The boundless darkness of the city of Santo Domingo covered up the sins of the city, and the strong smell of blood filled the air.

The Ming army sent the corpses of the Spaniards to the transport ship in the port in a trolley, and the transport ship left the dock overnight, went to the open sea, and threw the scarred corpse into the sea, which is estimated to have become a shark's delicacy.

Zheng Zhilong spent the night on the ship, and Zheng Xing also set up camp outside the city of Santo Domingue early, and only Jin Hui spent a night full of sins in the city.

The fleet stopped at the port of Santo Domingo for two days, and on the morning of the third day, it began to sail northeast along the coastline of Taiwan, and after crossing the northernmost corner, it marched southeast again, and Zheng Xing's marines followed it to the city of San Salvador to the east.

Zheng Xing felt that it was a pity that Gelman had died, and if Gelman was still alive, he could have allowed Coleman to recruit the Spaniards in San Salvador.

Zheng Zhilong doesn't see it that way, in the thirty-first year of Wanli (1603 AD), Spain innocently slaughtered tens of thousands of Han people in the Southern Ryukyu Islands, and he was not ready to accept the surrender of the Spaniards.

The more than 20 Spanish soldiers who surrendered at the port of Santo Domingo needed to get some Spanish information from them for the time being, otherwise, they would have been slaughtered by Zheng Zhilong long ago.

Towards noon, the Marines first came to San Salvador, and soon the fleet also came to the port outside the city.

Although the city of San Salvador was founded earlier than the city of Santo Domingo, it belongs to the east coast of Taiwan in terms of location, far away from the trade routes of the west coast of Taiwan, so neither the area of the castle nor the nearby population is comparable to the city of Santo Domingo, and there are no ships in the port, only a few merchant ships full of goods are temporarily berthed, I don't know whether to prepare to unload or prepare to sail.

However, the result was the same, the first thing the South China Sea Fleet did when it came to the port was to capture these several fully loaded merchant ships.

The Spanish merchant soldiers outside the city saw a large number of unknown troops, and they fled into the city of San Salvador, and even the Han Chinese and natives who worked outside the city followed the Spanish and poured into the city.

Zheng Xinglai was a step too late, and did not catch up with these people who entered the city, so he had to surround the city of San Salvador. ■dǐng■diǎn■小■Say,.2※3.≈os_();

This time, Zheng Zhilong will personally command the siege.

In this period of naval warfare, except for the first time with the Dutch for a long time, the South China Sea Fleet never found a weighty opponent, Zheng Zhilong was very unhappy, the commander of the South China Sea Fleet of the Ming Dynasty, who was born as a pirate and came from the rain of bullets, sighed for the first time, the fleet was too powerful, so that he lost the pleasure of killing the enemy in person, and it was indeed not human to seek defeat alone.

However, Zheng Zhilong soon discovered that unpleasant things followed.

In the face of a large number of Ming troops besieging the city, the prefect of San Salvador, Alcarazo, had already wrinkled into a bow, he didn't know the Ming army's sun and moon military flag, and he really couldn't guess which way this was a god.

But the number of people besieging the city was too large, and Alcarazo began to think that this was the natives of which part, and he sent a force of fifty soldiers out of the west gate to inquire and respond.

The Ming army gave way to a wide passage that led the Spanish soldiers away from the city gates.

When the Spanish soldiers entered the range of the flintlock pistol, before they began to ask, the Ming army began to shoot, a wave of shooting was not finished, the Spanish soldiers had fallen more than 40 people, the remaining six or seven soldiers saw that the momentum was not right, and hurriedly ran back, but the defenders at the head of the city were worried that the Ming army would take the opportunity to attack and occupy the city, so they closed the city gate and let these Spanish soldiers fend for themselves.

The Ming army chased to the city and shot these fish who slipped through the net.

Zheng Zhilong felt strange: "These Spanish soldiers obviously have fire # guns in their hands, why didn't they fire a few shots?" Are they scared silly? ”

"Commander, maybe their fire # guns don't have enough range."

"Ao," Zheng Zhilong diǎndiǎn head, "it should be this reason, otherwise, when they had fifty people just now, they didn't shoot." ”

The Ming army drew their swords and began to harvest the wounded Spanish soldiers as if no one was around.

"The devil, what a devil, even the wounded soldiers are killed." Alcaraso was at the head of the city, and he couldn't do anything but insult, but the more he insulted, the more frightened the soldiers around him became, and everyone knew that if there was a way to defeat the army outside the city, Alcaraso would definitely use fire # guns instead of mouths to insult.

"Escort a few captured Spanish soldiers and let them shout to the head of the city, if the Spaniards in the city do not surrender immediately, we will definitely slaughter the city after we break it." Zheng Zhilong did not believe that Alcaraso would surrender after losing fifty soldiers just now, and if Alcaraso refused to surrender, then the Ming army would attack the city with artillery, and once the city was broken, he would fulfill his promise.

Several Spanish soldiers were escorted over by the Ming army, and under the supervision of interpreters, they began to shout to the city.

Zheng Zhilong didn't know what they were shouting to the city, he was just putting on a show, once the city refused to surrender, he began to attack the city, and after breaking the city, he could avenge the Han people in the Southern Ryukyu Islands.

"Commander, a white flag has been erected over the city."

Zheng Zhilong was thinking about how many cannons he wanted to transport, and suddenly a voice sounded in his ears that he didn't want to hear, he turned his head to look at the city, and a huge white flag was really raised on the city, as if it had been prepared a long time ago, otherwise, for a while, such a large piece of white cloth could be found there?

