When the Sea Wolf fleet appeared on the river outside Majiapu, the people in Majiapu were immediately frightened. The villagers who were looking after their homes quickly sounded the alarm gong, and the villagers who were moving outside the village were like
When Caojia Village saw the Sea Wolf Fleet for the first time, they all fled into the village like flying ducks and closed the village gate.
Yu Xiaotian didn't waste any time and directly ordered to land on the shore. Seven boats approached the shore one after another. After settling down, they all transferred to sampans and rowed the sampans to start landing. They also added one of the few boats parked on the shore.
The small, dilapidated two-masted ship was brought under control.
The Sea Wolf tribe that landed soon surrounded the small Majiapu.
The clan leader of Majiapu was named Ma Ruyi. When he saw the flag of the sea wolf, he realized that he was going to be in trouble. He was so frightened that he hid in the stronghold and didn't know what to do.
At first, he wanted to lead the villagers to resist, but when he saw batches of heavily armed and well-dressed Sea Wolf tribesmen landing on the beach and beginning to surround Majiapu, his courage was suddenly wiped out.
Among the rubbish heaps.
It's not that he hasn't seen a little bit of worldly people. After all, he has been a pirate for a while. After seeing the Sea Wolf tribe, he was really frightened, because even if he was an officer, navy, he had never seen such a person.
The military looks neat and tidy.
This group of people flying the golden wolf flag did not behave like ordinary pirates, but like a well-trained army. However, their clothing was very different from the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers, and they did not wear such helmets.
Small bamboo hats, some personnel also appeared to be wearing navy blue leather armor, and leggings on their legs, which was very different from the clothing of the Ming army.
So he really couldn't see the origin of this group of people, but vaguely, from the golden wolf flags floating on the ships, he roughly guessed that this group of people should be the Sea Wolf behind Caojiacun.
When she saw more than 200 people landing in Majiapu and surrounding them, Ma Ruyi felt that she was about to wet her pants with fear. If it was a bunch of noisy pirates who came, one or two hundred people would still dare to follow them.
They worked hard and relied on their stronghold to block the pirates' attack.
But facing these neat and tidy sea wolves, he really couldn't bring up the idea of resisting. Even though there were dozens of young men in their village, they still had a lot of firecrackers in their hands, and they even lifted a few.
With just a few cannons (Tiger Crouching Cannon) and a small bronze cannon they had on hand, as well as a few bows and a mess of knives and guns, they wanted to stop these enemies and give Ma Ruyi eight more courages.
He didn't dare either.
"The horse inside listened. We are the Fuzhou Sea Wolf. We came here today to discuss something with you. I will give you a cup of tea to come out and see our boss. If you dare not listen, we will call in and invite you ourselves."
Come out!" There was a sea wolf leader, holding on to the hilt of a single sword at his waist, striding to the front of Majiapu's village gate, shouting at the top with a disdainful look on his face.
Yes! It really is a sea wolf! This time Ma Ruyi finally confirmed the identity of the other party. He wanted to slap himself in the face a few times. It was all because of money. He hated himself for being so full that he had to go to Caojia Village to find him.
It's good that they are in trouble. Their backstage has come out, and there are so many people there, which makes it clear that they are here to investigate.
"This good man! I dare to ask what I have done to offend you. I actually worked hard for you to come here to ask for my sins. If I have offended many of you, I hope you will forgive me. We are in a remote and remote area and there is really nothing good. I hope you will forgive me.
Seeing that our lives are not easy, please let us go for once!
I can give you two hundred taels of silver here, and I hope you can show your kindness..." Ma Ruyi lay tremblingly on the wall of the village, begging to the followers of the Sea Wolf who was shouting below.
"Shut up, I! I don't care about your two hundred taels of silver. If you are wise, get out of here and follow me to see our boss. If you dare to nag me again, I will pacify your village and kill all of you!"
As long as you, old boy, do what our boss says, I guarantee that nothing will happen to you in the whole village! Come out quickly, don’t be wordy!" Before Ma Ruyi could finish what he said, the little leader of the Sea Wolf who came to shout out the words said
He directly blocked his words.
Ma Ruyi felt so miserable in his heart! He didn't dare to go out if he wanted to, but they had already told him that if they didn't go out, they would wipe out their Majiapu. He believed that the other party definitely had the strength and would definitely not be polite to them.
Thinking of this, it was useless to be afraid of death anyway. Ma Ruyi suddenly felt relieved. He explained a few words to the people in the village, gritted his teeth and ordered the door to be opened. He had someone prepare some gifts for him. There were
Two hundred taels of silver, fifty deer skins, two leopard skins, ten wild boar skins, two jars of home-brewed rice wine and some bacon.
He asked a dozen young men to help him carry these things out of the village gate. He walked cautiously to the Sea Wolf tribe standing outside the village gate and said with a smile on his face: "Heroes, this belongs to you guys."
