The morning sun was warm but not dazzling. We set out from the big temple and headed northeast
Only the few people under our command were accompanying us. I left the city lord and about ten of his men to guard the temple. We didn’t tell them about the jade bowl we found at night. It was a secret. I just told him to let him guard it.
Haoda Temple, the arrival of the team
With the help of the jade bowl, we actually found traces of Ren Xieye. Now he has recruited a lot of defecting slaves. From the water in the bowl, it seems that they are near the seaside now, but we can't tell where exactly.
I looked at the sky and said, "Let's go to the northeast and look for it."
Liu Yan said, "How do you know that they will definitely be in the northeast?"
"I also guessed. First of all, we can see their mosquitoes from the water, which means they are not too far away from us. They have only left us for a day and cannot go to the horizon. Secondly, the news we have received is that
Birds bring it to us with their eyes. Look at the terrain here. Going east from Dafo Mountain, you can reach the seaside in less than ten miles. But going west, at least none of us have seen the shadow of the sea, which means that there is no shadow of the sea.
Still far from the coast”
Liu Mei suddenly realized, "So that's what happened!"
"I understand, otherwise a woman cannot live without a man. Look at the current direction of the wind. It is blowing from the northeast. These days, if I remember correctly, it has been blowing like this. This wind has been blowing like this.
It is determined by the ocean climate here. The monsoon blows the plankton in the sea to the coast. There is abundant food there, attracting a large number of birds to forage there. It is not too far to fly from there, so I concluded that any
Yes, they must be over there.”
After passing the gold mine and walking further north, we saw traces of battles in the vast forest, with broken branches and messy footprints trampled on the grass. On the way we saw several small villages.
In the center of the village is a stone building
The building has a miniature female figure carved on the wall. The raised hand is hollowed out on the wall, and lamp oil is stored in it. It can be imagined that in the past, at night, the lights were lit, and the people in front of the stone building
There are people coming and going in the square, it must be a lively place
This area used to be the sphere of influence of the Dutch. Judging from the size and appearance of the empty stone buildings, this must be the command center of the Dutch. But now, this place has changed. The Dutch don't know
Every room within the stone wall was opened, and local civilians, as well as groups of slaves, were manually taking out the food stored inside and robbing it happily.
It seems that this is the record of Ren Yehao and his men. The Dutch power, which has been entrenched here for many years, did not expect to be defeated so easily. The village is surrounded by happy people, and Liujiao and Liu Mei, who are emotionally infected, are also happy.
, they said to me, "Husband, I really have you. You just taught Ren Xue a few words. Is it really so powerful?"
I said, "Wives, these are not just a few words! The key depends on what you want to express in your words." Liu Yan asked with a smile, "Then what do you mean?"
We were walking through this group of buildings, and a tall house located in the center of the building caught my interest. I took them inside and answered Liu Yan's question, "Kick away the Dutch... and then pass by."
Live like the Dutch... Look, I guess this is the house where the most noble people among the Dutch lived."
This house is a self-contained building. It is closely dependent on the surrounding stone buildings and is closely guarded by the surrounding houses. It also has its own independent protective wall. The stone wall is as high as one person and can be seen on the inside.
A shooting hole for people to stand. A few of us walked around inside and found that it only had one front door.
It is said that there is no need to look like this here. This only shows the caution of the original owner of the house and his status. Such a house can be attacked and defended, but it was captured overnight by Ren Xue's insurrectionary army.
, somewhat surprised me
Several Dutch sergeants who were already seriously injured and dying were lying on the ground inside the gate. The ground and the bricks in the corners were spattered with blood. The dead had long been taken away and buried. Because they were not dead yet, they could not do it yet.
stink so no one cares about them
A wide hall, with a high vault on top, inlaid with blue and green decorations. There are two people hugging each other on the thick pillars. Going around the pillars, there is a white jade step leading to the upper floor.
"How much does this house cost?" They had only lived in the big ship all year round, and they couldn't help but sigh at such a large room.
We walked around the whole house, and a dozen civilians and slaves rushed in. They came in to see if there was anything else that could be moved. Seeing that we, who were not angry and calm, although we were not
I know him, but he didn't show any hostility.
After a while, they moved out a white jade sculpture of a beautiful woman from a room in the building and ran out in a noisy manner.
