At this time, Yu Dayou made it clear that he didn't want to talk to them, how could this not make Count Bauhinia worry in his heart.

At this time, the situation in the country, as a high-level figure in the kingdom, is naturally very clear, if it is really impossible to hold down the Ming army through peace talks, it is really unrealistic to hold the capital with the thousands of people in the city alone.

Once the capital is breached, not to mention whether the kingdom will be destroyed, even if the kingdom can be rebuilt afterwards, what will happen to these nobles, even if Earl Bauhinia has a thumb to think about it, he can imagine it.

Therefore, the Earl of Bauhinia did not hesitate to go out of the city as an envoy to negotiate with the Ming people when Charles I called his name.

However, the reaction of the celebrities was beyond the expectations of Count Bauhinia, and in Earl Bauhinia's imagination, the Ming people should negotiate with them.

After all, the ultimate goal of all wars is to gain benefits, and as long as they are willing to pay huge benefits, a war can be avoided completely.

But Count Bauhinia thought badly, and Yu Dayou and the others didn't seem to have any intention of making peace.

Earl Bauhinia, who was dragged by several soldiers, said loudly to Yu Dayou: "We are willing to make peace, we are willing to talk, what do you want, but ...... say?"

It's a pity that Yu Dayou was unmoved, sat there, and said slowly: "If I want something, I will take it." ”

After saying this, Yu Dayou said with a little impatience: "Send them back to the city." ”

Soon, the desperate Earl Bauhinia was sent to the city by a group of soldiers, and then those soldiers left the Count Bauhinia and others under the city and turned to leave.

On the city wall, Charles I looked at the Count Bauhinia under the city with some expectation and said loudly: "Count Bauhinia, come up quickly." ”

Soon saw a hanging basket hanging down, and the Earl of Bauhinia glanced in the direction of the Ming army camp behind him with a little unwillingness, and then gritted his teeth and got into the hanging basket.

On the city wall, Charles I watched Count Bauhinia walk out of the hanging basket, not only Charles I, but also the generals and ministers on the side also looked at Count Bauhinia.

"Well, what the hell did Akito say?"

"Do they want gold and silver compensation, just the gold and silver, we will give it, as long as they are willing to withdraw from the army."

"Yes, if you throw millions of gold coins, you think they should be content."

The crowd said a word to me, and the tone was relaxed and a little disdainful, as if they could retreat the Ming army in front of them by giving them some gold and silver.

However, the Earl of Bauhinia shook his head slowly, and in the puzzled eyes of the crowd, he said to Charles I: "Your Majesty, the Ming people ask Your Majesty the King to personally go out of the city and surrender to them......

"What, absolutely not, they are so crazy that they dare to make such an unreasonable request!"

A general, loyal to Charles I, could not help but roar loudly.

Many ministers are also angry, as the so-called lord humiliates the ministers to death, although the western land does not pay attention to these, but they still understand the truth of both glory and loss.

The Ming demanded that Charles I go out of the city and surrender, which meant that the capital would be completely destroyed by then, and they would most likely become prisoners.

When they thought of this, these people became a little anxious.

"Your Majesty, you must not agree, it's a big deal that we will fight with them!"

"Yes, fight!"

Some people demanded a death battle with the Ming Dynasty, and some people persuaded Charles I to open the city and surrender, and finally the two factions almost fought on the city walls.

Charles I, who had always had a cold face, suddenly broke off and said: "Enough, aren't you still messy, it's time for you to still have the heart to quarrel here." ”

Charles I roared and finally quieted down the two factions, everyone, you look at me, I look at it, and finally they all looked at Charles I.

Charles I gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone, if you don't want to be taken prisoner, then unite and fight against the Mingren." ”

When the main battle faction heard this, they naturally cheered, but the surrendering faction showed disappointment one by one.

