Temasek, later known as Singapore, was controlled by the Loong Heong Group during this period. The Juyi Hall in the walled city has gathered a lot of people, and it can be said that almost all the big and small leaders of Liu Xiang's pirate group are here.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Juyi Hall was very serious, or rather, a little heavy. At least from the expressions of these people in the hall, you can see one or two.

These big and small bosses are listening to the spies' report.

"The Mughal Empire to the west of Dongwu sent an army to attack the Tang State, but as soon as it entered the territory of the Tang State, it was killed and annihilated, and the Ming army also took the opportunity to counterattack and captured almost twice the territory of the Tang State." The spy said with a shocked look, "The villain heard from the locals that the Ming army is very powerful and invincible, and even the great Shah Jahan is afraid. The land was lost, but he didn't dare to go to Daming to come back......"

His news is basically true, but it is much more exaggerated than the actual content. It's not that he intended to scare these big and small leaders, but when he heard it, he didn't know how many pieces of news it was. Originally, there was a panic on the Bengali side, and there were already exaggerated claims. After a few paraphrases, the extent of this exaggeration is not surprising.

Hearing such news, hearing the strength of Daming, Liu Xiang and the others' mood, it is strange that they can be good. Even if they knew that this news was exaggerated, it could still make Liu Xiang and their hearts extremely heavy!

After the spy finished talking about the Mughal Empire, he began to talk about the things in the east: "The army united by Nguyen Phuc Yuan and Xiyi was frightened by the Ming army, and later, they didn't dare to fight the Ming army at all, but just fled. However, their combat power is still very strong, at least they fought the Nanzhang and Angkor dynasties, all of which were like destroying the ancient and decaying, and it didn't take much effort at all. ”

"When the villain came back, he had already heard that this coalition army had fled to the southernmost seaside, and there was nowhere to escape, and finally forced the cannibalism to kill each other, and those Annam people killed all the Francophiles and surrendered to the Ming army."

Hearing this, one of the pirate leaders breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, they didn't continue to flee south, otherwise they would have fled all the way to our Temasek, and the imperial army would have been chasing after them, and it would be a big trouble!" ”

He breathed a sigh of relief, but when Liu Xiang heard it, his brows furrowed even tighter. The imperial court issued a wanted notice for these people, and that must be exterminated. Even if we didn't chase the Annan people to Temasek this time, what if we didn't get it right and took the initiative to send troops along the coastline to Temasek?

Thinking like this, he suddenly moved in his heart, and immediately leaned forward, stared at the spy and asked, "Those Annan people surrendered to the Ming army, what is the result?" How did the Ming army settle them? ”

Hearing this, almost all the big and small leaders in this Juyi Hall were in high spirits, just like Liu Xiang, they stared at the spies, and they wanted to know very much in their hearts, what would the imperial court do with these surrendered Annan?

To tell the truth, listening to the news of Da Ming's strength, they were all a little frightened in their hearts. Now he has fled to the South Seas. If Daming is stronger, there is a great possibility that Temasek will chase after him!

Those Annan people surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, if they were let go by the imperial court, not to mention the others, even Liu Xiang, they were all a little moved, whether to surrender to the imperial court. Otherwise, I am afraid that the sailors of the imperial court will appear in Temasek all day long. If those Hongyi can unite to deal with the imperial court together, then it's fine, but the key is that those Hongyi don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin, and they don't feel that the imperial court can pose a threat to them at all!

It is precisely because of this that they are very concerned about the final fate of the Annanite people.

"I heard that Ruan Fuyuan surrendered to the imperial court with the head of the Buddha Lang Jiren and countless gold, silver and jewelry!" When the spy said this, he noticed that the leaders had listened more carefully, so he raised his voice a little louder and continued, "However, that Ruan Phuc Yuan and some leaders were still punished by the Ming Dynasty. Their men were taken to build roads, which were said to be dangerous and that dead people were common! ”

After his words fell, the hall was very quiet. He could see that many of the leaders had disappointed expressions on their faces.

Liang Xiaozhen also noticed it, but when he rolled his eyes, he scolded the spy and said, "Don't always hear about it, is this news true?" ”

When the other leaders heard this, their spirits immediately perked up, and they were like dying people, who suddenly returned to their lights, and questioned the spies one after another.

