Tian Bin ran into the city of Shaoxing.

Wei Wuji didn't chase after him, he stopped where he was, and sent a team of men and horses to sweep the surrounding towns and towns, and at the same time sent spies and sentinels to spy on the bandits and rebels around him.

Every time they found a unit, they sent at least one squadron of soldiers to clear or persuade them to surrender, and those who did not surrender, whether bandits or rebels, were all killed, and their belongings and men were confiscated.

After the people and horses have been screened, those who are innocent and willing to return to their hometowns to work as farmers and no longer come out to resist will be given a settlement allowance and dismissed, and those who are willing to stay as soldiers will be organized into a servant army, which will be responsible for leading the way and helping the people to find other bandits or rebels, or identify the squires and heroes who have committed the most heinous crimes in the township, and even some Ming officers and soldiers who have escaped.

Those who committed the most heinous crimes, or who still resisted, and whose thoughts were towards the Jurchens, were thrown into prisoner of war camps, where they were led by a small team to cut down trees, set up camps, repair roads, and help nearby villagers repair their houses.

In half a month, 10,000 prisoners of war were captured, 3,000 servants were recruited, and hundreds of the most vicious squires, landlords, heroes, and even Ming deserters, or Ming officials were executed.

Yang Yangyang sent people to collect 2,000 prisoners of war, and at the same time sent supplies and siege equipment, as well as a dozen eighteen-pounder guns, which were captured by the grapes and the Dutch, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with using them to siege the city.

At this time, Mi Lin had been transferred from his previous position, re-led the army, and set out from Puyun County, all the way by water to attack Shaoxing Mansion from another direction.

After Wei Wuji received the battle report, he immediately left a thousand households to maintain the place, guarded the prisoners, and drove the five thousand prisoners who were willing to make meritorious service to atone for their crimes, and headed towards Shaoxing Mansion.

At this time, Du Ge had already led his army to fight several times with the Qing army besieging King Lu's forces on the periphery of Ningbo Mansion, successfully defeated them, and went all the way to Ningbo Mansion, and attacked Ningbo Mansion with the rebels of King Lu's forces on the periphery of Ningbo Mansion.

The situation was tilted towards the Nanming side, at least in Zhejiang Province, and the situation was favorable to the Jinhua Righteous Army and the forces of King Lu.

But on Treasure Island, Zheng Chenggong is not so good.

Although he was outnumbered, the situation became more and more unfavorable to him as the war dragged on.

One was the hot climate, the harsh environment of the original form of the treasure island, and he could not defeat the Dutch in the short term.

In the beginning, the Dutch had more than 800 defenders in the city of Geranza, and they had advanced arquebuses, advanced rifled guns, and the Portuguese Fran cannons, which they made two-pounder, three-pounder, six-pounder, twelve-pounder, eighteen-pounder, and even the deadly 32-pounder, 36-pounder carons.

The whole city of Geranza is in an irregular diamond shape, and the terrain chosen when the Dutch man-made castle is quite favorable, surrounded by small hills, and on the periphery of the hill there is a moat, and at the slightly higher part of the moat there is a breastwork, behind the breastwork there are all kinds of wooden stakes that hinder the advance of the siege equipment, potholes, barbs, and the terrain is rugged, and there are walls on top.

Behind the city walls are even taller walls, corner towers, arrow towers, gun towers, and even high lookouts, which are nothing, entering the castle, the streets gradually rise along the hills, the streets and alleys are mostly narrow alleys except for the main street, a row of houses, warehouses, stables, behind the cathedral is the cathedral, the cathedral is also a slightly smaller castle, on the diagonal of the cathedral, there are two buildings, one is a garrison building, one is a warehouse, these three large buildings are distributed in three directions in a triangle.

They are then connected by a stone corridor on top of them, with arrow towers, gun towers, and lookouts, which make up the inner city.

There are three gates in the inner city, all of which are made of iron gates.

