Chapter 42 Digging into the Ground

After repeated discussions, in the end, the representative sent by Pontianak City was Sun Rufu!

In fact, he really wanted to resign. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After all, with such harsh conditions as Daming, it is difficult to guarantee that the president will not be angry with him. But among these representatives, there are quite a few forces behind them, and he is the weakest, so this drudgery belongs to him.

Just like before, after the city lord died in his mansion, no one wanted to be a bird, so he drove the duck to the shelves, and had to make him the acting city lord.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the young man who was fed fish by Zhang Xiao.

It turned out that he was the son of the lord of Pontianak City. And this city lord is still a three-generation, old man's son, usually for his son, that is in his mouth for fear of melting, holding it in his hand for fear of falling, the baby is not good.

If it weren't for the fact that his son was crying and making trouble to get on the boat, and Wang Chunfeng repeatedly promised that he would ensure his son's safety, how could he bear to let his son out of his sight.

So when Wang Chunfeng said that his son was gone, he suddenly fainted in fright. After that, if others hadn't stopped him, Wang Chunfeng would have to be chopped by him.

It is precisely for this reason that he refused to accept Daming's conditions. and summoned the young and strong, ready to wait for the Ming people to go ashore, and fight back desperately.

Although Wang Chunfeng also reminded him that if the time came, Daming would bombard the City Lord's Mansion. But he didn't believe that Daming's shells were so accurate within a kilometer range. And he also relied on his identity as the city lord, and Liang Daming would not do anything to him.

It's a pity that he is facing Zhang Xiao, who likes to be tough the most.

As a result, as soon as a shuttle cannonball flew, he went directly to Western Bliss. It's okay to finally meet his son. So as not to taste the pain of lovesickness and parting!

"This is really a narrow road!" , Listening to what happened to Wang Chunfeng in the City Lord's Mansion, Charlie sighed, and also used a newly learned Ming idiom.

When Zhang Xiao heard this, he also felt that it was a coincidence. Who would have thought that the young man's father would be the lord of Pontianak. Even the pirate leader Wang Chunfeng didn't know at first that it was the city lord who ordered him to do things. And he is still good to die, and swears to ensure the safety of the city lord and his son.

As a result, when he came to the City Lord's Mansion, he was immediately frightened stupid.

To tell the truth, if he had known that the person who ordered him to do things was the city lord, even if Daming gave him 100,000 taels of gold, he would not dare to enter this Longtan tiger's den.

In the end, it was the principals of Pontianak City who saw Daming's face and saved him.

"Hey! Who called the Ming Dynasty a country of benevolence and righteousness! How can you bear to watch a white-haired person send a black-haired person like this? Zhang Xiao sighed deeply and made a compassionate gesture.

Charlie's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't close his mouth in surprise.

Although he has long known that the leaders of the Ming Dynasty are a group of guys who eat grapes without spitting out grape skins, and eat meat without spitting out bones. I have also seen Zhang Xiao's thick skin before. However, this time Zhang Xiao once again refreshed his cognition.

This made him suddenly think of a common saying: 'People don't want to have a face, the world is invincible!' ’。

It was also at this moment that he suddenly felt that he was too kind!

And Wang Chunfeng on the side also felt that he was really like what Zhang Xiao said, that is, an innocent fisherman. Otherwise, how could Zhang Xiao be like this, after killing both father and son, he could still say it so high-sounding.

Lehi, a sycophant, quickly echoed: "Yes! We Mingguo people are just too kind! That's why I'm always being bullied! ”。

Now, Charlie and Wang Chunfeng are on their knees! If the people of the Ming Kingdom are as kind as you say, then there will be a better tomorrow in the world?

As for bullying, isn't it obvious now, who bullies whom?

No matter how thick-skinned Zhang Xiao is, he is embarrassed to pretend to be any longer. Coughed a few times, retracted everyone's attention, and then laid out the rest of the matter.

So it didn't take long for all the men on the boat who could play with guns to be organized by Lehi. Even those pirates played the role of dogs.

Originally, Zhang Xiao also wanted to go down, but everyone objected. And after he pretended to be angry, everyone put on a dead attitude.

