Chapter 1140 Sino-Portuguese Secret Treaty
The army and the marines of the Qing Dynasty are two completely different units, not only in terms of tactical training, but also in terms of combat styles, not to mention, the momentum of this kind of charge alone is not comparable to that of the officers and men of the Marine Corps, although the number of sorties is only more than 1,000 people, but they rush up as if they are overwhelming, and before the Portuguese can recover from the wild bombardment of the Qing artillery, the vanguard of the Qing army has already rushed into the dusty church, bayonets flying up and down, and they will soon panicThe remaining Portuguese officers and soldiers were defeated and defeated, and the dead and wounded, and those who were lucky enough to survive were all honestly raised their hands as prisoners, and from the beginning of the war to the victory, it only took less than half an hour to gather the Communist Party, and it was really a clean victory.

"Oh God!"
Although the victorious Qing army was celebrating with joy, Colonel Robert Ferdinand, who was watching the battle with a telescope on the top floor of the St. Paul's Fortress, gasped fiercely, his eyes were a little unable to turn on the spot, and his face was red and white.
"Damn, how can this be, this, this ......"
"It's not true, God, am I dreaming?"
"It's over, it's over, how can this be?"
……
It was not only Colonel Robert Ferdinand who was frightened by such a quick victory of the Qing army, but also the governor of Malacca, Count Diego Rodriguez, and Anders Luis Sousa, who were watching the battle on the high walls of Famosha Castle, and several other high-ranking Portuguese people were also frightened, and they couldn't believe that the heavily guarded church of Santiago couldn't even stop a charge of the Qing army.
"Herald: Signal the enemies of the castle to surrender immediately!"
Although he had not yet received the good news from Lu Yanda's department, He Lin did not wait, but as soon as he heard that the rumbling cannon had stopped, he waved his hand and issued an order, no more, just because He Lin had absolute confidence in the combat strength of the Qing Army, in his opinion, the destruction of the main force of the enemy army in the church of San Diego was a matter of course, seeing that the sky was approaching dusk, he did not want to wait for more 'waste' time.
"Yes!"
He Lin gave the order, and one of his own communications officers hurriedly answered the promise, and passed the order to the flag soldier on the flagship mast, and after a while, he saw two small flags in the hands of the flag soldier waving rhythmically. (Cotton, flower 'sugar' small 'say')
"Report, Your Excellency the Governor, the Qing fleet has sent a flag, demanding that our army surrender immediately, with a time limit of ten minutes, otherwise an attack will be launched!"
As soon as the flag of the Qing fleet was issued, a Portuguese signal soldier who was observing the movement in front of the castle could not hold it back, and rushed all the way along the city wall to the rear of the castle, and reported the information sent by the Qing army to Count Diego Rodriguez, who was like a dumbfounded 'chicken'.
"Oh my God, how can the Qing people be so rude, no, we can't surrender!"
"Yes, I can't surrender, the property of my East India Company is in the castle, if it is swept away by the Qing people, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Yes, if you can't surrender, hold on, the combined fleet led by General Edward will definitely come back, and at that time, the Qing army will not have to worry!"
……
As soon as he heard that the Qing army was persuading him to surrender, Count Diego Rodriguez had not yet spoken, but the group of East India Company executives on the side all shouted, and only Anders Luis Sousa remained silent.
"Anders, what do you think about this?"
If he can hold on, Count Diego Rodriguez doesn't want to do this, the problem is that he can't hold it at all If the left and right batteries are still there, or if the main force led by Major General Gortat Sanders has not been annihilated, Count Diego Rodriguez really has the heart to defend it, as for now, with so many troops in the castle, how can it be the opponent of the Qing army, as for the so-called combined fleet reinforcement, it is just whimsical, Count Diego Rodriguez doesn't think that today, There was still a possibility that the Combined Fleet would exist, but he was not willing to make up his mind to surrender, which left the question to the silent Anders Luis Sousa.
"Your Excellency, the matter is now, the defense is definitely not able to hold, if you can win a decent surrender, it can be regarded as saving some vitality for my Portuguese kingdom, of course, this is just the opinion of the following, how to decide, please let the Earl decide for himself."
Anders Luis Sousa, who was the king's secret envoy, had a good eye, and there was a vague hint between his words, which was basically a reminder of the fact that the Qing army did not launch a strong attack because of other plans.
"......Well, then it's hard for you to go again, first explore the details of the Qing army, and it's not too late to go back and make a decision."
