Chapter 20: Making a Plan to Go to the Sea (1)
"To the sea?" Qin Chengzu looked at Fu Qinghe suspiciously.
Zhou Pu and Cao Ziang snorted lightly, turned their heads and didn't speak, and didn't look at Fu Qinghe, that look undoubtedly told him: You are not qualified to stand up and speak.
Wu Qi was quite interested, he was also the most kind to Fu Qinghe, his elbow was propped on the table, he leaned over and asked, "Why can you go to the sea, Uncle Sanhu said to listen to it?" He is still used to calling Fu Qinghe's old name.
Fu Qinghe ignored Zhou Pu and Cao Ziang's faces, and said: "I learned the news that the surrender of the luxury family is a foregone conclusion, and the luxury family will be the marquis and seize Jin'an-over the years, it has been rumored that the East China pirates are really connived at by the luxury family, and the power has been recovered, and this rumor should be credible." The surrender of the luxury family is about to become a fact, maybe the luxury family needs to express their sincerity to the imperial court, maybe the luxury family will be worried that the future East pirates will not be able to fall into a big trend, but the luxury family will not completely abandon their martial arts - it can be predicted that in the next few years, the East Pirate forces will be in a delicate balance. In this situation, Chengzu, although your number is small, it is not impossible for you to go to sea to find a place to live......"
Qin Chengzu thought of the three-masted sailing ship on the shallow shore of Puhai in Qingjiang, he glanced out the window, and there were two teenagers on the stern side of the ship holding bamboo stabbing guns on duty, and asked, "You also go to sea?" When he first saw these teenagers last night, he thought that they couldn't help, because to ensure the impact of the attack from behind, when the official ship was hijacked, Qin Chengzu, Zhou Pu and others all dived into the water, and the people left on the boat were limited, he didn't expect that these teenagers with strange bamboo guns successfully prevented the officers and soldiers from rushing into the cabin, and even killed six officers and soldiers.
"Well, I'll take them to the sea with you," Fu Qinghe glanced at the young man outside the window, nodded and said, "Lin Ye has his own future, we can't delay him; Besides, we want to go out to sea and settle down, and we can't do it without anyone on the shore......"
This was what Lin Jian and Fu Qinghe had just discussed.
Without Qin Chengzu and them, it would be very difficult for these teenagers to survive at sea; Lin Jian had thought about going back to Dongyang Mansion or Jiangning Mansion to find a place to settle them, but in fact, it was also very difficult.
In the past few years, military disasters have come and gone one after another, and there have been influxes of displaced people in Jiangning Mansion and Dongyang Mansion. The biggest possibility is to let Fu Qinghe take the juveniles to mix in with the displaced people first and then plan for the long term - this is also very dangerous, the government will clean up the displaced people in the territory from time to time, either repatriate to their hometowns, or resettle locally, the identity of the juveniles is always the biggest problem.
Now that he is going to sea with Qin Chengzu and them, he doesn't have to worry about encountering a small group of pirate forces. Especially at present, considering that the luxury family will be stable for a period of time after returning to the imperial court, the East China pirates will also be somewhat restrained, and the sea area east of the mouth of the Yangtze River will be relatively calm.
Qin Jizu's family of Liuma Kou will not make a living by plundering the countryside after going to sea, Lin Jian doesn't want these teenagers to become pirates who harm the world, Fu Qinghe takes all the teenagers and Qin Chengzu to the sea, and someone on the shore also needs to take care of them, so as to barely survive on the sea - there is no one more suitable than Lin Jian to take care of them on the shore!
In a few years, when Xiao Taoyuan is transferred out of Ninghai Town, these teenagers can return to Chongzhou to reunite with their families.
***********************************************
Fu Qinghe suggested going to the sea to recuperate, but Qin Chengzu frowned, and it was difficult to decide.
Cao Ziang, Zhou Pu, Wu Qi, Feng Peipei and other leaders of the Liumakou were all in thought. They are all soberly aware that their living space on land is already very narrow, and it may be a good choice to go to sea, and the three-masted galleon at the mouth of Qingjiangpu is a good sea vessel, but they cannot but consider the practical difficulties: they are used to being horse thieves, and have been begging for a living on horseback for more than ten years, and for them, the sea is a strange place.
Where is there a place to stay on the sea, how can we gain a foothold on the sea, how can we avoid conflicts with other pirate forces, and how can the people on the shore take care of it? All of this needs to be taken into account.
Lin Jian sat quietly on the sidelines, listening to the gentle sound of the waves crashing on the bottom of the boat and the wind blowing through the reeds, a bright moon hanging high in the lead-gray night sky, and the moonlight splashing in from the window was like water, shining on his face.
Qin Chengzu squinted at Lin Tie and asked, "By the way, I only heard that the Three Tigers said that Lin Ye also had the righteousness to help him and save his life, but I haven't heard you talk about this in detail." ”
Qin Chengzu was not familiar with Lin Bin, and he had not heard of any famous people in Shiliang County, Dongyang Prefecture in recent years, but the young man in front of him really made him admire. Fu Qinghe also made a great effort to help this time, but Qin Chengzu had a deep knot in his heart for Fu Qinghe, and his gratitude to Fu Qinghe was a little indifferent; However, his gratitude to Lin Jian was completely different, Lin Jian was a completely unrelated person to them, just because of Fu Qinghe's relationship, not only did he stay out of the matter and risk killing his head to exterminate the clan to help, they were able to save Ziang and Siniangzi and others so easily this time, and they also relied on his Qice.
