Chapter 126: Majiabao
When the sea wolf fleet appeared on the river outside Majiabao, the people of Majiabao were immediately frightened, and the villagers who watched the house quickly sounded the gong of the alarm, and the villagers who were active outside the village fled into the village one by one like the first time they saw the sea wolf fleet in Caojia Village, and closed the gate of the village.
Yu Xiaotian didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered to land on the shore, and the seven boats approached the shore, dropped anchor and settled down and transferred to the sampan, rowed the sampan and began to land, and controlled the small boats parked on the shore and a small two-masted boat.
Soon, the landed sea wolf tribes surrounded the small Majiabao.
The patriarch of Majiabao is named Ma Ruyi, and when he saw the banner of the sea wolf, he realized that he was about to be in trouble, and he was so frightened that he hid in the village and didn't know what to do.
At first, he wanted to lead the villagers to resist stubbornly, but when he saw batches of loaded guns and neat sea wolf troops landing on the shore and beginning to surround their Majiabao, his courage was immediately swept into the garbage heap.
It's not that he hasn't seen a little bit of the world, but he has been a pirate for a while, and after seeing the sea wolf tribes, he was really frightened, because even if he was an official and military sailor, he had never seen such a neat appearance.
This group of people hanging the golden wolf flag did not behave like ordinary pirates, but like a well-trained army, but their clothing was very different from that of the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers, and they did not wear this kind of small hat, and some of the personnel looked to be wearing navy blue leather armor, and the leggings on their legs were very different from the Ming army's clothing.
So he really couldn't see where these people came from, but vaguely, from the golden wolf flags fluttering on those boats, he still roughly guessed that this group of people should be the sea wolves behind Caojia Village.
When he saw more than 200 people landing and surrounding their Majiabao, Ma Ruyi felt that he was about to be scared to pee his pants, if it was a group of pirates who were in a mess, they would dare to fight with them, relying on their stockade, it was still very possible to block the attack of these pirates.
But in the face of these well-groomed sea wolves, he really couldn't afford to resist at all, even if there were dozens of young people in their village at the moment, but there were a lot of firecrackers in their hands, and even a few cannons (tiger squat cannons) were carried down, just with the few tattered firecrackers they had in hand, a small bronze cannon, plus a few bows and messy knives and guns, they wanted to block these enemies, and he didn't dare to grow eight more guts for Ma Ruyi.
"Ma Ruyi inside listened, we are Fuzhou sea wolves, we came here today, I have something to discuss with you, give you a cup of tea to come out to see our big boss, if you dare not listen, we will go in ourselves and ask you to come out!" There was a leader of the sea wolf, holding the handle of the single knife at his waist, and strode to the front of the gate of Majiabao, shouting at the top with a disdainful face.
Get! It's really a sea wolf! This time Ma Ruyi finally confirmed the identity of the other party, and he couldn't wait to slap himself a few times, all of which were harmed by money, he hated himself for being full, but he wanted to go to Caojia Village to find trouble with others, which is good, the backstage of the people came out, and there were so many people who came, making it clear that this was to ask the teacher to ask for guilt.
"This good man! Dare to ask the little one what is offended, actually labor you are so excited to move the crowd to come to ask the guilt, if the villain is offended, I hope you will forgive me, we are here in the poor countryside, there is really nothing good, and I hope you look at the face of our life, please let the little ones go once!
The small one can give you two hundred taels of silver, and I hope you can raise your noble hands......" Ma Ruyi trembled and lay on the wall, pleading with the people of the sea wolf who shouted below.
"Shut up! Lao Tzu is not rare for your two hundred taels of silver, acquaintances hurry up to Lao Tzu to get out, follow Lao Tzu to see our big boss, and then dare to ramble Lao Tzu to level your village, kill you chickens and dogs!
As long as you do what our boss says, I guarantee that there is no in your whole village! Hurry up and come out, Hugh is going to be wordy! Before Ma Ruyi finished speaking, the little leader of the sea wolf who came to shout directly blocked his words.
Ma Ruyi's heart is so bitter! I don't dare to go out of the city, but the people have already said that they will sweep their Majiabao without going out, and he believes that the other party definitely has this strength, and he will definitely not be polite to them.
Thinking of this, both horizontal and vertical are dead, and it is useless to be afraid, Ma Ruyi then turned his heart horizontally, explained a few words to the people in the village, gritted his teeth and ordered the door to be opened, and he asked people to prepare some gifts for him, which contained two hundred taels of silver, fifty deer skins, two leopard skins, ten wild boar skins, and two jars of self-brewed rice wine and some bacon.
