"No, don't worry, Zhu Pingan will not kill us. After all, we are the first Japanese pirates to take the initiative to bind a Japanese chief to seek refuge. You have heard of the principle of buying horse bones for a thousand gold. As long as he, Zhu Pingan, is smart. He will never kill us. Brother, tell me, is Zhu Pingan a smart person?"
The confidant Japanese pirate said with confidence.
"He is not a smart person. Who else is smart? He is the number one scholar, the smartest person in the world. He is a genuine number one scholar. Do we suffer a small loss from him? Take this time as an example, we I didn’t even meet them, but he gave me a lot of information, and there are only a few people left alive.”
The Japanese pirate said without hesitation, although he and Zhu Ping’an were enemies. He would never dare to underestimate Zhu Ping'an.
To be honest, he has never seen anyone smarter than Zhu Pingan.
Leader Ma Ye is not good enough, and leader Xu Hai is not good enough, otherwise he would have suffered such a big loss at the hands of Zhu Ping'an.
"However, we are Japanese pirates after all. Who has no common people's blood on his hands? Zhu Pingan can spare us. These officials have always claimed to love the people as their children. Zhu Pingan is smart and smart. He can Exception?
The Japanese pirate still has doubts and is worried. Zhu Pingan was worried that they would be beheaded if they failed to join him.
"Don't worry, Zhu Pingan will not kill us. Although our hands are stained with the blood of ordinary people, it is OK not to kill us. Let the common people shed less blood and shed more blood. A smart person will definitely know which is more important. In addition to the reasons I mentioned above, I will give you a few more reasons why he did not kill us. "The confidant Japanese pirate said with determination.
"Come quickly. "The Japanese pirate couldn't wait to urge.
"This is an example. Although our hands are stained with the blood of the common people, you also know the principle of meritorious deeds and atonement for sins."
"That makes sense, continue, continue." The Japanese pirate After hearing this, he nodded and continued urging.
The confidant Japanese pirate god continued: "This is the second example. Let's offer him the Ma Ye leader. Do you know how much the Ma Ye leader has contributed to Zhu Ping'an? Last time under Suzhou City , Zhu Ping'an caught our leader Chen Dong, and made Zhu Ping'an go from the deputy envoy of the Zhejiang Prosecution and Prosecution Department to the right minister of the Ministry of War and the governor of Zhejiang. There are only a handful of feudal officials! Leader Maye is as big as Leader Chen Dong. How big a reward can he get for Zhu Ping'an? But what we gave him is more than reasonable. , can he kill our trusted Japanese pirates?”
“Yes, that makes sense.” The Japanese pirate nodded, thinking that the second example he gave also made sense.
"In this case, we are also of great use to Zhu Ping'an." The confidant Japanese pirate continued.
"Ah? We are of great use to Zhu Ping'an?" The Japanese pirate couldn't help but shook his head after hearing this, "What use can we have? We can also fight a little, but compared with the firearms of the Zhejiang army, they are nothing. , not worth mentioning.”
"Of course we are of great use. As the saying goes, if you know your enemy and your ally, you will never be in danger in a hundred battles. We are the old Japanese who followed Leader Maye, Leader Xu Hai, and Leader Chen Dong to capture Tuolin and establish it as their home base. Every grass and one piece of grass in Tuolin's old nest is of great use to us. We all know the terrain of trees, mountains and rivers very well. After that, we also know very well about the situation of the Tuolin Japanese, the situation of the leader Xu Hai, and their collusion with the real Japanese. These all have a great effect on Zhu Ping'an. Tuolin also made many friends. It is Zhu Pingan who is attacking the Japanese pirates in the forest. We can contact them and act as internal agents to help Zhu Pingan. Even if we live in such various roles for the sake of the overall situation, they will not kill us." The confidant Japanese pirates raised two more names. An example of Zhu Pingan not killing them.
The Japanese pirate couldn't help but nodded after hearing this, but he knew the truth, but he was still worried that Zhu Pingan would kill them if he didn't follow martial ethics.
Seeing the worries of the Japanese pirates, the Japanese pirates who were close to him added fuel to their anger, "Do you know who the original team of the Zhejiang Army was?"
"They were not from Yiwu who he recruited. "The Japanese pirate touched his chin. He really didn't know this. He only knew that Zhu Ping'an went to Yiwu several times to recruit soldiers. Now most of the Zhejiang army is Yiwu soldiers.
"It's not Yiwu soldiers. The original team of the Zhejiang army was a group of bandits, recruited by Zhu Ping'an."
The confidant Japanese pirate said slowly.
"What? The first team of the Zhejiang Army were actually bandits?" The Japanese pirate was shocked and dumbfounded after hearing this.
"Really or not, you won't bluff me, will you?" the Japanese pirate asked in disbelief.
"What am I trying to fool you about? You will know this if you ask around. Do you still remember the last big disaster? We relied on overseas relief to get through it. A group of bandits came down the mountain and wanted to rob. Zhu Ping'an's relief grain turned out to be a trap, and he was recruited by Zhu Ping'an to form the Zhejiang Army," the confidant Japanese pirate said slowly.
"That's it." The Japanese pirate touched his chin.
"You said that bandits robbed homes and there was no blood on their hands. Could it be that ordinary people saw how handsome they were and took the initiative to offer things to them with both hands?! How is it possible? Their hands They have a lot more blood than us. Zhu Ping'an was able to recruit them and use them as his team to form the Zhejiang Army. What do you think? Let’s tie this Ma Ye leader to join Zhu Pingan and give him such a huge contribution. If we are still useful, can he, Zhu Pingan, kill us?”
“He, Zhu Pingan, can recruit the Anshan bandits. Can’t we recruit Japanese pirates? Are bandits more noble than us?”
The confidant Japanese pirates asked two questions in succession.
The Japanese pirate's eyes are getting brighter and brighter. With the example of Zhu Ping'an recruiting bandits, he has confidence in his heart.
When Zhu Pingan recruits mountain bandits, there are two. If he can recruit mountain bandits, he can also recruit Japanese pirates.
Seeing that the Japanese pirates around him were already moved, the confidant Japanese pirates continued:
"Tell me about the number of recruitments in the past dynasties. Have you not heard of the story of the distant water in Liangshan? Have you heard that the emperor of the Song Dynasty recruited a group of heroes from Shuibo Liangshan and gave him a gift? Jin is an official again. Even in the end, Songjiang, the leader of Liangshan, was given a glass of poisonous wine, but who called him the leader of the thieves? How can the court rest assured that the leader of the thieves is not dead? The other Liangshan heroes are good officials. To get rich and enjoy the glory and wealth, the court did not attack them. We are just little Japanese pirates. We are not Japanese chieftains, so we don’t have to worry about the imperial court going back on its word after we are recruited. We are not worthy of it.” Soldiers. Do you know the Guangxi Wolf Soldiers? They were rebels who killed officials in the beginning. , the imperial court sent troops to exterminate them, and after a few battles, they were recruited after seeing that they were able to fight. They are now dignified officers and soldiers, and they are fed by the emperor. There are so many examples, are you still worried? "
The confidant Japanese pirate twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and looked at the Japanese pirate with encouraging eyes.
"That's right, you convinced me. I listen to you. Let's go to Zhu Ping'an and make a fortune." The Japanese pirate gritted his teeth and made up his mind. (End of this chapter)
