Chapter 40: Interrogation
"Put"
"Bang, bang......"
Bursts of black smoke rose from the beach, and a column of firecrackers stood on the beach with firecrackers in their hands, wisps of black smoke passing between their ears and eyebrows.
Heavy buckshot bullets flew out of the hot mouth and crashed into the sea with the blood-stained wings.
"Put away the guns and change the columns."
With a low shout, a team of firecrackers quickly put away the firecrackers and subconsciously retreated.
The latter column of musketeers took advantage of the situation and took over the first row of musketeers.
"Alas,"
"Tell you to go forward, through the gap in the first column, why are you still stunned." A firecracker couldn't help but curse when he saw that several people in the second column were squirming and pinching, and he didn't have the slightest intention of going up.
"Big brother, the smoke is too big, and the smoke hurts my eyes." Several teenagers, no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, rubbed their eyes with firecrackers in one hand.
"Fuck you, is it the Tartar's gun or the black smoke."
The official spirit of the fire gun does not fight in one place, and goes up with one person and one kick.
"Oops," several people were in pain, and one of them jumped to the front.
"The bigger the smoke, the more the Tartar's arrows won't be able to hit you." The firecracker pointed to the wisps of black smoke in front of him.
"The arrows of the Tartars are like eyes, and they shoot one at a time."
"With smoke, the arrows of the Tartars are blind, and they will no longer be able to shoot accurately, you know." The firecracker squinted and said softly.
Several sixteen or seventeen-year-old young men stood in the midst of the black smoke with firearms, and they were stunned when they listened.
"I'm afraid of smoking, just your eye-rubbing skills, the tartar has already cut off your brain."
"Look, they all joined the army on the same day as you, look at the people, one shot is accurate twenty steps away." The firecracker pointed to a column of firecrackers who had just retreated,
"I can't even stand the smoke," the firecracker's expression suddenly became serious, and he stared at the few people with angry eyes.
"Lord Liu has pity on these homeless homeless people, and specially asked you to serve in the army, give you a bite to eat, look at them, and look at you again."
"My lord, I don't dare." Several half-year-old children put down their firecrackers and quickly knelt down.
"Lin Xu, come here." The firecracker shouted.
A young man of sixteen or seventeen years old came over with a firecracker.
"Go, teach these things well." The firecracker threw the token directly to the young man in front of him and turned to leave.
"Got it, sir." Lin Xu respectfully accepted the token.
Seeing the fire officer scolding and leaving, a few people, you look at me, look at you, and breathe a sigh of relief.
"This smoke is so big, it makes my eyes hurt when it smokes." One squinted and muttered.
"That is, every day when I practice guns, the sound of guns is as loud as thunder, and my ears hurt." Another complained.
As they spoke, several people laughed.
"Hey, Lin Xu, what's wrong with you." A young man with sharp eyes looked at Lin Xu's gloomy face.
"A little smoke will smoke you like this." He suddenly became furious, took the fire gun upside down, and smashed it in the face of a man.
The man was slammed into the body and fell straight down.
The rest of the people were stunned,
"Lin Xu, are you crazy?" One of them hurriedly stepped forward and helped the man up.
"I've been in the army for half a month, if it's tedious and difficult to learn, isn't it possible that I can't even put the guns and change the columns?" Lin Xu stared at a few people with a cold expression.
Several people are dumb-mouthed,
"If you want to be lazy, get out of the way as soon as possible!" He scolded.
"Lazy," the young man staggered to his feet.
"Lin Xu, just you can." He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and spat on it.
"Everyone joined the army on the same day, what are you doing here, isn't it just a bowl of rice."
"It is only right to eat the food of the official family and do things for the official family." Lin Xu looked at the people with unkind faces,
"It's been half a month, and it's cumbersome to pretend to be a gun, but I didn't force you to do it."
"Why did you all twist and pinch when you let go of the guns?"
"Think it's just you?" A young man scolded.
"If you don't know this firebolt, it's just that, haven't you played with arrows and birds before?" One shook his head and looked at Lin Xu contemptuously,
"That's why you're really stupid to practice."
"What?" Lin Xu frowned.
"You're so stupid."
"I ask you, who are they?" The man pointed to the Ming soldiers who were loading firearms on the side.
"They all fled here from the south of the mainland."
"Why did you come, it was to avoid the pursuit of the imperial court."
"Let me ask you, if they want to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, they want to return to the mainland, what does it matter to us, and why do they want us to send them to death." One of them scolded angrily.
"What do you mean?" Lin Xu was a little distracted,
"Are you stupid or not, if we really wait for us to practice, these officers and soldiers will take us back to the mainland and fight with those Eight Banners."
"Our parents took us to Luzon to beg for a living, and these officials and soldiers brought us back to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, which is a headless business, why let us do it."
"Everyone understands this, and they come here to eat,"
"It's good for you, when you enter the barracks, you are like a demon, holding a firearm as a treasure."
"If it weren't for a few of our spirit points, I guess they would have been dragged to fight with Shengfan by now." Several people glared at Lin Xu viciously.
"What about fighting Shengfan, shouldn't those Shengfan be killed?" Lin Xu was a little stunned, and his tone was a little excited.
"Those people treat me like cattle and dogs, slaughtered at will, if it weren't for the Ming army to establish Ming City, we would have been a pile of dry bones today." Lin Xu argued.
"Hehe, Mingcheng," everyone laughed.
"If it weren't for them swaggering to Luzon and grabbing the territory of Shengfan, I would have suffered from the disaster of the city gate." One of them scolded indignantly.
"Yes, we Tang people have lived in Luzon for generations, and if it weren't for them, how would we be here.
My family is originally from Fujian, my father opened a mill, and the family has lived in a nearby town for 20 years. ”
"But those Ming people couldn't beat the Tartars, so they ran to Luzon to make a fortune, and provoked the Spanish old man in Manila, my family of six, my father and brother were all killed." The man was very young, and as he spoke, he crouched down and began to cry.
Lin Xu watched silently, looking at the eldest child who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, a little overwhelmed.
"On the day he came, his sister happened to get married, and a group of Bangbangya people broke in with bright scimitars." One continued.
"Those sheng fan didn't say a word, and as soon as the knife went down, the second baby's father's head fell off, and the blood sprayed Lao Gao, who confused the face of the second baby's sister, and his sister was carried into the mill by the soldiers in a red wedding dress stained with blood."
"At that time, Erwa and a few of us happened to be hiding in the wine cellar and secretly drinking his father's wine, and we watched it like that."
Several people had red eyes, staring at Lin Xudao,
"Later, the soldiers burned down the mill again, and the poor sister was burned alive in the mill in her wedding dress." The man choked and touched the tears in the corners of his eyes,
"You say we did something wrong, we don't steal or rob, we just live our duty, but we are treated like pigs and dogs, who do we blame."
"Who are we to blame?"
"If they hadn't come to Luzon, would we Luzon Tang people be slaughtered?" One shouted.
"Yes, don't forget, Lin Xu, how did Uncle Lin die, if I hadn't pulled you that night, you would have died under these Ming sabers."
