Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 965 Don't Shoot

"Haha, it's so happy, it's so happy!" A fat man shouted excitedly, regardless of the sweat on his head, "I captured three Spaniards by myself, haha! You really didn't see that these people usually wear big tails The wolf, so high above me, he knelt down and surrendered when he saw me!"

"Raff, they didn't surrender to you, they surrendered to them!" Ludkinfu also said with a smile, while pointing his fingers at the Portuguese and Daming sailors who were escorting the Spanish captives.

Following the gaze of his fingers, Laf immediately turned his attention, and greeted Portuguese and Daming sailors enthusiastically: "Hello, I love you all so much!"

The Daming sailor couldn't understand, but he could feel their awakened mood, so he smiled faintly.

When the Portuguese sailors heard it, they grinned and shouted, "Why are you still standing there? Her Royal Highness is back, why don't you go to greet her?"

When they saw Daming's warships and sailors, many people already had guesses.It's just that I was busy catching the Spaniards and those Portuguese traitors before, so I didn't take care of it for a while.At this time, when they heard it, they all shouted excitedly, and hurriedly ran towards the port to greet each other.

Not only Raff and Luther King, but also other Portuguese who got the news, and even those who hid in the house at the beginning, after hearing the news, they ran back and forth towards the port one after another.Just like a small stream, it finally converges into a river and rushes to the port along the streets and alleys.

However, when the crowd was approaching the port, they were suddenly stopped by the sailors here.The soldiers of the Ming army did not move. It was the Portuguese sailors who were talking, checking whether they had any firearms before letting them go.

Most people understand this.For example, Raff took out a flintlock pistol on his own initiative.He said before that he would die with the Spaniards, relying on this flintlock he hid.

When we arrived at the port, we saw the flag representing the Portuguese royal family. Surrounded by a group of Ming army generals, there was indeed a young woman with blond hair and blue eyes beside an older Ming army general.

To be honest, at this time, most Lisians no longer recognize Princess Catherine who was once a little girl.However, this did not prevent them from affirming at first glance that the young blonde woman was definitely Princess Catherine.

"Let me tell you, I have seen Her Royal Highness Catherine several times when I was a child. No, I recognized it at a glance. It is Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine who brought the Ming army to avenge her!"

"That's up to you, even if I haven't seen it before. But take a look, it's graceful and luxurious, with an extraordinary temperament, and it looks like Her Royal Highness at first glance!"

"..."

While they were talking excitedly, Catherine stepped onto the ground and stepped onto the land of Lisbon.As soon as she landed on the shore, she knelt down, leaned down, and kissed the land deeply.

The soldiers of the Ming army looked at this, and although they felt a little dirty, they could understand her feelings when they thought of the experience of the princess, so they mostly sympathized with her, and didn't have any special thoughts.

After seeing this scene, the Portuguese who came to welcome them all felt that Catherine loved this land deeply. Immediately, their hearts to welcome Princess Catherine reached an extreme.

In the crowd, Raff rushed out suddenly.Breaking through the cordon, ran towards Catherine.

Ludkinfu on the side didn't hold back, and shouted in fright: "Raff, come back quickly, don't be misunderstood!"

It would be too wronged if he was suspected of being an assassin and killed in public.

But Raff didn't hear it at all, and continued to run away.

The two Portuguese sailors who were blocked by the conflict immediately became anxious when they saw it, and hurriedly chased after them.

The guards and other generals behind Zheng Zhilong, of course, noticed that someone was running towards this side.Responding immediately, they stopped in front of Zheng Zhilong and Catherine. Some held the handle of the knife and could draw it out at any time;

"Your Highness, Your Royal Highness, it's me, it's me, don't shoot..." Raff shouted, waving his hands and running, "I'm Raff, I'm Raff..."

He didn't understand, but it didn't prevent Zheng Zhilong from feeling that this should be Catherine's acquaintance, so he turned to look at her.

Sure enough, after seeing Catherine who had stood up for a moment, surprise appeared on her face.It seemed that after thinking about it for a while, he fixed his eyes on the fat man who ran over for a while.

At this time, Raff was stopped by two captains of Jin Yiwei who were on guard to meet him.They are responsible for protecting the princess, no matter whether they understand or not, there should be no accidents.

Seeing this, Lafu didn't dare to move forward. He quickly stood up, stroked his hair back quickly, and continued to shout: "Your Highness, I am Lafu. I am in charge of selling Ming porcelain. I even hugged you when I was a child!"

