When Norbu fled again, another wanted criminal of the Ming Dynasty was living a very prosperous life, or rather, he was thriving and had a tendency to rise again, he was Liu Xiang.

After landing in Mexico with the only remaining boatload of men, he knew what Xiyi would like based on his years of experience dealing with Xiyi. Therefore, after he arrived, he used his power to stir up trouble among the Chinese and make a fortune and prestige.

The Chinese who were originally in Mexico were a vulnerable group and a group that was oppressed. And Liu Xiang's arrival once again oppressed them and made them miserable, but there was no one to call the shots for them. In the end, I really felt that I couldn't stand it anymore, so I pushed a few people and went to the governor's palace to beg.

So, Liu Xiang was ordered to go to the Spanish governor's palace and was summoned by the governor of Mexico: "You are the leader of the Ming people?" “

The face of the governor of Mexico was a little unsightly, and he had a cold face.

"The villain is the head of all Ming people!" Liu Xiang was not ashamed, and responded in one bite, with a smile on his face, and then presented the gift that had been prepared in his hand with both hands, "This is a little caution from the villain to the Governor, and please accept it with a smile!" ”

When the governor of Mexico saw it, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and when he opened it, he saw that there was a box of silver ingots in the box, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

When Liu Xiang saw it, he knew that Xiyi was a raccoon dog, and his heart was very calm, so he continued to grovel and smiled: "Lord Governor, the villain is not talented, and he is willing to help Lord Governor take care of those Ming people." Not only can you help the Governor collect the annual taxes, but you can also pay an additional 10% of the taxes to the Governor himself. ”

When the governor of Mexico heard this, he immediately laughed, got up from his seat, and walked in front of Liu Xiang.

Originally, Liu Xiang was taller than the Mexican governor, but at this time, when he saw the Mexican governor walking in front of him, he bent his waist and automatically became shorter, and his face remained unchanged.

When the governor of Mexico saw it, he couldn't help but feel more satisfied, and immediately reached out to pat Liu Xiang's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Very good, I am very satisfied with you." In this way, in the future, the Ming people on the Mexican side will be under your control. But remember your promises! ”

In fact, there are a lot of Ming people in Mexico, and they are similar to the Ming people in other places, hardworking and capable, which is the label of Ming people, for this reason, no matter where they go, they can slowly accumulate wealth and be squeezed by the locals.

Now that Liu Xiang has come to Mexico, he used his power to wantonly oppress his compatriots, and took the initiative to work for Xiyi, and won Xiyi's favor at once.

"Don't worry, Lord Governor, the villain has the support of Lord Governor, and they will absolutely do whatever they tell those people to do, otherwise I won't be able to clean them up!" Liu Xiang nodded and bowed, but with a hint of ferocity, "We have a saying in Mingguo, our own people know their own people, and if there are villains, we are not afraid that those people will turn the sky upside down, and they will not be able to deceive me, the villains will definitely eat them to death!" ”

When the governor of Mexico heard this, he immediately burst out laughing, and became more and more satisfied with Liu Xiang, so he promised again: "Yes, yes, in this way, I will give you the power to form a patrol, and you will help me take care of those bright people!" ”

"The villain obeys!" When Liu Xiang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.

At the gate of the Governor's Palace, there were two groups of Ming people confronting each other, and one of them, although the number was a little smaller, stared at the people on the opposite side very fiercely. With their expressions, it seemed that if they hadn't cared about the Spanish guards standing guard at the door, they would have rushed up to teach the people on the other side a lesson.

And the people on the opposite side are mainly some older people, only two young men. It's all about melancholy. One of the old men looked a little weak and frightened on his side, so he whispered to his companion: "Don't worry, the Governor has listened to our appeal and passed on Liu Xiang's thief, and will definitely warn him that we will have a better life in the future." ”

"Elder Liu is right, we have been here for so many years, and we have been offering to the Spaniards for so many years." Another middle-aged man chimed in in a low voice, "They're new here, and they're not looking for work, the Spaniards definitely don't like people like them, and the Governor will help us!" ”

Hearing the two of them speak one after another, the faces of these people all looked a little better. The young men even had the courage to look at the thieves on the other side, and glared back angrily.

