The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!

Knowing that resistance is useless, but still resisting stubbornly, it can only be said that this is the last stubbornness of the Spaniards.

Compared with the distance from his homeland, Dayu's fleet could only be at the doorstep. With Dayu's navy constantly replenishing its troops, how could the Spaniards fight against it?

So the Spanish Governor decided to surrender!

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

However, the Xiyi army that was expected in the city did not see it. Those who were holding the white flag at the top of the city were captured just now. It was just a few natives holding the white flag on their behalf.

Li Dingguo looked at the several natives kneeling on the ground, "Where are the Spaniards in the city?"

They were wearing Spanish clothes, and the large robes on their thin bodies looked like children wearing adult clothes, nondescript.

Several natives were trembling with fear, listening to the generals on the opposite side asking questions in jerky dialect. One of them, a bolder man, replied: "They ran away!"

"Ran?"

Li Dingguo's eyes widened as he was sneak-attacked by the Xiyi people, and he secretly vowed to regain his position.

I originally thought that this time I could finally avenge the blood feud and avenge the previous shame, but in the end, those Xiyi people fled without a fight.
How to say this feeling?

It was like a punch on cotton, "Where did you go?"

He was so angry that he asked without thinking. When he asked, Li Dingguo realized that their fleet at sea had surrounded them. Where else could these Xiyi people escape? The only way to escape was to land.

Sure enough, the natives pointed their fingers in the opposite direction.

These Xiyi people fled to other cities in the Malajia Kingdom, leaving a mess for Dayu's army.

Of course, Dayu's army also gained a lot. The colony of Malacca would belong to Dayu from now on, and the sailing ships docked at the port were included in the captured supplies.

Next, Li Dingguo arranged for people to take over the property and materials left by the Xiyi people, and arranged for the army to be on duty. Then, he returned to the ship and led some of the ships to continue moving forward. Malacca had already captured it. I wonder what the situation in Penang is now. ?

How is the situation in Penang?

The Yingguo people in Penang want to scold their mother. The total number of troops and merchants in their entire colony is only about 3 people. As a result, Dayu did not follow martial ethics and directly sent nearly people to attack the city. What kind of trouble is this?
Looking at the densely packed ships on the sea, the people of Eagle Country were smarter than the Spanish. They closed the city gate tightly, and the army quickly escorted their merchants to escape from another city gate.

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

Except for the natives living in the slums, all other urban areas have been emptied of people, and they have taken away all they can with their wealth. It is much cleaner than Malacca.

The city and streets were intact because they had not been baptized by the flames of war.

The generals led by Dayu looked at the neat streets and felt that it was too dreamy and a bit unreal.

Li Dingguo led the fleet to Penang, and found that the ships in the port were parked there quietly, with no damage to the hulls, while the soldiers wiped the decks leisurely, and some stood guard, but no one looked nervous at all.

He looked at his own soldiers, what was going on?

When he learned that the Yingguo people had abandoned the city and fled, and that they had occupied the city without wasting a single cannonball, Li Dingguo's feeling of being cold at high places came again.

It seemed that all the time he spent sharpening his guns in battle was in vain, leaving the enemy vulnerable to a single blow.

Li Dingguo left in high spirits and came back dejectedly. Seeing his state, Xia Jing asked in confusion, "What's going on? Penang was not captured?"

"No, just the opposite!" Li Dingguo explained the situation in Penang.

Xia Jing understood as soon as she saw his expression and couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, why don't you waste a single soldier?"

"Good is good, but"

"Okay." Xia Jing waved her hand to interrupt him, "If you want to fight and vent your anger, there will be opportunities for you. However, what is regrettable is that I originally wanted to capture some Xiyi people and send them to the mines, but I didn't want them all to run away. .”

"Mother, there are many indigenous people who want to miner this land. Why do you want to get some tall Xiyi people? Because of their height, the Xiyi people are not as good as the indigenous people in entering the mines. Envoy." Li Chengyi asked curiously.

