Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 635 Are we going to be sacrificed to the evil Eastern steel dragon? !
This unique and loud sound attracted the attention of almost everyone at Wusong Railway Station, including the Dutch prisoners and the soldiers of the Ming army who escorted them.

I saw a thick black smoke column quickly approaching here from a distance with the sound of the siren.

After seeing what was under the smoke column, among the Dutch captives, whether it was the colonial governor like Alwald, or the soldiers and sailors at the bottom, all showed shocked and terrified expressions.

Many people subconsciously let out a low voice——

"Lord, what is that?"

"God, what did I see?"

"Is this the mysterious and evil oriental dragon in the legend? And it's a steel dragon!"

"Could it be that the Ming people want to sacrifice us to this giant steel dragon?"

"No! I don't want to die, at least I don't want to die in the mouth of the evil dragon! Lord, save me!"

"···"

After a while of murmurs, many Dutch prisoners were terrified, retreating subconsciously, or trying to escape.

This made the captive team suddenly become a little confused.

It should be noted that there were more than 3000 Dutch captured by the Ming army. Although only more than 1000 people were sent to participate in the prisoner offering ceremony this time, it was not a small number.

If these people escape through chaos, not only will it take a lot of effort to catch them back, but it will also threaten the lives and property safety of the surrounding people.

Fortunately, the Ming side had already made preparations. Not only did they divide the Dutch captives into teams, each of them was escorted by at least two Ming soldiers, they also arranged teams of musketeers around them.

Although the Nanyang Navy and the Fujian and Guangdong garrison officers who were in charge of the escort were also shocked by the train, they knew that this was a "train" from Ming Dynasty, and they quickly returned to normal after mental preparation in advance.

In addition, there were local garrison guards on the periphery, and they quickly used a volley of guns fired into the sky to calm down many panicked Dutch prisoners, or they were forced to stay where they were.

At this time, the relevant officials came with an interpreter and explained: "You don't need to be afraid, this is my Daming train, and it is escorting you to Nanjing!"

The interpreter yelled several times, and Owald and other high-level Dutch prisoners also helped to appease others after they reacted, and quickly calmed down the group of prisoners.

Just at this time, the train slowed down and stopped at the railway station.

The doors of the cars were opened, and when they saw lively and excited Ming people walking out of the carriages, or workers unloading goods from the carriages, the Dutch captives believed that this was a kind of transportation of people and goods. Strange cars, not evil oriental dragons.

Of course, there are also some people who insist that this train is the mysterious and evil oriental steel dragon.

Otherwise, how can you run fast without a horse pulling a cow?
Also, isn't the smoke spouting from the front of the car the characteristic of the legendary dragon's breath?

When the matter was over, the high-level personnel among the Dutch captives, such as Owald, were blushing at the performance of their own people just now while being shocked.

"This is obviously a scientific and technological achievement of the Ming Dynasty, and it is probably the same as those armored warships that can sail without sails." Gerd rarely lost his composure and became emotional, "There are scientific and technological achievements that can shock the world, but we But he was so frightened that he almost collapsed.

Up to now, many people still think that the train is the evil oriental steel dragon.Ignorant, simply too ignorant, what is the difference between us like this and those natives in Southeast Asia who have no country? "

Delong looked at the train not far away with a pale face, and said tremblingly: "Gerd, how can you be sure that such a long steel monster car has no evil power?
Perhaps the steel battleship and the train in front of him were all evil powers borrowed from the mysterious oriental dragon by the Ming people.

You have only been in the East for a short time, and you don't know that there are many incomprehensible things in the East.The Ming Dynasty is often the source of these mysterious events, and all gods and demons can be traced back to the land under our feet. "

Gerd looked at Delong in disappointment, and said, "I never thought that, as a senior affairs officer of the company, you would think the same as those soldiers who were farmers."

Delong became angry and said: "Gerd, be careful what you say, my qualifications in the company are much deeper than yours!"

