Chapter 862(1/2)

The snipers of the Ming Marine Corps basically lay on the roofs and hillsides about 250 steps away from the Dutch.

They aimed their rifles at the Dutch artillery, kept pulling the triggers, and bullets shot out instantly.

"Bang bang..."

Just as the Dutch artilleryman was about to light the cannon, his head was blown off by a sniper, and his body fell to the ground softly...

The longest range of a rifle is about three hundred steps. Generally, soldiers must shoot within two hundred steps to effectively kill their opponents.

But the snipers are different. They are all the elites of the Ming army. Although they use the same rifles as ordinary soldiers, their skills are good and their guns are equipped with scopes.

Nearly a hundred snipers knocked out the Dutch artillery and at the same time began to attack their commander. Soon the Dutch artillery and commander were basically killed.

Almost at the same time, Zhu Chenggong, Zhang Shuting and others directed the Marines and Navy soldiers to fire a salvo at the Dutch line array.

In half a stick of incense, they wiped out all the Dutch soldiers and mercenaries outside the Governor's Palace, without even giving them a chance to surrender...

"Commander, look, the foreign devils are surrendering under the white flag."

Seeing a white flag flying in the Governor's Mansion, the Ming army immediately reminded Zhu Chenggong.

Where is the white flag? It is just a white sheet.

The Dutch were the most powerful maritime country in the world at that time and were known as sea coachmen. They did not prepare white flags at all and could only use white sheets instead.

Before Zhu Chenggong could speak, Zhang Shuting said to a general with good marksmanship beside him:

"Do you have the confidence to kill him?"

Mr. Xi smiled and immediately raised his rifle:

"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, it's a piece of cake."

"boom……"

"Click"

Before the commander finished speaking, he raised his gun and pulled the trigger, breaking the wooden pole supporting the white flag with one shot.

"God! Don't shoot. We have to negotiate with China and surrender conditionally..."

The Dutch holding the white flag were almost scared to death and shouted loudly outside the Governor's Palace.

The generals outside all looked at each other and smiled, with great disdain for the Dutch in their eyes.

During maritime operations, Zhu Chenggong was the commander-in-chief.

During the landing operation, Zhang Shuting, Yan Yingyuan, and Li Shouting all had the right to speak, with Yan Yingyuan being the dominant one.

Yan Yingyuan smiled at Zhu Chenggong and said:

"Captain, they said they can surrender with conditions, what do you think?"

Zhu Chenggong snorted coldly:

"Why did you leave earlier? The governor will not accept their surrender."

Zhang Shuting chuckled:

"Captain, our country is a country of etiquette, so let's first listen to what conditions the foreign devils give us!"

Li Shouting said:

"Yes, let them send representatives to negotiate and see what conditions they have. Anyway, their life and death only depend on our thoughts!"

When Zhu Chenggong heard this, he smiled and nodded:

"Okay, come here, let the foreign devils come out to negotiate!"

"yes"

These are all the youngest generals in the Ming Dynasty. Among them, Zhang Shuting is also the youngest marquis in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Chenggong and Li Shouting are both around seventeen years old.

Only Yan Yingyuan is older, in his twenties this year. They get along very well with each other and never compete for credit.

The messenger immediately shouted to the Governor's Mansion:

"Attention foreign devils inside, send representatives out to negotiate quickly. If they don't come out for twenty breaths, the Ming army will immediately bombard the Governor's Mansion!"

The red-haired ghosts in the Governor's Mansion heard that they could negotiate, and they suddenly felt that they were out of danger and cheered.

Anthony said to a captain:

"Captain, please work hard and negotiate with the Ming army. You must pay attention to the negotiation time. The longer it is delayed, the better."

"I……"

The captain really didn't want to negotiate with the Ming army. He didn't know if he could come back alive if he negotiated with the Ming army.

I greeted all the women of the Anthony family in my heart:

"Damn Anthony, I have to fight the war, and you should go to the negotiations in person. If anything happens to me, all the women in your family will be rounded up!

