804 Drinking and spitting out the truth
"Huh?" Johnson listened, but just said "um".
When Phillips heard this, he became even more energetic, immediately put down his wine glass, stretched his head to Johnson's side and said: "I'll tell you, this Colombo, in fact, we Portugal can't hold out for many years." Under the alliance of those natives and the Dutch, those natives are not easy to say, they are just the Dutch, they absolutely know how to fight Colombo. Believe it or not, if the Ming army does not come, this Colombo will sooner or later fall into the hands of the Dutch. ”
His guess was correct, if the original history was followed, Colombo would eventually be captured by the Dutch.
Phillips sneered when he said this, and then continued: "His Royal Highness the King is also a good plan, Colombo is better than unable to hold it, it is better to give it to Ming Guo as a big gift!" ”
"Be careful!" Johnson listened, and subconsciously turned his head to look outside. Then I remembered that the Ming army that entered the city was mainly on duty at the city gate and important places in the city, which did not include the governor's palace.
When Phillips heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he sneered: "What is there to be cautious about, there are no outsiders here!" ”
When Johnson heard this, he had to smile wryly. Forget it, just let him vent well.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Phillips took a sip of wine, and then continued to say to Johnson: "Also, it is true that the Ming army can defeat Dongwu, but it is the result of the Ming Emperor's personal expedition. I heard that since the emperor of the Ming Kingdom began to lead his troops to fight, he has been invincible and invincible. The reason why Dongwu fell into the hands of the Ming Kingdom, others say that it is the power of the arrow god, but people in positions like you and me, who doesn't know that it is the credit of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom! No matter how good your archery skills are, how many people can you kill, isn't it? ”
Hearing this, Johnson finally responded: "I don't know anything else, just the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, I am on the side of Haojingao, and I must know more than you." Not to mention, I have carefully understood that among the emperors of the Far East, the current Ming Emperor fought the most powerful war, which is absolutely recognized. ”
When Phillips heard this, he laughed for a while, and he didn't know if he admired the Ming Emperor or drank too much wine and even disagreed with the Ming Emperor.
After another sip of wine, Phillips's face turned even redder, and he didn't know if he was drunk and spit out the truth, so he heard him say to Johnson again: "Look at that arrow god, it's really self-righteous!" If it were me, I would definitely discuss it carefully, and at least some of the men should be left behind, or even all the troops borrowed, and it would not be too late for us to go until the whole of Ceylon was captured......"
Speaking of this, seeing that Johnson seemed to want to explain, he continued to speak in an accentuated tone: "...... At least we have been here for a hundred years, and if you want to say that you are familiar with Ceylon, who is familiar with us? We have all experienced over the years which tribes are easy to rebel against, which places are easy to attack, and which places can be ambushed! But...... Hehe...... He dislikes us as much as he fucks us, as if he wishes we could leave quickly, and thinks we're cumbersome! Hehe...... When they get into the quagmire of Ceylon, I ...... I'll just wait to see if the joke is ......"
Well, sure enough, no matter how the Ming army is handed over, the governor is going to be forced to leave Colombo, and he has a lot of complaints in his heart, so let him vent, anyway, the Ming army doesn't know about it, let him vent!
Thinking so, Johnson echoed him, simply persuaded him to drink, got drunk and threw it on the bed, and the day passed.
…………
In Colombo City, night fell, but Li Dingguo, the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, meticulously took his personal guards and patrolled around. Of course, his inspection was mainly aimed at the Ming soldiers who entered the city. As for the Francos and their servants, as long as it doesn't affect his soldiers, he doesn't care.
When he was inspecting a corner of the city, he suddenly heard a suppressed cry, and he could hear that there were many people crying. So, he followed the sound and looked for it. As you get closer, you can hear voices mixed with anger.
When he arrived at the place, Li Dingguo understood a little that this should be the place where the prisoners were held. But there was no one guarding the door, and all the cries came from this house.
The large walk-in is a passage that leads to the underground. Before I could go any further, I smelled a foul smell. Li Dingguo could distinguish it at once, the smell of sweat, feces and urine, and even the smell of rotting corpses.
Suddenly, he frowned and quickened his pace.
He saw the underground dungeon, which was very large, at least when he first got to the bottom, he couldn't see the end at all. Near the entrance, there was the sound of lewd laughter from several cells, as well as the movement of a woman who knew what it was at the first hearing. And in a few cells not far away, there were also cries, and there were angry shouts from some people.
