Chapter 272 Yang Si
Yang Si was in Xinyang Town, and even Qingzhou Prefecture was surrounded by famous figures. He was nicknamed "Sea Monkey". In the seventh year of Chongzhen, he had more than a dozen boats and more than 300 people. He often went to the sea surface of Nanzhili to do unsuccessful transactions.
Sometimes, Nanzhili cannot get it, and even dare to land on the coast of other places, looking for villages near the seaside to loot. Yang Si’s more than 300 people are children of the local hometown, and they are united in groups. The ordinary gangs often cannot beat Yang Si’s gang.
In addition, Yang Si was a small flag at the junction of Southern Zhili and Shandong. He escaped from the military camp and led his subordinates to loot and fight. After all, he was a person from the official position. He was a proper person and knew how to look at the style of the people. He generally could not provoke revenge from the government and the real sea overlords.
This transaction is really going to be getting bigger and bigger. However, after the eighth year of Chongzhen, the rules were decided by Jiaozhou Camp in Laizhou Prefecture. There was also a salt farm near Xinyang Town. The salt farm was controlled by a group of people from Laizhou Prefecture, and they sold salt goods by sea and land every day.
At the beginning, Yang Si was wondering if he could fight Qiu Feng. After all, Yang Si was a powerful man around Xinyang Town. However, the group of Laizhou people did not act like their own businessmen. They spoke directly, asking for peace nearby and no robbers or robbers.
Youdao is a strong dragon that does not suppress local snakes, and a group of outsiders are still so arrogant. The people in Qingzhou are all angry, but everyone also thinks that this group of people is indeed unusual. For example, salt dealers who sell private salt, but many local big-name households take the initiative to come to congratulate and accept it.
No matter how arrogant the bandits and murderers are, as long as they are not as large as the camp, they must be polite to these gentry clans in the local area and cannot afford to offend them at all. The group of Laizhou people actually received such support, and many people gave up the idea of provoking them.
It is strictly forbidden to rob a bandit, which is equivalent to cutting off Yang Si's way of making money. However, this also shows his cunning side. Yang Si did not do it himself, but instead prepared a lot of money to ask the village on Maer Mountain to come forward. This village was composed of defeated soldiers who had been rushing to the side when he was good at drilling holes. He has never abide by the rules that rabbits do not eat grass by their nests, and burning, killing, looting and doing arbitrary behavior around them, which is also a major disaster for Qingzhou Prefecture.
Since Yang Si is called a monkey, he means he is flexible and has many strategies. He often robs some of the necessary items from the sea, but he cannot take them away. He adds some price to the bandits in Maershan, and often reports some information.
The friendship between the two sides is really good. This time, I paid a lot of money to invite the other party, only saying that this group of foreign Laizhou businessmen are rich and Yang Si himself wanted to do it, but the distance was too close, so it was difficult for the local people in the hometown to start. Please ask the brothers from Maershan to come down and help. Then the things that both sides stole are fairly distributed.
The murderers on Maer Mountain were not flexible at the foot of the mountain. When they saw Yang Si’s news, they had a good relationship with each other and believed Yang Si’s words. Under the guidance of Yang Si, hundreds of people went down the mountain to the nearest salt field while it was dark and rushed in and robbed before dawn.
Yang Si was naturally laughing at home and was waiting for the result of the next day. Who would have thought that the man he sent to lead the way ran back in a mess the next day, saying that the strong man on Ma'er Mountain was discovered by the other party before he rushed in. He was originally going to beat him, but who would have thought that the other party would take action first.
Dozens of salt dealers from Laizhou formed a formation and rushed out. Seeing that the other party was so arrogant, they were even more angry and rushed to the besiege desperately, but they did not get any advantage after the battle. Instead, they were rushed back and forth by the other party and killed the team apart.
Moreover, the landlords and other big families near the salt farm gathered one after another and sent their own strong men to help. After leaving dozens of entities, the strong people in Maer Mountain rushed back to Maer Mountain in a panic. Including the dispersed and the escaped ones, more than 40% of the people went there.
Yang Si was immediately shocked when he heard this news. He was also an important role. He immediately wiped out the subordinates who led the way and contacted him. Mao was waiting for the news at home, gathered his subordinates and stopped going out to do business. He would wait until the matter really came to an end.
The result of the incident happened three days later. The village in Maershan was opened by soldiers from Jiaozhou. No one in the village was left, but no one left, and all of them were slaughtered.
