Daming Haiku

Chapter 99 to control the barbarians

Li Qing turned out to be a maritime merchant in Quanzhou, not a professional boatman, let alone a pirate. The reason why he stayed here was because of his curiosity.

Originally, he was a shopkeeper in Quanzhou and didn't have to go to sea at all. Once the shopkeeper wanted to go out to do goods, so Li Qing begged him to follow him to learn more.

However, they didn't expect that after their ship went to sea, it encountered a big storm. Seeing that the ship was going to be overturned in the storm, in order to save their lives, the boatman had to cut off the mast, which prevented the ship from sinking on the spot, but the ship lost its mast and lost its power. It could only follow the storm. Drift away.

As a result, their ship finally floated to the Taiwanese, but unfortunately, their ship hit a reef and sank on the shore, so the people on the ship had to abandon the boat and swam ashore.

Later, they looked for something to eat on the shore and met a native tribe, which was quite good. Instead of arresting them and killing them, they saw that they were all young and strong men, so they took them in the tribe to enrich their strength.

Li Qing and others stayed in this native tribe. It's not that they don't want to go back to the land, but that the natives are strict with them, so that they don't have a chance to escape. Even if they have a chance to escape, they dare not move, for fear of getting lost in the jungle, being eaten by beasts or being caught by other cannibals. Swallow and peel it alive.

In this way, they lived in this native tribe for nearly a year. Half of the people on the same boat either died of illness or were bitten to death by snakes and insects. Another accidentally encountered the trap of other tribes and fell into the trap and were stabbed to death by bamboo sticks. Only he and three other companions were tenacious persistence. Come down.

They were already sad enough. They couldn't go back to their homes, but they had to stay in the jungle as savages, but this was not the worst. More than a month ago, their tribe had a dispute with another group of indigenous tribes and was suddenly attacked by another tribe one day.

His tribe was caught off guard and was beaten up. The men in the tribe fled, and the women and children were also robbed by another tribe.

One of Li Qing's companions was also killed by another group of natives, but Li Qing was more clever. Seeing the situation, he plunged into the jungle and fled desperately.

Later, he was separated from others and stayed in the jungle for many days. He inadvertently wandered to Jilong Bay and saw the camp of the sea wolf below on the mountain.

After identifying that this was a person from the land, although Li Qing felt that these people might be pirates, his strong desire to return to the civilized society still made him plunge down without hesitation and ran to the camp for help.

So he was left here. Someone asked him what he would do. Li Qing said that he could keep accounts and read. At that time, the quarry happened to be a recorder, so the blackhead sent Li Qing to the quarry to work.

Li Qing did not tell anyone that he could speak the local language here. Some days ago, they captured several natives and threw them to the quarry to do hard work. Some people found that Li Qing could actually communicate with the natives and speak a relatively fluent native language.

After learning about Li Qing's background, Yu Xiaotian asked Li Qing, "Do you have any family in Quanzhou?"

Li Qing shook his head and said, "The little one has been sold to our shopkeeper's house as a slave since he was a child, and he doesn't even know where his hometown is, let alone where his family is!"

Yu Xiaotian nodded and said, "So, in this case, you can stay here and work with Yu!" I really need someone like you. Work hard. I won't treat you badly!"

At this time, what other good choices does Li Qing have? His shopkeeper is dead, leaving him alone. Now he is in the thief's nest. What else can he do besides staying for others? Although he was a thief, it was at least better than being a native in the jungle, and in the month he came here, he found that this group of pirates who called themselves sea wolves were not as cruel and unkind as he thought.

On the contrary, these pirates are still very reasonable, and they treat the people who work here quite well. They are full every day, and even have better food than when he was a clerk in Quanzhou. Unexpectedly, they can still get a little fishy every few days. It can be seen that this sea wolf is still good!

So Li Qing agreed and expressed his willingness to follow Yu Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian was very happy and felt that he was quite lucky and thought of anything. With Li Qing, it was much easier to deal with the native tribe that attacked them.

So he asked Li Qing to trap the captured natives and inquire about the approximate location of their tribe, so that he could take action against them next.

Li Qing immediately shook his head and said, "I'm the boss, there's no need to set it up!" This group of natives was the group of natives who attacked my tribe at the beginning. They were the most ferocious group in this area. There were as many as four or 500 people in their tribe, and they were brave and fierce. The surrounding native tribes were often bullied by them, and other natives were afraid of them and were destroyed by them by a little carelessness. The women were arrested to live for them. Children, children are captured and raised by them to become their people!

