Although he came to a conclusion that seemed to be without problems, Su Minggang still had a little difficulty in believing it. For him, it really felt like the sun came out from the west.

Su Youquan, who was next to him, knew some of the Dutch dialects and just understood their conversation. He didn't have much impression of the Ming Dynasty before, so he was very happy and immediately shouted in his hometown dialect: "The imperial government army will not ignore us, they are different from before, really..."

When the others heard this, they couldn't help but have a trace of expectation and turned to look over. They were a little confused about why Su Youquan said so.

Seeing them like this, Anthony knew it and immediately sneered: "Don't be too happy too early. Unless the Ming army agreed to my request, it will be difficult for you to survive."

After saying that, he ignored these wise people and looked up at the sea.

Because he discovered that a Ming warship had left the fleet and came to the Batavia port, and it was obvious that it was coming to negotiate.

With joy in his heart, he felt that he had pinched the lifeline of the Ming Navy. He immediately became calm and waited for the Ming warship to come.

Everyone saw the movement of the Ming warship, and stopped moving, watching the Ming warship get closer and closer.

The Dutch warships fleeing into the port also made way for a sea route and were farther away.

This Ming warship was really bold. He ignored the Dutch warships in the port and approached the Batavia wall directly. He stopped after a few positions, and then shouted loudly to the top of the city: "Why does the two armies affect ordinary people when fighting? Is this how you Western barbarians fight? If you can't beat them, you bully ordinary people and threaten them with ordinary people?"

Anthony couldn't understand, but Su Minggang heard it. He knew he was from Fujian, his hometown, and he was immediately excited.

Anthony quickly asked him to translate, and he translated Ming Jun's words.

When Anthony heard this, he blushed a little. After all, he was a soldier. It would be a detriment to the soldier if he drove out such a thing. It was wrong. He claimed to be a knight.

However, I can't defeat the Ming army at the moment, so there is no way to do it. I can only use this trick.

So he asked Su Minggang to reply: "The law of war is to do everything possible. Don't say much nonsense. If you want these Ming people to survive, you should withdraw your troops immediately!"

Anthony was a little proud. Since the Ming Dynasty navy minded the lives of these people, they could only be obedient.

After saying that, he looked left and right. The number of people in the Ming Dynasty was large enough, which must have made the Ming Dynasty naval generals feared.

But who knew that when the Ming general on the warship heard this, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he pushed out five salvaged Dutch people and took them to the bow of the ship. With an order, he slashed with a knife in front of Anthony, pushed the body off the ship and fell into the sea.

Then he said loudly: "This is just a warning. Those who dare to hurt me, the Ming people, will definitely use your Dutch lives to pay for it."

Seeing this scene, Anthony was stunned.

At this time, he finally realized that during this battle, at least more than a thousand Dutch people fell to the sea and were captured by the Ming army. This means that there are also hostages in the hands of the Ming army, and they are not ordinary people. If he dares to kill these Ming people, it will be clear from the decisive actions of the Ming army just now that they will really kill the Dutch to take revenge.

If the Ming army killed the Dutch because of his killing of the Ming people, he believed that his subordinates and the families of the killed Dutch would definitely take the account on him.

what to do?

If you dare to treat it toughly and fight back, the Dutch people captured by the Ming army might be dead!

He was silly, and the Ming general shouted to this side again: "Listen, if you dare to hurt my people in the Ming Dynasty, the time when the city is broken will be the day of the massacre! Everyone can't live!"

When Anthony heard this, he was speechless again. He was threatened by the Ming army.

If he loses the sea control power, Batavia will sooner or later be captured by the Ming army. As an admiral, he has a deep understanding of this. Do you really have to fight the Ming army to death and sacrifice the lives of all the Dutch people?

Moreover, the so-called "death-breaking" is not about dying with the Ming army, but just the people of the Ming country. If such a thing is spread, his reputation will definitely be ruined in this life.

If you don't want to do this, you can only listen to the Ming army and not kill these Ming people. You must even protect them from being hurt, giving the Ming army an excuse to attack the Dutch.

Su Minggang and others have never been as excited as they are today. They really didn't expect that the ferocious and bloody word "slaughtering the city" would be so pleasant today!

At this moment, young people like Su Youquan were excited, but old people like Su Minggang shed tears.

The imperial army negotiated with the Dutch for their sake, and even threatened the Dutch to value their fugitives, which was beyond their expectations and made them grateful. It was not until this time that they realized that the strength of their country was so happy!

