The priest was immediately equipped with him. So he said goodbye to Governor Cohen and them, and walked towards the city gate with a white flag.

The priest cautiously walked to the city gate, and shouted a few words outside the city gate, until he saw someone looking at him outside the city gate, he waved the white flag in his hand, and walked slowly outside.

As soon as he reached the city gate, a soldier grabbed him by the arm and dragged him to the city gate, followed by a series of questions.

However, the priest did not know Chinese, so he could only raise his finger and point to the white flag in his hand. The soldiers, of course, understood the meaning of the white flag, so an officer immediately ordered two soldiers to lead the man to the rear.

The priest was relieved to see that the soldiers did not kill him immediately, and followed the soldiers straight to the place where the group had gathered.

The priest saw Liu Pei's iconic red goggles from a distance. He immediately drew a cross for himself and prayed a few more words before moving on.

When he got closer, he raised his arm at the signal of his guards, and allowed the guards to search his body before he was allowed to approach Liu Pei. As soon as he approached the crowd, before the priest could speak, Liu Peixian laughed and said, "Mr. priest, we meet again!" It seems that there is still a lot of fate between us! ”

The interpreter translated Liu Pei's words to the priest. The priest nodded and said, "You're right, it's definitely God's arrangement. ”

Liu Pei waved his hand and said, "Don't discuss the question of God yet. Let me guess, were you sent out to negotiate by the city people again? ”

Liu Pei's words sparked a burst of laughter from the surrounding officers and guards. Everyone looked at the priest with great interest and wanted to hear what he had to say.

The priest already knew that his life was not in danger at this time, so he let go of his nervousness and said, "That's right, Your Excellency the Dragon King. Things are always so unfortunate, and I was indeed sent to negotiate. By the way, if the negotiations are over, can I come back to you? ”

Liu Pei and the people around him laughed again. Everyone knows what the priest means by this. Because he wants to save his life. This was said when he was in the city of Geranza. Now that he had said it again, it seemed that he did not have a good premonition about the future of Batavia either.

Liu Pei finished laughing and said, "Of course you can." And I can give you a chance to negotiate. But only if all the people in the castle surrender, walk out of the castle, and assemble in my prisoner camp. Of course, I will treat the nobles and officers accordingly. ”

The priest shook his head sadly and said, "Your Excellency the Dragon King, where is there any chance to negotiate after entering your captive camp?" You might as well just say let us surrender, so why lie to me? ”

Liu Pei said seriously: "Father, I didn't lie to you. When I say give you a chance to negotiate, I give you a chance to negotiate. Of course, the conditions will be very harsh. ”

The priest blinked desperately to show that he didn't understand. Liu Pei waved his hand and said, "It seems that you don't understand the twists and turns in this. All you have to do is go back and repeat what I said to Governor Cohen. Also tell him that he has an hour to think about it. As soon as the time passes, I will attack! Then there will be no negotiations. Only the prisoner camp remains! ”

The priest was sure he heard correctly, the Red-Eyed Dragon King had indeed given them a chance to negotiate. immediately drew a cross, said goodbye to Liu Peitunming, and hurriedly walked back.

When he walked into the castle and saw Governor Cohen, he told Liu Pei exactly what he had communicated. Finally, he said, "Your Excellency, although I do not understand what he means, I can assure you that every word I say is correct. ”

Governor Cohen ignored the priest's words, but bowed his head and pondered. The officers looked at each other for some reason, and then turned their gaze back to Governor Cohen. But Governor Cohen always had a thoughtful look on his face.

Governor Cohen was not a mere colonist or pirate. He has a deep political literacy. He was keenly aware of the meaning of Liu Pei's words. If he had been such a simple man, he would not have been able to be the governor of an overseas colony.

The meaning of Liu Pei's words is already obvious. Even the bottom line of the negotiations was drawn. Now Governor Cohen is thinking about how much sincerity there is in Liu Pei's words?

In fact, Liu Pei's meaning is very simple, that is, war is war, and business is business. Liu Pei needs territory and minerals in Southeast Asia

source and population to serve him. But he also needs to trade with the West.

After thinking for a long time, Governor Cohen finally raised his head and said, "Order the soldiers to line up out of the castle and lay down their weapons!" Including those armed civilians. Then let them take over the castle! ”

One of the officers said eagerly, "Your Excellency, the promises of those pirates may not be trusted. Let's talk to them about whether we can keep our weapons and evacuate! ”

Governor Cohen smiled wryly and said, "Is there anything else we can do?" Look at the people out there, they still have at least 3,000 of them! And we don't even have more than 1,000 people here to pick up guns! If the gates and walls were still in our hands, I would still have the determination to give it a go, but now ......, forget it! ”

The officer looked behind him at the soldiers, who were only a few. Most of them are more or less clothed. The sticks inflicted few wounds, but the natives picked up the soldiers' weapons to fight, and that's how they wounded.

And the eyes of those soldiers were also dim. They are also veterans who have been fighting for many years, and of course they know that the current situation is hopeless. So after 40 minutes, the Dutch soldiers walked out of the city gates under the guidance of the priest.

As soon as they walked out of the city gate, they took off their weapons and threw them on the side of the gate. Then under the guidance of Liu Pei's soldiers, they assembled on the other side of the city gate.

When all the soldiers had gone out of the gates, Governor Cohen walked out of the gates with a group of officers and civilians. Governor Cohen even changed his clothes! So the interpreter immediately recognized him as the leader of a group of people.

The interpreter stepped forward and said, "You're Governor Cohen, aren't you?" ”

After receiving an affirmative answer from Governor Cohen, the interpreter said: "Our great boss has invited you to meet you at the camp. ”

Governor Cohen pointed to the people behind him and said, "Then how do they arrange it?" ”

The interpreter said: "Their resting places have also been arranged, and they are all in the camp. ”

After speaking, the interpreter pointed to the soldiers beside him and said, "These soldiers will take them to rest." Rest assured, Mr. Governor, they will be treated decently. ”
