Chapter 648: Wild Hope from All Seas
"How does it feel? If there is only a team of muskets of equal numbers, how are you going to attack it? Duan Fei asked Jiao Yang Dao beside him.
Jiao Yang frowned and said: "Although firearms have the potential to replace bows and arrows and siege vehicles, but at least now they can't completely change the battlefield situation, and the military books have always said that the siege of the city must have at least five times more troops than the defenders to have any hope of victory, if there is only a comparable number of musket teams, I am afraid that it will be useless, and when encountering such a strong city, it is better to take a detour or find another opportunity." ”
Duan Fei said with a smile: "Well, you are right, but if our firearms are more powerful, there will be no more strong cities in the world to defend, just a few more cannons in the distance, now that the battlefield situation has changed, firearms will play a more and more powerful role, landing in a battle, Lord Wang should take the lead, Lord Wang, do you think what the official just said, right?" ”
The real mastermind of this battle is actually Wang Hong, he saw Duan Fei ask, he stroked his beard and smiled: "What your lord said is incisive, the sharpness of firearms is indeed far better than bows and arrows, especially those artillery, if it can be more accurate, the power is stronger, and no matter how solid the city wall is, it will be destroyed in one fell swoop, but since ancient times, contradictions have not been abandoned, even if there are cannons, someone needs to be properly manipulated, so that they can defeat the enemy and give full play to the greatest effect." ”
Duan Fei applauded: "Well said, Lord Wang's words are in one sentence, Jiao Yang, did you hear it?" Even if we become more sophisticated in our weapons in the future, we can't afford to be negligent on the battlefield. ”
Jiao Yang said in a deep voice: "Remember the words of the two adults, and I will be cautious in the future, and I will not dare to be negligent." ”
Wu Huai'an, who had been observing the battle situation with a telescope, suddenly said: "Okay, my lord, our people have completely occupied this castle, and the Franc machine flag on the castle has been put down and replaced with the flag of our Ming Dynasty." ”
Changing the flag means that the battle is over, Wang Hong said excitedly: "Finally take it back, finally ...... Came back......"
Duan Fei patted him on the shoulder comfortingly and ordered, "Let's go, let's go to the castle and have a look." ”
"My lord......" It was not Wu Huai'an, nor Wang Hong, or Jiao Yang who stopped Duan Fei, but Murong Xiang, who came in a hurry, and she said to Duan Fei: "My lord, Miss Celicia said that she would ask to see your lord immediately." ”
Duan Fei glanced at Wu Huai'an and said, "What can she say?" It's just that I don't want to hurt the Franco, you go and call her up, take her ashore with you, and go to the island to see." ”
As soon as Murong Xiang turned around, Wu Huai'an hurriedly explained: "My lord, I didn't do anything, I just followed the adult's instructions, threatening and comforting, that chick was so crying and fussing that I ignored her, and left after speaking." ”
Duan Fei nodded and said, "You don't dare to ...... She's reacting normally......"
When Lord Chin Cha was about to change ships and land, Celicia appeared in front of him with red circles under her eyes, and Duan Fei smiled and said, "Miss Celicia, have you figured it out?" If you haven't figured it out, I would like to invite you to the island, to show you where you have never been, and how your father and your countrymen deal with our people and the slaves they have taken captive. ”
Selicia bowed her head and replied, "I have figured it out, Lord Chincha, please be kind to my people, give them a boat, let them return to Manchuka, I am willing to stay and take all the responsibility, I am willing to do anything to atone for my father, and for my people." ”
Duan Fei smiled and said, "Miss Celicia, you underestimate this official too much, right?" How is it possible for this officer to impose on you responsibilities that do not belong to you, and release those criminals who should have taken responsibility for themselves? Miss Celicia, these words are reserved for the time being, and the officer is in a hurry to get to the castle to receive the spoils. ”
Celicia gritted her teeth and said, "My lord, I hope you can seriously consider it, my father will meet all your requirements, and it will definitely be more beneficial than you can detain all the other captured Franc robots." ”
Duan Fei said indifferently: "Miss Selicia, I'm afraid that you are mistaken, this official doesn't care about what benefits can be obtained from them, you are innocent in this incident, I will not drag you in to bear any responsibility that does not belong to you, there is a custom in the world to redeem prisoners, you don't have to worry about it, go, everyone go to the island to take a look." ”
The ship docked on the pier, and everyone landed under the leadership of Duan Fei to visit the island that had been forcibly occupied by the Francophone for ten years.
It can be seen that the Franc machine people have developed this island well, just the scale of the wharf, in the wharf that Duan Fei saw, it is second only to Ningbo, Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other places, although limited to the depth of the water can not berth such a super ship, but it can berth hundreds of ships of all kinds at the same time, and it is well organized and not crowded at all.
