Knowing that resistance is useless, he has been stubbornly resisting, which can only be said to be the last stubbornness of the Spaniards.

Compared with the distance from his homeland, Dayu's fleet can only be at the doorstep, and the continuous replenishment of Dayu's navy, how can they fight against the Spaniards?

So the Spanish governor decided to surrender!

Dayu soldiers jumped off the boat and rushed into the city gate as fast as possible, and the people in the city were already so frightened that they didn't know where to hide.

And the Xiyi army conceived in the city did not see it, and the one who raised the white flag at the head of the city just now was captured, but a few natives carried the white flag on their behalf.

Li Dingguo looked at the few natives kneeling on the ground, "What about the Spaniards in the city?" ”

They were dressed in Spanish clothes, and their oversized robes were worn on their skinny bodies, which looked like children wore the clothes of adults, and they were nondescript.

Several natives trembled with fright, and listened to the general on the other side ask in jerky vernacular, and one of them, a bolder man, replied, "They ran away!" ”

"Ran away?"

Li Dingguo's eyes widened, and he was attacked by the Xiyi people, and secretly vowed to find the field in his heart.

originally thought that this time he could finally take revenge on his blood hatred and shame, but as a result, those Xiyi people fled without a fight

What do you say about this feeling?

It's like a punch on cotton, "Where are you going?" ”

I was so angry that I didn't think about it, and when the question came out, Li Dingguo reacted, their fleet at sea had been surrounded, where else could these Xiyi people flee, and the only way to escape was land.

Sure enough, the native backpointed in the opposite direction.

These Xiyi people fled to other cities in the country of Malaga, leaving a mess for the Dayu army.

Of course, Dayu's army has gained a lot, and the colony of Malacca will belong to Dayu in the future, and the sailing ships docked at the port are counted in the captured materials.

Next, Li Dingguo arranged for someone to take over the property and materials left by the Xiyi people, and arranged for the army to be on duty, and then, he returned to the ship and led a part of the ships to continue to advance, Malacca has been taken, I don't know what is the situation in Penang now?

What is the situation in Penang?

The Eagle people in Penang want to scold their mother, and the army and merchants of their entire colony add up to only about 2,000 people, but Dayu does not talk about martial arts, and directly sent nearly 30,000 people to attack the city, what kind of trouble is this?

Looking at the dense ships on the sea, the eagles were smarter than the Spaniards, and they closed the gates, and the army quickly escorted the merchants of the country to escape from the other gate.

When Dayu's army broke through the city gate without spending a single soldier, it was found that the city had become an empty city.

Except for the natives who live in the slums, all the other urban areas are empty, and everything they can take with them is much cleaner than Malacca.

The city and the streets are intact because they have not been baptized by the fire.

The generals led by Dayu looked at the neat streets and felt too dreamy, a little unreal.

Li Dingguo led the fleet to Penang, and found that the ships in the harbor were quietly parked there, and the hulls were undamaged, while the soldiers were leisurely wiping the deck, and some were standing guard, but everyone did not look nervous.

Look at your own soldiers, what's going on?

When he learned that the people of the Eagle Kingdom abandoned the city and fled, and they occupied the city without wasting even a single shell, Li Dingguo's feeling of being cold from a high place came again.

It seems that all this effort he has done in vain to sharpen his guns, and the enemy is not vulnerable at all.

Li Dingguo walked away in high spirits and came back dejectedly, Xia Jing saw his state and asked curiously, "What's wrong?" Penang was not taken? ”

"No, quite the opposite!" Lee Ting-kook told him about the situation in Penang.

Xia Jing understood his expression as soon as she saw it, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, isn't it good that you don't have to spend a single soldier?" ”

"Good is good, but"

"Alright." Xia Jing waved her hand to interrupt him, "If you want to fight, there is a chance for you." However, it is a pity that I wanted to capture some Xiyi people and send them to the mine, but I didn't want to let them all run away. ”

"Queen Mother, there are many natives who want the land of miners, so why do you want to get some Xiyi people with tall cattle and horses? Speaking of which, because of the height of the Xiyi people, they are not as good as the natives when they enter the mines. Li Chengyi asked curiously.

Li Jingfu also looked at her suspiciously, could it be that she had a blood feud with the Xiyi people.

