Chapter 100: Independence comes at a price

After Yan Zheng saw these fellow clansmen, he strengthened his determination to build the island under his feet.

Daming is not his way back, he wants to build a new world.

He wants to create a huge external contradiction for Daming, and only in this way can he force Daming to change himself.

And from the perspective of contradiction theory, when he has this idea, he is already a pair of contradictions with Daming. It's just that judging by the balance of forces, he is still too weak now.

Therefore, he must continue to absorb factors that are beneficial to himself from Da Ming and develop himself.

He went to inspect the ship left behind by the Japanese and found that it was a dhow, about fifteen meters long, and it looked like it might have a displacement of less than fifty tons.

It seems that these Japanese robbers are also bitter haha, if there is no Daming maritime merchants behind the scenes, I am afraid that the Jiajing Japanese rebellion will not happen.

"Limu, you will take twenty soldiers later, supervise these people, and let them drive this boat back to the Yan'an River!"

Yan Zheng gave an order, and asked people to carry some loot to this boat.

A lot of silk and cotton cloth were seized, as well as some raw silk, and the looms were also carried onto the ship.

There were also some iron farming tools and iron pots, plus a pile of copper coins and about two thousand taels of silver.

If you look at it purely from the seizure, this time it is indeed a big profit.

Even Lu Wan and the others felt that it was worth sacrificing so many clansmen if they could seize so many good things.

But Yan Zheng felt very distressed, because these soldiers were veterans who had been trained for a long time and had fought several battles.

It's a shame that this kind of soldier is lost! The first thing he had to do after he went back was to increase the armor rate of the iron armor.

Under Limu's half-hijacking, the boat slowly sailed out of the bay, and Yan Zheng was actually a little worried that these people would take the opportunity to escape.

Therefore, he deliberately promised in advance that as long as these people drove the ship to the destination this time, then each of them would be able to get ten taels of silver.

In order to dispel the concerns of these people, they were also paid in advance with a piece of silver for each of them.

As a result, these people's enthusiasm instantly increased, and some people even proposed that as long as the advance money was given to them, it was okay.

This made Yan Zheng a little surprised, and directly gave each of them a piece of silver, and told them that as long as they worked under him, there would be a big drop of silver!

In his opinion, silver is no more valuable than the talent who knows how to sail, after all, this is the period of creation.

Sure enough, a thousand words can't compare to the direct flow of silver into the pocket, and these people's favorability towards Yan Zheng immediately raised a notch.

After the boat sailed out in the direction of the Yan'an River, Yan Zhengcai smiled and ordered a triumphant retreat and asked people to bring the ashes of the fallen soldiers.

In order to prevent these women from falling behind, Yan Zheng also deliberately made ten sliding rods and let these women be carried in turns.

He said nothing about the abuse of these women, but only inquired about their families.

Tell them that if there are still people in the family and they still want to go back, you can send them back.

If they don't want to go back, they can continue to weave here to support themselves.

As a result, none of these women directly refused, nor did they directly agree.

Yan Zheng didn't say much, but comforted them, told them that there were no three or four virtues in this place, and along the way, he kept telling them some small stories to get closer to them.

After coming to the Miaoli Department again, Yan Zheng asked Lu Wan to send twenty pieces of bamboo armor, which was considered to have fulfilled his promise.

He kindly reminded the leaders of the Miaoli tribe, telling them that he was worried that the would-be revenge.

After listening to Abu's story, the Miaoli leader immediately frowned.

"You killed a lot of them?" The Miaoli leader asked.

"That's right! Kill all the pirates they are stationed there! Yan Zheng replied confidently.

"No, you only see two boats, and as far as I know, they are much more than two! They used to have a dozen boats parked over there! The Miaoli leader said worriedly.

Yan Zheng grinned and said, "Then I'm lucky this time, just when they are weak, I killed them!" ”

The Miaoli leader sighed and said, "But our tribe is going to hide in the deep forest again!" ”

"Actually, you can go to the deep forest first, or go to other places, and build a spare territory, so that as long as the Japanese invaders come, you can run to the alternate territory!" Yan Zheng said with a smile.

The Miaoli leader was a little unhappy, looked at Yan Zheng and said, "Let's talk about it then!" ”

"It's going to be too late! This time, we are also forced to do so, but this matter is caused by our Mona Ministry, and we will definitely give you help as much as we can! Yan Zheng said with a smile.

The Miaoli leader did not refute or agree, he really regretted being the leading party!

This wave led the way, which can be regarded as roasting their Miaoli part on the fire stand.

If they run into the jungle for fear of reprisals, they will definitely encounter headhunters again.

"Build a new territory to spare! Clever rabbits know that they must dig three holes! Yan Zheng smiled and turned to leave.

Only the Miaoli leader, whose face was a little ugly, was left behind, and he watched these people leave with hatred in his eyes.

Yan Zheng could only say that he would be very sad if the Miaoli Department perished because of him, but that's all.

He had already given them a suggestion, and that suggestion was to let them live under the protection of Monabe.

If the Miaoli leader was smart enough, he would have known that this spare new territory should be built there.

…………

"Chief, why doesn't the Miaoli leader plan to send an envoy back with us!" After walking for about a mile, An San couldn't help but ask.

Yan Zheng glanced at him with a smile and said, "Because they want to be independent, they don't want to accept the protection of the Mona Ministry, which means that they want to decide their own affairs and not be influenced by other tribes!" ”

"Independent? Decide the affairs of your own tribe? Ansan was a little puzzled.

Yan Zheng continued: "It's like our Mo Nabu, our fate, our future, our internal and external rules, in fact, it is not my own decision, but we decide independently!" You trust me and are willing to abide by the policies and rules I have set, so I decide your fate on behalf of the tribe! ”

"But other tribes are different, that is, like those tribes around us, they have to accept the rules we have set, they can't do without the goods of Monabu, and they dare not disobey the will of Monabu.

Their fate is actually doomed, and when they consider external issues, they will definitely choose to consider Monabu's statement first. So they have lost their power to be independent, and they will definitely be assimilated by Mona in the future! ”

An San nodded and said, "That's better to be independent!" It would be humiliating not to be able to decide the fate of your tribe for yourself! ”

Yan Zheng smiled and said: "Independence requires strength, and it also needs to have the spirit of resistance, when kneeling can be full, many people will choose to kneel, at this time you want to stand, you have to have the strength to make others look up, and at the same time you have to endure hunger, have enough backbone to be independent." ”

"So Ansan, if someone wants us to be unable to be independent in the future, you must fight him to the end and never die!"

After finishing speaking, Yan Zhengbei looked at it, in the face of a possible conflict with Daming, should he treat him, behead him, or be a dog?