"Your mother, the person who sent you to inquire about the news, why did you hear about it, and is there any real news?"

"The Annan people sold all the Franc machine people and gave them countless gold, silver and jewelry, how could the imperial court still be so ruthless? Are you mistaken? ”

“……”

When the spy heard this, he became anxious and hurriedly replied: "It is impossible for the villain to go back to China to verify this news. But the villain assured that these news are almost true. ”

The traffic in this era is so bad that it is impossible to verify everything in person. Liu Xiang understood this in his heart, so he did not pursue this further, but frowned and seemed to be a little annoyed and asked, "What else is the news?" ”

As he asked, he basically had a definitive conclusion about what the spy had said. This disappointed the other leaders, and it seemed that it was useless to want to surrender to the court.

Actually, it's not just them, even Liu Xiang had this idea just now. If you can, give some of the property you have robbed over the years to the imperial court, and if you can exchange it for Zhao'an, it will also be a good way out. It's just a pity that there is no such cheap thing!

They each thought about their own thoughts, and the spy replied to Liu Xiangdao: "The villain also heard a news that the original places of Nanzhang and Angkor also seem to be divided into feudal kings, and it is said that the possibility is at least eighty percent!" ”

Speaking of which, the spy finally finished the news he had inquired about, and then waited for the inquiry of the master.

But in the Juyi Hall, all the big and small pirate leaders didn't mean to speak, and they all had gloomy faces, or lowered their heads to think about something, or turned their heads to look at the big boss, wanting to hear what Liu Xiang thought.

However, Liu Xiang herself lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking, and she didn't mean to open her mouth at all. But it can be seen from his face that he is definitely not in a good mood.

"Big boss, this situation seems to be getting worse and worse for us!" Liang Xiaozhen, the third master, spoke first to break the silence in the Juyi Hall, and said to Liu Xiang, "There are more and more Ming troops in Luzon, and the news has been confirmed, it is to Feng Yi Wang come over." In this way, Luzon will be the place of the Ming Dynasty after that. Now Angkor and Annam are also vassal states, and this Nanyang is not safe! ”

Liu Xiang listened, looked up at him, and looked worried, suddenly, he sighed, and said a little angrily: "What the hell is the current emperor?" With peace of mind like the previous emperors, is it not good to only care about the country? ”

"I heard that the emperor is now wise and martial, and he has pacified Jianyu." Liang Xiaozhen also looked worried, but it was definitely not in her heart, and continued to say the facts that these pirates didn't want to remember, "There is nothing to do in the north, and it seems reasonable to turn your eyes to the south." ”

"Isn't there Mongolia in the north? Isn't the emperor afraid of the Mongols rebelling? When a pirate leader heard this, he couldn't help but interject.

Although they are all southerners, they have also heard of the Mongols in the northern steppe. At least the demise of the Central Plains Dynasty was almost all done by the peoples on the grassland. Over the years, the Ming Dynasty has also had countless grievances and grievances with the Mongols.

"That's right, that dog emperor is really full." Another pirate leader also replied indignantly, "The South Seas are so far away, and they have all reached out. With this leisure, it is better to spend more time on the grassland, and it is a serious thing to guard against those Mongolians! ”

Hearing this, seeing that several leaders were nodding, the spy who was standing hesitated for a moment and then said: "The villain also heard that the country has just granted amnesty to the world, and it is celebrating with the country!" Say yes ......"

"Have you made a prince? Or which woman gave birth to the Dog Emperor again? One of the leaders was impatient and interrupted him, "It's our business! ”

If you don't give Zhao'an, it's always okay to be rude to the emperor, right? Anyway, I'm in a bad mood!

"No, it's not a prince, it's not a cub!" When the spy heard this, he hurriedly replied, "I heard that the imperial army went deep into Mobei and took all the lairs of the Mongols, and then returned to the Tianshan Mountains and exterminated the Khalkha tribes. What else did the Oirat Mongols surrender to the Ming Dynasty and became the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty. The imperial court also wants to set up Mobei Province, a new province or something, anyway, it sounds like that means, that is, on the grassland, regardless of the southeast, northwest, and northwest, all of them have been pacified by the Ming Dynasty, and there will be no Mongolian disaster like before in the future! ”

The big and small pirate leaders in the "......" Juyi Hall all looked up at the spies, with a shocked face, even Mongolia can be pacified?

