Wrong!

Although it was only a glimpse, one, still saw the difference in the underwear of this Philip next to him, although it was only a slight wear, but one, still sensed that it was impossible.

As an official sent from the Bataviaan side, his income must be very high, as a rich man, how could he wear such old clothes, for them, the underwear may even be worn only a few times, and then it will be thrown aside and no longer worn, and the clothes will be worn out? That's a beggar's thing.

And this Philip next to him is not only wearing an old shirt, but also there seems to be some wear and tear on his sleeves, how is this possible?

However, it is not impossible, if he is a very stingy guy, then it is not impossible, but can he be a very stingy guy?

To be sure, in Batavia there are all sorts of people, but very stingy guys...... It is very rare, even rare, because in Batavia they are not just businessmen, but also politicians, and as businessmen they can be stingy, but if they become stingy as politicians, then they have no future.

But why did he wear such old clothes?

Just as he was thinking, in the cheerful sound of drums, thousands of Dutch soldiers and mercenaries lined up had already entered the city of Geranza in the welcome of the people, and the gate that once seemed impregnable was open to them, and among these Westerners, Lin Nengchuan, who was also dressed in Western clothes, couldn't believe that the city of Geranza had opened its gates to them so easily, allowing them to easily blend in.

The psychological quality of the sailors may be the best, after all, for the sailors, they do not know how many winds and waves they have seen, although it is indeed a little nervous to deceive into the city of Geranza in this way, but they just swaggered in, without the slightest concern, it seems that for them, they are now reinforcements from the Dutch. But as they entered the castle, their eyes were constantly looking at the people around them, especially the soldiers and the passage leading to the top of the fortress, and they knew that if they could get the remaining thousand taels of silver, they would see if they could take the fortress.

Fortunately, the fortress is not very large, and the population of the city is not large, and it can't even match their numbers, which means that if they can sneak in, they will be able to take the fortress, of course, if they can blend into the castle, and now, they have attacked the castle.

Now all you have to do is wait for the signal......

Seeing that the troops had begun to enter the city, Philip secretly thought, he still needs to wait for the signal to capture the city, all the plans are made by Zheng Zhilong, without his signal, they can't even attack, everything has to go according to plan!

At this moment, suddenly there was a rush of bells above the castle, it was an alarm!

"Ming people ......"

The Dutch soldiers on the fort shouted excitedly as they pointed to the sudden appearance of warships on the horizon in the distance.

It's a warship of the Ming Kingdom!

Although only the shadow of the ship can be seen because of the distance, everyone can see the distinctive hard sails of the dozens of large ships that appear on the horizon.

"The Ming people are here!"

In the shouts of the soldiers, Ichi, looked towards the sea in surprise, looking at the faintly visible hard sail, his heart suddenly pinched, what he had been most worried about finally became a reality, he even saw those who had doubted whether Zheng Chenggong would attack the city of Geranza, and their faces would all turn pale.

Seeing the frightened looks of these people, for some reason, one, suddenly felt the urge to laugh, after all, he knew very well that just a few hours ago, they had doubted his judgment, and now, the fleet that appeared here proved everything, proved his judgment of the situation.

However, although his judgment was confirmed, he could not laugh at all, and he could not even laugh at those who had doubted him, after all, now, as the governor of the city of Geranza, he had to protect this place at all costs, and to keep this fortress that belonged to the Netherlands.

The only thing that made him happy was that before Zheng Chenggong arrived, the reinforcements had already arrived in the city of Geranza, which was the only place that made people breathe a sigh of relief.

Zheng Chenggong is finally here!

Faced with the sudden attack of Zheng Chenggong, first, when he put aside his inner doubts and discussed with Philip how to defend the castle, he didn't know that it was not Zheng Chenggong who came, but Zheng Chenggong's father. In a "warship" on the sea, Zheng Zhilong stood at the stern of the ship, observing the situation of the city through the telescope, and could vaguely see from the telescope that those "reinforcements" had mixed into the city, seeing that the plan was going so smoothly, the corners of his lips raised, and when he stared at the city of Reranza, there was only a feeling of pride.

After all, according to Zheng Zhilong's plan, he was going to give this Dutch castle as a gift to his son, and then return home in a grand manner!

And now, the city has been taken by him!

Although he has not yet captured the city of Relanza, Zheng Zhilong does not doubt that after he sends the signal, it will not be long before the city of Relanza will raise his banner of Zheng Zhilong, and at that time, his true ship king will definitely be able to return to Fujian in a grand manner! is not like an old man who has lost his temper and has to rely on the protection of his son to survive.

For Zheng Zhilong, who was imprisoned by the Manchu Qing Dynasty and lived in humiliation for more than ten years, since he had escaped, he would never be able to let people eat and entrust his life to others as in the past, even if that person was his son!

From now on, his Zheng Zhilong's life can only be decided by him Zheng Zhilong! Others, even the king of heaven, can't do it!

Now that you have the opportunity to start over, you can't miss him! Excited in his heart, seeing that he had approached the city of Geranza, Zheng Zhilong nodded at the artillery on the ship, maybe these gunners have not undergone strict training, but it doesn't matter, after all, all he needs is to add some chaos, so that those people in the city have the opportunity to fish in the water and seize the city of Geranza.

With the sound of the order, the gunners lit the fuses one after another, and with the rumbling of cannons, clouds of white smoke filled the hull, and hundreds of cannons from dozens of merchant ships simultaneously shelled the city of Geranza, although the distance was very far, even far away, but the sound was quite huge, and even startled the Dutch soldiers in the city.