Because of the landing battle, the dock was a little damaged, and some places were stained with blood, but these were not enough to dispel Duan Fei's good mood, but just as he was about to leave the dock, a stone tablet next to the exit caught his attention, Duan Fei pointed to the stone tablet and asked, "What is this?" Fu Mink ...... Miss Celicia, may I ask what is written on this? ”
Fu Mink heard the call and stepped forward quickly, and Selicia lowered her head and told the origin of the stele: "My lord, this is ...... Albuquerque, the Governor General of Franc in India, sent his subordinate Jorge Alvares from Manchurian to Daming. He arrived on Tuen Mun Island in the same or the following year on a galleon laden with pepper, as an agent of the King of Portugal, with a fleet of Chinese merchants, where he erected a stone monument inscribed with the emblem of the Portuguese royal family...... Announce...... This island is owned by Franco......"
Many people around Duan Fei scolded angrily, Duan Fei snorted and sneered: "When I came to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, I wanted to declare the possession of the monument, it seems that our Ming people are still too kind, and the official of Ming'er also sent a team of people to Lisbon, and the monument was erected at the entrance of the palace." ”
Celicia lowered her head and said: "My lord, the people of the Franc machine are the same as the people of the Ming Dynasty, most of them are kind, please don't hate all the Franc people because of Simang's personal behavior, just like I will not think that all the people of the Ming Dynasty are devils because of the cruelty of the adults." ”
"Bold!" Even Wang Feng shouted, and the others almost drew their swords to face each other, Duan Fei waved his hand, everyone quieted down, Duan Fei smiled and said, "Miss Celicia, it seems that you have a deep misunderstanding of this official, do you know?" In lawless places, even sheep will become crazy beasts, I dare to say that Simang they will never dare to be so barbaric and ferocious in their own country, the big children are unrestrained, thousands of miles to come to the Ming Dynasty, you have conquered too many countries, you think you are invincible in the world, so you will provoke the Ming Dynasty without any scruples......"
Selicia was speechless, Duan Fei continued: "Miss Celicia, this official was still a little worried that the fleet of the Franc Machine was too strong last year, so he spent a year preparing the battleship to train soldiers, and now he has the strength to surpass you, this official has begun to consider asking the emperor to send me to take back this Ming vassal state for the king of Manchuga, if this official successfully recovers Manchuria, this official's vision will be longer, if this official wins all the way, erect a stone monument in front of the palace in Lisbon, and let your king kneel in front of me to lick |." My shoes aren't that hard! This is the process of inflating your faith, and I believe that your kings, governors, and even your fathers know it very well. ”
Celicia said with a pale face: "As far as I know, Daming is a great, rich, luxurious, and solemn country, the people of Daming are kind, and the adults are really the outliers of Daming, and the emperor of Daming will not allow adults to do anything wrong." ”
Duan Fei laughed out loud and said, "Kindness, in your hearts, is it equivalent to cowardice and deception? Otherwise, how could we occupy Tuen Mun Island for ten years and rape and plunder tens of thousands of people in our Ming Dynasty? Miss Selicia, this official has the power now, it is because he knows the Ming Sage very well today, and can always follow his temper to do things, so that he can reach such a point at the age of a weak crown, the last time he cooked the Japanese alive in the capital, if it wasn't for the official to stop him, tsk...... The emperor almost wanted to light the first fire himself, if you don't believe it, you can ask this Lord Wang, they have repeatedly written to the emperor and admonished him, but it has no effect at all. ”
Celicia looked at Wang Hong in unimaginability, Wang Feng bowed slightly, and then immediately changed the topic, he said: "My lord, this stone tablet is really an eyesore here, it is better to send someone to smash it." ”
Duan Fei shook his head and said: "You can't smash it, everyone says that the whole world is not the king's land, but the stone tablet is just the opposite, send someone to dig it up and send it to the capital for the emperor to see......"
"Don't!" Celicia screamed and said, "Lord Qincha, I beg you, smash this stone tablet, don't send it to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty." ”
Duan Fei looked at her lightly, waved his hand, and said, "Dig it out, bandage it well, and send it back to the capital to ask the emperor to take a look." ”
In Selicia's desperate eyes, Duan Fei walked forward firmly, Wu Huai'an deliberately didn't follow, he sighed softly beside Celicia: "Miss Celicia, no wonder my family is so confident...... It only took a year for your lord to set up the East China Sea Fleet, and the one who defeated your fleet at sea today is only one of the four sub-fleets of our East China Sea Fleet, and your lord is still asking the emperor to establish the South China Sea Fleet, the North Sea Fleet, and the Australian Fleet...... With the financial resources and manpower and material resources of the Ming Dynasty, it will only take about four years to build these fleets that are stronger than the East China Sea Fleet. ”
Celicia looked at Duan Fei's back, and her heart was desolate......
