After listening to this, Gusman squinted his eyes and looked at Delgado for a long time, and finally said slowly: "It seems that you won't play for the Spanish Kingdom in the future, right? Delgado ...... Or do you already have other Han Chinese names that you have to spare?"

"My lord, it's good for both of us to do this, after all, we don't want to lose our lives in this place, right?" Perhaps because things were already done, Delgado didn't grovel to Guersman as much as he used to, and his tone had a hint of toughness.

Guersman was not angry when he heard this, but asked him another question: "Delgado, what good did the Haihan people promise you besides your life? Money or land? Do you think they can keep your promise?"

"They didn't promise me any benefits, but maybe I could get the opportunity to do something I've always wanted to do. Delgado stared at Gusman's face and said, "My lord, I am not like you, money and land are not necessities for me. You can't give me what I want. ”

Gusman really didn't understand what Delgado meant, but the two sides were about to part ways, and he didn't want to get to the bottom of such inconsequential details. Now being able to leave this place of right and wrong safely is Gusman's first priority. As for Delgado's future and even his life and death, Gusman is not so interested in continuing to pay attention.

The defenders of the city cleared the stones blocking the passage at the city gate overnight, and the next day as soon as it was dark, the gate opened a crack, and Delgado walked out of the city and walked to Haihan's position. A moment later, a bonfire was lit outside the Haihan position, which was a signal agreed by both sides, indicating that the defenders in the city could leave the city and surrender.

Sun Zhen's platoon was also fortunate to take on the surrender mission, and under the leadership of the officer, it trotted all the way to the gate of Santo Domingo. As part of the surrender ceremony, they were required to receive the defenders' weapons and equipment at the city gates. Of course, this is also a necessary means to show off force to the opponent.

Takahashi Minami originally wanted to come forward to surrender in person, but his officers advised him not to come forward, first, for safety reasons, to avoid the Spaniards jumping over the wall in a hurry, and secondly, for such a small stronghold fortress, if the battalion commander was to come forward to surrender, wouldn't it be a disguised elevation of the enemy's identity. Takahashi Minami is about to come forward to surrender here, so what will happen to the city of El Salvador in the future that hits Chicken Coop Harbor?

Takahashi Minami thought about it reasonably, so he directly appointed one of his company commanders to take charge of this matter, while he himself sat in the rear to observe the situation. If the Spaniards weren't so honest, Takahashi Minami wouldn't mind killing a wave of people here to stand up for himself.

Surrounded by his personal guard, Gusman was the first to walk out of the castle gates. It is worth mentioning that after Gusman took command of the city, the personal guard, who had defected to the military, voluntarily returned to his side to be dispatched. And Gusman also re-accepted his guards as if nothing had happened, after all, the group of people brought by Delgado were all Luzon natives, so they could only do some dirty work, and it was definitely not okay to act as a façade, and Gusman couldn't afford to lose that face.

After receiving the sword presented by Gusman, the company commander in charge of the surrender ceremony looked at it casually and handed it to the soldiers behind him, and then said to Gusman: "Let your people put their weapons over there, which is the open space on the right, and then line up to leave." You can leave here by water or land as you choose, but you will have to bring your own means of transportation. In addition, all livestock, including but not limited to chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep, as well as mules and horses, is not allowed to be taken out of the area. Random checks will be made on the belongings of people leaving the city, and if there are any items that we deem to be contraband or other dangerous items, they will be detained. Tell your people these precautions, and don't break our rules while leaving the city, otherwise we won't be able to guarantee your personal safety. ”

After listening to the translation, although Gusman felt that the other party was extremely arrogant and rude, he really could not effectively resist it from his current position. Looking at the Haihan soldiers with loaded guns next to him, and the black hole in the distant position, Gesman felt that the current grievance was still bearable, at least he had successfully saved his life...... No, it should be said that he succeeded in saving the lives of the whole city, this is a real credit, as long as he can return to Chicken Coop Harbor, no one can snatch it.

After receiving the order, the Spanish soldiers slowly walked out of the city in a single line, and one by one threw their weapons and armor in the designated area, and could not take even a dagger out of the blockade area.

However, there was a small discordant note in the surrendering procession, and Giroud, a Spanish officer in shackles and handcuffs, was pushed and shoved out of the city gate by several people, and the sound coming from his mouth was eye-catching. But because the content of his rebuke was in Spanish, the Haihan soldiers could not understand what he was cursing for.

"Shut him up!" Guersman was furious when he saw this, they were all in this field, and Giroud had not relented, if he hadn't planned to take him back to a court-martial, so that he could take the blame for the fall of Santo Domingo and López's death, Gusman would probably have ordered him to be put on the gallows yesterday.

However, the Haihan man was a step faster, and two soldiers rushed over to stop Giroud, and then reversed the butt of the rifle and slammed it twice on his stomach, causing him to bend down and let out a groan of pain. The soldiers of the special operations battalion did not have a good impression of these deep-eyed and high-nosed Western ghosts, and they were all enemies and competitors to Haihan -- this was naturally also influenced by Haihan's propaganda strategy. Letting these Spaniards leave safely is already a rare act of mercy for the special operations battalion, and if there are still people who do not obey the arrangement in the process, then of course it will inevitably have to suffer a little.

Gusman's lips moved slightly when he saw this, but in the end he still didn't say anything. Now that you have chosen to surrender, it will be difficult to resist again, whether it is a soldier or an officer, I am afraid that there is not much courage left to resist at this time.

The disarmed Spaniards were not immediately able to leave the country unharmed, they had to undergo a body search, and except for some personal belongings, objects made of metal were detained, not even a single iron pot was allowed to be taken. The only exception was Gusman, who was allowed to take away five boxes that were exempt from inspection, while the others were looted clean, leaving not a single copper plate left.

