This is a surrender?

Zhu Zilong didn't even want to do the expression of the superior, he just felt a little unreal. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, in the end, it is the one who has seen the world. Soon his mind came back to his senses, and then he glanced at the Dutch priest who was still waiting for a reply, and calculated in his heart that if he occupied Batavia without blood, he would make a lot of money.

Well, the next second.

Zhu Zilong frowned and said, "What? Is it okay to surrender, but to ask to be able to bring your belongings home? There's something wrong with your attitude! ”

That's what it says, but how much money can some Dutch officials have in their hands?

The wealth of the entire city is the big one, not to mention the defeat of the surrenderer, who is also half a captive. You can also collect some ransom, right?

Thinking of this, Zhu Zilong said again: "However, considering that you have sincerity so quickly. In that case, let the net be open, and as long as the personal property does not exceed five thousand gold coins, there is no need to hand it over. The excess part, sorry, must be left as a ransom. I'll keep you safe, and I'll send a ship to take you away. ”

When the priest on the other side heard this, he thought to himself that this was a blessing from others, and there were only a few dozen people in the entire city whose wealth could exceed 5,000 gold coins. If you still don't agree to this request, how long will you wait?

So, immediately agreed, and then went back to convey.

The gold coins of the Dutch were not equivalent to the gold ingots of the Ming Dynasty, and in fact there was almost no unified national gold yuan system in this era.

However, the gold ingots that are about synthesized into the Ming Dynasty are only equivalent to 1,000 taels of gold, about 100,000 taels of silver or more.

With such wealth, it is natural that you can continue to live a rich life after returning to China.

However, if you want to achieve a great career with this, and you have to move around a little bit of your relationship, I'm afraid there won't be much left.

Of course, if you want to think that Zhu Zilong would be so happy to let them leave with the money, you really think too much.

It may be a bit unfortunate to sail on the sea, and one or two out of ten accidents and drown in the sea, but it is not an exaggeration.

If the face is really black, the mortality rate is as high as 70%, and "600 people went to sea in coffins, and only 40 people came back alive" became a vivid portrayal.

Magellan went out on five ships that year, and only one ship came back alive.

Therefore, if Zhu Zilong is a little black-hearted afterwards, let people pretend to be robbers and rob them halfway. Not only did he gain fame, but the property of the Dutch also came to him indirectly.

Promise them now, it's no problem at all.

Black eats black or something, the current Zhu Zilong, the festival is so low, it is completely done!

(When I used to write about the average life expectancy, many people sprayed me, saying that it couldn't be so little.) At this time, I wrote that the mortality rate of the Age of Discovery was so high, I guess someone would spray me again. ）

Actually, it's not hard to understand at all.

Both the captain and the sailor were at the bottom of society at the time, and the quality of life was rather poor. You can get rich with a fight, just spices, and the profits from India back to Europe are as high as 50 times! For you, do you go?

Besides, there is not much of a problem with the opened up routes, just watch out for pirates, and even less if it is a strong armed transport fleet, except in the event of a war.

Just like Zheng He's voyage to the West, there are nautical charts everywhere he goes, except for the later trip to Africa, there are not too many navigation difficulties.

Moreover, Zheng He's fleet knew how to eat bean sprouts, so they would not get sick and hang up.

In layman's terms, it is for the Europeans of this era.

In a word, if you don't go to sea, do you still want to live a long life? If you go to sea, you may die one day, and if you don't go to sea, you may starve to death one day, you see, there is no difference between the two.

If you go to sea, you will have a woman who is rich and live the life of a superior person, and if you don't go to sea, you may starve to death one day.

There are sheep on the boat, meow, on land, there are no sheep! (Oh, I'm sorry, you're mistaken, the sheep on the ship at that time were not for eating, but for solving the problem of men's xxoo, alas, my festival has dropped again.) ）

At that time, a fine porcelain shipped from China to Europe could be exchanged for equal weight gold, and the British aristocracy still put ginger in red wine to pretend to be forced, and the green tea that was transported was rotten, and it became black tea, and Britain has drunk it with relish until now.

If you think about how profitable it is, compared to the gold and jewelry of Africa and the large number of plantation colonies, you can take a fight and turn your bicycle into a BMW!

You see, this kind of thing is not particularly difficult to choose, and as long as someone comes back, as the saying goes, life and death are life and wealth.

The mortality rate is high or something, and I'm afraid of a yarn, so it's normal to die if I die. (Well, so Zhu Zilong ate black afterwards, the Dutch officials who surrendered, their wealth, still can't run away.) ）

But then again, it is this spirit that allows humanity to continue to progress, just like those who now risk death in space.

The next day, a large number of white flags were raised over the city of Batavia, and when he saw the white flag, Zhu Zilong calculated that he had half of his heart down.

Otherwise, who knows if the Dutch are joking?

Of course, Zhu Zilong would not believe that the enemy would just drop the butcher's knife, so the landing operation should be carried out according to the original plan.

It's funny if you don't arm yourself and make a normal offensive posture and let people play an empty city plan.

The trick of scaring people didn't expect to work at first, but I didn't expect these Dutch, who had made a fortune in Asia, to be cowardly. It really fulfills the old saying, the richer and more powerful people are, the more afraid of death, and the poorer people are less afraid of death.

Those who are afraid of death are not afraid of death, and those who have money and guns, think about it, it seems that there is only one way to go: surrender.

There don't seem to be many civilians in the Dutch city who have an opinion about surrender.

The reason for this is simple.

That's because of the years. It is very common for the European side to surrender, that is, on the side of the Ming Dynasty, because it is a different place, in order to avoid the phenomenon of poor management, it is more likely to ask for and investigate afterwards.

But it won't go too far, otherwise no matter how suitable the conditions of the Dutch are, no matter how afraid of death, they will not surrender so simply.

Of course, because Zhu Zilong is not a barbaric Tatar and will not slaughter the city like Genghis Khan, people will surrender with peace of mind.

When Zhu Zilong came ashore, the priest came again.

This is to inquire and confirm the contract of surrender, and after receiving a positive answer, I returned to the city with peace of mind.

A few hours later.

The Dutch governor of the city, commanding his soldiers to lay down their weapons, pile them together, and then line up with their bare hands. Get out of town!

Take off the war knife in your hand and offer it to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty with both hands!

In a huge square in the city, there is a church next to the square. At this time, the people of the Netherlands were standing near the church, their eyes glazed, waiting for the fate of surrender in the future!

Zhu Zilong said that he would give them away, but he had to go in batches, and he also had to pay for the boat and living expenses by himself.

Not all Dutch people are rich, many of them are also poor, and it seems that the future will not be too easy.

The Han Chinese, who were neither too many nor too few in the city, were even more excited, and they all stood on the side of the road, watching this army, which belonged to the Ming Empire, take over the rights in the city.

This means that in the future, the Chinese here will have the final say. They are no longer third-class citizens, but superior citizens.

The former superior people have all become inferior people.

Is there anything more deserving of joy than this?