On the vault of the hall, there was a nest of swiftlets. They were so frightened that they jumped out of the nest, hovered above the hall for a while and flew out of the window.
"Did you see that slaves also like beautiful women?" I said to them with a smile.
When I came out and stood outside, it suddenly started to rain. A group of heavily armed people passed by the gate.
I shouted toward the door, "Ren is right! Are you in there?"
We heard someone respond outside the gate, and then the team stopped, and a soaked figure appeared in front of us.
"That's right Ren, you guys are running so fast. It's only been one day and you're already here," Liujiao said to him.
Ren Xueye saw us as soon as he came in. He ran over and said hello to me and Liu Jiao and the others. It seemed that the day's battle had no impact on him. My endurance training for Ren Xueye in the past month was really effective.
Now he still looks energetic, with no signs of fatigue at all. I asked him, "How is the situation? Tell me and I'll listen."
It turned out that Ren Yeye and the others had always thought that the Dutch rule was natural and just, and they had never thought that one day they would personally come over and beat these people away.
Ren Yeye said that except for the slight difficulty encountered in capturing this stone house, the rest of the place was overwhelming.
No matter where they went, as long as they shouted the slogans I taught them, the opponent's defense line would have been shaken, and more than half of the people would have thrown away their weapons and ran towards them.
They chased the small group of people who were stubborn and resisted until they reached the eastern seashore. Some were killed on the spot, and some jumped into the sea to fend for themselves.
"Have you met their leader?" Liu Mei asked
Ren Xuewei shook his head. He said that the local people had helped search among the prisoners and dead people. Others dared not say that they knew each other, but the leader and his family were local celebrities. Even children of several years old knew them.
But they never saw the shadow of the leader and his family.
"Could he have taken advantage of the chaos and gone to Dafo Mountain? Liu Meibu asked."
"How could it be possible? I think it's impossible. From here to the south is the gold mine. They will definitely be recognized if they appear there."
Ren Yeye also said that he had not noticed these people from beginning to end. However, I think they either encountered an accident in the chaos, or they were hiding somewhere out of sight. "Ren Yeye, you are more than ten years old."
How many soldiers are there?" I remembered to ask him.
"How many... I can't tell you clearly. As soon as we arrive, the nearby residents will come over to support us. Do they count? And while rushing forward, some people will guard the captured Dutch prisoners. This is also true."
Count them together?”
There is no point in discussing this now. My attention is still on the Dutch leader. I have a curiosity about him in my heart. I want to see what kind of person he is and how he can stay peacefully on the edge of the gold mine.
After living quietly for so many years, I made sufficient preparations secretly, and then there was a sudden attack.
If such a person is not considered scheming, are there any other embarrassed people in this world? I want to see
But the current war cannot stop yet. After all, our people are improvised and are not very strong in terms of combat effectiveness. Moreover, a large number of Dutch troops are still being dragged by General Meng and others in Dafo Mountain.
I am taking advantage of this opportunity. Only by clearing out the scattered enemies around me can I concentrate my strength and carry out a large-scale annihilation of them.
"Do you have any news about your opponent?" Ren Yeye knew that I was asking about the stocky slave, and I still can't get his name. Ren Yeye said, "I only heard that he is heading south to fight now.
The momentum is not small. It is possible that he has reached the southern seaside now."
Isn't that close to our base? I wonder if King Tian and others are still there, and have General Ji reunited with them?
I gave Ren Xue and his troops the order to march to various places. Now he obeys my words. No one is surprised. He immediately gathered his troops. The slaves who were looting food not far away heard the horn.
With a loud sound, they all ran out of the crowd and joined his team, and then they set off further north with great momentum.
"What are we going to do? Not go with them?" Liu Jiao asked.
"They are deciding the battle of destiny. Why should we join in the fun? I still want to find a place with my wives to have a good sleep during this time." I asked Liujiao, "How long has it been since I last been intimate with you?"
?Have you forgotten all the time?"
I pointed to the tall stone spire building next to me and said to them, "Let's go, now that everything is peaceful here, let's go there and sleep in the big bed of the Dutch Governor."
Liu Mei is in a mood these days. When she heard what I said, she immediately agreed, "Okay, I'm just tired and I'm going to take a nap!"
I chuckled and thought to myself, I'm afraid you will be even more tired than you are now after taking a nap. The ten sergeants under my command are well-trained. They clean the inside and outside. This tallest building is my temporary command.
