Chapter 302. The camouflage of the Spaniards

"Go to the sheriff's residence, be fast. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Looking at the herald's energetic appearance, Gaskell, the Minister of Justice, also nodded, and said to him with confidence: "Convey information, there are ships in the southern seas, and the predicted destination is our port, which is suspected to be a foreign trade merchant ship, please make proper arrangements for handling." ”

"Understood!" The herald nodded at once, and with a wave of Gaskel's hand, he turned his head and retreated, and at the same time rushed quickly towards the door, and the whole person was like a whirlwind, rushing down Cape Mountain.

However, Gaskell was still a little nervous in his heart, this was the first time that he had begun to face a large number of strangers, and they were natives of this native world, and he was even more vigilant in his heart, after all, they were not the same kind of people, they were not the so-called human compatriots.

The Spaniards only recognized the Spaniards, and even the rest of Europe did not recognize them, even if there was a royal marriage, in their eyes, they were the faithful lambs who believed in God!

What's more, the natives of this world, and even the natives of this world, who believe in other foreign gods, in the eyes of the Spaniards, are a group of heretics who believe in evil gods, a group of heretics who must be purified, and must be redeemed in life before they can go to heaven to appreciate the splendor of God and repent of their sins.

As for whether to forgive or not, that is the will of God and his old man, and these Spaniards are sending them to God.

The town militia of 240 people, as a vigilant law enforcement team, is equivalent to the rank and duty of the armed police, and ordinary sailors who have drunk too much and want to gather a crowd to make trouble, it is estimated that they may not be able to resist their bayonets and advance side by side.

"Tell me to go down, and everyone be vigilant."

But Gaskell still stood up slowly, put down the documents that were still being revised in his hand, walked out of his office, glanced at the town militia who were still preparing in the house, and said: "Except for the patrol, everyone else is on standby 24 hours a day. ”

"Understood!" In the room, the militiamen who acted as the garrison law enforcement team also immediately responded energetically, apparently without waiting for Gaskel, the Minister of Justice, to give orders, they themselves already understood the upcoming challenge, and this was also the first time they had dealt with something similar, but fortunately it was not complicated.

………………………………

The sheriff's residence has also been busy, and as the news is delivered, everyone has begun to enter a state of standby.

Green is the chief minister among the cabinet ministers, second only to Levi's existence, and is the second-in-command of the entire Cape Town, and if it weren't for the reason of his status, he has even more experience than Levi.

Therefore, the current southern district of Cape Town is also in charge of Green, Saul as the Chancellor of the Exchequer, assists in the work of trade and taxation, and Gaskell, the Minister of Justice, is also fully responsible for law and order issues, so that there will not be too much chaos in the southern district, and everything will start as perfectly as possible.

The Minister of War, Wilmot, had already entered the primary fortifications of the Southern District, and all the garrisons had begun to put on alert to avoid any accidents.

On the city walls, there are town militia with flintlock muskets, while the city gates and various points are garrisoned by Barbary pirates in leather armor and armed with scimitars, and on key streets, provincial cavalry is riding slowly forward, like dragoons to maintain a deterrent inside the city.

Even in order to ensure safety, the attics of traditional houses in the southern district have been scattered and hidden two groups of 120 Spanish guerrillas, armed with long-barreled flintlock pistols, with a longer range and higher accuracy!

Admiral Hall, who had also entered the flagship at this time, was currently the only galleon in Cape Town, and continued to carry out tactical cruises along the eastern coast with twenty other dhows.

"Soon they're coming."

Thor finished his work, slowly stood up in his chair, came to the window and looked at the clear sky outside, and his brows couldn't help frowning: "I don't know what will happen." ”

"At the very least, taxes will be raised a lot, and our cities will be completely on track."

The corners of Green's mouth also had a little smile, he reached out and took out a map from the folder next to him, put it on the table in front of him, carefully studied whether there was anything else to be guarded against, and whether there was a need to arrange for someone to be stationed, and began to study and judge very seriously.

"By the way, tell our citizens."

Sitting in his chair, looking down at the map that had been sketched in front of him, which was also the current terrain around Cape Town, Green couldn't help but raise his head and said, "Tell me to go down and keep a normal mind." ”

"Understood." A militiaman who was waiting immediately nodded, he was also a herald, turned around and quickly walked out of the room, leaving the sheriff's residence along the corridor, and quickly dispersed Green's order to the Southern District, and also notified all the citizens living in the Southern District with great speed.

"Indeed, in fact, our citizens are the outsiders, the real watchdogs!"

Saul smiled slightly, nothing knows you better than the people around you, and seemingly close neighbors, work colleagues, or even friends made in the tavern could be Spaniard.

This is a disguise, a confusion of prey, after a long time, perhaps no one will care that these Spanish citizens who are hidden in the houses are actually the eyes and ears of Cape Town.

These displaced people from Spain are living people, not AI in the computer, with their own joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and they all have their own personalities and emotions, without the slightest flaw, let alone any mechanical rigidity, flesh and blood, thoughts, and loyalty.

There may be people who like money, people who like power, people who are stingy, people who are generous, people who like to drink spirits, and people who like to quote honey water alone.

All this will confuse outsiders, if there are really people who want to develop something offline for Cape Town, and just by virtue of their cleverness, they choose Spanish citizens who love to be greedy and cheap, and like money, then the power of Cape Town will completely enter this dark power.

"Alright, it's almost time."

Green took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, and he had already agreed on the time, he also pushed away the chair and stood up, and said to Sol: "His Majesty is still waiting for us." ”

"Yes." Thor also nodded, they knew that Levi had come to the southern district, after all, it was the first time it was open to the public, and the main point was located above the city gate on the south side, which allowed them to easily observe the merchant ships docking, as well as those merchants with various goods.
