Six days later, Trier and the others took the two armed merchant ships to the sea of Taitung, and then crossed the Bass Strait and headed south, and finally returned to Manila City, Philippines. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Of course, before that, Trier had already reported the loss of Taipei and the fictitious war exploits to Manila Governor López in the form of a flying pigeon on the ship.

Trier and the others had just come ashore, and he was about to return to the camp with the soldiers, when a soldier came and said that the governor of López wanted to see him alone.

Trier hesitated, but went into the city with the soldiers first, to the Doge's Palace.

In a luxurious and spacious office, with a scarlet carpet on the floor and precious oil paintings on the walls, Trier waited for a long time to see the bald Governor of Manila, Spain, Lopez, who walked out of the side door of the office, and then sat behind a large mahogany desk, holding a pipe in one hand and tapping the table rhythmically with the other, in a very casual gesture, to meet Trier standing opposite.

Trier lowered his head and reported the loss of Taipei to López again.

He finally emphasized: "Mr. Governor, because our army and the Chinese army are fighting bloodily, these yellow-skinned monkeys are already terrified. So the compromise proposed by the following was agreed to continue trade with our Spanish Empire. Mr. Governor-General, under the cover of these terms of trade, this has created favorable conditions for our army to recapture Taipei in the future. ”

Unexpectedly, after listening to Trier's passionate and generous narration, López, who had been smoking a pipe, did not have too many expressions on his face, but added a lot of gloom.

"Mr. López, I'm done。。。。。。"

"Oh, is it all over? It's a really exciting and good story, but I've heard another version of the loss of Taipei, and I wonder if Mr. Tertier would be interested in hearing it. López took a deep drag on his cigarette, a sneer on his face.

Trier's face froze.

"Mr. López, you 。。。。。。"

López looked coldly into Trier's panicked eyes, and then, lightly clapping his hands.

"Ahh It's you, Azusena! “

Trier's eyes widened in surprise as he saw Azusena, who had changed her clothes, slowly stepping out of the side door, and then standing next to López.

"That's right, it's me." Azusena's face no longer had the slightest coquettishness from before, but changed to a cold expression, and she said lightly: "Now that it's over, I'll just say it straight, I am the pair of ears and eyes that Mr. López arranged for you, I'm sorry I have to expose your lies, because I want Mr. López to understand the truth." ”

After Asusena finished speaking, she said to López: "Mr. López, my Spanish Taiwan garrison could have repelled the Chinese by holding on, but the Trier garrison officer was greedy for life and feared death, and personally ordered surrender, so our army had to surrender to the Chinese, and I think that the entire responsibility for this defeat should be borne by Mr. Trier." ”

"Shut up! Azusena, you stinking. Child! You shameless bitch! At the beginning, I wanted to fight to the death with the Ming army, but you were afraid of death, and I was afraid that the Ming army would be unfavorable to you after breaking the city, so I repeatedly persuaded my official to surrender. Now it's coming to the bloody mouth, and I'm going to blame it! Do you still have the slightest shame, and do you have the slightest conscience! I'm a of you. Zi spent so much money, thinking about pleasing you every day, but he didn't expect that you were a vicious dog that couldn't be fed。。。。。。 ”

Trier scolded, and he rushed over frantically, trying to catch Azusena, who looked indifferent like a stranger, but was dragged by the guards next to him and couldn't move.

"Enough!"

López shouted angrily, and his fat finger poked at Trier: "Mr. Trier, be careful with your words, don't lose your grace and decency. As the Governor of Manila, Spain, and as your boss, this official will naturally have a fair decision on this matter! “

Trier listened to López's words and laughed out loud instead: "A just decision? That's a nice thing to say. It's clear that you want to kill me, so you let this secretly planted by my side. Son, come and attack me in a big way. You despicable and shameless guy are still pretending to be a good person! López, God will punish you! Even if you can live a few more days, you will never escape the end of going to hell to be the company of the devil! “

"Bang!"

Lopez, who was flushed, slapped the table and stood up: "Trier! You bastard, Ben Governor asks you, you always lost this place of Taipei, right? You, the Taiwan garrison, should always be held primarily responsible for this defeat, right? According to Spanish law, if you are such a defeated general, the governor can sentence you to hang! ”

"No, damn it, you don't have the right to do that! I am a relative of the Spanish royal family, a cousin of King Philip IV, you stupid fat pig, you have no right to dispose of a royal officer casually! ”

Terrier yelled at him angrily, his face flushed with blood, and his forehead swollen.

