Godly Fisherman

"How do you know?" Yang Meng asked the liquor drunk back.

The bartender next to him smiled: "Two guests, don’t be nervous. This Mr. Steven is very happy today. He would ask such a thing when he sees a white-skinned person of the yellow race. Oh, don’t get me wrong, he is really not an alcoholic, why? Well, he is a frequent visitor here, a historian. It doesn't look like that, right?"

Why is this so awkward? Yellow people with whiter skin? Well, that's right. Indonesians are all black, but do historians have this image? Did you graduate from Pheasant University? .

Hearing Yang Meng confessed, Steven was even more happy: "I finally found Huaxia! Do you know? Do you know? This time our discovery will shock Huaxia!" It seems that Steven was drinking a bit. Many, the speech is a bit incoherent.

Xiao Peng frowned and looked at Steven. Steven looked at Xiao Peng’s expression. He laughed and patted Xiao Peng’s shoulder: "EASY, EASY, I am not hostile. I am not drinking too much now. Know what I'm talking about." After speaking, Steven looked around, lowered his own volume, and said to Xiao Peng: "Huaxia, I have found the treasures of Zheng Shishi. Wait for me to bring them back. , It depends on how I shocked the world!"

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Peng was a little dazed, there is nothing more troublesome than communicating with a drunk.

Seeing that Xiao Peng didn't understand, Steven shook his body and shouted directly: "I said I found the whereabouts of Zheng Shi's treasure! Hahahaha..."

Steven’s volume was too loud. Everyone noticed what was happening here. At this time, two white men walked over and directly supported Steven, and apologized to Xiao Peng, "Excuse me, Steven is drunk. Excuse me."

Xiao Peng waved his hand: "It's okay. I can see that he is really happy. He is asking us to share his happiness. We won't mind. You take him away. Let him rest. No matter how happy you are to drink, drinking so much alcohol is not good for your health!"

"Wow, you Chinese people are really good people. Thank you for your concern, we will take him back to rest! I wish you a good time!" After a white man said these words to Xiao Peng, he and another person supported Stie Wen left the'Nightingale' bar.

Seeing Steven being taken away, Xiao Peng whispered to Yang Meng: "Okay, let's drink less. Let's leave early tomorrow morning. This time there will be fun. Hey, it's really "nothing Find a place, it won't take any effort'! God is taking care of us!"

"What does it mean?"

"Hey, you will know tomorrow!"

In the early morning of the next day, the two set sail directly away from the port, but Xiao Peng did not go far, but wandered around the port.

"What the **** is the Zheng Shishi that I mentioned yesterday?" Yang Meng couldn't help but asked. No matter what he asked last night, Xiao Peng always told him ‘I’ll talk tomorrow’, but Yang Meng was so impatient!

Xiao Peng handed him a cigarette, motioned him to refresh, and answered his question: "Mengzi, have you seen "Pirates of the Caribbean"? Do you remember the Mrs. Qing inside?"

Yang Meng took the cigarette and said, "You mentioned that one of the nine pirate kings with a monkey butt-like face? The only woman inside?"

"Yes, it's her" Xiao Peng nodded.

Yang Meng frowned: "Isn't that a character made up by Disney?"

"Uh, you can also say yes, you can also say no. Many people think that the prototype of Mrs. Qing is our great pirate Zheng Shi during the Qing Dynasty. Oh, you may not be familiar with Zheng Shi, then Zhang Baozi You should always know, right? Zheng Shi is Zhang Baozi's stepmother and wife." Xiao Peng said.

Yang Meng laughed after hearing this: "I have heard this name Zhang Baozi, and it was made into a TV series, but the relationship is quite messy, and it is not shown on TV."

Xiao Peng gave Yang Meng a white look: "On the TV? On the TV, Zhang Baozi is still a ‘righteous bandit’. Have you ever seen a righteous bandit who can go to someone else’s ancestral grave and use a corpse to corrupt money?"

Yang Meng came interested: "Tell me quickly, what is going on."

"This question is a long story..." Xiao Peng also lit a cigarette.

"It's okay, let's come out so early, nothing else, just have time. You speak slowly."

Xiao Peng laughed and said, "In fact, if you want to talk about Zheng Shishi, you still have to start with Zheng Yi."

"Zheng Yi? Who is this?" Yang Meng asked curiously.

"You are stupid, you know that it is Zheng Shi's husband when you hear this surname! Well, to put it bluntly this three-generation black dog blood love history."

