I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

"Where do you come from, and what is the purpose of coming to Lisbon?"

At the port of Lisbon, the capital of the Portuguese country, a soldier at the dock stopped a group of people wearing veils wrapped in headscarves, and asked them about their origins with vigilant eyes.

The news that Ming's warships have come to the west again has already spread among the senior officials of the Portuguese country.

Thinking of the stupid things they did a few years ago, the senior officials of Putao Country were flustered and guilty, for fear that Daming would come over and beat them up.

The strength of the two countries is strong, and the high-level officials of the Portuguese country still know it well.

In the past few years, they only took down one fleet, and they paid five or six thousand casualties, and they still took the opportunity to sneak attack.

At this time, the population of the Portuguese country was only about 100 million, and the army that could be mobilized was about 8 to [-], and the defensive troops in various places were also counted.

Now that Daming is coming prepared, the high-level officials in the Portuguese country are full of a sense of crisis, for fear that Daming will mobilize 10,000+ troops for revenge, and directly crush them to death.

In order to resist Daming, the senior officials of the Portuguese country contacted the surrounding countries to make allies and prepare to jointly resist Daming. At the same time, they searched the important ports to prevent spies from mixing in, and cooperated with Daming.

"Mr. Knight, we are from Oman and we are here for business."

"Go and search around. They are outsiders. They are not familiar with the terrain here, so they can't run very far."

After confirming that there were only two or three people inside, he immediately turned around and looked for the next room.

Rampant laughter resounded throughout the room, and the skeletons lying on the ground clenched their fists tightly, their teeth gnawed.

In a certain room on the top floor of the castle where the blacksmith was located, the silvery moonlight shone into the room through the fist-sized gap in the iron fence.

The whips woven with ponytails and various kinds of ropes were whipped on the shriveled skeletons, making drumming sounds.

Glancing at the brightly lit palace with bursts of singing and laughter, a sneer sneered at the corner of the blacksmith's mouth under the veil.

In the end, Zhu Zhangui was touched and gave them this task.

It's best if it's one of your own, if not, ha ha!
Time passed slowly, rooms were searched one by one, and guards were brought down one by one.

"Damn yellow-skinned monkey, you're thirsty, the great master knight rewards you with a sip of rice wine, hahahaha..."

Putting the money into his arms, the soldier squinted his eyes and looked at the dozens of tightly packed people behind Amo.

Praying to God's blessing in his heart, the blacksmith's pace accelerated a bit.

The closed iron door was kicked open heavily, and two Portuguese guards, whose faces were flushed from drinking, came in cursing because of the sound from the room just now, which disturbed their interest in drinking.

A group of people landed on the wall of the castle. The blacksmith glanced at a few vigilant people, and clenched his fists at the others.

After the death of this family, the castle also moved to a new owner, but then there was a legend that it was haunted. Prison, responsible for detaining prisoners who violated the law.

There was a sound of a sharp blade piercing through the flesh, and the blacksmith carefully put the patrolling guard in front of him to the ground.

Amo shook his head helplessly.

After he walked out, the man behind him took a quick look around and closed the door when no one noticed, then turned and entered the house.

"Boom boom boom, boom boom!"

"Oh!"

Time passed slowly, and it reached dusk in a blink of an eye.

The man picked up the map and started asking people around him to write down the route.

Amo nodded repeatedly with a smile, took the pass handed over by the other party, and greeted the people behind him in Arabic to set off immediately.

Before everyone was disappointed, Amo continued: "But there are only three cells in Lisbon, except for one in the palace, and the other two are outside the city."

Feeling the coldness brought by the money in his hand, the soldier's vigilant eyes relaxed a lot, he secretly weighed the silver coin in his hand, and nodded in satisfaction.

If these two were the first ones, the blacksmith would feel better.

"Here and here are probably located in these two places. I originally wanted to go and have a look, but the defense of these two places is too strict, and I can't get through as a foreigner."

At the beginning, Zhu Zhangui planned to let the vanguard team go. After all, this team is an excellent soldier who jumped out of the entire army, and its combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of ordinary teams.

"Lutu is open, I'm back from business!"

"When I return home, I will lead an army to conquer the barbarians."

