When Perrault woke up, the first thing he saw was a pair of black high-top leather shoes that he had never seen before, and he slowly looked his head away.

It was a pair of slender and straight legs and a light blue uniform, and a beautiful and handsome woman was squatting beside her, looking at her with some curiosity, and next to him stood a group of sergeants with firearms and evil faces.

Looking around, Perrault found that the hundreds of soldiers under his command were kneeling on the ground one by one with their heads in their hands, and their weapons had already been thrown aside.

Seeing this, Perrault's heart was cold.

"It's over!"

At this moment, the woman asked in Luzon, which she was not very proficient in but could still understand, "Who are you?" ”

If he had seen such a beautiful woman on weekdays, Perrault would have accosted him while whistling, but today he was not in the mood at all, and he trembled and said, "I am...... I'm the tax collector of Laoag, you ...... Who are you? ”

The woman said lightly: "I am Liu Xiang, the deputy governor of the Fujian Navy Division of the Ming Dynasty, and now there is the king of Luzon, Morgan, and the Spaniards who are in cahoots to persecute my Ming merchants, and I am ordered by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to crusade against the countries that are not subject to the Ming Dynasty." ”

Liu Xiang's words were a little crepe, which was very different from what she said on weekdays, and Yang Feng on the side laughed a little secretly.

As soon as he heard that Da Ming was going to crusade against Luzon, although Perrault was only a small tax officer, he also knew that this would be a great disaster for Luzon, and he was about to jump up in a hurry, and the two sergeants who had been prepared for a long time saw that they grabbed his arm and twisted it in his back, and kicked him hard in the back of his knee, knocking him to his knees again.

Pero, who was trampled on the ground with two pairs of feet, hissed and roared as hard as he could: "As the Heavenly Empire, how can Da Ming do such a thing to bully the weak, I don't accept it, I don't accept it!" ”

At this time, a voice rang out beside him: "Phew...... You now know that the Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, why didn't you think of this when you bullied us before, but now you have moved out of the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, I'm phew! ”

Everyone turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man with more than a dozen men coming to Perrault, pointing at him and shouting loudly.

"Perrault, I think you are a coward who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard, and just now you forcibly wanted to collect three thousand taels of silver from us."

After speaking, the middle-aged man knelt down in front of Liu Xiang and cried: "Ming businessman Li Qi Dubai saw Lord Admiral, these Luzon people have bullied our Ming businessman, my lord, you have to make decisions for the small people!" ”

Seeing Shopkeeper Li kneeling down, all the guys behind him knelt down in unison and said, "My lord, you have to call the shots for the grass people!" ”

At this time, there were also a lot of businessmen dressed up in Ming Kingdom on the dock one after another, and after seeing Liu Xiang on the dock and the Ming warship that was docking, many people showed surprise on their faces, and soon rushed towards the dock, and more and more people went by as time went by.

Liu Xiang's thick brows frowned slightly, and he asked with some curiosity: "Who are you, how can you recognize me?" ”

Shopkeeper Li said respectfully: "Now whoever is begging for a living at sea does not know the prestige of Vice Admiral Liu, you followed Jiang Ninghou to Nanyang, swept away Zheng Zhilong and the pirates in the Nanyang area, and then expelled the Dutch entrenched in Taiwan. ”

Everyone loves to listen to sycophants, although Liu Xiang is not a person who likes flattery, but after listening to the words of the shopkeeper Li, his originally straight face also showed a smile.

She turned around and pointed at Yang Feng: "Shopkeeper Li, since you know my identity, why don't you see Jiang Ning here?" ”

"Ah...... Jiang Ninghou! ”

Shopkeeper Li was startled at first, and then after seeing Yang Feng, who was standing next to Liu Xiang wearing a green military uniform like an ordinary sergeant, his face showed a look of surprise, and he knelt down again with a puff and shouted: "Grass people Li Qidi knocks on the Hou Ye, I wish the Hou Ye all the peace!" ”

"The grass people are waiting to see the Hou Ye!"

For a while, all the merchants and sailors of the Ming Kingdom on the dock knelt on the ground.

To say that in the past few years, the most famous person in Fujian, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang coastal areas is none other than our Yang Daguan Yang Feng.

Not to mention the reopening of the sea ban in Fujian, it is said that he rebuilt the Fujian Navy, first exterminated Zheng Zhilong, a group of pirates who had been crisscrossing the South Seas for many years, and then drove the Dutch out of Taiwan, and then took back Macao from the Portuguese, and some time ago destroyed the Manchu Tartars, the biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty, so much credit is enough to make his reputation shocking the entire Ming Dynasty.

Seeing the person who fell to his knees in an uproar, Yang Feng first glared at Liu Xiang, then raised his hands and said loudly: "Shopkeeper Li, all the fathers and villagers of the Ming Dynasty, please get up!" ”

"Thank you, Master Hou!" After hearing Yang Feng's words, Li Qidi and the others stood up.

