Chapter 742, Occupation of the Island of Ceylon
In the royal palace of the Koti Kingdom, there was a violent clash between the later Tamils and the army of the three princes who arrived first, and the shouts of killing in the palace were deafening, and the corpses were scattered all over the field, and the blood flowed like rivers.
It was a feud, coupled with the Tamils killing in the city of Galle, which made the Sinhalese people extremely angry, and with the death of Vero, the other Sinhalese also pledged their allegiance to the third prince and began to expel the Tamils.
The killing between the two sides is inseparable.
The Tamils wanted to storm the palace and rob the wealth, while the army of the Three Princes wanted to kill the Tamils to avenge their hatred.
"It's very lively inside~"
Hu Xian, who had been watching the play outside, laughed, and he easily solved the three forces without wasting a single soldier.
No matter who wins in the end, it will be the loser in the end, because the fisherman is still patiently waiting.
"Besiege the city of Galle~"
After calculating the time and looking at the sun hanging high in the sky, Hu Xian smiled and gave an order.
He was not prepared to let go of all the Tamils and Sinhalese in the city of Galle, and swept away these people in one fell swoop, and the remaining Tamils and Sinhalese on the island of Ceylon would not be concerned at all, and the whole island of Ceylon would fall into the hands of their Western United Trading Houses.
The army began to move, first quickly clearing the small number of men and horses left outside the city by the Tamils and the army of the Three Princes, and then surrounded the city of Galle, and the army marched into the city of Galle.
As soon as they entered the city of Galle, the army killed everyone they saw, regardless of whether you were Tamil or Sinhalese, and they all killed them, and they did not intend to leave any alive at all, and even if they did, they had to be loaded on ships and transported to the plantations in the South Seas.
In the royal palace of the Koti Kingdom, the three princes are still inseparable from Zheluo, neither of them is convinced of each other, and neither of them is willing to give up the wealth in the palace to the other.
As for the deuce, this is simply not possible.
For the third prince, the wealth of this Koti kingdom originally belonged to them, how could it be shared equally with the barbarian Tamils?
For the Tamils, this is the opportunity for revenge they have always dreamed of, and how can they easily let go of the opportunity to make a fortune.
"Kill!"
Jerro was covered in blood, the knife in his hand had been turned over, and his eyes had been red for a day and a night, and he couldn't remember how many Sinhalese he had killed.
This battle was so cool, he would definitely become a Tamil hero when he returned, he successfully led the Tamil army into the city of Galle, and killed the Sinhalese people to avenge the Tamils.
With Jerro's order, the Tamils around him rushed to the palace again, trying to kill them, but the army of the three princes in the palace was also sworn to defend their last dignity.
In the entire city of Galle, the army of the three princes and the Tamil army were constantly fighting in each street and house.
"Oh no~ Oh no!"
At this moment, someone hurried to Jerro's side and shouted with fear on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Jerro glared at the other party fiercely and asked sharply.
"The Ming people are coming in, the Ming people are coming in."
The other party said anxiously.
"I knew that the Ming people would come to pick up the cheap, they came, and there was nothing to do with us, everyone hurry up and rush in to rob the treasure inside."
As soon as Zheluo heard that the Ming people had come in, he couldn't help but curse and scold, and the Ming people would come to pick up the bargain at the end.
"Boss~Boss~"
"The Ming people even killed us~"
The person who came cried and said that at this time, you are still thinking about that treasure, and you may even lose your life now.
"What?"
"The Ming people even killed our people?"
When Zheluo heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then a little incredulous.
However, before his men could answer, there was a neat sound of orders nearby.
"First batch, aim ~ fire!"
"Bang~Bang~"
Accompanied by the dense gunfire like fried beans, a wail rang out all around.
Soon, a group of neat queues, and the Ming people with neat steps arrived at the gate of the palace.
"I'm Jerro, I'm Jerro~"
"I want to see your leader~"
Jerro looked at the Tamils lying in a pool of blood, and then looked at the barrels and arrows of the guns aimed at him, and immediately couldn't help but shout in horror.
His whole person seemed to wake up all of a sudden, the Ming people worked hard to attack Galle City, how could they be so cheap?
Soon, Hu Xian came to the gate of the palace, and when he saw Hu Xian, Zheluo shouted excitedly: "Mr. Hu, why do you even kill us Tamils?" ”
"Haha, why did you say you were killed?"
When Hu Xian heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
"After killing you all, how can we Ming people rule the island of Ceylon?"
"What?"
"You don't mean you don't have any ambitions for Ceylon?"
"You don't mean that you are just trying to get out of your own business, just to get the gems and spices of Ceylon?"