Li Jingfu also looked at her doubtfully. 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 inwardly, "Send the army to search the local mines, and you will know the reason. We will also search the colonial plantations."

"." Li Jingfu and his son looked at each other, is there something going on here?

Malaysia's iron ore mines are ranked high in the world. For this era, iron is equal to the metal second only to gold and silver. Iron can be used to make a large number of weapons, but only a few are used in daily life.

It can be seen that this era is very short of iron, but the iron ore underground is very rich. In the final analysis, the productivity of this era is low, and the iron ore buried deep cannot be mined.

After listening to Xia Jing's words, Li Dingguo immediately arranged for people to search 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 Li Dingguo's generals to the mine.

Even though Lan Jian, who had traveled all over the world, had seen too much darkness in the world, he was shocked when he saw the situation in the mine.

He rubbed his eyes, suspecting that he was delusional. The miners in the mine were so miserable.

Each of them was skinny, wearing only underpants, and it looked like there was only skin on their bodies except bones.

How difficult of an environment does it take for a person to become like this?
And he also asked the steward here. The steward is a local aboriginal, a thorn in the aboriginal people, and was recruited by the Xiyi people to manage this mine.

The steward looked at the armed Dayu soldiers and did not dare to take Qiao, so he told them everything about the situation here.

The miners here work for up to ten hours a day and can only sleep for more than an hour except for eating.

And the daily food intake is limited to one fist-sized piece of whole grains.

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

The poor people of Dayu were captured here without their families knowing. They worked every day and night but had no guarantee of life, even if they wanted to escape.

Having traveled across the ocean to a foreign country, how difficult is it to go back?

"Register all the people of Dayu." Lan Jian ordered the soldiers who followed him.Then, he said to the supervisor in a bad tone: "Go and get some food, get more, and give one to each worker who comes to register!"

Even the most strict army does not send hungry soldiers. These inhumane guys actually starve a good man into this horrible state.

If they were released, people of all ages would believe them.

That's horrible!
The supervisors were afraid that Dayu's soldiers would not let them go. Now they knew that the Xiyi people had escaped, so they went to get food honestly.

When the food was brought, Lan Jian found that these workers did not even have the most basic bowls to eat. They only picked banana leaves and held them in their hands as bowls to drink porridge and water.

"Damn it! Next time I catch them, I must cut them into pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

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

Jiang Shui is from southern Fujian. On his way to the sea, he was caught by the Xiyi people and dragged into a boat. This was the beginning of his bad luck.

After three years and six months on the island, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to survive it.

Suddenly, Jiang Shui felt that his soul had left his body and was floating in the air.

At this time, there were rapid footsteps walking into the dilapidated thatched hut.

"Jiang Shui, how are you?"

Jiang Shui recognized that the owner of this voice was his fellow countryman, an older brother who had suffered the same fate as him, Tanaka, who was only three years older than him.

Tian Zhong found that Jiang Shui didn't respond, so he slowly squatted down and patted his cheek: "Jiang Shui, wake up! Jiang Shui"

A pale face, no matter how he photographed it, there was no response. Now Tanaka became anxious and checked his breath, and found that it was very weak. If he didn't look closely, he would have thought that this person was dead.

Tanaka left the hut in a hurry, and soon he came in again. This time he came in with a handful of water packed in banana leaves.

He lifted the river water to give him some water, but found that he closed his mouth tightly and no water could come in at all.

"Jiang Shui, hold on. Our Dayu's army is coming. We are saved. You have to hold on. My brother will take you to ask them for help and let them think of a way to save you! Then we brothers will go home together! "

After saying that, Tanaka tried his best to move the river water onto his back and staggered out.

And with the river on his back, his consciousness drifted, going home, what a longing for these two words.Just
Jiang Shui saw his relatives, and his dead grandparents. They stared at him with kind faces. After a long time, they waved to him, as if they wanted him to come to them.

