Chapter 517 Brothers Meet
Dong Liang initially felt that as long as he helped these Chinese workers, he could naturally become their leader.
But he found that he had underestimated the servility of these Chinese workers.
When they face danger, they will instinctively hide back and hope that someone will help them stand in front.
Therefore, Dong Liang showed his power in front of them.
I didn't expect it to work very well.
He finally saw what he wanted.
"Okay, everyone, get up, drag these Fusang people to the woods and bury them, and put away all the weapons. Send this car of dried fish to the kitchen for extra dinner in the evening." Dong Liang ordered.
At this time, Dong Liang's words already contained a bit of majesty.
"Brother Chen, go call some stewards to my cabin."
"Yes, Captain." Chen Deli is a very shrewd man, after all, he has crossed the sea.
There are no rules on the vast sea, and it is common for merchant ships to rob each other.
Dong Liang is a man who must be skilled in skills and means.
Such people are born to make a life at sea.
He had a flexible mind and made up his mind to follow Dong Liang, and maybe he could gain wealth.
To say the least, following people like Dong Liang closely is the safest option.
Dong Liang gave the order, and the Chinese workers quickly took action.
After a while, this group of Fuso people was cleared away.
At the entrance of the camp, it was as if nothing happened.
There were fifteen people in total, but Dong Liang did not leave anyone alive.
He doesn't need to spy on these people.
Xiang Ying had already told him that there were only three hundred soldiers stationed in the Satsuma family in the entire palace.
Their base camp is on Iriomote Island in the southwest of Kabira Bay.
They established a port in the northern part of Iriomote Island.
A manor for growing sugar cane was opened on the island, and many Ryukyu people helped the Fuso people work in the manor, almost like slaves.
Sucrose is a major source of income for the Satsuma family, and every year they transport a large amount of sucrose from Ryukyu to Fuso for sale.
Iriomote Island is the second largest island in Ryukyu.
Dong Liang now needs an enemy to awaken the bloody spirit of his four hundred Chinese workers.
The enthusiastic Ryukyu people are naturally not enemies, so we can only use these Fuso people.
"Ah Fu, how are you?" Dong Liang came to Ah Fu and helped him check the wound.
The wound is also on the leg.
"Second Uncle, it's okay." Ah Fu was a little resistant. He thought of Dong Liang using maggots to treat Lin Yue's injuries, and the hairs on his body stood up.
"It's okay. Just treat the injury. Are you going to wait until it becomes infected and then use Lin Yue's method?"
Fortunately, Ah Fu's injury was not serious, just a gash on the front of his calf.
Dong Liang took Ah Fu back to his cabin and asked someone to find a bottle of liquor from the warehouse.
These things were all brought from the ship.
He helped Ah Fu clean the wound and bandaged him with the golden sore medicine left by Xiang Ying.
In addition to Ah Fu, five other Chinese workers were slashed by the Fusang people. One of them was seriously injured, and the other four had only superficial injuries. Dong Liang also helped them with simple treatment.
He sent people to Fiqi to ask Xiang Ying to come and help.
There is a small town with two entrances on Mount Mao on the north side of the bay.
This is where the official residence of Miyarama Kiri is located.
There is an official office and a military barracks in the lower city.
There is a group of more than 100 Ryukyu soldiers in the city.
This is the number of soldiers the Fuso people allow them to keep.
A middle-aged man with a goatee was sitting on the collapse, holding a book in his hand, which turned out to be a Chinese "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".
This person is Xiang Bang, the local official of Gong Liangmaqie.
At this time, a thin man wearing a gray gown was kneeling in front of him to report the matter.
"Sir, that group of Fusang people went to the Qing people's camp."
"Then what happened to those Qing people?"
"They were all killed."
"What, they were all killed. How many of those Qing people died?"
All the people in Fusang died, which was beyond Xiang Bang's expectation. It was possible to defeat the few with more.
