Chapter 89 Peace talks
Even Li Zihong, the leader of the Yulong Gang, was alarmed and came to the shore to greet him.
But the next scene was unexpected.
A group of people jumped from the wardrobe and wadeed to the water.
In addition to the brothers of the Yulong Gang, there was a group of merchants among the people who wade ashore.
This surprised the pirates who were watching on the shore.
In the past, they robbed the ship and did not want people.
No matter which force the people on the ship belong to, they will be killed.
As the sea is difficult and dangerous, ships may encounter strong winds and waves at any time, and shipwrecks may occur from time to time.
If one person has more mouths, it is a waste of food.
Instead of leaving these people on the boat, it would be better to kill them all.
Secondly, many of the ships they plundered had paid protection fees.
If you leave these survivors, if you let them escape back, it will be unfavorable for you.
Therefore, it is rare for pirates to leave a living mouth to take the people on the boat back to their nests like this.
When these people wade and go ashore, a large group of pirates surrounded them.
Li Zihong saw the pirate leader in the lead at a glance.
"Monkey Hai, what are you doing?" Li Zihong looked at the group of businessmen with a bad expression and said.
"Go back to the boss, these people were sent by the Ming people to discuss with us." The pirate leader who was called out by Li Zihong quickly said.
"The Ming people sent to the peace talks." Li Zihong frowned and muttered.
"Zhao Qian, a Chinese merchant in Gansu in Xiawei, is now commissioned by the Ming army to come to Shuangdao to ask for peace with the boss." A Chinese merchant saw this and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
The pirates on the side exploded when they heard this.
"Ming people, you are actually Ming people."
"Okay, I got dozens of brothers in Weigan last time, and I can finally take revenge today."
The pirates immediately surrounded him, holding steel knives and glaring at the wide open, swaying claws. The group of Chinese merchants were so scared that their faces were as dark as the sea water, and their legs were trembling constantly.
"Don't get angry, brothers, these wise men came with sincerity." Monk Hai hurriedly blocked the group of Chinese merchants.
As soon as he finished speaking, several whistleboats rushed to the shore.
The pirates on the boat jumped off the boat happily, and walked towards the shore with big wooden boxes.
"Brothers, we are rich." Monk Hai shouted after seeing this.
Several pirates carried a wooden box next to Li Zihong and gently opened it.
It shocked everyone in an instant.
I saw a box of silver lying heavily in the wooden box.
"The Fish and Dragon Gang is a hero at sea. This is given to the boss by Weigan Mingjun, 10,000 Spanish silver dollars." Zhao Qian looked at the pirates with light eyes and smiled.
Li Zihong was also moved by the sudden action of the Ming people.
He quickly invited these Chinese merchants to the village.
Late at night, the pirates were drinking happily, eating meat, and drinking wine in big gulps was so lively in the sky.
Li Zihong in the village raised his glass frequently and drank with Chinese merchants.
"The owner of the ship Zhao is also a character with me. This guy pays me tolls every year, and I guarantee his ship is unobstructed on the Luzon Seaway every year." After three rounds of wine, Li Zihong spoke proudly to the Chinese merchants present.
These Chinese merchants held their wine glasses and smiled, but couldn't help but curse in their hearts.
"There is no obstacle. Our Chinese merchant ships are blocked by you at the dock. The ships that ventured out to sea have been killed and robbed. All the people and ships are lost. Do you dare to be shameless?"
Although these Chinese merchants were full of resentment, they did not dare to have an attack and had to give a compliment.
"The Yulong Gang is a hero at sea. My Zhao family's ship is protected by the Yulong Gang every year, so that it can be unobstructed in the sea outside Luzon." Zhao Gan agreed with a smile on his face.
"To be honest, this time I came here to invite me to do something."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Li Zihong asked after taking a sip of wine.
"When the pirates first signed an alliance with the Ming people in Mingcheng with the Black Flag Gang to deal with the Flangji people in Luzon, can the master remember?" Zhao Gandao.
"Well, this red-haired ghost bullied me for a long time, forcing me to fight."
"It's a pity that the Franco Rovers, the sharp cannon, was defeated by the Fish and Dragon Gang, so I had to give up." Li Zihong shook his head and sighed.
"The master of the lords, although the ships and the ships are powerful, the number of people is small. The number of heroes on the South China Sea is large, so we have already surrounded the lords in Lavague. The lords stationed in Manila are also unable to go north to rescue due to the obstruction of our Ming army."
"Just a while ago, General Xiao from the Navy Town wrote a letter to the Wei Gan Ming army, asking the Wei Gan Ming army to go north to cooperate with the Black Flag Gang and other maritime powers to join forces to defeat Lavag." Zhao Gandao.
"Okay." Li Zihong shouted OK.
"I don't know when the Wei Gan Ming army will set off," Li Zihong asked.
Zhao Gan smiled bitterly and said quickly: "The boss doesn't know anything. Since Mr. Liu from Huben Town has been worried day and night since he received the letter. Wei Ganming's number of soldiers is not large and there is no cooperation between navy ships. Going north to Lavague is like a drop in the bucket."
"But it would be a blessing to get the cooperation of the Yulong Gang to go north together."
"So Lord Liu from Huben Town specially held a banquet in Weigan to invite the leader of the Yulong Gang to go there." Zhao Ke said.
After listening to it, Li Zihong remained silent for a long time.
"It is not cowardly that my Yulong Gang escaped from Lavag without permission, but that I know that my strength is not good. Now it would be a blessing to go north with the Ming army."
"but,"
Li Zihong paused again after he finished speaking, and his tone became a little low.
"I appreciate Lord Liu's kindness, but I am used to staying on the sea and don't want to go ashore. Otherwise, I will send a boat and ask Lord Liu to come to the island to talk to me."
Facing Li Zihong's tentative inquiry, Zhao Gan was not in a hurry.
"Mr. Liu is busy with official duties, and now he has wiped out the Wei-Gansu Chamber of Commerce. There are too many military information that need to be handled, so it may be inconvenient to come." Zhao Gan responded calmly.
"What, you killed the Weigan Chamber of Commerce." Li Zihong's expression changed and stood up and asked quickly.
"Wei Gan and wealthy businessmen are arrogant and domineering, repeatedly violate the laws of our Ming army and have had some connections with the Folang Ji people. Now they have been wiped out by our Ming army."
The pirates present were also surprised when they heard the news.
He has had a lot of dealing with the pirates of the Chamber of Commerce Yulong Gang.
I also know a lot about this behemoth.
In the past, ships that encountered Viagar Chamber of Commerce at sea often took detours.
If it weren't for the Ming people who were shocked in Luzon, the Folang Ji people who were helpless,
They did not dare to block outside the Weigan port and rob ships everywhere.
Now that the Ming army has actually wiped out the Chamber of Commerce, why doesn’t this group of pirates be horrified?
At the same time, I understood why the Ming army was so generous that they even gave 10,000 taels of Spanish silver dollars.
