It's not that there have been no Xiyi ships before, and there have been one or two, and the ships are not big, and they are here to do business. But today three big ships came at once, followed by four hard sailing ships. With so many ships, the first impression is that the Xiyi people are not going to occupy this place.

The fleet was getting closer and closer to the dock, and some people saw the big red Mingzi flag hanging on the ship, as well as the sun, moon and king flags.

"It's our Daming's ship!" Someone shouted.

The people, who were so frightened that they even felt a little desperate, immediately cheered.

"Daming fleet!"

"It's the king's fleet!"

However, some people still expressed doubts: "Why does Wang Shi's fleet have ships of the Xiyi people?" ”

The fleet docked at the pier, and Wang Xinyu took the soldiers and walked off the ship.

It wasn't until they saw an official wearing a Ming official uniform disembarking from the boat with a group of Ming soldiers that the people on the dock were relieved and confirmed that it was their own people. But when they saw a group of Spanish soldiers in fine plate armor and halberds coming down from behind, these Chinese felt a little frightened.

I don't know who took the lead, and the people on the dock knelt down to the Ming official.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Hurry up! Wang Xinyu stood on the dock and looked around, "This official is an envoy sent by the King of Yanping, and he came to Borneo to do things for us Han people!" I heard that there is no government in Borneo, and there is no army of our own, and when you are bullied, no one comes out to call the shots for you! This official is now in charge of everyone! Everyone, if anyone is bullied by the indigenous people here, you can report it to this official! This official must personally lead the army and give us Han people a head! ”

As soon as these words came out, those Chinese who had just been looted outside the city, and some Chinese who had been forced to give up their land outside the city and beg for a living inside the city, surrounded one after another.

"General, call the shots for the grass people! The grass people have no land to plant, and the year's harvest has been robbed of the raw fan! ”

"General! The grass people's family has been killed, please let the general call the shots for the grass people! ”

"My lord, the grass people don't even dare to plant the fields, and those hateful creatures come to harass them before the harvest!"

Wang Xinyu made a gesture and motioned for everyone to be quiet: "Fathers and fellow villagers! If you have any grievances, come one by one! General Ben will avenge you! Although you are far away from your homeland, you are also our Han people and our compatriots! I am determined that Xibo will never watch my compatriots being bullied! For those robbers who slaughtered and mutilated our compatriots, I will definitely make them pay tenfold, a hundredfold price! Blood debt must be paid with blood! ”

At this moment, a girl with messy hair, tear stains on her face, and her clothes torn in several places suddenly rushed out of the crowd and knelt in front of Wang Xinyu: "Lord Dingxibo, the people's daughter begs you!" You must save the husband of the people's daughter! The husband of the folk girl was arrested for the sake of the folk girl! ”

This girl is the girl Liu who Ajiang saved at the cost of her own life. At this time, she had already regarded Ajiang as her husband.

Looking at the girl who was kneeling on the ground and bleeding from her forehead, Wang Xinyu hurriedly helped her up: "Girl, get up!" Tell me where your husband is. General Ben will send troops immediately! ”

Miss Liu finished talking about what had just happened with tears in her eyes, and knelt down and kowtowed again: "General, the people's daughter begs you!" As long as she can save her husband, the folk girl is willing to make cattle and horses for the general! ”

"Does anyone know where the tribe that captured Ajiang is?" Wang Xinyu looked around at the locals and asked.

But the Han people present all shook their heads, and none of them knew where. In fact, there are a few people in the crowd who know that they have made deals with Shuban, and after getting Shuban's permission, they will mine gold here, so they are very familiar with the situation here. But these people didn't dare to stand up and speak, they were worried that if they said the address of Shengfan, if they went to pan for gold in the future, those Shengfan would definitely retaliate against themselves and intercept them halfway, so they wouldn't want to go to gold panning in the future.

"Miss Liu, do you know where those students live?" Wang Xinyu asked.

Miss Liu shook her head: "The folk girls don't know, those people who come and go in a hurry, and the people in our village don't know where they are." ”

Pan Ying, who was standing behind Wang Xinyu, whispered in Wang Xinyu's ear: "My son can find those students!" ”

"You? Can you find out? Wang Xinyu was very surprised.

