The soldiers who surrendered without a fight, the red hairy fan was frightened!

I was really frightened, the Chinese attacked so fiercely, and the Chinese did not attack after such a fierce offensive!

The red-haired fans seriously suspected that the Chinese had bad intentions and wanted to reenact the last seven-month siege of Malacca.

Of the more than 200,000 Malacca residents, only 3,000 survived, and 1,000 of the 2,000 Hongmaofan who defended the city died.

Most of the people who died died because of the epidemic and freezing and starvation, not from guns!

At that time, the besieged lord would be Hong Xuguan, who was blamed for spending too much money, and Prime Minister Chen Xinji supported him, and the leader Yan Changwu endorsed Hong Xuguan's actions.

They're trying to get rid of all the people of Malacca!

In the course of the Chinese conquest of Southeast Asia, it is best to be borderland, no one argues with us, and this territory becomes our territory.

Inevitably, there are still lords in many places, there are many natives, and they will resist the heavenly army, we will have to spend time fighting them, if they surrender, we will have to manage them, collect their poll tax, enough trouble!

If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, but it is still better to be Chinese, and it is easy to be obedient.

In order to encourage population growth, the Chinese no longer collect a poll tax, and the collection of a poll tax on the indigenous people has caused a lot of problems, someone becomes a slave because they can't pay the poll tax, so someone, someone's seven aunts and eight aunts will be dissatisfied with you, they plot to rebel, you have to suppress them, but you can't kill indiscriminately......

Well, well, far away, the best way is that they don't exist!

But we can't shoot those who surrender, we won't surrender, and we will continue to besiege the city until all the people in the city are dead.

Malacca was besieged for seven months, most of the people died, and the surviving Hongmao fan spread the bad deeds of the Chinese, when in the later stage of the siege, the Chinese had the opportunity to attack the city but did not come, and the plot to trap everyone was revealed.

Under the favorable situation of the defenders in the city being terrified, the Chinese obviously had the opportunity to attack the city but did not come, and they had bad intentions!

That night, the high-level of Hongmaofan held a meeting to discuss the matter of the peace war, and everyone was silent about the combat effectiveness of the Chinese, and they thought they had an understanding of the ideas of the Chinese.

If the Chinese attack, the red-haired fan will not be able to turn the corner for a while, and it is likely to fight to the death.

Of course, it is possible to surrender, and the situation of the war will change in an instant, and no one can say for sure.

Now if you don't attack, you will attack, and if you attack the heart, Hongmao Fan has this idea: "There are always Diao people who want to harm me" Well, "If the Chinese don't attack, they want to kill us!" ”

Hongmao Fan scared himself: "They deliberately want to trap us!" ”

We can't do what they want, we can't die!

Even the most resolute main battle faction could not harden their mouths after seeing the fire and bomb offensive of the Southeast Army.

That's it, the red hair has dropped!

The envoys sent out met with Zhang Shouyun, the chief general of the Southeast Army, and the two sides negotiated peace, and the conditions were lenient, including the following:

1. All people don't have to die, and the Southeast Army guarantees their personal safety;

2. The armaments, materials, and property in the city belong to the Southeast Army, and the Hongmao Fan is allowed to carry personal property worth no more than ten silver dollars;

3. Someone outside pays a ransom to those who surrender, and the uniform price is 300 silver dollars for officers, 50 silver dollars for soldiers, and 10 silver dollars for the rest of the people, and they can leave after receiving the ransom;

4. Those who fail to pay the ransom shall be freed by working for the southeastern country for one year.

5. The working hours shall not exceed 12 hours, and the food shall be guaranteed;

6. The clergy are released immediately!

……

Because the Hongmaofan resistance was not long, there were no casualties in the Southeast Army, so they were given leniency, and the punishment was still necessary, so as not to break the rules, but only a small punishment.

The shadow of the tree of people's reputation, the Chinese have the reputation of leniency, the city of Colombo surrendered, 3,000 troops entered the prisoner of war camp, and the rest of the people lived in place.

Hongmao Fan was unhappy, but he was not very sad, the Chinese were treated according to the treatment of officials and soldiers, nobles and officers were treated better, and soldiers were slightly worse, but at least there was coarse bread to eat.

After collecting the property, materials, and armaments, the red-haired fan was shrewd, and transferred the property in advance, and only received 200,000 Spanish silver dollars, but there were more than 100 artillery pieces, more than 7,000 muskets, plus a large amount of black powder, which could almost be used to equip the strength of a division.

The surrender process went smoothly, and the Hongmaofan did not destroy the arms and equipment, allowing the Chinese to collect various supplies smoothly.

Organize captives and citizens to clear the ruins of the city, clean up the rubbish on the ground, carry away the dead, and build scaffolds to house the people.

The Chinese have a foundation in Colombo City!

Overnight, a "Colombo City Working Committee" was established, headed by civilian and military officers of the Southeastern Army, which absorbed the local people into the work of the committee, and then divided the jurisdiction below, and established the rule in an instant, and began to assign people to work.

Overnight, the first Red Fur captives were released, and Mr. David paid a ransom for 68 Britons in Colombo to set them free!

Similarly, the foreign generals Kostet and Siresma paid a ransom for 72 Dutch and set them free!

No wonder the ransom is not set very excessively, it is convenient for the former red-haired fan in the southeastern army to pay for the prisoners.

This was modeled after Saladin's magnanimity towards the defenders of the city after he conquered the Holy Land of Jerusalem.

On September 2, 1187, after thirteen days of siege, Jerusalem was unable to resist Saladin's army, and they surrendered to Saladin the Conqueror.

According to the agreement signed at the time of surrender, a ransom of 10 dinars was to be paid for each man in Jerusalem, 5 dinars for each woman, and 1 dinar for children. Those who could not afford to pay became slaves. Saladin waived the ransom of 7,000 poor people. Saladin's brother demanded 1,000 slaves from Saladin and set them free. The Bishop of Jerusalem followed suit and demanded 700 slaves from him and then released them. In the end, Saladin himself announced the release of all prisoners of war without a penny of ransom.

Yan Changwu announced the payment of a ransom for all the Hongmao Fan prisoners of war (pure Europeans) and their families, freeing them so that they could return to the land of Christ.

Looking up to Saladin, we Chinese are also civilized people!

The rest of the 2,000 motley armies (i.e., West Asians, Arabs, Negroes, Asan, etc.) were not so lucky, and they were not released.

However, the Southeastern Army announced that they could join the Imperial Allied Army, serve the Chinese, be responsible for maintaining law and order, and prepare for use on the Indian mainland, so that the treatment would not be bad. (After study, training and rectification, those who are not qualified still have to work)

The 110,000 Ceylon natives in the city, although they had to work for Yan Changwu, were hardly affected, and there was no phenomenon that the Chinese regarded them as slaves and killed them at will.

Such a river crab, everyone is happy!
