Chapter 59: Entering the Governor's Palace
It's been five or six hours since the capture of the Spanish royal city, and breakfast is all dealt with casually, and it will be almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and they don't even have any intention of eating!
It's not that they're not hungry, it's not that they're not in the mood right now, it's just that they're too busy right now to eat!
Now the soldiers are being led by Zhang Lei and Zhao Shichang to raid the streets with people! This was originally discussed before the beginning, since this time to attack Manila, it is not easy to let go of these opportunities to make a fortune, Wang Kun was very generous with the use of money from the beginning, because he knew that there are a lot of good things here in Spain!
Wang Kun now asked people to guard the gate of the Governor's Palace, and he didn't want this gang of bandits to rummage around, because as the Governor's Mansion, there must be a lot of good things in it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info [Fengyun Novel Reading]
Wang Kun led people to search back and forth inside, just to see what good things this governor had collected here. I really don't know if I don't search, and I'm shocked when I search.
Wang Kun was not the only one who was taken aback, but now Zhao Shichang and Zhang Lei were also taken aback. They never expected that these Spaniards would loot so much gold, silver and jewelry in the Philippines for more than 200 years!
Zhang Lei is now in front of a fairly elegant building, and it can be seen from this house that can afford to live in such a luxurious house, this family should be a wealthy businessman.
Zhang Lei led people to break in directly, and then someone brought the owner of the family to look below, and someone was guarding the surroundings. Some people go into different rooms to loot property, and others register different items looted.
Of course, there are still people who keep pushing carts to transport these looted treasures to the governor's palace, and it can be seen from the tacit understanding of their current cooperation that they are very skilled in doing this.
Zhao Shichang is now standing on the street, constantly directing the soldiers who are working in several houses on both sides of the street. He divided his men into squads, each of which was in charge of one of them, and then a different squad carried the gold, silver, and jewels to the Doge's Palace.
From getting up in the morning to now, he has eaten a little at breakfast, and although he hasn't eaten anything for such a long time, Zhao Shichang doesn't feel hungry at all now.
He has now been taken up by these gold and silver jewelry, at the beginning of the time to see his subordinates from different people to search for so many gold and silver jewelry, Zhao Shichang is still excited, he has grown so big where has he seen so much gold and silver at one time, but as time progresses, more and more gold and silver jewelry have been scavenged, Zhao Shichang is now a little numb!
No wonder the eldest brother said so calmly at that time: Don't worry about gold and silver, I know where there are ready-made, and as long as we go, we can become local tyrants in an instant!
Now that I think about it, it's really the same as what the eldest brother said, this is much faster than in the gold mine, the Shilongmen gold mine has been mined for three months, and the total amount of gold produced is just enough, and this attack on Manila actually easily got so much!
As for how much he has gotten so far this time, Zhao Shichang doesn't care anymore, because he has already made a lot of it by himself. In addition, Zhang Lei and his eldest brother brought people to get it, and someone had already come over just now to report that Boss Cheng had also looted a lot of good things on the ships in the port!
It has been more than 200 years since the establishment of the Spanish Crown City, and the Spaniards have been operating here for more than 200 years. Spain's policy towards the colonies was to plunder, that is, to constantly transport the resources of the colonies back to the country.
So the Spaniards spent two hundred years looting the Philippines, although most of the resources and gold, silver and jewelry were shipped back to Spain. But there are still a lot of people left, so the treasures that Wang Kun can loot this time are still very considerable!
By this time, it was almost over, and the so-called Spanish royal city was not too big, so after most of the day's searching......
Forehead? No, it should be confiscated, yes is confiscated!
We are now the teachers of justice, and even if it is bad, we must use euphemisms to beautify it, although we are not afraid of them, at least let our future generations know that we are righteous!
Therefore, this is also the place where Spain and the Great Wei Empire have the greatest opinions in the future, and the record of this period of history, Spain uses words such as robbery, killing, banditry, etc., which is completely negative hooligan-like behavior. The Great Wei Empire used words such as occupation, seizure, and rescue, which came to rescue the local natives, so we represent justice and benevolence!
But that's hundreds of years away! At that time, the Great Wei Empire was already an old power, so it didn't care about the international impact of these things, after all, it was hundreds of years ago!
Now it is still the matter at hand, after the collection of these ill-gotten gains, it is almost done!
In fact, when they raided their homes one by one, the Spaniards also took advantage of the chaos to pick up leaks, but Wang Kun brought fewer people this time after all, and everyone was busy......
I'm busy raiding houses one by one! Those who fled from the streets, those who took advantage of the fire to rob, those who killed people and set fires, etc. None of them have time to solve these people's problems right now.
Soon after, however, they were done raiding, and the soldiers were laughing and talking all the way to the Doge's Palace. At the Governor's Palace, there are already people waiting for food at this time!
Just when everyone was counting the number of people, Cheng Luo came to the Governor's Mansion with two classes of people. Seeing Wang Kun coming up, he gave a big salute to Wang Kun, and then said, "The owner! We just sent it this time! I've never seen such a quick shortcut to riches! ”
Speaking of Cheng Luo's old face, there was a reason why he was so excited to make a big salute to Wang Kun. Because he was in charge of counting the ships on the docks, and then guarding the docks to prevent the Spanish navy or ordinary people from escaping.
When Cheng Luo began to receive this task, he was very unhappy, because everyone knew that the Westerners' warships were particularly powerful, they had rich experience in naval warfare, and there were many cannons on board and they were accurate. And Cheng Luo only had one ship himself, so he thought that Wang Kun was embarrassing him.
But after all, this is the person who took refuge after he escaped, Cheng Luo endured the monstrous fire in his heart, and the pilot sailed away, after all, he was under the eaves and had to bow his head!
However, when Wang Kun took the fort, the Spanish Navy, which sensed that the situation was wrong, immediately reacted, and Cheng Luo also rushed over at this time!
Facing several Spanish naval warships, Cheng Luo was very unconfident in his heart, but at this time, a person stood up and said to Cheng Luo: "Sir Cheng, we are artillerymen trained in Temasek, and this time we are ordered to listen to the command of Chief Cheng, as long as Chief Cheng gives an order, we can quickly shoot down the other party's warship." ”
And then......
Then it is conceivable that with the power and range of the Qiwu Mountain Cannon, the Spanish warship was stranded by a few shells on Cheng Luo's ship before it left the port.
At this time, Cheng Luo understood why Wang Kun was so relieved to hand over this task to himself. He didn't take the sea ships he had been training for a long time seriously, he was handing over the main engagement to the artillerymen!
At this time, Cheng Luo thoroughly understood that even if the other party's navy ships were more than his own, there would be more cannons on the ship than his own, but when facing his own cannons, he would only have the share of a corpse!
Then Cheng Luo was the same as Wang Kun and them, except that Wang Kun was searching from house to house in the city, but Cheng Luo was searching boat by boat on the dock.
It is also Wang Kun's luck, there are several ships full of goods from China. Tea, silk, and porcelain, which were exported from China, filled nearly a dozen Spanish galleons.
