That night, although Pérez did not move out of this cell, but he ate a decent meal, he was not familiar with Chinese food, but it was obvious that it tasted good, especially after a long voyage at sea, Pérez could not eat any fresh food, although he did not know what vegetables the Tang provided for him, but Pérez still killed them all. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The cell was not comfortable, and Pérez had expected to be treated at least a little bit by virtue of his status, but it was clear that the Tang people were not so tolerant of the crimes he had committed, even if it was only two inconsequential fishermen who died. From this matter, the authorities actually want to set a standard, that is, the enemy is the enemy, although the Tang people have the traditional Chinese virtues, but repaying grievances with virtue is obviously not one of them, right and wrong are clear and clear, there is kindness to repay kindness, there are grievances and complaints, and the concept of right and wrong must not be distorted.

Although Zhao Daling looks more sleek and wise, he is actually a more stubborn type in his heart, and he is very unaccustomed to some flies and dogs in the society and army before the crossing, so when he had the opportunity to create a new situation, he also brought some of his own persistence. His actions were also supported by Bai Nan, Deng Xiyi and others.

There was not even a bed in the cell, only a nest of hay, and Bai Nan casually threw Perez a worn-out futon, and it was over.

Pérez has some insomnia in such a place, even if the conditions of the ocean-going ship are difficult, but he is the captain of the ship, and he can always enjoy the best conditions, and it is the first time that he is truly treated like a mouse.

Perez was arranged to visit, was put the next day, Perez did not know what kind of experience these Tang people would give him, he could feel a sense of superiority from Bai Nan and others, obviously Perez came from the powerful Spanish kingdom, but these people who were just a colonial country looked at Perez like natives, which made Perez very humiliated on the one hand, and curious on the other hand, what made them so confident.

The next day, Captain Pérez, who had black circles under his eyes, was dragged out of the cell, and Bai Nan arrived as scheduled, glanced at the somewhat sloppy Pérez and said, "Mr. Captain, you are going to attend a formal occasion, obviously your appearance will be a little rude." ”

Pérez said with some sarcasm: "I'm sorry, but I don't have a fitting room or a bathroom in my cell. ”

Bai Nan turned to the two soldiers beside him and said, "Please take Mr. Perez to tidy up yourself." ”

Pérez was brought into a building, apparently a barracks-like existence. Perez was able to take a shower with cold water, naturally there was no Spanish military uniform for Perez to replace, and there was no European-style clothing of this era in Los Angeles, in fact, even Zheng He and others now more and more like to wear clothes that are more convenient for the modern and Republican people. Perez was dressed in Republican clothing, with suspenders, a white shirt and a Western-style jacket. In the second half of the 17th century, in the time of Louis XIV, the ancestor of the suit, the three-piece suit, the knee-length tunic "Stycol" and the slightly shorter "Best", and the tight-fitting and body-length half-cut pants "Kyurot". And the style of the suit that Pérez got will not appear in Europe for at least another hundred years.

Changing into this dress and looking at his appearance in the dressing mirror, Perez actually felt that he was a little personable, and he secretly said: "The clothes of these Tang people are not bad. ”

After getting dressed, Pérez felt a lot more refreshed. Under the watchful eye of two soldiers, he again came to Bai Nan, this time with several more people around him, all European faces, still wearing the linen robes of Franciscan priests.

"Captain Perez, this is Father Cruzado, and I don't have to explain their origins to you." Bai Nan said flatly, and he couldn't see any likes and dislikes.

Perez immediately understood that these priests must be the Franciscan priests of the St. Garibuel Evangelistic Institute, who were also captured by the Tang people, and Pérez immediately saluted the priests: "Father, be polite. ”

With a little smile, Kruza said, "It's a pleasure to see our compatriots, although you are not in a good situation now, Mr. Captain, but the benevolent and wise Lieutenant Colonel Bai and the leaders of the Tang Kingdom should let you go home." ”

Pérez said to Bai Nan: "These priests who have not committed any mistakes, can you release them?" ”

Before Bai Nan could speak, Cruzado himself said: "Mr. Captain, Lieutenant Colonel Bai has promised us that those who are willing to leave Los Angeles can return to the colony of New Spain, while I and two parishioners will stay in Los Angeles and spread the gospel of God to the people here." ”

Bai Nan didn't correct him either, Kruzado and his partners these days, that is, doing some carpentry or farming or something, the people he had limited contact with didn't know Spanish, but they were very tenacious and had begun to learn Chinese, but it was hard to say how much their efforts would be rewarded, because in the future, Los Angeles may build local temples, such as the Temple of Confucius, the Jade Emperor Temple, etc., obviously this kind of local gods or sages are more marketable, and they don't have much influence, and they are easy to control.

