Sun Tianhao's lively personality is here again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info said hello to the others, and the natural good guy trotted all the way out of the crowd, tiptoeing in. Everyone had no choice but to follow again.

In the crowd, several officials were snatching something from an old man's hand. This old man is about 50 years old, but he is dressed in Ming Dynasty clothes.

Mu Suide separated from everyone, stepped forward to help the old man who was knocked to the ground and comforted him a few words, then turned to a few Vietnamese officials and said: "A few errand officials, this Long Dexiang has been operating here for several years, and there is no omission of any tax burden. I don't know what happened today, do you have to embarrass this old man? ”

The leading official recognized Mu Suide, arched his hand and said, "Boss Mu, it's not for me to be embarrassed." It's just that the king of the Qing capital has an order, but all the shops in the Ming Dynasty will pay two percent of the monthly tax plus silver, and those who refuse to pay will be sent to the official for questioning. Did Boss Mu see those people? The official said and pointed to a few chained merchants behind him, "They all refuse to pay, and we are also acting on orders." ”

Yao Han's low voice translated the conversation between the two sides towards Jiang Beiming and the others. After hearing this, Jiang Beiming walked over and took Mu Sui aside, stretched out his hand and took out his waist card and shook it at the Vietnamese official: "Brother Mu, please tell him that I am the Ming Dynasty Qincha and Hainan Wei Baihu." According to our treaty with Annan, all the crimes committed by our Ming people in Annan will be dealt with by our Ming officials, and Annan has no right to intervene and ask them to release them. ”

After listening to Jiang Beiming's words, Mu Suide did not translate them, but asked, "Is what Brother Jiang said true?" Is it true that the government of Annan, the people of the Ming Dynasty, can no longer be managed? ”

Jiang Beiming said with a smile: "It's true, the treaty just signed with Zheng Jie, Brother Mu still doesn't know. ”

Mu Suide's confidence suddenly came up, and his voice raised an octave: "Listen, this is Emperor Qincha of the Ming Dynasty, and the hundred households of Hainan Wei." Go back and ask your king of Qingdu, do you have the right to govern my people now, release them! ”

The Vietnamese official was frightened by Mu Suide's tone, stunned for a moment, and looked at Jiang Beiming again: "Who are you, why are you talking nonsense here." We are just following the instructions of the king of Qingdu, and you will interfere with the official office again, and even you will take it together. ”

The people around gathered more and more, and Xu Lang walked into the crowd and shouted: "All the people of the Ming Dynasty hear. We are the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has just signed a treaty with the Annan Kingdom, and all the Ming people in the Annan Kingdom will not be subject to the jurisdiction of the Annan Kingdom in the future. All disputes will be handled by our Ming officials. ”

After Xu Lang finished shouting, the Chinese in the crowd began to whisper: "Is this true, our emperor really sent someone?" Can we not be angry anymore? ”

After listening to the translation given to him by the person next to him, the Vietnamese official couldn't help but smoke, and shook the iron chain in his hand: "Come on, take down these thieves who are deceiving the public." ”

Before he finished shouting, a hand was put on his head, and Sun Tianhao said viciously: "Didn't you hear the words of the Minister of the Heavenly Empire?" Let go! ”

Xu Lang helped Mu Suide, who was a little unsteady next to him, pulled out his hand from his clothes, and fired a shot at the sky.

The crowd around them dispersed in a hurry, and a few Vietnamese officials turned around and ran away regardless of whether anyone had committed a crime. Xu Lang stepped forward and took off the iron chain on the old man who was already scared, and comforted: "Old man, don't be afraid. With us here, the Annan people don't dare to bully you anymore. I, the Ming Empire, will never give up on any of its subjects. ”

"Yes, yes, sir." The old man reacted, "You guys go quickly, they will be here in a while." ”

"Old man, go back too, take care." Jiang Beiming was speechless Xu Lang's shooting move, but it was already like this, Jiang Beiming said to everyone: "Let's go quickly, go back and tell Yang Tao to get ready." Tianhao, you go and inform Wang Zhaoxing and ask him to drive the boat outside Thang Long City, damn it, you have to fight again. ”

The sky had just darkened, and the torches outside Mu Suide's mansion were bright, and the voices of people were boiling. A group of Vietnamese officers and soldiers, led by a general, surrounded Mu Suide's house.

