Volume 1: Angelica meets Guihua Chapter 286: The Thief in White Armor

    It must be admitted that Ma Fen's idea is relatively low-risk.  As for feasibility, since the female real pirates have had successful experience of killing people, setting fires and catching slaves in Japan, and there are successful cases out there, it stands to reason that compared to the meager behavior of the female real pirates, the Song Dynasty  Pirates generally have to be tougher. Not to mention other pirates, just take Lin Gui's group of pirates as an example. They have great potential for training.  This time, Lin Gui captured more than 400 Koreans in Korea. Long Jiu felt that Lin Gui and his group could travel around Japan and carry forward the 'female' real person and his own experience.

    Lin Gui was originally asked to come to Sakhalin Island to help Ma Fen seize the island. According to the experience on the Kra Isthmus, if he wanted to make up the number, he issued an order to put together the number of pirates and a bunch of miscellaneous workers from various countries, and pieced it together.  Seven or eight thousand men and horses is not a problem. It should be a piece of cake for Ma Fen to lead a team of nearly 10,000 people to capture Sado Island by surprise.  Then, after the hard hand comes first, and then the soft hand, I don¡¯t believe you can even get a deserted Sado Island!

    In the minds of others who traveled through time, Ma Fen was just a warrior, wasn¡¯t he just a soldier?  Soldiers are the type with strong limbs and simple minds. They don't need to make plans anyway, they just need to implement the decisions passed by the board of directors.  As a result, I didn't expect that Ma Fen actually had a little strategy. I didn't notice it at all before!  It can be seen that Ma Fen has really been a special forces soldier, and the Republic's special forces soldiers are indeed talented and not "conceited".

    After this incident, Han Huanzhang could not help but admire Ma Fen even more.  But the more admirable Ma Fen was, the more dissatisfied Han Huanzhang became with his current situation.

    After time traveling, Han Huanzhang has been very dissatisfied with his role.  Because my role was so embarrassing, I only blame myself for being fooled at the beginning. At that time, I thought it would be flattering to be regarded as the leader of "returnees", so that I was impersonated as "Zhang Huaihan" for a long time.  I accidentally became the leader of the fake "returnees" and paid a heavy price.  well!  As long as this fake leader goes away, his embarrassing identity will not be eliminated.  The embarrassment is that in the name of being the protagonist, he is actually a sidekick. He cannot steal the limelight from Mao Geng, and he has to avoid Mao Geng wherever he is.  No!  Apart from staying in the Kra Isthmus, there is no other way to go to a place like Sakhalin where birds don¡¯t poop.

    Originally, I wanted to come to Sakhalin Island to dominate the field of architecture and give full play to my artistic expertise. If I can¡¯t become an art master and become an architect, that is also an option I can consider.  Like the world-class architect Pei Imming, build a few iconic buildings that will last forever, such as designs like the Louvre Expansion Project and the Bank of China Building in Hong Kong. You can also learn from others, such as the Sydney Opera House.  And so on, well, we have to 'make' some post-modern buildings, such as the Bird's Nest.  Being a master architect in the late 12th and early 13th centuries is actually quite desirable.

    However, after arriving here, I found that now is not the time to use the genius of the master architect. Most of the buildings built at this time are temporary buildings. As for the permanent buildings, it is how to save materials and labor. Almost no one cares.  Regarding the artistic nature of architecture, if you talk to Ma Fen about avant-garde design now, you will definitely be disappointed.

    The most frustrating thing is not this. The most frustrating thing is that when I arrived at Sakhalin Island and faced the strong man Ma Fen again, my position seemed to be even more miserable.  On the Kra Isthmus, Ma Fen was still worried about his title of "leader". After arriving here, he simply ignored the treatment of the "leader". Who should show the drama of the leader!  There is no audience here.

    "It's sad. Now facing the more powerful Ma Fen, Han Huanzhang found that his status has been completely reduced. Damn it!"  I admit that you are somewhat capable, but Ma Fen, why do you have such arrogance?  well!  The situation is not optimistic. It seems that for a long time in the future, I will not have much say in Sakhalin Island, and I am destined to be a walk-on.

