1196 This sentence is the truth
After hearing this, Kun asked with a cold face and immediately said, "This contract is written based on the intention of this Governor. Is this Governor still unclear?"
Su Minggang was definitely unwilling to accept it after hearing this. Before coming, he had read the contract repeatedly and thought about it for a long time, so he naturally remembered it clearly.
Therefore, he quickly squeezed out a smile and replied, "But Governor, on this contract..."
While he said, he wanted to go up to the desk in front of Kun to get the contract, but unexpectedly, Anthony suddenly pulled out his sword and pointed at Su Minggang with the tip of the sword, stopping him from moving forward, and shouted coldly: "No rules, will the Governor lie to you? What if the Governor says, then what should I do! I dare not be polite, don't think you are Kabidan, we won't do anything to you."
Speaking of this, he stretched his hand holding the sword forward, and the tip of the sword hit Su Minggang's chest, shouting with contempt: "Remember to me, you are a dog of our Dutch. Do whatever you ask you to do! Otherwise, there are many dogs, and no one cares about you, an old dog!"
Having said that, it was almost a broken face. However, the Dutch didn't care at all. So what if it broke face? In the final analysis, it was exactly what Anthony said, Kapitan was just a Dutch dog. When the owner was in a good mood, he could listen to the needs of the dog. When he was in a bad mood, he dared to bark, and directly beat him with a stick.
Su Minggang's face suddenly turned pale. He looked at the Admiral Anthony who was facing his sword against him, and looked at the contempt and fierceness in his eyes. Then, he turned to look at the Governor Batavia who was sitting in his seat. Seeing that he was also cold, he looked at him with a hint of contempt, and then turned to look at Putmans who had escaped from the Ming Dynasty. The same was true.
If Su Minggang did not feel sad or fear in his heart at this time, it would be impossible, and there was a tingling pain in his chest, it was obvious that Anthony used force again, and the tip of the sword pierced the clothes and pierced the skin.
In the pain, he couldn't help but retreat immediately. In panic, he even fell down and sat on the ground without any news.
Seeing his embarrassed look, Anthony, Kun and others couldn't help but burst into laughter. At this time, in their eyes, the person sitting on the ground was not an old man, nor a person who treated him equally, but a dog. What they saw was a embarrassed look.
After laughing, Putmans shouted coldly: "Get out!"
Anthony did not put away his sword, but instead held it in his hand, staring at Su Minggang with a strong sarcasm.
Governor Qun of Batavia picked up the contract on the table, without looking at it, rolled it up and threw it into a wastebasket at his feet.
Looking at everything in front of him, Su Minggang completely understood that my friends were actually just their dog. They could talk about contracts with themselves and the spirit of contract because they were strong. But because they wanted to negotiate contracts according to their rules, they could put aside the contract and ignore the spirit of contracts and not believe them, but they could not do anything to them at all! Because the Ming people in Batavia were too weak!
It seems that they remembered that the Western barbarians had said before, "What truth is within the range of the shells!" Yes, that's what it means! This sentence is the truth!
Thinking of this, he felt very helpless and sad. He knew that this trip must have been wasted, and his face was torn apart, and these Western barbarians would no longer be hypocritical. As he was old and had seen a lot of things, he would no longer be childish. Even if he begged hard, it would not be useful.
Thinking of this, he got up and wanted to leave.
However, at this time, the scenes of the past flashed through his mind.
It was me who gathered these fellow villagers to work in Batavia. I told them at that time that the Westerners here are good to us Ming people. As long as we work hard, we can always make more money and return to our hometown!
Nowadays, I am exhausted from working, but there is no end yet. Looking at the Dutch, I will continue to use Ming people to death. In this way, how many of them can return to their hometown alive?
Su Minggang seemed to see the disappointed expressions of the fellow villagers after he went back. They would accuse themselves of themselves, saying that they had brought them to the fire pit! They wanted to go back, but they did not let them go back, and they wanted to work here until they died. This was a lie to them...
