Chapter 837: Temptation

Song Qing said with a sad face: "Master Jun, how dare the villain risk his own life! It's just that the thieves in Yueqing Bay can do it quickly, and the villain really doesn't know, if he delays for a day or two, the military master mistakenly identifies the villain and defects, and then sends someone to expose the villain's bottom, wouldn't it be a waste of all his efforts?"

Gao Qiao Nan didn't eat him, and replied coldly: "I'll give you two days, and if you don't see the boat outside Yueqing Bay by then, then you will be a failure in your operation." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

A captive who has already failed naturally no longer has any use value for Haihan, and Haihan will not care about his life or death. As for how Song Qing could say that the pirates in Yueqing Bay should do it as soon as possible, that was something he had to think about with his own brain.

However, how to send this guy to Yueqing Bay as soon as possible without arousing the suspicion of local pirates, this is something that the Haihan military must consider. Takahashi Nan asked, "If you are released, how are you going to get to Yueqing Bay?"

Song Qingying said: "The villain goes ashore nearby, and then goes to the nearby fishing village or town wharf to hire a boat." ”

"The fishermen here dare to go to Yueqing Bay?" Gao Qiaonan couldn't help but ask.

"In fact, most of these people captured by your army before were also fishermen. Song Qing didn't dare to hide it, and said a word.

The pirates along the coast of Zhejiang are not all vicious thieves, but there are also many people who are local fishermen who usually fish for a living, and they become pirates when they take up arms at sea, which is one of the reasons why the government has repeatedly banned pirates. Among Song Qing's gang of pirates, two-thirds of them are indeed local fishermen, and they will rob the way by the way when they catch the opportunity while fishing, but this time their luck is really bad, thinking that they have encountered a big fat sheep and come out of the nest, but they didn't expect it to be a vicious wolf in sheep's clothing, and they didn't catch any benefits, and they somehow folded under the hands of the Haihan army.

Until this time, Song Qing had not yet figured out the true identity of these soldiers in front of him, and the only thing he could be sure of was that the armed forces in front of him were definitely not the Ming army, because these people were from head to toe, whether it was military uniforms, weapons, or habits of speaking and doing things, they were all very different from the Ming army he knew. Moreover, there is no such a large fleet of sailors near Wenzhou, and this group of people will never be a nearby garrison.

But to say that this army is his own peers, Song Qing absolutely does not believe it, even if it is Eighteen Zhi, who was in the limelight in Fujian for a while, he will definitely not be able to make such an elite army. Of course, the group of pirates in Yueqing Bay must be far inferior to the armed force in front of them in terms of strength, and this group of people wants to lure their counterparts in Yueqing Bay out to sea, obviously just to facilitate the catch and prevent them from escaping into the mountains when they hear the news.

At this time, someone came to Takahashinan's side and whispered a few words in his ear. After hearing this, Takahashi Nan turned his head to Song Qing and said, "I heard that you also have a brother named Song Xian, right?

Song Qing's face immediately changed color slightly, he and his younger brother Song Xian each took a boat to fight, and after being captured, the two ships of prisoners were separated, and he didn't know what Song Xian's current situation was. But the officer in front of him took the initiative to mention the matter, apparently confirming Song Xian's identity among the prisoners of the other boat. And he specifically mentioned this, probably not to appease himself.

Sure enough, Gao Qiao Nan then continued: "I originally thought that it was a bit unsafe to let you out like this, since you still have a younger brother here, then things will be much easier! You go and handle the things we handed over to you first, as long as you lure out the pirates in Yueqing Bay, you will naturally return your two brothers to freedom afterwards!"

Song Qing was indeed lucky, and wanted to get out of the shore and get free after leaving here, but now that Takahashi Minami is threatening his brother, he has to take a risk. Song Qing is also a clever person, and hurriedly responded: "Then there is Master Lao to take care of the villain's unsuccessful brother, and the villain will return within two days!"

"Very good!" Takahashi Minami wanted his attitude. Although Gao Qiao Nan thought that there were too many uncontrollable variables in Qian Tiandun's hastily determined plan, and sending someone to lure the pirates in Yueqing Bay might not succeed, since this was an order issued by Qian Tiandun, he would do his best to complete it.

