Chapter 1049: White Flag
Chang Yun's blood was about to boil, he was eager to fight, but thinking of Lord Admiral's order, he could only give up! After all, he also distinguishes the importance of the matter, and it is really stupid to have a bloody battle with the other party here when he has superior forces.
Even if he wins in the end, he will definitely suffer heavy losses, these warships are the work of the Admiral, and when the time comes, the Admiral will be angry and will deal with him severely.
Chang Yun saw that his goal of attracting the other party had been achieved, and immediately ordered the fleet to withdraw and retreat. After the second round of shelling was completed, the flotilla had already begun to move down the river.
The Westerners on the opposite side were a little confused, they had just fired a few shots, and the battle had just begun, why did the other party run away? His first thought was that the other party must have a ghost, if the other party suffered a loss and ran away, it would be fine, and now the other party must have run away without a loss, which is not reasonable at all.
But in any case he must follow east, because this is not on the sea, this is on the river! He only had the next road to choose from in the east of the river.
The Westerners' fleet also began to sail eastward, following the fleet in front of them, and it didn't take long to see a crooked black line at the mouth of the sea.
It was Zhang Zhijie's fleet that blocked the mouth of the sea in a crescent shape, Zhang Zhijie took a telescope to look into the distance, and saw that the two fleets came out of the Pearl River one after another, and couldn't help but be overjoyed after seeing that Chang Yun's fleet had no losses.
Westerners of the dog day, come and meet the fire of labor and management! This is Zhang Zhijie's heart!
Oh God, this is happening?! This is the voice of the Westerners, and when they see the huge fleet of ships on the sea in the distance, their eyes suddenly widen and they are a little lost.
Seeing that huge fleet, the fleet of Westerners immediately stopped, and then the crew members of each ship immediately exploded. In the face of such a large fleet, as long as their fleet approaches, they will be able to take them all away with a wave of fire.
In particular, they have also seen that other people's ships are also cannons, and the combat power of warships with such strength is no weaker than theirs. If there were ten or twenty warships on the other side, they would dare to fight.
Even if they can't beat it, they can run through and escape, but there are hundreds of warships, and they really don't have the courage to rush up, and rushing up is looking for death. If it was at sea, it would be easy to say that if you can't fight, you can escape, but now you are blocked at the mouth of the sea, and you can't advance or retreat, even if you want to, you can't escape.
Chang Yun's fleet went straight to the ranks of sailors, ready to face the Westerners' fleet. Zhang Zhijie ordered all the warships to prepare for battle, and although he also saw the Westerners' fleet stopped, he was not in a hurry. Anyway, the Westerners' fleet was blocked inside, and it was already difficult to fly.
After some commotion in the flotilla of the Westerners on the opposite side, it seemed that a decision had been made, and the white flags were quickly raised on each warship, and the white flags were whirring in the wind.
The Westerners began to move slowly towards the Ming fleet in the distance, Zhang Zhijie had been observing the opponent's Western warship, and soon found the white flag on the opponent's ship! These Westerners have surrendered!
Zhang Zhijie signaled his subordinates to be on guard, not to fire the cannon for the time being, the Westerners' fleet slowly approached, and did not fire the cannon within the range of the artillery, obviously really planning to surrender.
However, Zhang Zhijie immediately ordered the arquebus to prepare. Arquebuses were aimed at the approaching Western fleet. The distance was getting closer, and I could already see the faces of the boat on the other side.
Seeing the dense arquebuses on the Ming ship, these Westerners were completely honest and obediently stopped. Zhang Zhijie immediately commanded the warships to be on guard and surround them, but these Westerners' warships were very honest from beginning to end!
Zhang Zhijie's warship approached the opponent's flagship, and the Westerners on the other side were also on guard with arquebuses one by one. At this time, a tall middle-aged Westerner walked quickly to the side of the boat, and said loudly.
But no one can understand it, and neither can Zhang Zhijie. At this time, a yellow man came out from behind the middle-aged foreigner and said in a loud voice: "This is the captain from the Franco, he wants to see the commander of the Daming fleet!" ”
I even brought a translator with me! Zhang Zhijie separated his subordinates who were blocking in front of him, and said loudly: "Tell them, put down your weapons, otherwise you will be killed!" ”
The translator on the other side began to babble to the middle-aged foreigner, and the Westerner began to talk again after listening.
After listening to this, the interpreter said in a loud voice: "This is an envoy from the Western Franc Kingdom who came to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty on the orders of the king, and should not be treated rudely!" ”
If ordinary officials are really bluffed, after all, envoys are involved in diplomatic relations, and ordinary officials really don't dare to make decisions without authorization, and they have to report to the imperial court.
But will Zhang Zhijie care about this? ran to the territory of Daming to burn and loot, and now that he is invincible, he is pretending to be an envoy, why did he go earlier? ! Zhang Zhijie said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, quickly put down your weapons." If you don't lay down your weapon within a dozen numbers, kill immediately! ”
The translator was also stunned when he heard it, how could this not be played according to common sense, and quickly translated it to the middle-aged foreigner.
Zhang Zhijie saw that he had translated it to the middle-aged foreigner, and immediately said to Feng Haisheng: "Count, count to ten, if you don't put down your weapon and fire immediately!" ”
Feng Haisheng was also shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect Lord Admiral to come! But when I thought of the identity of Lord Admiral, I was relieved, just killing some foreigners, how could the emperor care! I have to say, it's a pleasure to follow the Admiral!
Feng Haisheng immediately shouted loudly: "Ten, nine, eight。。。。。。 ”
As soon as the translator on the opposite side finished translating, he heard that the Ming officers and soldiers on the opposite side had really counted, and he was immediately anxious, it was so clean and neat, it was impossible to talk and play!
The interpreter didn't care about anything else, and said in a hurry, and the foreigner's face changed greatly after hearing this, and finally he compromised, and gave a few loud commands, and all the foreigners on the warship quickly put down their arquebuses.
Zhang Zhijie couldn't help laughing when he saw this, this is right, to be a prisoner should be a prisoner, and he is still pretending to be an envoy!
Zhang Zhijie ordered: "Go up and search, and confiscate all the weapons!" Hearing this, Feng Haisheng personally led people to board the opponent's warship and began to collect weapons.
Although these Westerners were very reluctant, they did not resist from beginning to end, after all, there were still dense arquebuses pointed at them!
The flagship of the Western fleet was the first to be searched, and the rest of the warships also laid down their weapons and obediently accepted the search! Although they went all the way and did not suffer any losses after coming to the East, they still surrendered obediently under the disparity in strength.