Despite this, Takahashi Minami is not optimistic about the benefits that the special operations battalion can obtain here, after all, the daily basic consumption of Santo Domingo City still depends on the supply of Jilong Harbor to a large extent, and there is no oil and water at all. There is probably nothing of value in this city except for scrap copper and rotten iron that can be used for refurnace. Of course, these weapons handed in by the Spaniards could be picked, and although they could not be used to equip the militia army, there should be no problem selling them to the Ming army in Fujian and Guangdong at a discount. Although these weapons are not as good as the foreign trade version of Haihan in terms of performance, they are also relatively advanced equipment for the Ming army.

After all the armed men had surrendered their weapons, they were followed by genuine local immigrants, but there were very few Spaniards among them, most of them Nanyang natives like Delgado, who were born in Luzon, but also a few Han Chinese, and people of mixed blood of unknown ancestry. As with the previous standard, they are also prohibited from taking metal objects, whether farm tools or kitchen knives. For these people who live at the bottom of society, this is also a big loss. But compared to the Spaniards, they were also more powerless to resist the repressive measures of the Haihan.

The whole surrender process lasted a little more than an hour, and although there were a few skirmishes during the period, the soldiers did not cause major chaos under the timely and effective handling measures. However, the guys who made trouble in the conflicts basically ate a beating. After suppressing a few thorns, there was no more chaos in the second half of the surrender.

"As the representative of the Kingdom of Spain, I must ask you to explain the reasons for this undeclared war. Before leaving, Gusman questioned Haihan's side, and he was finally able to meet the supreme commander of Haihan's operation, Minami Takahashi.

"This island ......" Gao Qiao Nan pointed to the land under his feet: "We Haihan call it Taiwan Island, and you call it Formosa, but on the map of Haihan, this island belonged to Haihan a long time ago. You are invaders, and it is a normal action for Haihan to be the master to drive you away by force. ”

"This can't be, this is just an undeveloped primitive island, and there is no trace of civilized rule at all!" Although Gusman is greedy for life and afraid of death, he does not want to be fooled by the other party with such a low-level excuse - if this is reported back to Manila, the big men will definitely think that they are making up the reason for defeat.

"I'm just telling you this fact now, it's not that it's impossible to argue with you, and I don't accept it. Takahashi Nan sat down with a golden sword, and after listening to the interpreter, he didn't look at Gusman at all: "Whether you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with me, if you feel unconvinced, you are welcome to come back with the army." However, the next time we meet on the battlefield, it will probably not be resolved peacefully as we did today. ”

After hearing this, Gusman almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, when did the Kingdom of Spain, which is high in Europe and even the world, fall to the point of being humiliated by such a nobody?

Gusman took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Takahashi Minami with a serious face: "Sir, you are provoking an all-out war! I don't think you and your people can bear the serious consequences of this!"

After listening to the translation, Takahashi sneered and said: "Serious consequences? How serious can it be? Let your troops withdraw from the battlefields of Europe and drift to the Far East for a year to crusade against us? Just for a colonial stronghold with only a few hundred men? Will the high-ranking officials in Manila think your casus belli is valid?"

Gusman's face turned pale, he didn't expect that this short and stout Haihan officer would know so much information about Spain, it seemed that the other party was really prepared, and even the possible consequences of starting a war had already been considered. The verbal threat he made just now instantly paled and powerless, and it had become a joke in the other party's mouth.

These insights of Takahashi Minami naturally came from Qian Tiandun's teaching, and in addition to daily training, Qian Tiandun would teach him some world military knowledge, and also talked about the current chaotic situation on the European battlefield. As for the Western countries that Portugal, the Netherlands, and Spain came into contact with, their national conditions and military characteristics were the focus of Qian Tiandun's explanation. This knowledge is indeed not very useful in normal times, but at this time, in the face of Gusman's threat, Takahashi's casual words became a powerful counterattack.

Gao Qiao Nan put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "I want to advise you to leave this place as soon as possible, whether it is here or the chicken coop port in the north, it is the land of our Haihan!"

"This can't be!" Gusman shook his head decisively and refused: "If you still want to continue to attack Chicken Coop Harbor, then we will only see the truth on the battlefield." ”

"Just what I wanted. Takahashi Minami also did not give an inch: "I also feel that the combat level of our army has not been played at all here." I hope that when we meet again in the future, your army will not surrender so easily!"

Takahashi Minami was not afraid to expose Haihan's strategic intentions in advance, because he knew very well that the Spaniards in Chicken Coop Harbor had no way to ask for help from Manila in the south in time. After blocking the local access to the sea, some of the naval combat vessels have been transferred to the direction of Jilong Harbor and the local sea lanes are being monitored. By the time Santo Domingo returned to Chicken Coop Harbor, Haihan's warships would probably have completed the blockade of the local seas. Even if the Spaniards could take advantage of the situation and send a ship south to call the police for help, and wait for Manila to figure out what happened before organizing reinforcements to go north, it is estimated that the war would have ended a month or two ago. At that time, if the Spaniards can still recapture the chicken coop port from the special operations battalion, then Takahashi Minami will simply hang himself.

Even if the Spaniards in Chicken Coop Harbor had prepared for war in advance because of this, it would have been just a useless resistance in Takahashi's eyes. Delgado had already provided Haihan with a lot of information about the military deployment of Chicken Coop Harbor, and combined with the information he had received from the little blacksmith Jose, Chicken Coop Harbor no longer had any secrets to Hai Han. And Qian Tiandun and Takahashi Nan are both commanders who hope to promote military training with actual combat, so they do not plan to repeat this practice of the Tamsui estuary in Jilong Harbor.
