Chapter 838 Lure the snake out of its hole

Nantie asked: "When will that fleet depart from Wenzhou?"

"It will be two days later." Song Qing was afraid that he would not believe it, so he added: "Boss Zhu's informants have already found out the navigation route, and they will just set up a card to intercept it."

Nantie thought about it and said: "So, Brother Song also knows the route?"

Song Qing couldn't understand his intention, and quickly shook his head and said: "The little guy doesn't know this route. If the boat gang brothers are willing to join forces to attack, Mr. Zhu will send someone to lead the way for you at the designated place."

Nantie secretly cursed the old fox in his heart, but he didn't know that this was not Song Qing's idea, but Gao Qiaonan had already warned him when he sent him out. If the Yueqing Boat Gang thought that Song Qing also knew the target's route, then

They will probably leave Song Qing's organization aside and directly escort Song Qing to do this business alone. What Gao Qiaonan cares about is not Song Qing's life safety, but whether this will affect the invitation set by Haihan.

The layout, if Song Qing is coerced and intimidated by the other party and tells the truth, all the previous efforts will be wasted.

Song Qing also knew that it was extremely risky for him to work as a lobbyist for the Yueqing Shipping Gang. Although the two parties had cooperated in the past, one hundred thousand taels of silver was enough to make these ruthless pirates turn against each other. Don't look at the way Nantie is now acting like a brother.

You have to be very affectionate. If you say the wrong thing, you will immediately become the prisoner of the other party. At that time, you will really have just stepped out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den again.

Although time was tight, Nantie still insisted on the share ratio and refused to let go until both parties split it 50:50. Song Qing's bargaining with him was just for show, not really to compete for benefits, so she persisted for a while.

After that, he finally gave in and said, "How about this? I will take the third master's intention back and tell Boss Zhu. If Boss Zhu agrees to the 50/50 split, then I will come back here tomorrow to reply to you."

Nantie was afraid that things might change and asked, "What if Boss Zhu doesn't approve of it?"

Song Qingxin thought that Boss Zhu has already died, and it doesn’t matter whether he agrees or not. Even if you want 100% monopoly, the owner over there will agree. You thought they were sending money to your door, but what they want is for you to die.

.

Song Qing pretended to ponder for a moment before responding: "This matter is already very urgent, and we don't have much time to discuss it slowly. In my humble opinion, it is better to get this batch of goods first, and how to divide them later, both parties can come to

It's time to sit down and discuss it slowly. What does the third master think?"

Nan Tie thought it was reasonable. If the dispute could not come to a result, when the other fleet crossed the border, everyone would not be able to get a single coin. As for discussing it after the fact, it would not be who has the bigger fist and who has the right. We should be realistic.

If they can't reach an agreement, it's not impossible for them to forcefully eat Zhu Shanhai's gang.

"Business matters are important. What Brother Song said makes sense, so it's settled!" Nantie quickly figured out the stakes and no longer insisted on a clear negotiation on the share.

The two immediately agreed on a time to meet the next day, and Song Qing said goodbye and left. After Nantie sent him out of the gate, he quickly returned to the courtyard and said: "Prepare the boat immediately, I want to rush back to Yandang Town!"

Song Qing left the Yueqing Boat Gang's yard and went to the dock to catch the fishing boat that had returned. When he returned to the place where Haihan put him ashore, he saw that Haihan's boat was still waiting there, and he felt strange in his heart.

An inexplicable sense of peace of mind.

"Is the matter settled?" Gao Qiaonan felt relieved when he saw Song Qing coming back. Although Song Qing's biological brother was detained here, if Song Qing really wanted to escape, it would be difficult for Haihan to take him back.

Catch him back; or if he is found out by the other party when he goes to negotiate with the Yueqing Ship Gang, he may not be able to come back. No matter what the situation is, it will be very troublesome for Haihan to try to lure the snake out of the hole.

matter.

Song Qing lowered his head and replied: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my destiny and met Nantie, the third boss of the Yueqing Boat Gang. This man has always been greedy for money and profits. The villain explained the matter in general, and he was tempted. However, this man had no idea how to divide the shares.

He was so serious that he insisted on a 50-50 split. In order to avoid being discovered by him, the villain spent more time dealing with him. Finally, he agreed to meet with him tomorrow to make a final decision. Presumably he had sent someone back to Yandang by then.

Reported to the town."

