963 Don't shoot

"Haha, happy, really happy!" A fat man, despite the sweat on his head, shouted very excitedly, "I actually captured three Spaniards by myself, haha!" You really didn't see that these people who usually pretend to be big-tailed wolves, high up, actually surrendered on their knees when they saw me! ”

"Raff, they didn't surrender to you, they surrendered to them!" Luther Kingff also smiled and spoke, while pointing to the Portuguese and Ming sailors who were passing by with Spanish prisoners.

Following the gaze of his fingers, Raff immediately turned his attention and greeted the Portuguese and Ming sailors warmly and loudly: "Hello, I love you to death!" ”

The Daming sailors couldn't understand it, but they could feel their awakened mood, so they smiled faintly.

When the Portuguese sailors heard this, they grinned and shouted, "Why are you still stunned?" Her Royal Highness the princess is back, and she still doesn't go to greet her? ”

When they saw the warships and sailors of the Ming Dynasty, there were already many people who had guesses. It's just that he was busy catching the Spaniards and those Portuguese traitors before, and he didn't bother to think about it for a while. At this time, they all shouted excitedly, and hurriedly beckoned each other and ran in the direction of the port.

Not only Raff and Luther King, but also the other Portuguese who had been informed of the news, and even those who had been hiding in their houses in the first place, after hearing the news, ran one after another in the direction of the port. It's like a small stream that eventually converges into a river and rushes along the streets and alleys to the port.

However, when the crowd was about to reach the port, they were suddenly stopped by the sailors here. The soldiers of the Ming army did not move, it was all Portuguese sailors who were talking, and they had to check whether they had brought firearms before they were released.

Most people understand this. For example, Raff took the initiative to take out a flintlock pistol. Before, he said that he would die with the Spaniards, relying on this flintlock pistol that he hid.

When I arrived at the port, I saw the flag representing the Portuguese royal family, surrounded by a group of Ming army generals, and there was a young woman with blond hair and blue eyes next to an older Ming army general.

Seriously, at this time, most Lisbs people no longer recognize Princess Catherine, who was once a little girl. However, this did not prevent them from affirming at first glance that the young woman with blond hair and blue eyes was definitely Princess Catherine.

"Let me tell you, I have seen Her Royal Highness Catherine several times when I was a child, no, I recognized it at a glance, it was Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine who brought the Ming army to take revenge!"

"Then you don't need to say it, even if I haven't seen it before. But look at it, graceful and luxurious, with an extraordinary temperament, at first glance, it is Her Royal Highness the Princess! ”

“……”

As they were excitedly talking, Catherine stepped on the ground, on the ground of Lisbia. As soon as she came ashore, she fell down on her knees, leaned down, and kissed the earth deeply.

The soldiers of the Ming army looked at this, although they felt a little dirty, but when they remembered the experience of the crown princess, they could understand her feelings, so they were mostly sympathetic and did not have any special ideas.

And those Portuguese who came to greet them, after seeing this scene, all felt that Catherine loved this land deeply, and suddenly, their thoughts of welcoming Princess Catherine reached an extreme.

In the crowd, Raff suddenly rushed out. Broke through the cordon and ran towards Catherine.

Ludkinf on the side didn't hold it, and was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted: "Raff, come back quickly, don't be misunderstood!" ”

If someone is suspected of being an assassin and is killed in public, it is too wrong.

But Raff didn't hear it at all, and continued to run away.

The two Portuguese sailors who were blockaded by the conflict were immediately anxious when they saw it, and hurriedly chased after them.

The guards and other generals behind Zheng Zhilong certainly noticed that someone was rushing towards this side. reacted immediately, and immediately stopped in front of Zheng Zhilong and Catherine, some of them held the handle of the knife and could pull it out at any time; Others drew their flintlock pistols and immediately aimed them at Raff.

"Your Highness, Your Highness Princess, it's me, it's me, don't shoot......" Raff shouted as he waved his hand and ran, "I'm Raff, I'm Raff......"

I didn't understand, but it didn't prevent Zheng Zhilong from feeling that this should be Catherine's acquaintance, so he turned his head to look at her.

Sure enough, Catherine, who had already stood up, was stunned for a moment, and then her face showed surprise. It seemed that after thinking seriously for a while, he stared at the fat man who ran over for a while.

At this time, Raff had been stopped by two captains of the brocade guards who were on guard to meet him. They are responsible for protecting the crown princess, and whether they understand it or not, there can be no accidents.