When Zheluo heard this, he immediately asked one after another in disbelief.
At the beginning, Hu Xian not only gave him an empty promise, but also told him that the Ming Dynasty was rich and vast, and he couldn't look down on a barbarian land like Ceylon at all.
It was far away from the Ming Dynasty, and it was inconvenient to travel to and from here, and they were just here to do business, this time to teach the Sinhalese, and to gain the right to trade on the island of Ceylon.
The Ming promised him that when the Koti were defeated, the Ming would support the Tamils in taking possession of the northern part of the island of Ceylon and the Sinhalese share of Ceylon, and that both the Tamils and the Sinhalese would be able to trade with the Ming and sell them precious stones and spices.
But now, Hu Xian actually wants to kill them all, and he wants to rule the entire island of Ceylon, now he is dumbfounded, he can't believe it, the promises given to him by the Ming people are all fake.
I worked hard to attack the city of Galle here, and finally fought to the death with the Sinhalese, and finally all of them were cheaper than the Ming people.
Thinking of this, Jerro was furious.
"You Ming people don't count?"
"You promised me that if you win, you would support us Tamils to occupy half of Ceylon?"
Zheluo shouted to Hu Xian with red eyes.
"Haha, did I promise you?"
"Do you have any proof?"
"Do we have an agreement in black and white?"
Hu Xian smiled, he lied to them from the beginning, that is, he wanted to use them and let them kill each other, so that he could cheapen himself.
"Haha~ Kill them!"
Hu Xian laughed happily, it was so simple and easy to occupy the island of Ceylon, such a large island, it is still the way of gemstones, and the output of gold and silver, and the output of spices.
The key is that it is still in the important position of the Western route, and with this as a springboard, there is a lot to be done in the future, and the shareholders of the Western United Commercial Bank will be happy to take this Ceylon Island.
"Bang~Bang~"
As Hu Xian's words fell, dense gunshots rang out, billowing white smoke rose, and several blood holes appeared on Zheluo's body at once.
Like the wind and clouds, the autumn wind swept away the leaves, and the Tamils outside the palace were no match for the Ming army at all, and they were quickly killed and retreated to other parts of the city.
"Blow up the palace gates~"
When I came to the gate of the palace, several explosive bags were piled up, and with a loud bang, the gate of the palace was blown apart, and the Ming army poured into the palace like a tide.
A palace with extremely luxurious decoration, resplendent gold, and full of superb gems, the Ming army surrounded the three princes here.
"Mr. Hu, why do you want to do this?"
Raigamo looked at the Ming army outside, he remembered Wei Luo's words, he looked at Hu Xian, and couldn't help but say angrily.
"For only by killing you can we rule the island of Ceylon."
"I'm sorry~"
Hu Xian's old face was slightly red and said.
For the Tamils, they were promised to occupy the northern part of the island of Ceylon, and for the Three Princes, they were promised to help them defeat Vero, so that they could regain the throne of the Koti Kingdom and unify the Sinhalese.
Of course, these are empty promises, and they are just promises to lure them into sending troops.
Now they don't have any use value, kill them all, and then set up the blame again, and tell the Tamils that the Sinhalese have killed all your people, so you have to go to the Sinhalese to take revenge.
When you say to the Sinhalese that the Tamils have killed all of your people, you want to seek revenge on them, always to provoke their hatred, to make them fight each other, and finally gradually complete the control of the whole island of Ceylon.
"You Ming people are treacherous, and there will definitely be no good end."
When Raigama heard this, he immediately shouted angrily.
"Haha, treachery?"
"I haven't signed any agreement with you, even if you make up for your treachery, as for whether it will end well, you will definitely not see."
Hu Xian laughed, and with a wave of his hand, muskets, bows and arrows beckoned to the palace, and they quickly killed them.
In the city of Galle, the Ming army swept one by one, constantly cleaning up the Tamils and Sinhalese in the city.
The Sinhalese and Tamils, who had already fought for a day and a night, had already suffered heavy casualties and were exhausted, were no match for the Ming army at all, plus there was a huge gap in equipment.
In less than two hours, the Tamils and Sinhalese in the city were basically wiped out, and the entire city of Galle fell into the hands of the Western United Trading House.
After conquering the city of Galle and inflicting heavy losses on all three forces, the United Western Merchant House began to act quickly again, constantly sending people to various parts of the island of Ceylon to sow discord, and at the same time began to take over the entire island of Ceylon, declaring that it had the right to rule over the island of Ceylon, and all Tamils and Sinhalese on the island of Ceylon were under the jurisdiction of the United Western Merchant House.
