The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 158

A series of bad news brought unspeakable despair to Barossa.

A feeling of the sky is falling spontaneously!

It is exactly like the despair of Emperor Chongzhen when he heard the news that Li Chuang was marching east, Datong, Xuanfu, Juyongguan and other important towns had surrendered one after another, and thieves were approaching the capital.

Catastrophe is imminent!

At this moment, the commander guarding the city wall strode into the governor's mansion and spoke.

"Governor...Your Excellency the Governor, the Bishop of Sares and the Archon of Rica were captured by the Ming army in the port of Manila."

"The Ming army sent people to send a letter of persuasion written by the bishop of Sares and the consul of Rika..."

Hearing this, Barossa instantly slumped on the sofa, as if all the bones in his whole body had been taken away.

Originally, when the news of the defeat of San Jones and Lingayen came, he was determined to live and die with Manila.

However, as various bad news continued to come in during this period, Barossa's mentality gradually changed.

Actually, if it wasn't for Barossa's embarrassment, he wouldn't be able to do something like Bishop Sares mobilized the believers to fight the Ming army and run away by himself.

Barossa has already run away!
"Master Governor, do we want to accept the persuasion?"

Manila's city defense commander asked.

His Excellency the Commander remains pessimistic about whether he can defend the city of Manila.

In the two battles between San Jones and Lingayen, Manila's [-] regular army was wiped out, and now he has a group of militiamen who have hardly experienced any training.

If the Liberation Army really comes, except for those religious fanatics, they may fight desperately, fighting for God to the last moment.

The rest of the people probably dispersed as soon as the Ming army's cannon fired!

What a fart!

If he has the time to think of ways to defend the city, he might as well think about the hundred ways to die in resisting to the end, or the hundred ways to surrender.

Barossa sighed and spoke.

"Send someone out of the city to talk to the Ming army and get a preferential treatment!"

Finally, Barossa made the wisest choice in the face of tremendous pressure.

……

The Ming army camped outside the city of Manila. The Chinese people near Manila spontaneously pushed carts and carts of supplies to the outside of the Ming army’s barracks, eating pots of pulp to welcome the king’s army!
Wu Shan, who is missing a hand, is the most active one among these common people.

He took out all the good wine stored in his own restaurant, and spent money to buy five chickens, three fish, and half a piece of pork, all marinated.

He also asked the buddy to steam the steaming big meat buns.

Bring these foods and come to the barracks to reward the army!

"Master Jun, please accept it, Lord Jun, this is all a little wish from the people of Ming Dynasty!"

"Master Wang crusades against the red hair and conquers Lu Song. We ordinary people have to show something."

Wu Shan said sincerely to the logistics officer of the Guangfu Army in front of him.

The logistics officer of the Guangfu Army shook his head vigorously, persuading him with a bitter face.

"My fellow, take everything back, I really can't take it!"

"The Guangfu Army is the master of the Ming Dynasty, and the military law is strict. They can't take the people with a needle and a thread. They won't demolish houses if they freeze to death, or take them away if they starve to death."

"If I take something from my fellow villager today, the governor will have my head chopped off!"

Wu Shan sighed in his heart, this is the master of the Celestial Dynasty!
This kind of scene continued to be staged. Facing the military supplies sent by the people, the Liberation Army resolutely refused.

Seeing that Zheng Jun had already picked up the steamed buns, steamed buns and meat that fellow villagers sent to reward the army, Zheng Jun was quite embarrassed to eat them.

Compared with the Liberation Army who didn't take the people's stitches and stitches, I, the master of the Ming Dynasty, seemed a little watery...

At this moment, Zhu Hongyu and Ma Xin walked out of the barracks together.

Looking at the mess outside the barracks, Zheng Jun looting for food, and the Liberation Army who resolutely refused to take a single needle from the people, Ma Xin's face turned dark.

Originally, he thought that Zheng Jun, who could not rob things or loot, only took the military supplies sent by the people on his own initiative, could be regarded as a strict military discipline.

But look at those Liberation Army soldiers next to them who are drooling greedily and dare not ask for food from the common people.

This contrast is too obvious!
Zhu Hongyu saw Ma Xin's embarrassment, patted him on the shoulder, and spoke to the logistics officer of the Liberation Army.

"Since it's the wishes of the villagers, let's accept it!"

"Do a good job of statistics, how much supplies the fellow sent to reward the army, and pay according to the market price!"

Seeing this scene, Ma Xin forced his respect, and gave orders to Zheng Jun.

"Did you fucking hear that? Do a good job of statistical work, how much money should be paid later, we are the master of Ming Dynasty, and we are the team of the surname of the country, we can't eat for nothing!"

Zheng Jun all agreed.

Zhu Hongyu had a slight smile on his face, as well as an expression of seeing through but not telling.

Just when the two arranged for the Chinese people to reward the army, the soldiers of the Liberation Army who went to Manila to deliver the letter returned to the barracks and reported to Zhu Hongyuhui.

"Reporting to the governor, Barossa, the governor of the Spaniards, expressed his willingness to surrender!"

"But he wants a decent treatment, and we also want us to ensure that the legal rights of all Spaniards in Luzon are not violated and not persecuted."

"Let us allow Spaniards to freely choose whether to continue to live in Luzon!"

Zhu Hongyu just raised his eyebrows, and said to Ma Xin who was beside him.

"Hehe, this red-haired governor is ugly, but he thinks beautiful!"

Ma Xin also smiled and nodded in agreement.

Zhu Hongyu turned his head, his face quickly collapsed, and he said very sternly.

"Tell the red-haired governor, what the governor wants is unconditional surrender!"

"Don't talk to the governor about the conditions, the governor's patience is limited!"

"If you don't surrender, all the Spaniards will be killed after the city is broken!"

After arranging for the envoy to continue the talks with Manila, Zhu Hongyu then arranged for people to prepare for the siege.

Regarding the matter of persuading surrender, Zhu Hongyu's attitude is that it is best if you can surrender, and it doesn't matter if you don't surrender.

If the enemy can surrender unconditionally, the Liberation Army can take over a complete bastion defense, and save the manpower and material resources needed to repair the defense later.

This is naturally the best!
What's more, it will take time to dig tunnels to attack the city anyway, and the Spaniards are unlikely to have reinforcements, just talk slowly!

Of course, if the tunnels to attack the city on the side of the Liberation Army are dug and the explosives are buried, the Spaniards will not surrender.

They don't need to surrender!

Zhu Hongyu kept his word and would send them all to see God.

……

Governor Barossa received the reply with an unusually ugly expression on his face.

The Liberation Army not only refused to give him any promises, but demanded his unconditional surrender!
Such a condition is really too harsh!
However, he has no other choice!

If he chooses to surrender now, it is only possible to be killed.

But if he doesn't surrender, he will definitely be killed after the recovery army breaks through the city.

As for keeping Manila...

Barossa never thought about it?
What do you rely on?Relying on the group of fanatics who have been brainwashed and fooled by the church?Or the group of militiamen with almost no combat experience?

Isn't this a joke?
