In the square in front of the Portuguese Royal Palace, the little Duke Cromwell hid behind João IV in panic, looking at the approaching enemy troops, and his hand holding the gun couldn't help but tremble.

He couldn't help but put his handcuff on João IV's back, and said in a trembling voice: "Hurry up and let them go!" ”

At this time, Zhang Bin had already led his guards to the edge of the square, less than two hundred steps away from the British army, he looked at the arquebuses equipped by the British army and the sparse formation, and couldn't help but show a contemptuous smile on his face.

At this point, the British army, it is estimated that the three-wheel platoon gun can be overturned, and it will take time for the arquebus in their hands to ignite the fuse, if the two sides fight, it is estimated that they have no chance to ignite the fuse, not to mention that his personal guards are all wearing soft armor, and he and all the generals are also wearing armor, so he is not afraid of this arquebus at all, so he did not order the personal guards to stop advancing, but let them step into the square with neat steps.

At this time, someone on the other side finally shouted, but it seemed to be Portuguese, and he couldn't understand it at all!

He looked at Zheng Chenggong not far away, and wanted to ask this kid to come over and translate, but at this time, the distance between the two sides was almost close to one hundred and fifty steps, and the lethality of the flintlock pistol at this distance was just exerted, and the arquebus could basically only scratch people, so he simply raised his hand and said loudly: "Stop advancing!" ”

With a "snap", all the guards stopped at the same time.

Cromwell Jr. was so frightened by this situation that his hands shook so much that his handcuffs almost didn't fall to the ground, and he threatened a little hysterically: "Hurry up and let them go!" ”

Joao IV is so depressed, just now he shouted, people don't talk at all.

Don't these people know Portuguese?

At this time, the biggest characteristic of the European aristocracy is that they know many languages, because the royal family and the royal family are too frequent, and many people have the right to inherit from different countries, so they must be proficient in the language of the relevant country, otherwise, this inheritance may be lost, like Joao IV is proficient in Portuguese, Spanish, French and English.

However, at first glance, these people do not look like Europeans, but like the legendary Far Easterners, and he can't decide whether they are from the Ming Empire, because these people are not accompanied by their Portuguese officials.

What to do?

He thought for a moment and tried to ask in English, "Who are you?" ”

Zhang Bin finally understood this, he pretended to be arrogant, and asked in English coolly: "Who are you?" ”

João IV replied hopefully: "I am the King of Portugal. ”

It turned out that this guy was the king of Portugal, Zhang Bin turned his face and yelled: "Order your people, put down your guns, surrender, otherwise, die!" ”

Oh buy cakes, who the hell are these?

Obviously, this guy misunderstood, and he probably thought that these British soldiers were his men.

João IV looked back at little Cromwell with a panicked face, and asked softly: "What should I do, they are not the reinforcements we invited!" ”

Little Cromwell glanced at him suspiciously, and then said loudly to Zhang Bin: "Who are you?" ”

Zhang Bin said impatiently: "Who are you?" ”

Little Cromwell said arrogantly: "I am the son of Cromwell, the Lord Protector of the United Kingdom. ”

Boy, it's you who got it, Zhang Bin turned his face and said sharply: "I don't care what country you are, now, Lisbon, is occupied by me, you immediately put down your guns and surrender, otherwise, die!" ”

"You!" Little Cromwell was so angry that he couldn't speak, the other party was not afraid of the king of Portugal, and he didn't even pay attention to himself, the son of the protector!

What are you, Zhang Bin yelled: "Raise your gun and prepare for a three-stage platoon shot." ”

With a "bang", the guards in the front row squatted down violently, and the guards in the second row also half-squatted down, including the guards in the third row, more than 2,000 people, and at the same time raised the flintlock pistol in their hands and pointed straight ahead.

Zhang Bin yelled again in English: "One last question, do you surrender or not?" ”

Little Cromwell was dumbfounded, what kind of people are these people, so fierce, they will start fighting if they don't agree with each other!

He looked at his camp, and then at João IV, who was also terrified, and didn't know what to do.

Seeing this, Zhang Bin raised his right hand without hesitation and shouted in English: "Ready." ”

Oh buy cakes, if you don't surrender again, people really shoot, little Cromwell hurriedly raised his hand and shouted: "Don't shoot, don't shoot, we surrender." ”

Zhang Bin snorted coldly, and then said sharply: "Put down your weapons!" ”

Now there was no need for little Cromwell to command, everyone threw their weapons away, as if the weapons in their hands were hot.

Zhang Bin glanced around coldly, and then said loudly: "Zhang Cha, bring someone up to tie them up, and bring the King of Portugal and Cromwell Jr. over." ”

When Zhang Cha heard this, he immediately waved his hand and rushed forward with thousands of people in the front row to tie up all the British soldiers, and then escorted João IV and Cromwell Jr. to Zhang Bin.

Zhang Bin didn't pay attention to them, but raised his hand and pointed to the palace and said, "Success, take two thousand people in and clean up inside." ”

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he waved his hand directly, and went straight to the palace with the two thousand guards behind him.

Zhang Bin saw that the British soldiers were almost tied, so he turned around and said to Zhang Cha: "Hurry up, untie His Majesty the King." ”

Immediately afterwards, he waved to one of the guards: "Go, call Shivera and them over." ”

Before Joao IV could understand what was going on, Cromwell Jr. shouted: "Hurry up and let me go!" ”

Zhang Bin ignored him at all, turned over and dismounted, came to Joao IV, stroked his chest and saluted: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I offended just now." ”

Seeing this, João IV couldn't help but be dumbfounded and said, "Are you?" ”

Zhang Bin smiled and said, "I am Zhang Bin, the Patriotic Duke of the Ming Empire. ”

The Ming Empire Weiguogong!

Joao IV finally understood, and he hurriedly stroked his chest and saluted: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Duke." ”

Zhang Bin returned the salute and said with a smile: "Your Majesty the King is polite, the situation was urgent just now, I had to pretend not to know you, and I ask His Majesty the King to forgive me for the offense." ”

Joao IV hurriedly shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's okay, His Royal Highness the Duke is so well disguised, I was taken aback." ”

They communicated in English, and little Cromwell naturally understood it clearly, and he now knew that he had been fooled, and these people were the reinforcements invited by Portugal!

He was so angry that he said nonsense: "You all wait, my father will not let you go." ”

Zhang Bin explained to Joao IV, and finally had time to take care of this kid, he walked up to little Cromwell, patted the kid on the cheek and mocked: "Little friend, your father is not as stupid as you, do you know? There are more than 500,000 elites like my Ming Empire, and more than 3 million reserves like the ones you brought, unless your father doesn't want to live, otherwise, he won't dare to trouble me. ”

When little Cromwell heard this, he glanced around in horror at the elite of the pro-guard battalion and the Fuguang army, and finally became honest and shut up.

There are more than 500,000 such elites and more than 3 million reserves, what kind of concept is that, all the "reserves" in Britain now add up to less than 100,000!

At this time, Schvera had already rushed to the scene with a group of entourages and Portuguese officials, and when the two sides met, it was naturally lively again, as for the little Duke Cromwell, no one paid attention to him at all, so he could only stand aside and rest.
