Li Shizhen, who was so angry that the Portuguese were trying to extract additional benefits in the negotiations, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he mobilized 3,000 Qing troops to march into Xiangshan to blockade Macao, and at the same time issued an ultimatum to the Portuguese envoys to completely cut off Sino-Portuguese trade. In the face of Li Shizhen's toughness, biquge.info the Portuguese finally retreated, and the Qing and Portuguese sides formally reached the "Guangzhou Charter".

The "Charter" stipulated that the Macao side would provide plywood ships to carry out armed escort when the Qing army returned to Qiongzhou, and that Guangdong Province would reduce the tax on Portuguese ships coming to the province (city) for five years as a reward. In this way, the Portuguese were satisfied with a certain amount of compensation; However, the words borrowed and assisted in the suppression did not appear in the full text of the charter, and in fact the Portuguese warships were hired, which not only saved the face of the Qing court, but also ensured the safety of the southward landing, which was also killing two birds with one stone.

After both sides were happy, it was agreed that they would jointly send troops to Qiongzhou after the second year, and since then the preparations of the Qing court have been basically ready, and a major war has entered a new countdown

When the wolf smoke was burning, Tian Chao, who was the governor of Xibo mud, was holding his trouser legs and personally supporting the plow in the mud. However, the wolf smoke interrupted this idyllic life, and he did not dare to slack off, and immediately commanded the people who were still in a daze, to drive the precious buffalo back to the fort in a hurry.

It is said that it is a house fort, but in fact, it is a residential area with a cement longhouse as a barrier, and even the passage under the four sides only has a simple miscellaneous wood and horse as a gate, and the defense power can only be said to be Liao Sheng. However, the natives who had come in small boats from the river did not seem to be in a hurry to attack, and they wandered around the perimeter of the fort in twos and threes, and some of them searched the fields that had not yet been sown, and picked up a few lost hoes and showed them off loudly.

"It looks like there are more than two thousand." As Tian Chao boarded the lookout post, Jiang Tao, the leader of the second team of the infantry team, swallowed his saliva. "Looks like you want to eat us in one go, but you're fat enough."

"Isn't it wishful thinking that these natives who can't even line up in line want to eat us in their stomachs." The words of Cao Yi, the leader of the third team, drew a burst of echoing laughter. "Dudu, I built yì to take advantage of the fact that the local people are not firmly established, let's copy it from the two loaves and give them a ruthless blow, I don't believe they can survive our three-plate axe."

Tian Chao hadn't replied yet, and Chang Yong, the leader of the first team of the infantry team on the side, shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, killing three thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred, our people are more expensive than these natives, even if it is a bit of a loss to exchange one for three with the natives, it is still reasonable to wait for them to attack, and use birds and cannons to clean them up." ”

"Chang Yong is right, exchange life for life, even if we win once or twice, we won't last long." Tian Chao affirmed Chang Yong's opinion and put forward a principle for future operations. "Remember it in the future, it's inconvenient for us to replenish with few soldiers, so if anyone recklessly destroys and causes too many casualties among his brothers, don't blame the official for removing your duties!"

Jiang Tao nodded impressively, and several other team leaders also expressed their orders one by one, so Tian Chao arranged: "The artillery team only has three two-inch light guns, and there are four openings to enter the fort, so I am not satisfied with everything, so two teams are arranged at each entrance, and the artillery team and the slave army are in the hands of the officer, and there is no objection and they go to arm."

As soon as this side was arranged, the natives over there came in a noisy, and they also talked about the siege from all sides, but they rushed straight towards the nearest entrance to the fort, trying to convince the people with their strength, tearing apart the defense line of the Zheng army in one fell swoop, and also rushed into the house fort to loot and kill.

"The straight lady thief, she killed her without even saying hello, and she was really a group of uncivilized barbarians." The leader of the fourth team, who commanded the defense of the entrance to the Capuas River, spat and shouted orders at the two groups of musketeers lying on the long roof. "Hit me hard when you get close!"

The sound of fried beans soon sounded, and from time to time, some of the natives who rushed forward fell to the ground, but due to the limited number of firearms, more natives still forced the outside of the longhouse. However, the eaves of this kind of longhouse are more than one zhang, and the short natives have no tools to climb, so they cannot climb the roof at all. A few frenzied natives used their weapons to destroy the exterior wall of the longhouse, but the outer wall could not be destroyed lightly by condensing it into blocks of cement, and the natives, who had been busy for a while and could not achieve the desired effect, had to return to the entrance.

At this point, there was already a river of blood at the entrance. I saw two classes of Zheng sergeants lined up in a team of guns stabbing in front of the horses in turn, and the natives who were unable to parry fell to the ground one after another, and the corpses and the natives who were about to become corpses quickly stood up to a foot high, coupled with the accuracy of the fire guns on the roof at a very close range, the casualties of the natives became heavier and heavier, and the screams one after another quickly turned the small entrance into the Shura Hell.

