The fence of Ho Ho Jing O has long been demolished. At the official road leading to Ho Kiang O, locals can often see a few missionaries wandering there.

If it were the same as before, others might not know what they were doing? But now, after the county magistrate of Xiangshan County escorted two Francophone people over, they already knew what was going on. And the demolition of the wall also represents the attitude of the Franco.

In this way, it is easy to understand that the people of the Buddha are waiting for the verdict of the Ming Emperor. And Li mainly has a good relationship with Daming, and these missionaries who want to stay in Daming are even more worried about the outcome of this sentence!

There is a saying that is really true, waiting is the most torturous!

During this waiting time, the atmosphere on the side of Ho Kiang O was obviously a little heavier. For the Franco-Robot people who have lived here for a long time, they definitely don't want to leave. Only the newly arrived Governor of Macao, Du Chen, obviously looked a little indifferent, and if it weren't for the Macau Council and the missionaries uniting to force him, he would not even agree to tear down the wall.

However, based on his attitude, during this waiting time, Johnson and other people from the Macau Council, as well as missionaries such as John Tong, took turns to tell him about the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, the benefits of friendship with the Ming Dynasty, and what would happen if he offended the Ming Dynasty. Even in the end, they vaguely threatened him that if he dared to mess things up, his responsibility would definitely make him go back to prison.

Later, Du Chen couldn't resist this pressure, not only agreed to the demolition of the wall of Haojingao, but also worried about how the Ming Emperor would pronounce the sentence.

On this day, Johnson saw John Tang looking at the intersection again, so he sighed and walked over and said to John Tang: "The Ming Empire is too large, and there is no reply so quickly." Moreover, the Ming Emperor is now driving to Dongwu's side, so it will be delayed until next year. ”

Tang Ruowang listened and nodded.

Donggo is a country after all, and it is also considered powerful. In the past, Portugal wanted to colonize that country, but they were driven out of Dongwu, not to mention, and even the governor was hanged by the king of Dongwu. The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom has never been to the south, let alone Dongwu, whether he can conquer Dongwu is a question, and he has no time to take care of Haojingao, right?

Although thinking so, John Tong still said to Johnson: "It's okay anyway, it's all the same there." Anyway, the scenery is nice, isn't it? ”

Johnson listened, looked around, and really didn't think that there was anything good about the place he was used to. He was about to answer, but he heard Tang Ruowang say to him again: "You sent someone to inquire about the news in Guangzhou City before, but I don't know when you will come back?" ”

Missionaries were forbidden to leave Ho Kyong O, but ordinary Franco-Rang people were not allowed to do so. There are even some Ming people who are hired by these Francophone people to do things for them. Therefore, Johnson has the ability to send people to inquire about the news.

At this time, after listening to John Tong's question, Johnson thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid there won't be news in a short time." I explained that if the reply of the Ming Emperor arrives, I will come back in advance to report the news. We're more or less prepared, right? ”

As he was saying this, he saw a fast horse galloping at the end of the official road.

From this official road, you can only go to Ho Jing O, and further on, it is the sea. Generally speaking, there will never be a fast horse galloping. is in such a hurry to come back, it must be the person who went to Guangzhou City to inquire about the news has returned.

When he got this conclusion, he was taken aback, and a question flashed through his mind: How can it be so fast? In terms of time, shouldn't it?

John Tang also heard the sound of horses' hooves, and when he turned his head to look, he didn't move, just kept drawing a cross on his chest.

The sound of horses' hooves also alarmed the people in Haojing Ao, and many people rushed out to see the situation. Even Du Chen ran out to see the situation.

By the time he came out, the knight was already very close to Ho Jing O. It was none other than the Akito sent out by Johnson. A wise man who knows the language of the Franc machine.

Everyone saw it clearly, and this person's face was full of shock. This makes John Tong, Johnson and others unable to distinguish at all, is it good news or bad news that they brought back?

When the horse arrived at the intersection, it was stopped by the Ming people, and he screamed in pain.

But the Ming man didn't care at all, immediately turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly to Johnson, but before he could speak, Tang Ruowang on the side couldn't wait, and hurriedly asked, "Is there any news of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom?" ”

When the Ming man heard this, he turned his head to look at John Tang, and just nodded, but before he could answer, he heard Johnson ask anxiously: "What should we do with our side of Haojingao?" ”

The Ming man was a little speechless when he heard it, but he finally understood that Johnson was his patron, so he turned his head again, looked at Johnson and replied: "It's just that there is news from the emperor, but I don't know the emperor's will for Hao Jing'ao yet." ”

As soon as they heard this, all those who were concerned with their hearts invariably breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they were a little curious about what news about the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom made him anxious like this, and they were shocked.

