Hong Tao's six battleships left only two prisoners who had recovered the waters in the waters where the battle had just happened. The remaining four were headed by flagships and lined up in a long row, slowly sliding past the front of the dock to find out if there were any enemies, but no grenade was launched from beginning to end. Because there were no enemies near the dock, not to mention enemies, there were only people in the big yard east of the dock standing on the roof, waving two small white flags, and constantly chanting the flags. The others all ran to the gate of the city hundreds of meters away, but the gates were not open and they could not enter. They were piled up in black, and there could be hundreds of people.

"Secretary Wen, do you think they are planning to surrender or continue fighting?" Hong Tao originally imagined that the other party's city gate was wide open, and the king came to the dock to surrender with a white flag, but he didn't see the king or minister, and there was no white flag. He was really unsure whether to log in.

"This... this should be surrender, right?" Wen Nan was also a little stunned. The thunder fire just now made his soul a little out of his body. At this time, he realized that the sea battle was so simple. What kind of bravery and invincible? It was all fantasy. After the iron ball was blown up, how many generals on the ship were vain. Even if the person was not dead, the ship was burned into a fireball. There seemed to be no other way except jumping into the sea.

"But why didn't you see the white flag after surrender? Lao Mai, will you hold the white flag when you surrender?" Hong Tao still felt that something was wrong. Since ancient times, there have been cases of using fraud to deceive people. He must not be fooled by this. The sailors on the boat are all treasures, and one death is a great loss. It is better not to let them take risks on the shore. It is better to ask clearly.

"White, white flag? No, Master, as your most loyal servant, I think they surrendered, and the flags on the top of the city have fallen. If the master is not at ease, I am willing to take people up and try it!" I have to say that Matini is really a profiteer. In order to further consolidate his position in Hong Tao, he is willing to take the risk of replacing Hong Tao with him. This is a great investment.

"Oh? Do you need to raise the white flag to surrender?" Hong Tao understood a little. He watched too many movies. The thing about raising the white flag seemed to be not popular at this time, and it was not an internationally common surrender ceremony. After putting down his flag, it means that he would not fight. Surrender and be convinced!

"It is Qin State that they are still black and they don't know what else they hold, so it is the white flag. This dynasty does not have this rule. These people who are outside the world probably don't understand the rules of the Qin Dynasty, right?" Wen Nan also understood why Hong Tao had to see the white flag to confirm that the other party had the intention to surrender. He has always been very curious about Hong Tao's origin. During the contacts over the past year, he used various words to trick Hong Tao countless times. But he didn't gain much. This guy was very cunning and said without leaking the words. However, from some small details, Wen Nan still saw many clues, such as the surrender rules of Qin Dynasty, if they were not Han people who were familiar with history books, they would definitely not understand. Based on Hong Tao's performance, Wen Nan also believed that his ancestors were forced to flee far away from Australia during the Tang Dynasty. It is obvious that he knew very well about Han culture, but there were many faults. The only explanation is the knowledge passed down from ancestors, but he did not know the changes after the Tang Dynasty.

"Yes...hehehe, then okay, why don't Secretary Wen go up and ask me. How did the king plan to compensate me for my losses? These thunder fires are still very expensive. I saved his country. Should he give me some war expenses? Actually, I didn't want money. I can use land and personnel to compensate me. If he is willing to build a stone fortress at the dock as I ask, I won't ask him for war funds. By the way, I will help him solve the enemy nearby. By the way, ask who those people are and why they came to attack his country." Hong Tao was a little embarrassed, but his face basically had no reaction to this small matter. A grin was the biggest response.

"But...but I am a civil servant...oh, I am a secretary. Didn't you say I just need to record with a pen?" Wen Nan immediately became timid when he heard Hong Tao ask him to surrender. He could stand in the distance to guide the country, but he would never dare to charge. He would not dare to follow him in the end, a standard dealer.

"It's just a pen. You are going to negotiate. I will let someone protect you. Let's go with the thunder fire just now. Don't worry!" Hong Tao despised Wen Nan's courage. What a great scholar, who is not as good as a profiteer, Metine, a profiteer. He knew that if you want to gain more benefits, you need more investment and you can't make a fortune.

Soon, several small boats carried Wen Nan and 30 sailors and started landing, and there were three single-wheeled carts on the ship. This thing was invented by Hong Tao to solve the transportation problem of Jinhewan. With it, a person could walk freely on a not-so-good dirt road with hundreds of kilograms. In later generations, the working people in China pushed this simple thing as the logistics of millions of troops, which was very useful.

