The main targets of the Celestial Army's artillery bombardment of the city of Geranza were fortresses, batteries and ramparts, and did not bomb the city. The main reason for this is that there are still two or three thousand Ming people in this castle, in fact, most of these Ming people live in the slum north of the city of Geranza, and if the shelling continues, it will shell the Dutch residential area in the south of the city.

The simplest and most effective way is to use mortars to fire incendiary bombs, then the city of Geranza will be reduced to ashes, Wang Yue feels that this is too cruel, not to mention that the Dutch have been operating for many years, and the city of Geranza has also accumulated a lot of wealth.

The topic of surrender is too heavy, but Father Van Persie is right, the city of Geranja may not be held for a day, and continuing to hold out will only increase the number of deaths.

After comprehending the artillery bombardment of the Tiance army, Putmans knew that no city walls and fortresses could withstand it, and if the Tiance army was willing, it could indeed destroy the entire city of Geranza with cannons. The street fighting was not favored by him either, and the battle at the south gate of the siege of the city of Geranza by the Tiance army took place, and he witnessed with his own eyes that the muskets of the Tiance army were much more advanced than the arquebuses.

"Colonel Krull, what is your opinion?" Putmans asked with a glimmer of hope.

Colonel Krull said with a lonely expression: "If His Excellency the Governor wants to fight, I, Krull, will resolutely resist and fight to the last man." But as the commander of the city defense, I must remind you that defeat is doomed, and I can only promise to hold on until tomorrow! ”

As if he had lost all his strength, Putmans sat down in the chair behind him for a long time before he said in a murmuring tone: "Forget it, let's surrender, and don't waste more lives." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, sobs came from the room, and many people wept.

The Dutch finally surrendered, and it took just over an hour for the fierce artillery bombardment of the Tiance army and the Apache missiles to destroy all the forts and forts, most of the southern walls were destroyed, the city gates were opened, and the confidence of the Dutch was destroyed.

In history, Zheng Chenggong spent eight months to conquer the city of Relanza, and it only lasted one morning under the fierce shelling of the Tiance army, which was unimaginably fast.

In fact, even if the Dutch did not surrender, Wang Yue's plan was to regain the city of Geranza within one day, and the helicopters would guide the shelling of the main buildings and densely populated areas of the Dutch.

Under the leadership of the governor Putmans, all the Dutch soldiers went out of the city to surrender with their guns and surrendered, and as a loser, Putmans handed over his sword to Wang Yue with both hands.

During the entire surrender ceremony, Wang Yue arranged a special person to take photos and videos of the whole process to record this historical moment.

"Congratulations, Mr. Putmans, on your wise choice!" Wang Yue took the saber and said with a solemn expression.

Listening to Lisa's translation, Putmans bowed and said, "On behalf of the Dutch in the city of Geranza, I ask Your Excellency to fulfill your promise and not harm anyone's life. ”

Wang Yue said: "Mr. Putmans, please rest assured! We will certainly keep our word, and after twenty years of hard labor, we will naturally let you go back. ”

Putmans's heart twitched, he was forty-six years old, and in twenty years, would he still be alive to go to Europe?

This was made clear in advance in the terms of surrender, and he had nothing to say now. The Dutch were also treated differently, with twenty years of hard labor, which was the treatment of Dutch government officials and soldiers. Other merchants, priests, and family members will be subject to hard labor for three to five years.

Wang Yue felt that there was no need to kill them all, and there was no shortage of manpower at any time, especially these free laborers.

The Tiance army began to enter the city, and as far as the eye could see, green smoke was still rising in many places around the entire city, and the originally majestic Half Moon Fort and Ridge Fort were all in ruins.

The armored car climbed the steps and entered the city through the broken gates.

When Wang Yue came to the Governor's Palace, he saw a fallen plaque on the steps in front of the door, he picked up the plaque and looked at it, and found that the plaque had a line written in Latin and Chinese respectively.

"The Doge's Palace!" Wang Yue read his voice softly, he blew off the dust on the plaque and handed the plaque to Yue Shun behind him, and casually ordered: "Put him away, in the future, we can build a museum, put this piece in, and let future generations know what their ancestors have done." ”

"Museum ......!" Yue Shun repeated the word with some confusion.

Wang Yue was a little speechless for a while, and after thinking about it, he explained: "It is a place to display antiques, and this thing may become an antique with historical value, so that future generations can commemorate and cherish our achievements!" ”

Yue Shun still scratched his head incomprehensibly and said, "That means that this thing will be very valuable if it is left for a few hundred years?" ”

Wang Yue looked at the sky speechlessly, it was really difficult to have a common language with people with little culture, and waved his hand: "Okay...... Don't pestle here, let this thing be put away. After letting Regiment Leader Feng finish his work, come here to see me. ”

Liu Ru, who was beside him, pursed his lips and snickered, of course this literary young man understood the significance of the plaque that Wang Yue was referring to.

Wang Yue saw her smiling happily, and said helplessly: "If you are a young lady, you are a reporter with the army, this time our army regained the city of Relanza, which is of great significance, you have to interview relevant personnel in detail, obtain first-hand news materials, and publish it in Ming Pao after writing an article." ”

"Oh!" Liu had no choice but to reluctantly leave.

Seeing that Liu Ru was taken away by Wang Yuezhi, the confidential secretary Li Xuezhu couldn't be happier, and said with a smile: "Commander, let's visit the Governor's Mansion together." ”

"Well, good!" Of course, Wang Yue saw the woman's careful thoughts, but he was also difficult to manage, and accompanied by Li Xuezhu, Wang Yue visited the European-style Governor's Palace.

The Governor's Palace, because of the surrender of Putmans, was not destroyed, but it was not big, and it was finished after a while, and Wang Yue found a chair to rest.

Wang Yue also dozed off when he was tired, and I don't know how much time passed, Li Xuezhu called softly: "Commander, Commander Feng is here." ”

Wang Yue rubbed his eyes and said, "Hurry up and invite Yuanshan in!" ”

Feng Yuanshan got the message, strode in and saluted Wang Yue: "Report to the commander, the city has basically been sorted out!" ”

"Genshan sit, sit down and say." Wang Yue waited for him to sit down and asked, "How is the situation?" ”

Feng Yuanshan said: "Commander Qiyu, our army has captured a total of 1,511 Dutch officers and soldiers in the city, as well as more than 2,300 family members, merchants, and Yi monks. There were 2,952 Han Chinese and 1,543 natives in the city. ”

Wang Yue thought for a while and said: "The Han people in the city should be treated well, the proletarians and poor people are treated the same as the immigrants on the other side of Tamsui, and the affairs of Taiwan will be handed over to you for the time being, and I will go to Hong Kong Island tomorrow." ”
