Chapter 43: Surrender

His shouts finally ended the fight.

Who else can have a ruby top? Isn't this battlefield just that one first-class master? Those elite soldiers of the Eight Banners who were struggling to support under the siege of the Ming army twice as large as themselves, when they saw Shi Wenbing's head in his hand with his braids, they were all deflated, and with the first to lay down their weapons, the rest also put down their weapons one after another, and some of them who were crazy and still resisting were also stabbed down by the Ming army's bayonets.

The 1,000 and 8 Banners were wiped out.

More than 400 people were killed, more than 300 surrendered, and the rest were wounded, but it is clear that the Ming army is not ready to take prisoners, and those who are not injured can be kept as coolies. The two battalion commanders gave their subordinates a look very tacitly, and then the soldiers with rifles searched on the battlefield, and when they encountered the wounded Qing soldiers, they directly stabbed a bayonet in the chest, and those who surrendered all knelt to the side tremblingly, and no one dared to say anything.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Feng Zhen left a sentry soldier to escort the prisoners to Zhoushan, and by the way, he also put on Shi Wenbing's head and official hat, and also let the people of Zhoushan see what the Eight Banners elite soldiers are, you must know that this is the legendary invincible existence, it is estimated that after seeing these people, no one will be afraid of them anymore. As for the casualties of the Ming army temporarily handed over to the common people in the back of Zhanmao, in fact, there were dozens of casualties in total, all of them were killed and injured in hand-to-hand combat, but even the casualties of the Qing army in hand-to-hand combat were far greater than those of the Ming army, and I have to say that the Eight Banners at this time have really begun to be abolished. After these people informed Zhoushan, they arranged for a cart to pull it back, while he and Du You led the rest of their men to continue to advance towards Luomen Harbor, and when they reached beyond the range of the Dutch guns at sea, they stopped and waited for the field artillery battalion behind, and it was not long before the latter also arrived, and then chose a suitable position to set up the eighteen twelve-pounder guns.

Mock at sea watched the scene with a telescope speechless.

Although he considered that the Tatar general was likely to be defeated, the speed of this defeat was too fast, and he had just disappeared from his sight for less than two hours, and when he came again, it would be replaced by the Ming army, did they come to fight or did they come to commit suicide? If this is the most elite army of the Tatars, then he is now really curious how they conquered this huge country half a century ago?

Since the Qing army was defeated, there was no point in continuing to fight, and then this guy ordered the fleet to retreat.

However, it was then that he realized that he could not leave.

"Ming fleet!"

With a series of panicked shouts, countless white sails appeared from the sea to the south.

"There's it too!"

At the shout of a sailor, on the eastern side of the sea, a large white sail also appeared.

They were surrounded.

It was Zheng Jian and Ma Boss who came from the south, and after the two of them met, Xu Jiugong was so frightened that he immediately ran away, and then they bypassed the Shen family gate to kill.

Coming from the east was Yang Feng, he had just beaten the Fujian Navy Division to less than ten warships, and got a report from the clippers sent by Zhoushan, knowing that the Dutch fleet was forced to retreat by the Shenjiamen Fort and looking for a place to land in the north, Yang Feng immediately led the fleet to bypass Putuoshan Island and blocked the retreat of the Dutch fleet, and now Moke and his remaining nine warships were surrounded by more than 70 large and small warships of the Ming army, arc-shaped outside Luomen Port.

Moreover, the Ming artillery on the shore was also on standby, as long as they were close to the coast, they would immediately be used as targets.

After some hesitation, Mock decided to negotiate a settlement.

"Negotiations? You are not qualified to negotiate, and you now have only two options, surrender or die. ”

Yang Feng sat on the Valkyrie's own throne and looked at him and said.

"Your Excellency, don't think that you can stop us with these boats."

Mo Ke said proudly, and then looked at the Ming warships on the sea with disdain, indeed, the Ming army only has two warships that can match them, and they still have nine, as for the remaining battleships, although there are quite a lot of them, they are all small ships with a displacement of one or two hundred tons or even dozens of tons, and the most is only equipped with a dozen guns, which is completely incomparable compared with his battleships.

Of course, it is better not to fight if you can, after all, the shells of the Ming army are too ruthless, which he is very impressed.

"You can try it."

Yang Feng said absentmindedly.

He is indeed absent-minded, this guy is studying how to fight back, Kang Mazi has to slap him back for such a moment, and he has to return the slap so hard that Brother Ma's eyes are full of stars.

"Your Excellency, I must warn you that it is better to think clearly about who we are."

Mock said menacingly.

