Section 924 The Chinese are weak?!
Someone once asked why Mr. David, the commander-in-chief of the general enemy, treated the red-haired fan politely, was it merciful to his subordinates?
Mr. David was very clever to say that he was just following the teachings of the leader, and that he was blessed by Mazu Niangniang, and that she didn't want to see too many people die, and that she was holy and virtuous in the world...... (300 words omitted).
The red-haired fan scared himself, we don't have the plan they talked about besieging the city in July and trapping everyone in the city to death, no way, the red-haired fan is low B, they can only blame themselves.
In any case, it is a fortunate thing that only 53 people were killed and more than 300 were wounded in the battle of Colombo.
After the war, Mr. David was naturally the first to talk about the merits, and he humbly said that whoever is in his position and gets so many arms can win the war!
But what should be given has to be given, his knighthood has been upgraded by one level, and the combatants who have titles have also been upgraded, anyway, bonuses, medals and so on can't run.
Taking Colombo City is only the first step, Yan Changwu is sitting in Colombo City, there is a major diplomatic matter, he wants to hold a summit with King Rajsinghe II of Kandy.
A brief history: In 1505, a Portuguese fleet landed in Colompo, Sri Lanka, with the three kingdoms of Tamil of Jaffna, Sinhala of Kandy, and Sinhala of Koti.
Kandyan Dynasty: Sri Lankan Dynasty. In the 14th century, an independent kingdom split from the Koti Kingdom, with the capital of Gampol, moved its capital to Sangetegrad in the 15th century, and occupied the southwest coast and the northern Jaffna region by Portuguese colonists in the 16th century, the Kandyan Kingdom became the only Sinhalese dynasty in Sri Lanka to resist foreign invasion and defend national independence.
The current king, Rajsinghe II, was not at peace with the Portuguese, and the two sides were at war, and Rajsinghe II was defeated.
He came up with a way to defeat the Portuguese and invited the Dutch to deal with the Portuguese, but it did not come to fruition.
The Chinese arrived and captured Colombo.
When Yan Changwu arrived in the eastern waters of Ceylon (Sri Lanka), he had already sent a messenger to invite Rajsingh II to join him in hunting Colombo City and attacking Hongmaofan together.
Different from the arrogant Hongmaofan, the Chinese were kind and wealthy, and treated the Ceylonese very politely, and the Chinese merchants in the Kandy Kingdom obeyed the law and traded fairly, and often gave gifts to Rajsingh II, so Rajsinghe II thought that the arrival of the Chinese king would be a good thing.
The word "hunting" is quite famous in Chinese history, of course, Rajsinghe II did not know the meaning of these two words, and he led a large army to Colombo City in high spirits.
A burly man with a round waist and a fist as big as a bowl, Rajsingh II was a first-class warrior with a golden crown and golden crocodile leather armor.
In a hurry, he dispatched 20,000 soldiers, an equal number of men, 800 musketeers, 80 light and heavy artillery, and 500 elephants, and marched to Colombo.
On the way, I heard that the Chinese were speeding down to Colombo City, and I couldn't help but be surprised!
In recent years, the Portuguese have become more and more afraid to provoke the Portuguese, and the Portuguese are wary of the Chinese to prepare for war, and the military strength in Colombo is quite strong, Rajsingh II can't beat the Portuguese in Colombo, and the Dutch don't dare to go to war, and everyone is deadlocked.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the Chinese came, the Portuguese knelt!
Hearing that it was only seven days of fighting, Rajsingh II and his ministers and generals were very surprised!
Their first reaction was impossible, how could they have taken down the heavily guarded Colombo City so quickly?
He asked again and again, knowing that it was the red-haired fan who went out of the city on his own to ask for surrender, and was even more surprised, and his prime minister Ashwera said: "It may be that Colombo City has gone wrong, and the Portuguese themselves have problems, otherwise it is impossible for the Chinese to take Colombo City at once!" ”
He thought that the biggest possibility was that Colombo City was plagued, epidemics, and there were too many people to die, so that it was impossible to hold the city and had to surrender.
"That's right! Right! Right! The ministers agreed: "Your Excellency Prime Minister is right! ”
Another minister put forward supporting materials and said: "The Chinese are weak, how can they be the opponents of the Portuguese!" ”
"That's right! The Chinese are weak! The ministers swarmed in agreement, hehe, they actually think that the Chinese are easy to deal with!
There is this illusion that the Chinese in the Kingdom of Kandy have no chance to show their fangs, but because the Kandy people do not want to make too many enemies before the Portuguese, and are friendly with the Chinese, the Chinese have no chance to show their prestige.
When the Kandyan army arrived on the outskirts of Colombo, the scouts reported that the Chinese king of the southeastern kingdom was outside the city, and Rajsingh II gladly went to meet the Chinese king.
He sat on a tall throne of war elephants, condescending, with countless male soldiers behind him, and he felt good about himself, and he had a sense of arrogance.
"The Chinese king is ahead!" The minister reported.
"Good!"
From a distance, he saw the Chinese king standing in the middle of the road, and Rajsingh II drove the elephant as a slave, and his face changed dramatically as he watched.
The phalanx of the Chinese army was dense, and the musketeers carried their guns on their shoulders, and the dense spears glittered like a forest in the sun.
When approaching the phalanx, it was even more incredible, the Chinese soldiers stood upright, motionless, horizontal is a line, vertical is a line, oblique is also a line, the military appearance is neat, unparalleled in the world!
Closer to it, I saw that the Chinese soldiers were beautifully fitted in military uniforms, generally strong and tall, and full of spirit.
The Chinese are weak?!
Rajsingh II and his generals on the backs of war elephants gasped!
He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, feeling quite uncertain.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! …… The cannon sounded, there was communication in advance, knowing that it was a salute, and the Kandyans were not taken aback.
But the salute was standardized and meticulous, showing good technique.
If you look closely, there are hundreds of 12-pounder cannons in rows and rows, while the maximum caliber of the Cannons of the Kandyans is only 6 pounders, and they are generally only 2-4 pounders.
Rajsingh II finally met the Chinese king, but he saw that the other party's military uniform was gorgeous and prominent, and the momentum was like a mountain, like a god descending to earth!
Such a leader, such an army, unseen and unheard of!
Unable to maintain his reserve any longer, Rajesingh II did not dare to reach the front of the people before he got off the war elephant, but quickly got off the war elephant ten meters away from the house and walked forward to meet them.
At this moment, Rajsingh II knew in his heart that the Chinese broke the city in seven days, which should be the ability of the Chinese, not the internal problems of the Portuguese, and the Chinese conquered the Portuguese in Colombo City with military strength!
