Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 754
Zhu Yousong took advantage of this gap to look at the bastion again near the city gate.Close at hand, this time I can see more clearly.

It was also the first time for Zhu Yousong to see such a castle, and it was indeed different from the cities of the Han people.Its design is very simple, there is no auxiliary city and watchtower, only a simple city wall.

The city walls are all made of stones and pulled into the shape of an eight-pointed star. There is no moat outside and the city walls are not high.The city is high and the pool is deep, which is beyond the question.

Zhu Yousong, who was immediately near the city wall, took a visual inspection. With his current skills, if he jumped up immediately, he could easily fly up to the city wall.That is to say, if there is a real fight, this city wall can't stop him at all.

If there is no defense in the city, the army can go to the bottom of the city, and erect a long ladder to climb the city wall in minutes.

However, Zhu Yousong understood that the key to the bastion was the defense system on the city.He saw the gunpoints of the red cannons and the Qianjin Flang machine, and also saw a row of red-haired musketeers. The gunpoints and musketeers also formed an octagonal shape along with the city wall. So that the entire city defense does not leave any dead ends.

From the base of the wall under the nose to the range of the red cannon within ten miles away, they are all under the fire defense of the city.

The seemingly simple city defense layout is actually impeccable at all. No wonder Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang couldn't take it down. It is actually a stupid move to attack such a castle forcefully.

These red-haired boys are really cunning, Zhu Yousong sighed secretly when he saw this.Fortunately, I gave him this trick to break through from the inside.Otherwise, it is really impeccable.

Zhu Yousong carefully looked at the red-haired thieves in front of him again, no matter whether they were on the city or at the gate of the city, they were not superior to others.The difference is that they have red hair, their noses are different from those of the Han people, and their eyes are also a little strange.The eyeballs are not jet black, but a kind of faint black.

In addition, what they hold in their hands are all muskets.The power of this thing far exceeds the sword and spear of the Ming army.However, in close combat, muskets cannot exert their power, and they will still bleed with a single blow.

At this time, a team came from the city. In front were two teams of red-haired men with live ammunition, but each of them wore snow-white gloves. In the middle was a luxuriously decorated carriage pulled by four large animals side by side.

The team stopped near the city gate, and two teams of Dutch soldiers would line up neatly. A Dutch soldier got out of the car, wearing a brand new military uniform, with a sword hanging from his waist and white gloves.

The city gate officer hurried over to salute, and it was Van Persie, the commander of the Dutch Navy stationed in Taiwan, who came.

With a happy face, Van Persie strode towards Zhu Yousong's horse's head, then smiled and said in not-so-fluent Chinese: "Your Majesty Daming is here in person, and the town is full of splendor. Commander of the navy, Van Persie greeted him late and apologized face to face. "

As he spoke, he respectfully performed a standard Dutch military salute.

When Zhu Yousong saw Fan Persie, he was very polite and jumped off his horse. Liumei also dismounted and led the animals.But keep full vigilance, everyone knows that this is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.I don't know when the next moment will be life and death.

Their life and death matters are minor, the key is to take good care of them.

"Your Excellency, Commander, are you safe?" Zhu Yousong said politely with a smile.On the surface, the two look like old acquaintances who have parted ways and reunited, but in fact, it is the first time they meet.

Zhu Yousong's words imply irony, which means that the former you flaunted your might at sea and drove the army to Fuzhou, but you fled in embarrassment, and now you are here to gossip again.

I don't know if he understood, but Van Persie laughed, "Your Majesty's demeanor is really extraordinary. Your Excellency the Prime Minister is already waiting for you. I am here to welcome you. Your Majesty Daming is welcome to get in the car."

Although this car was extremely luxurious at the time, it was also more advanced than Zhu Yousong's Long Huan.But Zhu Yousong dismissed it. As a time traveler, he has done the big Ben and BMW hundreds of years later, let alone the broken car in front of him?This is so primitive.

Therefore, Zhu Yousong said politely: "Your Excellency's kindness is appreciated. I'm still not used to being chased by cars. It's better to ride a horse. Please lead the way, Your Excellency."

