Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God
Chapter 491: Entering Manila (3)
Chairman He was slightly startled when he saw this, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, but he soon became excited again and asked, "Could it be... Could it be that your army is the army of the King of Dongzhou Island? Oh my, we have been looking forward to the King of Dongzhou Island leading his army day and night. We have been waiting for sixteen years!"
After saying this, he couldn't help but burst into tears, his excitement was beyond words.
"We are indeed from Dongzhou Island, but please don't misunderstand, we are not Koxinga's army, but the Tiandi Revolutionary Army under the Tiandi Federation. We are the army of the people of the world." Xiao You's words were full of pride.
"Heaven and Earth Federation? Heaven and Earth Revolutionary Army?" President He looked confused and asked, "General, please forgive my lack of knowledge, but which country is this Heaven and Earth Federation?"
"Haha, President He, you don't know that the Heaven and Earth Federation is not a single country. It is actually a federal government composed of many countries and regions. So far, places like the Ryukyu Kingdom, Japan, Goryeo, Dongzhou Island and Jinxia Island have all joined it." Xiao You explained patiently.
"Oh? I see. Then may I ask, General, what is the relationship between you and the Qing Dynasty?" President He continued to ask.
"We are allies!" Xiao You answered without hesitation.
"Alliance?" President He still seemed to not fully understand and frowned slightly.
"Yes, it's an alliance. In the military field, we work hand in hand to resist foreign invasions; and in the field of people's livelihood, we work together to develop the economy. As for more detailed situations, as a soldier, I know limited things and cannot explain them all. However, if you have the opportunity to meet our commander-in-chief in the future, I believe all your questions will be answered naturally." Xiao You added with a smile.
"Commander-in-chief? What does that mean? Is he the emperor of your federal government?" President He's eyes were full of curiosity and confusion.
"There is no emperor in our Tiandi Federation, but some member states do have titles such as emperor and king. But the federal government is different. Our leader is called the commander-in-chief." Xiao You explained patiently.
Hearing this, President He nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he had somewhat understood it.
Then, he turned his gaze to Xiao You, then looked at this mighty and beautiful army, and at the Spanish captives who had once shown off their might, and thought that as long as the Tiandi Army protected them, the Chinese in Luzon would no longer be ravaged by Westerners.
So, he asked again: "General, I want to ask you, is it possible for us in Luzon to join the Heaven and Earth Federation?"
After hearing this, Xiao You paused for a moment and replied, "I can't make the decision on this issue. I need to have a good talk with our commander-in-chief. But our first priority today is to enter the royal city smoothly! We can discuss other matters later."
"Okay, I'm willing to be your guide and accompany you into the royal city!" President He said with a smile on his face, his eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation.
So, Xiao You nodded slightly, signaling the adjutant beside him to give the horse under his crotch to President He.
President He was not polite either. He mounted his horse and walked side by side with Xiao You, slowly advancing with the troops entering the city.
Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
At this time, the sun was still scorching, but the morale of the troops was not diminished in the slightest.
After a long journey, the group finally arrived at the gate of the royal city.
However, the sight before them made everyone's heart sink - they saw that the tall and heavy city gate was tightly closed, like an insurmountable barrier;
On the city wall, there was a vague figure swaying back and forth, making it difficult to see its true appearance.
Brigade Commander Li Qiang frowned when he saw this. He called Pablo to him with a serious expression and asked him sternly, "Didn't you swear before that there were no other Spanish troops in Manila except for the 300 governor's guards? But what's going on in the royal city now? Why is it so heavily guarded?"
Pablo was frightened by Li Qiang's aura, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead. He quickly bowed and apologized, "General, please calm down. Please allow me to go closer and take a closer look at the situation in the royal city, and then report to you."
Li Qiang thought for a moment and finally nodded his agreement. At the same time, he also specially assigned the translator Xiang Zhixia and two strong Tiandi Army soldiers to follow Pablo to prevent him from escaping.
After getting permission, Pablo walked cautiously towards the city gate.
When he arrived at the city gate, he took a deep breath, then looked up and shouted loudly at the city wall: "Who is in charge on the city wall? Please come out!"
After the shout, there was silence. Just when everyone thought there would be no response, suddenly, a slight noise came from the city wall.
Then, a figure slowly poked its head out from behind the battlements.
It turned out to be a Catholic missionary wearing a black robe and holding a cross.
He looked down at the people below the city with a vigilant gaze, a hint of confusion and uneasiness on his face.
"Father Shalaar, did you close the city gate?" Pablo stood at the foot of the tower, looking up and asked loudly. His voice echoed in the empty streets, sounding particularly loud.
"Yes, Colonel Pablo." Father Salar's low and firm reply came from the city wall.
"You are crazy for doing this! This will bring disaster to the white people in the royal city." Pablo frowned and shouted anxiously.
"Colonel Pablo, please understand my difficulties. I do this just to make these occupiers agree to some reasonable conditions in the name of God. As long as they agree, we will naturally open the city gates." Father Sharal clasped his hands and explained sincerely.
"Okay, tell me what your conditions are and I'll convey them to them for you." Pablo sighed helplessly.
However, Father Sharal shook his head and said, "Colonel, this matter is of great importance. It would be more appropriate to ask the general of the occupier to come and discuss it with me in person."
"Okay, in that case, then it's as you wish! But before that, I want to know where the Governor is now?" Pablo stared at Father Salar, waiting for his answer.
"Wales has left the city with his family and guards." Father Sharal said calmly.
After hearing this, Pablo's face turned gloomy. He turned around and walked towards the direction of the Tiandi Army with heavy steps.