Anthony finally did not dare to bet on his own, his family, and all the Dutch lives, and said, "We came to the East and had no intention of being enemies with the Ming Empire. Can we negotiate, put down our weapons, don't fight, and just do business?"

After hearing this, the Ming general couldn't help but sneer: "It sounds better than singing. When you come, you don't want to steal my Ming property, but you can't beat me. You really think that I, Ming Dynasty, are easy to fool? Do you really think that business is so easy to do?"

"..." Anthony heard this and was speechless again.

Who would have known that among the Eastern people there was a powerful country like the Ming Empire? If I had known it, I would definitely not have spoken with guns and cannons from the beginning.

In the end, Anthony had no choice but to ask directly: "What do you want to do?"

The Ming army was powerful and had thousands of Dutch prisoners in his hands, which left him helpless.

"Get out! Go back to your own place!" The Ming general shouted loudly, "Don't hurt a Ming people, you will save your life, and you will not take anything away. There are only people and boats, get out!"

Before, Su Minggang had negotiated with the Dutch people, handed over their property and let them go back to the Ming Dynasty. However, he did not even see the Dutch Governor, so he obviously refused to agree.

Now that he heard Ming Jun’s request, he couldn’t help but feel very pleased and felt very happy!

Therefore, when Su Minggang reposted and translated this, he shouted very loudly, wishing that the whole world would know about this.

When the Dutch people heard this, they all fell silent.

Is there anger? Of course there is!

But they all came from the sea and now they knew that the Ming Dynasty's navy was not something they could shake. In this way, without the power to control the sea, it would be like having no foothold in the East.

If they are not as strong as others, what's the use of anger? After colonizing all the way, they saw that they were useless when they saw too many anger.

Besides, they came to the East to seek wealth, not to die. Do they still have to get angry and lead the Ming army to raise the butcher knife?

They were silent when they suddenly saw a flag waving on the largest Ming warship.

After a while, the Ming army general here shouted again: "You are limited to leaving within six days and you must not harm the people, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

Then, at his command, all the Dutch people on the boat were pushed off the boat. However, because they could swim, they flew in the water and were fine for a while.

"Also, you will report to the emperor for threats to the people of the Ming Dynasty. How to deal with it and let the sages be followed!"

This is very clear, that is, the Ming Dynasty will retain the power to hold people accountable afterwards.

After the Ming general finished speaking, he turned around and left, regardless of what the Dutch would choose in the end.

Then, the Ming Navy's warship pushed all the Dutch prisoners into the sea. Then, they drove away and disappeared on the sea in the distance.

During this process, except for the Dutch people who went to catch the captives, everyone else watched the Ming Dynasty navy go away in silence. Of course, although the Ming Dynasty was silent, they were all excited, almost shouting loudly to express their excitement.

After a long time, the men beside Anthony asked him, "Governor, what should we do?"

After hearing this, Anthony sighed: "It's possible to do this, this place can no longer be stayed."

It is too far from our country, and there will be no reinforcements in the future. Even if there are reinforcements, it may not be possible to win.

However, these Dutch people have never suffered such a grievance. There are definitely unwillingness to accept it. Therefore, the subordinate turned his eyes and said, "Or what if we kill all the Ming people before leaving?"

When Anthony heard this, he immediately shouted angrily: "Put your dog's brain, if the Ming army dares to return the prisoners to us, you will have the confidence to catch them again. Do you want to suffer revenge from the Ming army? Or can you escape back under the pursuit of the Ming army?"

After scolding him, he said to Su Minggang with a smile on his face: "I'm so sorry. I was confused for a while before, and I've been wronged."

As he spoke, he immediately ordered that not only the Ming people were released, but also the property was returned to them. The property in Batavia was also handed over to the Ming people. In addition, in order to prevent the Ming people from accidents, he also handed over a batch of guns and weapons to the Ming people and expelled the natives from Batavia.

The situation suddenly reversed, and anyone knew that it was not because the Dutch had kind hearts, but because the Ming Dynasty was powerful!

"Long live the Ming Dynasty!"

"Long live the emperor!"

“…”

The Ming people, regardless of gender, age, cried excitedly. At this moment, they were all proud to be descendants of China.

The Dutch moved quickly, and within the deadline, they hurriedly boarded the ship and left this sad place.
