1196 This is the truth
When Kun heard this, he immediately asked with a cold face: "This contract is written according to the will of this governor, is it not clear to this governor?" β
When Su Minggang heard this, he was definitely unwilling, before coming, he read this contract repeatedly, pondered it for a long time, and naturally remembered it clearly.
Therefore, he hurriedly squeezed out a smile and replied, "But Lord Governor, this contract is ......."
As he spoke, he wanted to step forward and go to the desk in front of Kun to get the contract, but he didn't expect that Anthony on the side suddenly pulled out his saber and pointed the tip of his sword at Su Minggang, stopping him from moving forward, and at the same time shouted coldly: "There are no rules, will the Governor still lie to you?" Whatever the Governor says, then what to do! Don't think that if you are Kapitan, we won't do anything to you. β
Speaking of this, his hand holding the sword stretched forward, the tip of the sword touched Su Minggang's chest, and shouted with disdain: "You remember for me, you are a dog of our Dutch, do whatever you want!" Otherwise, there are so many dogs, no one cares about you, an old dog! β
At this point, I almost tore my face. However, the Dutch don't care at all, so what if they tear their faces? In the final analysis, it is exactly what Anthony said, Kapitan is just a Dutch dog, when the owner is in a good mood, he can listen to the needs of the dog, and when he is in a bad mood, when he dares to bark, he will be beaten directly with a stick.
Su Minggang's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he looked at Admiral Anthony, who was holding his sword against him, and looked at the contempt in his eyes, as well as the fierceness. Then, he turned his head to look at the governor of Batavia, who was sitting in his seat, and saw that he was also looking at himself with a cold face and a hint of contempt, and then turned his head to look at Putmans, who had escaped from the Ming Lord, and the same was true.
If Su Minggang didn't feel sad and frightened in his heart at this time, it was impossible, and there was a stinging pain in his chest, obviously, Anthony used force again, and the tip of the sword pierced into his clothes and pierced the skin.
Under the pain, he couldn't help but immediately retreat, and in a panic, he even fell and sat on the ground without news.
Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Anthony and Kun and the others couldn't help laughing. At this time, in their eyes, the person sitting on the ground was not an old man at all, let alone a person who was treated equally, but a dog, and what they saw was an embarrassed appearance.
After Putmans finished laughing, he snorted coldly: "Get out! β
Anthony didn't put away his saber, but held it in his hand, his eyes staring at Su Minggang with a thick look of mockery.
The governor of Batavia, Kun, picked up the contract on the table, didn't look at it, rolled it up and threw it into a wastebasket at his feet.
Looking at everything in front of him, Su Minggang completely understood that my friend was really just one of their dogs. They can talk to themselves about the contract, about the spirit of the contract, because they are strong. And they want to negotiate the contract according to their rules, but because it damages their interests, they can put aside the contract, ignore the spirit of the contract, and don't believe it, but they can't help them at all! Because the Akito in Batavia are too weak!
It seems to remember that these Xiyi have said a sentence before, what truth is within the range of the cannonball! Yes, that's what it means! This is the truth!
Thinking of this, his heart was very helpless and sad, he knew that this trip must have run in vain, and his face was torn, and these Xiyi would no longer be hypocritical. When he is old and has seen a lot of things, he will no longer be naΓ―ve, even if he begs hard, it will not be useful.
Thinking so, he got up and wanted to leave.
However, at this time, the previous scenes flashed in his mind.
It was he who gathered these fellows to work here in Batavia. At that time, I told them that Xiyi here is good to us Mingren, as long as we work hard, we can always make more money and go back to our hometown!
Nowadays, I am tired of work, but there is no end in sight. Looking at the Dutch like this, they will continue to use Ming people to the death. In this way, how many of these people can return to their hometown alive?
Su Minggang seemed to see the disappointed expressions of those fellow villagers after he went back. One by one, they will blame themselves for pulling them into the fire pit! They want to go back, but they don't let them go back, and they want to work here until they die, which is a lie to them......