What's even more desperate is that in the inner city there are houses, blacksmith shops, granaries, shops, and some mansions where the rich live, Chinese, Gothic, and Japanese, and even a small opera house, chapel, arena, and shooting range.

In the center of these cities is a governor's palace, which is a western Dutch-style castle.

It is more than thirty meters high, on a hill that is about ten meters higher than the terrain of the outer city.

Such a defense is simply desperate.

After hearing Zheng Chenggong explain to himself the information he obtained, Zhang Qiang also had a headache, what should I do, is it a street fight with the Dutch?

How many people will it take to build this fortress?

"Your Excellency the Governor, what is even more unexpected is that the enslavement of our Han people by the Dutch, their colonization of our people, and their missionaries used small favors to make those who cooperate with or interact with them think that we are evil people and are here to arrest them, so my first wave of attack is almost to fight against them, there are about more than 2,000 Ming officers and soldiers, and hundreds of Japanese ronin to help them defend the outer wall."

"And this kind of thing?" Zhang Qiang was furious.

"Yes, Lord Governor, in the past half a month, in places that are difficult for us to outflank, they have brought in about 3,000 natives from another city gate, from the primeval forest and mountain passage behind, as if some hobbits, Ilias, Ezos, and Guqiu people, brought them into the castle, and helped them guard the castle."

"I know that those natives on the treasure island are unreliable," Zhang Qiang said as he patted the table.

"Alas, these are the indigenous, they are all people who migrated from various dynasties along our coast, as for the Guqiu people, I don't know, I heard the captives say, they are the people who have been on the treasure island for a long time, the Dutch say that they are the descendants of the early Hokkien and Ezo people, and after breeding, they have intermarried with the fishermen in the Guangzhou area and the Malays in the Nanyang area, as well as the human race left after the aborigines of Brunei intermarried with each other.

They didn't even understand what the Dutch said, but they still loved the Dutch very much, and I heard that the Dutch liked the way they looked, and then some Dutch forced them to have sex with them, and they gave birth to the next generation, and the Dutch called the Simi. ”

Oh my God, Zhang Qiang is so confused, this relationship has made him too much of a headache, compared to high numbers, it seems that this race distribution can give him a headache.

"In addition," Zheng Chenggong said, "do you remember that blessing?" ”

"Blessing?" Zhang Qiang frowned.

"Oh, I remember, it's your Lao Tzu's subordinates, the Qing soldiers are here, the one he withdrew from Xianxia Pass, and then he didn't surrender to the Qing soldiers, after your Lao Tzu was captured by Bolobele, he didn't know what happened."

"Yes, he is the defender of the Red Embedded City, and there is a Dutch lieutenant with more than three hundred people to help him defend the Red Embedded City, and he has already taken refuge in the Dutch."

"Three family slaves." Zhang Qiang said.

"Yes, this scum, if it weren't for him, the court would not have been defeated, so that King Tang almost died in the capital city of Tingzhou." Zheng Chenggong gritted his teeth and said.

"How's it going there?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"The city is slightly larger than the city of Geranza, about ten miles in circumference, but there are more soldiers and horses to defend, Shi Fu with two thousand Ming troops, two thousand pirates, three hundred Dutch, and about 1,300 Westerners in the city, this is not the Dutch, there are Spaniards, Portuguese, English, Venetians, Greeks, I heard that there are also Japanese merchants, and some people born in Nanyang and Nanyang who don't know what to call are defending, with a total strength of about 10,000 people."

"This Westerner likes to give a code name to the next generation of two races and ethnic hybrids." Zhang Qiang is not worried at this time, anyway, there is only one kind of person at that time, the Han people.

"In this way, I will draw some ships from my fleet to form a task force, and I will personally lead troops to attack them with you, and turn the treasure island into the world of our Han people as soon as possible."

After speaking, Zhang Qiang looked at Zheng Chenggong with strange eyes, he was born to Han and Japanese, and he didn't know what the Dutch would call him.

Hehe.
