The two of them raised their hands and looked at each other with a smile.
"I'll get together with the people from my yamen first, and then I'll come and have a drink with you later. I'll also listen to what you, the chief steward of Tamsui City, think about Tamsui City these days!"
"My lord, just go and do your business. It's important. If you want to drink with Liu, just send someone to summon him at any time!"
The messy mercenaries behind them all stepped off the ship with their eyes wide open, looking around at the young city. Some of them even showed extreme surprise or surprise in their eyes.
The city in front of them made them feel like they were in a European city, whether in terms of its architectural style or the pedestrians passing by on the simple streets. The more discerning people could even see things in the distance.
On the pointed roof, there is an eye-catching cross.
"Is this really the land of the Ming Dynasty?" Someone murmured to himself: "Why do I feel like this is a colonial city of our empire!"
Most of the pedestrians on the street have the same faces as them. There are very few Oriental faces like Mr. Qian and his subordinates, and the noisy voices everywhere are also in a language they are familiar with.
The burst of fragrance that came was not the aroma of rice from the Ming Dynasty, nor the fishy smell of rice balls from the Fuso people, but the refreshing taste of the authentic bread.
"Compared with this city, Haojing is just a scumbag!" Someone looked at the pedestrians on the street wearing decent clothes with envy and said, "Why did I go to Haojing instead of coming here?
This place is called Tamsui, right? Why haven’t you heard of it before?”
"Of course you haven't heard of it!" Someone teased with a proud tone: "A few months ago, I heard from our commander-in-chief that this place is still a barren land. Where did you hear about it?"
Everyone turned around and said oh, the one who spoke was Olivia's confidant - Dasha. This guy was wearing a Ming army uniform, and he looked quite arrogant. Anyone wearing such a military uniform.
There are not many mercenaries, they are basically captains. Of course, according to the military system of the Ming Dynasty, they should be called Xiaoqi.
"Dasha, you have been with Olivia for the longest time, tell us some news that we don't know!" Seeing Olivia talking to two Ming officials from a distance who were also wearing Ming military uniforms,
The mercenaries standing on the beach, waiting for orders, some yelled that they were not an army, and the word "disorganized" was simply engraved in their bones.
"Don't call me Dasha, call me Mati Xiaoqi, or Captain Marty!" Dasha's eyes widened. Ever since he put on this military uniform, he felt that this nickname was a bit harsh. We are now members of the Ming Empire.
I'm an officer of the Praetorian Guard. How can you guys still offend me like this?
Thinking of this, he glanced gratefully at Olivia who was smiling and talking in the distance. The eldest sister is indeed the eldest sister. Not only can she fight, she also has a smarter brain than anyone else. Following her is simply what he has done in his life.
The most correct thing.
"Captain Marty, just tell us!" Perhaps because he wanted to know more about this city, or perhaps because he was bored, the mercenary who was teasing immediately changed his name when he realized his mistake.
Seeing that he was surrounded by his companions who were waiting to hear his "inside story", Marty chuckled: "What do you want to know? Let's talk about it first. There are some things that cannot be said, but I won't say them. Don't blame me!"
"Is this city really the city of the Ming Dynasty? Why are there so few people in the Ming Dynasty! Also, these houses are not the style of the Ming Dynasty houses!" someone shouted.
"Of course it is a city of the Ming Dynasty. Do you still need to ask?" Dasha sneered: "The supreme ruler of this city is our Lord, Lord Qian. Lord Qian is the general of the Imperial Guard. This city does not belong to the Ming Dynasty.
Could it be from Fuso?"
"What about those civilians? There must be at least tens of thousands of civilians in such a big city. These people are not from the East. You know, we in Haojing only have one or two thousand people in total!"
"This is Master Qian's territory. His subjects were once citizens of Rome. Isn't it strange? The princess of Rome has a good relationship with us! Otherwise, could Master Qian build a city here and settle them?
?”
"Then our mission is over, can we stay and live here?" Someone finally asked all the questions they were most concerned about.
Even if you can't return to your hometown, it's better to live in this city where you can feel the atmosphere of your hometown everywhere than to live in a trench where you have to look at people from the Ming Dynasty everywhere!
"I really don't know about this!" Dasha spread his hands: "However, we are Lord Qian's subordinates, so we should be able to get the same treatment as his subjects. I think I should be able to!"
"You are Lord Qian's subordinates, but we are not!" Someone sighed: "We are just a group of mercenaries, or mercenaries who have betrayed Lord Qian. If I had known that Lord Qian had such a background, I would have been damned if I followed Ruian
What are you doing? Maybe now, I can put on that military uniform, take the gold as military pay, and be cool and happy!"
