1227 A night to remember forever
The arrogance and domineering threat of the red-haired devil made all the Ming people angry, especially when there were three bodies of their compatriots lying in front of them.
However, they had guns in their hands, warships behind them, and cannons, and these flesh and blood alone could not stop them at all. And around me, there are old people, children, and women, what can I do?
At this time, Su Minggang was on crutches and immediately greeted him, and behind him, Su Minglun and others were surrounded by him, following his predecessor Jiabidan. Seeing them come forward, many people also followed behind and hugged them.
In the other direction, Cheng Quan's subordinates had already arrived and stabbed over.
When the red-haired devils who rushed over saw it, they immediately raised their guns. In their hands, there were already flintguns and, of course, arquebuses. Standing in several rows automatically, segmented or squatting, or standing, the small leader on the side held a command knife, with a little surprise in his eyes, but more ruthless.
"Stop, stop for me, whoever dares to come over will die!"
Speaking fiercely, Su Minggang and the others finally stopped. In fact, at this time, it is not far from them, and they can speak normally without shouting while standing.
In the distance, more red-haired devils hurriedly lined up, obviously seeing the situation here, they came over for reinforcements. Some of them even turned their guns on the newcomers who had just arrived.
After these days, they also saw that although these pirates were allies with them, they were Ming people after all, and they were all from the same country, and they would help those craftsmen. And these pirates are armed with knives, and the danger level is relatively high.
Facing more and more red-haired devils with loaded guns, Su Minggang turned his head to look at the countless compatriots behind him, and saw their faces, angry, scared, and desperate...... There are any expressions.
He silently turned his head back, looked at the red-haired devil officer in front of him and said, "My lord, we have three compatriots who died, and you killed them yesterday, according to our customs, we just pay tribute to them here." ”
"We still want to live, and the Governor promised us that when we finish our work here, we will be released back to our hometown." Su Minggang said earnestly, "Don't worry, we will definitely do our best to complete the construction of Batavia......
Listening to his soft words, the expressions of these red-haired devils on the other side relaxed, and they listened to Su Minggang continue to say there: "We just want to go home, we don't want to die here." In the past few days, the old man has also seen it and understood what the adults need. You see, that's a good ......."
Speaking of this, he walked a few steps forward on crutches, but Su Mingyan didn't follow, which made those red-haired devils not care, after all, he was just an old man who was dying, and there was nothing to be afraid of.
After Su Minggang approached, he continued to say earnestly: "Don't you need women? Give the old man another day, and the old man can move them, and when the time comes, wash them cleanly and serve the adults, but you also have to pay some money, is this okay? Don't use knives and guns anymore, we don't want to die here! “
The red-haired devils who heard this were a little surprised, and then looked at the three corpses placed in the distance, and they all suddenly realized one by one, and even laughed and said unscrupulously.
"These oriental monkeys are cheap, and they have to die to be soft!"
"It's kind of acquaintance, it's good, it's good, there are a lot of women here, it's finally time to have fun!"
"These oriental monkeys have to kill a few of them from time to time in order to be obedient!"
“……”
The red-haired devil pointed the command knife in his hand at Su Minggang and said: "Old thing, what you say will be counted, and you will be given a day at most, otherwise you won't see the whitewashed woman tomorrow, so I will hang you first!" ”
The red-haired devil made a fuss, and the low-level officers couldn't hold it down at all, and there were many low-level officers who were actually among the people who were making trouble, so Su Minggang proposed this, so they were all satisfied. After all, if they want to come hard, they have also seen the situation in the past few days. And the women deliberately make it dirty, and they also dislike it, and they can wash and serve them first, of course they are happy.
"Don't worry, adults, we only want to live, the old man will definitely convince them, and I will definitely be able to serve you tomorrow!" Su Minggang laughed and hurriedly replied.
The red-haired devil put away the command knife, pointed at Su Minggang and shouted: "Okay, at most tomorrow, we will all work now, no one is allowed to be lazy!" ”
After saying that, he turned around and pointed to them and shouted: "And you, if you forget your allies and dare to stop the will of our Dutch next time, we don't mind having more coolies." ”
"How can it, our boss Liu has repeatedly told us that we must listen to you. We're here to oversee the work, so don't worry. Cheng Quan hurriedly accompanied the smile and completely surrendered to the will of the Dutch.
When the red-haired devil saw it, he was very satisfied, put away his gun, and began to walk back in line, calling friends and talking.
"You can change the taste tomorrow, brothers, don't be polite tomorrow!"
"These oriental monkeys just don't smoke, they must die before they can obey!"
"If I knew that this was the case, I would have killed a few of them in the first place!"
“……”
The crowd of craftsmen, silently watching the situation, were all gloomy. At this moment, the most I feel is sadness and helplessness. There were many women and children who couldn't hold back and cried.
Or when they hear their cries, the red-haired devils will turn around, grinning and pointing, and some even whistle. Their joy was particularly dazzling in the sad atmosphere of the Akito.
Su Minggang stood still, silently watching these red-haired devils walk away, before slowly turning his head, looking at the sad faces, and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, I believe in the old decay, now go to work hard, after dark, the men stay at home, and the old decay has something to explain." Don't worry, I won't let you be wronged tonight, the ancestors and the ancestors are above, Mazu Niangniang is watching, I, Su Minggang, absolutely say what I say. After tonight, if you are not satisfied, the life of the old decay will be compensated to you! ”
Take the oath of the ancestors and Mazu Niangniang, this is a very heavy oath among the Ming people in Nanyang.
"Everyone believe my uncle, after tonight, you will all laugh!" Su Minglun also said loudly, "Now, listen to my uncle, and go to work." We can't die at this time, we have to go home alive! ”
Several other leaders followed suit and said similar things, much to the surprise of the Ming. However, they couldn't figure out what kind of day it would be tonight, and after tonight, they really had a satisfying day to live.
