1904: Little tricks
Standing on a section of the city wall halfway up the mountain, Qin Wuyao looked at the sea in the distance. The white waves were foaming, and they kept pushing forward from afar, and finally pounced on the silver-white beach in front of him until they were exhausted. Then, they retreated. Then, they were not far away, and were pushed up again by a new wave of waves.
The beach is sparsely sparse with tall straight trees that are more than ten meters tall. The fruits on it are called coconuts. They are a unique product on this island and one of the most popular fruits on these islands in the Ming Dynasty.
"It's so beautiful here!" Qin Wu took a deep breath of fresh air and couldn't help but say to the two generals around him, Fan Chang and Murong Fu.
Here is indeed a grand scene, with sunshine, beaches, waves, and cactus combined together, which is enough to make people like Qin Wu nostalgic. However, his feelings are now said to be unhuman. Whether it is Fan Chang or Murong Fu, in their eyes, this place does not seem to be different from other places in Pattaya. If you have to say it, Xun is that this large white beach here is very different from other places, which allows them to take a look.
"This is a good place to land." Fan Chang pointed to the long and wide beach in front and said: "There is enough room for buffering for the enemy to build a beachhead and then launch an attack. For the attackers, they can only establish a defensive position on this ridge."
Murong Fu nodded repeatedly: "Mr. Ning surveyed the depth of the water here. Although this kind of beach seems to extend to the depths of the ocean, it is not the same thing at all. After a dozen meters ahead, the depth of the water becomes a steep cliff and falls like a knee. From the depth of the water, it reaches several meters or even dozens of meters in a row. This allows large warships to approach the beach, and small ships can even rush up the beach with the waves."
"Where can our gun range reach?" Fan Chang looked at his feet, then looked away, and asked.
"It can almost cover the entire beach!" Murong Fu said with a smile: "General Chen Ci also believes that once the enemy lands in Pattaya, the best choice will definitely be here, so we set up a death trap for them here, and the defense is the strongest, and dozens of cannons were arranged. At that time, countless mines will be buried on this hillside. At that time, let the Western country bumpkins see the power of hot weapons."
Fan Chang opened his mouth and said for a while: "Didn't Mr. Ning say that he should try his best to capture these people as prisoners and sell them to be coolies? They were all killed, but they were worthless."
"Brother Fan, the first one to land must be the most elite troops. And such people have their own pride. I just ask you, if you are captured, will you go to work as a coolie?" Murong Fu asked.
"I would rather die!" Fan Chang said decisively.
"That's all. Since those people are elites, they naturally have the same pride as us. No matter who they are or where they are, they have the same heart." Murong Fu said: "I respect such people and like such people as my friends, but I hate them as my enemies. Since they are enemies, I might as well kill them early."
"That's right." Fan Chang looked like he was taught, "kill their elites, and the remaining slags will be easy to deal with. I think they are shameless."
"That's the reason!" Two burly men looked at me and looked at you, looking at each other with heroes and smiling at each other.
This scene made Qin Wu feel chilled. Such a beautiful landscape painting was bloody by these two guys in a blink of an eye. When he turned around and looked at the silver-white beach, the beautiful scenery was no longer there. What appeared in front of him was a scene of artillery fire. Countless broken arms and limbs were flying in the sky, and countless blood dyed the silver-white beach bright red.
"Let's go, let's go, I really regret bringing you here to see the scenery!" Qin Wu shook his head, "Go to the fortress over there to take a look. There are still many people working there!"
Qin Wu carried his hands behind his back and walked towards the top of the mountain first. Murong Fu and Fan Chang, who were following behind, were still chatting about how to kill more enemies more effectively.
Fan Chang was the commander of Qin Wu's personal guard, so he would naturally follow Qin Wu all the way, while Murong Fu was sent by Ning Zeyuan and others to assist in protecting Qin Wu. Qin Wu's identity was too sensitive and important, and Pattaya was not completely peaceful now. Don't say anything happened. Even if Qin Wu was frightened, these people would probably be unable to sleep or eat. Murong Fu is a powerful general. The troops he led were all very good at fighting in the mountains that Qin Feng was going to come this time. Of course, in addition to these two open characters, Wang Xianrong's eagle falcon also divided some of his hands to follow him secretly. Of course, Qin Wu would not know about this.