He didn't dare to disobey the order, so he could only agree to Anthony, but the negotiation also required him to know the bottom line of the Governor's Mansion!

"Mr. Governor, what is our bottom line? If the Ming army's demands are too high, how should we respond?"

Anthony's purpose in negotiating with the Ming army was to delay time and wait for reinforcements from Batavia to arrive. He had no intention of truly surrendering.

If it weren't for Anthony's integrity, there would be no integrity to speak of in the West.

He was mainly worried that after the surrender, the millions of taels of silver he had worked hard for for decades and finally exploited would eventually become the property of the Ming Dynasty.

So he perfunctoryly said to the captain:

"Captain, as long as their demands are not too demanding, you can agree to them, but you must also strive for the best interests of the Netherlands and never surrender unconditionally.

Don't worry, the Ming army will not make things difficult for you. Who wants to fight? They have just emerged from the suffering of the war.

Besides, the Netherlands are not easy to mess with. If they go too far, they should also think about my sea coachman's invincible fleet."

Outside the Governor's Mansion, the Ming army had already brought in several field artillery pieces. If they didn't want to see how the turtle in the urn negotiated, they would have started bombing the Governor's Mansion.

After a while, the door of the Governor's Mansion opened, and two people tremblingly walked out of the Governor's Mansion.

They were none other than the red-haired captain Sparks, and the other was a Dutch missionary bishop in Taiwan.

As they walked, both of them felt their legs were a little weak, and they didn't know if they would be able to see the sun tomorrow.

Looking at the formation of the Ming army, the few people in the middle were very majestic. They walked up to Zhu Chenggong, Yan Yingyuan and others, bowed slightly and saluted:

"Excuse me, who is the Ming general? We are negotiating on behalf of the Netherlands."

As sea coachmen, these Dutchmen had never been surrendered.

They originally came to surrender, but they were deceived by Anthony for a while, and they turned the surrender into a negotiation.

Zhu Chenggong's face was already very serious. After hearing what these two foreign devils said, his face became even more gloomy:

"Let's be clear, are you here to negotiate or are you here to surrender?"

Feeling that General Ming's tone was unkind, the two foreign devils hurriedly explained:

"Surrender and surrender, we are here not only to surrender, but also to negotiate. The Governor said that we cannot surrender unconditionally!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As soon as Zhang Shuting raised his hand, the muzzle of the gun was pressed against Spark's head:

"Foreign devils, since they have come to surrender, how can they be qualified to negotiate? Kneel down and speak."

A gun was suddenly pressed against his head. Sparky trembled all over. The bishop was also startled, but he still said:

"The Netherlands never kneels down to others. The only one in our hearts who can kneel down is God."

"Really? Then let your God save him!"

"boom……"

Zhang Shuting was immediately furious. With a move of his finger, a bullet pierced Spark's head. Spark's body quickly fell backwards.

The red-haired bishop was almost frightened to death. He hurriedly knelt in front of Zhu Chenggong and others, and a pool of unknown liquid instantly appeared under him.

"Grandpa, spare your life, don't shoot, please don't shoot!"

Zhu Chenggong looked at the bearish appearance of the red-haired bishop and said coldly:

"You are not qualified to negotiate. Ask your governor to lay down his arms and surrender. Otherwise, there is only a dead end. Get out!"

"boom……"

Before Zhu Chenggong finished speaking, Li Shouting raised his gun and shot off one of the bishop's ears.

The two Dutch bishops almost fainted when their vision went dark. When they heard that they were told to get out, they hurriedly got up and fled back to the Governor's Palace in embarrassment...

Anthony originally wanted them to delay, but he was unhappy when he saw the bishop coming back so soon.

"What's going on with you guys? How was the conversation?"

The bishop let go of his hands covering his ears, revealing his bloody ears:

"Sir, the Ming army general said that we are not qualified to negotiate, and even beat Spark to death. They want you to negotiate in person."

"hiss……"

When he heard that Spark was beaten to death and the bishop's ear was also injured, Anthony was shocked and said hurriedly:
To be continued...