He asked more than a dozen descendants to help him carry these things, went out of the gate of the village, and came to the sea wolf tribe standing outside the gate of the village with trepidation, and said with a smile: "Hero, this is a little bit of the little one's heart, and I hope ...... it."
"Nonsense! I don't call the shots in this matter, you go and see our boss yourself! Let's go! What are you afraid of? Can you eat it? ”
After a while, Ma Ruyi was brought to Yu Xiaotian, who was sitting under a makeshift oilcloth tent at this time, looking down at a topographic map of the surrounding areas drawn by his subordinates, and discussing something with Fang An on the side.
"Qi Qi is the big boss, Ma Ruyi has brought it!" Zhao Si, who was sent to call the door, shouted loudly outside the tent.
Yu Xiaotian raised his head and glanced at it, and replied, "Let him wait for a while, I'm busy!" ”
Ma Ruyi's legs and stomach turned tendons, and he said in his heart, you are in a hurry to recruit me, but you don't see me at this time, this spectrum is really big enough!
But he didn't even dare to put a fart, people didn't think he was a human being, he could only think of himself as a dog, and honestly stood in the distance and waited for Yu Xiaotian to summon him.
After a long while, after Yu Xiaotian and Fang An had discussed some things, they removed the map and said to Zhao Si: "Bring him over!" ”
"Ma Ruyi, let's not go around the bend, I have inquired about your details clearly, you are from Taizhou, not from a good background, you used to be a pirate in the early years, but later gathered your subordinates and neighbors to settle here.
Including the fact that you used to bully people here, monopolize trade routes, hoard goods, maliciously raise prices, and buy the local products of those immigrants around you at a lower price, I know all about it, and even you forced four villages to give you beautiful women and be your concubines, I also know all these things.
But I can not blame the past, or I can end it with a brush!
If you want to live here in peace, take your people here, leave here fifteen miles north, and find a place to stay again.
If you don't want to leave, it doesn't matter, I happen to need people to help work here, your Majiabao is in a good terrain, I will build a city here in the future, it is indispensable to use manpower, as long as you do it well, I will not treat you badly!
I have accepted these gifts and things that you have honored me today, and you have prepared another 300 catties of bacon and 5,000 catties of grain for me, and from now on, you will provide me with 100 catties of vegetables and fruits every day, as for the remaining things in your village, I am not rare, or your things, my subordinates can do nothing to your people here!
All in all, this will be my sea wolf's territory in the future, and in the future, you people will obey the management of my surname Yu, I guarantee your safety, and you will pay my taxes! I'm here to build an effective administration, everybody's fair, good for you and good for me! Yu Xiaotian opened his mouth to Ma Ruyi, who was kneeling in front of him, and said, this is not a discussion, and there is no room for negotiation, it is directly an order.
After Ma Ruyi listened, he immediately sat down on the ground, originally he thought that this sea wolf was just because he went to Caojia Village a few days ago to make trouble, and came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, but he didn't expect that it was not that incident at all, people had already taken a fancy to the territory in this area, and they wanted to be under the jurisdiction of the sea wolf.
And he unfortunately happened to build a village in this place with his family, and he was taken by the people at a glance, and this place will become a stockade set up here by sea wolves in the future, and he has no room for resistance except to roll up the bed and get out.
If he didn't agree, he believed that the big man in front of him would definitely give an order immediately to sweep away his Majiabao, and any outsider, if he wanted to establish an effective order in a new place, then any strong party would mercilessly use blood as a sacrifice first, paving a road to order.
And don't look at Ma Ru's opinion, he doesn't have a lot of knowledge, but he still understands this truth, he has made a lot of benefits here in the past few years, and people have basically inquired clearly, how thick his family background is, and people have guessed a rough idea, and they don't give him room for bargaining at all.
The 300 catties of dried bacon and 5,000 catties of grain proposed by the big boss of the sea wolf surnamed Yu were actually in his hands, and there were still some surpluses, indicating that the other party left him a certain margin and did not intend to kill him completely.
There is a place fifteen miles to the north, which is more suitable for reclamation and building a village, and Ma Ruyi is also very clear, which also shows that the other party has explored all the surrounding situations before coming here, and even the new site of their village has been selected for them, and the fifteen-mile distance is also within the shortest direct control range of the sea wolf.
The more Ma Ruyi thought about it, the more scared he became, the more he thought about it, the more he didn't dare to have the slightest idea of resisting, almost everything about himself was in the other party's hands, what else could he do but do it?
So Ma Ruyi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and had to nod and said: "Yu is the big master, the others are easy to say, and the small ones are to obey your orders!" But we've been living here for years, and all of a sudden, we're going to move north, I'm afraid it's going to kill us! ”
Yu Xiaotian glared at him and asked, "Why is this?" ”
