The leading soldier responsible for the exploration mission reported that no Francois were found in the church.
The entire church had been controlled by the Ming army.
After a search, everyone found that a brief fight seemed to have occurred here.
However, one party was quickly subdued by the other, and it did not turn into a large-scale fight.
When Yang Chengzu arrived, he could only see some broken stained glass and some blood stains that had not been wiped off in time.
The statue of the Virgin Mary had fallen to the ground.
She probably left in a hurry, or maybe she did it on purpose.
The Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers still lacked understanding of these foreign gods at this time, and most of them regarded them as silver temples.
It was not surprising that they pushed them away after seeing them.
Yang Chengzu stepped forward and helped the statue up, then put his hands together and performed a Buddhist salute.
"You see clearly, it was not our people who brought you down, so don't hold it against us.
You are staying well in your country, but you have to fly across the sea to cause trouble on other people's land.
It's raining and you can't even stand still.
Why bother?
It's not a good idea for everyone to live their own lives and make a fortune in silence.
You should follow you.
Say something to your disciples and grandchildren, let them chant sutras and burn incense in their own country, and bow to you if they have nothing to do.
When they go to other people's land, they can believe in other people's gods and abide by other people's rules.
That would be a pity. , I guess you barbarians don’t understand this principle, so you have to learn it slowly.
I hope you still have a chance to change your mind.”
The officer in charge of the search came back to report that some gold and silver had indeed been found in the church, but the total was not too much.
There were also a lot of silver bars and gold coins scattered on the ground, probably accidentally scattered during transportation.
It can be seen that the movers are very warehouse-like and do not bother to pick up the fallen items.
"So, they did move more treasures to the castle.
This church is actually a good place.
If you stick to the risk, although it is not as good as the castle, it can still last for several rounds.
The most important thing is, A priest and a commander-in-chief, two people, one in charge of the soldiers and one in charge of worshiping the gods, are all crowded into the same castle.
Why are you so boring?
There is still action here, which proves that someone seems to be unwilling to merge with this.
Maybe the commander kidnapped the priest.
Although we don't get much loot, it is always a good sign to win here without any blood. , As long as the money doesn't fly out of the island, it belongs to us.
Send me an order to block Tuen Mun and continue to suppress the bandits."
The entire church had been vacated, serving as a temporary command location.
On the way here, Wang Hong had already seen the relief of the Virgin stepping on the dragon's head, and was about to order the soldiers to smash it down, but was stopped by Yang Chengzu.
At this time, he asked with some confusion: "That sculpture is evidence of Fo Yi's crime.
Why does the imperial envoy keep it?"
"No, I don't want to keep them, but I want them to smash it themselves.
They repaired this thing, and we smash it for them.
Isn't it a good thing to be free labor for them?
Whoever repairs it will smash it.
We don't care.
Not only will the sculpture be destroyed, but the entire church will also be destroyed by their own hands.
Demolish it.
Who asked them to build a church on the territory of the Ming Dynasty without our approval?
I heard that many Ming people who came to the island have joined the Yi religion.

Compared with the victory and defeat of several battles, In fact, it’s more of a problem.
How can Ming people believe in foreign religions?
If we do, we must believe in our own.”
Wang Hong was a Confucian disciple, and he was also not interested in Portuguese religion.
Yang Chengzu's words were in line with his thoughts.
He nodded and said: "The imperial envoy is very knowledgeable.
We read the books of sages and learned the principles of life.
If we all went to worship the barbarians God, should we learn the principles of the barbarians?
This church will surely be demolished sooner or later.
But now this city, How should we fight?
It's not that Cen Meng didn't use his strength today, but even if all his wolf soldiers are killed, I'm afraid they won't be able to rush into the city.
As for the other troops, I don't think they will be much better.
Otherwise, they will just.
We can make some siege equipment here, but just because of the appearance of the city, even if our equipment is completed, it may not be really useful. " Although he has never attacked such a city, he has good eyesight.
Even if he builds things like rams and trebuchets, there is no good way to deal with such a city.
In the end, we may still have to go to the most primitive step, rope climbing and ant attachment.
Even if we take the city, the casualties will probably be frighteningly high.
Yang Chengzu shook his head, "We can make some siege equipment.
We have so many craftsmen.
Making these things is not a problem, but there is no need to actually use them for fighting.
In my opinion, even if they are used, they may not really be of much use."
However, the barbarians saw through the reality.
These barbarian cannons could be pushed out and fired at the city.
Fortunately, we have captured a lot of gunpowder, so we just let the men practice artillery skills.
We will wait and wait for a while, and send people to spread the wind, saying that the imperial court is buying rice, grain and water at high prices.
Those who transport supplies to Tuen Mun can get five times the usual reward.
Let’s see who can still hold up our supplies.”
The gentry and wealthy people in the city were caught off guard by the army.
They didn't even send the letter, and most of Tuen Mun was already lost.
If the fight continues here, the best way for those people is to block the supplies of the official army.
Although this method is traditional, it is indeed effective.
As long as there is a problem with the supply of the official army and the siege of the castle cannot be maintained, it will be defeated in the end.
Furthermore, it is easy for people to find excuses for keeping troops under a fortified city for a long time.
The teacher has no merit, and charges such as wasting money on the teacher are thrown at him.
The officer in charge will either settle the matter or attack blindly.
No matter what kind of response, it can only be regarded as a move, and in the end, a good move will turn into a bad move.
Wang Hong knew that Yang Chengzu had brought a large sum of silver with him.
Such lavish words were indeed worthy of his words, but with such a large army, the daily expenses were definitely an astonishing amount.
He couldn't help but frown and calculate, "Even at the usual price, the money and food spent is already staggering, if it is five times the amount."
"Mr.
Chengzhai, you are confused for a moment.
It doesn't matter five times or ten times.
As long as this island is taken back and we collect taxes, we can recover the capital.
Besides, we don't have to stay here for too long.
Compared with us, I I think the barbarians in the castle will probably not be able to bear it.

As long as we adopt the posture of a long-term siege, they will definitely have to worry first."
The rations and water rations in the castle were even stricter, including salt and wine.
The quartermaster in charge of logistics began to weigh all the materials separately, calculated the precise weight, and then classified them according to race, gender and head.
Calculating everyone's quota.
Treti still looked like a shy nun, standing next to Perez as if she were his personal secretary.
"Perez, I need to know how much supplies we have."
"We have plenty of supplies.
Even if the Ming Dynasty never retreats, we can still spend a rich Christmas here.
And their army is too huge.
I don't think this empire can maintain the supplies of so many troops.
By then They will definitely be the first to retreat, this island is still ours.”
"No, this island is not ours.
What we got is just a cursed land on the sea.
Being besieged to Christmas Island, do you think any fool would come to such a place to do business?
Don't forget us.
As I said, we need to negotiate.”
"Yes, we need to negotiate, but not now.
Okay, sir, you did a good job in this class.
I hope the next class will still be energetic.
As you can see, they all began to obey my orders and regard me, the priest, as their commander.
The officials have looked at it.
Okay, I know that we really should negotiate with Ming Dynasty.
I am not Bartolok.
I have no intention of becoming the governor of the Far East.
But I am.
What we can get from negotiating now is a noose.
Only after the Ming army pays a sufficient price to make them realize that this is an invincible fortress will they really sit down and talk.
You remember we were in Bavaria.
Let’s make them suffer first, then give them the rewards, and then we can become friends.
We want to show those soldiers of the empire how powerful they are.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the rumble of cannons sounded, and the attack on the fortress seemed to have begun
