Chapter 615: Suspects
"The surgery was very successful. Nature's ".'" 2”
Edward groaned for a moment when he heard this, and then said solemnly to Yang Li'er, "However, whether the general affairs can recover depends on whether there are any postoperative complications." ”
"Complications?" Yang Li'er was about to breathe a sigh of relief after listening to Edward's previous words, but she was shocked by the next sentence.
She also thought that Li Hongyu would be fine if the operation was successful, but she didn't think that there were any "complications", she had never heard this term before, and she didn't know what "complications" were.
"That's right, the organs of the human body are very delicate, and now although the projectile has been successfully removed, in the process of recovering from the injury, it will lead to a certain disease, and the common thing is that the wound infection cannot heal smoothly, which will lead to a series of symptoms."
Seeing this, Edward explained to Yang that after all, there was no penicillin in this era, and once the wound was infected, it could only wait for death, and the poor surgical environment often led to infection.
"How so!" Yang Li'er's eyes showed a complicated look, and she looked into the room with concern, and Sakurako Yamashita was standing at the table at this time, holding Li Hongyu's hand tightly.
"Miss Lian'er, how is the situation of the adults?" Bai Cheng saw Yang Li'er's surprised expression, and hurriedly asked, I don't know what happened.
Yang Li'er hesitated for a moment when she heard this, and then said what Edward told him with a gloomy expression, which meant that Li Hongyu had not completely left the ghost gate.
"It must be you who are the devil, if something happens to the adult, I will let you pay for your life!" After listening to Yang Li'er's words, everyone at the scene was shocked, and a general searched and pulled out his waist knife, and pointed at Edward angrily and said.
In the general's view, since Li Hongyu's operation was successful, he should recover, how could there be any "complications"? Therefore, it is believed that Edward is the troublemaker.
"Yes, take him to the sacrificial sword!" Several of the other generals present also drew their swords and glared at Edward, who also thought that Edward had played a trick on him.
These generals are the senior commanders and military attaches of the Ming fleet, all of whom were born in the Beijing suburbs of the New Army, and are Li Hongyu's descendants, so they are naturally concerned about Li Hongyu's safety.
As the generals took their knives, the surrounding sailors and soldiers also aimed their weapons at Edward, making the atmosphere solemn for a while.
Edward didn't know what had happened, but it seemed that the soldiers were hostile to him, so he asked the interpreter next to him.
Although Li Hongyu can speak Dutch, he can't follow Edward and the others all day long, so he assigned an interpreter to Edward and the others, and the translator also followed him this time, but because Li Hongyu was there, he couldn't enter the room, but stayed outside the door and waited for the summons.
The translator then told Edward what had happened, which made Edward shake his head helplessly, he had done his best, but there was nothing he could do in case Li Hongyu's wound was infected.
"Your Excellency has an order, if anything happens to Dr. Edward's departure, no one is to obstruct him."
Seeing that the situation at the scene had become tense, Bai Cheng shouted at the emotional generals and soldiers, "Now that the adults are resting, won't you disturb the adults by making such a noise, here I and Lord Wang are enough, you go back!" ”
"Let him go?" Everyone at the scene immediately looked at each other when they heard this, they never expected Li Hongyu to do this.
"The doctor is benevolent, and I don't want to cause many patients to die because of him because they can't be treated!" Bai Cheng couldn't understand Li Hongyu's order, but since it was an order, he could only carry it out, and said with a serious expression.
Hearing this, the generals slowly put down the knives in their hands, and they didn't dare to disobey Li Hongyu's orders, let alone Li Hongyu to bear the charge of injustice.
Subsequently, the generals and several officials of the Customs Department saluted Wang Hong and Bai Cheng and left, this time not only the sailors came, but also the important officials of the Customs Department were also present, who still had the heart to stay in the fleet at this time?
It's just that the officials of the Customs Department are all scholars and are more restrained, so they don't have as much reaction as those generals, but their concern is beyond words.
Edward and Mark saw that the general of the water division had spoken a few words to Bai Cheng and left angrily, not knowing what Bai Cheng said, and hurriedly asked the translator.
When they learned that Li Hongyu had ordered Edward to be let go if he met with misfortune, Edward and Mark couldn't help but be stunned, and based on their understanding of the indigenous people of the East, they thought that Li Hongyu would let Edward pay for his life.
