When Luo Jian returned to the mansion, it was already dark, and as soon as he entered the door, Liu Lan asked:

"Xinghua, come back so late, is there news from Taiwan?"

"Yes, today they have entered the city of Geranza, and the overseer is so happy that he can't even find the north." Luo Jian said with a smile.

"I don't think there's anything to be happy about, the Dutch are far from ours, aren't they? This is a pure bullying style. Liu Lan also said with a smile.

"You are looking at it from our point of view, but from the point of view of the overseers, it is not like this, and it is also appropriate to be happy." Luo Jian said.

"Xinghua, do you think we should concentrate on construction next, with our current weapons and equipment, we are already much ahead of this era, right? If we focus on the research and development of weapons, will our economic construction be affected? Liu Lan said.

Luo Jian took the basin brought by Zhang Cheng and washed his face, went to the dining room with Liu Lan, and sat down at the table.

"Liu Lan, I don't agree with you. Although we have won every battle, our weapons and equipment are not much ahead of this era, and the most important thing is our new type of zha medicine, if the Western countries solve this problem, our advantage will be lost immediately. Luo Jian said.

"It's not that easy, but I've heard Xiao Liu say that our advantage in steel is not small, and it is estimated that they will not be able to do it in a short time." Liu Lan said a little carelessly.

"Liu Lan, why are you confused? Many advanced technologies are first used in the military, and military technology can also be transferred to civilian use, if it were not for the progress and improvement of our bullet production line technology. Your bike won't be able to be produced, right? Luo Jian said with a smile.

"Xinghua. I agree with you. I don't know if Xiao Wang can fight Taiwan tomorrow and win it? The apricots are almost born. If he takes Taiwan early, he can also come back early, if he attacks for more than a year like Zheng Chenggong, then when he comes back, his son will call Dad. Liu Lan said with a smile.

"It depends on Xiao Wang's attack tomorrow, if the Dutch resist desperately, it will probably take some effort to take the Red Embedded City, but how can it not be attacked for a year, if you want me to see it, maybe the Dutch will surrender directly tomorrow." Luo Jian said.

Luo Jian's prediction was accurate. Early the next morning, when the Seventh Division had breakfast and was about to take a boat to Chichicheng, Radice rushed back from Taijiang in a small boat.

"General Wang, Commander Commander agreed to surrender, but he said that you must ensure the safety of their lives and property." Radice said.

When Wang Qiang heard this, he showed a strange look on his face, and after surrendering, it was "people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat", what role can the guarantee play?

Radis, however, called out to a man from the side, saying that he was Captain Peddle who had been sent by Murphy.

"Your Excellency, General. This is the peace document that we have drawn up, if you agree. We will lay down our arms. Captain Peter handed over a paper.

Wang Qiang took it and saw that it was a "peace agreement" written in Dutch and Chinese, and although the name was called "peace discussion," the content was basically unconditional surrender, but it was only required to withdraw from Taiwan after surrender.

"No! If you surrender, you are a prisoner, how can any prisoner leave on their own, this is resolutely not good! Wang Qiang categorically denied the peace proposal, and Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong, father and son, were a little dumbfounded.

"Xiao Wang, they are willing to retreat, and we can save the matter of fighting again, why do you insist on leaving them behind?" Zheng Zhilong pulled Wang Qiang aside and asked.

"Where is such a good thing? If you invade other people's countries, you will burn, kill and loot if you can fight them, and if you can't fight them, you will surrender and leave, is this still called surrender? As soon as this example was opened, the faces of our soldiers were lost, no, you agree that our Seventh Division will definitely not agree! Wang Qiang said resolutely.

"Leave them to take care of the food." Zheng Chenggong muttered beside him.

"Rice? It's not that good, I'm going to take the money! Wang Qiang said coldly.

"Translator, you told him that it must be unconditional surrender, what is unconditional surrender, I don't need to explain it to them, right?" Wang Qiang walked over and said to the interpreter.

When Captain Radice and Captain Pierder were negotiating with Wang Qiang, the movement of the Seventh Division did not stop, and hundreds of small ships had already stopped in the Taijiang River, waiting for the Seventh Division to board the ship and cross the Taijiang River to march towards Chichicheng.

Seeing the soldiers of the 7th Division marching from the edge of the city of Geranza in a neat row, Captain Radice saw that it was better, and Captain Peddle's face changed, and he quietly asked Captain Radis:

"Aren't the guns they carry on their shoulders the same muskets as ours?"

"No, theirs is a rear-loading gun, I've seen their shots, and they can be fired in a row."

Ladis was talking about not having to reload one bullet at a time, and Peddle was terrified to hear it.

Seeing two soldiers from the mortar battalion walking past with a mortar, Peddle asked:

"This is also artillery?"

"Yes, it's the same kind of flowering bomb." Radice said honestly.

"How's it going? I don't have that much time for you to discuss. Wang Qiang walked up to the two with an interpreter, and Radice and Piedel stopped talking.

"I'll go back and report to Commander Ding." Captain Pierder said, listening to his intentions, he went back alone, Wang Qiang looked at Radice with some confusion.

"I won't go back, in case the commander doesn't agree to surrender, you have to fight over, and I will die." Radice said honestly, and Wang Qiang burst out laughing.

Seeing that the officers and men of the 7th Division were beginning to board the ship, Captain Peddle ran towards the river with an entourage, fearing that the Chinese army would attack if it was too late.

