open sea

Chapter 131 Scare
The Ming army's entry into Australia brought great panic to the local barbarians.

In this land that usually relies on self-government, dozens of armed sailors carrying swords and guns can often be seen passing through the border. Every time the fleet arrives at the port, such a scene will appear.

But there have never been so many people, and it was the Ming army who drove straight in with their weapons as if they were preparing for war, and went straight into the meeting square.

There is no false prosperity, this is a wild land.

Ronin from Japan leaned against the wall in twos and threes, clasping their hands on the handle of the knife and maintaining the movement of drawing the knife.

A Ming pirate with mustache on the restaurant looked at the neatly armored Ming army with a pipe in his mouth.

The Portuguese-Yi woman put down her things and led the Yi doll out of the way, with her mouth slightly open and afraid to speak.

The Japanese craftsman holding the iron chisel rubbed his eyes, and repeated a few simple words in an exaggerated tone and unique tone.

The missionary held the Bible as if he had never seen it, and still silently baptized the believers.

As for the Frangji men, they are not like the pirates of the Ming Dynasty who have nothing to do with themselves, nor are they fighting on their own like the Japanese ronin who are employed by all parties. They have already received the news and ran out of the station, a group of more than a dozen A group of more than thirty people, led by a few nobles and captains wearing plate armor, gathered hundreds of people in the meeting square, looking in the direction of the Ming Dynasty army.

I don't know the language, and I don't know the enemy.

Like an enemy.

If Pereira, the leader of the Portuguese maritime merchants, and Father Perez were not standing together with the Australian officials, the two sides would probably have fought as soon as they met.

Chen Mu walked forward slowly, he didn't look back at his banner army, but he knew that the banner army who had never experienced war should be unstable now, and no one had experienced such a battle.

He hadn't experienced it either, so he could only prepare in his heart the confidence to fight the Portuguese here.

But he couldn't panic, and he tried his best to show a calm demeanor.

The meaning of the so-called military formation is that everyone is afraid of beating a wolf with a stick, but I think you on the left are not afraid, and you think I am not afraid on the right. Two scared people give each other courage.

As for officials, regardless of whether they are civil servants or military officials, it is often not that they are not afraid, but that they cannot be afraid.

Zhou Xing seemed to be unaware of fear, even when he suddenly saw the Portuguese army gathered together, he walked faster than Chen Mu, walking alone in the front with his head held high, leading the Macao guard and several Portuguese barbarians Step by step, he walked towards the open space of the meeting square.

It was as if he hadn't seen those Puyis with ferocious faces.

Chen Mu had to walk slowly, he was slower than those in front, but every step was steady, talking to the hundreds of households behind him from time to time.

Especially when he saw the tall fort not far from the meeting square, he patted Wei Balang and said: "Xiaoba, take a hundred households and take that fort, and go after the banner troops gather."

The reason why Chen Mu was nervous was because his banner troops were gathering in three streets towards the meeting square. Before the people arrived, if Panyi started a war, all hundreds of households would be left in a helpless situation.

But he had nothing to panic as the forest of spears began to swarm through the streets.

Fanyi did not dare to act rashly because he was fighting on his own, and missed the best opportunity to repel him.

More than [-] flag troops stood in a formation similar to the mandarin duck formation a hundred steps away from the Portuguese and Yi troops gathered in the meeting square. Next to each small flag officer stood a large shield bearer, followed by two He untied the flag army behind him with small flags and arrows on the left and right sides of the big shield, and then the gunmen and spearmen lined up.

Slowly spread out half of the meeting square in a semi-surrounding form. Wei Balang, who was at the most edge, held up his spear and took advantage of the opportunity of spreading out the formation to keep approaching the fort, and then surrounded it.

Before coming to Haojing, Chen Mu thought about the strength of the foreign barbarians from various countries on the island, Portuguese and Spanish merchants, and the hired ronin of the Japanese country countless times, even when the small flag arrows could not penetrate the plate armor Give enough ideas.

Now that these small regiments composed of maritime merchants, Portuguese soldiers, Manchurian and Indian sailors appeared in front of his eyes, Chen Mu realized that he was thinking too much.

There were not as many plate armors as he had imagined, and not as many firearms as he had imagined.

Indian bearded soldiers have long hair, daggers, bracelets, shorts, and long gowns, eager to try with a shoulder-high longbow; South Asian sailors are dark-skinned and thin, holding a sharp curved sword in their bare arms, under a brown turban It's a slightly fearful look.

Chen Mu was curious about the exotic troops, but their combat strength was not worth mentioning.

But what attracted Chen Mu's attention the most were the typical Caucasians in the opposite army. Portuguese soldiers with long guns wearing white shirts, red jackets, red trousers and boat shoes are even more eye-catching.

This seemed to make Chen Mu discover something remarkable. Some Portuguese guns had no matchsticks, and some had a large round object on the gun machine. He couldn't see it clearly, but he could be sure that there was no matchlock.

It's like a flintlock gun with a revolving fire.

"Qianhu, Deng can defeat them with a single charge!"

Deng Zilong is more eager than anyone else, this is a real fierce general, he has already ordered the three hundred households under his command to let the banner troops load their fast guns and wait for the charge.

The spears of Portuguese and Yi are long, and the spears of Zhangwu infantry in the East are not short!
Zhou Xing stopped, stood in the middle of the meeting square, and glanced at the surrounding western-style buildings like a master, then looked contemptuously at the barbarian troops from all over the world, and asked confidently: "Do you want to rebel?"

"The county magistrate asked, are you going to rebel?"

The officer guarding Macao was sweating profusely, standing beside Zhou Xing, neither staying nor staying, could only bite the bullet and translate for him in Yi language.

Chen Mu rubbed his nose from behind, especially wanting to give Zhou Xing a thumbs up—hey, that's awesome!
Ask a bunch of foreigners, are you going to rebel?

Maybe he couldn't cultivate such a wild mentality in his life. How complacent must the ruling class of a country be to ask such a question to a group of tough men with weapons in other countries?
How to say that, he has a face that is not bullied.

Chen Mu looked back at his banner troops, most of them had bullied faces, in this weird era.

People at the lower level always look like they are being bullied whether they meet officials from their own country or people from another country; officials at the upper level always look like rulers whether they meet people from their own country or officials from other countries .

The more he thought about it, the more he felt uneasy.

Chen Mu marched and set up an army, and Little Ba Ye led his troops to touch the underside of the fort with spears and overturned the gatekeepers.

On the opposite side, Pereira was not idle either, leaving the priest behind to negotiate with Zhou Xing, followed by a few military orders to list the formation of the motley army on the two wings, the spear formation in the middle, and the two horned musketeers. Then he turned around and raised his face. Pointing at Chen Mu, he said to Zhou Xing: "Let your soldiers withdraw, or we will go to war!"

"Chen Qianhu, withdraw your troops, they say they will start a war if you don't withdraw your troops!"

"Going to war is not good for you, Qianhu. If there is less exploitation and tax, the court will have to blame it!"

Ouch, I can fuck you!

"Scaring me? Take County Magistrate Zhou back!"

Chen Mu sent soldiers from his family to fight Zhou Xing, pointed at Pereira from a distance, saw Zhou Xing being framed in the formation, raised his hand and ordered in a loud voice: "The whole army obeys the order, raise the blunderbuss!"

　Good morning!
　　Some data analysts believe that there are not many follow-up readings of "Kai Hai", which makes me very disturbed when it is about to be released!
