Chapter 1300 Despair
When Norbu fled again, another important criminal who was wanted by Ming Dynasty was living a happy life, or in other words, he was flourishing and had the potential to rise again. He was Liu Xiang.

After he landed in Mexico with the only remaining crew, relying on his years of experience in dealing with Xiyi, he knew what Xiyi would like.Therefore, after he arrived, he used his influence to make trouble among the Chinese and make a fortune.

The Chinese who were originally in Mexico were a disadvantaged group and a group that was oppressed.When Liu Xiang and the others came, they oppressed them again, making them miserable, but no one could make decisions for them.In the end, I really couldn't stand it anymore, so I pushed a few people and went to the Governor's Mansion to beg.

So, Liu Xiang was ordered to go to the Spanish governor's mansion, and was summoned by the Mexican governor: "Are you the leader of the Ming people?"

The Mexican Governor's complexion was a bit ugly, with a cold face.

"The villain is the head of all the wise people!" Liu Xiang blustered, and responded with a mouthful, with a smile on his face, and then offered the gift he had prepared in his hands, "This is a gift from the villain to the governor. Be careful, and please the Governor-General please accept it with a smile!"

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

When Liu Xiang met, she knew that Xiyi were all like raccoon dogs. She was very calm in her heart, so she continued to humbly smile and said: "Mr. Collecting the annual tax can also give the governor an additional [-]% of the tax paid.”

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

Originally, Liu Xiang was taller than the Mexican governor, but at this time, when he saw the Mexican governor approaching, he bent his waist and automatically became shorter, with the same charming smile on his face.

When the Governor of Mexico saw it, he couldn't help but feel more satisfied. He immediately reached out and patted Liu Xiang on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Very well, I am very satisfied with you. In this way, you will be in charge of Ming people in Mexico in the future. But You must remember your promise!"

There are actually many Ming people in Mexico, and they are similar to Ming people in other places. They are hardworking and capable, which is the label of Ming people. For this reason, no matter where they go, they can slowly accumulate wealth and be squeezed by the envy of the locals.

Now that Liu Xiang came to Mexico, he used his power to wantonly oppress his compatriots, and took the initiative to work for Xiyi, and immediately won the favor of Xiyi.

"Don't worry, Governor. The villain has the support of the Governor. Whatever you tell those people to do, they will definitely do it. Otherwise, I won't be able to deal with them!" Liu Xiang nodded and bowed, but said something with a hint of ferocity. "We have a saying in Ming Dynasty As the saying goes, if your own people know your own people, if there are villains around, you won’t be afraid that those people will turn the world upside down, and you won’t be able to fool me, the villains will definitely eat them to death!"

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

"The villain obeys!" Liu Xiang was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly agreed.

At the gate of the Governor's Mansion, there were two groups of wise men confronting each other, one of them, although the number was smaller, stared fiercely at those opposite.With their expressions, it seemed that if they hadn't been concerned about the Spanish guards standing guard at the door, they would have rushed to teach the people on the other side a lesson.

The people on the opposite side are mainly older people, and there are only two young boys.They all have worried faces.One of the old men saw that he was a little weak and a little scared, so he whispered to his companion: "Don't worry, the governor has listened to our appeal and passed the thief Liu Xiang in, and he will definitely warn you. He, we will have a better life in the future."

"Old Liu is right. Anyway, we have been here for so many years and have offered sacrifices to the Spaniards for so many years." Another middle-aged man echoed in a low voice, "They are new here, and they are not looking for work. The Spaniards I definitely don’t like people like them, the governor will help us!”

Hearing the two of them talking one after another, the faces of these people all looked a little better.Those young men even gained courage, dared to look at the thieves on the opposite side, and stared back angrily.

Under such a confrontation, there was movement from inside, and Liu Xiang was seen walking out swaggeringly accompanied by a Spaniard.

Seeing this, the pirates suddenly became happy, and shouted excitedly: "Big Brother, Big Brother..."

As for Mr. Liu and his group, they couldn't help but feel a sinking heart, feeling a little bad.

When Liu Xiang arrived at the door, he humbly said to the Spaniard, "Your Excellency, please stop. Your Excellency is busy with things, and the villain can only take care of the rest!"

Hearing this, the Spaniard enjoyed Liu Xiang's flattery very much, nodded immediately, and grumbled a few words to the guard at the door, then turned and walked back without looking at Mr. Liu's group.

Liu Xiang bowed to see him off, and when he was far away, he straightened his waist, and when he turned around, his face was already looking fierce, and he immediately shouted to his subordinates: "What are you doing in a daze? The unruly people dare to come to the governor's mansion to sue us, and still do nothing?"

When the subordinates heard that, they were all overjoyed.They are all desperadoes, and they are best at doing business at sea.They pulled out their knives and rushed over, forcing those old Liu and his group who had no weapons at all, and then beat them to death in front of the Governor's Mansion, until they hit everyone, no matter young or old. The old man, no one stood still, so he gave up.

Liu Xiang walked in front of them with her hands behind her back, looked down at the Ming people lying all over the ground, didn't care about their painful groans, and said coldly: "Your Excellency has said that from now on, all the Ming people here in Mexico will be under my control." .If anyone refuses to accept it, I will beat him until he is convinced!"

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and said arrogantly: "Go!"

Regardless of the ground, just like that, Liu Xiang took his men and walked away.

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

Although the young man was beaten the hardest, he was full of vigor after all. He climbed up first, and then helped the old man up.

