Chongzhen Chat Group

When Norbu was on the run again, another important criminal wanted by the Ming Dynasty was living a good life, or in other words, he was prospering and had the potential to rise again. He was Liu Xiang.

After he landed in Mexico with his only remaining men, he knew what Xiyi would like based on his many years of experience in dealing with Xiyi. Therefore, after he arrived, he used his power to stir up troubles among the Chinese and dominate them.

Originally, the Chinese in Mexico were a vulnerable group and an oppressed group. The arrival of Liu Xiang and the others bullied them again, making them miserable, but no one could make the decision for them. Finally, I felt I couldn't bear it anymore, so I pushed a few people to go to the Governor's Mansion to beg.

So Liu Xiang was ordered to go to the Spanish Governor's Palace and was summoned by the Governor of Mexico: "Are you the leader of the Ming people?"

The Mexican governor's face was a little ugly, with a cold face.

"The villain is the head of all Ming people!" Liu Xiang said it without any shame. He responded immediately with a smile on his face. Then he presented the gift he had prepared with both hands, "This is what the villain gives to the Governor." It’s a small thought, but please accept it with your smile, Lord Governor!”

When the Governor of Mexico saw it, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He opened it and saw a box of silver ingots in the box. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and a smile appeared on his face.

When Liu Xiang saw it, he knew that all the Western Yi people were of the same species, and he felt very calm in his heart. He continued to smile grovelingly and said: "My Lord Governor, I am a villain but I am not talented. I am willing to help the Governor manage those wise people. Not only can I help the Governor. Collecting the annual tax will also give the Governor himself an additional 10% of the tax paid."

When the Governor of Mexico heard this, he immediately laughed, stood up from his seat, and walked to Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang was originally taller than the Mexican Governor, but at this time, when he saw the Mexican Governor approaching, he bent down and automatically became shorter, keeping the charming smile on his face.

When the Governor of Mexico saw it, he couldn't help but feel even more satisfied. He immediately reached out and patted Liu Xiang on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Very good, I am very satisfied with you. In this way, from now on, all Ming people in Mexico will be under your control. However, You have to remember your promise!”

There are actually quite a few Ming people in Mexico, and they are similar to Ming people in other places. Hardworking and capable are the label of Ming people. For this reason, no matter where they go, they can slowly accumulate wealth and be envied and exploited by the locals.

Now that Liu Xiang came to Mexico, he used his power to bully his compatriots and actively worked for the Western barbarians, which instantly won the favor of the Western barbarians.

"Don't worry, Governor. With the support of the Governor, I will definitely do whatever I ask those people to do, otherwise I won't be able to deal with them!" Liu Xiang nodded and bowed, but there was a hint of ferocity in what he said, "We have a saying in the Ming Dynasty. As the saying goes, my own people know my own people, and if there are villains around, I won’t be afraid of those people turning the world upside down, and they can’t even think of deceiving me. The villains will definitely eat them to death!”

When the Governor of Mexico heard this, he immediately burst out laughing. He became more and more satisfied with Liu Xiang, and promised again: "Yes, yes, in this way, I will give you the power to form a patrol team, and you can help me keep an eye on those Ming people!" "

"I obey my orders!" Liu Xiang was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly agreed.

At the gate of the Governor's Mansion, there were two groups of Ming people confronting each other. One group, although smaller in number, was staring at those opposite them fiercely. Based on their expressions, it seemed that if they weren't worried about the Spanish guards standing guard at the door, they would want to rush up and teach the people on the other side a lesson.

The people opposite were mainly older people, with only two young men. They all have worried faces. One of the old men looked a little weak and frightened on his side, so he whispered to his companions: "Don't worry, the Governor listened to our appeal and sent the thief Liu Xiang in, and he will definitely give a warning He, our days will be easier in the future.”

"Mr. Liu is right. After all, we have been here for so many years and have been paying tribute to the Spaniards for so many years." Another middle-aged man echoed in a low voice, "They are just new here and they don't look for work. The Spaniards We definitely don’t like people like them, the Governor will help us!”

