Chapter 237: Mutiny
With the light and sound of fireworks, like a signal of battle, the soldiers everywhere in Li Guo organized their actions.
No one carried firearms, and carrying them would alert the Portuguese. But every soldier carried a waist knife, and cold weapons were still dominant in close-range combat, after all, firearms at that time were arquebuses, which needed to be ignited.
But in most places there were no weapons at all, and the Portuguese soldiers were almost drunk, and many of them had already fallen to the ground, snorting, and had no ability to resist at all. Coupled with the fact that they have very few manpower, it is very easy for Li Guo's soldiers to catch one. Under the command of Gu Ying, Ma Shiyao and others, these Portuguese soldiers were either dragged or carried, all tied up, and were centralized in one place for management.
And Luo Hu is leading 3,000 elite soldiers into the Malacca Governor's Palace.
The beautiful dance music that permeates the dance floor makes people forget about their troubles and things outside. But with the uproar, a large number of Li Guo soldiers with large knives rushed in, and they quickly took control of the situation.
"What's going on?" "What happened?" The Portuguese were bewildered.
Li Guo also looked innocent.
Luo Hu walked up to Li Guo and stammered in half-baked Portuguese. During this time, a large number of generals, including Li Guo, were learning Portuguese, just like Li Guo and Talina could speak clearly without translation.
Luo Hu said to Li Guo, "General, now that we are dissatisfied with your management and have mutinied, please keep quiet with your Portuguese friends." Otherwise, the sword will meet each other! ”
The Portuguese at the dance scene were stunned, and Talinea, who was dancing with Li Guo, trembled a little and her face was a little pale.
Li Guo gently patted Tarina on the shoulder. A few words of comfort in a soft voice.
Then, Li Guo said loudly, "Gentlemen and ladies, don't panic! I don't know what's going on, but I ask you to trust me, I have the ability to control the whole situation, I can keep everyone safe, and I hope you don't get scared. Please be quiet and patient, and do not try to resist. so as not to get hurt! ”
Faced with the sharp blades of steel, the Portuguese gave up their resistance. A Portuguese officer wanted to pose as a knight, as if he was going to make a move. Luo Hu cares about you, it's a knife when you go up. Of course. Luo Hu didn't want to hack him to death, but to scare him. However, Luo Hu's knife cut a long cut on the Portuguese officer. The wound was not deep, the wound was not serious, but the wound was long, the blood was flowing, and the situation looked very scary.
After all, Tarina was just eighteen years old, and she trembled with fear when she saw this scene. Li Guo hurriedly took him in his arms with his hands, trying not to frighten him.
Carlos, the Governor of Malacca, shouted a protest to Li Guo, "General Li Guo. I lodge a strong protest! What the hell is going on, we need you to give a reasonable explanation. ”
Protest? That's the act of the weak! The strong don't bother to protest, if you provoke me, I'll beat you! Li Guo sneered in his heart.
But Li Guo put on the appearance of a Westerner. Spread his hands and said, "I don't know what's going on, but I'm sure I'll figure it out soon." Now, restrain your people and keep them calm. I'll go see the situation now. After saying that, Li Guo went out.
The Portuguese of Macau, such as Lida and Ricci, were not restricted in their freedom. They hurried out. Lida and Ricci asked Li Guo in a daze, "Master Tiger, what happened?" It was too sudden. ”
Li Guo hurriedly said to the two people, "What are you doing with you?" Am I investigating? Hurry back and reassure the others, lest there be any conflict and accidental injury. Don't worry, I'm fine. Don't you know me? You pat your own heart, after you follow me, will I be good to you? ”
When the two of them heard this, Li Guo was indeed good to them, the Portuguese who had been stationed in Macao, and had never treated them badly. Lida and Ricci are now willing to pledge their allegiance to Li Guo, but this incident is so sudden that everyone, including them, has not yet reacted.
After listening to Li Guo's words, Li Da and Ricci remembered that Li Guo was good, so they turned around and went into the house, and together with the other officers and soldiers who were originally stationed in Macao, they appeased the love of the Portuguese in Malacca according to Li Guo's request.
Li Guo was still standing outside, he waited for a while, and news began to come from all over the place. Including the port of Malacca and the eight warships in the port, all of them have now been charged with zhì, and they are all surnamed Li. Li Guo clapped his hands and said that things were done beautifully, and no one was killed in the entire operation to capture Malacca, and not even a larger weapon fight occurred.
Li Guo nodded, very satisfied, and happily turned around and walked into the room.
Inside the house, Lida and Ricci Ricci were still talking to the Portuguese in Malacca, telling about Lee's good life.
"General Li Guo is actually a very good person, and he is very good to the Portuguese officers and soldiers in Macao." Ricci said.
"yes, you know what? This viscount of mine was awarded by General Li Guo, and General Li Guo is very powerful, and he is qualified to reward others. But although General Li is very powerful, his people are very kind and kind, so let's not panic. Lida also said.
In this way, at least the atmosphere in the room began to gradually calm down, and people's feelings gradually eased.
And Li Guo also walked into the house at this time.
The Portuguese, including the Governor of Malacca, Carlos, as well as Lida and Ricci and others, hurriedly stepped forward and asked Li Guo about the situation.
Li Guo's face was extremely solemn, but his tone was slightly relaxed, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that these officers and soldiers think that their combat exploits have been neglected, and they think that they deserve better rewards and treatment, so they mutinied." ”
"But what does this have to do with us?" The Governor of Malacca, Carlos, asked innocently.
"Actually, this has nothing to do with you, but who let you catch up?" Li Guo looks more innocent than Carlos.
"What then?" Carlos asked.
"These soldiers don't dare to do anything to me, and no one dares to disrespect me. Moreover, after returning to Guangxi, I issued a military order, forgave them for their sins, rewarded them for their military exploits, and it was over. Li Guo said.
"But what about us?" Carlos hurriedly said and gestured.
"Alas! The difficulty is for you. Li Guo sighed, "They think you are my friends, so they are ready to take you hostage." Then, after I returned to Guangxi, I stamped the proclamation of the exoneration and reward of them with the official seal left in Guangxi, and I personally sent the proclamation back, and they were willing to release you. ”
"Huh?! How long will that take? Governor Carlos and the others were dumbfounded.
Li Guo scratched his head, "It won't be too long, if there are not many things in Guangxi, I will be back in half a year at most." ”
Isn't that long? Carlos and the others were completely speechless.
"That's not what I'm most worried about, because the mutinous soldiers are all murderers on the battlefield, and when I'm not by your side, in order to vent their anger, they are likely to kill people!" Li Guo began to intimidate.
"What then?" Carlos was even more anxious.
"There's no way." Li Guo shook his head, "Unless, you guys go with me first!" (To be continued)
