Zheng Zhibao didn't care how shocked the people around him were. As a military commander, the most important thing was to end the war.
But now, the Spanish Governor's Palace in Luzon has not been captured, and the Spaniards are huddled inside and resisting.
He quickly went over to take a look at the situation and found that the walls of the Governor's Mansion were relatively high, as well as the balcony. Some places were damaged due to the ground dragon turning over, but the overall impact was not significant.
The Spaniards inside were hiding and firing cold shots. There were also several artillery pieces on a platform-like place.
If we had to charge hard, the losses would probably not be small. The entire city had almost been captured, so there was really no need to kill any more soldiers.
So, he asked the Portuguese to shout for the people inside to surrender unconditionally.
This time, the Portuguese's voice was particularly loud, and he shouted to the Spaniards in the Governor's Palace: "God is helping the people of heaven. If you don't surrender, what's the point of continuing to resist?"
Upon hearing the shouting, the Spaniards inside looked at their governor with panic expressions.
Before, they were resisting instinctively. For a while, they didn't think much about it at all.
But at this time, they were reminded by the Portuguese, and all of them suddenly came to their senses. Earthquakes are not something that mortals can create. If they say they bring disasters, they really have to bring disasters. God can't just stand there.
On the side of the Ming Dynasty army!
Thinking of this, these Spaniards still have a little fighting spirit.
Even Governor Cha Kun was about the same. However, this man had said before that he was a soldier and treated people harshly. Even though he was very shocked, it did not break his fighting spirit.
However, when Cha Kun saw the expressions of his men and thought about the young man who was still hiding in the house, he finally shouted in person: "We can surrender, but we must agree to ten conditions!"
After hearing this, the Portuguese turned to look at Zheng Zhibao who was watching from behind and said: "They are willing to surrender, but they want us to agree to ten conditions!"
Unknowingly, he used us once and put himself on the Ming side, instead of being a bystander who was unwilling to be recruited.
It can be seen that the scene of the earthquake really shocked them and unconsciously shook the minds of the spectators.
When Zheng Zhibao heard this, he turned his head and glanced behind him, and found that the supervisor Lu Jiude had not followed him. However, Zeng Ying did not go to rest, but followed him, and happened to hear the Portuguese report.
After just taking a few glances at the Governor's Mansion, he said to Zheng Zhibao: "It's easy to take down this Governor's Mansion. It's a shame they dare to raise conditions!"
In the war on land, Zheng Zhibao obviously did not have enough experience, but Zeng Ying had fought many battles and had the right to speak.
When Zheng Zhibao heard this, he quickly asked for advice: "How to fight?"
After asking the question, he felt that it seemed a bit demeaning, so he added: "There can be no unnecessary casualties!"
After hearing this, Zeng Ying said casually: "The easiest way is to bring those Spanish prisoners and use them as human shields. Secondly, bring the cannon over first, and after firing those cannons, you can bomb the Governor's Palace at will."
.The most time-consuming thing is that I don’t believe how much water and food can be stored in this Governor’s Mansion. It’s just a siege!”
After Zheng Zhibao heard this, he couldn't help but admire him. After just a few glances, he came up with three ways to deal with the enemies in the Governor's Mansion. He was indeed capable. But on the surface, he just nodded and said: "You and I think so.
almost!"
After finishing speaking, he turned back without blushing and without skipping a beat, and ordered the Portuguese who were listening: "Tell the people inside, don't mention ten conditions, just one condition. That's impossible. If you want to survive,
The only chance is to surrender unconditionally!"
After hearing this, the Portuguese nodded quickly, and then shouted: "The soldiers of tomorrow said that you have only one way to surrender unconditionally, just like the Dutch in the East!"
Hearing this, Chakun couldn't help but think: The Dutch also surrendered unconditionally?
But he is a Spanish soldier, and the Dutch are just like the Portuguese. They are Spanish rebels, and he disdains being like the Dutch.
Thinking this way, he ignored the expressions of his men and immediately shouted loudly: "It is impossible for our noble Spaniards to accept unconditional surrender! If you have the ability, just attack in!"
After hearing this, the Portuguese felt a little helpless. He turned to look at Zheng Zhibao and explained the situation.
After Zheng Zhibao heard this, he was about to order Zeng Ying's method to be used. However, when he was about to speak, he suddenly felt that if he really wanted to do this, others would think that he actually had no choice, or that it was Zeng Ying's method.
?
Thinking like this, he suddenly had another idea, and he ordered his men: "Go, take all the Spanish prisoners over, skin them clean, and drive them into the Governor's Mansion!"
"???" When people around him heard this, they were confused and had question marks on their foreheads.
