"We should go and negotiate with those Orientals! Once they start besieging the city, we'll lose a lot! ”

"The Easterners threw so many troops into it, so likely to agree to negotiate ?! Unless we surrender. ”

"Surrender? No way! ”

"I ask you all to take a hard look at it! The armies of the Orientals are not natives of the Spice Islands! ”

"I can't beat it! All of them were musketeers, and there were at least a hundred pieces of artillery! How long do you think we'll be able to hold out here? ”

"The castle of Geranza is extremely strong. The artillery of the Orientals is not large, and it is not our opponent in terms of range and power estimates. Without artillery support, we were able to hold out until reinforcements from headquarters arrived. ”

"Reinforcements? Stop dreaming! Don't you see the terrifying fleets of those Easterners on the open sea? Not to mention that most of the company's mobile warships on the Spice Islands have been buried in Jiaozhou Bay. Even if all the company's ships are gathered and rushed here, they will definitely not be the opponents of those sea monsters! If we can't break the naval blockade, it doesn't make sense for us to hold out at the castle of Geranza for as long as we can! ”

At the colonial assessment meeting, the words of the magistrate just now made the lively and noisy conference room quiet in an instant. This is the most important point in this war. If you can't defeat the naval fleet of the Ming Empire, it doesn't make sense for the castle to hold on for a long time! Although there are plenty of reserves, there will be a day when they will be exhausted!

“...... We need a decent negotiation. The colonial treasurer of Dayuan Island swallowed his saliva with some difficulty, his eyes were complicated, and he said with his hands trembling slightly.

Now the Dutch are facing a very unfavourable situation, and they will have to pay a lot of money to negotiate. According to the prevailing law of this era, a large amount of compensation is absolutely indispensable. As a financial officer who is extremely sensitive to wealth, he can imagine his mood at the moment.

"What are our requirements? Or rather. What's the bottom line? Cat, who was also inclined to negotiate, knocked on the table in front of him and asked loudly.

The colonial officials who attended the meeting were silent. These people are not fools either. The Ming Empire on the opposite side sent such a large elite army and navy force here, and the plan must be not small.

In fact, these people can vaguely understand in their hearts that the intention of the Ming Empire should be to completely take away this rich island!

"We can pay for a fee. In other words, a lease fee can be paid to the Ming Empire every year. As long as we can continue to control Formosa. The bearded finance officer gave a bottom line that the vast majority of people agreed with.

"I can't make any guarantees." The cat sighed softly and stood up. He looked at the participants on both sides of the table with complicated expressions. "As a magistrate, I can negotiate with the enemy." But I can't guarantee any results. ”

After a pause, the cat looked out the window with a complicated expression, and whispered, "Because our enemies are too strong." They have become so strong that we can't ask for anything. This negotiation can only be a prayer. ”

......

"Negotiations?" Gao Yang, who had just returned to the barracks from dinner in modern time and space. He was surprised to learn that the castle of Geranza had sent negotiators from the opposite side.

"Words from the Chinese teacher." Huang Degong, who was in charge of all military affairs, bowed his hand and said with a strange face: "The red-haired devils have sent a local magistrate surnamed Mao to negotiate, which should be similar to my position as a county magistrate in Daming." The subordinate did not dare to speak falsely, so he came to report to the national teacher. ”

"Interesting." Gao Yang, who was sitting in the chair, raised his hand and pinched his chin, and laughed inexplicably. After a slight sigh, he said indifferently, "Call him in." ”

Even in the Europa continent, which is generally not tall in this era, it is still difficult to bite a little short cat, and when he walked into Gao Yang's Chinese army tent, Gao Yang still raised his eyelids in some surprise. Even if it was just a visual inspection, Gao Yang could conclude that he was only a little more than one meter and six at most.

Disheveled flaxen hair. Lush untrimmed beard. A somewhat weirdly heavy outfit, and those azure eyes. A typical Europa.

"I do not accept any form of negotiation other than unconditional surrender." Before the solemn-looking cat could say the words of greeting, Gao Yang blocked all the illusions of the Dutch with an indifferent word.

There was an embarrassing silence.

Huang Degong and the guards in the military tent stood aside expressionlessly. Cat Nan Ding and his entourage were ugly and a little overwhelmed.

Negotiation. Negotiation. Before the talks began, Gao Yang had already made the final verdict on the negotiation.

"Your Excellency." A moment later, it was the blue-eyed magistrate who broke the embarrassing silence.

