Without the fleet and garrisoned infantry, the entire Port Royal is like a durian with its shell peeled off, and it can only be left to Zhang Tuohai's will.
Zhang Tuohai once again mobilized the Unsullied from the ship to act as facades, and walked swaggering towards the Governor's Palace.
The journey is smooth and without any obstacles.
When he arrived at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, Zhang Tuohai was stunned.
He originally thought that what he saw would be a closed door, a number of shields, and the guards of the Governor's Palace with live ammunition.
But none of this happened. Instead, there was a girl holding flowers, a steward holding a silver plate, and the governor standing respectfully.
After seeing Zhang Tuohai and the neatly dressed Unsullied, the middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes standing in the middle immediately came over and said.
"Welcome, great conqueror, you have conquered this city. I am the local governor Yin Fan. Please allow me to pay my respects." Governor Yin Fan said and waved his hand, and the butler carrying the silver plate left immediately.
He came up and respectfully handed the silver plate in his hand to Zhang Tuohai.
The plate contains a dish of salt and a few slices of bread.
This is a symbol of surrender, a symbol of handing over the materials that the city depends on for survival, and everything in the future will be subject to the arrangements of the conqueror.
"You can eat it." Zhang Tuohai was not interested in these, so he said to Moriel next to him.
"Is this really okay?" Moriel's eyes sparkled.
She dreams of conquering a city belonging to the empire as revenge for the empire's destruction of Dragon Cliff.
However, the more battles she went through, the clearer she became that it was too difficult to conquer the empire with just one dragon of her own.
How long the light lasts is a big problem.
If the empire wants to deal with her, it can send a large number of manpower. If the consumption is not considered, Alduin can be killed by the consumption alone.
Moreover, except for a giant dragon, she herself has no power.
The empire can even send out a few assassins to bypass the dragon and attack her directly.
Once she dies, Alduin will naturally have no evidence.
Especially after Zhang Tuohai summoned Hydra just now, Hydra's powerful combat ability even surpassed Alduin, causing her to lose her last bit of pride.
Without her and Alduin, Zhang Tuohai can still control the seven seas.
She even felt that Zhang Tuohai no longer needed her. She could only stay by Zhang Tuohai's side like a lover, in order to ensure Long Ya's safety.
However, just now Zhang Tuohai actually asked her to taste the bread and salt, which symbolized conquest. What does this mean?
Do you want Longya to expand to this place?
This is a great achievement that the ancestors of previous generations did not complete!
Thinking of this, Moriel's body couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
"Nothing else, I'm just too lazy to do anything. You can do it for me. From now on, you can just handle these superficial matters. The jurisdiction here belongs to you, even if it is a subordinate city-state of Longya." Zhang Tuohai said dullly.
Said.
He is no longer interested in establishing political power and dividing the territories between different territories.
No matter who has been the master of hundreds of worlds, he will not be interested in managing a few city-states.
In Zhang Tuohai's eyes, this is no different from playing house.
He was too lazy to do this, so he let Moriel step in to help take care of the trivial matters, while he sat behind the scenes and controlled the overall situation. It was not a bad idea.
Zhang Tuohai has no interest in these secular rights, but Moriel does.
When Zhang Tuohai said this, her eyes sparkled.
What is her dream?
Isn't it just to rebuild Longya and let Longya regain its former glory?
Capturing Port Royal, isn't this the first step?
Moliel excitedly dipped the bread in salt and ate it.
This represents acceptance of Port Royal's surrender.
The governor of Port Royal was relieved when he saw this.
If Moriel doesn't eat, Port Royal may be ushered in a bloody storm. Unknown to the people in the port area, the high-ranking officials and nobles of the empire may have their heads cut off.
Now, no matter what, my life is saved.
Zhang Tuohai didn't want to kill all the imperial officials.
It's cool, but it's not conducive to future battles.
Those imperial officials who knew that surrender would mean death would inevitably lead the entire city to resist, which would be a great disadvantage to him.
Simply take him in temporarily to reduce the will of other imperial officials to resist.
As for whether these people are loyal and have any thoughts of rebellion, whether it is conducive to the stability of the future regime, what does that have to do with him?
He just used the power of this regime to fight against the empire, find Mephisto, and then kill him, that's all.
As long as he kills Mephisto, he can leave this world, and everything here will become a thing of the past.
It’s not worth caring about at all.
Everyone had their own thoughts, and under the guidance of Governor Yin Fan, the group entered the Governor's Mansion.
The Unsullied took over the defense of the Governor's Mansion. Governor Yin Fan had already arranged a dinner in the hall, and the huge long table was filled with all kinds of delicacies.
Countless noble ladies and maids stood on both sides. When they saw Zhang Tuohai and his entourage coming in, they all knelt down and saluted to show respect.
Zhang Tuohai naturally sat on the main seat, and Moriel sat next to him. The governor and his party accompanied him with smiles, and they were chatting and laughing during the dinner.
After finishing the food and wine, the governor presented the ledger.
"These are the supplies currently available in Port Royal, please take a look."
Zhang Tuohai flipped through the ledger, and found that there were more than 5 million dinars in cash alone, and taxes collected from other places totaled more than 80 million.
In addition, there are a large amount of food, wood, weapons, artillery, shells and other materials.
"So much ordnance?" Zhang Tuohai raised his eyebrows. The supplies on the account were already a hundred times more than needed to maintain a port.
Even if the garrison is added, it will not consume so much.
After all, artillery is not a consumable item. It is not impossible for smoothbore artillery of this era to be used for decades.
"This is the temporary reserve of the empire here. It is said to strengthen the city defense in various places," Governor Yin Fan said immediately, "But, I always feel something strange."
"What's weird."
"The caliber of these artillery pieces are obviously naval guns. To strengthen city defense, we should use larger caliber coastal defense artillery."
"Moreover, these artillery pieces are all obviously used old cannons. Many of the artillery pieces still have traces of sea salt erosion. They feel like they were discarded from battleships."
Governor Yin Fan said.
"Those who have been eliminated from the battleship, please take me to see them." Zhang Tuohai said.
"Please follow me."
Governor Yin Fan led Zhang Tuohai to a warehouse and found someone to open the warehouse door.
The above artillery pieces were piled neatly in the warehouse. All the artillery pieces were naval guns used on ships. Zhang Tuohai even saw a large number of pursuit guns, which were obviously dismantled from ships in batches.

"Why so many? Has the empire decommissioned warships in batches?" Zhang Tuohai frowned as he looked at the cannons.
