Zhang Yunhe stumbled walking on the beach. He should be grateful that he was not old yet, just over forty. He had good physical strength and could keep up with these Filipino monkeys and Japanese people.

They took him to a hilly area overlooking the coast. After climbing over the mountain, they could see a large tribe with many people. They were generally in good spirits and well-nourished, and seemed to be living a decent life.

This place is located in the tropics, the land is rich in output, and it is close to the sea. Together with the materials extorted, they can live without farming.

Zhang Yunhe was not ill-treated, but he was a little tired after walking. He was placed in a woodshed, and the tribesmen also brought him water, dried fish and rice.

This was because they were in a good mood, because Mingren still gave them supplies. A large amount of supplies were delivered, and it was not difficult for them to make things difficult for Zhang Yunhe.

Sitting on the ground, Zhang Yunhe couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was still careless!

If there is a next time, he will just shrink to the back of the army and will not stand in front to deal with people.

From the drills I have seen before, I know that the Southeast Army is responsible, high-level, and very reliable. Why not make use of them!

Alas, this is the first time to cooperate with the Southeast Army. I lack experience and cannot make such mistakes again in the future.

The situation has changed, and the methods must also change!

Official Hong Xi did not regard hostages as his priority. Zhang Yunhe did not blame him at all for doing this. If it were him, he would do the same thing.

These Japanese and natives have bad character and must not be trusted.

Believe them, their heads were really caught in the door, Hong Xiguan is right.

As long as Official Hong Xi is here, he will definitely come to save him!

Zhang Yunhe drank water, ate something, closed his eyes and rested his mind, without thinking too much.

…

It should be noted that the supplies were provided and the ships were transported to the simple dock for unloading. The natives were so happy that they picked up the lid of the wine barrel and scooped up the wine, smoked cigarettes, and chewed dried meat and milk candies!

Transport supplies all the way to the camp and put them in the warehouse built in thatched cottages.

In the thatched hut in the center of the camp.

As the leader, Iboba naturally enjoys it very much. He is a tropical person and does not have so many tricks, but Yamashiro Yuzo thinks more than him.

This time Akito was very unusual. They were actually escorted by a plywood boat, and those on the plywood boat... they were soldiers, Yamashiro Yuzo realized this.

If they were civilians from the Ming Dynasty, Yamashiro Yuzo really would not take them seriously unless they were forced to have no way out. This is what Yamashiro Yuzo urged Iboba not to do. He understood the principle of a slow stream.

But the situation is different for soldiers. Soldiers are the kind of people who are looking for something to do when they have nothing to do. Only fighting can reflect their value. If you mess with them, it will be dangerous!

While I was thinking carefully, someone came to report: "The Ming Dynasty has sent an envoy! Two people, without weapons."

Iboba said lazily: "Let them in!"

Two Mingren envoys came in, one was older and was in charge of negotiations, the other was very young and followed the older one honestly.

The older one is called Xu Qing, and he is an authentic maritime merchant. The younger one is not a maritime merchant or a clerk, but a combat staff officer of the Southeast Army. His name is Pan Haisheng. He is wearing casual clothes. Although he is honest now, he was wide-open just now.

Look at your surroundings with your eyes!

When you get back, make a map!

Xu Qing did not speak native dialect, but Yusan Yamashiro knew Chinese and was responsible for the translation.

Xu Qing nodded habitually and said: "Chief, it was a misunderstanding just now! Misunderstanding! We don't mean any harm."

"We are willing to exchange ten barrels of wine for our people, and we ask the leader to agree!" Wine is hard currency and is very popular among the indigenous people, so Xu Qing made an offer.

Yamashiro Yuzo translated the words, and Iboba counter-offered: "One hundred barrels of wine, plus a hundred muskets, two cannons, and gunpowder and pellets!" (Yamashiro Yuzo added the gunpowder and pellets himself,

Igboba didn’t say!)