    At this moment, Han Huanzhang was very unwilling and angry, which caused a large amount of adrenal hormones to be secreted, and then suddenly a crazy idea came to his mind. He almost shouted excitedly:

    "Okay! Very good! I like Ma Fen's idea very much. In order to support it, I am ready to go all out. Ma Fen, this pirate job you mentioned, count me in. I decided to organize a group of pirate teams myself and go to Japan to do it.  Take a trip around the island and catch some Japanese young men."

    Long Jiu took a look and wondered what kind of madness Han Huanzhang was, and quickly tried to dissuade him. Ma Fen also felt that Han Huanzhang was unreliable as a pirate, and tried his best to dissuade him:

    "You are still our 'returnee' leader in name. How can a big leader become a pirate!"

    This time Han Huanzhang became anxious and immediately stood up:

    "This bullshit 'leader' is just here to fool people. If you want me to continue to use a name to fool people, I have no problem with it, but I am determined to be the pirate leader. If you don't let me go, I willStop being this fake leader and do it to whoever likes it!  I'll go to Lin'an immediately!  "Han Huanzhang's words were urgent and almost threatening.

    "What if someone recognizes you and the leader of the 'returnees' turns out to be a pirate leader? What will the Song Dynasty and the people think of us! This is inappropriate!" Long Jiu felt that if this happens, what if the Song Dynasty and the people directly identify the so-called  'Returnees' is actually another name for pirates, which completely ruins the image of the pirates.

    When Han Huanzhang saw that there was something going on, he immediately said:

    "This is not easy! I don't mind putting on makeup like a one-eyed dragon, a black eye patch, and a majestic beard. A pirate should look like a pirate, right! Although I am a jade tree facing the wind, the wind  / Suave, but since the plot requires it, sacrifice your image and play the villain for once. Just be a little uglier. For the collective benefit of the time travellers, I don¡¯t mind.¡±

    Ma Fen originally thought that it was unreliable for Han Huanzhang to become a pirate leader. After all, the technical content of the pirate profession is quite high, but blocking him was not the answer. Then he thought about it, he has the fastest ship in the world.  , even if Han Huanzhang can't be defeated, running away is still not a problem. If he can't be defeated, he can always escape. In this case, the risk is not great. The worst is to send a few more capable men.  There are a lot of things going on on Sakhalin Island now, but there is no chance for Han Huanzhang, a self-proclaimed surrealist artist, to use postmodern art. Instead of Han Huanzhang staying on the island and causing trouble and causing chaos, it is better to send him away far away.  , it is better to cause "chaos" to the Japanese than to cause "chaos" to our own people.

    Having made up his mind, Ma Fen secretly calculated it again in his mind. Indeed, Japan¡¯s coastline is so long that there cannot be more than three teams operating in several places at the same time, and the effect will not be obvious.  Han Huanzhang pulled up a group of pirates to count as one, Lin Gui counted as one, and there were one or two groups. Of course, there was no need for eight groups. It was necessary to have three or four groups at the same time and echo each other from afar.

    In this way, Han Huanzhang volunteered to play the role of a certain pirate leader.

    Of course, Ma Fen would not just let Han Huanzhang die in a hurry. Ma Fen spent five days training Han Huanzhang, of course, mainly on how to save himself, that is, how to escape, and how to command.  Help the public.  As for Han Huanzhang's own combat power, Ma Fen never had any expectations.

    One early morning after that, a fleet arrived somewhere on the west coast of Japan Island. Eighteen ships, large and small, approached the shore one after another. First, a small boat docked, and five people 'touched' ashore.  It was still dark at this time. The five people who were the first to go ashore came back to report the news after they 'touched' a village. Then the fleet put down many small boats. Soon, more than 300 people came ashore and headed to the village one kilometer away.  The village advanced quietly.

    There were only about forty households in the village. Most of the people were still sleeping when a group of ferocious pirates broke into the village. Only three households put up unnecessary resistance, and five of the resisters were killed.  .

