choke element

When Wang Erbai boasted, the two boats were close together.

The difference between the load specifications of the two ships is more than double, and when the height of the ship's side is counted, it is more than three feet higher than the deck here.

Wang Ziqing has been active in Quanzhou for many years, and his subordinates have taken in many deserters from the Song Dynasty's navy, and are familiar with the methods of fighting at sea in the Song Dynasty.Seeing their leader being crushed by two ships, their flesh and blood turned into pieces and thrown into the sea, they were all terrified.But relying on being condescending, I still feel that I can struggle a bit, so the movements of my hands are completely non-stop.

There was only a burst of "bang bang" noises. It was a musket gun fired with thick bamboo poles filled with gunpowder and ignited.Thick smoke billowed from the deck of the ship, which was the thunderbolt that relied on the explosion of gunpowder to release poisonous smoke and throw lime.

The sailors under Wang Erbai either leaped vertically, or pulled the sails to borrow their strength, and were rushing towards the opposite ship. Three or four of them were pushed back on the spot, injured and fell off the deck.

One person was shot in the chest and abdomen by a musket gun, and the front of Zhajia was sprayed with iron sand like an undulating human face covered with pockmarks. The huge impact made him vomit blood.

The place where he landed was close to the hatch behind the ship, the hatch was suddenly pushed open, and Chen Langzhong rushed out through the thick smoke, shouting repeatedly: "Don't move! Don't move! I can save you!"

Shouting, he carefully dragged the wounded into the lower cabin.

Wang Erbai took two deep breaths, and listened to the battle sounds from the side of the ship above.Although there was the roar of the waves beating against the planks of the ship, and the creaking sound of the hulls squeezing each other, he could still hear clearly that the battle was concentrated in front of the ship and had not yet spread to the rear.

He stood up and tried to jump to the opposite boat, but his thigh was seriously injured and he was missing a muscle, so he couldn't exert normal strength anyway.

This can't trouble Wang Erbai.In the two months since he joined Dinghai, he was Zhao Bin's Alixi.Zhao Bin's left hand was replaced by an iron hook, and Wang Erbai also wore an iron hook to imitate his superior's prestige.At this moment, he took out the iron hook from his waist, threw it to the opposite side, grabbed the hemp rope tied to the iron hook with both hands, and crawled over.

As soon as he stepped on the opposite deck, several people climbed up behind him. They turned out to be the merchants who had been traveling with the ship for a while.

Several people had simple knives, daggers, iron rods, and fire hooks in their hands, and they danced chaotically.

The merchant who had previously inquired about the ship's doctor's salary was full of impatience and said loudly to Wang Erbai: "Wang Shipou, you have to die if you want. If you want to win, let's win too!"

After saying this, several people looked at Wang Erbai hopefully, waiting for Wang Erbai to lead them to kill.

How can the merchants who dare to travel thousands of miles alone have fuel-efficient lamps?Among the ten people, eight or nine have practiced martial arts and have the ability to fight to save their lives.They were originally hiding under the deck, worrying about the future, but they suddenly found that Wang Erbai was so fierce, and they were immediately tempted.

Businessmen know the truth of seeking wealth and insurance.At this time, he helped Wang Erbai, even if he followed him and shouted and cheered, he still said something after returning to Qingyuan Mansion.It is impossible to get the gratitude of Zhou Keshan, a senior official. With the skills and background of that senior official, a little leak through the fingers is enough for ordinary people to eat for several lifetimes!

Just thinking about it, Wang Erbai stepped aside.

He said confidently: "Great, you idlers should go first. At this time, if you die, you will die first."

These words are true, but also really ugly.

It's more than ugly... This motherfucker is not human!

I've heard that Wang Chuan has a mental illness, and from time to time he opens his mouth to make others mad, so it's true!
The merchants were all furious.

However, among the remaining members of Wang Ziqing's group, someone turned around and noticed this group of people, screaming wildly and swiping their swords to kill them.The merchants had no choice but to use their martial arts to fight with him.

half a month later.

Qingyuan Mansion, Lanshan Island.