In a burst of extremely sincere words, Mao Nanshi said: "There is a memorandum of understanding between the East India Company and your country. We voluntarily gave up the Penghu Islands, and your country agreed that we should occupy Formosa. What you're doing now. It's been a violation of our previous agreement. ”

For Mao Nan Ding, who doesn't have any big names in his hand, he can only use this ancient trick when negotiating.

"Oh." Gao Yang nodded casually, and the corners of his mouth outlined a faint chuckle, "I know." ”

The cat is hard to shake and rejoice. He coughed slightly, and was about to say something more. Gao Yang's next words kicked back the joy that had just surged in his heart.

"But I don't recognize that agreement now." Gao Yang's voice was calm and calm.

A simple sentence made the Dutch completely dumbfounded. This minister with a heavy army actually said that he did not admit it!

"Your Excellency!" Mao Nan Shiding, who was able to speak awkward Chinese, was obviously a little anxious, and he stepped forward, trying to show the anger and anxiety in his heart. But he was frightened back by the sabers drawn by the guards on the side.

Gao Yang waved his hand and motioned for the guards to step away.

He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the obviously angry magistrate with a calm look in his eyes. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his voice gradually turned cold, "This kind of thing is agreed, but it is weaker in strength." Or maybe it's just a piece of paper written down when it's almost the same. I have an absolute advantage now, what do I have to negotiate with you? Doesn't that make me look like I'm not intelligent? ”

"But, sir!" The anxious cat could hardly cry out: "Your country is a country of etiquette! The gentleman wants, wants, wants to swing. "It's hard for him to be able to say such things.

"Huh." Gao Yang smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, okay." I didn't learn the words well, and I still said a sentence. In the face of national interests, everything is nonsense. Not to mention that it's just a piece of paper. ”

After a pause, he continued, "Now surrender unconditionally." I can allow the women and children and the clergy among you to leave by boat. ”

"What about the others?" One of the attachés who was difficult to bite couldn't help but say loudly.

Gao Yang raised his eyebrows, glanced at the mouthy attaché coldly, and said indifferently, "Everyone else is armed and prisoners of war. Twenty years of hard labor will be required on the island to atone for the sins you have committed over the years. ”

It's not a negotiation at all! It's more like a verdict!

"Whew~~~" Mao Nanshi breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Gao Yang with extremely complicated eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "The East India Company will never sit idly by!" Our reinforcements will arrive soon! ”

"Perhaps." Gao Yang waved his hand indifferently. Sit back in your chair, cross your legs, and fiddle with your nails a little leisurely. With a calm face, he said, "Anyway, if you don't come, I'm going to Batavia too." What kind of treatment did the Han people there have? I'm going to pay it back a hundredfold. ”

Gao Yang's words made Mao Nan Ding and his attachés shiver involuntarily!

What terrible things the East India Company had done to those industrious Han people, these people knew very well in their hearts!

Slaughter! Grab! Endless!

Every once in a while there is an organized mass killing. While killing those Han people, he robbed the precious wealth created by those hard-working Han people. After that, a group of piglets were plundered from the continent and continued to repeat the previous thing. The same as the Spaniards in the Philippines did!

If such bloody words are only spoken by incapable people, they are just the distant barking of defeated dogs.

However, if it is the general in front of him who says such a thing, he has a heavy army. That would represent a brutal and bloody large-scale war!

"Go ahead." Gao Yang waved his hand casually, as if driving away a disturbing fly, "Give a clear reply before sunrise tomorrow." Otherwise, you will automatically give up your last chance. No one will be forgiven. ”

The ugly-looking cat wanted to say something more, and the guards in the military tent had already gone up and set them all up!

Look at the backs of these people who are unwilling to leave. Gao Yang moved the corners of his mouth, and muttered in a low voice with an inexplicable expression, "I don't know what to say." ”

In front of the interests of Chiguoguo. What kind of agreement to talk about? Gao Yang is not a big turban who reads books and has a bad head. He can't give up his lizi for the sake of face!

The long, silent night passed. While the far east was turning red, the Dutch in the castle of Geranza did not move or react.

Naturally, Gao Yang could not wait any longer. Soon, a large-scale siege battle will begin.

After the sky is bright. The New Army sergeants, who had a sumptuous wartime breakfast, opened the barracks doors. Under the horrified gaze of the Dutch inside the castle of Geranza, cannon after cannon was launched.

In this time and space, what could have more power than a cannon? Whoever has more cannons will have more power!

And at this time, Gao Yang will use his own hands, the heaviest voice in the world, to tell the Dutch the strongest voice from the ancient empire of the East!
