The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 114 Peace Talk
The scout clasped his fists in agreement, then turned and left.

Zhu Hongyu narrowed his eyes, looked in the direction of St. Jones, and said.

"Go ahead!"

"promise!"

Zhu Hongyu's personal soldiers strode away.

Not long after, there was a loud bang, countless times louder than the thunder when the storm came, and the roar resounded throughout the field.

That section of the city wall rose high and then fell.

The next moment, masonry splashed, and the solid bastion of St. Jones collapsed instantly.

When the smoke cleared slightly, the Liberation Army rushed towards St. Jones like a torrent.

The sound of shouting and killing overwhelmed everything!
A few kilometers away from St. Jones, the envoys were stopped by the sentries of the Liberation Army.

Just when Zhao Yuanan and Lin Wenqi, who were in the lead, persuaded the soldiers of the Liberation Army who blocked them, to let them go.

There was a loud bang from the direction of St. Jones City!
In the next moment, a large puff of smoke filled the air.

The bricks and rocks were thrown far away by the collapse, and some bricks and rocks even fell not far from them.

Lin Wenqi, Zhao Yuanan, and even Wang Lixian, who was in Xiying, all looked in the direction of St. Jones City with dull eyes.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, knowing that San Jones might be captured!
However, what made Lin Wenqi, Zhao Yuanan and others even more amazed was that half an hour was only half an hour!
They were allowed to pass!

Along the way, the Liberation Army monitored and headed towards St. Jones.

Wang Lixian finally saw the current state of St. Jones clearly!
A huge gap appeared on the solid bastion of St. Jones, and there were bricks and stones that fell to the ground everywhere around the bastion.

The Spanish cross flag flying high above the bastion has fallen, replaced by the twelve-pointed sun and moon flag of Ming Dynasty.

The twelve-pointed sun and moon flag fluttered with the wind, making all the Han people who saw this big flag look complicated.

Although Lin Wenqi and Zhao Yuan'an are traitors now, when they were young, how could they not have fantasized about the scene of the king's expedition, punishing the people for crimes, and conquering disobedient ministers?

The chaos in the city of St. Jones has not yet been quelled. After the mission entered the city, what they saw was that the Liberation Army was hunting for the defeated Spanish soldiers.

Although the Restoration Army has already captured the city, it will take some time to clear the enemy army in the city.

Soldiers of the Liberation Army wearing breastplates and holding muskets walked through the street, looking around with piercing eyes.

The Spaniards in San Jones, regardless of men, women, young or old, all showed horror when they saw the recovery army.

In the past in Luzon, the Chinese were afraid of the Spaniards, but in San Jones now, it's just the opposite.

A group of Liberation Army soldiers ran past and rushed into a house.

After a burst of crackling gunshots, several blood-stained Spanish soldiers were captured.

Then on the side of the street, the heads of these Spanish soldiers were simply cut off!

His head rolled over on the ground, revealing faces full of ferocity and despair.

The headless corpses were randomly piled up together, and the blood flowed all over the ground.

Lin Wenqi's lips trembled, pointing to the scene where the Spanish troops were being routed, and asked in a somewhat unfriendly tone.

"Those Spanish soldiers have surrendered, why are you killing them?"

The soldiers of the Liberation Army who escorted them just gave Lin Wenqi a sideways glance, and then said in a very calm tone.

"My great general gave them a chance. They won't surrender before the city is broken, and none of them will be left after the city is broken!"

Zhao Yuanan also spoke.

"But even so, how can you treat the Spanish soldiers who surrendered like this, it is too barbaric!"

The Liberation Army soldier snorted coldly and said.

"Come with the red-haired ghost who has slaughtered innocent Chinese people many times. We just killed some defeated soldiers. We are much more civilized!"

"At least we didn't learn from the Spaniards and massacre civilians, didn't we?"

Zhao Yuanan and Lin Wenqi had nothing to say, because it was true.

Although the Spaniards call themselves civilized people, let alone civilized people, they don't do anything that has anything to do with people.

Not long after, the mission was brought before Zhu Hongyu.

Zhu Hongyu glanced around and saw Wang Lixian, but his eyes did not stay on Wang Lixian, but he spoke directly.

"What do you mean by sending me to the Liberation Army?"

"Did the Manila Governor's Office send you here to apologize to the Liberation Army and make compensation for what happened in San Fernando?"

Zhu Hongyu was sitting behind a table, his demeanor was very relaxed, but he was very dignified.

When he was in the mountains, Zhu Hongyu's majesty was pretended, so he needed to maintain a demeanor.

But now, since the Restoration Army came out of the mountains, it has continuously won victories, annihilated a large number of Spanish troops, successively attacked cities, and achieved great results.

Even if Zhu Hongyu just sat there and didn't do anything, there was a majestic presence on his body that made people dare not look directly at him.

After hearing Zhu Hongyu's words, Lin Wenqi retorted.

"Your Excellency, the San Fernando matter, you should apologize to the Governor's Palace!"

"It was only the Spanish soldiers who slaughtered China!"

"But after you breached San Fernando, you brutally killed all the Spaniards in San Fernando!"

"You should repent for the crimes you committed!"

Zhu Hongyu said with a cold snort.

"I don't care who slaughtered the Chinese, I will only blame all the Spaniards!"

"The Tuhua tragedy happened in San Fernando, I will kill all the Spaniards in San Fernando!"

"If there is a Tuhua massacre in Manila, I guarantee that I will kill all the Spaniards in Manila, and I will do it!"

"Don't talk about benevolence and righteousness with me, benevolence and justice are for people, and animals that slaughter civilians at will are not worthy!"

Zhu Hongyu glanced at the punch again, and then spoke.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense!"

"Let's be honest, what is the purpose of your mission?"

Zhao Yuanan said.

"Your Excellency, the Governor wants to have peace talks with Your Excellency the General."

Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while, knowing that the Liberation Army is unable to fight any longer. Instead of continuing to fight against the Spaniards, it is better to negotiate peace with the Spaniards, and then divide the territory and concentrate on development.

Zhu Hongyu is confident, relying on his knowledge far beyond this era, as long as he is given a period of time, he will be able to lead the recovery army to develop rapidly.

The strength of the recovery army can be doubled!

"It can be discussed, what are the conditions of the Governor's Mansion?"

Zhu Hongyu asked.

Lin Wenqi spoke.

"The Restoration Army withdrew from St. Jones and retreated. The two sides used Lingayen as the boundary to divide their forces. The north of Lingayen belonged to the Restoration Army, and the south belonged to the Governor's Palace."

"The two sides 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 bought with the blood and lives of our Liberation Army soldiers!"

"If this general orders to retreat, how can he be worthy of the soldiers who spilled blood on the territory?"

"My Great Ming territory, I won't give up an inch of land!"

Zhao Yuanan stood up and said.

"The hinterland of the Central Plains is just beyond St. Jones. St. Jones is controlled by the Liberation Army. This is absolutely unacceptable to the Governor's Palace."
