When Pero woke up, the first thing he saw was a pair of black high-top leather shoes that had never seen before. He slowly looked at his head.

It was a pair of slender and straight legs and a light blue uniform. A beautiful and heroic woman was squatting beside her and looking at her curiously. Next to him was a group of soldiers holding muskets and silenced in their faces.

Looking around again, Perot found that the hundreds of soldiers under him knelt on the ground with their hands in their arms, and their weapons had long been thrown aside.

When Perot saw this, his heart was cold.

"It's over!"

At this moment, the woman asked in Luzon dialect, which was not very skillful but still understandable, “Who are you?”

If he had seen such a beautiful woman on weekdays, Perot would have whistled and asked him with a slight slut. But today he was in no mood at all. He trembled and said, "I am...I am the tax officer of Lavag, who are you...you?"

The woman said lightly: "I am Liu Xiang, deputy admiral of the Fujian Navy of the Ming Dynasty. Now, the King of Luzon, Morkan, and the Spanish, colluded with each other to persecute our Ming merchants. I am ordered by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to conquer and other unjust countries."

Liu Xiang's words were a bit literary, which was very different from what she said on weekdays. Yang Feng next to him laughed a little secretly.

As soon as he heard that the Ming Dynasty was going to attack Luzon, Perot was just a small tax officer, but he knew that this would be a huge disaster for Luzon. In a hurry, he was about to jump up. Two soldiers who had already prepared long ago saw it and grabbed his arm and twisted it back, kicked him hard behind his knees, knocking him back to kneel.

Perot, who was trampled on the ground with two legs, roared with hissing and trying his best: "As the supreme country of the Celestial Empire, how could Daming do such a bullying of the weak? I don't agree, I don't agree!"

At this moment, a voice sounded: "Bah... You know now that the Ming Dynasty is the Kingdom of the Celestial Empire. Why didn't you expect this when you bullied us? Now you have moved the Kingdom of the Celestial Empire out. I'm!"

Everyone turned around and saw a middle-aged man with more than a dozen men coming to Perro, pointing at him and yelling loudly.

"Perot, I think you are a coward who bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong. You forced us to collect 3,000 taels of silver from us just now."

After saying that, the middle-aged man knelt down in front of Liu Xiang and cried, "Ming Dynasty merchant Li Qidi met with the Admiral. These Luzon people have bullied our Ming Dynasty merchants. You must make decisions for the common people!"

Seeing Manager Li kneeling down, the friends behind him all knelt down in unison: "Sir, you have to make the decision for Caomin and others!"

At this time, many merchants dressed in Ming Dynasty came one after another on the dock. After seeing Liu Xiang on the dock and the Ming warship that was docking, many people showed surprise on their faces and soon rushed towards the dock. As time went by, more and more people were coming.

Liu Xiang frowned slightly and asked curiously: "Who are you? How could you recognize me?"

Manager Li said respectfully: "Now, no one who seeks life at sea knows the reputation of Deputy Admiral Liu. You follow Jiangning Hou to fight in Nanyang, sweep away Zheng Zhilong and the pirates in Nanyang, and then expel the Dutch entrenched in Taiwan. It is famous. No matter how ignorant a villain is, you must know you!"

Everyone loves to listen to flattery. Although Liu Xiang is not a person who likes to flatter, her originally stern face also smiles after listening to Manager Li's words.

She turned around and pointed at Yang Feng: "Shopkeeper Li, since you know my identity, why don't you pay a visit to Jiang Ning wait here?"

"Ah...Jiangning Hou!"

Manager Li was startled at first, and then when he saw Yang Feng, who was standing next to Liu Xiang, wearing a green uniform like an ordinary soldier, his face showed a look of surprise, and he knelt down again with a thud and shouted: "The grass-roots Li Qidi bowed to the Marquis, I wish the Marquis peace!"

"Caomin is waiting to see the Marquis!"

For a moment, all the merchants and sailors from Ming Kingdom on the dock were kneeling all over the ground.

In recent years, the most famous person in Fujian and the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province is nothing but our Yang Feng.

Not to mention the reopening of the maritime ban he implemented in Fujian, he said that he rebuilt the Fujian Navy, first destroyed Zheng Zhilong, a group of pirates who had been traversing the South China Sea for many years, then drove the Dutch out of Taiwan, and then took Macau back from the Portuguese. Some time ago, the Qing Tartars, the biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty, destroyed the country. So many contributions were enough to make his reputation shock the entire Ming Dynasty.

Seeing the person who had knelt all over the ground, Yang Feng glared at Liu Xiang first, then raised his hands and said aloud: "Shopkeeper Li, please get up, all the fellow Ming people!"

"Thank you, Marquis!" After hearing Yang Feng's words, Li Qidi and others stood up.

