Chapter 512: Don't Be That Troublesome!
With Wu Shuang's order, the fleet began to lower its sails and slow down. The shallow draft of the Fukubune began to pull towards the small pier, and they measured the depth of the water as they went.
When arriving at the small pier, the fortune boat naturally looked at the pier. It can be seen that the water ripple conditions here are also excellent, enough to dock large warships.
Thirty soldiers of the Changxing Army disembarked one after another and dragged three small boats aside. After the dock is cleaned, let other ships dock.
The village not far from the wharf is in chaos at the moment, and the people inside are shouting and barking. Some shouted loudly for people to climb the wall to guard the village, and some people working in the fields rushed towards the village.
The farm tools they were working on were left in the field, and there was a buffalo. It seems that the village is doing well, at least there is money left over to buy buffaloes.
The Changxing army didn't pay attention to the chaotic villages at all, but just docked one by one to unload soldiers and supplies.
It wasn't until more than 500 people landed that the people in the village could no longer sit still. The soldiers in bright armor alone have already surpassed the men in the village, not to mention the continuous unloading of people from the ships behind them.
The door of the village was opened, and a middle-aged man and five or six young men walked towards the dock with their burdens.
When the middle-aged man walked in, the soldiers of the Changxing Army pointed their guns at them: "Stop! What for? ”
A few young men who were carrying the burden almost dropped their things and ran away, and the black hole was aimed at them, making their scalps tingle!
The middle-aged man forced a smile on his face and said, "Grandpa Hao! Wang Lishan, the patriarch of the small Wangjia Village, here is a little bit of our heart, and I hope that the good man and grandfather will smile! As he spoke, he asked Qing Zhuang to show the things to the long marching soldiers.
"Wait! You are waiting here now, my family is not free, and I will call you when the adults are free. Don't run around, or you'll be killed, don't blame me for not reminding you! ”
Several villagers were so frightened that they shrank their necks, and the face of the royal patriarch showed a bitter gourd color. The group of people was dismissive of what he had brought out, and that was a nuisance.
Seeing the Changxing army and strong horses, the patriarch knew that he was invincible, and it was much better to be able to break the fortune and send away this group of strongmen than to be breached in the village.
He hurriedly brought two hundred taels of silver in the village, two fat pigs, and a lot of silk silk. It stands to reason that there are already a lot of these things, more than three hundred taels of silver, but the other party didn't even look at it, and the royal patriarch knew that today's affairs might not be good.
But the strength of the long march was in front of him, and he had no room to resist at all, so he could only wait patiently to the sidelines.
This was nearly two hours, and they were not allowed to enter until the long march of a thousand men had landed and set up camp.
The royal patriarch walked in the barracks nervously, and the army in front of him was the only one he had ever seen in his life. There was no noise in the huge camp, and everyone was silently doing their own thing.
Occasionally, a command was given, and the soldiers immediately stood up and saluted to carry it out. If you want to say that these people are pirates, the royal patriarch will not believe it.
But if the elite army of the court came to Taiyuan Island again, why did they come again? You must know that Taiyuan Island has always been looked down upon by the Ming Dynasty, and this island has not been regarded as the territory of the Ming Dynasty at all.
He followed the soldiers of the Changxing Army to the outside of the big tent, and the soldiers went in to report, and the royal patriarch waited carefully outside the door. It didn't take long for the soldiers to come out and let him in.
Entering the tent, the patriarch saw a young officer sitting behind the bookcase in the center. This person looks dignified and talented, and his gestures reveal a sense of elegance.
"The villain Wang Yanshan has seen the general, and the little one has brought some gifts, and the general is invited to smile!" When Wang Yanshan saw Wu Shuang, he immediately fell to his knees, kowtowing as he spoke.
Wu Shuang saw that it was a middle-aged man who came in, nodded slightly and said, "The royal family grows up!" Let's not talk about the labor army or the labor army, you came just in time, and I will tell you about the charter of the Changxing Army! ”
When Wang Yanshan heard Wu Shuang's words, his face turned white all of a sudden. He secretly screamed in his heart, and he had to squeeze out a smile on his face and listen carefully.
"The entire Taiyuan Island has been owned by the Changxing Army, and the people on the island, including you, will be under the jurisdiction of the Changxing Army. The Changxing army here has taken a fancy to it, and if you want to build a city here, you have two choices. First, all of you moved to another place and built another village. Second, you stayed behind to help the Changxing army build the city. On the day Freshwater City was built, you were the inhabitants of the city. Wu Shuang looked at the person in front of him and said softly.
"Ahh Wang Yanshan didn't expect the Changxing Army to be so domineering, there was no room for negotiation at all, and they directly occupied their land. Surprised, he screamed, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Your Excellency! You can't drive us away, we have been operating here for generations in Wangjia Village. How are we going to live without this? You're okay! ......”
Wu Shuang was not moved at all, stared at Wang Yanshan and said: "Choose the second way, and the army that participates in the construction of the city will pay you wages, and you will not be hungry." In addition, the land here will be re-planned, and each person will be allocated five acres of land at that time, and the surplus Changxing Army will be recovered. Go back and think about it! I will receive an answer early tomorrow morning, and if there is no reply, Changxingjun will choose the first article according to you. Let's go down! ”
Wang Yanshan didn't know how he got out of the camp, and even the young people who were waiting outside came up to inquire about the results, and ignored the results, and walked straight to Wangjia Village. His ancestors brought their people across the ocean to come here, and they have been living here for nearly a hundred years.
For a hundred years, their royal family traveled between Taiyuan Island and Fujian with the help of sea ships. While farming, he bought fur and mountain goods from the hands of the natives, making the entire Wangjia Village rich.
Wang Yanshan originally wanted to live the same life as his ancestors and thrive in this land far from the mainland. The sudden appearance of Changxingjun broke his dream and directly gave him an ultimatum.
He is reluctant to inherit here, and don't think about moving elsewhere. They managed to settle down here, and the price to pay for moving elsewhere was too great for him to afford. But just give up Wangjiacun and be very reluctant, what should I do?
When I returned to the village and told the two roads of the Changxing Army, all the villagers stopped doing it. The villagers were noisy and noisy, and many young people were shouting that they would fight to the death with Changxingjun.
Early the next morning, the young people of Wangjia Village spontaneously climbed the wall. One by one, they looked at the Changxing Army with weapons in hand, and they had the posture of a big fight.
"Xiucai! This group of dirt buns really don't cry when they don't see the coffin, let me take someone to give them some color and see! Old Mazi muttered beside Wu Shuang.
"It doesn't have to be that much trouble! Let's get a few shots from the armed merchant ships! ”
