The scout clasped his fists in agreement, then turned and left.
Zhu Hongyu squinted his eyes, looked in the direction of Saint Jones, and said.
"Let's do it!"
"promise!"
Zhu Hongyu's soldiers strode away.
Not long after, there was a loud bang, a roar countless times louder than the thunder when the storm came, resounding throughout the wilderness.
That section of the city wall rose high and then fell.
The next moment, masonry flew and the solid fortress of St. Jones collapsed instantly.
When the smoke and dust dissipated a little, the Liberation Army was like a torrent, heading towards St. Jones.
The cry of killing drowned out everything!
The envoy group was stopped by the Liberation Army's sentries several kilometers away from St. Jones.
Just as Zhao Yuanan and Lin Wenqi, who were taking the lead, persuaded the Liberation Army soldiers who were blocking them to let them go.
There was a loud bang from the direction of St. Jones City!
The next moment, a large plume of smoke filled the air.
The bricks and stones were thrown far away, and some even fell not far away from them.
Lin Wenqi, Zhao Yuanan, and even Wang Lixian, who was in Xiying with a clear mind, all looked dully in the direction of St. Jones City.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat, knowing that St. Jones was about to be captured!
However, what made Lin Wenqi, Zhao Yuanan and others even more amazed was that half an hour, only half an hour!
They were allowed to pass!
Under the surveillance of the Liberation Army, they headed towards St. Jones.
Wang Lixian finally saw clearly the current state of St. Jones!
A huge gap appeared in the strong bastion of St. Jones, and the area around the bastion was littered with fallen masonry.
The Spanish cross flag that originally fluttered high above the bastion has fallen, replaced by the Ming Dynasty's twelve-pointed sun and moon flag.
The twelve-pointed sun and moon flag hunts in the wind, causing all Han people who see this flag to have complicated expressions on their faces.
Although Lin Wenqi and Zhao Yuanan are now traitors and traitors, when they were young, how could they not have imagined the scene of the king's army going on an expedition to punish the people and punish the disobedient?
The chaos in the city of St. Jones has not yet been calmed down. After the mission entered the city, the scene they saw was that the Liberation Army was searching for the defeated Spanish troops.
Although the Liberation Army has captured the city, it will still take some time to clear out the enemy forces in the city.
Soldiers of the Liberation Army wearing breastplates and holding muskets walked through the streets, looking around with bright eyes.
The Spaniards in St. Jones, regardless of age or sex, all looked horrified when they saw the Liberation Army.
In the past, in Luzon, the Chinese were afraid of the Spaniards, but in St. Jones now, the opposite is true.
A group of Liberation Army soldiers ran past and rushed into a house.
After a burst of gunfire, several Spanish soldiers with bloodstains on their bodies were captured.
Then right on the street, these Spanish soldiers were beheaded with great ease!
His head rolled on the ground, revealing faces full of ferocity and despair.
Headless corpses were piled together haphazardly, and blood flowed all over the floor.
Lin Wenqi's lips trembled, he pointed to the scene where the Spanish troops were being dealt with, and asked in a somewhat unkind tone.
"Those Spanish soldiers have surrendered, why do you still kill them?"
The soldiers of the Liberation Army who escorted them just glanced at Lin Wenqi, and then said in a very calm tone.
"My general has given them a chance. They will not surrender before the city is broken, and no one will be left behind after the city is broken!"
Zhao Yuanan also spoke.
"But even so, how could you treat the surrendered Spanish soldiers like this? It's so barbaric!"
The Liberation Army soldier said with a cold snort.
"Come with the red-haired ghost who has massacred innocent Chinese people many times. We just killed some defeated soldiers. We are much more civilized!"
"At least we didn't imitate the Spaniards and massacre civilians, right?"
Zhao Yuanan and Lin Wenqi had nothing to say, because it was indeed the case.
Although the Spaniards claim to be civilized people, let alone civilized people, they don't do anything that has anything to do with people.
Not long after, the envoy was brought to Zhu Hongyu.
Zhu Hongyu glanced around and saw Wang Lixian, but his eyes did not linger on Wang Lixian, and he spoke directly.
"What do you mean when you come to envoy our Liberation Army?"
"Did the Governor-General of Manila send you here to apologize to our Liberation Army and make compensation for what happened in San Fernando?"
Zhu Hongyu was sitting behind a table, his demeanor was very relaxed, but his dignity was very heavy.
When he was in the mountains, Zhu Hongyu's majesty was fake, so he needed to maintain his appearance.
But now, since the Liberation Army came out, it has been winning continuously, annihilating a large number of Spanish troops, continuously attacking the city, and achieving great results.
Even if Zhu Hongyu is just sitting there doing nothing, he has a majestic presence about him that makes people dare not look directly at him.
After listening to Zhu Hongyu's words, Lin Wenqi retorted.
"Your Majesty General, you should apologize to the Governor's Palace for what happened in San Fernando!"
"It was only Spanish soldiers who massacred China!"
"But after you captured San Fernando, you brutally killed all the Spaniards in San Fernando!"
"You should repent for the crime you committed!"
Zhu Hongyu said with a cold snort.
"I don't care who massacred the Chinese, I will only blame all Spaniards!"
"If a Chinese massacre occurs in San Fernando, I will kill all the Spaniards in San Fernando!"
"If there is a massacre of Chinese people in Manila, I promise that I will kill all the Spanish people in Manila and I will do what I say!"
"Don't ever talk about benevolence and righteousness to me. Benevolence and righteousness are meant for people. Those beasts that kill civilians at every turn are not worthy!"
Zhu Hongyu's eyes glanced at the punch again, and then he spoke.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense!"
"Let's be honest, why are you here on a mission?"
Zhao Yuanan said.
"Your Excellency General, the Governor-General wants to have peace talks with Your Excellency General."
Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while, knowing that the Liberation Army was now unable to continue fighting. Instead of continuing to fight with the Spaniards, it would be better to negotiate with the Spaniards, and then divide the territory and focus on development.
Zhu Hongyu is confident that with his knowledge far beyond this era, as long as he is given a period of time, he can lead the Liberation Army to develop rapidly.
The strength of the Liberation Army will be doubled!
"We can negotiate. What are the conditions from the Governor's Mansion?"
Zhu Hongyu asked.
Lin Wenqi said.
"The Liberation Army withdrew from St. Jones and retreated backwards. The two sides used Lingayen as the dividing line to divide their forces. The north of Lingayen belonged to the Liberation Army and the south belonged to the Governor's Palace."
"Both parties will jointly develop Luzon Island and bring the dawn of peace and civilization to Luzon Island!"
When Zhu Hongyu heard this, he just sneered and said.
"impossible!"
"Every inch of territory under our feet was obtained with the blood and lives of our Liberation Army soldiers!"
"If I, the general, give the order to retreat, can I be worthy of the soldiers who spilled their blood on the territory?"
"I won't give up an inch of territory in the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhao Yuanan stood up and said.
"Just past St. Jones is the hinterland of the Central Plains. St. Jones is controlled by the Liberation Army. This is absolutely unacceptable to the Governor's Palace."
