Although a typhoon destroyed Xu Weixue's high spirits, he was not defeated.
Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future! Xu Weixue firmly believed that since I was able to escape the typhoon, I would definitely become rich and powerful in the future.
With this belief, Xu Weixue, Xu Hai and other survivors, drove more than 30 surviving pirate ships to Hizen Province, Japan, and found the Japanese connections he had accumulated when he was under Wang Zhi's command - the Matsuura family, the daimyo of Hirado Province in Hizen Province (a typical Japanese pirate). With his superficial friendship and the promise of huge profits, he impressed the head of the Matsuura family and borrowed 3,000 taels of gold and 300 powerful Japanese soldiers from the Matsuura family.
So Xu Weixue made a comeback, recruited soldiers and quickly formed another group of Japanese pirates.
However, Xu Weixue is really not fit to be a leader. He lacks ability, is short-sighted, and has bad luck.
After his comeback, Xu Weixue's life was not going well. During his several pirate activities, he either encountered the Ming army or encountered storms. He was even robbed by other Japanese pirates twice. After these several times, Xu Weixue lost all his money.
In fact, pirates also have costs. You need to prepare ships, weapons, and smuggled goods, all of which are costs. In addition, it is impossible to recruit pirates just by love, so you also have to pay them food and wages.
Xu Weixue, who lost all his money, was exhausted and unable to continue.
The worst thing is that the three thousand taels of gold and three hundred Japanese pirates he borrowed from the Matsuura family have become twelve thousand taels of gold after interest, and this does not include the commission of the three hundred Japanese pirates. The debts owed by others can be delayed, but the debts owed by the Matsuura family must be repaid. The Matsuura family is a real Japanese pirate! They kill without blinking an eye! They are extremely cruel! If you don't pay your debt, they will kill you.
With only one day left before the repayment deadline for the Matsuura family, Xu Weixue and Xu Hai came to visit.
On the way, Xu Hai asked Xu Weixue, "Uncle, we lost all our money and have no money left. How can we repay the Songura family?"
Xu Weixue said with confidence and maturity, "Don't worry, nephew. I have a good plan. Not only will we not have to worry about the debt this time, we can even get gold, silver and samurai support from the Matsuura family, so that you and I can make a comeback."
Xu Weixue's confidence and calmness made Xu Hai put his worries aside. He thought that maybe his uncle had a special relationship with the Matsuura family, and there must be some relationship that he was not aware of, such as a life-saving grace or something.
However, Xu Hai thought about the beginning and the result, but he never expected the process.
The head of the Matsuura family met with the uncle and nephew Xu Weixue and Xu Hai, and got straight to the point, asking them to repay the money as agreed.
Xu Weixueyan didn't have a single penny.
The head of the Matsuura family was furious and ordered the samurai to capture Xu Weixue and Xu Hai and kill them to pay off the debt.
Xu Hai was stunned when he saw this. What the hell is wrong? Doesn’t my uncle have a special relationship with the head of the Matsuura family? ! How come I heard that he has to kill someone to pay off the debt when there is no money to pay? ! This relationship is not even as good as paper! Didn’t he say that not only will he not have to worry about the debt, but he can also get more financial support? ! This is not the expected script at all.
However, Xu Weixue seemed to have anticipated this situation long ago, and he was not panicked or confused at all.
Before the samurai from the Matsuura family entered the door, Xu Weixue knelt down quickly.
"Your Highness Matsuura, please listen to me. We Chinese have a saying that victory and defeat are common in the military! Another saying is that failure is the mother of success! I, Xu Weixue, have been unlucky recently and have suffered a series of defeats, but failure is the mother of success, and victory is just around the corner! Please give me another chance, Matsuura family head, and I, Xu Weixue, will repay you generously!"
Xu Weixue knelt on the ground, speaking generously to the head of the Matsuura family with an expression of unyielding determination despite defeat.
The head of the Matsuura family looked at Xu Weixue with disdain with a wolf-like gaze. He snorted and turned his head to look outside the door, as if he was about to urge the samurai to take action quickly.
"Your Highness Matsuura."
At the critical moment, Xu Weixue shouted "Head of the Matsuura family" again and looked at Xu Hai at the same time.
Why do I have such a bad feeling? ! Xu Hai shuddered when Xu Weixue looked at him like that.
"Your Highness Songpu, since I started as a pirate, my entire family has been killed by the Ming court. Only my nephew Xu Hai lives with me. This nephew is my only relative. I mortgage him here. I hope Your Highness Songpu can lend me another 3,000 taels of gold. I, Xu Weixue, will repay Your Highness tenfold!"
Xu Weixue pointed at Xu Hai, with tears in his eyes, and spoke emotionally to the head of the Matsuura family.
It is so heartbreaking to see it and makes one cry when listening to it!
"good!"
The head of the Matsuura family nodded.
Xu Weixue did what he said to Xu Hai when he came. Not only did he not have to worry about the debt, but he also got a loan from the head of the Matsuura family again and made a comeback! But... ... poor Xu Hai became a hostage of the Matsuura family.
"This is such a fucking betrayal to my nephew!" Under the surveillance of two Matsuura family warriors, Xu Hai returned to his humble home with a leaking roof and drafty windows. He took a bite of the leftovers from the Matsuura family and couldn't help but curse inwardly.
This is not the first time that I have been cheated by my uncle Xu Weixue!
The first time Xu Hai was cheated by his uncle Xu Weixue was five years ago! At that time, Xu Hai was a monk in Hupao Temple, which is located on the beautiful lake west of Hangzhou. His Buddhist name was "Pu Jing". He was good at cheating and deceiving people. He was very popular in Hupao Temple and lived a comfortable life. He was a famous monk in the local area, known as "Mingshan Monk" or "Mingshan Monk". One day, his uncle Xu Weixue came to him and said to him, what is the future of being a monk? Your uncle is now doing a promising job, which is very popular and hot. Come with me. I can guarantee that you will have a promising future, be very popular and hot like me. Xu Hai hesitated again and again, but he couldn't stand the persuasion of his uncle Xu Weixue and followed him.
From then on, he became a pirate who was in danger of losing his life every day and his head was hanging on his belt.
Well, being a pirate, from a certain perspective, does have a bright future, the sea is vast and boundless... ... Well, calling the wind and calling the rain, from a certain perspective, is not false, the sea is windy and rainy... ... If you are popular, then you can be considered as a pirate, and ordinary people are really scared when they see you... ...
The second time he was tricked by his uncle Xu Weixue was when he instigated Xu Hai to assassinate Wang Zhi! Uncle Xu Weixue wanted to replace Wang Zhi, and he instigated Xu Hai to assassinate Wang Zhi more than once. Last time, Uncle Xu Weixue took advantage of the rumor that Wang Zhi wanted to take Wang Cuiqiao as a concubine, and finally instigated Xu Hai. However, because Uncle Xu Weixue talked nonsense after drinking, the assassination that was still being prepared was directly leaked, and Wang Zhi caught him red-handed, causing Xu Hai to almost lose his head.
This is the third time! This time, he was directly used as collateral by his uncle for the loan. I have heard of people mortgaging their wives, sons and daughters, but I have never heard of mortgaging their nephews! This is a deadly mortgage! If his uncle cannot repay the loan on time, he can still run away, but he will definitely be beheaded by the angry Matsuura family head in the first place!
