Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 781 This guy has an idea
Desierra and Desiro were really nervous right now.

It's okay if people just hold back some wood, but the problem guys are still serious, they don't say a word, and they don't talk to them at all.

What the hell are these guys trying to do?
People just ignore them, and they can't do anything.

After a while, the guys finally checked all the wood, and they also scored a fork on some wood with a stone pencil.

Immediately afterwards, the officer who seemed to be the leader waved his hand and said: "You let these slaves move the forked wood into the city, and then you can leave with the rest of the wood.

Remember, no wandering around the city or asking anyone questions in the city. "

Well, I can't be offended, this guy is a captain by his military rank, and this is his territory.

Only Desilau understood this, and the others didn't know what this guy was talking about.

The question is, how did he convey this to De Xie La and the team leader Jinyiwei Baihu?
Speaking Portuguese is definitely not good. There may be people who can understand Portuguese among the people on the opposite side.

There is no other way, so I can only speak the official language of Daming.

At this moment, there must be no one in Europe who understands Ming Dynasty Mandarin, and people will only think it is some kind of Indian dialect.

He walked up to Jinyiwei Baihu, the leader of the team, and pretended to be struggling and said in the official language of Ming Dynasty: "You, those who forked, dragged into the city, and you are not allowed to speak in the city."

Oh, that's what it means.

Jin Yiwei Baihu, the leader of the team, nodded pretending to be timid, and then led more than [-] teams of slaves to move the forked wood onto the cart.

Desilao waved to Desierra again, and Desierra led ten people, "detaining" these slaves and pushing the cart to the city.

The defense of this city can be said to be very tight. There are not only defenders but also artillery on the city wall, and there are also two teams of infantry standing at the gate of the city.

What is it doing inside? It's so mysterious.

Jinyiwei Baihu, the leader of the team, walked into the city to take a look, and instantly understood.

This city is specially built for weapons and equipment!

Because on the left side of the city is a row of iron-making furnaces, and on the right side is a row of casting sand fields.

At this moment, although he couldn't see what was cast in the sand field, he could see the wooden mold next to him.

These guys actually cast artillery here!
Of course, he could see the mold of the gun barrel and gun mount at a glance.

Fortunately, people are still casting front-loading cannons, not breech-loading Thor guns.

As soon as they entered the city, they were led into a huge shed, and a lot of wood had been piled up there, and a large number of black slaves were sawing and splitting wood there.

After a long time, these guys took these woods to burn charcoal to make iron!

He could even faintly hear the sound of hammers knocking from all around him.

He was not too familiar with this voice.

Obviously, not only cannons are being cast here, but other weapons are also being forged.

Although valuables such as mahogany and teak have been removed from the wood they pulled over, the thinnest is as thick as a thigh, and the thickest is even thicker than a waist.

People actually intercepted it, sawed it short and split it to burn charcoal. What does this mean?

This shows that the output of other people's weapons and equipment has greatly increased!

Moreover, in order to build weapons and equipment, people don't care about the money for selling wood at all.

Aren't colonial robbers just here to steal money, so why don't people care about the money anymore?

You know, the area where the trees are felled outside is full of branches, and it is enough for them to pull a few hundred cars over.

There is only one possibility.

People don't want someone to know that they are here to build weapons and equipment!
No wonder people are so secretive.

They are not to guard against them, they are to guard against their own people.

After all, it was the Prince of Condé, not the King of France, who led the anti-Habsburg coalition this time.

A prince is expanding his army so crazy, what will happen if the King of France knows about it?
This guy has an idea!
More than 300 people from more than [-] truckloads of wood came to unload the wood very quickly. It didn't take long for them to finish unloading the wood and leave the city, then loaded other wood on the ground, and then continued to rush to El Salvador.

Nothing happened after that, and two days later they finally pushed the timber to El Salvador.

Of course, they did not push the timber into the city of El Salvador. To be precise, they pushed the timber to the port terminal of El Salvador.

This is a huge bay. The entrance of the bay is at least [-] miles long, and the width and depth inside are more than [-] miles, because the ends of these two directions cannot be seen with the naked eye.

They were pretending scholars. They parked the convoy next to a pier, and then took turns pushing the flatbed trucks loaded with wood onto the pier, and then lifted them onto the boat one by one. Everything seemed normal.

In fact, at this moment they are secretly looking at the situation at the port terminal.

Desilau pretended to be the leading officer, and he could blatantly look around with his binoculars, while others could only observe with naked eyes.

Soon, Jin Yiwei Baihu, the leader of the team, discovered a very useful piece of information.

There are obviously more than a hundred ships here, and most of them are armed merchant ships of the Dutch.

