Chapter 283: The Governor's Mission

Fight more with less, there is no choice in tactics, Zhang Chenfeng is ready to repeat the old trick - sneak attack and hard eating!

This time, the group followed the long tunnel all the way to the South Fort, and along the way they searched the inside of the closed fortifications to avoid any fish that slipped through the net.

As expected, the barracks on this side are similar to those of the East Fort, and they are also built next to the mountain wall, but the scale is a little larger, and it looks like there are at least four or five rooms.

Presumably, the layout of the West Fort is similar, right?

At the moment, Zhang Chenfeng divided the seven people into two groups, two carbines in each group, the first group was led by Xiao Liu, two carbines, two sniper steps, and four people were leveled here.

Zhang Chenfeng himself, on the other hand, continued to move forward with two observers and went straight to the West Fort......

This time, there was no need to worry as much as the sneak attack on the East Fort, Zhang Chenfeng let go of his hands and feet, so he decided to focus on capturing alive, and he didn't have to wipe his throat one by one, like just now, it was really not what he wanted.

Of course, in order to set an example for the chickens and monkeys, it is necessary to shoot a few times if necessary, and among so many people, there will always be stunned people who refuse to admit defeat.

Sure enough, the battle process was similar to that of the infantry in Fu Xinrui's uniform barracks.

didn't kill a few people at all, and the Franc machine artillerymen in their dreams were all taken prisoner one by one under the muzzle of the bead guns in a daze, and they were tied up into big dumplings one by one.

By the time the grenade explosion in the direction of the officer's building at the foot of the mountain came, the battle here had already been successfully completed, and more than 80 people had been captured in the two batteries.

The captives were placed in the custody of the observers, and several snipers set up positions around the East Battery, set up their sniper rifles, and observed the area around the Governor's Palace at the foot of the mountain.

The straight-line distance of more than 600 meters is still a bit far for the "bird sniper", but the front is a steep slope, and a suitable position can no longer be found.

Zhang Chenfeng decided to do it himself, for the sake of safety, he wanted to pass the only "Barrett" heavy sniper, lay quietly on the position, carefully set up the bracket, even out his breath, and slowly put his eyes on the scope......

……

When the explosion sounded in the back hill, Governor Faisa was in his office, half-reclining in his wide chair.

Just now, a "warm and harmonious" meeting with Jacob, the representative of the church, was successfully concluded, and the two sides had an in-depth and frank exchange of views on the response to the "Chinese attack on the garrison".

Later, the Governor prepared to appear in the quarrel of the next city council to make a final decision and make an important speech.

The gang of bigwigs of the municipal council have been arguing there for most of the night, and due to physical exhaustion, the daily work of scolding each other on the street has gradually come to an end.

Since neither of the two factions of "Lord Peace" nor "Lord War" can convince anyone, the bigwigs, who have long been dry-mouthed, have reached a common demand - please ask the Governor to make a final decision!

Originally, the Spanish Chamber of Commerce still wanted to insist on voting, but considering the absolute disadvantage in the number of votes, just think about it, horizontal and vertical is a loss, it is better to sell the favor of the Governor.

It was important for Fesusa to find out the attitude of the church.

In the Far East, the power of the Holy See was much stronger than that of the tiny Portuguese king.

After all, this is an era when royal power is subservient to divine power.

As for the rat-eyed cannon boss next door, to be honest, he didn't pay attention to it at all.

Since the "Lord and the faction" did not have the absolute upper hand, he, who had received the tacit approval of the church, could decide the overall situation as soon as he came forward.

What really needs him to spend a few more words is how to share the cost.

At the thought of apportioning the expenses, the corners of Fei Susha's mouth couldn't help but smile with contempt.

How would those fools know that just before this appointment, His Majesty the Honorable King made one thing clear when he summoned him.

That is, we must take a tough stance, repel the counterattacks of all suzerains, firmly occupy overseas colonies, and use them as a base to continue to expand our sphere of influence outward.

His Majesty also drew his line, and in the Far East, at least to the point of parity with the Spaniards......

