As soon as Wu Yizhou's words fell, these people immediately cried and cried, laughed and laughed, and the scene was extremely chaotic! If there is a smart one in the middle, he will bow down to Xiong Wencan first. The villagers hurried to follow. For a while, the sound of Xiong Wencan's praise on the dock was endless!

Xiong Wencan was praised by the villagers and his face was full of red light! was happy for a while, and actually sent someone to ask who among these villagers was the village chief and the elder Rui? After the servants asked, a few people came out tremblingly and came to Xiong Wencan to bow and bow.

Xiong Wencan waved his hand and motioned for a few people to get up, and said, "Hurry up!" I ask you, what has happened in the past few days? ”

Several people passed the buck to each other, and a well-spoken person spoke. The man was a local village chief who had seen a little bit of the world. He stepped forward and said, "Speaking of which, the villain is also confused! Just a few days ago, suddenly a large number of red-haired people poured into the village to arrest people everywhere, and they also released birds indiscriminately! At that time, the villain originally thought that his life was not guaranteed, but he didn't expect that those Yi people did not kill us. It's just a matter of throwing us on an island and making us quarry and build a city, and it's very hard! Those pirates were very vicious, and they beat and scolded at every turn. After more than ten days like this, I thought that I was probably going to die on the island! But I don't want a fleet to suddenly appear a few days ago and fight those pirates! At that time, the battlefield was far away, and the sea was full of gunsmoke and flames, so I couldn't see the result clearly! When the battle is over, someone is beckoned to wait for the ship, and then here it is! The villain next to him doesn't know! ”

Several people next to him also chimed in. At this time, the other officers also stepped forward to tell the results of the inquiry. The process is much the same. Xiong Wencan also believed that the Red Eyed Dragon King's naval combat ability was the best in the world! This made Xiong Wencan's mind a little more eager!

Wu Yizhou stepped forward and said, "My lord, the villain led people to sink six of their ships, and only then did they force them to surrender. Even the money for the reparations was looted from their ships. ”

Xiong Wencan nodded and said, "Well done!" ”

At that time, other officials were found and asked to deal with the distribution of silver taels to the people and arrange for them to return to their hometowns. He took Wu Yizhou and them back to the governor's yamen. Wu Yizhou and the officials handed over a few boxes of silver, and the remaining dozen boxes were loaded.

When he arrived at the yamen and sat down, Xiong Wencan asked, "Have you brought the heads of those traitors?" ”

Wu Yizhou said: "The first level is in the box on the car. There is also flag armor inside. ”

Xiong Wencan immediately ordered the officials to go to the inspection. After a while, the official at the inspection point responded with joy: "My lord, the head and armor are all in line!" No doubt that he is a traitor! ”

Xiong Wencan was overjoyed and immediately ordered to re-dispose of the head. Then he turned back to Wu Yizhou and said, "What to do with the rest of the Yiren pirates?" ”

Wu Yizhou said: "Don't worry! I promised them to either return home, so they would leave tonight. And they left a confession, admitting that the conflict was caused by differences in words and customs, and that the responsibility was entirely on their side. ”

Wu Yizhou motioned to Jack, and Jack took out a letter from his arms and handed it to his soldiers. Xiong Wencan took the letter and looked at it, it was written in Chinese characters, and he did admit that the responsibility was on the side of the French, and he was willing to compensate for the loss. The signature is written in a quirky script.

Xiong Wencan immediately ordered the letter to be printed as a notice and pasted on the city gate to appease the Quartet. He put up his official authority and scolded the three Jacks. The three of Jack nodded submissively, and their attitudes were very humble. Xiong Wencan felt that the majesty was enough, so he ordered them to set sail without delay.

After Wu Yizhou arranged for Jack to leave, he was questioned and led into the back hall. After the two sat down, Xiong Wencan didn't say anything specific, but asked about overseas things. Wu Yizhou answered them one by one, and his attitude was respectful and his expression was normal. Xiong Wencan felt very satisfied when he saw it, and he strengthened Zhao'an's confidence even more.

So Xiong Wencan asked: "Zhiheng, you tell me the truth, how many ships and how many people do you have now?" Can it be used by the imperial court? ”

Wu Yizhou said seriously: "I have more than 80 large warships, more than 100 small ships, and about 200 other ships. There were about 10,000 sailors capable of fighting. ”

Xiong Wencan was shocked when he heard this! I think this number is a bit too much, and it's not good to be rewarded. As soon as his expression showed embarrassment, Wu Yizhou saw it and hurriedly said: "But the adults don't know, although there are close people among me who claim to be able to fight

10,000 people, but there are more than 3,000 of them who are responsible for farming on the islands, so that they can feed my men. In fact, there were only about five or six thousand people who actually fought. ”

Xiong Wencan let go of his brows when he heard this. After thinking about it, he began to inquire about Wu Yizhou's various situations in detail. Wu Yizhou answered them one by one. In the end, Xiong Wencan said: "There is one thing, let me ask you, you have to answer seriously." ”

Wu Yizhou said: "If the adult asks, the villain must answer truthfully." ”

Xiong Wencan stroked his beard and said slowly: "I intend to recruit An Er and others, but I don't know that you and others may abide by the laws and regulations of the country?" ”

Wu Yizhou immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Don't worry, my lord! We are willing to submit to the court! Adults don't know, but most of the people who have entered the sea have a sad past. Now that there is an opportunity to be a good citizen again, how can villains and others not seize it? Rest assured, if there is a recurrence in the future, the villain will die under the law of the country! ”

Xiong Wencan pulled Wu Yizhou up and said slowly: "In this case, you should leave someone to wait for news." I will write to the court to promote this matter. But you'll have to present the roster charts! ”

Wu Yizhou immediately thanked him and said, "These things have been brought!" To tell the truth, the villain robbed and killed the traitor just to find a trick! But before I could find my way, the letter from the adults arrived! Therefore, the little talent tries his best to do the things arranged by the adults! In the future, if the adults are sent, the villain will definitely die! ”

Xiong Wencan laughed when he heard this. said that he would set up a banquet that night to entertain Wu Yizhou and others. Only Wu Yizhou said that his identity was embarrassing, and it was not good to stay in front of people for a long time. left a generous gift to Xiong Wencan, leaving Liu Wenchang to walk under Xiong Wencan's curtain, and then led the fleet away.

Xiong Wencan was anxious to make meritorious contributions, so he and his staff figured out the words that night, and wrote a note, writing about the red-eyed dragon king's pacification of pirates, restraint of his subordinates, and extermination of Liu Xiang over the years. Coupled with Liu Pei's notification of all maritime merchants to work together, and at the same time, Liu Pei sprinkled a lot of silver, and soon Xiong Wencan's letter was approved by the imperial court.

In fact, it is not very difficult for the imperial court to pass this letter. Without spending a penny, you can earn a fleet that can fight very well, and you can also protect the sea frontier. And only a small general was rewarded, and there was no resistance at all.
