After a little deliberation, Yu Hualong ordered the fleet to keep up with the hijacked Portuguese fleet. In fact, they didn't go too far, but in less than a few dozen miles, these hijacked merchant ships and nearly a hundred small pirate ships of Arab pirates docked. This is near the Tanzanian sea in later generations, there are a series of small islands along the east coast of Africa, and the east side of the island is a good route, but there are many small islands that hide pirates' lookouts, they usually fish for a living, and when they encounter ships that can be robbed, they notify each other, and then gather a large number of pirates to rob, and then they share the spoils, and the local Samgto empire is also very supportive of this. After the robbery of Kilwa, the capital of the Zange Empire by the Portuguese a hundred years ago, it gradually declined, but the number of pirates increased, and a series of large and small sultanates appeared along the coast, and the kings of the sultans also supported the robbery of these pirates.

They followed the pirates into the vicinity of the port on the coast, which was a small city, and when the people of the city saw that the pirates had brought a large number of merchant ships, they quickly told each other that they were going to buy something they needed or were rare, and even their sultan came out to give priority to something. Looking at these chaotic crowds, Yu Hualong asked dozens of small boats to be put down on the big ship, and sailed to the shore with mortars and some hand-cranked machine guns, the artillery on the warship was more powerful, but Yu Hualong was afraid that the water on the shore would be shallow, and if it ran aground on the coast and became a victory for the natives, General Yu would be a joke.

Look at these pirates escorted Captain Carlos and his party to the shore port, they were all tied together, there were about a hundred people, it seems that Captain Carlos They didn't resist too much, and there were not too many deaths, so Yu Hualong was relieved. When the pirates guarding Carlos also participated in the distribution of the spoils, the pirates had to unload the goods from the ship, Yu Hualong gave an order, dozens of clippers slowly went ashore, first rescued the captured Portuguese, and then began to fire at the pirates, breaking up the crowd of pirates, blowing them up at a loss, and then the team of nearly a thousand people began to march to the small city, along the way there were many pirates and the Sultan's team tried to intercept, but after the Ming army opened artillery bombardment, they scattered and fled.

When the Ming army arrived at the gate of the small city, dozens of mortars lined up, and there was a burst of bombardment at the small city, so that even a single person nearby did not dare to show up. At this time, Captain Carlos came, and he was very surprised by the arrival of the Ming army's firepower, but now was not the time to talk about this. Carlos walked up to Yu Hualong and told him to stop firing guns, the natives were already scared, and now we can negotiate with them, maybe it's better.

Carlos has traveled all over the world for many years, and he has been here many times, and he knows some local dialects, so he took Yu Hualong to the city and shouted to the city, asking them to go out of the city and surrender, otherwise they will step on the city, and the chickens and dogs will not be left.

After half an hour, a few natives ran out tremblingly, and as soon as they arrived in front of Yu Hualong and Carlos, they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, expressing their willingness to compensate for the loss. Yu Hualong told them to call their sultan out and let them go to the ship to negotiate, otherwise they would destroy the small city and kill all its inhabitants.

About half an hour later, I saw a well-dressed old man walking here in the company of some people, Yu Hualong asked people to take them to the ship, this matter is Niu Jinxing's work, he will never care, Captain Carlos has already returned to the ship and told Niu Jinxing to go.

In the room where Niu Venus once received Carlos, Niu Venus received this little sultan, and as soon as these people entered the door, Carlos couldn't help but say first: "You hateful bastards, why did you rob our merchant ships, now your retribution has arrived." ”

Unexpectedly, a bearded man next to the Sultan replied, "What are you shouting about, you incompetent captive?" We are the defeated generals of this gentleman, and we are willing to accept his punishment, what does it have to do with you? ”

When Carlos heard this, his face turned green with anger, but what they said was right, he was a prisoner of others, but now he was rescued by the Ming people. Carlos thought to himself, since you humiliated me, don't blame me for helping Mingren trick you, anyway, I'm a person who can be a translator, and you can't understand it yourself.

