No one used force against the Ming soldiers on the sampan, and they did not dare to do so. Dick came to the bow of the ship, stuck his head out, and asked Rust on the sampan: "Father Rust, are you from the Chinese?"
are you coming?"
"Mr. Dick, I am coming from the Chinese fleet, sent by the commander of the Chinese fleet, to persuade you to accept the Chinese surrender conditions." Rust said without concealment. Behind him, there was a superior
With hundreds of huge Ming warships as support, he was very confident.
Dick sighed deeply. He knew that it would be difficult for the combined fleet he led to break through the blockade of the Ming fleet. It was also impossible to escape from other directions. The opponent was strong and the artillery range was far enough. It was completely
Most of the ships in the combined fleet can be sent into the sea during the pursuit.
"Father Rust, I want to know, has the Chinese fleet been ambushing here for a long time? For the sake of everyone being European, I hope you can tell me the truth." Dick said.
Rust said: "No, the Chinese fleet just set sail from China more than ten days ago. However, we received a letter from the Chinese commander in Luzon on the way, so our commander ordered
Speed up and come to this sea area to wait. The warships behind me are all newly built by Chinese shipyards. They are equipped with artillery with a range of 1,500 steps, and they are also equipped with telescopes that can see a distance of more than 3,000 steps. I
I think it’s impossible for you to defeat them.”
Dick nodded: "Okay, Father Rust, please tell the commander of the Chinese fleet and ask him to give us some time. I want to discuss this matter with my colleagues."
"I promise in the name of God that I will ask them to grant some grace. However, please also ask Mr. Dick to restrain your colleagues and ask them not to try to break through or provoke. Otherwise...only God knows the consequences."
Rust issued a serious warning.
Dick had people use flags to notify the commanders of various countries to come to his flagship for discussion. Everyone reached a consensus again, that is, they agreed to surrender to the Chinese to save the lives of the fleet officers and soldiers. At the meeting, no one lied to Waldo about military information.
The problem has arisen because everyone is too lazy to worry about it.
The Ming fleets commanded by Su Hao and Deng Zilong have also arrived. The two fleets joined together and held a grand surrender ceremony at sea. Deng Zilong and Su Hao accepted Dick and other naval commanders from the five countries on behalf of the Ming Dynasty.
He handed over his sword and promised not to harm any officers and soldiers of the combined fleet and to ensure their life safety.
Of course, as the defeated party, the surrender conditions accepted by the United Fleet were also very harsh:
All warships, including those that did not participate in this naval battle, along with their respective naval bases and all supplies, were handed over to Ming Dynasty to compensate for Ming Dynasty's losses in this naval battle;
The six countries gave up their colonies on the Nanyang Islands, withdrew all armed forces, withdrew their trading companies, and recognized the Nanyang Islands as the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence.
"This is unfair. You can occupy an island just by setting up a few artillery pieces on the coast. This is really overbearing." Joel said to Su Hao when he handed over his sword.
Su Hao smiled slightly. He wanted to say something, but held back.
History won't repeat itself, right? He thought happily in his heart.
The European sailors and soldiers who had surrendered all their weapons were taken to the Ming army's transport ship, and then escorted by several Ming gun ships, they went to the naval bases of various countries in Southeast Asia to complete the exchange procedures. The ships of the United Fleet,
It will be taken over by the Daming Navy and will be included in the order of the Daming Navy in the future.
Last and some other European missionaries used this time to do some work among European sailors and soldiers. As a result, thousands of Europeans refused to be repatriated and asked to stay and serve in the Ming Dynasty Navy. Su Hao was very
He happily accepted them. In his future expedition to the ocean, Su Hao will be in great need of some foreign cannon fodder.
Seeing Dick and others being sent away by the transport ship, Su Hao turned around, smiled at the newly arrived commander of the Ming fleet, and said, "Shilang Chen, thank you for arriving in time, otherwise it would be difficult for us to achieve such a satisfactory result.
The result.”
Chen Dao, the newly promoted minister of the Ministry of War, took Su Hao's hand and said with a smile: "Everywhere, my brother Gai and General Deng bravely defeated the enemy and frightened the enemy, so our army was able to force Hongyi to surrender without any bloodshed. This is
In any case, the first achievement of defeating the enemy should be shared by Gai Zhi and General Deng."
Su Hao pointed to the surrounding fleets and said: "Chen Shilang, I remember that the Ministry of War first informed us that there were only 40 ships. Why did you suddenly have more than a hundred ships? Is there any change in this?"
Chen Dao slapped his head and said: "Oh, I actually forgot about important things. Come on, come on, change it. Mr. Deng, everyone must first pay homage to His Royal Highness King Fu and Han Shangshu before we can talk about these old things."
"Prince Fu?" Su Hao was stunned, "You mean... the Prince Fu in the palace? Is he on this treasure ship?"
"Isn't that the King of Fortune? Who else dares to call himself King of Fortune?" Chen Dao said proudly. He had obviously expected that Su Hao would be shocked by this incident.
Hearing that there was a prince on the ship, everyone did not dare to make any mistakes and quickly followed Chen Dao to the upper deck of the treasure ship. Taking advantage of this time, Chen Dao briefly introduced the cause of the matter to everyone.
