Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 250 Surrender, it should look like surrender

"Report to the Governor, the enemy is attacking the southern Fort St. Francis!"

"Report to the governor, the enemy army has killed the east bank, and we have fallen into the trap!"

"Report to the governor, the east coast fortifications have fallen!"

……

When the battle started, Du Chen was sitting in the Governor's Mansion. Although he guessed that this war would not be easy, he firmly believed that he could hold on.

The Dutch can fight back, but can't beat the Ming army?What a joke, the artillery technology of the Ming army was taught by the Portuguese. The apprentice beats the master, just like a cat beats a tiger.

Therefore, even though Du Chen was worried, he still had to pretend to be calm and composed. He stood by the window and looked at the battlefield, holding a wine glass in his hand, taking a sip from time to time.

Li Leisi sat on a soft leather chair, closed his eyes and prayed, muttering: "God, please stop the sound of the cannons..."

"God can't control human wars, Leslie, you'd better open your eyes and see the majesty of our Portuguese." Du Chen sneered, making fun of Leslie.

But as the battle situation developed, and as the battle reports were delivered one after another, Du Chen lost his mood to joke, and in the end, the wine in the glass became bitter and sour.

Until a soldier came to report that the Dongwangyangshan Fort was lost, the central fort was shelled, and the wine glass in Du Chen's hand fell to the ground. He almost lost his balance and fell out of the window. took off his belt.

"The fort is under attack... It's over, we're done!" Du Chen gasped. He knew the importance of the fort better than anyone else.

It was thought that after the Ming army took down the big fort, they would be able to rush into the city soon.But after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, they did not hear the movement of the Ming army entering the city. Instead, the cannon rang and the entire Governor's Mansion was shaken.

"What's going on?" Du Chen was surprised.

A soldier ran in and replied: "Mr. Governor, the central fort can no longer be defended, and the soldiers are retreating back. But for some reason, the Ming army did not take the opportunity to cover up the attack, but continued to fire artillery and bombarded the city walls and gates."

Du Chen's eyes widened and he was speechless. He couldn't figure out the Ming army's intentions.

Li Leisi said: "I know what the Ming army is going to do. They are demonstrating and intimidating the people in the city! The Huaxia people fight wars, and they are best at attacking the heart. They want to make the governor feel scared from the bottom of his heart and surrender sincerely. "

As expected, the Ming army's bombardment lasted for two hours, and the city that the Portuguese worked so hard to collapse collapsed.

The tall city walls became broken walls, the city gates were damaged like honeycombs, the stone slabs on the streets were broken like powder, and countless houses collapsed.

The Governor's Mansion area has never been bombed, even so, many windows were still shattered, and many of the marble statues and paintings that Du Chen was proud of placed in the corridor also fell to the ground.

The people in the city had nowhere to hide. Later, they found that the area near the Governor's Palace was still safe, so they came in groups to seek refuge.

Du Chen was a smart man and knew that what Li Leisi said was true. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not intend to kill, but were only intimidating and frightening.

"Your Excellency, surrender, if you continue to resist, the Ming army will eventually bombard the Governor's Mansion." Li Leisi persuaded.

Du Chen was still hesitating. He was secretly wondering if he could lead his people to escape from the northwest when the southeast sides were attacked.

At this moment, another soldier rushed in and shouted: "My lord, there are many fishing boats coming from the northwest and northwest. About [-] soldiers have landed. I heard that Emperor Chongzhen is also coming!"

"Ah!" Du Chen yelled, clasped his head with both hands, pulled his hair, and said after a while, "Raise the white flag, surrender!"

……

Li Cunming did come to Haojingao Island, landed from the west bank, abandoned the boat and walked, watching while walking, and went straight to Mazu Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please walk slowly and wait for us!" Chen Yuanyuan slid her skirt and chased after Li Cunming.

Gong Yonggu also shouted: "Your Majesty, the battle has just ended, so you don't need to be so anxious. Li Daosan, quickly lead someone to protect His Majesty, and follow His Majesty without stopping!"

Even close people like Chen Yuanyuan and Gong Yonggu couldn't understand Li Cunming's excitement at this time.They don't know, this is a historic moment!
Without Li Cunming's crossing, Haojingao would not be able to return to the embrace of the motherland until more than 300 years later. 300 years, the sons and daughters of China have waited too long.

"Did you know that mucau is not my real name?

I have been away from you for too long, mother!
But it was my flesh they took captive,

You still hold the soul inside me.

The birth mother who has been dreaming of for 300 years!

Please call your child's baby name, and call me Macau!
Mother!I want to come back, mother! "

Li Cunming hummed "Song of the Seven Sons" all the way, and came to Mazu Pavilion passionately.Standing outside the temple, tears fell like rain in an instant.

Shi Lang originally brought people to the Mazu Pavilion to face the saint, but when he suddenly saw His Majesty bursting into tears, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Is it because I failed to meet His Majesty's request by attacking Haojingao? "

Li Cunming took out his handkerchief and wiped away his tears, turned his head and said with a smile: "No, General Shi, I am happy, I am happy!"

To calm down the turbulent heart, Li Cunming helped Shi Lang up, and asked, "Where is Lord Yasuo?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Du Chen raised the white flag and surrendered. Lord Yasukuni led his troops into the city and went to the Governor's Mansion to meet Du Chen. After the city is completely calm, it will not be too late for Your Majesty to enter the city again." Shi Lang replied.

Li Cunming nodded, walked into the Mazu Pavilion silently, offered incense and knelt down.

Half an hour later, Huang Degong sent someone to report the situation in the city, saying that the overall situation has been settled, all Portuguese and black slaves are under arrest, the streets in the city are also under martial law, and the governor's mansion is under control, please move the emperor.

"Let's go!" Li Cunming left Mazu Pavilion and walked towards the city step by step.

Arriving at the dilapidated South City Gate, Li Cunming stopped and said to Gong Yonggu, "Go and tell Du Chen to come to the South City Gate to greet me."

Gong Yonggu sent several Jinyi guards to read His Majesty's will, and after a while, Huang Degong led thousands of soldiers and escorted Du Chen, Li Leisi and a group of officers.

These Portuguese held white flags in their hands, bowed their heads, and were very depressed.

Du Chen came to the gate of the city, held a white flag in one hand, put the other on his chest, and bowed: "Du Chen, Governor of Haojingao, Kingdom of Portugal, pays homage to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty, we surrender!"

Li Cunming's face was full of clouds, and he roared furiously: "Surrender, it should look like surrender!"

Du Chen heard that the emperor was angry, but he didn't know why and looked confused.Li Leisi hurriedly translated, and Du Chen frowned and asked, "I wonder how your Majesty wants us to surrender?"

"Kneel down!" Li Cunming said.

"No, the Kingdom of Portugal and the Ming Dynasty are two equal countries. The governor of Haojingao, who I sent as the king, represents the king of our country in every word and deed. How can he kneel to His Majesty?"

"Okay, don't you kneel, right? Then I won't accept your surrender! Soldiers, draw out your swords and continue fighting!" Li Cunming shouted loudly, drawing out the chilly seven-star sword.
