Late Ming sea owl

Chapter 314 Good Man
"Put it in the frying pan!"

"Drag the keel!"

"Tied to an anchor and dried in the sun!"

"That's too slow. Just cut open the belly and take out the heart in front of the statue of Guan Yu!"

As soon as Li Meiyu finished speaking, his trusted leaders immediately started to make a noise. Most of these people did not trust the officers and soldiers, and would never surrender unless they were forced into a desperate situation. Now they at least had the option of abandoning the ship and going ashore.

But the leaders of the Pearl River Estuary faction, such as Hu Han, had other ideas. Many of them knew Shibi, and Liu Xiang and Li Zhongguo had surrendered to Lin Hai one after another, and there was no news that they had been beheaded to seek credit for the imperial court. In this case, why couldn't they consider recruiting them?

Li Meiyu killed the envoy right away, which was obviously an attempt to ruin the peace. However, he brought up the ethics of the underworld, and no one could refute him for a while.

Huang San was frightened to death when he heard the louder and louder shouts of killing. However, he still remembered what Lin Hai said before leaving. He immediately stiffened his neck and trembled and shouted, "Mr. Li, what do you know about this? Grandfather abandoned the dark and joined the light. You are so frank. Why don't you kill the two slaves with three surnames beside you?"

Ma and Xu blushed when they heard this, but Li Meiyu didn't want to waste any more words. He just wanted to cut the Gordian knot: "Come here, bring this traitor Huang San to Guan Erye and chop him into pieces."

When Huang San heard about being cut into pieces, his crotch was immediately wet. He had only one thought in his mind at this time, that is, he must not lose the treatment of his son as a martyr's orphan...

"Li Meiyu, you bastard, your father Li Kuiqi is an old turtle. He first betrayed the old ship owner, then betrayed Zheng Zhilong and fled early. This time he fled again at the mouth of the Pearl River. You still have the nerve to scold me, why don't you scold your father, that old turtle..."

When Huang San was taken away, he kept cursing and he directly changed the target of his insults from Ma and Xu to Li Meiyu and his adoptive father. Moreover, what he said was basically true. It was indeed somewhat shameful that Li Kuiqi deserted the battlefield twice.

Li Meiyu was young and hot-tempered after all, and he immediately felt embarrassed when he heard this. He shouted, "Wait a minute, this guy has insulted me too much, I want to kill him myself."

Huang San wanted to provoke Li Meiyu to kill him, but when he was brought back, he shouted, "Kill me if you want. I am not a hero if I frown! I will wait for you on the road to the underworld to see how you die after the defeat. And your father, the old turtle, will fall into Lord Lin's hands sooner or later. I want to see who dies the most miserably."

Li Meiyu wanted to humiliate Huang San: "Your crotch is wet, stop trying to be a hero!"

"I just had to pee!" Huang San just wanted to die quickly, and continued to mock, "To tell you the truth, I am now Lord Lin's favorite general! If you are a man, you can kill me right now, and see how Lord Lin will deal with you, a jerk, and your father, that cowardly old turtle, in the future..."

Li Meiyu was furious when he heard this. He was about to kill Huang San with a knife, but unexpectedly, Chen Wu, who had been untied, flashed in front of him and said, "Mr. Li, you don't dare to go out to fight, but only dare to show off your power here. What kind of hero are you? I, Chen Wu, am also here to persuade you to surrender. You might as well kill me too!"

Chen Wu saved Huang San's life. As soon as he finished speaking, the leaders of the Pearl River Estuary faction started to make noises: "Third leader, Brother Chen Wu is a good man. I don't accept it if you want to kill him!" "I don't accept it either. Brother Chen Wu was defeated and captured. It was because you leaders used your troops improperly and fell into an ambush by the soldiers."

"That's right. Brother Chen Wu followed the military orders and pursued them relentlessly, but he ended up falling into the hands of the corrupt officials. Now he is being executed? Then what crime should the leader who escaped back in the middle of the journey be punished for?"

"We don't accept it. We don't accept it..." The leaders rushed forward to protect Chen Wu.

With everyone cheering together, Li Meiyu did not dare to offend everyone, after all, many of his direct troops were still far away on the periphery.

At this time, Ma Xuansheng saw that his leaders were about to rebel, so he had to step in to smooth things over: "Third Master, there is a saying that goes 'When two armies are at war, envoys should not be killed. Although Huang San is a hateful fellow, he is an envoy after all. Let's first listen to what he and Brother Chen Wu have to say."

Li Meiyu suppressed her anger, stared at Huang San and said, "If you have something to say, say it now. If you have to fart, fart now."

Huang San then started to act arrogantly: "Untie grandpa first." As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Han cut the hemp rope on Huang San with a knife.

Li Meiyu glared at Hu Han with hatred. He heard him untying Huang San's rope while asking Chen Wu, "Fifth brother, Chief Huang said he was Lord Lin's favorite general, but was he lying?"

Chen Wu immediately replied: "I don't know whether he loves the general or not, but I heard Lord Lin call him Deputy Director Huang. I asked someone about it, and the deputy director is one level higher than the sentry commander under Lord Lin."

The first half of this sentence is true, but the second half is false. Chen Wu never asked what a deputy director is, but some battalions of the Ming army have this organization, and the chief of the bureau is called Baizong, who is the superior of the sentry chief.

Most of the pirates had heard about the Ming army's organization, so Chen Wu's words immediately caused a sensation. Even if he was a deputy captain, he must at least be a centurion. So, Huang San was actually a sixth-rank official now?
The hemp rope on Huang San's body had been untied. He bowed to everyone and said, "Brothers, Lord Lin sent me here this time mainly to bring a message to everyone. In the past, you worked for Li Kuiqi, and the two families fought against each other because they served different masters. Now Li Kuiqi has abandoned all the brothers and fled for his life. Lord Lin does not want to embarrass everyone, and those who are willing to surrender will be treated with courtesy..."

"Do you think we are three-year-old children? Instead of believing what the official says, it is better to believe that the water chickens in the Pearl River Estuary are all chaste and heroic women." Ma Xuansheng interrupted Huang San.

"That's right. None of the officials are good people. Many of you brothers have been forced to live without any chance because of the corrupt officials, so you have to flee to the sea to become bandits." Li Meiyu's trusted leader also echoed.

Huang San said loudly: "My Lord Lin is different from other officials. He was born in the sea, just like you and me, so he still has the moral code. Nowadays, the only son of the old ship owner, Mr. Li, is also with us and is the third in command. Old Liu Xiang has joined my Lord Lin and has retained a semi-independent position. As the saying goes, he only obeys orders but not announcements..."

"Boss Li is now the same as Boss Liu. Boss Lin only distributes food but not salary. He does not interfere in the affairs of the gang. He only asks the gang members to join him in the battle when needed. Boss Lin also said that if you are willing to surrender, those who are willing to surrender to Boss Liu can surrender to Boss Liu, and those who are willing to surrender to Boss Li can surrender to Boss Li. It's up to you all."
