"Damn, I'm finally leaving, but I'm exhausted!" Here, as soon as the ship's boat left, Master Wuyuan Master Kang Lin Kangda sat down on the deck, his true colors revealed! The man who had been pretending to be a virtuous monk for a long time tore off his gray monk's robe, picked up the coconut ladle in the bucket next to him, scooped out a ladle of slightly salty fresh water, and began to drink it "gudong, gudong". When his personal aide, Yang Qi, saw this situation, he immediately put down what he was doing and hurried forward to fan his leader.
"By the way, why do you have to ask me to dress up as a monk? It's such a hot day and you have to wear such tight monk clothes. Are you not afraid of heating me up?" Feeling the cool breeze brought by the cattail leaf fan, Kang Lin He touched his flat head and looked at Qiao Si with a puzzled look. In his opinion, a handsome and unrestrained person like himself, even if he cannot pretend to be a handsome young man who has read poetry and books, should still pretend to be a wealthy landowner. How come he was assigned the identity of a wandering monk? ! You know, when I came to the East China Sea, in addition to treating Liu Laoliu's red wounds and selling trophies to buy urgently needed supplies for the fleet, I also wanted to go to the high-end club that Qiao Si mentioned - Nuanchun Pavilion to see the world. But now But he was forcibly given the identity of a monk, how could he be willing to do so! After all, in this era, Yangzhou Shou Ma, Datong Auntie, and West Lake Boat Girl will be famous in later generations. It would be a pity not to go and see it yourself! (I don’t know when the next time will be)
The latter, after hearing his question, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then cast his gaze on the top of this man's head. The dense short hair on it was like the spikes on a hedgehog, which looked so abrupt, weird, and strange. What I mean is that all Ming men have buns. Except for the ascetic monks who travel far and wide, we don’t have weird hairstyles like yours. If you don’t dress up as a monk, who do you want to dress up as? (Note 1)
"Uh, okay, okay, even if what you say makes sense, can we go ashore and go shopping on the dock street?" Looking up at the buns on the heads of his subordinates and allies around him, Master Wuyuan could only He touched his nose helplessly and compromised with reality. However, his bad mood did not last long. Soon Qiao Si's affirmative answer made the guy feel happy again! Compared to being able to see the original scenery of the Ming Dynasty in this world, being a fake monk for a few days is nothing. The worst he can do is grow his hair after he goes back, so that he won't have to pretend to be a monk when he comes next time!
"Bring this with you. If you don't have a ID card to prove your identity, this can help you get rid of the interrogation of the guard flag army and the Yamen officers when something happens. Remember, if you can avoid conflict with others, try not to conflict with others, especially Be careful of the strangers who suddenly approach you, as well as the half-open doors that drag you to the alleys for skin trading, secret prostitutes! These people have backers behind them, and messing with just one of them will make things very complicated! After all, you guys The purpose of coming to Donghai City this time is to sell the loot, purchase the supplies needed for the fleet, and treat Master Liu's injuries. There is no need to offend the local gangsters..." Looking at the happy faces of his allies, Qiao Si suddenly felt that he had forgotten to warn them, not to cause trouble under the eyes of the imperial officers and soldiers just because of his strong force, so as not to implicate his own chamber of commerce to wipe their ass!
"Mr. Wu, you lead people to guard the ship; Yang Qi and Jiang San (Note 2) follow me; Lao Zheng takes a few other brothers to the dock area to see if there is a blacksmith shop. If there is, buy me 50 blacksmiths. Come back with shovels, 30 hoes, 50 axes, 20 big saws, 10 iron pots, and 500 kilograms of smelted iron. Remember, I don’t want low-quality pig iron, I want their forged refined iron!” Kang Lin took the tax bill handed over by Qiao Si without looking at it. He hurriedly led his bodyguard off the pier and started heading towards the bustling dock business district. He couldn't wait to experience the authentic taste of the business district. Ming Dynasty style! On the other side of the sand ship, the sentinel commander Zheng Nansheng, who was dressed as a wealthy officer, was accompanied by several of his men. With enough silver, he looked around for a blacksmith shop that could provide a large amount of iron tools and iron materials! As for the guide, Qiao Si, they were completely ignored by them. Anyway, most of his men are now working as foremen on Shaihuo Island. They will be accompanied by capable members of the Chiyang Guards when they go ashore later, so they are not afraid. He took the opportunity to escape and then reported himself to the Ming Dynasty officials!
"Hey!" Seeing Kang Lin, who was wearing gray cloth monk robes and preaching the name of Buddha, and two guards dressed as businessmen and servants successfully passing through the gate and disappearing into the bustling crowd, Qiao Si couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and then He also took two servants sent by Chiyang and got off the sand ship, and walked quickly towards the place where his chamber of commerce was located! He wanted to give these lawless guys their identity certificates before they caused any uncontrollable trouble, and then let them finish what they had to do as soon as possible and disappear from his presence!