"Ah!" Xu Qing said in fright: "We don't have so much wine at all, and we can't decide on those muskets. We hired bodyguards to carry them themselves. We don't have such muskets, and the bodyguards are only responsible for our safety.

, are not under our jurisdiction!”

After talking a lot, Yamashiro Yuzo told Igboba directly: "There is not so much wine, and they won't give out muskets."

Immediately, Iboba became furious, became excited, and babbled a lot of patois.

"Really?" Yamashiro Yusandai scolded Xu Qing: "They dare to point their guns at the great leader, and they have to pay the price. I just asked them to hand over their guns and didn't ask them to kneel down. I'm already very merciful!"

Xu Qing begged, bowed and bowed, only to miss Iboba!

In fact, if he hadn't brought Pan Haisheng with him, he would have knelt down to Iboba!

Everything they did was just to save their own people. They swore in front of Mazu that they would never abandon their brothers. They would bring them back in life and send them back in death (even if they couldn't bring back their bodies, they would still send their belongings back to their hometowns to make sacrifices).

Tomb), return to hometown, this is the Chinese people's rural concept, every Chinese has the obligation to do this for his own people.

Poor merchant, humiliation is nothing, his personality is not worth a copper!

Far away in Beijing, the aloof emperor, have you ever seen the people of the Celestial Dynasty groveling in front of these uncivilized peoples!

But you don't care because you don't recognize them as your people.

However, if you manage the country well and everyone has food to eat, no one will go to fight in the unpredictable sea, and no one will want to hold their head high and be a human being! (Is it because Fujian people like to go to the sea? Eight points are mountains and one part water,

In the 13th century, a local official in Fujian Province lamented: "From the foothills to the top of the mountain, there are rocks, and farming will never stop." However, farming can never support a family! If Fujian people want to live, they must go to sea.

!Their parents, wives and children have enough food and clothing!)

Pan Haisheng, who was behind him, saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart!

He has received political education from the Southeast Government system and knows that the significance of the existence of the Southeast Army is to protect his own political power and to make himself an upright man!

Now that he had taken over the escort mission, he naturally regarded those maritime merchants as his own. Xu Qing was humiliated. Pan Haisheng felt the same and forced himself to suppress his anger. He wanted to complete his mission, observe the enemy's camp, and prepare for the army's attack.

Prepare!

If it weren't for the saying that people should be polite before using force, and then resort to force if a peaceful solution is not possible, Pan Haisheng would have really wanted to take action immediately!

…

Negotiations continued, and Xu Qing was willing to pay fifty barrels of wine and one thousand taels of silver.

As for the muskets, there is no need to talk about them.

Seeing that nothing could be squeezed out, Iboba wanted to agree, but the bad guy Yamashiro Yuzo disagreed and wanted to hold Zhang Yunhe hostage!

He said to Igboba: "If you release the hostages, those Ming people are the army. As soon as the hostages are released, they will attack immediately. What you gain will eventually be lost!"

"Dare the Ming people come to attack?" Iboba was very disapproving. Those Ming people were as obedient as chickens. They could be slaughtered at will unless their lives and cargo were taken.

"Believe me!" Yamashiro Yuzo said anxiously.

The words were good. Iboba kept his head straight and with the help of Yuzo Yamashiro, he never suffered any losses.

As a result, Xu Qing returned disappointed and had to pay twenty barrels of wine and two hundred taels of silver for the living expenses of the hostage Zhang Yunhe!

Iboba allowed Xu Qing to visit Zhang Yunhe: "...I am useless, I can't save you!"

"Old Xu, I was negligent. If anything happens to me, go back and help me take care of the family!" Zhang Yunhe was very open-minded. He wrote a will on the spot, divided the family affairs, and asked Xu Qing

He signed it with Pan Haisheng as evidence and asked them to take it back to his hometown.

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry! We will definitely rescue you!" Pan Haisheng grabbed his hand and said.
Chapter completed!
