Ming dynasty? Ow rent? what happened?
De Figo had just arrived in Macau, and he was so stupid that he couldn’t tell the difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty! So I turned around and asked an old Portuguese man next to me, "Daming? Isn't it Qing? Are they a family?"
"That, that's impossible!" The old Portuguese looked surprised, "The Ming Dynasty has been destroyed! It has been destroyed a long time ago! Why are you still asking for rent?"
"Destroyed? Then... where did they come from?"
No one can answer De Figo's question.
Although some people know that there are still some remnants of the destroyed Ming Dynasty that are still lingering on, but no one can figure out how those lingering Ming Dynasty troops came to Macau? It seems that the Portuguese in Macau have not offended them. Not only did they not offend, Macau also provided a lot of help when the Ming Dynasty resisted the Qing Dynasty.
Why are you turning your back on me now?
"Put down your weapons and surrender immediately, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!" The Tomorrow soldiers over there shouted again, "I'll count to ten, if you don't surrender, we'll open fire! One, two, three..."
"Don't, don't, don't..." De Figo didn't dare to fight against the Tomorrow Soldiers. Most of his people were unarmed and only had wooden basins, barrels and brooms. A few of them also had pistols and swords. But it is impossible to fight these heavily armed enemies!
But he was not willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty... If he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he could still be a Portuguese bannerman. What would he do if he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty? Did the Ming Dynasty have bannermen? It seems not?
"Who is your leader?" De Figo said, "I want to negotiate!"
"Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine..."
The only answer he received was a cold count!
Negotiation is impossible to negotiate!
Zhu Heji's order was to let the Portuguese surrender or die!
And when the number reached "nine", De Figo finally couldn't stand it any longer. He had a gun! His only people are brooms...
"Don't, don't, don't... we surrender, we surrender!" As he said this, he shouted to the people around him, "Quick, throw away your weapons, basins, barrels, and brooms, and then raise your hands! "
It’s okay if he doesn’t surrender!
You can't fight with the enemy's muskets, spears, and swords with a broom and a wooden basin, right? This is no different from dying!
With a sudden "disarmament sound", more than 300 Portuguese colonists and their black slave soldiers all raised their hands high and became prisoners.
The battle to attack Macau is considered a victory in the first battle!
Although the victory is a bit weak, a victory is a victory!
By this time, the smoke bombs that had been lit earlier had burned out, and the smoke on the pier had almost dispersed. Zhu Heji, who had already disembarked from the boat and was standing with Smith, Charlie Gough, Jones, Da Boling, and Ji Dabao to watch the battle, naturally saw the large group of surrendered Portuguese colonists.
He was in a good mood, grinning widely and saying: "Haha, so many people have been captured... It seems that there are not many defenders in the Macau Castle, right?"
"Master, you are too optimistic!" Ji Dabao said coldly at this time.
"Optimistic?" Zhu Heji looked at the expressionless Ji Dabao with a smile, as if waiting for his explanation.
"Look carefully, most of the people arrested are black people!"
"Black people?" Zhu Heji took a closer look and saw that there were quite a few black people. "It doesn't matter, black people's lives matter."
Black Lives Matter? Ji Dabao didn't understand what Zhu Heji was talking about for a moment, but he still said in a cold tone: "Sir, the Portuguese military system is a white musketeer with about ten black slaves... and Macau There are about one hundred and fifty white musketeers stationed in the castle! So only a small part of them are captured now!"
I see!
Zhu Heji laughed, "It doesn't matter, I will catch the rest soon!"
"My lord, you have to act quickly, otherwise all the Portuguese will retreat into the castle and you will be unable to do anything."
Zhu Heji smiled happily, "Let them shrink, if they shrink, none of them will run away..."
It's not that Zhu Heji really doesn't want to be quick, but he just can't do it quickly.
Because the East India Company's dedicated wharf is not very big, and it can handle at most three ships at the same time, it would be overwhelming to be able to disembark thousands of people at a time. The remaining troops and supplies were either slowly transported by small boats, or had to be queued up with the larger ships.
Moreover, the main reason why Zhu Heji started the Macau War was not to fight against imperialism, but to win people's heads!
So after "cheating and winning" the battle at the East India Company's dock, Zhu Heji immediately called his general Lin Ahu to him.
"Hu Lin, you immediately bring four infantry leaders across the Guanzha River to support Su Zhanshan and Zhou Chaoxian." Zhu Heji said, "Remember, we must control the Daqiang Field as soon as possible... After that, Leave two infantrymen to guard the hunting ground, and the rest will return to the dock. The Gu family will lead them to attack the St. Paul's Fortress!"
Capturing the East India Company's wharf and the Great Forecourt is only the beginning of successfully capturing Macau. Capturing St. Paul's Fortress is the final victory!
"Yes!" Lin Ahu responded, then turned to summon his men.
As soon as he left, Military Advisor Zhuge came out of the boat and helped him down. The great military advisor looked a little haggard... Zhu Hexin said: "It seems that like Zhuge Liang, he is not used to water fighting!"
"Your Majesty," Military Advisor Zhuge saw Zhu Heji standing on the dock with a proud look on his face, and quickly stepped forward to remind him, "We must seize the time to unload the ships now... We still have seven or eight ships waiting. Unloading cargo and people! In addition, this dock is very close to the fort. If the Portuguese cannon fires, we will not be able to unload cargo and people with peace of mind."
In fact, he was not afraid of firing. Zhu Heji had brought enough smoke bombs to cover the ships and docks, but it was not convenient to unload the ships in the smoke.
"Commander," Zhu Heji looked at Military Counselor Zhuge who was shaking his feather fan, "Do you have any clever ideas?"
Military Advisor Zhuge smiled and said: "We can ask that Charlie Gough to take the newly captured Portuguese soldier leader to the St. Paul Fort to persuade him to surrender... He came and went twice and persuaded him for two or three hours. Why don't we just let him surrender?" Is the ship finished unloading?”
"That's a good idea!" Zhu Heji nodded and said to himself, "This great strategist is still a little clever."
"In addition," Zhuge Military Advisor added, "there are Portuguese naval forces here in Macau. They were deceived by us just now. Now that they find out that they have been deceived, they will definitely come to rob our ships... We must make preparations in advance. !”
Zhu Heji smiled and said: "Don't worry, military advisor, I have already prepared! If the Portuguese warships dare to come, they will be completely annihilated!"
As soon as he said this, Yu Xiaoqian had already escorted De, Figo and Ji Dabao, who was acting as translator, over.
"Boss, we caught a Portuguese soldier leader!" This Yu Xiaoqian is Mr. Yu's son, and Xiao Zhu is two or three years old. Unlike Zhu Heji, his biological father was Mr. Yu's brother, Mr. Yu Erye, and he was adopted by Mr. Yu to inherit the incense.
He was not very familiar with Zhu Heji at first, but since Zhu Heji entered Jieyang, this round-headed Yu Xiaoqian followed Zhu Heji and called him a big boss, and even called him Emperor Chongzhen. Consider yourself your godson!
Of course, Zhu Heji also took good care of this little brother, and absorbed him into the Jinyi Guards as one of the four young artillery commanders - this young artillery fourth commander and a bearded cavalry commander commanded by Su Yong's eldest nephew Su Zhanhai. , now Zhu Heji’s most direct unit, the personal soldier among the personal soldiers!
"Go and bring the Portuguese soldier leader over," Zhu Heji said, "and call Charlie Goff too!"
"Got the order!"