"The people inside listened, according to the order of the king of the Qing capital, arrest the criminals, open the door of the mansion, and avoid anyone who has nothing to do." An official shouted loudly in Chinese.

"Is it General Nguyen Qi on the other side? Farewell to Hongji, don't come to General Ruan unharmed? Jiang Beiming, who was standing behind the wall, recognized through the firelight that the general who led the troops was Nguyen Qi, the general of the Vietnamese army in the Battle of Annam.

Ruan Qi also recognized Jiang Beiming at this time, and couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart: "Why did they come to Shenglong Mansion?" ”

"Jiang Baihu." Ruan Qi also shouted loudly, "We are here to arrest criminals on the order of the king of the Qing capital, and I also ask Jiang Baihu not to interfere." ”

"How's it going, how many of them came?" Xu Lang stood beside Jiang Beiming and slowly poked his head out from behind the wall, "Damn, there are a lot of people, there have to be one or two hundred, can we withstand it." ”

"Go down, go down. Don't be nervous, there are up to 10 people side by side on this road, and it's useless to have a lot of them. Jiang Beiming pressed Xu Lang's head back again, "General Ruan, today's matter, please also ask the general to tell the king of Qingdu that according to our treaty, you have no right to arrest the people of the Ming Dynasty." Please ask the general to withdraw his troops and go back, and I will meet the king of Qingdu another day. ”

Jiang Beiming dragged the time with Ruan Qi on the wall, and Xu Lang ordered Yang Tao's infantry platoon in a low voice: "Divide into 2 groups, check all the ammunition, load all the ammunition, and fire as soon as you have an order." ”

Fifteen flintlock pistols crept out of the wall. Ruan Qi was very entangled in his heart at this time, just looking at this small courtyard, there were not many people hidden in it. If you order an attack now, maybe you can capture Jiang Beiming and the others alive, and you can get rid of the shame of the defeat of the day before. But in case the people inside carry the kind of fire system that can kill elephants, these people under their own command will not be able to rush through at all, and once the two sides exchange fire, it is difficult to say how things will develop. Although now the king of Qingdu knows that these people are not the Ming Dynasty at all, but what they promised has really been done, according to the treaty, the first batch of 20,000 taels of silver has been sent to the Qingdu palace a few days ago. If the two sides start a war again for this matter, who knows if the king of Qingdu will blame himself for losing the 80,000 taels of silver behind.

Ruan Qi thought of this, quietly said a few words to the people behind him, and shouted at Jiang Beiming: "Jiang Baihu, our treaty will be obeyed. But the king's order is here, and I ask Jiang Baihu to forgive me, I will definitely take someone today. ”

"Jokes." Jiang Beiming sneered, "General Ruan, this mansion is full of my Ming people, dare to ask why the general takes people?" ”

Ruan Qi no longer spoke to Jiang Beiming, but beckoned: "Come on, knock open the door." ”

Several Vietnamese men came running from behind carrying a log. Jiang Beiming took out his hand and fired a shot at the sky: "General Ruan, if the general insists on going his own way, Hugh blames the official for not warning the general in advance." ”

Ruan Qi was ruthless: "Go up and knock open the door." ”

"Fire." Jiang Beiming knew that it would not work if he didn't fight, and 15 flintlock pistols were fired at the same time, and the Vietnamese on the opposite side crackled and fell a few, and the heavy log fell to the ground at once, and another one fell.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!"

Jiang Beiming had just squatted behind the wall when several crossbow arrows flew overhead.

"Fire!" The 15 flintlock pistols of the second group fired another volley of shells through the smoke.

"Jiang Baihu, this is Shenglong Mansion, not your barracks, Jiang Baihu wants to resist to the end?" Ruan Qi saw that there were more than a dozen fires on the wall all the time, and there was no such continuous fire as at the beginning, and he didn't feel more confident.

Jiang Beiming squatted behind the wall and didn't dare to show his head: "General Ruan, we are soldiers of the Ming Empire, and it is our duty to protect any overseas Ming people." The general should not say much, and if the general insists on fighting, just let the horse come. ”

Mu Suide, who was hiding in the house, heard Jiang Beiming's words and unconsciously shed two lines of tears.

"Beiming, Beiming, they seem to be here again." Xu Lang secretly stuck out his head, but saw another team of officers and soldiers coming from behind.

