I want to be a grandson

Chapter 592 After the first time, it's easy...

"Father, isn't Shi Jinqing suitable?"

At this moment, there were no outsiders in the hall, and Chen Shan finally said what he was holding back in his heart.

"He is not suitable, so is there any suitable person?" Chen Zuyi asked rhetorically.

"It's okay for them to fight and kill, but they can't do this kind of feigned surrender and defrauding others' trust.

Only Shi Jinqing, who has read many books and is flexible in mind, is the most suitable candidate among us. "

"Father, but... But Shi Jinqing and us are not completely of the same mind?" Chen Shan said worriedly.

Chen Zuyi sneered, "If he doesn't have one heart, who is one with us? Remember, no one in this world can be trusted! Shi Jinqing is like this, and so are the others!"

Of course Chen Zuyi knew that Shi Jinqing and himself were sometimes inseparable, but fraudulent surrender and defrauding others' trust is a very delicate job, and ordinary people can't do it.

Among their main leaders, no one can take on this matter except him.

"Third Uncle... also?"

"No exception!" Chen Zuyi said coldly.

Chen Shan took a deep breath. The other bosses lived and died with his father, and they were married to Jinlan. Someone once blocked the knife for him...

And there is also an uncle of his own...

None of these people can be trusted?
"Baby... I know..."

"Snapped!"

Before Chen Shan could react, he was slapped and fell to the ground.

Chen Zuyi stared into his eyes, and said fiercely, "Also, when you shouldn't talk, just shut up!"

"Yes, the child knows it's wrong..."

Chen Shan knew that it was because he had just volunteered and talked nonsense.

……

On the ship, Shi Jinqing was sitting in the cabin, with the surrender letter on the table, he couldn't help frowning, and fell into deep thought.

"Father, are you really going to deliver a letter to feign surrender for Chen Zuyi?"

A woman in tight military uniform brought a cup of tea to Shi Jinqing and said worriedly.

This woman is Shi Jinqing's second daughter, called Second Sister Shi. Although she is a woman, she is quite wise and treats the soldiers well. Therefore, she is very prestigious among the people and belongs to Shi Jinqing's right-hand man.

"Daughter, Chen Zuyi has been pressing you again and again. It's impossible not to deliver the letter for him. Dad can't help it..."

Second Sister Shi sat aside and said, "Father, the Daming Mission is not easy to lie to. We all came here from Daming. There are countless people who have read poetry and books in Daming, and how many people are active in mind.
To win their trust with just a letter of false surrender, it is as difficult as going to heaven! "

"Furthermore, the new emperor of Ming Dynasty has a deep hatred for Western pirates. He has clearly stated that he will wipe out the missions of various countries. Chen Zuyi is full of crimes. Even if he sincerely surrenders to Daming, he will not let him live! Not to mention a false surrender!

Dad, you must think twice, and ask Dad for an idea before meeting the Ming army. "

Shi Jinqing put his hands on his forehead, rubbed his sore brows and temples, and said in great distress, "If it wasn't for our own reasons, why did we bother to go through this muddy water! Now my mind is in a mess, and I can't think of a clue at all. ,

Daughter, you have always been smart and courageous, tell me, what should you do about this matter? "

Second Sister Shi looked at her father, took a deep breath, and said what was in her heart, "Father, the Ming army is powerful and must not be an enemy. Chen Shan led ten warships out to sea and encountered There were only three warships patrolling the seas of the Ming Dynasty, and they almost wiped out the entire army!
I heard from the pirates who escaped by chance that they were bombarded and smashed the ship before they even reached the Ming army!Therefore, my daughter expected that Chen Zuyi would definitely hit a stone with an egg in front of the Ming army! "

Seeing Shi Jinqing nod his head frequently and his face became more and more serious, Second Sister Shi said, "Father, why don't we take this opportunity and join the Ming army!"

Shi Jinqing didn't speak, his face became more and more serious, and he clenched his fists involuntarily.

……

The boat sailed for another two days, getting closer and closer to the place where the Ming army was stationed at Srivijaya.

This day, I saw a big Ming treasure ship from a distance, and that huge figure was extremely oppressive, which made Shi Jinqing firmer in his thoughts.

When the Ming army waved the flag and issued a semaphore, Shi Jinqing immediately asked the people below to respond, telling Ming Jian that he came to surrender and ask for permission, and he did not have any malicious intentions.

Therefore, he immediately ordered the ship to stop and dock, and let the soldiers of Ming Dynasty board the ship for inspection.

