Chapter 159: Colonel Ammale

When Colonel Amal saw Gong Chang and dozens of them suddenly appear on the deck, he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked Dongfang Yaoyang in the Franc machine: "Who are they?" What are you here for? ”

"Mr. Colonel, this is General Gong Jichang, the deputy historian of the Qing and Rivers Kingdom, and he has come to visit our warship. That shot was a warning against firing at their ships. Dongfang Yaoyang introduced Gong Changyu to the "governor" of Ammale.

"Hello, General Gong Jichang." Amal greeted Gong Changyu in stiff Chinese while holding out his large, furry hand.

Amal is half a head taller than Gong Changyu, which makes Gong Changyu very unhappy. He scolded in his heart, damn, why are Westerners generally taller than us Qinghe people? Many years later, Gong Changyu learned that the height of a nation is restricted by many factors such as climate, race, diet, etc., and the lower the temperature, the larger the person's body size.

"I'm not good, Mr. Colonel." Gong Changyu replied very impolitely, but out of courtesy, he still shook hands symbolically with Ammale.

"General, you are a self-appointed deputy envoy of the sea way, right?" Amal asked in a weird way.

"Two days ago, Prince Fu Zheng, the governor of the southeast, just promoted this general, and is responsible for the inspection of land rent, silver, and customs and taxes in the area of Macao." Gong Changyu lied, his face did not change, and his heart did not beat.

"Oh, then I'll congratulate the general." Amal sneered, "May I ask why the general came to Taipa Island today?" ”

"Let the Oriental Translator tell you this." Gong Changyu shrugged his shoulders.

Dongfang Yaoyang saw Gong Changyu's expression, and immediately understood, and immediately said in a Francophone language: "General Gong Jichang has two things to do when he comes to the island this time, first, collect the arrears of land rent from your country for 28 years since the Taoist calendar; Second, I plan to buy this ironclad battleship of your country. ”

When it comes to land rent, this is a very tricky problem. During the more than 270 years of his stay on the Macao Peninsula, he had been paying rent to the Jingming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty in a regular manner. However, when the Franc saw that the Eagle Strike Li people had opened the five trade ports of the Qing and Qing countries through the war and received a large amount of compensation, they began to be pure and pure, and they were in arrears of land rent and silver for various reasons.

The "Governor" of Amal is the behind-the-scenes operator of this debt, and now he has killed a "deputy envoy of the sea route" on the way, and with more than 100 well-equipped sailors, there are not many sailors on the Franc warship, once the fire is fired, this ship will not take advantage of the slightest advantage, so he has to reconsider the situation in front of him.

"General Gong, the emperor of your country is exempt from land rent, so we haven't paid the land rent for a long time." Amal said, tilting his head.

Gong Changyu held down his sword: "Mr. Colonel, this is your mistake." You have lived in the land of our Qinghe Kingdom for hundreds of years, and you have earned a lot of benefits, and the payment of land rent is a recognition of the exercise of sovereignty by our country. You say that our emperor is exempt from land rent, what certificate does it have? ”

Knowing that Gong Changyu knew about the special situation in Macau, Amal couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly grabbed Gong Changyu's hand: "General, we have no certificate...... Everything is negotiable. ”

"Your country ignores the existence of our Qinghe country, and colludes with the hostile forces that invade our country, especially recently helped the Eagle Strike Li and the Falansi to repair warships and provide strategic materials, what else can I discuss with you?" Gong Changyu slashed a Franc sailor with one palm, turned around the position of the fort, adjusted the gun position, and aimed at a military stronghold on Taipa Island.

"What if I don't pay the rent?" Amal said.

"Mr. Colonel, don't be embarrassed, it's better to pay the land rent and silver first, and then discuss other things with me!" Gong Changyu drew his sword and put it on Amal's shoulder.

Amal was an arrogant maniac, relying on his stout and tall body, he was not afraid of Gong Changyu, he raised his one arm and said: "I was born and died, experienced in a hundred battles, invincible. Defeat you a Kaido vice-history, and my one hand will be enough. ”

"Damn, you're even more awesome than me!" Gong Changyu stabbed Amal in the shoulder with a sword, and then kicked him to the deck.

"General Gong, don't be reckless." Dongfang Yaoyang stopped Gong Changyu and went up to help Ammale.

"Translator, don't persuade me, I'll kill this yellow-haired monster first today." Gong Chang was furious, he had never seen a foreigner with one arm and he was arguing, and he was not able to fly high.

"General, there are more people in this world who are better than you." Amal spread his hands, and then wiped the blood on his shoulder, "If you poke me with a sword, I will poke you with ten swords." There is an ancient saying in China, you don't know it, right? ”

"Ammale, this Taipa Island is the territory of my Qinghe country, believe it or not, I will immediately drive you out into the sea?" Gong Changyu shouted.

