Rebirth of the Four Seas Emperor

Among the barbarian prisoners captured by the Baoan Army, 800 were Portuguese mercenaries. They were also the first group to surrender to the Baoan Army, so they suffered almost no losses.

Francis and Sebastian were also panicked when they saw so many Portuguese compatriots being arrested. They knew how angry Hou Yao was this time.

But the eight hundred compatriots had to be saved, so the two of them had been discussing how to persuade Hou Yao to release these eight hundred compatriots.

At this moment, Liu Chengfu suddenly brought people over and took away all the prisoners, and they immediately panicked.

"Brigadier Liu, where are you taking our compatriots?"

Liu Chengfu was actually angry and hated these barbarians, but these two were Hou Yao's guests, so he could only reply patiently:

"Your Majesty has ordered that all the barbarian captives be taken to the church square and executed to comfort the spirits of the people of Daxia in heaven."

Francis and Sebastian are both stupid. How can they pay for the Spanish mistakes with the lives of the Portuguese?

"That's not right, Brigadier Liu. This is an order from the Spanish and has nothing to do with us Portuguese. You..."

Liu Chengfu didn't want to talk nonsense to him, so he pushed him away:

"Shut up. I'm a soldier. I only obey orders. Stop talking nonsense to me. Get out..."

Francis was pushed and staggered, relying on Sebastian's support to stand up. He also knew in his heart that there was no point in looking for Liu Chengfu, so he could only go to Hou Yao:

"Your Majesty, the lives of these eight hundred compatriots are in our hands. Only we can save them."

Sebastian nodded and said with a mournful expression:

"Yes, go to Hou Yao. Only he can forgive their sins now."

The two of them ran quickly towards the church.

In the church square, Hou Yao tied Salazar to the cross, his eyes filled with hatred for this old man.

"Bitch, how dare you, an old dog, do such an outrageous thing? Twenty thousand lives, how dare you?"

Although Salazar was frightened, he persisted:

"They are all pagans who cannot be converted. Only death can purify their unclean bodies. I am redeeming them. I purify their life-long sins in the name of the Holy Spirit."

Hou Yao couldn't bear it anymore, slapped him in the face, and cursed angrily:

"What qualifications do you have to decide the life and death of immigrants from Daxia? There is a saying in the Xia Kingdom: Grievances have their heads, and debts have their owners. Whoever is at fault should be punished. Why do you have to involve so many innocent people? Don't let those children go, they Where have you sinned against your Jesus?”

Salazar said firmly:

"Their blood is original sin, and their bodies are filled with the blood of sin, which can only be purified by death."

Hou Yao's perverted Salazar no longer gave up hope, but said to the surrounding Baoan troops:

"Did you all hear it? This person has committed such a heinous crime. If you don't let him suffer the sufferings of the world, if you don't deserve the souls who died."

The guards did not speak. Chen Junnan smiled and said:

"It's better to leave this person to me. I can also practice sword skills. Ling Chi's three sword strikes will definitely not let him feel any less of the sword."

Hou Yao nodded and turned to leave, but before he took two steps, he bumped into Francis and Sebastian.

"Sir, why should the Spaniards' mistakes be paid for with the blood of the Portuguese? This is unfair."

Francis was a little impatient at this time, and Hou Yao was usually quite polite to him, but he forgot his identity and spoke in a questioning tone.

Hou Yao was already in a bad mood, so of course he would not tolerate him:

"Didn't these Portuguese take part in the massacre? They were all executioners with blood on their hands. Which one was innocent?"

At this moment, a scream of "ah" came, and a Portuguese prisoner was already being executed.

In a few breaths, several compatriots were killed. Fang Luo's eyes were about to burst, and he roared at Hou Yao again:

"Sir, please stop and spare these children of God."

Sebastian also begged:

"Sir, please let our compatriots go. We will be Daxia's most loyal friends."

"what……."

Screams came and went, the sound deafening.

Francis was really angry and yelled at Hou Yao:

"Sir, how can the lives of those pagans be compared to the lives of Portuguese soldiers..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. Hou Yao was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that Francis had such a thought in his heart.

He had wanted to take advantage of him before, but now he could fully see the wolfish ambition of this bitch.

Francis himself was shocked, and he accidentally said everything from the bottom of his heart. At this time, he was still thinking about how to redeem himself.

But Hou Yao didn't give him any chance at all. He directly pulled out the waist knife of the guard beside him and slashed Francis in the face.

'pooh'

"what--."

Francis' face was split open with a knife, and he let out a deafening howl.

However, Hou Yao was not strong enough, and Francis was only slightly injured.

