Charlie is sensible.

Or rather, he understands the process very well.

This is completely different from some people who can't figure it out, it's all down, and what's the toss!

So his attitude is clear and straightforward.

It's just that everyone has been handed over to you to dispose of, I won't say anything, you can do it yourself.

Of course, the ship is also your trophy, whether you scuttle it or absorb it, that is also your business.

My identity is that of a captive, and I will do what a captive should do in peace.

The only request was a letter.

This is important.

Because he and his crew's families are still thousands of miles away, and even if they are in this situation now, they should at least know what situation they are in.

Not only that, but as a commander, it was necessary for him to send an enthusiastic letter to the king, reaffirming his loyalty and, of course, referring to many practical issues.

All in all, he was convinced that he and the relatives of the officers in the fleet would find a way to put pressure on the king, and at that time, it would be natural that representatives of the king would come to negotiate with the Ming with great sincerity.

Until then, I'll be honest and obedient.

To put it bluntly, I'll do whatever you tell me to do.

Zhang Jingyi's feeling at this time was greatly shocked, it was the first time he had encountered such a cooperative captive.

The people were even so considerate that they even thought about the plan for Zhang Jingyi to take prisoners.

Letters to His Holiness and his family will be reviewed in advance by Zhang Jingyi's people.

The ship and the gold and silver on board naturally belonged completely to the Ming Dynasty and had nothing to do with them, the French on the ship...... If they could, they were even willing to set up a captivity camp by themselves, and then lock themselves up, and in the process of captivity, all the expenses could also be asked by the Ming to ask the French side.

All in all, I don't bother you with anything, I arrange it myself.

Zhang Jingyi didn't care about this, these people ...... After that, just clean up slowly.

Zhang Jingyi asked, "What is the situation of the other ships?" ”

Charlie said honestly: "The situation is not much better than ours, the vast majority of ships are short of food and fresh water, gunpowder is not replenished, medicine is also lacking, and there are even many ships that cannot be effectively maintained, I think...... If they can't dock, then probably ...... The situation is dire. I heard that some ships are trying to go in the direction of Macao...... Want to give it a try...... Able to restock a little there...... So my advice is...... If Your Highness were to send an army to Macao, there would be no hope for them at all. ”

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "I have thought of these for a long time, but ...... Why didn't you go to Macau in the first place? ”

Charlie immediately said: "Macau is too small to supply a large-scale fleet, even if you go...... I'm afraid it's hard to get supplies. And...... I think that since in the course of the naval battle, the Ming navy did not adopt the strategy of annihilation, but deliberately attacked the ships that supplied them, then Your Highness, your strategy must be to cut off the supply and cut off the hope of the fleet! In this case, how is it possible to stay in Macau? ”

"Therefore, my judgment at that time was that Your Highness, you may have sent a large number of troops to assemble in Macao, and as soon as the fleet docks, those fleets that are in a desperate situation may step into the trap."

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help laughing, to be honest...... This point, as Charlie said, has indeed been thought out a long time ago.

These fleets can always attack the port by surprise, not because the Ming army can't help them, but because they can always attack them unprepared.

But now that they know that the direction of their focus is Macao, they only need to send a Donglin army there to wait for work.

As for the other ports, they all adopted the strategy of clearing the wilderness, and as long as they really dared to go to Macao, they would be given a head-on blow.

Zhang Jingyi said with great satisfaction: "Yes, you are a smart person. ”

"Your Highness...... I do have some wisdom, but my wisdom judgment is based on your superb wisdom, and it is precisely because of your wisdom that I can make predictions on this basis. Charlie wasted no time in saying.

After a pause, Charlie seemed to think of something, and said, "But have you ever thought about it, Your Highness, that the time will ...... There will be a large number of ships docking, and many will become your captives, including the English, the Dutch, the Portuguese and the Spanish...... There are even Swiss mercenaries, so many of them...... It may cause some trouble to you, Your Highness, if you put them all to death, it will hinder your mercy, but it cannot be released easily, you must let them suffer enough, Your Highness has not thought about managing them? ”

Zhang Jingyi seemed to be interested all of a sudden, stared at him and said, "It seems that you already have a way." ”

Charlie said: "I have heard that the Dutch people run their colonies, because they themselves have few people, so they like to look for a small number of people in the colony, give them privileges, and use this minority race to manage the majority of people, so that these minority races, because they are natives, so they understand the local customs, and also understand astronomy and geography, and can give many useful suggestions to the Dutch people, not to mention their status, superior to others, Then it is all the more necessary for the Dutch to use force as a guarantee to govern the majority of the indigenous people. ”

"My advice is the same as that of the Dutch, just say me, my partner and I know the Spanish, the Portuguese and the English and the Swiss very well, know their customs, know their language, and know what is going on in their heads......"

