Major Kato's madness made him a laughing stock on the Shirley ship. Two times in a row, he was tricked by me, which caused Kato's prestige on the ship to plummet. Re Jingdong and Daomoto-I secretly instigated him, and Kato's several right-hand assistants left his camp and threw themselves into the arms of others.

The loss of 30,000 to 40,000 taels of silver bills was lost, and the grandmaster of the crit was thundered. Three majors were organized, and almost overturned the entire ship. Everyone had to take off their clothes and verify their true colors. They had to tossed all day, without any clues. Of course, with my ability, it was not difficult to hide some silver bills on such a large ship.

Japanese pirates are a very strange group with thinking logic that ordinary people cannot understand. This does not trust each other and guards against each other. These people burn, kill and loot along the coast, treat human lives like grass, and have almost no loyalty or credibility.

The Japanese pirates led Wang Heng to their leadership in name only. If it was in line with their interests, they would certainly be determined without hesitation, but if it went against their interests, they would not obey the orders of their mother. So after the old man in gray-clothed clothes named Xie Donglai made a big sum of money to Zhongzuo, the Tianlang turned the bow of the ship and began to sail towards Hengjiang Port.

When Kato met me, his eyes showed a vicious look. The Japanese pirates did not prohibit private fighting and murder. Both Ronghua and Fugui reminded me to be careful so as not to find Kato's Taoer.

These two people are with me all day long and are quite loyal. First, they have not adapted to this Japanese pirate culture where those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish. Second, we are all on the same group of pirate ships. Instead of believing in those demons who kill without blinking, it is better to come together to know the truth.

These two people, Fugui, seem to be more honest and honest. They only know how to work hard on their work. Ronghua is more reckless and talk a lot. On this day, the three of them cleaned the seaweed and shellfish under the boat. These things caused great damage to the hull, and the Japanese pirates lacked special maintenance personnel. Therefore, this kind of dirty work was so tiring that we newcomers could do.

I asked them how they were going to be Japanese pirates. Ronghua said that in the past two years, Japanese pirates have been rampant in the south of the Yangtze River, and countless people were killed or injured. We thought that the coffin shop was easy to trade, so we opened a family together. Unexpectedly, after two years, we lost all our capital.

Why? I asked.

Ronghua sighed and said that bandits had been like combs, soldiers were like combs, and Japanese pirates were like locusts. Wherever they went, no grass was growing. Last year, more than 300 people were slaughtered by more than a dozen Japanese pirates. We were lucky and escaped. The people were panicked, and the rich fled to the inner six. Who would buy coffins? They were usually piled together and buried with lime.

I was frightened when I heard that the Japanese pirates were rampant before, but I had no idea. After hearing that the two of Ronghua and Fugui saw it with their own eyes, they knew that the poison of the Japanese pirates was already in danger.

I asked, "Where is the imperial court? The Ministry of War sends troops to pursue and suppress the war every year? And the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, isn't it also supervising the battle himself?"

Ronghua pointed to the people on the ship. Do you think that the mobs on this ship can be rampant in the Jiangnan area? That's wrong. These people are just some introductions. There are two kinds of people who are really planning behind them. One is the one who is willing to be a lackey, collude with Japanese pirates, and even provide information to Japanese pirates, and the other is some famous families in Jiangnan.

After he said that, I could roughly understand the real reason for the Japanese pirates' rebellion: land annexation. (Note)

Jiangnan is known as the hometown of fish and rice. The soil is fertile and is a piece of fat in the eyes of some famous families. However, these lands are owned by farmers. If we only use usury and clever methods, it will be too slow. So some Jiangnan tribes began to collude with Japanese pirates, directly causing a large amount of land to be desolate, and then naturally take the land for themselves.

I can think of this kind of thing, and the court naturally would not be unaware of it. Since the Jingyuan period of the Ming Dynasty, the economic downward trend has been obvious, and the court's finances are facing tremendous pressure.

In response, Zhu Runze encouraged planting mulberry and hemp in Jiangnan, and reopened the Maritime Service, which was closed during the Zhu Wuneng period, to transport tea, silk, etc. to the outside, opening the door to convenience. However, the Maritime Service was just two years after it was established, Japanese pirates began to rampant in the East China Sea. At the beginning, Japanese pirates were just robbed at sea, and later, they entered the inner world directly.

This time Zhu Runze went south to Jiangnan, which is probably related to the rampant Japanese pirates.

I looked at the two of them carefully. They looked ordinary, but they were not as timid as ordinary people in their eyes, but occasionally showed a sense of spirit. I asked tentatively, they were probably not arrested for being Japanese pirates.

Glory is stunned, wealth is also wary. What do you mean?

I said that the two of them looked ordinary and were low-key, but after a few days, I saw them standing and walking, very self-disciplined. If you guessed correctly, you should be people in the ranks.

Ronghua and Fugui changed their eyes. Fugui shook his head and said, Brother Su, your words will bring you a life-threatening disaster. After getting along these days, you have principles in life and are unwilling to be with others. Our brothers appreciate you very much. Moreover, you have given me medicine to save your life. We should not hide it from you, but this matter is of great importance and concerns the safety of the court. If you can agree, you will never mention what happened today. We can protect your life. Otherwise, for the sake of the court and the Ming Dynasty, we can only kill you.

