Chapter 133 Three Inches
Pereira recognized Mai Yatu, who was captured by a beggar. The mighty slave trader wore a complete set of milan armor he bought from Goa with more than 30 cruzado gold coins, and was thrown by the Ming army on the battlefield like a bundle of animals. At the back of the battle, he heard the Australian defender convey to him the meaning of the commander of the Ming army on the opposite side.

Ask him to retreat, bring all the men with weapons into the barracks, pause for a while, and the Ming army will launch an attack.

"What a savage!"

Pereira complained in such a low voice, cursing countless times in his heart to send the commander opposite to hell, but it couldn't change his lack of courage to fight the Ming army.

Right now, right here.

Forts are in the hands of the enemy, and a good commander should know when to advance and when to retreat.

Especially under the aim of the artillery, no one wants to taste the high-quality craftsmanship of the Bugarao Cannon Foundry. The shells do not necessarily hurt the body, but they will definitely die.

Even if the fort can only fire one shell in a short period of time, it is God's punishment for the dense formation of adventurers.

Several big men in plate armor gathered in the phalanx, weighed the pros and cons and came to a unanimous conclusion: retreat to the barracks first, and let Maiyatu's people test the true strength of the Ming army.

If the strength is weak, they should forcefully defeat them and take back the gun tower at the cost of even two shells. If the strength is strong, they should sit down and talk, and listen to the Ming army commander's views on Haojingao.

This is just the opinion of some people, and some people think that since the Ming army has raised their guns to them and snatched the fort, it has already declared war. They should work with Maiyatu's troops to annihilate the Ming army, and gather warships after taking back the fort. Invaded the Guangzhou government.

The young noble who said this has been isolated by Pereira.

"Young people who have never experienced the Tuen Mun and Shuangyu battles!"

It has been a long time since Portugal and Spain began to conquer the world, which has caused the young generation to be a little ignorant, which made Pereira deeply worried.

"Do you think that the vast land we get is really capable of conquering the world?"

In the barracks, nobles, ship owners, and wealthy merchants from Portugal, Spain, and Italy gathered to discuss countermeasures.

To the western world, Haojing was a free port, and there was no governor or garrison here. According to the people of the Ming Dynasty, there were nothing but raters here.All of them paid [-]% of the goods to the Ming Dynasty to provide military expenses for the continuous use of troops in Guangdong and Guangdong.

It was [-]% originally, but when Wu Guifang was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, they had lightly attacked the Guangzhou government. After water and food were cut off, the draw in the Ming Dynasty became [-]%.

In order to avoid being exploited, merchants from foreign countries often docked their big ships on desolate islands outside Macau to avoid exploitation.

But over time, with the Portuguese-based immigration policy, more than 300 adventurers and businessmen came to Asia every year, some stayed in Southeast Asia, some stayed in Japan, and [-] of them would stay in Macau.

Only half of them return to Portugal each year.

Some people no longer sailed on the sea, opened up the relationship with smuggling merchants on land in the Ming Dynasty, bribed officials in Guangdi, and became suppliers of Yi merchants and Ming merchants in Haojing.

Raw silk, silk, satin, porcelain, musk, pearls, hats, spices from Malacca, ivory, sandalwood, the buying price of [-] catties of raw silk in Haojing is only [-] cruza more, not to mention their transactions with Ming Dynasty smugglers Use the means of barter more.

This made them a lot of money, and some people even built luxury houses in Haojing that cost as much as three or four thousand cruzados.

One house can buy a hundred sets of Milano armor or ten thousand catties of high-quality raw silk.

Add a little more money, [-] cruzados, which is the price of the chartered route to Macau auctioned by the Governor of Malacca.

Pereira shook his head, "Spain won in America because the Inca fell into civil strife due to smallpox, and the kingdom won in Manchuria because they tricked their king out of the city to support another puppet... and the Ming Dynasty, we can't set foot on it at all. Go to their land, do you want to incite those Japanese pirates to rebel?"

Spain and Portugal have the same origin and the same species, and even the language is the same. The two kings divided the world after passing through the Pope's meridian. During this time, they fought together on the sea far away from the country.

"Their ships are not even as good as those vicious pirates at sea, but on land?" Pereira coughed twice, took down the American pipe from his mouth, and said, "Praise God, we can't go to war with them."

Running and shouting came from a distance to end Pereira's lengthy and worried speech. When he climbed up the watchtower of the camp, the first thing he saw was the damn bright face on the fort and a black hole pointing at the camp.

At least now they know that as long as they don't act rashly, the cannon will not be shot down easily, so at the end of the street in the distance, hundreds of African slaves, Japanese ronin, barbed Cabari warriors and some Portuguese adventurers held their hands. It was the figure rushing towards the meeting square that really attracted them.

The leader is a Japanese wearing a samurai armor, holding a slightly curved iconic sword and running slowly.

He is Renta Miura, the most brave and ruthless ronin on Shuangyu Island in the past. He was recruited by Maiartu as the boatswain in his early years, and now he is another captain of Maiartu's fleet.

Haojingao is not like the Shuangyu Island in the past. The city hall dare not exercise power swaggeringly. There are only a few judges and clerks, and there is no army for them. There are only one captain after another and their sailors. The barbarian troops in Haojingao.

"What did the gnawing Japanese say?"

From a long distance, Chen Mu saw Miura Liantai shouting something to this side with a sword in hand, asked Qi Zhengyan beside him, and then said to Deng Zilong and Sun Ao, "Let all the hundred households stay safe." , Wait for the enemy troops to spread out, listen to my order and directly release small flags and arrows to pick up the passengers."

Sun Ao bowed his head in salute and turned around to leave. Deng Zilong raised his foot and asked, "Qianhu, when will you charge?"

"Fire the blunderbuss for one round, and charge after you're done!"

They only had hundreds of blunderbusses, and they lacked bows and crossbows. The only firearm other than small flags and arrows was Deng Zilong's hundreds of fast guns, which had to be hit close to the face. This level of attack determined Chen Mujun's attack sequence.

If there are five more tiger squatting guns, they will be able to gain a greater firepower advantage in large-scale security battles.

What Chen Mu lacks most now is the firepower from a hundred paces away.

"Hey, Mr. Chen, that Sancunding said that we captured his master, and he is going to take a boat to wash Guangzhou City with blood."

Hearing what Qi Zhengyan said, Chen Mu couldn't help laughing out loud, this grandson hasn't figured out the situation yet, grandpa came here to kill you guys!
As he shook his head, the military master changed into a cold and stern face: "I originally wanted to scream in the mountains and forests, but I was born with three inches of legs... The little bastard still wants to sail my boat to Guangzhou?"

130 steps.

110 steps.

The conflict between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out, but the direction of the southeast shipyard in Haojing was faster than them. The faint sound of shouts and killings from the coast a few streets away was mixed with the dull sound of gunfire, which made the sailors led by Miura Renta, who had accumulated to the top, suddenly panic. Suffocated, they all looked behind in horror.

The time has come!

At this moment, Chen Muti suddenly raised his waist knife in his hand and swung it forward, shouting loudly: "The whole army obeys the order, advance twenty steps, and raise the gun!"