What Song Qing didn't expect was that Nantie was more urgent than he thought and had already rushed back to Yandang Town to report the news. As long as he went back to persuade the Zheng brothers, the possibility of success would increase a lot. Gao Qiaonan

After carefully interrogating Song Qing about the content of the meeting with Nantie, Song Qing did not dare to hide it, so he recalled it bit by bit and told Gao Qiaonan.

While listening, Takahashi Nan wondered whether there were loopholes in Song Qing's words. Although he was not from the security department, he had a lot of experience in interrogating various prisoners of war over the years. Is there any fabrication or inappropriateness in Song Qing's description?

Partly, he could judge it quickly. After confirming that Song Qing had not made any mistakes, Gao Qiaonan gave him instructions on how to guide the other party the next time they met.

That night, the fleet was stationed at Dongtou Island, about 30 nautical miles away from Yueqing Bay, and Song Qingcai, who was given a deck release because of his outstanding performance, was finally able to see the true size of this mysterious armed fleet - except that they initially targeted the plunderers.

In addition to several merchant ships and several warships that chased and bombarded them, there was actually such a huge fleet hidden behind them. What Song Qing saw at this time was that there were at least thirty or forty warships of various sizes.

Many, the largest warship was shaped like a hill, with a huge word "Enterprise" on the bow and side. Song Qing didn't know whether it was the name of this army or that ship.

As far as Song Qing knew, the Wenzhou Navy was far from such a scale, and the appearance of these warships also looked significantly different from the Navy's lucky ships. After standing beside the ship for a long time and looking at it, he suddenly

A name that I have heard more and more in the past two years comes to mind.

"Why didn't I expect that these evil stars came to Zhejiang!" Song Qing compared the fleet in front of him with the rumors he had heard, and was able to almost determine the origin of this fleet.

.

Haihan is not unknown in Zhejiang. Although Haihan people have never appeared here, Haihan products and various magical rumors have already entered the people of Zhejiang through various channels. The most widely circulated article about Haihan

, is the legend that the Haihan people's regiment was invincible in battle.

According to rumors, the Haihan Militia are all evil men who kill without blinking an eye, and are advanced in armed force and powerful in combat. Although they do not have many troops, their overall strength far exceeds that of the Ming Army. All armed forces that have fought against the Haihan Militia, whether they are

The Guangdong bandits, Fujian pirates, and Westerners were all beaten to a pulp and were unable to fight back. Even Xu Xinsu, the commander-in-chief of Fujian, obeyed the Haihan people for no other reason than the Haihan people's funding.

The Fujian Ming army was able to drive Shibazhi out of the Fujian Strait.

Of course, to the ears of Zhejiang people who have never really seen the Haihan militia, these rumors are just exaggerated boasts. The Ming Dynasty has always regarded itself as a **** country, how could there be an outsider more powerful than the Ming army?

Armed? The Haihan were clearly just a group of armed merchants, but they were inexplicably blown up to the sky.

Song Qing was one of the holders of this view before. He believed that even if Haihan's private armed forces were capable, they would at most be similar to the armed maritime merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with an armed force of 1,800 people.

That’s not bad. The reason why we were able to achieve such a great reputation in Fuzhou and Guangzhou was probably because of money. After all, even in Shibazhi’s territory, you can pay tolls in exchange for peace. What else can’t be exchanged for money?

If you arrive, maybe the local people will help to praise them after they get the benefits of the Haihan people.

However, the scene in front of him shattered all of Song Qing's old ideas. He was originally a little worried about whether this mysterious armed force could handle it if the Yueqing Ship Gang really came out in full force. But after seeing the fleet in front of him, he basically could

There must be only one outcome for the Yueqing Boat Gang in two days' time - that is, they are dead.

"What do you think of our fleet?"

When Song Qing was looking at the armed sailboats on the sea in the distance, he suddenly heard Gao Qiaonan's voice coming from behind him. He quickly turned around and responded: "I have never seen such a majestic fleet. Today is really an eye-opener."

.”

"Do you still doubt whether we can deal with the Yueqing Boat Gang?" Gao Qiaonan continued to ask.

Song Qing bowed his head and responded: "The Yueqing Ship Gang is just a bunch of rabble, how can it be compared with the fleet of your army! In the opinion of a villain, I will be able to capture all the gangsters in the Ship Gang and catch them all in one fell swoop!"

After Song Qing saw the true appearance of the Haihan Fleet, he sent the hat to Gao Qiaonan for free, completely forgetting that he was also a gangster. However, Gao Qiaonan asked him not to listen to his praise, but to ask him for help.

Let Song Qing stabilize his mind a little. After all, he is also an actor now. If he is not given enough confidence, it may affect his subsequent acting performance.