The Maershan Mountain Village was not only the people from Laizhou Prefecture, but also the Green Forests from Qingzhou. This incident scared Yang Si in a cold sweat. This is why he knew what kind of existence the Jiaozhou Camp was. Isn’t it bad to think that he was secretly urging such a thing?
Yang Si immediately dismissed all his subordinates and took some money to other places to avoid the limelight in the name of visiting relatives. At that time, Yang Si's power was rising, and the lack of capital transactions at sea were also booming. The few small leaders below didn't understand. Taking advantage of Yang Si's departure, they directly took these pirates and pulled the pole and the flags on the sea.
But the development momentum of Jiaozhou Camp was extremely rapid. In the nine years of Chongzhen, it swept it in Qingzhou Prefecture and Laizhou Prefecture almost like a net. In order to ensure the safe production of the salt field and the smooth flow of sea routes, the counterfeit villages that had been around for many years were completely defeated, not to mention these small groups at sea.
These dispersed forces either could not withstand the pressure and disperse themselves, or were caught in a salt farm to do hard work, or just chopped their heads.
After the Zheng family's fleet drove into this sea area, no one dared to mention being a pirate anymore. In the face of such a giant, if you go into the sea and become a pirate, you will feel that you have a long life.
When Yang Si stayed outside for more than a year and returned to Xinyang Town, the news was almost over and the situation was clear and clear. On the one hand, Yang Si was amazed at the rapid and domineering rise of Jiaozhou Camp, but because of his previous illness, he did not dare to do anything about bandits anymore. He accumulated some gold and silver, and did not have to worry about food and use. He simply gathered those former brothers who were miserable at home and had a difficult life in the disaster year, and fished together and did some small business.
Not to mention the rapid changes in people, people will not remember many things for too long in this chaotic year. Yang Si did this and soon became a famous figure in the town. The more the power of Jiaozhou Camp expanded, the more afraid Yang Si was about what he did back then, the more cautious he was in his life and work, and the higher his reputation in the countryside.
In Xinyang Town, anyone who mentions the title of "Brother Yang" has to praise him.
On the ninth day of the sixth month of the 12th year of Chongzhen, Yang Si got up early and led his men to the beach to repair fishing boats and repair fishing nets. The people in the town were all busy with their livelihoods. Few people noticed that a few knights came to the town. Among these knights, one of them was familiar with the people in the town. They were a manager in the nearby salt farm. They always came to the town to buy salt goods. In addition to being a bit a little tough, they were very fair and not boring.
At this time, the manager was having a laugh and chatting with several knights who were traveling with him:
"Yang Si colluded with strong men to attack the salt field back then, and he was also a brave person!"
This anecdote made the knights in plain clothes very interested, and one of them asked with a smile:
"If there is such a thing, you didn't touch him afterwards?"
"No, when I first arrived here in the day, it was difficult for outsiders to open up the situation, and I was still hoping that such a strong man would come to the door and kill and establish his authority. Yang Si helped us. When he went to slaughter the village, some bandits couldn't hold on to it. At that time, the team deputy thought that Yang Si would do something and then clean up all his people. Who would think that Yang Si would be too sloppy and went out to avoid the limelight, and it would be difficult to do it. After Yang Si came back, he would have a good reputation in the village, so there was no need to touch him."
After hearing this, a famous knight couldn't help laughing and said:
"This Yang Si is really lucky. I heard that our general used the word "please", which is a remarkable thing!"
As soon as he said this, everyone around him was surprised. The manager was familiar with him. After asking someone, he came to Yang Si's home directly.
When Yang Si was the leader of a pirate, he had a big beard and deliberately made his image more vicious. However, now, although he does physical work with wind and sun every day, he still often tidys up his beard to make himself look kinder.
After spending most of the day, Yang Si led dozens of young men back from the beach. The group of people were happy to talk and laugh. The so-called yard by the beach was also very simple, and there was not even a door.
A few years have passed, but Yang Si still remembered the thing that happened in his heart. Seeing a few horses tied outside the door, he immediately felt a sudden blow and walked in with a gritty bullet. As soon as Yang Si entered the yard, he saw the knights of civilian clothes. Yang Si had always been paying attention to the actions of Jiaozhou Camp. Others might not recognize them, but he knew that the dress of these knights of civilian clothes should be soldiers of Jiaozhou Camp.
Although the other party hadn't said anything, Yang Si's whole body became cold. Looking at the other party smiling, he was even more nervous. The young people who worked with him all felt something was wrong. These people were all brave and fierce characters back then, and they all copied the tools in their hands and surrounded them.
"Don't panic, Yang Si, your good thing is here!"