Pan Ying nodded: "Yes, my son also has business dealings with the acquaintances here." In fact, these students also bully the familiar fans here.,As long as we go to find a reliable cooked fan to lead the way.,Then we will definitely be able to find the group of students who caught Ajiang! ”

"By the time we go, Ajiang will already be dead!" Wang Xinyu said disappointedly.

Pan Ying said: "I just heard Miss Liu say this, Ah Jiang's life will not be in danger for the time being. Ben Gongzi once heard that those cannibals were very cautious about the warriors they captured, and they thought that drinking the blood of warriors could increase their courage and strength! And to kill a warrior, you need to kill it in a festival, first sacrifice it to the sky with a human head, and then drink blood. Although Ben Gongzi doesn't know when they are holidaying, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and Ben Gongzi thinks that on the night of the full moon, it must also be their festival! ”

"Then hurry up and find a familiar fan to lead the way!"

"Steward Liu!" Pan Ying turned to Liu Qi and said, "You immediately take a team of people and go to Xinbang to find the one called the eighth junior high, hurry!" ”

"Yes! Little boy! Liu Qi turned around and greeted the thirty family members he brought.

Thirty servants, with flintlock pistols on their shoulders and swords at their waists, received orders and immediately trotted away in a neat formation. Although he is a family member, he is neatly dressed and well-armed, which shows that Pan Liu has not spent less money on the family.

Pan Ying whispered in Wang Xinyu's ear: "General Wang, how are these family members of this son?" ”

Wang Xinyu only felt that this Pan Ying was blowing like an orchid, and there was a very comfortable fragrance on her body. But the more a man is like this, the more Wang Xinyu hates it, because he is not good at being a man! So he didn't pay attention to Pan Ying anymore, but walked into the crowd of Han people and asked them long and short questions.

The Han people all felt that this General Wang was very approachable to the Han people, but when he spoke, he looked majestic, and everyone had a good impression of him. But looking at the boy behind Wang Xinyu, I vaguely felt that this General Wang was a good man? But it doesn't matter if General Wang is a man or not, as long as he can help himself get ahead, he will be a good official.

After the army came ashore, they went to the north gate of Pontianak City and began to build a barracks.

This time, Wang Xinyu brought 50 personal soldiers, 100 Spanish mercenaries, and 200 sailors who went ashore, plus the Pan family and the sailors with weapons, a total of 450 people, more than 100 bows and arrows, 50 flintlock pistols, more than 100 arquebuses, 100 halberds, and other short weapons. The pro-soldiers and mercenaries all had iron armor, and the sailors, Pan family members and sailors all had wooden armor.

In the evening, the barracks were built, and Liu Qi also returned with his family, and also brought back a Sulu acquaintance.

Miss Liu and her mother, Aunt Liu, were also taken to the barracks, along with some villagers whose families had suffered.

Through Pan Ying's translation, the Sulu native named Chu Ba briefly introduced the group of savages who went down the mountain to rob during the day today.

"These people lived near Mandor, and their leader was Putra, and their tribe numbered more than three hundred, of whom more than eighty were warriors who were able to fight well, and the rest were women, children, old and weak. Not only do these people often come to plunder you Han Chinese, but our tribe also suffers often. We have so few people that we can't beat them. The eighth year of junior high school introduced.

Wang Xinyu asked Pan Ying to ask: "The captured Han warrior won't be executed by them immediately, right?" ”

"No!" Chu Ba replied, "There are three days left, that is, the night of the full moon, and they will keep the Han warriors to worship the gods!" Like us, they believe that the night of the full moon is the day when the moon god comes out, and that the best sacrifices are needed to sacrifice to the heavens. And the bravest person who captures the other party is the best sacrifice. ”

After listening to Pan Ying's translation, Wang Xinyu looked at Chu Ba coldly: "You won't also use living people to sacrifice to the sky, right?" ”

Pan Ying replied for Chu Ba: "They won't, they are civilized acquaintances, and we do it with them." There are also those Han people who come to pan for gold, and they are also the gold mines they lead the way to find. And there's a war between them and those students. ”

"As long as we Han people are not harmed, we can cooperate!" Wang Xinyu said, "We welcome honest business." If we rob our property and kill our Han Chinese, we will stop killing and counter violence with violence! ”

In the eighth day of the first month, he drew a sketch for Wang Xinyu and them, and he didn't know how to use a pen, so he drew a simple map on the ground with a branch on it, with the specific location of the Putra tribe. As can be seen from the sketches, although those raw weapons are very rudimentary, the terrain of the cottage is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is only one way to go up. If you attack hard from the front, the natives above will be smashed down with rolling logs and stones, and even the best weapons will not be able to attack it.

