Chapter 161 Conspiracy 2
"Why is this? Why can he do it, but I, Chu, can't?" Chu Cai didn't think about it for a moment and asked Ma Xiang directly.
Ma Xiang looked at a middle-aged man in a scribe's shirt next to him and smiled, "You might as well let Master Zhou explain this to the master!"
At this time, in addition to two beautiful young women kneeling on the ground to serve Chu Cai's old man, there is also a scribe dressed in a scribe's shirt and three rays of short beads sitting aside, listening to the conversation between Chu Cailao and Ma Xiang.
This man, surnamed Zhou, is a teacher under old Chu Cai. He can be said to be a full-time staff officer of old Chu Cai. Naturally, such a figure is indispensable for such a big plate. He and Ma Xiang in the old group of Chu Cai are relatively high and highly valued by Mr. Chu Cai.
And Ma Xiang was very knowledgeable and did not grab Master Zhou's job. When Chu Cai asked him why, he gave up his words to Master Zhou.
And Master Zhou smiled and showed a rather profound look. After coughing and nodded with satisfaction to Ma Xiang, he said to Mr. Chu Cai and said, "Master, this is actually simple! Yu can do it, but the big master may not be able to do it! The reason is that the sea wolf gang surnamed Yu is very different from ours, and the sea wolf gang did not buy shares!
To put it bluntly, they are all subordinates of the sea wolf gang, all of whom are subordinates surnamed Yu! All of their boats, including them, were ordered by the surname Yu!
In the sea wolf gang, one person has the final say, and there is no such thing as dividing their income!
But we are different. We are owned by large and small shopkeepers. Although these shopkeepers are at your disposal, they usually act separately.
If the big man wants to collect the money to buy the road after the name Yu, how should the money collected be divided? And once the money is collected, can the passing ships still be robbed? If it can't be robbed, what should these shopkeepers and their men do?
Is it possible that they don't have to do anything in the future and wait to share the money? In that case, who would like to raise so many men? I'm afraid it won't be long before these shopkeepers will get rid of their hands!
So this can be done by Yu, but I'm afraid you can't do it if you are a big shopkeeper! Once it is done, not only will it not make money, but I'm afraid that the shopkeeper below will make trouble first!"
As soon as Master Zhou said it, Mr. Chu Cai immediately understood the truth. According to what he said, he really can't imitate the method of buying road money. Otherwise, if he just divides the stolen goods, I'm afraid his men will break his head first. At that time, he, the big shopkeeper, will not be a big shopkeeper.
So Chu Cailao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "That's reasonable! So, I really can't learn about collecting money to buy roads! Ha ha!
So Master Zhou and Ma Xiang, how should we deal with this surname Yu this time?
Ma Xiang looked at Master Zhou, hugged Master Zhou, and asked Master Zhou to speak. So the guy surnamed Zhou stood up and stood up. He also learned from Mr. Chu Cai to walk back and forth in the account twice. He turned around and said to Mr. Chu Cai, "It is definitely not the best strategy to go out to Nanri Island to find the sea wolf. !
Nowadays, we know very little about the strength of Yu, but we know that there is such a ghost ship in Yu's hand! Although I have never seen that kind of ghost ship, my subordinate drew a sketch of the ghost ship according to the brothers who have seen that kind of ghost ship!"
With that, Master Zhou turned around to get a piece of paper, asked someone to carry a table and spread the paper on the table. Mr. Chu Cai and Ma Xiang both walked to the table and looked at the picture on the table.
Not to mention, this Zhou really has two brushes, and he really has a certain painting skills. He roughly outlines the shape of a ship that looks a little like a sloop with a brush. Roughly * the characteristics of this ship are drawn, but there is still a big deviation on the whole.
As a big shopkeeper, old Chu Cai will not personally take the boat to hijack the ship, so he has no chance to see this kind of ghost ship.
Nowadays, although he has heard a lot of descriptions about the shape of the ghost ship, he does not quite understand what this ghost ship looks like.
Now when Master Zhou took out this picture, he could see the general appearance of this ghost ship more intuitively, so he immediately lowered his head and began to look at this picture carefully.
"Look, this ship is roughly drawn by my subordinates according to the following brothers!
This kind of boat is narrow and long, so it will definitely run faster, and they make it soft sails, which is quite similar to those fast ships used by the Thai people!
And except for a stern, the hull of this kind of ship is straight and the bow is very pointed. The strange thing is that they only have a mast, but they can hang two sails back and forth, which has never been seen on other Thai fast ships before!
But it can be seen that this kind of ghost ship must run very fast. It is said that once the wind is small at sea, the stern of the ship can also put down three large rowings, and it can still sail by man, which is a bit like a double-canopy boat and a smaller wide boat!
