Chapter 457 Farewell

Five days later, on the afternoon of July 7, Lin Xiao and Zheng Chenggong were standing on the balcony of the Governor's Palace, making their final farewells.

"Lord Wang, I don't know when we will meet again,"

Looking at the lively wharf, Lin Xiao's mood was a little excited, "I hope that the prince will cherish it and come to Japan to discuss the country." ”

At this moment, the dock is crowded with people, and it is a busy scene.

The cities of Chichicheng and Geranza were conquered one after another, and once the Dazhi was recovered, the domestic situation became more and more tense.

The Qing army retreated to Jiangbei, but the two Ming armies, which belonged to the small court of Nanning and the Lu Jianguo of Zhoushan, ignored the overall situation and fought each other tense on the periphery of Nanjing, and small-scale conflicts became more and more frequent.

And Xia Bomin's main force is still in Guangdong and northern Fujian, he and Wang Xing with thousands of people to occupy Zhejiang, Liu Xulei is even weaker, after the lone army rushed to seize Suzhou and Songjiang in the south of Zhili, he was no longer able to go north, unable to protect the flank of the Ming army.

Therefore, Lin Xiao decided to leave early tomorrow morning, and the soldiers, with the help of the local people, were making various preparations for departure.

After Zheng Chenggong took the red embedded city, he immediately sent the right tiger guard Hong Chengzhong to lead the town's men and horses to fight dogs, replacing He Shouxin's guard company, and now, he kept his promise and ordered the tiger general Shi Lang to lead a hundred large and small warships to accompany Lin Xiao on the Northern Expedition.

"Master Hou rest assured, if you succeed, you will soon be able to return to the mainland and learn from you,"

Zheng Chenggong stood up, raised his hand and pointed to the dock, and said proudly, "Look at these people, will the big man return to the clutches of Yangyi?" This is the will of the people. ”

Taiwan, a treasure island, has finally returned to the embrace of the motherland after a 38-year absence, and the people in the surrounding villages are indignant when they hear the good news.

Especially the Chinese on the side of Bengang, after receiving the news of the arrival of the army surnamed Guoye, the local leader Guo Huaiyi and others immediately organized more than 2,000 people to respond, and in only half a day, they surrounded the Dutch strongholds scattered everywhere.

The Dutch musketeers who remained in Bengang were already very small, and they were scattered in many small strongholds that could not be supported by themselves, and soon after the siege, they laid down their weapons one after another and obediently left the stronghold to surrender.

Guo Huai's soldiers were bloodless, and immediately after recovering Bengang, he rushed to Dayuan non-stop and came to meet Zheng Chenggong.

Along the way, they spread the news of the arrival of the army of the motherland, and the people passing through the villages heard the news one after another, and rushed to follow them to meet the army.

What made Guo Huaiyi excited was that not only the Han villages were in high spirits, but even the people of the Gaoshan tribe in the Tushe of the North and South Roads also showed great patriotic enthusiasm, and they came to the rendezvous with trucks and other tools, hoping to contribute to the army's battle.

Today, hearing that the soldiers of the captured army were in a hurry to return to China to fight, Guo Huaiyi and other local Chinese leaders immediately organized a group of young men to load a large amount of captured grain onto the ship and send off their soldiers.

"What the prince said is very true,"

Lin Xiao nodded, and then said in a deep voice, "However, the revenge of the Dutch people still has to be guarded against, these guys, relying on the strength of the ship and the gun, have always had no one in their eyes, and they may not be willing to be ......defeated."

Just two days earlier, Governor Felburg had been released.

After signing the instrument of surrender, he led the remnants of hundreds of musketeers and company employees to leave the staff and return to Batavia in three small sea-going ships, the "Ankerwin", "Merton", and "Tybert".

Originally, after the interrogation that day, Lin Xiao was determined to kill Feuerburg and Inukai Jiro.

It is reasonable to be reasonable, Lao Chen's blood of their eleven martyrs, he Lin Xiao must have an explanation.

Although Felburg was not the direct perpetrator, Lin Xiao believed that the main messenger was even more hateful and could not be forgiven, and according to his idea, a public trial should be convened to publicly execute the colonial leader, so as to extinguish the arrogance of the invaders and vent the grievances of the local people.

However, when Zheng Chenggong led his army to the city of Geranza early the next morning, he strongly advocated that they sign a surrender and then release them.

Zheng Chenggong's reason represents the mainstream consciousness of the Chinese in this era - to go to the army and plot!

Zheng Chenggong's proposition gave Lin Xiao a headache, and he hesitated for a long time before making a compromise decision.

Lin Xiao knew very well that Zheng Chenggong's move, at best, was to engage in the set of "repaying grievances with virtue and surrendering without a fight", and to put it more darkly, this may also involve the long-standing complicated relationship between his Zheng family and the Dutch.

However, as a descendant, Lin Xiao knows better that for these Westerners, this set will not work at all.

These Western white-skinned pigs, after 300 years of evolution, have only achieved the eight words of "self-interest and killing, incorruptibility and shame", which is the bandit culture brought by the womb of Western civilization and can never be changed.

How to repay virtue with virtue?

However, no matter how great Zheng Chenggong is, after all, he is a person of the seventeenth century, Lin Xiao thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of a way to convince him, and in the end, he had to convince himself.

In fact, Lin Xiao's reason for convincing himself in the end was rather strange - these sea coachmen were not the worst among the white pigs in the West.

In fact, there are benefits to releasing them temporarily, as his factory is producing a lot of novelty goods, which urgently need to be sold overseas in large quantities in exchange for military spending.

In later generations, it was the Anglo-Saxons of Britain, France and the United States who did the most bad things, but in this era, the power of these white devils was not great, and his overseas trade still needed these Francos and Dutch to maintain.

After weighing it again, Lin Xiao still compromised, and in the end, Zheng Chenggong stepped forward and signed a treaty with Feuerburg.

The focus of the treaty was on the release of all Dutch prisoners by the Chinese side, and the Dutch side handed over all goods and cash to the country's grandfather, and returned to Batavia with only a small amount of food and ships.

To Fairburg's surprise, Lin Xiao added a crucial clause to the treaty - the two sides should stop all hostilities, forget the hatred, and strengthen bilateral free trade.

However, the place of trade must be designated by the Chinese side, and the Chinese side will first open Hong Kong Island as the only trading port, and later, if the Dutch side abides by its peace promise, depending on the progress of trade between the two sides, the Chinese side can consider further opening more ports.

As Lin Xiao expected, this point not only made Felburg overjoyed, but also cried with joy - didn't they forcibly occupy the big people just for the coveted trade rights with China?

This, this, this, I really knew it was like this, why bother in the first place!

This beating was in vain!

Looking at Feuerburg's strange expression, Lin Xiao secretly laughed in his heart, what Lao Tzu wants is not only the integrity of the country?

Wait, and it won't be long before you will painfully find out that this is a bilateral trade, and it is simply a one-sided money!

In the future, the gold, silver and money you have worked so hard to plunder will continue to pour into our Chinese land, and you are still willing!

The only difference is that when you suddenly wake up, as long as Lao Tzu is there, you no longer have to rely on the Opium War to turn the tables!

As for the moment, if you tear up the treaty and take revenge immediately, with Zheng Chenggong, a tiger general, it shouldn't be a big problem.
