Before the missionaries' exclamations had dissipated, Zhao Qiang pressed Duncan again. These European bandits disguised as missionaries really disgusted him. He didn't care how much advanced science and technology these Europeans could provide him.
【】 He just wanted to know what these missionaries were doing when they traveled thousands of miles to the Far East. He didn't want to hear those lies about deceiving educated women and children.
"I...we..."
Devil, butcher, hateful Tatar! Duncan cursed Zhao Qiang in the most vicious words in his heart. Boli's death made him extremely angry, and he wanted to strangle this vicious Tatar officer to death. Xu Boli's head shocked him extremely
, for a moment Duncan couldn't speak coherently.
"Damn, squeak, squeak, squeak, my patience is limited!"
Zhao Qiang did not pay attention to the missionaries who were stunned by the death of their companions. He turned around and shouted: "Next!"
"Oh no!"
As the missionaries screamed again, another young priest's head was chopped off. The head of the body was convulsing on the ground, and his handsome face was twisted abnormally on his head like a ball.
"The Emperor will punish you!"
The oldest missionary rushed forward like crazy to beat Zhao Qiang, but he was held down by the young man beside him, and the back of the knife was thrown at him like a rainstorm. The others were dumbfounded, and they couldn't help it.
Imagine that this Tatar officer could treat the emperor's messenger like this. Lord, Lord Almighty, come and save your loyal believers!
God, we are the suffering people, we are the lost lambs!
Zhao Qiang was not moved by the things around him at all. He only looked at Duncan coldly and uttered one word: "Say!"
Zhao Qiang's mentality at this time was very strange. He ordered two people to be killed, but he didn't feel anything was wrong or felt uneasy. Instead, he felt that it was nothing and it was normal.
When did I become so cold-blooded? Maybe times have changed me. Zhao Qiang believes that if Duncan doesn't tell the truth, he will definitely kill all the remaining missionaries!
Duncan was already desperate, but he still had a glimmer of hope and screamed hysterically. He wanted his performance to deceive this hateful Tatar general.
"I said, we are here to spread the gospel of the Emperor! General, please stop killing my companions!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw the other party's back turned, and the two short and cruel words "Kill again!" were heard in his ears. In an instant, Duncan's heart was cold to the core.
Although the missionaries could not understand Zhao Qiang's words, they had to understand his movements and expressions, knowing that he was giving orders to continue killing people.
The deaths of two companions made them realize that this young Tatar officer was by no means a good person. What he said could not be changed even if the emperor came. In this fortress, the devil is the emperor!
When the Tatar soldiers from both sides were about to come again, the missionaries completely collapsed.
"Duncan, tell him, tell this devil quickly, or he will kill us all!"
"Tell him that if we lose our lives, we have nothing!"
"This evil devil, the emperor will punish him, but now, it is more important to save our lives, Duncan, don't hesitate!"
"Bolly and Peter are already dead, do you want us to die with them? It's not worth it for the silver mine. Duncan, we have to go back to Europe and we must not die here!"
The words of his companion made Duncan feel confused and his mind went blank. He went through all kinds of hardships to come to the East from his hometown, and escaped from Japan to this land after narrowly escaping death. He thought that huge wealth would be at his fingertips, but he never expected that the final result would be like this.
I am not reconciled, I am really unwilling, Emperor, why do you treat me like this! Why were you created these Tatars who are more barbaric than the Cossack barbarians, Emperor!
When the Tatar soldier raised his sword again, Duncan's body softened and he collapsed on the ground. He finally couldn't bear it anymore and could no longer bear the death of his companions.
"Stop, General, tell your soldiers to stop. I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!"
"If you tell me earlier, your companion will not die in vain."
Walking up to the strong Duncan, Zhao Qiang looked at him with interest: "Did the Emperor tell you that life is precious? In front of life, fame, fortune and wealth are all vain, you know. You have to remember,
It wasn’t me who killed your companions, it was you who killed them!”
"..."
Devil! Duncan's eyes are filled with the flames of hatred. If the flames of hatred can burn the other party to death, then Duncan would rather be burned by the flames than melt the devil out of hell!
"explain."
Zhao Qiang leaned down slightly, turning a blind eye to Duncan's hatred: "Tell me everything you know."
"call!"
Duncan took a deep breath, called his companions, and then Zhao Qiang, braced himself, and slowly said: "General, to be honest, we are here for the silver mine."
"Silver mine?"
Zhao Qiang's eyes lit up, not hiding his greed at all, and couldn't wait to ask: "Where is it?"
"On the west bank of the Nebu River, there are huge silver mines all over the place. It's just that the Russians built a city there. When we came here, the Russians hadn't discovered it yet. It's a pity."
When Duncan said this, a trace of regret appeared on his face. Seeing this expression, Zhao Qiang despised him for no reason.
