Chapter 806: Extraneous Branches

The big black ship was like a monster on the sea, and a shiny heavy cannon was aimed at the silver desert, and the people there could be smashed into meat sauce at the first order.

The tiger girl in a bullfighting suit stood at the bow of the boat, her fleshy face full of seriousness. When she saw the bloody scene on the beach, she immediately felt a wave of anger in her heart, and decisively ordered a warning.

"Aunt Tiger Girl, what are you going to do?"

A three-masted gunboat came from behind, and Qiao Yifeng, who was standing on the bow of the ship, asked loudly to the tiger girl.

Thanks to his outstanding exploits last time, Qiao Yifeng has jumped from a small Xiangshan Qianhu to the commander of Guanghaiwei. Of course, he, a thousand households with no background, wanted to be promoted to command, so he naturally had to help Lin Haoran.

This time, he led Guanghaiwei to Luzon in the name of pursuing the Japanese invaders, but in fact he was ordered to protect the fleet.

Hu Niu turned her head to look at Qiao Yifeng, her face still had a little anger and pointed to the beach and said crisply: "Didn't you see it?" Those scoundrels are bullying! ”

"Aunt Hu Niu, those officers and soldiers who look like Luzon at first glance, let's leave it alone!" Qiao Yifeng naturally saw it, but he persuaded him.

"What's the matter? I just want to take care of it, they can't bully people like this! Hu Niu insisted on going her own way, and immediately gave another order: "Mu Ying, let's bring people over, we can't let them bully people!" ”

"Yes!" Mu Ying naturally obeyed the order, and even beckoned a group of Haidong people to go.

Ay......

When Yang Chunlai and the others saw this scene on the accompanying boat, they wanted to dissuade the tiger girl, but they could only sigh softly.

After all these years of getting along and observing, I still don't know what kind of person Hu Niu is, and it is impossible to ignore this kind of thing. But it would be unwise to choose to intervene in this matter.

The Nanyang regime was very loose, with many small states and countless chieftains.

In the case of Luzon, for example, King Suleiman of Luzon was not the sole owner of the island, and his territory was north of Manila, while the southern and eastern fronts of Luzon were ruled by a dozen chieftains.

Luzon now adopted a political system of tribal autonomy, with a high degree of autonomy for each tribal leader, and the tribes were required to pay annual taxes to King Suleiman at the behest of the king.

As far as the eye can see, this is undoubtedly a conflict between the king and the tribe.

If the tiger girl helps the Luzon king's side, it will undoubtedly be conducive to the advancement of the negotiations. But the tiger girl, who has a full sense of justice, plans to help the tribe, which is undoubtedly to offend the rhythm of the king of Luzon.

As soon as he thought of this, Yang Chunlai couldn't help but feel worried, and felt a shadow hanging over his head.

The deterrence on this side had an effect, and the big boats could not land on the beach in front, and more than a dozen small boats headed towards the beach.

Seeing the cannonballs flying with obvious warning intentions, and then more than a dozen small boats heading towards here, the soldiers did not dare to act rashly, and they faintly became vigilant.

It was not that there were no Ming ships coming north, but such a large fleet was undoubtedly the first time, and with their strength, they could easily annihilate their gang.

"Grandpa, what should I do?" The girl Nina looked at the indistinguishable friend from foe, and also felt a sense of unease in her heart.

"This must be the fleet of the Great Ming! Daming is a benevolent and righteous country, and we are saved this time! The old man's eyes welled up with tears, and he said with a rather optimistic look.

It didn't take long for more than a dozen ships to land. It just surprised everyone, although there were many generals in beautiful armor, but the leader was a little girl in royal costumes.

Of course, Luzon, who is in a more hierarchical area, cannot be despised because the other party is a little girl, and even more fearful.

"Luzon General Mulitu meets the envoy!" The general Mu Litu, who was wearing light armor on his upper body, saluted respectfully, and had already concluded that the identity of the tiger girl was very amazing.

Hu Niu listened to the translation of the person next to her, looked at him with a good attitude, frowned and asked crisply: "Since you are the general of Luzon, why do you want to bully them?" ”

"Honorable envoy, this person from the North Mountain Department has not paid taxes for three consecutive years, and I am also acting on orders!" Mu Litu knew that Daming was a benevolent country, and he was not surprised by Hu Niu's questioning, and knelt down on one knee to explain.

Hey?

When Hu Niu heard this explanation, her face softened slightly, and then she turned her head to the little old man and asked, "Is he right?" You didn't pay your taxes, that's why they arrested you? ”

"Honorable envoy, there is nothing wrong with this, but it is not that we resist taxes, but that our food and belongings have really been looted by pirates!" The little old man explained with a bitter face.

After learning the truth of the facts, although she thinks these people are very bad, she also knows the rules of paying taxes. Just like the Leizhou Mansion and Guangzhou Mansion under his brother's rule, if everyone doesn't pay taxes, then it will be difficult for his brother to do it.

After hesitating for a moment, she asked Mu Litu again: "They were looted by pirates, and they have no money to pay taxes, can't you tolerate it?" ”

"I'm just doing what I'm told!" Muritu replied bitterly.

The people of the North Mountains also knew that there was indeed something wrong with them, that is, they looked at the tiger girl, and their fate was really pinned on this little girl.

Hu Niu thought for a moment, then raised her head and said earnestly to Mulitu: "I have come to see your king this time, and I will go to explain and intercede with him, so that the king can exempt them from taxes." If it really doesn't work, I'll help them pay the tax, and you let them go first, can that be? ”

"Good!" Mu Litu had long heard of Da Ming's benevolence, and now seeing that a little girl had such a benevolent heart, he didn't have the slightest intention of killing in his heart, so he happily agreed.

After this brief negotiation, the two sides undoubtedly reached an agreed solution and brought the problem to Manila for resolution.

"Envoy, I am the leader of the Beishan tribe, can I follow you to Manila and explain to the king in person?" The little old man, Bucky, stepped forward and saluted with a request.

Hu Niu glanced at him, nodded happily and said, "Yes!" ”

After a short rest, the fleet quickly set sail again and headed straight for Manila Bay, located in central Luzon.

Call!

Seeing that things did not deteriorate, Yang Chunlai and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If it is really for the life and death of this tribe, the plantation plan is blocked, which is undoubtedly a move that does not outweigh the losses.

I have to say that this time the tiger girl is in charge of the fleet, and I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.
