Chapter Eighty-Four: Portuguese-speaking Pirates

The Ming army, which was only more than 50 in number, launched an attack on the more than 200 pirates on the opposite side, and the advance team that had been suppressed halfway also joined, and soon rushed into the barn, and the heavy Ming-style Yanling knife and the Western long sword collided together, which was also mixed with the sound of fire.

Although the number of pirates is four times that of the Ming army, they are all ordinary rabble, and it is okay to slaughter civilians, which is far worse than the regular army, plus Fang just witnessed the ball lightning released by Yang Pingfan, thinking that it was God's punishment, and morale had already dropped by half.

Although the number of Ming troops is small, those who can be brought out by Zheng He to the West are elite, you must know that their task is not just as simple as being a coin boy, but also a task to find Emperor Jianwen.

Who is Emperor Jianwen, that is the abolished emperor who was usurped by Yongle, and Bao Buqi has pulled up another force overseas, and at this time, the Ming army around Zheng He needs to come out and reason.

It is because Zheng He's army is small and fine, and there are also former pirate members who followed Chen Zuyi to surrender to Chengcheng, all of whom are fierce and vicious, and they are not fatal in battle.

I saw that they formed a small circular formation, forming a local advantage, and the carefully forged Yanling knife in their hands was not comparable to the various weapons built by those small workshops in the hands of pirates, and the pirates often rushed up with great courage to fight against the Ming army, and then were cut down to the ground by the people with weapons.

The firecrackers who followed behind were desperate to move forward, almost firing the firecrackers at the heads of the strange-looking scum, or spraying them directly at the places where the dregs gathered, and the big heads were blown up like tomatoes, and the red and white were sprinkled on both sides of the face like raindrops.

What's more, there are fierce men full of anger on the side of the Ming army, Chen Zuyi is carrying a mace made of cooked copper, and when he sees a person, he goes down with a stick, his brains and blood fly together, and the sound of bone cracking is the same as the scream.

Yang Pingfan's hand is an ordinary Yanling knife, he has no bells and whistles knife moves, it is a simple two moves, chop and cut, he also injected the current into the knife, played the effect of the electric knife aoe, rushed to the pile of people, a knife to chop down, the fire with lightning, the people next to him also with electric turnover, although Chen Zuyi played domineering, but in terms of killing ability, or Yang Pingfan is more interesting.

To say that pirates are not all rookies, there are so many fierce men who break through the small formation of the Ming army, but often before the next pose is posed, they are killed by Yang Pingfan and Chen Zuyi.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the pirates in the barn were emptied, and only two dozen or so who were lucky not to be injured in a fatal position survived, but they also lay on the ground and couldn't stand up straight, humming and chirping with intake but no breath, which was the result of Su Yu shouting in the back to stay alive.

More than two dozen live people were tied up in a bunch and thrown outside the barn, and the Ming army began to treat their comrades, and some rescued the villagers who were held hostage.

Xi Mani was about to step forward to torture the prisoner with a dagger, but Su Yu grabbed him, "I have useful use for these people, let me finish interrogating them and hand them over to you to deal with at will." ”

Xi Mani looked at Su Yu with burning eyes, suddenly bent her knees, knelt on the ground, kissed Su Yu's upper with her lips, and said something loudly, Li Huamei translated in a low voice next to her: "Supreme fairy, as long as you can make Xi Mani slash the enemy, Xi Mani is your eternal servant, life and death, never betrayed." ”

Su Yu waved her hand to let Sima Ni get out of the way first, stepped forward herself, and carefully looked at these survivors, these people all had beards, light brown hair, high noses and deep blue eyes, typical white European characteristics, she thought about it, and suddenly said a string of words that Yang Pingfan couldn't understand.

Those people originally had the strength to lower their heads, but when they heard Su Yu's words, they all suddenly raised their heads and looked at Su Yu in surprise, Su Yu said a few more words, one of the pirates wearing a cross on his chest, a square pointed hat on his head, and a dirty robe opened his mouth and Su Yu answered, and after a quarter of an hour of muttering between the two sides, Su Yu motioned to Yang Pingfan, Li Huamei, and Xi Mani to leave.

"Why, you know them, and you can talk to them."

"Do you know what language I just spoke?"

"What?"

"Portuguese!"

"Hey, could it be that these scum are also traversers, or are the Portuguese crossing?"

"No, they're Portuguese on this plane. ”

"Tsk, Dr. Su, you can even speak Portuguese more than 600 years ago. ”

"Since the rise of the Age of Discovery, Portugal has not suffered a large-scale invasion and has not been baptized by foreign cultures, so the basic vocabulary and pronunciation have remained unchanged for hundreds of years. ”

"And what did you talk to them about?"

"They said they were on the orders of King Manuel of Portugal to find a way to the East. ”

"This ......"

Yang Pingfan's face changed suddenly, although he was an engineering student, he still had basic historical knowledge, at least he knew that the time when the Europeans arrived in India was definitely after Zheng He went to the West, but he didn't expect that he had only encountered Portuguese pirates when he went to the West for the third time now, and looking at their skillful looting methods, it was obviously not the first day to arrive.

"That's not right, they shouldn't be here at this time. ”

"That's right, according to the normal trajectory, the first group of Europeans who arrived in India by sea and land should have been in 1498 AD, that is, 91 years after our time and space, but now it is so much ahead, according to the space-time interference theory you said before, I guess it was our time and space that caused the disturbance of time and space, Chen Zuyi did not die, and the Europeans also advanced the Age of Discovery, which is not good news. ”

Yang Pingfan was in an irritable mood, this accident was tricky enough, he glanced at the group of half-dead Portuguese, "So, what are these sailing pioneers going to do?"

Although Yang Pingfan used the word pioneer, there was no respect in his tone at all, Su Yu glanced at the surviving pirates, "Do you know who the bearded leader is?"

"Of course I don't know, don't you tell it's Magellan?"

"Of course not, Magellan was a Spaniard, this is a true Portuguese, his name is Vasco da Gama. ”

Hiss, Yang Pingfan gasped, he didn't expect that Da Gama, who was the first to reach the East by sea in history, was actually captured by him, and Zheng He's fleet to the West and the pioneers of the Age of Discovery collided inadvertently.

"Knowing their identities, I ask you, what to do with them?"

"Directly pour them Ganges water, one cup is appetizing, two cups of kidneys are not lost, three cups and five cups are down, to ensure that their little faces, white is red, red is black, black is not slippery, purple is not slippery, blue is watery, green is chirping, powder is not purple, revealing that beautiful ......"
