Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 223
Ying Zuo Heisei has never been able to trust Xu Hai, a Han Chinese.He asked: "My 5000 warriors are going to Ningbo, will your [-] men land with us?"

Xu Hai nodded: "Naturally! Brothers in Puluo Island, no matter Dongying people or Han people are one family. Naturally, we have to advance and retreat together."

Kagezuo Heisei nodded: "Yes. Since we are going to land, we need to confirm two things now. One is the location of the landing, and the other is the time of the landing."

Xu Hai talked eloquently: "The Ming army deployed a large number of Franco cannons in Ninghaiwei. Although the Qi family army withdrew, the other Ming troops could still use those artillery pieces. When we landed in Ninghaiwei, we will definitely be attacked by the Ming army. Heavy shelling. It's not a wise choice."

Ying Zuo Pingcheng said: "Our colleagues have repeatedly fought against Qi's army in the Taizhou area over the years. The businessmen in Taizhou have all gone to Hangzhou. There is no money to fish in Taizhou. It is not wise to land in Taizhou."

Xu Haidao: "Well, it makes sense. As for Jiaxing and Rui'an, the tidal flats in these two places are too shallow, which is not conducive for our warships to dock."

Kagezuo Pingcheng said: "In this way, we only have one choice left, and that is Ningbo!"

Xu Hai pretended to be deep in thought, and then said: "Ningbo is indeed a good choice. There are not as many forts there as there are not as many forts in Ninghaiwei. The tidal flats and water are deep, which is suitable for our warships to dock. The most important thing is that there are many wealthy businessmen in Ningbo. The name of Ning Shang is the best in Jiangsu and Zhejiang! Isn't it, Doctor He?"

He Liu quickly answered, "That's right. I've practiced medicine for many years, and Ningbo is the place with the most wealthy merchants. There are too many tea merchants, salt merchants, silk merchants, and sea merchants in Ningbo to count. "

Kagezuo Heisei nodded in agreement: "Okay! That's it, it's decided to land in Ningbo. Next, we need to determine the time of landing."

Xu Haidao: "Since we are going to land to do big business, it is natural to choose an auspicious day. Let me ask for a lottery."

Xu Hai picked up a box from the table in the center of the meeting room.There are ten small conch shells in the box.

He held ten small conch shells in his hand, shaking them left and right, muttering words.

He Liu secretly laughed at the side: I didn't expect Xu Hai, a big pirate, to be able to deceive people like the sorcerer.

How did He Liu know that Xu Hai was just a young man under Wang Zhi, the pirate.The Japanese believe in gods and Buddhas, so Xu Hai gathered many Japanese pirates by his side by pretending to be gods and ghosts, and thus became the leader of the Japanese pirates.

Xu Hai muttered something in his mouth: "Matsu Mazu, Amaterasu God, Buddha, and Taishang Laojun all appear together, pray for auspicious days, and the flag will win!"

Then, he let go of both hands, and with a "clang", ten small conch shells fell to the ground.

Xu Hai said to Ying Zuo Pingcheng: "Looking at the hexagram, it is most suitable for us to land in Ningbo on the [-]th day of the first lunar month!"

Yingzuo Pingcheng counted the time and said: "Well, according to the voyage, we have ten days to prepare supplies, gunpowder, and guns."

Xu Hai said with a smile: "I hope we can return with a full reward for this vote."

On the eighth day of the first lunar month in the 42nd year of Jiajing, Xu Hai, the leader of the Japanese pirates, led [-] Han people, and [-] Japanese people sacrificed flags to the sea.

Before boarding the boat, Xu Hai found his confidant Huzi Li.

He confessed to Huzi Li and said: "We will all dispatch this trip, and you and the two hundred brothers will be left on the island to guard the house. Remember, you must keep an eye on Mr. He. He is worth 100 million taels of silver!"

Bearded Li asked in surprise, "Is this person worth so much money?"

Xu Hai nodded: "When I use Qi Jiguang's hand to destroy Yingzuo Pingcheng, I will use this Mr. He as a meat ticket, and ask Hu Zongxian for 100 million taels of redemption! That Mr. He is the Beizhen Fushi of Jinyiwei. He is the confidant servant of the Ming Emperor. Heh, Hu Zongxian will obediently send the money to us by then!"

Huzi Li said: "Don't worry, the island owner! I will definitely take care of him strictly."

