The sky above the zenith of Malacca City is blue, the blue sky is like washing, and the white clouds make the scenery beautiful!

At that time, there was no air pollution, the population was not large, green, environmentally friendly, and primitive, which was the golden age of tourism.

But the black smoke that enveloped the city of Malacca was a mixture of gunsmoke, oil smoke and thick smoke, hovering above people's heads, as hideous as a demon!

Every day, oil bombs dragged long columns of smoke over the city, solid bullets whistled, shrapnel exploded in the air, and unimaginable earth-shaking sounds rumbled, filling the ears of the red-haired fans and Malays in the city, shaking their hearts.

The living sit or walk with their mouths open--- so that their ears feel better, but if they close their mouths, they will not be at peace at the end of the day, every day, and at night, and their eardrums will be painful.

Dizziness, numbness, coupled with the stench of corpses and garbage, is omnipresent and disgusting, and there are attacks by Chinese people all the time, people spend their days in the city like years, only feel extremely tormented, and even envy those dead people, no longer have to suffer!

The weather was as hot as fire, and the dead smoke lingered, and the heavy density of the city sky, and the signs of seeing it made everyone in the city extremely gloomy.

Corpses appear every day, in streets, squares, coasts, yards, and roads, and some people are killed while walking and eating flying shrapnel or cannonballs.

There are also people who sit on the side of the road and wait for death, begging weakly: "Give me something to eat!" "The next day it stiffened, this is starvation!

There was a serious shortage of food in the city, and the red hairy fan still had something to eat, but the rationing system had been implemented, and the soldiers were coarse wheat bread every day, and they had no meat to eat for a long time.

The Malays have meat, but what kind of meat will this meat be?

There were so many dead that even the red-haired fans and ignorant Malays who believed in Jesus' resurrection knew how to deal with the dead, but there was no place in the city.

So he threw himself into the water, and if anyone looked into the blue and transparent water of the harbor, he would see piles of dead bodies lying quietly on the oily green stones, and on them were schools of gray fish that were still and did not move......

The siege had lasted for five months, and some of the battleships of the Southeastern Army had been withdrawn, the 2nd Marine Division had become the 3rd Marine Division, and some of the army units had participated in the battle.

The army used artillery to attack, and in addition to firing artillery, the army and marines had long used scattered lines to attack, so as not to gather in a group, so as to avoid enemy bombs falling in the crowd.

Focus on hitting enemy personnel, shoot, or throw a bomb at the sight of an enemy.

Whether it is attacking or defending the city, the word "boring" is taboo, and the morale of the army is still sufficient, and the troops who have participated in the battle have gained experience and qualifications, and everyone is very satisfied.

Of course, the Audit Office of the Ministry of Finance mutters from time to time that the war dragged on too late!

Hong thinks he played well, but in fact, he did far more than people imagined.

After the Siege of Malacca, the southeastern province's own military historians conducted an extensive investigation, and then their completed reports were sealed.

Because numbers are too sensitive!

Before the war, the city of Malacca was very prosperous and wealthy, and many Malays who were unwilling to accept the heavy tax policy of the southeast province fled to live in the city of Malacca, and the population exceeded the reconnaissance of the intelligence agencies of the southeast province!

The intelligence agency focuses on the strength and equipment of the Red Maofan, and has a contemptuous attitude towards the Malays, believing that they are fleshy feet, so the population information is not complete at all.

The information of military historians comes from the first-hand information of the red hairy fan in the city, mainly the population registration of the tax payment.

Military historians have found that the city of Malacca has a large number of residents, more than 200,000 people!

Attacked by the Southeastern Army, there was a severe famine and epidemic, and by the end of the siege, there were more than 200,000 Malacca residents, and only 3,000 survived!

The Hongmaofan, on the other hand, was violently attacked, and because of the spread of the epidemic among the residents, it was transmitted to them, and no less than 1,500 of the more than 2,000 people died, and in addition to being killed, not a few died of disease.

In the official battle report of the Southeast Army, the figures of the two sides only mention the losses of Hongmaofan, and there is no mention of the number of deaths among the residents of Malacca.

The dignified high-ranking officials in the Southeast Mansion who wore top hats and straight tunics pretended not to know about this.

The reports of military historians were encrypted and not made public, and within the Southeast Prefecture and the Southeast Army, the accusations that Hong Xuguan spent too much money disappeared.

What is money, people are more troublesome than money, less money and no money!

The southeastern army continued to bombard, and the city of Malacca was only scattered and weakly returned to the artillery, their gunpowder had bottomed out, the personnel were exhausted, and the eyes of the living were blue, and they cared more about food than the enemy's attack.

Hungry!

Hungry!

Where can I find food?!

The red-haired fan, who could walk, looked for food and fuel everywhere, and the red-haired fan, who couldn't walk, fell into religious mania, praying to Xiao Ye all day long, hoping that a kamikaze would destroy the evil Chinese fleet.

Or, let the Chinese rush into the city and put an end to everyone's suffering!

It's a pity that this is Mazu Niangniang's territory, she blesses her people, and the southeast government, which pays attention to the construction of the "Meteorological Bureau", must do a good job of forecasting, and the kamikaze is destined to not blow.

The soldiers and civilians besieging the city ate well and supplied by boat, which was far stronger than the supply on land!

A large ship in the southeast province can easily transport hundreds of tons of supplies from thousands of kilometers away to the front line, and the cost is not much, so the southeast army eats very well.

If grain is transported by land, only a few dozen tons of grain can be sent to the front line, and the officers and men have to tighten their belts to fight.

Officers and soldiers bathed in fresh water when they had time, and service companies outsourced by the army came to serve the troops, cleaning, washing clothes, and serving the wounded.

The good time of the Chinese caused a serious panic in the Governor of Malacca, Alonso, who knew that today, as long as the Chinese were willing to push forward, the city of Malacca could be occupied, but the Chinese did not come!

A terrible thought came to his mind: "Don't let the Chinese want to starve us to death!" ”

"Or do they want us all to die?" He thought he had to act.

……

A small boat with a white flag left the harbor and headed for the Southeast Fleet in the open sea.

For this small boat to be dispatched, even the most tenacious Hongmao Fan did not object, or did not have the strength to oppose it.

A cruiser of the Southeastern Fleet intercepted the boat, and when he learned that it was carrying the Hongmao envoys who had come to negotiate, he led the way and took them to the commander.

Let the red-haired envoy Mehannachi, a Greek who knew Chinese, be shocked to see a red-haired fellow citizen receive them.

"Hello, I'm Cabot, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Southeast Fleet, can I help you with anything?" The red-haired fan, who was dressed in a glamorous navy general's costume of the Southeast Army, said in Mandarin.

Cabot, originally from England, a good friend of Mr. David, proficient in navigation and gunnery, Mr. David knew him, wrote a letter to recruit him to defect to the Southeastern Army, and was regarded as a person who defected early, but he was sold for a good price, and is now a naturalized Chinese.

"Hello, I am Mehranrachi, and I have come to negotiate with you on the orders of the Governor!" Mehralchi said.

He explained what he meant, much to Cabot's surprise: "What? We have to be kind to you, or you will destroy your own city yourself?! ”