    More than two hundred people in the whole village were herded together. The scene that the Japanese in this village saw was a bit terrifying. The corpses of five resisters were lying in front of them, surrounded by pirates holding gleaming white steel knives. Most of the pirates' bodies were  The skin color is the same as that of the Japanese, but there are also many pirates with dark skin. Judging from the words of these pirates, it is impossible to tell where they come from.  The most eye-catching ones are the three leader-like people standing on the earth platform. The three of them are wearing shining white armor, and the pieces of white scales sparkle in the sunlight.  The three of them wore a strange white helmet with a dense number of holes punched in the front. It felt like there was a pair of ferocious eyes watching the field, but they couldn't see what the person inside the helmet looked like.  .

    A pirate who claimed to be Japanese stood up and began to speak:

    "Our leader is Yelu Sha, the prince of the Liao Kingdom. He is here to take you to a fairy-like place to make a fortune. I tell you, after three years there, you will be able to eat and drink without any worries and make a lot of money. Very soon  Fortunately, King Yelusha has taken a fancy to you, and you can follow the leader now. Congratulations, you can live a happy life by following the king."

    There was a buzz below, everyone was scolding this guy for being the accomplice of a tiger. Those who didn't say a word were also scolding the spokesperson on stage for being useless. As for whether they were calling Japan a "treacherous", it was unclear.

    The Japanese pirate who spoke was named Kobayashi Takeo, and he continued to speak loudly:

    "Which family led the way for the king to enter the village? Please come forward?"

    No one below responded, but then a pirate pulled out a family of five from the crowd. They were a husband and wife, two daughters, and a son. The family were all in very shabby clothes. The man looked forty years old.  He was trembling when he was pulled out.

    The tall white-armored leader in the middle nodded, and Xiaolin Zhunan saidHe said sharply:

    "Although the king is here to lead you to enjoy happiness, this family has bad intentions. It was this family that led the way and betrayed all of you. The king is a man of loyalty and deeply hates such people who betray the whole village. Now, the king has ordered  , execute this family in public.¡±

    Everyone in the village knew that this family had always been honest and friendly, but unexpectedly, they knew each other well but not their hearts. For a while, everyone in the family was filled with indignation.  Of course, even if someone feels that the family has been wronged, they dare not speak out in anger at this time.

    Immediately, in full view of the public, the whole family was force-fed "poisoned wine". After a while, all five of them disappeared.

    The other people in the village were immediately driven onto the pirate ship. From a distance, they saw flames shooting into the sky in the direction of the village. This gang of pirates was really vicious. After robbing them, they even didn¡¯t let go of the house.  But if you burn it, burn it. Who knows if you can come back after this!

    This operation of the pirate fleet was perfect. After waiting for the fleet, Han Huanzhang took off his helmet in the cabin and took off his white armor. It was a set of steel enamel scale armor. It looked very cool when worn. The only drawback was the weight.  Still a bit heavy.

    After feeling relaxed, Han Huanzhang grinned and laughed.  The two white women on the side also took off their enamel scales and laughed in amusement. They didn't understand why Han Huanzhang suddenly laughed for no reason.  Both of them were female slaves that Liu Wenbin exchanged for his last voyage. Liu Wenbin chose the most beautiful Ba Kaili himself, and the other two were taken over by the "leader" Han Huanzhang. The two white women were ordinary-looking.  , Han Huanzhang did not forget to add a bit of fun to their names. The fatter one was called "Meng'Lu", and the thinner one was called "Hepburn".

    Han Huanzhang was very proud, not so much of his action, but of the scene where he was poured "poisoned wine". Naturally, Han Huanzhang personally wrote and directed such a plot. What he drank was actually not the poisoned wine, but the "poisoned wine" prepared by Lao Peng.  Peng's 'Mongolian' sweat medicine'".  The family that was framed as the "Path Leader" would wake up by themselves at night, leaving behind a timid and fearful family, as well as a house and some belongings. After waking up, this family should be small landowners.  I wonder if the Japanese government will allocate part of the land under the names of the abducted villagers to this family. Han Huanzhang has nothing to do with this matter.  But the family will definitely report the information about the pirates' visit truthfully. Soon, the thief who goes by the pseudonym "Yel¨¹sha" will become famous throughout Japan.  In order to effectively convey this information, such dramas will need to continue to be staged in the future.

