Chapter Seventy-Five: Fresh Water and the Chicken Coop
At this time, a big man with a messy face painted with a mess of colors came out, and said in a strange tone: "You want to come and rob us of our things, what else can you say well." ”
Chen Houfu shook his head and said, "We didn't want to rob you of your things, we came here to give you things." ”
The big man pursed his lips and smiled: "Send something? You built a camp here just to give us something? Was it sent to the camp? ”
Chen Houfu also smiled and said: "There are gifts we gave you in the camp, bows and arrows you like, steel knives, and food you have never eaten, I don't know if you like it or not." ”
Dahan was stunned for a moment and said, "I understand, you want to trick us into entering the camp and then catch us together, right?" Haha, you Han people are insidious, we won't fall for you. ”
Chen Houfu still smiled: "It's easy to know if we deceived you and detained me here, and you only went to a few people to see if you could get a gift." ”
The big man thought for a while, and felt that this method was good, and it should not be easy to be fooled, so he ordered three people: "Scar, the three of you take one person to the camp to see if there are any gifts, if they deceive people, I will kill the three here to avenge you." ”
There is a terrifying knife on Scar's face, and the flesh is turned outward, which is a little scary to look at. The three of them were about to go to the Ming army camp with one of the guards, and Chen Houfu said to the guard: "Send a few people to send the gifts to them, so as not to trouble them to move them again." ”
The guard nodded and came to the outside of the camp with his scars, Chen Houfu had already said it was good, so soon the soldiers brought out the wine, knives, bows and arrows and piled them up at the gate of the camp.
The scars looked at each other, it seemed that the Ming army was indeed here to give them gifts, and the guard said: "Do you want us to send it for you, you can't move so much." ”
Scar made a fierce ideological struggle in his heart, and finally resisted the desire in his heart, and said with difficulty: "No, let's show some to my eldest brother first, and see what my eldest brother says." ”
So Scar took a few of everything and returned to the place where Zheng Zhan met them. He put the things down and said, "Big brother, they really sent us a lot of things. ”
The big man gave Chen Houfu a thumbs up and said, "You really didn't lie to me, but I don't believe that you came specifically to give us gifts." What do you have to say, you can say it now. ”
Chen Houfu was already sitting on the ground at this time, he stood up and made a gesture: "We have taken a look here, you seem to be only interested in the mountains and forests, and the fertile land by the river is completely abandoned here, which is a pity, because what we need is just flat land. So I don't think you'd object to farming on this flat land. ”
The Han thought to himself that he was only suitable for living in the mountains, and that flat land was of no use to their people, and that if these people were friendly, they would be able to live on flat land. Of course, an important reason why he thought so was that the Ming army was too numerous, you know, their tribe only had more than 500 people in total.
Since he had already thought about it in his heart, the big man was no longer verbose, so he stretched out his hand, rubbed a little paint from his face, and then applied it to Chen Houfu's face. Chen Houfu remained motionless in the process and let him do whatever he wanted.
After the big man finished painting, he said to Chen Houfu: "I, the shuttle standard of the small leaf department, am willing to form a brother with you." ”
Chen Houfu was overjoyed: "I, the Ming Chen Houfu, am willing to form a brother with Brother Suobiao, and we are willing to live in peace with Xiaoyebu and never violate each other." ”
Suo Biao nodded: "I hope that Brother Chen Houfu will remember his words and never infringe." ”
Chen Houfu thought that there was still some more worship ceremony, but he just said it, so Suo Biao took the three of them down the mountain and came to the camp together. Chen Houfu instructed: "Kill pigs and sheep, and entertain our brothers in Xiaoyebu." ”
Suo Biao first asked the sentinels of the Ming army to detoxify the blowing arrows, and then began to drink the wine brought by the Ming people in large bowls, and the natives did not seem to be very accustomed to this kind of wine, and soon poured it sideways and everywhere at the table.
The guards who came back first said to Chen Houfu: "General, why don't we do it together, so that we can avoid a lot of trouble." ”
Chen Houfu patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't be too short-sighted, they still have a large number of people on the mountain, and they are not the only tribe on the mountain, we have to use Xiaoye to show our friendliness, not to use it to establish power, it is always good to be able to fight without dying." ”
They didn't wake up until midnight, and they looked at Chen Houfu who was guarding next to him and said: "Your brother is really good, if you have anything in the future, just report my name to Shuo." ”
Chen Houfu said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Suobiao, I hope to be able to become an ally with Xiao Yebu, and in the future, we can communicate with each other and become a close family." ”
A few days later, he sent two of his subordinates to the Ming army garrison with a flag of Xiaoye to sign of the alliance, and Chen Houfu sent back a flag of honor in their army, so that the two sides became a formal alliance.
The Ming army on the Tamsui side was progressing well, and the castle was being improved at a relatively fast pace. Zheng Zhan, on the other hand, met another group of aborigines at the chicken coop.
When Zheng Zhan disembarked from the chicken coop, he found that there were already sparse houses on the plain, of course, it was better to say that it was a house than a shack, and it looked dilapidated. Zheng Zha approached these shacks with more than a dozen sailors with firearms.
When their ship came, the aborigines here had already seen it, so when Zheng Zhan walked to the shack, there were already many people with hoes and iron forks waiting for them.
Zheng Zha's laughter couldn't help but see this situation, he stopped the sailors and unloaded his weapons. A man with his hands raised came to the front of the aborigines and said, "Hello fellow citizens. ”
For his greeting, the aborigines didn't pay attention to it at all, and Zheng Zhan didn't care, and said with a smile: "We have no malice, can you please send a leader out to talk to us?" ”
At this time, a rough man on the opposite side stepped forward and said, "This is our place, please leave." ”
Zheng Zha smiled, this tone was too big, he said: "Please rest assured, as long as it is a place you reclaim, we will not occupy it, we will only reclaim wasteland where you have no use." ”
The big man said angrily: "All the land here is ours, there is no place where we are useless, you go quickly, or I will kill you all carefully." ”
All kinds of requests, thank you for your support!