"If Your Highness you...... If you approve of me, my subordinates and I are willing to serve His Highness. Charlie blinked, looked up and looked at Zhang Jingyi cautiously.

Even if you surrender, you have to be a model for those who surrender, Charlie is very clear!

He was anxious to take the fleet to surrender first, in fact, this is also a considerable part of the reason, after all, in this world, there is a need for shepherd dogs everywhere, Charlie does not mind using the first-mover advantage of his surrender to change his future situation in the East.

Zhang Jingyi was groaning and did not say anything, his calm face made people unable to see his emotions, but said lightly: "Let's take people down first, and then take a look." ”

As soon as the French fleet fell, the situation in the six coastal provinces was completely clear.

And Li Dingguo's military horses had already rushed to Macao, and the army drove directly into Macao.

Sure enough, half a month later, one after another ships began to land in the vicinity of Macao, and these starving people swarmed ashore and soon obediently tied their hands and were captured.

Occasionally, those who resisted were all exterminated, and there was no mercy.

Zhang Jingyi had already let go of the matter in Zhenjiang and hurried back to Beijing.

At this time, it was the beginning of spring, when I arrived at Tianjin Wei by boat, here, this Tianjin Wei already had the appearance of a big city.

Originally, this was the sea gateway of the Ming Dynasty, so it was an important military town, but with the prosperity of Caoyun, this Tianjin Wei as an important node of Caoyun, but also slowly began to have a strong commercial atmosphere.

Until the construction of the railway, it became not only the node of the land railway, but also the intersection of the water transportation, so countless businessmen gathered.

As soon as Zhang Jing was escorted to the railway station, there was already a steam locomotive waiting here, and in the seven or eight carriages, there were all heavily armed officers and soldiers and personnel of the brocade guard.

The next day, the steam locomotive slowly arrived in the capital.

At this time...... Sun Chengzong was already waiting on the platform.

The news of Zhenjiang had already reached the capital.

Wang Wenjun's thief is already a sure thing, after all, the evidence is so detailed that there is no denial at all.

But the controversy remains.

Some people believe that Zhang Jingyi disposed of the supervisor without authorization, which is a big taboo, and requires severe punishment without loans, if not...... If you dare to move the superintendent today, won't you dare to be the son of heaven tomorrow?

Some people also believe that the harm of thieves is too great, and if they cannot act cheaply, they will inevitably aggravate the deterioration of the situation.

Just when everyone is in a lot of trouble.

When the news came out that Zhang Jingyi was about to arrive in Beijing.

At this time, the holy decree came out, and he ordered Sun Chengzong, a cabinet scholar, to go to greet Zhang Jingyi.

All of a sudden...... The attitude in the palace is self-explanatory.

The cabinet university scholar is Zai Fu, and Zai Fu personally welcomed Zhang Jingyi into Beijing, which can be said to be extremely high.

Unless you are a person of very noble status or have made great contributions, you can enjoy this honor.

Obviously, this is His Majesty's recognition of Zhang Jingyi's great credit!

Since the credit is recognized, it is natural to think that there is no problem with Wang Wenjun's disposal.

got out of the car, and on the platform, Sun Chengzong and Zhang Jing greeted each other.

Sun Chengzong smiled and took the lead in saying: "Hearing the news of the triumph, it can be said that the whole dynasty was shaken, and Your Majesty was even more overjoyed...... It's not easy, it's not easy, it's just ...... What is the situation in the six provinces now, I have only heard of the victory in the naval battle, but how to encircle and suppress the remnants of the thieves in the future should not be underestimated. ”

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sun Gong has already made arrangements." ”

Sun Chengzong didn't continue to ask, he knew that since Zhang Jingyi had said this, he must have already had a plan, and there was no need to worry about the pirates.

Sun Chengzong remembered some things, so he said: "At the beginning, the old man strongly recommended Zhang Dudu, and now I mention this, not to be hindsight and invite merit to buy it, but to ...... In today's situation, it is useless to expect people like Wang Wenjun to count on such a major event! ”

Wang Wenjun conspired with thieves and said that if only based on talent, such a person would be released to the outside world, just misleading the country and the people, but he is such a person...... can become a feudal official, I have accumulated many disadvantages, and this ...... It is precisely the biggest stubborn disease. ”