While the Dutch soldiers were startled, they burst out laughing.

"These Chinese guys, they can't fire at all, how can they hit here from such a distance......"

Just as they were laughing loudly, at the same time as their words fell, suddenly, those who had just arrived here, and had not even taken a breath, and were about to defend the city reinforcements like them, suddenly attacked, and carried the swords in their hands towards the nearest Dutch soldiers, although those people were wearing cuirasses, but the assassination close by them did not have time to react, and the sharp swords pierced into their bodies through the gaps in the breastplate.

"What's going on?"

When he was pierced in the neck by the thin sword, Captain Andrew still hadn't reacted, his eyes even looked at everything in front of him a little blankly, watching those reinforcements suddenly turn into enemies, swinging knives at the Dutch soldiers around them, their movements seemed to become very slow, but even so, the surrounding Dutch still didn't react.

After all, compared to the defenders of less than 300 people, the "reinforcements" of more than 1,000 people can easily overwhelm them in numbers, and even make them have no room to fight back.

Compared with the slaughter outside the fortress, only the battle at the top of the Governor's Palace on the top floor of the city of Geranza was relatively fierce, but even so, the battle with mental calculation and unintentional still gave Philip and the others an advantage. However, after a rush, several Dutch soldiers nearby were cut to the ground, and One, holding a sword in his hand, looked at Philip and the others in puzzlement.

"Who are you......

Now, if you don't know anymore, they are not reinforcements, I'm afraid one, you can jump directly from the top of the fortress and commit suicide, and now, although I am very annoyed in my heart, I, still wants to find out what happened.

"Zheng Chenggong hired you?"

These people are mercenaries, that's for sure, after all, they are all Europeans, not Asians, they appeared here, pretending to be reinforcements, it must have come from the hands of Zheng Chenggong, and even the Zheng family sailors who appeared in the open sea must have been to distract him, if he regrets it now, I'm afraid one, the only thing he regrets is why he didn't stop them when he was suspicious at the beginning, and if he was more cautious at that time, how could he let them into the city, now that I think about it, everything is so suspicious,

Fifteen hundred!

When did Batavia become so generous, those misers would never have come up with such a large sum of money to hire so many mercenaries, but he chose to believe, not that he chose to believe, but because he was willing, willing to believe this, he was willing to believe that his judgment was accepted by Batavia, so for this unprecedented scale of reinforcements, not only did he not have the slightest doubt, but even hoped to let the entire city of Geranza know that the reinforcements had come, and they were very large, He wanted to let everyone know Batavia's attitude, and their attitude was to support him, and only in this way could those ambitious guys retreat.

But now it seems that all this is a joke at all, because these reinforcements were asked by Zheng Chenggong to impersonate mercenaries, and after seeing the appearance of these Europeans, he never doubted it, after all, Zheng Chenggong's subordinates are all Chinese, and their appearance is completely different from that of Europeans, because of their appearance, he did not have any doubts about the identity of these people. But he forgot one thing - Zheng Chenggong can hire Europeans as his mercenaries!

My God, why am I so stupid!

When he knew all this, he regretted it a lot, holding a sword in one hand, while asking about the identities of these people, he wanted to confirm his guess, but then the other party's answer made him stunned.

"We are employed by Nikolai Yiguan, one, sir, if you surrender, I can guarantee that you will be treated decently, after all, you know, Yiguan's promise has never been broken in this sea!"

Nikolai Yiguan is Zheng Zhilong's Portuguese name, once upon a time in this sea area almost all Western ships need to get his permission to sail, even if more than ten years have passed, in this sea, there is still a story of him, and one, for Nicolas Yiguan is also no stranger, after all, Nicolas Yiguan also dealt with the Dutch, and even the reason why they were able to gain a foothold in Taiwan was also because of the acquiescence of the other party, and now, he is here......

No, he, wasn't he captured by the Tatars from the north?

"Hasn't he already been captured by the Tatars? How can it be...... Will it be here? ”

One, the rhetorical question, made Philip laugh and said.

"Now, he has regained his freedom and has come here, what Nikolai Yiguan needs is this city, after all, this place belongs to the Ming Kingdom, but he doesn't want to hurt the people here, including you."

Faced with the question of one, Philip deliberately emphasized.

"Your Excellency, you must know that now is your only chance to surrender, and if you miss this opportunity, Your Excellency, I believe it will be the stupidest thing you have ever done in your life, after all, your decision determines the lives of all people here!"

This is not a threat, almost everyone knows that Nikolai Yiguan's promise is reliable and will not be broken, but if anyone violates him, then his revenge is also extremely cruel, he will kill everyone!

One thing is for sure, if this opportunity is missed, Ichi, I believe that Nikolai Yiguan will definitely kill the Dutch who are all here.

Listening to the gunshots and shouts from the lower castle, the sound of killing became more and more rare, and even more mercenaries rushed here from the lower castle, one, the sword in his hand slowly drooped down, and finally he smiled helplessly, and then let go of the sword in his hand.

"Boom ......"

The sword, which fell to the ground, was only a businessman, not a soldier, so, in the face of the current reality, he made a choice that was most beneficial to him and to everyone.

"I surrender! I will order everyone to lay down their arms! ”

Raising his head, he looked directly at Philip, and said solemnly.

"I need you to swear to God, that you will never harm the Dutch in the city, and you will not take away their property!"
