Chapter 80: The Daming Hall
Dili City Shifangli Old Street, Daming Hall. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In Nanyang, where there are Ming people, guild halls have basically been built. Just like the expatriate agencies in later generations, the association bears the responsibility of contacting the Ming people, protecting the Ming people, and solving problems for the Ming people in other places.
If these places are independent countries, the guild will also be renamed an embassy or consulate. It's a pity that they are not, not qualified!
According to the relationship between countries, of course, the Ming Dynasty cannot lower its own compulsion.
At present, there are 100 Daming guards stationed in the Daming Hall, equipped with hundreds of muskets. After all, the responsibility is so great, and it will not work without a certain protective force.
The Portuguese, of course, disagreed, but the Ming said that another purpose was to shock and intimidate the Dutch.
And the Ming Dynasty relaxed a lot of trade restrictions, which gave Portuguese Timor a lot of benefits. Eat people with soft mouths and short hands, and the Portuguese will stop there.
Of course, there are not only Chinese people in the association. After all, Daming is a country of immigrants, and although the weight of Chinese is not small, there are also many immigrants from other countries.
But the Chinese are good at business, and most of the guilds are Chinese.
At this moment, there are more than 300 Chinese in the Daming Hall, more than 200 people from other ethnic groups, and then the people who have taken refuge nearby, the number of people has exceeded 1,030.
The Daming Hall covers an area of 100 square meters, three floors high, and the space is not large.
So so many people are crowded, it seems cramped and crowded!
But at this juncture, it's good to be alive, and no one cares whether it's crowded or not.
On the second floor, curator Zhao Huguang was standing by the window, listening to the report of Yang Ganming, the captain of the guards.
"We have repelled seven indigenous attacks, but the ammunition is seriously depleted. If we continue like this, we may not last long. ”。
When he spoke, Yang Ganming was also worried. He was sent here at the end of last year. At that time, it was voluntary, and if you went, you could move up the next level.
Therefore, there are a lot of people who sign up, and it is simply crowded. And with his courageous qualifications in the civilized brigade, he successfully squeezed into the list, and became the leader.
After that, he took his daughter-in-law and children and lived with them.
Although he is not afraid of death, he does not want his daughter-in-law and children to be ruined to death. In that case, he will die, and he will also cheat the corpse!
But judging from the current situation, the next wave of attacks by the natives is coming, and he does not know if he will be able to survive the rescue of the People's Army.
Zhao Huguang listened to his report, and his heart was also bitter. He was originally from Huguang Tianmen,
and the Chinese in Fujian, Zhejiang, Liangguang and other places in the Ming Dynasty are not the same way at all.
Earlier he moved to Macao and later to East Timor. In this place, he became a well-known wealthy Chinese businessman, married a wife and had children, and spread out his branches, and mixed up with the rumors.
Later, after hearing that the Chinese in the south had established the Ming Kingdom, he did not hesitate to join the Ming Dynasty.
Because of this, after the preparation of the Daming Hall, he returned to Dili and became the director. After all, he is familiar with this place, and it is convenient to do things.
He has experienced strong winds and waves, and he has also developed the ability to not be surprised by changes. Just looking at the natives outside the museum, his face couldn't help but change.
If these natives just want money, it's nothing. But these natives are extremely savage, and they not only want money, but also life! The method of torturing and grinding people is outrageous.
Looking at the corpses on the street, none of them are intact. One by one, the eyes are cracked, and the eyes are not visible.
Bang bang gunshots rang out, and the natives pounced like a tidal wave.
Zhao Huguang's thoughts were also interrupted, and he said in a deep voice: "Say, how long can our ammunition last?" ”。
Yang Ganming's expression changed a little before he sighed: "After this round, it should be bottomed out." ”。
"What?!" , Zhao Huguang was taken aback! He didn't expect the situation to be so serious. Seeing Yang Ganming's solemn face again, he knew that he was not joking.
With a change of tone, he instructed: "No matter what, we must hold out until the People's Army arrives." Only then can we have hope! ”。
Yang Ganming nodded, indicating that he understood.
Just as he was about to go downstairs, a native suddenly flashed by the window.
His face suddenly changed, and he took out his matching gun.
There was a thud, and the glass shattered to the ground. And downstairs, there was also a muffled sound.
"Lie down!" , he said urgently.
didn't explain, pressed Zhao Huguang's neck, and fell to the ground.
Hearing a whoosh, a poisonous arrow flew past Zhao Huguang's hair.
At this time, Zhao Huguang was also shocked into a cold sweat.
If it was any later, then he would have to go to see the Buddha.
And Yang Ganming didn't have time to think about it, in his eyes, there were only natives who kept crawling in.
Bang bang...
Gunshots!
He leaned sideways and hit a few natives who had just stepped through the window.
Seeing that their bodies instantly lost their balance, they leaned back and pushed the other natives down the stairs.
The guards guarding the door also rushed in, ran to the window, and fired at the bottom.
At that moment, there was a loud pop in the next room, as if something had fallen to the ground.
Immediately a scream rang out, and a large group of women and children in Dili City ran out crying, panicking.
When the natives saw that the room was blocked, they moved to the next door.
Yang Ganming immediately rushed into the room with the guards.
Whoosh...
Three poisons shot in front of him instantly.
The two soldiers who were at the forefront were immediately hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
Bang bang bang ...
As soon as the shots rang out, the guards immediately returned fire.
After a few minutes, all the natives in the room were wiped out.
But that's just the beginning!
I heard a sudden burst of screaming, crying, and howling from upstairs, followed by a close burst of gunfire.
Hearing this, Yang Ganming and Zhao Huguang's faces changed dramatically at the same time!
Because of safety considerations, they arranged all the women and children of Daming on the third floor. Now that there is a mess, it must be more than lucky.
And on the third floor, the ground was full of debris, and six piles of people scuffled together. There were still wounded or dead people lying in the room. Screaming, moaning, crying, howling, cursing, swearing, everything.
Zhao Teng hid behind the sofa, looking at the aunts who were fighting with the bad guys, and felt very scared!
His mother crouched beside him, holding a shoddy firecracker, shooting at the bad guys outside the window.
With a snap, his mother was shot in the shoulder, and the fire slipped to the ground.
Seeing this, he was frightened and cried.
Shouting: "Mommy-Mommy".
At this moment, an aunt suddenly fell from the sofa, her whole body black. On his chest, there was a poisoned arrow.
"Ahh His mother immediately let out a cry of pain. Because the aunt pressed down on half of his mother's shoulder, causing the blood to flow faster from the wound.
This made him even more scared and uneasy.
