1309 debut
The building was empty, and only a few Ming women were left to clean up the mess. A few of them looked at each other, they all had sad faces, even Wei Siming, who had escaped, was about to be poisoned by Liu Xiang and others, this day, I really don't know when I will be able to get through it?
A few of them, forced by Liu Xiang's obscenity, really didn't dare to discuss this matter, at most they secretly talked to their families after they went home. At this time, what they can do is to secretly pray to the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, and bless Wei Siming from being caught by Liu Xiang and others.
Besides, Liu Xiang and others, there are about 30 people who came out of the city this time, which can be regarded as killing chickens. Liu Xiang's idea is to prepare more manpower, and he can't let Wei Siming and others run away.
After they left the city, under the leadership of the messenger, they hurried to the bottom of a hill in the suburbs outside the city, and then the messenger said to Liu Xiang: "Big boss, go over this hill, there is a small river over there, and there are a few thatched houses on the bend, and Wei Siming and others are hiding there." ”
"Okay, after crossing this mountain, the brothers will divide into two groups and join up and down the river, remember this time, don't let them run away!" Liu Xiang explained viciously, "What Lao Tzu said, the water that was spilled, if they want to die, they must die, understand?" ”
"Don't worry, the big boss will not be able to run away this time if we quietly touch it!" His men replied with reassurance.
So, Liu Xiang stopped talking nonsense, they were all accustomed to his subordinates, with a tacit understanding, carrying knives and guns, when he climbed along the trail to the top of the hill, he could vaguely see a small river meandering under the mountain through the gap in the woods. Under the guidance of the informant, you can probably see that there are indeed a few thatched huts where the river bends.
With a "phew", Liu Xiang spat down the mountain, immediately beckoned, and went down the mountain in two ways.
They didn't know that there was a hidden person in a tree not far from them, almost the same color as the tree, and they couldn't find it without staring. After Liu Xiang and the others left, a few bird calls sounded, and then, a few more people on the side suddenly moved and started to act.
Besides, Liu Xiang and the others, after secretly approaching the thatched houses from the upstream and downstream, they really saw someone fiddling with fishing nets in front of the door, and after a closer look, they recognized it as Wei Siming who escaped back then.
At this moment, Liu Xiang and others were overjoyed. Seeing that the thatched house had been surrounded, Liu Xiang didn't hide, swaggered out, and said loudly: "Little rabbit, if you have the ability, run again!" ”
When Wei Siming heard this, he didn't seem to be surprised at all, raised his head, looked at the pirates that kept popping up around him, and he didn't panic, but said loudly to Liu Xiang: "Liu Xiang, you dog thief, aren't you afraid of retribution if you do too many evil things?" ”
I don't know why, Liu Xiang suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't understand for a while, where this bad feeling came from, at this time, when he heard Wei Siming's scolding, he didn't lose the battle, so he replied with a sneer: "Lao Tzu is on the road, will you be afraid of retribution?" What childishness! ”
When his men heard this, they all laughed. It's ridiculous that this Wei Siming was surrounded and couldn't escape, but he used retribution to scold, and he came out to mix, who is afraid of retribution or not retribution, if you really believe this, you won't do this business!
They all pointed at Wei Siming, and scolded like cats and mice.
"Take care of yourself, we will repay you before we receive retribution!"
"Yes, you don't have to run away this time, say it yourself, how you want to die, Lao Tzu will fulfill you!"
“……”
Listening to the scolding of his accomplices, and seeing that Wei Siming was not flustered at all, Liu Xiang finally knew where his uneasiness came from! Looking at Wei Siming's appearance, it seems that he is not afraid, but has something to rely on!
However, Liu Xiang couldn't figure it out, what could he Wei Siming rely on? In this Mexico, the boss is the Spaniard, and the Spaniards obviously cannot become Wei Siming's dependence! Who else could there be? Aboriginal? It's impossible!
He never thought that Wei Siming's reliance would be what he was most afraid of. However, he was vaguely uneasy in his heart, so he became a little irritable, waved his hand and shouted: "Don't be verbose, arrest him and the other old guys, Lao Tzu is going to pick his skin, if you don't clean him up, Lao Tzu will not be surnamed Liu!" ”
Hearing him say this, his subordinates stopped being verbose, as if looking at a dead man, and surrounded Wei Siming, ready to make a move.
Wei Siming slowly retreated, until he retreated to the thatched house, with a sneer on his face, looking at the people who came around, his eyes seemed to have a feeling of cat and mouse, playing.
Seeing this, Liu Xiang was a little surprised. But before he could react, he saw that the thatched houses were suddenly pushed down from the inside, and then a large nest of people was exposed in each thatched house.