All right! Zhang Xiao also had to be convinced. Together with Charlie and others, he stayed behind on the Hope.

Later, as soon as the ship docked, Lehi took the newly formed Ming army, plus the pirates and their relatives, and rushed to Pontianak City. The total number of people did not exceed three hundred.

Although along the way, they encountered no obstacles. Many gold, silver and jewelry stores are also empty, and the doors are open. But they didn't have the heart to sweep away the snatch! Even those pirates who were about to move were under the guns of Da Ming, and they didn't dare to mess around.

This is also to reduce the hostility of the people of Pontianak City towards the Ming Dynasty!

After all, in the eyes of Zhang Xiao and others, Lan Fangguo is the Chinese food of the Ming Dynasty. So what's the point of robbing your own money?

In particular, Lan Fangguo is mainly Chinese, and has a blood bond with the Ming Dynasty. The people here will definitely be the people of the Ming Dynasty in the future. If you take their things and take away their goods, will you not lose the hearts of the people?

Besides, Daming is not short of gold, why do such an eyeless thing for the sake of this little money!

What's more, whether ancient or modern, domestic or foreign, there is no place where the people will not like the army that has not committed any crimes.

In the next few days, Da Ming organized people to clean up the ruins of the City Lord's Mansion. and made a promise that no property from the city lord's mansion would be taken, and whoever dug it would be his.

As soon as the news came out, those Pontianak people who had fled to the countryside rushed back to the city in a swarm. Although there were still people who hesitated during the period, they were afraid of falling into the trajectory of Daming.

But you can't stop the bold!

After all, no individual is exempt from vulgarity! It is difficult for ordinary people to refuse the temptation of money.

When someone really dug up the first pot of gold in the City Lord's Mansion, and Da Ming didn't take a penny. In less than half a day, the news spread around Pontianak like wings.

So it's amazing!

Not only those people who already lived in Pontianak, but also many people in the countryside who were a little closer, all mobilized their families, men, women and children, and rushed to Pontianak to pan for gold. Like the old grandfather and grandmother with a hunched back and all his teeth gone, and the children in open crotch pants, they were also counting stones on the plot of the city lord's mansion.

This crowd is even better than the previous situation of fleeing!

As a result, the place in the city lord's mansion was crowded with dense people. The waste rock and slag were cleaned up in less than three days. The whole ground was bare, as if it had been waded through by a great deal of water.

But there was still an endless stream of people who rushed to hear the news. When they saw that the ground had been swept away, they turned their gaze back to the ground. After all, in this era, many old rich people have the habit of burying their family property in the ground.

Then I saw hoes and shovels all in battle, and all farm tools were available! Pontianak City also sold out all farm tools in less than half a day. So much so that some people had no choice but to take out their swords and iron spears at home and poke the ground vigorously.

So the place of the City Lord's Mansion has never been so lively as it is now. Every day it was dusty, like a construction site.

It wasn't until they dug ten meters underground that most people had no choice but to give up. But there are still a small number of people who continue to dig with the mentality of not abandoning and not giving up. As a result, a large secret room filled with gold was dug up.

Naturally, there was a wave of excavation.

In order to maintain the stability of Pontianak City, Li Hai also asked Wang Chunfeng and his pirates to set up a chengguan team to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation to cause chaos, and also to maintain order among the gold diggers.

In addition, according to the reports of the people of Pontianak City, Daming also vigorously cracked down on various underworld and evil forces that endangered social security. After that, a public trial and a criticism and fight meeting were held.

As a result of this series of measures, the security of Pontianak City has become better than ever. Even if there are some fish that slip through the net, they don't dare to come out and make trouble at this time.

Although it has not yet reached the point where the road is not left behind and the door is not closed at night, compared with the previous rule of Lan Fangguo, it is simply a day and a place.

The hearts of the people were also bought by the Ming Dynasty in a very short period of time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Daming went around to promote the immigration policy of the Ming Republic. The Ming Dynasty is portrayed as a beautiful paradise where there is gold everywhere and you will get rich when you go.