But he had also come into contact with Qing people who drifted over from shipwrecks before. Those people were timid and cowardly.
A dozen Fuso people can subdue hundreds of people.
The subordinates continued to report back: "A few Chinese workers were injured, but no one died."
"Huh? How did they do it?"
He knew that these Qing refugees were not simple, otherwise how could they have robbed the foreigners' ship?
"These Qing people have guns in their hands, and the leading Qing person seems to be very powerful."
"really……"
"Okay, wait for my news in a few days, and then think of a way to tell the Fusang people about this." Xiang Bang ordered in a low voice.
"In addition, except for sending food, let our people not come into contact with those Qing people."
"But, Sir, what should I do with my second grandfather? He seems to be very close to the Qing leader." His subordinate said with some worry.
"Don't worry about the second brother. Let him do what he wants to do. We don't want to help him," Xiang Bang said.
He stroked his beard and his mind started spinning rapidly.
This time he played a little too hard and the car was about to overturn if he wasn't careful.
He had to figure out how to escape unscathed.
"Sir, what should I do with the young master above? Do you want me to respond?"
"Don't bother me about this matter, young master. Our young master is kind-hearted, so it's better not to interfere in these matters."
"Only the two of us know about this matter. If a third person knows about it, you will know the consequences." Xiang Bang's wise eyes seemed to suddenly have a cold light.
The thin man's back felt chilly and he was sweating profusely.
There were seven people sitting in the stone house where Dong Liang lived.
Dong Liang, Ah Fu and five stewards sat together. Lin Yue did not participate because of his injury.
"Everyone must already know what happened at the gate of the station today."
"Captain, good job. Why are these Fuso people telling us what to do? This is obviously the territory of the Ryukyu people." The speaker was Wang Su, a native of Longxi.
This man does have a bit of blood in him. He performed bravely when fighting on the deck.
Lin Ben, the oldest member of the life group, was a bit conservative. He said with a worried look: "Captain, now that we have killed the Fuso people, do they have any companions on the island? What if they come to take revenge?"
Dong Liang looked at the expressions of everyone. Some people think that I will not offend others unless they offend me, but if they offend me, I will naturally not be polite.
However, there are a few people who feel that more trouble is worse than less trouble. Now that they are living under someone else's roof, they should just wait until the ship is repaired and then leave here.
"I told my brothers at the door today about some things," Dong Liang said.
"I can understand how everyone wants to go home. But from the moment we seized the foreigners' ship, we were no longer civilians."
"These foreigners are determined to retaliate. They will definitely go to the Quanzhou government first."
"Of course, if you want to go back, I, Dong Liang, will try my best to send you back."
At this time, Lin Ben said excitedly: "Captain, didn't we agree to seize the ship and go home?"
"Go home? I want to go home too. Who doesn't have family? But I want to remind you that going home may mean going back and throwing yourself into a trap. Let's get a list. The Piggy House in Xiamen has a stub." Dong Liang had no idea.
Said politely.
He called you here today just to have a showdown with them.
"Then what should we do?" someone asked.
"We have four hundred warriors, a large ship, dozens of muskets, and four artillery pieces. Can't we fight for a way to survive for ourselves?"
Dong Liang asked back. Several people sitting there were a little silent.
"We originally selected Dong Xianggong as the captain because we believed that he could lead everyone to survive."
Seeing that everyone was silent, Chen Deli said: "It turns out that Dong Xianggong did lead us to seize the ship and regain our freedom. He also risked his own life to help us survive the crisis at sea."
"Everyone think about what would have happened to us if it weren't for Mr. Dong. We might have been locked in the cabin and watched our companions die one by one. The last surviving ones would be thousands of miles away and work as slaves for foreigners."
"No matter what, from now on I will be with Mr. Ding Dong."
"Me too. We Longxi people are not cowards. Even if Mr. Dong leads us to rebel, I, Wang Su, will follow. Our lives were saved in the first place."
Wang Su's words were echoed by several other people.
