Regarding Shi Lang, Zhu Youlang always wanted to recruit him. The former once ordered Wang Fuzhi to secretly investigate, but because he did not contact him, he later left it alone.

According to Zhu Youlang's speculation, since Wang Fuzhi knew that he valued Shi Lang very much, he should have follow-up actions. But Wang Fuzhi has never mentioned this matter again, and it seems that there is no progress.

Unexpectedly, the naval talents he was determined to recruit had met him at sea, and they met in a hostile form - this is a great irony to him.

If Zhu Youlang values ​​Shi Lang, the main thing is to value his military talent.

Shi Lang's ancestral home is Henan, born and raised in Quanzhou, and his long-term life on the beach allowed him to develop a good skill. He is not only good at martial arts, but also good at observing tides and knowing the phenomena of the celestial phenomena.

Don’t underestimate these two things. If you are trying to make a living at sea, you will not know when the tide will rise or fall, or when there will be storms, and sometimes you may face a catastrophe.

For example, if Zhu Youlang encountered a typhoon at sea this time, if Lin Cha had this ability, how could he experience these risks? Obviously, Lin Cha did not have this ability.

With this ability, you can make good use of these natural conditions in naval warfare, which will often bring unexpected effects to the war.

In Zhu Youlang's view, the most powerful maritime generals in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty were undoubtedly Shi Lang. Like Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong and his son, their main ability was to unite people's hearts. If you want to talk about military talents, they may not be better than Shi Lang. Compared with Shi Lang, such as Lin Cha, Zhao Yuelong, and Ye Yunwu, they are probably a scumbag. Of course, loyalty is a different matter.

In addition to outstanding military talents, Shi Lang's shortcomings are also very obvious.

One is that his desire for power is too strong. He has always followed his uncle Shi Fu, but Shi Fu is not in charge of the family. He listens to him in big and small matters. History says that Shi Fu knows that his ability is not as good as his nephew, so he lets go and let his nephew be the leader. In fact, in Zhu Youlang's opinion, it is not that Shi Fu is so noble, but that Shi Lang undermines him. On the one hand, it shows that Shi Fu is too cowardly, and on the other hand, it shows that Shi Lang is too strong and has a strong desire for power.

The second is that he is too stubborn, does not know how to adapt, and does nothing to do things. Zeng De is an old general of the Zheng family. Because he offended him, he went to Zheng Chenggong to complain. Shi Lang knew that Zeng De was Zheng Chenggong's confidant, but not only did he not let him go, but instead caught Zeng De back from Zheng Chenggong and said that he would kill him no matter what. Zheng Chengchi ordered him to release him, but he refused to execute him, and finally killed Zeng De.

This move completely angered Zheng Chenggong. Zheng Chenggong killed his whole family, Shi Lang fled back to the mainland alone, and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty again.

Article 3: Shi Lang does not have a firm position and belief, and often changes his course when facing the greatest danger. This biggest danger is caused by himself, as if he will never have a good relationship with his boss.

He first surrendered to Emperor Longwu from the Zheng family, Li Chengdong destroyed Fujian, and he followed Zheng Zhilong to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Later, he did not have a good relationship with Zheng Zhilong and surrendered to Zheng Chenggong. After Zheng Chenggong killed his whole family, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

From the above historical facts, we can draw a conclusion: Shi Lang can only be a coach, not a general. As a coach, he can kill all directions; as a general, he either puts the coach out of his position or lets him kill him.

Of course, if Shi Lang can surrender, Zhu Youlang will be confident that he can still control him. Knowing that Shi Lang has so many things that he doesn’t know, he can’t control him?

However, now it seems that it is already a dream. It would be good if Shi Lang is not imprisoned now. Don’t think about the good things of surrender.

...

While Zhu Youlang was thinking, Xu Guixiang and Huang Yue had already had a happy conversation with Shi Lang.

"Brother Shi, I have heard of your reputation for a long time, and my brother has long been willing to surrender to my elder brother. Today, my brother has fulfilled his wish. I hope my elder brother will take it in."

Shi Lang is only twenty-six years old, and Xu Gui is more than ten years older than him, but he calls his elder brother with a flattering smile on his face, his posture is low enough and cheap enough.

Huang Yue looked around and couldn't help but feel a little tooth pain: "Even if you surrender, you have to have some backbone, okay? Is it necessary to be so humble?"

But Shi Lang loves this, he is always willing to appear as a winner.

"Hahaha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say. Brother Xu is also a famous figure above the South China Sea. It's a fate to come to surrender today." Shi Lang was called "Big Brother".

"I hope Brother Shi will take care of you in the future."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

"Today, brother blocked the Yongli Dog Emperor, Brother Shi, do you think it's a credit?"

"Brother Xu, Yongli only has one boat. I wonder how many boats you have? How many brothers?"

"Uh, brothers have more than eighty boats and more than eight hundred brothers."

"Oh, so many boats and so many brothers, I can't even take Yongli. Brother Xu, aren't you who are brothers looking down on you? Are you too incompetent?"

Shi Lang did not hide his contempt for Xu Guixiang.

"General Shi, although Yongli only has one ship, it is a big ship with thousands of materials. Moreover, the firepower on the ship is very strong. There is also a weapon called grenade, and any ship that is approaching will be bombed. In this case, we used five fire boats to drag Yongli. If Yongli had not tried his best to stimulate the morale of the guards, we had already taken it. General, if you have learned about the power of grenades, we would not have said that we were incompetent."

Huang Yue was extremely disappointed after hearing the conversation between Shi Lang and Xu Guixiang: "Who is this? It's so ugly to step on people and eat merit. Will I be with these people in the future? No, never!"

After all, I have been in love with Xu Guixiang for so many days, so I couldn't bear to be embarrassed by seeing him, so I choked Shi Lang.

"Who is this?" Shi Lang asked Xu Guixiang.

"Oh, this is Mr. Huang Yue, Huang Rizhang, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel of Longwu Dynasty." Xu Guixiang hurriedly introduced Huang Yue to Shi Lang.

"Oh, I heard. Huang Yue, you are a family and a scholar. Why are you mingling with pirates like Brother Xu? Don't you feel insulted? Oh, I understand. I heard that your father was killed by Yongli, or was it accused of colluding with the enemy? It seems that Yongli is right. If you surrender to me today, isn't it just colluding with the enemy?" Shi Lang said coldly.

His words were like Xiaodaozi, and he shot Huang Yue's most painful part in every sentence.

"You are not allowed to insult my father!" Huang Yue said with a red face and glaring at Shi Lang.

"I was insulted, what's wrong?! Don't you want to live anymore? Believe it or not, I will chop you up and feed you to fish now?" Shi Langniu glared at him and cursed without hesitation.

When Shi Lang's personal soldiers saw this, they pulled out their waist knife and rushed towards Huang Yue.

"Take it slow, slow karma, Brother Shi, Huang Yuexiao, ignorant, you can calm down, and let him go for the sake of his brother's face." Xu Guixiang hurriedly pleaded.

"Face, do you have face?"
