Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

Under Dusha's command, his people quickly dug out several Spaniards' bodies.

This is the cemetery where the Spaniards buried their comrades after defeating Dorgon.

Shi Bowen saw that the complexion of the corpses was very different from that of the Han people.

It was the first time he saw it, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Red-haired devils? And golden-haired ones! Could these be... Portuguese?"

Zhao Huchen's face was a little solemn: "I once heard from the Ming people who came from the south that the Portuguese were in South America a hundred years ago. I didn't expect that they have come here now!"

Shi Bowen continued, "Yes! I'm afraid that only the Portuguese on this continent have firearms!"

He had heard from his predecessors in the Jinyiwei that last year the current emperor had personally led the South China Sea Navy to drive the Portuguese out of Taiwan Island.

These Portuguese are also enemies of the Ming Dynasty!

Judging from the corpses of the Yin people and Jiannu cavalry, the cruelty of the Westerners is evident.

If I encounter it next time, I will definitely not be lenient.

After Shi Bowen pondered for a while, he gave the order:

"Let's go, continue south!"

The team walked another mile and saw many Yin people's corpses appearing on both sides of the road.

Many people were shot in the back, some with musket wounds, and more with holes left by spears.

Until the foot of a mountain ridge at a narrow mountain pass, the corpses of the Jurchen cavalry and the Yin people were piled all over the ground.

When Shi Bowen and others saw this scene, they were all shocked by the fierce battle that had taken place here.

Although they did not find any Portuguese corpses, they knew that all of this was done by the Portuguese.

When the Yin people saw the tragic death of their fellow tribesmen, their eyes were filled with sadness and hatred.

Shi Bowen no longer went to look for the Portuguese cemetery as he had done before. There was no need to do so.

"Everyone, pay attention! From now on, the reindeer team will be in the front, and the soldiers and horses behind will advance at a distance of fifty feet from the reindeer team!"

He didn't know what was waiting for him ahead, but he knew he needed to be more cautious so as not to follow in Dorgon's footsteps.

Reindeer move quickly, so if they encounter an emergency, they can break out or retreat quickly.

So he deliberately kept a distance so that even if something happened, the team behind him would have time to respond.

So, Shi Bowen's sleigh was in the lead, followed by the reindeer team led by Du Sha, Zhao Huchen and others.

In order to avoid heavy casualties in the event of a sudden attack by muskets, the reindeer team was divided into three columns and followed closely.

Now he is used to driving the reindeer himself, and he also took two strings of bells from Dusha and hung them on the sled. It is said that this can make the reindeer more peaceful and obedient.

He drove the sleigh at full speed.

Soon it was getting dark, and suddenly a fortress appeared a hundred meters away, with bright lights on.

His heart tightened and he immediately slowed down the reindeer.

"Stop moving forward! Stop moving forward!"

The sled slowly stopped.

"Everyone, be quiet! Wait for my orders at any time!"

After saying this, he sat on the sled and quietly observed the movements on the fortress.

Dozens of breaths passed, there was no sound of muskets, no rain of arrows, and no murderous aura.

He was very curious.

At this distance, the people in the fortress should have spotted them long ago. Given the Portuguese's brutality, it was incredible that they did not launch an attack.

At this moment, the fortress gate slowly opened.

Several people slowly walked out from the door.

They just stood in front of the gate in such a swagger.

It seemed like it was waiting for their arrival.

Shi Bowen looked at the fortress tower carefully again.

I heard the lively sounds coming from inside, these sounds were full of joy, without a trace of murderous intent.

He did not act in a hurry, but waited and saw what would happen.

On the opposite side, Felipe led several officers and stood in front of the gate, their faces full of curiosity.

Caballero suddenly realized something and shouted respectfully:

"Your Excellency Governor Felipe, you are so thoughtful! You even specially prepared a Santa Claus segment for all of us to add to the festive atmosphere!"

"It is a great honor for us to have a Governor like you!"

Seeing this, other officers immediately echoed loudly: "Your Excellency the Governor, this is really well-intentioned. We are deeply moved!"

Felipe just smiled and said nothing when he heard this, but he was already very happy in his heart.

Which subordinate is so thoughtful to arrange such a good show and then push it onto this governor? He is really sensible.

After Christmas, this Governor will definitely reward him handsomely!

This is the western part of the northern border of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, bordering only the Indian territory. The colonial armies of other European countries are far to the east of North America.

They're going to come here and pretend to be Santa Claus?

impossible!

