Daming pirates

Chapter 53: The Tiller Handle

Dahuang Island is much larger than the Xiaohuang Island where Ma Lian and the others were before. The area of ​​the island is at least ten times larger than that of Xiaohuang Island. It is only about ten nautical miles away from Xiaohuang Island. It should be a very suitable place here.

The island where I lived, but after the early Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates were rampant at sea, and the Ming Dynasty implemented a sea ban policy, so the original residents of the island have moved away, and it has become a desert island again.

From the early Ming Dynasty to the present, according to Liu Laoliu, fishermen have lived on the island intermittently. However, they were either destroyed by pirates or forced to move to the mainland by the government. Over the years, it has been

It became a place where pirates often settled on the sea.

More than ten years ago, Dahuang Island was occupied by a large group of pirates. They built a cottage and a dock and water village on the island. At its peak, there were nearly a thousand pirates. However, later this group of pirates began to harass people in Zhejiang.

At that time, they were ambushed by the army and almost completely wiped out. The pirates on the island also declined. After the Fuzhou Navy sent troops to attack here again, the remaining pirates abandoned it and it became a deserted island again.

This time, after everyone from Xiaohuang Island abandoned Xiaohuang Island, they happened to move to the nearby Big Huang Island as a temporary place to stay, which was quite good.

Just when Yu Xiaotian and others were trying to find a way to go ashore to rescue Erya, Li Gouzi and others were not idle on Dahuang Island. They used the trees on the island to cut down some trees and collected some thatch in the bay.

Several sheds were built on the hillside near Zili to provide temporary shelter from the wind and rain for the people on the island. In addition, they also found three small caves in the nearby mountains, which can also be used to store supplies, and they also found a nearby cave.

They found that the water in the pool was fresh water and could be used by them.

So when Yu Xiaotian brought the boat back this time, the living conditions had been issued here, so at least Yu Xiaotian didn't have to worry about these trivial matters anymore.

Although Li Gouzi is a little timid, he also has his strengths, that is, he is more attentive and diligent. When he was on Xiaohuang Island, he was responsible for taking care of many chores on the island.

, leaving him here to look after the family on Dahuang Island is actually a good choice.

After Yu Xiaotian settled Erya and handed her over to the care of several women, he followed Li Gouzi around the island. He was quite satisfied with the things Li Gouzi led the people to do.

There was a slight movement in my heart, and I felt that Li Gouzi might not be good at other things, but he was a good candidate to be responsible for things like logistics. Moreover, I heard from Ma Lian and the others that Li Gouzi had only read a few books when he was a child, and he was also a good candidate.

I knew a few words and could do some math by writing them down, so I wrote them down secretly.

After everyone settled down, a celebration banquet was held at the temporary station that night. After they came back, they took a careful inventory. This time they brought back a total of more than 760 taels of silver and more than 50 taels of gold from Jiang Baihu's home.

In addition, there were some gold and silver jewelry for women, as well as lampstands, copper basins, incense burners and other bronze utensils. Originally, everyone also brought some silks and fine porcelain, but because they were walking in a hurry on the road, these

The things were bulky and bulky, so a lot of them were discarded.

In addition to these belongings, they also brought back two horses, a mule and two donkeys from Jiang Baihu's home, as well as five women, one of whom was Jiang Baihu's concubine, and the other four were from his family.

The maid, at least gave the bachelors on the island hope of getting a wife.

It's a pity that they were too hasty in the Chiang family. They were in a hurry to leave and did not search carefully. So after thinking about it carefully after returning, they can be sure that the Chiang family will not only have such a collection of less than a thousand taels of silver, but now they regret it.

It was too late to regret it, otherwise, they would probably have been able to extract more real money and bring it back.

But even so, in the past, the people on the island would never have dared to think that one day they would get so much money. So after returning to the island, including the old guys like Ma Lian,

, everyone looked at these obtained things, and they were all extremely happy. They laughed so hard that they couldn't help but wish they could all sleep with these things in their arms.

Now that they had so much money, they were no longer as stingy as before. Following Ma Lian's instructions, they took out all the limited wine and meat on the island, and used the shabby boat near the beach.

A small fishing boat got off the boat, caught some sea fish, and had a celebration banquet on the beach.

While everyone was eating and drinking, they were bragging to those who stayed behind about how they had entered Jiang Baihu's house, how they had killed the servants of Jiang Baihu's house, and how they had searched out the servants.

Fatty Jiang, how did Erya and Yu Xiaotian kill Fatty Jiang in the end... It seemed that each of them had become a hero, but no one said anything about their embarrassment.

Only the few young people who were left behind on the island were so envious that they secretly regretted that they were not chosen to follow Yu Xiaotian to the mainland. Now they can only stare and listen to their boasts.

.

However, this group of people still did not forget the reason why they were able to do something this time, and they did not forget to vividly describe the great power of Yu Xiaotianru they saw.

In short, everyone who participated in this sneak attack on the Jiang family compound praised Xiaotian for his scheming and bravery. Especially the younger generations completely regarded Xiaotian as their boss, and they kept on praising Xiaotian.

stood up and toasted to Yu Xiaotian.

However, Yu Xiaotian did not show much joy after the banquet started. From the moment he got on the boat to this time, his face has never been very good.

Ma Lian held a bowl of rice wine and said respectfully to Xiaotian: "Brother Yu, we have accomplished a great job today. Not only did we rescue Erya, but we also killed that damn Jiang Baihu and got back so much money.

