Chapter 890 Military Secrets
A large number of troops patrol back and forth on the streets of Manila, and they are trying to restore safety and order in Manila as quickly as possible.
In order to prevent chaos from happening, Zhu Cihong ordered martial law to be imposed in the whole city, and no Chinese or indigenous people were allowed to go out for two days, and food was provided by the army on time!
In particular, the missionaries of the Catholic Augustinian Church received 'special' attention from the Ming army.
The Spanish ruled the Philippines for nearly 100 years, and through these missionaries, they had a huge impact on the lives of the locals, and their influence was even greater than that of the Spanish colonial army.
Outside Manila, the unconscious Archbishop Akenia finally came to his senses.
He was surprised to find himself in a pile of dead people, surrounded by a fire, much like purgatory described in the Bible.
"Why didn't I return to the arms of the Lord?"
Arkenia muttered, her face full of sorrow, and she thought she had gone to purgatory when she died.
As an archbishop, I have helped countless people pray and ascend to heaven, how can it still end up like this?
Could it be that the lack of virtue that I usually do has been known to the Lord?
"Hey, there's another one here who is playing dead!"
An exclamation came from not far away, startling Akenya, the other party was actually a soldier wearing the uniform of the Ming army!
"I'm not dead?"
Akenia was surprised and delighted, and almost danced.
I only heard the Ming soldiers on the opposite side shouting: "Hey, the other side, is it a person or a ghost?" Respond! ”
Arkenia asked rhetorically in a half-oceanic, half-Chinese language: "I am the Augustinian Archbishop of Manila, who are you heretical?" ”
These missionaries in Luzon have long been in charge of the local faith, and they always like to talk about infidels, and during the Chinese Exclusion Massacre, Arconia instigated the natives to loot and besiege the Chinese, under the banner of exterminating the infidels.
"Lao Tzu is your father!"
The soldier came up and, without saying a word, came up and gave him a heavy butt.
The foreign monk was a little stiff, he shrunk his neck and said: "Manila is a place where the gospel of the Lord has been received, you heretics dare to attack here......"
The Ming soldier laughed a few times in surprise and gave him a few more heavy butts.
"O Lord Almighty, please bring calamity upon the infidels and save your faithful Lamb......."
"Shout, keep shouting to Lao Tzu! Let your master pester me, and see that Lao Tzu will turn him over day by day! ”
The butts of the Ming soldiers were heavier and heavier, and they were unceremonious, and the more they smashed, the more excited they became.
Clearly, not only did the Lord not come, but Aconia was beaten to the ground.
He finally became honest, holding his head and trembling and muttering, "You heretics, there will be no good results!" ”
At this moment, Akenia seems to be ruthless after admitting it.
The soldier took out a grenade from his purse and shouted, "Call Lao Tzu to give you some more!" ”
In an instant, Akenya's cold hair exploded, and he almost went out of his body.
This thing left a big impression on him, and when the Ming army attacked the city, it repeatedly hit the city wall that was only five meters high, killing many Spanish soldiers, and even Aknia's nephew was blown up on the spot.
He took a few steps back and said nervously: "This military master, the Lord is merciful and forgiving, he will not bring punishment to the innocent, just like you, you are all good people, you only have the gospel above your heads, and there is no calamity......."
The soldier smiled meaningfully and took him back into the city.
On the other side, the Ming army camp next to the governor's palace.
Anthony took advantage of Zhu Cihong and the generals to discuss in the governor's palace, and quietly came to the barracks, wanting to continue to explore the secrets of the Ming army.
After squatting for a long time, it was not easy for him to catch the target, so he slipped to the side of an artilleryman who came out to do errands, and asked with a smile in Chinese: "Can you tell me how far is the range of your Dongfeng rocket?" ”
The artilleryman looked at him in amazement and did not speak.
Anthony smiled meaningfully, and in line with his understanding of the Chinese, he quietly stuffed a small gold nugget to the artillerymen.
More than ten years ago, the diplomats of Honglu Temple in the Ming Dynasty often stuffed gold for him, and they were all counted by the box.
In return, Anthony also stole a lot of drawings of Dutch warships to the Ming Dynasty.
The development of the Ming Navy should also be regarded as a military merit medal for him.
The artilleryman looked left and right, and took the gold ingot like a thief.
The smile on Anthony's face was even worse, and sure enough, the old Chinese saying is true, money makes ghosts pee.
Since ghosts can pee, the living can definitely open their mouths too......
However, I saw the artilleryman smile at him and said, "I'm sorry, this is a military secret, I can't answer you." ”
Anthony was dumbfounded, and pointed at the artilleryman in a daze: "You don't say what to do with my gold?" ”
The artilleryman replied with a smile: "Of course I have to accept what you gave me, today is my birthday, thank you for the gift from Lord Yang!" ”
Anthony reprimanded: "What is your birthday, you are obviously taking money and not doing anything!" It is an act of dishonorability! ”
Because of his excitement, Anthony almost broke his voice, obviously angry at the artilleryman's unruly behavior!
The artilleryman was unhappy, frowned and said, "You are unreasonable, but for the sake of the face you gave me a gift, I will tell you a little." ”
Anthony was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Friend, you say!" ”
The artilleryman said: "Our Dongfeng rockets have a long range......"
Anthony's face sank suddenly, it's really a, here again!
But the artilleryman's next words gave him hope again.
I only heard the artilleryman secretly say: "Let me tell you the truth, most of the Dongfeng rockets used by our army in this battle are of the first generation, and there are a small number of second-generation ......."
"Oh?"
Hearing the revelations, Anthony immediately became energetic, and couldn't help but lean up and ask: "How many generations of this rocket are there in your army?" ”
The artilleryman pondered for a moment, and said mysteriously: "I heard it above, it seems that it has been developed for several generations." ”
"What about range? How far is their range? Is it further than this one today? ”
Anthony was nervous and couldn't wait to learn more about Ming's military secrets.
The artillery said: "The range is naturally farther than today's, I heard that the latest generation of Dongfeng rockets developed by the Military Research Institute is three feet high!" Can fight from our Ming Dynasty to the South Seas! ”
"Oh my gosh, this is shocking, is what you said true or false?"
Anthony was obviously stunned, he could fight from Daming to Nanyang, what kind of flying firearm is this?
The artilleryman said seriously: "Really, I'm going to lie to you that you're a second dog!" ”
Anthony will be suspicious, the dog is a lowly thing in the eyes of the Chinese, and the artilleryman in front of him, who looks like a talent, will not be so cheap......
In line with the trust in the Ming soldiers, Anthony gradually believed.
When he had left with the 'big secret', the artilleryman cushioned the gold in his hand and smiled with satisfaction.
Not far away, several Ming soldiers ran over, and one of them shouted with a smile: "Liu Ergouzi, are you fooling people again?" ”
The artilleryman named Liu Ergouzi stuffed the gold nugget into his arms and said with a smile: "No, it's just to make some extra money, please drink tonight!" ”
Liu Ergouzi naturally didn't admit to deceiving people, after all, launching a Dongfeng rocket from the coast of Hainan could indeed hit the sea in the South Sea.......
