Chapter 830 is not a place to be reasonable
Gomez is a combination of adventurer with dreams + homeless man, and if he didn't get along in Brazil, he definitely wouldn't be able to come here to look up to people. The facts show that in this magnificent era, if you don't find a thicker thigh to hold, there are no bones left that are easy to be gnawed by others. Still, Gomez hopes to find a chance to make a fortune from his thighs, such as how to open the route from the Kanayama colony to Nagasaki, Japan. It's like the Dutch stole the Portuguese charts and found a route to China.
Gomez's most desired opportunity is to follow the fleet of the Ming Empire and strive to become an agent, and the rest of the problems will depend on God's arrangement. If God doesn't give him a way to live, even if the warships of the Ming Empire encounter a storm at sea, they will still be finished.
Dreams are beautiful, but reality is sobering. Walking into the hall of this headquarters, seeing two adults sitting and drinking tea, Gomez hurriedly stepped forward and bowed in greeting. Li Heng kept a straight face and didn't speak, while Dai Zhiyuan had a posture of asking for warmth, how he ate, how he dressed, whether he rested well, whether the Indian woman was obedient, and so on.
Gomez, who felt good, hadn't woken up from the leader's care, and as soon as Li Heng opened his mouth, he was a bucket of cold water: "Okay, let's get down to business." "All three speak Portuguese, and they don't even need a translator. Dai Zhiyuan looked a little embarrassed and smiled: "Gomez, there is something for you to do,......γ β
Half an hour later, when Gomez walked out of this doorway, he thought it was all dark. Dai Zhiyuan came up with a multiple-choice question, choosing one of the two, the first choice was to cross the bay and go east. Approaching the natives and buying and selling slaves back to the country. The second option is to go back to Europe, no matter what method is used to fool the craftsmen to come, and pay according to the head after transporting them. Gomez proposed the third option, selling black slaves, but was met with a smiling expression from Li Heng. Immediately cut off the idea.
After a long struggle, Gomez made the choice to return to Europe, which would allow him to get out of the place alive, even though it was contrary to his dreams. This reality tells Gomez a truth, even if you want to be a dog, you must also reflect the value you deserve. The only thing that surprised Gomez was that the colonial governor decided to send two warships and two clippers to PorterΓs-Sangra, and Gomez was on his way back. Security is greatly improved, at least don't worry about encountering pirates, and even have the opportunity to do some black, wholesome activities.
After sending Gomez, the remaining two exchanged some opinions somewhat heavily, and opened up the route to Europe, which was a must-do. This is something that can only be done by them, and this is one of their tasks. As for why it is necessary to get the population from Europe. It's easy to be willing to do it, it's better than the local natives. What if a wave of voluntary defection could be formed? Who can say for sure? Take a step back. In terms of adventurous spirit, the people of the Ming Dynasty are obviously inferior to the ghosts of Europe. Therefore, on the issue of immigration, it is better to have one more source. As for what Gomez did, the two didn't care at all, and they didn't intend to feed him in vain. When I was in Europe. Zhang Guangde made his own assertions, nothing more than hoping that this guy could gain a foothold in North America, who knew that this product went to South America, and he hadn't been able to make a name for himself. Just rush this, the original investment is in vain.

The sound of horses' hooves shattered. In the early morning, two horses, one man and two horses, appeared in the field, slowly ascending to a high ground.
After reaching out and patting the horse on the neck and calming the mount, Scout Lei Chun used his binoculars to observe the surroundings. His partner, Liu Saburo, drew a simple map with a notebook and a pencil based on his oral observations.
After the Cheyenne and Cologne Ma, there was a radical shift in the attitude of the colonial governorate towards the native natives. What started as a strategy based on striving for and cooperation has become a more flexible strategy. Those who dare to provoke, brutal revenge. The indigenous people of the North American continent are not all races such as the Cheyenne and Cologne horses, which cannot coexist peacefully.
It is necessary to treat differently, but first and foremost to ensure one's own safety. It takes a person to travel from Daming to North America in 40 days at the earliest, and it is conceivable that every Chinese who arrives in North America is an extremely valuable resource. This thing doesn't work on this continent, at least not now.
On another mountainside in the distance, there was a striking red flag shaking, Lei Chun, who put down the binoculars, took out a small red flag and shook it, and the cavalry on the opposite side immediately made a move and rode down the mountain. Lei Chun breathed a sigh of relief, took out the kettle and took a sip and said, "The scout of the Marine Corps, let's catch up, the above is waiting for news." β
On the wide field, the four horsemen on both sides who were meeting each other rolled up smoke and dust, looking close, but in fact the distance was not close, and it took ten minutes to walk to touch it. The desolation of western North America had a profound experience for these colonists from the Ming Dynasty. Even when I was training on the grassland, I could still see some yurts after a day's walk. Here, Lei Chun and Liu Saburo have been walking for a day and a half, and they haven't seen a single living person.