Also, after these merchant ships came in, they first went to the other side of the wharf to unload the black slaves, and then docked at the side of the wharf to load timber.

This shows that Prince Condé is doing timber business with the Dutch, and he is still buying black slaves from the Dutch.

In addition, there are only about [-] large ships, gunboats and ordinary warships here, which obviously does not match the information provided by the Portuguese colonists.

Moreover, half of the twenty or so ships are unloading and half are loading.

The people who boarded and disembarked from these ships were obviously Europeans, but it is not known what they loaded on.

Jin Yiwei Baihu, the leader of the team, thought for a while, and then signaled to the other nine North American Indian tribes in the same team, Qing Zhuang, to push the flatbed cart to the pier with him.

When he passed by Desilau, he reminded in a low voice: "Look carefully, what are they loading on the battleship."

Immediately afterwards, he went to the pier, and he and the North American Indian tribe Qing Zhuang carried the timber onto the Dutch armed merchant ship, and took a closer look.

The armed merchant ship of the Dutch seems to be normal, it is just an ordinary sailing ship equipped with a few cannons.

However, he still saw an important detail. The shells next to the cannon obviously had traces of processing, and they were no longer the kind that were cast and used directly after washing off the sand on them.

This cannonball cannot be processed by hand, it must be processed by a machine tool equipped with a special tool.

They even started processing a huge number of shells, so there must be a steam machine tool.

Moreover, this processed shell is better sealed, and the range is definitely farther than the original one!
This is another important piece of information.

After they unloaded the wood and loaded it on the ship, they seemed to be able to return, and this time the task was almost completed.

However, when they walked back, they saw another detail.

All teams walking back with empty carts will pass through a courtyard, and the leading officer will bring out a large group of people after entering the courtyard.

Then they directly handed over the convoy and slaves to the people who brought them out, and then led their men to the direction of Salvador with excitement on their faces.

This is troublesome, they are obviously changing their vacations!

They can't take breaks.

If they changed their rest, De Xie La and De Silao led their men into the city without knowing where they were going.

And these fake slaves will be used by others as real slaves!

How to do?
That is of course not a break.

Seeing this, Baihu of Jinyiwei, the leader of the team, hurriedly whispered: "Desilao, go in and deal with it. No matter what, don't change your rest."

Ok.

Desilau could only bite the bullet and walk into the yard.

As soon as he entered the yard, he panicked a little.

Because the yard is too big, and there are several teams of French infantry lined up on the square in the middle of the yard, and some French infantry are constantly gathering on the square from the other side of the yard.

My God, this is really in a den of thieves!
Fortunately, there were quite a few officers coming in ahead, so he decided to follow him to see where he was going, so he would just go there, and he would not reveal his secrets for the time being.

He followed an officer into a hall and after a closer look, he knew what to do.

In fact, these military officers just walked to a row of desks and reported their names and the unit numbers they belonged to. After they reported, they would issue a voucher to them.

Then people will ask them if they want to change the rest, and if they say change, they will explain who they lead to receive the convoy and slaves.

All this seems very simple, but the problem is that his name is not a French name!

Also, he didn't know what unit he belonged to.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk up, gave a random French name, and made up a random one based on the troop number reported by other officers.

The officer who issued the voucher didn't have any doubts at all, and issued him a voucher directly.

Then he asked him habitually: "Do you want to change your rest?"

Of course not!

Desilao quickly shook his head and said, "No, we're not too tired."

Heck, is there anyone who doesn't need a break?

The officer who issued the certificate couldn't help but raised his head and looked at him in surprise.

It's over, it's over!

Seeing this, Desilao couldn't help but slowly touched the handle of the knife at his waist.

Fortunately, he just couldn't help admiring: "Young man, you are very good and have a future."

OK, can I go?
Desilao secretly heaved a sigh of relief, smiled awkwardly, then turned and walked out.

This hurdle is finally over.

After he walked out of the yard, he led the team back in a hurry.

There is nothing to say on the way back.

They easily pushed the cart and walked for about eight or nine days before returning to the place where they had just set off.

At this time, people have cut out the forest for more than ten miles, and it is only a few miles away from the mountain they looked at at the beginning.

After Desilau faintly saw the tree-cutting team through the binoculars, he raised his hands decisively, stopped to rest, and buried pots for cooking.

It's actually a bit abnormal for them, because the sun hasn't set yet.

However, no one doubted them.

After all, there are people who want to be lazy. Like them, it is not surprising that they stop on purpose and have a rest overnight before going up to load wood.

The teams that passed by one after another just looked at them with contempt and didn't say anything.

As night fell, they had enough to eat and drink, and when there was no one in sight around them, they got up directly, pushed into the jungle with their car, and disappeared into the night.
