Eight hundred and seventy-eighth chapter heart battle (1)
This restaurant is like other restaurants. There are several thick-filled pink heads standing at the front of the door, teasing a few unduly-served military men there, and some sailors from the Xu fleet were also having fun here. Even if Wang Lueh was drinking flower wine, he would definitely have to go to the level-level Qinglou. This kind of thing was not qualified to be a maid in his house, so he naturally frowned.
Yang Chengzu had already pulled him in, and the room was quiet. Only the boss was dozing off on the table, and there were no guests here to visit. The man and woman who had negotiated the price came in and walked behind the counter and would not stay here. It was not until after sitting down that Yang Chengzu whispered: "This hotel was opened by our Yang Ji. It may be safer here than in the military camp. After all, we can't confirm whether anyone hid in the military camp to inform the Folang Jiren."
Wang Yu also knew that there had been a desperate attempt to blow up the gunpowder depot of the government army, but was captured by Yang Chengzu. The man was very decisive and chewed a poison pill as soon as he was caught, and he committed suicide by chewing a poison pill without any trouble. However, since this incident, the defense efforts in the military camp have also increased a lot. It is not possible to confirm how many chess pieces those people have in the army for the time being, so the talks here can be kept confidential.
"Donald Chengzhai, this Yicheng cannot last long. They have no reinforcements outside, and there is almost no food or grass inside." Yang Chengzu whispered important news.
"The reason why this city can hold on is that Xu has transported them a large amount of food and grass before, and there is a tradition of storing grain in the castle. According to the information I have obtained, the storing grain in the castle can support it for half a year. They broke through five times, killed more than 300 people, and saved a lot of food. If no one destroys it, their food will indeed be supported for a long time. However, I have a spy in the city, and my people are also doing what they do."
"The imperial envoy is indeed a clever plan. I admire him. He is actually in Yicheng and has his own eyes and ears. Are these people going to poison Foyi's food and grass?"
"That's true, there is no need to poison all of them, as it is too difficult. Just poisoning them in a few bags of food will be enough to make them dizzy. The pillars that support their beliefs are breaking one after another, and it is not far from the collapse of the entire fortress. I am not trying to destroy Tuen Mun, but I want to make a good business, so the market in Tuen Mun will always be built. I will dispatch two teams of troops to protect the trading order of the market and ensure the safety of merchants, just like the Folang Ji people did. There was a problem in the court in the past, that was, only collect money and do not do things, so everyone was not satisfied with the court. This time, we have to make a good start and let the merchants know that after paying the money, they can be protected and business will be easy to do in the future. So even if the war is over, or if I go back to Beijing, the matter of sea trade will continue. I will ask the court's policies, but local affairs need people like Chengzhai to do it."
Wang Wei was more concerned about the attacks of the castle. Compared with commercial operations, this master of Nietai was obviously more interested in military affairs than in maritime trade. He was thinking about what method should the Buddhists use to deal with the food in the city if they were poisoned.
"In fact, the water is more tense than food. There may not be springs in the Buddha's city. Even if there are, they cannot support so many people. If they poison their water, they really know that they can't hold on."
Seeing Yang Chengzu smiled and said nothing, he realized something and hurriedly apologized with a smile, "It's not that. Everything about this market is subject to the arrangements of the imperial envoy. In short, as long as it is beneficial to the country, I will definitely help you."
In the castle, the soldiers and pirates who were not on duty gathered in the hall, listening to Perez preaching to everyone on the second floor and praying. After the lengthy ceremony was completed, Perez said excitedly:
"Dear brothers in the church, merciful God, bless me, with the great power of the Lord, the weapons of the demons will not be able to harm your bodies. Now, according to the will of God, we need some warriors, with a total of about sixty to eighty. In order to ensure success in the action, I will use the last bottle of holy water, which was issued to me by the Pope himself before I set out. The warriors baptized by the holy water will not be harmed by the weapons of the pagans in this breakthrough. Everything you have done for God will be remembered by God. When you die, your souls will ascend to heaven. Below, all warriors who are willing to seek help and fight against the pagans will take a step forward."
There was silence below, unlike the previous few times, no one took the initiative to fight this time. After five complete failures, even if he took out the holy water, no one was willing to come out and take on this mortal task.
"Fifty gold coins, your reward this time will be fifty gold coins." Several confidants raised their waists and put the box over with difficulty. The box cover was lifted, and the golden light was dazzling. There were a lot of Portuguese gold coins inside. The first few times, as long as you took out thirty gold coins, an experienced warrior was willing to take on the breakthrough task. However, even if you took out fifty gold coins this time, there was still a silence below, a dead silence.
Of course, Perez understood the reason for this silence. Within ten days, all five commandos were destroyed, and even one person could not escape. The soldiers no longer believed in the breakthrough or the so-called blessing of God. Even the most fierce pirates knew that staying in the castle might be waiting to die, but walking out of the castle would undoubtedly die.
"Okay, one hundred...one hundred twenty!... Since the Lord's brothers are unwilling to leave the castle and are willing to fight the barbarians until the last moment in order to protect the glory of God, I decided to respect your choice. Well, let's go back to your own combat position and prepare for rotation as usual."
Suddenly, an inappropriate laughter seemed to ring, the sound was very light and not many people noticed it. But Perez still heard the laughter owner, "Sisters Treti, I think we need to talk, oh, you know, we have some wounded people, and may need your care, come, let's talk."
One by one, one by one, two entered Perez's room. As soon as Treti closed the door, a musket was already pressing on her head. "Listen, my little wild cat, in this castle, I have my eyes and ears. Don't hide any changes from my eyes and ears!"
Perez's facial features were a little distorted, and his eyes were filled with ferocious murderous intent. "You have often left the castle in the last few nights. Did you go to the Ming army? Yes, right? What do you want to do? Is it that I'm leaving me alone? Or have you exchanged me for a good price?"
Treti was not afraid, but spread his hands. "Battleman, take that thing away. If it goes off, I promise someone will smash your head immediately. What am I doing? I am executing the Count's orders. It turns out that I am much better than you, a fool. If you think we will have to wait to be hanged in the future, but now, I have found a way out."
"You have found a way out? You mean, they agreed to the negotiation, right? This must be you, you betrayed me, or you betrayed the Count! You ruined my entire plan! As I thought, they will be bleeding from the heads under the castle. This siege will not last long. Our friends will interrupt the supply of the army. At that time, they will not be able to hold on. But now, you have betrayed our intelligence and put me in an absolutely unfavorable position in the next negotiation! You are a traitor, a cousin who will be betrayed by the man who will be in the cousin of his master!"
Treti looked at Perez with an innocent look on his face, "Oh? You really think so? That's okay, you can shoot, or ask someone to arrest me, and see if you want to see if the castle is lost first, or the count loses patience first."
The room fell silent, and the two of them had a gaze hit each other, not showing weakness to each other, and it was hard to tell the difference in momentum. Perez's arms trembled slightly, while Treti seemed to have never seen the gun at all, with an indifferent expression on his face.
A sudden knock on the door suddenly sounded, and there was also a panic-reporter in the soldiers, "Father, there is an important situation. Can I come in?"
Perez put away his gun in disappointment, and Treti quickly put on the veil. The door opened, and the soldier reported in panic: Five people were poisoned and coma because of drinking the rationed wine. Mobile phone users should visit http://m.piaotian.net