Faissa could hear it, his young majesty the king was very strong, and he could bear to lose to the Dutch, and he could bear to lose to the English, but he couldn't lose to the Spaniards.

As a reward, His Majesty made a special revelation that his Cabinet was working on a bill which would soon gradually return to the Governor the power of the colonies.

Well, Fesusa understood, deterring the Chinese and excluding the Spaniards was his glorious mission as the new governor!

……

Where did those people next door know that this battle with the Chinese had long been destined!

This battle will be the battle of his prestige!

In less than two hours, the sky will be dawn, and at that time, the earth-shattering sound of artillery will be heard from the sea outside the port of Nanwan.

His assistant de Sousa had already rushed to the docks with the pirate Silva, and at this moment, the five gunboats must have everything ready to fly, right?

At that time, as long as the big iron ship that everyone coveted slowly enters the port, those fools will surely crawl in front of him in horror and fear to be loyal, right?

All the loot, there will be no share of them!

Especially the big iron ship that could walk without sails, how could they be allowed to take it, it would be the best gift he could give to his beloved majesty!

What is really left for those fools is to pay out of their own pockets and show loyalty to buy peace.

That's what he wants!

Not only did he have to obey His Majesty's will and resolutely prevent the Chinese from getting involved, but more importantly, he wanted to redistribute the share of interests in the most important trading post in the Far East.

After this war, those greedy and cunning Spaniards not only wanted to make them bleed once, but also slapped them in the face with a hard blow.

They must be told whose territory the horses are!

Defy? Then go back to your Manila!

……

"Bang! Boom! Boom! …… Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

A burst of gunfire erupted.

"De Sousa! What's going on? De Sousa ......"

The Governor, who was immersed in the beautiful vision, jumped up from his wide chair and screamed loudly.

"Your Excellency...... It's a barracks...... Back mountain ......"

The door opened, and a junior guard officer rushed in, looking panicked, and said, "Lord de Sousa, he ......"

"Barracks? What happened...... Quick, take someone to check it out! ”

Fei Susha was stunned, reacted, and hurriedly said.

"Yes, sir!"

The guard officer responded.

"Barracks? Don't...... Damn the Chinese guys knocking on the door? ”

Faisa's face turned pale, and she walked quickly to the back window, pushed open the window and listened quietly to the gunshots.

The sound of gunfire did come from the mountain behind the barracks, and in that direction, wasn't it the officer building that had just been delivered?

However, listening to the gunshots, it is not dense, not like there are many people firing.

Moreover, the sound of gunfire was familiar to him, the sound of the latest flintlock pistol.

Fei Susha's heart tightened and settled down slightly.

"Could it be that that guy in Mendoza can't obey the crowd and is fighting with his subordinates?"

Suspicious, Fesusa left the window and paced with her hands in her hands.

De Sousa was a loyal military attache of the guard, and during the day, when he asked him to send men to capture the Chinese, he transferred nearly 200 soldiers from two squadrons from the barracks next door.

The soldiers of these two squadrons, all of whom he brought this time, are absolutely reliable in loyalty, and the muskets they are equipped with are also the latest style, both in range and accuracy, they are much better than the previous batch.

However, the more than 300 people who remained in the barracks were all veterans left behind by the previous governor.

De Sousa's move also aroused the displeasure of Colonel Eric Mendoza, and shortly after dinner, he came to complain, accusing de Sousa of patronizing meritorious service and ignoring the balance within the barracks.

Colonel Mendoza is also a cronie brought by him on this trip, this is an old and qualified aristocratic officer, in terms of age, a few years older than him, although his usual attitude is a little arrogant and undisciplined, but he definitely has a set of leading troops to fight.

He had given the colonel his entire infantry garrison, but lately he had been agonizing over the integration of old and new soldiers.

Due to the slight differences in equipment, treatment, and the source of soldiers, the veterans have been complaining, and there have been several fights and brawls between the two groups of soldiers......

"If you really provoke a mutiny, it will be troublesome......"

Fesusa frowned, and spun back and forth irritably.

Thanks: "Sky Missing", "Red and Red Trance" rewards!

Thank you all for your referral votes! Thank you!