I saw that these people were wearing leather armor, and each of them was holding a crossbow arrow in his hand, which had been wound, and the arrows of the crossbow arrows flashed coldly, aiming at the pirates who surrounded them.
This sudden scene was really incredible, unexpected, and suddenly, the pirates who surrounded it did not dare to take a step forward, or even dare to move. But they knew that the bolt was a murderous weapon. No matter how fast they moved, they couldn't be faster than the speed of a crossbow bolt at such a close range.
Liu Xiang stood behind, and when he saw it, his first reaction subconsciously was to turn around and prepare to escape. However, as soon as he turned around, he found that there were many people behind him. The person behind him was even more strange, the cloak on his body was about the same color as the woods, and he appeared like a ghost, without any sound at all, and suddenly startled him again.
The people who came up around also had crossbow arrows in their hands, shining arrows, silently showing threat, so that Liu Xiang and the others who were on the periphery did not dare to move again.
"You ...... Who the hell are you? Liu Xiang was forced to calm down, but his stammering voice still exposed the fear in his heart, "If you have something to discuss, whatever you want, as long as I have it, I can give it." I didn't know Wei Siming was your person, I was wrong, I can pay as much as I want! ”
If a person with a tendon came out to mix, he would have seen the king of Hades a long time ago. Being able to bend and stretch and be cheeky is the basic condition for coming out and mixing. Don't look at Liu Xiang as a pirate leader, but when he encounters a weakness, he doesn't hesitate to pretend to be a grandson.
However, this time, no matter how much you pretend to be a grandson, it's useless.
I heard that among these elite people, there was a person who seemed to be the leader who answered him, and said in a Daming official language: "We are the Daming Marines, Liu Xiang thief, see where you can escape this time!" ”
Although Liu Xiang didn't understand what the Marine Corps meant, it didn't prevent him from understanding that these fatal Hades in front of him were from the imperial court.
As soon as she understood this, Liu Xiang couldn't stand anymore, her legs went weak, and she fell to the ground. He knew that if he fell into the hands of the Ming army, he would definitely not be able to live! He didn't expect that why he ran so far, and the Ming army would persistently chase after him, is it necessary?
Not only Liu Xiang, but also his subordinates, when they heard that these people were court officials and soldiers, they all despaired one by one.
For this statement, they believe. Because these people are all uniformly dressed, and everyone has a crossbow arrow, which is only in the hand. But that's enough, and on the other side of the Pacific, with such sophisticated equipment, no other power can possess it.
They never thought of it anymore, and they wanted to come out and arrest people, but now they were arrested. He who thought about wanting people to die, but now he is going to die.
Heavenly retribution, those who come out to mix, are they really going to be repaid?
Some people are desperate, like crazy, thinking about the idea of killing a good one, and they want to fight hard.
But as soon as they made their moves, a crossbow arrow "swished" out, and between the lightning and flint, it was nailed into the body of the vain person, and there was no room for them to resist at all.
Liu Xiang knew that he was going to die, and he also moved, but he was not desperate, but wanted to escape. However, a few crossbow arrows, as if they had eyes, directly bit his two legs. "Poof", under the huge pain in his legs, he fell and ate!
The Ming army officer led by gave an order, and the rest were tied. As for Liu Xiang, he was directly dragged under a tree like a dead dog and tied to the tree.
At this time, Wei Siming finally got permission, walked over, and when he arrived in front of Liu Xiang, he slapped out, "snapped", and asked loudly: "Aren't you afraid of retribution?" Retribution for you! ”
As he spoke, he slapped the backhand again and gave another retribution.
The soldiers of the Ming army watched him fighting, and they didn't see it, what they should do and what they were doing.
The movement here was a bit big, Liu Xiang was beaten to the ground in a daze, and found that there were many court officials and soldiers coming from the periphery, only to hear one person say with contempt: "I really thought that this pirate could run so well, and he deliberately went to break the queen, but I didn't expect to be taken away by you, and none of them ran back, so we were busy in vain!" ”
"Hehe, be cautious, this guy can really run, he ran to the South Seas, and then came to the Americas." Another person was talking, "The evil offender has finally been caught by us, and we will not disappoint the emperor, it is nothing for us to work hard." ”
One of the main purposes of this advance team was to seize Liu Xiang first and not let him run away while the war had not yet begun. Otherwise, it is very likely to be like Nanyang, as soon as the war begins, maybe this guy will run away again.
Liu Xiang was depressed when he heard this, why do you, a dignified emperor of the Ming Dynasty, keep thinking about me, a little pirate, and run across the Pacific Ocean to arrest me, is it necessary? Why bother?
He regretted it in his heart, he knew that he should not go against the court, otherwise the emperor would not be ruthless, and he would have sent someone to arrest him for running to the ends of the earth.