Yang Meng smiled and said, "Don't go around in circles, I'm ready for the melon seeds peanut beer bench, let's talk."

"Actually, Zheng Yi and Shi Yang, also known as the Zheng Shi clan, are actually descendants of gangsters. Zheng Yi and his grandfather are the leaders of the Red Flag Gang in the Six Color Banner of the Pearl River Estuary in the Qing Dynasty, and Shi Yang's family is also The pirate family, but Shi Yang didn't have that good luck, so he sold it directly to the JI Yard and became the lowest-level prostitution." Xiao Peng said.

"The legend says that Shi Yang looks pretty dark, but he looks pretty good. Once Zheng Yi saw Shi Yang, he took her back and became Mrs. Zheng Shi. The pirate world at that time was Zheng Yi’s. The strongest, with nearly a thousand ships! Zheng Yi is also a wizard, and he also knows that he unites pirates to form a pirate alliance. He becomes the leader himself and has his own shipyard! At that time, Zheng Yi was domineering at sea. Receipt of ship protection fees, what high ocean ship, China Merchants, what to grab what to come."

"And Shi Yang also feels that being a pirate is more promising than being JI's girlfriend. He has no hesitation in embarking on the road of crime, earnestly doing Zheng Yi's good internal help, from the beginning to the end the big and small things of the participating gangs. But helplessness, in In the third year of the pirate alliance, Zheng Yi fell into the sea in a typhoon and died on the side of Vietnam. The pirate alliance instantly lost its leader. Oh, by the way, the prototype of Fa Ge in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", It should be Zheng Yi!"

Hearing this, Yang Meng asked, "When Zheng is dead, Shi Yang has come on stage? This woman has taken over such a high position and can still stand up. This Zheng Shi clan does have one.

Xiao Peng nodded: "After Zheng Yi's death, Zheng Yi's wife, Shi Yang, took over the Red Flag Gang. She also knew that it was difficult for her to be a female gang, so she set strict rules for the gang after taking office. Because of the clear rules and strict punishments, Let the loose tens of thousands of pirates lead a well-regulated and illegal life. They only rob merchants and foreign ships. They also double the money for the common people’s things when they go ashore. It seems like a meticulous, well-organized, and thriving large-scale maritime robbery entrepreneurial group. Seen by the local people as a good example of robbing the rich and helping the poor, tut tut tut."

"My sister-in-law is fine!" Yang Meng sighed.

"She is really good. She does everything to make money. Under her leadership, the Red Flag Gang has grown stronger. In its heyday, the Red Flag Gang had more than 800 large ships, more than 1,000 small boats, and helped more than 100,000! It was equivalent to Southeast Asia at that time. The largest country! Its scale was also the largest in the world at that time, and the famous Vikings could not keep up with her own Red Flag Gang." Xiao Peng continued. "I suspect that Zheng Shi's pirates went back. The piracy regulations she made were strictly enforced. Violators were severely punished. They were proper entrepreneurs. In the era when Zheng Yisao was rampant at sea, let's not say how many ships were robbed. At that time, the number of Qing dynasty official ships sunk alone reached 63, while the British official ships and the Portuguese East India Company could only honestly pay her protection fees at that time."

"What happened to that Baozi?" Yang Meng asked.

Xiao Peng smiled: "As for Zhang Baozai, he was originally a fisherman. When he was fifteen years old, he was caught on the boat by the Red Flag gang. Zheng saw that he was a talented person, so he made him a prostitute, adopted him as a son, and became Zheng. The male favorite of a couple, the record at the time said, "Zhang is young and beautiful, Zheng Yizhi". This is the meaning of "Chongxin".

Yang Meng was stunned after hearing this: "This Zheng Yi tastes quite heavy."

Xiao Peng shrugged: "On the pirate ship at that time, there were no women on the land all day long. Such things were normal. After Zheng Yi died, Zhang Baozi hugged Zheng Yisao’s thigh. The two were named mother and son. For husband and wife. That is, the number one and number two of the Red Flag Gang."

"Since the red flag gang is so arrogant, why didn't the imperial court send soldiers to destroy them?" Yang Meng asked curiously.

