I'm a pirate at the end of Ming Dynasty

Lying comfortably on the rocking chair, Zheng Zhiyan specially lit four incense burners in the hut, and three beautiful concubines helped him massage, rocking and shaking comfortably~

Since he occupied the Jiulian Mountains, he has not felt so comfortable for a long time. Although the fourth brother's people are still on the way, even just the news that the fourth brother is coming back can make him relax instantly, not to mention, As soon as the refugees from Ningbo heard that the fourth master would be arriving soon, their hearts calmed down.Zheng Zhiyan grabbed the maid's tender hand with one hand, and even couldn't help but want to do something she didn't dare to write about.

Suddenly, an imprudent boy banged open the door. Zheng Zhiyan was very angry, but before she could get angry, the boy said in a panic: "It's not good, Mr. Liu, it's not good! It's not good outside!" There are officers and soldiers arrayed at the foot of the mountain, they are about to attack!"

When Zheng Zhiyan heard this, she was frightened. Why did such a big thing happen just as the fourth brother was about to come?

"Are you sure they are soldiers of the imperial court? How many people, whose troops, and what are our charges."

"How many people don't know, but those soldiers and horses are... white... white pole army!"

Zheng Zhiyan stood up in fright: "Qin Liangyu's white-pole army? What the hell is she here to join in the fun? Can't we offend her? Hurry, arrange for heavy troops to guard all the passes."

"Yes."

"no!"

Zheng Zhiyan suddenly reacted and immediately ordered: "Inform the brothers to withdraw from the mountains and pass. Immediately, if the white pole army advances, don't stop it, and then immediately call me the leaders of each mountain top for a meeting. Quick, It’s extremely urgent.”

"This is!"

The boy naturally didn't understand the meaning, but since it was Master Six's order, he obeyed it obediently. Zheng Zhiyan herself walked quickly around the table after the boy left, unable to stop at all. Come down.

Since it is a white-pole army, then most likely this is not an act of the court, which means that the Zheng family is not labeled as a rebel. However, because of this, things may be even more troublesome.

The Baigan Army is not an official force of the imperial court. They are essentially chieftain soldiers. They can even be said to be Qin Liangyu's private soldiers. Although Qin Liangyu, a strange woman, is more loyal and patriotic, in general, it is not much different from the Zheng family. Duo is also someone who listens to orders but not announcements. She has to be paid to persuade her to go to war with the court.

Of course, although the Baigan Army costs money to use, it is generally high quality and cheap. I dare not say that in the northwest and northeast, but at least south of the Yangtze River, any army that encounters the Baigan Army will be dead. No exception, Zheng Zhiyan still has this self-awareness. With the mob in his hands, if Qin Liangyu really wants to fight, no matter how dangerous the Jiulian Mountains are, he will not be able to hold on. The Dongjiang Army in the hands of the fourth brother is still there Maybe fight each other.

In this case, he simply put on a show to see what kind of medicine Qin Liangyu was selling in the gourd. After all, she was an official of the imperial court in name only. There was no way this old lady was a mad dog and just beat her up regardless of what happened.

After a while, several mountain bosses arrived, and Zheng Zhiyan asked seriously: "Has any of you ever offended Qin Liangyu? Tell me quickly, after all, that was something you did when you were following the rebels, so we can talk about it. .”

Everyone looked at each other, and Widow White frowned and said: "When we followed Mr. Chen, when we met this white-pole army, they chased us and fought us. We didn't even have any decent counterattack. How could we offend her? Let's talk about this. It’s been more than half a year, he should have come long ago, why did he come today?”

When Zheng Zhiyan thought that this was indeed the case, she sat down in despair and complained: "Sure enough, they are coming for my Zheng family, but my Zheng family has always only been active along the coast, and has never been with her. We haven’t had much contact with each other, so how could we suddenly raise troops to invade?”

Just as I was getting a headache thinking about it, another boy ran in, holding a letter in his hand: "Sixth Master, Sixth Master, that girl Qin Liangyu didn't march. She saw that we had withdrawn the troops at the pass, and she didn't Come in, but order this letter to be delivered.”

"Oh? Give it to me quickly."

Zheng Zhiyan quickly took the letter and read it hastily, but after reading it, she frowned and lowered her head in thought.

"Sixth Master, what did the old lady say?"

"She said that she was here to exterminate the rebels in Jiulian Mountain. After she came here, she discovered that Jiulian Mountain was occupied by us. She asked me if the Zheng family wanted to occupy Jiulian Mountain to rebel. If not, they would immediately Get out, otherwise she will come in."

After a pause, Zheng Zhiyan continued: "She also said that Chen Wan has some treasures belonging to their chieftain, but she didn't say what they were. Since we killed Chen Wan, let us return them to her."

As soon as these words came out, the leaders in the hall started to curse one after another. Do you dare to make it more obvious that this is a rip-off?

It happened half a year ago. You, Qin Liangyu, have strong soldiers and horses. If you really wanted to suppress them, Jiulian Mountain would have been gone. More than half a year ago, it was clear that she had already captured almost everything she should have captured after repelling Chen Wan. This would be the same if she continued to fight. A group of poor people, the price offered by the court was not high, and they were not willing to go through a thankless attack on the mountain, so they used the excuse that the soldiers were exhausted to retreat. Now they came back, they were obviously convinced and came to extort money.

The Zheng family is rich!

The Zheng family is much richer than the imperial court!

While feeling resentful, Black Bear suddenly frowned and said, "Sixth Master, how long did it take for Jiulian Mountain to change hands? We have always been low-key in doing things, and we have never made any publicity at all. Our brothers have hardly been out of the mountain. Then, Qin Liangyu is far away in the southwest, how did he know about the change of ownership of this place so quickly? Is there a traitor in our mountains? "

Zheng Zhiyan rubbed her temples with a headache, and said helplessly: "It may be true, but it doesn't matter now. Now it's clear that Qin Liangyu is here to rip off, and the person who comes is evil. What should we do now? Should we give money or beat him? Beat him. Can you survive the beating? But if you give me money, will my Zheng family be shameless in the future? What if Hong Chengchou comes to knock on me again tomorrow? What if the cats and dogs come over and ask for money the day after tomorrow? Damn it , pirates have to be charged protection fees, what kind of world is this? Fortunately, she is still a heroine, and the fourth brother actually admires her."

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to do for a moment, then they heard Luo Chao say: "Sixth Master, didn't you say that the Fourth Master will be back soon, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers? Let me see, we might as well send someone to follow her first. Let's talk about the price to delay time. When Fourth Master's army arrives in two days, if she still doesn't know what to do, we don't have to be afraid of her."

Zheng Zhiyan nodded and said: "This is a good idea, then I will go down the mountain to talk to her now."

But he saw Luo Chao reaching out to stop him, cupping his fists and saying: "Sixth Master, you are the son of a rich man. You cannot go to dangerous places in person. What if that bitch kidnaps you and threatens Fourth Master? What should I do, Sixth Master, I, Lao Luo Bucai, am willing to make this trip for Mr. Liu."
