Daming Crazy Emperor

When Taichang received Qi Panzong's secret letter, he couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.

The reaction of King Felipe IV of Spain is really a bit weird. He even sent someone to protest against such a big matter!
He had expected the guy to throw a fit and argue with them forever.

He even made up all kinds of reasons to prevaricate others.

He really didn't expect this result.

Qi Panzong's secret letter was written very clearly, so he protested, hoping that Daming could give a reasonable explanation.

This means, as long as it can be explained, it will be fine!
Felipe IV's reaction was as if someone had received a loud slap in the face, and then covered his face and asked, "Why did you hit me?"

Others seem to only need to reply, "You had mosquitoes on your face just now, I'm helping you to fight mosquitoes."
what on earth is this kind of happenings?
According to Felipe IV's previous temperament, it is impossible to let this matter go.

Can this man known as the "King of the Earth" suffer such a big loss and still swallow his anger?

He frowned and pondered for a while, but couldn't figure out why this guy had such a reaction.

Of course, this reaction is the best for them.

If people are noisy and endless, they don't know how much tongue they will waste.

Taichang thought about it for a while, but he didn't understand it, so he just gave up.

He directly put the secret letter on the table, and then said loudly: "Chuan Zhiji and Yun Zhen are here to see you."

Zhang Zhiji and Xu Yunzhen were panicking at idleness.

At any rate, Taichang still needs to pay attention to the military situation, arrange the supply of food, supplies, weapons and ammunition, and there is still something to do in a day.

They have nothing to do in a day, except for studying the languages ​​​​of the European countries, and they are left to play.

They have visited more than a dozen islands in the Cape Verde Islands, and they have also tasted the seafood in the nearby waters. They really can't think of anything interesting in this place.

Fortunately, at this time the emperor finally summoned them.

The two of them came to Taichang in a desperate manner, bowed their hands expectantly and said: "My minister sees the emperor."

Taichang nodded slightly, then picked up the secret channel: "Look at this first."

Zhang Zhiji took the secret letter respectfully, looked at it together with Xu Yunzhen, and couldn't help saying with a strange face: "Your Majesty, do you mean to just explain it casually?"

Taichang smiled slightly and said, "Yes, this Felipe IV seems to have changed his personality, and he has no temper at all."

Zhang Zhiji couldn't help but asked again: "Your Majesty, can we just perfunctory?"

Taichang nodded slightly and said: "Yes, you can just perfunctory. As long as the words are not too outrageous, people should not care about them."

This!
They have been preparing for this for a long time, and they have a whole bunch of interfaces and reasons in their minds, and the result is this?

The two were stunned for a moment, and then Xu Yunzhen carefully asked: "Your Majesty, when should we go there?"

Without hesitation, Taichang said, "Get ready. When Zuma and the others capture Ceuta, go and explain to others. Don't make them wait too long."

At this moment, the Black God Army has already reached the vicinity of Ceuta.

The defenders of Spain and the Holy Roman Empire have also behaved a little strangely these days. They seemed to give up resistance and ran away when they saw the Black God Army.

Zuma held up the binoculars and slowly scanned the defenders in Ceuta, with a strange look on her face.

What the hell is going on with these guys?

The defenders in the city didn't seem to know they were coming, and there was no panic on their faces.

impossible!

They didn't just pop up out of nowhere.

They fought this way for nearly two months and ran for thousands of miles. Did people know that they had surrounded them?
There are not as many defenders in the city as they imagined, let alone [-], not even [-], and there is no sign of strengthening the city defense.

Don't people plan to guard such an important city?
Zuma really couldn't believe it, but his performance was really a bit like breaking a can.

He glanced at the surrounding hills again, and looked at the 50 soldiers who were neatly lined up at the foot of the mountain and the 40 soldiers who were climbing up the mountain with city defense guns and gun mounts. The strange look on his face was gradually replaced by determination replaced by color.

No matter how he behaves, he will definitely take down this city of Ceuta.

If they really don't resist, then that's all. If they try their best to resist, then let's talk about ten rounds first!

It didn't take long for the [-] city defense guns to be pulled up to the surrounding hills, and the ready flags were raised one by one.

Seeing this, Zuma ordered without hesitation: "Order, all artillery, load ammunition, and prepare for test firing."

There are hundreds of hills within a radius of more than ten miles, and the distances and heights are different. No matter how powerful they are, they can't guarantee that all the shells will accurately land in the effective area.

So, they have to test fire a round, see where the shells fall, make adjustments, and then start bombing like crazy.

After a while, the order flags with ammunition loaded one after another were raised one after another.

Seeing this, Zuma ordered without hesitation: "Order, all artillery, ignite and fire."

A burst of waving the command flag, the mountains around the city of Ceuta suddenly sounded earth-shattering roar.

The [-] cannons fired at once, and the sound was terrifyingly loud. The entire city of Ceuta seemed to be shaken by the sound waves, and the nearby sea even stirred up ripples that spread outward.

The defenders in Ceuta were so frightened that they all rushed to lie down under the nearby bunkers, as if tens of thousands of frogs suddenly bounced off the ground.

This reaction is so fast!

Seeing this, Zuma couldn't help but admire in her heart.