Hearing the two of them talking one after another, these people's faces looked a little better. Those young men even had the courage to look at the thieves opposite and glared back.

During this confrontation, there was movement inside, and Liu Xiang was seen walking out swaggeringly accompanied by a Spaniard.

At this sight, the pirates suddenly became happy and shouted excitedly: "Brother, big brother..."

As for Mr. Liu and the others, their hearts sank, feeling a little bad.

When Liu Xiang arrived at the door, he humbly said to the Spaniard: "My lord, please stay. Your lord is busy with things. I will only take care of the rest!"

After hearing this, the Spaniard enjoyed Liu Xiang's flattery. He nodded immediately, mumbled a few words to the guard at the door, turned around and walked back without even looking at Liu Xiang's group.

Liu Xiang bowed to see him off. When he walked away, he straightened up. When he turned around, his face already had a fierce look on his face. He immediately shouted to his men: "What are you still doing here? The unscrupulous people dare to come to the Governor's Mansion to sue us, and why don't you take action?"

When Na's subordinates heard this, they were all overjoyed. This group of people are all desperadoes, doing business on the sea, and they are the best at this. They all pulled out their knives and rushed over. They immediately cornered Mr. Liu and his group, who were not armed at all. Then, right in front of the Governor's Mansion, they beat everyone to death, whether young or old. The old man finally gave up when no one was left standing.

Liu Xiang walked up to them with his hands behind his back and looked down at the Akitos lying all over the floor. He didn't care about their painful groans and shouted coldly: "The Governor said that from now on, all the Akitos in Mexico will be under my control." . If anyone refuses to obey, I will beat him until he obeys!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and said arrogantly: "Let's go!"

Ignoring what was happening on the ground, Liu Xiang led his men away.

The Spanish guards at the gate of the Governor's Palace, seeing this situation, not only did not interfere, but just stood there pointing and smiling, as if they were watching a monkey show.

Although the young man was beaten the hardest, he still had strong energy and got up first, then helped the old man up.

Looking at each other, they all had bruises on their noses and swollen faces, and many wounds on their bodies. Everyone's face was filled with despair. If you can't beat these desperadoes with pirate origins, you ask the government officials to make the decision, but it is obvious that the Spanish government officials are on the side of the pirates.

How are you going to live this day?

They supported each other and went back, giving another blow to the compatriots waiting there.

What to do, what should we do in the future?

Regardless of the reason, those who came across the ocean were already having a hard time under the rule of the Spanish. Now coupled with the oppression of these pirates, the future is really unimaginable!

"Oh, I have old bones, it seems I have to be buried here!" Mr. Liu sighed.

Everyone else knew that Mr. Liu's wish was to return to his roots after falling leaves, so he wanted to save more money and pay more money to the Spaniards, hoping to take him back to the Ming Dynasty. But now, almost everyone's money has been stolen by Liu Xiang's group of pirates.

These pirates, who are also Akito, are more ruthless than the Spaniards. They know Akito's habits and can't hide them from them. They can estimate how much wealth they have.

"Uncle Liu, instead of just sitting here and waiting to die, why don't we go back by boat ourselves!" A young man who was beaten suddenly said angrily, "Even if you die at sea on the way home, there is always a glimmer of hope!"

When the people discussing in the room heard this, they all looked at the young man. However, Mr. Liu sighed and said: "Siming, we don't know the route in the vast sea, how can we get back? Besides, we don't have sailing ships like Spain. If we go out to sea alone, we will never die. Give birth!"

The others all nodded after hearing this. Siming, surnamed Wei, was about to speak after hearing this. Another older man followed suit and said, "Siming, you were born here. I'm afraid you don't know. In fact, the life there in the Ming Dynasty is not very good. The government taxes It’s very heavy and there’s a lot of labor. If it wasn’t for the hard life, I wouldn’t have been deceived by saying life here is good!”