Xu Hai confessed again: "In addition to taking care of Mrs. He, you also need to protect your wife. Take care of her food and daily life. You are the person I trust the most, so please leave everything to me!"

Bearded Li cupped his hands: "I will definitely live up to the trust of the island owner."

Eight thousand Japanese pirates sailed from east to west on ten three-masted warships and more than 50 small boats.

He Liu, the old boatman Zhang Tou, and more than 20 coolies on the lucky boat were detained in four small houses by more than 200 pirates guarding the island.

Old Zhang said: "Master He, don't these pirates treat us like meat tickets?"

He Liu sighed: "What do you think! That guy Xu Hai didn't intend to submit to the court at all. He just wanted to borrow a knife to kill people. Now we are really fish on their chopping board!"

He Liu made the worst plan.It was nothing more than asking Bai Xiaoyan to take out her own private money and redeem him back to Zhejiang.Turning around, he began to worry again, but the money could be taken out.But it can be handed over to Xu Hai, and Xu Hai can use his He family's money to buy supplies in the country of Japan.Isn't this an enemy of Japanese capital?Now Liu Da is in Zhejiang!If Liu Da knew about this, he would definitely threaten himself with it!
This has led to a deadlock: either he, He Liu, will die on Puluo Island.Either Liu Da will take advantage of He Liu, and He Liu will definitely be controlled by Liu Da in the future, life would be worse than death!

He Liu sighed, and he remembered a sentence that Lao Hu often said to him: There is no unparalleled road in the sky.

Indeed, there is no limit to the road!
A person suddenly entered the room and stood in front of He Liu!The person who came was Xu Hai's most trusted person—one of the eight generals of Puluo Island, Beard Li!

When Hu Zili saw He Liu, he cupped his hands and said, "Master Liu, do you still remember me?"

He Liu was surprised and said: "I've always seen you familiar. But I still can't remember that you are..."

Huzi Li fell to his knees and said, "Li Bofeng, the official of the small flag under the inspection of thousands of households by the Fusi of Jinyiwei North Town, pays homage to the sixth master!"

He Liudao: "Inspect the Qianhu Office? Are you Xu Qi's subordinate Xu Fatty?"

Li Bofeng nodded: "Sixth Master! It has been five years since my subordinate was ordered by Xu Qiye to serve as an internal response to the Japanese pirates! In the 37th year of Jiajing, Xu Qiye asked me to pretend to be a Zhedong water bandit and join Xu Hai ! I stayed here on Puluo Island for nearly [-] days and nights!"

He Liuxi is overwhelmed!It's true that there must be a road when a car reaches the mountain, and a boat goes straight to the bridge!Who would have thought that the person Xu Hai trusted the most was actually the internal response that Jin Yiwei sent to him? !

He Liu is a cautious person. He asked again: "You claim to be Fatty Xu's subordinate. Do you have evidence? Could it be that Xu Hai sent you to tell us something?"

Huzi Li said: "Master Liu. You should remember that I was Xu Qiye's personal school lieutenant at the beginning, and I followed him every day. Otherwise, you wouldn't look familiar to me."

He Liudao: "Maybe it's because they look alike. Let me ask you, Fatty Xu has three good things in his life. What are they?"

Huzi Li blurted out: "Qiye's three hobbies are stewed dumplings, pork kidneys, and pig's trotters. In fact, the three hobbies are ultimately the first hobbies, and that is eating!"

He Liu nodded: "It really is you!"

Huzi Li said: "Sixth Master, Xu Hai's return to the court is false, he killed you with a knife, then kidnapped you, and extorted money for ransom is the truth! I have secretly prepared a lucky boat, let's go back to Zhejiang immediately!"

He Liu asked: "Us? Are you going back to Zhejiang too?"

Bearded Li nodded: "I've had enough of being a pirate! Look at me, I'm not a human being, a ghost or a ghost. My father was the chief envoy of Shandong at any rate. I also counted He is a son of an official. Alas, I regret that at the beginning, Xu Qiye said that there was a chance to make great contributions. I was eager to be promoted, and I took the initiative to ask to be with Xu Hai. This is more uncomfortable than being in prison! I have made up my mind, I'll go back to the capital with you! When the time comes, Master Xu Qi wants to kill him, so I'll just listen to him!"