Seeing this, Raff didn't dare to move forward, so he quickly stood up, quickly brushed his hair back, and then continued to shout: "Your Highness, I'm Raff, who is responsible for selling Daming porcelain, and I hugged you when I was a child!" ”

"Uncle Raff? Is it really you? Catherine finally remembered after his reminder, and couldn't help but say with the same surprise.

After finishing speaking, she saw that the captain of the Jinyi Guard was still holding Raf, so she hurriedly changed to explain in the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time walked over quickly and asked, "Uncle Raf, are you okay?" ”

"Good, good! I didn't expect to see Her Royal Highness again, it's great! Raff listened, and replied almost in a weeping tone.

Luther Kimfer, over there, could just hear their conversation. was also happy, and said to the people around him: "That dead fat man, my friend, used to have a good relationship with the palace, just look at his fat." ”

After saying this, without waiting for the reaction of the people around him, he held the shape of a horn in his hand and shouted loudly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Raff said today that he would die with the Spaniards, and he said that he would not live!" ”

Hearing this, Raff didn't turn his head to know who was shouting, and he didn't pay attention, just looked at Catherine and grinned.

When Catherine heard this, she thought of something, and asked Raff, "Uncle Raff, do you know how my father and my two brothers died?" ”

Hearing this, Raff remembered the past, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said angrily: "Originally, there was no problem at all in Lisbon's persistence, it was the British royalists who betrayed Lisbon, opened the city gates, and ambushed His Royal Highness the King in the port. The head of His Royal Highness was also presented by them to the King of Spain...... Woowoo woo ......"

Speaking of this, he couldn't go on, and he also thought of what happened to him next, which was really unbearable, and he couldn't help crying.

Catherine heard without saying a word, and when she heard that her father's head had been presented to the King of Spain, she did not faint with a scream, but gritted her teeth, evidently with hatred.

"Where are those murderers now?" Catherine interrupted Raff's crying with a cry of hatred.

In this process, Zheng Zhilong didn't say a word, just watched the princess recognize her fellow countrymen in the back. But there was an interpreter by his side, whispering to him.

After hearing this, he finally understood that the reason why the king did not escape was because of the inner ghost. There have been a lot of such things, and it is difficult to guard against.

While he was thinking this, Raff had already replied to Catherine: "They got half of Lisbon's belongings, and then they went to France, where they wanted to recruit mercenaries and go back to England." But since the beginning of the previous year, the whole of Europe began to discuss the need to jointly deal with the Ming Empire, so the relationship between Britain and European countries has been eased, they can't recruit people, and they are not treated by other European countries, and now I don't know where to go! ”

When Catherine heard this, she gritted her teeth with hatred, and said sharply: "You must find them, and you will be crushed!" ”

Raff listened, and of course agreed.

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he interjected and said: "Your Highness, you have returned to Lisbon, things are not in a hurry, take good rest first, take care of your body, and there will be opportunities in the future!" ”

Although Catherine is very angry, she is still a person with brains, especially after going to Daming for so many years, and her independent life has tempered her. At this time, when he heard Zheng Zhilong speak, he quickly suppressed the resentment in his heart, immediately agreed, and then said: "The marshal has also worked hard for the affairs of Portugal. Let's go into the palace! ”

Although Zheng Zhilong is still only the chief soldier, Catherine knows that with Zheng Zhilong's merits, he will definitely be knighted. Now it is an expedition to Europe, and when he returns to Daming, he will definitely go further.

and Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Chenggong, who was even more valued by Emperor Chongzhen. Not to mention, now she has to rely on Zheng Zhilong all the time. Therefore, she was very polite to Zheng Zhilong.

Subsequently, whether it was Catherine or Zheng Zhilong, they were all busy.

Catherine is mainly concerned with the livelihood of Lisbon, while Zheng Zhilong is responsible for the defense of Lisbon and the operation of the entire fleet.

From the very beginning, it was already said. Lisbon first, rest of the world will have to wait. Although the fleet is huge this time, there are only more than 1,000 real warships, and the rest are transport ships, including gunpowder, grain and grass, etc., all of which must be taken into account when there is no supply here.

An important task now is to guard against a possible counterattack by the Spaniards. Of course, after this side is stabilized, the fleet will attack and sweep the European coast, and the thing will also be done.

In this way, the news that Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine led the huge Ming fleet back quickly spread from Lisbon. Other towns that originally belonged to Portugal were like boulders smashed into a dead pool. The Portuguese everywhere were encouraged to either flee to Lisbon or start attacking the Spaniards there.

And the Spaniards were terrified when they heard the exaggerated news that had been passed on several times. The emergency report for help flew like snowflakes to Madrid, the capital of Spain.