Although he cut with a knife, Hou Yao could not eliminate the anger in his heart, and immediately shouted at the guards behind him:

"Drag this man down and execute him together with the other barbarians. Zhang Daya, send someone back to Bao'an County to convey my order, and ask Ma Feixing to immediately clean up all the barbarians in Guangdong Province. Kill one on sight, kill two on sight, and send someone to Go to Guangzhou Prefecture to inform Lord He Jianbai and order all people in the province who believe in Catholicism to be deported. Notify Zhou Shengfan that if there are barbarians participating in the cooperative trading company, the price will be increased by 50.00%, and the barbarian trading company will increase the price by 80.00%."

"Yes, my lord."

Zhang Daya didn't dare to express his anger, so he quickly followed the order and left.

Hou Yao turned his head and looked at Sebastian, murderous intent suddenly appearing in his eyes.

Although Sebastian couldn't understand the official language, he knew that they had touched someone's bottom line when Hou Yao slashed Francis.

As a man who had been a king, he naturally knew that it was wrong for them to come to fight Hou Yao now.

In fact, if you calm down and think about it, you will know that those Portuguese people were those who participated in the massacre of Xia immigrants.

If he were the one in power in the Xia Kingdom, he would never let them go so easily. Sebastian was not very keen on saving those so-called compatriots from the beginning.

It's just that he is now dependent on Francis, so he has to obey his wishes. Now that Francis has finished playing, there is no need to worry about him anymore.

Seeing Hou Yao's murderous eyes directed at him, Sebastian quickly shouted in Latin:

"Sir, those pirates who massacred civilians deserve to die, but the most important thing now is to save the Xia immigrants who are still alive. You should immediately order a part of the army to go out of the city to find the survivors of the Xia immigrants. On the way here just now, I saw the indigenous people on the road. There are almost no young men. It is estimated that all their young men have gone to hunt down the immigrants from the Xia Kingdom."

A trace of surprise flashed in Hou Yao's eyes:

"Won't you intercede for your fellow man?"

Sebastian shook his head and said:

"Those people are not my compatriots, they are pirates. Our Portuguese regular army will never commit the evil act of massacring civilians. Sir, even if you don't kill them, they will be severely punished by Portuguese laws when they return to the country."

Hou Yao nodded slightly, but looked at Sebastian differently.

This is a smart person. A smart person knows what he should do. With his identity and background, this person can be used.

He immediately said to the guards around him:

"You escort Mr. Sebastian back to the ship first and protect him."

"Yes, my lord."

Seeing that Hou Yao had arranged for a guard to take him away, Sebastian looked hesitant and did not dare to follow the guard.

Hou Yao frowned and said:

"You go back to the ship with him first, and now we are hunting down the Spaniards. Don't you want to be thought of as a Spaniard and killed?"

Only then did Sebastian gratefully follow the guard and immediately felt the joy of escaping.

Francis was going crazy when he saw Sebastian being escorted away, but now that he was dying, no one would care about him no matter how angry he was.

'pooh'

After the sword fell, there was no more sound.

Hou Yao glanced at Francis' head and felt a little sorry.

The plan to use Eastern Protestantism to fight against Catholicism was aborted at the beginning. It is really not as good as God.

After sighing, he walked into the church, hesitated for a moment, and decided to stay here.

But he wanted to leave another stone monument here to clearly record what happened today, so that the crimes of the Spaniards would be known to future generations.

……

The Masungi Mountains are located twenty miles outside Manila.

This is a karst landform with numerous peaks, canyons, dense vegetation, and karst caves that are great for hiding.

The total number of refugees who escaped from the south of Balian City was about [-] and they all fled into the Masongji area.

Those who survived were basically young and strong, and the young and old were basically the first group to be massacred.

Hu Zhiyi and Yaomei fled here with other refugees.

After he was arrested in Baoan last time, he was released after the war because he did not do much evil. After escaping back, he found that Li Jingfeng had become the city lord.

He was afraid that he would be recognized by Li Jingfeng, so he had been living in hiding.

After Li Jingfeng left, he couldn't find any other suitable job for a while and could only work as a porter at a dock outside the city.

Fortunately, he had worked as a porter for so long and had gained some strength. When the massacre began, he rushed home with all his strength, but it was too late.

The mother and the two younger brothers who were hiding in the cupboard and the box were all killed. Only the younger sister who was hiding in the pile of firewood survived.

He and his little sister followed other refugees to fight their way out of the city and escaped all the way here.

Everyone found a big cave to hide in, and it was finally safer.

It's just that it has been three days since we arrived here, and now everyone is facing a more serious problem: not enough food.

On the way to escape, a group of young men and women robbed several large indigenous families of food, and they had almost nothing to eat during the time they escaped here.

In the past two days, we hunted some game in the surrounding areas, and everyone could barely eat until today. There is no food for tomorrow.

There are more than 1 of them. Hunting alone cannot satisfy the food needs of so many people. What should we do now?

Hu Zhiyi got a bowl of porridge and water to feed Yaomei, and then held her to put her to sleep. At this time, a strong man came over and called him:

"Brother Hu, Brother Huang asked me to call you over to discuss what to do tomorrow? There are so many of us, we can't be trapped here..."