A sneer appeared on López's face, and he didn't speak again, and ordered the guards to put Terrier in jail.

Watching the guards drag Terrier, who was yelling and struggling, down and disappearing around the corner, López let out a long breath and sat back in his chair.

"Mr. López, you're finally satisfied."

Azusena leaned over softly, smiling in, most of her exposed breastballs almost clinging to López's extremely neatly trimmed beard.

López laughed, then turned his head and kissed Azusena deeply on her soft and jade-like ***, and then said softly: "To tell you the truth, Azusena, you have been with this Mr. Trier for so long, have you really not been moved by him?" ”

Azusena raised her head, but her face was full of disdain: "Tempted? Maybe there were. You know, if it weren't for his money, do you think I would be willing to leave Manila and go to that remote Taipei? And now Trier, all his family wealth and belongings are detained by the Chinese in Taipei, you say, will I still be tempted by such a complete poor bastard? ”

"Good." López praised: "My Azusena is a very wise person. ”

"Mr. López, in my opinion, you should be more afraid that if Trielle returns to Madrid alive, he will speak ill of you to the emperor, so that the governor will bear the main responsibility for the loss of Taipei." Azusena sneered, tilting her head to look at him.

López had a slight look of embarrassment on his face, and he gently squeezed Azusena's plump buttocks and smiled, "You are such a clever little thing, Ben Tu can't hide anything from you." However, Terrier lost Taipei, so he naturally had to bear the main responsibility, and of course he was a distant relative of the royal family, but the governor had to keep things secret. ”

'Whatever you want, what you want to do with him is your business.' Only, you have to remember to compensate me. Azusena leaned over in a louder and more angry voice, and two jade lotus-like hands, like two agile and smooth little snakes, wrapped around López's neck.

López's beard trembled, but there was a lewd gleam in his eyes, and he took her into his arms and kissed her while muttering, "Don't worry, sweetheart, of course Bendu will compensate you well." Moreover, after our army recovers Taiwan in the future, I will arrange a more handsome and pleasing man to be your lover。。。。。。 “

That night, Trier, who had been in a dark and rancid cell, had been sitting in the prison for a long time, when he suddenly saw two grim-faced guards with a man who looked like a lawyer, open the cell door, and enter together.

"Mr. Trier, because you are a distant relative of the royal family, and there is insufficient evidence to lose Taipei, Mr. López has decided to release you for the time being, pending the collection of evidence, and then the trial."

The lawyer read this passage to Trier with a blank face, and ordered the guards to open the shackles and shackles on Trier's body.

He didn't react for a moment, he looked at the lawyer in a daze, his face shocked.

The lawyer smiled and raised his hand slightly: "Let's go, Mr. Trier, get out of here and go home, and we'll let you know when the trial officially begins." “

Trier got up and staggered out of the prison door.

Soon, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he jerked his feet and ran frantically towards the exit at the end of the corridor.

The lawyer sneered, waved his hand lightly, and the two guards immediately lit the already loaded handcuff in their hands.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The gun rang off twice, and Terrier heard only one.

Two buckshot bullets from behind, one hit him in the back, and the other shot shot him directly in the back of the head.

Trier slammed to the ground, his eyes wide open and his face twisted and hideous.

"Very well, let's clean up this place, and then we'll report back to the Governor." The lawyer took off the small round lenses and wiped them with a piece of fine silk, and said lightly: "It is extremely irrational for Mr. Terrier to try to escape from prison while he is in prison awaiting interrogation, alas, it is really an extremely irrational approach. So, when our guards could not stop him, they had no choice but to shoot him, wasting all the painstaking efforts of the Governor, Mr. López, who was bent on rescuing him from prison. It is really lamentable that a man of such dignity and dignity as Terrier should end up in such a sad and sad end。。。。。。 “

After receiving the exact news of Trier's death, López wrote to the Spanish Emperor Philip IV.

In the letter, he angrily denounced Trier's grave sin of abandoning Taipei in fear of death, and his despicable act of attempting to escape from prison after being arrested by his own order. Of course, López emphasized in the letter that although Trier was incompetent and defeated, because he led the reinforcements in time and fought bloodily with the Chinese, although he failed to recapture Taipei, he forced those yellow-skinned monkeys to continue trading with the Spanish Empire, thus creating favorable conditions for the recovery of Taipei in the future.