Immediately afterwards, [-] shells fell like hail all over the sky, and the entire city of Ceuta was immediately submerged by the stirred up yellow sand like a sandstorm.

There is no way, this place is on the edge of the desert. Although it is surrounded by mountains, the low mountains are all bare, and they can't stop the sand and dust at all.

The [-] rounds of artillery shells fell, and the dust that was stirred up was several feet high. Even the high-precision telescope could not clearly see what was going on in the city.

Seeing the dust all over his eyes, Zuma had to put down the binoculars and wait for a while. He didn't raise the binoculars to continue scanning until the dust that stirred up slowly fell and the outline of Ceuta city could be seen again with naked eyes.

Seeing this, he was completely stunned.

Because the defenders in the city of Ceuta are frantically rushing towards the port pier in the north, many people have already run onto the boat.

This distance, they seem to be out of reach!

The range of the five-hundred-jin city defense artillery was only about five or six miles, and in order to avoid being hit by shells after being discovered by the enemy, almost all the city defense guns were erected on the hills about three miles away from Ceuta City.

Originally, they planned to destroy the artillery on the southeast and west walls of Ceuta City, and then move the artillery forward two or three miles, so that they could bombard the city walls and forts in the direction of the northern port and pier.

Unexpectedly, after a round of shelling, they gave up all the city walls and ran away!

This really made Zuma stunned.

He had thought it would be a tough battle.

Because the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar is too narrow, no matter how the Spike and Flying Dragon sail in, they will inevitably be bombarded by several rounds of coastal defense artillery.

Moreover, there are so many 24-pound guns and 32-pound guns in Ceuta City with a range of more than ten miles, the armor of the dragon battleship can't hold a few shots.

Therefore, the fleets of the Daming Navy and the West African Navy did not venture across the Strait of Gibraltar to come to support.

This battle relied on his 90 chariot soldiers and [-] [-]-jin city defense artillery.

Originally, he didn't know how long it would take to take down this terrifying fortress.

Unexpectedly, they only tried one round of shooting, and they ran away without saying a word!

How to do it?

Continue to boom?

It seems like this kind of stupid thing can't be done.

They ran away, and this fortress belongs to them. It is a mess inside and needs to be repaired, which is very troublesome.

Zuma scanned with binoculars for a while, but did not issue any orders.

The city was empty, and the ironclad warships full of infantry had slowly left the port. It seemed that he could easily take Ceuta just by waiting for everyone to run away.

What order does he need to give at this moment?

It seems that he doesn't need to give any orders, as long as everyone leaves by boat, he can easily take the city of Ceuta.

After about a quarter of an hour of chaotic and busy work in the direction of the port and pier in the distance, all the armored warships finally left the port, and the pier was clean and no one was there.

Seeing this, Zuma ordered in a loud voice: "Order, 50 chariots and soldiers are carrying the ladder!"

There was a wave of command flags, and there was a roar like a mountain roar and a tsunami all around Ceuta City.

"Come on!"

The 50 soldiers of the Black God Army rushed towards the city of Ceuta carrying the ladder without hesitation.

The defenders who had just left by boat couldn't help showing a trace of lingering fear on their faces when they heard the terrifying roar.

There are so many cake buyers, if they stay in the city right now, they will probably be trampled to pieces!
That's how Ceuta was taken!
Zuma looked at the soldiers who were swarming up the city wall like ants, and couldn't believe it was true.

When Zhang Yuanfang received the news, he couldn't believe his ears.

He was stunned for a while, and then he gave the order: "Command Hong Kui to come here."

After waving the flag, Zheng Hongkui's flagship quickly approached Zhang Yuanfang's car.

Just when the two sides were connected, Zheng Hongkui quickly stepped on the springboard and boarded the deck of the Flying Dragon with a few swishes.

He quickly walked up to Zhang Yuanfang, cupped his hands and bowed, "The final general will see the governor."

The actual powers of the two are actually similar, they are both the commander-in-chief of the second rank, but Zhang Yuanfang, as the chief general of the Beiyang Navy, holds the title of the first rank of the left governor, while Zheng Hongkui, as the deputy general of the Dongyang Navy, holds the title of the right commander of the first rank .

The Ming Dynasty didn't have the military rank of Grand Commander, it was just Zheng Hongkui's respectful title for Zhang Yuanfang.

Zhang Yuanfang nodded slightly, and then solemnly said: "Hong Kui, just received the news that Zuma has captured Ceuta.

You lead [-] Spike warships to join Zuma in Ceuta, and I won't go.

After all, the Strait of Gibraltar is only that wide, and no matter how well camouflaged the Flying Dragon is, it may still be spotted by others.

You also have to be careful, don't line up too wide, and try not to get close to the north bank within [-] miles. "

Ah!
The city of Ceuta was captured?
Zheng Hongkui was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then hurriedly bowed his hands and said: "I will understand."

The city of Ceuta was taken, and western North Africa fell into the hands of Zuma's West African kingdom.

The next thing is simple, Zuma only needs to send his men to follow the spies pretending to be traders to recover the mining area occupied by the Spanish colonists.

If it was a seaside port or even a fortress, it might give Zuma a headache. The inland mining area is nothing in front of his 200 million Black God Army soldiers.

If the Spanish colonists dared to stand up to the end, they would seek death!