Xia Jing looked at the eyes of the father and son, and sighed in her heart, "You send the army to search the local mines, and you will know the reason, and the plantations in the colony will also be searched." ”

“.” Li Jingfu's father and son glanced at each other, what is going on here?

Malaysia's iron ore is ranked in the top position in the world, iron for this era, equal to gold and silver metal is equal to gold, iron can be made into a large number of weapons, used in life are a minority.

It can be seen that this era is very short of iron, but the iron ore under the ground is very rich, in the final analysis, the productivity of this era is low, and the iron ore buried in the depths cannot be mined.

Li Dingguo listened to Xia Jing's words and immediately arranged for someone to search the nearby mines, no matter what? The mines must be controlled by themselves.

Lan Jian was curious about the situation in the mine, so he followed the generals under Li Dingguo's command to the mine.

Even if Lan Jian, who traveled from south to north, had seen too much darkness in the world, when he saw the situation on the mine, he was shocked.

He rubbed his eyes, suspecting that he had delusional vision, that these miners in the mine were too miserable.

Everyone was skinny, wearing only one pair of pants, and they looked like they had only one skin left but bones.

How difficult is it for this environment to make people like this?

And he also asked the steward here, who was a local native, a thorn in the native, and was recruited by the Xiyi people to manage the mine.

The steward looked at the Dayu soldiers with weapons, and didn't dare to take Qiao, so he told them about the situation here.

The miners here work up to ten hours a day, and the rest of the time they can only sleep for more than an hour except for food.

And the amount of food per day only controls a fist-sized coarse grain.

What made him even more angry was that after interrogation, more than half of the miners here were laborers they had captured from the coast of Dayu.

Poor Dayu people, who were arrested here without the knowledge of their families, worked every day and night, but their lives were not guaranteed, even if they wanted to escape.

How difficult is it to go back to a foreign country across the ocean?

"Register all the Dayu people." Lan Jian ordered the soldiers who followed.

Then, in an unkind tone, he said to the overseer: "Go and get some food, get more, and give one to each of the workers who come to register!" ”

Even the strictest army doesn't send hungry soldiers, and these inhuman fellows can starve a good prime of life like this.

If it is released, these people say that there are seventy or eighty people who believe it.

It's miserable!

The overseer was afraid that the Dayu soldiers would not let them go, and now they knew that the Xiyi people had fled, so they went to get food honestly.

When the food came, Lan Jian found that these laborers didn't even have the least bowl for eating, and they just picked a piece of banana leaf and held it in the palm of their hand as a bowl to drink porridge water.

"Damn! Next time I catch them, I must cut them with a thousand knives to solve the hatred in my heart! ”

The soldiers who distributed the food couldn't help it, turned around and secretly wiped away their tears, turned around again, and seriously helped them distribute the food.

Jiang Shui is a native of southern Fujian, and was caught and dragged onto a boat by the Xiyi people on a way to the sea, which was the beginning of his doom.

After three years and six months on the island, he was afraid that he would not be able to survive.

In a trance, Jiang Shui felt that his soul was detached from his body and floated in the air.

At this moment, there were hurried footsteps into the dilapidated grass hut.

"Jiang Shui, how are you?"

Jiang Shui heard that the owner of this voice was his fellow villager, an older brother who was just as miserable as him, and his little brother Tanaka, who was only three years older than him.

Tian found that Jiang Shui did not react, slowly squatted down, and patted his cheek: "Jiang Shui, wake up!" River water"

A pale face, no matter how he patted it, there was no response, now Tanaka was anxious, probed his breath, and found that it was very weak, if you don't look closely, you think this is already a dead person.

Tanaka hurried out of the hut, and after a while he came in again, this time with an extra handful of water filled with banana leaves.

He picked up the river and wanted to feed some water, but found that he kept his mouth shut and the water could not be fed at all.

"Jiang Shui, you hold on, our Dayu's army is here, we are saved, you have to hold on, my brother will take you to ask them for help, let them think of a way to save you!" Then our brothers will go home together! ”

With that, Tanaka tried his best to move the river to his back, and staggered out.

And the river on his back, his consciousness drifted, and he went home, what a yearning for two words. Just

Jiang Shui saw his relatives, and it was his dead grandmother, and they stared at him kindly, and after a long time, they beckoned to him, as if they wanted him to come to them.

Jiang Shui was very strange, why didn't grandma speak when she saw him, didn't she like to call him Xiaoman the most every time she saw him before?