When Zheng Zhibao saw it, he said with a little pride: "This Governor's Mansion is not big, and there is definitely not much food and water in it. As long as there are more people inside, the consumption of two rooms and water will be greater. Drive the Spanish prisoners in,
Don’t they want to? Turn around and surround us. It won’t be long before they themselves start fighting among themselves to see if they surrender or not?”
After hearing this explanation, the people around them suddenly realized that this was a good idea. So they went to carry out the military order.
Zeng Ying, who was standing next to him, nodded. This method was considered a good one. If it were just to drive the Spanish prisoners to use as human shields, it would be a bit like what the bandits did. If it was just a siege, it would take a long time.
Listening to the replies of the people there just now, they seemed to be quite arrogant, so using this method might be able to lower their arrogance.
With this thought in mind, he didn't care.
In the Governor's Palace, Chaquin was mobilizing. Facing his men, he said impassionedly: "We in Spain are the most powerful country. How can we, as Spaniards, surrender to these natives of the Far East? If so, even if we are alive, we will not be able to survive."
What’s the point?”
"Noble gentlemen, these Far Eastern natives should be crawling at our feet. They have been before and they will definitely be in the future. This time, they relied on their large numbers. Even though we were defeated, we were honored. Even if we died in the battle, we would all
Can go to heaven..."
After hearing what he said, someone in the crowd whispered: "But this time, God is on their side!"
Because Chakun was the only one speaking and everyone else was listening, even though his voice was not loud, the big and small bosses present could hear him clearly.
Yes, this time, God has really sided with Akito. Will the door to heaven still be opened for them?
When Cha Kun heard this, he was immediately speechless. People say that God will bring disasters, but God will bring disasters. How to explain it?
Just when he was about to become angry, he suddenly heard movement outside. In the midst of his doubts, a subordinate on duty came over and reported: "Your Excellency, the Governor, you are back, you are back..."
He spoke with surprise, but the people present were confused.
Fortunately, after this man made an excited report, he immediately added: "...Those who were captured by Mingren before they could escape in time were all released by Mingren!"
"What?"
"What?"
"..."
For a moment, everyone present could not help but be surprised.
After all, they were in a foreign country. Among the Spaniards, there were only more than a thousand people. Who didn’t know each other?
At this time, the noise outside was so loud that they could hear it. They were all speaking in Spanish, and they were greeting each other with surprises.
Cha Kun was puzzled, wondering what Mingren was doing?
However, it was a good thing to let the person back, so he immediately took his subordinates, big and small, to greet him.
As a result, what they never expected was that Akito probably released all the Spanish prisoners. They couldn't fit in the yard and had to be diverted to other places.
Each of these prisoners who were released only wore shorts, but everyone was just surviving the disaster, hugging and rejoicing with the people they saw and knew. At least they felt that being prisoners there would eventually be a good thing.
It is safety among one's own people.
Originally, there were about 300 people in the Governor's Mansion. Suddenly, about 500 people crowded in, including wounded soldiers. The Governor's Mansion was not big at first, but everything suddenly became very crowded.
When someone distributed clothes to the prisoners, they discovered that there seemed to be more people who had no clothes to wear. Because there were not that many clothes in the Governor's Mansion.
At this moment, Cha Kun suddenly realized that he understood why the Ming people let these prisoners back: just to use up the supplies in the Governor's Mansion faster!
This time, he was a little dumbfounded.
what to do?
This is a conspiracy!
Those who came back were all Spaniards. Even if he was outside just now, it was impossible for him to order not to take back the prisoners. But once so many prisoners were taken back, what would happen to the supplies?
The clothes are okay, but if you don’t want to wear them, you won’t wear them, but what about the food and drink?
I have to give it to you, but I can’t even afford the supplies in the Governor’s Mansion!
Seeing his men still celebrating their reunion after the disaster, Cha Kun was in despair!
By noon, the hungry Spaniards finally discovered the problem.
Everyone needs to eat, but the supplies are not enough for everyone. Even if you save on food, how many meals can you make do with? Who would have thought that one day so many people would be trapped in the Governor's Mansion?
Reinforcements, it’s impossible to have reinforcements! If you persist, you won’t be able to persist for long?
what to do?
I don't know when, a gunshot rang out in the Governor's Office.
When people outside immediately heard the sound and rushed to see it, they found their governor, Cha Kun, lying on top of boxes of gold and silver treasures. Blood flowed from his head, soaking the wealth underneath. It seemed that it was a response.
There is a saying: Blood debt must be paid with blood!
After the news spread, the Spanish finally opened the door and surrendered unconditionally to the Ming army in the afternoon!