Pérez understood the devotion of the Franciscan and Jesuit clergy, and he bowed in respect, and said no more. After all, there are so many people here, and they are all civilized and civilized people, if it can be opened into a diocese, it is simply a temptation for these priests to refuse.

"Captain Perez, although you are still our prisoner, prisoners are also guests in a sense, aren't they? Today is the first military parade of the year in the Tang Republic, and you are welcome to watch it with Father Cruzado. Bai Nan said, leading several Spaniards to the parade venue.

The military parade in Los Angeles was actually a temporary event, not only to celebrate the official establishment of the Tang Republic, but also to deter those ignorant Spaniards. There is no majestic square, no white marble bridge or Chinese watch, only a simple wooden viewing platform and a trail that has just been built for less than a week.

Pérez and Kruzado were fortunate enough to stand on the viewing platform, which now has officials from the State Council, military officers, and some citizen representatives, and many more people are under the viewing platform, on both sides of the promenade, some of them waving improvised banners, some waving red flags. Behind the viewing platform, a huge dragon flag was raised in the wind.

Bai Nan led Perez and the others to the place, and then he didn't care about them anymore, and at this time, the officer Xu Daorun came to talk to Bai Nan and said, "Isn't there even a flag-raising ceremony for such a military parade?" ”

Bai Nan said helplessly: "There is no official national anthem yet, how can the flag be raised." ”

Xu Daorun smashed his mouth and said, "Okay, anyway, the scale of this military parade is limited, so there is no need to make it too complicated." ”

At the military parade of the People's Republic, there were dozens of infantry phalanxes and equipment phalanxes, plus the phalanx of fighters in the air, which was really majestic and exciting. But obviously, the Tang Republic is not up to such a level, there are only three phalanxes on foot and two phalanxes on equipment, in order to achieve the effect, the troops have to be allowed to walk a little longer, and they have also added the link of queue demonstration and firepower display.

Walking at the forefront is naturally the original PLA peacekeeping battalion wearing 07 camouflage, and now their official title has become the 001 regiment of the army of the Tang Republic, of course, this regiment is seriously dissatisfied with the formation, many soldiers and non-commissioned officers of the peacekeeping battalion have been seconded, and only two battalions of 300 fighters have been formed under the regiment. These soldiers are also the most neat and imposing. When the step is kicked, the neat sound of the military boots making anyone feel that this 18x18 walking phalanx is like a person.

Pérez was almost shaken by the sound of the stomp, the Prussian army of this era was just finding a little goose step, and there was no other European country that could train its troops to such an extent. Although the demonstration of the queue does not explain anything, since ancient times, both Chinese and Western, it has been believed that an army of thousands of people has strong discipline and morale, and even if the equipment is poor and the conditions are poor, it can defeat the enemy.

Next was the phalanx of naval sailors and the cavalry phalanx of hunters, which also showed extremely high morale, and Perez and Cruzado could feel the horror in each other's eyes when they looked at each other.

Soon, the firepower demonstration session began, and the crowd became excited. The first thing to show is the army, the soldiers are shooting in a row that is very in line with this era, although it is absolutely impossible for them to line up and shoot when they are fighting, but the Ministry of Defense does not intend to let the Europeans see the real combat mode of the Tang Army. Only a platoon of soldiers, armed with M1903 rifles, fired at a row of humanoid targets about two hundred meters away, firing at the same time, each firing five rounds in succession, and the dense ammunition would knock out all the targets in that row in an instant.

Perez's eyelids jumped a few times when he saw this. His heart was already shocking: "What kind of weapon did the Tang people make, a musket that can fire continuously, and the accuracy is amazing, and it can even shoot from a distance of 200 meters, if the Spanish army is really the enemy of the Tang army, it may not have entered the range of its own musket, and it has been tortured and killed by the Tang people!" ”

And the three Japanese Type 92 heavy machine guns that appeared below, under the control of several soldiers, swept away all the three rows of humanoid targets in the front and rear, which made Pérez's heart completely confused.

"No way, no way at all! No matter how many Spanish troops come, they will not be able to defeat the Don army with such weapons! ”