Although he was reluctant to surrender in his heart, in the face of such a powerful military deterrence of the Qing army, Count Diego Rodriguez still did not dare to give the order to resist to the end, but at the last moment, he was unwilling to surrender lightly, which pushed the tricky messenger to Anders Luis Sousa.
"Well, since His Excellency the Earl has commanded it, then let's go on another trip."
Anders Luis Sousa had already concluded that the Qing army had other plans, but he was quite confident in his heart, and did not refuse the request of Count Diego Rodriguez, and after a little 'groaning', he agreed with a few soldiers, took a bamboo basket down the city, waved a white flag, rowed a small boat, and rushed to the "Calm".
"Dear General He, it's really an honor to see you again."
As soon as Anders Luis Sousa arrived on the deck of the "Calm", he was led to the war room, and just when he saw He Lin, who was sitting behind the copywriter, he hurriedly rushed forward in three steps and two steps, and saluted very respectfully, and said with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Anders, there is no need to say more nonsense, you have two choices, one is to resist to the end, and then be completely annihilated by my Qing army, as for the second, that is, unconditional surrender, I can promise the lives of your people and others, where to go, please choose yourself."
He Lin ignored Anders Luis Sosa's smiling greetings, waved his hand solemnly, and unceremoniously gave a multiple-choice question.
"General He, don't worry, please listen to the next words, hehe, don't hide it from you, when he sent an envoy to the Qing Dynasty in the next year, he was the secret envoy of my Kingdom of Portugal, and he had a secret agreement with His Majesty the Emperor of your country, and my Kingdom of Portugal is willing to reconcile with your country forever, this joint fleet, we are indeed 'forced' helpless, and we really do not intend to 'fight' with your country, of course, a mistake is a mistake, and I dare not argue strongly, we are willing to compensate for all the losses caused to your country, and I also ask your country to temporarily rest the anger of the thunder and give us a chance to correct our mistakes."
Anders Luis Sousa was able to be selected as a secret envoy, naturally he was not an idle person, not only fluent in Chinese, but also very delicate in his mind.
"It's good that you can have such an attitude, or not, the general is too lazy to go around in circles, our requirements are all here, you only have the right to agree or not, don't try to 'provoke' our army, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"
With the strong force as the backing, He Lin didn't care much, and he was too lazy, as soon as he raised his hand, he picked up a book of folds that was placed in the corner of the copy, and threw it to Anders Luis Souza at any time.
"This, this ......"
As soon as he saw the fold flying over, Anders Luis Sousa didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly reached out and fished it, grabbed the fold in his hand, opened it and took a look, his face was 'colored' When he was defeated, there was no side, and the various terms on it were really a bit harsh for the Kingdom of Portugal, just the complete withdrawal from Asia, it was not something that Anders Luis Sousa could decide, of course, many of the terms proposed by the Qing Dynasty were not without a side that was beneficial to the Kingdom of Portugal, at least let the Kingdom of Portugal be the exclusive agentThe "Eight Flags Firm" and the spices of the South Seas are the coveted treatment of Portugal, but Anders Luis Sousa has no right to decide, and he does not know how to answer for a while.
"From now on, there is still an hour and a half until it gets dark, and I will give you half an hour to think about it, and I will not wait for it, come and send off guests!"
He Lin is a military general in the end, what he wants is to make a contribution, and he really doesn't want to play a very secret agreement with the Portuguese, but this matter is from the idea of Emperor Renhe, even if He Lin is unwilling, he does not dare not carry it out, of course, from his heart, he actually wishes that the Portuguese would refuse this secret agreement, if so, the fleet under his command will have room to exert force, therefore, He Lin is too lazy to talk to Anders Luis Sousa more, and with a wave of his hand, he has ruthlessly issued the order to expel the guest.
"General He, this clause ......"
As soon as he heard that He Lin had given the eviction order, Anders Louis Saussaden was anxious, and he opened his mouth to fight for it again.
"Needless to say, you only have half an hour, where to go, please make a decision as soon as possible and send off guests!"
He Lin didn't want to listen to Anders, Luis Sosa's explanations at all, and waved his hand impatiently, and several of his 'attendants' officers rushed forward, unceremoniously about to rush forward.
"Hey......"
In the face of He Lin's tough attitude, Anders Luis Sousa was helpless, so he could only sigh helplessly, and was escorted out of the war room by several 'attendants' officers, and rushed back to Famosha Castle by boat......
