Section 246 Foreign mercenaries (1)
The bandit nation, that's what I call the barbarian countries that have invaded our country, but when we look back and think about why we were invaded, aren't we weak! If we are strong, if history does not have ifs, but there are empty ones.
Captain Holliman walked to the front of the line with a shovel on his face, as an officer, he had never sat down with the ten soldiers to eat, and he never expected that he would walk at the front of the line with a shovel, and his best wig was gone, in such weather, especially when he was bareheaded. Of course, if you put these aside, he is still full of admiration for the city.
Yes, he admired the Orientals here. The huge city is very beautiful, and the neat and soothing avenues are planted with unknown flowers that are unique to the Orient and exude a faint fragrance. It is worth mentioning that these roads are made of something and appear to be very hard and smooth. Beside the wide roadway are elegant two- or three-story buildings made of unknown materials, all hidden among clumps of flowers and trees.
There was no sign of the animal-powered vehicles that would cause the smell of the city, except for rickshaws, and it was a relief to look at them on the days of going to the court.
In particular, there will be courts here, which marks the level of civilization, and they do not use the code called the "Great Ming Law", which is common to the whole continent, what kind of "Shenzhou Law" they use, but fortunately, there are also people called lawyers, who are defending them, which makes Captain Hormanta quite happy, but the final verdict makes him very difficult to accept, because in this battle, they will be sentenced to serve six years of hard labor in a "bald team". And during these six years, they will be deprived of all human rights, and to put it bluntly, they will not be human beings from the day the sentence is pronounced.
What infuriated Captain Holliman the most was that the people who managed the prisoners here did not treat him as an officer or as a prisoner of war, as if they were not human at all.
For this reason, he once mentioned that he was an officer, he should eat meals specially prepared for officers, he should have a messenger, there should be too many things, but the person called "platoon commander" just said to him very harshly, and through the translator who understood Chinese on the ship, he knew that the platoon commander said: "See, there is a wall, if you don't want to live, you will go and die, here I am the officer, you are not!" ”
Captain Holliman roared, his blue eyes revealing a wave of rage, "This is simply an insult to the officers, these barbarians of the East. ”
"Don't ...... Don't scream, Captain, I heard that our team is not the worst, those bald heads over there are Fuso, and they may only pay for His Excellency the Governor here, oh, they are the price of two cows for His Excellency. ”
"How can I only be worth the price of two cows, my family is rich, I can ask my family to pay for me back." Captain Holliman was in a hurry, he didn't want to die in the far east, and at this moment he began to miss the Netherlands strongly.
"Your Excellency, I advise you to be patient, they don't want money, I heard that it is good enough for us now, because the fleet you led has made the lover of His Excellency the lord of the city here disappear during the battle......" The interpreter's yellow eyes showed a look of fear, for he found that the guards here were paying attention to them.
"Shut up, you two." The armoured soldier on the side gave a fierce expression.
"Yes, yes, yes," the little man shut.
"Lizheng," said the first platoon.
All the Dutchmen had been accustomed to hearing this kind of command for the past two months, and they stood up straight as if they were reflexively.
Captain Holliman's gaze fell on the two Orientals who were saluted by all the soldiers guarding here, one of them was thin, but his eyes flashed with a strange feeling, as if two sharp swords could easily pierce a man's heart. Captain Hormanta's eyes flashed at the other man next to him as soon as he made a touch.
Among the Orientals, he was of medium height, and his whole body was covered by green armor, showing a very imposing appearance.
"Bring him in," he pointed to himself, and immediately two soldiers came to take his arm with fierce expressions, and pulled him into the room over there, and they must have pinched their veins, or they would not have gone sore. (Hehe, take your acupuncture points, it's strange if it's not sour and soft)
"What are you going to do, let me go...... Let go of me......" The crew and soldiers just watched with pity as their commander was pulled into the room over there, and not a single one of them made any movement at the captain's call, knowing that the guards here had never treated their shaved prisoners for human beings, and that they would lose their lives at any moment at the slightest mistake.
In the interrogation room of the small room, there were only the two officers, their guards in black combat armor, and the interpreter who came with him from Taiwan.
The atmosphere was extremely dreary for a moment, and as the commander of the fleet, Holliman did not know if his attack on them would cause the city lord to kill him, and his body trembled. However, the commander of the fleet was not only a soldier in a certain sense, but also a politician for a while in this era.
"Are you scared?"
Holliman didn't know what rank they were, but the rank of their guards should not be low, and the higher the officer, the more human as the lower. Holliman had a smile on his face, but it was a little funny against the bald head. "Why should I be afraid, it is not my shame that I fell at the hands of cunning pirates, on the contrary, it is just a testament to your barbarism and ignorance, and when our Dutch fleet comes, you will know the power of civilization."
Yue Xiaofei didn't understand Dutch, and when he heard the captain roar, he seemed to be very excited. He said to the interpreter, "You tell him to cooperate with us,"
The interpreter does not translate the captain's words first, he has his own ideas. First of all, he had to test whether these people could understand Dutch, so he added some of his own words when translating, planning to see Yue Xiaofei's reaction.
"Your Excellency, I advise you to cooperate with them, if you don't, they will kill you!"
