Chapter 1049: Recovering Taiwan Island (2)

（1049）

[Today's second update is delivered! ] 】

"Dear Anita, are you really willing to leave here?"

Putman lying on a wicker chair,.

He was originally tall and burly, and the tone of his voice was like a long-standing resentful woman. If you don't see him, you might be mesmerized by his voice. In the past, there have been some jokes. Someone came up to tease the Governor without seeing the real person's face, and as a result, he was miserably abused.

"Mr. Governor, it's useless to talk too much, let's hurry up!"

Anita frowned and said with a helpless sigh.

Putman slowly stood up and walked to the next room. He quietly looked at everything in the room, his eyes looking very obsessed. It's like looking at your newborn child, or a beautiful girl who has just taken off her clothes. For a long, long time, he didn't come back to his senses. Even if Anita was reminding him softly.

Inside the room, there are large packed wooden boxes. Inside the wooden box, all of them are the wealth that Putman has accumulated. These riches include gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, ivory, coral, jade carvings, and so on. There is a wide range of varieties. If it is converted into silver, it is worth at least 500,000 taels.

500,000 taels of silver. Such a amount, back in the Netherlands, can be regarded as a small rich. These were all accumulated by him in the short period of time he served as the governor of Taiwan. Even in the Netherlands, there is no way to amass so much wealth in such a short period of time.

If the Dutch had not been defeated and all maritime trade had gone smoothly, he believed that in the next five years he would have increased his personal fortune to more than one and a half million taels of silver. What a number! Enough for his family, do nothing, and live comfortably for ten lifetimes.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, there was a gunshot heard.

"Big things are not good!"

The captain of the guard hurried in.

Both Putman and Anita were slightly startled.

Someone shoots? What's going on? Is it the Tiger Army?

Fortunately, the gunshots only rang out once, and then they didn't go out again. Come to think of it, there should have been some small-scale riots outside, and it wasn't the Tiger Ben Army who killed them. However, Formosa, which had always been calm, actually rang out gunshots. This fully shows that the situation is already a little out of control. The anxiety of everyone to leave Formosa has also reached the extreme.

The captain of the guard said with a nervous expression: "Mr. Governor, Mr. Anita, some soldiers and sailors can't wait to go back to Batavia......"

Anita frowned and asked, "Who's putting the gun?" ”

The captain of the guard said nervously, "Everyone wants to leave quickly...... They wanted to fight for the ships and force their way out...... But Mr. Governor's order that no one should leave, and the result was ...... The gendarmes had no choice but to fire warning shots......"

Putman's brow finally furrowed slowly. The order not to leave Formosa was indeed given by him. The Dutch on Formosa could no longer run around like a swarm, and they had to leave in an organized manner. Putman subconsciously sensed that the warships of the Tiger Army Navy had been ambushed on the escape route of Formosa. If the Dutchmen of Formosa had fled for their lives like this, they would have crashed headlong into the ambush circle of the Tiger Army, and they did not know how they died. In the middle of the sea, it is much more dangerous than in Formosa.

Anita was about to speak, when suddenly, there was a cacophony of human voices and dense footsteps. Through the window, you can vaguely see outside, a large group of sailors and soldiers rushing over. In their hands, they all had muskets or swords. Almost without thinking, Anita immediately crouched behind the table and pulled out her short firebolt at the same time.

"Mr. Governor, they ...... Rushed over......"

The face of the captain of the guard suddenly changed.

"Bastard!"

"Do you want to die?"

Putman was anxious and angry, and his face instantly turned red.

These guys dare to storm the Governor's Mansion with weapons, they are really impatient. He was a soldier and later became the governor of Formosa, so he was still a bit bold. He grabbed the saber on the table, strode out, stood on the steps, and shouted, "Bastard! Stop! What are you going to do? ”

Those Dutch sailors and soldiers, still in awe of the Governor, did not dare to mess around in the face of his prestige. They lowered their weapons and stopped the noise. A junior officer came up, saluted Putman, and said excitedly, "Mr. Governor, we want to know if Batavia will send someone to support us?" We want to know the truth! We wonder, Batavia, will abandon us! ”

Another officer also came up and said with the same excitement: "Mr. Governor, my wife, the child will be born next month!" I want to see my kids! You tell me, can I go back to Batavia? Can I see my wife and children? ”

The other soldiers and sailors also shouted in a big voice. Their excuses are all sorts of things, and they say everything. In fact, the most fundamental reason is that it is too dangerous to stay in Formosa. God knows, when will the Tiger Army attack?