Due to uncertainty, whether those captured brothers were locked up here, and because Amo didn't come, they couldn't speak the language, so they couldn't ask the prisoners, so they could only search from room to room.

No one answered, no one spoke.

Three long knocks and two short knocks on the door sounded in the quiet courtyard.

The man nodded slightly, and with the help of his companions, he untied the rope with the hook on his body. After tidying up, he picked up the other end of the hook, spun it around a few times, and raised his hand, the hook flew away with a whoosh. up.

The so-called inspection is only superficial. In fact, the real meaning of the soldiers is to let Amo spend some more money.

Dodging the patrol on the castle, a group of people stuck to a corner of the castle.

The patrolling footsteps gradually receded, the blacksmith patted the people behind him, and was the first to rush out, crossing the street.

The people around who had encouraged each other were starved to death one by one, and tortured to death by these white pigs one by one.

"do not know!"

"Take me out of here first, I'm being followed."

This is a very rare stone road in the west. This road leads to a pier at one end and a castle at the other end.

They have talked about this topic more than once in the past few years, and each time they are full of confidence, but time and pain have gradually made them no longer hopeful about it.

Wearing an Arabian attire, he explained to the soldiers with a smile on his face, and at the same time secretly stuffed a few silver coins into the hands of the soldiers.

The main rescuers were the three people led by the blacksmith, and the others were responsible for solving the patrol posts and controlling the gates of the castle.

Maybe he was distracted, or maybe he really didn't notice. When he turned a corner, the blacksmith happened to be face to face with two Portuguese guards who came down the stairs.

They also knew that due to the language barrier, the skeletons on the ground could not understand what they said, so they directly swung their whips and whipped the shriveled skeletons lying on the ground.

"If I can't go home, please live my brother to go home for me, and tell the old mother, wife and children at home that I am brave and fight the enemy to the end."

After solving a few guards, the group entered the castle.

The blacksmith also responded, and patted the people around him, telling them to go up quickly, while he stayed at the end and was in charge of breaking the back.

There was only one person left in the room, and Amo was not surprised, nor did he ask where the others had gone.

Thinking of his younger brother who was once drawn into the army by him, the blacksmith wanted to give him two big mouths.

The hook wrapped with cloth strips made an inaudible sound.

Dozens of men received the order, jumped out from the rear window, avoided pedestrians, and hid in a safe area they had observed. Only the man was left in the house.

With a smile on his face, he touched it from his bosom again, and put his hand into the soldier's hand.

I don't know if there are any brother blacksmiths in there, but the tongue that was caught is not clear because of their low status, so they can only go in and try it out.

If it's the second one, the blacksmith will definitely go crazy.

Through the faint moonlight, dozens of human-like objects lying on the ground could be faintly seen.

The man lying on the bed in the room with his eyes closed and resting his mind suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time grabbed the handle of the gun in his arms with his right hand.

His younger brother might still be among them. Thinking of the way his parents cried when he went back a few years ago when they heard the news of his missing brother, he felt a heart-wrenching pain in his heart.

"Tap tap..."

While the other party was still in a daze, he and a partner beside him sprinted forward.

Then, maybe feeling upset, he raised his hand and slapped the money-collecting soldier.

Because Daming would come at any time, Lisbon, the capital of the Portuguese country, recently imposed a curfew. Except for patrolling soldiers, no one was allowed to wander outside at night.

None of them can speak Arabic, let alone Portuguese. As the saying goes, walls have ears. If they communicate in Mandarin and are heard by others, their whereabouts will be exposed.

You can't hurry up. If you are caught by the patrol before the sun goes down, you will be whipped.

"Damn it, let them run away, there is definitely something wrong with these people."

He got this news from a drunken official, and the other party also heard about it, but it is not clear which cell those people were locked in.

From then on, the blacksmith, who always smiled at everyone, no longer had a smile on his face, and was worried and regretful all day long. In just a few years, a man who was just 30 years old had all white hair.

Taking a deep breath, the blacksmith put the enemy's body on the ground, then pinched his thighs hard to refresh himself, put aside those distracting thoughts that shouldn't be there now, and continued to grope up.

As soon as it got dark, the Portuguese people who were working or wandering at the docks returned home as quickly as possible.

"Oh!"

