The port of Ceylon Island is devastated, with broken bricks and tiles everywhere. Many houses were half destroyed by the bombing and were directly knocked down for safety reasons. There are large blood stains on the ground, although it has attracted a large number of blowflies for many days.

When people walk past, a black cloud will rise from the ground.

In the distant suburbs of Kulumbo, the flames of burning corpses burned for a month. The cremation pit was filled with ashes and unburned corpses. When the ashes and bones were one foot above the ground, people had to fill the corpse pit.

on it, and then dig another one not far away.

Too many people died! Many corpses had already rotted due to the high temperature for a month. When the Indian prisoners dragged the rotting corpses and threw them into the burning pit, the people and maggots would make a "crackling" sound at the same time.

The month-long tug-of-war directly destroyed the port city. Almost all the houses were damaged, and the streets were filled with homeless refugees. Almost everywhere outside the city, houses built with wood and grass could be seen.

Sewage flowed across the shed and Tamil settlement, and there were remains of feces and urine everywhere. Naked children were playing by the dark green water, picking up things from the ground and putting them in their mouths from time to time.

The Tamil elders were chattering to Li Xiao, complaining that the benefits promised to them by the Ming Dynasty had not been realized. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty came, but the Tamil people did not receive the benefits, and their situation became even worse. The translator next to them actually babbled about the translation, and then

He is a blind person. But there is nothing he can do about it. There is only one person who understands both Tamil and Ming Dynasty Mandarin. In Ceylon, this person is a linguist.

"That's enough! I have something very important to tell that dirty and smelly old bastard today. If you want money and food, you have to exchange it with labor. You need to build a military camp for the army over there, which requires a lot of labor. Let the Tamils ​​go there.

If they work well, I will ensure that they have food to eat every day. If they do a good job, their wives and children may also have food to eat." Li Xiao didn't even look at the Tamil elder or the translator.

When the Tamil elder heard what Li Xiao said, he immediately started nagging again.

"The elder said...!"

"If he talks nonsense again, I will give them a boat and let them all go back to India. Anyway, it is not far from India. It only takes a few hours by sailing." Li Xiao looked back at the translator who didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

This fat-headed merchant is really out of his mind and can translate everything he says.

The Tamil elder immediately shut up and walked away crying.

To expect the invaders to have justice, conscience, or even keep their promises is completely out of the blue. Since the other side chooses to set foot on your land with military boots, it wants to use force to solve the problem.

There is nothing simpler and more direct than force. Now the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Tamil people is completely that of the conqueror and the conquered. Does the conquered still want conditions? I am not one of those people who wants to be a bitch and

A moral gentleman who wants to build a memorial arch.

I only want to be a bitch and I will never build a memorial arch!

Indian prisoners need to be transported back to the Ming Dynasty to work as coolies. The Ming Dynasty is now like a monster, devouring resources as high as a mountain every day. The coolies are always not enough. Now it is better. There are tens of thousands of young and strong guys available. I must be Ai Hu

Students will definitely be happier, at least this battle will make some money. The holes in the household department can also be filled to some extent.

Since the Indian prisoners have to be transported back, the important task of rebuilding the city of Colombo can only be done by the Tamils.

The transport ship brought a lot of rice from Siam. This is the tax paid by the King of Siam to the Ming Dynasty this year. As long as the Tamil people are willing to work, they can receive food to feed their families. This is equivalent to a system restart, and the original wealthy people

The household is now penniless. Because starting from today in Kulumbo, the currency in circulation is no longer Indian rupees, but Ming Dynasty copper coins and silver coins. As for things like gold bars, they are still considered luxury goods.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it is also an opportunity for people at the bottom to make a fortune. I hope they can seize it. Once someone seizes it, they will definitely be the next generation.

There is a saying that goes very well: Challenges and opportunities coexist!