As soon as these words came out, the number of sighs among the mercenaries suddenly increased. Thinking about their choices at that time, many of them now regretted their choices. Of course, those companions who had died in Fuso had no time to spare.
Forget it.
"You also have a chance!"
At some point, Olivia walked up to them, followed behind her was the Ming officer who had been talking to Olivia with a smile.
"I said in Fuso that for the mistakes you have made before, as long as you show your loyalty and bravery, you will have a chance to make up for it. But now, Mr. Qian has given you this opportunity to make up for it. If you don't work hard,
How can you dedicate your loyalty and bravery to your lord and sigh here, is this what a warrior does?"
"Do we really have a chance?" someone shouted in disbelief.
"Yes!" Olivia nodded without hesitation, "You know what we are here for, right? Yes, you all know that we are here to fight a rebellion that threatens this city.
The army is fighting, and I was just honored to be told by Master Yan that I, Olivia, can have fifty direct subordinates, and fifty people will be born from you, and once
If you become one of these fifty people, then you are no longer mercenaries, but brave soldiers of the Ming Empire, soldiers of the Ming Empire who serve His Majesty the most noble Emperor of the Ming Empire and the wise Lord Qian. You
Of course you have the right to live in any city in the Ming Empire."
The corners of Olivia's mouth turned up: "It's not just as simple as living here, there are many beautiful girls here. Maybe, you will get married here, have children, and live a life that you never dared to think about before!"
The eyes of the mercenaries became brighter. All their past mistakes could be forgiven, and they could become soldiers or officers like Dasha, with a golden military salary. This kind of thing sounded like a dream, and even more so.
Not to mention what Olivia said later, marrying wives, having children, many mercenaries even glanced at the pedestrians on the street, as if their future wives were among these pedestrians.
The officer of the Ming Dynasty saw that the morale of these mercenaries was boosted by Olivia, and whispered a few words in Olivia's ear. Olivia nodded, and then said loudly: "
Master Yan said that his army also needs to add some soldiers. However, the Imperial Guard is the elite force of the Ming Dynasty. His army only needs warriors, not cowards. If you have this ability, he welcomes you to become
His men!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the mercenaries exploded with a bang.
The Imperial Guards, these are the Imperial Guards. This is no longer to make up for the mistakes they have committed, but to put a golden avenue in front of them. Perhaps, one day in this life, among these people,
, there will be a general!
Qian Wubing was startled by the commotion behind him, looked back, and shook his head slightly.
"Sir, these people have no discipline, can they be used?" Beside him, an elder of the Li people asked worriedly. The Li people's soldiers pay the most attention to discipline, and he really doesn't like this bunch of rabble.
"It's okay, we won't put our hope of victory on them. These people also have their uses. After you go back, mobilize them immediately. At the moment, there is no peace and harmony around us, and you don't want to worry about your own.
My family is always under threat from enemies, so no matter how difficult it is, this group of enemies must be eliminated!"
"We understand!" Several Li people elders looked serious. Qian Wubing was right. This is not a matter of Qian Wubing alone, but the safety of the new home that the Li people finally found. For hundreds of years,
Their expectations, and now they finally have their own city, they will never allow anyone to destroy their hopes for generations.
"The number of enemies is probably more than 2,000, maybe more. Yan Baihu told us the intelligence they detected. The city needs to be defended. It is estimated that the number of soldiers we can mobilize will not be much more than the enemy!" There are also seniors among the elders.
Yes, he expressed his worries to Qian Wubing.
"However, the enemy does not have our continuous supply of ordnance and our continuous supply of food, right?" Qian Wubing said with a confident look on his face: "They do not have the ready support of our powerful fleet!
"
He looked at the sea in the distance and pointed outward: "Outside our fleet, there is an entire fleet of the Ming Dynasty, blocking this sea area and ensuring our supply, and we only need to drill
It's enough to go into this dense jungle and catch these guys hiding there like mice and kill them. Could it be that such a victory is difficult for us brave warriors?"
Inspector Liu, thank you for your hard work!"
"Master Qian, you're welcome!"
The two of them raised their hands and looked at each other with a smile.
"I'll get together with the people from my yamen first, and then I'll come and have a drink with you later. I'll also listen to what you, the chief steward of Tamsui City, think about Tamsui City these days!"
"My lord, just go and do your business. It's important. If you want to drink with Liu, just send someone to summon him at any time!"