Looking at each other, they all have bruised noses and swollen faces, and there are many scars on their bodies.Everyone's face is full of despair.Fight, you can't beat these pirate-born desperadoes, and ask the government lords to decide, but it is obvious that the Spanish government lords are on the side of the pirates.

How are you living these days?
They supported each other to go back, and gave another blow to the compatriots waiting there.

What to do, what should we do in the future?
No matter what the reason, they came across the ocean and lived a very difficult life under the rule of the Spanish. Now, with the squeeze of these pirates, the future is really unimaginable!
"Oh, my old bones seem to be buried here!" Old Liu sighed.

Everyone else knew that Mr. Liu's wish was to return the fallen leaves to their roots, so they wanted to save more money and pay more money to the Spaniards, hoping to bring him back to Daming.But now, almost everyone's money has been hacked by Liu Xiang and the gang of pirates once.

These pirates, who are also Ming people, are more ruthless than the Spaniards. Knowing the habits of Ming people, they can't hide it from them at all. They can estimate how much money they have.

"Uncle Liu, instead of sitting here waiting to die, we should go back by boat!" A young man who was beaten suddenly said angrily, "Even if we die at sea on our 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.But Mr. Liu sighed and said, "Siming, the sea is vast, and we don't know the route. How can we go back? Besides, we don't have sailboats like those in Spain. If we go out to sea alone, there will be no death. live!"

The others nodded when they heard it.Siming, surnamed Wei, was about to speak after hearing this, when another older man followed suit and said: "Siming, you were born here, I'm afraid you don't know, but in fact life in Daming is not so good, the government tax It’s very heavy, and there’s a lot of hard labor. If it wasn’t for the hard life, I wouldn’t be deceived, saying life here is good!”

"Yeah, life in China is not for people. I just escaped from labor and hid on a nearby island to live. Then I was bumped into by the Spaniards and snatched me here." Another older follower said,

When Wei Siming heard this, he didn't care: "My parents gave me this name, and they just wanted me to go back to Daming one day. No matter what, at least there are all of us with black hair and yellow skin over there, so don't see me anymore." The Spaniards are going to bow their heads. Here, there is no hope at all. Are we being treated as human beings here?"

This is also true. Hearing this, the people in the room couldn't help but fell silent.

Wei Siming touched the bag on his forehead, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind: "No matter what, even if I die, I would rather die in the sea on the way home than be bullied by Xiyi and those pirates!"

After hearing this, Mr. Liu sighed and said, "Actually, even if we escaped death and returned to China, the government might arrest us as hidden households."

Speaking of this, he suddenly changed the subject and said: "But I'm old, and the fallen leaves return to their roots. No matter how I go back, whether I can go back or not, it's settled like this, Siming, let's go together!"

Seeing that the attitudes of both of them are very firm, the others are also a little moved.In the end, three or four older people made a decision to go together.Most of the others were silent.

After all, in their view, the possibility of going back is extremely low.The greatest possibility is to die in the ocean on the way home and be buried in the bottom of the sea.Few people have the guts to take such a risk.

Seeing this, Mr. Liu said to the people in the room: "That's how it is, you go back and ask quietly, if anyone is willing to go back together, then we will be together!"

In this way, the people 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 up his things, suddenly, a companion rushed into his house and said to him in a panic, "Brother Siming, run quickly, someone has informed you." Said you were going to run away, Liu Xiang and the gang of pirates came to catch you, and said they wanted to beat you to death in public, killing chickens and scaring monkeys!"

When Wei Siming heard this, he panicked immediately. He couldn't beat those people at all, even if he tried his best.So, he didn't pack up his things, and ran away quickly.

Mr. Liu and the others also received a report from their compatriots, joined Wei Siming, and immediately escaped into the mountains.

After a few days, they finally fled to the seaside exhausted.Here, there is a relatively large fishing boat, which is why they have the idea of ​​going back by boat.If you don't have a boat, don't even think about it.

But before they prepared anything, Liu Xiang's men chased after them, forcing them to sail out to sea immediately.

In the vast sea, they were exhausted, their faces were full of despair.Originally, it was a return journey after a narrow escape, if I had prepared better, maybe there would be more hope.But now that he escaped in such a hurry, he didn't even have enough fresh water for a few days, so he would definitely die in the sea.

After taking a breath, Mr. Liu made a decision: "Let's go north first, find a place where no one is there, and land again, and prepare for supplies again."

"I've also looked at the map, and it seems that the north side will be narrower, maybe it will be easier to return to Daming!" Another person echoed.

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

The others had no objection either, so they headed north.

After a few days, they felt that they should break away from the territory controlled by the Spaniards, that is to say, Liu Xiang's gang of pirates should not have chased them over, so they moved closer to the coast.

On the fishing boat, Mr. Liu's condition is not very good.As he was getting older, his injuries from being beaten by Liu Xiang and others hadn't healed yet, so he ran around day and night in a hurry, his body couldn't take it anymore, and he fell ill.

In fact, other people's health is not much better, almost a boatload of injuries.It means that Wei Siming is young, and there is no serious problem.

At this time, the people on board, everyone was lifeless, lifeless, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.Each of them actually knew in their hearts that it was impossible to cross the ocean and return to their hometown just like this.

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

In a drowsy state, Wei Siming suddenly found something was wrong, and quickly pulled himself together to take a look. He was shocked and saw a sailing ship with the Spanish flag flying very close to them.He could even see a few Xiyi standing on the bow of the boat watching them.

Suddenly, everyone panicked and wanted to run away.However, he is a big sailing ship, so he can't run away at all.Now, they are really desperate!