Under such a confrontation, there was movement inside, and Liu Xiang was seen swaggering out, accompanied by a Spaniard.

Seeing this, those pirates suddenly became happy, and shouted excitedly: "Big brother, big brother......

And Liu Lao's group of people couldn't help but sink in their hearts, feeling a little bad.

When Liu Xiang arrived at the door, he groveled and said to the Spaniard: "Please stay here, the adults are busy, and the villain will only take care of the rest!" ”

When the Spaniard heard this, he enjoyed Liu Xiang's flattery very much, nodded immediately, muttered a few words to the guards at the door, and then turned around and walked back without looking at Liu Lao's group.

Liu Xiang bowed to see him off, and when he was far away, his waist straightened, and when he turned around, his face was already fierce, and he immediately shouted to his subordinates: "What are you doing in a daze, this group of Diao people dare to come to the Governor's Mansion to sue us, and they don't do it?" ”

When the men heard this, they were all overjoyed. They are outlaws, and they are the best at this thing. They all pulled out their knives and rushed over, and at once they forced Liu Lao and his group, who had no weapons at all, to stop, and then in front of the Governor's Palace, they beat them to death with heavy hands, until everyone, whether young or old, no one stood anymore, and then they were considered to have stopped.

Liu Xiang walked up to them with his hands behind his back, looked down at the Ming people lying on the ground, didn't care about their painful moans at all, and shouted coldly: "Your Excellency the Governor said that in the future, all the Ming people here in Mexico will be under my control." If anyone refuses to accept it, Lao Tzu will beat him until he is convinced! ”

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and said proudly: "Go!" ”

didn't care about these things on the ground, just like that, Liu Xiang took his men and left.

When the Spanish guards at the gate of the Doge's Palace saw this, they not only did not interfere, but stood there pointing and grinning, as if they were watching a monkey show.

Although the young man was beaten the hardest, he was finally vigorous, and he got up first, and then helped the old man up.

Looking at each other, they all had blue noses and swollen faces, and multiple scars on their bodies. Everyone's face was full of despair. Fight, can't defeat these outlaws who were born as pirates, and ask the official lord to call the shots, but it is obvious that the Spanish official lord is on the side of the pirates.

How do you live these days?

They supported each other to go back, and dealt another blow to their compatriots who were waiting there.

What to do, and what should be done in the future?

Originally, for whatever reason, they came across the ocean, and under the rule of the Spaniards, they were already living a very difficult life, and now with the oppression of these pirates, the future days are really unimaginable!

"Alas, my old bones look like they have to be buried here!" Liu Lao sighed.

Everyone else knows that Liu Lao's wish is to return to his roots, so he wants to save more silver and pay more money to the Spaniards, hoping to take him back to Daming. But now, almost everyone's money has been knocked out by Liu Xiang's gang of pirates.

These pirates, who are also Ming people, are more ruthless than the Spaniards, and they know the habits of the Ming people, so they can't hide them at all, and how many family backgrounds they have can be estimated by them.

"Uncle Liu, instead of sitting here and waiting, let's take a boat back by ourselves!" One of the young men who was beaten suddenly said angrily, "Even if you die at sea on the way home, there is always a glimmer of hope!" ”

When the men who were in the room heard this, they all looked at the young man. However, Liu Lao sighed and said: "Siming, the vast sea, we don't know the route, how to get back?" Besides, we don't have a Spanish sailboat, and if we go to sea alone, we will die! ”

The others listened and nodded. Siming, surnamed Wei, was about to speak after hearing this, and the other older one also followed and said: "Siming, you were born here, I'm afraid you don't know, in fact, life in Daming is not very good, the government pays heavy taxes, and there are many servitudes." If you hadn't had a hard life, you wouldn't have been deceived and said that life here is good! ”

"Yes, life in China is not lived by people, I just escaped labor and hid on a nearby island to live, but I was bumped into and plundered by the Spaniards." Another older one followed suit,

When Wei Siming heard it, he didn't care: "My father and mother gave me this name, just to want me to go back to Daming one day." Anyway, over there, at least we're black-haired and yellow-skinned, and we don't need to see the Spaniards to nod our heads. Here, there is simply no hope. Are we treated as human beings by them here? ”

This is also true, and when they heard this, the people in the room couldn't help but fall silent.