After everyone got up, Yang Feng turned his head and asked Manager Li who was standing respectfully in front of him, saying, "Do these Luzon people really persecut our Ming merchants on weekdays?"

After learning that the young man in front of him was really awesome, Jiang Ning Hou, who was shocked and happy when he heard his question, he did not dare to neglect him, and quickly answered respectfully: "It's so good for the Marquis to learn that since the Zheng Da chief was heard half a year ago... No, it was after Zheng Zhilong was wiped out by the imperial naval army, the Luzon people's attitude towards our Ming merchants has gradually become arrogant. At the least, they can raise prices at will to exploit them, and at the worst, they can even kill people and rob money. Our Ming merchants are really miserable."

Yang Feng was a little stunned when he heard this, "This is actually the case, why is this?"

"It's such a marquis..."

Li Qidi quickly told the whole story.

It turned out that when Zheng Zhilong was there, his power not only radiated to the Fusang area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, but also to the Nanyang sphere. Because he had a large number of ships and powerful forces, countries in the Nanyang area were also very respectful to him, so no one dared to bully the Ming merchants in the Nanyang area.

But since Zheng Zhilong was destroyed by Yang Feng, the pressure that was originally under the heads of the Southeast Asian countries was gone. In addition, the intentional or unintentional instigation of the Spaniards entrenched on the land of Luzon, Luzon began to suppress the merchants of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, they didn't dare to do too much at the beginning, but with the continuous temptation and the Ming merchants retreated step by step, the Luzon State gradually tasted the sweetness. Zheng Zhilong was really finished, and no one was ahead of them. So the Luzon State launched a feast to plunder and exploit the Ming merchants, which led to the fact that Perot forced Manager Li and the others to hand over 3,000 taels of silver today.

After listening to Li Qidi telling the matter in a simplified manner, Liu Xiang nodded and said, "That's true. When Zheng Zhilong was still there, their fleets were spread all over the Southeast Asian area. Not to mention the Luzon Kingdom, even the Spaniards did not dare to force the Ming merchant ships flying the flags issued by Zheng Zhilong."

Yang Feng couldn't help but feel amused and amazed. He had the feeling that Zheng Zhilong had destroyed him and had such sequelae.

However, this incident also reminded Yang Feng that the West is now in a period of great voyage, and Westerners are crazily extending to the world through their tentacles. If the Ming Dynasty does not occupy this place in Nanyang, there will naturally be Western colonists to occupy it.

From this incident, we can see that just a few months after Zheng Zhilong was wiped out, the Luzon State began to adopt a strategy of oppression and exploitation against the Ming merchants. Although there was the instigation of the Spanish, it was also the Luzonian greed at work.

"Marty, what should these Luzon people deal with?" Just as Yang Feng was pondering, Liu Xiang asked on the side.

"These Luzons?"

Yang Feng looked at Perot who was kneeling on the ground and the Luzon soldiers who had abandoned their weapons and surrendered. His eyes turned around and of course they would not be able to let them go. Since these Luzon people dared to bully the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, they had to bear the consequences of the Ming Dynasty's thunder and anger.

But it wouldn't be great to kill them all. If you kill them as soon as you come, and if you are instigated by the Spanish, you might end up making enemies everywhere.

After thinking about it, Yang Feng said, "It's better to demote all the people named Perot and these Luzon soldiers to slaves and sell them to those merchants. I think the Ming merchants would like these slaves very much."

"hiss……"

Even though Liu Xiang has been exploring the sea for many years, she was shocked by Yang Feng's move.

This move is really too poisonous. Perot and these Luzon soldiers have been suffering from many merchants who have harmed the Ming Dynasty for more than half a year. If they were demoted to slaves and sold to these merchants, they would not have to think about what their fate would be. It is absolutely no exaggeration to describe it as a matter of thinking.

However, Liu Xiang didn't plan to say anything about this. She had no connection with her anyway, and she could make some money by selling these people, so why not do it?

Sure enough, when Liu Xiang announced that he would demote Perot and these Luzon soldiers to slaves and sell them, all the Ming merchants on the dock were sensational. Many people looked at the Luzon soldiers kneeling on the ground, and there seemed to be a kind of golden light in their eyes.

Especially Manager Li, as soon as Liu Xiang finished speaking, he almost jumped and rushed to her and shouted: "Sir, how much does this Perro cost? Can you sell him to the grass-root?"

Liu Xiang was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Yes, if you want it, you can give me three hundred taels of silver."

To be honest, buying a slave for 300 taels of silver is too expensive. Even in the Ming Dynasty, if you want to buy a slave who signed a death contract, it will only cost 30 to 60 taels of silver. This price is actually a sky-high price.