But when the vanguard team was about to set off, the crew who followed the fleet and were in charge of navigating, and who had traveled around the world with Zheng He, collectively knelt down in front of Zhu Zhangui.

The savior they were looking forward to did not come, the hope they were looking forward to did not come.

Of course, under this premise, Gu Zi cannot go.

Although Amo is young, but he has been at the bottom for so long, he understands everything about people and the world, and he knows everything, so he can understand the meaning of the other party in a single word.

He kicked the soldier collecting money again, and the officer waved his hand and ordered a search around.

In that warehouse, the leading officer gathered all the people who put on night clothes together and assigned the next tasks.

"No, this is the explanation from above, and everyone must check."

Second, those brothers couldn't hold on, and now they are all dead, or there are only two or three people left, and they are locked in the room they just looked at.

At the beginning, he went to sea with Zhu Zhangui to earn money, and when he returned, he saw his younger brother wandering around all day with nothing to do, so he licked his old face and begged his officer to take his younger brother in, thinking of giving his younger brother a guarantee of life, It will be easier to get married in the future.

"God, please, bless my brother alive, as long as he is alive, I will give you the best incense and the best tribute every year from now on."

"I call you mother!"

First, those brothers are not in this cell.

"Yes, yes, thank you Mr. Knight!"

"Master Zhang, I will take my brothers to thank you. If you have any orders in the future, as long as you don't violate His Highness's orders, our brothers will do it for you even if we go through fire and water."

A few minutes later, there was a burst of crickets chirping from above.

Dozens of men who entered the courtyard and still covered their faces did not say a word, but nodded in unison.

In order to find out this news, he spent more than a dozen gold coins and dozens of silver coins.

Just when the skeletons endured the humiliation and vowed to keep this humiliation in their hearts, a curse they were familiar with and could no longer be familiar with sounded from the door.

Touching the money in his sleeve, although the soldier was a little dissatisfied, he hesitated to stamp Amo's pass, considering that the other party might know some important person.

While releasing water, they also humiliated them.

"Wait for me to go home, go home for me, take me home!"

"Recently, there has been a lot of wind and waves at sea, and they are all sick. They have just taken medicine and can't see the wind, so they are packed a little tighter."

The officer did not report to the above and planned to act alone with his own team.

Later, the formation where the two brothers belonged was borrowed by Zheng He and followed him to the west again.

There is the royal capital of the Portuguese country, where João I and his family lived.

The castle in front of me used to be the residence of a viscount. Later, the viscount offended the previous generation of kings, and his family died in political struggles.

One by one, they stretched out their hand to cover the mouth of the opponent who was about to exclaim, raised the sharp short blade with the other hand, and stabbed it fiercely from the opponent's jaw, and the sharp thorn went straight into the opponent's brain.

"I will take half of the people to this cell, and the people you will bring to another cell, Liu."

"Our mission is very simple. Find our people, take them to a safe place, and then fire a signal flare to let the fleet come over. When there is chaos, take the brothers to the fleet to gather. Do you understand?"

After everyone nodded, he extinguished the weak torch in his hand, lifted the cloth covering it, bumped fists with the team leader Liu on the opposite side, and after giving the man his blessing, he led people out of the warehouse and told Go for your own goals.

After a period of nutritional supplementation, Amo's face became rosy and he grew a lot taller.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, we brothers are all saved."

But even so, their loyalty to Daming remained unchanged.

Entering the room, Amo whispered as fast as he could.

Having been with his cousin for so long, he has learned a rule of Ming Dynasty, that is, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't inquire about what you shouldn't ask.

Taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly, Amo adjusted his mood and walked out the door with a warm smile on his face.

The soldier who collected the money covered his face and lowered his head, obediently daring not to say anything.

"Enough!"

The leading officer, who was a little disappointed just now, quickly asked, "Do you know where those two places are?"

The team that sneaked into Lisbon this time were all members of the fleet led by Zheng He.

The leading officer explained the combat mission to everyone with a serious expression.

A group of people rushed into the house, but after searching and finding no one, the leading officer cursed in a low voice.

There may be only two who did not find those partners.

Although it was dangerous and difficult at the beginning, the two brothers were lucky and both survived. The younger brother was appreciated by Zheng He and took him with him as a follower.

The weak civilians who don't have enough to eat can't bear the whip, so for the sake of their own lives, it's the best choice not to go out after dark.