Unexpectedly, Niu Jinxing suddenly heard the tone of the bearded man speak in a somewhat familiar tone, he stretched out his finger to point at the bearded man, signaling him to come to him, then take a closer look at his appearance, and asked him in Mongolian: "Why do you look a little like a Mongolian?" Do you still have some Mongolian ancestry? Look at the way you act a little like the way of the prairie people? Do you speak Mongolian? ”

This time it was the turn of the bearded man to be surprised, he stared at Niu Jinxing's face with wide eyes, and after watching it for a long time, the word "Song" popped out of his mouth, and Niu Jinxing nodded. The bearded man twisted his face and said something quickly to the chief, who nodded, and the strong man disembarked and ran quickly toward the town.

On the boat, the little chief was still there and Niu Jinxing had a difficult conversation through Carlos's two knife translators, the little chief meant that he wanted to pay some gold, but only to the Ming people, and even wanted to pay more money, and Carlos and them also wanted to go back, but now Carlos is the interpreter, and the communication between them must be carried out through him, so the little chief is still just rubbing, equal to the people in his own tribe to solve this problem.

When he finally waited for the strong man with the beard just now, leading an old man who looked about the same as him but was much older, the old man walked in and asked, "Who is the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Niu Jinxing listened to this somewhat blunt official sentence of the Great Song Dynasty, and was overjoyed, so he stood up and said, "We are all from the Great Song Dynasty, may I ask the old man, what do you call him?" How do you know about the Great Song Dynasty? ”

The old man said in a trembling voice: "The old man Chen Qingyun, the ancestor is a native of the famous mansion of Hebei, because the Mongols attacked the Song Dynasty, the ancestor fled to Jiangnan with his family, and later settled in Quanzhou, where to do business, quite a bit of wealth, family, who wants to know the world, the Mongols continue to go south, and detour from Yunnan, the ancestor has a Persian female concubine, the old man is the descendant of that one, the ancestor followed the grandmother across the ocean to Persia, where it is also a family, but because the grandmother married the Han people, It was despised by the family, so the ancestors could only go to the end of the world on their own, but fortunately, when they went to sea, they carried a lot of gold and silver, and they did not suffer too many difficulties. Later, the branches and leaves, the clansmen are also quite a lot, the great-ancestors of the old man followed some merchants here, lived here for several lifetimes, and now there are nearly 100 people, but they are all married to local women, the skin color is different, alas, this is no way. But the ancestors made a rule, all men must learn the official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know if Mr. can understand what the old man said, the age is too long, maybe it has become too much. ”

Niu Jinxing listened to the old man's somewhat tasteful Da Song official words, sighed in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "The old man is really authentic, and he heard it very clearly in his later years, it is really authentic, it is really difficult for the elderly, and he still never forgets his hometown after hundreds of years." ”

After saying this, Niu Jinxing picked up a copy of the "Daming Dictionary" from the desk, asked the old man to look at the words on these dictionaries, and asked him to look at the Chinese Pinyin phonetic method newly compiled by Zhu Youxiao above. Then explain the changes of the generations to the old man one by one. The old man listened enthusiastically, and muttered "God bless Yan Huang, God bless Yan Huang".

The little chief and Carlos, who were left to the side, watched the conversation with tears in their eyes, and their hearts were shocked, they didn't understand what was going on, they really couldn't think of what the reason was, because they didn't know how long the ancestor worship culture in China was. There are many primitive tribes in the world that have the habit of ancestor worship, but they do not have such an ancestor worship culture as Huaxia, which is one of the reasons why only the Chinese civilization can still stand in the world until the 21st century.

Niu Jinxing understood that the status of the chieftain here was determined by the factor of strength, so he decided to leave some weapons and soldiers here, and let Chen Qingyun be the chieftain here, as for whether to colonize here, it was not something he could decide, it had to be something that Zhu Youxiao could decide. When he told the little chief about this through Carlos, the little chief did not hesitate at all, and immediately agreed.

Then Niu Jinxing discussed this matter with Yu Hualong, because this matter must be done with Yu Hualong's consent, which is also what Zhu Youxiao specially advised, but Yu Hualong proposed that Chen Qingyun can only act as the chief, which must be made clear, because I don't know what the emperor will mean in the future.

The discussion with Chen Qingyun is very simple, Chen Qingyun has long wanted to reproduce here, but he has not dared to make a difference due to his weak strength, and now with the backing of the Ming Dynasty, there may be many subsequent immigrants who will become a part of the Ming Dynasty, and he can be regarded as a glorious ancestor, unlike those who immigrated overseas in later generations are mostly those who have forgotten their ancestors, which is also the pride of the Chinese people in this era.