"Yes, life in China is not for human beings. I just escaped from labor and lived on a nearby island. However, I was caught by the Spaniards and came here." Another older man also said,

When Wei Siming heard this, he ignored it: "My parents gave me this name because they wanted me to go back to the Ming Dynasty one day. No matter what, at least we are all black-haired and yellow-skinned over there, no need to meet The Spaniards will nod and bow. Here, there is no hope at all. Are we treated as human beings by them here?"

This is also true. After hearing this, everyone in the room couldn't help but fell silent.

Wei Siming touched the bag on his forehead, gritted his teeth, and decided: "No matter what, even if I die, I would rather die on the sea returning to my country. I never want to be oppressed by Xi Yi and those pirates!"

After hearing this, Mr. Liu sighed and said: "Actually, even if we can return to the country after a narrow escape, the government might arrest us as hermits."

At this point, he suddenly changed the topic and said: "But I am already old, and the fallen leaves have returned to their roots. No matter what happens when I go back, no matter whether I can go back or not, it's settled, Siming, let's go together!"

Seeing that both of them were very determined, the others were also a little moved. Eventually, three or four older people decided to go together. Most of the others responded with silence.

After all, in their opinion, the possibility of going back is extremely low. The biggest possibility is to die in the ocean on the way home and be buried at the bottom of the sea. Not many people have the courage to take such a risk.

Seeing this, Mr. Liu said to the people in the room: "That's it. You go back and ask quietly. If anyone is willing to go back together, then we can do it together!"

Just like that, everyone in the room dispersed with despair about the future.

What Wei Siming didn't expect was that the next day, when he was quietly packing his things, a companion suddenly broke into his home in a hurry and said to him in a panic: "Brother Siming, run quickly, someone is informing him." He said you were going to run away, but Liu Xiang and his gang of pirates came to arrest you, saying they would beat you to death in public, just to kill chickens and scare monkeys!"

When Wei Siming heard this, he immediately panicked. He couldn't defeat those people at all, and it was difficult for him to fight for them. So he stopped packing his things and ran away quickly.

Liu Lao and others also received the news from their compatriots, joined Wei Siming, and immediately escaped into the mountains and forests.

A few days later, they finally escaped to the seaside, exhausted. Here, there is a relatively large fishing boat, which is why they have the idea of ​​​​going back by themselves. If there is no boat, there is no need to think about it.

But before they could prepare anything, Liu Xiang's men came after them, forcing them to sail out to sea immediately.

In the vast sea, they were exhausted, with despair on their faces. It was originally a return journey with a narrow escape from death. If we were more prepared, we might have a little more hope. But now that he was escaping in such a hurry, he didn't even have enough fresh water for a few days, and he would definitely die on the sea.

After taking a breath, Mr. Liu made a decision: "Let's go north first, find a deserted place to land, and prepare supplies again."

"I've also seen the map. It seems that the north side is a little narrower. Maybe it will be easier to return to Ming Dynasty!" Another person also echoed.

At this time, there is actually a incomplete world map. Although it is not accurate, it can at least give an idea.

The others had no objection and went north.

After a few days, they felt that they should break away from the territory controlled by the Spanish, which meant that Liu Xiang and his group of pirates would not be able to pursue them, so they moved closer to the coast.

On the fishing boat, Mr. Liu's condition was not very good. As I got older, my injuries from being beaten by Liu Xiang and others hadn't healed yet, so I ran around day and night in a hurry. My body couldn't bear it and I got sick.

In fact, the health of other people is not much better, almost like a boatload of injured and sick people. Since Wei Siming was young, nothing serious happened.

At this time, everyone on the boat was lifeless and lifeless, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing. In their hearts, each of them knew that it was impossible to cross the ocean and return to their hometown.

Even Wei Siming was depressed and just controlled the boat to move towards the coast.

In his daze, Wei Siming suddenly realized something was wrong. He quickly cheered up and took a look. He was suddenly frightened and saw a sailboat with a Spanish flag already very close to them. He could even see several Westerners standing on the bow of the boat, watching them.

Suddenly, everyone panicked and wanted to escape. However, it is a big sailing ship and it cannot escape at all. Now, they are really desperate!