Just a little thought, I hope..."
"Nonsense! I don't make the decision on this matter. You go and see our boss yourself! Let's go! What are you afraid of? Can I eat you?"
After a short while, Ma Ruyi was brought to Yu Xiaotian. Yu Xiaotian was sitting under a temporary tarpaulin tent, looking down at a surrounding topographic map drawn by his subordinates, facing the topographic map.
He and Fang An on the side were pointing and discussing something.
"Report to the great master, Ma Ruyi has arrived!" Zhao Si, who was sent to call the door, shouted loudly outside the tent.
Yu Xiaotian raised his head, glanced at it, and replied: "Let him wait for a while, I'm busy!"
Ma Ruyi's calf muscles twisted, and she thought to herself that you have called me here in a hurry, but now you don't see me. This score is really big enough!
But he didn't even dare to fart. People didn't treat him as a human being, so he could only treat himself as a dog. He stood in the distance and waited for Yu Xiaotian to summon him.
After a while, after Yu Xiaotian and Fang An discussed some things, they removed the map and said to Zhao Si: "Bring him here!"
"Ma Ruyi, let's not beat around the bush. I have already found out your details. You are from Taizhou, not a good person. You were a pirate in your early years, but later you gathered your subordinates and neighbors to settle here.
.
Including the fact that you used to bully others here, monopolize trade routes, hoard goods, maliciously raise prices, and buy local products from surrounding immigrants at low prices. I even knew that you even forced four villages to give you beautiful women.
Your concubine, I also know all these things.
But I can let go of the past, or I can just brush it off and end it!
I called you here today, and I will tell you one thing. From now on, this area will belong to my surname Yu. If you want to live here peacefully, take your people here and leave here for fifteen miles to the north.
, find a place to stay again.
If you don’t want to leave, it’s okay. I happen to need manpower here to help with work. Your Majiabao has a good terrain. In the future, I will build a city and fortress here, which will inevitably require manpower. As long as you work hard, I won’t
I'm sorry to you!
I have accepted the gifts you gave me today. In addition, you will prepare three hundred catties of bacon and five thousand catties of grain for me. From now on, you will provide me with one hundred catties of vegetables and fruits every day. As for the leftovers in your village,
I don't care about the things you bought. They are still yours. My men can do no harm to the people here!
All in all, this will be my Sea Wolf’s territory from now on. From now on, you people must obey the management of my surname Yu. I guarantee your safety and you pay my taxes! I will establish an effective management here and everyone will be fair.
It’s good for you and me!” Yu Xiaotian ordered Ma Ruyi who was kneeling in front of him. This was not a discussion, and there was no room for negotiation, it was a direct order.
After Ma Ruyi heard this, he immediately collapsed on the ground. He originally thought that this sea wolf was just because he went to Caojia Village to cause trouble a few days ago and came to ask for punishment, but he did not expect that it was not that at all.
I have long been interested in the territory in this area and want to bring it under the jurisdiction of Sea Wolf.
Unfortunately, he happened to take his family to build a village in this place, and he was noticed by others. This place would become a stronghold set up by the sea wolves in the future, and he had no room for resistance except to pack up and get out.
If he didn't agree, he believed that the tall and arrogant man in front of him would immediately order to wipe out his Majiapu. If any outsider wanted to establish an effective order in a new place, then any outsider would
The stronger party will mercilessly use blood as a sacrifice to pave the way to order.
Even though Ma Rujian doesn't have much knowledge, he still understands this truth. He has made a lot of benefits here in the past few years, and people have basically found out about it. They have also guessed how rich his family background is.
Probably, there was no room for bargaining for him at all.
The 300 kilograms of dried bacon and 5,000 kilograms of grain proposed by the Sea Wolf Master named Yu were actually something he could handle, and there was still some surplus, which showed that the other party had left him a certain amount of leeway and had no intention of exterminating him.
There is a place fifteen miles to the north that is more suitable for reclaiming wasteland and building a village. Ma Ruyi also knows it very well. This also shows that the other party has thoroughly explored the surrounding situation before coming here, and even the new site of their village has been discovered.
It was chosen for them, and the fifteen-mile journey happened to be within the shortest direct control range of the Sea Wolf. If the Ma family wanted to do anything dishonest, the Sea Wolf stationed here would be able to send troops immediately.
, kill them all.
The more Ma Ruyi thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he thought about it, the less he dared to have the slightest idea of resistance. Almost everything about him was under the control of the other party. What else could he do besides complying?
So Ma Ruyi wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and could only nod her head and said: "As the master, everything else is easy to say. I just follow your instructions! But we have been living here for several years, and suddenly we are moved like this."
Going north, I'm afraid they're going to kill us!"
Yu Xiaotian stared at him and asked, "Why is this?"
(Sweat! Today the monthly vote list dropped to forty-one, which is not good enough! Keep asking for monthly votes!)
