"Yes! My lord. ”
Huo Qingmiao opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw Zheng Sen's cold eyes, he held back what he wanted to say and answered honestly.
In fact, Huo Qingmiao just wanted to tell him about the difficult description and explain his conditions, worried that he would be punished for the difficult description when he went back.
Because, the conditions prescribed by Zheng Sen are too harsh compared to the conditions that are difficult to describe.
But in the face of Zheng Sen's cold eyes, Huo Qingmiao was still afraid, and honestly returned to the Chiji City, and told Zheng Sen's surrender request to the hard thing.
"Young master, do you really want to accept the surrender of the red-haired ghosts in the city?"
As soon as Huo Qingmiao left, one of the generals behind Zheng Sen couldn't help but ask Zheng Sen out loud.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Sen looked at this subordinate general and asked.
"Young master, in the past three days, more than 700 brothers have been killed in the battle, more than 800 brothers have been injured, and many of them have been hit by the red haired ghost's lead bullet, and they all have to have their limbs amputated.
For the soldiers, they had already hated the red-haired ghosts in the city at this time, how could the young master easily accept their surrender.
According to the idea of his subordinates, he should kill all the red-haired ghosts in the city one by one to avenge our dead and injured soldiers. ”
This Zheng family general was emotional at this time, gritting his teeth and saying, obviously hating the red-haired ghosts.
"Hey!"
Hearing his retainers say this, Zheng Sen also sighed, and he knew that this would be the result.
Immediately, Zheng Sen's gaze swept over the other generals around him and asked, "Do you all think the same way?" ”
Several other Zheng family generals around them also turned around, but they were scolded by Zheng Sen: "All of them are confused." ”
Then, looking at the crowd, he said, "Do you think I don't hate those red-haired ghosts?" But with the lives of just two hundred red-haired ghosts, is it important to have the lives of our own soldiers?
Relying on this fortress, the red-haired ghost attacked for three days and lost more than 1,500 people, but we still haven't been able to defeat it.
At this time, there are at least two hundred red-haired ghosts in the castle who can fight, and if we want to force them into it, we will have to pay the price of at least a thousand casualties.
Is it really worth the price of these thousand soldiers' casualties just to kill those two hundred red-haired ghosts?
Moreover, if the red-haired ghosts in the castle are really in a hurry, if they blow up the castle and burn the castle's food and property before they die, we will lose even more.
That's why I accepted the surrender of the red-haired ghost commander, let them live, and let them surrender on their own initiative at this time, which will also be of great benefit to us.
Perhaps, with the example of these red-haired ghosts in Chiji City taking the initiative to surrender, when we besiege the red-haired ghosts in Anping City in the future, we can also give the red-haired ghosts there some thoughts, so as not to fight to the death. ”
Hearing Zheng Sen's explanation, the generals of the Zheng family around him all came to their senses, and they all admitted their mistakes to Zheng Sen: "The young master is wise, it is my subordinates who are impulsive." ”
"Well, I have to send someone to report the situation here to my father, and I'm sure my father will support my decision."
At this time, as Huo Qingmiao had returned to Chiji City, Zheng Sen did not give the order to attack for the time being, but waited for news from the castle.
"Walter? Did that Zheng family general really say that? ”
At this time, Huo Qingmiao, who had returned to the castle, had already truthfully reported Zheng Sen's words to the descriptive truth.
"Yes, Lord Commander, that General Zheng Xiao is the eldest son of General Zheng Zhilong, and he is also the commander of this attack on our castle, what he said is absolutely valid."
Huo Qingmiao stood respectfully in front of a white man and said in the language of a red-haired ghost.
At this time, his face was gloomy for a while, and he fell into deep thought, while several of his capable generals around him quarreled one after another.
"Commander, the conditions of the Zheng family are too harsh, if you want me to say, we will fight with the Zheng family to the end, even if we die in battle, we will make them pay a heavy price."
A rude-looking, obese red-haired ghost major said fiercely at this time.
But the major's fierce words were immediately refuted by several other red-haired ghost generals around.
"Andrew, you want to die yourself, we won't stop us, but don't drag us into the water. Lao Tzu came here to pan for gold, even if the gold could not be taken away in the end, he would never want to put his life here. ”
A red-haired ghost major said.