In their minds, the grasslands are like the sea, boundless. The Imperial Court can eliminate one pirate, but it cannot eradicate all pirates. The same is true for the grasslands. But I didn't expect that the problem of the Mongols, which had never been solved, would be solved by the current emperor? This is something that no emperor has ever solved in all dynasties!

If this is the case, it is no wonder that the imperial court began to extend its hand to the South Seas. Today's emperor is really idle!

Thinking like this, Liu Xiang and the other pirate leaders had even more ugly faces, and their mood at this time could be imagined how bad it was.

However, Liang Xiaozhen still had to sprinkle salt on their wounds, and it was he who broke the silence and said to Liu Xiang: "There are so many vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, looking like this, it seems that they have to be sealed outside." Then how many places are there in Nanyang, won't they all have to be given to the vassal king? ”

As soon as they heard this, the faces of these large and small pirate leaders in the Juyi Hall almost showed a look of despair. If this is the case, sooner or later the imperial court will send a large army to exterminate its own people!

Fight, can you beat Daming? If this is the case, why come all the way to the South Seas! Escape, now that I've fled so far, where else can I escape? If you run away again, you will be farther and farther away from your roots!

In the Juyi Hall, the clouds of sorrow are thick, and all the pirates, big and small, are worried about their future!

After a while, Liu Xiang suddenly thought of something, pointed at Liang Xiaozhen and said, "You just said that the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty are going to be sealed to Nanyang, right?" ”

He spoke suddenly, attracting everyone's attention. But everyone doesn't understand, what does the big boss mean by asking?

Liang Xiaozhen was no exception, a little confused about what Liu Xiang meant, so she replied thoughtfully: "I guessed this too." The big boss, you see, Luzon has been crowned King Yi, Dongwu has been crowned King Tang, Annan has been crowned King Fu, and now Nanzhang and Angkor are going to be crowned vassal kings. Look at this posture, don't you just want to seal the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty to Nanyang, don't you say? ”

When Liu Xiang heard this, she seemed a little excited, so she actually stood up from her seat, rubbed her hands, paced back and forth a few times, then stood up again, and said to Liang Xiaozhen: "I think you have a point, yes, you must be right." ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head to scan the people in the Juyi Hall again, and said to them: "Da Ming must want to seal out all the vassal kings, there is no doubt about this. Everyone must admit this, and when they go out in the future, when others ask, they must tell this fact! ”

"What do you mean, boss?" There is a leader who doesn't understand, looking at the meaning of the big boss, it seems that the Ming Dynasty has sealed all the vassal kings, and he is still very happy and happy!

Seeing everyone staring at him, Liu Xiang felt that his IQ was still above everyone else at this time, so he explained with a hint of excitement: "It is clear that the Ming Dynasty wants to seal so many vassal kings to Nanyang, so it must be to occupy the territory of Nanyang?" Now these territories are all owned by the owner! In this case, wouldn't everyone be able to unite and resist the imperial court together? ”

Hearing this, the eyes of all the pirates lit up. That's right! I have to talk about this, in this way, whether it is the monkeys of Nanyang or those Xiyi, they will definitely not be reconciled, and when the time comes, everyone will join forces, won't they have the strength to fight against the imperial court?

Thinking of this, a pirate leader also shouted: "Over there in Luzon, the Ming army is wantonly slaughtering and arresting those monkeys, we can also go around talking about this matter, just say that the court wants to kill all the monkeys!" ”

Before that, they had actually heard about Luzon. At that time, they felt that those monkeys could slaughter the bright people, but now that the Ming people are strong, don't be too normal to slaughter them in turn.

However, at this moment, they do not see it that way. One by one, they screamed, as if they were aggrieved by the monkeys of Luzon.

Liu Xiang was also happy to hear it, and sure enough, brainstorming was still useful. He immediately discussed it with these people again, and finally came up with a big plan.
