Chapter 894: The governor against the sky
It turned out that Alonso, the governor of Malacca City, meant that he was willing to hand over Malacca City, but the Chinese had to give him a good price, otherwise he would ruin the city!
If they don't agree, they will fight to the end, and everything in the city will be destroyed on the day the city is broken!
Destroy cannons and guns; burn food, materials and (wooden or thatched) houses, destroy (bricks) houses, etc., store wealth in landfills, so that the Chinese cannot find...
"What you will get is a dead city, and you will get nothing but death!" Mehanrazhi said confidently.
Cabot said in amazement: "I'm tortured, I was the first time I heard that someone wanted to surrender and surrendered so terribly!"
"Wakao" and "Niu b" are buzzwords spread by leaders.
The Chinese looked at each other and had to obey!
"This is surrender? This is to be an uncle!"
Cabot went to see official Hong Xi and relayed the conditions of the governor.
The first condition is to ensure the safety of his life and the safety of his surrendered Hong Maofan and his private property, and to send them out of the country as a gift so that they can return to the land of Christ.
The Southeast Army treats captives preferentially. As long as the surrenders do not react, the safety of their lives is guaranteed.
As for the inviolability of private property, it is hard to say. At most, captives are allowed to bring personal property.
They lost the battle, leaving enough life to save face, and wanting to take away a cart of belongings? !
It's not that there is no room for negotiation. There are preferential treatments for nobles and upper-class people, and you can agree to it.
As for the gift to send Hong Maofan prisoners out of the country, generally, if you want to leave, you can just pay a ransom.
If you don't pay the ransom, you usually have to work to create the ransom, but it is not impossible to open the net.
Then Cabot talked about condition two: "We still have to give the Governor 100,000 silver dollars as a city charge!"
It seems that official Hong Xi's lack of experience, he was dumbfounded, and was overwhelmed by the red hair fan who got into Qian's eyes.
Official Hong Xi hesitantly said: "It's really incredible, doesn't he understand their current plight? We are winning, they are at a disadvantage?"
"They understand!" Cabot conveyed the envoy's meaning, saying that the 100,000 silver dollars was not what the Governor-General wanted, but because after discarding the city, he returned to China and used it to bribe the ruling party in order to avoid the cost of the unfortunate ending!
"Hoho, I'm here for reimbursement!" Hong Xiguan sneered, "Do I look like a fool?"
Cabot spread his hands and said honestly: "Perhaps he really thinks so!"
He asked: "How should we reply to the governor?"
"The siege is almost the New Year. We have to present the New Year's gift and seize the city as soon as possible. Okay, promise him!" Hong Xiguan nodded.
"Give him one hundred thousand silver dollars?" Cabot asked.
"That's right." Official Hong Xi said affirmatively.
"He's crazy, and you too..." Cabot asked hesitantly.
"He's crazy, I'm not crazy!" Hong Xiguan said impatiently and waved away.
"These 100,000 silver dollars, Commander, do you plan to do it yourself?" Cabot did not move, and continued to ask.
To know such expenditure, not to mention that the Audit Office of the Ministry of Finance cannot pass the test, even the Military Ministry will not approve him!
"Where can I get a hundred thousand silver dollars, even if I have it, it is impossible to give it to him!" Hong Xiguan shouted.
"No wonder the Prime Minister said that you are mature, really!" Cabot understood and said bluntly.
Cabot didn't pay the military salute, but bowed his hands to show his admiration and went out.
...
The two sides signed a treaty, the Governor of the Rambutan gave the city of Malacca intact. The Chinese guaranteed the safety of his life and the safety of his and the surrendered Rambutan and his personal properties were not violated, and gifted them out of the country.
As for the letter of commitment to the Governor of 100,000 silver dollars, it is not in the contract, but a private agreement. After all, Alonso wants to save face.
After the treaty was exchanged, Mehanrazhi returned to the city, and one day later, Hong Maofan offered the city as promised.
The 6th team of the Southeast Army is stationed in the city and the fort!
As Hong Maofan said, they handed over the territory to the Chinese intact, and the Hong Maofan people almost all looked like they were full of bags. Some people carried gold and silver that were too heavy to walk!
The city of Malacca controls the strait. There are many ships passing by and there are many opportunities to make money.
The belongings of the dead colleagues fell into the hands of the survivors.
The state-owned public property of Malacca City was swallowed by senior officials!
The governor, with a personal guard of more than fifty people, stayed in the governor’s mansion, waiting for the Chinese to give him one hundred thousand silver dollars!
The results of it?
The next day Zhu Hong Maofan got news that Alonso, the former governor of Malacca City, died of a sudden illness!
Upon hearing this news, the red-faced red-haired fans who had defeated the battle were silent!
"We are very sorry to have such a thing, and we feel that we have lost a friend. According to our Chinese, when we are about to go home, he is blessed!" A naturalized man who speaks fluent Portuguese The foreigner said solemnly: "We will hold a great funeral for him, and bury him there, you can see him off!"
The foreign translator refers to Paul Hill Road in Malacca City: "The Feng Shui here is very good~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It is right for Lord Alonso!"
The surrounding Southeast Army, heavily armed, looked at the red hair fan, and it seemed that they could not go.
So all the ramblings attended Alonso’s funeral, which was held in the famous St. Paul’s Church, which was built in 1521 AD and has a history of hundreds of years.
Alonso's corpse was lying in a coffin made of high-quality nanmu, wearing a good gown, holding his hands upright and still, his face calm (pasted him with powder and oiled).
The abbe presided over the funeral. He was wearing a black robe rusted with white money, and a black shawl underneath it seemed to be wrapped around a barrel hoop.
The church deacon's face was flushed. He was a big drunkard. He was also dressed in black clothes and a black robe embroidered with money. He was holding a cross, very beautiful, and his stomach was like a pig.
The chanter is a tall and slender man, and he carries the incense burner.
"Holy Lord, reliable holy Lord, eternal holy Lord..."
"He has returned to the embrace of the Holy Lord!..."
Threads of bluish cigarettes were lingering, the women covered their mouths and whimpered, and the red-haired officers and soldiers exchanged glances absent-mindedly. They did not show the Governor's guard!
People came forward to express their grief. The representative of the Southeast Army was Cabot. His eyes were red (stimulated by hot pepper) and his voice was sad. On behalf of the Southeast Army, he expressed deep condolences to Alonso and extended sincere greetings to his family. !
Led by the clergy, eight red-haired soldiers carried the coffin out of the church, and the people followed behind to send the Governor-General for the last time.
His cemetery is very good, with a green dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right.
When he was buried, the Southeast Army also fired three rows of guns for him. The ceremony was grand!