Thinking of this, Su Minggang felt that his legs weighed a thousand pounds, and every step he took was very difficult. His steps became smaller and smaller, and finally, he stopped.
The three people in the room looked at him. Seeing him stop, Anthony shouted coldly, "Why, why don't you get out?"
Su Minggang slowly turned around, no longer had the smile he had squeezed out before, and his expression was a little firm. He looked at the three people in the room and said in a low but powerful voice: "If you don't let us go, continue to use our wise people to death. Our emperor knows it, and will not ignore it! Luzon is an example!"
If this was the case before, Su Minggang would not want to say it anyway. Because there was no precedent, the Central Plains Dynasty never cared about overseas affairs.
But now it’s different, Luzon gave all the Ming people in Nanyang a hope.
Hearing this threatening words, Anthony changed his color and pointed at Su Minggang and shouted sternly: "You old guy, you still want to threaten us Dutch? You don't know that we Dutch are known as the coachman on the sea, and we are not comparable to those Spanish. Their invincible fleets are different from being destroyed by us Dutch people. Just because of the broken ships and cannons of you orientals... Oh, by the way, those cannons should be bought from us and imitated. Think of it with your pig brain, and you can beat us Dutch people? Dream!"
What they didn't expect was that when Su Minggang heard this, he not only was not afraid, but instead showed a hint of contempt. He responded immediately without hesitation: "You are afraid!"
With his life experience, I naturally heard that Anthony's words seemed fierce, but they were also terrified and feared the strength of the Ming Dynasty.
He said this so that all three people in the room were stunned. Just as they were about to get angry, Su Minggang continued: "If you are really invincible, why don't you fight back to the officials? If our Ming Dynasty really needs to use troops overseas, no one can be the opponent of the Ming Dynasty!"
If he had no confidence before, he had already said this. Luzon was occupied by the Ming army, Annan was occupied by the Ming army, Nanzhang was occupied by the Ming army, Angkor was occupied by the Ming army, and even the powerful Mughal Empire was occupied by the Ming army. Not only that, I heard that the north was also pacified by the Ming Dynasty, and there were no Jianlu and the Mongols to cause harm. All these proved that the Ming Dynasty was stronger than ever, and it was a real country in the Celestial Empire and the world's most powerful country!
As soon as he finished speaking, Putmans was first angry and jumped up, walked quickly to Su Minggang, pushed him forward with his hand, and shouted sternly: "If it weren't for the Ming army's sneak attack, how could I be defeated? What's the trick?"
Su Minggang took a lot of steps back and was about to reach the door before he stood firm. At this time, he had already made his promise and was not afraid. He immediately said to the point: "It is the wise who are resourceful to behave!"
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Putmans because he knew that the defeated general was in Batavia and actually had no real say. Therefore, he turned to look at the Governor of Batavia and said, "I hope the Governor will perform according to the contract. After we finish our work, we can go home!"
Kun, Anthony and others were discussing the situation here, but in the final analysis, they were still afraid of the Ming Dynasty. The reason they were told at this time made them a little angry, and Kun was no exception. He sneered and said, "You guys work hard to make more money and work without life. You can blame us for being exhausted when you are exhausted. What a joke!"
Speaking of this, his eyes were shining with a stern look, staring at Su Minggang and said, "I will give you a chance. Today's incident will be considered as never before. Keep being your Kapitan. If you manage those wise people, we will still be friends. How about it?"
"I, Su, don't care about this Jiabidan!" Since Su Minggang has already made his promise, he will not give up until he achieves his goal. He replied without hesitation, "I would like to ask the Governor to be kind to you. We Mingren can go home after completing the work. I brought them out back then, and I don't want them to die here!"