After Takahashi Nan told Qian Tiandun about the situation, he asked Song Qing to be sent ashore. There are still a few miles away from Yueqing Bay, and Song Qing did not dare to delay after going ashore, so he rushed to a fishing village five miles away with a few ingots of broken silver given by Gaoqiaonan, found a familiar boatman, and asked him to send him to Maoyun Island at the entrance of Yueqing Bay, where there was someone he needed to contact.

This Maoyun Island is located in the middle of the sea area of Yueqing Bay, also known as "Seamount", with an area of nearly five square kilometers, and is the second largest island in Yueqing Bay. Because of the waterways extending in all directions, this place has been an important place for patrol and defense in all dynasties. In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent the invasion of the Japanese invaders, the imperial court moved the Puqi Inspection Department here. However, more than 200 years later, the station of the inspection department here has long been abandoned, and although there are still many residents on the island, the actual control of this place is in the hands of a group of pirates in Yueqing Bay.

These pirates called themselves the "Yueqing Boat Gang", led by two brothers surnamed Zheng, named Zheng Pingda and Zheng Pinger. However, they are natives of Yueqing, and they have nothing to do with Zheng Zhilong, the leader of the Fujian pirates, just peers and the same surname.

The Zheng brothers were also fishermen in their early years, but were later kidnapped by a group of pirates in the Zhoushan Islands and forced to work for several years in the bloody business. Later, once these pirates fought in Ningbo Mansion, the Zheng brothers seized an opportunity to escape, and finally returned to their hometown safely after a while. However, they did not live a stable life, the family's land, property and fishing boats have been seized and sold, and even the people who have no food to eat. With no way to complain, the two brothers simply returned to their old business, killed the opponent who occupied their family property, and then pulled a group of bitter haha to start an incident in Yandang Town.

Of course, the ordinary fishermen's background is very limited to the Zheng brothers' vision and ability, and all they can do is organize a group of people to go to sea to plunder, and they do not dare to really attack the government and rebel. And this kind of half-people and half-bandit situation is everywhere along the coast of Zhejiang, and the government turns a blind eye most of the time, and as long as it does not raise the banner of rebellion, it will generally not be ruthless to kill these people.

After the debut of the "Yueqing Boat Gang", the luck was good, and in two or three years, it made several big deals, and quickly expanded the scale from the initial dozen people to hundreds of people, and there was already a faint atmosphere of the first gang in Wenzhou. At this time, the Wenzhou government also realized that the cancer of the "Yueqing Boat Gang" had affected the stability of the entire Wenzhou, and began to send troops to kill this group of pirates. However, the "Yueqing Boat Gang" has basically controlled the entire Yueqing Bay at this time, and as soon as the fleet of the sailors arrives at the mouth of Yueqing Bay, the pirates can get the news at the first time and retreat to the mountains in a hurry.

After two or three times like this, the Wenzhou government was also tired -- every time the sailors were dispatched, it cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, and under the mobilization of the people, every time they ended up in the air, and they could not catch the Zheng brothers, the bandit leaders of the "Yueqing Boat Gang", this kind of thankless work, the government was naturally unwilling to continue to do it.

The Zheng brothers robbed a shipload of goods from the Xu family in Fujian last year, and injured the lives of the two Xu families when they started, and this matter was later chased by Xu Xinsu to the Yueqing County Ya, and the Zheng brothers did not want to cause more trouble, so they spent 1,000 taels of silver to buy off the county official who was about to leave office, and directly returned the official document sent by Fujian in the name of "no such person". In Xu Xinsu's opinion, this is simply a deliberate loss of face, so it is no wonder that he will be obsessed with this matter, and after a year, he specially told Xu Yuzhuo to find an opportunity to destroy this group of pirates in this operation.

It is said that Song Qing hurriedly took a boat to Maoyun Island, and after getting off the boat, he rushed straight to a village on the island - the "Yueqing Boat Gang" has a stronghold there, and it is manned all year round.

It is said to be a stronghold, but in fact, it is a courtyard with three entrances. However, it is indeed not possible for ordinary people to build a courtyard with high masonry walls on such an island, and the freight required to transport these building materials from the mainland to the island is not a small amount.

Song Qing had come here with his eldest to meet the Zheng brothers before, so he knew about this place. However, the boss who brought him here had already been killed in this naval battle, and was killed directly by the broken mast falling down. But Song Qing didn't feel any sadness, but was a little bit lucky-if his boss hadn't died, then the errand of coming to Yueqing Bay to be a lobbyist would probably not be his turn Song Qing.