"Hey, the system's required mission has been detected. The first stop in the search for the mainland has been completed. Reward 300 units of various resources; 500 merit points; 1 special recruitment, 2 random recruitments; 2 clairvoyances; primary weapon box (Note 3 ) 3 pieces, including 15 matchlocks, 3 flintlock short guns, 6 flintlock spears, 15 crossbows, 15 waist knives, 3 refined waist knives, 3 refined tiger crouching cannons, and refined small franc machine 3 guns; 2 upgrade props, including 1 modified artillery card and 3 soldier upgrade orders; 3 drawing props, including one-fifth of the Cangshan ship manufacturing drawings for small ships, and 2 civilian building and residential drawings. One-third, one-third of the military construction and militia training center blueprints!" No matter how bad the mood of the shopkeeper Qiao Siqiao was at the moment, Kang Lin, who had transformed into Master Wuyuan, felt that he was in a good mood at the moment, because he had just The system not only reminded me that I had completed the required task - to find the first stop on the mainland, but also issued myself the next required main task - to establish a foothold.
"Hey, the system must select the main mission, start from the beginning, complete the reward 300 units of various resources; merit value 500 points; 3 recruitment opportunities, including 1 special recruitment opportunity, 2 immediate recruitment opportunities; 2 clairvoyance; primary weapons One box contains 30 matchlocks, 3 short flintlock guns, 6 long flintlock guns, 15 spherical grenades, 15 spears, 3 Qi family knives, 1 exquisite large Franco machine gun, 1 No. 2 Weiyuan Cannon (Note 4), 1 Xuan No. Ye Gong Shengun (Note 5); 1 primary ammunition box, containing 2,000 medium lead bullets, 20 large iron bullets, and 20 medium iron bullets ; 2 upgrade props, including 1 artillery modification card and 3 soldier upgrade orders; 3 blueprint props, including one-fifth of the Cangshan ship manufacturing blueprints for small ships, and one-fifth of the civil construction wharf blueprints , one-third of the drawings of the military construction militia training center; the conditions for completion are to have at least an actual controlled territory of no less than 3 square kilometers, and build two discovery-era buildings on it, and also successfully resist an indigenous siege... If the mission fails, 1,500 merit points and 1,500 units of various resources will be deducted!"
Lenovoing the generous rewards that can be obtained after completing the mission, the leader of Chiyang, Master Wuyuan Kang Lin, laughed so hard that his face was broken. But just when he was immersed in boundless joy and couldn't extricate himself, a hand quietly clapped his hands. He interrupted his reverie and looked up, it turned out that the noisy dockside street was here!
The first thing that jumped into the eyes of Kang Lin and his group was an archway engraved with the words "Cao Shi", with red lanterns hanging above it, and below stood several flag soldiers wearing red fat jackets and red turbans with fierce faces. They were The maintainers of order in this grass market are usually responsible for security patrols and tax collection. Occasionally, if there are any conflicts between vendors, shops and merchants, they will be the arbitrator. The leader, a short and stocky flag officer, saw that Kang Lin's trio was a strange combination. A monk holding a wooden staff with a ring and his head held high walked in the front. A man who looked like a gentleman and a man who looked like a boy actually followed suit and followed with respectful expressions. Behind them, I suddenly felt suspicious, so I took a step forward and reached out to stop them.
"Monk, there are no believers here. They are all merchants who spend their money. This is not the place you came from. Go to other places to beg for alms and give lectures! And you two, why are you following this great monk? Could it be that Seeing that the monk is rich, he wants to steal and rob!"
The three of them were watching as they were entering the harbor, but unexpectedly a guard officer suddenly appeared next to them, which shocked them all. When they came to their senses, they were surrounded by a circle of armed and flag-bearing troops. , and all of them looked evil. As long as one of them didn't answer well, they would take action to capture all of his group.
"This, this, military master, this..." Facing the fierce flag officers and soldiers, the merchant man played by Jiang San gave up. He was originally a rebel deserter from Shanxi, and he had followed Jia Liu to roar in the mountains and forests. , had fought against the army’s conquests, and now in this different world, he followed Kang Lin and became a hero on the proud sea. At this moment, he met his old enemy, and his mind went blank, and he subconsciously wanted to touch his hands to his waist. Where the long knife was hanging, his movement was quickly and quietly blocked by Master Wuyuan! The smiling leader of Kangda clasped his hands together, chanted the Buddha's name, and bowed to the little flag officer with a sinister face.
"Amitabha, this military master, this young monk is so polite here!"
Seeing the gray-clothed monk salute to him, the leading flag officer's expression softened slightly, with a slight smile on his face, and he said, "Master, he can't explain clearly, so it's up to you to explain..."
Note 1: A tribute to the classic strategy game "Age of Empires", where the Chinese hero (explorer) is a Shaolin master, so the short-haired Kang Lin was given the identity of a fake monk.
Note 2: Jiang San, a member of the advance team that intercepted the natives on the Gejia Island, is honest and honest, has rich experience in sentinel investigation, and is Xiaoqi Jia Liu's right-hand man.
Note 3: The primary weapon box and primary ammunition box are boxes that store system reward weapons and ammunition. There is a subspace inside. Once the weapons are taken out, they cannot be stored again, and the box immediately becomes an ordinary box.
Note 4, Note 5: In order to avoid everyone thinking that I am cramming the word count, the information about the Weiyuan Cannon and Ye Gong’s Divine Cannon are posted in the related works. Brothers who are interested can add me on QQ, 1811917813, to see my hand-drawn artillery pictures.