Nebu Tide River? What kind of river is this? Why haven’t I heard of it?
The Far East is rich in mineral resources. Zhao Qiang knows this. Zhao Qiang also knows very well what it means to control a silver mine with huge output. He believes that Duncan is telling the truth this time. Without the attraction of wealth, how could they come to this bitter cold
The land comes.
Nerchinsk? It sounds familiar. Could it be Nerchinsk?!
Zhao Qiang had a flash of inspiration and his heart suddenly jumped. He grabbed Duncan and asked, "What is the name of the Russian city?"
Duncan was so out of breath that he lost his voice and said: Erchensk, the Russians just built that city a year ago, and they set up a complete governance structure there."
"Take them down."
Nerchinsk is the Russian name for Nerchinsk. After confirming and understanding, Zhao Qiang waved to Ma Long to take the missionaries away, leaving only Duncan. He also asked Duncan to translate for him and the Russians. As for Nerchinsk,
The Buchu matter needs to be put aside for now.
Thank God, this Tatar devil finally stopped killing people. Duncan breathed a sigh of relief, his life was saved, but his wealth was lost, which made him feel very sad.
Under Zhao Qiang's coercion, Duncan reluctantly acted as an interpreter for him. From the words of the Russian musketeer Captain Warbosky, Zhao Qiang finally understood the reason for their internal strife.
It turned out that after Vorikov died in Songshan Castle, Spanov asked Cooper, the commander in the castle, to avenge his brother. However, Cooper did not take Vorikov's death to heart at all and wanted to avenge him. The new commander
The governor was about to arrive. He had to rush to see the governor and accept his new job arrangement. He had no time to lead his troops to avenge a Cossack barbarian.
But because of Spanov's eagerness for revenge, and in order to appease his Cossack cavalry, Cooper asked Warboski to bring a team of gunmen to go with him, but he repeatedly confessed that he must not fight the Qing people.
It was a tough battle, let alone losing men. Therefore, when Warboski saw that Zhao Qiang and the others were resisting tenaciously and that Spanov had lost most of his men, he did not choose to come forward to help, but chose to retreat.
Spanov's reasons are very good. Although the Qing people only have a dozen warriors who can fight, it is not easy to kill them all. What's more, there are many Qing people and Cossacks in the fort.
The man had been maimed, and with his seventy or eighty gunmen, he was going to capture the Qing stronghold with a thousand people. Warboski thought that it was impossible to do it. He didn't want Cooper to deprive him of the title of captain when he came back.
As for Spanov's anger, Warboski is not worried about it. With his remaining ten or so men, how dare he take action against the captain who commands an entire team of gunmen? What's more, he has the funds.
Cooper's support, to a certain extent, what I did was completely Cooper's instruction!
Spanov knew that he could not deal with Warboski, so he had to hold back his anger and wanted to return to the stronghold to ask Cooper to punish Warboski. Unexpectedly, after returning, Cooper took another person in the fort with him.
Hundreds of musketeers went to see the new governor. He couldn't find anyone who could punish Warboski, and was repeatedly laughed at by the Russian musketeers. Spanov was so angry that he finally decided to find someone after two days of patience.
Warboski settled the score. It was originally just a verbal conflict, but one of the firecrackers accidentally fired the firecracker, so the two sides had an internal fight in the fort. The result of the internal fighting was that the stronghold was occupied by the Qing people.
Everything was figured out. It was a coincidence. Zhao Qiang finally concluded that the matter was a coincidence, or it could be said to be God's will. If he hadn't killed Vorikov, then everything that followed would not have happened. In the end, Hua Bo
Ski told a piece of information that interested Zhao Qiang, that is, the city that Cooper led a hundred fire gunners to was Nerchinsk City.
"Mr. Qian, what should we do with these Rakshasa people?"
Hu Wang still couldn't accept the word "Russian" mentioned by Zhao Qiang and Duncan. The name "Rakshasa" was still the most suitable for these red-haired and green-eyed ghosts. Seeing that the matter was almost done, he asked Zhao Qiang how to deal with these Rakshasa people.
"Kill them all."
Zhao Qiang glanced at Wu'er Leng who was not far away, and told Hu Wang: "Give half of it to the Oroqen people to kill. You can hold the line from behind and make no mistakes."
"I understand, I'll get ready right now."
Hu Wang had no objection. These Rakshasa people should have been killed, and leaving them here was a hidden danger. He immediately went to make arrangements, but stopped after taking two steps and asked Zhao Qiang: "Where are those people?"
Hu Wang was referring to the Cossack cavalry who were imprisoned on the other side. Zhao Qiang thought for a moment: "I have use for these people staying here."
After hearing this, Hu Wang nodded and quickly summoned several of his men to prepare to massacre the Rakshasa Shiyi.
