Chapter 831 Prepare to meet the enemy

Looking at the soldiers of Luzon who showed their swords and guns, Manager Li angrily shouted: "What are you going to do? Since taxes are so expensive, can't we stop without stopping?"

"It's really not possible!"

Perot's dark face showed a arrogant look.

"Do you think this place is? You can go there if you want to come? Let me tell you the truth. If you don't hand over three thousand taels of silver today, no one of you will want to leave! The person who comes will arrest me these lawless Ming people and kill everyone who dares to resist!"

Looking at the soldiers of Luzon who were forcing each other, Manager Li and his friends were so angry that their faces were blue. One of the guys gritted their teeth and said, "Boss, let's fight with them."

Manager Li took a deep breath, quickly measured the pros and cons in his heart and shook his head slowly: "No, they have a lot of people! If this happens, we all have to stay here, even the people and the boat. If this is the case, the boat will be destroyed. Even if we die, we can't explain to the boss! You all put the guy down for me!"

“Hey…”

"Damn, what's this?"

Manager Li took a deep breath and said to Perot and Luzon soldiers who were approaching step by step: "Okay, let's give this money!"

After hearing what Manager Li said, the guy on the boat put down the guy in his hand.

"That's right. Isn't there a saying in the Ming Dynasty that those who know the current affairs are heroes."

Seeing that the guy on the boat gave up resistance, Perot's face showed a smug smile and said something he heard from nowhere.

In fact, Perot is not a completely brainless person. He has already calculated it. Three thousand taels of silver should be the limit that this Ming merchant can accept. If there were more, the merchant would have tried his best.

Although he could also take down the boat's servants with hundreds of soldiers in his hands, he also knew that no one who could wander on the sea these days was a good person. After all, there were dozens of strong sailors. If there was a fight between the two sides, his subordinates would definitely suffer casualties. It would be bad at that time. It would be better to force the other party to hand over the money obediently with the force in his hands.

What... the other party won't come again next time?

Perot doesn't care about this kind of thing. As one of the most prosperous ports in the Nanyang area, Lavague is mostly merchants coming and going, and he doesn't care about one or the other. Moreover, the matter for merchants in the Ming Dynasty was Ragan (the prince) personally instructed that there were tall men who were holding on to the sky, so he was not afraid.

Seeing that three thousand taels of silver were about to be obtained, even if the big head was to be handed over to Lagan, he could at least intercept one thousand taels of silver. Apart from the part he distributed to his subordinates, he could leave at least five or six hundred taels of silver. Where can I find such a good thing?

Thinking of this, Perot couldn't help laughing, revealing his yellow teeth. When he thought of the money he was about to get and the opportunity to buy a few beautiful maids to serve him, his eyes couldn't help but show a greedy look.

Just as Perro was pride, a soldier from Luzon next to him suddenly pointed to the sea in the distance and shouted: "Look... look... there is a ship in the distance... a ship is coming..."

Perot didn't care at first, but when he heard his subordinates fussed, he couldn't help but curse: "Idiot, have you never seen a ship?"

The scolded soldier had to stutter on weekdays. In desperation, he stuttered even more severely and stuttered: "No... This is not a ship... This is... This is..."

"idiot!"

When Perot heard the soldier's stuttering voice, he was furious and kicked him hard on the butt. However, when he turned around, his eyes suddenly saw a group of black dots coming towards the dock on the sea not far away. He slowly saw masts appearing in front of him.

“Huh…”

Perot exclaimed, as if these ships were a little larger than the ones you usually see.

When Perot first saw the big ship, he was quite happy because he collected taxes according to the size of the ship, the bigger the ship he came, the more tax he collected. But slowly the smile on his face gradually faded, and the last smile solidified on his face.

As time goes by, the eyes of these ships gradually appeared in front of everyone.

The slender hull, the tall masts and the groups of sailors in uniform standing on the deck all told everyone that it was not a merchant ship that was coming, but a fleet.

What big ship is this hell? Is this a warship clearly good?

Perot pulled the soldier who was stuttering on weekdays and asked anxiously: "You have a good look, let's look at what flags are hanging on those ships!"

The soldiers tried hard to look at the fleet heading towards them for a while before frowning, saying, "I can't see what the flag is. The flag is blue, and it seems to be embroidered with a red sun and a yellow moon. By the way... they overlapped together."

"The flag on the blue bottom is embroidered with the sun and the moon?" Perot scratched his head in confusion, and for a moment he couldn't remember which country used this kind of flag.

At this time, more than two hundred years have passed since Zheng He's voyage to the West, and the power of the Ming Dynasty has long disappeared from here. Perot, the natives of Luzon, naturally did not understand the meaning of this flag.

But Perot doesn’t understand, but it doesn’t mean that Manager Li and the others don’t understand. Isn’t the sun and moon flag composed of a blue background, red sun and yellow moon a symbol of the Ming Dynasty?

Manager Li suddenly turned around and looked at the sea. His originally nervous expression was stunned at first, and then he became ecstatic. He turned against his reluctance and resentment just now, and almost broke down. He pointed to the distance and shouted with all his might: "The court, it is the court... it is our Ming navy!"

"The Navy of the Court?"

"Is it really the imperial navy?"

The guys looked at the vast warships heading towards the dock in the distant sea in shock and were stunned.

Since the death of Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures during the Yongle period, the Ming Navy, which was intimidating in the world, began to gradually disappear. The footprints of the Ming Navy never came to this land again. Why did the Ming Navy suddenly appear again? Could it be that there was an illusion?

But this feeling was soon dispelled because the fleet had already appeared in front of them in a mighty manner. The huge flag fluttering on the mast of the warship in front was the familiar sun and moon flag.

Unlike Store Manager Li and the many guys who cheered, Perot and the group of pale soldiers were cheering.
