From St. Paul's Fortress to the East India Company Pier in the Inner Harbor of Haojiang in Macau, the straight line is less than three miles away. However, Charlie Goff and Ji Dabao, who came out of St. Paul's Fortress, walked for nearly an hour before they arrived at the East India Company Store where Zhu Hetong was located.

The reason why they walked so slowly was not because they were afraid of being punished by Zhu and Kao, but because a large number of Portuguese and English who traded with Chinese merchants in the field on the north bank of the Guanzha River, they already knew that the Chinese were calling!

Therefore, they did not dare to continue doing business anymore. They all packed up their belongings and ran away to the turret with their tails.

In addition, at this time, there were more than 5,000 Portuguese living in Macau at this time! Of course, it is impossible for so many people to live in St. Paul's Basin, which can accommodate so many people. But living in that way is too crowded, and Macau has never been attacked by powerful enemies since 1625.

So a large number of Macau Portuguese and mixed-race Portuguese have bought spacious residences on Macau Island. Now that we know that Macau is being attacked by the enemy, we naturally come in groups and take our families to the fort.

Several groups of people gathered together, and the road to the turret was a sea of ​​people and cars, and I couldn't walk fast any more.

So when Charlie Goff and Ji Dabao met Zhu Hetong in the yard of the East India Company Store, it was already evening and it was already quite dark.

At this time, the busy surrounding the East India Shopping Mall was a bit unreasonable. The shop was a bit like a large construction site. Hundreds of shirtless workers were sweating profusely. Under the command of the young Jinyiwei, they placed bags of white rice or straw bags filled with soil along the low courtyard wall of the shop.

The dock was even busier. The Great Oriental and the other two old gate ships that were docked had been removed. The three old gate ships they replaced had been put down ten springboards from the deck. The soldiers of the Dahao Qiu family worked like crazy. They got off the ship and kept transporting bags and buckets of goods.

There were more than a dozen small sampans constantly traveling between the other three old gates and docks that were "queuing" in line, and fully armed soldiers were transported one after another.

Qiu Rong and Zhu Heying brought Mr. Guo, who was in charge of logistics, to take charge of the dock, and personally took charge of the command and dispatch.

The Qiu family army of the brigade had begun to assemble and headed south to occupy the position in the north of St. Paul's Fort.

The Zhuqiu family's coalition forces were transported by sea, with a total of more than 4,200 people, including about a thousand sailors, and the rest were all land divisions, but there were no cavalry. So they had to be equipped with a large number of spears to resist the Portuguese cavalry.

Now the Qiu family army who drove out to occupy the position were all a combination of spearmen and turtledove-footed muskets. As the team advanced, the tip of the gun fluctuated under the dusk sunlight, shining with a cold light, which was very terrifying.

However, Charlie Goff and Ji Dabao, who had been dealing with the army of the Yanping Palace, knew that neither the Zheng family nor the Qiu family's Land Division were first-class. Although they could imitate the tactics of the Westerners, they did not get the essence. It was difficult for spearmen and musketeers to coordinate, and there was no artillery that could move quickly on the battlefield. Cavalry was an extremely rare type of troops.

In a sense, they just learned some of the basics of Western military science, which looked a little bit, but did not get the essence.

Although such an army can compete with the Portuguese Macau soldiers in field battles, it is impossible to quickly conquer the St. Paul's Fortress.

Unless they really have some dark magic!

While the two were thinking about the black magic, they happened to be taken by several young Jinyiwei to Zhu Hezhi and Zhuge Military Advisor who had already changed into "Confucius uniforms".

Zhuge's military advisor rested on the land for a while, his spirit was already rising. He shook his fan and counted his fingers, looking like he could pinch and calculate. Seeing Charlie Goff and Ji Dabao come in, the military advisor immediately pinched his fingers and pretended to say to Zhu Hetian: "Criminal, I have already calculated it! The Portuguese governor Luo Dongni was stubborn and tried to resist the heavenly soldiers, Macau Bishop Santos was foolish and rebellious, and tried to ask the help of the Lord Jesus in the West to destroy the magic handed down by the ancestors of my family!"

After hearing Zhuge Sanhe's words, Charlie Goff was shocked and said everything! It's really a dark magic!

Ji Dabao next to him looked disdainful, and he knew that the methods of these fortune tellers were fake, and that they could judge the words and expressions were real.

"Military advisor," Zhu Hezhi spoke very appropriately at this time, "I heard that the Western Catholic Jesus has a lot of magic power, and it is very effective, how should we break it?"

The devout believer Ji Dabao sneered in his heart: "I want to break Jesus' magic, are you delusional?"

"What's the difficulty?" Zhuge Sanhe shook the goose feather fan and said, "The Westerners have the Lord Jesus, and I, the saint Confucius, have. If you want to break the way of Jesus, you should use the way of the saint!"

Ji Dabao sighed in his heart: "This military advisor Zhuge is not good, how can he use Confucius to compare with Jesus? You should invite the Jade Emperor and the Supreme Lord of the Supreme Lord to fight Jesus! No matter how bad it is, you should invite Taibai Jinxing, the Monkey King, etc., how can you invite Confucius? Can Confucius beat Jesus even if he is a scholar?"

"Military advisor, Confucius also uses this?" Zhu Hezang asked, "Do you want to ask Saint Confucius to come forward?"

"No, no," Mr. Zhuge waved his hand, "Satos did not have the ability to ask Jesus to come to earth."

Zhu Heying, who probably didn't have one, thought: "The only one who can ask Jesus to come down to earth is Xiao Chaogui, the eight thousand-year-old king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!"

Zhu Heying seemed a little worried, and asked Charlie Goff and Ji Dabao with a smile: "Mr. Goff, Mr. Ji, and Military Advisor Zhuge are both correct?"

"Yes, yes," Charlie Goff nodded and said carefully, "Governor Rothony is unwilling to surrender. Bishop Santos also believes that your spell is probably black magic!"

Ji Dabao said: "Biography of Santos does not invite Jesus to be above him. He is just a bishop with a magic power, and there are also Bishops in Purple, Cardinal and Pope in White. As far as I know, probably only Pope in White has the ability to invite Jesus to come to earth!"

What? Can the Pope ask Jesus to come down to earth? Zhu Hezang was almost amused by Ji Dabao, a Chinese Catholic. Do he really understand? The people in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are not his disciples, right?

Military Advisor Zhuge nodded and smiled, "As long as the Pope in White does not come to China, I will have nothing to worry about."

This is said very arrogantly, and it is directly benchmarked against the Pope of Rome!

"How should the lonely family break Santos's spell?" Zhu Hezang asked seriously.

"As long as the prince is wearing a Confucian robe and chants the "Analects of Confucius" with his mouth!"

"Okay!" Zhu Heying smiled, "The Gu family has already put on a Confucian robe, and the Gu family is the best at reading "The Analects of Confucius"." He looked up at the sky, "It's getting late, it's time to send troops! Military advisor, the dock teaches you. Scar Rong and I lead the troops to fight the St. Paul Fortress. If the Portuguese naval army attacks, you will have someone burn them with the 'Samadhi True Fire'!"

When talking about the "Samadhi True Fire", Zhu Hezang deliberately raised his voice, just to say it to Charlie Goff and Ji Dabao present.

In the seventeenth century, it was not a bad thing to have "black magic"!

Then he said to Charlie Goff: "Mr. Goff, please go to the big turret again and tell Rothony that since he is going to fight, then from tonight, the lonely family will take the big turret within twenty-four hours!"

Zhu Hezang's words declared that the brief ceasefire between him and the Macau Portuguese had ended.
Chapter completed!
