Xing Shenyan's first words stunned the Han patriarch who understood. He thought he hadn't heard clearly, and asked.

After receiving an affirmative answer, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Xing Shenyan. Although the Dry Silk People provided them with protection, the taxes they collected were so high that they were a little overwhelmed.

This is because Chicken Coop Bay is too far away from Manila of the Dry Silk People, and it is very difficult to replenish it. The defenders of Chicken Coop Bay starved to death on supplies from Manila, and in order to live a better life, they had to crush the nearby villages.

This situation was only improved with the arrival of the Ming maritime merchants, and the Ganlasi people sold the purchased sulfur and fur to the Ming merchants in exchange for food and necessities, so that Jilong Bay continued to exist proudly.

After the other three indigenous patriarchs heard the translation given to them by the Han people, they also gave Xing Shenyan a salute.

Xing Shenyan didn't expect that just a nominal tax exemption would win the hearts of the locals, which was too important for the Changxing Army.

Changxingjun is not familiar with the place in Jilong Bay, and many things need to be consulted by the locals. In particular, it is necessary to make contact with the major forces in the vicinity, which requires the help of the locals.

For friendly locals, the Changxing Army not only does not collect taxes, but also gives certain support. Strikes must be dealt at those hostile forces and, if necessary, extreme measures must be taken.

The death brigade brought is the one who does these dirty work, although the people of the death brigade are missing. However, Zheng Zhilong's subordinates also had Japanese warriors, and the recruits of the Changxing Army were a guarantee of stabilizing the local order.

Xing Shenyan waved his hand to make the four army commanders stand up and said, "Several army commanders don't have to be like this, the Changxing army wants to set up a business house in front of the camp." Several patriarchs can go there to exchange whatever they need, Changxing Army has always bought and sold fairly, and several patriarchs can rest assured to come and exchange items. ”

After stopping several patriarchs who wanted to thank them again, Xing Shenyan asked about the situation of the surrounding forces. When asked why two villages did not come to see Changxingjun, several patriarchs had unnatural expressions on their faces.

In the end, it was the Han patriarch who arched his hand and said: "The two villages that didn't come are all Han people, and one of them, Xing Laohu, used to eat sea rice. When he was too old to move, he settled down in Chicken Coop Bay.

Most of the people in the village were his former subordinates, and after envying many clansmen from his hometown, he formed the largest force in the local area.

Before the Ganlasi people came, whatever items needed by the surrounding villages had to be traded in Xingjia Village. With sea boats, Xingjia Village, which can walk between Daming and Taiyuan Island, earns a lot of money.

When the Dry Silk people came, they succumbed directly to the warships of the Dry Silk People. And moved away from the seaside, there is no threat from the sea, and sometimes even the dry silk people in Xingjia Village are ignored, and it has become a major force in Jilong Bay. ”

Xing Shenyan nodded after listening, since he was born as a pirate, it is not surprising that he is arrogant and does not take Changxing Army in his eyes.

The Han patriarch continued: "Another village has been moved to Taiyuan Island for hundreds of years, and the people of the village have intermarried with the Huwa tribe in the jungle, and they are another big force in the surrounding area. There are hundreds of warriors in the Huwa tribe, and there are thousands of clansmen, who are the backstage of Lijia Village.

Before the annihilation of the Huwa tribe, the Ganlasi people only ruled Lijia Village in name only, and did not collect taxes in substance. ”

After listening to the patriarch's words, Xing Shenyan understood a little. The reason why these two villages did not come to Jilong Bay to meet was because they thought that their strength was not weaker than that of the Changxing Army, and they felt that they had conditions to negotiate.

Since two chickens took the initiative to jump out, don't blame Changxing Jun for being ruthless. If these two villages are easily let go, the trouble of Changxingjun in Jilong Bay will definitely be gone in the future.

"It's getting late, and several patriarchs will stay in the Changxing Army to rest tonight. How about following the army to visit those two villages tomorrow? Although Xing Shenyan was in a consultative tone, the expression on his face could not be refused.

……

The night in Xingjia Village is still brightly lit, and Xing Laohu is still dressed as he was back then. A black bandana covers his gray hair, and he sits shirtless in a large house.

In addition, there were several middle-aged people sitting under Xing Laohu's hands, and several people were carrying wine jugs in their hands and pouring them into their mouths.

One of them drank the wine jug in his hand and threw it to the ground, and said loudly: "Big brother! If you want me to see it, you don't need to pay attention to the Changxing Army at all, and I don't know where to come out. If they dare to bully them, I Bai Sheng will be the first to screw off their heads and kick them as balls! ”

"Don't be careless! When the red-haired people came, we suffered a loss. The big splint boat is not something that our bird boat can resist, so it's better not to do it until the last moment! Xing Laohu said with some concern.

"Big brother! We've all moved away from the sea, and the bird boats are hiding in hidden places, what are you afraid of? The big deal is that the knife is red, and we haven't experienced it, I'm afraid of his dick! The third Xue Zeng Yi also said.

"That's it! Big brother, the brothers haven't held a knife for many years, but the kung fu on their bodies is still there, and they don't have to be afraid of any bullshit Changxing Army at all! Many people below followed suit.

Looking at the angry old brothers, Xing Laohu seemed to have regained the ferocity he had fought at sea back then. He drank all the wine from the jug and threw it to the ground.

"That's right! As long as our knives are fast enough, no one who comes can help Xingjia Village! Xing Laohu's words made his subordinates and brothers clamor, and the meal ended very late.

It wasn't until the sun rose high the next day that Xing Laohu opened his eyes. I drank so much wine last night that he still has a headache.

Xing Laohu couldn't help but shake his head, he was really old. In the past, no matter how much alcohol you drank, you could still live on the second day, how could you have such a headache as now.

He got up and walked outside the house, walking on the streets of Xingjia Village, and couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Thinking that he was born as a pirate, it took less than five years to establish a huge family business on Taiyuan Island. The entire Xingjia Village is his private property, and the people here are tenants.

Although it is not in the land of the Ming Dynasty, wherever there is a knife, it is his own home. At the thought of the newcomer, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At most, they are just peers at sea, and since they can defeat the dry silk people, they also have a certain strength. But I'm not a soft persimmon, and if you want to swallow yourself, you have to have a good tooth.

How can you deal with the red-haired man if you break a mouthful of teeth? Xing Laohu thought that the Ming people would not attack him at all, at most, they would just send people to negotiate the conditions, and it would be a big deal to give up some benefits.

While he was wandering around, the guards at the gate of the village ran over. Seeing Xing Laohu kneeling down and saying, "Be in charge!" Peers are knocking on the door! ”