Why are you always depressed? Come on, come on, after drinking this glass of wine, to be honest, I have not admired many people in my life, but today I am convinced by you! If it weren't for you,

This time Man said he was going to rescue Erya and kill Jiang Baihu, but I guess even if we people go, it will be in vain!"

Yu Xiaotian took the wine from Ma Lian, looked at the people around him with a wry smile, and then put down the wine bowl. Ma Lian saw that Yu Xiaotian's expression was not good, so he continued: "Brother Yu, you are so

What are you doing? You have to say that today is a happy event, why are you so unhappy? Is there anything you are unhappy about? Say it and let everyone listen!"

Without waiting for Xiaotian to speak, Liu Laoliu stood up first, clasped his fists and said to everyone present: "Ma Lian, don't rush to ask why Xiaotian is unhappy. I have something to say! And everyone.

Listen! Can you guys listen to what I, Liu Laoliu, have to say?"

Everyone saw that Liu Laoliu had a happy face now and stood up to speak, so they all became quiet and turned their attention to Liu Laoliu.

After Liu Laoliu saw that everyone was quiet, he slowly moved into the circle. He first looked at Yu Xiaotian, then glanced at everyone, and then continued: "You young men! I, Liu,

Speaking of which, Lao Liu can be regarded as someone who has had a few more years of food! Now that things have come to this point, there are some things that I have to say clearly!

This time, you guys helped me, surnamed Liu, to rescue my daughter. I, Liu Laoliu, would like to thank you all. I, Liu Laoliu, can't thank you enough!

But you guys don’t know if you have thought about it. We killed and destroyed Jiang Baihu’s home last night, killed Jiang Baihu, and robbed the Jiang family. Who is this Jiang Baihu? He can be considered an official after all! We

What you are doing is a matter of killing officials and rebelling. If you are caught by the government, you will behead the Nine Clan!"

Having said this, Liu Laoliu paused for a moment. After hearing this, everyone present suddenly became a little stiff. At first, they did it with courage and enthusiasm, but the big guys didn't pay attention.

After thinking about the consequences of this matter, now after listening to Liu Laoliu's words, I thought about what they did. It was really a big deal that made my head fall. I couldn't help but think about it, and I became a little worried and scared.

Liu Laoliu looked at the faces of everyone, so he continued: "So, now we are not just ordinary people like when we were on Xiaohuang Island! To put it bluntly, now we just do this.

From now on, to put it mildly, we will become thieves! To put it nicely, we will go into the sea!

The reason why I, Liu Laoliu, want to say this is to give everyone a warning. Now that the matter has come to this, there is no way out if you want to regret it. You will have to live in this sea from now on!

But making a living on the sea is not just about talking about it! Even if we fall into the trap of being a bandit, we must at least figure it out first, what should we do from now on! Is it to find someone to take refuge with and work for others?

? Or we should just do it ourselves!

No matter what it is, we must have someone who has the final say in the future. Who will take the lead? Who will we listen to from now on? Who will lead us to do things?

If everyone is so confused about this matter, it’s not like I, Liu Laoliu, is making fun of everyone. Even if everyone is so happy right now, it’s just for fun! I’m afraid we won’t be able to enjoy ourselves for a few days.

!

Therefore, taking this opportunity today, I, Liu Laoliu, will talk about this matter! Everyone is also weighing in their hearts, who should be in charge of this company and who can afford it! "

Having said this, Liu Laoliu stopped again and looked around at the people around him.

When everyone heard this, they all put away the smiles on their faces, because what Liu Laoliu said was right, it was indeed a bit too early for them to be happy now. Now that they have committed such a case, they may not be able to clean up their lives from now on.

It's too late.

What they should do in the future was indeed something they had to consider, so everyone immediately started whispering among themselves and discussing the way out for the future.

After a long while, Ma Lian shook his head on behalf of everyone and said: "In my opinion, we have a ship now, why do we need to find someone to join us? Is it possible for us to put this ship, this guy, and our thirty or so heads into service?"

Why don’t others take advantage of others? Let’s just raise the banner and do it ourselves! Who hasn’t been involved in this business since childhood? Why can’t we do it ourselves?”

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, and for a while they told them to just do it themselves. However, after talking for a long time, everyone focused on who should be their helmsman. Generally speaking, everyone's opinions were

My opinion is more inclined towards the two old guys, Ma Lian and Liu Laoliu.

But Ma Lian shook his head like a rattle: "Go, go! Don't ask me to catch a duck on the shelf, I can't handle the helm! I can't handle it with this kind of heart, and I still want to live a few more days.

!I can’t handle this helm!”

Liu Laoliu also shook his head and said with a smile: "Save it for yourself! Stop trying to flatter your uncle Six! This helm is not something your Uncle Six can afford! But I do have a candidate! I just don't know that everyone

Are you willing or not?"

After speaking, Liu Laoliu slowly turned his attention to Yu Xiaotian, who was sitting in the middle, and everyone present also followed him and focused their attention on Yu Xiaotian.

"I think this matter actually doesn't need to be discussed too much. From Liu Laoliu's point of view, among us, only brother Xiaotian can be the helmsman. I wonder if you have any opinions!" Liu Laoliu!

He pointed his finger at Yu Xiaotian and said loudly.

(What a tragedy! I never expected that I would get my anus exploded yesterday! I’m so dizzy! Where are the red tickets? Where are all the red tickets in my brothers’ hands? Hurry and smash them down!)