The natives with poor tenacity couldn't bear the torment of death at all, and immediately fled back in a panic, and the battle stopped temporarily, but there were scattered guns, as if it was a farewell horn, which made the natives can't help but speed up their pace.

Nearly 100 corpses could not shake the determination of the native commander at all, and after seeing a commotion in the distance, the bloody heads of several deserters appeared in Tian Chao's clairvoyant mirror: "It seems that this group of monkeys still refuses to give up." ”

As he spoke, the natives surged over like a rising tide, but the surging waves were being blocked by the stubborn stones, and except for a trace of blood-colored waves, they did not break through the blockade of the rocks and capture the opponent's key passes. Of course, this time the natives were obviously much tougher, on the one hand, they violently attacked the obstacles at the entrance regardless of the dead and wounded, and on the other hand, the natives who made a detour to both sides also had fierce battles with the Zheng army at the other two entrances. It is a pity that such a battle can still be described as a one-sided massacre by Zheng Jun. As a result, after leaving several times the previous loss, the tide had to recede again.

"One drum is flourishing, two drums are declining, and three drums are exhausted." Tian Chao ordered. "Tell the artillery team to go to the north gate, and if the monkeys attack again, they will be dealt a hard blow." Speaking of this, Tian Chao ordered again. "In the assembly of the sword and shield squads of each team, go around from the south gate, use the cannon as a signal, and directly send the natives to the rear team, let him remember, the natives are lazy to do, and the official should not live!"

Due to the previous two heavy defeats, the gap between the natives' attacks this time seemed to be much longer than before, and there were obvious signs of prayer before the attack, but the morale was still not as strong as at the beginning, so that the pace of progress was not as brisk as before.

However, on the way of this attack, he was not shot by Zheng's gunners, and even when he was about to reach the north entrance of the fort, no one fell on the way to charge. The ecstatic natives suddenly became as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Closer, closer, the natives cheered and moved away from the blocking horses, but the brigade had just tried to pour in, but the first ones found themselves in front of them with three black holes, and what made them even more terrified was that the flickering primer on the fire door of the cannon body indicated that it was the final moment of end.

Almost at the same time, three two-inch cannons erupted into a huge wave of sound, and at the same time, dozens of shotguns were sprayed out of the muzzles, and the huge kinetic energy pushed these cannons to continue to cause terrible damage in the crowd with impunity after penetrating the bodies of the forefront.

The sound of the cannon was the sound of the starting gun, and the firecrackers, who had just disappeared, reappeared, and at the sound of the order, the firecrackers fired a salvo of firearms with a result not inferior to that of the shotguns—in an instant, rows of natives were hoeed to the ground. This shocking effect broke the natives' backbones at once, and they dropped their weapons and fled backwards in despair, dozens of sword and shield men rushing out of their backs chasing and slashing, making the retreating formation even more chaotic.

But this was not the most deadly, the six squads of Zheng swords and shieldmen who had already detoured to their positions took advantage of the cover of the ditch dug before to kill the natives from unexpected places, and hit the natives' death pits at once. Looking at the commander who had been cut to the ground, the natives completely lost the will to continue fighting, and they all spread their legs and ran towards the river beach, trying to get on the boat they had come up in and get away from this terrible place.

Following Tian Chao's order not to take prisoners, a group of Zheng soldiers cut melons and chop vegetables to cover up the past, and the natives who had not had time to board the boat jumped directly into the river and crossed the river in a panic in order to escape the robbery of Zheng Jun. Zheng Jun did not pursue them, but just slashed all the way along the river beach, and even the natives who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy were cut off by the murderous Zheng Jun

"Governor, great victory." The prison officer counted the results of the battle, and then reported to Tian Chao and the others with joy. "There are more than 600 corpses of natives that can be examined alone, and it is impossible to count the number of people who drowned in the Capuas River, but there are 100 at least." Nearly one-third of the casualties were almost annihilated. "In addition, more than a dozen natives were captured, nearly 500 knives and guns, and nearly 30 stones of grain that the natives did not have time to take away."

"Knives and guns? Thirty stone grain? Tian Chao shook his head disappreciatively. What about us? How many casualties did we have? ”

"Back to the capital, there are only a dozen minor injuries, the most serious is that they were slashed by the resisting natives, the military doctor has already seen it, as long as you take medicine and cultivate for a period of time, you can get better."

Tian Chao's complexion slowed down: "That's good." ”

Speaking of this, Tian Chao gritted his teeth and ordered: "Let the following interrogate this group of natives, see which one of the bear-hearted leopards dares to come and deal with us, after asking, prepare the other party, come and not be rude, you have to let the natives know, we will repay it!" ”

"My lord, this is not in line with the decision of the previous military conference to stand first, isn't it a slowdown."

"Lord Zhuge don't understand." Tian Chao's eyes showed a fierce light. "These natives just don't clean up, as long as we are ruthless, we can let the other sultans weigh the consequences of their actions"