Song Qing came to the door, straightened his clothes a little, and then stepped forward to call the door. Not long after, someone opened the door and came out to check, Song Qing hurriedly reported his name, and finally asked: "I don't know which master is on duty here, the villain has something important to report, please let me know." ”

Song Qing waited at the door for a while, and the man guarding the door came out and called him: "You come with me!"

Song Qing was taken to the flower hall to sit down, and after a while, a middle-aged man in black came out, Song Qing also recognized this person, it was Nan Tie, the leader of the third chair in the "Yueqing Boat Gang", seeing this, he quickly got up and said: "Villain Song Qing, I have seen the three masters!"

"I've seen you, you're Zhu Shanhai's master, right?" After Nantie saw Song Qing, he also recognized his identity: "Last time you accompanied Zhu Shanhai to Maoyun Island, right?"

"The three masters have a good memory, and the villain is following Boss Zhu to do things. Song Qing hurriedly responded: "But Boss Zhu has something to do at this time, and it is inconvenient for him to come to visit the brothers of the Yueqing Boat Gang, so he sent a villain over." ”

Nantie didn't care, nodded and said, "You said that there is something important to report, so let's hear it." ”

Song Qing straightened his thoughts and said: "A few days ago, Boss Zhu got news in Wenzhou City, saying that there was a big deal to go to sea from Wenzhou to Hangzhou in the north. Boss Zhu thought about it, investigated carefully, and found that this transaction could not be eaten by his own family alone, so he wanted to ask the brothers of the boat gang if they were interested in joining forces to make a deal. ”

Nantie asked quietly, "Brother Song, can you tell me how big the deal is?"

Song Qing slowly stretched out his two palms and gestured in front of Nantie: "It is said that there is this number!"

"One hundred thousand?" Nan Tie immediately sat up straight and confirmed to Song Qing again, "You mean this transaction is worth 100,000 taels of silver?"

And so it is. Song Qing nodded and said: "If it weren't for the priceless price, Boss Zhu wouldn't be so anxious, let the villain ask the boat to help his brother within two days, otherwise it will be too late." ”

"With such a big deal, why didn't the spies of our boat gang in Wenzhou City send back the news?" Nantie didn't bite the hook directly, and muttered to himself a little suspiciously.

Before Song Qing was released, Takahashi Nan had already told him about several possible situations and how to answer to avoid suspicion, and now he happened to encounter one of them. Song Qing said according to Gaoqiao Nanjiao: "Three masters, the owner of this goods will keep it secret very well, and only our family in the whole Wenzhou has received the news." How did you get this news? Boss Zhu's cousin was working on the owner's ship, and this is news from his own mouth, and there will be no falsehood. If everybody knew about it, then the news wouldn't be worth much. ”

"What you said makes some sense...... Nantie twisted the beard on his chin and responded: "If there is really a cargo worth 100,000 yuan, then it is cost-effective to join forces to make this one." However, the Ming people don't say secret words, you and I join forces, how to distribute this after it is successful, we have to explain it first. ”

When Song Qing heard his answer, he knew that the fish had been baited, and immediately replied: "The news of this matter is all provided by us, so naturally there will be a lot of points." Boss Zhu took care of the boat gang brothers, and was willing to give 30% of the money he got to the boat gang as a hardship fee. ”

"Sancheng?" Nantie immediately shook his head and said: "Don't say anything about joining forces without five achievements, although you have provided the news, but the one who wants to contribute is mainly our boat gang, this three-seven opening is too unreasonable, I think it is still appropriate to open five-five." ”

Now that he has begun to bargain, Song Qing's mood has finally relaxed a lot, and he immediately argued: "How to distribute the proceeds afterwards, and also look at the value of this batch of goods, on weekdays, the boat helps the brothers to go out once, and it is already considered a good harvest if they can get a few thousand taels, right?

Nantie Xindao is because of the high total price, so you have to bite this share and not let go, you poor sour is really pedantic. If you should divide it here, when the Zheng brothers know, I am afraid that they will think that they have cut off some benefits from it.

At the moment, Nantie did not let go, and continued to bargain with Song Qing. The two of them were dry, and finally Song Qing asked: "You might as well let this divide go first, how long will it take for you to send troops? If it is slow, this fleet will cross the boundary, but it will be difficult to chase it again!"
