The old guy from the broken city gate was naturally Uncle Zhang, and he went to recruit him.

"Your gunboats have all been captured by us, your city gates have been breached, no one can stand at the head of the city, and the shootout has been lost!" In the council chamber of the governor's palace in the city, Chambers pointed out the situation of the Dutch in Dutch.

"So what!" Paul Buck said strongly: "We will shoot everyone, and the city of Orange will become your hell, and Batavia will not see our message back, but will send a great army, and then it will be your end!" ”

He still felt good about himself, but the old guy said, "If this is the case, you will not see the end of us!" ”

Now the Dutch were silent!

The old guy is right, it is a matter of the future whether the Akito is finished or not, and now the Dutch are about to finish!

Seeing that they were wilting, Zhang Bo persuaded: "As long as you surrender, we promise not to harm your lives, and Batavia gives a reasonable ransom, and we will release you." ”

He said solemnly: "We swear in the name of our god Mazu, and we will do what we say!" ”

Without waiting for the Dutch to say anything, Uncle Zhang didn't bother to speak, and said bluntly: "If you don't agree, then fight, we will not accept prisoners, and kill them all!" ”

Someone made a fuss and said, "Oh, you barbarians! ”

"If we are barbaric, we will attack the city directly, give you an hour to decide, and if you are willing to surrender, you will put up a white flag, throw weapons out, and refuse to surrender, then you will all go to hell!" Uncle Zhang threatened.

"We're all going to hell, so I'll kill you first!" Paul Buck said with a fierce look in his eyes.

"How old are you?" Uncle Zhang looked calm and authentic.

"Huh?" The knees of the red hairy fan are hard and can't bend down, and the brain is straight, and they can't turn sharply.

Uncle Zhang saw that he was so stupid, so he had to say to him: "You are young, I am old, you want to exchange lives with me?" Are you willing to do such a business? I'll be with you! If I die, you won't even have an hour's chance, so let's go to hell together! ”

"Enough!" Governor Mattheis stopped Paul Buck and said to Chambers, "You can go!" ”

After Uncle Zhang had left, Mattheis asked the officials and merchants in the council chamber, "Gentlemen, what have you decided?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Paul Buck yelled, "Fight them, let's shoot them together!" ”

Someone immediately laughed at him and said, "You have beaten them, but you can't beat them, you could escape before, but now you can't escape in the city!" ”

Paul Buck was furious, "That's what they're doing!" They are invulnerable......"

"And now you can break their spells again?" The man asked politely.

Paul Barker was at a loss for words, arguing: "We noble Westerners cannot yield to the barbarians!" ”

"It's one thing to give in or not to give in, I just want to keep my life!"

"Coward!"

"If you are bold, you will fight!" It was Shylock, a young Dutch merchant in the city, who was very annoyed, and he was doing his business (one of the galleons parked in the harbor was his), and was about to carry the silver back to Batavia, when he met the Ming people and the Dutch at war, and he knew that his silver ship was finished on the city walls, which had never been attacked!

That's 150,000 taels of shogunate silver!

The other galleon, the one that was captured by the soldiers of Beigang, had more silver taels, more than 350,000 taels, which was the silver transported by several big merchants!

God, the ship is gone, the silver is gone, and even people are ready to be prisoners, or go to hell, is there anything worse in this world than him?

So he spoke very politely, anyway, no matter how miserable it is, it can't be miserable now.

Paul Buck couldn't say anything, so he had to scold: "Jew! ”

It turns out that Shylock has Jewish blood, he is adventurous, young and promising, and already has a galleon plus trade profits, which makes people jealous.

Seeing that Paul Buck became more and more unremarkable, Mattheis said angrily: "Don't say such meaningless words, let me ask you, can you hold on to the fight?" ”

Paul Buck opened his mouth wide, opened and closed his upper and lower lips a few times, and when the words came to his mouth, he just couldn't say, "It can work!" ”

……

They were in the council chamber when they heard a loud whistling, and when they heard the familiar voice, Mattheis's face changed, and he cried out, "Run! "Take the lead and run out.

Everyone didn't know why, only Paul Buck and the Jewish businessman Sherlock were close to Matthew.

The two of them were right, and then the cannonballs fell, hitting the walls of the chamber and the windows collapsed, filling the smoke!

Damn, the Mingren naval guns slammed into the council chamber, and a series of shells hit, Mattheis's heart sank, and he heard an ominous sound.

The Ming's firepower has increased, and it is likely that they have used the other two gunboats captured in the harbor to bombard the city with their cannons!

His judgment was right, a burst of shells fell, and the Dutch cursed the damned Akito, it must have been the old fellow who went back and told him to bombard the council chamber with cannons and wanted to kill the leaders (they really didn't wronged Uncle Zhang, he immediately reported the situation of the Dutch after leaving the city).

The walls of Orange City are well defended, but what I didn't expect was that the cunning Ming people actually used grenadiers!

The Dutch artillery had a long range, but in close combat it was no match for the grenadiers.

Without the suppression of the city's artillery, the Ming people could bombard the city with naval artillery as they wanted, how could this battle be fought!

As for Batavia's aid, forget it, Mattheis smiled bitterly, he was a captain and knew that it would not be easy to cobble together an expeditionary fleet.

The main reason is the Dutchman who got into the money eye!

If someone says that there is a million taels of silver here, and they can't move it, then the Dutch fleet will come in a mighty way.

Now, Mattheis estimates that the Ming will move the things here, and the crops in the North Harbor have been harvested, so what will the Dutch fleet get when they come here?

If there is no harvest, the Dutch in Batavia will not be so nervous, they will slow down and send envoys to negotiate with the Mingren, everyone is pulling back, and they may not be able to send a fleet for a year!

Anyway, it will come in a year... The crops in Beigang are ripe, and I heard that there is a lot of land cultivated there, so it is worth coming at that time!

Mattheis smiled bitterly again, don't think so much, Ming people are likely to be ready to attack when they shoot like this, according to what the old guy said, once they attack, they will not leave any prisoners!

His heart is beating, is it a battle or a surrender? A choice has to be made.
