After six days of bloody fighting, the battle with the Portuguese finally came to an end, and the Huaxia Army, which was not the main fighting party, was forced to join the fighting side at the last moment and became the main force that laid the foundation for the victory.

However, the Huaxia army did not enjoy the fruits of victory, as they eventually defeated the Portuguese and ceded the territory to the Southern Ming Kingdom.

Compared with the casualties of the Huaxia Army, the Southern Ming Kingdom paid 150,000 military and civilian casualties, 56,000 soldiers and civilians were injured, about 300,000 people were homeless, fled to other places, the war was cruel, the war was only destroyed, there was no construction, the home was destroyed, the wife was separated, the family was separated, all the property was lost, and the family business accumulated for half a lifetime was all destroyed in the war, and it had to be started again.

Zhang Qiang walked on the streets of the county seat of the Trench Gate, surrounded by guards, in fact, they didn't need to be so nervous, because the entire county seat of the Trench Gate, including all the people within the surrounding thirty miles, had been cleared out by the Huaxia Army.

No matter how high the status is, whether it is the Ming people, the Qing people, or the Portuguese, the missionaries, or the governor's guards, soldiers, wanderers, all of them were handcuffed and shackled by the Huaxia army, strung with ropes, loaded onto ships like slaves and transported to the other side, on the territory controlled by the Huaxia army, their final destination was Tingzhou Mansion, the headquarters of the punishment army where Lin Yangyang was located.

Where they will be screened, and then, like the prisoners of the Song Dynasty, tattooed on their faces, stay in the camp for the rest of their lives, and work hard for the Huaxia army.

There are many Western buildings in the Trench Gate Realm, but there is an exotic atmosphere, but this is exactly what Zhang Qiang does not want to see, these buildings are all torn down, and then it will not be the matter of the Huaxia Army, this will be the territory of the Southern Ming Kingdom.

"Don't let go of a single screw in these workshops, and take them to Quanzhou Mansion for me." Zhang Qiang pointed to a street of blacksmith shops built by the Portuguese, as well as some gunsmiths, armor shops, and other Western repair shops.

The guards hurriedly recorded it.

When he came to the beach, "Remove all the wood, tools, and all kinds of facilities in these shipyards for me," Zhang Qiang also wanted to leave these things to the Ming army for the Portuguese.

Anyway, the Ming army can't use it, they will only make money and do business.

Ruan Shu ran over with a team of sailors and naval teams, "Meet the Grand Duke." ”

"How's it going at sea?" Zhang Qiang is not very clear about the battle at sea, but he knows that he has won.

"Qiqi Dadu, because most of the enemy sailors have gone to fight on the road, many ships do not have enough sailors to sail, only about thirty-five enemy warships have gone to sea, at present our army has sunk twenty-seven, captured four, two clippers escaped, the remaining two are in pursuit, it is estimated that this evening, at most tomorrow there will be news."

"Who is it that escaped? Did you find out? Zhang Qiang asked with his hands behind his back.

"It has been investigated that it was the British Governor McConger who fled, as well as the Spanish commander, a captain, the remains of the other Spanish governors, the wounded Dutch governor, and the Portuguese governor Schroeder, all of whom were captured and are currently being held in the Portuguese castle."

"Escort them away today, that castle has been operated by the Portuguese for hundreds of years, who knows what kind of secret passage there is, it is not safe, send someone to use our big car, a large car dedicated to escorting prisoners to Tingzhou Mansion, no, directly escort it to Jinhua Mansion Prison for detention."

"What about the seizure?" Zhang Qiang is most concerned about the harvest, he can't fight in vain, so many soldiers of the Huaxia Army have died, even his guard regiment is because of his carelessness, his pride, thinking that he can easily defeat the enemy and lose more than half, how can he not charge some interest?

Ruan said: "Qi Yu Dadu, on land, the last general does not know, on the sea, there are also castles and fortresses by the sea, the seizure is quite rich, Rong Mo will report in detail to the Grand Duke." ”

"Well, this is not a place for retribution, let's go to the castle of the Portuguese." Zhang Qiang was the first to walk towards the castle that the Portuguese had been operating here for hundreds of years.

In the distance, I can see where a western Lingbao built on the mountainside is entrenched, which is very majestic.

The corner of the fort had collapsed, and it seemed that the navy had used at least twenty-four pounds of artillery to pry open the enemy's tortoise shell.

Lingbao is about three miles long, two miles wide, arranged in a rectangle, except for a road where two carriages run in parallel, the other places are strange rocks, very steep, the road is about three miles long, on the main road of each mountain pass, there are fortifications, similar to the appearance of a tunbao, to conquer such a fortress, or use people to pile up, pile up to the enemy's door to attack, or use heavy artillery bombardment, one fortress after another.

The sailors used heavy artillery to bombard the enemy, and the Huaxia army no longer disdained such an ancient tactic as using people to pile up.

The ships of the naval division even had such heavy guns as forty-eight pounds, and such a fortress could be cleaned in a few shots.

Walking into the ruined castle, a damp and ancient heavy feeling of mossy boulders came from the pavement, some gloomy, some depressing, Zhang Qiang did not understand such a place, why Westerners always like to live there?

The south is already humid, and living in such a damp castle for a while is afraid that rheumatism will make people miserable.

Westerners' buildings are heavy, grandiose, majestic, and towering.

Entering the castle, walking around the castle, it takes less than ten minutes, there are churches, blacksmith shops, bakeries, ready-to-wear shops, taverns, shops, inns, stables, school yards, arsenals, warehouses, weapons showrooms, squares, council halls, everything, and even a few acres of fields with different rules for people to cultivate, it is simply a small city.

The second floor is the lord's living room, the third floor is the weapons exhibition room, a small banquet hall, and the terrace and balcony can overlook the entire castle from here, the fourth floor of the castle is the arrow tower, the warehouse, the fifth floor is the lookout, and the sixth floor is a large bell, which can be used as a warning to convene a meeting of subjects, or can convey some news, and the sea is used to transmit signals with lights.

From here, you can see the situation of the entire harbor wharf under clear conditions, and even the situation at sea far away, as well as the situation in a radius of more than ten miles inland.

After stopping here for a while, Zhang Qiang sighed, Westerners have developed civilization, but they have never lost their blood, and the belligerent and aggressive character in their bones has continued, and no matter which dynasty in the entire Chinese land, it is always after decades without war, the horse is put into Nanshan, the sword and gun are put into storage, and they begin to enjoy a happy life, and they do not want to forge ahead.

This cannot be said to be a kind of sorrow of the Chinese nation, how many times the Chinese nation was conquered by a foreign race, and then how many times the Chinese nation got up again, and every time it stood up, the Chinese nation always wanted to make their people into a flock of sheep for them to slaughter at any time, entertain at any time, and when the people were miserable, they lost their lives, lost their wealth and dynasty, and then the Chinese nation always had another labor pain, and then reborn nirvana.

Whether this is good or bad, Zhang Qiang can't evaluate.

"Metropolitan Governor, it's windy above, go down, General Ruan Shu is ready to report to you." Zhang Qiang, a member of the pro-guard team, said.
