After the selection and removal of soldiers who had bad habits and had killed the Chinese people in the past, a total of 237 people were selected. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zheng Chenggong listed these people as a separate company and appointed Captain Nelson as the company commander.

Considering that most of these people know the three Chinese languages, the monthly salary is higher than that of ordinary soldiers.

Hearing that he had been hired as a company commander with a salary of thirty taels of silver a month, Nelson was satisfied.

Company Commander Nelson happily ran up to Zheng Chenggong and said, "General, there are also many mercenaries in Geranja, as long as you are willing to hire them." I'm willing to go and persuade them to surrender!

Zheng Chenggong pondered for a while and said, "Yes, pay attention to safety!" ”

Nelson confidently replied, "Don't worry, General, you're waiting for my good news!" ”

After Nelson said goodbye to Zheng Chenggong, he rode on a fast horse and galloped to Geranza.

Geranza is now heavily guarded, but Nelson is not strict with his own people.

In the name of delivering a message to the Governor of Shoge, Nelson easily walked into the castle of Geranza.

Once inside, Nelson made a beeline for the castle's cat's eye tavern.

When I walked into the tavern, I saw the goal of my trip, Hans, who was sitting in the corner drinking.

Hans was also a mercenary of Germanic origin, and the two were both fellow countrymen, and they had a good relationship with each other overseas.

Nelson walked over, pulled out his chair, and sat across from Hans. "Hey, bro, why do you drink alone?"

When Hans saw that it was Nelson, he said with a happy face: "Thank God, you are still alive!" Man, bring me a bottle of wine. Brother, drink and celebrate that you are alive! ”

Nelson stopped: "Don't drink in broad daylight!" ”

Hans said with a hint of drunkenness: "Alas, you also know that Zheng Jiajun has called, and if you don't drink it now, I'm afraid that you won't have to drink it in the future." ”

Nelson shook his head and said, "How so?" Brother, I'm here today to send you a large sum of money! ”

Hearing the wealth, Hans was drunk and suddenly sobered up. "What money?"

At this time, a guy from the tavern brought a large glass of wine.

Nelson didn't speak, took a sip of wine, and only after seeing the tavern guy leave, did he say: "My current employer is no longer the miser, I have accepted the employment of Count Zheng Chenggong." ”

Hans's eyes widened when he heard this, and he shouted, "What!? ”

Nelson saw that he was busy and whispered, "Dude, be quiet, do you want to kill me?" ”

Hans was a little surprised, "I'm sorry, I'm just too surprised. I didn't expect that the most reputable mercenary would choose a thief to surrender! ”

Nelson took a big sip of wine and said, "What bullshit reputation, people die, can this thing be exchanged for money, what about my family?" Hans, you also know that Geranza cannot be defended, for the sake of your family, surrender! I have already told Earl Zheng that as long as you are willing to surrender, the treatment will not be worse than before. After working for a few years, saving enough money, buying some valuable things in China and returning to the European continent, as soon as it changes hands, we will be rich, and we will no longer have to let our families starve! ”

If it weren't for the money, who would want to go all the way to a strange place to work hard.

For mercenaries, any loyalty, any professional ethics are bullshit, and they can't be bought for people, because the other party doesn't give enough money.

With enough money, they can sell themselves to Satan and oppose God.

Hearing Nelson's persuasion, Hans fell silent.

After pondering for a while, Hans drank all the wine in his glass in one gulp, "Done! Nelson, what do you want me to do? ”

Nelson was overjoyed to see Hans agree.

Hans was very powerful, and he was very prestigious among the mercenaries in the city of Geranza, and with him taking the lead, at least more than half of the mercenaries surrendered.

Nelson hurriedly said: "Hans, you go and persuade some people first, and when the Earl of Huaxia leads the army to attack Geranza, raise troops to respond." Mr. Earl promised that after the deed was completed, he would reward you with a thousand taels, and he would also appoint you as the deputy company commander! ”

When Hans heard the treatment that Zheng Chenggong gave him, he was very satisfied, and hurriedly said: "When you go back, it is best to persuade the earl to act quickly, I heard that Yu Yi has already sent someone to Batavia for help, and he has also sent someone to Huaxia to unite with the Tartars to prepare to attack Zheng Chenggong." ”

Nelson said happily, "Hans, this news you have provided is very important, and the Count will definitely reward you." You go first and contact the man who raised the army, and I will go back and tell the Count at once. ”

Hans nodded, and Nelson grabbed his hat, and left the tavern, calling for the gates to be opened, and to return to the city of Prominsha.

Back in the city of Prominsha, Nelson told Zheng Chenggong the news of the spy.

Zheng Chenggong sneered when he heard it, "The four most powerful warships of the East India Company have already sunk three for my Zheng family, and the remaining one, if it comes, Lao Tzu will definitely send him to the sea to feed the sharks." ”

Nelson hurriedly persuaded, "Mr. Earl, although it is said to be so, there will always be an odd number. The subordinates suggested attacking Geranza as soon as possible! ’

Zheng Chenggong nodded and said, "You're right, it's best to solve Relanza as soon as possible!" Come on, give the order to go down, the three armies pack up, and set off tomorrow! ”

Zheng Chenggong ordered, and the Zheng family's army, which had been repaired for two days, immediately took action.

Leaving 3,000 people to stay in the city of Puluo, Zheng Chenggong marched towards Gelansha with an army of 17,000.

Since Zheng Chenggong led the army to attack Dayuan, Yu Yi has paid close attention to the movements of Zheng Jiajun.

As soon as Zheng Jiajun came out of the city, a spy Pegasus immediately rushed back to Relansha to report to Yuyi.

Hearing that Zheng Jiajun was dispatched, he knew that his reinforcement plan had failed, and he hurriedly walked around.

The envoy for help has just set off for less than a day, and he can't catch up with Batavia at all, and the envoy to the Qing Dynasty is still on the way, so it's too late!

What to do? What to do?

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of a good way, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "Go, ask someone to scuttle all those merchant ships in the port." Don't let the Zheng family's sailors rush into the waterway. ”

Captain Aldorp said worriedly, "Mr. Governor, if you do this, it will cause a strong protest from the merchants!" ”

He shouted, "At this time, where can I take care of those greedy businessmen." Hurry up and do it! ”

Captain Aldorp heard the hurry salute and said, "Yes, my lord! ”

Armed with the order, Captain Aldorp led his men to scuttle the merchant ships docked in the harbor, blocking the entire waterway.

Seeing this situation, the Zheng family sailors who went upfront to the sea hurriedly sent someone to inform Zheng Chenggong of the news, and then went out to sea to inspect the sea area to prevent enemy ships from rushing in and rescue Geranza.

Hearing that the waterway was clogged and the plan to attack Gelanza on both sides of the waterway at the same time failed, Zheng Chenggong was not discouraged.

Even with the Zheng family's army of 17,000 days, it can completely take down Gelanza. (To be continued.) )
