Several big boats are getting bigger and bigger in the eyes of Li Ling and the others, thinking that Zhang Yuanshan has just died, everyone muttered in their hearts, could it be that it is still Zhang Yuanshan's subordinates?

"Hachi, let's get ready for battle, if anyone dares to provoke, attack on the spot!" Li Ling commanded in a deep voice.

"My lord, we will sail the warship, let's go on the ship!" The pirates discussed privately and decided to fight for Li Ling's side.

If they really want to join each other's team training, this is a good opportunity to perform.

"Okay, Hachi, let them get on the boat, send someone to follow them, and let these people gather the warship to the sea!" Li Ling still didn't believe in these pirates, and besides, there was no artillery on the warship, how could it be possible to conduct a long-distance naval battle? It is better to attract the enemy to the shore. ‘

"Another pirate coming?". The villagers panicked and quickly evacuated.

"Li Ling, the safety of the village depends on you, I will leave some strong to help you fight!" Although the old chief was afraid, he had also experienced pirate robbery, and he could still remain calm at critical moments.

"All the villagers between the ages of twenty and thirty stayed, knowing that this is our homeland, and if the pirates attack, we will be the unlucky!"

The words of the chief were quite prestigious, and the strong men all volunteered to stay, and even the teenage children refused to leave!

"Linglong, you and the chief security officer will go back first!"

The scene must have been chaotic when the war started, and he didn't want Linglong to make any mistakes.

"Su Yun, when you go back with the villagers, you must always warn them, if the fighting does not stop for a moment, you must hide at home!" Li Ling turned around and instructed the Su brothers again.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the warships in the distance were getting closer and closer, looking at the situation, these warships seemed to be about the same size as Zhang Yuanshan had built at the beginning, they were all two-masted ships, maybe they were really his men.

"Li Gongzi, the situation doesn't seem right, these ships don't seem to be the same as the ones built by Zhang Yuanshan!" Ma Qiang's eyes were sharp, and he quickly noticed the difference between the two, these ships all had a big flag on their decks, but pirates could not have the leisure to do such a thing.

"What now?". Hachi also asked anxiously.

The enemy situation is unknown, and things become even more confusing.

"Wait".

Li Ling slowly spit out a word, waiting for work, they have a great advantage.

"It's the ship of the Japanese Kou, no, to be precise, it should be Dongying's tribute ship, but what are they doing at this time, the imperial court stipulates that they can only come to pay tribute once three days ago, and it seems that it will only be there next year!". Ma Qiang asked his own questions while explaining to Li Ling.

The boat was closer, and Ma Qiang finally saw the identity of the person who came.

"It doesn't matter what he's doing so much, as long as we're ready, if they want to fight, then fight!" The enemy is close at hand, and Hachi doesn't have time to think about the purpose of coming, he hopes that the two sides can fight, and he will kill a few more widows to avenge his father.

The ship gradually approached the shore, and everyone saw clearly that the flag hung on the deck did indeed belong to the Dongying people, and there were ghost charms painted on it that people couldn't understand!

"Is the one in front of you the general of the Ming Kingdom? Don't get me wrong, we are Dongying people who have come to **** to pay tribute, please move the warship away first and let us go ashore! ”。

A simple voice came, but it was in the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, although it was not very authentic.

Three large ships docked.

The first person to get off the boat was a middle-aged man in his thirties. Strangely, unlike the group of samurai in the back, he was wearing Akito's costume.

"Don't get me wrong, this adult, I'm from Mingguo, but I've been in Dongying for a long time!" After the middle-aged man got off the boat, he walked over to Li Ling!

"If I'm not mistaken, now shouldn't be the time for you Dongying people to pay tribute, why did you invade the sea frontier of my Ming Dynasty without permission? What about the survey? Do you have a credential with you? ”。

There were only a few dozen people who got off the boat, Li Ling asked unceremoniously.

The middle-aged man's sweat beads were left drop by drop, he didn't expect this general of the Ming Kingdom to be so difficult, but this didn't bother him, his eyes rolled, and the middle-aged man found an excuse: "His Majesty Emperor Kashiwahara has succeeded to the throne for two years, and the domestic affairs have just calmed down. As for the survey, the main purpose of coming to **** this time is not to pay tribute, so."

This guy is speechless, and he doesn't even bring a national letter, which is very suspicious.

Song Suqing is only in charge of the Hosokawa family's foreign trade, and this envoy to the Ming Dynasty is not justified, where did he come from?

"Survey" is a certificate issued by the Ming Dynasty to countries that are allowed to come to "pay tribute". In Toei, this thing was only in the hands of the shogun.

It's just that most of the officials of the Ming Dynasty were very greedy, and Song Suqing once heard that the Shibo Lifting Division asked for "bribes" from the Dongying people who came to pay tribute.

As long as it is something that money can do, it is not a thing, and every time after the tribute, the Ming Emperor always has to reward a lot of gold and silver. With these treasures, it is not easy to dismiss the officials of the Municipal Lifting Division?

How do you know that Li Ling doesn't play cards according to the routine at all, and doesn't give them face to these foreign envoys at all, and asks such an embarrassing question as soon as he opens his mouth.

In fact, they came to pay tribute this time for another purpose.

Last time, thousands of Dongying warriors came to Daming to rob, and only more than 100 people fled back.

Not only did they not give much wealth to the Thin Piercing Clan, but they lost a lot of mid-range combat power.

The Ming Kingdom actually lifted the sea ban, which surprised them.

As the mastermind of the incident, Song Suqing of course has to bear all the responsibility, the main purpose of his visit to the Ming Kingdom this time is to conduct a trial, and the high-level officials of Dongying hope to learn the specific attitude of the Ming Emperor and make appropriate adjustments to their policies.

"We are the messengers of the Franc machine, and we have come to Daming a few months ago, and I hope that the adults can take care of them more!" Several blonde and blue-eyed outsiders stepped down from another big ship and explained to Li Ling.

"My lord, there used to be such a group of envoys to meet Jin, and His Majesty the Emperor even received them personally!"

Sufi reminded from the side. She was worried that Li Ling, like those officials, would treat these envoys as demons.

How did she know that these Caucasian people were not surprised at all in Li Jieyuan's eyes.

"Arrange for them to stay!". There was a false alarm, and Li Ling had no intention of making a false deal with these people, so he just handed them over to the relevant officials for reception.

"Don't worry, Childe, I will definitely greet them well!" Hachi said with a smile.
