Chapter 1228 A night to remember forever

The red-haired devil's arrogance and domineering threat made all the Ming people angry, especially when there were three corpses of compatriots lying in front of them.

However, they have guns in their hands, warships behind them, and cannons. These flesh and blood alone cannot stop them at all.And beside me, there are old people, children, and women, what can I do?
At this time, Su Minggang leaned on a cane, and immediately greeted him. Behind him, Su Minglun and others surrounded him and followed his predecessor Jiapidan.Seeing them coming forward, many people followed behind and hugged them.

From the other direction, Cheng Quan led his subordinates who had already arrived and stepped in obliquely.

When the red-haired devils rushed over, they immediately raised their guns.They already had flintlock guns in their hands, and of course, they also had matchlock guns.Automatically stand in several rows, either squatting or standing in sections, the little boss next to him is holding a command knife, with a little suspicion in his eyes, but more vicious.

"Stop, stand still for me, anyone who dares to come over will die!"

Speaking fiercely, Su Minggang and others finally stopped.In fact, at this time, they are not far away, and they can speak normally without shouting.

In the distance, more red-haired devils hurried over, apparently seeing the situation here, and came to reinforce them.Some of them even aimed their guns at those who had just arrived.

After these days, they also realized that although these pirates were allies with them, they were Ming people after all. They all came from the same country and would help those craftsmen.And these pirates have knives on their bodies, so the level of danger is relatively high.

Facing more and more red-haired devils with guns and live ammunition, Su Minggang turned his head and looked at the countless compatriots behind him, seeing their faces showing anger, fear, despair...all kinds of expressions.

He turned back silently, looked at the red-haired devil officer in front of him and said, "My lord, three of our compatriots died, and you killed them yesterday. According to our custom, we just pay homage to them here."

"We still want to live. The governor promised us that he will let us go back to our hometown after we finish our work here." Su Minggang said sincerely, "Don't worry, we will definitely do our best to complete Badawi's work." Asia's building..."

Hearing his submissive words, the expressions of the red-haired devils on the opposite side relaxed. Hearing Su Minggang continue to say: "We just want to go home, we don't want to die here. The old man has also seen the conflicts of the past few days , understand what adults need. You see, this is good..."

Speaking of which, he took a few steps forward with a cane, but Su Minglun didn't follow, which made those red-haired devils not care. After all, he was just an old man dying, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

After Su Minggang approached, he continued to say earnestly: "Don't you need women? Give me another day, and I can persuade them. When the time comes, I will wash them clean and serve you adults, but you have to pay some money. Is this good? Don’t use any more knives and guns, we don’t want to die here!”

The red-haired devils were a little surprised when they heard this, and then looked at the three corpses placed in the distance, and they all suddenly realized, and even laughed out loud, speaking unscrupulously.

"These oriental monkeys are cheap, they have to die to be subdued!"

"It's quite sensible, not bad, not bad, there are a lot of women here, so we can finally have fun!"

"These oriental monkeys have to kill a few of them from time to time to be submissive!"

"..."

The leader of the red-haired devil pointed at Su Minggang with the command knife in his hand and said: "Old man, you must count what you said, and I will give you one day at most, otherwise I will hang you to death tomorrow if you don't see the woman who has been cleansed for nothing." !"

The red-haired devils started making trouble, and the low-level officers couldn't stop them, and there were actually many low-level officers among the people who were making trouble, so they were all satisfied with what Su Minggang proposed.After all, if they want to force it, they have also seen the situation in the past few days.Moreover, they dislike women who make them dirty on purpose, and they are of course happy if they can clean up and serve them first.

"My lords, don't worry, we only want to survive, the old man will definitely persuade them, and I will definitely serve you adults tomorrow!" Su Minggang replied with a smile.

The red-haired devil put away his command saber, pointed at Su Minggang and yelled, "Okay, at most tomorrow, go to work now, no one is allowed to be lazy!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and pointed at Cheng Quan and the others and shouted again: "And you, if you forget your status as an ally and dare to block the will of our Dutch next time, we don't mind working harder."

"How can it be, our Master Liu has repeatedly told us that we must listen to you. We are here to supervise the work, so don't worry." Cheng Quan hurriedly smiled, and completely succumbed to the will of the Dutchman.

The red-haired devils were very satisfied when they saw it, put away their guns, and started to walk back in line, calling for friends and talking.

"You can change the taste tomorrow, brothers, don't be polite tomorrow!"

"These oriental monkeys are short-sighted, and a few people must die to be submissive!"

"If I knew this, I would have killed a few of them from the beginning!"

"..."

The crowd of craftsmen watched the situation silently, all dejected.At this moment, what I feel most is sadness and helplessness.Many women and children couldn't hold back and cried out.

Or when they heard their cries, those red-haired devils would turn their heads, pointing and smiling, and some even whistled.Their joy, in Mingren's sad atmosphere, was extraordinarily glaring.

Su Minggang stood still, silently watching the red-haired devils go away, then slowly turned his head, looked at the sad faces, and said loudly: "Fellow folks, believe in the old man, now go to work hard, After dark, the men stay at home, and the old man has something to explain. Don't worry, you will not be wronged tonight. Your ancestors are above you, and Mazu is watching. I, Su Minggang, will definitely keep my word. After today Tonight, if any of you are dissatisfied, I will pay you this old man's life!"

To swear on the ancestors and the mother-in-law of Mazu is a very heavy oath among the Ming people in Nanyang.

"Everyone trust my uncle, after tonight, you will all be laughing!" Su Minglun also said loudly, "Now, just listen to my uncle and go to work. We can't die at this time anymore, we still have to Came home alive!"

