Chapter 102: Backfired
On October 7, 1888, at about 3 p.m., Gao Sen returned to the Governor's Palace in Macao, and at the same time sent orders to five detachments to lead the army, escort important people, and move closer to the Governor's Palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When the five lieutenant colonels received the news, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time quickly carried out the orders of the governor.
The five quickly selected some people who had enough influence in Macao from among the thousands of people, and escorted these people to the governor's palace together.
Most of the people of Macau are now in tears and very sad, and they don't know why this is happening.
For decades, Macau has been calm, why did the king of Zhennan come to intervene and interrupt the order of their lives and disrupt the rhythm of their lives.
Many people began to complain that although they were temporarily out of danger, they had people they cared about more, but they were taken away by the army of the Doge's Palace. What can they do?
What can they do except complain about Li Zhongju in their hearts, or rather, they are used to being enslaved, and they are already a group of people who have lost their blood.
However, as long as there is one thing that can touch the depths of their hearts, they will definitely come to their senses, and they are still the bravest Chinese people.
Gao Sen looked at the five lieutenant colonel officers in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time sighed in his heart, if it weren't for the situation, Gao Sen wouldn't want to leave Macau.
After all, in Macau, Gao Sen is like a local emperor, high up, no need to look at anyone's face to act, and once he returns to China, his power will drop a lot, far less comfortable than buying Macau.
The five interrupted Takamori's musings, "My lord. ”
Gao Sen waved his hand, "Ben Du knows what you have to say, and I am also unwilling, but what can we do." During today's negotiations, the military appearance and discipline of Li Zhongju's army were all seen by the governor. ”
Gao Sen continued, "Li Zhongju's Zhenwu Army is definitely one of the most top-ranked armies in the world, and even if it encounters a similar number of British Royal Army, the Zhenwu Army will definitely have the strength to fight. ”
"You ask yourself, how far is the gap between our army and the British Royal Army? You should know that. So we have no choice, is the Governor really willing to hand over Macau? No! Ben didn't want to, but we had no choice. ”
All five bowed their heads in disappointment, and at this moment they felt that they were the sinners of their nation, guilty of unpardonable sins.
Gao Sen looked at the mood of the five people very low, and his heart was even more uncomfortable, but he still endured the pain in his heart and said, "You don't have to be sad, compared to the British army, we have done a good job, at least we will not have any casualties, we can all retreat." ”
Although the five of them were unhappy, they also knew that this was the difference in strength between the two sides, and this was something that could not be changed in a short period of time.
It's really ridiculous to say, and at the same time, they don't understand why the Zhina people were so weak before, since Li Zhongju mastered the Liangguang, how can the Zhina people's combat effectiveness increase dozens of times. This is the most incomprehensible to everyone.
Gao Sen then ordered loudly, "The army obeys. ”
The five of them bowed and replied, "Your Excellency, please." ”
Gao Sen said in a deep voice, "Within two days, all the assets of our army and the Governor's Palace must be loaded onto the ship and taken away from the people who are willing to return home. On the third day we sailed home. ”
The five of them immediately said in unison, "It's my lord." ”
Gao Sen watched the five people go out and carry out the order, and he instantly slumped in his chair and howled loudly, his voice was unusually miserable.
No one can understand that Gao Sen's current mood, he is too aggrieved, he feels extremely unhappy, and he can't say that he is a deserter and a coward.
Gao Sen is actually great, in order to prevent the soldiers from dying in vain, he chose to negotiate the withdrawal of troops. But how many people can understand the bitter history of this?
At this time, Li Zhongju had already led the army into the city of Macau, and there was no scene of empty alleys like the soldiers imagined.
Few Macao citizens came to greet the army, and many citizens had already come far away when they saw the Zhenwu army, which was too far away from Hong Kong.
All the soldiers were devastated, they were a little uncomfortable for a while, everyone suddenly seemed to have lost their souls, very lost, but the team was silent and terrible.
Li Zhongju is very calm, he understands that all this stems from the fact that the situation in Macau and Hong Kong is different. Hong Kong was so oppressed by the British that the people of Hong Kong took the initiative to ask for help from all directions, and finally Li Zhongju led a large army to rescue them from the dire situation.
But the citizens of Macau got along well with the Portuguese, and even more, they had married and became a family. Their hatred of the Zhenwu army is also understandable.
Li Zhongju found an excellent place to camp through the battleship system, and Li Zhongju immediately drove the army over, ordered to camp on the spot, and the army began to repair.
Then the army began to set up camp, but the enthusiasm was not high, and it seemed that they were about to turn into zombies. Li Zhongju understood that this was the army that had been hit today.
It was the first time that Zhenwujun had encountered such an unpopular situation among the local residents.
Li Zhongju frowned slightly, looking at the dozen or so regiment commanders and battalion commanders in front of him, but he sighed in his heart, even the officers were like this, how could the soldiers below not be in a heavy mood.
Li Zhongju said lightly, "What's wrong with you today?" Why are they all sad, as if everyone else owes you a lot of money. Can you be more confident, it's just a little thing, is it necessary to be sad? What the hell is going on? ”
A battalion commander stood up and said loudly, "Report to the commander, I am particularly uncomfortable today, in the past, whenever our Zhenwu army went to a place, we would receive a warm welcome from the people there, but today the people of Macao saw us like ghosts, turned around and ran. Everyone looked at it, and they were all very uncomfortable in their hearts, and they all cried in their hearts. ”
Li Zhongju nodded, motioning for others to continue.
Zhou Tiezhu thought for a moment and said, "Commander, the reason why I am in a bad mood today is similar to everyone else, that is, because the people of Macao seem to be unwilling to welcome us. Even they think that it is we who have ruined their peace. Commander, we are kind enough to help them, but people have this attitude, do you think the army can be in a good mood? ”
Song Naruto looked at Zhou Tiezhu and said, then he also stood up and said, "Commander, our Zhenwu Army has always been invincible and invincible, it is an iron army, an elite army among the fearless elite. But today, I have seen many soldiers shaken in their hearts and have a lack of strength because no one welcomes our army. None of us expected that. ……”
Song Naruto was talking eloquently, which made everyone refreshed.
