Chapter 440: Zheng Cai's inner shadow
Zheng Cai, who was able to fight in the front, could be said to have underestimated the ability of the Dutch to defend the city of Geranza, which was the capital of Dayuan Island, where the Dutch governor and a group of traders who went to colonize the Far East were stationed. Naturally, it is much more difficult to attack than Chicken Coop City.
What's more important is that the city should have been successfully eliminated by the Dutch, otherwise Zheng Cai would not have been able to attack for a long time, looking at more and more wounded soldiers, Zheng Cai's heart was called a pain, these are his cronies, and if he is disabled, it is equivalent to his advantage being reduced by one point.
It can't go on like this, sooner or later everyone will be folded here, Zheng Cai's heart is not stupid, he knows that if he can't attack for a long time, he will inevitably suffer from it, once the Dutch ease up and mobilize reinforcements from other places, he won't be able to leave if he wants to.
Now while the other party has not recovered his strength, he should quickly withdraw his troops and temporarily retreat from the chicken coop is the king.
As soon as the order was given, Zheng Cai gave the order to withdraw the army, to put it bluntly, the inability to attack for a long time also had an impact on the morale of these soldiers, and they were all discouraged, and when they heard the order to withdraw the army, they rarely showed a relaxed expression on their faces, in the final analysis, the Dutch in the city resisted too stubbornly.
However, as soon as the order to withdraw was given, the troops heard a soldier trotting to report before they finished playing.
"Oh no, General, the Australians have shortened our back road, and there are a lot of people looking at the posture."
The soldier who returned actually didn't say anything, the Australians lined up with cannons aimed at this side, and the black hole hole was very hideous.
If he said it, it was estimated that everyone would listen to it, and the army would be in a big upset, so he chose not to say it, and would tell Zheng Cai quietly.
The most troublesome thing happened, Zheng Cai rubbed his head, he had thought that this kind of thing might happen, but he didn't expect to meet Australians.
What kind of excitement are these Australians coming to join in, this is the territory of the Dutch, okay! It's your business everywhere. really responded to the boss's words, Australians are a-stirring stick wherever they go.
But one thing is for sure, the Australians didn't plan to start a war with themselves like this, otherwise they would have already fought it, as one of the biggest forces under Zheng Zhilong.
Zheng Cai still has a brain, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered Zheng Zhilong so much.
Gathered the soldiers, Zheng Cai was not in a hurry to retreat, and simply waited for the Australians to come to the door by themselves.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Australians to arrive, bringing a thick set of papers.
"General Zheng Cai, I, the political commissar of the third company of the Australian Garrison in Hong Kong, Xiao Ruike. I would like to formally inform you that Australia can unconditionally settle your invasion, but considering that General Zheng may also be misled, we have not taken action, and we hope that you will restrain your subordinates and do not do anything that will hurt you, otherwise we will be very unkind. ”
Listening to the Australian officer's sharp words, Zheng Cai was stunned, and only understood a few words throughout the whole process. This is Australian territory, don't mess around with your own subordinates, otherwise the Australians don't care if something happens.
Is Dayuan Island an Australian territory? No, Zheng Cai's memory. It seems that there is nothing to do with Australians, but this can't blame him for being blinded by the news, this kind of thing is Zheng Zhilong, not to mention him if he doesn't remember it under the reminder of his younger brother Zheng Hongkui.
"Shaw. Commissar, eh, general. I don't understand what you said," Zheng Cai was a little awkward about the internal military position of the Australians, and he didn't know what to call it for a while, so he stammered a little.
"General Zheng, to put it simply, this is a lease from Australia to the Netherlands, and if you bring troops and ships into the territorial waters of my territory without Australia's permission, it is an invasion, and in the words you are familiar with, it is called Koubian, and we have the right to destroy your old land."
Xiao Ruike explained like this, Zheng Cai also understood, the feeling is that this is still the territory of the Australians, and it has nothing to do with the Dutch, I said, why did I fight for so long, I didn't see a Dutch reinforcement, it turned out to be an old Australian steward.
The head is a little slow, Zheng Cai really feels that he has been pitted, although he has not dealt directly with Australia, but they still hear a lot of legends, Australians are devils, beasts, the master who eats people and does not spit out bones, if you get into trouble, you can ask for more blessings.
"For your invasion, we hope that you will unconditionally lay down your arms and accept surrender, otherwise you will be awaited with shells." Xiao Ruike didn't forget when he said this, and looked at the cannons lined up in Australia not far away, although he couldn't see it, but this action was a deliberate reminder to the other party, Zheng Cai is not stupid, how can he not know.
Just surrender like this, isn't it just mermaid meat! Zheng Cai has never done such a thing since his debut.
After talking for so long, Zheng Cai seemed to suddenly realize a serious problem, Australians have always emphasized that this is their own private behavior, it is impossible for them not to ask Zheng Zhilong, and suddenly a bad feeling hit from the depths of the brain, like a heat wave rushing straight to the temples.
He was betrayed, it must be like this, Zheng Zhilong must have sold himself in order to avoid being hit by the Australians, this is not the first time this kind of thing, is there a precedent for Zheng Zhilong, when he was a pirate in the past, he sold his sworn brothers in order to recruit peace.
Zheng Cai's heart is galloping with 10,000 grass and mud horses, Zheng Zhilong is too Nima is not kind, he is fighting bloodily in front, he is still a human being!
Don't care how uncomfortable you feel, but now you are thinking about how to survive, since Zheng Zhilong betrayed himself, then he doesn't need to worry about anything at all, Zheng Cai didn't think about whether this was a ploy by Australians to deceive him, but he absolutely believed that Zheng Zhilong could betray himself for his own interests.
Your old Zheng family can cooperate with Australians, don't I believe it? Zheng Cai is cautious, and he still has some capital.
"General Xiao, don't hide it from you, I was indeed deceived this time, if I knew that Dayuan Island was Australian territory, I wouldn't dare to give me a hundred guts, I wouldn't tell you, this was all done by Zheng Zhilong, he instructed me to do this, I can find you witnesses, and the villagers who are responsible for participating in the operation can testify."
Zheng Cai's mind was indeed turning fast, and he immediately thought of a general's strategy, and also found a witness, which made Xiao Ruike secretly admire him in his heart, worthy of being the person who made Zheng Zhilong jealous, it seems that there is nothing wrong with choosing him to be the spokesperson of North Vietnam, and I don't know how the people in China know this guy's heart.
"Well, although you have witnesses, we still have to judge you, and make sure that this matter has nothing to do with you, and we will give you justice, and now is the time to prove that you have nothing to do with the attacker, and inform your men to disarm and surrender."
Hearing Xiao Ruike's words, Zheng Cai's heart was clouded, and he still had to be judged. (To be continued......)
