Chapter 91: Did You See?!
"It's native, it's Luzon...... they rushed into the courtyard of my cousin's house when the surrounding civilians fled, they tied up my cousin's whole family, looted property, and wanted to forcibly annihilate my cousin, at this time, we just arrived here, my sister rushed in anxiously" Shi Dakai closed his eyes guiltily, Liang Pengfei's anger made his guilt even heavier.
"It's all slaughtered?" When Liang Pengfei heard the words Luzon natives, he felt that his brows were a little suppressed and couldn't help beating, these Nanyang natives didn't have a fucking good thing.
"No, there are a lot of them, at least dozens of people, they have taken advantage of the chaos to loot a lot of people nearby, our number is not large, and my sister is injured, so I don't dare to catch up. After we killed a few of them, they were evacuated from the backyard. Shi Dakai tightly grasped the scabbard at his waist and gritted his teeth fiercely.
"Young master, there are a lot of people around who have died, all of them are ......" Bai Shusheng hurriedly walked in from outside, his face heavy. There was a family of seven that all died, and I said that those dog mongrels did not spare even one-year-old dolls. ”
The cigar cigarette that Liang Pengfei had just taken out was pinched in his hand, and he didn't light it for a long time, and the sturdy cigar cigarette was rubbed and deformed by his fingers. "Let the brothers go around and see how many people have died, and I will do my best to treat those who can be saved."
A strong sense of guilt lingered in Liang Pengfei's heart, this war was triggered by him, and he originally wanted to bring new hope to the Chinese in Nanyang, but what was the result? But it brought death, and those damned natives actually took advantage of this time to run and loot these Chinese.
Seeing Liang Pengfei's slightly hunched back, Shi Dakai said with a bitter face: "You can't be blamed for this, things like this happen often." ”
"It's okay, I'm here, I'm going to make sure this doesn't happen again." Liang Pengfei turned his head and smiled at Shi Da, the bright sunlight reflected on his young face, revealing a vitality and vigor that could infect other people, and his tone must have been like a heavy fall on the yellow mud ground, leaving a huge depression.
--------------------
"Gentlemen, I would like to know why these natives have in their hands the guns of your Spanish army, albeit old-fashioned, and why I hear the cries of my countrymen, and why the natives seem to be indifferent to and even condone the aborigines in continuing this act."
Liang Pengfei looked at these Spaniards, with a sunny smile, as gentle as a friend's eyes, slowly scanning these Spaniards. In the sky, thick dark clouds are pouring towards the beautiful city of Manila, full of sunshine and beautiful scenery, and the wind on the eve of a storm is blowing the eardrums of everyone.
"Mr. Liang, these are all problems left over from the previous governor, I don't know, as for what happened today, I apologize very much, we will arrest the murderer as soon as possible, and give Mr. Liang's compatriots an explanation." Marcelo was worthy of being the material of the governor, and when he said this, he seemed to be so righteous and righteous, and he passed the blame away.
"Governor Marcello, you've been in this position for some years, haven't you? During this time, at least 150 Chinese have died because of conflicts with the natives, but those who committed murder were not punished by the mission, and at most they were released after a period of imprisonment, I don't know if what I said was wrong. Liang Pengfei said as he snorted his cigar, and the choking smoke spat on Marcelo's face, and through the smoke, he could also see that Marcelo's face was rapidly condensing beads of sweat.
"Don't tell me you don't know about it, don't let me down." Liang Pengfei's white teeth flashing with cold light in the gap between his mouth were so sharp, which reminded Governor Marcello of the sharp guillotine hanging from the guillotine in the municipal square of Madrid, the capital of Spain.
Governor Marcelo did not even dare to wipe the sweat from his face, and carefully weighed his words: "I do know something, but, of course, I mean that I am only following the practice of the past to deal with such incidents, because we Spain need the colonies to remain stable, so it is our duty to try to make all the peoples live in peace." ”
"Do you want to tell me that the natives kill my countrymen, and you can only stand by and watch?" Liang Pengfei took the cigar in his hand, and the burning hot cigarette butt shook in front of Governor Marcello's eyes, as if it would be in close contact with his face at any moment.
"Of course not, Mr. Liang, I can assure you that we will never spare any murderer." Governor Marcello quickly straightened his back and kept his face away from the damn cigarette butt.
Liang Pengfei frowned, he was thinking about a problem, that is, how to protect these Chinese.
