Chapter 890 Military Secrets
A large number of troops patrolled back and forth on various streets of Manila, and they restored the security and order of Manila as quickly as possible.
In order to prevent chaos, Zhu Cixuan issued an order to implement martial law throughout the city. Whether Chinese or natives, they are not allowed to go out within two days. The food will be provided by the army on time!
In particular, the missionaries of the Catholic Augustine Church received "special" attention from the Ming army.
Spain ruled the Philippines for nearly a hundred years, and through these missionaries, they had a huge impact on the lives of the locals, and their influence was even greater than that of the Spanish colonial army.
Outside Manila City, the unconscious Archbishop Aknia finally came over.
He was surprised to find that he was in a pile of dead people, and a circle of fires ignited around him, much like the purgatory described in the Bible.
"Why didn't I return to the Lord's arms?"
Aknia murmured, her face full of sorrow, and she thought she had gone to purgatory after her death.
As an archbishop, I have helped countless people pray to ascend to heaven, but why did this end up being the same?
Could it be that the Lord knows the unethical things he usually does?
"Hey, there is someone here who pretends to be dead!"
A scream came from a distance, which scared Aknia. The other party was actually a soldier wearing Ming army uniform!
"I'm not dead?"
Aknia was surprised and delighted, and almost danced.
I heard the Ming army soldier on the opposite side shouting: "Hey, is the person or a ghost on the opposite side? Respond!"
Aknia asked in half-weather and half-Chinese language: "I am the Archbishop of the Augustin Society of Manila, who is you a pagan?"
These missionaries in Luzon have long been in charge of the faith of the locals and always like to talk about pagans. During the Anti-Chinese Massacre, Aknia incited indigenous people to loot and beat up the Chinese, and they were fighting against the banner of eliminating pagans.
"I'm your father!"
The soldier came over and came up without saying a word to give him a heavy butt stock.
The foreign monk was a little tough. He shrank his neck and said back, "Manila is a place that has received the Lord's gospel. You pagans dare to attack here..."
The Ming army soldier laughed a few times in surprise and gave him a few heavy butt stocks.
"Omnipotent Lord, please bring disaster upon the pagans and save your loyal lamb..."
"Scream, keep shouting to me! Let your master come and pester me, and see if I miss him soon!"
The butt stocks of Ming soldiers were heavier one after another, and they were not polite to start, and the more they smashed, the more excited they became.
Obviously, not only did the Lord not come, but Aknia was beaten to the point of bleeding.
He finally became honest and whispered in a low voice, "You pagans will not have a good result!"
At this moment, Aknya seemed to be saying harsh words after admitting guilt.
The soldier took out a grenade from his bag and shouted, "I'll call you again!"
In an instant, Aknia's hair exploded and almost left her body.
This thing left a big impression on him. When the Ming army attacked the city, it repeatedly hit the city wall that was only five meters high, killing many Spanish soldiers, and even Aknia's nephew was blown up on the spot.
He took a few steps back and said nervously: "This military master, the Lord is kind and tolerant. He will not bring punishment to sinless people. Just like you, you are all kind people. There is only the gospel above your heads, no disasters..."
The soldier smiled meaningfully and brought him back to the city.
On the other side, the Ming army camp next to the Governor's Office.
Anthony took advantage of Zhu Cixuan and the generals' discussions at the Governor's Office and quietly came to the military camp to continue to find out the secrets of the Ming army.
After squatting for a long time, he couldn't easily catch the target, so he sneaked to an artillery soldier who came out to do business, and asked in Chinese with a smile: "Can you tell me how long your Dongfeng Rocket is?"
The artillery looked at him in surprise and said nothing.
Anthony smiled meaningfully. Based on his understanding of the Chinese, he quietly stuffed a small gold nugget to the artillery.
More than a decade ago, the diplomats of the Honglu Temple in the Ming Dynasty often stuffed gold to him, and they all calculated according to boxes.
In return, Anthony also stole and sold a lot of drawings of the Netherlands warships to the Ming Dynasty.
The development of the Ming Navy should be considered as a military medal for him.
The artillery looked around and collected the gold ingot like a thief.
The smile on Anthony's face became even more serious. Sure enough, the old Chinese saying is right, money can make ghosts urinate.
Since ghosts can pee, living people can definitely open their mouths...
However, the artillery smiled at him and said, "Sorry, this is a military secret, I can't answer you."
Anthony was stunned and pointed at the artillery cleverly and said, "What are you doing with my gold?"
The artillery smiled and replied, "Of course I will accept what you gave me. Today is my birthday. Thank you for your gift!"
Anthony scolded: "What's the birthday? You are obviously not doing anything with money! It's an unhappy act!"
Because of excitement, Anthony almost broke his voice when he spoke, obviously angry at the artillery's behavior of not following the "competence rules"!
The artillery was unhappy and frowned and said, "You foreigner, are simply unreasonable, but for the sake of your gifts, I will tell you something."
Anthony was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Friend, you said!"
The artillery said: "Our Dongfeng Rocket has a long range..."
Anthony's face suddenly sank. It's such a thing again!
However, the artillery's next words ignited him hope again.
I heard the artillery secretly say, "Tell you the truth, most of the Dongfeng Rockets used by our army in this battle are the first generation, and there are a few second generations..."
"oh?"
When Anthony heard the news, he immediately became excited and couldn't help but come up and ask, "How many generations of this kind of rocket are there in your army?"
The artillery thought for a moment and said mysteriously: "I heard from above that it seems that several generations have been developed."
"What about the range? How far is their range? Is it even further than today's?"
Anthony was nervous and wanted to learn more about the military secrets of the Ming Dynasty.
The artillery said: "The range is naturally farther than today. I heard that the latest generation of Dongfeng Rocket developed by the Military Industry Research Institute is three meters taller! It can fight from our Ming Dynasty to Nanyang!"
"Oh, my god, this is so shocking. Is what you said true or false?"
Anthony was obviously shocked. What kind of flying firearm is this to fight from the Ming Dynasty to Nanyang?
The artillery said seriously: "Really, I want to lie to you, Ergouzi!"
Anthony is skeptical. Dogs are a lowly thing in the eyes of the Chinese. The artilleryman of the Ming Dynasty looks like a handsome man, but he doesn't think he is so arrogant...
Based on the trust in the Ming soldiers, Anthony gradually believed it.
After he left with the "big secret", the artillery cushioned the gold in his hand and smiled with satisfaction.
Not far away, several Ming soldiers ran over, and one of them smiled and shouted, "Liu Ergouzi, are you fooling people again?"
The artillery soldier named Liu Ergouzi stuffed gold nuggets into his arms and said with a smile: "No, I just earn some extra money. I'll invite you to drink tonight!"
