The first three days after entering Champa were when Qian Wubing was most nervous. The fleet at sea could only take care of one side of Champa's territorial waters. The other side could only rely on his people to defend it with all their strength.
In the past few days, Panluo, except for gathering the people and cleaning up the city, basically he, a local snake, couldn't do much. Of course, the so-called cleaning up the city was after killing the wounded soldiers and soldiers who unfortunately stayed in the city.
After being captured, their main task is to bury the corpses. Although it is the end of the year, the temperature here is obviously different from that of the Ming Dynasty. If these corpses are not processed in time, they will soon rot. By then, the plague will prevail, and there will be no money to find the disease.
Not that many doctors come out.
The Yue soldiers who escaped from the city seemed to have disappeared into the jungle outside the city. For several days, there were not even tentative attacks. After the city gradually stabilized, Qian Wubing sent out troops into the jungle outside the city.
scout.
Soon, the news that within thirty miles of the city, except for sporadic defeated troops, almost no organized enemy troops could be seen, came back to Qian Wubing's ears. Qian Wubing's mind was tense.
That string could finally relax. It seemed that what he was worried about never happened.
Although he was full of confidence in front of Tang Yin, Qian Wubing knew that if thousands of people really came to attack the city, even if the other party failed in the end, the casualties of his own people would definitely be inevitable.
The losses can be replenished continuously, but one of his people will die. In the end, when he can no longer afford to die, even if the Champa has been eaten into his mouth, I am afraid he will have to order all his people to
Get back on the ship and get out of this place.
At the moment, it seemed that he had gotten a chance to breathe. No matter what the reason was, the opponent had already lost the opportunity if they did not counterattack before he gained a firm foothold.
Now that he could breathe, he could arrange things calmly. While letting his men take turns to rest, he unceremoniously found Panluo and gave him an order to repair the city defenses. After passing by the Yue people and the Ming Dynasty fleet, he
The city wall that was ravaged by cannons was really dilapidated. Without time to rest, it was natural to just make do with it. But now that we had time, this was the first priority.
The fleet was not idle either. More than twenty large and small cannons were unloaded from the ship. These cannons were placed on the city wall for defense. Naturally, they were not as sharp as the Ming Dynasty's general cannons, but they were better in number. On the city wall,
A door was placed more than ten feet apart. This time, even if more elephant soldiers came, Qian Wubing felt at ease - it doesn't matter if you are thick-skinned and thick-bodied, if you have the ability, you can stand up to my cannon.
Rush to the city!
Panluo took the initiative to take over the transportation task. He welcomed the fleet's willingness to dismantle so many artillery pieces and place them in Champa. He also wanted such sharp weapons. Champa was rich in wealth, but
This thing can't be bought with money, and Qian Wubing's move really moved him. You know, he once quoted a price of 20,000 taels of silver for a six-pound cannon. Looking for those things
The Portuguese and Spaniards who came here bought these firearms, but none of them sold him the artillery. Fireguns could be bought, but the price was not something he could afford.
On the tenth day, all the cannons were placed at the top of the city. Almost everyone felt relieved. At least, in a short period of time, they were not afraid of the revenge of the Yue people.
During this period, someone suggested that Qian Wubing move all the valuables in the city to the fleet. There really weren’t many valuables left in Champa City that had been looted by the Vietnamese. Those who abandoned the city and fled
The Yue people fled, but few of them were willing to throw away the things they looted, even if they threw away the weapons in their hands. Even the secret vault that Panluo, who Qian Wubing had placed high hopes on, was willing to throw away.
After opening the door, almost even the copper lamp stands on the wall had been pried away. How could we expect them to leave much for Akito?
Qian Wubing rejected this suggestion. The only valuables left were probably the royal family and the Buddha statues inlaid with gold and silver in the temples. These big guys would not be able to get rid of them for a while, so they could avoid being poisoned.
, when Qian Wubing came up with this move, Panluo and the surviving Champa people in the city were afraid that they would explode immediately.
His reason is high-sounding. At this time, it is time to calm people's hearts. We should transport things to the city. How can we care about the last thing of these poor people in this city? Besides, right now
This city can be regarded as the state capital of the Ming Dynasty. There is no reason in the world for the royal guards to rush into this government office and wipe out all the valuables inside!
When he said this, the ship owners in the fleet felt that Mr. Qian seemed to be hinting at something. When someone reminded them, many people suddenly realized it, and they all said that they did not care about such a big event, and they seemed to have failed Mr. Qian's hopes.
. They probably discussed it and decided that everyone should follow Mr. Qian to make a fortune. If it is time to bleed, if you don’t bleed some, it will be inappropriate. At worst, the blood will be used in the future, including the capital.
This place can make money back.
So, they collected a boatload of cloth and half a boatload of medicinal materials and sent them to the city. Although a lot of granaries were burned in the city, the food was still no problem at the moment, but the medicines and cloth were the most important.
Qian Wubing was naturally very impressed. He praised these merchants for a while, borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha, and then distributed these things. At this time, the situation in the city made him even more grateful to the Ming army who came to rescue them. On one side, there was massacre and
Robbery, on the one hand, aid and funding, this comparison, everyone knows how to deal with these Ming troops.
When the disaster came, many residents who had fled the city one after another slowly came back. Almost every day, some people watched from a distance with fear, while the Champa people in the city came out to speak out and call their friends.
It also dispelled many of the doubts of those who fled. At first, people came back in twos and threes, and then in groups. In more than ten days, the population of the occupying people in the city slowly climbed to 10,000.
Coming forward.
The fleet has ships patrolling the coast every day. Just as Tang Yin guessed, Lord Ruan's army is a lone army with no follow-up troops at all. It is unknown where it has been scattered after suffering a loss. Maybe at this time, they
The master thought they were still fighting their enemies on the border of Zhenla! They occupied dozens of miles around the city, whether on sea or land, and now they were the only armed forces left.
Qian Wubing looked at the sea every day and counted the days. Anyway, his documents should have arrived in the capital by now. Even if no one came from the capital, there must be a decree! Could it be that his first