"That's right, I agree with Kyle, now that the walls have collapsed, and there are thousands of enemy troops outside the city, our defeat is inevitable.
At this time, if you resist desperately, there is no point anymore, Julie and the child are still waiting for Lao Tzu to go back, and Lao Tzu doesn't want to die here. ”
A red-haired ghost major next to him, with a bandage on his left arm, also spoke out at this time, agreeing with Kyle's words.
"Hmph, you're all afraid of death, a bunch of cowards!" Andrew looked at everyone with contempt and said disdainfully.
"Yes, we are all afraid of death, just you Andrew alone is a big hero, we have wives and children waiting for us to go back, you are alone, no one is sad for you when you die."
"Kyle, what are you talking about!"
When Andrew heard Kyle's words, he was also enraged, and stepped out, glaring at Kyle angrily, and yelling, quite a big fight.
"What, am I saying the wrong thing? If you want to die, go out alone to find Zheng Jiajun and try your best, don't pull the commander and we will die with you. ”
Kyle didn't give in at all, glared at Andrew, and continued.
"Okay, shut up Lao Tzu, you stupid pigs!"
Finally, the description that had been pondering was difficult to describe, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and yelled at everyone.
As the description was difficult to open his mouth, those red-haired ghost generals and Ye were honest one after another.
Immediately, Kyle looked at the hard thing and said, "It's a battle, it's a surrender, and I ask the general to decide, we are willing to follow the general's orders." ”
Kyle said this, naturally he was a little sure in his heart, he was a confidant of the difficult description, and he had long known that yesterday, the description of the difficult ding showed the idea of surrendering.
For them, the high-ranking generals of the Dutch East India Company, they traveled thousands of miles to Ryukyu just for gold, not to expand the country's territory.
Therefore, in their minds, there are only two things that they care about the most, one is their lives, and the other is gold, silver and jewelry.
On weekdays, when they are not worried about their lives, they will try to make money and then hand it home, and they also have wives and children to support at home.
And a lonely man like Andrew, among the red-haired ghost senior generals in Chiji City, is just such a person.
Andrew is an alternative, except for drinking and gambling on weekdays, he never leaves a penny on him, anyway, he is alone.
Most of the high-ranking generals of the red-haired ghost have the same idea as Kyle at this time, and they don't want to fight this battle.
Knowing that if they continued to fight, they would definitely lose, and Zheng Sen even said that if they entered the city, not a single living creature would be spared.
They didn't want to die, even if they killed some of Zheng Sen's soldiers before they died, what was the point to them.
No matter how many enemies you kill, you only have one life, and if you die, you will have nothing, and among these red-haired ghost high-ranking generals, no one wants to die.
At this time, many red-haired ghost generals looked at the depiction and waited for him to speak, and he had to make a decision whether to surrender or not at this time.
"Kyle is right, we have done our best in this battle, and if we continue to fight, it will be difficult to recover the defeat, so why take the lives of our brothers who are still alive.
Therefore, this commander decided, accept the conditions of the Zheng family, and surrender! ”
Outside the city, time passed minute by minute, but nearly half an hour passed, but there was no movement in the city, and even Zheng Sen himself was in a hurry.
"Young master, I think these red-haired ghosts are completely deceiving us, they have no intention of surrendering at all, give the order to attack!"
Someone said to Zheng Sen.
"Well, don't be in a hurry, order the artillery first, and then carry out a round of shelling of the castle, urging these red-haired ghosts, if there is no movement, we will continue to attack."
Although Zheng Sen was anxious, he still didn't want his soldiers to continue to storm the castle, so he decided to warn the red-haired ghost first.
Thundered!
There was a burst of artillery fire, and the Zheng family artillery outside the city carried out a round of artillery bombardment on the Red Embedded City.
"Don't open fire, General Zheng, don't open fire, we surrender!"
Not long after the shelling ended, Huo Qingmiao once again walked out of the castle with a white flag, shouting loudly.
And behind Huo Qingmiao, the gate of the Red Embedded City was not closed this time, and a group of red-haired ghost soldiers walked out after him, holding muskets in their hands.
