Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

When recruiting people, you must first ensure "safety", and only then can you recruit people.

If the people under Tao Lian's command were not disrupted and allowed to gather together, it would be a matter of time before a rebellion would arise.Tao Lian's group was Japanese pirates. In addition to Chinese people, there were also native Nanyang people and even a small number of wandering warriors from Japan.

They don't understand the language and have different customs and habits from the soldiers of the imperial court. Just think about it and you know how many conflicts there will be.If we don't divide them into different parts, it will not be recruiting peace, but luring wolves into the house.

The imperial court did not want to lure wolves into the house, and Tao Lian and others naturally did not want to be dismantled and eaten clean.Among the people they came to negotiate this time, Shui Sanzi was the "vanguard". If he had any dissatisfaction, he would express it first, and this time was no exception. While he shouted not to do it, he also took the opportunity to step on Qiu Wugang.

When Qiu Wugang saw that he was pointing the finger at him again, he immediately replied rudely: "You don't want to see me, and I don't want to see you. As for you, even if you are assigned to the Shaoxing Guard, you are just a soldier." You're just a little captain of ten, carrying water and doing odd jobs under me, do you really think you can be a general?"

Shui Sanzi exploded when he was excited and glared at him: "Bah! You warrior, who the hell wants to work under your hands? Stop dreaming!"

"What happened to me, a warrior? You are still a pirate and a thief, not even a warrior! Besides, it was me, the warrior, who beat you all to pieces! Did you forget about the sneak attack on our camp in May this year? Three hundred A lot of people came here, but only a dozen or so came back, and rats are not as weak as you!"

As he said that, Qiu Wugang laughed contemptuously.

This laughter sounded particularly harsh to Shui Sanzi, who suddenly became anxious: "How many times have we told you that the sneak attack was not our fault! It was Gao Shishu who wanted to disturb Huang Zhaoan and deliberately attacked your camp. So, then put the blame on us!"

Qiu Wugang took advantage of his height and looked at him condescendingly: "Those Japanese pirates are all wearing the clothes of your Tao family gang, and they are also wearing the emblem of your Tao family gang. I have seen them all with my own eyes. Do you still want to deny them?"

At the negotiation table, there was back and forth. No matter how much the Tao Lian and his gang argued, it was all to gain more benefits for themselves. However, it was not their fault and they did not want to take the blame.

A dark color flashed in Yu Jingming's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "General Qiu, let's not mention anything else, but the sneak attack in May was really not our fault. At that time, the imperial court had already released the recruitment news, and we intended to join, so how could we take the initiative to sneak attack on the camp? So? If it was really us, then we wouldn’t have the shame to sit at this negotiating table.”

"Not necessarily."

The chief envoy Ning Yuan interjected lightly, and then said calmly: "According to the information we have found, on the ninth day of November, that is, a month ago, Gang Leader Tao met with Gao Shishu and had a secret conversation until midnight. What it is is unknown.”

"Since you said that Gao Shishu was responsible for the sneak attack, if you really wanted to join the imperial court, you should be at odds with him. Why can you still sit down and chat calmly?"

As he spoke, Ning Yuan turned to Tao Lian, who had not spoken much, with a deep look: "Gao Shishu originally committed a capital crime in our court and fled overseas in fear of the crime. What is the court's attitude towards the Japanese pirates of the Gao family? What should Gang Leader Tao do?" It is very clear that we can talk to you about recruitment, but we will never talk to high-ranking thieves about recruitment."

"On the ninth day of November, the negotiations are less than a month away. Governor Mei has already agreed with you on the time and place of the negotiations and other important matters. Why is it at this juncture that the Tao gang chief and Gao Shishu, who has always been on the opposite side of the imperial court? What about the meeting? What are you plotting?"

Tao Lian's eyes flashed guiltily, beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, and he squeezed out a dry smile: "... The chief envoy was joking, there is no conspiracy, I have never met Gao Shishu at all. Maybe... it's Your Excellency was deceived by people with malicious intentions and mistakenly believed false news. This is simply a misunderstanding."

Ning Yuan chuckled lightly and said sarcastically: "If Gang Leader Tao talks like this, it would be meaningless. The court's recruitment is out of sincerity, and we treat each other with sincerity, but we don't expect Gang Leader Tao to agree to us first and meet Gao Shishu later. , and you are hiding something from us, is this your sincerity?" Tao Lian looked embarrassed, the sweat on his forehead began to ooze faster, and he was speechless.

The situation was deadlocked for a while.

There was silence for a long time. Seeing that the negotiation was about to break up, Yu Jingming forced himself to break the deadlock: "...What, I think everyone is tired, why don't we take a rest, have a cup of tea, and continue later?"

Only two-quarters of an hour has passed since the beginning of the negotiation. It would be too far-fetched to say that we are tired now.Before, Shui Sanzi was arrogant and provocative, yelling at the negotiation table and saying he was tired, but now he was caught in a shortcoming and said he was tired. Don't be too ironic.

Gu Yunji sneered in his heart and simply followed his words: "I think so, let's all take a rest. Didn't we also prepare a drill? We just took advantage of this break to let our men stretch their muscles. Let’s also change our mood.”

For a long time, the imperial court has been weak in resisting Japanese pirates in the southeast. Some time ago, when Tao Lian and others asked to see the anti-Japanese formations, Mei Feng still resisted. He seemed very hesitant, as if he was afraid of losing face and losing face in the exercise. , the initiative at the negotiation table is gone.

Therefore, in Yu Jingming's view, the imperial court should be very unsure about the exercise, but he did not expect Gu Yunji to be so active and take the initiative to mention the exercise.

As expected, a young man just couldn't hold himself back.

Yu Jingming was secretly happy in his heart, fearing that Gu Yunji would regret it, so he quickly said: "The relationship is good, let's just relax. What do you think of the rest of us?"

To Yu Jingming's surprise, Mei Feng, who had always been calm, also nodded and had no objection to this.

Yu Jingming couldn't help but feel strange, and subconsciously exchanged a look with Shui Sanzi next to him: Most of the officers and soldiers in the imperial court are useless idiots. If they meet Japanese pirates, seven out of ten people will be scared to the point of weakness. This time they are so proactive, Is there some back-up plan?
Shui Sanzi understood the concerns in Yu Jingming's eyes, but he didn't care about these twists and turns. He was frustrated at the negotiation table earlier. Now he couldn't wait to regain the ground. He stood up and acted provocatively. He looked at several people: "I will be the commander of our side this time. Which of you will fight against me?"

Su Qi also stood up and looked at him sharply: "I'll do it."

Shui Sanzi smiled contemptuously: "Little Duke, don't blame me for not reminding you. The people under my hands have been licked with blood by the tip of a knife. Although today is just a drill, no life will be hurt. But there is no guarantee that the people under my hands will not be seriously injured. Don't be injured when the time comes. Holding you."

Su Qiyun was calm and gentle, and his momentum was not weak at all: "It's not certain who will hurt who."

Shui Sanzi's eyes sparkled, and he was instantly aroused with warlike enthusiasm: "Okay, let's give it a try!"

"Send the order, let brothers get ready, let's have a good 'discussion' and 'discussion' with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court!"
