Xu Jin, who was accompanied by a reporter from the Southeast Daily, wrote in his manuscript: "You can imagine the natives and Japanese people with knives and spears shouting at our cruisers, I really can't imagine this situation, but it did happen......

The aborigines and the Japanese people demonstrated on the crab boat, whirring and whisking, they were not afraid of the big boat at all, in their opinion, the Ming people were easy to bully, which time did not give the money to buy the road, this time is no exception!

There were indeed no exceptions, the cruiser stopped, Zhang Yunhe was in the bow, skillfully answered them in the native language, and invited them to board!

I have to say that the indigenous ---- well, it is rumored that the description of them by the Yan Overseers is very correct, and these Filipino monkeys are not affected by the ups and downs of the wind and waves at all when they go from the main body of the crab boat to the crosswood, let alone fall into the sea.

When they climbed up along the net rope on the edge of the cruiser, the speed was a little faster than that of the trained Southeast Navy, which was true, Hong Xiguan looked at the little bell boringly!

More than 20 people, including Iboba and Yuzo Yamashiro and the crew of the three boats, went up to the deck of the cruiser, and Yuzo Yamashiro immediately felt something strange from the past.

It seems that the old man who negotiated with them had a much straighter waist, perhaps it was his delusion, after all, he could not measure the degree of bending of others

And there were many strong men on this boat, and their attitude was ----- they stood behind the old man, eyeing the Japanese and the natives, and each of them was equipped with an iron cannon with strange eyes (the Japanese saying).

Since its inception, the Southeast Province double-barreled shotgun has been enthusiastically sought after, and the melee personnel have one.

They have too many iron cannons!

Not good, it's a flintlock pistol!

Double-eyed iron cannon, double the firepower!

Yuzo Yamashiro has knowledge, and a thrilling feeling runs in his heart.

In the past, when they got on the boat of the Ming people, it was a cat and a mouse, and the Ming people begged bitterly to let them be fully satisfied.

Now Yuzo Yamashiro is only looking forward to completing the deal quickly, it seems that the old man in charge of the Akito doesn't want to start a war, everyone hurry up!

There was no big trouble in the negotiation between Iboba and Zhang Yunhe, Zhang Yunhe was modest, and Iboba was used to it, and the two sides agreed:

a barrel of 100 pounds of rum (the natives love this wine);

Four quintals of rice! (400 catties)

10 catties of fine salt and 1 catty of candy; (Candy, refers to the milk candy produced in the southeast province, in short supply, you can't have it if you want it, and Iboba doesn't want much reasonably)

10 pounds of tobacco, 1 cigarette (10 packs); (Sure enough, the tobacco thing spread so quickly that even the natives smoked it.)

And then there are all kinds of jerky 100 catties! (This kind of jerky is very suspicious, it will definitely not be the best beef jerky pork jerky and venison jerky supplied to the army in the southeast province, whoever dares to supply the army with inferior jerky in the southeast province will die, and the family will all work / reform, and the jerky ready to be given now is made of dead cat, pig, dead dog and dead rat meat anyway, God knows what)

and a hundred taels of silver.

The final rule is that each ship must have one copy of the above supplies!

That is to say, a total of twenty-eight ships (including three warships), and two thousand eight hundred taels of silver alone!

Then there were pots, kitchen knives, pots, pots, ropes and other utensils, and a large number of them were also extorted.

In fact, it is useless for the natives to ask for silver, and the natives have not asked for silver, since Yuzo Yamashiro came to this tribe, he has collected the money for the road. Maybe he still wants to use the money he collects to make a comeback.

……

Even the warships were charged to buy the road, although it was a merchant fleet and would not use military expenditures, Hong Xiguan had a feeling of crying and laughing.

However, Zhang Zhihe told him before that this was already very good, this tribe was the most powerful tribe in the vicinity, it was not bloodthirsty, and it was generally released if it was given something, and there was no need to go to war.

……

The deal was reached, and Zhang Zhihe sent a signal to a merchant ship that had been prepared for a long time, and the merchant ship followed the two crab ships to a rudimentary dock repaired on the shore, and two other ships also sailed over to prepare for supplies.

He gave something, but there was still a smile on his face, and Iboba was in a good mood when he saw that everything was going well, and his eyes looked around, and he suddenly said, "I still want this, ten per boat!" He pointed.

