809 Confrontation
On the dock, two pirate ships slowly landed on the dock with a small official ship. Needless to say, countless pirates emerged from somewhere, hugging the dock and watching the high-ranking officials of the court.
For them, the county magistrate is already a rare official, not to mention that the people who are participating in politics and generals who are several levels higher than the county magistrate. It is said that Zheng Yiguan, who was even more powerful than the chief, was just guerrilla after recruiting the amnesty. There were not yet two military generals who came to recruit this time!
Ma San and his group had long forgotten all their business, but because they were at the dock in advance, they had the best viewing position, which allowed the people on the official boat to see clearly.
"See, the official official is really here!" Ma San was the head of their team, and he was the most knowledgeable one. He heard him introduce excitedly, "Look at the official uniform, the one standing at the bow of the ship, must be the highest-ranking political attendant this time! I didn't expect that they really dared to come here in person. Then, the matter of amnesty must be very sure, right?"
If this were not the case, how could the imperial officials come here? Four of them came at once. This kind of thing has never happened before. Even when Zheng Yiguan was recruited before, the specifications were not so high!
When they heard him say this, Scarface and others nodded in agreement. They were all very happy. It was not easy for them to have a good end after becoming pirates!
On the official boat, Fujian Road Political Consultant Hong Yunzheng was also looking at the thief's nest, looking at the countless thieves who were rushing out to watch. Seeing their expressions, he knew that the strategy agreed in advance made everyone know that this move was right. Judging from his past experience, it was unlikely that Xu Xiang would be recruited, but his subordinates were different. They forced him back, at least making Xu Xiang dare not do anything randomly, and he was still sure.
In fact, Hong Yunzheng probably knew that the court actually had no intention of attracting Xu Xiang at all. Because Xu Xiang was different from Zheng Zhilong, he should be considered a vicious person. At least Zheng Zhilong knew how to win people's hearts. Although Zheng Zhilong used to be a pirate, he often helped fishermen, and everyone on the shore praised him and listened to him. Even if he was a hijacking ship, he was just a hijacking cargo, and few people on the ship affected him; but Xu Xiang did not have a good reputation, and even if he attacked ashore, he would burn, kill, and robbery at sea, and even robbery at sea was inevitable.
At this time, the ship had already docked, but the pirates who were escorting them did not allow the people on the official ship to go down, saying that they had to wait for the orders of the boss. Hong Yunzheng didn't care, so he stood at the bow of the ship and suddenly said loudly: "You are thieves, and they are mostly forced by life."
Speaking of this, he stopped slightly. When the pirates on the shore stopped talking to each other when they heard the high-ranking official of the court, they all looked at him curiously. This first opening remark made them very useful.
Seeing this, Hong Yunzheng continued to say loudly: "But now that the emperor has issued an order to open the sea, even fishermen have many ways to live. Sun Zhongcheng is even more sympathetic, giving you a way out and recruiting you. If you are willing to serve the court, you can be an official army, and if you are willing to get rid of the armor and return to the field, you will forgive your sins for the people. The official came with the order, which is enough to prove Sun Zhongcheng's sincerity! Whether to celebrate the New Year happily or meet in the future, it is all in the thought of Xu Dajia."
In fact, to be honest, after Sun Chuanting arrived in Fujian, he used thunder means to kill and catch thieves. He never ruthlessly, nor did he show a trace of compassion. However, it was precisely because of the previous thunder means that the arrival of Hong Yunzheng and other senior officials this time was very conspicuous and could make people cherish it more.
After he finished speaking, the thieves on the shore couldn't help but whisper again. Among them, those who were originally forced to make a living were mostly surprises, and there were not many such people. Among them, many were coastal fishermen.
At this moment, a group of people came to the village. The leader said loudly and disdainfully: "Hmph, you speak better than singing. You must be sincere. Why not bring people here?"
When everyone heard the sound, they realized that they were from the second leader. After seeing this, many people suddenly felt a little cold. If the boss really had the intention to attract peace, the senior officials from the government would definitely come to greet him in person, right?
Someone next to him told the person who came to participate in politics. Seeing this, Hong Yunzheng also had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still kept the same as before and responded loudly: "I and my colleagues come here in person. Is this sincerity not enough? If it weren't for those people, the boss would agree to the negotiation? Besides, as long as the boss can accept the recruitment, those people will be recruited together. What's the difference between coming or not?"
Hearing this, many pirates on the shore nodded, obviously agreeing.
"Yes, if the court is not sincere, how could they come here!"
"We are the boss, but we are not sincere, right?"
“…”
Listening to the surrounding discussions, the second headmaster was annoyed and pointed at Hong Yunzheng and shouted loudly: "Don't lie, our boss said that you are pretending to be comforted, just to delay time and not let us go ashore to grab things. We have no intention of really seeking peace!"
When he heard this, Kang Chengzu and others, who were a little calm, were shocked. Why did these pirates know about the military and political affairs discussed in the governor's lobby? Hong Yunzheng was no exception and was also shocked. However, when he came, he was naturally mentally prepared and did not seem panic. He immediately refuted loudly and said, "Pretend to be pacified? Haha, is this official and his colleagues who are not good at serving as good officials and come to you to die? To be honest, does your Xu Da family want to be recruited? He is really free to be the leader of the pirates alone, but have you ever thought about these subordinates? The court will not always be patient!"
Looking at the senior officials on the official boat, the pirates on the shore were a little suspicious, so they could have really made a mistake, right? But Hong Yunchang's words immediately dispelled their doubts. Kang Chengzu and others' panic was explained by them as they were afraid that Xu Dazhu would not want to be recruited.
When the second in commander saw the faces of these subordinates on the shore, he couldn't help but feel very angry. He was obviously pretending to be pleasing, so why didn't anyone believe it? He knew that he could not say that these officials were, so he ordered loudly, "Don't argue! Come on, take them all as hostages, and let the government put the arrested brothers back to exchange for hostages!"
When Hong Yunzheng heard this, his heart skipped a beat, but at this moment he was not showing any weakness, and immediately said, "You have thought about it. Do you really want to cut off your own way of retreat and bear the thunderous anger of the court?"