"Uncle Ralph? Is it really you?" After being reminded by him, Catherine finally remembered, and she couldn't help but said in the same pleasant surprise.

After she finished speaking, she saw that Captain Jin Yiwei was still blocking Lafu, so she quickly switched to Daming official language to explain, and at the same time walked over quickly and asked, "Uncle Lafu, are you okay?"

"Okay, okay! I didn't expect to see Her Royal Highness again, it's so great!" Rafe replied almost in a crying tone.

Lutherkin over there just happened to be able to hear their conversation.He was also happy, and said to the people around him: "That fat man, my friend, used to have a good relationship with the palace, you can tell from the fact that he is fat."

After saying this, without waiting for the reaction of the people around him, he held a trumpet shape in his hand and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, Ralph said today that he will die with the Spaniards, and he is dead!"

Hearing this, Raff knew who was shouting without turning his head, and he ignored it, just looked at Catherine and grinned.

After hearing this, Catherine thought of something, and asked Raff, "Uncle Raff, do you know how my father and my two younger brothers died?"

Hearing this, Raff recalled the past, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said angrily: "There is no problem at all for Lisbon to persevere, it is the group of British royalists who betrayed Lisbon and opened the city. Not to mention, they also ambushed His Royal Highness and the others at the port. They even offered His Royal Highness's head to the King of Spain... woo woo woo..."

At this point, he couldn't continue, and thought of what happened to him afterwards, it was really unbearable to look back on, and he couldn't help crying.

Catherine didn't say a word. When she heard that her father's head was dedicated to the King of Spain, she didn't faint with a loud cry, but gritted her teeth, obviously hating it.

"Where are those murderers now?" Catherine interrupted Raff's cry with hatred.

During this process, Zheng Zhilong didn't say a word, just watched from behind as the princess recognized her hometown.But there was an interpreter beside him, translating for him in a low voice.

After hearing this, he finally understood that the reason why the king did not escape was because of an inner ghost.This kind of thing has really happened a lot, and it is difficult to guard against.

While he was thinking about this, Raff had already replied to Catherine: "They got half of Lisbon's property, and then went to France, trying to recruit mercenaries there to fight back to England. But since the year before last, the whole of Europe began to discuss They want to jointly deal with the Ming Empire, so the relationship between Britain and European countries has been eased, they can't recruit people, and they are not welcomed by other European countries, so I don't know where they are going now!"

After hearing this, Catherine gritted her teeth with hatred, and said sharply: "We must find them, and they will be ashes!"

Raff listened, of course he agreed.

After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong interrupted and said, "Your Highness, you have already returned to Lisbon, so don't rush things. Take a good rest and take care of yourself. There will be opportunities in the future!"

Although Catherine was very angry, she was still a smart person, especially after going to Daming for so many years, her independent life has tempered her even more.Hearing Zheng Zhilong's words at this time, he quickly suppressed the resentment in his heart, agreed immediately, and then said: "The commander has worked hard for Portugal's affairs. Let's enter the palace now!"

Although Zheng Zhilong is only the chief soldier at the moment, Catherine knows that with Zheng Zhilong's contribution, he will definitely be knighted.Now it is an expedition to Europe, and when it returns to Daming, it will definitely go further.

There is also Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Chenggong, who is even more valued by Emperor Chongzhen.Not to mention, now she still has to rely on Zheng Zhilong.Therefore, she was very polite to Zheng Zhilong.

Afterwards, both Catherine and Zheng Zhilong were busy.

Catherine is mainly concerned with Lisbon's livelihood issues, while Zheng Zhilong is concerned with Lisbon's defense and the operation of the entire fleet.

It's been said from the very beginning.Recover Lisbon first, and wait for other places.Although the fleet that came this time is huge, there are only more than 1000 real warships, and the others are transport ships, including gunpowder, grain and grass, etc., all of which must be considered when there is no supply here.

An important task now is to prevent possible counterattacks by the Spaniards.Of course, after this side is stabilized, the fleet will attack and sweep across the coast of Europe.

Just like that, the news that Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine led the huge Ming Fleet back quickly spread from Lisbon.Other towns that originally belonged to Portugal fell like a boulder into a dead pool.Portuguese everywhere were encouraged to either flee to Lisbon or attack the local Spaniards.

The Spaniards were also frightened when they heard the exaggerated news after passing it several times.The urgent call for help flew to Madrid, the capital of Spain, like snowflakes.
