Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 726 Prey Conflict
In the afternoon of the next day, the city of Zeelandia.

It was the first ten days of June, and the city of Zeelandia, which stood on the sandbar, was extremely hot. The vegetation on the sandbar was sparse, and the patrolling Dutch soldiers were all tanned.

In the tower above the city gate, two Dutch officers were sitting on chairs chatting, one of them was Captain Carton who had retreated from the city of Prominza.

"Basham, is Governor Owat just watching Taiwan being occupied by the big man? When will our fleet return?" Caton seemed very dissatisfied.

After all, he participated in the defense battle of Prominja City, and half of his soldiers died. He managed to escape to Zeelandia, but found that Governor Owat had never left the city.

In other words, if he did not retreat at that time, he and his soldiers would have almost no way out, which made Caton very uncomfortable.

There are obviously five or six thousand fully armed soldiers in Zeelandia. Even if Owat does not send his own soldiers, at least three thousand Englishmen should be sent to support them. There are 3000 people in Zeelandia.

No fleet or army can break through the defensive line of Zeelandia Castle with artillery. This is the consensus of all the Dutch who are familiar with the city defense of Zeelandia.

"Oh, man, don't worry, we have enough food to last until the end of the year, and those broken ships of Ming Dynasty can't get in."

Basham seemed to know why his old friends were so anxious, but they were just low-ranking officers and could do nothing about the orders from above.

"You'd better not go to the governor, he has been very bad-tempered recently, and the governor of Batavia, Jon, was appointed as the commander of the fleet. This is really terrible for Lord Owat." Basham continued Persuade.

"I'm not that stupid, I'm just complaining." Caton was a little dejected.

"My daughter is already eight years old. I plan to resign and leave the company after saving enough money in two years. Damn it! Is there no meat?" Caton got up from his side and walked towards the kitchen pantry, but there was nothing in it except white rice .

"Oh, the savages from the mountains were supposed to send venison yesterday, but I think the people from Daming stopped them. They have no reason to let those savages bring us food." Basham also seemed to miss the roast Delicious venison.

The weather is so hot that the meat cannot be stored at all. The venison in the summer castle is sent by the barbarians in the mountains every two days.

As for them, they only need to reward this group of savages with a pile of salt, so that whenever the group of savages came, the soldiers under them would always point their guns at them very mockingly.

"Carton, are Ming's soldiers very powerful?" Basham was not satisfied, so he decided to change the subject.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the tower, which seemed to be a dispute. Basham and Basham, as the chief guards of the tower, had to go outside to bask in the sun.

After leaving the tower, a group of Dutch soldiers were arguing in the city. Basham looked down the city, and his eyes lit up immediately.

Twenty or thirty barbarians came down from the city. These people were dark-skinned and almost naked, with only a piece of sackcloth wrapped around their crotch, most of them wore a colorful collar made of animal teeth around their necks, and a dark line of darkness was painted on their chins and foreheads. stripes.

There were dozens of freshly hunted livestock in front of them, and they raised their heads and shouted towards the city, as if they were asking the Dutch to open the city gate.

"Captain Basham, our city of Zeelandia is besieged by the Ming fleet, they must have been instructed by the Ming people, otherwise how would they pass through the defense line of the Ming people?

Nord these gluttons, they want to let these savages into the city! "A Dutch soldier saw the two officers approaching and hurriedly explained.

When Basham saw that there were several deer below, he was very greedy, but the soldiers' worries were the same as what he had just said to Caton. This group of people was very suspicious.

"How about going to report to Governor Owat?" Carton and Basham exchanged glances, and he also saw the longing of his old friend.

"I want you to go, anyway, I won't go." Basham said.

Their direct commander Donne went to Sulu with the fleet. The two discussed that they wanted the people in the city to put the prey in bamboo baskets and pull it up from the city wall. Rejected, after many discussions and discussions, there was no agreement.

"Damn it, we have guns and cannons in our hands, why should we be afraid of these barbarians, they don't even have weapons!" Caton stomped his feet angrily after drinking just now.

These words seemed to be for the people around. After all, people around him could testify if something went wrong. This remark was in Basham's arms. They really didn't have any need to be afraid.

The East City they are in charge of has 270 pikemen and 460 musketeers, and they also have newly developed firearms in China.

The two agreed that Caton would be responsible for the defense of the city, while Basham would take 200 men down to receive the prey.

For the sake of safety, every time the barbarians from the mountain came, they would enter the city through the small gate on the left side of the east city gate. This small gate was made of thick cast iron, and only two people could pass side by side at the same time.

Under the surveillance of the Dutch, a group of people carried wild deer, wild boar and other prey through the small gate.

"How did you get here through the Daming people's blockade?" Basham immediately asked Basuo.

Basham knew that this barbarian named Basuo could understand Daming language, so he specially called Chen Gui, the new interpreter in the castle after He Bin escaped.

Chen Gui translated Basham's words to Basuo. Basuo snorted coldly and was very disdainful of Basham's words. No one can stop the swift and brave Taroko people. directions, indicating that they were coming by wooden boat.

Basham was still worried. More than 200 Dutch soldiers surrounded Basso and others with muskets, and many of them pointed at the barbarian who was only wrapped in sackcloth behind Basso.

Basso was used to the taunts from this group of curly-haired men, and the few tribesmen behind him looked at the Dutch around them coldly, as if they were showing signs of anger.

Basham was still uneasy, worried that there was something wrong with these prey, and wanted to use this to lower the price, reducing the [-] pounds of refined salt and [-] pounds of kerosene that were supposed to be handed over to them to half.

After hearing this, Basuo just turned his head and pointed at the tribe. Immediately, three tribesmen came out and pointed deeply at the dagger on the waist of the Dutch soldier.

The Dutch soldier immediately became nervous, and several guns were aimed at the man. After Basso explained, Basham threw his dagger to the man, and he took two steps back.

The Taroko man held a dagger in his hand and slashed the chests of all the preys, while the others stretched their hands through the bloody holes in the chests of the preys, tearing out the hearts of the preys from time to time.

Several people stood up and held the bloody internal organs in their hands. They took a cold look at the Dutch soldiers around them, and opened their mouths to take a bite. The bloody smell immediately spread.

A few Dutch soldiers even tried to vomit. Basham thought that they were indeed a group of barbarians. Although he no longer doubted these prey, he still didn't want to exchange all the supplies for them.

After all, although meat is a good thing, Zeelandia City is now blocked by Ming soldiers, and it may last for a long time. Although the materials in the city are sufficient, they can be saved as much as possible.

Basuo was not willing to do anything, he originally wanted to use the blockade of the Ming people as an excuse to increase the price, the two sides immediately quarreled, seven or eight Gaoshan people pushed and shoved the Dutch soldiers in the front row, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Without Basham's order, the Dutch soldiers did not dare to shoot without permission. Basham was worried that he would offend the group of barbarians, and he would have no venison to eat in the future.

After a stalemate for a while, Basham happily returned the supplies to Basso, and then Basso led his men out of the city with the supplies on their backs.

No one noticed that after the conflict just now, Basso's team lost three people.

Basham ordered his men to report all the prey to Governor Owat's residence, and he went to the city with a fresh deer hind leg.

"Oh, Carton, look what I brought?"