    However, when it came to the second action, Han Huanzhang changed his method again.  In the second operation, Han Huanzhang used the method of drawing lots. The one who won the lottery by "drawing" would get a big prize.

    Of course, the winner will not be a rich family. Under deliberate arrangements, the poor family of Dingdangxiang won the prize. There are nine people in this family, old and young. The winning prize is fifty Song Dynasty copper coins. For the poor,  A family suddenly has fifty coins, which is Song Qian - the international currency!  Of course I was overjoyed.  At this time, the copper coins of the Song Dynasty were equivalent to the pounds sterling from the 17th to 19th centuries and the US dollars from the 20th to 21st centuries. They were the most trustworthy currency in the world and were more useful than Japanese copper coins in Japan. They could be obtained out of thin air.  Fifty pieces of Song Dynasty money was a windfall. The family did not dare to express their happiness on their faces. Instead, they were anxious in their hearts. They did not know whether these cruel pirates meant what they said. Could they be playing tricks on others?

    The family was escorted to a fairly good house, which belonged to a wealthy family in the village. Fifty guan of money was piled on the table. Xiaolin Zhunan also brought three white-armored leaders. The white-armored leader  Taking off his helmet, he revealed a somewhat scary face with a black eyepatch on his right eye. The one-eyed thief grinned. Xiaolin Takeo explained that your family will be free at night. Since the king has said so,  Put fifty pounds of money on the table. After the evening, the money will be yours.  As for the other people in your village, the king is going to take them with him to a place with good weather to make a fortune.

    The family waited until night before they dared to go out cautiously to explore the situation. Then they found that except for the house they were staying in, the other houses in the entire village had been burned to ruins, with embers still lingering in several places.  The people in the village and the pirates have disappeared.

    Of course, the other people were captured by the "Yelu Kill" pirates. Han Huanzhang, who was flying the "Yelu" flag, calculated the money and food he had grabbed, at least five to six hundred guan, and the most important thing was the people he captured.  , the purchase price of Sakhalin is twenty guan for a Japanese young man, and seven guan for a "woman". Young and old can also exchange money, one for three guan. After all, 379 people were arrested this time.  , you can earn five thousand guan at a time, this business is really cost-effective.

    The first two times went smoothly and there were no casualties, but the third time the Yelu Gang encountered difficulties.  According to the description of two people who were lucky enough to hide, that day, the one-eyed white-armored thiefMany of his men were killed by the heroic Japanese samurai. Unfortunately, the white-armored thief had an extraordinary powerful "magic fire", and he also had a series of arrows, excellent armor, and sharp swords and guns. In the end, the samurai were outnumbered and they all died.  Pirate men.  In order to vent their anger, the pirates drew lots to kill people. The whole family of the winner was beheaded with a knife.  Afterwards, the pirates set fire to all the houses and turned them into ruins, leaving not one behind.  As for the men, women, and children who were robbed, they were inevitably caught by the pirates and put on the pirate ship.

    On the same day, I heard the Japanese traitor Kobayashi Takeo announce that King Yelu is peace-loving. If he cooperates obediently, he will draw a lottery, but if someone resists blatantly, he will draw lots and kill him.  This rule is also written down on the wall. Japanese people can understand it in Chinese anyway. How to choose whether to 'draw' a prize or 'draw' a killing lot, please Japanese people choose carefully, and so on.

    Note: The copper coins of the Song Dynasty were "cast in one dynasty and shared by four dynasties". They were also the currency of the Xixia, Liao and Jin Dynasties.  The copper coins of the Song Dynasty also flowed overseas.  Japan once sent merchant ships to engage in trade in the Song Dynasty. After all the goods were sold, they stopped purchasing goods and only accepted copper coins. One hundred thousand copper coins were shipped away in one trip.  According to statistics from Jun Koba's "History of Currency Circulation in Japan", there are more than 550,000 Chinese copper coins unearthed in 28 places in Japan, of which more than 80% are Song Dynasty copper coins.  In 1266, the Kamakura shogunate publicly recognized Song copper coins as Japan's legal tender.  In addition, copper coins in the Song Dynasty were also the main currency in Korea, Jiaozhi and other countries.