This place was the headquarters of Shanghai Bank in the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhou Keshan spent half of the past year here. His main task was not only to undertake the business cooperation negotiated by Li Yun, but also to participate in the construction of the bank's headquarters.

Things were not on the right track earlier, every time Zhou Keshan arrived, he lived in the restaurant in Li'aofang.But that's not a long-term solution. There are dragons and snakes around the restaurant, and there are too many eyes and mouths. It is not suitable for the key figures of the Zhou Dynasty and the Song Dynasty to discuss world affairs and express their concern for the country and the people.

So half a year ago, Zhedong Tiju Zhang Liangpeng thought of a way.

One day, he went to the famous Buddhist temple Bao'an Yuan on Lanshan Island to pay obeisance and offer incense. He told the abbot of the temple that there was a big benefactor who was extremely devout in Buddhism and wanted to quadruple Bao'an Yuan's land. 98 acres, 170 acres of mountains, expanded to [-] acres of farmland, all fertile farmland, plus ten acres of beautiful mountainous land.

There is only one small condition, that is, please move.

Bao Bao Yuan was built more than 200 years ago and is very famous in the local area.Moreover, after sailors on a long voyage landed, they rarely had to eat, drink, go whoring, gamble, worship Buddha and fulfill their wishes, so the incense was also very popular.

The host was reluctant to move at first, but Zhang Liangpeng said that the big benefactor was very pious, and soon he raised the offer to the 5000 mu of fertile land on Dinghai Island, which is Daishan Island.This item alone is converted into more than [-] guan.

The host fainted on the spot. Has he ever encountered the benefits of such a big bet in this life?

After all, it was for the promotion of Buddhism, so I had no choice but to agree, and moved with my disciples and grandchildren the next month.

The temple properties and buildings left behind by the Security Court were then massively rebuilt under the supervision of Zhang Liangpeng and Zhou Keshan.The initial scale was established within two or three months, and it really deserves to be the center of the maritime financial resources turnover in the Great Song Dynasty.

This is a big event in Shanghai.When they heard that the renovation was completed, a large number of merchants and dental shops sent representatives to celebrate with precious gifts.Unexpectedly, in the next two months, the atmosphere on Lanshan Island turned out to be a bit strict, and the two high-ranking officials Zhang Liangpeng and Zhou Keshan did not see any guests.

In the afternoon of that day, on the east side of the Second Hall of the Security Court, there was a side hall dedicated to discussing secrets.

There is a huge map of the sea area on the wall, and Zhou Keshan went back and forth twice to the map of the sea area.He quickly stood still, and in front of him was the harbor on Liuqiu Island with the turbid stream rushing into the sea.

He picked up the pen and drew a circle outside the harbor.

After drawing the circle, he turned around, threw the brush casually, and threw it at Zhang Liangpeng's feet.

"This is the No.16 shipwreck in two months!"

Zhou Keshan sneered again and again: "Don't tell me about the storm on the sea. What exactly is the storm on the sea like? You and I are not amateurs. There is no need to come up with those stupid words to scare people. Besides, the people we send out in Shanghai are always experienced people." , Expert, use a big ship, a good ship! How safe the goods should be, and what kind of protection should be provided for the personnel; both you and I have publicly patted our chests!"

After speaking, he gasped for breath and almost cursed.

After finally suppressing his emotions, he returned to his seat, drank two cups of tea, calmed his breath:

"Sixteen shipwrecks sank 21 ships; you and I combined, more than 500 heads, bows, and sailors disappeared at sea, and there were no bones left; supplies worth millions were gone! This news can be released Did you go out? Such a thing, my Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Right Prime Minister of your Great Song Dynasty can accept it? Once these two get angry... I dare not say anything else, someone in this room must lose his head and die The dead will be wiped out!"

There were only two people sitting in this room, Zhou Keshan and Zhang Liangpeng.

Zhang Liangpeng smiled wryly: "I heard that the shipwreck did not sink."

"That's right! There was no shipwreck this time, only a few people died. The rest of the fleet drove the ship back to Qingyuan Mansion and brought back the details of the shipwreck. What happened during that time, Zhang Tiju, you want to hear Shall I tell you?"