The next day, Gao Qiaonan also sent Song Qing to the nearby coast, and he would find a boat to Maogu Island. However, this time Song Qing missed the opportunity. Nantie did not arrive at the courtyard yesterday.

Song Qing was also a smart person, so he immediately stuffed a few pieces of silver into his pocket and found out that Nantie had rushed back to Yandang Town yesterday.

What could happen if Nantie rushed back in a hurry? Even with his toes, Song Qing could guess that he was going to persuade the Zheng brothers to send troops. As for whether Nantie could persuade the Zheng brothers, Song Qing couldn't interfere.

Right now. He can only wait for news on Maogao Island. If the Zheng brothers do not agree to send troops, then Song Qing will have to think carefully about how to ask Gao Qiaonan for forgiveness after returning.

At noon that day, Song Qing had lunch in the courtyard. Song Qing had been in a state of anxiety for the past two days. When he was free, he suddenly felt sleepy. He actually fell asleep sitting on a chair in the flower hall. He didn't know how long he slept.

He heard someone calling him: "Brother Song, wake up!"

Song Qing suddenly opened his eyes and saw Nan Tiezheng putting a hand on his shoulder. Behind him stood two brothers, Zheng Pingda and Zheng Ping, and seven or eight personal guards with waist knives surrounding him.

Song Qing stood up quickly and bowed to the Zheng brothers: "Song Qing, the villain, works under Boss Zhu of Zhushanhai. This time, I specially come to invite the brothers of the boat gang to join forces. I hope that the leaders can help."

The Zheng brothers were born fishermen. Although they relied on ruthlessness to make a living as pirates, they really didn’t have much of a city to speak of. Zheng Ping opened his mouth and got straight to the point: "I heard Nan Laosan say that you, Mr. Zhu, have a fortune worth ten dollars."

A big deal worth ten thousand taels of silver?"

Song Qing knew that Zheng Ping wanted to confirm with him that Nantie's report was correct, and immediately responded: "It is true, but this time the idea is a bit tricky. Boss Zhu was afraid that he would not be able to eat it, so he sent a villain to invite the boat gang.

Brothers join forces."

"It's okay to join forces, but does Mr. Zhu have an accurate answer for how to divide the accounts afterwards?" Zheng Ping'er also impatiently interjected and asked.

Song Qing thought to herself that it was true that these people only cared about money and did not realize the danger lurking in them. But this was fine. As long as they were led out of Yueqing Bay, she would have a chance to escape.

At that moment, Song Qinggu said with a troubled expression: "Boss Zhu originally planned to give 30% of the captured goods to the ship gang brothers as a thank you for this matter, but after discussing with the third master yesterday, Boss Zhu also felt that your side should contribute a little more.

.”

"So it's four or six?" Zheng Ping'er asked.

Song Qing nodded silently, waiting for the other party to continue their counteroffer. Yesterday, Nantie had asked for a five-for-five split. Today, the two real owners are here, and it is obvious that the conditions cannot be lower than yesterday. Song Qing plans to wait for the other party.

After shouting out 50-50, wait for a few more rounds before answering. Anyway, these people won't get a single tael of silver in the end, so giving 10% more or 10% less won't affect the overall situation.

"Okay, then it's 40 or 60, that's it!" Zheng Pingda agreed readily, which surprised Song Qing, but Zheng Pingda continued: "Our boat gang will take 60%, and the rest will be given to

Boss Zhu, we have more people and more efforts, so it makes sense to share more money."

Song Qing smiled bitterly and said: "With the conditions of being the boss, it's hard for me to explain to Boss Zhu when I go back!"

Zheng Pingda patted Song Qing on the shoulder hard and said: "When you get back, tell me this is what I meant. If Boss Zhu has any ideas, we will discuss it after the work is done! Business is important, and other things should be put aside for a while!"

Song Qing thought in her heart that this meant taking advantage of others. The strength of the Yueqing Ship Gang was far greater than that of Zhu Shanhai. Even if the two sides negotiated, strength would still speak for itself in the end. If there was such a big deal, the Yueqing Ship Gang might forcefully take advantage of the enemy.

The nature is very high. In the end, Zhu Shanhai was lucky to get a share, let alone 40%. Of course, they could not have guessed that all this was arranged by someone. The purpose of Song Qing's bargaining with them was just to lure

They walked step by step towards the dug hole.

"In that case, the villain will report back truthfully and let Boss Zhu make the decision." Seeing that these people were obsessed with money, Song Qing stopped spending energy on acting.
