Chapter 749: Victory
After hearing these words, Charlie was immediately disheartened.
At this time, the boat was filled with resentment.
If the rebellion is suppressed, it is probably the fuse of the rebellion of the sailors and sailors on the ship.
Ships are no more than land.
If Charlie notices abnormal movements on land, he can report it to other troops. But here, a ship is equivalent to a world, and Charlie's King's Guard will take nearly a year to walk here.
So he immediately calmed down.
Since murder cannot solve the problem, we can only adopt a peaceful approach.
"Can we ask our friendly forces to send them some food and fresh water?"
Capes immediately shook his head and said, "General, their situation is worse than us, especially the Spaniards. All their supply ships have sunk. I heard that they have started to lose food yesterday."
Charlie took a deep breath.
He was really scared.
In this vast sea, without food, fresh water, the nearest port, and the distance from him was enough to reach the Triumph, everyone would starve to death.
On the ship, rebellion has begun to appear.
This is almost a mortal situation.
If he continues to do nothing, even the commander, he will face two endings.
One was starved to death, and the other was the neck of an angry person in his sleep.
Anyway, both sides and vertically, all deaths are all.
Charlie couldn't help but curse, "These Ming soldiers are so cunning that they are so despicable. In my opinion, they did not choose to continue fighting with us, just to create such a situation. No wonder they always attack shells in the direction of the supply ship. I understand that this is a strategy, and they are not like dignified soldiers at all. They are despicable and shameless, and they have no morality at all..."
He was extremely angry, but he had no choice but to do anything. He seemed to be able to feel a little more comfortable when he cursed him like this.
Capes also felt this despair, and at the same time he understood Charlie's anger very well, so he subconsciously said: "Yes, I think so too, General... But we were defeated, what should we do now?"
"I've decided." Charlie's eyes showed a trace of determination, and then said, "We want to go deep into the coast of Ming Dynasty."
Capes was stunned and then said in surprise: "But...we have already..."
"We want to surrender!" Charlie stared at his eyes and said firmly.
Capes's face suddenly became dull, and after a moment of ease, he couldn't help but say, "But General... you just said that they were despicable and shameless."
"It is precisely because they are despicable and shameless that they believe that they can understand our actions under helplessness and understand the reasons why we do this."
Capes still felt incredible, so he hurriedly said, "They are villains who have gone back on their word."
"People who don't even know that they have to go back on their word must be barbarians. Only civilized people will go back on their word. I am confident that I can deal with civilized people."
"He is our enemy, and they don't even believe in God."
"So surrender is absolutely necessary. Only through surrender can we communicate with them harmoniously and express our views on faith. Maybe they accepted it?"
"But many of our soldiers died in their hands."
"May those children rest in peace, I believe that their souls will surely go to the kingdom of heaven, and there will be no pain or war in the kingdom of heaven. They will also hope that there will be less war in this sinful world."
"What should I do with His Highness the King?"
"Your Highness is kind. When he knows our situation, he will definitely worry about us. In order not to worry about him, I feel that surrender is more necessary. Do you think His Highness the King would be willing to watch us die in this vast ocean like this? No, he will choose mercy and forgiveness, and be relieved by it."
“…”
"What else do you have to say?"
"The soldiers may strongly object, and perhaps the sailors' resentment will be deeper."
Charlie looked very confident and touched Capes' shoulders and said, "No, they will cheer. I know them because they are also civilized people. Only Germans and Slavic barbarians are ashamed of this. Okay, what else do you have?"
Capes suddenly felt that his conscience was much better. When he thought of... at least the probability of surviving like this was much greater, he suddenly became excited and said excitedly: "General, I have no problem, you are right."
Charlie smiled with relief and said, "That's good."
"So we're giving orders now?"
"No." Charlie shook his head and said, "Don't worry, there is no room for change when orders are issued. We should test first. You can send out the news first and test their reactions first. If everyone is happy, then we will read this decision naturally, and if everyone expresses anger, we can deny it."
"Yes, I get it."
The next morning, the Triomphe hung a huge white flag, and then the ship appeared at the estuary of the Yangtze River.
On the Songjiang Mansion, when I saw a pirate ship approaching, I became panicked again.
Soon they discovered that these ships did not have any offensive actions after docking.