After Zhu Yousong finished speaking, he flew on his horse.The escorting six beauties and beauties also sat gently on their horses, like butterflies playing with flowers.

Van Persie didn't force it either, and then ordered a cannon to be fired.

The red-clothed cannon shoots towards the sky.The booming sound was earth-shattering, and a total of 19 rings were played, which is considered the highest standard for welcoming guests.

As soon as the cannon fired, the Ming army camp in the distance caused a shock, and tens of thousands of generals were ready to charge at any time.Dozens of red cannons of the Ming army were also loaded.

On a hidden high place a few miles away from Chixian City, Liu Zhaoji, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Zheng Chenggong, commander of the first naval division, were closely observing the movement at the city gate with binoculars.

In addition, under Lu Jiude's supervisor, more than 2 soldiers of the Ming army, including the imperial camp, the navy and the generals on the shore were also ready to attack and kill.

After the salute was fired, two teams of red-haired musketeers, protecting Van Persie's luxurious carriage, cleared the way ahead.

Zhu Yousong followed behind on a horse, followed by six women.

As Zhu Yousong walked, he looked at their muskets in secret. This thing is really good. After winning this battle and capturing more, he has to rebuild the musket camp.

Because his musketeer battalion, as one of the imperial battalion arms, had played a lot of roles.It's a pity that in the battle to surrender Zhang Xianzhong, there was a fierce battle with Sun Kewang's troops. The blocking battle was the most tragic with fewer victories and more. After several hours of fierce fighting, his Musketeer Battalion was completely wiped out. One of the card masters, the white pole soldiers, was also wiped out in that battle, and has not had time to rebuild it so far.

While thinking about his own concerns, Zhu Yousong paid attention to the situation in the city. The castle was very vast, the streets were orderly, and the buildings were all Western-style.

Arrived at the Prime Minister's Office.Zhu Yousong got off his horse, and the rules of the negotiation were that he could not enter the negotiating hall on horseback, nor could he enter with a knife or gun. Of course, these things had to be taken care of, and they could not be handed over to the Dutch red-haired man.

Therefore, the task of guarding the seven horses and weapons was handed over to Gao Guiying and Huiying.

Needless to say, the importance of weapons is the big knives, long spears and long swords they carried with them, and Zhu Yousong's sword was also handed over to Gao Guiying.If they want to fight, it is inevitable to charge with horse-wheel sabers. These things are very important to them.

Then there are the war horses. Although there are only seven horses, they are a heavy burden at this time.A general without a horse is like breaking his legs.Therefore, there is no need for Zhu Yousong to exhort too much, of course Gao Guiying and Huiying know the importance of war horses, otherwise, how could Zhu Yousong let their mother and daughter act as Bi Mawen?
Zhu Yousong brought only three beautiful concubines and Xiao Liu, a total of four beauties, and followed the navy commander Van Persie into the negotiating hall.

The red-haired guards guarding the gate stopped the five of Zhu Yousong, and only allowed Zhu Yousong to enter by himself on the grounds that idlers and others in the important negotiating area were not allowed to enter. Now the four beauties will quit. Simei winked and said to the guard guarding the gate: "I am here with my wife for this negotiation, and these three are my concubines." Then she pointed at Xiao Liu, "This is my imperial scholar, There are no idlers waiting.”

The red-haired men who guarded the gate saw that the four beauties were more beautiful than the other, and they could be called the beauty of the sky. This emperor of the Ming Dynasty really had all the beauties in the world, and he had to take them with him when negotiating.But fate is hard to break, so several people hesitated.

At this time, the navy commander Van Persie repelled the guards at the gate. In his opinion, they were just four girls, including the two guarding the swords and horses outside. Du's appearance, he was courteous and polite to Zhu Yousong, with a pleasant smile: "Your Majesty, Emperor Ming, please come inside."

Zhu Yousong came in swaggeringly with Simei.Van Persie also came in, and then the door of the negotiation hall was closed.