After inspection, it was confirmed that they had nothing but personal weapons, and there were only ten or twenty boatmen, which were not within reach of danger,
The Ming soldiers immediately informed the rear of the news, and the Ming army ordered his ship to stay where it was, while he himself carried Shi Jinqing, father and daughter, back to the camp.

Ma He and others received the news, and only then did the scene of receiving the letter in the tent.

Holding the letter in his hand, Ma He raised his voice, "Hehehe, take a look too, Chen Zuyi sent his leader to send the letter of surrender."

Drop the book?

Wang Yi finally appeared and took a look, frowned and couldn't help but said, "Chen Zuyi has nearly [-] thieves, and we broke a few boats, killing and injuring hundreds of people. to the point of hurting the bones,
He wants to surrender now?In my opinion, I'm afraid it's a false surrender! "

Qianhu Liu Tang also said, "It must be a fraudulent surrender. Chen Zuyi has been rampant in the West for many years, and he has never paid attention to the government and the court. Otherwise, he would not be so bold as to dare to go to the coast of our Daming to plunder.

What to say to see Da Mingming's power and be frightened all day long, but it's just a false surrender!Never believable! "

joke!

I'm still waiting to get credit for killing Chen Zuyi!
If he really surrendered, what credit would he have!And Liu Tang can clearly feel the cunning in it!
Another Qianhu also said, "My lord, during the Hongwu period, the Supreme Emperor once offered a reward of 50 taels of silver for the capture of Chen Zuyi, no matter whether he lived or died, just to make him a model and eradicate this evil!

Coupled with His Majesty's attitude, Chen Zuyi would not be ignorant, but he still surrendered... Humph, could it be that he is getting impatient and wants to take the initiative to seek death? "

Liu and Tang said so, and several other Qianhu also held the same opinion.

Regardless of credit, everyone felt that the possibility of Chen Zuyi's surrender was not high.

"Come here, bring the messenger. The messenger wants to see what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd!"

A moment later, Shi Jinqing entered the big tent under the leadership of the Ming soldiers.

As soon as he entered the account, Shi Jinqing bowed and saluted, and shouted in his mouth, "Little man Shi Jinqing, pay homage to the Great Angel! May His Majesty the Ming Emperor rest in peace!"

Ma He nodded and asked, "Shi Jinqing, Chen Zuyi sent you a letter of surrender. In this letter, he said that he was willing to surrender to the imperial court, handed over half of his soldiers and horses, and asked the imperial court to let him stay in Palembang forever. Is this true? Fake?"

In order to cheat for trust, Chen Zuyi did not keep his posture low. Instead, he not only gave face to the Ming court, made concessions, but also made his own demands.

Only in this way can I show my sincerity of surrender.

Hearing Ma He's inquiry, Shi Jinqing suddenly became nervous!

The weather was already hot, and he felt uneasy. At this time, under the gaze of several pairs of eyes around him, there were beads of sweat on his brow.

Only now did he realize that his original calmness and grace were nothing but self-deception!
If you really encounter a matter of life and death, you will also tremble!
"Shi Jinqing, answer after thinking about it, if you dare to lie, I'll throw you into the sea and feed the fish!" Wang Yi stared at his threat with an unkind expression.

"Plop" sound,
Shi Jinqing had no doubts about the Ming army's handling methods, besides, he had already had a feud with his daughter on the way,

So he knelt down on the ground and wept, "The villain dare not hide it. I will report back to the Great Heavenly Angel. This letter of surrender is a fake. It was written by Chen Zuyi to swindle surrender.

Great angel, villain... the villain was forced to come here, please spare the villain's life..."

Ma He and the others exchanged colors, which also confirmed the inferences of a few people just now.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Jinqing explained all of Chen Zuyi's plans.

After hearing this, Wang Yi yelled at the case angrily, "tnd! Chen Zuyi really had the guts of a bear! He dared to feign surrender! He even planned to attack us!"

Ma He stood up, walked in front of Shi Jinqing and stretched out his hand to help him up, saying, "I never thought there would be such a loyal person like you among the pirates, please get up quickly, come and sit down."

"I can't make it work..."

Shi Jinqing waved his hand and said, "How dare a villain sit in front of an angel, and invite an adult to take his seat!"

Wang Yi glanced at Ma He, then turned his eyes to Shi Jinqing, frowned and said, "My lord, Chen Zuyi is certainly hateful, but what he said may not be true... Who knows if he did it on purpose."

