Three hundred and thirtieth chapters face painting Wang Ba
Originally indestructible, but now there are only broken walls and ruins left. The Taiwan City, which was full of holes, announced its surrender within a few days under the powerful offensive of the Fu Liao army. The fortress on the high ground behind the Fu Liao army was captured by the Fu Liao army, and the cannons were placed on the heads of the defenders in their city. Thousands of shells poured into the city every day. As the casualties of the defenders in the city gradually expanded, these Dutch soldiers lost the courage to resist.
The Governor of Yizhou of Dongdu Company stood at the gate of Taiwan City, behind which was a group of dejected soldiers. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on their faces. The muskets in their hands were confiscated by the Fu Liao army and there was nothing left.
Putmans handed over his command knife to Nelson: "Our East India Company's troops stationed in Yizhou are willing to surrender to the Ming army. I hope you can keep your promises, ensure the safety of our lives and property, and let us retreat safely to Batavia."
"No problem, we agree to your conditions. Next we will prepare a ship for you and send you away." Nelson took Putmans' command knife and handed it to the adjutant, "You only have two days to pack up."
"Is it so fast? Just like you suddenly announced that you would expel us, your army is really unpredictable." Putmans seemed to be self-deprecating.
"This is the instruction from our highest level. He believes that you have seized the place that originally belonged to the Chinese civilization." Nelson said.
"You are clearly the British. The power behind the Liao army is you Great Britain, right? Haha, I didn't expect that we and your country were fighting to the death on the European battlefield. I didn't expect that you still have the strength to penetrate into the Far East and support such a powerful force. It seems that we underestimated your Great Britain." Putmans said.
"No, you were wrong. This is a local force in the Ming Dynasty. I just work for them. Strictly speaking, I am not a person from Great Britain here. I cannot explain in detail for some reasons. You are ready to pack up and leave. I don't want to start a massacre." Nelson said.
Due to the system's limitations on loyalty and the inability to disclose his true identity, Nelson could only explain to Putmans vaguely. The war with the Netherlands is not a psychological burden for Nelson. Even in his previous era, European countries were still hostile to each other, and they were not friends.
"No matter how much you deny it, you cannot erase the fact that you served in the Liao army. When I return to Batavia, I will report this matter to the board of directors. They will reassess the strength of Great Britain and join forces with other kingdoms to sanction you." Putmans said.
"You can do whatever you want." Nelson rolled his eyes coldly.
Please, he is really not from Great Britain in this era. Putmans is just passing the blame.
After the defenders in Chikan City in southern Yizhou were cut off the water source by Liu Wang and local natives, they fell into panic. As the news of the surrender of Taiwan City came, they breathed a sigh of relief and immediately chose to surrender. Even their commanders led their people to surrender, so they did not have the truth to defend themselves.
However, compared with the successful acceptance of Taiwan City, Chikan City's acceptance was a little unexpected.
"You want to let these red-haired people go? Do you know that they used us like livestock at the beginning, asking us to make gold and plant them day and night. Now they are in our hands, how can we let them go easily!" The Han people who represented the indigenous people communicating with Liu Wang accused the surrendered Dutch people of crime, and were dissatisfied with the Liao army's practice of sending the Dutch people away.
"Everyone, it has always been the virtue of our Chinese civilization to convince people with virtue, and this is also the most different thing between us and these red-haired people. If we use their means to deal with us to deal with them, will we not be the same as them? Don't worry, they have lost this city. Even if we don't punish them, their people will not let them go when they return to their country." Liu Wang said.
"But we are particularly unhappy in this way. If we let go of the deep hatred in recent years, they will only think that we are weak and easy to bully!" said the representative of the Han Dynasty.
"Gaga, call me, please..." Not only were the local Han people in southern Yizhou, but also the local natives also shouted.
Although Liu Wang could not understand their local dialect, he roughly knew that the anger in the tone of these natives was mostly accusing the Netherlands.
Liu Wang was a little embarrassed. One of the conditions for agreeing to surrender to the Netherlands was to ensure the safety of their lives and property, so as to accelerate their surrender and reduce their own losses. In addition, Chu Yun also said that it is not possible to massacre the world as the Mongols conquered the world in the past, otherwise even if the world is conquered, it will collapse soon, so killing is impossible.
"I'm talking to you, you're better to the local people, so they won't make things difficult for you at this time. Look, the people here want to eat your meat and tear your bones, which shows what animal behaviors you have done before. Now, right? Do you think I want to follow the public's opinion and kill you?"
Liu Wang paced in front of a group of Dutch prisoners while questioning them.
"Restoring the Liao army, we know we are wrong. Don't kill us, don't kill us!" Some of the prisoners who knew Chinese were knelt on the ground when they heard Liu Wang's words, and burst into tears.
The other soldiers who did not understand Chinese also knew the seriousness of the matter and imitated the soldiers to keep kneeling down and kowtowing to beg for mercy.
"Why is it just me who is involved in this business? Let's do this. You draw a turtle on their faces to express humiliation and understand the grudges from now on." Liu Wang patted his forehead, and suddenly a flash of inspiration.
"Will this be too cheap for them?" said the local people.
"This is a compromise. It not only humiliates them, but also makes us magnanimous. Let's do it like this." Liu Wang said.
The Liao army gave them a way out, and the local people finally stopped insisting, but used local colored mud to paint the turtle on the faces of the surrendered prisoners. Seeing them all in a mess, they burst into laughter.
"Damn it, I'll spare you today. If you dare to come to our Yizhou again in the future, you will definitely beat you up so much that even your mother can't recognize you!" Local Han people sneered.
Although the local natives were a little unable to understand the ridicule of painting a turtle, they were mostly angry when they saw that the red-haired man who was usually so arrogant.
Over the years they were bullied by the red-haired people who colonized here, and now these red-haired people have finally been driven away.
