The threat of the Ming army, though despicable, was simple and effective, as many of the captured Dutch civilians were family members or acquaintances of the defenders of the castle of Geranza, and no one wanted to see their relatives beheaded by the Ming army.

And all the warships are lost, foreign aid is cut off, the city of Resharan is already a lonely city, and the enemy is the duke of the powerful Eastern Empire, with a steady stream of reinforcements, at this time, as long as the head is normal, everyone knows that the city of Geranza has come to an end, and if it is forcibly defended, everyone can only be buried for the castle!

Although Philip was still determined to defend the city, although he had the highest rank, his soldiers were no longer willing to listen to him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we can't just surrender and let others slaughter us, we must negotiate terms with the Ming people, and ask them to guarantee our lives and wealth!" Philip had no choice but to obey the will, but he was unwilling to surrender directly.

The Dutch soldiers agreed with Philip's opinion, that it was okay to surrender, that the lives of all Dutch people must be guaranteed, and that it was better to keep the wealth they had worked so hard to accumulate, or else they would become destitute if they could return to Batavia.

Through He Bin, the conditions for the surrender of the Dutch were passed on to Chen Yue. Chen Yue suddenly sneered.

"Tell them, I can guarantee my life, but don't think about wealth anymore, don't think about the wealth they plundered from the people of the Ming Dynasty and the maritime merchants, don't even think about taking away a single silver coin!"

The occupation of Dongfan Island is not over, in the future, you will have to emigrate, recruit and train the army, buy military supplies, and there will be more and more places where you need money, how will Chen Yue let the Dutch take the wealth away!

The news of the unconditional surrender reached the city of Reshaland, and the Dutch soldiers in the castle exploded. Isn't it for money to come to the far east and open up a barren place like Dongfan Island? Now the Akito wants to take away all their wealth, which is simply unacceptable.

"Soldiers, how can we leave the gold and silver coins we have worked so hard to save for the Ming people, in that case, even if we can return to Europe, we will be a poor bastard!

There is still enough food in the castle of Geranza, and there is enough ammunition and weapons, as long as we hold on, there is no problem in defending it for half a year and a year! ”

Philip took the opportunity to clamor, and an angry soldier was persuaded to stand up.

However, when the first 100 captured Dutch civilians were escorted to the city of Geranza, many Dutch soldiers wept at the familiar faces of their relatives in the city.

When the Japanese samurai armed with swords stood behind their relatives with a sinister smile, many soldiers suddenly collapsed, because they knew that if they insisted on surrendering, they would never see their relatives again!

"You can earn it again if the gold coins are gone, and you can't get them back if your relatives are gone!" A Dutch soldier threw down his musket and shouted.

"Lapush, what are you going to do!" Philip scolded angrily.

"I also choose to surrender, my sister Kameilan is under the city, I don't want to lose her." Another Dutch soldier laid down his arms.

"The idea of exchanging the lives of loved ones for cold gold coins is too stupid!" More and more Dutch soldiers dropped their weapons.

To Philip's despair, he discovered that the situation was no longer under his control.

"If the Dutch have not surrendered when the time comes, will the grandfather really order these Dutch prisoners to be killed?" Looking at the open gate of Geranza and the Dutch soldiers who walked out, He Bin quietly asked He Ludao.

"What do you say?" He Lu glanced coldly at this Dongfan Island Akito with the same surname as himself, and asked impatiently.

He Bin suddenly shuddered.

With the surrender of the castle of Geranza, the battle against Donfan Island finally came to an end.

From the port of Shenjiamen to the complete capture of the castle of Geranza, it took a total of fifteen days to completely defeat the Dutch and take control of Dongfan Island.

In another time and space, Zheng Chenggong conquered Taiwan for a year, and thousands of soldiers were killed and wounded alone, and finally he himself died soon after conquering Taiwan, and with the death of Zheng Chenggong, the power of the Zheng family gradually declined, and Nanming no longer had the slightest possibility of turning around.

And now, the Manchu Qing Dynasty no longer has the strength to extinguish the Ming, although the Ming Dynasty has suffered successive defeats, there will be no problem in holding half of the country. I have worked hard for the Ming Dynasty to do so many things, I really don't want to get involved in the quagmire of the Ming Dynasty, just open up territory for the Ming Dynasty in this overseas place, and wait until the filial piety period is over, then go back to Nanjing to marry Princess Kunxing, and live a happy life without shame and impatience!

Standing on the highest floor of the castle of Geranza, looking at the choppy sea in the distance, Chen Yue had a smile on his face.

"Prince, these Dutchmen have asked to send them back to Batavia by boat, what do you think should be done?" He Lu came to Chen Yue's side and asked.

Chen Yue handed over the management of the captives to He Lu, assisted by He Bin, who was familiar with the Dutch. Now that Dongfan Island was first occupied, it was the time to show his skills, and He Lu was reluctant to do such a job as guarding the prisoners, so he asked Chen Yue's opinion in order to dispose of these prisoners as soon as possible.

"Send them back to Batavia by boat? It's beautiful! Tell them that I can let them go back, but they have to pay a ransom of 1,000 taels of silver each, and if anyone can hand it over, I will release him immediately, and if I don't have any money, I will work honestly for me, and when I have earned enough money, I will release them back! ”

"Ahh He Lu's mouth suddenly opened wide!

Grandpa Guo is too dark, the ransom of one thousand taels of silver for one person, and the two thousand people who were captured are not allowed to pay a ransom of two million taels, are the Dutch willing to pay so much money? If the Dutch refused to come out, did it mean that he would have to be the prison officer who kept the prisoners in check!

"These Dutchmen are treasures, and to be honest, I don't want to let any of them go. Did you find that these Dutchmen were young men except for children, and they could travel thousands of miles to the East to earn a living, and everyone had excellent skills.

Some of these people knew how to sail, some knew how to make and repair muskets, there were watchmakers and shoemakers, and there were priests who were proficient in physics, mathematics and astronomy. Our Zhoushan army has a lot of people, but most of them are coastal fishermen who can't read big characters, and they are too short of talents.

But after all, the Dutch are not of our race, and they have just been defeated by us, so they will definitely not be willing to serve us, so you will take the means to try to make these people use me, and it is best to let our people learn their skills! ”

Chen Yue instructed He Ludao.

In He Lu's opinion, there is no shortage of talents in Daming, and there is no need to use these Dutch. However, He Lu has an advantage, that is, he never questioned Chen Yue's orders, so although he didn't understand, seeing that Chen Yue attached so much importance to these Dutchmen and handed over such an important matter to himself, it showed that he was still being reused, which made He Lu's heart settle.