Thinking of this, Su Minggang felt that his legs weighed a thousand pounds, and every step he took was very difficult. His steps grew smaller and smaller, and eventually, he stopped.
The three people in the room looked at him, and when they saw him stop, Anthony shouted coldly, "What, don't you get out yet?" β
Su Minggang turned around slowly, he no longer had the smile he had squeezed out before, his expression was a little resolute, he looked at the three people in the room, and said in a low but powerful voice: "If you don't let us go, continue to use our Mingren to death." Our emperor knows about it, and he won't leave it alone! Luzon, is an example! β
If this was changed to before, Su Minggang would not want to say it anyway. Because there is no precedent, the Central Plains Dynasty has never cared about overseas affairs.
However, now it is different, Luzon is giving hope to all the Ming people in Nanyang.
Hearing this word with a hint of threat, Anthony suddenly changed color, pointed at Su Minggang and shouted: "You old thing, you still want to threaten us Dutch? You don't know, but we Dutch are called coachmen of the sea, and we are not comparable to those Spaniards. The Armada they claimed was wiped out by us Dutch. Just rely on the kind of broken ships and guns of you Orientals...... Oh, by the way, just those guns, or buy imitations from us, think with your pig brains, and still beat us Dutch? Dream on! β
What they didn't expect was that when Su Minggang heard this, not only was he not afraid, but instead showed a trace of disdain, and immediately responded without hesitation: "You are afraid!" β
Based on his life experience, he naturally heard that Anthony's words seemed fierce, but he was not violent, and he was also afraid of the strength of Daming in his heart.
When he said this, the three people in the room were stunned, and when they were about to get angry, Su Minggang continued: "If you are really invincible, why don't you go back to the big man?" If we really want to use troops overseas, no one can be the opponent of Ming! β
He said this, if he didn't have confidence before, but now he has. Luzon was occupied by the Ming army, Annam was occupied by the Ming army, Nanzhang was occupied by the Ming army, Angkor was occupied by the Ming army, and even the mighty Mughal Empire was occupied by the Ming army. Not only that, I heard that the north was also pacified by the Ming Dynasty, and there were no more Jianyu and Mongol disasters, all of which proved that the Ming Dynasty was stronger than ever, and it was the real Celestial Empire, the world's first power!
As soon as he finished saying this, Putmans first became angry, jumped up, walked quickly in front of Su Minggang, pushed it over as soon as he stretched out his hand, and shouted: "If it weren't for the sneak attack of the Ming army, how could I be defeated?" Scheming, what's it? β
Su Minggang took many steps back, and only when he reached the door did he stand firm. At this time, he had already let himself out, and he was not afraid, so he immediately said-for-tat: "Resourcefulness is what a wise man does!" β
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Putmans, because he knew that this defeated general in Batavia actually had no real right to speak. Therefore, he turned to look at the Governor of Batavia and said, "I hope that the Governor will fulfill the contract, and we can go home when we have finished our work!" β
Kun and Anthony and others discussed the situation here, but in the final analysis, they were still afraid of Da Ming. At this time, it was said that it made them all a little annoyed and angry, and Kun was no exception. He sneered and said: "You yourself work hard in order to make more money, and you can blame us when you are tired, what a joke!" β
Speaking of this, his eyes were full of Tranquility, staring at Su Minggang and said: "I'll give you a chance, today's incident will be treated as if it never happened, continue to be your Jiabidan, take care of those Ming people, we are still friends, how about it?" β
"This Jiabidan, I, Su, am not rare!" Since Su Minggang has already been released, he naturally will not give up until he achieves his goal, and replied without hesitation, "Please also ask the Governor to be merciful, and we can go home after we are finished." I brought them out back then, and I don't want them to die here! β
With a "snap", Kun slapped his palm on the desk, stood up suddenly, pointed at Su Minggang and shouted: "Okay, since you toast and don't eat and drink, I don't believe it, this Jiabidan, you are not rare, there will naturally be rare people!" Come, drag him out and hang him on the construction site. In addition, a notice was issued again that Su Minggang violated the spirit of the contract and violated the provisions of the contract, and was no longer worthy of being a Jiabidan. Others, as long as they are willing to be Kapitan, regardless of the conditions, will be selected by the Governor after signing up! β
Hearing this, Su Minggang couldn't help laughing, pointed at Kun and said loudly: "Reversing black and white, strong words, you Xiyi are really a group of barbarians who don't understand civilized etiquette!" β
"Drag it out, drag me out!" Kun listened and roared loudly.
