1854 is a dividing line. After that, all pirates, whether they are coastal in Guangzhou, coastal in Fujian, Lanfang Company, and even pirates in Annan, gritted their teeth and called the "blue-bottomed cross ocean flag" "Song Gouzi".

Before this, they also celebrated Zhao Kuo's "great achievements", laughed for the Qing Dynasty's immediate end, and were proud of the rise of the Han people. If pirates do not talk about making a living, they will also be patriotic in their spare time.

Sha Baozai, a native of Chaozhou Prefecture, even loved Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Hai Song, so much that he gave up his life and helped Zhao Kuo with his head in his hand.

At that time, he felt extremely glorious. He would never have thought that Zhao Kuo's face was more changeable than the weather on the sea.

Sha Baozai was born in a fishing village in Chaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong, but he started to meet British warships as fishermen and merchant ships as pirates until he was 30 years old. He became the leader of the largest pirate gang in the area.

It was very glorious at that time. The British could not tell the appearance of the Chinese, nor could they recognize merchant ships and pirate ships. The ocean was full of fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered;

The Manqing naval master rotted into the roots. It was not the naval master who caught pirates, but the pirates arrested the naval master. The pirates unscrupulously cut off the arrested manqing naval soldiers and brought them to their families for ransom. The Manqing naval master saw that the pirate ship ran faster than the rabbit, and there were brothers everywhere, so they would not make things difficult for pirates at all.

When the navy came down, he became a pirate, when the pirate came out, he became a Manqing navy. Who told this group of people to be familiar with the local waters?

The Pirates and Manqing Navy are just a family, eating merchants together.

So Sha Baozai was disdainful of the Qing Dynasty's reunion. Although he was a high-ranking official after he went to the Navy, was the pirate who made money and Xiaoyao?

But in 1853, he cared about a brotherly reunion. He had a loyalty and national spirit. Although he was a bandit, he was also a personal person first.

In the restaurant in Chaozhou Prefecture, the thin young man with deep eyes clasped his fists at him: "Hu Qian was the master of the Chaozhou Heaven and Earth Hall, and now he is working hard for the Marquis of Pingnan. Oh, it will be Emperor Song soon. I have long admired Brother Sha's name. When I see him today, I am indeed worthy of his reputation!"

Sha Baozai touched the scar on his face at that time and laughed: "It turned out to be Brother Hu of the Tiandihui. I have heard of you. You turned out to be the yamen runner of the Chaozhou government. Are you right? Later, I heard that I had a quarrel with my boss, Jiaxing, so I went to join the Taiping Army. You are a famous person in this land. My younger brothers have passed by your hands."

Having worked in the famous "Chaozhou Bai Wuchang"? You have to take off a few layers of skin even if you die! - This is the reputation of Hu Qian, who was born in a family of men, back then. Sha Baozai's younger brothers were either dead or disabled in his hands.

But Bai Wuchang and Hu Qian had no shyness. He smiled and pointed at the main seat to ask him to sit down.

"I heard that you just conquered Guangzhou, it's amazing! Tell me, what does Emperor Zhao want to invite me to do?" Sha Baozai smiled and said, "I can't compare to him. I'm the great hero of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. I'm just a little pirate."

"Your Majesty has something to ask you all the heroes at sea." Hu Qian said with a smile.

"I can't fight, my subordinates have been spoiled by me." Sha Baozai first blocked the door that he didn't want to enter.

"It's not about fighting, but I want to invite all brothers who are familiar with the sea conditions to help you transport some brothers." Hu Qian said sincerely: "And Your Majesty wants to invite you to Haijing to see you. He admires all the heroes at sea. Believe me, this is an opportunity to become rich and famous."

Sha Baozai hesitated for a few days. Based on his favorable impression of the Heaven and Earth Association and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, especially the inspiration of "making money", he ignored his subordinates' worries and really went to Haijing with Hu Qian, the big "spy chief" under Zhao Kuo.

But in Haijing, all the original worries were unnecessary.

Standing in front of Ye Mingchen's former Governor's Mansion, Sha Baozai had no chance to consider fear, but was just excited - this was the heart of Guangzhou before, but I didn't expect that today, I, a pirate, could go in and take a look. The world has changed.

But this was more than this surprise. The guard shouted: "Your Majesty is here." Zhao Kuo, wearing a yellow robe, walked towards him with a smile, pointing at Sha Baozai who was stunned. Zhao Kuo looked at his subordinate Hu Qian and asked: "Is this famous brother Sha Baozai? I'll pick him up."

The emperor came to pick him up at the door himself?

Sha Baozai, who thought he wanted to kneel three times and kowtow nine times, was immediately knocked out by this honor.

Zhao Kuo personally pulled his arm into the Governor's Office, and introduced the functions of various buildings to him: "I'm here to the French Consul. That courtyard belongs to the military department. Zhu Qingzheng and the others are there. Foshan Baitou, have you heard of it?"

Finally, Sha Baozai was stunned and was led into his living room by Zhao Kuo. The new emperor sat face to face with him, emptying the tall "dragon chaise" on the platform above.

