"On the contrary, I'm afraid that I won't be able to take it, and the army that only recognizes silver and women is unreliable, and how can I do it without a sense of honor." Ma Du smiled and said to Liao Yongan: "If you like it, I promise to make a bigger show, and how about firing a cannon for you when the time comes." ”

"Phew! Bah! The dog can't spit ivory out of his mouth. Liao Yongan pointed to the little girl who was hiding behind the house and peeking, "What do they do?" ”

"When they are better, I will hand them over to the imperial court to send them home......" Ma Du swallowed his words before he finished speaking.

"They are all women who have lost their reputation, it is better to send them home than to give them a little arsenic or a white silk directly, the mouth is as sharp as a knife, or a slow knife that cuts meat and does not want to die, and suffers."

"Then let's raise it first, and then talk about it, we don't have a few hundred mouths."

Ma Du wrote a fold and signed it with Liao Yongan, and sent it to Yingtian together with the captives, considering that the two captives were too few and not good-looking, he made up a hundred, I believe that Lao Zhu read the folds, and these widows must have died miserably.

As for the rest of the pirates, they were all cut off after torture, and their heads were made into a small Jingguan. Ma Du didn't have time to torture the pirates, he had too many things to do, such as cleaning up the port, building barracks, and clearing the remnants of the pirates on the Penghu Islands, ready to meet the counterattack of the pirates.

The location of Penghu is very important to the Japanese Invaders, who have been coveting Penghu for hundreds of years, and when it came to the fact that the Braided Dynasty simply took advantage of the victory in the First Sino-Japanese War to annex it, Ma Du and Liao Yongan were sure that the Japanese would definitely come back, and they would not give up easily.

I didn't expect that the would-be wouldn't be looking for trouble, but someone had already come to the door, hundreds of aborigines were outside the camp, shouting, their complexion was black, their clothes were not covering, the linen clothes were as rough as fishing nets, and they were decorated with a lot of feathers and leaves, and the colorful ones were very good-looking.

The weapons in their hands are also diverse, not only copper and iron weapons, but also bone arrows and stone hammers, and it seems that they are still a group of fully civilized savages.

Although their weapons are very bad, but the courage is not small, in the face of the Ming army's flintlock pistol, there is no fear at all, and they put their eyes in front of the barrel to observe, as if they want to see what this is, and someone snatched the Ming army's felt hat and put it on their heads, as if they had a treasure.

The Ming army was a little embarrassed and didn't know whether to shoot them, so they reported to Ma Du one by one. Hearing that the aborigines were visiting, Ma Du was very interested and hurried to put down his military affairs.

If it is not accurate to refer to them as Gaoshan, it is only a general term for Taiwan's ethnic minorities, and there was no such name during the Ming Dynasty.

The natives are not stupid at all, seeing that the Ming army is surrounded by Ma Du, they know that he is a family member, a burly young man put down the weapon in his hand and walked to Ma Du and said a lot.

Ma Du shook his head helplessly, and spread his hands to show that he didn't understand. The young man said a word to his family, and he took out a few tied up pirates from the crowd, and those few pirates with blue noses and swollen faces were obviously beaten badly.

Could it be that the natives also know that a person came to ask for a reward for five taels of silver per head? But where did they spend the money they wanted? Anyway, there was not much money, Ma Du asked people to give them a few copper coins, but they waved their hands and refused, and said a lot of words but no one understood.

Huang Yuanshou was called over, and Ma Du felt that this person was quite capable, so he left him in the navy, and he knew a little about the local language.

Huang Yuanshou even said that after a while, he finally figured out what the other party meant, these natives actually came to find women.

Ma Du finally understood, and immediately asked the soldiers to go to the women's pile to find out if there were any indigenous women.

It didn't take long for the soldiers to bring an indigenous woman over, the woman looked pretty good, there should be no problem with her body, but judging from her bulging belly, she should be pregnant.

"Ami! Ami! ......" hundreds of natives burst into cheers at the sight of the woman.

The young man greeted him excitedly, maybe this was his woman, unexpectedly he did not beat and kill his wife, but happily took the woman in his arms, and touched the woman's bulging belly with his rough big hands, the woman cried so much that she kept beating his chest with her small fists.

Could it be that this man doesn't know that the child in the woman's womb is not his? Madu couldn't bear to break his happiness of being a father, and he didn't know how to tell him.

The two men walked up to Madu, and the man patted his chest, "Aga! He pointed to the woman again, "Ami! "That should be their name.

With a wave of his hand, Aga and his people brought a lot of gifts, all of which were bananas that were about to rot and prey that had been dead for an unknown number of days, which were the best things they could come up with, and Madu didn't dare to eat them anyway.

In order to express his high respect, Aga also took out his hat and dedicated it to Ma Du, looking at the green leaves on the hat, Ma Du felt that it was more appropriate for him to keep it for himself.

Watching hundreds of natives humming unknown mountain songs in unison and leaving with joy in their hearts, Ma Du hoped that those poor Han women could also have a good home, they were not wrong, it was the Japanese who caused the evil.

Lao Zhu's reply to the imperial court was extremely fast, and the content was very simple, mainly asking Ma Du if he could withstand it, he would immediately cut those would-be robbers, you can imagine how angry Lao Zhu was, and he had a little conscience to care about Ma Du's life and death.

Ma Du closed the fold and asked Mao Xiang, "What is the situation in the court?" He asked Mao Xiang to send the fold, of course, in order to inquire about the dynamics of the court, so as not to be stupid and hardworking, and the court still stabbed him in the back.

Mao Xiao smiled and said: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, the emperor is very happy about the great victory of the navy, and the court also has a lot of praise, and he also wrote to those plundered state capitals to appease the people." The Marquis of Zhongshan and the Marquis of Jiangxia, who returned from Chongqing, also suggested that the emperor expand the navy, and wait for the next year to take advantage of the wind and send a large army to the north to directly attack the Japanese kingdom (especially Zhou Dexing, the Marquis of Jiangxia). ”

Liao Yongan said disdainfully: "Eighty percent of these two people are idle at home and want to come over to join in the fun, but the emperor didn't agree." ”

"Under the emperor's anger, he seemed to have such thoughts, but he was persuaded by Xu Da and Liu Ji."

Ma Du breathed a sigh of relief, "Where is the navy so easy to expand, our sailors have been on sea ships for several years. There is no problem for the navy to attack the Japanese state, but the more chaotic the Japanese country is, the more Japanese will only increase, and the naval strength is still too small to control the vast sea. ”

Xu Da and Liu Ji said the same thing. Mao Xiang suddenly patted his head: "By the way, although the imperial court has a lot of support for you, but when your subordinates went to the Hou Mansion to deliver the letter, I heard that there was a student in the academy who pulled you back, saying that Penghu is an overseas wild land, so it is better to abandon it, just stick to the mainland, and you have been beaten by other students for this." ”

"I'm rubbing, there are still such students, see if I don't clean up properly when I go back, what's your name?"

"The subordinates don't remember very clearly, it seems that their name is Huang Hecheng." *