Regardless of whether they believe it or not, life always has to go on, and under the leadership of Su Minglun and others, those who want to go to work have gone to work one after another, and for them, day after day, this is what they do.
Watching the craftsmen disperse, the pirates who heard the words were very curious, and asked Cheng Quandao: "Master, what does this mean?" Is there anything special tonight? ”
Cheng Quan looked at them and said with a heartfelt smile: "Brothers, you follow my brother and me, and my brother will definitely not lose you." After tomorrow, you will be able to be an upright person, and you can return to your hometown openly! ”
When the pirates who were originally scattered around heard this, they suddenly exploded one by one like a 10,000-strong enemy smashed into them, and they surrounded them one after another, and asked nonsense.
"What? Boss, what does this mean? ”
"Master, what's wrong tonight? After tonight, can we really go back to our hometown, or the dignified kind? ”
“……”
These pirates, either don't want to die outside, or miss their relatives at home, if they can return to their hometown openly, it can be said that these down-and-out pirates who fled to the South Seas are the greatest wish.
Cheng Quan understood the mood of his subordinates very well at this time, so he pressed his hands and said, "I don't know what will happen tonight yet." But you have to trust my brother and me, and you will know by the evening. If you don't do it, you can still return home! As for now, what should I do, I still want to go, everything will be known in the evening. ”
Seeing him say this, his subordinates had no choice but to go to work as overseers first.
After such a fuss in the early morning, whether it is the craftsmen, the pirates, or the red-haired devils, they all have their own thoughts and are full of expectations for the future.
For the red-haired devils, it's very simple, and they are all looking forward to being cool tomorrow.
And for the craftsmen and their relatives, they are all in fear and expectation, thinking of Mazu Niangniang in their hearts, hoping that in the evening, tomorrow, they can really have another way to live as Su Minggang promised.
As for the pirates, they believed in their masters, and one by one they guessed in their minds what would happen at night, and the most important thing was that they wished it would get dark soon.
At least at this stage, the sun, moon and stars are not transferred by human will, and they are running as they should be, and this day is finally slowly darkening.
The craftsmen, tired from a day's work, dragged their tired bodies back to their residences. And Cheng Quan, watching the sunset, also became excited, and immediately ordered: "Brothers, take the guys, follow me!" ”
When the pirates heard this, they were very curious, and they didn't know what the boss was trying to do.
Is that what happened tonight? But what good can happen in Batavia? Robbing those artisans? It seems impossible, robbing those red-haired devils, that's even more impossible!
So, in a daze, they all entered the artisans' dwellings, and walked all the way inside. And the craftsmen who went home didn't know why they saw these pirates passing by with their guys, but the dazzling knives and guns made them a little nervous.
Even the most stupid people understand that tonight is definitely not an ordinary night!
Cheng Quan arrived at the door of Su Minggang's house, let his subordinates guard at the door, and just brought a few leaders into the courtyard together.
At this time, there were already several people in the courtyard, and it was Su Ming who was talking about them.
Su Minggang seemed to be extremely excited at this time, and he looked a lot younger. In fact, he is actually not looking old on the outside, but the years of suffering make people easy to get old.
When he saw Cheng Quan coming over, he said excitedly: "The person has arrived, Cheng is in charge, you and Minglun will go and pick it up." ”
As soon as I heard it, I immediately perked up, and said in a loud voice: "Good, good, good!" ”
Where the Ming people lived, there were no lights at all. When it gets dark, you can only use natural light. Fortunately, it was a full moon night, and under the bright moonlight, although I couldn't see the distance clearly, I could make out the closer places.
As a local snake, Su Minglun is naturally familiar with the road, and his steps are brisk, so he feels that he wants to run and lead the way in front. Cheng Quan followed him, took a few brothers, and the others stayed over there to listen to Su Minggang's dispatch.
This night is a special night, and after this night, the red-haired devil is about to come to plague women. No one can sleep on a night like this. The family may sit in the house and weep opposite each other, or the woman in the house and the man in the doorway, expecting a miraculous birth.
They remembered that Su Minggang had said that there would be something tonight. However, they saw that Su Minglun took Cheng Dangjia and others in a hurry, and did not find them, which made them a little surprised. Although they felt it, Su Ming said that they must be doing something. However, they couldn't figure out what Su Ming would do to change their fate and make them satisfied tomorrow.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and I don't know how long it has been, but the people who are waiting for each other have not waited for any movement, and as time goes by, they are slowly despairing. If it goes on like this, when the day dawns, how can fate change?
At this time, they suddenly heard movement, and the footsteps of many people, although they were very gentle, there were too many footsteps, and the sound of gathering was not small.
The people who were close turned their heads to look at the place where the sound came from, but they saw a long group of people walking quickly towards the place of residence, and the person in front whispered: "Don't make a sound, the man is waiting at home, and there will be a notice soon!" “
Listening to the voice, they can hear it, it is the voice of Su Ming, and they are all familiar with it.
This is nothing, but when they saw Su Minglun's back, all of a sudden, they were all stupid as if they had seen a flying immortal outside the sky. No one dared to believe it, rubbing their eyes and looking at it again, it was still the same as what they saw before, slapping themselves twice, it hurt, although it was dark, it was not a dream!
It wasn't until the procession passed in front of them, watching one by one pass that they confirmed. At this time, they understood why Su Minggang would say something like that.
Some of them knelt down at the door, opened their arms, and greeted them silently; And some people, as if crazy, turned around and rushed into the house, the excitement in their hearts could not be suppressed, and they desperately lowered their voices and said to their relatives: "The imperial army is coming...... Come to our rescue! ”
