A section of the city wall collapsed, even in the thick smoke can be seen very obviously, Governor Sanders, François and Nacolino were all stunned, everyone also looked at Governor Sanders in a daze, or Nacolino was the first to react, he approached Governor Sanders, and whispered: "Lord Governor, the Chinese pigs have blown up a section of the city wall, and they will soon attack, it is no longer safe for you to stay here, let's evacuate quickly." ”

Governor Sanders thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Go, retreat..."After speaking, he turned around and walked under the city wall, took a few steps and stopped suddenly, and said loudly: "The defense force in the east of the city is the weakest, and our defense line is very likely to be overtaken by the enemy, so immediately mobilize troops from other directions." ”

Nacolino hurriedly agreed, and the defenders in the city were mobilized by Lin Fei in this way, and as soon as Nacolino finished arranging the people, the painter walked up to Nacolino with a crying face and asked, "Nacolino staff, can I still use this illustration?" ”

Nacolino frowned and said, "Use it, the people are idiots anyway, and they can't tell the truth from the fake, they will only believe what we make them believe." The artist agreed to collect the painting and plan to use it back.

Governor Sanders walked down the city surrounded by everyone, everyone was walking briskly towards the command post, Governor Sanders suddenly waved his hand and said, "Wait..."

Everyone hurriedly stopped and asked in exclamation, "Your Excellency, what do you think?" ”

Governor Sanders pointed in the direction where the walls had been blown down and said, "Listen, the shelling of the Chinese pigs has stopped. ”

Everyone listened attentively, and there was indeed no cannon fire in the distance, and Governor Sanders said nervously: "The shelling stops, the infantry is about to attack, order the troops, speed up the movement, and at the same time order the engineering team in the city to repair the city wall." ”

Everyone agreed, and Governor Sanders continued to walk towards the command post, and when he returned to the command post, Governor Sanders asked everyone to go out, leaving only Nacolino behind, and said to Nacolino: "The Chinese pigs have begun to attack the city wall, Manila has reached the last moment, and now it's time for that man to make a move." ”

Nacolino's face changed, and he said solemnly: "I'll arrange it immediately." ”

Nacolino went out to arrange for "that man", and the Spanish army began to move nervously, and the engineering team also came to the vicinity of the wall with the tools to repair it.

The scouts on Lin Fei's position saw the movement of the Spaniards at the gap and immediately reported to Zhao Menggang, who had already received Lin Fei's instructions to stop the shelling after blowing up the gap, and wait for the smoke to clear and observe the situation before carrying out a second round of shelling.

The main purpose of the second round of artillery bombardment was to blow up the collapsed city wall, although the city wall fell at this time, but the reinforced concrete blocks were still piled up next to the gap, two or three meters high, although the infantry could also rush up, but the speed was very slow, and it was easy to be killed by enemy fire, so it was necessary to blow up the concrete pile to facilitate the infantry charge.

Just when Zhao Menggang led his subordinates to prepare for the second round of shelling, the Spanish engineering team came, and at this time the ground was full of concrete blocks larger than people, so they couldn't rebuild the city wall at all, so they could only use sandbags to plug the gap.

The scouts immediately reported to Zhao Menggang, who immediately ordered a second round of shelling of the gap, and the shells of the second round of shelling fell right on the head of the engineering team, and several engineers who led the team were killed on the spot, and many people were also blown to the ground.

The Spanish engineering team was killed in large numbers, and the others fled in a panic, not daring to come forward again, and the news was reported to Governor Sanders, who had to order the troops to hold the gap, and the engineering team to suspend construction.

No sooner had Governor Sanders had the order passed on than Nacolino walked in and whispered in his ear, "Your Excellency the Governor, that man has departed. Governor Sanders let out a long breath and whispered, "I can finally come back and win." ”

At this time, it was 11 o'clock in the morning of July 5, Lin Fei was still immersed in the joy of blowing up the enemy's city wall, and he ordered Zhao Menggang to transfer the artillery position and launch an artillery bombardment in other directions to blow up the city wall.

At this moment, an attendant walked in and said to Lin Fei: "Your Majesty, that damn Wang Ruihe is here again..." ”

The attendant replied, "No, he brought ten men, all of them foreign devils, all of them priests, all wrapped in black robes, and with a big cross on their chests. ”

Lin Fei thought to himself, what did Wang Ruihe do when he brought a group of priests to see me? Are they going to convert me to Christianity? It shouldn't be possible, it seems that there is a lot of people hiding Wang Yao in the pastor. Lin Fei said quietly: "Invite Wang Ruihe in first." ”

The attendant turned around and went out, and brought Wang Ruihe in after a short time, Lin Fei looked at Wang Ruihe and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, you can't do it again and again, this is our ancestor's words, why are you here again?" I've said it countless times, and I'm not going to make peace......"