Du Chen, in particular, was even more malicious, so he asked: "Could it be that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom conquered Dongwu, suffered a big defeat, and was mobilizing troops everywhere, or was he surrounded by Dongwu's army or ......?"

Anyway, in the land of the Ming Dynasty, there are many Ming people around. Du Chen was not mentally retarded enough to say directly, was your emperor killed by the Dongwu people? But although he didn't say it, the meaning was actually obvious.

Before, of course, they also inquired, and knew that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom had a total of about 30,000 troops to go to conquer Dongwu. Du Chen's guess also has a certain reason. After all, I think that back then, even the governor of Portugal was hanged by King Dongwu.

At this time, the people around him were all taken aback when they heard what he said. After coming back to his senses, the reaction was mixed.

The Ming people in this are all worried expressions. After all, today's emperors love the people like sons, even if they don't have much benefit here, they have always heard of the situation. As far as they are concerned, they definitely don't want the emperor to have an accident.

And those Franc machine people showed a gloating demeanor one by one. You're going to embarrass us, okay?

Although they had different ideas in their hearts, they all looked at the messenger and waited for his answer.

After hearing this, the wise man who had only listened to this news unexpectedly showed a look of disdain towards the governor of Macao, which had never been done before. Then, I saw this Ming man turn his head to look at Johnson, and said loudly in a proud tone: "The emperor defeated King Dongwu a month ago!" In the first battle of Ava, an army of 30,000 defeated 300,000 Dongwu troops in one fell swoop, and the king of Dongwu was shot on the spot, and the captured Dongwu soldiers exceeded 200,000. Now there is no Dongwu country, I am Ming, there is one more Dongwu province! ”

Du Chen was originally furious at the disdain that this hired man had for him, and when he was about to be angry, he heard his next words, and suddenly, all the rage disappeared without a trace, and in his place, he was shocked.

Not only him, but everyone else, such as John Tong and Johnson, were all the same, and there was nothing but shock.

If these southerners, or the Portuguese, did not have a personal understanding of how powerful the northern captives were, then the strength of the cave was felt at the cost of a governor. And because Dongwu is on their way to the Far East, they have been paying attention to Dongwu's situation.

They knew that the cave of today, after the recuperation of their king, was much more powerful than the cave of the time when they were defeated.

But even so, it was defeated by the Ming Emperor in a very short time and with very few troops? It's just a province of Daming?

According to this calculation, the European countries are estimated to be the size of the province of the Ming Dynasty! And now, how much has Daming saved?

Du Chen was the first to come back to his senses, he didn't believe it at all, so he was the first to question loudly: "You Oriental, your emperor's record must be exaggerated, otherwise, this is impossible!" ”

That's right, the Ming people who reported the news did not exactly match the truth in what they said, at least in terms of the number of Dongwu's army, it was different from the reality. But if there is a discrepancy, it will not be much worse. And it's not that he's exaggerating, it's that he's hearing the news, and he's just relaying it.

At this time, when he heard Du Chen questioning him, he saw that he did not have the respect he had for these customers at all, and immediately blushed his neck and said loudly: "I am not exaggerating, this is the news that was bought from the yamen of Guangzhou Mansion with silver." If you really want to think it's an exaggeration, you can go to Guangzhou City to listen to it yourself, that's called an exaggeration! ”

The other onlookers were also quite excited at this time, and they didn't care about the reactions of these Franc people, and some people excitedly asked: "Tell me quickly, what other rumors are there?" ”

The strength of one's own country, even if there is no concept of a country and a nation at this time, there is a natural joy.

When the Ming man who reported the news heard it, he did not refuse, and said excitedly: "Now it is rumored in the city of Guangzhou that the emperor has appointed a classic history, and in front of the two armies, one by one, he shot the war elephants of Dongwu. Do war elephants know? It is several times larger than an ox, and its skin is harder than iron. But what's the use of that? I tell you, it's like a magic arrow, and if you don't shoot anywhere else, you shoot the eye sockets of war elephants......"

Listening to these Mingren talking excitedly, all the Portuguese people were a little ugly, and they couldn't speak.