When Wang Xinyu asked him to draw a map of the interior of the tribal cottage, this junior eighth shook his head, saying that he had never been inside and did not know the situation inside.

"With such a diagram, we can act! We'll be off early tomorrow morning! Wang Xinyu made arrangements.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, the Ming army had breakfast. Except for a part of the sailors and sailors who were left behind, the rest of the people set out to exterminate the Putra tribe. The army that went out on the expedition consisted of three hundred soldiers, fifty archers, one hundred musketeers, and fifty sword and shield men, in addition to a hundred Spanish halberders.

"Wait for me!" Someone shouted from behind.

Liu Qi turned his head and smiled bitterly: "It's a little boy again!" ”

Wang Xinyu turned his head to look and saw Pan Ying wearing a suit of armor, two flintlock short guns hanging from her waist, and a sword on her back. looks like a heroic and heroic woman. It's a pity, he's a man, how good it would be if it was a woman!

"Little boy, you don't know martial arts, let's go back!" Liu Qi advised.

Pan Ying listened to her chest and patted the short gun on her waist: "What can't you go?" With these two guys, Ben Gongzi can also kill! ”

"Don't make a fuss, you shot twice, what next?" Wang Xinyu sneered, "Waiting to be stabbed to death by a spear?" I can't afford that. ”

"No, is there still this sword? It's really not good, you can always protect Ben Gongzi, right? ”

Wang Xinyu agreed in his mouth, but secretly made a color to Li Rui in the back.

Li Rui walked up and hit Pan Ying on the back of the neck with a knife, knocking her unconscious. Then let Liu Qi's two family members carry her back to the camp.

"This ......" Liu Qi was dumbfounded.

"This is for the good of your little boy! If something goes wrong with him, General Ben can't afford to take responsibility. ”

The expedition marched through the riverside plains and into the mountains.

There was the eighth day of the first month as a guide, and the Ming army skillfully walked through the mountains and forests.

The mosquitoes here are very vicious, and a bite is a big bag; There are also leeches on the muddy ground, which may burrow into the trouser tube at any time to suck blood; There are also unknown poisonous insects, which turn a large red patch when they bite. But these are not the most terrible, the most terrible is the poisonous snake hiding in the grass, once accidentally bitten, it is basically hopeless.

However, the march went well, except for a few soldiers who were bitten by mosquitoes and poisonous insects, and some were sucked by leeches, no one was bitten by poisonous snakes. Because the eighth year of junior high who walked in front used a wooden stick to open the way, and from time to time poisonous snakes were driven away by him.

"Shh Suddenly, the eighth day of the first month stopped, turned around and motioned for everyone to stop advancing.

"What's wrong?" Liu Qi stepped forward and asked softly in the indigenous language.

Chu Hachi pointed to the woods in front of him and said, "There are their people over there, sentry in front." If we are found out by them, it will be difficult to do it. ”

Wang Xinyu motioned to Li Rui and Daniel, who had changed his Chinese name to Wang Defeng, and asked them to sneak up and kill the two sentry Sulu Shengfan.

A native of Sulu armed with a spear is on a tree, condescendingly sentry. Suddenly, there was a sound of crossbow shots, and a sharp arrow pierced the native's throat, and the body fell from the tree. Li Rui, who had just finished shooting an arrow, threw away the crossbow machine, rushed forward with an arrow step, and caught the corpse that was about to land.

Another indigenous man hiding behind the bushes heard the movement and was about to send out an alarm signal, but Wang Defeng, who came up from behind, covered his mouth and twisted his neck.

As a result, the Sulu sentinel, Wang Xinyu led the army and approached the cottage in front.

At this moment, Liu Qi suddenly heard a shout in the indigenous language: "There is an enemy!" ”
