Chapter 268: Domingo

Gone are the days when imperialism set up artillery on the coast of China.

"Governor Yi, since your troops have fled to the coast of China, they have acted perversely, and the heavens are angry and resentful, and today the DPRK has sent great heavenly soldiers, which is enough to annihilate your whole book, but God has the virtue of a good life, as long as you abandon your weapons and surrender, we will protect your right to live and treat you as prisoners of war protected by law......"

He looked at the persuasion book printed in Dutch with some anger, the grammatical differences in it were personally ignored by him, and he was a little surprised that the natives actually understood Dutch, but in fact, no one among the elders understood, relying only on machines.

But for Yu Yi, surrender is impossible, it will never be possible, once he loses Taiwan's territory, he becomes an empty governor, and he will definitely be directly used as a scapegoat by those directors of the company, which is almost a certainty, the company never talks about any warmth, never looks at how much money you help them make, but only how much they lose.

He gritted his teeth and roared: "The company won't ignore us, that's it, they will resist me, they don't dare to attack the city now, naturally they are afraid of us, as long as we hold it, our property can be preserved." ”

The messenger was a captured Dutch soldier, at this time people were very frightened, because he was more "lucky", his comrades standing next to him were directly shot in the head, covered with blood, frightened hands and feet, fell to the ground, so he was regarded as a dead body, not taken care of, and after that, he also surrendered obediently, not humming or haha, honest very.

The task of delivering the letter was naturally entrusted to him.

However, everyone hoped to get from him the reason why the barbarians were suddenly so strong and so ruthless, was it the abominable Spanish heresy, or the abominable Portuguese?

The current Spain is almost the most capable man of the Catholic forces, and it is not at odds with the Dutch, who are bent on starting to play Protestantism.

"They are all yellows, there is no doubt about it, but the weapons in their hands are really terrible, those muskets that can fire in bursts, can be moved by two people, but can be directly fired into the city, they are all operated in their hands, oh my God, are these the weapons of the devil, woo, forgive me, Lord, I often doubt your existence."

This soldier was close to hysteria, but for the others, especially the big merchants who had a lot of sailors under their hands, it was simply a fantasy, all along, but the Spaniards, the Portuguese were helping the Ming people train gunners and forge cannons, and now you tell them that these people have such powerful weapons all at once, who can believe it.

"Are you stupid, how can there be a cannonball that can be fired continuously!"

"Boom!"

The mortars continued to fire, leaving them on pins and needles, and as a last resort, they had to send people out to "negotiate".

This candidate is the most difficult choice, everyone is out to do business, they are all outlaws like pirates, but no one does what they sacrificed in vain, and the terrible natives have mastered terrible weapons by trading with demons, and how to listen to what evil things are going to do.

In the end, the unpopular missionary Domingo was pushed over by the ducks, and he barely straightened his waist, holding a cross flag, and holding the crucian in his hand, and slowly walked towards the "devil" outside the city.

Domingo came all the way out of the inner city, at this time the outer city was already a mess, and the foreigners in the city moved quickly before, and quickly ran into the inner city, but many goods were messed up, thanks to most of the people in the city were outlaws who came out to make money, and they didn't bring their wives and children, so there was no real chaos.

However, there are still corpses, and they have already caused a lot of casualties when the mortar bombardment was rapid.

In addition, before, the local natives who had recently taken refuge in Li Xiangqian, after losing discipline, robbed in the city, so they were killed by foreign guns that climbed the inner city wall and condescendingly attacked.

When Domingo arrived at the city wall, he was taken down by a few Zheng family soldiers, of course, they had followed Zheng Zhilong to some extent, naturally they had seen foreign devils, and knew that this was to negotiate, so they directly escorted a few people to see Li Xiangqian.

Domingo was taken to a camp with his hands cut behind his back, where everyone was full of food and drink, talking and laughing, when he suddenly saw this serious missionary, and he was pushed over in great embarrassment, and they all thought of laughing.

The strength of the number of people is great, and the presbyterians have brought a lot of funds here, and they are ready to promote the republican Tongbao in the south, and the best means is of course to use it here first, so the method of cash-for-work is still perfect, and the local people are organized to make many pergolas, which are actually just temporary shade.

At this time, Li Xiangqian was sitting under the pergola, his feet soaked in the well water, but he already understood in his heart that the reason why this ancient emperor and general behaved strangely was because he was spoiled!

The good life of the nobles of this era is completely based on the situation that the people at the bottom are exploited and oppressed, even if they do not have the help of various advanced technologies, but naturally there are people who please the score.

Of course, he will not be knocked down by such a sugar-coated cannonball, but he is constantly anxious, in the future, this sycophancy, this flattery, will surround every elder and their descendants, who can guarantee that others will not make mistakes? Don't start to spoil because of this flattery?

The human heart is so terrible, more terrible than any beast.

"Who is this?"

"Elder Hui, this should be a missionary in the city, who usually travels east and west, asking everyone to believe in God, just kidding, we all worship Mazu." However, thinking that the master Zheng Zhilong was the same, he was also uneasy in his heart, what did this elder think of this foreign missionary?

Li Xiangqian had a general understanding, at least the European missionaries in China had gone through a lot of stages, and in the early stage, they were really like John Tang who really wanted to spread the so-called glory of God, but when Napoleon III began to be the first little brother of the Holy See, he began to deteriorate.

At this time, the missionaries really followed their colonizer team to the unknown world to spread the glory of their Lord, and countless people died in a foreign land, so it can be said that they are true believers, and those in later generations who watched European civilization colonize the world and flaunt their might, so they took the opportunity to go to the world to reap benefits.