Sha Baozai, who was originally prepared to kneel three times and nine times, never dreamed that he would be like this. He was at a loss and subconsciously stood up and wanted to kneel down when the maid served tea.

Zhao Kuo just smiled at this, and he said his plan: "Brother Sha, you are not my person, so you don't have to be polite. The sea fairy, haha. I invite you here mainly for a big thing."

"Your Majesty, please speak!" Sha Baozai nodded immediately and shouted.

"Do you know the Fujian Xiaodao Society? They are also subordinates of the Tiandihui Society. They are now loyal and righteous people from our Song Dynasty. A few months ago, the Fujian Xiaodao Society raised an army to kill Qing demons and occupied the 18 counties in southern Fujian. However, the Qing soldiers were rampant. The Xiaodao Society brothers' offensive was temporarily set. Some brothers retreated from Chaozhou on land into our territory, but the other part alone defended the Xiamen City in the Hanging Island. There was not enough sea boats to evacuate, and they had been blocked by the Qing Dynasty." Zhao Kuo stared at Sha Baozai and said, "My soldiers are attacking Shaozhou and Lianzhou to clear the remnants of the Qing Dynasty in the territory. There is no force to rescue or reinforce them from land, unless these good brothers are rescued from sea, and our Song Dynasty temporarily lacks patriots and sea boats familiar with the coastal areas of Fujian, so I would like to ask you to wish me a hand.

Zhao Kuo stretched out his hand and waved his hand and said, "Xiaodao will be my great hero against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty. They revolted alone and occupied Xiamen and other places, which greatly promoted the heroic spirit of the Han people, but the Qing Dynasty was traitorous, and my power was temporarily weak and I was unable to advance on land to save righteous men and heroes from water and fire! But I was a family, how could I see these heroes being harmed by the Qing demons? So I must rescue Xiamen Xiaodao heroes! But I lack sea boats and capable sailors. Please help me!"

"Thank you for your kindness. I... Actually, there are not many armed ships, and I have no power..." Sha Baozai knew that the emperor begged him to advance to the coastal rescue mission of Xiamen. He was a little hesitant: it is not difficult to pick up people, just grasp the tide and drive the ship up, but maybe you will encounter a blockade from the Manqing Navy, which is not without risks.

Zhao Kuo looked at Sha Baozai coldly, knowing what he was thinking. How could this former underworld not know the truth that "no profit can't get up early"? He smiled and said, "Brother Sha, this time, it's not your family. I contacted many heroes at the sea, and I will give you generous rewards, and I will give you the title of Marquis of Haiyi! At the grand banquet tonight, let me ask you a good friend."

"What?" Unexpectedly, there were other pirates in Guangzhou here, Sha Baozai was stunned.

At the evening banquet, Sha Baozai was really shocked. Not only was he known as a pirate, but he also had a famous and unseen legendary figure. Could this new Guangdong emperor be the good friend and savior of the pirates?

For example, the mixed-race son of "Big Head Sheep" who is a Chinese father and mother, has also arrived. This guy said that he should be Zhao Kuo's big enemy. The pirate fleet he led was forced into the inland river due to the tough British policies. When he arrived in Guangxi, he also participated in a Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising. However, he believed that he and his subordinates could not stand the harsh military rules, rebelled against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, joined the Qing army, fought with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and later became the Guangdong Navy, and now he became the good friend of the Sea Emperor?

The famous "Ajiu" has also arrived. This woman lives in Macau. Her husband is a foreign captain. She relies on this relationship to rob merchant ships unscrupulously and act as an intermediary for pirates to sell stolen goods. She is the famous "Jiujie" among pirates.

The most powerful person is a young man. He is actually the special envoy of "Widow Sun". Widow Sun's husband turned out to be the One Piece on the coast of Guangdong. For a period of time, all pirates in Guangdong followed his command. However, after his death, the organization split again. With the British warships cleared out pirates, such a powerful pirate organization was destroyed. Although her power had declined, she was said to have quit for many years and opened a large casino in the suburbs of Guangzhou. However, Widow Sun was still the "big sister head" that all pirates respectfully called. The Sea Emperor was able to invite her special envoy to come forward, which shows the sincerity of the Song Dynasty.

These giant thieves were invited together by Zhao Kuo for only one purpose. They were asked to come to Xiamen for a maritime rescue with their outstanding navigation skills and ships.

And the members of the Tiandihui Xiaodao Society were saved.

Corruption is rampant in Guangdong, and gangs are numerous, and many pirates are also connected with the world. Seeing Zhao Kuo so righteous and hardworking to invite them to rescue his brothers, many men also respect him, including Sha Baozai.

Suddenly, the roar of "anti-Qing and restoring Ming Dynasty and saving the Xiaodao brothers" echoed in the huge banquet hall.

After the roar at this pirate feast, Zhao Kuo smiled and suppressed the roars of the group of sea heroes with both hands. He shouted loudly: "I want to introduce another hero to you."

The finale? Who is so proud?

The pirates at the banquet put down their cups and stared at Zhao Kuo who was walking towards the side door. They watched him open the door and pulled someone in from outside the door with a smile.

After hearing Zhao Kuo's introduction, all the pirates were shocked. This person was simply the nightmare of all the pirates.