They believed in His Highness, Zheng Tou, and Daming would not give up on them, but day after day, month after month, year after year.

After checking the number of people and confirming that there were no shortages, the blacksmith reached out and tapped a man with a rope on his back.

"If... I said yes. If I don't come back before dark, tell my cousin, ask him to bring back the bones of my great-grandmother, and take good care of my sister, and find a good home for her when she grows up. This is what I owe her."

"Sir, I am good friends with Lewis Knight, please accommodate me."

Inadvertently seeing that ray of golden light, greed flashed in the soldier's eyes.

No one knew whether he was alive or dead. The scene was so chaotic that there was nowhere to be found.

Those companions who died of sickness and starvation kept shouting, "Go home...go home...take me home!"

In the words of the blacksmith: These brothers were lost by them, and this shame is also left by them. They should pick up those brothers and let them use their actions to wash away this shame and atone for those brothers.

Not long after the two disappeared, the gate of the courtyard was kicked open, and a group of Portuguese soldiers with weapons rushed in, led by the money-collecting soldiers at the pier just now.

Amo quickly told the news he found out.

"when!"

The man who led the team confirmed that his own people were still alive, and while he was relieved, his heart rose again.

There are no daily necessities in the empty house, only the cold ground and the choking stench.

"Be honest, don't cause trouble inside, or you will be punished even if you know a nobleman, let alone know any knight."

"Be careful, the security here is very strict, don't talk if you can."

As the iron frame with the highest military rank in the entire team, he tearfully begged Zhu Zhangui to leave this opportunity to them.

In the attack that night, the blacksmith was guarding the boat, and his younger brother followed Zheng He to the banquet, but his younger brother disappeared.

When he came to the door and grabbed the doorknob, Amo hesitated for a moment, then looked back at the man who escorted him to the door.

In a warehouse full of goods at the pier, Amo and his party gathered here.

The sound of patrolling footsteps resounded in the silent night.

The smile on Amo's face became even stronger, and he took out a few more silver coins and stuffed them into the soldiers' hands.

Amo, who did not participate in this mission, looked at the backs of the two teams going away, closed his eyes and prayed silently for these brave soldiers.

The man nodded solemnly and raised his hand in salute.

A group of more than a dozen people crossed the street and soon came to a small castle.

Amo, who was grabbed by the man, scratched his head with a naive smile, "They're all from our own family, so you're welcome."

A tall man following Amo replied with the lowest voice.

But people's hearts are greedy. Seeing that Amo was so generous, this guy wanted to take the opportunity to make more money.

"Uncle Dog, do you think we can go back?"

The cunning rabbit and the three caves are in a foreign country, and they are shouldering important tasks. Anyone from a foreign race is not worthy of trust, even if this person is the prince's cousin.

With the help of the weak oil lamp in the hole in the wall, I quickly observed the surrounding situation, stretched out my hand and waved to the back, two of the four people held pistols, and the other two held short knives like blacksmiths, and advanced quickly in a tactical formation.

"You bastard, all my achievements have been ruined by you, you should really be sent to the gallows."

"What's the matter with them, why are they wrapped so tightly, take off all the face towels, I have to check them one by one."

Many people can't forget that those companions who were tortured to death still shouted long live Daming before they died.

Back in the room, the man didn't speak, and quickly made tactical communication gestures with his hands.

Walking into the pier, Amo observed the surroundings with a smile on his face, and explained the people behind him in Daming Mandarin.

These humanoid objects are skinny, and under the moonlight, the face of the bowl of skull makes people feel cold all over.

The man's expression was fixed, he carried the opponent on his shoulders, jumped out from the back window of the house, and then disappeared without a trace in the alley.

"Tie Hammer, Tie Hammer, you must be alive. Our father and mother are still waiting for you at home. As long as you are still alive, our family will give you whatever you want, and my brother will pay you to marry a wife. Marry the most beautiful daughter-in-law."

Amo nodded, took out a simple map from his pocket, laid it out in front of everyone, and reached out to click on two locations.

"O Allah the Great, may they return safely."

Let's play, let's make trouble, you will cry later.

The man slowly tightened the rope, and when he reached a certain distance, he pulled hard, and the rope in his hand became tense instantly.

