The ninth and thirtieth chapters come sooner than come Qiaoqiuyue
Under the command of Zheng Chenggong, the Ming army won the battle with an overwhelming advantage.
The Spanish army's fight of trapped beasts did not play any substantial role.
The Ming army's determination and decisiveness made the battle appear one-sided.
The Ming army beheaded countless times and captured many Spanish soldiers.
This includes Jose, the Governor of New Spain.
When José knelt down in front of Zheng Chenggong and begged for surrender, Zheng Chenggong showed a look of disdain.
As a professional soldier, Zheng Chenggong himself regards honor as more important than anything else, including life.
In order to survive, Jose made such a pig and dog-like attitude, which really makes people look down upon.
Of course, it is also a blessing to be able to capture Jose, at least it gives Zheng Chenggong more bargaining chips in negotiations with Spain.
From the beginning, Zheng Chenggong did not think of starting a full-scale war with Spain, but wanted to open up the Maritime Silk Road.
The traditional Maritime Silk Road is directed through India to Europe.
This American route has only been opened in the past 100 years.
His Majesty the Emperor means to keep this route firmly in his hands, which of course will have conflicts with the old sailing empire of Spain.
Contradictions are inevitable, but they can be negotiated.
And Jose is undoubtedly the bargaining chip for negotiation.
No one wants to resort to military affairs unless it is absolutely necessary.
If you don’t come to America, you won’t know how great America is.
Only when Zheng Chenggong personally set foot on the land of the American continent could he feel this feeling of majesty and vastness.
He and Gan Hui hugged each other tightly and cried with joy.
This is the kind of emotion and feeling that only men can experience.
"My grandson, I am fortunate to be defeated and guard it. Fortunately, you arrived in time, otherwise these five thousand brothers would have died here in battle. I didn't expect these Spanish people to be so insidious. As soon as I came, I showed that they were here to discuss cooperation, but who knew they were trying to kill us."
Gan Hui complained to Zheng Chenggong.
Zheng Chenggong could naturally understand Gan Hui's grievances.
How much pressure did a man lead five thousand brothers on an unknown journey alone?
And he could not share these pressures with others. Because he was the chief general of a army, and the general was the courage of a army.
If Gan Hui makes people feel that he is scared, the morale of the army will inevitably be shaken or even collapsed.
If Gan Hui is as calm as a mountain and acts as calm as a Buddha, then other ordinary soldiers will not feel panic.
This is complementary.
As the saying goes, one moves the whole body, this is what it means.
Gan Hui is not a pretentious person, but at this time he really needs a window to vent his feelings.
"Good brother, thank you for your hard work."
Zheng Chenggong patted Gan Hui on the shoulder, just like he was treating his own children.
"It's better to come early than to come by chance. The place where we landed is strange. It's only a hundred miles away from this small seaside town. If it's a little more, it's not necessarily time to get there."
Zheng Chenggong paused and said, "But now, you don't have to worry. Everything is under the control of our army, and the next step is negotiation."
Zheng Chenggong's so-called negotiations did not refer to talking to these Spanish governors on the American continent, but to talk directly to the Spanish king.
Only negotiations at this level can be strong.
Otherwise, even if Jose promised Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Chenggong would not dare to believe it easily.
Because he knew that in his capacity as Jose, he could make some promises, but he was not qualified to make some promises.
"During this period, you and your brothers will take good care of your care. Leave the things around me to me, so don't think too much about it. When you recover from your injuries, I will take you to negotiate with you."
"Thank you, Mr. Guo."
Gan Hui clasped his fists with gratitude.

From a dignified governor to a prisoner, Jose's life has had great ups and downs.
He never thought that Ming Jun had a backup plan and just shining his back on others like this, it was not unfair to lose.
Under Zheng Chenggong's order, he wrote a letter as soon as possible to send it to his hometown in Spain.
This letter was to be presented to His Majesty the King, so Jose felt more or less embarrassed.
After all, he was the governor of New Spain personally appointed by His Majesty the King. Not only did he fail to defend the colony, he was beaten by the Ming army.
At this time, I would like to write a letter to repeat the situation and tell His Majesty the King. Jose felt that there was no place to put his old face.
But he had to do this. After all, he is now a prisoner and his life is still in Zheng Chenggong's hands.
Zheng Chenggong asked him to go west, but he didn't dare to go east.
He was afraid that he would do something wrong and would make Zheng Chenggong unhappy and thus lose his life.
He wrote the letter tremblingly, and after writing it, he read it carefully, and then handed it to Zheng Chenggong.
Although Zheng Chenggong knew some Spanish, he was not proficient, so he called Liu Chuanjia.
As a translator, the role of Liu Chuanjia was reflected at this time.
He translated Spanish into Chinese word for word and told Zheng Chenggong and others.
After hearing this, Zheng Chenggong made some modifications and asked Liu Chuanjia to translate back to Spanish.
The moment when Liu Chuanjia handed over the modified letter to Jose, Jose's heart skipped a beat.
These words really...
Forget it, he still has the qualifications to negotiate conditions now, so he will follow the order and do as he wants.
He copied it according to the revised letter and then handed it to Zheng Chenggong.
Zheng Chenggong nodded with satisfaction.
"This letter was sent to Europa according to the address he said, and it must be delivered to the King of Spain in person. Before that, Jose was imprisoned in our hands."
After winning a complete victory, Zheng Chenggong was in a good mood. In addition to negotiating with Spain, he did not forget His Majesty's advice.
He immediately ordered people to return to the Ming Dynasty, and drew the route onto the chart, and handed it to His Majesty.
It can be said that this is very different from what His Majesty the Emperor said, but there are only differences in some details.
This made Zheng Chenggong even more moved. His Majesty the Emperor was really predictable.
I just don’t know how the battle situation is in the Western Regions at this moment.
...
...
Under the orders of the Ottoman Sultan, the Ottoman army entered the territory of the Safi Empire with great fanfare.
The Safi Empire was their old rival, and the last failure of the battle did not seriously frustrate the confidence of the Ottoman soldiers.
After all, they still have the overall advantage in terms of historical records.
What's more, this time when the Ottoman Sultan commanded the army, their morale was directly full.
Ming army? Persian army?
Even though they were asked to join forces and let them come over together, if the Ottoman warriors were cowardly, they would hit the pillar and die.
The Ottomans never know what fear is, and they don’t know how to write fear.
This time they have to prove themselves again!
