605 Even if you are far away, you will be punished

After Zheng Chenggong finished speaking, he saw the Portuguese in a daze, so he ignored it.

For him, it is naturally impossible to have the far-sighted vision of Zhang Mingwei. At his position, he would never have thought of such a global layout. This Portuguese loves to go or not, and it is just casual.

"Uncle Fourth, the soldiers of this sect have come ashore!" Zheng Chenggong turned to Zheng Hongkui and said.

At this time, the naval battle had ended, and the only goal of this war was the Dutch castle.

So, while receiving the surrender of the Dutch sailors, the Ming army drove ashore and drove towards the city of Relanzha in a mighty manner.

At the same time, some soldiers started to bury pots and cook rice, and smoke rose slowly. Those who didn't know had no idea that there was a war here.

The army did not stop at night, so they naturally began to investigate the surrounding areas. The natives watching either left quickly or took the initiative to face the Ming army soldiers.

"Uncle Liu, what should we do?" Wang Gui, who was hiding behind, couldn't hold on for a moment, so he asked Uncle Liu beside him for his advice.

They fled here from Fujian. To a certain extent, they were fleeing people and hidden households. If the government discovered it, they would have to be arrested.

After coming back to his senses from the excitement of seeing the Dutch's fate, Wang Gui realized this. For a moment, he hesitated a little.

Uncle Liu heard this, but hesitated and replied directly: "These Western barbarians do not treat us as human beings at all. Even if the government is guilty of the government, we are at least still human beings, right?"

When Wang Gui heard this, he nodded immediately and said, "That's right, that's the reason."

So they stopped hiding and faced the Ming army at night.

About an hour later, Zheng Chenggong finished lunch and went to see the fugitives here, with about a thousand people.

Surrounded by many soldiers, Zheng Chengyi clearly discovered that the expressions of these escaped people were excited and panic.

Thinking of Duke Xingguo's explanation in his letter, Zheng Chenggong said loudly to them: "Don't worry, the court can understand why you escaped here before. The emperor has issued an order to pardon all the people of Ming Dynasty who had escaped overseas."

His soldiers had already reported to him that these people were basically fleeing people, so he had this statement.

Wang Gui and others happened to be standing not far from Zheng Chenggong. They could hear him, and listen to the Ming Dynasty's official words with a Fujian accent. While they felt friendly, they were immediately excited.

Now, what they are most worried about is that the court will punish them. But this has been made clear that the court will not punish them, and the emperor pardons them.

However, before they had time to be excited, they heard Zheng Chenggong say to them again: "The Emperor said that no matter where the people of the Ming Dynasty are, they are all people of the Ming Dynasty. In the past, the court had a lot of work and could not take care of it. But now there is no problem. Whoever dares to bully you, the Emperor will make the decision for you!"

When he said this, he pointed his hand at the Dutch castle and said loudly: "These Dutch people do evil at the door of the Ming Dynasty and dared to offend Daming Tianwei. This time, I will be ordered to wipe out them by the emperor. No matter how far away they dare to offend Daming, they will definitely pay the price."

In the subsequent tone, he became firm and powerful, and had extremely confident: "Those who dare to violate the power of the Great Tomorrow will be punished even if they are far away!"

Duke Xingguo once told him that at the end of the sea, there were flags of the Ming Navy.

This time, he mentioned this sentence in the letter, "If you are far away, you will be punished", which made him feel excited.

In his heart, he also dreams of surrendering all nations.

With a "puzzle", just as Zheng Chenggong finished speaking, he saw someone kneeling down and cried.

This situation was a bit beyond Zheng Chenggong's expectations. He was a little surprised and then looked over when he heard the sound.

But I saw that it was an old man, and I was crying. There were two young men next to me, looking at him at a loss.

"Why is this, my father-in-law?" Zheng Chenggong immediately frowned.

This old man was naturally the Uncle Liu. When he heard Zheng Chenggong's question, he didn't wipe his tears. He just looked up at Zheng Chenggong and replied with a sob: "Caomin Liu Quande, please send troops to Luzon Island to avenge the grass people!"

As soon as he heard this, Zheng Chenggong immediately knew who the old man in front of him was probably.

The Spaniards on Luzon have massacred the Ming people there several times. Most of the Ming people have passed by Fujian and Guangdong, so the news has naturally been sent back. As a Fujian native, Zheng Chenggong has certainly heard of it.

"Please rest assured, this old man. I will destroy these Dutch people first. When I look back, I will ask the court to send troops to Luzon to avenge you." Zheng Chenggong's tone was very firm and he immediately answered him.