Standing in the completed fortress, looking down, a long winding and curved city wall lying quietly on the hillside like a long gray snake. Some gaps that had not yet been closed, dense crowds of people were working sweating profusely.
After watching for a while, Qin Wu suddenly pointed to a place and asked, "Why are there many of these people wearing shackles?"
"Your Highness, those are some Pattaya people. They are naturally restless. If they don't put shackles on them, how can they make them work honestly?" Murong Fu said.
"There are still people who are dissatisfied with Pattaya?" Qin Wu raised his eyebrows. Pattaya was a group that Ning Zeyuan decided to completely eliminate. In the battles between Manzhu Harbor and Pattaya, they killed blood and flowed into rivers. In the end, hundreds of thousands of people were escorted to the Ming Dynasty, enriching them to areas such as Cenzhou, with many people few people, and locked up in farms to create wealth for the Ming Dynasty. The remaining people in Pattaya all had cooperated with the Ming Dynasty in the past, that is, the traitors in Pattaya's mouth. These people had no way out. They had no other choice except to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Highness, Pattaya is a country with a population of over one million. No matter how you catch it or kill it, how can you kill it? Look at this lush jungle, you don't know how many Pattaya people are hiding inside. They are hiding in the forest like mice and staring at us hatefully, ready to jump out and bite us at any time? We have caught a lot of them in this period of time."
"They actually dare to show their heads? Don't you know that they will die if they show up?" Qin Wu didn't quite understand.
"Your Highness, President Lei knew that this would happen, so he left a chess piece, which made these people jump out like moths to a fire, saving us a lot of trouble!" Murong Fu smiled, and in his tone he was full of admiration for Lei Wei, the president of Ximanila Company.
"What kind of chess piece?" Qin Wu asked curiously. What kind of chess piece is it that makes these Pattaya people still enjoy it even though they know it is dangerous?
"When he killed the Pattaya royal family, President Lei deliberately left behind a fifteen-year-old Pattaya prince who was not killed. Now, he is working somewhere under our feet!" Murong Fu said.
"Let a prince do work?" Qin Wu frowned. In his heart, the Pattaya royal family was a noble royal family. Such people could be killed, but the humiliation was a little too much. Is there a way to be a king who thought of as the older generation of Qin Feng? Everyone is on an equal footing, and the emperor takes turns to sit. What's different from the idea of coming to my family this year is that the second generation of the Ming Dynasty, even those like Qin Wu who were taught by Qin Feng by words and deeds, actually have many different ideas from their parents.
"Of course, the so-called work is just to act. The purpose is to make him appear openly under everyone's noses. We still regard him as an ordinary Pattaya man. In this way, after the news spread, the fleeing Pattaya man tried every means to rescue him, coming in batches, and being killed by us, which is much easier than to catch them in the mountains."
"It's really a good idea! If this person is given up, those people will not dare to come." Qin Feng nodded, "But those people are not fools. After all this, will they be willing to come again?"
"When talking about this, I have to convince President Lei. Every time I catch these guys, he can always make these Pattaya people think that it is just a small link that has not been handled properly, which has brought about such a catastrophe. The next time I notice this, I will succeed." Murong Fu laughed: "But they have improved this point, and that point will have problems again, because President Lei always makes them constantly think that they have various loopholes."
Who is Lei Wei? He was the former commander of the Chu domestic guards. Even without Guo Jiuling's help, he could not be the position of the inner guards. However, being able to become a strong competitor in this position means that there is no problem with his ability. The reason why he was sent to Manila was mainly because of his behavior at that time. It was angered by public anger in Chu. Many people in Chu did not hate Mingren, but they hated the former commander of the inner guards. If he was allowed to stay on that continent, he might be removed from his head on a dark and windy night.