Hearing this, I was sure that they were actually from the military.

Since that's the case, I will tell the truth that Su Youzai, the captain of the Jinling Six Sectsmen Jianghu Department. This time I came to the boat to avoid enemies from the rivers and lakes. While on the boat, although the two brothers were low-key, I also knew that they were not ordinary people. They were just worried that there would be ears in the walls and never dared to ask questions.

Ronghua was also full of excitement. His surname was Zhang and Yuanjing. This person was Zhao Zili. We were scouts under General Yu Dayou. This time we sneaked into the Tianlang and came on order.

I thought to myself, no wonder the two of them are so low-key. I said, "The two brothers are very disgusted with the Japanese pirates and their entourage. If there is any use, just say it straight."

Zhang Yuanjing and Zhao Zili discussed it and said, Brother Su, we are on the Tianlang this time, for a account book on this ship, which records the collusion and transactions between Japanese pirates and mainland traitors in recent years. Another thing is to follow the trends of the Tianlang. General Yu has made arrangements and is ready to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

This is the highest secret of the court. According to military rules, this matter is revealed to you, and you will be beheaded. However, we have weighed the pros and cons, and told Brother Su that we saw that Brother Su is very skilled in martial arts and chivalrous, so we asked Brother Su to help.

I said, don’t put a high hat on me. I am the chief constable appointed by the court. You are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Our military and civilians are one family. If you have trouble, I will definitely help.

Zhang Yuanjing said that the account book was hidden in Zhong Zuo's room, but theft of silver bills a few days ago had already made him more vigilant. If he wanted to do it, it would be difficult. The wise man we came with was murdered by those thieves before boarding the boat.

I knew he was talking about the man who was killed before boarding the boat in Yangkou Town, and felt regretful. However, since he agreed to help them, he laughed and said, "You are going to steal things, it's right to find me, but this matter needs to be discussed for a long time."

Zhang Yuanjing asked, what are your opinions?

I said I have a few idioms here, namely, to wake up the snake, to hit the east and west, to throw stones and ask for directions, to put the roots of old trees, and to sit on lotus...

So the three of them discussed and decided to steal the account book.

I said that in a few days, the Tianlang will dock at Hengjiang Port. Then, let alone the account book, even the creeper will be arrested together.

Zhang Yuanjing and Zhao Zili were shocked when they heard this. What?

I will give a brief introduction when I went to steal the pill a few days ago. Xie Donglai and Mr. Tubba eavesdropped on the incident and told them about it. Zhang Yuanjing and Tan Zili said with a serious expression, "I want to notify General Yu of this matter as soon as possible."

I asked what's going on?

Zhang Yuanjing said, before leaving, we received a notice that on the fifth day of the fifth month, His Majesty the Emperor will visit Hengjiang Port in person to inspect the Ming Navy!

My heart sank and realized the seriousness of the situation. This is to cause trouble.

The unknown Xie Donglai, the Japanese pirates who were rampant in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the major Jiangsu and Zhejiang families who colluded with foreign races, Wang Heng and Xu Kaishan, Feng Wanli, Wulin Alliance, Netherworld Sect, Dakong Temple, and Jiuhua Mountain. Some were for the grudges of the world, some were fighting for the treasures of the world, and some were for the vague news of the former emperor Zhu Wuneng. They all came to Jiangnan intentionally or unintentionally. Is this just a coincidence?

I vaguely felt that things were not good, but my mind was in a mess and I couldn't figure it out. At this time, the stern of the boat was cleaned up, and at lunch time, someone hung us up.

Lunch consists of brown rice and some dead fish and shrimp marinated with sea salt. It was difficult to swallow at first, but after a few days, I became accustomed to it. Hygiene is an extremely luxurious thing to live on this kind of boat. I wash my face with sea water every day, and after drying, my face is a little astringent.

We received the food and came to a secluded place in the outer cabin. While eating, we whispered to discuss the account book. At this moment, Major Kato came over with a dozen thugs, two of whom guarded the door and looked around, while the rest surrounded us in the middle.

As the saying goes, one's mistakes lead to wisdom. This kid fell into two mistakes in a row. It is said that he should not be so rude. He thought in his mind whether to teach them a lesson again, and the true energy was released. I sensed someone watching us on the third floor.

This man is the most powerful person on this ship. This man has the fifth martial arts ronin, which is equivalent to the top grades of Zhixuan. At least he has the highest martial arts skills on this ship.

I realized that Kato's actions this time were most likely instructed by Nakasa. As soon as the three of us arrived on the boat, his silver notes were stolen, and it was difficult for us to doubt it.

Zhang Yuanjing and Zhao Zili looked at each other and wrote two words on the ground with chopsticks, without fighting.

Note: The reason I came up with in the Japanese pirates' rebellion was that land annexation was just a one-man statement, purely a story, and no actual textual research.

In addition, help with the wedding tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, stop updating for one day.