The natives arrested a few days ago are exactly their people, and ordinary people don't dare to come here to attack!"

As soon as Yu Xiaotian heard this, he immediately asked, "So do you know where they live?"

"The big head, the little one roughly knows that the place where they usually live, from here to the southwest, over two mountains, about 20 miles, through two streams, is where they are!" Li Qing replied quickly.

Yu Xiaotian asked Li Qing, "So can you show us the way to find them?"

Li Qing immediately nodded and said, "Yes! The little ones will definitely find them."

Yu Xiaotian nodded and asked Li Qing to rest, sent someone to change his residence, and directly integrated it into the sea wolf tribe, and treated him according to the treatment of the sea wolf tribe.

After Li Qing retired, Yu Xiaotian immediately summoned Blackhead, Sun Baoqiang and others to start discussing this matter.

The number of locals exceeded their expectations. Originally, they thought that the average indigenous tribes were about 180, but the number of locals reached 400 to 500, and this is still the number of men. Coupled with women and children, it is estimated that there will be nearly 1,000.

And the number of people they can currently call here will not exceed 50 soldiers, and the total number of soldiers and sailors drawn from the ship cannot exceed 100. In this way, their number will be at an absolute disadvantage, and they will have to be one against five.

And the unfavorable situation and they are not very familiar with the jungle here, and they are not very good at fighting in the jungle. If they hit them like this, they may even be destroyed by others.

Many people shudder at the thought of being caught by the natives, peeled and cramped and cooked on the fire and eaten by the natives.

Yu Xiaotian himself felt that he was not very sure and hesitated a little.

They discussed it until dark and did not come up with any good way, so they could only eat first and then discuss countermeasures in the evening. If it really didn't work, Yu Xiaotian felt that he could only draw people from Nanri Island to help.

But at dinner, Yu Xiaotian also called Li Qing and discussed it together. After listening to everyone's worries, Li Qing thought about it for a while, got up and bowed to Xiaotian and said, "Big boss, there is a way for the little one. I don't know if it will work!"

Yu Xiaotian nodded and said, "What good can you do? Just say it. It's all your own family here. It doesn't matter if you make a mistake!"

Li Qing then said, "In fact, we don't have to deal with this group of natives by ourselves. As far as I know, there are at least six or seven native tribes around Jilong Bay. These natives hate this group of guys and are bullied by them a lot, but for a long time, each of these natives have taken the lead together. If someone can take the lead in dealing with this group of guys, it will definitely not be a problem to destroy them!"

After listening to this, Yu Xiaotian's eyes lit up and suddenly thought of a noun, "using the barbarians to control the barbarians". It was really a good way to use other natives to deal with this group of natives.

So he immediately asked, "Okay! Well said! This method is indeed a good way, but the question is how to contact these natives and whether they can agree to cooperate with us!"

Li Qing thought for a moment and said, "This little one is not sure, but you can try it!" The little ones can go into the mountain to find the natives of the former tribe. If they can find a few of them, the big head can give them a favor and let them see our strength. They should almost help us contact the natives of other tribes!"

Yu Xiaotian patted his thigh and immediately said, "It's so good! That's it. Then it will be good for you to go to the mountain tomorrow. I'll send someone to escort you to ensure your safety!"

Li Qing gritted his teeth and knelt down to respond to his orders. He also knew that in fact, he didn't have much ability. The reason why he was valued by this Yu Da's head was that he could speak the local dialect. If he did not make full use of this prerequisite and make some contributions to Yu Xiaotian, then he would have no value here, and in the future However, if he stays in the sea wolf to work, then he has to find a way to improve his status.

This is the best time for him to perform. If he doesn't dare to take risks, he may never have a chance in the future, so he gritted his teeth and secretly thought about wealth and danger, and it was worth fighting.

The next morning, several Japanese, together with four archers and two * hands, escorted Li Qing away from Chickenlong wan and plunged into the deep mountains and old forests to start the operation.

Three days later, Li Qing really had a bad luck. In the vast jungle, he found several natives who had been separated from him, and even found a companion of his. After explaining the situation, he took them back to Chickenlong wan.

(Chapter 2 has arrived. Today, the tuberculosis test has been ruled out, and the cause of low fever has still not been found. Unlucky! I don't know what to do!)