However, he modified the wheelbarrow. There was no wooden frame with camels on it, but a large slingshot was installed. There were two sashes of ten grenades on the frame, which turned into grenade launchers that could be pushed and walked. Once Hong Tao's warship was not at enough range and needed to land, he would ask the sailor to push the thing to ashore. When there was resistance, he could put it on the ground at any time. Two people pressed the frame, and two people were responsible for firing. Self-propelled cannons! This is the name Hong Tao gave to the small wheelbarrow. It doesn't matter whether it looks like it or not, it's just called it anyway.

This time, the self-propelled artillery was not useful. As soon as the boat landed, before all the self-propelled artillery were transported up, the city gate opened, and a group of people came out, and knelt in a very neat way at the city gate. When the defeated soldiers who were originally gathered at the city gate wanted to escape into the city saw that the king had knelt, they should kneel down as well. Wen Nan calmed down at this time, and walked forward with a group of sailors pushing carts and holding harpoons for a hundred meters, avoided the burning broken houses, and started shouting at the city gate. Soon, a few people were kneeling at the city gate, and surrounded by a big fat man and walked towards Wen Nan and the others, and knelt in front of him. Then both sides stood up, and the other side knelt on their knees and started chatting.

"Uncle, how do you feel? Is it much more comfortable to speak while standing than kneeling? For the sake of our own comfort, would you blame me for killing the people on the sea? Will the sea commerce shops on the boat behind blame me?" Hong Tao saw this scene and knew that there would not be too many changes. The natives were scared by grenades and could not make waves. Taking advantage of Wen Nan's negotiations with the other party, it would be better to tease Luo Dacai.

"You deceived me and Youde! We caused trouble to the Song Dynasty... This time you asked Youde to offer horses to the officials, are you trying to make the Song Dynasty's idea?" Luo Dacai was different from Wen Nan. He had a more comprehensive understanding of Hong Tao. From the beginning to now, he came to a conclusion that Hong Tao had a great plan. In this sea area, the richest one was the Song Dynasty. Since he could directly knock down a Nanfan port like a child playing games, then when there were more ships like him, the Song Dynasty ports would basically be similar. When he thought that the ports of Zhenzhou, Qiongzhou, Guangzhou, and Quanzhou would be burned into a sea of ​​fire by Hong Tao, and his family and friends would be homeless, his eyes were red.

"What's the idea of ​​Da Song? Why do I want Da Song? Didn't I say that these ships are used to help Da Song and deal with the Mongols. Don't guess it, we have known each other for four years, and I have never deceived you and Brother Luo? This time, the same is true. I swear that as long as Da Song doesn't attack me first, I will never attack Da Song. Even if your court is a little sorry for me, I will not be as knowledgeable as them. My ideal is that in the future, this sea area will be the Neihu of our Da Song Haizhuang merchants. You can run whatever you want, and do business wherever you want. The only thing that can control us is the sea and

God, no one else can do it, no one can. In fact, in the west of the Great Food Kingdom, there are thousands of miles of sea borders. Go there to do business there and make more money. If you grab a handful of tea, you can get back the same handful of gold. Why don’t we go? Don’t worry, wait for me, and when I have a bigger ship, I will take everyone there to make money. Lao Mai, are you right?” Hong Tao held Luo Dacai, who was excited and trembling, sitting on the steps of the stern building, like coaxing a child to sleep, and told him a very, very beautiful future. In the end, he felt that the persuasiveness was not enough, so he asked Matini to come forward to endorse the letter.

"Yes, sir, are all right! I have been there with the camel caravan in the tribe. They have very beautiful glass and tin utensils. They can be exchanged for silk, wine, tea, and porcelain, which is very cheap. But there are always wars on the way, and the trade route is very dangerous. If the owner can pass by the sea, he can bring more goods. At that time, the owner is the richest maritime merchant in the world. He should live in a palace covered with gold, have the most beautiful beauties in the world, and there are still countless people who can't count them.

Battleship! I, Metini, is the most loyal servant of the master, come to help him manage them, hehe..." Metini, who could understand that Luo Dacai didn't know where the Qin Kingdom was. He had been there. If he could really drive a big ship, it would be much larger than using camels to traffic in cartages. Thinking of this, he felt that there was a golden light in front of him. The last sentence was his true words. As long as he had enough wealth, he would not care who his master was, as long as he could be someone else's master.