The guard at the door immediately walked in quickly, set up Su Minggang and dragged him out.
Anthony pointed at Su Minggang, who was dragged out, with his saber, and shouted, "The virtue of you oriental monkeys is like that. You look at it, and the notice goes out, and there are people who come to be this Kapitan. We Dutch people have never been short of dogs! β
He said this, and it was not unfounded. Since he came to the East, he has seen a lot of intrigues and fights between Ming people for interests, and things in the nest abound.
However, being stirred up by Su Minggang like this, they had no interest in discussing matters again. The construction of Batavia is a matter of fundamental to their foothold in the South Seas. Therefore, this matter must be arranged first, not only to delay the construction progress, but even to speed up the process.
Therefore, Kunyi pointed at Putmans and said, "You go and supervise this, and let those who sign up for Kapitan make a promise, and write down who can build Batavia the fastest, and then show it to me!" Before sunset, I want to see the list and select a new Kapitan, and I can't delay the follow-up work. β
When Putmans heard this, he said yes and hurried out.
Kun then turned to look at Anthony and instructed him, "The matter of coastal defense will be left to you." Liu Xiang, on his side, can send someone to reply to them, as long as we agree to our conditions, we can join, and let him unite other forces as soon as possible. β
When Anthony heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly agreed to go out.
Not long after, in the central square of the Batavia construction site, Su Minggang was hung there. When the Ming people working on the construction site saw it, they all left their work in their hands and surrounded them without being notified by the Dutch.
At this time, Su Minggang was already fifty-four years old. Because he came to Nanyang to make a living since he was a child, from the outside, people who don't know think that he has more than sixty years.
At this time, such an old man was hung there, and the clothes he was wearing were stripped off, revealing rows of ribs, and he looked very thin. His mouth was covered with a cloth, and he couldn't speak at all.
Below, a few natives guarded, and on the side of the spreader, there were seats, and Putmans sat there, and naturally there were natives holding large sun umbrellas for him, so that he would not bask in the sun.
Seeing that the Ming people were all gathered around, Putmans loudly said the charges against Kun Press, and then glanced at the crowd of onlookers and said, "Anyone who wants to be a Kapitan, come and line up to register." β
After finishing speaking, he saw that those Ming people were just looking at Su Minggang, but they didn't respond to him, which made him very dissatisfied in his heart, so he repeated again: "Jiabidan doesn't have to work, but he can receive wages, and he can often see the governor, if you want to be a person, sign up early, so as not to be preempted by others and regret it!" β
Still no one responded to his words, but the surrounding Akito whispered to each other.
He could only understand a few simple words about Akito's words, so he didn't know what they were talking about. However, judging from their expressions, they seemed to have an opinion about Su Minggang being hanged.
Seeing that Akito did not show up as he had imagined the response made Putmans very unhappy. He didn't repeat it anymore, and looked at the onlookers with a cold face.
After waiting for a long time, Akito finally walked out of the crowd of onlookers, which made Putmans snort coldly in his heart, and really thought that this group of oriental monkeys had changed their sex!
Who knows, after the man walked in front of him, he questioned him: "Su Lao went to ask us if we could go home after the construction period ended, which was said in the original contract, and you agreed to it at the beginning." May I ask my lord, what is it about Su Lao who does not abide by the contract? β
Putmans didn't expect that he didn't come to sign up for Jiapitan, he immediately waved his hand and said, "If you didn't come to sign up for Jiabidan, get out of the way!" β
Seeing him like this, the man changed his words and said, "Old Su is old, can you put him down first?" β
