649 Lessons in Blood and Tears
When Garon heard this, he hurriedly asked, "If I go to persuade me to surrender, can I go back to Batavia?" Will they be able to return to Batavia with dignity? ”
His words, naturally, He Bin translated them on the side.
When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he sneered and said, "Your life and death will be decided by the emperor." How can it be so cheap, if you surrender, you can put it back! ”
When He Bin heard this, he translated it again, and at the same time emphasized to him what Zheng Chenggong had said before, that is, if Jia Long went to persuade him to surrender, it would only increase the chance of survival.
When Garon heard this, he immediately shouted: "You can't treat the captives like this, we have already surrendered......"
This time, without He Bin's translation, Zheng Chenggong knew that he had no good words, so he turned around and left, and at the same time ordered: "Let the Taiwanese people who perform the best escort them and go to Chiji City with Ben General." ”
The Taiwanese people who performed the best were naturally the ones who hated the Dutch devils the most. If they were escorted, you can imagine what they would do to these Dutch devils.
He Bin on the side agreed, turned his head and instructed the Taiwanese people waiting on the side to tell them Zheng Chenggong's military order, of course, and at the same time advised: "These Hongyi will be escorted to Beijing in the end and sacrificed to the emperor." You can't be killed, other than that, it's up to you! ”
When those Taiwanese people heard this, they were immediately overjoyed, and they were of course the most happy to have the opportunity to repay part of their blood debts. Therefore, they thanked Zheng Chenggong one by one.
When Jia Long and the others saw this scene, although they didn't know what they said, they could see one or two things from their expressions, and they suddenly panicked, and hurriedly shouted at Zheng Chenggong: "This general, I am willing to make meritorious contributions; Noble generals, villains are willing to persuade them to surrender, villains are willing to serve generals......"
However, Zheng Chenggong ignored them, turned on his horse, and walked away with Zheng Hongkui and others.
Seeing this situation, He Bin on the side said to Garon: "Don't talk in vain, the adults have already given you a chance, but you didn't seize it." ”
"......" When Jia Long heard this, he was speechless, and when he saw the Taiwanese people surrounding him, his eyes were full of anger, and he felt that his back was cold.
Zheng Chenggong actually means this, for these Hongyi, they dare to come to Daming to be a blessing and prestige, and it is already good to give them a chance.
If it hadn't been decided from the beginning that he would have offered prisoners to the emperor, he wouldn't have bothered to talk to these Hongyi, learn from the practice of the Jingshi, and directly let the people of Taiwan clean them up, maybe there will be some names such as hoe rape street on the Taiwan side, and these original people will be more grateful to the imperial court, which will facilitate the establishment of counties by the imperial court in the future.
Regarding this, Emperor Chongzhen once said that after conquering Taiwan, counties will be set up and under the jurisdiction of Fujian Province. After there are many people in the future, it will be promoted to a house. The Fujian Navy will set up a base here, which can overlook the South Seas.
He thought so, and talked and laughed with Zheng Hongkui and others. It took one day to conquer Taiwan, saving a lot of money and grain. As for the casualties, they are also within acceptable ranges, so to speak, everything is going well, which makes them all feel unusually happy.
I heard Zheng Chenggong say to these generals on the side: "I have been to worship the martyrs' shrine of Jingshi, and most of them are soldiers who died for the country. The soldiers who died in this battle, according to the emperor's previous regulations, can also enter the martyrs' shrine. You don't know, the incense of the Martyrs' Shrine is very vigorous, and the people of Beijing will be grateful to Dade. Even the first thing that the people of Gyeonggi must do when they enter the capital division is to go to the martyrs' shrine to worship the martyrs. ”
Hearing this, Zheng Hongkui and the others were pleasantly surprised. Of course, they had heard about the establishment of the Martyrs' Shrine in Jingshi from official channels. However, I haven't seen it specifically, and the imagination of this martyr's shrine can only be based on their knowledge, and there is no past reference, so I think that the memorial service of those soldiers who died in battle is just how many people will go.
Now as soon as Zheng Chenggong said it, Zheng Hongkui immediately said: "When we have the opportunity to go to Beijing in the future, this Ming Martyrs' Shrine must also go." ”
"Of course, maybe we'll all be in there in the future, so how can we not go and take a look!"
"This incense is vigorous, the brother who died in battle can be regarded as having an explanation, and the spirit of heaven should also be gratifying."
"It's really good that the imperial court is doing this, I can guarantee that the brothers will definitely not be afraid of death in the future!"
“……”
Those who can enter the Ming Martyrs' Shrine are the Ming martyrs recognized by the imperial court, not only will they always enjoy the incense of the Ming people, but their families can also enjoy a generation of corresponding pensions, and they will have no worries about fighting for the country in the future.