"General Gong Jichang, look, the most advanced warship of our Franc Machine Country is back." Amal leaned against the fence of the warship's control tower, pointed to a warship flying the flag of the Franc machine hundreds of meters away, and was proud, "Who drove whom into the sea, not necessarily?" ”

Gong Changyu glanced at the distance, and sure enough, it was a warship flying the Franc Aircraft flag, but after getting closer, the warship lowered the national flag again and replaced it with the West Baya flag, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Colonel Amal, you can see clearly, it is not the Franc Aircraft warship." ”

"Impossible." Amal held up the monocular and looked at it, and the warship seemed to be a Sibaya warship, like a deflated ball, and immediately went limp. The warship drove slowly and soon approached the Franc warship.

The two countries of Sibaya and Franc were once divided and merged, one was a political empire and the other was a commercial empire. The former king in the 16th century was the funniest, and he said that he naively thought that as long as he sent 6,000 soldiers, he could conquer the Jingming Dynasty, capture Yanjing at that time, and be the emperor of China, but he didn't know how fierce the Jingming Dynasty's combat effectiveness was. The latter was beaten by the sailors of the Jingming Dynasty, and it was taken by the military strength of the Jingming Dynasty that he obediently lived on the Macao Peninsula and paid the land rent to the Jingming Dynasty for more than 100 years.

At this time, the Xibaya warship was passing through the waters of Macao, and it was better to have more than less, and the Xibaya people would not give the Franc machine help to fight the Qinghe army, so the warship circled around the Franc warship and drove away.

Amale was so angry that he jumped up on the deck and scolded: "Sibaya, your warships will be overturned by strong winds and waves at the Cape of Good Hope, and they will all fall into the sea, and drown you dogs and mongrels!" ”

"General Ben has limited you to prepare 5,110 taels of silver within three days, Colonel Ammale, have you listened?" Gong Changyu shouted.

"General Gong, I won't give this silver, unless you bring out the official documents of the Governor's Mansion or the Qinghe Kingdom." Amal was dismissive.

"Come on, tie up this foreign devil for me and throw it into the sea to feed the fish!" As soon as Gong Changyu waved his hand, Zhang Weijun, Hei Dashuai, Liu Dawei, and Liu Yuntian came up, lifted Amal up, and was about to throw him into the sea.

"General, I'll give you ten years of land rent." Amal closed her eyes in fright.

"Now it's not 5,110 taels of silver, I want 10,000 taels!" Gong Changyu scraped his sword back and forth on Amal's face.

"General, aren't you blackmailing?" Amal asked.

"I'm blackmailing, what's wrong? You, an animal, have built roads on our land, forcibly dug up the ancestral graves of the common people, and forcibly collected land rent...... If I don't kill you, I'll cheapen you. Gong Changyu asked the black handsome to put down the frightened pale Amal Le down.

"General, you give me a week's time, and I promise to send the silver to the Yamen of the Panyu Governor's Mansion." Amal wiped the cold sweat from her face.

"Okay, if you don't send the money to the bullpen post in a week, I'll send someone to fetch your head, understand?" Gong Changyu put away his sword and led the soldiers down the abandoned Franc warship......

After Gong Changyu left, Amal returned to normal, eating, drinking and having fun, thinking that Gong Changyu was just scaring him, and he had long forgotten about the matter of handing over the money.

A week passed, Gong Changyu waited impatiently, feeling that he had been tricked by Ammale, and what was even more hateful was that Amal killed more than a dozen innocent villagers who resisted rent and taxes on Taipa Island, and Gong Changyu decided to get rid of this "Governor of Macao".

One day, Amal took his adjutant Li Site and galloped to Gongbei Gate. Due to the news of Dongfang Yaoyang in advance, Gong Changyu had already led people to lurk in the area of the lotus stem, and quickly arranged for the water leopard team members to prepare for the assassination operation.

Some of the water leopard team members dressed up as fruit sellers, some sold fish and vegetables as a cover, and Dai Da Niu also scattered the weeds, wild flowers and beans prepared in advance on the side of the road, waiting for Amal to throw himself into the net.

It was nearly dusk, the cool breeze was blowing, and Amal finally came. He sat on a tall horse, and came slowly, and as he drew nearer, Ammale's mount smelled the scent of flowers and beans, and stood by the side of the road eating beans, and stopped his progress.

Seeing this, Ding Xianghua hurriedly held the paper in his hand, shouted in his mouth that he was wronged, and rushed to Amal's horse. Amal didn't know the truth, he took the paper with one hand, and was about to unfold it to see what was going on, Li Dayu quickly pulled out the short knife hidden in his body and stabbed at Amal fiercely, while the others quickly surrounded him with machetes.

"Oh no, there are assassins!" Amare secretly cried out, and in a panic, he took the reins by his mouth, raised his arm, and returned fire with a musket.

It's a pity that Amal didn't have this opportunity, Li Dayu, Dai Daniu and others slashed Amal and dragged him off the horse, and after a burst of knives, Amal's head and one arm were cut off. In the midst of the chaos, Ammale's adjutant List, fled in a hurry and left the gate.