"You are endless, if you have the guts, let the horses come over to fight, if you don't have the guts, shut up for me, go back honestly and prepare to surrender, and return your identity, isn't it just a group of poor ghosts who can't get along in Europe and come out to dream of getting rich? You think you're one of those rich people in Rotterdam sitting in an office with a wig and signing checks? Do you think the Dutch government will pay for the East India Company's ruined business? Even what about the Dutch government, forgetting to be beaten all over the ground by Louis and almost ruining the country? ”

Yang Feng squirted violently like an outburst.

He didn't worry about offending the Dutch, the Spanish throne scuffle was about to begin, and the Dutch had no time to care about him.

"Huh?!"

Mock looked at him aggrievedly.

He really didn't expect this pirate leader from the far east to know everything.

"I repeat, now you only have two choices, surrender or die, if you still dream of breaking through, then just let the horse come, I'll be waiting for you here."

Yang Feng said with a sneer.

Surrender or something, it is still difficult for Mork to accept, although the current situation is not in his favor, but at least in his opinion, it has not reached the point where he needs to surrender, after all, he still has hope in terms of pure strength comparison.

In this way, the negotiation between the two broke up unhappily, and then Mok went back and ordered a breakthrough, and nine Dutch warships launched an attack in the direction of Yang Feng with great momentum, but unfortunately it didn't take long to be beaten back, and even Yang Feng did not use high technology such as bazookas, and directly used naval guns to bombard, and sent a Dutch warship to the bottom of the sea at the cost of losing a warship.

Of course, the main reason is that he has no rockets at this time, not only are there no rockets, but even grenades are left, not only are they not on the ship, but he also has no more in the arsenal of the Great Marshal's Mansion, and this battle has exhausted almost all of his ammunition reserves, and at this time there is still a batch of bullets and a few grenades.

After the failure of the breakout, the Dutch held out for another three days, and finally had to raise the white flag and choose to surrender to the Ming army.

"Your Excellency, I hope you will treat us in accordance with our status."

At the surrender ceremony of the Valkyrie, Mo Ke handed his sword to Yang Feng with a gloomy face and said.

"Yes, I will treat you like a captured knight."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

Poor Mock did not understand what he meant, and it was not until a few months later when representatives of the Dutch East India Company came to negotiate. Captured knights, if they don't pay the ransom, they will definitely not be released, and since they are captured knights, the ransom is naturally very high, because the Dutch East India Company is unwilling to pay such a huge sum, and in the end they have to pay off their debts with their jobs and be taken to the coal mines in Keelung to work as coolies. It wasn't until three years later that their families gathered enough ransom money to pay the money, and they were released back to China one after another, but fortunately, they didn't suffer any treatment, after all, such a big animal was also what Yang Feng needed.

As for their ship, it was naturally accepted by Yang Dashuai.

Five of these nine armed merchant ships are equipped with 24 guns, and the other four are equipped with 16 guns, which were originally not so many, and Guo Shenglong temporarily purchased a batch from Macao at the expense of Guo Shenglong, and this kind of firepower is at most the level of gunboats in the European navy, and there is a big gap with the real naval warships, mainly because the thickness of the shell is much different.

In fact, if it is a real battleship this time, it will not be too much, there are two third-class battleships Yang Feng's fleet has to kneel, after all, his cannon is only eighteen pounds at most, and it is impossible to penetrate the thick plank of the battleship from a distance.

Of course, these nine ships are considered large warships for the Ming army, and they still have great potential to be transformed in the future, at least it is enough to bully Kang Mazi, he has already studied how to retaliate against Brother Ma at this time, and the arrival of these warships makes his plan easier to implement.

With the surrender of the Dutch, the battle came to an end, and the Ming army once again won a brilliant victory, not only obtained nine large warships at once, the navy could finally form an ocean-going fleet, but also completely eliminated the soldiers' fear of the Eight Banners and the red-haired ghosts. Especially the former, the prisoner who walked through Zhoushan under the bayonet, and the Jingguan composed of hundreds of heads that were ordered by Yang Feng to be cut off and piled up on the dock for a day, and the head with the ruby crown official hat on the top, all of which washed away the sand sculpture of the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners like a tidal wave, and this name, which once made the entire land of China extremely frightened, collapsed.

"Marshal, what about the captive Tartar?"

The old monk asked.

"Screening, the Han Army Banner People, the Mongolian Army Banner People are all kept, and in the future, Keelung will need enough coolies to open mines, and throwing these people over is also considered waste, as for the Manchu Army Banner People, find a seaside cliff, put it on for the recruits to practice bayonets, stab them to death, and throw them directly into the sea to feed the fish, which is also considered waste utilization."

Yang Feng said very simply.

"Understood!"

The old monk said with a cruel smile, obviously he couldn't wait for a long time.

"Also, tell the brothers that if there is such a situation in the future, you can just stab you to death directly in the face of the Eight Banners, and you don't need to leave any prisoners."

Immediately afterwards, Yang Feng said again.
