Can I refuse?

Facing the threat of Gaspal, no one could refuse, because no one could say that no Jew could sit still and watch because of their rejection, which led to the massacre of the Jews by Christians.

Just as Gaspar said.

Not only will the angry Christians ignore their explanation, they will even regard this as an opportunity to plunder Jewish property!

This is true for Christians and for Turks, all they need is just a reason and excuse.

And the Spanish would give them reasons and excuses. Then the Jews would become the fat lambs of all people.

Are there any other options besides promised those sinister Spaniards?

"Dad, we can really make friends with Christians when we help them, but what about those Tianfang people?"

Gale asked looking at his father with a worried face.

Facing his daughter's problem, Jacob couldn't speak for a long time. When they marked the locations that could be bombarded on the map, they became thorns in the eyes of the people of Tianfang.

"The people of Tianfang... Then we can only pray that the Chinese will defeat Turkey, otherwise there will be no place for us to stay in this world!"

"Can the Chinese defeat the Turks?"

No one knew the answer, but Jacob knew that he had no other choice.

"The only thing that makes people thankful is that the Spaniards will rule here."

"Spanish?"

Gail wondered.

"Yes, that's them, I heard the Spanish say they exchanged large swaths of land in the Philippines and the New World for Damascus! From the Chinese."

"If it were Spanish, it would not be a good thing for us. After all, the Spanish drove away the Jews more than a hundred years ago!"

More than a hundred years ago, after Spain drove away the Moors, Ferdinand and Isabella I expelled 100,000 to 200,000 Jews. Although this practice was continued in many places in Western Europe in the following fifty years, what made the Jews deeply remembered was the Spanish's expulsion.

"It's true, but compared to us, they are more hostile to the people of Tianfang. By then, the people of Tianfang will not care about us at all!"

Did the Jews have no choice?

In fact, after repeated weighing, Jacob had already made a choice. He believed that this time, he would not cause much damage to the Jews. First of all, the Turks must not care about them now. What they had to face was the attack of the Chinese, and secondly, the people of Tianfang were the Spanish to deal with them.

As for the Chinese... Perhaps, the Chinese in the future will replace the Turks. For the Jews, this is not the worst choice.

When Jacob Hasmony made the decision, Mufti Farouk in Jerusalem was staring at the Chinese outside the city with a sad face. As the owner of this city, the Farouk family had ruled the city hundreds of years ago during the Mamuliuk era. Even after the Ottoman occupied it, the Farouk family still retained its rule over the holy city. Of course, this was the result of his ancestors surrendering to Suleiman II.

But now, Mufti was extremely depressed and wanted to surrender!

But the problem is... the invaders outside the city were pagans, not only Chinese, but also Spanish. Those Spaniards... Thinking of their means to deal with the Moors, Mufti gave up the idea of ​​surrender.

In fact, that thought flashed by. After all, this is the holy city. If he handed over the city to the pagans, he would be the sinner of the entire heavenly world.

"May the prophet bless us to defeat the pagans outside the city!"

While Mufti was praying, the Tianfang people in the city, wearing long robes, saw a miracle, and a huge spherical object slowly rose into the air.

What is that?

Not to mention the ordinary people with white turbans, even those guys wearing "blue turbans" known as "saints" were also dumbfounded at the foreign objects in the sky.

"It's the magic of the pagans!"

"No, it's the devil invited from the Chinese hell..."

I don't know who shouted loudly.

"In Gaza, this devil once appeared in the sky there."

When the Tianfang people in the city cursed the devil in the sky there, behind the huge hot air balloon, the guns of several siege cannons pointed straight at the sky.

The guns of field artillery and rocket artillery are pointing to the city. The gunners are making final preparations for the shelling. An hour ago, a Jew drew a circle on the map. The area near the Kinmen can be shot at will.

Of course, the people in the city knew nothing about all this, and they didn't know that the two Ming soldiers in the hanging basket under the hot air balloon were staring at the city with all their attention.

Suddenly, balls of cannon smoke gushed out behind the hot air balloon.

Amid the deafening thunder, the Ming army's siege cannons opened fire!

The cannonball weighing 100 kilograms roared and smashed hard towards the walls of the western city of Jerusalem.

"Swoosh"

After the huge explosion, the tall date palm tree behind the city wall was blown into the sky, and the wood chips and mud and gravel flew around, hitting people from the air, smashing the nearby people to pieces.

At the same time, another storm was shaking, and a large area of ​​the solid stone city wall was blown away, with shells falling on both the city wall and behind them.

For the people guarding the city, what they felt was the shaking of the earth and the death that followed. With the heavy shells of the siege cannon, a new round of shells began at the same time, and more shells flew over, and the strong screams of the shells flew overwhelmed everything in the world, especially the whistling sound of the whirlwind rockets, which shook everyone's souls. In the boundless fear, they heard the whistling sound like a sudden rain, and suddenly stopped abruptly, followed by a deafening loud noise, and the shells hit like raindrops kept making bombardment, bomb, and explosions.

Amid the violent explosion, the walls of Jerusalem were trembling, and the solid stones were shattered in the explosion, and the howling gravel and steel fragments whizzed in the air. Among the thousands of fragments, the people on the city had no way to hide, and their bodies were torn to pieces in an instant.
