Chapter 11 Twilight Drum and Morning Bell (3)

The little horse king was disturbed by the mood. While helping Liu Qingren up, he shouted: "Boatman, what's going on?" Zhu Zhi and several others rushed to the window, and saw a similar pleasure boat hitting the starboard side of the boat. The boatman hurried into the house to accompany everyone, and explained this way. At this time, the wind and rain stopped, the little horse king rushed out with the pleasure of wine and scolded the boat opposite: "Well, what bird man has no eyes, it ruined my elegant pleasure."

Zhu Zhi was afraid that he would drink to sing the wind, so he hurriedly said to everyone: "Hurry, stop him, this guy is going to storm." The few people were about to walk on the front deck, but they heard a reply from the boat over there: "What bird man blocked your uncle's way." Why did the voice sound familiar?

When several people got on the deck, Zhu Zhi saw someone coming out of the cabin opposite, and his voice was like a big bell: "Who scolded me just now, I'm afraid of life!" He didn't see the other person clearly in the drizzle, but he just felt that the voice was very familiar.

The little horse king retorted: "It's you who don't want to die. I believe it or not, I'll kill you." As he said that, he lifted his sword and jumped over. Zhu Zhi wanted to stop him but he tried to stop him. As soon as the little horse king got on the boat, the two of them scolded him even more fiercely and were about to start. Zhu Zhi was helpless and ordered the boatman to use a hook to catch the other party's boat and jumped over.

As soon as he stood firm on the ground, the little Majestic and the other party had already started to have sex. My goodness is so good. Zhu Zhi was not afraid that the little Majestic and the king would suffer losses. There were indeed not many people in the capital who could beat him. He was even more afraid that this kid would hurt the other party by drinking, but it would be bad. The Censor will not pursue the cause with you, but he will only ask you a prostitute and act wildly. Zhu Zhi hurriedly shouted: "Little Majestic and King, stop me."

Seeing that Zhu Zhi had come and stopped talking, Xiao Ma Wang sold a flaw and jumped out of the circle, but he kept saying: "If it weren't for the young master's words, I'll let you go to the lake to feed the turtle."

The other party was about to answer with a knife when he saw Zhu Zhi at first sight. Zhu Zhi also saw his appearance clearly. Everyone was almost surprised and said, "Why are you?"

What Zhu Zhi saw at first glance was nothing but Salini, the mysterious person he met in Ma City. How could this pirate appear here?

Seeing that he was an acquaintance, Salini quickly bowed and said hello: "Why is Mr. Tang? I'm so respectful."

Zhu Zhi hurriedly said, "It turns out it's Lao Sa, why did you meet you here? It's really a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple. This is my subordinate. If you offend me, please forgive me. The little horse king won't apologize to others." The little horse king cheered up and bowed.

Salini said: "It's not hard, it's not hard, it's all my own people. This brother, Lao Sa has offended him." Zhu Zhi introduced to both sides, and Salini and his subordinates greeted each other one by one. As everyone was talking, another person came out of the cabin. It was Chen Zixing. Zhu Zhi hurriedly bowed: "I didn't expect that Mr. Chen was also on the boat." Chen Zixing also came up to say hello when he saw that it was Zhu Zhi.

Although the rain was much lighter outside, it was still raining. Salini called out: "Since we are all friends, why don't you go to my boat to continue drinking."

Zhu Zhi thought about it, but he did not refuse. Salini also wanted to invite everyone. Zhu Zhi said, "It's not a big deal, it's getting late, they have to go back." He took out a bag of silver and ordered Xiao Mawang and others to hand it over to the boatman and Liu Qingren of his pleasure boat, so that the generals would take the boat back. Seeing this, the generals knew that Zhu Zhi didn't want to reveal his identity, and he didn't answer and bowed back to the boat.

He sent all the generals away and crawled into Salini's cabin. Zhu Zhi sat down carelessly, and Xiao Chenzi stood behind. Salini quickly ordered the boatman to change the banquet again and said to Zhu Zhi: "Hehe, I didn't expect to meet Mr. Tang here. Long time no see, how are you doing well?"

Zhu Zhi said: "It's okay, it's okay, but it's not going well. As for you two, it's been nearly two months since we left Ma City. Do you still go to sea?"

Salini said in a difficult face: "I'm asking for something, we are not worried about this."

Zhu Zhi said: "Oh, you two have any worries and I won't just say it. Let's see if I can help."

