Chapter 273 The King is coming to Goa City
Goa city.
Ming soldier Zhang Chun marched on the soft beach wearing heavy shackles, and carrying a wooden box containing Indian ivory on his shoulders.
The wooden box was as heavy as the shackles on his body, almost crushing his waist.
But Zhang Chun didn't dare to put the wooden box down, or even fall down, because once he put the wooden box down, he would be whipped by the Fo Lang robots who were watching him, and once he broke the ivory, he might even be beaten to death. .
However, Zhang Chun still raised his head and glanced at the vast sea. Ever since he followed Xia Shilang on his westward patrol and was attacked by Fo Langji's fleet, he had the misfortune to become one of the captives of Fo Langji's fleet stationed in Goa.
He still remembered that it had been four years since he was captured here, but he still hoped to see the Ming Dynasty's fleet come to take him back one day.
Snap!
Franji, the so-called Portuguese Buanxi in later generations, saw that Zhang Chun was distracted, so he whipped him and scolded Zhang Chun in Portuguese: "Despicable yellow dog, do your job seriously, or I will kill you." Throw it into the sea and feed it to the fishes!”
As he said this, Bu Anxi whipped Zhang Chun again, causing Zhang Chun's back to be bloody. The pain made Zhang Chun bite his lips tightly. He hated these Folangji people who treated him as if they were not human beings. The robot was killed by a thousand cuts, but he couldn't resist now, so he knew he could only endure it, hoping to have a chance to avenge his shame!
……
"Ah! Spare my life!"
Zhang Chun heard a miserable cry in front of him, but saw that his colleague Zheng Lun was being whipped by a group of Fo Lang robots. These Fo Lang robots even directly dragged Zheng Lun by his hair to the beach, and Zheng Lun Then he was scraped with blood all over his body by the stones on the beach!
"Let him go, he is still a fifteen-year-old child!"
Zhang Chun was so anxious that he didn't care much. He threw the wooden box on his shoulder to the ground, ran over dragging the chain, and directly pushed away the several Folanji men who were insulting Zheng Lun.
When Buduoxi, a man from Franji, saw Zhang Chun throwing a whole box of ivory that the Governor had looted on the ground, he immediately became furious. He chased after him with a whip and whipped Zhang Chun hard:
"Despicable yellow dog! Dare to break the ivory! Do you want to die! Bastard!"
"You should have the consciousness of a slave! What a bastard!"
"Since the iron chain can't lock you, then you have no need to live! I'll see if I don't kill you, this yellow dog!"
Budosi beat Zhang Chun and insulted Zhang Chun.
But Zhang Chun only blocked Zheng Lun under his body and allowed Bu Duoxi to whip him.
Several other Franji people also laughed when they saw this, and one of them named Akel also laughed: "This yellow dog is a loving and righteous slave. In this case, we might as well see what he is like." What a sense of friendship!”
As Akel said that, he kicked Zhang Chun, causing Zhang Chun to turn over and fall to the side.
Then, another Folangji person stepped on Zhang Chun's stomach. Zhang Chun couldn't help but vomited and vomited out all the acidic water in his stomach. Before he could see clearly who kicked, Another punch hit him in the eye, and stars suddenly appeared in his eyes.
These Francois from Lisbon were originally robbers who came to plunder the world, but they had suffered losses at the hands of the Ming fleet before, and even lost the route east of Manchuria, causing great losses to their interests, and then they Not taking much advantage from the Ming Dynasty's Western Patrol Fleet, they could only vent their anger on these ordinary Ming soldiers who were captured.
Zheng Lun couldn't help but tremble in fear when he saw so many Folangji men beating Zhang Chun. But he also knew that Zhang Chun was beaten because of him, so he couldn't help but kowtow and shout:
"Everyone! Please spare him, please spare him!"
These Fo Lang robots were tired for a while, so they stopped. Zhang Chun, who was already covered in blood, didn't know what time it was when he woke up. He only knew that it was night, and a bright starry sky appeared on the entire sea, and even Some stars formed the shape of a ship, and it seemed like it was a ship from the Ming Dynasty, coming to take them back.
"Brother Zhang Chun! This is a loaf of bread I stole. Eat some of it." Zheng Lun appeared at Zhang Chun's place at this time and handed over a loaf of white bread and a half-tube of water in a wooden tube.
"Thank you, little brother Zheng Lun."
Zhang Chun looked at the eastern night sky for a while, then took the bread from Zheng Lun's hand with a smile, took a bite, chewed and ate, and said: "Don't steal it next time, we are officers and soldiers, we can't You steal things, and if you are discovered, those Westerners will beat you up again”
"But I was really hungry so I had to steal it. Besides, those natives were also stealing and it would be fine. Those Westerners would rather scatter the bread in the sea than give it to us. They only let us eat a small amount. food, and then work for them, they want us to tire ourselves to death!”
Zheng Lun said.
Zhang Chun knew that when Zheng Lun was twelve years old, he was sold to Westerners by his elders for ten taels of silver to help him bury his father, and then he was brought here as a slave, but in the end he was only a fifteen-year-old A baby of 18 years old is the time for a half-grown man to eat me to death. Now, being enslaved and eating only a small amount of moldy black bread is naturally not enough. Therefore, he did not say much, just sighed and said: "You Say we still have a chance to return to Ming Dynasty? ”
Zheng Lun couldn't help but look at the eastern night sky and replied: "I don't know, Brother Zhang Chun, do you think we will die here?"