"What a gentleman you are!"
After a long time, Edward couldn't help but sigh to Mark, and his heart was quite moved, if it were someone else's, maybe he would have to accompany the funeral, after all, his identity was a prisoner of war bought by the Ming from the Portuguese, and he had no rights at all.
"He was not only a gentleman, but also a knight, and the spirit of chivalry was evident in him." Mark nodded approvingly when he heard this, and then said in a deep voice, doubling his affection for Li Hongyu.
"Two adults, this is the musket that appeared at the scene, it should have been left by the perpetrators." At this time, a military attache came over with a musket in his hand and reported to Wang Hong and Bai Chengyu in a deep voice.
In fact, this musket has been seen a long time ago, but because it was Li Hongyu's operation, who still has the heart to pay attention to the matter of the musket, and now that Li Hongyu's operation is over, the matter of the musket is naturally on the desk and begins to find the murderer.
Bai Cheng took the musket and looked at it, and now the style of this musket is relatively new, much better than the muskets circulating on the market, and some of them are like the standard of the army.
"Lord Wang, what do you mean by looking at this?" Suddenly, Bai Cheng noticed some letters and symbols engraved on the butt of the gun, so he showed them to Wang Hong.
"It's like Spanish writing." Wang Hong, as the third-in-command of the Customs Department, naturally knew something about Western countries, and after taking a closer look, he said to Bai Cheng, and then took the musket to Yang Li'er, "Miss Lian'er, look at what is written on this?" ”
"It seems to be the number of the musket, but I don't know the specifics." Yang Li'er shook her head after seeing it, after all, she had limited time to contact Western characters, and the Western characters she knew were limited.
"Lieutenant Mark, look at what is written on this musket." Subsequently, Yang Li'er remembered a person, so she said to Mark, who had received a very good education since he was a child, and seemed to be proficient in Western and Chinese, which naturally included Spanish.
"This is the musket of the Spanish army, and the number of the musket is on the handle, from the seventh company of the third battalion of the Eagle Regiment of the 6th Spanish Army!"
Mark looked at the musket and said to Yang Li'er, in fact, he could see at a glance that this musket was the standard weapon of the Spanish army.
"Muskets of the Spanish army!" Bai Cheng's face sank when he heard this, but he heard that Li Hongyu defeated Gonzalez in fencing yesterday, and it was not Gonzalez's revenge.
"General Yu, when we were chasing the murderer, these broken strips of cloth appeared on the branches, which should have been broken by the branches when the murderer fled." As soon as Bai Cheng's words fell, Ruan Youyi rushed over panting and handed him some strips of cloth in his hand.
"How is Li Tongshi now?" Then, Ruan Youyi wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked with a concerned expression.
Since he couldn't enter the room where Li Hongyu was, he had no choice but to go after the murderer, but it was a pity that the murderer escaped.
"This is the fabric on the Spanish military uniform!" Seeing those strips of cloth, Mark couldn't help but be surprised and said, could it be that the murderer was really a Spanish soldier?
"Damn, I dare to plot against adults, it's just impatient." Bai Cheng's face suddenly sank when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and said, Now the evidence can already prove that the murderer is a Spanish soldier.
"Someone, pass on the general's military order, transfer the general's personal battalion over, and surround the camp of the Spaniards!"
Subsequently, Bai Cheng gave an order to the guards on the side in a loud voice, "Set up our artillery outside, as long as the people inside dare to act rashly, they will beat Lao Tzu to raise him a son of a bitch!" ”
Those who are familiar with Bai Cheng know that Bai Cheng's foul language means that he is really in a hurry, otherwise he will definitely not swear, thanks to Li Hongyu's teaching, when he was in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, he often taught them to be the commander of the army when they were not alarmed.
It's a pity that with Li Hongyu's injury, Bai Cheng has already left his anger, where can he care about any Confucian generals or not, so he scolded directly.
When the guard heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and after bowing his hand to Bai Cheng, he left in a hurry, and went to transfer Bai Cheng's personal barracks to surround the Spanish camp.
Bai Cheng's pro-military battalion has 1,000 people, composed of the elite soldiers of the naval division, and is a reserve non-commissioned officer force that the naval division focuses on cultivating, with excellent weapons and well-trained.