When the red-haired ghosts marched out of the castle, they threw their muskets to the ground.
The one in the back, riding a horse, wearing a commander's uniform, and an old red-haired ghost in his fifties, that is, he himself also rode a horse and led people to Zheng Sen's side.
"General Zheng, I am the commander of Chichicheng City, I am willing to accept your conditions, lead my troops out of the city to surrender, and hope that the general can keep his promise and give us preferential treatment."
Zheng Sen, who was just eighteen years old in front of him, opened his mouth and said, and at the same time he was very emotional, he was defeated by such a young man.
"General Ding, General Ben accepts your surrender, don't worry, our Zheng family's words count."
In this way, with the surrender of the troops led by the Confession, the Red Embedded City was finally taken down by Zheng Sen, and then Zheng Sen sent troops to garrison the Red Embedded City.
Although the Red Embedded City was partially damaged in the war, most of it was still intact, allowing the Zheng family to gain a perfect stronghold here.
At the same time, the weapons and ammunition, gold, silver, money and food in the castle, as well as many black slaves, all fell into the hands of the Zheng family intact, and were not destroyed by the description.
After all, he chose to surrender, he didn't want to destroy these things before surrendering, that would anger the Zheng family.
Looking at the artillery, muskets, and money of the captured red-haired ghosts in the castle, Zheng Sen also smiled.
Among them, he deliberately walked up to a pile of muskets, picked one up casually, and asked the man who was beside him: "General Murmur, is this your kind of musket that can shoot without an arquebus?" ”
"Yes, General Zheng Xiao, this batch of muskets was also sent half a year ago, it is the most advanced musket in our country, using flint to ignite, instead of the fire rope, we call it 'flintlock pistol'."
After he surrendered, Zheng Sen kept his promise and treated them well, which also made him feel relieved.
"Flintlock pistol, I remember that in Count Lee's army, there seemed to be a musket like this that could be fired without an arquebus."
Zheng Sen muttered in a low voice.
"Yes, young master. Count Lee's army did use muskets similar to this one, and it was with such muskets that Count Lee defeated the powerful Tartar soldiers.
It's a pity that Count Li covered this musket too tightly, and he didn't even give face to the court and the saints, and he didn't have the slightest intention of shedding this musket.
The general had also sent people secretly in Jiangbei to collect information about this musket, but in the end, these people would disappear for no reason.
Obviously, those people were poisoned by Count Lee, so until now, we don't know anything about this musket. ”
A guard next to Zheng Sen also said this to Zheng Sen at this time.
"Yes, this flintlock pistol is much easier to use than the bird guns we use, it's a big killing weapon, and if I had this killing weapon in my hand, I wouldn't have released it.
Unexpectedly, now this flintlock pistol has also fallen into the hands of my Zheng family, go, find a place to try this flintlock pistol. ”
At this time, Zheng Sen's eyes were deep, revealing irrepressible excitement, holding the flintlock pistol in his hand, reluctant to let go.
You must know why Li Zixiao's army is so strong, and sharp firearms are one of their biggest battles.
Now that Zheng Sen has also obtained this flintlock pistol, if it can be equipped in the Zheng family's army, it is enough to increase the combat effectiveness of their army by a large margin, how can Zheng Sen be unhappy!
"General Zheng Xiao, you just said that you have a general here, and it seems that there has been this kind of flintlock pistol before? That's simply not possible.
This flintlock pistol was just popularized in our country last year, and this batch of flintlock pistols should be the first batch to flow into your place.
No one will pour this flintlock pistol on you until then, and the general of your country will never have this flintlock pistol in his hand. ”
Describing the difficulty of Ding followed behind Zheng Sen and the others, and said so.
"Oh? Really? Although I don't know if the musket in Count Lee's hand is the same flintlock pistol as yours.
But it was no secret that Count Lee had in his possession a musket that did not use an arquebus.
Is it necessary for this musket to be passed down from you, and no one on our side can study it himself? ”
"You guys? No way! ”
After hearing Zheng Sen's words, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head and said.
Zheng Sen, of course, noticed the trace of contempt in his eyes, and understood what he meant by this, and he clearly thought that they couldn't make this kind of flintlock pistol.