Charles I said: "I hope everyone can work together, although the Ming people are numerous, but the combat power may not be strong, as long as we can unite, it may not be able to repel the Ming army." ”

With Charles I making up his mind, or because of Charles I's prestige, or because these nobles were unwilling to become captives after the city was broken, they were really united under the oppression of the army outside the city.

The earth shook, and I saw a group of men and horses carrying siege equipment that had been built not long ago towards the capital.

Siege warfare has always been the most test of the elite of the soldiers, and these soldiers can be selected to go thousands of miles away to expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty, and they are naturally the elite of the elite.

Relatively speaking, these soldiers are all veterans who have experience in siege, so when attacking the city, they are orderly one by one, and there is no need for someone to command and dispatch them.

Ladders were erected, and as a large number of soldiers appeared under the city wall, muskets rang out, and at least dozens of Ming soldiers fell under the city wall for a while, and many were killed on the spot.

However, Yu Dayou and other generals who commanded the army from a distance did not change their expressions, as if the death of those soldiers was not important at all.

In fact, whether it was Yu Dayou or other generals, they were very saddened by the death of any soldier.

It was not obvious when they were in China, but after they went abroad, Yu Dayou and they felt that any soldier was so important.

"Artillery fire preparation, give me a hard shot."

After the first wave of tentative attacks, Yu Dayou roughly figured out the defense situation in the city, and then directly sacrificed artillery and began to bombard.

If it is really attacked, to be honest, Yu Dayou is not worried that he will not be able to attack, but he will inevitably have to pay a lot of price, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through the capital without killing one or two thousand elite soldiers.

But if he really wanted to exchange the lives of thousands of elite soldiers for breaking through the capital, Yu Dayou would rather not attack the city.

At this time, the importance of artillery was revealed, and siege artillery was generally very heavy, but there was no doubt about this.

After all, the Tiger Squat Cannon is just a Tiger Squat Cannon, and the close-range attack is full of power, but if it is to be used to siege the city, then its effect is obviously too poor.

I saw that more than a dozen cannons slowly appeared in sight under the efforts of a group of soldiers, each of these cannons weighed hundreds of catties, and it took several soldiers to push together.

More than a dozen cannons were spread out in a row, and the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at the city wall.

On the city wall, Charles I and other generals saw that they had repelled the first wave of attacks of the Ming army, and they breathed a sigh of relief one by one, and the heart that was originally hanging was also put down.

However, before they could be happy, they saw that one of the cannons in the Ming army was pushed out, and looking at the black hole of the cannon, for a while, everyone's hearts sank.

As for the power of the cannon, anyone who knows a little bit about the cannon is naturally very clear in his heart.

The generals almost dragged Charles I away from the city walls, and before they could hide themselves, they heard a roar, followed by a roar.

Rubble flew everywhere, and shells either hit the city walls or fell into the city.

The cannon roared incessantly, and more than a dozen cannons kept firing, blasting shells into the city, plunging the city into chaos.

This wave of shelling lasted for half an hour, but Charles I and other generals hiding in the corners of the city walls could only watch.

It seemed that the days were like years, and finally the sound of the cannon stopped, but at this moment, the earth shook, and the shouts of killing came again.

"It's not good, go up to the city wall and defend the city."

One of the generals reacted and shouted, and many soldiers ran towards the city wall.

When the first Ming soldier appeared on the city wall, more and more Ming soldiers climbed the city wall and fought with the Spanish soldiers who defended the city.

The two sides were caught in a scuffle on the city wall, and the small city wall simply could not support too many soldiers, which was not a good thing for the Spanish side, after all, the city wall was so big, and the two sides could not invest too many men.

Therefore, to a large extent, the competition between the two sides is perseverance, once whoever can't hold on first, then the winner will naturally be divided.

But whenever a soldier dies in battle, a new soldier will be thrown into it, and a small area will suddenly become like a flesh mill, and in a short time, no less than three hundred people will fall here.