Liu Quande originally wanted to cry about how the Ming people on Luzon were killed by the Spanish like killing chickens and dogs, but unexpectedly, he didn't even say anything, and Zheng Chenggong agreed directly.

So, in an accident, Liu Quande was so excited that he couldn't speak. He immediately kowtowed repeatedly, "可可" sounded loudly.

When Liu Xiaosan and Wang Gui saw it, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

Zheng Chenggong didn't expect them to be so excited, and immediately felt their excitement. He immediately took a few steps forward and stretched out his hands to help Liu Quande up.

Even so, in addition to mud, there were also blood on Liu Quande's forehead. Obviously, he was really kowtowing hard.

The far away fleeing people could not hear their conversation clearly, but after a long time, the people in front would naturally pass the words over. Not long after, all the more than a thousand fleeing people knew about the situation.

Needless to say, they were all very excited. A small number of them, like Liu Quande, fled here from Luzon Island.

But when they heard that the court would send troops to Luzon Island, they all knelt down excitedly and kowtowed to Zheng Chenggong.

Seeing this, Zheng Chenggong shouted to them: "You can write a book of all people and write down the situation on Luzon. I will report to the emperor for you, so it is better."

He was not a pure military general, but he was a scholar before. Therefore, if others don’t teach him this, he can think of it himself.

Although the court's strategy was to turn overseas, if there were these people's letters to the people, the court would be even more famous for sending troops! He felt that the emperor and Duke Xingguo would definitely be happy to see this thing.

Zheng Hongkui listened from beginning to end and didn't say anything. After hearing this, his eyes rolled, walked to Liu Quande, and whispered to him: "It's better to use blood books!"

When Liu Quande heard this, he nodded quickly. He could avenge his relatives. Not to mention writing a blood letter, it would be worth it even if he exchanged his life for it.

………………………………………

It was getting dark, and the escaped people dispersed and brought the news back to their respective villages. When they returned one by one, they were all happy.

On land, the Ming army had surrounded the Dutch castles, and on the sea, even if the Dutch warships were gone, there were still naval warships patrolling.

Under the net of heaven and earth, the Dutch in the castle is hard to fly.

This situation made the Dutch in Gerlandcha City worried and his morale was extremely depressed.

Karon also knew that his doomsday should come. However, even if the ant survives and does not struggle to die, how could he be willing to do so!

So he spread to his men that reinforcements would be sent to Batavia soon, and that as long as they could persevere, they would be saved.

However, no one is a fool. They probably know what happened in Batavia.

Moreover, even if twenty-five warships are sent, they cannot be the opponent of the Ming Dynasty Navy. Unless they are sent more warships, fifty, or one hundred warships, etc.

However, there are no one hundred warships in the entire Dutch East India Company, and it is basically unlikely that Batavia will rescue them.

But even though they thought so, in order to survive, they could only pretend to believe the words of their Governor. After all, they didn't know how Mingguo would deal with them if they were defeated and surrendered?

This night, most Dutch people could not sleep. Even those who were not on duty on duty would not dare to sleep. There were so many Ming troops outside the castle, what if they attacked in the darkness?

So, just like that, after dawn the next day, there were a lot of panda eyes and they were all depressed.

What was completely different from them was that the Ming soldiers were full of energy and high morale.

After breakfast at dawn, many Ming soldiers took action.

There were also many natives who came to watch or help. In short, there was never a bustle in the city of Relanzha.

The Dutch soldiers on the top of the city saw the Ming army pushing a cannon from the ship, deploying it around the castle, and it was still far away and did not reach the effective range of the Red Barbarian cannons in the city.

As soon as they saw this, they remembered it. From yesterday's naval battle, it can be seen that the range of Ming army artillery was farther than theirs, and even the shooting accuracy was much more accurate.

When they thought of this, they were even more disgusted. They also thought that they would persist for many days, but the passive beating would not change, so they would be difficult for a few days.

They were right. In the letter Zhang Mingwei gave to Zheng Chenggong, he explained the advantages of using artillery, not to be afraid of the consumption of ammunition, just to bomb the city. The taste that Jianlu had tasted at the beginning also allowed these Western barbarians to taste.

However, one thing that Zhang Mingwei could not have thought was that Zheng Chenggong did not do exactly what he said, and had adapted to local conditions and came up with a better way to deal with the Dutch.

After using the guns to bombard the range advantage for about a quarter of an hour, Zheng Chenggong ordered the stop of the shelling and began to use the methods he thought of.