It turns out that during Su Hao's expedition to Nanyang, many things happened in the Ming Dynasty.
First, the Japanese pirates invaded Korea again, and the King of Korea once again asked for help from the Ming Dynasty. Wanli sent Li Rusong, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, into Korea to fight against the Japanese. With the help of a large number of firearms provided by Su's factory, Li Rusong severely damaged the invading Japanese pirates at a very small cost, and even the Japanese pirates
The leader of the army, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, was hit by a cannonball during the battle and his body was not found.
After pacifying the Korean War, Li Rusong did not stop. Under the cover of the navy, he led his troops across the sea and arrived at the Japanese state. The domestic economy of the Japanese state had completely collapsed due to the drag of the war of aggression against Korea. The people of the Japanese state welcomed the arrival of the Ming army as if they were looking forward to the king's army.
Wanli bowed his head and proclaimed himself a vassal. Wanli sent civil servants to the Japanese state to serve as governor, turning the Japanese state into a province of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Rusong returned to Liaodong from Japan and received new orders from the court. Based on the secret memorial left by Su Hao before leaving, Wanli forced Li Rusong to abandon the strategy of raising thieves to respect themselves, led his army north to Baishan and Heishui, and eliminated the Jianzhou armed forces.
, thus eliminating another hidden danger of the Ming Dynasty.
When several wars were completely victorious, the protracted "national war" in the Wanli court also took a turn for the better. Wanli complied with the requests of ministers and announced that the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Changluo would be the crown prince, and the third son of the emperor Zhu Changxun would be the prince of fortune. Everyone was shocked.
To his surprise, Wanli announced that King Fu's vassal territory would be the islands in the Southeast Asia, including the overseas continent that Su Hao had told him about - Australia.
Since Xun'er cannot be the king of China, let him be the king of overseas countries. The overseas territory is no less big than that of China. This arrangement is not unfair to Xun'er. This is what Wanli said to his beloved concubine Zheng.
Reasons for explanation.
This solution has been in Wanli's mind for a long time. As early as when Su Hao told him about the overseas world, Wanli had an idea: Instead of letting his children fight for an imperial power in the country, his brothers and sisters would have to fight for it.
Why not let them go abroad and build a new Ming Dynasty?
With this idea, Wanli actively supported Su Hao's efforts to revive the navy and promoted the Ming army's overseas expansion. After Su Hao and Deng Zilong regained Luzon, Wanli saw the hope of overseas expansion, so he made the decision to establish a prince and confer the title of King Fu.
.
In this way, the ten-year-old Fu Wang Zhu Changxun was taken out of the palace and boarded a treasure ship to go to Nanyang. Wanli deployed hundreds of warships to escort Zhu Changxun. The highest-ranking military attache on the ship was Chen Dao, the newly appointed minister of the Ministry of War.
The civil servant is the newly appointed Minister of Household Affairs, Su Hao's father-in-law Han Wen.
According to Wanli's arrangements, Su Hao will serve as the commander-in-chief of all armies in the newly opened overseas territories and will be responsible for fighting at the front, while Chen Dao will assume the responsibilities of the military department and ensure the recruitment of soldiers and logistics supplies. As for the administration of these places
Affairs will be managed by Han Wen and other civil servants. With such a team, King Fu can sit back and relax and enjoy the happiness in the world.
"By the way, let's change it. Madams Han, Lu, and your lord, all came to Nanyang with the treasure ship. It was lonely and boring at sea, so Lord Han asked your two wives to play with His Highness Prince Fu all day long. Their relationship
It's great, you can see them soon." Chen Dao said to Su Hao with a smile.
"I'm dizzy... Your Majesty is going to exile my whole family to Australia." Su Hao couldn't laugh or cry.
The group of people came to the cabin in the middle of the treasure ship. After the announcement, the eunuch came out and welcomed Su Hao and others into Zhu Changxun's cabin. As soon as Su Hao entered the door, he saw a little fat man stumbled up and hugged Su Hao's leg.
He raised his head and asked, "Are you Su Hao? When will you take me to catch kangaroos?"
"Uh... you are His Royal Highness Prince Fu, right? Who did you hear about catching kangaroos?" Su Hao squatted down, hugged the cute little prince, and asked with a smile.
Zhu Changxun turned around and pointed: "Aunt Han and Aunt Lu told me. They said that the vassal land given to me by my father is ten million times larger than the palace, and there are kangaroos everywhere. Su Hao, hurry up and lead the troops.
Beat Hongyi away and let's go catch kangaroos for fun. I plan to catch the biggest kangaroo myself and send it back to the capital for the prince brother to play with."
Su Hao raised his head and looked along Zhu Changxun's fingers, only to see Han Qian and Lu Xiuer behind Zhu Changxun with smiles as bright as flowers, looking at him with tender eyes.
"Qian'er, Xiu'er, why are you here?" Su Hao put down Zhu Changxun, walked to Han Qian and Lu Xiu'er, held one person in each hand, and asked with a smile.
"Didn't you already say that you would take us to see the sea?"
"Yes, you also said that you want to build a house by the sea, where the whole family can live, facing the sea, and the flowers will bloom in spring!"
