Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 471
The remaining two fishermen on the island were taken to the Penghu Inspection Department. Zheng Duo, the top military and political officer here, had a wooden face that was obviously sullen and humiliated to the extreme. Looking at it, he wished he could swallow them alive. , while patting the board in turn, while swearing.

"You two bears! Kill talents! Betray fish! How dare you betray me, Daming! Someone who kills a thousand knives, someone, drag them out, and throw them into the sea with three knives and six holes!"

The oil lamp that was lighted temporarily was flickered by this guy's spittle, and it was almost not extinguished. Song Qingshu's mouth twitched when he saw it.

"Master Zheng wait a minute!"

Reaching out to stop Zheng Jun who rushed in, Song Qingshu suddenly showed a smiling face, walked up to the two terrified fishermen, smiled and nodded to them.

"Both of you are from Penghu?"

To tell the truth, Song Qingshu really doesn't look like a general compared to those warriors of Ming Dynasty, his beard is neatly trimmed, and his face looks a bit like a student's scroll. After all, Song Qingshu himself can't accept that he came from later generations and left himself with Zhang Fei's beard.

Seeing Song Qingshu's amiable appearance, the two fishermen calmed down for a while without hitting the smiling face. The older man with beards was the first to kowtow.

"Back to the adults, the younger ones, the younger ones are not from Penghu, the younger ones were ordered by Lord Zheng Zhilong to relocate the senior officials, and open up wasteland to fish there. The Dutch will give us some money so that we can see the Great Tomorrow Army stationed in Penghu, so we should go back quickly. Tell them, Master, spare your life! I really don’t know if I won’t let you, but I’m willing to give all the money to the master, please show me your mercy!”

"Yes, my lord, please forgive me!"

Good guy, I recruited them all without continuing to talk, but Song Qingshu was still speechless, watching them take out those two pitch-black Dutch silver dollars, less than two cents of silver, just because of this, the sudden fleet raid All the sex was sold, Song Qingshu really felt that he had completely lost.

What's more, Zheng Zhilong's rescue of immigrants to Taiwan during the severe drought in Fujian was a bad thing, which is even more speechless.

However, he still reached out his hand to stop the murderous Zheng Duo, Song Qingshu touched his waist, and actually ground out a big ingot, at least twelve heavy ingots were thrown in front of the two of them with a bang.

"Sir, this?"

Looking at the silver, the eyeballs of the two fishermen almost popped out, and they even swallowed secretly. Under Zheng Duo's astonished eyes, Song Qingshu said with a smile: "Now the imperial army is hoarding here, and they are going to conduct military exercises. , is to drill the formation, so that we can fight the Japanese pirates better, but this is a secret, and we can’t let the Dutch know, I will reward you for this money, you go back and tell those of you who receive the Dutch silver coins, don’t spread the news anymore!”

Ten taels of silver was worth more than the whole family's belongings. The eyes of the two fishermen immediately lit up like light bulbs, and they kowtowed in a hurry.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely pass on the word to you!"

The two fishermen backed out thankfully with the silver in their hands. Zheng Duo showed a look of sudden realization, and immediately gave Song Qingshu a reassuring look, and followed him out. It is estimated that the other fishermen who were dragged out by the two fishermen would be unlucky , but Song Qingshu is currently in no mood to care about the fate of the fishermen, there is an imminent battle waiting for him, and now the situation has become more difficult.

"Idiots! The world is going down, there are too many people like this, otherwise, how can Jiannu be invincible in Liaodong? Otherwise, why are there so many thieves dancing around in the country?"

Zheng Duo on this one went out to deal with the spies, while on the other end, Zhang Huangyan, who was accompanying him, was still angry, and roared and cursed behind him with an ugly face. Hearing Song Qingshu who was about to turn his head and go out, he couldn't help but turn away again. Head, shook his head heavily.

"It's not that the world is getting worse, but that our people are too poor! They know etiquette well enough, these people will not be ignorant of this taboo, but just because two silver coins are worth most of their family property, [-]% A profit of two hundred is enough to make people desperate!"

"So the best way to solve the current troubled times is to make the people at the bottom get rich, rather than trying to get rid of the last copper in their pockets!"

The first time I read Song Qingshu, I also showed unprecedented seriousness, even resentment, and anger. Zhang Huangyan couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but then he showed a contemplative expression. He knows etiquette well enough, which is also an important part of Confucian classics. One sentence, but these scholar-officials, when did they put this most important sentence in the least important position, Zhang Huangyan had to reflect.

"Okay, don't think about it too much. If you want the big guy to get rich, you have to create more job opportunities. To create more job opportunities, you have to take down the island of Taiwan in front of you and get a tentacle that reaches into the ocean. Today You don’t need to sleep tonight, let’s go back and think more about how to break the Dutch officials!”

"Obey, Commander!"