In addition, according to the brothers who have fought with these ghost ships below, this kind of ghost ship is loaded with a lot of cannons. These cannons are far away, and they are very accurate and powerful. When our ship meets them, it is very disadvantageous to fight with them. Often before they get close to the past, they are unable to fight.
It is said that some people have seen the cannons on their ship, which are very similar to the small Hongyi cannon. If so, I'm afraid it's not easy!
At present, we don't know where the sea wolf got these Hongyi cannons. At present, although some gunfields in Guangdong can also imitate the Hongyi cannons of the French man, these are all orders from the government, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get them.
So my subordinates suspect that the sea wolf may have got these cannons from the Taixi people, but they can't know whether they got these Hongyi cannons from the Francois or from the Ganlath people or the Lan people!
What my subordinates are most worried about now is whether there are many Hongyi cannons like them. If there are many Hongyi cannons like them, then things will be very troublesome! I'm afraid that the guns on our ship will suffer a lot if they bombard them! ......โ
Master Zhou shook his head and pretended to be very pros, commented on the performance of this dhow sailboat, and guessed the source of the sea wolf's cannon, and said a lot.
Chu Cailao nodded while listening, and his eyebrows gradually twisted. His mood obviously became bad, and unconsciously stopped playing with Hetian Yuqi in his hand.
"Yes, Master Zhou! According to what I can see below, this kind of ghost ship is not a common type of ship in Daming. We are also aware of the ships built by Fujian Liangguang along the coast of Daming, including Zhejiang and Nanzhili.
It is nothing more than some lucky boats, sand boats, bird boats, wide boats, etc., but I have never seen a place to build such a boat type, and the sails used in this kind of boat and the hull shape are quite similar to the ships used by the Taisi people, but they are different!
As far as I know, our Ming shipmakers will not build such a boat type. As you said just now, I thought that maybe these ghost boats were also bought from the Taixi people surnamed Yu. It is estimated that even the Hongyi cannons on the ship were probably bought with the ship!
The Taixi people made a lot of their own business by boat. Although they traded with me in Daming, they rarely heard that they would sell boats easily, at most they would sell some cannons and firecrackers. How did this Thai people get on the Taixi people to sell boats to him?
After Master Zhou finished speaking, Ma Xiang, who didn't speak just now, couldn't help saying.
Master Zhou also frowned and shook his head and said, "There is no way to know this!" But Brother Ma said that these ghost boats were bought from the Thai people, which is very likely. As for who sold them, it is difficult for us to find out!"
Mr. Chu Cai frowned and turned away from the table, walked around the tent again, frowned and said, "The most difficult thing now is that we can't know how many such ghost boats are in this hand. These boats are really difficult to deal with, but the rest are easy to say!
In addition, at present, we don't know how many Hongyi cannons are in Yu's hands. If they don't have many Hongyi cannons, it's okay. After all, this thing is not impossible, and we don't have them. It's just that I only have seven cannons in my hand at present. If there are too many of them, we will kill them like this. I guess it will be a big loss!"
"Master, we can't be too anxious about this matter. Since we have the intention to deal with the surname Yu, we must know ourselves and know the other party to win the battle!
From the perspective of subordinates, we can first inquire about the strength of the surname Yu, and it will not be too late to determine it after figuring out his strength. If the strength of the surname Yu is limited, then the leader can gather the hands of the shopkeepers and directly kill Nanri Island and kill the surname Yu in one fell swoop.
But if the surname Yu is too strong, you have to plan otherwise!
I have an idea. Now that all kinds of rumors have pointed to the surname Yu, I guess that the surname Yu can't be relied on. Let's send someone to him first and ask him why he did this!
The big head can make him compensate for our losses. If the surname Yu's strength is not good, it is estimated that he will be soft. At that time, we can make him lose money and then clean it up.
But if the person wants to back the debt or refuses to accept the soft, we can also explore his reality by the way and then say it's not too late!" The master surnamed Zhou saw that Chu Cai was hesitant, so he shook his head to give advice to Chu Cai.
After listening to this, Mr. Chu Cai nodded and said, "Master Zhou's statement is reasonable. It's so feasible, but it's safer to do so!" We can't rush the crowd to trouble him now, but we can talk to him first and ask him to give me an explanation!
In addition, recently, we have to find more ways to inquire about the strength of the sea wolf. It is best to find out how many boats and how many people he has at present. The most important thing is to find a way to find out how many ghost boats and Hongyi cannons are in his hand. After figuring out these things, it will be too late! ......โ
(Tragedy! I didn't get a monthly ticket yesterday! I'm dizzy! But I would like to thank you for the reward of the three brothers: a wolf, the eagle, and the winter solstice 1979! Dare to ask, which brother still has a monthly ticket in his hand? Thank you very much! Stay!)
