Chapter 815 Surrender

After hearing this, Gesman squinted his eyes and looked at Delgado for a long time, and finally said slowly: "It seems that you will no longer serve the Kingdom of Spain, right? Delgado...or you already have someone else

Have you chosen a spare Chinese name?"

"Sir, this is good for both of us. After all, we don't want to lose our lives here, right?" Perhaps because the matter has been settled, Delgado is no longer like before.

So humbly facing Gesman, his tone also had a hint of toughness.

After hearing this, Gesman was not angry, but asked him another question: "Delgado, besides leaving your life, what other benefits did the Haihan people promise you? Money or land? You

Do you think they can fulfill their promise to you?"

"They didn't promise me any benefits, but maybe this will give me the opportunity to do something I've always wanted to do." Delgado stared at Gesman's face and said, "Sir, I'm different from you. Money

Land and land are not necessities for me. You can’t give me what I want.”

Gesman really didn't understand what Delgado meant now, but the two parties were about to part ways, and he didn't want to get to the bottom of this insignificant detail. Now he could leave this dispute peacefully.

Land is Gesman's first priority. As for Delgado's future whereabouts and even his life and death, Gesman is not that interested in continuing to pay attention.

The defenders in the city spent the night clearing the stones blocking the passage at the city gate. As soon as it got dark the next day, the city gate opened a crack. Delgado walked out of the city alone and walked to Haihan's position. A moment later.

, a bonfire was lit outside the Haihan position. This was a signal agreed by both parties, indicating that the defenders in the city could leave the city and surrender.

Sun Zhen's platoon was also fortunate enough to be tasked with surrendering. Under the leadership of the officer, they jogged all the way and lined up outside the city gate of Santo Domingo. As part of the surrender ceremony, they needed to receive weapons and equipment from the defenders at the city gate.

Of course, taking this opportunity to show off your force to your opponent is also a necessary method.

Takahashi Nan originally wanted to come forward in person to accept the surrender, but his officers advised him not to come forward. Firstly, for safety reasons and to avoid the Spanish's desperate behavior. Secondly, in such a small stronghold, if the battalion commander was required to come forward,

Accepting surrender would elevate the enemy's identity in disguise. Takahashi Nan is going to accept the surrender here. What will happen to the city of El Salvador in Jilong Port in the future?

Takahashi Nan thought it made sense, so he directly assigned one of his company commanders to take charge of the matter, while he himself sat at the rear to observe the situation. If the Spaniards were not so honest, Takahashi Nan would not mind killing a wave of people here.

The head stands tall and majestic.

Surrounded by his personal guards, Gersmann took the lead in walking out of the castle gate. It is worth mentioning that after Gersmann took control of the city, the private guards who had defected to the military took the initiative to return to him.

Waiting for orders. And Gesman acted as if nothing had happened and re-accepted his own guards. After all, the group of people Delgado brought to him were all Luzon natives, so they could only do some dirty work.

It's a tiring job, and it's definitely not enough to act as a front, and Gesman can't afford to lose that face.

After taking the sword presented by Gesman, the company commander in charge of the surrender ceremony casually looked at it and handed it to the soldiers behind him, and then said to Gesman: "Ask your people to put the weapons over there.

Well, it’s the open space on the right, and then line up to leave. You can choose to leave here by water or land, but you have to bring your own transportation. In addition, all livestock are not allowed to be taken away from this place, including but not limited to chickens and ducks.

Geese, pigs, cattle and sheep, as well as mules and horses. We will randomly check the belongings of people leaving the city. If there are contraband or other dangerous items that we identify, they will be detained. People who tell you these precautions should not

Violate our regulations when leaving the city, otherwise we will not be able to guarantee your personal safety."

After listening to the translation, Gesman felt that the other party was extremely arrogant and rude, but from his current position he really could not make an effective fight against it. He looked at the Haihan soldiers with live ammunition next to him, and the black holes on the position in the distance.

