Chapter 168: Ambush 1
?? Jinhua Arquebus Factory, a handsome-looking young man of the Ming Dynasty climbed over the fence lightly, climbed the window sill of the two-story wooden building of the Jinhua Yijun Arquebus Factory, stretched out his hand and tapped rhythmically on the window lattice a few times, and then heard a squeak, and the window was pushed open.
"Oh, Tian Zhuangshi, you are here, come in, there are soldiers patrolling nearby, don't be discovered by them."
It was François who spoke, and the young man who jumped into the room, if you look closely, you will find that it is Tian Bin, He Jin's former subordinate who escaped twice in Jinhua Mansion.
Tian Bin jumped into the room, and then asked in a low voice, "François, how are things going?" ”
François did not answer his question, but asked, "Did Governor Schroeder really send you to rescue us?" ”
Tian Bin put on an intimate smile, "Your Excellency François, isn't this clear, haven't you seen the letter that Your Excellency the Governor wrote to you?" There is a letter and a secret mark from your Governor, and if you don't believe it, I have nothing to say. ”
He spread out his hands, looking like he couldn't do anything.
François paced anxiously around the room, sighing and looking like he couldn't make a decision.
Tian Bin said coldly: "Your Excellency, it's too late for you to regret it now, I have already arranged it, a force composed of a hundred Portuguese spearmen, a hundred cavalry, a hundred musketeers, and a hundred colonial conqueror cavalry of the Dutch, as well as twenty Dutch snipers, has been ambushed on the mountain road from Jinhua County to here, once Sebastian goes to denounce you, he will inevitably bring someone to you to ask for the guilt, and at that time, with the strength of his two hundred personal guard cavalry, it will definitely be difficult to escape death." ”
François was even more annoyed, and he said anxiously: "Then what should I do?" ”
Tian Bin smiled mysteriously, "You, as soon as Zhang Qiang dies and his personal cavalry dies, the entire territory of the Jinhua Righteous Army will inevitably be in chaos, and the Dutch and Portuguese navies will land off the coast of Taizhou County, first destroy his fleet, and then occupy Taizhou County, all the way north, fight here, and smoothly accept the results of your construction over the past year or so, so many factories, two million people, and countless materials, the Portuguese and Dutch will divide the territory of the Jinhua Righteous Army, don't you have to worry about it?" ”
François was still not at ease, "Even if Zhang Qiang is dead, he still has so many henchmen, they have so many arquebuses every month, and Sebastian has produced hundreds of cannons for them, can you fight them?" ”
Tian Bin smiled: "Why can't you beat it?" The pirate Wu Liuqi's subordinates all surrendered to the Dutch, and this time they also sent troops, and many pirates were bought by the Dutch, and they have become the subjects of the Dutch and the Portuguese.
Coastal Daming, not counting Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Hongkui and other sea giants, scattered pirates gathered together are tens of thousands of people, you think about it, so many pirates, they are familiar with the terrain, and at the same time they are inextricably linked with the people here, they may not be able to confront the regular troops of the Jinhua Righteous Army, but if they are in full bloom, let them be overwhelmed, that ability, that destructive power, but the boss. ”
François shuddered, those pirates, he felt it deeply, he once fought against the Ming Sailors as a Portuguese sailor, he felt that the Great Ming Sailors might not be able to do it, but with those cunning pirates, they outsiders had to retreat.
Though they had inflicted heavy losses on them, their few warships could not defeat the countless pirates who were swarming like locusts and ramming their ships, and now they were going to use this method against their own government, which must have had a headache this time. ”
"What can I do?"
"What else can I do for my country but betray Sebastian as an old friend and use his trust in me to trick the Doge?"
He asked.
Tian Bin said: "Your Excellency the Governor needs you to protect this arquebus factory, as well as those Ming students you taught, so that they can serve Portugal in the future, if the Dutch want to take over, before here, get those people to the grape people's trench mirror." ”
"Well, I'll do it, please send a message to the Governor." François no longer hesitated.
Tian Bin showed a happy look in his eyes, it's done, this time the Portuguese can give himself a relatively high official position and a lot of money.
He glanced at the room, this room is good, and the Governor's Mansion is not bad, the Governor's Mansion definitely doesn't have its own share, and it is okay to be the magistrate of a county seat.
As long as Zhang Qiang is killed and the Jinhua Righteous Army is dismantled, the Portuguese will definitely not manage this place by themselves, they will definitely appoint them as Ming people, oh no, they were already Qing people before, they should be Qing people, just like they occupied Xiangshan, after the entrenchment mirror, many Ming people, and even Ming officials became their officials, and they could do it themselves.
He took one last look at François, then pushed open the window, a harrier rolled over, jumped directly from the second floor to the lawn below the office building, and then quickly lay on the ground, carefully observed, and saw that the Jinhua rebel soldiers who were watching François did not look here, he quickly climbed dozens of steps on the ground, climbed over the fence and disappeared into the arquebus factory.
When he escaped from the heavily guarded arquebus factory, he glanced back at the arquebus factory and sneered: "This little person, this little arrangement, I want to trap me, and I don't look at what my grandfather did back then, who doesn't know the famous grass flying on the rivers and lakes, the famous thief Tian Bin."
The hateful Jinhua Righteous Army, the hateful Ming officers and soldiers, if it weren't for you, Lao Tzu would still be the leader of a battalion of the rebel army, if it weren't for you, Lao Tzu would not have become a mourning dog from the position of the Qing Dynasty general, called Huazi, a year and a half, hard work, and finally let Lao Tzu find someone who appreciates Lao Tzu again, although those are foreign devils, but they also give Lao Tzu money, give Lao Tzu an official position, and Lao Tzu still lives and nourishes.
With such resentment, he sneaked all the way to a valley not far away.
The valley is quiet, passing through a bamboo forest, inside the bamboo forest is a small mountain village, and the pit outside the mountain village is piled up with the corpses of hundreds of villagers.
There were also the bodies of a dozen militiamen stationed in the village, as well as several patrolling rebel soldiers.
Approaching the entrance of the village, he leaned down and whispered two cuckoo calls, echoed a few times from the other side, and then heard the other side shout: "Who is on the other side?" ”
Tian Bin said: "The lurkers are back, my lord." ”
"Come here." Several figures on the opposite side walked out from behind a hillside, led by a Ming man, followed by several tall Portuguese soldiers with high noses, blue eyes, and figures, who were wearing Portuguese gray-brown colonial uniforms.
