The red sun was rising, the light was shining, the golden sunlight was sprinkled on the faces of the soldiers of the Ming army, everyone was smiling with victory, and the whole staff was beaming.

The castle of Geranza was taken down in seven days, and everyone was very proud.

Since the Dutch had muskets, in order to ensure the safety of the governor, Qi Yuangong led all the soldiers of the Qi family army to search carefully three times in the entire castle of Gerancha after dawn, until the hour and the hour, he sent a signal to the handsome ship outside, informing the governor that everything was under control and there was no danger.

Soon, Zhang Bin was surrounded by a group of generals and strode into the castle of Geranza.

He didn't wander around as soon as he entered, but first visited the wounded Ming soldiers and carefully examined their injuries.

Fortunately, because it was dark at night and the visibility was extremely low, the Dutchman's musket basically became a blind man's eye, it was just an ornament, and there were not many soldiers in the Ming army who were wounded by guns, and other external injuries were all trivial, just recuperate for a while.

After inspecting the wounded and praising their bravery, he took a group of generals to take a closer look at the structure of the castle of Geranza.

At this time, the first floor of the castle was roughly completed, and the outer perimeter was a circle of walls almost two zhang high, and inside, near the entrance to the Taijiang Inland Sea, was a huge open space, and on the peninsula side behind it, there were several rows of houses, and other than that, there seemed to be nothing left.

Zhang Bin strode towards the opposite house, and asked Qi Yuangong, who was accompanying him, "Have you searched the house carefully, what are some things?" ”

Qi Yuangong looked left and right, then took two steps, stuck behind Zhang Bin and whispered: "The periphery is all barracks, there are a few study rooms in the middle row, and the others are silver vaults." ”

Silverbank! Looking at Qi Yuangong's cautious appearance, there should be a lot of silver in it, and he asked casually: "How much silver is in total, have you counted it?" ”

Unexpectedly, Qi Yuangong shook his head and said: "The last general never let people count, and after discovering the silver treasury, he asked Zhang to take care of them." ”

This kid, is he quite good at being a man, Zhang Bin nodded with satisfaction, and praised: "Well, it's very good, if you find gold and silver treasures in the future, you must not let ordinary soldiers touch them, the treasures are moving, it is difficult for ordinary people not to be tempted, if something happens, it will not be good." ”

When Qi Yuangong heard this, he nodded solemnly and said, "The last general understands." ”

At this time, Zhang Bin was most concerned about the silver, he turned around and asked Zheng Zhilong: "Zhilong, do you understand the foreign language?" ”

At this time, the term foreigner was not popular, and Zheng Zhilong asked puzzledly: "My lord, what kind of language is foreign language, is there a country called foreign country?" ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, his face was full of black lines, he patted his forehead, and explained embarrassedly: "The Dutch, the Spaniards, the Portuguese, the Franco, the English, etc., all come from the West, and they can be collectively referred to as foreigners, and the foreign language refers to the words used by these people. ”

Zheng He went to the West, Zheng Zhilong, who is also surnamed Zheng, is naturally familiar with it, and he couldn't help admiring: "My lord is wise, the name of foreigner is in line with Zheng He's allusion to the West, it is really appropriate." ”

Zhang Bin rolled his eyes, looked at him helplessly, and asked if you understand foreign language, but you said, what kind of sycophants?

Seeing this, Zheng Zhilong hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, yes, Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish are all about the same, and the last general can understand them." ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he immediately put on a smiling face, nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's good, accompany me to the study to see what good things are in it." ”

The Netherlands, at this time, is the overlord of the sea, their navigation charts, maps and everything are good things that are difficult to buy, and Zhang Bin wants these things most at this time.

In his previous life, he was not so bored as to memorize the map of the world in detail, but he still had the general impression that with the map of the Dutch as a reference, he was able to draw a detailed map of the world.

After passing through two rows of barracks, in front of which was where Qi Yuangong's study and silver treasury were located, Zhang Bin walked forward happily, and a timid shout suddenly came from not far away: "Lord Governor, De. Chief Waite wants to negotiate with you. ”

Zhang Bin turned his head when he heard the sound and saw that a bunch of Dutch soldiers were being tied with their hands behind their backs, and they were being held in the open space between the two platoon barracks.

These people are simply sick in the brain, but Zhang Bin still wants to hear what they want to say, he walked over and said: "If you have anything to say, don't keep using the word negotiation, you were not qualified to negotiate with me before, and now you don't." ”

Morality. After listening to the translator's retelling, Waite said proudly: "I am the commander of the East India Company in Formosa, the captain of the Dutch Navy, you are an indigenous local official, why am I not qualified to negotiate with you?" ”

Aborigines, you want to eat the soil, Zhang Bin listened to the translator's retelling, and immediately said coldly: "You are still so arrogant when you are captured, kneel down and talk to this official." ”

Naturally, they would not kneel, but Zhang Bin did not say this to them, as soon as he finished speaking, three soldiers of the Qi family army rushed up and kicked them in the knee socket, "Click", the three of them knelt in response, grinning in pain.

