Lord of Ming Dynasty

"Yes, he has an emperor on his head. Although he is an emperor who has lost most of his territory, he is still an emperor, and our lord is not a nobleman, and he is not accepted by those nobles. You think, the world is always ruled by the nobles, even if Our lord can eventually become a nobleman, but the way he has to go is when Nanming can restore the territory, if the Tatars win in the end, our lord will lose everything, and we will perish with him."

Sebastian thought for a while, then nodded silently.

Seeing that Sebastian was moved, Francois sat back in his seat and continued to whisper: "So we don't have to work so hard, just make do with it and make him happy. Just look at what I did. Not very satisfied?"

Before Sebastian could express his opinion, François said: "Governor Schroeder sent me a message, asking me to go back to the moat mirror and make matchlock guns for him. I don't know how he found out that I was Here, although I am a prisoner, Zhang Qiang, our lord, has already used the excuse that we were killed to perfunctory him before. I decided to cooperate with them, escape, and return to Haomenjing. What's your problem? Do you want to go with me?"

Sebastian heard this, "You mean they can get us out?"

Francois said: "Yes, the two of us used the excuse of reporting to the Governor, and then left together. I bought one of my students here. He will inform the people who connect with us and let them lie in ambush on the way. Then wipe out those Nanming officers and soldiers escorting us, and some aristocrats who have been bribed to ambush here are willing to help us escape."

Sebastian's heart beat faster, he hesitated, and finally he gritted his teeth, "Okay, two days later, we will apply to report to the Governor together with the chief of the garrison here, and then you prepare, let's escape halfway."

This wait lasted for half a month. On this day, Zhang Qiang was handling official duties in the Governor's Mansion.

Sebastian walked into his office, followed by Zhu Dayou, Zhu Dayou gave him a look, Zhang Qiang's heart tightened, what's the matter, judging from Zhu Dayou's meaning, something big must have happened.

Zhang Qiang came out from the back of the case, came to the front of the Eight Immortals table, sat down, and then looked at Sebastian who was standing, Zhu Dayou came over and whispered something in Zhang Qiang's ear, Zhang Qiang's expression changed.

Gritting his teeth, "Portuguese, Governor Schroeder, Francois."

He looked up at Sebastian and asked angrily, "Is this true?"

Sebastian knelt down on the ground, "Dear Governor, my lord, it's like this, it's been half a month, and I always responded that I couldn't get away, couldn't make up my mind, Your Excellency, my lord, forgive your subjects for their infidelity."

Zhang Qiang stood up, walked around Sebastian with his hands behind his back, looked at his cheeks and back, and thought to himself, it seems that he didn't have enough control and loyalty over him.

Half a month had passed, and he hesitated for half a month. If his loyalty was higher, maybe he would report himself that day, but it took half a month to report himself.

If the Portuguese were ready in half a month, or if they had made up their minds, maybe Francois would have escaped long ago, maybe they would hijack Sebastian and run away together, maybe they would cause great damage to their own industrial development harm.

Coincidentally, I sold another thousand matchlock guns to the system, and I have a little more mental power, so let's use it on Francois first. As for Sebastian, at least he won't run away voluntarily now, and he can still come The report shows that it is still possible to control him, at least it has caused coercion.

"Get up, I'm very pleased, you can come and tell me about this matter, your salary will be increased by 20%, plus [-] taels of silver, go back and start contacting Francois, do as you agreed, other things You don't need to worry about it." Zhang Qiang said coldly.

"It's the governor." Sebastian wiped the sweat from his forehead and exited the room.

"Zhu Dayou, get ready. We will wipe them all out tomorrow. Your intelligence work is not good enough, and you haven't done a good job of monitoring them. When you finish the task tomorrow, you will receive ten army sticks yourself, and then half a year's salary will be deducted. Let's go." After Zhang Qiang finished speaking, he picked up the teapot on the table, and poured some tea into his mouth with the spout of the teapot.

"It's my lord. A villain deserves to die for his crimes. I will do it right now, and I will definitely make up for it." Zhu Dayou was also worried, sweating profusely.

But Zhang Qiang thought viciously, "Francois, thank you for being so kind to you, so you have hidden it so deeply, I think you have been completely influenced by me, since you are not good or bad, and you are not good, then I have no choice but to Systematic mind control has been used on you, too."

Chapter 168 Ambush [-]

??Jinhua Matchlock Gun Factory, a handsome young man from Daming climbed over the fence, climbed onto the window sill of the second-floor wooden building of Jinhua Yijun Matchlock Gun Factory, reached out his hand and tapped rhythmically on the window lattice , and then heard a creak, and the window was pushed open.

"Oh, Tian Zhuangshi, you are here, come in quickly, there are patrolling soldiers nearby, don't be spotted by them."

It was Francois who spoke, and the young man who jumped into the room, if you observe carefully, you will find that it is Tian Bin, He Jin's former subordinate who escaped twice in Jinhua Mansion.

Tian Bin jumped into the room, and then asked in a low voice: "Francois, how are things going?"

François didn't answer his question, but asked instead: "Governor Schroeder really sent you to rescue us?"

Tian Bin put on a friendly smile, "Your Excellency François, isn't that obvious? Didn't you see the letter your Governor-General wrote to you? It has your Governor-General's seal and seal on it, If you don't even believe that, I have nothing to say."

He spread his hands, looking helpless.

Francois paced anxiously in the room, sighed, and seemed unable to make a decision.

