At sunset, the Hope began to reload with ammunition, and the muzzle of the gun was slowly aimed at the city of Pontianak under the adjustment of the crew. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Although Zhang Xiao didn't want to bombard this city with Chinese charm, he only bombed the turret, which didn't seem to let Lan Fangguo see the muscles of Da Ming clearly, so he had to give them some eye medicine.

"Let's blow up that City Lord's Mansion!" , Zhang Xiao held the telescope and pointed to the northeast.

I saw that it was a mansion with the characteristics of the Chinese and Chinese yamen, and in front of the door, there were two stone lions. It looks majestic. Wang Chunfeng told Zhang Xiao that it was the city lord's mansion in Pontianak. It seems that no matter where you go, the national characteristics of Chinese people who like to put on music and save face cannot be changed.

I have to say that the founders of Lan Fangguo are still very wise! They knew that Pontianak was too close to the sea and its safety was not guaranteed, so they did not choose it as the capital. Otherwise, the entire capital of Lanfang Kingdom would be exposed to the artillery fire of the Ming Kingdom.

Of course, they didn't expect Daming to have such a long-range artillery. So before those turrets could be warmed up, they were bombarded into slag by the Ming Dynasty. And now, the City Lord's Mansion will also follow in the footsteps of the turret, reduced to ruins.

After taking the binoculars, Charlie took a closer look at the City Lord's Mansion, and then asked the gunners to adjust the angle, and when the time came, they bombarded the mansion.

During this period, Zhang Xiao's mood was also very complicated. He very much hoped that the power holders in Pontianak would get acquainted and send someone to negotiate with the Ming Kingdom. After all, the shell has no eyes, and it is very likely that it will accidentally blow up and injure ordinary people.

But until the clock was fixed at six o'clock, the dock was still empty. Seeing this, Zhang Xiao sighed and said helplessly: "Let's shoot!" ”。

When Charlie heard this, his face was also solemn, and he waved the flag in his hand violently.

Hearing a boom, the cannonball dragged the flaming long tail and shot quickly towards the City Lord's Mansion.

A few seconds later, there was a continuous booming bang, a large cloud of smoke and dust rose into the air, and the dazzling firelight overshadowed the sunset on the horizon!

From a distance, you can see orange fires flashing from time to time in the dense dust.

It wasn't until twelve cannons rang out that Zhang Xiao asked the gunners to stop firing.

After all, it is just a lesson to the power grabbers of Pontianak, and there is no need for such a fierce shelling. Moreover, the shells on the ship are also limited, and they still have a lot of trips to go in the future, and they will not return to Daming in a short time, so they will not be replenished.

So if you can save, you can save!

And looking at the effect, it's not bad!

Zhang Xiao looked through the binoculars and saw that the previously majestic City Lord's Mansion had become a ruin. Only the two stone lions in front of the door, fortunately escaped the shelling and stood alone in place. But there are still traces of smoke left on his body.

Seeing this, the corners of Zhang Xiao's mouth curved slightly, revealing a little satisfaction.

But soon, his face sank.

Because in the streets and alleys of Pontianak, there are a large number of people fleeing. They carried large bags and small bags, dragging their families with them, like canned sardines, densely packed, crowding the entire Pontianak City. And their faces still had lingering horror, obviously frightened by the Ming fire.

"Are all the officials of Lan Fangguo dead? The city is in chaos like this, and no one is sent to maintain order! Zhang Xiao scolded angrily. Because in the crowd, he saw a lost little girl, who was standing in place, watching the rush of people fleeing, and shouting for her mother.

This scene is very similar to the scene of the Japanese invasion of China and the people fleeing.

The people present listened and slandered. The City Lord's Mansion has been blown up, aren't all the officials of Lan Fangguo dead? Even if he narrowly escapes his life, he will definitely not dare to stay in Pontianak City. Otherwise, who can stand it with their heads tied to their belts all the time?

But everyone just thinks about it this way, and no one dares to say it. After all, they know Zhang Xiao's temper! When you are angry, no one will give face! Just like before, a Dutch crew member didn't listen to Charlie, and was caught and shot by Zhang Xiao.

At that time, even Charlie interceded for the crew, but was scolded by Zhang Xiao.

So everyone understood, when he was angry, don't mess with him! Just like now!

Everyone listened to Zhang Xiao scolding Lan Fangguo's officials for being incompetent, and they all made a look like they had nothing to do with themselves and hung high! It really has nothing to do with them anyway!

Although Zhang Xiao also understood that the people fled because of the Ming artillery fire. But in his heart, of course, he can't blame Da Ming.

After all, he is the official representative of the Ming Dynasty, and the cannonballs were also ordered by him!

And at the beginning, he also came with the friendliness and goodwill of Daming! It's just that Lan Fangguo didn't know what to do, so he sent pirates to attack them.

Although the result was the total annihilation of the pirates, Da Ming only wasted a few shells. Other than that, nothing else.

However, the fact that Lan Fangguo made the first move is undeniable!

Therefore, all the faults are Lan Fangguo's unilateral faults, and they can only be blamed for their own faults!

And Zhang Xiao believes that in the face of absolute strength, the people of Lan Fangguo can only choose to believe the words of the Ming Dynasty, and instead complain about the weak - the stupid and stupid high-level Lan Fangguo.

Because in this era of natural selection and the law of the jungle, the weak will only be swept into the garbage heap of history without any sympathy.

While he was thinking about this, a group of hundreds of people suddenly turned away from the flow of people and rushed towards the docks.

I saw that there were men and women, old and young. At the forefront, there are several men with large pigtails and uniform clothes.

Judging from their clothing, they are obviously extravagant, and they are obviously the officials of Lan Fangguo!

And among these people, Zhang Xiao also found Wang Chunfeng's figure.

It seems that the people of Lan Fangguo really don't cry when they don't see the coffin! You have to experience the Ming Dynasty's artillery fire before you are willing to bow your head obediently.

"Hey! If they had sent someone to negotiate earlier, the people would not have panicked. Zhang Xiao said compassionately. That tone, that expression, looked very painful.

The people present moved the corners of their mouths, and suddenly they didn't know what to say! They didn't expect that this good-tempered Minister Zhang would still have such a thick skin.

Li Hai reacted quickly and immediately persuaded: "Minister Zhang doesn't have to worry too much, when this becomes the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the future, such a distressing scene will never happen again." ”。

"It is worthy of the people who have been around the president, and this reaction is always faster than others!" , others secretly slandered.

Doctor Li Chenggong was not far behind, and immediately expressed his loyalty and said loudly: "Lieutenant Li is right! Only when they become Ming people can they truly live a life free from humiliation. ”。

Now, who can be left behind?!

So starting from Charlie, one by one put on a posture of worrying about the country and the people. Pointing at Pontianak City, where the smoke of gunpowder has not yet dissipated in the distance.

In the end, Lan Fangguo was approved for nothing! It seems that the Chinese living here are experiencing unimaginable suffering. If Da Ming doesn't rescue them, it will be intolerable.

Even the cannon that has just been fired is likened to the first thunder of civilization! The castle lord's mansion, which was bombed into ruins, is a symbol of backwardness and decay.

All right! These words were originally used by the Ming Dynasty to deal with the Qing State. Now, early in handy.

Listening to it, Zhang Xiao himself felt that the cowhide was blowing bigger and bigger, so he asked everyone to stop talking.

But everyone has been blown into their own cowhides, and their expressions are so excited that they can't stop at all.

It wasn't until Wang Chunfeng rowed a kayak and carried more than a dozen people on the Hope that everyone returned to reality.