After everyone got up, Yang Feng turned his head and asked the shopkeeper Li, who was standing respectfully in front of him, "Do these Luzon people really persecute our Ming merchants on weekdays?" ”

Shopkeeper Li and the guys behind him were surprised and delighted when they learned that the young man in front of him was really Jiang Ninghou, who was a powerful Ming, and they didn't dare to slack off after hearing his question, so they quickly replied respectfully: "So that Master Hou can learn that Zheng Da has been in charge of Zheng Da since he hit half a year ago...... No, it was Zheng Zhilong who was exterminated by the imperial court sailors, and the attitude of the Luzon people towards our Ming merchants began to gradually become arrogant. ”

Yang Feng was a little stunned when he heard this, "There is such a thing, why is this?" ”

"That's the Hou Ye ......"

Li Qidi hurriedly told the story one by one.

It turned out that when Zheng Zhilong was there, his influence not only radiated to the Fusang area of the Ming Dynasty, but even the Nanyang was also his sphere of influence.

But since Zheng Zhilong was destroyed by Yang Feng, the pressure that originally pressed on the heads of the Nanyang countries disappeared at once, coupled with the intentional or unintentional instigation of the Spaniards entrenched in the land of Luzon, Luzon began to suppress the Ming merchants.

Of course, at first they didn't dare to go too far, but with the continuous temptation, after the Ming merchants retreated step by step, the Luzon Kingdom gradually tasted the sweetness, Zheng Zhilong was really finished, and there was really no one to stand up for them, so the Luzon Kingdom set off a feast of looting and exploiting the Ming merchants, which is why today Perot forced Li to hand over three thousand taels of silver.

After listening to Li Qidi's 1510 explanation, Liu Xiang also nodded and said: "That's true, when Zheng Zhilong was still there in the past, their fleet was all over the South Seas, not to mention Luzon, even the Spaniards didn't dare to push too much on the Ming merchant ships flying the flag issued by Zheng Zhilong. ”

Yang Feng couldn't help but feel like he couldn't cry or laugh, feeling that he had destroyed Zheng Zhilong and had such sequelae.

However, this incident also reminded Yang Feng that the West is now in the period of great exploration, and Westerners are frantically reaching out to the world through their tentacles.

From this incident, it can be seen that just a few months after Zheng Zhilong was wiped out, the Luzon State began to adopt a strategy of oppression and exploitation against the Ming merchants, although there was the instigation of the Spaniards, but it was not the greed of the Luzon people.

"Master Hou, what should these Luzon people do?" Just when Yang Feng was silent, Liu Xiang on the side asked on the side.

"These Luzonians?"

Yang Feng looked at Pero who was kneeling on the ground and the Luzon soldiers who had abandoned their weapons and surrendered, his eyes rolled, of course he couldn't let them go, since these Luzon people dared to bully the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, they had to be prepared to bear the consequences of the thunder and wrath of the Ming Dynasty.

But if you kill them all, it's not good, if you kill them all as soon as you come, and then you are instigated by the Spaniards, you will end up making enemies everywhere.

After thinking about it, Yang Feng said: "That's good, let's reduce this person named Pero and these Luzon soldiers to slaves and sell them to those merchants, I think those Ming merchants will like these slaves very much." ”

"Hiss......"

Rao is Liu Xiang has been on the sea for all these years, and he was also taken aback by Yang Feng's move.

This trick is really too poisonous, Perot and these soldiers of Luzon have harmed the merchants of the Ming Dynasty for most of the year, if they are all reduced to slaves and sold to these merchants, what will happen to them Liu Xiang does not need to think about it. It is absolutely not an exaggeration to describe it as not thinking as good as one's body.

But Liu Xiang doesn't plan to say anything about this, anyway, she doesn't have a half-dime relationship with her, and she can make a lot of money by selling these people, so why not do it.

Sure enough, when Liu Xiang announced that Perot and these Luzon soldiers would all be reduced to slaves and sold, the Ming merchants on the dock were all in a sensation, and many people looked at the Luzon soldiers kneeling on the ground, and their eyes seemed to be flashing with a golden light.

Especially Shopkeeper Li, as soon as Liu Xiang's words were finished, he almost jumped up to her and said loudly: "My lord, how much is this Perot, can you sell him to the grass people?" ”

Liu Xiang was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Yes, if you want, you can give three hundred taels of silver." ”

Three hundred taels of silver to buy a slave, to be honest, is too expensive, even in the Ming Dynasty, if you want to buy a slave who has signed a death deed, it is only thirty to sixty taels of silver, this price should actually be sky-high.

And Liu Xiang shouted out that this price was actually a joke, but what was unexpected was that Shopkeeper Li nodded without hesitation and said: "Okay, it's just three hundred taels of silver, and this silver is out of the grass people." ”
