Chapter 43 Principles
The women and young girls supported each other and walked through the conference square tremblingly under the escort of a group of pirates in Haojing. What's interesting is that they were very scared when they looked at the living people around them. However, when they saw the piles of corpses on the road, most of them spit out with extreme resentment, and finally knelt down at the feet of Zhou Xing, the magistrate of Xiangshan County.
Zhou Xing helped this and that, and finally let the girl who was less than ten years old hold his official robe and pursed her lips tightly to cry with the people.
Chen Mu couldn't stand such a scene, and he knew in his heart that he and Xiangshan Ling Zhou Xing had their own personalities.
Political achievements and gratitude are all for Zhou Xing; merits and profits are for him.
Li Dan grew up in Haojing and was familiar with every grass and tree here. Walking on the wet and exotic streets of Haojing, he was much more comfortable than when he was in Xiangshan. He was wearing a black captain's double-brimmed hat on his head, an exquisite western sword inserted into his waist, and a sleeveless coarse shirt exposed his solid muscles on his body. He smiled a young and frivolous smile on his face until he approached the stone foundation of the church where Chen Mu was located.
"The adoptive father, the child has been arranged, two three-masted centipedes, one two-masted plyboard ship, and four single-masted boats, all of which were taken away."
Li Dan's words were filled with relief, as if it was the first time he had done such a big thing. He smiled and patted his wet clothes and said, "But there were two sloops who were going to run away. The boat was snatched back, but it was almost sunk and it was going to be repaired for two months. Now the shipyard has been controlled by Fu Baihu's flag army, and Hua Yu is helping there."
"well done!"
Chen Mu's heart fell to the ground and the boat was taken down. Li Dan did not make a choice. Everyone was almost happy. However, he still asked in surprise: "Why are there a few more boats? How many people have you lost?"
In the information Huayu brought, Maiyatu only had two centipede ships and three small boats. Why is there a double-brid plywood ship and a single-mad boat now?
"We are all repairing ships in the shipyard, and they are all unfamiliar. The boat capture is disrupted, and we can't tell who is who. After the fight, we only realize that the other two ships are not Mai Yatu." Li Dan's face was no longer proud at this time, and he was worried about making mistakes, saying, "The ship owner is a Franchise maker who sells nitro yellow. He was beaten to death with the sailor. His adoptive father... is it okay?"
Chen Mu curled his lips and said, "The owner of the ship was beaten to death, and things have come to this point, what else can I do and what else can I do."
He could understand the Franchise ship owner's behavior. The repair of the ship caused unintentional disaster. Seeing that a vicious person occupied the shipyard and attempted to seize the ship, he would definitely rise up and resist. This was a fire at the city gate that affected the pond.
Chen Mu was a little cruel and breathed out: "How much does it cost to manpower?"
"We were all prepared to get four injured, and we transferred their people to fight less, and caught more than a dozen."
Li Dan said this easily, but Chen Mu could imagine that things would not be so easy.
"No matter what, everything will be done."
Chen Mu stood up and stretched, moved twice, pointed to the distant conference square and said, "The matter here is settled. I have caught some, and I have also brought a lot of profits. Please ask me to find out where the captains of Mai Yatu lived in Haojing, and then take people to raid the house. I will wait for the county magistrate Zhou to discuss with Franji people, decide on the major affairs of Haojing and sell his house."
Killing people, robbing people, sucking cramps, and sucking bones and sucking marrow.
Li Dan felt that he had learned from his adoptive father, so he nodded repeatedly, "If the child goes down, do it... Is the boat going back to Xiangshan?"
"Go back to Xiangshan, go back, don't go back, the boat will be placed in Haojingxiu."
Chen Mu wanted to go back to Xiangshan, and Xiangshan County was his comfort zone. Hao Jing was still in a chaotic and uneasy after all.
But he couldn't go back, so he blew his chest mask armor twice, looked around, and Chen Mu pointed at his feet.
"From now on, I will decide here."
As he said that, two flag soldiers under Shao Tingda came over the camp, with the old Father Peleth, bowed slightly with the Bible, and asked in a somewhat stiff Chinese language: "General Ming, what are you going to do with us in the camp? And Sir Maiyatu, what are you going to do with him?"
Chen Mu was stunned for a moment. This old man could speak Chinese.
Can you speak Chinese before and asked the officials to pass on the message on their behalf in the gate?
This made him feel unhappy, but the emotion was not about his next decision.
Chen Mu said: "A few days later, the nobles, officers, merchants, captains, and people with identities, including various shop owners, put all the weapons in the camp and can come out to walk."
"At that time, you will be asked to gather all the people with identities in Haojing. Let each of them find a Chinese translator and gather here. I will wait for you here... If you don't come, those who don't come will lose the power to decide the future of Haojing with me."
Chen Mu paused and added: "No, it's not a decision, it's just listening to me."
After saying that, he said to Li Dan again: "Use words he can understand and translate what I just said to him so as not to be wrong. Don't forget to tell him that Mai Yatu is dead."
Originally, Chen Mu's words made Father Peleis look bad, and then Li Dan retelled in a spell and was even more merciless. The old priest's expression was extremely difficult to see - this was not about Chen Mu's arrogance, but more obvious things.
The Ming Dynasty wanted to implement stricter management of Haojing. If this army arrived with it, it would inevitably bring difficulties to the Jesus' mission and spreading the gospel in the Ming Dynasty.
Because this young Ming general was difficult to get along with.
Unlike the officials of the Ming Dynasty who are proud and greedy, because they are more proud and greedy than others!
What he wants is obviously not money, but more.
Father Peleth wanted to argue a few words, but was interrupted by Chen Mu. He sighed and showed a compassionate expression, saying, "Many people have died today, and God doesn't want more people to die. Go and tell them."
There should be no God in this era. Although the wheel of history does favor Westerners, the Westerners who have become mad after monopolizing the land trade routes due to the Ottoman Empire began to look up at the sea.
But this era is different.
If there is no omniscient and omnipotent person in the world, there will naturally be no God.
The person who recently received God's surname is Chen.
"Go and call Zhou County Magistrate over. The villain has been surrendered. It is time to discuss how Haojing should be managed."
Chen Mu smiled, he hoped that Zhou Xing would have a curriculum about managing Haojing.
There is not much time left for them to reach a consensus. The only way to decide on various matters of Haojing is to be the two of them, but the governor Zhang Han and governor Xiong Jue who are far away in Guangzhou Prefecture. Only when they travel back and forth between two days can they make up the rules for negotiation with Fanyi.