"Who said they couldn't kill them?" Xiao Peng replied: "At that time, the entire South China Sea was under the control of Zheng Shishi. It was a nightmare for the entire Western merchant ship! In the end, the Qing government couldn't bear it, and directly united with the British navy and the Portuguese navy to encircle and suppress them. The Red Flag Gang, as a result, Zheng Yisao was even more powerful and personally led people to resist the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces. At the same time, they sent people to surprise Guangzhou to kill Lin Guoliang, the chief soldier of Humen, and razed the Pearl River Mouth official fort to the ground! On the other hand, Zhang Baozi's fleet was razed. Tracing the river straight into the Pearl River Delta, looting while fighting, refugees flee in groups in the direction of Guangzhou, while the pirates have two heads tied together with a whip on their necks chasing them wildly behind the refugees. In this way, the united fleet He had to retreat, but when he was retreating, he was surrounded by the main force of the Red Flag gang that had been ambushing. Zheng Shi calculated the wind direction and tide, assembled more than 300 large ships and more than 1,500 artillery pieces, which completely defeated the Three Kingdoms. Allied forces! No one dared to trouble Zheng Shi anymore."

Yang Meng asked: "Then what happened to the Zheng Shi family? Are they dead?"

Xiao Peng smiled and said: "I was recruited. In fact, this also talks about another person, called Guo Podai. This is the boss of the Black Flag Gang. When the Red Flag Gang was surrounded by people, Zheng Shi asked Guo Podai. , Asked him to send troops to help, but Guo Podai felt that we were both competitors, why should we help you? In the end, Zheng Shishi won a big victory. Guo Podai was afraid that Zheng Shishi would retaliate against him, so she simply took After proceeding, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Zhang Bailing, please come down, and finally made a "supervisor", that is, a seven-rank official. Zheng Yisao saw that it could be like this? So she discussed with Zhang Baozi and said that she was also willing to accept the recruitment. After hearing this, Zhang Bailing was overjoyed, and personally led his entourage directly to the Zheng Shishi and Zhang Baozi’s boat to negotiate. In the fifteenth year of Jiaqing, the court asked the court to take over 270 large ships and help 16 thousand. , Five thousand women and children, seven thousand swords and spears, and one thousand two hundred artillery pieces. Zhang Bailing, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was directly awarded the Qing Dynasty Prince's Shaobao for his meritorious service in the enlistment of Zheng Shi's family. The name was changed to Zhang Bao, and he was officially appointed as the second-rank vice general. Zheng Shi was awarded Qian Zong by the Qing government and was the first female officer in the Qing Dynasty!

After Yang Meng heard it, he looked disappointed: "The feeling is another Song Jiang. Isn't this a rebellion on the way? This story is boring."

Xiao Peng looked at Yang Meng's expression and smiled slightly: "Did you find any important problems?"

Yang Meng was taken aback: "What's the problem?"

Xiao Peng said slightly: "The Red Flag has a gang of 100,000, and there are nearly 2,000 large and small boats, but only 16,000 and 270 boats followed Zheng Shishi. Then the rest of the people will go. Where is it?"

When Yang Meng heard this, he reacted, "Yes, where are the rest of the people?"

Xiao Peng pointed to the sea in front of him: "It's here! After Zheng Shishi's surrender, she left tens of thousands of people on Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia, and they have refused to surrender to the court and continue to plunder at sea. Some people say It’s because they disdain to be with Zheng Shi’s family, but have you ever thought about it? How could the Red Flag Gang make Zheng Shi’s ship so easy to clear? There must be some agreement between the two sides to achieve this. Yes. When Zheng Shishi and Zhang Baozi took office, they did not bring much wealth. Think about it, can the wealth of these two pirate leaders of this size be reduced? Where did they go? Isn’t that talent? Is it the reason for the Red Flag Gang to make Zheng Shishi clear?"

"You mean, Zheng Shi and Zhang Baozi gave their treasure to the Red Flag Gang?" Yang Meng asked.

Xiao Peng shook his head: "I think it is unlikely that the money will be directly given to the Red Flag Gang. After all, if the money is directly given, then Zheng Shi and others will have no value. According to my analysis, it is very likely to be Treasure stayed somewhere and didn't take it away, and the Hongqi Gang saw that Zheng Shi did not take Treasure away, and everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie. Zheng Shi and the others were let go. After all, the clue is only in her hands. in."

Yang Meng patted his hands after hearing this: "That Steven said yesterday that they found Zheng Shi's treasure?"

Xiao Peng smiled and nodded: "I'm not sure yet, but seeing how happy he is, it should have something to do with Zheng Shi's. Otherwise, why should I stop them here early in the morning? After the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole, let's follow. ."

When Yang Meng heard it, his eyes lit up: "Good idea! Just do it! Let's follow."

Xiao Peng gave him a white look: "Where are they?"

"Uh..." Well, I haven't seen Steven and their ship leaving the port yet.
