It was not uncommon in the mid-Ming Dynasty for bandits to be recruited and given official posts.
Most of the gangsters recruited in this era returned to work as common people.
A small number of them could work in the military and security system, and none of them could be given official posts.
No matter how worthless a military commander is, his reputation is not even the slightest bit better than that of a bandit.
Strictly speaking, even if the founding of a country on the sea is successful, being the founding father of a small overseas country may not be much better than the military attache of the Ming Dynasty.
The several bandits looked at the letter of appointment and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Yang Chengzu added: "In these letters of appointment, ten people can get actual titles, and the other twenty people have empty titles.
I don't like to beat around the bush, and I like to say it openly.
With your background, if you want to make it big Official, unless it is to establish a university Otherwise, it will be very difficult.
But even if you have no merit, as long as I recommend you, you will be able to receive a peaceful salary for the rest of your life.
I have the final say on who these thirty people are.
Another thing, I can recommend five of you.
Ten people entered Jinyiwei."
He seemed to be afraid that everyone would not believe it, so he explained, "During these days, the Jin Yiwei began to expand.
Green forest heroes, rivers and lakes heroes, many of your former associates or handlers have become Jin Yiwei, serving as the eyes and ears of the court.
As long as they perform well enough, The imperial court is generous with rewards.
There are still people of mine on this island.
Otherwise, how would I know whose family members should be investigated?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of several leaders changed with shock.
The eagle claws had penetrated into the island and could also contact the people around the high-ranking officials.
Could it be that they had already received the Jin Yiwei's confession documents and become members of the imperial court?
There was a bit more suspicion between them when they looked at their companions.
An old bandit leader coughed a few times and said, "Imperial envoy, I am getting old and I don't want to be rewarded anymore.
I just want to return to the countryside and live my life as a rich man.
But you just said that someone among us is going to die.
This makes the old man a little worried.
Who knows whether he will be killed by the time, but you can't let me tie you up and give it to you to be chopped."
"You are sixty years old, with a yellow face, a short beard, and a scar on the left side of your face.
Isn't it right that your name is Ye Fan?
Originally, I wanted to see how old you are and not be as familiar with you.
Since you are here to ask questions, that's fine. , your name must be on the beheading list."
Yang Chengzu revealed the other party's identity with one word, proving that he had eyes and ears on the island and his words were not false threats.
Then he directly added this person to the dead list, which made others feel a little frightened.
And he continued: "How many times have you committed murder and swindling?
You must know it all in your mind.
Why do you think that if you put down your bgqi, the court will spare all of you from the death penalty?
It seems that if you don't put down your bgqi, the court will have nothing to do with you.
Now you are the master Dong came to seek peace, not that the imperial court asked you to come to peace.
If anyone is dissatisfied, he can fight with the officers and soldiers at sea.
Everyone will know who they are.
Who is more powerful?
Apart from anything else, in this battle of Ningbo, Xiangshan, Xiaoshan, Fenghua and other places were looted by you, and tens of thousands of civilians were killed.
Please tell me how this debt can be counted as not beheading or beheading.
I'm sorry for the laws of the imperial court, and I'm sorry for the military pay and rations provided by the children of Zhejiang.
I want to negotiate terms, right?

That's good.
Let's all fight together.
Whoever wins can mention a few more terms, no?
Is it fair?”
Seeing that both sides were about to stalemate, Yuzi smiled: "Master, don't be so angry.
We are all rough people and have never seen the world.
You are a talented man from the Ming Dynasty.
If you are as knowledgeable as us, put your own reputation on the line."
I'm sorry, this is not good.
I think you have just arrived today, so you should give the imperial envoy a clean break first.
There is no need to rush this matter."
She clapped her hands, and a female soldier walked out.
Not long after, people started bringing fruits and seafood in to set up the table.
Leng Feishuang vigilantly checked every dish and wine to make sure there was nothing wrong with it.
Yang Chengzu looked like a cosmopolitan, drinking and eating as if no one else was around.
From time to time he would accuse the dish of being too bad and not worthy of his status.
Yuzi seemed to have the unique obedience of Japanese women.
She did not get angry at the other party's attitude.
Instead, she replied with a smile, "It's very difficult for us people to eat and drink at sea.
These diets are already the best for us."
If you eat better, it will be a blessing.
In the future, if you become a good citizen, you can finally have some good food, which is our good fortune."
During the banquet, the ladies from the coastal cities danced or stretched their voices to sing some songs.
None of the pirates were in the mood to listen and only watched Xu Dong's performance.
It was up to him to make a decision whether to hit him when he fell out or to let it go.
Seeing Xu Dong watching the performance attentively, and discussing a few words with the imperial envoy from time to time, it seemed that he really only talked about romance and not serious business, so he had no choice but to lower his head and drink.
When the banquet was about to end, Yuzi ordered the female soldiers to lead everyone to rest.
What was prepared for them was a relatively independent large courtyard.
The rooms were beautifully restored.
Considering that they had not been in Shuangyu for a long time, this kind of house was almost the top residence on the island.
The area is not small, with more than a hundred guards here, it is not crowded at all.
After everyone moved in, Yuzi Yingying bowed and said, "Master Imperial Envoy, this little girl has something to say that is not suitable to be said on such an occasion.
If you are willing to honor me, can you take the time to come to my courtyard to talk about it?"
"Your yard witch, what are you trying to do?"
Hao Qingqing's almond-shaped eyes were filled with rage, and she reached for the single knife in her waist, but Yang Chengzu grabbed her hand.
"Qingqing, what are you doing?
We are here as guests, how can we do this?"
It’s disrespectful to the master.
Madam Xu wants to ask me to talk, that’s fine, we can talk slowly, and we’ll all rest here and come back when I’m done.”
Yuzi also saluted several women repeatedly, "Don't worry, beautiful ladies, the little girl's yard is very close to you.
If you are not worried, you can bring all the guards over.
I promise that I have no ill intentions towards the imperial envoy.
In fact, , If anyone wants to be an imperial envoy, he must step over my body first."
The attitude she expressed was very sincere, and Yang Chengzu also showed an attitude of absolute reassurance.
Others could not say anything, but only told him to be careful and send a signal if anything happened.

After the person left, Yaoniang couldn't help but said bitterly: "Really, she must have been fascinated by that little witch.
The two of them must have done something shameless when they left."
Leng Feishuang shook his head, "The negotiation just now failed.
This Princess Yuzi must go to continue the negotiation with General Yang.
You stay here, I will follow you secretly to take a look."
Yaoniang and a few others wanted to follow, but Leng Feishuang blocked them all with just one sentence: "Who will take responsibility after being discovered?"
Seeing her figure rise and fall three or five times, she was adorned with Yang Chengzu from a distance.
Yaoniang and others could only admit that her skills were inferior to others.
She just hoped in her heart that it would be best for her to ruin her husband's good deeds, not to let him have anything to do with the witch, and to block this cold beauty's own path
