has been much faster, and now it is mid-April, and the first batch of seedlings has begun to germinate. This time, most of the potatoes they planted were sweet potatoes, because they grew quickly, nearly twice as fast as other crops.
When He Yong brought back the news of the drought in Shandong and Henan from Yuegang, Li Tianyang had already begun to move his mind and wanted to take this opportunity to get more people to settle down. Of course, Li Tianyang has not fallen behind on the natives' side, under his various rogue tricks, where can the natives of the Zhuluo Mountain Society parry and live, there are already nearly two hundred natives who have been following Li Tianyang for a long time. That's not even counting the natives who occasionally come over to play the autumn breeze.
And because of the good relationship with each other, it has even affected many small tribes around the Zhuluo Mountain Society, and there are fewer hidden arrows and robberies that often appeared in the past, and more natives from different tribes put down their weapons and turned to carry the farm tools that Li Tian raised in their camp, and exchanged their labor for the materials they needed.