Jiang Shui was very surprised as to why his grandma didn't speak when she saw him. Didn't she like to call him Xiaoman every time she saw him?
Confused in his heart, he hesitated for a while. At this moment, Jiang Shui heard Tian Zhong's call again. He felt a pain in his heart, and a warm current flowed into his throat, and he swallowed unconsciously.

"Swallow it, swallow it, he swallowed it!" Tanaka cried with joy, wiping his tears while kowtowing to Lan Jian and the others.

Lan Jian immediately helped him up: "Brother, don't be like this. You brothers share weal and woe, and your future life will be smooth."

"Thank you all for your saviors. If you hadn't come today, I'm afraid Jiang Shui's life would have ended here, wuwu." At this point, Tanaka couldn't help crying.

If the saviors didn't come today, he thought he wouldn't be able to hold on for long. He would die of exhaustion and starvation in this foreign country, and he wouldn't even be able to return to his hometown even if he died.

Lan Jian has been in the business world for many years, and it can be said that he has developed a heart of stone. But now, in a foreign country, facing the simple hometown people, his eyes can't help but become warm.

He patted Tanaka's rough hand and comforted him: "Brother, if Jiang Shui can eat something, his life is not in danger. I think your physical strength is reaching its limit, so you should hurry up and drink a bowl of porridge."

They were registering and distributing food here just now, and suddenly they saw Tanaka rushing out of the forest with the river on his back. To say he rushed out is an exaggeration.

At that time, Tanaka was carrying the river on his back all the way. He had exhausted all his strength. He relied entirely on his will to support him. Seeing that he was carrying a river full of people and ghosts, and that he was about to fall down at any time, it was still theirs. The soldiers quickly helped them over with quick eyesight and hands.

Otherwise, when they fall down, they may never wake up again.

After Lan Jian finished speaking, the discerning soldiers had already brought the porridge in front of him. Tanaka thanked him again before taking the bowl and drinking half the bowl of porridge of 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 spring breeze.

This is also the reason why Xia Jing will remember him again after two years after they were separated from Lingnan, and why the civil forces will be the first to think of him when going to sea.

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

This also gives the workers two full meals to restore their strength.

Early on the next morning, all the iron blocks were loaded onto the trucks, and the workers gathered together. Following the general's order, the team began to evacuate down the mountain in an orderly manner.

Of course, this mine cannot be abandoned, but if this mine is mined again in the future, Dayu's army will use the method of hiring workers to hire indigenous people to do work for them. Of course, Dayu will also pay them wages so that they can gain something from their work.

When the team returned to Malacca City, Lan Jian walked to Tian Zhong, saw him holding Jiang Shui, and asked with concern: "How does Jiang Shui's body feel? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Jiang Shui smiled gratefully: "Thank you for saving me, sir. The little one is much better."

Tanaka also smiled gratefully at him: "Thank you, sir, for still thinking about us. We are all fine, don't worry."

Lan Jian felt relieved after hearing what they said, "In that case, you come with me to see the master. Don't say that I am your savior from now on. If the master doesn't give the order, we won't be able to go to the mine to rescue you. If you want to thank me, just thank the master."

"My lord's master?"

Tian Zhong and Jiang Shui looked at each other with nervousness in their eyes. They simply thought Lan Jian was their master on the mountain, but they didn't expect...
"Yes." Lan Jian responded softly without explaining much, and led them towards the Governor's Mansion.

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

When the three of them arrived, the generals of the operation had already reported the situation, so Lan Jian led Jiang Shui to Tianzhong to ask for a meeting. As soon as they entered the door, the emperor's eyes fell on the two brothers in trouble.

The emperor and empress were already prepared, but when they saw the Jiang Shui brothers, they were still shocked.

During the three years of the drought in Dayu, the two of them had never seen such a thin person. This was truly skinny. His arms were really like two firewood sticks, as if they could be broken by just bending them.

Xia Jing believed that if she were a timid woman, she would have nightmares when she saw these two people in front of her. Their facial features were so thin and deformed that they really looked like evil ghosts in their dreams. (End of chapter)