The soldiers of the Ming army were still talking, but Liu Xiang couldn't hear it, because he had been beaten and his face was covered with blood, and he fainted alive.
In one day, the advance team was completing another mission. It is to clean up the idle people outside Mexico City, etc., and prepare for the army to steal the city.
In fact, those who go out of the city to work are generally the oppressed ones such as the Indians, natives and Ming people, and with Wei Siming as a guide and communication bridge, basically the people who are controlled are very cooperative.
"We are the Ming Navy, and we have come to save you!"
In this sentence, if the object is Akito, it is overjoyed. No matter what their impression of the imperial court officials and soldiers was before, now they see the imperial court officials and soldiers in this part of the Americas, and it is ten thousand kind. Not to mention, they are not blessed here, but live a dark and oppressed life. So, they even took the initiative to cooperate with the soldiers of the Ming army and help the soldiers of the Ming army to make a good start.
And if the target is those Indians who came out to work, under the communication of Wei Siming and others, they understand that this is a civilized army, a Bodhisattva teacher who rescues suffering, and is here to defeat the Spaniards and give them a good life, they are also happy, and not many people show discooperation.
On this American continent, the Ming army was instructed to defeat the Xiyi and those indigenous leaders who worked for the Xiyi, and unite the Ming people and the oppressed low-class natives. Such a policy guideline, for the Chongzhen Emperor from later generations, was the easiest policy to think of to occupy the Americas at a low cost.
Early in the morning of the third day, when Wu Sangui arrived with the Ming American Army, the perimeter had been emptied, and the Spaniards in the city were still in the dark, so they would not care how many Ming and Indians were missing.
At dawn, Wei Siming led a group of marines to pretend to be Liu Xiang's people, scolded Wei Siming, who pretended to be caught, and approached the city gate.
Of course, the biggest reason is that no matter who is in Mexico City, whether it is a Spaniard, a Ming, or an indigenous, no one would have thought that the Ming army, or a powerful eastern team, would suddenly appear in Mexico and seize Mexico City.
Therefore, as soon as the Ming soldiers approached the city, they immediately quickly eliminated the guards guarding the gate. Seeing the crossbow bolts nailed to their chests, these soldiers didn't react, what the hell is going on?
"Killed, Ming killed the Spaniards!"
"The Ming people have gone crazy, rebelled, and killed the people of the Governor's Palace!"
“……”
The ordinary people at the gate of the city who saw this scene were stunned, and after reacting, they subconsciously turned around and ran, shouting frantically at the same time. Even the Ming people were stunned, the Spanish lord was killed, where did this courage come from, and did he want to live?
And the soldiers of the Ming army didn't care about these people, in fact, they couldn't manage it, they just quickly controlled the city gates. By the time the army from outside the city entered the city through the gates, whatever the Spaniards' reaction, everything was settled.
It was not until this time that the Ming knew that it was the imperial army that came over, looking at Wei Siming in the Ming army, they were like children who had been away from home for a long time, and the moment they saw their hometown, they all cried and cried happily. In particular, Liu Xiang and others were tried in public, which made them full of good feelings for the officials and soldiers of the imperial court.
As a result, during the period when the Ming army took over Mexico City, the Ming people in the city were the most cooperative. Very few Spaniards could escape, and the Spanish governor, who was the obvious target, naturally could not escape, and ended up in the same public trial as Liu Xiang, and this way of dealing with it also greatly won the favor of the low-level Indians.
The Ming army had a foothold in Mexico City, and it took almost no effort.
On the side of Panama City, the Ming army attacked strongly, but the incident happened suddenly, and the Spaniards were not of the same order of magnitude as the Ming army, so they didn't have time to react at all, and they couldn't react anything, and the Ming army took it without spending much cost.
Similarly, on the side of Panama City, although there was no Ming cooperation, the public trial of the Spaniards and those Indians who fought for the tiger also contributed to the Ming Dynasty to unite the hearts of ordinary Indians.
In a short period of time, the Ming Dynasty landed on the American continent with a tough posture and gained a firm foothold, and at the same time, the Ming Navy began to patrol along the coastline, encountered Xiyi's warships, and wiped them all.
Anyway, on the coast of the American continent, the number of the Ming Navy is several times that of Xiyi, plus the Ming Navy is equipped with a lot of rifled guns, after several small-scale naval battles, whether it is the Spaniards, or the Portuguese or the Dutch, they all dare not go to sea, and many Xiyi who are good and powerful in the Americas even want to escape back to Europe from the east coast of the Americas by ship. And those natives, after hearing the deeds of the Ming army, began to hope that the Ming army could rescue them.
The movements of the Ming army in the Americas also slowly spread back to Europe.
