Chapter Eighty-Nine: Peace Talks

Even Li Zihong, the leader of the Ichthyosaur Gang, was also alarmed and came to the shore to greet him in person.

But the next scene was something they never imagined.

A group of people jumped out of the sentry boat and waded ashore.

In addition to the brothers of the Ichthyosaurus Gang, there was also a group of merchants among the people who waded ashore.

This came as a surprise to the pirates who watched from the shore.

In the past, they plundered, but only ships and no people.

Whoever is on board is killed.

First, the sea is difficult and dangerous, and ships may encounter strong winds and waves at any time, and shipwrecks occur from time to time.

One more person is also a waste of rations if you open more mouths and keep them.

Rather than keep these people on the ship, it is better to kill a hundred.

Second, many of the ships they plundered had paid protection money.

If you leave these living holes behind, it will not be good for you if you let them escape back.

As a result, pirates generally don't leave them alive to bring the ship's people back to their lair.

When the men waded ashore, a large group of pirates surrounded them.

Li Zihong saw the pirate leader at a glance.

"Monk Hai, what the hell are you doing?" Li Zihong looked at the group of businessmen with an unkind face.

"Back to the big boss, these people were sent by the Ming people to negotiate peace with us." The pirate leader who was shouted by Li Zihong hurriedly said.

"The Ming people sent me for peace talks." Li Zihong frowned and muttered.

"Zhao Gan, a Chinese merchant in Xiaweigan, is now entrusted by the Ming army to come to Shuangdao to ask for peace with the big boss." Seeing this, a Chinese businessman hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand.

When the pirates on the side heard this, they immediately exploded their nests.

"Mingren, you are actually Mingren."

"Okay, last time I broke dozens of brothers in Vigan, and today I can finally take revenge."

The pirates immediately surrounded them, one by one, carrying steel knives with angry eyes and teeth and claws. Frightened, the faces of this group of Chinese businessmen were as earth-colored, and their legs soaked in sea water kept trembling.

"Brothers, don't be angry, these wise people are here with sincerity." Monk Hai hurriedly blocked in front of this group of Chinese businessmen.

As soon as he finished speaking, several sentinel ships washed ashore.

The pirates on board jumped out of the ship happily, and walked towards the shore with large wooden boxes in their arms.

"Brethren, we have made a fortune." Monk Hai shouted when he saw this.

Several pirates carried a wooden box to Li Zihong's side and gently opened it.

Instantly shocked everyone,

I saw a box full of silver lying heavily in a wooden box.

"The Ichthyosaurus Gang can be described as heroes on the sea, this is a gift from the Vigan Ming Army to the big boss, 10,000 Spanish silver yuan." Zhao Qian looked at the pirate with a glow in his eyes and smiled.

Li Zihong was also moved by Mingren's sudden and unexpected move.

hurriedly invited these Chinese businessmen to the village.

Late at night, the pirates drank and ate meat, and the bonfires were full of excitement.

Li Zihong in the village frequently raised his glass and drank with Chinese businessmen.

"The owner of the Zhao ship is also a person who has a close personal relationship with me, and this guy pays me the toll every year, and I keep his ship unimpeded on the Luzon Sea Route every year." After three rounds of drinking, Li Zihong said proudly to the Chinese businessmen present.

These Chinese businessmen held their wine glasses and smiled, but they couldn't stop scolding in their hearts.

"Unimpeded, the ships of our Chinese merchants were blocked at the dock by you, but the ships that ventured to the sea were all killed by you, and the people and ships were lost, do you dare to be shameless again."

Although these Chinese businessmen were full of resentment, they did not dare to attack, so they had to compliment.

"The Ichthyosaurus Gang can be described as a heroic man at sea, and my Zhao family's ships are sheltered by the Ichthyosaurus Gang every year, so that they can be unimpeded in the waters off Luzon." Zhao Gan agreed with a smile on his face.

"It's not a secret, this time I actually came to invite something."

"Oh, what's the matter?" After Li Zihong took a sip of wine, he asked.

"At the beginning, the pirates led by the Black Flag Gang made an alliance with the Ming people in Ming City to deal with the Francophiles in Luzon together, can you remember the big boss?" Zhao Qiandao.

"Well, this red-haired ghost has bullied me for a long time, forcing us to join forces to fight."

"It's a pity that this Francophone manship is a strong cannon, and my Ichthyosaurus Gang is invincible, so I have no choice but to give up." Li Zihong shook his head and sighed.

"The big boss, although the Franc machine man has a ship and a gun, the number is scarce, and we and other heroes on the South Sea Sea have a large number, and we have already besieged the Franc robot in Lasag, and the Franc machine man stationed in Manila is also unable to rush north due to the obstruction of our Ming army."

"Not long ago, General Xiao of the Navy Division wrote a letter and sent it to the Viganming army, asking the Viganming army to go north and cooperate with the Black Flag Gang and other maritime heroes to join forces to defeat Laoag." Zhao Qiandao.

"Okay." Li Zihong shouted hello.

"Then I don't know when the Viganming army will set off." Li Zihong asked.

Zhao Qian smiled bitterly for a while, and hurriedly said: "The big boss doesn't know, Lord Liu of Huben Town has been sad day and night since he received the letter, and the number of Wei Ganming's troops is not large and there is no sailor ship to cooperate, and going north to Laoag is tantamount to a drop in the bucket."

"But if we can get the cooperation of the Ichthyosaurus Gang to go north together, it will be a blessing."

"Therefore, Lord Liu of Huben Town specially set up a banquet in Weigan to invite the big boss of the Fish Dragon Gang to go." Zhao Ke said.

After Li Zihong listened, he was silent for a long time.

"It's not cowardice that my Fish Dragon Gang escaped from Laoag without permission, but I know that my strength is not good, and now it would be a blessing if I could go north with the Ming army."

"Still,"

Li Zihong paused again as soon as he finished speaking, and his tone became a little low,

"I appreciate Lord Liu's kindness, but I'm used to staying at sea, and I don't really want to go ashore, so I'll send a boat and ask Lord Liu to deign to come to the island to talk to me."

In the face of Li Zihong's tentative inquiry, Zhao Qian was not in a hurry,

"Lord Liu is busy with official business, and now he has exterminated the Weigan Chamber of Commerce, and there are too many military planes to deal with, so I am afraid it is inconvenient to come." Zhao Qian calmly coped.

"What, you killed the Wigan Chamber of Commerce." Li Zihong's expression changed, and he quickly stood up and asked.

"The rich businessman of Wigan is arrogant and domineering, has repeatedly violated the laws of our Ming army, and has colluded with the Franco, and has now been exterminated by our Ming army."

Hearing the news, the pirates present were also taken aback.

For the Chamber of Commerce, the pirates of the Fish Dragon Gang have dealt with a lot.

I also know a lot about this behemoth.

In the past, ships that encountered the Vigan Chamber of Commerce at sea often took a detour.

If it weren't for the Ming people who stirred up the world in Luzon, the Francophiles were helpless,

Nor did they dare to block the port of Vigan and plunder ships everywhere.

Now that the Ming army has actually exterminated the Chamber of Commerce, how can this not make this group of pirates frightened.

At the same time, I also understood why the Ming army was so generous, and even directly sent 10,000 taels of Spanish silver yuan.

Thinking of this, the pirates present had red eyes, and they stared at the Chinese merchants present like hungry wolves.