Morality. Waite knelt on the ground and roared, "You unreasonable natives dare to attack our East India Company stronghold, you will regret it, and you will be devastated." ”

Zhang Bin said disdainfully: "Just by you, a small country? ”

Morality. Hearing this, Waite mocked: "Ignorant natives, do you know how powerful our Dutch navy is, do you think those outside are our warships? Tell you, that's just our merchant ships for transporting goods, the warships of our Dutch Navy are all super battleships, a battleship has at least dozens of cannons, and a maximum of more than a hundred, your so-called warships are a pile of garbage in front of our Dutch Navy, as long as we send dozens of warships over, your Ming Empire will suffer a devastating blow, you know? ”

Zhang Bin was stunned when he heard this, this guy wants to threaten himself for a long time, neurotic, can I not know what your super battleship looks like, nonsense, wasting my time.

What should this guy do, if he is allowed to talk nonsense in the capital, it will be troublesome to scare those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and besides, he must know the amount of silver in stock, if he hands him over, he will not be safe to swallow the silver.

Zhang Bin was frowning and pondering there. Waite thought he was frightened, this guy immediately nostrils turned to the sky, and said arrogantly: "Acquaintances quickly let us go, and then apologize and quit the big guy, our East India Company may not care about you, otherwise, your Ming Empire will be destroyed." ”

Natz also said on the side: "Ignorant natives, if you don't want your Ming Empire to perish, you will obediently let us go and apologize." ”

At this moment, in order to survive, the translator even learned the tone of these two people and repeated it aloud.

When Zhang Bin heard this, his face was cloudy for a while, and suddenly, he coldly pointed at De. Waite, Natz and the translator said, "Drag the three of them out and cut them down!" ”

At this moment, the generals present were stunned, the governor is too arrogant, people just shouted a few words, there is no need to cut people down immediately, right?

Yu Chenglong couldn't help but stepped forward and reminded in a whisper: "My lord, capturing the enemy chief alive is a great achievement, and these people are more valuable alive than dead." ”

You know a fart, I just want to make them lose their value, if they are forced to confess and recruit everything, then I'm not in big trouble.

Zhang Bin secretly scolded himself, and then said undoubtedly: "Do you want the official to say it a second time?" ”

When Qi Yuangong heard this, he hurriedly glanced at the team leader in front of him. The three of them walked to the back of the house.

Morality. Wett finally knew they were scared, and struggled desperately, howling hard.

Zhang Bin looked at them coldly and didn't say a word.

The amount is small and not a gentleman, no poison and no husband, it is better for me to die than to live, then, you must die!

Soon, the howling stopped abruptly, and immediately, the group of Qi family sergeants carried the heads of the three people and turned back from the back of the house.

Zhang Bin glanced at the heads in their hands, and then instructed Qi Yuangong: "Keep the heads, and hand them over when the time comes, these people are stubborn and killed by the musketeers, do you know?" ”

When Qi Yuangong heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The last general understands." ”

Zhang Bin nodded, turned around and walked towards the study.

Soon, under the guidance of the accompanying generals, he entered Germany. Waite's office, which is commonly known as the study of the Ming Dynasty.

There are bookshelves inside, and there is more than one, but it has been turned over a little messy.

Zhang Bin frowned, and said to Zheng Zhilong on the side: "Go and see, what is there." ”

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he immediately walked to a bookshelf, picked up a few books, flipped through them quickly, and then turned around and said, "My lord, this place is full of current accounts. ”

The accounts seem to have value, at least they can know what they do, how much the price of various goods is, and what the profit is, Zhang Bin nodded and ordered: "Well, keep it all, find someone to translate it, and see what else there is." ”

Zheng Zhilong walked to another bookshelf again, flipped through it a few times at random, and then said to Zhang Bin: "This is a correspondence and some miscellaneous books. ”

Zhang Bin nodded and ordered: "Well, save it too, find someone to translate it, and continue." ”

The last bookshelf, on which were all cylindrical scrolls, Zheng Zhilong casually unfolded one and looked at it a few times, then turned around and said, "My lord, this is the map of Dongying." ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, his eyes lit up, and he urged: "Take a look at some other maps, and find out if there are any nautical charts." ”

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he hurriedly opened each scroll and reported them one by one.

This Der. Waite seems to have a bit of a background, and the map has almost everything, what Batavia, Luzon, European, Mughal, Ottoman, etc.

There are also several nautical charts, from East to Formosa, from Formosa to Batavia, from Batavia to the Mughal Empire, from the Mughal Empire to the European continent, and so on.

In the end, Zheng Zhilong turned out a scroll and looked at it for a long time, then turned around and said: "My lord, this seems to be the blueprint of Relan Sha City, but why is it three layers, obviously there is only one layer, and what does this fortress mean?" ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he immediately stepped forward and snatched the drawings in his hand to look at them carefully.

The three-layer fortress, a good thing, has super defense, and it is almost impossible to break through when the weapons are not much different.

He slowly planned in his mind, first completed the castle of Geranza according to the drawings, accumulated experience, and then drew a scoop according to the gourd, and built a fortress in the middle left and Penghu dangerous positions, once completed, the Dutch Navy super battleship had to kneel when it came!

Zhang Bin read the drawings of the fortress, and calculated the harvest of this battle in his heart, so many maps, drawings, materials, and a row of silver vaults, or a big harvest from fighting foreigners, at this moment, he couldn't help but be full of expectations for the Spanish stronghold in the chicken coop in the north.