At the muzzle of the gun, Gesman felt that the current grievance was bearable. At least he had successfully saved his life... No, it should be said that he had successfully saved the lives of the entire city. This was a real achievement. As long as

If he can return to Jilong Port, no one can take it away.

After receiving the order, the Spanish soldiers formed a single file and slowly walked out of the city. One by one, they threw their weapons and armor in the designated area. Even a dagger could not be taken out of the blockade area.

However, a small discordant note soon appeared in the surrendering team. The shackled Spanish officer Giroud was pushed out of the city gate by several people, and the voice coming out of his mouth was eye-catching.

But because the contents of his scolding were all in Spanish, the Haihan soldiers could not understand what he was cursing.

"Shut him up!" Gesman was so angry when he saw this scene that he arrived at the field. Giroud still didn't restrain himself. If he hadn't planned to take him back and hand him over to a military court for trial, so that he could

Taking the blame for the fall of Santo Domingo and Lopez's death in battle, Gesman probably would have ordered him to be hanged yesterday.

However, the Haihan people were one step faster. Two soldiers rushed over to stop Jirou, then turned their rifle butts over and hit him hard twice on the stomach, causing him to bend down and moan in pain.

The soldiers of the special operations battalion did not have a good impression of these Western ghosts with deep eyes and high noses. To Haihan, they were all enemies and competitors - this was naturally also affected by Haihan's propaganda strategy. Let these Spanish

For people to leave safely is a rare act of mercy for the special operations battalion. If there are still people who disobey the arrangements during this process, of course they will inevitably suffer some hardships.

After seeing this scene, Gesman's lips moved slightly, but in the end he still said nothing. Now that he has chosen to surrender, it will be difficult to resist again. Whether it is a soldier or an officer, I am afraid that there will be no one left at this time.

How much courage did you have to resist?

The disarmed Spaniards will not be able to leave safely right away. They must also undergo a body search. In addition to some personal belongings, all metal items are detained, even an iron pot.

None were allowed to be taken away. The only exception was Gersmann, who was allowed to take away five boxes without inspection, while the others were ransacked and not a single copper was left.

Despite this, Gao Qiaonan is not optimistic about the benefits that the special operations battalion can obtain here. After all, the daily basic consumption of Santo Domingo City has to rely on the supplies of Jilong Port to a large extent, which is simply not possible.

There's no need to do anything about it. Apart from scrap copper and iron that can be used for recycling, there's probably nothing of value in this city. Of course, you can pick out the weapons handed over by the Spaniards, although they can't be used for equipment.

Militia Army, but there should be no problem selling them to the Ming Army in Fujian and Guangdong at a discount. Although the performance of these weapons is not as good as the foreign trade version of Haihan, it is still considered relatively advanced equipment for the Ming Army.

After all the armed men surrendered their weapons, they were followed by real local immigrants, but there were very few Spaniards among them. Most of them were Nanyang natives like Delgado who were born in Luzon, and there were also a few Han Chinese and people of ancestry.

Unknown mixed-race descendants. As with the previous standards, they are also prohibited from taking away metal objects. Whether they are farm tools or kitchen knives, they are all among the detained items. For these people living at the bottom of society, this is also a huge deal.

It was a considerable loss. But compared to the Spaniards, they were also less able to resist Haihan's repressive measures.

The entire surrender process lasted for about an hour. Although there were several small-scale conflicts during the period, due to the timely and effective handling measures of the soldiers, no major troubles were caused. It was those who caused trouble in those conflicts.

The guy basically got a good beating. After suppressing a few thorns, there were no more troubles in the second half of the surrender.

"As a representative of the Kingdom of Spain, I must ask you to explain the reasons for this undeclared war." Before setting off, Gesman still asked Haihan's side, and he finally got to see Haihan.

Takahashi Minami, the supreme commander of this operation.