There were dim oil lamps on the walls of the prison and in the middle aisles. However, Li Dingguo can probably see the situation in the prison.
In the nearest cells, there were a group of Francos and their servants, forcing the indigenous women to do what they did not want to do. There were even a few who had passed out on the side. And in the other cells, it is densely packed with people, the kind that can't be squeezed in.
Seeing this situation, Li Dingguo immediately became angry.
When he entered the city before, he had seen the natives who had been captured outside the city. Therefore, he knew in his heart that the people who were imprisoned here were not those who committed crimes in the city, but those natives who were captured by the Franco.
If it is replaced by another Ming general, based on the relationship between the two countries, in the absence of a military order, it may be regarded as invisible. However, Li Dingguo was different, and immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Take it!" ”
The Portuguese and their servants in the cell were dying, and one of them even said unhappily to the people behind him who wanted to get up: "What's the hurry, even if you want to live as happily as you want before leaving, don't you have a day, don't squeeze ......?"
Before he could finish his words, he felt that he was choked by the neck, and then he used it vigorously, and flew backwards in one fell swoop, falling five feet into the air.
The screams of "Ahh
The movement of the Ming army was naturally seen by many natives, who originally didn't care, anyway, they were all foreign robbers. But suddenly, this action of the Ming army was unexpected by them, and suddenly, they even forgot about crying or anger, and they all stared at the Ming army, not knowing what they were doing?
The Portuguese and their servants were also confused, what was the situation? Some of them are not clear-headed, or the sperm worms are on the brain, and after being thrown out, they still shout, looking like that, they seem to be very unconvinced, and they want to ask for an explanation.
Without any superfluous movements, the sound of drawing the knife sounded "whoosh", and the blade reflecting the light under the light was aimed at them, and at the same time the Ming soldiers shouted angrily: "Don't move!" ”
They were also not polite at their feet, and kicked them one by one, kicking these Portuguese and servant soldiers into the corner, and squatting naked with their heads in their hands.
The last few prisons were quickly cleared, and there were no more five-legged ones except for the indigenous women. The soldiers of the Ming army immediately withdrew from their cells and returned to Li Dingguo to pay the order.
Li Dingguo didn't pay attention to the people squatting on the ground, but walked slowly to the prison.
To be honest, there was actually a lot of commotion in the prison just now, but at this time, there was no sound, and all the indigenous prisoners were staring at Li Dingguo curiously, looking incomprehensible and shocked.
Li Dingguo looked at the prison, almost every cell was already full of people, and even in many cells, the indigenous prisoners could not even sit down. The smell of sweat, the smell of feces and urine, and the smell of rotting corpses, all came out of it.
Under the quiet, Li Dingguo could still hear the "gurgling" sound from many people's stomachs. Looking at them, it seems that they have been hungry for I don't know how long. In some cells, you can still see many children, one by one weakly hiding in the arms of adults. Looking at Li Dingguo's eyes, he was very eager and very afraid.
After turning around, when Li Dingguo walked out, these indigenous prisoners came back to their senses, and they all yelled at Li Dingguo, and they didn't know what they were talking about.
This time I came to Ceylon, naturally, with an interpreter who knew the indigenous language. However, I didn't expect to deal with the natives so quickly, so the interpreters were all with the Governor's side and did not enter the city.
But Li Dingguo doesn't need a translator, and he probably knows what they are shouting. But at this time, he ignored these people. Walking to the door of the cell, he shouted "take away", and he walked out of the cell first.
In the cell, Rabraka was one of the few who didn't roar much. When he saw the Ming army come in and clean up those people, he also subconsciously calmed down and looked at these newcomers curiously.
But when he saw the Ming army escorting those beasts out, he sneered. What happened just now is not enough to explain anything. What else can come to Ceylon but robbers?
These people are all abandoned by the gods of heaven! Otherwise, we wouldn't have been living in dire straits for hundreds of years.
The sound of begging for mercy and thirst for food sounded again, but Laburaka was silent. It's not that he's not hungry, it's that he knows that no one will care about them. The outcome of their arrest is already doomed.
I don't know how long it took, but to everyone's surprise, there was suddenly movement in the passage at the door, and the sound of a lot of armor crashing immediately reminded the indigenous prisoners here that they were probably who they were.
As a result, almost all the indigenous prisoners in the prison stared curiously at the prison prisoners, wondering what the new "robbers" were doing this time.