With a "bang", Kun slapped the desk with his palm, stood up, pointed at Su Minggang and shouted sternly: "Okay, since you don't want toast and eat the punishment, I don't believe it. If you don't care about this Kabidan, you will naturally have people who are rare! Come on, drag him out and hang him on the construction site to show his public. In addition, I issued another notice that Su Minggang violated the spirit of the contract and violated the provisions of the contract and was no longer worthy of being Kabidan. Others, as long as they are willing to be Kabidan, regardless of the conditions, will be selected by the governor after registration!"
Hearing this, Su Minggang couldn't help laughing, pointed at Kun and said loudly: "Distoring the black and white, and making things difficult for you Western barbarians, you are indeed a group of barbarians who do not understand civilization and etiquette!"
"Drag it out, drag it out for me!" Kun roared loudly after hearing this.
The guard at the door immediately walked in quickly, raised Su Minggang and dragged it out.
Anthony pointed at Su Minggang with his sword and shouted loudly: "The virtues of you group of Eastern monkeys are like that. Just look at it and tell me that some people will be this Kapitan. We Dutch people have never shortage of dogs!"
His words were not without basis. Since he came to the East, he has seen many intrigues among the Ming people for the sake of profit, and there are many things that have happened in the village.
However, after being mixed up by Su Minggang, they no longer had the interest in discussing matters. The construction of Batavia is related to their foothold in Nanyang. Therefore, this matter must be arranged first, not only delaying the construction progress, but also speeding up the process.
Therefore, Kun pointed to Putmans and said, "You go supervise this matter and let those who sign up for Khabitan make a promise, and write down who can build Batavia as soon as possible, and then give me a look! Before sunset, I will see the list and select the new Khabitan, so that the subsequent construction period cannot be delayed."
When Putmans heard this, he agreed and hurried out.
Kun then turned to look at Anthony and told him, "I will leave the matter of coastal defense to you. Liu Xiang can send someone to reply to them. As long as we agree to our conditions, we can join and let him unite other forces as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Anthony did not dare to neglect it, so he quickly agreed and went out.
Not long after, Su Minggang was hung there in the central square of the Batavia construction site. When Ming people working on the construction site saw him, they left their work in their hands and surrounded them without the Dutch's notification.
At this time, Su Minggang was already fifty-four years old. Because he came to Nanyang to make a living since he was a child, from the outside, people who don’t know think he has more than sixty years of experience.
At this time, such an old man was hanging there, his clothes were stripped off, revealing rows of ribs, and he looked very thin. His mouth was blocked with cloth and he couldn't speak at all.
Below, several natives were guarding each other, placing seats beside the spreader, and Putmans sat there. Naturally, there were natives holding large sun umbrellas for him so that he would not bask in the sun.
Seeing that the Ming people were surrounded, Putmans loudly said Kunzhang's charges, and then glanced at the crowd and said, "Who wants to be Kapitan, come and register."
After saying that, when he saw those Ming people just looking at Su Minggang but did not respond to him, he was very dissatisfied, so he repeated: "Kabidan doesn't have to work, but he can get wages, and he often sees the Governor. If you want to be a person, sign up early to avoid being taken first and regretting it!"
No one responded to his words, but the Ming people around him started to whisper to each other.
As for Mingren's words, he could only understand a few simple words, so he didn't know what they were saying. However, judging from their expressions, he seemed to have an objection to Su Minggang being hung up.
Putmans was very upset to see that Mingren did not show the response he imagined. He stopped repeating it and looked at Mingren who was watching with a cold face.
After waiting for a long time, a wise man finally walked out of the crowd watching, which made Putmans snort coldly in his heart. He really thought that these oriental monkeys had changed their temperament!
Unexpectedly, after the man walked up to him, he questioned him: "Old Su asked us if we could go home after the construction period was over. This is what the original contract said, you agreed from the beginning. May I ask, where did Mr. Su not comply with the contract?"
Putmans didn't expect that he was not here to sign up for Karbidan. He waved his hand and said, "I'm not here to sign up for Karbidan, just get out of here!"
Seeing him like this, the man changed his words and said, "Su is old, can you put him down first?"