After venting, seeing that the skeleton on the ground didn't even make a sound, the two Portuguese soldiers laughed, unbuttoned their pants and poured water on the thin skeleton in front of them.

After confirming that the tone was the same as the one he knew, the man responded in a vague tone. When he came to the door, he observed the situation through the crack of the door and confirmed that Amo was the only one who opened the door and welcomed him in.

This afternoon, they captured a dock warehouse manager, and after a while, they got the information they wanted.

Moreover, today's incident was still the dereliction of duty of his subordinates. If his opponents found out, even if he caught those people, he probably would not get credit for it, and would even be punished.

The atmosphere froze instantly, and both sides were stunned when they saw each other, but the blacksmith had prepared in advance.

"You wait here first, don't go out if you can't go out, I'll go find out the news for you."

"How about it?"

Twelve words weighed as much as a thousand catties, and the bodies of the skeletons who weighed down the room trembled slightly.

"Where is the location? Little Zhang, have you found out clearly?"

After finally meeting someone who took advantage of him, the soldier naturally wouldn't let him go so easily. He still has two lovers to support, and if he doesn't make more money, he won't be able to sleep with him.

A weak inquiry came from the silent room. A thin skeleton stared blankly at the full moon outside the gap, and opened and closed its mouth slightly.

A dozen or so people divided into small groups of three and started heading in different directions.

The silvery moonlight shone on a group of armored soldiers, and the deep cold armor was in harmony with the moonlight, reflecting the silvery light.

"Our people are not important prisoners. I don't think they will be locked up in the palace. They will most likely be locked up in two cells outside the palace."

Amo put his finger on his mouth, shook his head at him and led him into the room.

He stretched out his hand and tugged it a few times to confirm that it was really safe. The man gestured to the surroundings, and he was the first to climb up.

It doesn't take so many people to save people, and if there are too many people, it is easy to expose their whereabouts.

It is because people are selfish, and few people will contribute their benefits to others for free.

After the group went around and confirmed that there was no follower behind them, Amo took out a sum of money and rented a small yard around the pier, and the group lived in it.

Although this big man is lucky, he has no brains. If he goes there, let alone help, he can burn his incense if he doesn't cause trouble.

"puff!"

"I have already found out that there should be about 60 of our people alive. They were doing hard work at the dock, but the Portuguese country learned that our ship went to Aden, and they were afraid that these brothers would riot after receiving the news. , and locked them in a prison on the pier, as for whether they are alive or dead now, it is uncertain how many people are still alive."

Seeing that the castle was about to be searched and the captured partners had not been found yet, the blacksmith's expression became more and more gloomy.

There was an Arabic voice outside the door.

Coming to a closed iron door, the blacksmith quickly glanced inside through the gap.

According to what they know, there are at least 60 to [-] people on their side who are still alive, so their immediate goal is to lock in the cell with a large number of people, and if there are no large numbers of people, they will open the door one by one to ask.

"call!"

The thin and small skeleton illuminated by the moonlight was chanting what an old scribe told him before he died. A mist of water slowly seeped out of those dry eyes that had already lost tears, covering the entire eyes. .

Looking at Amo who closed the door, the man lowered his voice and asked the other party nervously about the situation.

"call!"

"If I unfortunately die in battle in a foreign land, please don't abandon me, my fellow countrymen, please scatter my ashes in the land of my hometown, and let me return to the arms of my mother."

The skeleton, who was so hungry that he didn't even have the strength to lift his fingers, suddenly raised his head and looked towards the place where the voice came from.

The dim light of the oil lamp came in from the door, and the skeletons' eyes, which had already been blurred due to long-term malnutrition, vaguely saw a black figure rushing in with a gleaming weapon, and threw itself on the two Portuguese soldiers. , the sharp blade in his hand desperately stabbed in.

Dark red warm blood spurted from the soldiers of the Portuguese country, and splashed on the faces and even the mouths of the surrounding skeletons lying on the ground.

The thin and small skeleton who was humiliated by the Portuguese country just rolled his tongue, swallowing the salty and stinky blood, listening to the familiar voice that appeared in dreams many times, the tears in his eyes could no longer be stopped Big ones fall.

But there was no cry from his mouth, but a giggle like a devil crying.
