Chapter 45: The Miracle of a Ship
The next day, when Lan Fangguo's army arrived at Pontianak City with twelve points of vigilance, they found that the whole city was quiet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoNot only are the people of Daming gone, but even the people of Pontianak City are gone. The streets are empty, and it's surprisingly quiet!
For a while, the people of Lan Fangguo mistakenly thought that they had come to the wrong place. After all, Pontianak is the largest city in Lanfang! Usually business is prosperous, and wine shops are everywhere. Although the flow of people is not to the point of rubbing shoulders, it also has the scale of endless streams!
But look at it now, how can you still see half a living person in the whole city!
And every door is open, and the inside is like being waded by a big water, as if it is hurrying like something. Even the frames on the windows and the brass buckles on the doors have been removed.
This looting ability is so strong that it is simply embarrassing!
Looking at this situation, Lan Fangguo's high-level officials were a little crying. Doesn't it say that Daming is full of gold and is so rich that it flows oil? Then why is it like a robber entering the village and looting Pontianak City so cleanly?
The whole thing is like a mouse that fell into the rice tank, and there are no particles left!
In fact, they really blamed Da Ming. These things were taken away by the people of Pontianak City. Because Chinese people have always been frugal and simple, no matter where they go, they like to take their things with them and are reluctant to throw them away.
So I have to move to Daming, and of course the things in the house must be cleaned up and thorough.
I can't afford to waste it!
If it weren't for the long distance of Daming and the space in the cabin being too small, it is estimated that they would have been able to demolish their own house, and there would be no bricks and tiles left!
Just when the people of Lan Fangguo were still heartbroken about the scene in Pontianak City, an old man with crutches and a back on his back, who had to walk for a long time, staggered on the street.
This made Lan Fangguo's eyes shine. I finally saw a living person, how can I not like it.
Hurriedly ran forward and surrounded him.
This action instantly scared the old man to death, and his eyes rolled. Looking at his trembling appearance, it seems that he can stop cooking at any time.
I finally ran into a living person, but I couldn't just die. So the people of Lan Fangguo spoke for a while, and then slowly stabilized the old man's mood.
It was only after a very difficult and lengthy exchange that they finally got some useful information. The main reason for this is that the old man speaks very slowly, his teeth have fallen out again, and his pronunciation is slurred. They tried their best to be patient, even guessing and thinking, and it took a lot of brains to understand what the old man meant.
It turned out that before Da Ming left, he really left something for Lan Fang in the city, and this old man still knew the place.
So under the leadership of the old man, it took them more than three hours to reach their destination.
In fact, the place was only one street away from them, and the distance was very short. It's just that the old man's speed is comparable to the speed of a turtle, which delays time. Later, they couldn't stand it anymore, so they took the old man on their backs and asked him to show him the way. But it doesn't work that way! Because the old man is always slow to react and speak slowly. As a result, the more you point to it, the more wrong it becomes, and the farther and farther you go.
Eventually, they were out of town!
At this time, they didn't dare to run fast, so they followed the old man, using the speed he could accept, and hurried to the destination.
So much so that they found themselves passing by their destination several times, and they were so angry that they couldn't speak.
When they entered the room, they were furious. Because there is a half-dead paralyzed man lying inside, isn't it the prime minister of Lan Fangguo? I haven't seen him for a few days, and he has become such a ghost that they didn't recognize him at first.
Originally, they still thought that Da Ming would definitely not dare to do anything to the prime minister for Lan Fang's sake! But the current fact is that the Ming Dynasty is a group of barbaric bandits, robbers and bandits! It also claims to be a civilized country, a country of etiquette! How can this work still reflect a little bit of civility, clarity, etiquette and etiquette?
After all, as the old saying goes: 'When two countries are at war, they will not be killed.' ’。 Although Da Ming did not behead the prime minister, in this case, it is better to kill him. Because unless you are an unusually determined person, no one can stand being suddenly crippled in bed for life.
Looking at the prime minister's gaze again, how can there be any normal human look! There is no greater mourning than death! The whole person is also completely wasted.
The more I thought about it, the more angry the people of Lan Fangguo became!
Murderous rushed to the docks, but didn't see even half a plank. The layers of waves made a continuous rattling sound, as if they were laughing at their stupidity!
On the Hope, Zhang Xiao and the others listened to Li Hai's arrangement of Pontianak City, and instantly laughed. They could already imagine the people of Lan Fangguo in Pontianak City.
So when they were praising Lehi's ghost idea for a long time, they couldn't help but secretly warn themselves that they must not let Lehi's family and his gang worry about it, otherwise the bad means would make people have a headache.
In the following days, they took the steamship Hope of the Ming Dynasty, baring their fangs and bombarding various coastal and riverside cities in Lanfang Kingdom. caused panic throughout Lanfang Kingdom.
And they also continued the Pontianak practice, and every time they occupied a place, they would pay a lot of money. Anyway, it's not their own money, and it's not distressing to send it out.
Moreover, it is not without purpose to send it to ordinary people. Because after the people get the money, their minds will slowly calm down, and then they will think about how to keep the money in their hands.
Therefore, in order not to spit out the money in hand, in order to escape the pursuit and revenge of Lan Fangguo, the people will eventually choose to go to Daming.
In this way, it not only increased the population of Daming, but also made money flow to Daming in disguise. It's so worry-free and effort-free, it's so cool.
During this period, Lan Fang also sent troops to attack.
It's a pity that if they send fewer people, they will be eaten by the Ming Dynasty. The sharp musket will definitely make Lan Fang's soldiers understand what it means to be powerless. But there are too many people to be sent, and it takes time to mobilize and rush. And Da Ming got the news in advance, so he turned into a loach and slipped away.
Of course, Lan Fangguo also sent a sailor to meet the battle!
In fact, it is only a head, because Lan Fang also studied the Qing Dynasty. Although it is an island country, it is bent on dominating Borneo and becoming a land power. So there is not much development of the water division at all.
As a result, the sailors of the entire Lanfang Country, just a few old and small broken ships, a few guns that will explode at any time, and the range of less than 100 meters, the accuracy is extremely poor. This grade, this equipment, and Daming are a world gap!
In the eyes of Zhang Xiao and others, it takes a lot of courage to be able to take out such goods and colors!
And so the expected result happened! The sailors of the entire Lanfang country were abused by the Ming Hope. I can't hit it, I can't catch it, I can't catch it.
And was ridiculed by the Hope in turn, full of tricks, what hanging, sanda, just like playing. So much so that Zhang Xiao and the others felt bored, and let go of the Lan Fangguo Water Master who was still breathing.
This is the power of science and technology, the gap between civilizations!
Although in the eyes of the Ming crew on the Hope, this battle was not a naval battle at all. But in the South Seas, the impact is far-reaching. So that the Netherlands and Portugal, which wanted to stumble on hope, temporarily died down.
After all, a ship can defeat a country's sailors, which is really unheard of and unseen. Although the Dutch and the Portuguese also knew that the sailors of Lan Fang were weak, they were not enough to see in front of them.
But this is also a country's sailor! Let them go out, then it will take a dozen ships to destroy the people, and they may also suffer a little injury. It's not to the point where Daming is so against the sky!
It's hard to imagine that if the Ming Dynasty built the same number of warships as them, would there still be a place for them to set foot in the South China Sea?
It's like a pebble breaking the surface of a calm lake. Western countries began to send spies into Daming to inquire about the secrets of the steamship Hope.