Zhang Huangyan instantly put all the complicated thoughts behind him, and suddenly he understood, as long as he follows Song Qingshu, he is definitely not a selfish and vulgar martial artist. Maybe he has more ideas about the future than himself, since If you follow Song Qingshu, then show off your intelligence and help him realize his dream!
The two left the Penghu Inspection Department one after another. Zhang Huangyan really went to kick up the staff and try to find a way together, but Song Qingshu was still very irritable in his heart and didn't go back to sleep. In the fishing village by the sea, you can vaguely see the flames shining and the sound of crying. It is estimated that Zheng Duo is catching the mole. The bustling sea just now has become quiet at this time. The sea breeze has calmed down a lot. When he went back, who knew that just as he turned his head, a saber light suddenly came into his eyes.

When I came here, there was a large reef facing the sea in the northeast of Penghu, but now, the reef was submerged and only the head was exposed. Some whispers came from there, seeing the shining knife light, Song Qingshu couldn't help going up, On the reef, he met three people who surprised him.

The little mischievous William was yawning with his arms folded, his eyes were darkened, he was dressed like Uchiha Sasuke, and he was still holding the Ono sword, facing the oncoming waves, Zheng Sen's face was extremely serious. The knife was draped downwards, and what was even more surprising was that Song Yongzhong, the leader of the frontier army, did not sleep. With the same single knife, he also followed Zheng Sen's example and slashed downwards one after another.

The reef illuminated by a big moon is bright and snowy, and the moon is just a little bit full. This scene under the moonlight looks mysterious and romantic.

Song Qingshu really doesn't know how Zheng Chenggong's martial arts are. After all, there is no record of him personally beheading people, but Song Qingshu is anxious. Zheng Chenggong's most powerful iron man team is wearing heavy armor and holding a long sword in both hands. The knife is still barefoot, and he never retreats in every battle, which is probably derived from his experience of living in the Japanese country.Watching him practice martial arts, Song Qingshu walked up with interest.

"Uncle Song!"

"Big guy!"

"Mr. Song."

The three names came one after another, which is also interesting. Here, Zheng Sen is the most alert. No wonder he is holding a knife, but he was able to slash and kill two people in a hurry just now, and even caught two. Instead, he used fire Little William, who had a gun, had time to leave one behind.

"Why don't you go to bed so late and run out to chop the waves?"

"Oh, Uncle Song, this is a habit Mori developed in the country of Japan. It is said that the swordsman Miyamoto Musashi used to chop waves on the night of the full moon. When his sword can pass through thousands of waves, a piece of water will not touch his body. At that time, the way of swordsmanship will be considered great, although tonight is not the night of the full moon, but in a few days, I am afraid that there will be many battles, and there will be no time."

While Song Qingshu nodded, Zheng Sen paused.

"Also, I heard from the fishermen that this reef can stand up to fourteen at most. At fifteen, the high tide will completely submerge the reef, and it will be impossible to practice swords!"

"There is an old saying in Ming Dynasty, know yourself and know your enemy, you will be victorious in every battle, what is your rival in love doing, let me come and see."

Little William was also a gentleman, he shrugged his shoulders bluntly, but Song Yongzhong was a little nervous, dragging his head down to the end, and whispered back: "The last general wants to practice martial arts with Master Zheng, so that I can repay you better. handsome."

However, Song Qingshu didn't listen to a word of the last two people's words. His eyes were completely attracted by the tide under his feet. When he came in the morning, he remembered that the reef was not five or six meters high, but it had to be three or four meters high. Now But it was submerged to the feet. Although the terrain is low, the tide is terrible enough. A large beach near the sea was submerged, and a 30-meter caravel troop carrier was completely floating on the beach. up.

"Uncle Song?"

"Do not move!"

Seeing Song Qingshu in a daze for a while, Zheng Sen couldn't help but asked, but was stopped by Song Qingshu's gestures, and after looking at the moon for several times, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Zheng Sen. asked hurriedly.

"What's the date today?"

"August [-]th, what's wrong? Uncle Song?"

Zheng Sen and the others looked like they had seen a ghost, but suddenly, Song Qingshu raised his head and laughed loudly like a seizure, and yelled loudly.

"I know! I know how your kid got in!"

"Uncle Song?"

Goose bumps from being laughed at, Zheng Sen couldn't help shaking his hands in front of Song Qingshu's eyes, but he finally came to his senses, finally stopped laughing, but still patted him on the shoulder with a smile on his face .

"Practice hard tonight! After two days, you really don't have time!"

The three of them were puzzled, Song Qingshu strode down the rock, but after looking at each other for a long time, Song Yongzhong suddenly chased him up from behind and called Song Qingshu to a stop.

"Big guy!"

"Oh? What's the matter with Yongzhong?"

"The commander-in-chief, the last general wants to invite, can he be transferred from the frontline army, to the land division or navy division, and it is fine to start from an ordinary soldier!"

Seeing Song Yongzhong's dark and firm face full of apprehension and expectation, Song Qingshu was really stunned...