"His grandmother, this is to kill us all." Jiang Beiming scolded, "Damn, Lao Tzu is not a vegetarian. Yang Tao, signal. ”

"Yes." Three fireworks bombs hit the sky in Yang Tao's hands.

Not long after, a row of rumbling cannons came from the river outside Thang Long Province.

"General Nguyen." Jiang Beiming shouted loudly again, "Did the general hear the sound of artillery?" The fleet of the Ming Empire is waiting for the rest of the day, and if the general has to fight again, we will bombard the Shenglong Mansion! ”

"Jiang Qin is a little calm, and he has something to say." This time it was not Ruan Qi who spoke, the voice of Zheng Jie, the king of the Qing capital, came from outside the wall, "Jiang Qincha has come to Shenglong Mansion, why don't you go to the palace to talk about it, now there is such a big misunderstanding, this king is very unhappy." Please also ask the Qin to come out and speak. ”

Jiang Beiming and Xu Lang glanced at each other at the same time: "Why is this old fox here?" ”

"Yang Tao, take 2 classes to guard the wall, Xu Lang, go out with me." After Jiang Beiming finished speaking, he walked out of the gate with Xu Lang and a squad of soldiers.

"When did Jiang Qincha arrive at my Shenglong Mansion?" At the gate of Mu Suide, Zheng Jie sat in a sedan chair and said to Jiang Beiming, who had just come out, and Ruan Qi stood behind him.

"In the middle of the night, the three watches disturbed the king of Qingdu Yameng, the official is ashamed, and the king of Qingdu forgives me." Jiang Beiming also arched his hand at Zheng Jie.

"Well said, well said." Zheng Jie said again and again, "Since Jiang Qincha has arrived in the local area, how about going to the palace to talk about it?" ”

"Thank you King Qingdu for your kindness." Xu Lang, who was behind Jiang Beiming, replied first, "If it's too late today and it's inconvenient to disturb the King of Qingdu, I'll wait for tomorrow to pay a visit, but this general, do you want to ask the King of Qingdu to withdraw?" ”

"Huh." Zheng Jie smiled, "It's a misunderstanding, it's natural." The king will be waiting for you tomorrow in the palace. ”

After Zheng Jie's words, he sat back in the sedan chair and waved his hand at Ruan Qiyi, "Go home." ”

Mu Suide's door was slammed shut, and Jiang Beiming and Xu Lang came to the main hall.

"Are they gone, what did Zheng Jie say?" As soon as the two of them entered the house, Cheng Yiyi couldn't wait to ask.

"Let's go, let's go to the palace tomorrow, it's time to have a good talk with Zheng Jie." Xu Lang replied.

"Brother Jiang, Brother Xu, please accept Mu Mou's worship." Mu Suide suddenly knelt on the ground and saluted Jiang Beiming and Xu Lang.

"Brother Mu, what do you mean, please get up quickly." The two hurriedly pulled Mu Suide up from the ground, "We provoked this matter, so naturally we will deal with it, and we will cause trouble for Brother Mu." ”

"No, no." Mu Suide explained, "Mu didn't visit the two for today's business, but for Brother Jiang's words." ”

"My word? Which sentence? Jiang Beiming really couldn't remember what he had said to Mu Suide to make him behave like this.

"Brother Jiang just said that it is the duty of the soldiers of the Ming Empire to protect any overseas Ming people." Mu Suide quietly looked out the window, saying to himself, "Mu came to Annan with his father when he was young, and it has been more than 20 years. In the past 20 years, Mu has tasted the pain of strangers in a foreign land. The Annan government stipulates that those who settle here must intermarry with the locals, so the two wives and concubines married by Mu are all from Annan. And forbade us to return to Daming, and the last time Mrs. Yao returned to China, she also walked quietly. More importantly, the Annam court forbade us to promote Chinese culture and communicate with the locals. We waited for us to leave our homeland, and we were bullied in this foreign land, and we trembled and did not dare to say much in order to sleep peacefully. But I wait for my heart to the homeland, my heart to the Ming Dynasty, looking through the world, I only hope that our situation can reach the heavens, but it is a pity that the north looks at the king year after year. ”

Mu Suide told his feelings, and unconsciously shed tears again.

Jiang Beiming wiped the corners of his eyes: "Brother Mu, from now on, as long as there is a place where my Ming banner is flying, as long as there is a place where my Ming soldiers, no one can bully any of my Ming people." ”
