Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Page 641



Shi Lang would not refuse Zhang Jiexu's banquet, he laughed boldly:

"Hahaha...well, since I met my compatriots thousands of miles away, of course Shi Lang will not lose face and lead the way!"

Not only Zhang Jiexu felt very honored to see General Daming agreed to go to their residence to drink, but other Chinese also felt warm in their hearts.

Chapter 525 Unique scenery

As the saying goes, "Soldiers never tire of cheating"

Although they are all from Daming's own family, after all, they have established a firm foothold on Ambona Island. Now they are like the Emperor of Earth. Do you want Daming to take it back?

Therefore, Shi Lang was very easy-going on the surface, but he was still on guard in his heart. The soldiers of the Ming army were all smiling and watching the situation on the island vigilantly.

Once someone wanted to attack them, the soldiers of the Ming army would kill them without hesitation.

But soon the soldiers discovered that Zhang Jiexu had no malicious intentions, which could be seen from the eyes of the people on the island.

After seeing the fully armed Ming army landing on the island, the Chinese on the island were full of surprise and kindness, as if relatives who had not seen each other for a long time suddenly reunited.

This kind of intimacy is definitely not something that can be pretended, it is a kind of true feelings.

"Welcome to the Ming Dynasty Navy"

"The Ming army is mighty."

"Long live Daming."

…………

The Chinese on the island gathered on both sides of the road and shouted and applauded, which made Shi Lang and the soldiers of the Ming army very warm in their hearts.

This is the only island that has welcomed the Ming army with both hands up since their expedition, making the soldiers feel like they are coming home.

Shi Lang and the soldiers also smiled and waved to the Chinese on the island.

Soon everyone came to the island owner's mansion. The island owner's mansion is not as luxurious as in the legend, and almost all houses are made of wood.

However, the scale is not small. It consists of many houses, and it is not a problem to accommodate hundreds of people.

With so many people coming, there were not enough chairs in the island lord's mansion, and everyone brought their own stools for the Ming army to sit down.

It is easy to work if there are many people. With everyone busy together, all kinds of fruits are placed in front of the soldiers of the Ming army.

There are nata de cocos, bananas, tangerines, oranges, sugar cane, cooked corn, watermelons and more!

Zhang Jiexu asked Shi Lang to sit at the head, and he stood beside Shi Lang and said with a smile to Shi Lang and the soldiers of the Ming army:

"Ming officers and soldiers, welcome to Ambona Island. These are special products of our island. Come and try them..."

The soldiers looked at the chief general Shi Lang, seeing that Shi Lang didn't nod, they didn't dare to make a move.

After all, it was a time of war, and they were the Ming army who came to attack Ambona Island, so they were still worried about fraud.

It's not that they are worried about the Chinese on the island. They must be treated specially in special times. No one can bear the result of the loss of the army.

Even when the Ming army captured Batavia, only three people died in battle. If the ship capsized in the sewer on such a small island, Shi Lang's commander would be defeated.

Zhang Jiexu was also a well-informed veteran, how could he fail to see the psychological thoughts of the soldiers of the Ming army.

He waved his hand:

"Come on, try one of each fruit, and I will take the lead."

"Click"

As Zhang Jiexu said, he picked up a piece of fruit, opened his mouth and took a big bite and ate it.

Then a group of people came up and took out one of each fruit and ate it in front of the soldiers of the Ming army.

To be honest, Zhang Jiexu could understand the thoughts of the soldiers of the Ming army, and he didn't complain that Shi Lang didn't believe them at all.

If this happened to anyone, they would not dare to joke about the lives of hundreds of soldiers.

"General, we are all citizens of Daming who fled from Daming. We live on this unfamiliar deserted island. Seeing you coming is like seeing relatives at home. Please believe that we are all kind and loyal Daming people... "Update the fastest.tv./ m.tv./

Shi Lang smiled slightly, got up and took Zhang Jiexu's arm, and pushed him to sit on the stool beside him.

"Island Master Zhang is worrying too much. We are all a family. We don't mean to disbelieve you. This is a habit left over from many years of fighting."

As Shi Lang said, he nodded to the soldiers, and the soldiers picked up a piece of fruit to eat.

"Come on, let's cook immediately. Today we will entertain the relatives from Daming."

"Okay, eat some fruit first, and the food and wine will be served soon."

Seeing that the Ming army finally believed in them, Zhang Jiexu was in a good mood, and hurriedly sent orders to light a fire and cook a feast for the Ming navy officers and soldiers.

Zhang Jiexu's assistant hurriedly got up and took dozens of people to prepare food and drinks, and the rest of them went to the seaside to admire the iron-clad battleship of Ming Dynasty.

After Shi Lang ate a banana, he began to observe the staffing on the island, and soon found a problem.

From coming to the island till now, Shi Lang has not seen a single woman, nor has he seen any children. Almost all the islanders are Chinese men in their 30s.

So Shi Lang got up and prepared to look around:

"Island Master Zhang, can you take me to enjoy the scenery of the island?"

Zhang Jiexu hastily cupped his fists and said:

"It's fine at that time, the governor, please follow me!"

The two got up and walked out of the island lord's mansion, and the soldiers of the Ming army followed immediately. They would not let the governor wander alone, and they must ensure the safety of the governor.

Shi Lang looked back at the hundreds of brothers and said with a smile:

"It doesn't take so many people to follow, just Li Qiang and 50 people follow me."

"Yes"

Li Qiang is Shi Lang's confidant and the captain of his guard.

Li Qiang agreed, and picked fifty guards with good marksmanship and good martial arts, and followed closely behind Shi Lang and Zhang Jiexu.

Although there were only 50 people, they were fully armed. Not only did they wear grenades around their waists, but four of them also carried two mortars.

To put it bluntly, it is not a big problem for these 50 people to wipe out more than 1000 people on the island.

Zhang Jiexu just smiled slightly at this, he could understand the feelings of the soldiers of the Ming army, and it was their duty to protect the governor.