Compared with the Spaniards, at least 200 of the more than 300 people who fell were Spaniards, and the Ming side accounted for more than one-third.

"What's the matter, did you drive the Ming people out of the city!"

Below the city walls, Charles I asked a general with an anxious expression.

The general shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Your Majesty, the Ming people are so tenacious that our people can't drive them off the city wall at all." ”

Charles I's expression changed, his face showed a bit of dejection, and he said softly, "Are we really defeated?" ”

Fools know that when the Ming people pushed out the siege cannon, the result was actually doomed.

With the assistance of artillery, if it is stated that tens of thousands of people cannot capture such a capital city guarded by only a few thousand people, then it is impossible for the Ming people to break through the port and kill all the way to the capital.

Suddenly, there was a cheer, and when Charles I and the others looked up, they saw a sun and moon flag planted on the city wall, and a group of Spanish soldiers actually ran over.

"It's over!"

Seeing this scene, even Charles I, no matter how slow he was, realized that they had lost.

As soon as it was dark, Charles I fainted, and the moment he passed out, Charles I heard a shout.

With a creaking sound, the city gate covered with gunpowder smoke was slowly opened, and then a team of Ming soldiers poured into the city.

Those ministers and generals were very decisive in the face of the Ming army, surrendering to the Ming army one by one, and even the king who had passed out in a coma was sacrificed to the Ming people by them.

Riding a high-headed horse, Yu Dayou and others walked into the capital.

Tens of thousands of soldiers poured into the capital, almost filling it.

To tell the truth, this capital is too small in Yu Dayou's opinion, and it is not even the size of an ordinary county town in the Ming Dynasty, it is conceivable that such a city, if tens of thousands of elite troops and artillery can't break it, it is better to withdraw the troops.

In the palace of Charles I, Yu Dayou and others sat there, and below it was Charles I, who was awakened.

Charles I's expression was calm at this moment, and he sat there, looking like an ordinary ordinary person at first glance, but this was the monarch of a maritime power.

looked at Charles I, no matter how Yu Dayou and Jiao Yuan asked, Charles I didn't speak.

Charles I didn't speak, Yu Dayou and the others didn't force it, they just didn't bother to spend effort on it, but just like Charles I, they would be sent to Beijing in the end.

The kingdoms of all sizes that they destroyed along the way, and the kings who were captured were almost all in the capital at this time.

Therefore, Charles I, although he is said to be the king of Spain, is not much different from the kings of those small countries in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that the capital has been breached, the next step is naturally to start harvesting.

A team of soldiers began a journey of looting wealth under the joint supervision of Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

First of all, the king's treasure was found, and it was densely packed with gold, silver, jewelry, antique jade and other precious objects that filled the entire secret room.

It must be said that the value of the gold and silver looted from the king's treasury alone was as much as 50 million taels.

The amount of money looted from the king's treasury was beyond anyone's expectations.

It is more than 50 million taels, which is definitely not a small number, so much wealth does seem quite amazing and exaggerated, but it will not feel unacceptable when you think about it.

Charles I reigned for so many years, and it was the period when the Spanish navy expanded abroad and occupied a number of overseas treasures, but during this period, all the governors who were released were not shipwowed back to Spain with a large number of gold, silver, jewels and other treasures, some of which were dedicated to Charles I, and the other part went into the pockets of these governors.

In addition to the treasure trove of Charles I, the most concerned is the treasury, as the treasury of a country, especially the treasury of the country that can be called the first maritime power in this period, how much money has been accumulated, ordinary people really don't know.

The treasury is important, even in the middle of a big war, Charles I still arranged a team of men and horses to be stationed here to ensure the safety of the treasury, otherwise, once there is an accident in the treasury, it will affect the stability of the country.

Even some people took advantage of the chaos in the city to fish in troubled waters, but they were beaten by the guards of these treasury and left behind a corpse, which made these people who wanted to take advantage of the chaos rest their minds.