In a river valley that stretched to the west, Lei Chun and Liu Saburo stopped, and a mile away from each other, they could see that they were coming to scout and ride. The sound of the horses' hooves became urgent, and the two waited patiently for a while, and the scout on the opposite side stopped on the other side of the river about ten meters wide, and shouted loudly: "Brother of the infantry regiment, do you have any wine?" β
A kind of fierce man of the same kind swooped down on him, whether it was a Marine Corps or a Mountain Brigade, and the Scouts (Scouts) were a bunch of outlaws. Just look at the place where it stopped, all around are open and have an excellent line of sight, keep a certain distance between the two horses, people don't get off the horse, a little wind and grass can run at any time, at least one.
Taking off the kettle, when Lei Chun was about to throw it hard, he smiled on the other side: "Don't throw it away, wait." "After saying that, he took out a crossbow, and with a whoosh, the crossbow arrow flew over, followed by a thin rope." Find a tree and tie it. The other side shouted, the flying crossbow arrows pierced the ground, Lei Chun turned around and made a safe gesture, turned over and dismounted, picked up the crossbow arrows five meters away in front of him, glanced at the Ninon rope tied to it, and secretly scolded in his heart: "Local tyrant!" β
The Ninon rope is not something I haven't seen in Daming, but only the navy has always been equipped. No one knows how this thing came about, and very few of it flows into the people. Tied to a small tree by the river, as straight as possible, a kettle slid across the side. Lei Chun took off the kettle, hung up his kettle, and slid it back with a hard push. After talking to the other side, loosen the rope, wave your hand and turn to get on the horse. After getting on the horse, open the lid of the kettle on the opposite side and pour it out, and a hand-drawn map comes out.
"Good work, brother! I'm Lei Chun from the reconnaissance company, and after this trip, we drank together. After greeting loudly, the other side replied: "We are in Anhe Town, if you have the opportunity to come, look for Li Jingui." β
"Returned!" Lei Chun beckoned his partner, changed a horse and galloped back. As soon as he walked a while, he heard gunshots from the other side of the river valley, and quickly looked for a place to climb high and look into the distance, and found that no less than a hundred natives were chasing and killing the unlucky men of the two marines. The two seemed to have taken a shit luck, and had just climbed a mountain bag when they encountered a group of indigenous rangers. This place is not less than fifty kilometers from the town of Anhe, and the natives are quite active in this area, especially this small river, where the natives often come to drink horses.
"Hurry up and lay some tricks, I'll go and call them over." Lei Chun and Liu Saburo are old partners, and they cooperate very tacitly, one turns around and leaves, the other takes out a flare gun, loads the No. 2 bullet, and the green signal flare rises in the air with two knocks. The two people on the other side of the river immediately ran here, but fortunately, the river was not deep, and they could easily wade after slowing down. As soon as they came ashore, the natives on the opposite side caught up, and after a bow and arrow, the two rode their horses and fled, and there was a cloud of smoke and falling arrows behind their buttocks.
After taking out the range of their bows and arrows, the two men stopped and turned around, and unhurriedly lit two rounds with their rifles, and the rangers on the river were knocked over by two, in exchange for a rain of arrows out of range, and then continued to turn their horses' heads and run. Looking at their appearance, they belong to the old fritters, and they have been dealing with the natives in this wasteland for a long time.
Lei Chun smiled, but he was not in a hurry. The terrain around Kanayama is not flat, but there are not many high mountains either. It belongs to the hilly terrain, and there are more small hills. This kind of terrain is much more risky for scouts when they are active. Looking at the two who were running, Lei Chun greeted with a smile: "Run to my partner!" β
Liu Saburo finished his work a hundred meters away, waved his hand and said hello, and the two people here hurried by, not stopping at all, leaving only one sentence: "Thank you, brother." Lei Chun waved his hand, picked up his rifle and aimed, and it was not easy to hit a moving target at a distance of 300 meters. However, for Lei Chun, who has been specially trained, the moment he pulls the trigger, he knows that it is there.
Bang, without looking at the results, Lei Chun hung up his rifle and turned around and ran. Liu Saburo waited for Lei Chun to come over, quickly hung up the pull line, and followed after getting on the horse. The two of them cooperated very skillfully, Lei Chun ran fifty meters and stopped, found the pre-prepared cable, took off the eye-catching red cloth at the end of the thread, and hung the string. At this time, Liu Saburo had already passed and continued to run forward.
After doing this three times, the two ran side by side for less than fifty meters and stopped, waiting here Li Jingui and his companions smiled and watched them busy, and when the two got closer, they smiled and said: "The work is beautiful!" Lei Chun took off his rifle and said with a smile: "Pass the prize!" Overpraise! β
The four of them stopped here in a very arrogant manner, and if they paid close attention, it was not difficult to find that they were on the top of a small hill, and behind them was a small plain, and they could run for a long time if they accelerated.
With a bang, it blew up a native, startled a few horses, and the distance was only two hundred meters, and the rifle on this side rang out rhythmically, two times at a time, bang, bang, both sides were extremely skilled in shooting, loading, and shooting. (To be continued......)
