Chapter 761 Benefits of Equality Treaty

Can the Ming people still attack the shore?

Of course not!

Even Gan Hui had no idea of ​​attacking the shore at all.

What is the "gunboat policy"?

Simply put, it's...shocking him!

Almost while fighting back on the shore, Gan Hui put down his telescope and ordered him.

"Rise the signal flag and fight back!"

The sailors who had just finished their meal were busy again. They pulled the artillery carts back. The two of them carried the bullet-to-mile tongs in groups and carried the shells weighing up to 100 kilograms to the muzzle. The moment the shells were stuffed into the muzzle, the bomb pusher on the side pushed the shells into the chamber with a soft bullet rod.

"put!"

Accompanied by a roar, the roar of the cannon tore through the tranquility between heaven and earth, and the shock wave from the muzzle caused ripples on the sea surface.

In the thick smoke and flames, shells roared onto the land. For Seyf I and Prince Seyed who were on the fortress, they did not know what the Ming army's shelling meant. They just stood there as hard as before, as if this was a symbol of courage.

This is the case with other Ariba Sultanate generals and soldiers. The tribal warriors who came out of the desert never knew what retreat was, either living or dead.

God will bless them!

When shells come roaring, no one knows what will happen next. In their perception, shells... are just iron lumps.

As for the previous explosion at sea, it must be the incendiary bomb that led to the powder barrel. Why did the ship sink when it hits? It must be that the ship is not strong enough... In short, people always have their own views on unfamiliar things. They will not understand without a deep experience.

Finally, the shells came, but the people on the city wall did not wait for the rocks that collapsed, but ushered in a violent explosion. In the violent explosion, steel fragments roared and flew in all directions, and the twisted fragments hit people's bodies, tearing their limbs to pieces like sharp blades. Many people didn't even come to figure out what was going on, and disappeared directly into the shock wave of the explosion.

After a round of artillery attacks, the fortresses were covered with blood and blood. The officers and soldiers of the Sultanate of the Ariba who had waved scimitars and gestured gestures and men in the city were stunned by the bombing. They didn't even understand what was going on.

Although there are already explosive bombs in this era, few people use them. After all, compared with the shrapnel of the bomb, the multiple bounces and shotguns that are formed when the solid bomb lands are better. But they had thought that the Ming army's instant fuse shells would be so cruel.

Facing hundreds of wounded people lying in pools of blood and struggling in pools of blood, Seyf was stunned. He stood there, looking at the wounded people lying on the ground like a fool, and even with a broken arm in front of him.

What's going on?

Prince Seyed was shocked and could not speak for a long time. It was not until he saw the fleet at sea firing another cannon that he hurriedly threw his father to the ground.

"Take it off quickly!"

In the war with the Portuguese, he also encountered bombs. Although they were not very powerful, he also knew how to avoid them.

But in just a moment, smoke rose from the city walls. In the violent explosion, buildings were blown down one after another, and even the magnificent palace was bombarded by a critical strike. The people who once waved the scimitar arrogance had long forgotten the courage, and they all ran away with their heads in their arms.

Taking advantage of the interruption of the shelling, the newly converted Portuguese gunners fled backwards and tried to leave the gun position, but the soldiers of the Ariba Sultanate who were escorting the formation behind them rushed forward without hesitation, waving a scimitar to cut down a row of people, and for a moment the ground was full of his heads with his eyes closed.

"No retreat is allowed, whoever retreats will die."

Facing the tribal warriors who were like wolves and tigers, the unarmed Portuguese gunners had to return to the gun position in fear. Just as they loaded gunpowder and shells into the cannon, a new round of artillery bombs came again. In the violent explosion, some of the gunshots were directly blown into the air, and even detonated the gunpowder barrels on the city wall. In the midst of the earth-shaking explosions, part of the city wall was blown down.

Seyf I, who was lying on the ground, had already come back to his soul. After many battles, he immediately felt the gap in strength between the two sides. He almost yelled and issued an order.

"Quick, send a messenger to tell the Ming people that we are willing to negotiate..."

Willing to compensate them for their losses...

Even the most stubborn people will make relatively wise choices after being beaten.

Amid the rolling smoke, a white flag was raised.

After seeing the white flag, Gan Hui was stunned.

"He, they surrendered so quickly? Could it be that they are lying to us?"

Didn’t you resist so aggressively before?

Gan Hui even thought about how the envoy of the Sultanate of Ariba came over and accused the Ming of unreasonableness, demanded the Ming Dynasty to withdraw its troops, and how he arrogantly told them that if they did not retreat, waiting for them would be destruction.

But why did you surrender now?

This is too fast!

In fact, this is not fast. In another time and space, the Angsam War Samba Jier was another country separated from the Sultanate of Ariba. The Sultan also came from the Sultanate of Ariba. In fact, for decades, in order to save Samba Jier, the hen that laid golden eggs for him, the Sultanate of Ariba Jier, moved the capital to him.

At that time, in order to force Samba to stop the slave trade in an entirely manner, and of course to compete for the sphere of influence, Britain declared war on Samba to Er. The war lasted only 40 minutes in total, and the Sultan of Bagashi ordered surrender. It maintained the record of the shortest-lasting war.

I don’t know whether the so-called Bedouin tribe warriors are brave or not. Anyway, they surrender... they are quite fast.

"Is there a fraud?"

"Admiral, they don't have the courage!"

Ding Yun sneered.

"Besides, even if they are cheated, where can they go? At worst, just blow it up again!"

"Stop the shelling!"

Putting down the telescope and saying.

"After all, shells are quite expensive,"

The shells are quite expensive, so they have to be asked to compensate for military expenses. This money cannot be paid by the Ming Dynasty.

“Admiral,”

Ding Yun asked again,

"Even if the negotiating envoy of the Sultanate of Ariba is coming, should we prepare a treaty?"

"treaty?"

After blinking his eyes, Gan Hui asked back.

"What treaty?"

It's an unequal treaty!

Although Gan Hui can be regarded as the pioneer of the Ming Dynasty's "gunboat policy", he was about to advance from a naval admiral to a colonialist, a gunboat operator, a butcher and executioner of the people of the Third World, and he still didn't know about the unequal treaty, which was really a consequence of not learning.

"It is a treaty signed with a country that is not the Ming Dynasty vassal!"

Ding Yun said seriously,

"Although this is not a habit of our Celestial Empire, in Tang State, this is how the Tang State did it. After fighting with Ma Dalan, they forced them to sign a "Si Shui Treaty", forcing Ma Dalan to ced a large area of ​​land, and Ping State also signed one. I heard that Nantianmen also signed a treaty with Aceh recently. Anyway, it was nothing more than cede land and compensation, and also to protect the Ming Shang."

“Since everyone has done this,”

Gan Hui waved his hand and said,

"Then let's prepare one too?"

After thinking about it, he said again:

"However, how do you do this treaty?"

"Simple!"

Ding Yun took the words and said,

"When I was cruising in Nanyang, I once read the "Subashi Treaty" signed by Tang and Madalan. I still remember the general content. Let's copy one, add some content, and ask them to sign it directly! Moreover, with this treaty, they compensate us for military expenses, which is what they voluntarily compensated, not what we insist on. Even if someone talks about it in the newspaper in the future, with this equal and voluntary treaty, they can't say anything!"
Chapter completed!