"This island..." Gao Qiaonan pointed to the land at his feet: "We Haihan call it Taiwan Island, you call it Formosa, but on Haihan's map, this island belonged to Haihan a long time ago.

territory. You are intruders, and using force to drive you away is a normal action for Haihan as his master."

"This is impossible. This is just an undeveloped primitive island. There is no trace of the rule of a civilized country at all!" Although Gesman is afraid of death, he is not willing to be fooled by the other party with such a low-level excuse——

If he reported this back to Manila, the big shots would definitely think that he was making up the reasons for his defeat.

"I'm just telling you this fact now. I'm not arguing with you about whether it's possible or not." Takahashi Minami sat silently. After listening to the translator, he didn't look at Gesman at all: "Do you believe it or not?"

If you don’t believe me, it has nothing to do with me. If you feel dissatisfied, you are welcome to come back with your army. But next time we meet on the battlefield, we probably won’t be able to resolve it peacefully like we did today.”

After hearing this, Gesman almost spit out his blood. When did the Kingdom of Spain, which was so lofty in Europe and even the world, fall to the point of being humiliated by such a nobody?

Gesman took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Takahashi Nan with a serious face: "Sir, you are provoking a full-scale war! I don't think you and your tribe can bear this.

Serious consequences!"

Takahashi Nan patiently listened to the translation, and sneered: "Severe consequences? How serious can it be? Let your troops withdraw from the European battlefield, float on the sea for a year, and come to the Far East to attack us? Just because

A colonial stronghold with only a few hundred people? Will senior officials in Manila think your casus belli is valid?"

Gesman's face was ashen. He didn't expect that this stocky Haihan officer would know so much information about Spain. It seemed that the other party was really prepared and had even considered the possible consequences of starting a war.

.The verbal threat I just made seemed pale and weak in an instant, and it has become a joke in the other party's mouth.

These insights of Gao Qiaonan naturally came from Qian Tiandun. After daily training, Qian Tiandun would teach him some world military knowledge and also talk about the current chaotic situation on the European battlefield. As for Portugal,

The national conditions and military characteristics of the Western countries that Haihan came into contact with, such as the Netherlands and Spain, were the focus of Qian Tiandun's explanation. This knowledge is indeed not of much use in normal times, but at this time when faced with Gesman

As a threat, Takahashi Minami's casual words became a powerful counterattack.

Gao Qiaonan put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "I would like to advise you to leave this place as soon as possible. Whether it is here or the Jilong Port in the north, it is our Haihan land!"

"This is impossible!" Gesman shook his head decisively and refused: "If you continue to attack Jilong Port, then we will only see the truth on the battlefield."

"Exactly what I want." Takahashi Minami also refused to give in: "I also feel that our army has not shown its due combat level here at all. I hope that when we meet again in the future, your army will not surrender so easily!"

Gao Qiaonan was not afraid of exposing Haihan's strategic intentions in advance, because he knew very well that the Spaniards in Jilong Port had no way to seek help from Manila in the south in time. After blocking the local sea channel, some naval combat ships had been

Transfer to the direction of Jilong Port and monitor the local sea channels. By the time these people from Santo Domingo City return to Jilong Port, Haihan's warships will probably have completed the blockade of the local waters. Even if Spain

If someone can take advantage of the opportunity 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 will be over in a month or two. If the Spaniards can still recapture it from the special operations battalion by then

Jilong Port and Gaoqiao South can just hang themselves directly.

Even if the Spaniards in Jilong Port prepared for war in advance, Gao Qiaonan saw it as just pointless resistance. Delgado had already provided Haihan with a lot of military deployment information about Jilong Port.

According to the information obtained from blacksmith Jose, Jilong Port has no secrets for Haihan. Qian Tiandun and Gao Qiaonan are both commanders who hope to promote troop training through actual combat, so they do not intend to use it again.

Jilong Port has repeated the practice of Tamsui River Estuary.