Chen Zixing said, "Hehe, come on, drink with Mr. Tang, let's not talk about that for now." As he said that, he raised his glass, and Zhu Zhi and Salini also raised their glasses together.

Seeing that Chen Zixing was still covering up, Zhu Zhi did not hide it after the cup was over, so he said straight to the point: "You two are too unfavorable to treat your friends. I still don't know what you two do."

Salini's face was a little uncomfortable. She was about to speak, but was stopped by Chen Zixing and said, "Young Master Tang, didn't you tell me what you did?"

Zhu Zhi laughed and said, "I was in a hurry last time and felt that I had a great time with the two of you, but I had never had the opportunity to reveal my identity. Since Mr. Chen said this, there is no need to hide anything. I will not change my name or surname, but I am the case with Zhu Zhi, the King of Liao of the Ming Dynasty."

Salini stared at Zhu Zhi with a startled eyes: "You, are you Zhu Zhi, known as the 'King of Righteousness'? He is the one who sent three sages alone; he was beaten in the hall and wanted to plead for Fu Youde; he singlely pacified the Liao King Zhu Zhi, who suppressed Lan Yu's rebellion."

Zhu Zhi smiled slightly and said, "It's this king, why, doesn't it look like it?"

Salini laughed and said, "Like, of course, like, no one dared to bid with you that day, and this father-in-law is still following him. Lao Sa thought you must be a prince and nobleman, but he didn't expect that he would be the famous Liao King Zhu Zhi."

Zhu Zhi said: "How about it, Chen Shixing, the eldest son of the Haiying Gang, and your East China Sea Shark Sa Tongtian, are you willing to make friends with me?" Xiao Chenzi stood behind and smiled without saying a word. These materials were presented to Zhu Zhi himself.

Salini changed color and said, "You, how do you know about this?" Chen Shixing remained silent.

Zhu Zhi said, "Forget it, as for how I know, don't ask."

Chen Shixing smiled and said, "Since Your Highness knows our identities, I won't hide it. How about it, would you please take us to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice for merit?"

Zhu Zhi said: "Young Master Chen said this, so he doesn't regard Zhu Zhi as a friend. I didn't expect that people from all over the world would also judge a gentleman in this way. Since that's the case, Zhu Zhi said goodbye." As he said that, he pretended to be angry and got up and wanted to leave.

Salini quickly got up and stopped Zhu Zhi and said, "Your Highness, look, Shi Xing has such a cautious personality. If you leave, you really won't regard you as a friend."

Zhu Zhi didn't want to leave, so he borrowed a step and sat down, saying, "I am a person who loves to make friends. Are you called pirates? What's wrong with pirates? As long as you care about the country, you are a hero. I know that your grandfather was a hero back then. Who in the world knew that Chen Liujin took 300 brothers to intercept 30 ships of food and grass for the Tartars. The leader of the Chen gang cut off the head of thirteen Tartars with a ghost-headed knife and transported them directly to Yingtian Mansion to help his father. The father has always been obsessed with the old leader Chen and has mentioned it to me. Zhu Zhi also admired the old leader very much."

Chen Shixing poured a glass of wine and bowed, "Your Highness is above, so many people are offended. If you can get your Highness so praise, you can also comfort your grandfather's spirit in heaven." Chen Shixing said something, and his eyes were already a little red.

Zhu Zhi knew what he was thinking, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and poured another cup and said, "Young Master Chen, to be honest, I, the Zhu family, are sorry for you. The old leader of the Chen family was kind to my father back then, but the father believed Liu Ji's slander and beat the island owner of the East China Sea. The old leader of the Chen family was sick later. The old leader of the Chen family was in a heavy mood whenever he thought about this, and he felt sorry for the old leader of the Chen family. I would respect the old leader on behalf of my father." As he said that, he poured the wine on the deck.

It turned out that when the unification of the world, Liu Ji came up with an idea. Chen Liujin came forward to invite the island owners of the East China Sea to Taizhou to discuss the recruitment. Who knew that this was a trap. Zhu Yuanzhang caught all these men in the world, but only let Chen Liujin go a long way to live. But Chen Liujin felt very sorry for these island owners. He never got sick since then and died within two years. So Chen Shixing had no good feelings for the Zhu family.

At this time, Zhu Zhi spoke with deep affection and was not easy to get angry on his face, so he had to drink the wine in the glass, but his face had already eased a lot.

