Li Zhongju looked at the crowd, "The replenishment of the army will arrive tomorrow, please receive it tomorrow." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

"Yes, Commander." Everyone replied excitedly.

After all, in this battle of Hong Kong, the ammunition of the armies is obviously insufficient, so once the battle starts, it will be very unfavorable for the Zhenwu army.

So everyone was very happy to hear that the ammunition would be replenished tomorrow.

Everyone withdrew from the Chinese military camp, and Li Zhongju looked at the direction of Macao, Li Zhongju knew that Macao's current military strength was far inferior to that of Hong Kong, and he hoped that the other party would be interested, and not be bored, if he really did it, it was estimated that the other side would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Sure enough, the next day, Zhang Zhidong sent people to send a large amount of grain, grass and ammunition, and the morale of the Zhenwu army was raised to a higher level for a while.

Li Zhongju looked at the enthusiasm of the army, and his heart was very satisfied, and at the same time, Li Zhongju said to everyone, "Brothers, this is the last battle of our southern expedition, and this king hopes that you will still be the same as before, bravely kill the enemy, and make new contributions." ā€

"Yes, Commander."

The earth-shattering shouts were earth-shattering and resounding through the sky, making people can't help but be afraid after listening to them.

Li Zhongju then ordered the army to march towards Macao. Along the way, the momentum of the Zhenwu Army was like a rainbow, shocking all passers-by, what a good military discipline, what a good weapon and equipment, and countless people were ecstatic.

Since hundreds of years ago, Macao has not completely belonged to us, but so what, since Li Zhongju has decided to take back the sovereignty of Macao, he will definitely take it back, and no one can stop him.

As early as two days ago, the governor of Macao, Gao Sen, sent dozens of scouts to reconnoiter the movements of Li Zhongju's army.

Today, Gao Sen finally got accurate news that Li Zhongju and Zhenwujun really rushed towards Macao, which was a disaster for Macao, but this was unavoidable.

Gao Sen immediately began to pace around the house, thinking about what to do, how to reduce the damage, and finally Gao Sen found that he seemed to have no choice but to choose to leave Macau.

In this case, we can only abandon Macau, a city that has been in business for hundreds of years. Although Gao Sen was very reluctant in his heart, he had to do it.

Gao Sen immediately called a brave general, "You immediately go to the border of Macao, wait for the other party's commander, Li Zhongju, the king of Zhennan, and tell him that the governor must negotiate terms with him, otherwise the governor will kill all the citizens of Macao." ā€

The general was surprised, but he still carried it out meticulously, he didn't need to understand why the governor did this, he just had to strictly follow the governor's orders.

This general immediately led nearly 100 pro-troops towards the border of Macao, and they walked all the way as fast as flying, and in less than an hour, they came to the border of Macao, where they began to wait for the arrival of the other party's army.

Sure enough, Li Zhongju did not let the general wait long.

Another hour later, the Zhenwu army gradually appeared in front of the eyes of the Portuguese general.

The Portuguese general looked at the momentum of the opponent's army, and almost couldn't believe his eyes, no wonder he could defeat the British army, it turned out that the people of China also had a strong army.

At this time, the arrogance of this Portugal is slowly dissipating, until it finally disappears, and Li Zhongju's defeat of the British army will also have a certain impact on the West.

With a neat pace, the Zhenwu army finally came to the Portuguese general, and all the troops looked at the Portuguese general with strange eyes.

I don't know where this general got the courage to dare to bring a hundred people to block the Zhenwu army.

The Portuguese general looked at the other party's contemptuous eyes, but he didn't care much, on the contrary, he smiled and said, "I came here on behalf of Gao Sen, the governor of Macau, and I want to see the king of Zhennan." ā€

The soldiers reported at various levels, and finally Li Zhongju agreed to meet the Portuguese general, which made the Portuguese general excited for a while.

Li Zhongju said with great majesty, "You asked to see this king, what's the matter?" ā€

The Portuguese general immediately replied respectfully, "We, the Governor of Gaosen, want to negotiate with you, Lord Wang, about matters concerning Macao. ā€

Li Zhongju pondered for a while, "Okay, then let your governor come here to negotiate, this king and your governor each bring fifty personal guards." ā€

The Portuguese general finally agreed, and at the same time hurried back to the Governor's Yamen to tell Gao Sen the news.

Gao Sen nodded, "Okay, this governor will arrange it immediately, and we will leave in half an hour." ā€

Gao Sen then mobilized the only 5,000 troops in Macau, and asked them to gather the citizens of Macao to watch and wait for news from him.

After that, Gao Sen led hundreds of people to the border, and he wanted to see what kind of person Li Zhongju, the king of Zhennan of the Great Qing Dynasty, was, who was able to defeat the British army twice.

Li Zhongju got the news that Gao Sen had come to the border, and Li Zhongju took Zhou Tiezhu and fifty pro-troops to the place agreed by both parties.

Gao Sen also headed there with fifty men.

On October 7, 1888, Li Zhongju, the king of Zhennan, and Gao Sen, the governor of Macao, met in Macao to negotiate.

Gao Sen saw a suit of expensive clothes, and Li Zhongju, who had short hair, walked in the front, very imposing, and with Li Zhongju's movement, he could almost drive a small range of air flow.

Gao Sen is a typical tall person, and at the same time the bridge of the nose is also very high, such people are generally more powerful and have real skills.

Li Zhongju looked at Gao Sen and laughed, "This is the first time this king has negotiated with a foreign friend, and you are honored." ā€

Gao Sen was slightly stunned and said, "Where is the prince, the strength and military talent of the prince are obvious to everyone." It is indeed my honor to be able to meet the prince. I also believe that if the prince wants to attack Macau, it will definitely be very easy. ā€

Li Zhongju nodded, "Yes, you are right, if this king attacks Macao with all his might, I believe it will be captured soon." This king also prepared in this way, but today I was told by one of your generals that you want to negotiate with this king, and I don't know what we need to discuss. ā€

Gao Sen Zhengse said, "Lord, our Portuguese troops can withdraw from Macau, but we have three requirements, and I hope the prince can agree." ā€

Gao Sen said solemnly, "First, our property must be taken away, second, we need two million taels of silver as a subsidy, and third, we Portuguese people who are willing to be in Macau, and the prince can't embarrass them." ā€

Li Zhongju pondered for a while and said, "What if this king doesn't agree? ā€

Gao Sen said sharply, "Lord Wang, if you don't agree to these three conditions, I can't explain to the country, if Lord Wang doesn't agree, I will order all the people of Macao to be killed." I believe that the prince will definitely make the right choice, and the dissatisfaction forces me. ā€

Li Zhongju said in a tone that could not be refused, "The first request and the third request are fine, and the second king will never agree." ā€