This is definitely not a problem that can be fundamentally solved by slaughtering a few indigenous murderers, and Liang Pengfei does not believe the of Governor Marcello, these Spaniards are also egoists, they only know how to harvest wealth in the colonies, as for the people's livelihood, they wish that the deeper the contradictions between the indigenous and the Chinese, the better, so that they can easily profit from it.
--------------------
The wind was still howling, Liang Pengfei's clothes were violent, and there were more and more people around, in addition to Liang Pengfei and the soldiers of the Shi family, many Chinese in Manila also came around, all silent, looking at Liang Pengfei with blank eyes.
Seeing those pairs of expectant eyes, recalling the suffering suffered by these overseas Chinese, Liang Pengfei, who had made up his mind, threw the cigar butt in front of Marcelo and faced Marcelo. "I need to add one more to the conditions I just came in."
Marcelo and those Spanish soldiers all raised their heads, not understanding what conditions Liang Pengfei needed to add?
"I ask you, dear Mr. Viceroy Marcello, to set aside an area on the island of Luzon as compensation for the damage caused to me by your combined Spanish and pirate fleet." Liang Pengfei patted Marcello on the shoulder, and the expression on his face was warm and affectionate, like a miser counting the gold coins on the table.
"This, it seems that there has never been a precedent, Mr. Liang, I'm sorry, I'm just a governor." Marcelo felt that the large hand that landed on his shoulder was like the claw of a lion, ready to slash his throat at any moment.
Hearing Marcelo's answer, Liang Pengfei laughed, and then, he bowed his head and whispered in the ear of Governor Marcelo, who was half a head shorter: "Dear Your Excellency, please don't forget, Lao Tzu's identity is not a soldier of a certain country, Lao Tzu is a pirate, don't force me to let your king change the governor in advance." ”
"I agree, as the governor of the Kingdom of Spain, I agree to your conditions, however, the location ......" Governor Marcello immediately showed his sincerity and resolutely supported Liang Pengfei's request to increase the conditions, and changed his face so quickly that everyone present was caught off guard.
However, this point made Liang Pengfei quite appreciative. "Very good, I will choose the location, of course it will not be Manila, you can rest assured of this, I will not make it difficult for you, but! There are a few things you have to keep in mind, but all my compatriots who live in my territory have the right to have weapons, they have the right to have their own army, and they have the right to destroy all enemies who dare to pose a threat to them......" Liang Pengfei had the right to make Marcelo and his people completely stunned, and the crowd was also at this moment, so quiet that the scene turned into a dead and silent no man's land.
Shi Dakai shook his head frequently, and he was frustrated to find that he could never guess what idea the young master Liang in front of him would come up with in the next moment to solve the seemingly unsolvable problem.
Territory? In addition to their own lair, where do pirates still have the spirit and spare strength to run any territory, but Liang Pengfei's hand really made Shi Dakai crazy with jealousy, and admired him so much, just looking at the eyes of the compatriots around him who were dressed in rags, with a vegetable, and numb expression, the brilliance suddenly appeared in their eyes, it was a kind of hope, not only the hope of survival, but also the hope of a better life in the future, and a kind of excitement like the child finally found his relatives.
These people will be the people in Liang Pengfei's territory, and at the same time, they will also become Liang Pengfei's reserve manpower and strength, as long as they are trained to adapt, they will only be loyal to Liang Pengfei, the pirate leader who brought them a new life.
"Lord Liang, Lord Qingtian......" A white-haired old man, old tears flowed on his face that was portrayed by suffering with countless furrows, he was illiterate, but he still remembered the Chinese used by his ancestors for generations, this Qingtian Lord used Liang Pengfei on the pirate It was very incongruous, but this did not prevent them from expressing their inner excitement and gratitude in their own way.
It's been too long, since the end of the Ming Dynasty, the blood and tears of the Chinese people can dye the entire Nanyang red, and Liang Pengfei's eyes are also moist, and he helped the old man up. He looked at all of them kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to him and crying like a group of children's compatriots, and for a long time, Liang Pengfei's throat made a difficult sound: "Have you seen the fleet at the dock?" ”
Everyone raised their heads and looked at Liang Pengfei, who was standing in place and shouting loudly.
"Do you see these compatriots with weapons in their hands? Answer me! Liang Pengfei's voice became louder and louder, accompanied by the wind of the call sign, and it spread farther and farther. His eyes were as bright as a beacon that pierced through the darkness, and his voice was like a thunderclap that pierced through the heavens.