Referring to the musket held by the marines standing behind Zhang Zhihe, he was so immortal, he also pointed at the deck gun on the cruiser!

One boat, five doors! Pointing at the artillery, he thought about it and opened his palm.

Hong Xiguan knew very well what that Filipino monkey head meant, rolled his eyes, and wondered if it would be okay for a cruiser like mine to give you ten!

Yuzo Yamashiro was shocked, and when he wanted to stop it, it was too late, and when he secretly wanted to be bad, he snorted, and all the guns were aimed at Iboba.

Although the language barrier, the Marines still knew what he meant, that would not work, and the gun and wife would not be borrowed!

As soon as the Marines made a move, they immediately caused a reaction from the natives, who raised their spears and wielded swords, and shouted.

In an instant, the swords on the deck were tense!

Zhang Yunhe only had time to shout: "Stop!" "I felt a chill on my neck, and I was put on the rack of a Japanese knife.

Everyone saw the flowers in front of them, and that widow had turned Zhang Yunhe into a hostage!

Yuzo Yamashiro shouted, "All people, drop your guns!" ”

"Don't move, or I'll kill him!" This Japanese man can speak Chinese!

That is, the three ancestors of Yamashiro Xiong were also wide, and many people in the upper class of the Wa people could speak Chinese.

Seeing that the other party was aiming at him, it was really disrespectful, Iboba shouted angrily, but no one paid attention to what he said, and all the eyes of the Ming people were on the supreme commander of the ship, Hong Xiguan.

The Japanese moved quickly, and everyone didn't have time to react.

Hong Xiguan couldn't help but shake his head and sighed carelessly! Attention should be paid to protecting Zhang Yunhe's.

I quickly recalled the plan for dealing with this situation.。。

Principle 1: Try not to provoke the other party and not to aggravate the situation; Principle 2: Generally no threat.

The other party makes a non-part request, and in the case that the party cannot control the market, it cannot be agreed!

For example, just like now, if everyone lays down their weapons, they are likely to be killed by the other side, and they will not even be able to save the warship.

You can't promise him!

If there are 20 people on the other side and one person on the other side, you can negotiate.

Or maybe the hostages are extremely important, even if there is a possibility that everyone is in danger, but when there will be rescue in the future, they have to lay down their weapons.

However, Zhang Yunhe obviously did not reach this level.

With his hands raised high, indicating that he had no weapon in his hand, he stood up and said: "You can understand Chinese, so let's do it, you let him go, the things are still yours, everyone don't do it!" ”

"Impossible!" Yuzo Yamashiro poked his head out from behind Zhang Zhihe and said, "I'll count three times, if you don't put down your gun, then I'll kill him!" ”

"Impossible!" Hong Xiguan flatly refused: "There are so many of you, we will not give away the lives of the whole ship because of one person!" ”

"If you don't obey, then I'll kill him!" Yuzo Yamashiro said in an accentuated tone.

"Kill him, and you too will die!" Hong Xiguan refused again, he took out the pistol, made a bracket with his left hand, and put the gun mount on his right hand, aiming at Zhang Yunhe's side.

As soon as Zhang Yunhe fell, he immediately opened fire!

There was nothing to say on both sides now, seeing the muzzle of the black hole, Yuzo Yamashiro didn't dare to really start, he and another Japanese dragged Zhang Yunhe to the deck, and the Japanese and the natives jumped down into the sea one after another, boarding back the crab boat.

Throwing Zhang Yunhe into the water, Yuzo Yamashiro left the deck.

The marines rushed up to the bulwark and watched Zhang Yunhe get soaked and escorted to the crab boat, and they took him away!

Someone asked Hong Xiguan: "Will the things be returned to them?" ”

Hong Xiguan said: "Don't irritate, the safety of the hostages is important, give them things!" ”

……

Summoning the senior officers and caravan owners to the Kaohsiung 8, he said: "Because of my negligence, Mr. Zhang has fallen into the hands of the enemy, if anything happens to him, I will be responsible for all the consequences, the matter will be recorded in the logbook, and I, the deputy captain and the chief sailor will write a report."

At the same time, this tribe is not in our favor and has illegally abducted our people, and I, in accordance with the laws of the South-East Province and the authorization given to me, as a special envoy, declare that the South-East Province and this tribe are in a state of war, and we have the right to use all forces and all means against this tribe! ”

"The war has begun!"

"Yes!" The officers responded in unison.