The Indians are all savages, and little is known about their Catholicism, so it is even more impossible for them to dress up so well.

They would rather believe that it was their own people who dressed up to create an atmosphere.

Felipe looked very proud when he saw that Santa Claus opposite him was not making any movement.

He couldn't help but waved and shouted at the other party:

"Hi! Santa Claus, come here!"

He was shouting in Spanish, which Shi Bowen could not understand.

"Damn, what kind of language is that!"

Shi Bowen couldn't help but complain.

Zhao Huchen said, "Brother Shi, it seems that he wants us to go over there."

Shi Bowen thought for a moment and gave the order immediately.

"Hide the weapons. You two, lead all the Tungus brothers and go with me to take a look."

"The rest of you, follow my orders and attack at any time!"

After giving the order, he slowly drove the deer forward.

"Everyone stay alert and follow my orders at any time!"

Chapter 477 Why isn’t he a prince?

Shi Bowen's sleigh began to move slowly towards the gate.

Only then did Felipe and others realize that behind Santa Claus, there was a large group of reindeer following.

They had never seen so many people riding deer before, and their jaws almost dropped to the ground in shock.

Caballero sincerely praised: "Oh, my dear Governor, you are so thoughtful!"

“Not only did you arrange Santa Claus, you also arranged so many reindeer riders!”

"This kind of work is rare even in my great Spain... no, even in the whole world!"

The other officers also echoed.

They didn't expect that the Governor could tame so many deer as mounts. They were shocked and moved.

Felipe looked at Caballero, who was flattering him, and was quite pleased.

He had already determined in his heart that this guy was responsible.

How long would it take to catch so many deer?

It seems that this guy put a lot of thought into giving the Governor a surprise this Christmas.

I am so moved that I am about to cry.

Felipe praised: "Major Caballero, you are very good!"

Caballero was delighted: "Dear Governor, thank you for your compliment!"

At this time, Lucio suddenly said: "Look, they are coming."

Everyone looked quickly and saw that under the light of the fire on the fortress, the sleigh and Santa Claus gradually appeared.

Shi Bowen had been tracking Dorgon for almost a year, but Hu Zi had no time to deal with him.

At this time, there were many snowflakes on his thick beard, which looked a bit like Santa Claus at first glance.

As for the reindeer caravan at the back, they were covered in furs and moved forward with their heads lowered, so that the firelight could not clearly illuminate their faces.

"Hey! Why is this Santa Claus wearing a tiger skin?" Captain Picasso was a little curious.

Major Lucio disagreed: "We are in such a remote place, in the snow and ice, it's great to be able to achieve such an effect!"

Several people watched and talked with great interest, feeling relaxed and comfortable.

Shi Bowen on the opposite side, his eyes were fixed on the fortress, and his hand was already on the Embroidered Spring Knife at his waist.

As the reindeer slowly moved forward, he secretly estimated the distance to the gate.

Twenty-five feet!

Twenty feet!

There was still no movement around!

If we move a little further forward and launch a charge, the enemy will not have time to close the gate and the fortress will be broken in one fell swoop.

The blood in his body began to boil and he gripped the Embroidered Spring Knife even tighter.

Closer, fifteen feet!

When they were at the last ten feet away, Shi Bowen finally jumped up.

He leaped upon the nearest reindeer and at the same time slashed with his knife all the ropes fastened to the sled.

He yelled: "Kill!!!"

The reindeer pulling the sled were frightened and broke free in an instant, rushing forward.

Du Sha and Zhao Huchen led a hundred Tonggus soldiers and rushed forward immediately when they saw the situation.

Caballero and others were watching with great interest, but suddenly they saw Santa Claus running away and were a little confused.

They all looked at Felipe: "Governor, is this also the program you arranged?"

Felipe came to his senses, turned around and ran away, shouting at the same time.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Close the door! Close the door!!!"

After they all ran in, the door began to close slowly.

When the soldiers on duty on the upper floor of the fortress saw this, they quickly lit their muskets and aimed at the enemies below.

However, when the fuse was only half burned, Santa Claus, who was at the front, riding a reindeer, waving a sword, shouting, had already rushed into the fortress gate.

After charging, Shi Bowen kept his eyes on Felipe. He knew that the person who could stand at the front must be a high-ranking official.

After rushing into the gate, the first knife slashed fiercely at Felipe's neck.

puff! ! !

Clean and quick, the head fell to the ground.

The reindeer were just too fast.