Tian Bin said coldly: "Your Excellency, it's too late for you to regret it now. I have already arranged for one hundred Portuguese cavalry, one hundred cavalry, one hundred musketeers, and one hundred colony conqueror cavalry from the Dutch." , and a team of twenty Dutch snipers have already ambushed on the mountain road from Jinhua County to this place. Once Sebastian goes to report you, he will definitely bring someone to you to question you. At that time, with His force of two hundred bodyguard cavalry will surely escape death."

Francois became even more bored, he said anxiously: "Then what should I do?"

Tian Bin smiled mysteriously, "What about you, once Zhang Qiang dies and his cavalry guards die, the entire Jinhua rebel territory will be in chaos, and the Dutch and Portuguese navies will land from the sea off Taizhou County and destroy his fleet first , and then occupy Taizhou County, all the way north, hit here, and successfully accept your construction results over the past year, so many factories, 200 million people, and countless supplies, the Portuguese and the Dutch carve up the territory of the Jinhua Rebels, Don't you have to worry about it?"

Francois is still worried, "Even if Zhang Qiang is dead, he still has so many confidantes, they have so many matchlock guns every month, and Sebastian has produced hundreds of cannons for them, can you fight them?" ever?"

Tian Bin laughed and said, "Why can't we fight? Pirate Wu Liuqi's subordinates all surrendered to the Dutch. This time they also sent troops. Many pirates were bought by the Dutch. They have become the subjects of the Dutch and Portuguese. .

On the coast of Daming, not counting Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Hongkui and other sea giants, there are tens of thousands of scattered pirates. Think about it, there are so many pirates, they are familiar with the terrain, and at the same time, they are inextricably linked with the people here They may not be able to confront the regular troops of the Jinhua Rebel Army head-on, but if they are fully blossomed and they are overwhelmed, their ability and destructive power will be overwhelming. "

Francois shuddered. Those pirates, he had a deep feeling. As a Portuguese sailor, he once fought against the Daming Navy. Outsiders had to retreat.

Although they caused heavy losses to those people, their few warships still couldn't defeat the countless pirates who swarmed like locusts. Now, these pirates will use this method against themselves The government, the government must have a headache this time. "

"what can I do?"

"Besides betraying my old friend Sebastian and using his trust in me to deceive the governor, what else can I do for my country?"

he asked.

Tian Bin said: "Your Excellency needs you to protect this matchlock gun factory and the Ming students you have taught, so that they will serve Portugal in the future. If the Dutch want to take over, get those people to the Portuguese people before here." moat mirror."

"Okay, I will do it, please send a message to the governor." Francois no longer hesitated.

There was joy in Tian Bin's eyes. It's done. This time the Portuguese can give themselves a relatively high official position and a lot of money.

He glanced at the room, this room is not bad, and the Governor's Mansion is also not bad, the Governor's Mansion definitely has no place for him, it's fine if he can be the magistrate of a county.

As long as Zhang Qiang is killed and the Jinhua Rebel Army is disintegrated, the Portuguese will definitely not manage this place by themselves, they will definitely appoint them Ming people, oh no, I was already a member of the Qing Dynasty before, so I should be a member of the Qing Dynasty, just like They occupied Xiangshan, and after Haomen Jing, many Ming people and even Ming officials became their officials, and they could do it themselves.

He took one last look at François, then pushed open the window, a kite turned over, jumped directly from the second floor onto the lawn under the office building, then quickly lay down on the ground, observed carefully, and saw Francois being monitored. The soldiers of the Jinhua Rebel Army in Wa didn't look here. He quickly climbed dozens of steps on the ground, climbed over the fence and disappeared into the matchlock gun factory.

When he escaped from the heavily guarded matchlock gun factory, he looked back at the matchlock gun factory and said with a sneer, "This kind of people and this kind of arrangement just want to trap me, regardless of what grandpa did back then, who doesn't know?" The well-known Cao Shangfei in the Jianghu, the famous thief Tian Bin.

The hateful Jinhua rebels, the hateful Ming officers and soldiers, if it weren't for you, I would still be the leader of the first battalion of the rebel army, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have changed from the position of a general in the Qing Dynasty to a beggar like a beggar, a year and a half After all the hard work, I finally found someone who appreciates me. Although those are foreign devils, they also give me money and official positions, so I can still live comfortably.

With such resentment, he sneaked all the way and came to a valley not far away.

The valley was quiet, passing through a bamboo forest. Inside the bamboo forest was a small mountain village. Outside the mountain village, there were hundreds of corpses of villagers piled up in the pit.

There are also more than a dozen soldiers stationed in the village, as well as the corpses of several patrolling rebel soldiers.

Approaching the entrance of the village, he leaned down, imitated two cuckoo calls in a low voice, echoed a few times from the other side, and then heard the other side shout: "Who is the other side?"

Tian Bin said: "The lurkers return to the team, my lord."

"Come here." Several figures on the opposite side came out from behind a hillside. The leader was a Ming man, followed by several tall Portuguese soldiers with high noses, blue eyes, and they were wearing Portuguese gray-brown colonial uniforms.

Chapter 169 Ambush [-]

??Back to the camp, Tian Bin saw those Portuguese soldiers with beards, all of them were blond and blue-eyed, and they looked very aggressive. They look like savages, with feathers on their heads, or axes on their backs, and javelins in their hands, walking around in the camp.

These guys didn't put on their tin can-like armor, well, yes, it's not time to put it on yet, and that outfit is old and heavy.

Then look at the war horses in an open field. Those horses are not from China, they are all tall horses. When he was in the trench gate mirror, he saw those cavalry, and even the horses were covered with armor. At this time, the war horses did not put on armor. .