Wei Siming touched the bag on his forehead, gritted his teeth, and decided: "No matter what, even if I die, I would rather die on the sea back to China, and I never want to be oppressed by Xiyi and that group of pirates!" ”

When Liu Lao heard this, he sighed and said, "In fact, even if we can return to China after nine deaths, the government may arrest us as hidden households." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly changed his words and said: "But I'm already old, the fallen leaves return to the roots, no matter how I go back, no matter whether I can go back or not, it's so decided, Siming, let's go together!" ”

Seeing that the attitude of both of them was very resolute, the others were also a little moved. Eventually, three or four more older people made the decision to go together. Most of the others were silent.

After all, in their opinion, the likelihood of going back is extremely low. The biggest possibility is to die on the ocean back home and die at the bottom of the sea. Few people have the courage to take such a risk.

Seeing this, Liu Lao said to the people in the house: "Then that's it, you go back and ask quietly, if anyone is willing to go back together, then we will be together at that time!" ”

And just like that, the people in the room dispersed with despair for the future.

What Wei Siming didn't expect was that the next day, when he was quietly packing up his things, suddenly, a companion hurriedly broke into his house, and said to him in a little panic: "Brother Siming, you run away, someone has told you that you are going to escape, Liu Xiang's gang of pirates came to arrest you, saying that they would beat you to death in public, and kill chickens and monkeys!" ”

When Wei Siming heard this, he immediately panicked, he couldn't beat those people at all, and it was difficult to fight hard. So, he didn't pack up his things and fled quickly.

Liu Lao and others also got a report from their compatriots, and they joined Wei Siming and immediately escaped into the mountains and forests.

After a few days, exhausted, they finally fled to the seashore. Here, there is a relatively large fishing boat, and it is because of this that they have the idea of taking a boat back by themselves. If you don't have a boat, you don't have to think about it.

But before they could prepare anything, Liu Xiang's men chased after them, forcing them to sail out to sea immediately.

In the vast sea, they were exhausted, and their faces were full of despair. Originally, it was a return journey of nine deaths and a lifetime, and if you are well prepared, maybe there will be more hope. But now he fled in such a hurry that he didn't even have enough fresh water for a few days, and he was sure to die on the sea.

After Liu Lao breathed a sigh of relief, he made a decision: "Let's go north first, find a place where no one is around, and then land and prepare supplies again." ”

"I've also looked at the map, it seems that the north side will be a little narrower, maybe it will be easier to return to Daming!" The other person also echoed and said.

At this time, there is actually a map of the world that is inaccurate, but at least there is an idea.

The others had no opinion and headed north.

After a few days, they felt that they should break away from the control of the Spaniards, which meant that Liu Xiang's group of pirates should not chase after them, so they leaned towards the coast.

On the fishing boat, Liu Lao's condition was not very good. When he was old, the injuries he was beaten by Liu Xiang and others were not yet healed, so he hurriedly ran day and night, and his body could not bear it and he became ill.

In fact, the health of other people is not much better, almost a boatload of injuries. It's just that Wei Siming is young, and it's not a big deal.

At this time, the people on the ship, everyone was lifeless, lifeless, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing. In the hearts of each of them, they actually know that in this way, it is impossible to cross the ocean and return to their hometown.

Even Wei Siming was depressed, just controlling the boat to the coast.

In a drowsy state, Wei Siming suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly cheered up to take a look, and suddenly became frightened, only to see that a sailboat flying the Spanish flag was already very close to them. He could even see the bow of the ship, and there were a few Xiyi standing there watching them.

Suddenly, everyone panicked and wanted to escape. However, people are big sails, and they can't run at all. Now, they are really desperate!
