Pereira recognized Meyathu, who had been captured by the beggars, and the slave trader was wearing a complete set of Milan armor that he had bought from Goa for more than 30 Kruzador gold coins, and was thrown behind the battle by the Ming army like a bundle of animals, and then heard the defender convey to him the meaning of the commander of the Ming army on the other side.

Ask him to retreat, take all the men with weapons into the barracks, and pause for a while, and the Ming army will attack.

"What an uncivilized savage!"

Pereira whined in such a low voice, cursing countless times in his heart to let the commander on the other side go to hell, but it could not change that he did not have the courage to start a war with the Ming army.

Right now, right here.

The battery is in the hands of the enemy, and a good commander should know when to advance and when to retreat.

Especially under the aim of artillery, no one wants to taste the high-quality craftsmanship of the Bugarao Cannon Foundry, and the shell may not hurt very much on the body, but it will definitely die.

Even if the turret can only fire one cannonball in a short period of time, it will be God's punishment for the large array of adventurers in a dense formation.

Several big men in plate armor in the phalanx gathered, weighed the pros and cons and came to a unanimous conclusion: first withdraw to the barracks, and let Mai Yatu's people test the true strength of the Ming army.

If the strength is weak, they should crush them at the cost of even two shells to recapture the turret, and if they are strong, they should sit down and talk and listen to the Ming commander's opinion of Hao Jingao.

This is only the opinion of some people, and some people think that since the Ming army has raised their guns and seized the forts, it is already a declaration of war, and they should annihilate this Ming army together with Mai Yatu's forces, and after recapturing the forts, they will gather warships to attack Canton.

The young aristocrat who said this had been isolated by Pereira.

"Young people who have not experienced the battles of Tuen Mun and Shuangyu!"

It has been a long time since Portugal and Spain began to conquer the world, which has caused the younger generation to be somewhat unaware of the sky, which deeply worries Pereira.

"Do you think that when we get a vast land, we really have the strength to conquer the world?"

In the barracks, various nobles, ship owners, and wealthy merchants from Portugal, Spain, and Italy gathered to discuss countermeasures.

For the Western world, Haojing is a free port, there is no governor and no garrison here, if according to the Ming Dynasty, there is nothing more than a merchant. All of them paid 20% of the goods to the Ming Dynasty to supply the military expenses of the soldiers in the two Guangdong provinces for many years.

Originally, it was a cheng, when Wu Guifang was the governor of Liangguang, they had lightly attacked the Guangzhou Mansion, and after the water and grain were cut off, the Ming Dynasty's draw became two percent.

In order to escape the draw, foreign businessmen often docked their big ships on desolate islands off Macao to escape exploitation.

Over time, however, with the Portuguese immigration policy, more than 3,000 adventurers and merchants came to Asia every year, some in Southeast Asia, some in Japan, and 2,300 of them in Macau.

Only half of them return to Portugal every year.

Some people have stopped drifting on the sea, opened up the relationship between the land smuggling merchants of the Ming Dynasty, bribed the officials of Guangdi, and became the suppliers of Yi merchants and Ming merchants in Haojing.

Ming Dynasty raw silk, silk, porcelain, musk, pearls, hats, Malacca spices, ivory, sandalwood, 100 catties of raw silk in Haojing only 30 kruza more, not to mention that their transactions with the Ming Dynasty smuggler Jia mostly used barter.

This has made them very profitable, and some have even built mansions in Ho Jing that cost as much as three or four kilograms of Ruzado.

A house can buy 100 sets of Milan A or 10,000 catties of high-quality raw silk.

To add a little more money, 5,500 kruzados, is the price of the Governor of Malacca for the concession route of Macau.

Pereira shook his head, "The Spanish victory in the Americas was due to the Inca civil strife due to smallpox, and the kingdom's victory in Manchurian was because they tricked their king out of the city to raise another puppet...... And the Ming Kingdom, we can't set foot on their land at all, do you want to incite those Japanese rebellions? ”

Spain and Portugal share the same origin, and even the language is the same, and the two kings divided the world after the Papal Meridian, during which time they fought together on the sea, far from their homeland.

"At sea their ships are not even as good as those vicious pirates, but on land?" Pereira coughed twice, took the pipe from his mouth, and said, "Praise God, we can't go to war with them." ”

In the distance, there was a running shout to end Pereira's long and worried speech, and he climbed the camp watchtower, and the first thing that caught his eye was the damned face of the gun on the turret and the muzzle of a black hole pointed at the camp.

At least now they knew that as long as they didn't act rashly, the cannon wouldn't be easy to shoot down, so at the end of the alley in the distance, hundreds of African slaves, Japanese ronins, Manchu warriors and some Portuguese adventurers marched through the streets with their weapons in their hands, and the figure of the people rushing towards the parliamentary square really attracted them.

At the head of the pack is a Japanese man in samurai armor, holding a slightly curved signature sword.

He is Renta Miura, the most aggressive down-and-out ronin on Shuangyu Island in the past, who was recruited by Maiatu as a boatswain in his early years, and is now another captain of Maiyatu's fleet.

Unlike Shuangyu Island in the past, the City Hall did not dare to exercise its power with swagger, only a few judges, clerks, and also no army, some were just captains and their sailors, and these people made up the Yiren army of Hao Jingao.

"What does that toothy and clawed widow say?"

Chen Mu was far away when he saw Miura Liantai holding a sword and shouting something to this side, asked Qi Zhengyan on his side, and then said to Deng Zilong and Sun Ao, two thousand households: "Let each hundred households stabilize, and wait for the enemy army to spread out and listen to my order, and directly release small flags and arrows to pick up guests." ”

Sun Ao bowed and turned to leave, raising the eight-foot eyebrow knife Deng Zilong raised his foot and asked, "Qianhu, when will you charge?" ”

"Put a round of bird, and rush after the fight!"

There are only hundreds of guns, they lack bows and crossbows, and the only firearm other than Xiaoqi Arrow is Deng Zilong's 100-shot fast gun, which has to be hit close to the face, and this level of attack determines Chen Mujun's attack sequence.

If they can add five Tiger squat guns, they will be able to achieve a greater firepower advantage in a large-scale security battle.

What Chen Mu lacks most now is firepower a hundred steps away.

"Hey, Master Chen, that three-inch Ding said that we arrested his master, and he was going to drive a boat to wash the city of Guangzhou."

Chen Mu couldn't help laughing when he heard Qi Zhengyan say this, this grandson hasn't figured out the situation yet, grandpa is here to kill you!

With shaking his head, the military master had changed into a cold face: "I had the heart to roar in the mountains and forests, but I was born with three inches of legs...... Little bastard still wants to drive my boat to fight Guangzhou? ”

One hundred and thirty steps.

One hundred and ten steps.

The conflict between the two sides was about to break out, but the direction of the shipyard southeast of Haojing was faster than them, and the faint shouting of killing from the shore across a few streets was mixed with a dull sound of guns, which made the sailors led by Miura Renta, who had accumulated momentum to the top, suddenly suffocated, and looked behind them in horror.

The time has come!

At this moment, Chen Muti suddenly raised the waist knife in his hand and waved it forward, shouting: "The whole army obeys the order, advance twenty steps, and raise the gun!" ”