Doubting in his heart, he hesitated for a while, that is, at this time, Jiang Shui heard the call of the field again, and felt a pain in the middle of the person, and a warm current flowed into his throat, and he swallowed it unconsciously.

"Swallowed, swallowed, swallowed!" Tanaka wept with joy, wiping his tears while kowtowing to Lan Jian.

Lan Jian immediately helped him up: "Brother, don't be like this, your brothers share weal and woe, and if your future life is extremely Tailai, it will be a smooth road." ”

"Thank you for saving your life, if you don't come today, I'm afraid. The fate of the river is about to be extinct here, woo." Speaking of this, Tanaka couldn't help but cry.

If the life-saving benefactors did not come today, he thought that he would not be able to last long, and he would die of exhaustion and starvation in this foreign land, and he would not even be able to return to his hometown after dying.

Lan Jian has been up and down in the business world for many years, and it can be said that he has long been trained to be hard-hearted, but at this moment, in a foreign country, facing the simple hometown people, his irrepressible eyes are warm.

He patted Tanaka's rough hand and comforted: "Brother, if Jiang Shui can eat something, you won't have to worry about your life, I see that your physical strength is almost at the limit, so you should hurry up and drink a bowl of porridge." ”

Just now they were registering here to distribute food, and suddenly they saw the fields rushing out of the forest with the river water on their backs, and it would be an exaggeration to say that they had rushed out.

At that time, Tanaka came all the way with the river on his back, and he had exhausted all his physical strength, and he was completely relying on his will to support him.

Otherwise, when they fall, I am afraid that neither of them will be able to wake up again.

Lan Jian's words fell, and the discerning soldier had already brought the porridge to him, and Tanaka thanked him again, so he took the bowl and drank half a bowl of porridge with a suitable temperature.

It can be seen from the details that Lan Jian is a very thoughtful person, and getting along with him will make you feel like a spring breeze.

This is also the reason why they have been separated from Lingnan, and after two years, Xia Jing will remember him again, and the reason why the civil forces who need to go to sea will think of him first.

This is an iron mine, and the general in charge of the operation has to arrange for the removal of the half-finished iron, and the team has no way to go down the mountain that day.

This also happens to allow the laborers to eat two full meals, which can allow them to recover their strength.

Early the next morning, all the iron was loaded, and the laborers were gathered, and with the order of the general, the team began to evacuate down the mountain in an orderly manner.

Of course, this mine cannot be abandoned, but in the future, this mine will be mined, Dayu's army will use the way of hiring workers, hiring natives to do things for them, of course, Dayu will also pay wages, so that they can get something from their labor.

When the team returned to Malacca City, Lan Jian walked to Tanaka's side, saw him holding Jiang Shui, and asked with concern: "How does Jiang Shui's body feel?" Still uncomfortable? ”

Jiang Shui smiled gratefully: "Thank you for your life-saving grace, the smaller ones are much better." ”

Tanaka also smiled at him gratefully: "Thank you, Lord for still thinking about us, we are all fine, you can rest assured." ”

Lan Jian listened to their words, and felt a lot more relieved, "In this case, you go with me to meet the master, don't say that I am your life-saving benefactor in the future, if the master doesn't give the order, we can't go to the mine to save you, if you want to thank the master, thank the master." ”

"Your lord?"

Tanaka and Jiang Shui glanced at each other, there was a nervous look in their eyes, they simply thought that Lan Jian was the master on the mountain, but they didn't expect it.

"Hmm." Lan Jian didn't explain too much, answered softly, and led them to the governor's mansion.

When they arrived at the Governor's Palace, Lan Jian took the two of them to wash up first, and then went to the front hall after washing up.

By the time the three of them arrived, the general of the operation had already finished reporting the situation, so Lan Jian led Jiang Shui Tian Zhong to ask for a meeting, and as soon as he entered the door, the emperor's eyes fell on the two brothers in distress.

The emperor and queen were already prepared in their hearts, and when they really saw the Jiang Shui brothers, they were still shocked in their hearts.

In the three years of the drought in Dayu, the two have never seen such a thin person, this is the real skinny, the two arms are really like two firewood sticks, as if they can be broken at will.

Xia Jing believes that if she is a timid woman, she will definitely have nightmares when she sees these two people in front of her, and their facial features are so thin and deformed, they are really like the evil ghosts in their dreams.