In the absence of reinforcements, if you are attacked by the Tiger Army, there is only one way to die! The Tiger Ben army even conquered Japan, a Formosa, not at all under their word. Now there are less than 3,000 Dutchmen in Formosa!

"We're going back!"

"We're leaving Formosa!"

"Let's not stay here and die!"

The excited sailors and soldiers shouted one after another.

For the time being, they still maintained their respect for Putman, the sword was unsheathed, and the muzzle of the musket was also pointed at the ground. However, no one could guarantee that if they were provoked, they would not be against Putman. Under heavy pressure, people's psychology has begun to slowly distort, and they may make some irrational behaviors.

Putman certainly understands this. He couldn't anger these people in front of him. The saber in his hand also slowly drooped down. However, he did not answer any questions. Because, he knew very well, Batavia would not send reinforcements to arrive. As the governor of Formosa, Putman was well aware of the style of operation at the top.

However, he could not elaborate on the matter directly. Otherwise, the angry soldiers, after returning to Batavia, would have to go to trouble the top management of the Dutch East India Company. As Dutch governor in Formosa, he had to keep it a secret. Of course, the emotions of angry soldiers and sailors, too, must be understood.

"Mr. Governor......"

Anita said softly.

Putman silently turned around and slipped his sword back into his waist.

Anita quietly nodded to the *** sailors and soldiers. What Putman meant, he had understood. That is to let these people in front of them run away on their own. Whether or not they can go back to Batavia depends on their respective luck.

After making such a gesture, Anita herself was also quite emotional. He was well aware that in the short term, to be exact, within a year, Batavia would not have the strength to reinforce Formosa. In one year, enough time for the Dutch on Formosa to turn all into bones. Therefore, everyone must fend for themselves and must run out as soon as possible.

"Let's go!"

The sailors and soldiers immediately cheered.

They immediately left the Doge's Palace and ran wildly in the direction of the docks.

Overjoyed, they took their families and carried the goods they usually collected, and hurriedly loaded them onto the ship. The gendarmes guarding the pier also joined the ranks of the flives. For a while, the entire chicken coop port wharf was full of chaotic people. Many of them are women and children. Some of the servants also ran away with their masters.

It's finally time to leave this damn place, and the surviving Dutchmen are very happy. They carried all the wealth they had acquired in Formosa to the ship and prepared to leave. The port, which usually looks large, is extremely crowded due to the large number of people and supplies gathered. Some even had fierce clashes over the position of the ships.

"Brother and sister, look, what is that?"

"What a boat!"

Suddenly, the crisp voice of a little doll screamed.

Some sensitive Dutchmen hurriedly followed the little doll's line of sight. It's okay not to look at it, but it's hard to see it. I only saw that outside the port, a dense number of warships suddenly appeared. In the beginning, there were more than a dozen. Later, dozens of them. Later, there were hundreds. Almost everyone's line of sight is completely occupied.

"What's that?"

"Oh my God! Lots of warships! ”

"Yes...... Battleships of the Tiger Navy! ”

The Dutch in the harbor shouted in amazement.

"Oops!"

"It's over!"

Countless screams rang out.

Oh, my God! The battleship of the Tiger Army Navy has appeared!

Oh, my God! There are so many warships in the Tiger Army Navy!

Oh, my God! At the most critical time, the Tiger Ben Navy happened to be killed!

"Quick! Get ready for battle! ”

Some of the Dutch, who were quick to react, hurriedly roared.

However, their voices have basically no effect. Even if someone heard it, there was no reaction. Because, everyone is busy retreating, many people still have wives and children, and everyone is crowded on the ships in the port. How to fight in such a situation? Fighting with a wife and children?

Since the warships were all sent to participate in the battle against the Tiger Ben Navy, these ships in the port of Jilong Harbor were all armed merchant ships of the captured Zheng family's fleet, and the Lala cargo was okay, and if they wanted to use it for battle, they couldn't count on it. The cannons of some armed merchant ships have been dismantled in order to load more supplies.

Many people threw away muskets and swords when they got on the ship. Are you going to run for your life back to Batavia, and what are you doing with heavy weapons? As for the weapons of the watchtower, they were all disposed of on the spot. Since the Dutch are preparing to leave Formosa, they can't leave all the weapons in the fortress intact to the Tiger Army!