Instead, someone, holding a white flag, unarmed his weapons. He did not even ride a horse, but rode a mule that symbolized harmlessness, and then appeared outside the water village.
After a while, someone brought this person into the water village.
After trying hard to find someone to translate, I actually found someone who understands Franji language.
And this Frenchman obviously also has some Franciscan language.
In fact, even so, everyone talks with each other.
Fortunately, the matter we negotiated was very simple, it was just a matter of seeking peace.
After guessing a few words, you will know the other party’s intentions.
The local Qiangu was really surprised and delighted.
Immediately, I immediately ordered someone to report to Zhenjiang.
Not long after, someone came from Zhenjiang and brought a professional knowledge that was good at French.
After some exchange.
Finally realized that the other party was sincere.
The other party did not put forward any conditions and was willing to put down all his weapons and went ashore.
Unconditional surrender, and be clean and neat.
Charlie arrived in Zhenjiang three days later.
He seemed very calm and had no psychological burden caused by surrender.
The news has long been spread to Zhenjiang.
At first, Zhenjiang was in a state of chaos due to civil and military affairs. Even the governor was killed by Governor Zhang. For a moment, people were panicked and many people were worried... Governor Zhang performed the practice of destroying his family in Nanjing.
Fortunately, the military discipline of the Donglin Army is surprisingly good.
Just as everyone was relaxing, it was rumored that the Liaodong Navy defeated the pirate fleet. Some people cheered and some people found it incredible.
It is understandable that cheering and excitement.
Which of the people along the coast has no relatives who have suffered from this pirate? If Governor Zhang really defeated the pirates, it would be a crime to punish the people and finally let everyone live a peaceful life.
Today, I learned that someone brought a boat to surrender, and that the pirate leader was about to enter Zhenjiang.
The entire Zhenjiang has been empty alleys, and the city gate is already crowded with people.
When Charlie's convoy arrived, Charlie was escorted and was riding in a prison car.
Charlie had no objection to this. After all, he knew that his destiny had to be decided by the other party passing through the king of Liaodong.
The prison cart flapped across the market, and countless people rushed to see the blonde and blue-eyed man, his curly hair, strange costumes, and his eyes of different colors.
So there are people who curse, some who throw stones, some who are purely curious, and some who are so scared that there are many people who cover their eyes.
The prison cart arrived at the center.
Charlie was escorted to the lobby.
Zhang Jing has already been promoted to the throne, and he has long been used to Westerners. First it was Mark, then it was the House, and now there is such a Charlie.
When he arrived in front of Zhang Jingyi, Charlie immediately gave a tribute and began to say a lot of words.
The Tongshi looked confused and stood there like a wooden stake.
Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but frown and said, "What did he say?"
"I said it too quickly. Your Highness... the villain... I don't understand it very much, but it's all auspiciousness, blessings, supreme, supreme, master, and the king. I think I'm saying hello to you."
Zhang Jing said, saying that he had already understood something, so he said, "Ask him, are you guilty?"
The Tongshi said helplessly: "Your Highness... the villain wants... I want..."
"you say."
"The villain is not very proficient in French. He has been in contact with Franchise, and he has barely learned a few words. The villain is proficient in Franchise. Otherwise... Mark is actually proficient in French and happens to be familiar with Franchise. If he or she is asked to translate the French words into Franchise, it would be more appropriate for the villain to translate the Franchise language."
Zhang Jingyi: “…”
After thinking about it, I can only do this now.
So he immediately ordered someone to tell Mark to come.
Wait for the Mark to be taken.
Charlie was so scared that his face looked like a mortal. At first he felt that he had been treated as a prison car, but the other party was just pretending, but Mark was beaten and bruised.
I saw that there was no good piece of meat all over Mark, limping, the corners of his mouth seemed to be torn, and he looked numb.
Seeing this Mark was the first to bow down.
Charlie immediately fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, there was a few exchanges of messages.
Charlie brought six ships, more than 1,400 people, and was determined to surrender all of them without putting forward any conditions. After they got ashore, everything was obedient.
Of course, if there are any requirements, I hope that the Ming Dynasty can allow them to write to Europe, whether it is to contact their families or report on this matter, in short, at least there is news.
Chapter completed!