"White flags? Are the Spaniards really going to surrender? ”

"Commander, since it's a white flag, they should be ready to surrender."

Zheng Zhilong still couldn't believe his eyes, how long has it been, and the Ming army has not yet begun to attack the city, "What did those Spanish prisoners of war say to the city just now?" ”

"The Spanish prisoners of war said that they were soldiers in the port of Santo Domingo, and because they surrendered to the Ming army, they were able to save their lives, and the soldiers in the city of Santo Domingo, because they refused to surrender, the Ming army broke the city and killed them all."

"No wonder......," Zheng Zhilong regretted, "These Spaniards, who are greedy for life and afraid of death, should not have allowed the prisoners of war to surrender a long time ago." ”

"Commander......

"Sue the prisoners of war, let them continue to shout to the city, and let Alcarazo immediately go out of the city and surrender." Zheng Zhilong was so angry that he slammed his command knife on the ground.

"Yes, Commander."

The herald soon returned, "Commander, Alkaso asked the prisoners of war to pass the word, and he asked the commander to ensure their safety before he was willing to go out of the city and surrender." ”

"Guaranteed?" Zheng Zhilong snorted, he faintly had a hint of expectation, it was best for Alcaraso to refuse to surrender, "What will he take to negotiate terms with me, sue him, he is surrendering unconditionally, immediately open the city gate, and all the Spaniards will disarm." ”

"Yes, Commander."

After the herald left, Zheng Zhilong kept staring at the city, and he secretly prayed: If the Buddha blesses, bless Alcaraso and be angry, don't open the city and surrender!

But Zheng Zhilong was disappointed, he was not a devout Buddhist, and the Buddha did not bless him.

Alcaraso seemed to be frightened by the Ming army, and as soon as the Spanish prisoners of war made Zheng Zhilong's toughest and most unreasonable demand, he asked his soldiers to open the west gate.

The Spanish soldiers lined up and went out of the city from the west gate in turn, and when they went out of the city gate, they did not forget to pile up the muskets in their hands and the short knives on their waists in the open space of the west city gate, and even the knives that ate meat and sharpened pencils were still in the pile of knives and guns.

Alcaraso limped after the Spanish soldier, not knowing if his legs were weak or if he was lame.

Zheng Zhilong counted it, and there were only forty-eight people, "No wonder Alcaraso is so well-behaved, so diǎn people, where did the domineering Spanish fleet in the past go?" ”

No one could answer Zheng Zhilong's question.

Alcarazo lowered his head and held his command knife in both hands, ready to hand it to Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong held his head high with his hands behind his back, staring at the empty city not far away, as if he had not noticed this saber symbolizing the supreme power of San Salvador City.

"Commander......" Zheng Xing thought that Zheng Zhilong really didn't see it.

Zheng Zhilong didn't speak, he waved his hand and asked Zheng Xing to pick up the knife.

Zheng Xing took Alcarazo's saber, and then commanded the soldiers to tie up Alcarazo, and the Spanish soldiers who accompanied Alcarazo out of the city were all tied up by the Ming army.

The Ming army escorted the Spanish troops and swaggered into the city through the West Gate.

After entering the city, Zheng Zhilong found that there were still Spaniards in the city, "Why didn't the Spaniards all surrender?" Shoot at these Spaniards who refused to surrender. ”

"Bang, bang, bang."

The soldiers of the Marine Corps did not care who they were, since the commander gave the order, they just had to shoot.

One by one, the Spaniards fell in surprise, and they did not understand until they died, they had already surrendered, why did the Ming army shoot them.

Alcaraso's eyes, which followed the Ming army into the city, were also round, and he protested loudly to Zheng Zhilong: "They are merchants, not soldiers, civilians, how can you slaughter civilians?" ”

Since the massacre of civilians had been known to Alcarazo, Zheng Zhilong decided not to let it spread, and he gave Zheng Xing a look.

Zheng Xing understood, and he raised the flintlock pistol in his hand and pointed it at Alcarazo's forehead.

Alcarazo was shocked, he was still roaring just now, as if he had been hit by a flintlock pistol, and immediately kept silent.

It was too late, he knew what he shouldn't know and said things he shouldn't have said, although he didn't know why he was sentenced to death by Zheng Zhilong.

"Bang."

The bullet from the flintlock pistol hit Alcalázo's eyebrows and pierced into his skull.

A column of blood, like a fountain, shot straight out of Alcarazo's eyebrows, spraying Zheng Xing in front of him.

Zheng Xing wiped the blood from his face with his hand, and he smiled at Alcaraso, who was still standing.

The corners of Alcarazo's mouth twitched, as if he was about to scold for a while, but he was too excited, his eyes suddenly drifted, his body tilted, and he fell into Zheng Xing's sight.

The remaining dozens of Spanish merchants in the city were brought into a spacious room, and Zheng Zhilong personally interrogated them, such as the location of the gold and silver vault, valuable treasures, the situation of the Spanish garrison in Nanyang, etc., but they were just ordinary merchants and did not provide valuable clues.

Zheng Zhilong waved his hand, and the Ming soldiers dragged them to the corner outside the house and slaughtered them one by one.

The Spanish prisoners of war captured in the port of Santo Domingo were of little use, and they were all slaughtered.

Zheng Zhilong still hated: "I just killed hundreds of Spaniards, which is far from tens of thousands, besides, if you kill tens of thousands of Han people, I will pay it back a hundredfold or a thousand times." ”