Besides, who is coming? It's the Tiger Navy! It is the Tiger Army Navy that defeated the main fleet of the Dutch Navy led by Rezger! Others can even defeat Rezger, and they still care about dozens of small broken ships like you? The combined warships of the ten Jilong Harbor ports are no match for the Tiger Ben Navy!

I have to say that the time when the Tiger Ben Navy appeared was indeed too vicious. How could it have appeared at this juncture? The Dutch just wanted to flee for their lives before the arrival of the Tiger Navy. However, who would have thought that the Tiger Ben Army would come so quickly? The beautiful girl, who had just taken off her clothes, met a ferocious pervert. What will happen, you say?

"Tiger Army......

Putman's face suddenly turned pale,

He didn't expect that the Tiger Army's attack on Formosa would be launched so quickly. He wanted to fight back, but found that he had no chance to fight back. The whole of Formosa was basically disarmed by that group of damn bastards.

The arrival of the Tiger Ben Navy warship was very fast and very skillful. As soon as they approached the chicken coop harbor, they immediately formed a fan-shaped attack queue. All the cannon windows have been opened. All cannons are in a state of firing at any time. With more than 3,000 pieces of artillery, Jilong Harbor can be destroyed at any time.

Several transports, under the cover of battleships, forced their way into the harbor and leaned against the trestle. The springboard was lowered, and the heavily armed Huben Army marines forcibly landed. These Marines are none other than the newly formed Swordfish Battalion and Catfish Battalion. In less than half an hour, two battalions and 3,000 Huben marines all went ashore smoothly.

They quickly occupied all the watchtowers and commanding heights of Chicken Coop Harbor. They also controlled all Dutch buildings. The weapons discarded by the Dutch were also pooled together. The Governor's Palace, where Putman was located, was also surrounded to the brim.

During the whole process, there was no gunfire. No one resisted. In the face of the absolutely strong Tiger Army, all the Dutch soldiers and sailors did not resist. According to the request of the Tiger Ben soldiers, they all obediently raised their hands, hugged the back of their heads, and then squatted on the ground and were not allowed to move.

Idiots know that if they resist at this time, the only end is to be slaughtered. The Tiger Army has thousands of artillery pieces and thousands of army soldiers, where are they the opponents of the Tiger Army? In the event of a conflict, the consequences can be imagined.

Driven by her duties, Anita reluctantly raised her hands and slowly stepped forward. As he walked, he shouted: "Don't shoot, don't shoot, we surrender...... Where is your commander? I want to see your commander! ”

Several Tiger soldiers came up, armed with bayonets, and searched him for him, and when they were sure that there was no weapon, they took him to the vicinity of the port. Fang He and the others were already waiting for him here. None of them spoke, though. Matters related to Formosa are handled by special personnel. They are only responsible for fighting.

"Mr. Anita, we meet again."

In the team of the Tiger Army, someone sneered softly and said.

"It's ...... you"

Anita smiled wordlessly, not knowing what to say.

The person who greeted him was none other than the previous Tiger Ben Army negotiator, Xiong Wencan. At the beginning, the negotiations broke down, and Xiong Wencan was expelled from Formosa. However, only more than three months have passed, and Xiong Wencan is back again, still as a winner. There is a proverb in the East that says that thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, but Xiong Wencan does not need thirty years at all.

Xiong Wencan's current identity is certainly not a negotiating envoy. He was the first governor of Taiwan appointed by Chang Zhun. Now, I have officially come up to my own jurisdiction and handled the relevant handover work. Seeing Anita's wry smile, Xiong Wencan's smile became even brighter.

"Our Tiger Army was ordered to take over Formosa, do you have any opinions?"

Xiong Wencan smiled and said intentionally or unintentionally.

"No Comments......"

Anita's face turned blue and white for a while, and she said hesitantly.

Can he be without an opinion? His opinion is more. Who wants to hand over the beautiful and rich Formosa! As long as there is the slightest possibility, Anita refuses. However, when he saw that the number of the Tiger Army had exceeded 3,000 ashore, he had no opinion. In this era, power is politics, and fists are the truth. The Tiger Ben soldiers were so numerous that they didn't need to shoot at all, but they were stabbed to death with bayonets.