Wang Ruihe smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I came this time to bring you the gospel of the Lord. ”

"The Gospel of the Lord?" Lin Fei smiled helplessly and said, "I didn't expect you to really persuade me to convert to Christianity, I am an atheist and don't believe that there is a god in the world." ”

Wang Ruihe smiled and said, "Please meet our pastor first, okay?" ”

Lin Fei pretended to be reluctant and said, "I didn't want to see it, for the sake of your earnestness, I'll see it." ”

When the attendant heard Lin Fei's words, he asked Wang Ruihe, "You have ten priests, which one do you want Your Majesty to see?" I can't see them all. ”

Wang Ruihe said: "There is a leader outside, you will know when you ask, let's go, I will go with you." ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "Mr. Wang doesn't need to go, just leave this little matter to my attendant." ”

Wang Ruihe shook his head and smiled: "No need, I won't come in anymore when I go out, let him talk to you alone." ”

Lin Fei suddenly felt a little strange, thinking that the person was brought by Wang Ruihe, and I talked to that person about Wang Ruihe but was not present, which seemed to make some sense.

Although Lin Fei thought so, he didn't say much, and watched Wang Ruihe walk out with the attendant, when the attendant brought in a tall man, that man was a head taller than Lin Fei, forty or fifty years old, his golden hair was already gray, and his two sky-blue eyes flashed with pride.

The man stared at Lin Fei and said in fluent Chinese, "Are you the emperor of the Chinese Empire?" ”

Lin Fei didn't avoid the man's gaze, but also stared into his eyes, and said, "Not bad..."

A smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth, he looked back at Lin Fei's two attendants, and said with a smile, "Let them give us some personal space, okay?" ”

Lin Fei had Li Ying's experience, and he didn't ask why, he directly waved his hand to let the two attendants go out, and the man walked a few steps towards Lin Fei, and said with a smile: "I am a special envoy personally appointed by the Governor of Singapore of the British Empire, James Claros, I am here this time to represent the British Empire and contact the Chinese Empire." ”

The word "British Empire" was like a thunderbolt, exploding in Lin Fei's mind, and the British Empire, the world's largest country and the first power in this era, finally came to Lin Fei.

At this time, Britain was known as the empire on which the sun never set, with many colonies, including Australia, India, etc., Singapore was also one of them, because Singapore was relatively close to the Philippines, so the governor of Singapore sent an envoy to talk with Lin Fei on behalf of the British Empire.

Lin Fei had long realized that attacking Manila would be intervened by the British, but he didn't expect the British envoy to appear in front of him in such a way, and he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Claros, since you are the envoy of the Governor of Singapore, why don't you see me justifiably?" Why did you come with a wealthy Chinese businessman? ”

Claros smiled, raised his head, and said arrogantly: "I came like this to save face for His Majesty, aren't you Chinese people the best face?" ”

When Lin Fei heard the word "save face", a trace of displeasure suddenly appeared in his heart, and when he saw Claros's arrogant expression, this displeasure was even stronger.

Lin Fei said coldly, "What do you mean?" What does it mean to save face for me? ”

Claros put away his smile and said solemnly: "I am here to convey the order of the Governor of Singapore......"

"What do you say? Command? What qualifications does the Governor of Singapore have to order me? Could it be that our Chinese Empire is his vassal, and I am his courtier? Lin Fei coldly interrupted Claros's words.

Claros smiled disdainfully and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, 'orders' must be obeyed, and you will definitely obey our British Empire, in this case, does it make sense for me to say the words 'opinion' and 'Jianyì'?" Why don't you just say 'command'? ”

When Claros said these words, he exuded a sense of superiority in his bones, and this sense of superiority made people feel that if he said a word to Lin Fei more, or even looked at Lin Fei more, it was the supreme honor that he gave to Lin Fei.

The displeasure in Lin Fei's heart turned into anger, but there was no trace of waves on his face, Lin Fei said lightly: "Order, order, I'm too lazy to do this kind of meaningless wordplay with others, you say, what is the order of the governor of Singapore?" ”

Claros nodded and said, "The order of the Governor of Singapore is ......" When Claros said this, he specially accentuated the tone of the word "order" to humiliate Lin Fei.