If it weren't for the emergency, Bai Cheng wouldn't have called the pro-military camp at all, but now there is nothing more serious than Li Hongyu's injury, so it was naturally the turn of the pro-military camp to dispatch.
Wang Hong quietly watched the guard who gave the order leave, his expression was extremely serious, the current evidence is enough to prove that Li Hongyu's injury is inseparable from the Spaniards, so it is good to let Bai Cheng put some pressure on those Spaniards, is it so easy to deal with the dignified Ming?
When they learned from the interpreter that Bai Cheng was going to mobilize troops and horses to besiege the Spanish camp, Edward and Mark suddenly showed a look of surprise on their faces, they couldn't imagine that Bai Cheng would make such a big move for a general matter, and did not hesitate to surround the Spanish camp.
As far as the two men knew, there were more than 200 soldiers of the Spanish Sixth Army in the Spanish camp in Bangkok, and if the two sides fought, many people would be killed and wounded.
Most importantly, Spain was a maritime power, and if the Ming Dynasty went to war with it, the maritime trade routes would be in danger.
Where do the two know Li Hongyu's true identity now, if Li Hongyu really has an accident, then unless the Spaniards hand over the murderer, this battle will definitely be fought.
Ruan Youyi felt remorse in his heart at this time, if it was the Spaniards' black hand against Li Hongyu, then it must have something to do with yesterday's duel, he felt that he had harmed Li Hongyu.
At this time, Ruan Youyi would not realize that he had missed an opportunity to discover Li Hongyu's true identity, Bai Cheng had already called Li Hongyu "adult" in a hurry just now, but it was a pity that he fell into deep self-blame and did not realize it.
The Spanish camp, not far from the port of Bangkok, was a barracks with high walls and lookout posts to protect Spanish interests in Siam.
At the end of the morning, the dozing sentry on the lookout in front of the camp gate was awakened by a loud noise, and when he looked at it, he was stunned, only to see a large group of soldiers in armor trotting towards the camp gate, and the sound of waking him up was exactly when the blades of the armor struck, and it sounded a little dull.
Dangdangdang......
The sentry immediately realized that the enemy was coming, and hurriedly rang a small bell beside him, and the sharp sound of the bell woke up the sleeping Spanish soldiers in the camp, and they hurriedly got dressed.
Since arriving in Siam, the Spanish soldiers have become a little slack in their training, and because of their sharp firearms, the locals do not trouble them, so they live a leisurely life.
When the Spanish soldiers climbed the city wall with their weapons, the sailors outside the wall were already in an offensive position, and the muzzles of many artillery pieces were aimed at the camp.
"Lieutenant Colonel, we are surrounded by the natives." A second lieutenant officer hurried into a room and said like a middle-aged officer who was arranging his uniform, Lieutenant Colonel Fidel, the top officer in the Spanish camp.
"Do you know whose men they are?" Fidel's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, and then asked quietly, very surprised that the local armed forces in Bangkok dared to surround the camp.
"It's too dark to see their banners, but these natives are well equipped, well-armoured, and have brought in a lot of artillery." The lieutenant shook his head and replied solemnly.
"Are these natives crazy?" Fidel had some difficulty understanding the practices of the natives outside, and surrounded the Spanish military camp for no reason, which was no different from madness.
As for the second lieutenant's remark that the natives were well equipped, Fidel couldn't help but scoff, he had been in Bangkok for several years, and knew that the local armed forces were poorly equipped and had nothing to fear.
With that, Fidel picked up his sword and strode out of the room, inspecting the besieging natives to ascertain their intentions.
When Fidel ascended the aisle at the top of the wall, surrounded by a group of officers, he suddenly looked surprised, and by the moonlight in the sky, he could clearly see the cold fish-scale armor worn by the native soldiers outside the wall, and the black guns with the muzzles of the guns.
"Ask them who they are." It was the first time Fidel had seen such a well-equipped native army, and he frowned and said to a lieutenant next to him, who could speak Siamese.
When the lieutenant heard this, he shouted in Siamese to the "native soldiers" outside, and the sailors who had promised to besiege did not understand Siamese and therefore naturally would not respond to him, and carried out military movements in an orderly manner, surrounding the large battalion of the Spaniards.