After watching the messenger take the sealed letter with beeswax, López let out a long sigh of relief with a smug smile on his face.

At a time when the Spaniards were attacking each other and demolishing Taiwan, Li Xiao at this time was discussing the next step of Taiwan's colonization with his subordinates.

According to Ding Youyu's report, although the number of plains in Taipei cannot be compared with that of Taichung and Tainan, there are at least nearly 2.6 million mu of land available for development, and the amount of cultivated land that can be cultivated is considerable.

Ding You's report made Li Xiao very happy, and he ordered that the newly established Taipei County be the main city, and that the subordinate counties of Tamsui, Zhuyan, Huangshan, Xingang and other places should be set up as townships and towns, a total of 15 townships and towns, and when the next group of displaced people came, priority would be given to the county seat of Taipei to be reclaimed.

As for the 500 familiar servants, Li Xiao thought about it for a long time, thinking that they would be extremely helpful to consolidate his rule in Taipei and to contact and govern the nearby familiar tribes, so Li Xiao decided to let them all stay in Li Xiao's army, and pay them a monthly salary according to half of Li Xiaojun's auxiliaries.

Li Xiao's absorption and arrangement of these familiar servant troops made these familiar servant troops who were originally panicked very grateful and happy, and they swore allegiance to their new master, Li Xiao.

Because the land of Taipei, which was originally occupied by the Spaniards, was still a wilderness after some development along the Tamsui River, all kinds of arrangements were quickly discussed.

Next, Li Xiao and others began to focus on how to attack and eliminate the Dutch entrenched in southern Taiwan.

Ding You, the head of the Taiwan colonization group, felt very inappropriate about Li Xiao's plan to strike while the iron was hot and immediately march to eliminate the Dutch in the south.

He persuaded Li Xiao: "Lord Li, now that our army has just occupied Taipei, and it is not yet very stable, how can we immediately attack the Dutch who have been entrenched in Tainan for a long time. Besides, the Dutch only signed an agreement with our army at the beginning of the year, agreeing on a two-year armistice, and now, it is only one year, how can they be so untrustworthy and break the contract to attack? ”

Ma Huaxing, the deputy head of the regiment, also said with a hesitant face: "Master Li, there is a way, if the name is not right, it is not good, our army is a benevolent and righteous army, and this violation of the alliance and the breaking of the contract is really damaging the prestige of our army." In the next steal, it is still necessary to wait for the armistice period to expire before sending troops to attack, it is appropriate. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, before Li Xiao could speak, Li Dingguo spoke first: "Two, what you said is not right. This agreement and the like are just temporary reliance when the strength is insufficient, how can you let yourself draw the ground into a cocoon and bind yourself? Now that our military has defeated the Spaniards and occupied Taipei, it is precisely when the morale of the army is greatly boosted, and it is just when the Dutch in Tainan are caught off guard by taking advantage of the victory and attacking! ”

After Li Dingguo finished speaking, Luo Zheng, deputy commander of the Pingnan Battalion, also echoed: "Battalion Commander Li is right, now that our army's momentum is high and the military spirit is available, it is time to sweep away the Dutch in Tainan. You know, if we wait until the Dutch are fully prepared, mobilize troops, and fortify the city, it will be difficult for our army to attack again. ”

Seeing that the four of them were arguing, Li Xiao, who had not spoken, finally spoke: "Everyone, don't fight anymore, in Benbo's opinion, what both sides said about raising troops to attack the Dutch in Tainan is reasonable. ”

Hearing Li Xiao's words, everyone suddenly stopped arguing, and the four of them all looked at Li Xiao with a strange look, as if they were thinking, what kind of medicine is sold in this Master Li's gourd.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Li Xiao continued to smile and said: "If our army takes the initiative to send troops and abandon the alliance and break the treaty, it will indeed be a big violation of faith and reputation, and it will make us fall into trouble and trouble in the future international affairs exchanges. And if our army can only stubbornly abide by the treaty and give up the current good morale and fighters, it will also rest on its laurels and draw the ground as a prison, which is really not enough. ”

"Then what does Lord Li mean, but what are you going to do?"

Seeing Li Xiao talking like this, the four of them asked almost in unison.