There was an explosion not far away, and Shunzi immediately pounced on Li Xiao. The guards around him drew their guns one after another. Li Xiao, who was knocked down by Shunzi in embarrassment, pushed Shunzi away. After so many years, he can even distinguish the sound of landmine explosions.

If you don't come out, why do you still have the nerve to say that you are a soldier?

During the tug of war, both sides laid a large number of landmines. Some of these mines were stepped on, some were lifted out, and some were detonated by artillery shells. The last remaining ones need to be discovered by latecomers. It doesn't matter who discovers it.

Anyway, Li Xiao doesn’t want it to be one of his own.

Sure enough, all the Tamil people ran over. There was a faint sound of crying and howling...!

I had no intention of watching the life and death of the Tamil people, because a merchant ship had already entered the port. This merchant ship was a little smaller than the Zhenyuan, and it was filled with Japanese soldiers. The deck was as densely packed with people as ants, and the things on the ship were basically

It was emptied, and all the places that could accommodate people were filled with people.

Eight thousand six hundred and thirty-one people! This is the exact number of Japanese people who retreated. Just a month ago, there were a full 27,000 people who followed Li Xiao to land in Bombay.

The Japanese soldiers were in rags and had disheveled hair, and many of them had faces blackened by gunpowder smoke. They were all so skinny that they staggered when they walked when they got off the ship. Everyone was carrying a gun, and they didn't even have a bayonet.

Throw away.

Many people were injured and had to be helped down by the robes.

Li Xiao closed his eyes. This was the scene he least wanted to see. When the Second Division withdrew, they had the same ragged clothes, the same disheveled hair, and the same embarrassed appearance, but many of them were empty-handed.

The Japanese soldiers suffered such heavy casualties, but they did not discard their weapons. Many soldiers still had yellow bullets in their bullet belts, and grenades were inserted into their belts.

I always think that if the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty die less, it will be better if even one less person dies. These mercenaries will fight tough battles, vicious battles, and cannon fodder battles. People's lives in the Ming Dynasty are precious and cannot be wasted like this.

Now, hard battles, vicious battles, and cannon fodder battles are all coming. On the battlefield, they explained what is the bravery of soldiers, and also gave Li Xiao a new understanding of bushido. Facing blood and fire, life and death,

Such troops as Buweiwei... would definitely be a disaster for the Ming Dynasty.

As powerful as the Tang Dynasty, when the troops in Guanzhong were not enough, they always liked to use the blood of foreign soldiers to increase military glory for the Tang Dynasty. Later, Anlu Mountain and Shi Siming were raised. The powerful Tang Dynasty and the prosperous city of Chang'an were destroyed

As soon as this happened, the most powerful dynasty of the Han nation came to an end. It was not until hundreds of years later that Li Yuanhao of the Xixia Dynasty appeared. The Dangxiang people actually considered themselves the last survivors of the Li Tang Dynasty!

After the tragedy, the Han nation never had a strong political power for thousands of years.

A bloody lesson! A lesson that has made a nation sink for thousands of years!

If one day the Ming Dynasty is no longer able to suppress the Japanese country, what will happen? Will history repeat itself? He actually made such a mistake. Every time he thinks of the tragic scenes in those photos, Li Xiao feels chills running down his spine.

It is always said that the Han nation is the toughest, most hard-working, and most resilient nation in the world. But these Japanese soldiers in front of them eat three rice dumplings every day, drink bitter and astringent water, lack food and ammunition, and fight.

The most difficult and hopeless blocking battle. The purpose was just to allow the Ming soldiers to escape as soon as possible.

shame!

The officers and soldiers of the Second Division, led by Yuan Chonghuan, stood on the dock and watched the Japanese soldiers tremblingly get off the ship.

"Salute!" There was a loud command, and everyone raised their right hands.

"Brother! Did you see it in the sky? The soldiers of the above country saluted you, brother! Did you see it?" Momojiro knelt on the ground and raised the bag of soil on his back, looking at the blue sky.