Wang Qiang looked at his watch, it was only six o'clock in the morning, and he said to Ma Qianjun who was following him: "Order the troops to move slowly, what if they surrender?" It's easy to fight if it's pressed too hard, anyway, we have time. ”

"Xiao Wang, if you really want to fight in a while, the artillery of our fleet will not be able to provide you with fire support." Zheng Zhilong walked up to Wang Qiang and said.

"It doesn't matter, the guns of our artillery regiment have all been removed from the ship, although the caliber is a little smaller. But there are a lot of us. You can rest assured. Wang Qiang said nonchalantly.

"Minister Zheng. Brother Damu, you just stand guard here, waiting for my good news. ”

Seeing that the vanguard of the Seventh Division had crossed the Taijiang River, Wang Qiang said hello to Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong, and was about to walk down from the edge of the city of Gelanza, and he wanted to personally go to command the siege operation.

"Xiao Wang, I'll go too." Zheng Chenggong said to Zheng Zhilong, and chased Wang Qiang over.

Wang Qiang went to the river and looked at his watch. It was already past eight o'clock in the morning, and Captain Peter had been back for more than an hour, and he had not yet replied.

Standing by the river and waiting for all the artillery to be loaded onto the ship, he boarded the ship with Zheng Chenggong and headed towards the opposite bank.

At the time when Wang Qiang boarded the ship, Luo Jian and Shi Kefa were also holding a cabinet meeting in Nanjing to discuss the issue of recovering Taiwan's garrison and management.

"Xinghua, Xianzhi, Taiwan hasn't been taken all yet, right? Are you so confident? Yuan Jixian asked with a smile.

"Brother Linhou, the Seventh Division, it's the Seventh Division attacking Taiwan. Do you think there will still be problems? Shi Kefa said with a smile.

The meeting finally agreed to Luo Jian's proposal, and Huang Fei and Zheng Hongkui led the army to garrison Taiwan. Zhang Zhengchen is the chief executive of Taiwan.

Next, Luo Jian talked to Huang Fei and Zheng Hongkui, and Zhang Zhengchen was talked to by Shi Kefa.

Zheng Hongkui is still in Fujian, and he must immediately be notified by telegram to rush to Nanjing as soon as possible.

The content of the meeting was not complicated, and it was quickly decided, and then everyone eagerly awaited the news from Taiwan.

Wang Qiang and Zheng Chenggong had already landed on the other side of the Taijiang River, and the Seventh Division on the shore had already set up a cordon and was protecting the artillery from the ship to unload the artillery one by one.

Although the city walls of Chichicheng are also quite strong, they are not like the city of Gelanza on the mountainside, and the terrain in front is also quite open, so Wang Qiang quickly chose a piece of flat land as an artillery position.

It took nearly an hour for the artillery to enter the position with some effort for the Seventh Division, and the artillery began to fix the artillery and build firing fortifications.

Wang Qiang and Zheng Chenggong both held binoculars and looked at the Chichicheng City, there was no movement on the city, and the artillery on the city wall could be seen very clearly, but there was not a single Dutch soldier next to the artillery.

Wang Qiang and Zheng Chenggong felt strange, but a white flag was played on the head of the Red Embedded City, Wang Qiang and Zheng Chenggong glanced at each other, and Wang Qiang burst into a foul mouth: "His grandmother's, when Lao Tzu's artillery is ready, he will surrender!" ”

"Xie Kui, you kid come here, hurry up and take a group to quickly occupy the Red Embedded City." Wang Qiang roared.

The surrender process of Chichicheng City was no different from that of Gelansha City, but what made Wang Qiang feel happy was that it was difficult to say that Dayuancheng also surrendered together, and asked him to send someone to receive it.

It turned out that after the surrender of the governor of Taiwan, he became the supreme governor of the entire Taiwan, and it took so long to raise the white flag, and it was because he went to contact Dayuancheng.

He knew that if he surrendered with a thousand officers and soldiers of Chichicheng, there would be more than 800 people left in Dayuancheng, and Dayuancheng did not have a city wall, and with the firepower of the Chinese army, it would not be difficult to capture Dayuancheng, in case it angered the Chinese army, I am afraid that no one in Dayuancheng would be spared.

Hearing the difficult explanation, Wang Qiang's anger that he had waited too long also subsided, and he took the walkie-talkie from his shoulder and shouted at Zheng Zhilong: "Minister Zheng, please answer when you hear it!" ”

"Roger, please!" Zheng Zhilong's answer came from the walkie-talkie, and when he saw this scene, although he was shocked, he felt more and more that his decision was correct.

"Minister Zheng, please inform the 'Qi Jiguang' to send a report to Nanjing as soon as possible, the entire Taiwan Dutch have all surrendered, and the Seventh Division will occupy Chichicheng and Dayuancheng." Wang Qiang said.

In Nanjing, all the members of the cabinet have gathered at the General Staff Headquarters, and they are all anxiously waiting for news from Taiwan.

At 2:20 p.m., the telegraph operator finally ran to the war room with a smile on his face, and handed the folder in his hand to Luo Jian.

"The Seventh Division has entered Chichicheng and Dayuancheng, the Dutch have all surrendered, and Taiwan, which has been occupied by foreign enemies for twenty-seven years, has finally returned!" Luo Jian read aloud. (To be continued.) )