Salini also heard about the grudges between the two families. When he became a peacemaker, he said, "Okay, so many years have passed. Since we can drink together today, we are all friends." He also drank a glass on his own.

Salini was a famous loner in the East China Sea. Born in Venice, he followed his father when he was a child. At the age of ten, he was captured by Arab pirates and became a horse-raising slave for a chief, so he knew Dashima. Five years later, Salini tried to escape from the chief and came to China with a merchant ship. At first, he followed a pirate, and at the age of twenty, he became the most trusted person of the pirate. Later, the pirate married his only daughter to him, and he inherited the pirate's family business and also had the Chinese name Satongtian.

Although Salini only has three boats under her command, she was generous and righteous, liked gold and once slaughtered sharks in the sea with bare hands. Therefore, people in the East China Sea gave them the nickname "Golden Shark". Salini has three hobbies, namely boats, horses, and gold, so she is nicknamed "Sa Sanzang".

Zhu Zhi said: "I wonder what the troublesome thing Brother Sa said just now?"

Salini said: "To be honest, I, Lao Sa, still have some connections on the sea surface, and there are people to take care of me everywhere. But recently, the Japanese pirates have become more and more fierce. Last month, a ship of cargo I sent to Goryeo was intercepted by the Japanese pirates and injured several of my brothers. So, I am discussing with Brother Chen to see if there is any way to get it back." Salini is not strong enough and wants to help the Chen family come forward.

When Zhu Zhi heard this, he thought to himself that there was a door and said, "The Japanese pirates are the Japanese pirates again. Humph, isn't anyone taking care of them for the East China Sea?"

Salini said: "It turns out that everyone in the East China Sea will give face. If you really want it, you will leave two or three percent of the goods and let it go. Who knew that these Japanese people would not give face at all. If you don't avenge, you will not be a human being."

Zhu Zhi asked Chen Shixing, "I wonder if the Chen family is willing to help Lao Sa come forward?"

Chen Shixing said apologetically: "Oh, the Japanese pirates have become very powerful in the past two years and have almost controlled the East China Sea. Since the beginning of Hongwu, our Chen family has shifted its focus to Malacca in the South China Sea. Moreover, his father had an agreement with the Japanese pirate leader Ichiro Eijing, and he could not intervene in the waters north of Liuke. Therefore, he could not help his requests to the Sa brothers. Brother Sa is really sorry."

Salini's face was obviously a little disappointed, and took a sip of wine and said, "This is nothing, brothers don't need to apologize. If it really doesn't work, Old Sarah will just fight for the Japanese pirates alone. Isn't it just a life?"

When Zhu Zhi heard something in it, he said, "A mere ship of cargo, can Brother Sa fight to the death?"

Salini said: "I, Lao Sa, like to drink and play with horses. I have no scheming and will not grow the team. I have been relying on people in the world for so many years to give me some face. Now that the Japanese pirates do not follow the rules of the world, Lao Sa's face has fallen out, so why should I rest on others? There are only two ways now, either you can fight to the Japanese pirates for life or death, or you can pull my broken boats back to the big food."

Zhu Zhi said: "What if there is a third way, will Brother Sa want to give it a try?"

Salini said: "What is this third path? Please give me some advice."

Zhu Zhi said: "A few days ago, I received a report from Liaodong, saying that the Japanese pirates invaded me, Liaodong and destroyed my land and captured my people. Liaodong is the place where I am governed by my king, and it is insured that such invasion is invincible. In recent years, Japanese pirates have repeatedly invaded the Ming Dynasty's seashore, and the coastal people are suffering. However, the country of the Ming Dynasty has only shortened its legs on the sea, so they can only let the Japanese pirates grow bigger. In order not to make some sea residents accompanies some Japanese, they can only issue an order to "not go into the sea". This is all the fault of the lack of a sea defense fleet, and it is a shame for our Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Zhi was not talented and had the ambition to plead for the people to quell the Japanese pirates. The day before yesterday, he had reported his father to his father and obtained the support of his elders. The Japanese king was not in vassal of Liaodong, and would build ships and train the navy. Zhi secretly swears that he would not fight the Japanese pirates for at least three years or five years. He would not fight the Japanese pirates. However, there is currently a lack of a person who understands naval battles and is good at controlling the navy. Zhi begged the Sa brothers to consider it and go to Liaodong with the king to build the navy together to complete the great cause of pacifying the Japanese for the imperial court. I don’t know what the Sa brothers meant."