Li Qianqian waited for a while, but heard Domingo speak a non-standard Chinese dialect, and it was very close to the so-called official dialect in the north, "This gentleman, you are now violating the territory of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, now leave here, our merciful king may still forgive you, and will not hunt you down, may the Lord forgive you for your sins." ”

Li Xiangqian sneered and said, "It's good, it's really good, by the way, where did you learn Chinese?" ”

Domingo paused and said, "Macau, please don't divert from the topic, your army is using these weapons rudely to invade the land of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. ”

Li Qianqian said: "Invasion of this thing, let's talk less, you yourself are fighting so vigorously in Europe, don't pretend to be a big-tailed eagle in front of the peace-loving Chinese, but there is one thing I don't quite understand, you are a Catholic missionary, how dare you run to the place of the Dutch." ”

Domingo said: "I am Dutch, and I am a Jesuit friar. ”

Li Xiangqian sighed and said, "Aha, there is a fight at home, but when you go outside, you still have to work together to clean up the foreigners." ”

Protestants and Catholics can fight a thirty-year war in Europe for missionary rights, but when it comes to the outside, in fact, there are very few wars on both sides, and there is friction, but after all, they can't write two white words with a single pen, and they are as good as something in private.

Li Xiangqian said: "As for the land, don't talk nonsense, the rotten place in the Netherlands, if you are not careful, you will be flooded by the sea, the sea water should not pretend to be a superpower, I see that it is not easy for you, give you a chance to go home and drink the water of your hometown, are you still not satisfied." ”

Domingo said, "Then there is nothing to say, God's people, who will fight to the last moment for their dignity!" ”

Li waved his hand forward and said, "Then it's not enough, what are you still running out to do, everyone is scattered, just wait for the start." ”

Domingo said in a deep voice: "This general, you have already invaded the city, but you have not rashly attacked the inner city, it is obvious that you are still afraid of a large number of casualties, it is better to retreat like this, we can not pursue the losses you have caused, we will not ask you for all kinds of compensation, as long as you are willing to sign a treaty, never offend the authority of the Kingdom of the Netherlands again, we don't mind, we will give you some rewards......"

"Hahaha, after fighting for so long, you still don't know who we are?"

Zheng Cai was on the side, and said proudly: "Tell you, this is an adult from the imperial capital of our Celestial Dynasty, and he is not comparable to your small countries." ”

Zheng Cai has seen the world map, of course, it is not a complete version, but it can be clearly seen that these foreign devils are from such a distant ghost place, so they have begun to have a little sense of superiority, under Zheng Zhilong's system, he is a relatively independent mountain, so Li Xiangqian just pulled a little, and began to become more and more active.

Domingo said, "Why, then, if it were not for the fear of our majesty, why did the nobles not dare to attack us until now, and were they not afraid of the bravery of our soldiers, and the strength of our weapons?" ”

Li Xiangqian sighed and said: "A child like you, it's stupid to play with religion, you want to brainwash other people, brainwash yourself first, it's you, put down the cross, well, as for this, as the saying goes, empty words are unfounded, just as in the eyes of some people, we are poor worms who can't afford to eat tea eggs." ”

He sighed and said, "Ready...... All the artillery gunners listened to the order, aimed and locked the bearing, fired a short and rapid fire for a minute, and put! ”

"Put!"

They are all from the north, originally belonging to Li Zicheng's subordinates, or local farmers in Hebei, have been in the military for one year under Li Xiangqian, because they are young, it is easy to accept new things, and it is very easy to understand these things.

There were five people in each combat squad, and they got busy, "Put!" ”

"Put!"

The shells of the artillery shells drew different trajectories in the air, flying straight towards the inner city, at this time the Zhuyuan had already been demarcated, and they all smashed on the city at once, and at the same time brought up huge smoke and dust, flying stones and even screams, converged into a huge symphony, which made people have to sigh, in the face of such a steel war, how fragile human beings are.

Domingo clutched the cross tightly and kept repeating, "Devil, devil." ”

He trembled and fell to his knees, and suddenly said: "Ah, please don't attack again, we can agree to any conditions, please don't attack like this again." ”

Li Xiangqian really didn't care, this was a battle that had been set before, and the purpose was indeed to establish the order of the earth again in the next few hundred years, and it was better to establish rules than to bully a few poor ghosts.

Li Xiangqian said with a smile: "It's called now, it's late, come out and mix, the brothers on the road want to talk about credit, and if you say that you bomb for a minute, it will be a minute." ”

The operation manual of the artillery gunners stipulates that sending six rounds a minute is considered a qualified skill, but more than a dozen gunners are trembling, all of them are between three or four rounds, but it is enough, only to feel the continuous explosions on the city wall, and after a minute, Li Xiangqian signaled that he could stop, the inner city has become devastated, and the smell of destruction can be seen.

Domingo said, "Oh no, God, punish me, they ......"

Li Xiangqian smiled and said: "Didn't you Europeans find that since the Black Death, no matter how you worship God, no one believes it, okay, now, I think how to say about surrender?" ”

Domingo couldn't help nodding, maybe the people in the city looked at it countless times and were dizzy, but looking outside the city, it was an explosion that never stopped, which was simply terrible.

"As long as you let me go back to the city, I believe that this time, they will not need me to convince me any more before they can agree to surrender to you, I promise."

Li Xiangqian smiled and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, but I won't give much time, half an hour, in other words, if you don't know, I can send a harmless salute outside to remind you." ”

Domingo panicked: "No, no, I'll be back soon, please don't fight again." ”

Domingo trembled as he read his scriptures and crawled back.

"Domingo, what's going on, why did you go to negotiate with the barbarians, and instead they opened fire on us, didn't you report the news, this Jesuit came out, it's really not credible!"
