My Daming New Empire

He could only send messengers to the fortress on the east side of the mountain, affirming to Duarte that this one-sided war should be over, and precious soldiers should not be allowed to die on this battlefield where there is no victory in sight.

Regardless of the number of soldiers and the weapons of the army, the Portuguese are at a disadvantage.

Even if they can cause some damage to the Ming soldiers, the Portuguese soldiers will die more.

This kind of artillery is so powerful that they can't hold their heads up at all.And the opponent's muskets are too advanced, they can shoot without lighting the fuse.

After receiving Alvato's message, Duarte hadn't made a decision yet, and then he heard the sound of violent bombing.

The assembled warships adjusted the firing range of their artillery, and carried out a covering bombing of the damaged city walls.

Although the destructive power of the stone bullets on the fortifications is limited, not all of Ceuta's city walls are built of solid rocks. In many places, they are just a thin layer of walls.

Westerners have not yet entered the era of artillery. Their city walls could withstand firearms, but they could not withstand the attack of stone bullets weighing more than ten kilograms, and piece by piece of city walls collapsed.

Those Portuguese soldiers who tried to defend at the gap fell down in pieces until their bloody flesh became a pile of mud.

So much so that the land there turned into a sticky ground of flesh and blood, and people couldn't even stand.

Xue Lu is still waiting. He can see that the morale of the Portuguese is now low, but the opponent's command system has been perfected and can organize an effective defense.

He was going to launch another round of artillery attacks aimed at personnel, break up the opponent's organized defense, and then launch a general attack, so that the losses of Ming soldiers would be even smaller.

But what he didn't expect was that at this moment, a white flag rose from the mountain on the east side, and as this white flag rose, from east to west, white flags rose up one after another.

The general offensive has not yet started, and the Ming soldiers have not even entered the fortifications, yet the opponent surrendered!

This made Xue Lu feel extremely uncomfortable as if he had punched nothing.His grandma, I took off my pants, and you're having your period!

However, there was Zhu Zhan's Christian battle in the rear, and envoys from other countries were watching the battle. Zhu Zhanji asked her to show the momentum of Ming Dynasty and focus on reducing casualties.

Few of Ming's soldiers were injured now, and the opponent had already surrendered. Although the fight was not smooth, at least, the goal had been achieved.

Therefore, although extremely depressed, Xue Lu still knows the seriousness.With an order, the red flag was slowly lowered and replaced by a purple flag of a temporary truce.

As the flag was raised, the semaphore of each ship was conveyed. In less than a cup of tea, all the warships had received the order.

Cao Dongming, the commander of the young army who was in charge of landing on the north shore, felt a lot more relieved when he saw the white flag raised by the opponent. The battle was so easy. Except for a few unlucky ones who were injured by stray bullets, no one died.

Although it is more troublesome to be hit by lead bullets and it is easy to get sepsis, but now there are some high-efficiency medicines from the imperial physician, which does not necessarily require amputation or death.

This can be regarded as a clean and tidy victory, and a credit is indispensable.

But at this time, we can't relax, because we still have to take over the positions. As for the prisoners, he is not responsible.

Because this is a battle of "civilization", according to the agreement at the beginning, the Portuguese do not need to surrender to Ming, they can gather themselves and then retreat.

But as a condition, all their supplies in the fort, including explosives, must be left to Daming, let alone blow up the already built fortifications.

And the envoys from various countries who watched the battle all looked ashen.

They never imagined that such a strong fortress would not survive even two hours under the attack of Daming's artillery.

They thought that the Ming people would win, but they never thought that the victory would come so easily.

These are the Portuguese who are not bad at fighting. They can fight the Marlins so hard that they dare not fight, but there is nothing they can do about the artillery.

These observers couldn't imagine that there would be such a powerful weapon, let alone the Portuguese, and even they had no way to deal with such a weapon.

This is the real artillery, but they can't make it at all.

They are attacking the city now, mainly relying on trebuchets, which are much more powerful than trebuchets.

Everyone has made a decision in their hearts that they must not go to war with the Ming people until they can't build artillery.

Without the cover of artillery, they simply cannot take advantage of the battlefield.

Moreover, the muskets of the Ming people are too powerful, and they can shoot without a match, which also subverts their cognition.

We must have new guns, artillery!

Zhu Zhanji felt that everything was normal. With such a large firepower advantage, it would be a surprise if Daming lost.

With a clean victory, Da Ming's goal of launching this war has been achieved.

(On a business trip, I have updated [-] words in the past two days. I am a little short, sorry, I will make up when I go back.)

Thanks to Mr. Zhang Degong of the Great Sui Dynasty, seeing people with lights, I spit you out, bamboo sticks, hello thoughts, thank you for your support.

Chapter 51 Daming is Coming

Such a highly regarded battle came to an end in just an hour, but it didn't make people feel anticlimactic.

The appearance of artillery made the Europeans panic. They realized that the artillery power of Ming Dynasty not only changed the mode of war, but also made the Ming fleet invincible.

Such a strong fortress cannot face bombing, and wooden warships have no possibility of resistance.

Artillery, everyone only pays attention to this issue.

Of course, if you can get Daming's non-ignition musket to study, no one will let it go.

The muskets that don't need to be ignited, many people are speculating whether they can be ignited directly when it rains. If so, Ming's muskets are much more advanced than the muskets that appeared in Europe.

In addition to various commodities, Daming's weapons became the most concerned thing for everyone.

Zhu Zhanji doesn't care about their respective ideas at this time, and he will not easily leak weapon manufacturing technology, so that the West can quickly catch up with Ming's technology.

After the formal surrender of the Portuguese, he gave instructions quickly.

Jin Chun accepted the opponent's surrender on behalf of Daming, and Xue Lu led the soldiers of the young army, led by the spies of Habayashi Weixue, to quickly occupy various important positions in the fortress.

Habayashi chose a suitable place in the fortress to serve as Zhu Zhanji's palace, and established a strict protection system.The Ministry of Industry and the internal supervisor quickly cooperated to build a new palace for Zhu Zhanji.

And on the flat ground between the two mountains of Ceuta, build a merchandise display window.

At the same time, after accepting the surrender of the Portuguese, Jin Chun also quickly handed over trade credentials in Ming script to some envoys who came to watch the battle, plus translations in other languages.

Although this letter of credence was just a sales letter, it took countless manpower to issue it.

In Ming Dynasty, there were no talents who could understand the language of Xiyi, and Honglu Temple and the Secretary of General Administration only had general staff who could understand the language of Dashi.

During the more than half a year from Hulumos to Ceuta, although the director of Ming Dynasty has learned the language of Western Yi from those big food merchants, his oral communication is not bad, but his written language ability is much worse.

Because these big food merchants themselves are not particularly proficient in Western languages, most of them also master Latin.

To master Western languages, the most important thing is to memorize different words one by one. Therefore, when writing in languages ​​​​of various countries cannot be used, writing national letters in Latin has become the only choice.

And if you don't want these big cannibals to turn right and wrong in this process, or misinterpret Da Ming's meaning, you must also establish a screening system.