Zhu Zhi's heartfelt words sounded a little moved. This was actually Zhu Zhi's reunion. However, although his power was weak, it was at least an independent word in the world. If he was dependent on the court, he could no longer be so happy, so Salini was in a dilemma for a while.

Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, Zhu Zhi said, "Brother Sa is worried that the court will take the opportunity to eat your team in the name of reunion?"

Zhu Zhi said this to his heart. How could the court believe everything? Just like Zhu Yuanzhang said he was kind to recruit, but when the East China Sea pirates gathered, they were actually packed with dumplings. Salini said: "Well, Lao Sa didn't have much power, but there were still hundreds of brothers who followed Lao Sa to have dinner..."

Zhu Zhi took over the topic and said, "Brother Sa, if you are willing to follow me to Liaodong, then the position of Liaodong Naval Admiral will be yours, and your men will not move. Brother Sa, please think about it carefully. Are you and your subordinates willing to wander on the sea all your life and go on a stubborn journey? And isn't Brother Sa wanting to seek revenge on the Japanese pirates? Now only I have this ability to help you, and our two goals are the same."

Salini hesitated for a while and said, "This is a big deal after all, and Your Highness will allow Lao Sa to think carefully."

Seeing that he was already moved, Zhu Zhi stopped pressing, and just said, "Okay, Brother Sa might as well think about it. By the way, I recently found several drawings of ships from the Ministry of War, but I don't understand them very well. I wonder if you two can go and take a look and explain them to me?"

Salini is a man who loves boats as much as his life. When he heard Zhu Zhi say that there were drawings of the boats, he seemed very interested and wanted to go immediately. Zhu Zhi asked Chen Shixing if he was willing to go with him. Chen Shixing politely refused. Zhu Zhi knew the knot in his heart and was not convenient to force it. After the three of them drank a few more drinks, Chen Shixing wanted to say goodbye and leave.

Zhu Zhi said to him: "Brother Chen, the grievances of the previous generation should not be brought to you and me. I don't know when we will meet again today. If you need me in the future, I will not refuse!" After that, Chen Shixing got off the ship and left. Salini ordered the ship's house to return. As soon as he arrived on the shore, the two of them got off the ship and headed to the royal palace.

When he arrived at the mansion, Zhu Zhi took out his improved broad ship and lucky ship drawings. Who is Salini? He has been wandering on the sea for half his life and is a great expert in sea ships. The forecastle on the ship in front of him, combined with the stern tower, increases the stability of the ship's navigation in the sea and can withstand strong winds. The mast is higher than that of ordinary sea ships, and the spinnade that has appeared in the West is installed on the usual sails. This is not unfamiliar with Saliniko from Venice.

. Moreover, the sprite on the bow of the ship is actually a typical Western sailing ship. Salini opened his eyes wide and looked at the drawings modified from the Guang and Fu Ship, and couldn't believe that this was actually from the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty. He danced and sang, sometimes he was happy and sometimes frowned, and was completely immersed in this new sea ship. Zhu Zhi looked at him with a smile, thinking, with this epoch-making sailboat, you have to get on my pirate ship.

Salini noticed that there were several small doors on the side of the ship, and he asked, "What are these small doors for?"

Zhu Zhi said: "Arson will be placed on both sides of the ship. Open these small doors and stick out the muzzle to bombard the enemy ship."

Salini widened his eyes and murmured, "Hurry, if such a ship is put on the sails, it will be quite fast; and this cannon, if this cannon is installed, those bastards, Japanese pirates, will not rush up, I will knock him down from a mile. OK, that's really good..."

Seeing that he was completely immersed in the drawings, Zhu Zhi beat the drum next to him and said, "Brother Sa, are you willing to build such a ship with me to Liaodong, and then sweep the Japanese pirates and take revenge?"

Salini said, "I am willing, so willing. With such a ship, many Japanese pirates are not enough to get stuck in their teeth." He took the drawing and suddenly turned his head and knelt down on one knee at Zhu Zhi, saying, "From today, Salini will serve His Highness the King of Liao. In the wind and rain, only the leader of the King of Liao will follow. Please allow your permission." He said, picking up Zhu Zhi's hand and gently kissing the jade ring on his hand.

Zhu Zhi knew that this was the way Westerners expressed allegiance. He also followed the posture he had seen in the movie and pressed his hand on Salini's shoulder: "I hope you will become the strongest knight on the Ming Dynasty's sea, and let the blood of the Japanese pirates achieve your glory."