Among Qin Chengzu, Zhou Pu is the most straightforward, and he treats people affectionately and directly, when he entered the cabin to discuss things just now, he affectionately hugged Lin Lian's shoulder and praised him: "My old Zhou has lived for all these years, and I have seen many heroes, you must definitely be counted as the number one, Mr. Qin is good at everything else, but he is sticky and not simple, in my heart, he is not as good as you!" ”
Qin Chengzu could only smile bitterly when he heard this, he was self-aware, he knew that he was good at scheming and difficult to decide, and he had taken his brothers to be a horse thief carefully over the years, and he couldn't escape the disaster of Jiangling. Back then, if Fu Qinghe wanted to stay, he was willing to be Fu Qinghe's deputy, but now is not the time to regret the past, and he must have a plan for the future.
If it was an ordinary decision, Qin Chengzu would never break the casserole and ask Lin Tie to the end, but when it came to the survival of more than forty brothers who lived and died and nearly two hundred family members, Qin Chengzu couldn't help but consider every detail.
Lin Lian smiled and said: "It's really insignificant, Fu Ye and I are the rest of our lives after the catastrophe, and we can't talk about who saves whom, but it is these teenagers, and the encounter makes people feel very regretful...... "I hope to be in the same boat in the future, there is no need to hide some things from Qin Chengzu and others, Lin Lian started from Su Mei stopping the boat in Baisha County to sell his art for disaster relief, from the East China Sea pirates and robbers to the officers and soldiers who continued to use the teenagers as meat tickets to extort money, and he and Fu Qinghe killed officers and soldiers on the desert island to save people, and told Qin Chengzu and others in detail.
Zhou Pu heard what was going on, slammed his fists on the table, and scolded with hatred: "These fuckers, they are all dog/mother-raised turtle sons!" Kill hard! He became more and more respectful to Lin Bin, stood up and arched his hand and said, "I usually don't like reading people the most, Lin Ye really admires me!" ”
"Don't dare to be," Lin Jian apologized to Qin Chengzu again, "It's about the lives of the young people, I couldn't tell the truth beforehand, I hope Qin Zu will forgive me!" ”
"It should be cautious," Qin Chengzu said, he was also shocked by Lin Lian's identity in his heart, "Qin never thought that Lin Ye was a scholar who was full of learning. It's not that the identity of the lifter is to see how expensive he is, but he didn't expect that Lin Lianggang could help them regardless of his future and life and death in the middle of the exam, which completely subverted his consistent view of scholars.
"It's just a fluke in the exam, not enough to mention." Lin Jian smiled, seeing that Qin Chengzu and the others seemed to be surprised by his status.
"Lin Ye can get away with it again!" Zhou Pu laughed evilly, looked at Qin Chengzu with his eyes, and said, "Mr. Qin was admitted to Xiucai at the age of fourteen, and he is a famous prodigy in Hejian Mansion, but unfortunately he didn't get away with it until he was thirty years old, so he had to join the army, and now he is the leader of horse thieves, so he can't get lucky." ”
Qin Chengzu shook his head and smiled bitterly; Cao Ziang lightly pounded Zhou Pu's shoulder socket and didn't let him talk nonsense, but after knowing Lin Lian's identity and the things Lin Lian did for Fu Qinghe, Su Mei and the boys, he also admired Lin Lian even more, and he also firmly believed that Lin Lian and Fu Qinghe had no selfish intentions in helping them this time. Cao Ziang covered his mouth and coughed twice, his eyes looked at Lin Jian for a while, shook his head and smiled: "It's really unexpected." ”
In the past month, thousands of miles of sea and frontier, wind and sun, Lin Bin's temperament and image have changed a lot from when he was in Baisha County a month ago, his skin was blown black and rough by the sea breeze, and his cheeks were originally shaved down, his face lines were hard and handsome, his nose bridge was straight, his eyes were sharp, and he had a vigorous and sharp spirit, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like the Confucian scholars they usually looked down on.
Qin Chengzu sat next to him and suddenly remembered something, patted his head and said to Cao Ziang: "We have neglected Miss Su......"
"Yes, I'm tired of the four ladies for a trip!" Cao Ziang hurriedly said to the fourth lady, Feng Peipei.
They all regarded Su Mei and Xiaoman as concubines and maidservants of Lin Tie before, and naturally they would not be notified to come over during the discussion, where did they think that Su Mei was actually a famous prostitute in Jiangning, and Fu Qinghe was just a guard hired by her? Qin Chengzu is a rogue on the Huai, and he will not look down on Su Mei's happy identity, on the contrary, Su Mei's chivalrous spirit in helping them rob the official ship makes them admire. Only then did I know that I was negligent to Su Mei's master and servant, and I hurriedly asked the fourth lady, Feng Peipei, to invite someone.
