Late Ming Dynasty: Conquering the world starting from riding and cutting
Chapter 43 Keelung

Now that the cavalry and slashing panel has released the task, Qin Hao thinks that this task is very reasonable and there is no reason to refuse it.
Looking at the captain in front of him who was chewing dried venison, he could only say sorry in his heart.
Although your politeness makes me have a good impression of you, the moment you set foot on the colonial road, we are destined to become enemies and will never have any relationship again.
"Your Majesty General, it's getting late, I should go back." After chewing the last bite of dried deer, Amorim stretched his limbs and stood up slowly.
"Yeah" Qin Hao responded softly and continued to sit and watch his next move.
But after a moment, Qin Hao saw Amorim's expression gradually change.
From surprise to helplessness to despair.
It is impossible for him to go back alone. He is a captain and has the responsibility to take his soldiers back, even if they have turned into cold corpses. If he can't. This would be a great shame.
The soldiers have sacrificed their lives on the battlefield. This is their honor. In return, their souls should also get the comfort they deserve. This is not their resting place. Besides, there is no pastor here and no one prays for them. It is difficult for his soul to be saved.
If Qin Hao knew what Amorim was thinking now, he would definitely sneer at him. This kind of method used by the Pope to fool people is really low-level and pitiful.
But this is the case in this era. Religious ideological trends are very popular in Europe, Central Asia, including the New World. The Pope is the absolute religious leader and spiritual pillar of Europe and the New World, while the kings of various countries are just secular managers arranged by the Pope. They want to gain the status of kings. To be recognized by the throne and other countries, you must first obtain the crown of the "Lord" in the human world, that is, the pope's crown.
"Your Excellency General, I wonder if you are willing to help these warriors who sacrificed their lives heroically." Amorim looked at Qin Hao with pleading eyes. Now he only had this person in front of him to turn to.
"I'm extremely happy." Qin Hao replied very gentlemanly. His goal was also very clear. I will help you go back, and you will take me to San Salvador. We will help each other. Apart from saving lives, we owe nothing to each other.
"Thank you for your kindness and help. Amorim will always remember your kindness."
"Helping you is also helping me." Qin Hao muttered calmly, but in fact he dismissed it in his heart: In the age of great strife, all kindness and kindness are hypocritical. This era has been overwhelmed by interests. The mind, especially in European countries, will only listen to every word they say. As for whether to believe it or not, only the Pope's toilet paper may know.
After resting for a while, Qin Hao arranged for half of the soldiers to pack and sort out the corpses of the Spaniards. Some of them were still on the other side of the river. It was not known whether they had been taken away by the Shanfan people. We had to wait and see to find out what was left. The second half went to drive out the baggage carriage that had been parked in the forest, and assemble an empty carriage to place the remains of the Spanish soldiers.
After everything was ready, we started heading towards San Salvador.
Along the way, Qin Hao was sitting in front of the first car, looking at the surrounding scenery with no interest, while Wang Jiu, who was sitting beside him, silently stared at Amorim, a Spaniard who kept talking. Observing it is like the curiosity of a primary school student who sees a giraffe in the zoo and does not know what it is, or the astonishment of Grandma Liu in the Dream of Red Mansions when she first entered the Grand View Garden and entered a wonderland.
He has lived in the mountains since he was a child, isolated from the world. It was only after he fled that he learned of the existence of the Ming Dynasty. For a typical Spanish blond and blue-eyed man like Amorim, it was strangely tight.
Amorim felt uncomfortable being stared at all the time. He didn't know why Qin Hao's man was acting like this. He thought he had some special hobby, so he had to turn his head to the side and look at the other soldiers.
You must know that in this age of great navigation, Amorim has met many such people. Even when he came to the Far East by ship, he raised several goats in the kitchen on the ship. At first, he thought they were used for slaughtering. Yes, but he was surprised that he hadn't had a bite even after halfway through the journey.
Until one night when he went out to put out water and was about to come up from the cabin, he happened to see a young sailor taking off his pants and doing something indescribable to the goat when passing by the kitchen. Such a scene made him swear that he would never do it again. Knowing how to eat goat meat is simply an insult to the honor of the nobility.
The journey went smoothly. I didn't encounter any enemies, but I saw a lot of small animals and the like. Sitting in the carriage, the return speed was more than twice as fast as when Amorim came. Before noon, they reached the last hill on the coastline. Standing on the hill, they could overlook the entire coastline.
The fog on the sea last night has been completely dissipated by the sunshine. The sea is broad, the wind is light, the gulls are chirping, and the salty sea breeze is blowing. Everything is so beautiful.
"Your Excellency General, the city of San Salvador is on the west side of the island, still half an hour away." Amorim pointed to a point on the island in the distance.
Qin Hao looked over and saw a small black dot, but it was too far away. Even with his extraordinary eyesight, he couldn't see what it was.
However, as for the situation here, Qin Hao heard Zhuge Xuan say before he came that the city of San Salvador was built on Sheliao Island, which was a small city on the west side of Heping Island in later generations. Later, in the battle with the Dutch, only the west side was left. There is a city wall in front of it, which was completely blown up by Japanese bombs during World War II. Nothing is left, which is sad.
Qin Hao didn't know much about Sheliao Island, but he still knew about the land under his feet. He once traveled here - Keelung in later generations.
Although this land is now barren, it is definitely a good place for development. Once he successfully captures the city of San Salvador, Qin Hao will prepare to build a city here as an important location for early development.
However, there is no Peace Bridge yet. Sheliao Island and the plain of Keelung are not connected yet. You have to cross the sea by boat. The waterway not far away from Sheliao Island is the second largest in Taiwan in later generations. Seaport - Keelung Port.
When the group arrived at the beach, there were five small boats that had been waiting here for a long time. There were two Spanish oarsmen sitting on each small boat. The moment they saw Qin Hao's team, they thought that the enemy was coming. , his face was full of shock, while he exclaimed and shouted, he shook the rudder blade and left quickly.
Fortunately, Amorim called in time and explained to them for a long time, saying that these people were not enemies, but friends who were helping him. However, no matter how he explained it, these paddlers refused to believe it and were unwilling to go ashore. They only called Amorim. Morim came down and walked with them.
How could Amorim agree? He scolded them angrily: "We have brought water back. If you don't carry it, you won't be able to get the water. When the time comes, I will let you be punished severely when we go back." "
A person who can crush people to death at the highest official level will be used no matter where they are!
After all, this group of helmsmen could not resist Amorim, who was the adjutant. In addition, the island was already severely short of water at this time, so they tentatively and cautiously went ashore with the paddles, but they were at a loss for a moment. Stand aside.
It wasn't until Amorim urged them to move the buckets that they realized. One by one, they excitedly and slightly frightenedly took the barrels of pure water from the hands of the Nord guards.
"Water, it's really water." The helmsmen opened the barrel and smelled it again and again. When the pure breath hit their noses, they couldn't hold back their hands and began to drink one by one.
Their actions made Amorim on the side dumbfounded. Fortunately, they brought a lot of water this time, which was enough for the soldiers on the island to use for a while. Seeing how thirsty they looked, he did not stop them. He just laughed and kicked them a few times. The foot said: "Just drink, don't waste water!"
After their excitement had passed, Qin Hao and his party began to officially cross the sea. The sea was actually just a waterway. The sea was calm and calm, with seagulls circling overhead. From time to time, a few large yellow croakers crossed the water. There were no accidents along the way, just small ones. There were not many boats, and it took three trips to transport all the people and supplies to the island.