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Owald quickly stopped him and said, "Okay, stop arguing, do you want people from Ming Dynasty to see a joke?"

Although Owald said he didn't favor anyone, he actually agreed with Delong's opinion in his heart.Because he really couldn't understand how the steel battleship and this long steel vehicle could move without the help of wind and animal power.

He felt that there was no other explanation but mystical power.

'Perhaps, if we want to defeat the Ming people in the future, we must rely on the holy power of the church. '

Finally, the Dutch colonial governor thought so in his heart.

···
a day later.

Nanjing Railway Station North Station.

In order to ensure that the escort of the Dutch prisoners did not go wrong, the officials in charge of the matter chose to let the Dutch prisoners get off at the North Station.

Because the North Railway Station is a military train station, it is easy to control, and there is no need to block it because the Dutch prisoners get off the train, and it also allows the Dutch prisoners to avoid being watched.

However, when the captives were escorted into the city, they were inevitably watched by the people of Nanjing.

Because Dongfan Island and the war between Daming and the Netherlands have been hotly discussed for more than half a month, the people are quite curious about the Dutch, and there are endless discussions when watching-

"Is this He Yi? No wonder it is called Hong Yi. There are quite a few people with red hair."

"He Yi is so ugly, his nose is so long, his pores are so thick, and there are so many spots on his face."

"I never imagined that there are real people with red, yellow or gray hair, and blue or blue eyes. There are so many wonders in the world."

"These Dutch barbarians have occupied our Daming Dongfan Island for more than [-] years and stole millions of gold. They really deserve to be beaten! If my soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were not walking next to them, we would definitely buy rotten eggs and smash them!"

"···"

Some people are purely curious, while others are filled with righteous indignation at the Dutch, wishing to throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves.

As for being intimidated by the appearance of the Dutch, there are almost none.

Because these Dutch captives looked very embarrassed. After a day of train ride, they came to a city as big as Nanjing, and they were so shocked that they seemed to have lost their souls.

Speaking of which, fortunately, most of them can't understand Chinese, and almost none of them can understand Nanjing dialect.Therefore, the words of the people's comments hardly hurt them.

After regaining consciousness, Owald and the others even looked at the scenery of the Ming capital and started talking in Dutch.

"God, is this the capital of the Ming Dynasty? It's too big!" Owald looked around and sighed.

Gerd said: "A lot of people—Dron, do you know how many people this city has?"

"I asked, and they said that the population of Nanjing City had already exceeded 100 million. This is incredible. I was unwilling to believe it at first, thinking that the people of Ming Dynasty were talking big.

But now that I came to this city, I realized that they were not talking big.Such a large city, with such dense houses and people, may have a population of one million! "

"A city with a population of over one million?!" The rest of the people were shocked.

Even Connor, who had been expressing dissatisfaction with Daming, was dumbfounded.

Because during this period, the tragic 30-year war in Europe had just come to an end and had not really ended, so the total population of Europe was only about 8000 million.

Among them, France has the largest population, with about 2000 million people; followed by Holy Rome, with a population of less than 2000 million; and Spain and Poland, with a population of more than 1000 million.

The rising United Kingdom has a population of more than 800 million, and Sweden, an army powerhouse, has a population of more than 500 million.As for the Netherlands, which has just been established, it only has a population of about 300 million.

Therefore, after being shocked, several people sighed.

"A super city with a third of our Dutch population is incredible!" said Owald.

Gerd was puzzled, "How did the Ming Dynasty manage such a large city with such a large population?
And have you noticed that their streets are still very clean, not to mention that they are not full of feces, urine, sewage everywhere like Amsterdam, and even other garbage is almost invisible!
Fortunately, we once thought that the Ming Dynasty was an indigenous country like the Indian Peninsula and the Spice Islands, where everyone was ignorant and ignorant-it was so wrong!
A country that can manage such a super city, a country that can invent steel armored warships, trains and other amazing creations, is definitely more civilized than any country in Europe! "

　First more.