"The villain is wronged..."

Shi Jinqing said eagerly, "everything the villain said is true, if there is even half a lie, the villain will be struck by lightning and die! Please don't doubt the angel..."

Wang Yi's eyes flickered a few times, obviously hesitating, and he asked slowly, "Then let me ask you, where is Chen Zuyi's lair, how is the deployment of troops, how are the weapons equipped, and what are the usual methods of naval warfare? Tell me all about it! "

Shi Jinqing didn't know that this was Mingjun asking him to hand in the nomination certificate, so he hurriedly reported, "Reporting to the angel, Chen Zuyi's lair is in Longwan, the old port.
In addition to leading a large number of troops to plunder, Chen Zuyi will deploy all his troops here, and several bands of pirates have also come here these days, adding another five or six thousand people..."

"As for the weapons, they are all swords and spears. There are few firearms, and there are a few firecrackers. However, due to the lack of gunpowder, they are rarely used at ordinary times, so I don't know how much ammunition there is...

He has hundreds of ships under his command, seven to 8000 pirates, and claims tens of thousands to the outside world. He is equipped with many nooses on sea ships and is good at close combat on board.

And the ship is also equipped with a lot of kerosene, if you encounter a tough opponent, you will use fire to burn the ship..."

Shi Jinqing spoke in great detail, telling everything he knew without hiding anything.

After he finished speaking, Ma He and Wang Yi turned their gazes to Jin Yiwei Qianhu who was sitting in the corner. That Qianhu nodded and told them that what Shi Jinqing said was equivalent to what Jin Yiwei had inquired about.

Now that what Shi Jinqing said was true, the attitude of Ma He and the others eased a lot, and they sent him down and greeted him with good wine and meat.

Since it is necessary to surrender, it must not be settled at one time.

Ma He wrote back a letter and asked Shi Jinqing to bring it to Chen Zuyi.

Then Shi Jinqing took a fast boat and returned to the old port all the way to present the letter.

After reading the reply letter from the Daming Mission, Chen Zuyi laughed and said, "Brother Shi, you did a good job on this job! Thank you for your hard work!"

Upon hearing this, several leaders below hurriedly asked, "Brother, does this mean that the army has been fooled?"

Chen Zuyi nodded, handed over the letter and said, "Here is the letter, read it for yourself!"

The leaders quickly took the letter, tied their heads together and read it, but after reading it, they didn't feel relaxed at all.

Chen Zuyi's younger brother, Chen Zuguang, asked suspiciously, "Brother, the envoys of the Ming Dynasty clearly insulted us in this letter.
And let us catch them as soon as possible, where is this, where is the peace talks! "

Looking at the puzzled expressions of the few people, Chen Zuyi smiled and said, "It is true that we should be arrested without a fight, but did you not see the last sentence, saying that if we sincerely surrender, we should think about our mistakes and change our evil deeds!"

Seeing that a few people still didn't understand, Chen Zuyi had no choice but to explain, "If they are not ready to accept our surrender, why should we make us think about our mistakes and change our ways!
Hmph, it's just that the Daming Mission is not sure whether we really want to return, so the letter is written more strictly, one can show that they are superior, and the other is that they are afraid of taking responsibility before the matter is clarified! "

He smiled and said, "Think about it, if you were the envoys of Ming Dynasty, would you easily believe in a letter of surrender?"

"Oh, that's how it is..." Then everyone suddenly realized.

He hurriedly asked again, "Brother, since they don't quite believe it, what should we do?"

Chen Zuguang also said, "That's right, brother. They must have heard about the gathering of pirates, brother. We can't just cut off our limbs just to win their trust."

"It's easy!"

Chen Zuyi said, "Then tell the Ming army that these pirates are gifts from us to Daming. We will turn our guns to destroy these pirates on the day of surrender.
In this way, there will be no more pirates in the entire Western Ocean, and there will be peace!I don't believe they can ignore this chip! "

Chen Zuyi immediately fetched pen and ink and a letter.

Then he said to Shi Jinqing: "Brother Shi, I need to trouble you to make a hard trip, and when you are successful, you can discuss your merits with your brothers and reward them!"

This kind of thing is like that kind of thing, if there is a first time, there will be a second time, countless times...

The experience summed up by so many masters is no exception for Shi Jinqing.

So he took the letter and set off immediately...

So Shi Jinqing, as a messenger between the two sides, went back and forth several times before finally negotiating the surrender plan.
