Chapter 1339： Looking at the world outside (17)

   After the great battle of destroying the five pirate ships, Zhou Zhou took people to dig out the nests of the nearby pirates one after another, and found countless merchants' goods.

Because the goods were large and valuable, the soldiers kept some secrets when they rushed in. Zhou Zhou felt that this was not good for their long-term cooperation with the merchants, but he also wanted to destroy the pirates, so he couldn’t keep an eye on it, so he simply handed over the matter to him. To the little lion Qi Wenzhen.

There are three reasons. First, Qi Wenzheng won't covet the money, so he won't hide it privately; secondly, Qi Wenzheng has a high status and can overwhelm the soldiers; thirdly, this kid is careful and wants to slip away from under his nose. Money is hard.

In summary, the little lion was left behind.

The    brothers thought they could kill the enemy side by side on the battlefield, but they were separated after participating in four battles together.

Hutou said with tears in his eyes that he would definitely kill the little lion's share.

The little lion twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "As long as you come back alive, it's fine."

Tiger head turned and left.

The little lion let out a worried sigh, and asked the two guards to follow Hutou.

The two guards hesitated, and the little lion smiled and said, "I'm only responsible for counting the stolen goods, it's not dangerous, and the tiger's head is reckless. You follow him and advise him not to let him take risks. If he is stubborn, he will be knocked out. If something goes wrong, I will bear it."

Little lion thought of the behavior of the dark guards in the past, and threatened Wei Wei: "Don't let us be like before."

The dark guards looked at each other, bowed their heads, turned to catch up with Hutou.

The little lion took his team to count the stolen goods on the island, and found that in addition to the goods of their Daqi merchants, there were many gold and silver jewelry. The ships were taken to patrolling and fighting, and it was impossible to expect merchants to come and take things away immediately.

Because the remuneration of the soldiers is calculated according to the value of the goods, when will the value of so many goods be counted?

You must know that he has to follow the pioneer camp to count the loot of other pirate dens, but he can't consume it in one place.

Therefore, the little lion rubbed his chin, and immediately said that they would occupy a place nearby, and transport the spoils to the top to take care of them, and then calculate the value with the merchants when he took out his hands.

The little lion did what he said. Combining various factors such as climate, geography and distance, he finally chose the southeast of Luzon, where there is a natural port. The most important thing is that the Westerners occupy that port.

And there were only a few dozen people on the other side, so the little lion simply took people and captured those dozens of people as pirates. Anyway, they were similar to pirates. After occupying this port, they began to pay tribute to the nearby villages.

The little lion had just rushed up and captured these dozens of foreigners, when the chief of the nearby village came to visit him and thank him for saving them from the fire and water.

The little lion was a little embarrassed, and said that he wanted to temporarily borrow this port and the surrounding area to set up camp. Afraid that they would think too much, the little lion said sincerely: "We will leave when our general returns in triumph."

The village chief heard that the Qi people did not intend to occupy their land, he was slightly relieved, and his face was full of folds, indicating that these lands and ports were used casually.

After returning to the village, the big village chief strictly ordered everyone to gather with the Qi people. Although the Qi people were not as fierce as those foreigners, they took out their banners to occupy the land as soon as they came up, and they would not threaten them with muskets to recognize each other as masters, but they were not afraid of 10,000. Just in case, they'd better stay away.

With this thought in mind, everyone watched the soldiers of Daqi from a distance.

It was found that after they went ashore, they occupied the Westerners' houses-the Westerners forced them to repair it, they cut down the trees, they transported the stones, they built the houses, and even the fences in front of them were built by them. for Zha...

But looking at those Qi soldiers with swords on their waists, no one dared to speak.

Fortunately, Qi Bing did not ask them to help them build houses, but cut down trees and built some barracks next to them.

And every morning, afternoon and night, the port is under martial law, and everyone is forbidden to appear there. The villagers are afraid that Qi soldiers will kill people, so they really dare not approach.

Until a few days later, Qi soldiers ran out of food, and a Qi soldier ran into the village to find the big village chief.

The chief of the village went away with a face full of apprehension, and then returned to the village with a few horses full of fantasy. That night, a few bags of coarse grain were delivered to the Qi army barracks.

Qi Bing even exchanged cloth for food with them!

Many people in the village save their rations and take them to the barracks to exchange for cloth, and then take the cloth to the big towns outside the four mountains to exchange for grain and salt, and they can still make a lot of money!

Qi people are better than foreigners!

This is the common understanding of the villagers of several nearby villages and the big village chiefs.

The little lions are just doing this with a sense of guilt. After all, they are not occupying an unnamed island, but someone else's land in Luzon. The villagers can let them station here. They trade food.

Little lion thinks that country people are hospitable and sincere.

So things went in a strange direction.

Qi Bing and the natives live in harmony.

After two months, the little lion kept bringing back the spoils from the outside, placing the goods with the Daqi company logo in the two large houses separately, and the others were piled on the other side in a chaotic manner, and then let the merchants drive the merchant ships to come. Accept it here.

Knowing that Qi Bing had recovered most of their goods, the merchants happily set off for Luzon.

When a few big businessmen approached this port, they couldn't help but think, secretly said: This place happens to be in Nanyang, and it is a natural port. plan.

The little lion did not know what they were thinking, and received everyone politely and thoughtfully.

These are all employers of the army, so of course you have to have a good attitude.

As soon as the merchants saw the little lion's face that resembled Prince Rong's face, and then looked at his age, everyone immediately guessed his identity, and immediately respected him very respectfully. When they went to the warehouse to claim their goods, no one was there. Dare to play slippery.

Little Lion felt that this work was really easy, except that it was a little more difficult to mobilize and arrange the ships, everything else went smoothly.

Contrary to the calm on Luzon Island is the situation in the Indian Ocean, which can be said to be choppy and change day by day.

Because of the testimony of France, Italy and Portugal, England was suspected of ulterior motives by Western countries and colluded with Daqi to harm them.

England said that it was France's false accusation, because they also suffered heavy losses, and because the Indian Ocean was mainly his sphere of influence, his losses were the greatest.

But obviously other countries are not in the mood to listen to their arguments, and several meetings ended up unhappy.

And when they were quarreling, Zhou Zhou led his troops to occupy one island after another and cleaned up the pirates on it. If it was a native, then he would beat the people up, loot some of their finances, and distribute the rest to the pirates to force them. When returning home, if they encounter Western pirates, they will capture them if they can, and kill them if they cannot.

The prisoners they sent to Daqi recently needed to be carried in a boat, and then escorted by a warship.

While other Western countries were constantly in conflict, they gradually began to abandon their differences and cooperated to resist Qi Bing.

But their people are too few, and Daqi is too close to here, it only takes five days to reach it, so after three months, the number of Daqi troops in the Indian Ocean has reached 80,000, which is twice the total number of foreigners in the surrounding countries. more.