Several other leaders also said similar words, which surprised Ming people.However, they couldn't figure out what kind of day it would be tonight. After tonight, would they really be able to live a satisfying life?

Believe it or not, life always goes on. Under the leadership of Su Minglun and others, those who want to work go to work one after another. For them, this is what they do day after day.

Watching the craftsmen disperse, the pirate who heard the words was very curious, and asked Cheng Quandao: "Master, what does this mean? Is there anything special tonight?"

Cheng Quan looked at them, smiled sincerely and said: "Brothers, follow me, and my brother will never lose you. After tomorrow, you will be able to behave in an upright manner, and you can go back to your hometown in a fair manner!"

When the pirates who were originally scattered around heard it, they immediately exploded like an enemy of ten thousand people. They all surrounded them and asked questions in a hurry.

"What? Master, what does this mean?"

"Master, what's the matter tonight? After tonight, we can really go back to our hometown, or the upright one?"

"..."

These pirates either don't want to die outside, or miss their relatives at home. If they can return to their hometowns in a fair manner, it can be said that these down-and-out pirates who fled to Nanyang are the greatest wish.

Cheng Quan understood the mood of his subordinates very well at this time, so he pressed his hands and said, "I don't know what's going on tonight. But you have to trust me, brother, and you will find out at night. Well, I can still go back home! As for now, what should I do now, I should go there anyway, everything will be known at night."

Seeing what he said, his subordinates had no choice but to work as supervisors first.

After such a commotion early in the morning, whether it was craftsmen, pirates, or red-haired devils, they all had their own thoughts and were full of expectations for the future.

For the red-haired devils, it's very simple, they are all looking forward to having fun tomorrow.

As for the artisans and their relatives, they are all anxious and looking forward, thinking of Mazu in their hearts, hoping that in the evening and tomorrow, they can really have another way of life as Su Minggang promised.

As for the pirates, they believed in their masters, and each of them guessed in their hearts what would happen tonight, and most of all they wished that the day would get dark soon.

At least at this stage, the sun, the moon, and the stars are not moved by human will, and they are running as they should. On this day, it finally slowly darkened.

The craftsmen, who had been tired all day, dragged their tired bodies back to their place of residence.And Cheng Quan, watching the sunset, also became excited, and immediately ordered: "Brothers, take the guys and follow me!"

When the pirates heard this, they were very curious, wondering what the head of the family wanted to do?

Is this the good thing tonight?But what good can there be in this Batavia?Rob those artisans?It seemed impossible, even more impossible to rob those red-haired devils!

So, in a daze, they followed Chengquan into the residence of the craftsmen and walked all the way inside.And the craftsmen who returned home saw these pirates passing by with their guns, and they didn't know why, but the bright knives and guns made them somewhat nervous.

No matter how dull a person is, they will understand that tonight is definitely not an ordinary night!

Cheng Quan arrived at the door of Su Minggang's house and asked his subordinates to guard the door, but he brought a few bosses into the yard together.

At this time, there were already several people in the yard, and it was Su Ming who talked about them.

Su Minggang seemed extremely excited at this time, and he looked much younger.In fact, his age is not as old as he looks, but the years of suffering make people grow old easily.

When he saw Chengquan coming, he said excitedly: "He's already arrived, the head of Cheng, you and Ming Lun will pick it up."

When Cheng Quanyi heard it, he immediately lifted his spirits and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay!"

The residences of the Ming people had no lights at all.When it gets dark, you can only use natural light.Fortunately, it is the night of the full moon. Under the bright moonlight, although the distance cannot be seen clearly, the nearby places can be recognized.

As a local snake, Su Minglun is naturally familiar with the road, and his steps are brisk, as if he feels like running and leading the way.Cheng Quan followed behind him, just taking a few brothers, and the others stayed there to listen to Su Minggang's dispatch.

This night is a special night, after this night, the red-haired devil will come to harm women.No one can sleep at night like this.The whole family either sat in the room and wept towards each other, or the woman was in the room and the man sat by the door, hoping for a miracle to happen.

They remembered that Su Minggang said that something would happen tonight.However, they saw that Su Minglun hurried past with Cheng Dangjia and others, and they were a little surprised that he didn't find them.Although they felt it, Su Minglun must be doing something.However, they couldn't figure out what exactly Su Ming said about them would change their fate and make them satisfied tomorrow.

The night was getting darker and darker. I don't know how long it took. The people who waited for each family did not wait until there was any movement. As time went by, they all gradually despaired.If it goes on like this, at dawn, how can fate change?
At this time, they suddenly heard movement. Although the footsteps of many people were played very gently, there were too many footsteps, and the combined sound was not small.

People who were close turned their heads to look where the sound came from, but saw a long line of people walking quickly towards the living area, and the person in the front was talking in a low voice: "Don't make a sound, The man is waiting at home, there will be an announcement soon!"

Listening to the voice, they could tell that it was Su Minglun's voice, and they were all familiar with it.

This is nothing, but when they saw Su Minglun's back, all of them were dumbfounded as if they saw a flying fairy from the sky.None of them could believe it. After rubbing their eyes and looking again, it was still the same as what they saw before. They slapped themselves twice, which hurt a lot. Although it was dark, it was not a dream!
Until the team passed in front of them, watching one after another, they confirmed.Only then did they understand why Su Minggang said such things.

Some of them knelt down by the door, opened their arms, and greeted silently; while some, as if they were crazy, turned around and rushed into the house, the excitement in their hearts could not be suppressed, desperately He lowered his voice and said to his relatives: "The imperial army is here... come to save us!"