In this way, after the war was won, Zheng Chenggong was relaxed, and he told them what Jingshi had seen and heard along the way. From the beginning, it was related to themselves, and later, they talked about the natural knowledge of the Jingshi, the emperor's teachings, the invention of the crown prince, the craftsman title, and so on.
These sea men who are far away in Fujian have heard so many unexpected things, and they have all heard them with relish. Whether it was so many measures of the emperor, or the crown prince's title of master, and so many strange things in Jingshi, they were all very surprised and very interested.
Speaking of later, everyone who heard it had an unprecedented yearning for Jingshi, and they all wanted to go to Jingshi to have a look. As a result, many people have eyed the opportunity to go to Beijing to sacrifice prisoners.
Talking and chatting, the officers and men of the Ming army, from the guerrillas in Fujian's coastal defense, down to the ordinary soldiers, and even the Taiwanese people who came with the army, all looked relaxed, talking and laughing, as if they were not going to fight, but to go on an outing.
When they arrived at the Chichi City, they joined the Ming army besieging Hongyi, and suddenly, the Ming soldiers on this side, plus the people of Taiwan, could be said to be a sea of people, but the number of people was enough to frighten the Hongyi in the Chichi City and panic.
In the end, a group of Taiwanese people escorted Jia Long and other leaders to the front of the battle to show the public, and then, He Bin shouted forward: "You all listen, the city of Geranza has been broken, these leaders of yours have been captured alive, and the general has ordered you to immediately lay down your arms and surrender unconditionally, otherwise, when the city is broken, it will be your death!" ”
The sound of guns and cannons on the side of the city of Geranza, after it calmed down yesterday, the Dutch devils here basically knew that the city of Geranza was afraid that it would be defeated by the Ming army. However, such a strong city was defeated by the Ming army in just one day, and they felt incredible. Therefore, for whatever reason, they were fantasizing that it was the city of Geranza that repelled the attack of the Ming army, and that those who had returned to Batavia from Nagasaki had already reported to Batavia, and that reinforcements would definitely come to their rescue at that time.
But now, Garon and the others are escorted in front of them, and all illusions are shattered. Compared with the city of Geranza, this red city in terms of defense, not only has fewer troops, but also the defense of the city is worse, and now there are a sea of enemies outside, even if these Dutch devils are stupid and bold, they also understand that the red city alone will never be able to defend.
Without the leader of the defenders of Chichicheng City, those desperate Dutch devils threw away their weapons one after another, and explained what they wanted to do with practical actions.
Seeing this, he sighed deeply. He is considered an old qualified colonist, all the way east, they have bullied the local natives, and even for other colonists, they are also shouting and killing. But now, in this Far East, it has been destroyed by these Orientals.
Thinking of this, I finally had a lesson of blood and tears: this Far Eastern Empire is not comparable to the natives of other places after all, and I used to think that these Orientals were just like this, but now I understand that it is not that these Orientals are just like this, but that they didn't care about it before. Now that I'm really working hard, this is how my side ends.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered a previous fact, that is, just one pirate from the East could defeat them and surrender them, shrink to the side of Taiwan, and pay money to this pirate to buy the order flag. Doesn't this just show how strong this great empire of the East is!
If I had known that this was the case, I should not have come to this great empire in the Far East, and even if I had to come, it would have been a regular business from the beginning. Just like those Portuguese, befriending the officials of this empire and gaining favor, isn't this different from doing business and making money!
But now, it's all over for now. He sighed deeply, like an afterthought, made a formality, and ordered the door to surrender, hoping that for the sake of the intuitive surrender here, the Ming army could treat them a little bit well and save a small life!
At this point, after Zheng Chenggong went south, it took more than a month to prepare, and then it only took two days before and after, and he successively conquered the stronghold of the Dutch devils in Taiwan, recovered the whole of Taiwan, and returned to the rule of the Ming Dynasty. This is far better than the original history, which took nearly a year, killed and wounded a large number of soldiers, and finally used the method of siege to expel the Dutch devils!
In the original history, the Dutch devils were unwilling to be expelled, and sent a fleet to attack Taiwan with the Manchu Division of the Qing Clan.
However, one thing that the Dutch devils didn't expect was that they helped the Manchus and reoccupied Keelung, Taiwan. As a result, the Manchu Qing Dynasty implemented the most severe policy of banning the sea, and also moved all the coastal fishermen to the interior, with the result that the income of the Dutch devils in Taiwan was far less than their expenses, and finally they had no choice but to withdraw.
As for this plane, the Dutch devils in Taiwan were escorted into Beijing and did not have a chance to make a comeback. As for what the Batavia side thinks and moves, it's up to them to choose.