Xiong Wencan took a breath of air relaxedly, raised his head to look at the blue sky and white clouds, and said comfortably: "By the way, Mr. Anita, I forgot to tell you." Our Lord Governor said that from now on, this place will no longer be called Formosa, but will be called the island of Taiwan. From now on, you should call this the island of Taiwan. ”

Anita didn't care if this was Formosa or the island of Taiwan, he just wanted to know quickly what the Tiger Army would do with them. He was confident that the Tiger Army would not slaughter them all. However, it is still possible to kill one or two big shots. Anita certainly doesn't want to be one of those big guys. He said, "Dear Bear, can we get out of here alive?" ”

Xiong Wencan said lightly: "Yes." ”

Anita was overjoyed.

As long as you can leave, everything else will be easy.

However, Xiong Wencan continued slowly: "However, Lord Du Du said that except for your lives, nothing else can be taken away." ”

Anita's face became even more ugly, and she said with a sad face: "What does this mean? ”

Xiong Wencan looked at Anita, then at the other people's big bags and small bags, and said slowly: "Lord Du means that Mr. Anita, you can't take away all the belongings, including your clothes. If you want to leave, please take off your clothes. ”

Anita was furious and said, "You're insulting me!" ”

Xiong Wencan said coldly: "I'm sorry, this is the Governor himself, I have to do it." Otherwise, the Governor will have to ask me questions. ”

Anita froze.

Insults!

What an insult!

I actually want him to go back naked!

When did the Dutch receive such an insult?

"Think about it slowly!"

"If you want to go, take off your clothes!"

"Otherwise, no one will be allowed to leave the island of Taiwan!"

Xiong Wencan sneered slightly, ignored the angry Anita, and turned to leave.

Over there, the frightened Dutch had long been controlled by the wolf-like Tiger soldiers. In their sight, there are more Tiger Ben soldiers, who are coming ashore in a steady stream. The careful Dutch calculated that the army that had already landed on the Tiger Ben army numbered at least five thousand people. And no one knows how many Tiger Ben troops have not yet landed.

In the face of such a heavy army of the Tiger Army, there are only less than 3,000 Dutch, and less than 1,000 combatants, where is there a chance to resist? In the face of absolute power, all the Dutch can only tremble. Soon after, many Dutch people were glad they had made a wise choice. Because, there are 20,000 soldiers of the Tiger Army who have come ashore!

That's right, 20,000 people!

This is just the soldiers of the Tiger Army's landing!

If you add the sailors of the Tiger Army Navy, there are at least 50,000 people!

"It's not human!"

Anita thought angrily, frustrated.

Zhang Zhun's shot is indeed too frightening. The Dutch defenders of Formosa had less than 3,000 men, and the Tiger Army actually dispatched 20,000 troops, field artillery battalions, and more than 200 warships! This is a blatant bully of the Dutch population!

Even Anita had such angry thoughts, not to mention the rest of the Dutch. There are so many Dutch people that their eyes don't move at all. My God, where did the Tiger Army go to find so many people! I feel that the people of Mingguo are like ants, and they are a lot of them when they catch them, and they don't need to cost at all!

It is simply terrifying to fight with such a country. Many Dutchmen swore that if they could return alive this time, they would never fight against the Ming Kingdom again. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to fight at least seven or eight people in the Ming Kingdom by yourself.

In the end, of course, none of the Dutch chose to leave with a stripe of stripes. It's ugly. They all obediently became prisoners of the Tiger Army. In the coming days, many farms or workshops on the island of Taiwan will have their presence. Until, the Tiger Army and the Dutch reached an agreement that they could be ransomed.

"There are too many of you!"

"I protest! We should be fighting fairly! ”

In the face of the 20,000 troops of the Tiger Army, the Dutch governor in Formosa Putman also raised his hands stupidly.

Three thousand against twenty thousand, only a madman would do that. Above the governor's residence, the Dutch flag fluttering above Putman's residence was replaced by the flag of the Tiger Army. After laying down his arms, he was given better courtesy and could be detained in solitary confinement. It is said that in the near future, he will also be able to meet Zhang Zhun. Zhang Zhun is definitely going to inspect the island of Taiwan.

Sitting in Puttman's office, Xiong Wencan didn't look at the boxes, so he drafted a report to Zhang Zhun: "...... Successfully landed on the island...... No Fighting...... Putman surrenders...... Two thousand seven hundred and sixty-four Dutch were captured......"
