So he sent Lei Yuesheng to finally fully understand the facts after the corridor collapsed in front of his eyes, and ordered his soldiers to hoist high white flags on the only two remaining corners of the fort as quickly as possible...
When Zhao Kaixuan saw this scene with his telescope, he just smiled and said nothing more. He just waved his hand and gave the order for the two frigates to land and surrender...
"This battle is really boring!! These white-skinned guys can't bear the beating of the Japanese... Although the Japanese are small, they still refuse to admit defeat... They all know how to sneak into the city and fight in the streets.
, these white-skinned guys are so good... they just surrendered when they said they would! They are so boring!!"
Since the Battle of Busan, Xue Zhengdao has been promoted by Yan Bing as Zhao Kaixuan's deputy general and followed him into the navy...
"Brother Xue, you really can stand and talk without hurting your back!" Zhao Kaixuan looked back at him, put on his helmet, and continued: "The reason why you think this victory is easy is because of the control of the coach.
The artillery and ships are far superior to each other
, Brother Xue, you might as well think about it, if we had not met the coach back then, we would still be holding big blades and bows and arrows in our hands now. How would we fight this battle by then? Brother Xue, have you ever thought about it? Before speaking...
...Use your brain first..." Bayi Chinese website
"Tsk... that's right! Hey, Old Zhao, tell me, is our coach a descendant of heaven? How come he only knows so much? He can fight and build things! What was Liang Guo like five years ago? What is he like now?
What does it look like? Just because the coach is here! Everything has changed!! This is simply... so magical..."
"You'd better leave your flattery nonsense to the coach. Ask me, where can I go?"
"Hey! Don't you know me? I'm okay with praising people behind their backs, but I'm so stupid that I can't even say a lucky word in front of them. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to still be a small householder in the city in my thirties?
Right..."
While the two were talking, Xue Zhengdao also put on his helmet and followed Zhao Kaixuan to the deck, preparing to dock in the prepared boat and accept the relevant surrender matters...
Jilong Island, which has been occupied by the Netherlands for nearly ten years, is not only home to officers, soldiers and warships, but also to countless Dutch colonists who flocked here with dreams of getting rich. They also established their own towns behind military ports and castles.
Heshang Port, so it was not just the military...but also the civilians who surrendered this time...

"How could it be a yellow monkey!?? How could this be possible!?? I had been to their city-state just a few years ago! They were still in the primitive iron society!! How could they suddenly have such powerful warships and artillery?
!!? It must be trade!! They must have bought it from Europe!!"
At this time, the Dutch general sent Lei Yuesheng, who was extremely embarrassed, holding his head in his hands, squatting under the corner with a group of Dutch soldiers, preparing to accept the surrender, and in front of them... there were thousands of Tongluo navy with live ammunition...
The shiny bayonets and advanced muskets made all the Dutch craftsmen stare blankly. Even if they were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, their eyes were still staring at the opponent's muskets without blinking...
"Your Excellency, General...I can confirm! The weapons in their hands are definitely not from any country in Europe! The gap! The shape! Even the barrel! It is completely different from all the fire guns I have seen! And you!
Did you see the carvings on their gun butts!? That's their totem! A creature called 'long'! This kind of carving technique and pattern! It is definitely from local craftsmen! It's not from Europe..."
"long...??"
"This is our Draak Koning! Although the appearance is very different! But the head is very close... In their legend, this long can fly into the sky even without wings! And it can also control heavy rain and thunder...
"
"Which one is the general!! Come out and speak!!"
While the craftsman was slowly telling Suipai Lei Yuosheng, a translator from the Tongshun Army spoke to everyone in a slightly out-of-tune Dutch...
After thinking for a while, Suipai Leiyuesen slowly stood up with his hands raised and replied loudly: "I am Captain Suipai Leiyuosheng, and I have been ordered to protect the safety of the people and property of our Republic of the Netherlands!
"
When the translator saw this, he nodded, turned around, translated the Dutch into Chinese, and reported it to Zhao Kaixuan who was standing aside...
"Captain??" Zhao Kaixuan frowned as he listened to the translator's words, then stroking his beard and asked with a smile: "Captain... what is the official title?"
"Captain..." The translator lowered his head and thought for a moment, then replied with gestures: "It's bigger than a hundred households...but less than a thousand households...probably like this..."
"Not even the fifth grade? How dare you occupy such a large piece of land in our Liang Kingdom!??"
"Hey general, they don't have grades, only military ranks..."
"Oh..." Zhao Kaixuan nodded as if he understood, and then continued: "Tell him! This general is the third-rank cavalry captain from Daliang! The late emperor conferred the title of General Zhaoyong! The third-rank uncle! I...accept them
Surrender!"
"ah???"
The translator was dumbfounded...
These words are not found in the whole of Europe, let alone the Netherlands. How can he translate them???
After thinking about it over and over again, I finally translated it into: "Our Earl! Accept your surrender!"
"count!!??"
So Lei Yuesheng was also stupid...
Although the Netherlands had changed from a principality to a republic at this time, and there was no longer any title, he still understood how noble the count's status was. He immediately changed his arrogant attitude and bowed deeply to Zhao Kaixuan.
A bow...
And Zhao Kaixuan seemed to be very useful. He stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, and then continued: "I have been ordered by my coach to let you go! But... you need to send an envoy from the Netherlands to communicate with my coach.
Let's make a treaty! As for you... you need to be redeemed by the Netherlands for two hundred taels of silver per person! Otherwise... just wait for Liang to declare war on you!! And you... will also be sold as slaves...
Give me the wealthy businessmen of Liang!"
The translator accepted the order, and then translated the master's words to the other party. He just converted the taels into pounds. The final conclusion was, 22 pounds and 3 ounces of silver... ransomed one person!
After hearing this, the other party was instantly in an uproar...
Twenty-two pounds of silver!!
This is a sky-high price for the already poor Europeans!
Only one person can be replaced...? In other words, the more than 400 remnants of the island, plus the more than 3,000 colonists, are nearly 100,000 pounds of silver! Even if you emptied the Dutch government in half