Before Zhang Chun had time to answer, at this time, several Asan natives came over with a Folangji man, pointing at Zhang Chun and Zheng Lun: "Sir, it was these two yellow dogs who stole the bread. Look, the bread is still in his hand!”
The Folangji man immediately became furious and immediately lifted Zhang Chun up, punching him so hard that he fell to the ground and his face was swollen. Seeing this, Zheng Lun shouted anxiously and pointed at the Asan natives:
"Obviously you stole it first! How dare you complain first!"
This Folangji guy couldn't understand Zheng Lun's Hakka, so he only beat Zhang Chun, and after beating Zhang Chun until he was almost alive, he left. Before leaving, he trampled on the bread Zheng Lun gave Zhang Chun. On the beach, trampled to pieces:
"The despicable yellow dog also wants to eat white bread!"
After the Buddhist monk left, Zheng Lun dared to help Zhang Chun up: "Brother Zhang Chun, are you okay?"
"I, I'm fine!"
As soon as Zhang Chun finished speaking, he immediately saw a stream of hot liquid squirting onto his face, which also smelled like urine. Zhang Chun blinked and saw that it was the Asan natives who peed on him. He was even talking and laughing at the jabbering ones, all in a mocking tone.
Seeing this, Zheng Lun was so angry that he hurriedly hit these Asan natives: "You, you are bullying people too much!"
But because Zheng Lun was handcuffed and young, he was unable to beat these Asan natives. He was pinned to the ground and beaten hard by these Asan natives.
Because Zhang Chun was covered with wounds, he could only watch and couldn't help shouting: "How can I, the Chinese people, allow you to be so humiliated! If I, Zhang Chun, have the opportunity to go back in the future, I will try my best to kill you all! You guys Bastard! You dare not resist when being bullied by Westerners, but you come to bully us!”
Snap!
A Folangji man fired a shot to stop the Asan natives from beating Zheng Lun, which scared the Asan natives and fled.
Then, Zhang Chun saw a richly dressed Buddhist man pointing at him and Zheng Lun.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Chun and Zheng Lun were dragged to a barracks by several Folangji men. Moreover, in this barracks, not only he and Zheng Lun, but also other captured Ming soldiers or The people of the Ming Dynasty who were kidnapped and trafficked.
……
At this time, Kirk, a general of the Franco fleet, was saying to Amel, the Governor of Portugal in India: "Your Excellency, Governor, are you saying that the Ming Empire is really coming to attack the city of Goa?"< br>
"It's true! This is the definite news. Their fleet has bypassed the peninsula (Indian Peninsula) and is expected to reach us soon. Last time, a huge fleet led by Marshal Didos attacked their western patrol The fleet has not been able to take advantage, and now our fleet may not be able to resist!”
Amel sighed dejectedly as he spoke.
"Then do we need to evacuate here?" Kirk asked.
"Evacuation is impossible. Our great Portuguese Empire has been operating here for decades. How can we just evacuate? There is endless wealth here, how can we hand it over to the Easterners! Even if we are willing, the king will not be willing! The nobles of the Portuguese Empire will not be willing! We can only fight to the end!”
Amel said directly.
"In this case, how should we respond? Please give us instructions, Governor-General!" Kirk asked.
"These Easterners are greedy. They already have so much wealth, but they still want to fight for our territory again and again. The city of Goa cannot be left in their hands no matter what, and I have sent people back to the country to ask for help!
In addition, I have another way. The way is the Easterners in Goa. Their empire promulgated the outline of the constitution a few years ago. Their emperor personally said that the empire has the obligation to protect its own people. , in this case, we will tie these Easterners to the battleships and forts! In this way, they will not dare to attack in a short period of time, unless they are willing to violate the constitution and bombard their people! At that time, when my reinforcements arrive, we can repel them! ”
Amel said.
Soon, the entire Folangji army in Goa City began to tie Ming army prisoners such as Zhang Chun and Zheng Lun, as well as abducted Ming people, to forts and ships.
"Asshole! Hurry up!"
The Buddhist master Buduoxi whipped Zhang Chun, who had no part of his body intact, but Zhang Chun could only grit his teeth and endure it.
At this time, Zheng Lun couldn't help but ask Zhang Chun: "Brother Zhang Chun, are they going to send us home?"
"No, they want to take us as hostages, otherwise they wouldn't tie us to the mast and the fort. It seems that my Ming Dynasty's King Master is coming to save us, so these hateful Francois are afraid!" Zhang Chun smiled.
Zheng Chun couldn't restrain his excitement: "That's great, Master Wang is here to save us!"
Zhang Chun couldn't help but shouted excitedly: "Brothers, Master Wang is coming! We can go back!"
Immediately afterwards, all the captured Ming soldiers shouted: "Master Wang is coming, we can go back!"
The entire sea was filled with the shouts of the captured Ming soldiers and the people of the Ming Dynasty. They were all voices of the Han family, full of hope and excitement!
The Folangji people were so angry that they used whips to stop the noise, but they were in vain. Whipping could not stop the Ming soldiers and people from returning home!
