Section 894 Governor against the sky
It turned out that Alonso, the governor of Malacca, meant that he was willing to hand over the city, but the Chinese had to give him a good price, otherwise he would destroy the city!
If they don't agree, they will fight to the death, and on the day the city is broken, everything in the city will be destroyed!
sabotage of artillery and firearms; Burning food, supplies, and houses (wooden or thatched), destroying (masonry) houses, etc., and storing wealth in landfills so that the Chinese could not find it......
"What you will get is a dead city, and you will get nothing but death!" Mehanraj is rightly authentic.
Cabot said in surprise: "I'm sorry, it's the first time I've heard someone want to surrender and surrender like this!" ”
"I torture" and "cow B" are both buzzwords from leaders.
All the Chinese looked at each other and had to be convinced!
"Is this a surrender? This is to be an uncle! ”
Cabot went to see Officer Hung and relayed the Governor's conditions.
Condition 1: Guarantee the safety of his life and the private property of him and the surrendered Hongmaofan, and send them out of the country as a gift to return them to the land of Christ.
The Southeast Army gave preferential treatment to prisoners, and as long as those who surrendered did not rebel, the safety of their lives was guaranteed.
As for the inviolability of private property, it is difficult to say that, at most, the captives are allowed to take their personal belongings with them.
They lost the battle, and it was enough to save face by leaving their lives, and they still wanted to take a cart of belongings?!
It's not that there is no room for negotiation, there is preferential treatment for nobles and upper-class figures, and they can be agreed.
As for gifting the red-haired captives out of the country, generally, if you want to leave, just give a ransom.
If you don't pay a ransom, you generally have to work to create a ransom, but it's not impossible to open up the net.
Cabot then spoke of condition two: "We will also give the governor 100,000 silver dollars as a sale fee!" ”
It seems that Hong Xuguan's experience is insufficient, and he was dumbfounded, and he fell for this red-haired fan who opened his brain and got into the eyes of money.
Hong Xuguan hesitated and said: "It's really incredible, doesn't he understand their current predicament?" Are we winning, and they are at the disadvantage? ”
"They get it!" Cabot conveyed the envoy's meaning that the 100,000 silver dollars were not wanted by the Governor, but because after abandoning the city, he would return home to bribe the rulers to avoid an unfortunate end!
"Ho ho, you're looking for me for reimbursement!" Hong Xuguan sneered: "Do I look like a wronged man? ”
Cabot spread his hands and said honestly, "Maybe he really thinks so!" ”
He asked: "How shall we reply to the Governor?" ”
"It's almost the New Year in the siege now, we have to give a New Year's gift and take the city as soon as possible, well, promise him!" Hong Xuguan nodded.
"Give him 100,000 silver dollars?" Cabot asked.
"That's right." Hong Xuguan is sure to be authentic.
"He's crazy, and you ...... too," Cabot asked hesitantly.
"He's crazy, I'm not crazy!" Hong Xuguan said impatiently, waving his hand to chase away the guests.
"These 100,000 silver dollars, Commander, do you plan to come out on your own?" Cabot didn't move, and continued to ask.
You must know that such an expenditure, not to mention that the Audit Office of the Ministry of Finance will not be able to pass the test, even the military department will not approve money for him!
"Where did I get 100,000 silver dollars, even if I had, I couldn't give it to him!" Hong Xuguan shouted.
"No wonder the Prime Minister said you are mature, and you really are!" Cabot understood, and bluntly spoke.
Cabot did not give a military salute, arched his hand in admiration, and went out.
……
The two sides signed a treaty, under which the Governor of Rouge surrendered the city of Malacca intact, and the Chinese guaranteed the safety of his life and private property to the surrendered Mahofan and that of the surrendered Mahmoufan, and sent them out of the country.
As for the letter of commitment to the Governor, 100,000 silver dollars, it is not in the formal covenant, but a private contract, after all, Alonso also wants to save face.
After exchanging treaties, Mehanraji returned to the city, and a day later, Hongmao Fan surrendered the city according to the agreement.
The Marines of the Southeastern Army are stationed in the city and the forts!
As the red-haired fan said, they handed over the territory to the Chinese intact, and almost all the red-haired people were plump, and some people were too heavy with gold and silver to even walk!
The city of Malacca controls the strait, and there are many ships passing by, so there are many opportunities to make money.
The belongings of the dead comrades fell into the hands of the survivors.
The state-owned public property of the city of Malacca was swallowed by the high-ranking officials!
The Governor-General, with a personal guard of more than fifty people, stayed in the Governor's Palace, waiting for the Chinese to send him 100,000 silver dollars!
The result?
The next day, Zhu Hongmao Fan got the news that Alonso, the former governor of Malacca City, died of a violent illness!
When they heard the news, the red-haired fans who were still red after losing the battle were silent!
"We are very sorry that something like this happened, and we feel the loss of a friend, according to our Chinese, when we are ready to go home, he is blessed!" A naturalized foreigner, who speaks fluent Portuguese, said solemnly: "We will hold a grand funeral for him, bury him there, and you can see him off!" ”
The foreign translator pointed to Paul Hill in Malacca City: "The feng shui here is very good, just right for Lord Alonso!" ”
The heavily armed Southeast Army around them is eyeing the red-haired fan, and it seems that it is impossible not to go.
So all the red hairs attended Alonso's funeral, which was held in the famous St. Paul's Church, which was built in 1521 AD and has a history of more than 100 years.
Alonso's dead body lay in a coffin made of fine nanmu, dressed in fine gowns, with his hands resting and his face calm (he was powdered and oiled).
The priest presided over the funeral, and he wore a black robe with rusty white money, and a black shawl that looked like a bucket on the bottom.
The deacon of the church, whose face was flushed, was a large drunkard, also dressed in black, and in a black robe embroidered with money, and he held a cross, and he was very beautiful, and his belly was like that of a pig.
The chanter was a tall man who carried an incense burner.
"O Holy Lord, Reliable Holy Lord, Eternal Holy Lord......"
"He has returned to the arms of the Holy Lord! ……”
Wisps of blue cigarette smoke swirled, the women hid their mouths and whimpered, and the red-haired officers and soldiers were absent-minded, exchanging glances, they did not find the Governor's guard!
People came forward to mourn, and the representative of the Southeastern Army was Cabot, whose eyes were red (stimulated with chili peppers) and his voice was sad, expressing deep condolences to Alonso on behalf of the Southeastern Army and sincere greetings to his family!
Led by the clergy, eight red-haired soldiers carried the coffin out of the church, followed by the people who saw the governor on his final journey.
His cemetery is very good, the green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right, and it is difficult for his children and grandchildren to be underdeveloped......
At the time of the burial, the Southeast Army also put three rows of guns for him, and the ceremony was grand!
