"Surrender! The red-haired ghost surrenders..." The four consecutive shellings finally made the Dutch unable to hold on and raise the white flag at night. When the four attached cities were lost, Relanzhe was hopeless and surrendered as expected by the Ming army. However, what surprised the Ming army was that after the white flag was raised, only a small group of people came out of the castle slowly towards the Ming army's position.

"Why are you?" He Tingbin looked at Guo Huaiyi in armor and was puzzled, "Is it because Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch who had a falling out?"

Guo Huai patted He Tingbin on the shoulder, "It's not that, I'll tell you later! Is it because the red-haired ghost asked you to accompany the negotiation?" Guo Huaiyi knew that He Tingbin was in Cao's camp like him, and his hatred for the red-haired ghost has been around for more than a day or two.

He Tingbin nodded, "Yes! I came with me as a communication. I have been trapped in the city for more than a month. Tell me what's going on?" He Tingbin was very puzzled when he saw Guo Huaiyi at the Ming army's position. He Tingbin learned the whole story after listening to Guo Huaiyi's statement. "So that's it, it's not good! This red-haired ghost came to negotiate with the plan to delay the army, so he must not be fooled..." When He Tingbin was about to hear the conversation between the Governor Ferburg and his subordinates, he couldn't help but worry about Emperor Hongguang and the Ming army.

When Guo Huai heard what He Tingbin said, he quickly asked the truth, "Don't worry! The emperor has no intention of negotiating with the red-haired ghost. If the red-haired ghost does not surrender, then they will not want to leave Taiwan alive." After hearing He Tingbin's words, Guo Huai was not in a hurry at all. He knew that Emperor Hongguang would not accept the red-haired ghost's surrender conditionally. He Tingbin wanted to say something and was called away by the Dutch.

When I saw the white flag erected in the city of Jelanzha, I thought the Dutch would surrender next! But I knew that the Dutch actually sent a negotiating team, which made me a little angry with the Dutch's cunning. They were still scheming at this point. It seemed that they didn't know how to write the word "death"!

It turned out that the Dutch did not want to leave Taiwan. Governor Ferburg wrote clearly in his letter to me that he was willing to pay tribute to me every year in exchange for continuing to stay in Taiwan. Of course, the tributes were very attractive, including countless sulfur, deer skin, gold and silver, etc. Unfortunately, what I wanted was Taiwan's land and sovereignty. He gave these things to the wrong person. I couldn't sell my own land at a low price!

I looked at the translator He Tingbin, "You tell them that Taiwan has been China's territory since ancient times. Chinese people lived here as early as the Qin and Han dynasties. It is impossible for any foreigner to occupy Taiwan. However, I am not a mean person. After the Netherlands surrenders, they can still engage in trade with our country. Of course, it must be something that can only be considered after solving this matter. I will not accept this negotiation condition." I said and tore the letter from Ferburg to pieces, "The Netherlands must surrender unconditionally, otherwise I am willing to bury the bodies of the Dutch."

After hearing He Tingbin's translation, the Dutch negotiator's face changed drastically. He couldn't make the decision on the result of the negotiation, "Let's do this! I will convey the emperor's meaning on my behalf, so I'll say goodbye!"

When He Tingbin saw the Dutch going away, he squeezed his eyes and turned to Emperor Hongguang and fell a letter from his sleeve. I saw He Tingbin's strangeness and the letter that had landed. He ordered people to pick it up and open it. He Tingbin told the Ming army that the Dutch would arrive soon. After reading the letter, I smiled slightly, "It seems that He Tingbin has been prepared for a long time! In this way, the Dutch has no chance of winning anymore. I believe Zhu Youlang will give them an unforgettable memory."

Fairbor did not expect that the negotiating team brought nothing back. What awaited him was the continuous bombardment of artillery. Fairbor knew that all his hopes were above reinforcements. With this, he decided to stick to the end. Although the four attached cities in the city of Gelanzha had been lost, the castle should be able to last for ten days and half a month, and the reinforcements should have arrived at that time!

The Dutch reinforcements did arrive on the tenth day after the negotiator left, but the reinforcements composed of twenty-seven warships were beaten by Zhu Youlang on the outside of the sea. Zhu Youlang used the initial maritime combat platform to deal a fatal blow to the Dutch fleet. A total of nineteen Dutch warships were destroyed, three caught fire and surrendered, two captured, and the rest fled to Fujian in a panic, while Zhu Youlang only damaged several ships and injured more than 200 soldiers. It can be said that it was a great victory.

After the news of Zhu Youlang's victory reached the positions of the two armies, the Dutch finally knew that defending would only lead to the destruction of the city. On the 58th day of the besieged by Jelanzha City, the Dutch Governor to Taiwan, Fairborg, finally opened the gate to surrender. In fact, the Dutch suffered a great loss in Jelanzha City. The defending troops, which originally had 2,200 people, had only less than 700 people left when they surrendered.

Fairbor and I signed the surrender letter respectively. I ordered people to prepare a captured intact warship for Fairbor to give it to Fairbor and lead his subordinates to leave Taiwan. When I negotiated with Fairbor, I had ordered Harry to lead his men to spread the information about what benefits I could get from surrendering Dutch mercenaries. Naturally, I hoped to recruit more foreigners to serve me. These mercenaries had good combat capabilities. Apart from being greedy for money and surrendered in the hope of winning, I had not found any other shortcomings. If they could use it, they would be able to exert their due combat effectiveness, of course they had to be strictly controlled.

After this episode, less than 200 subordinates who followed Ferborg to leave Taiwan. Those 200 were regular Dutch troops. They were completely different from mercenaries and would not abandon their motherland because of their interests.

After this battle, I not only won the treasure island, Taiwan, but also had nearly 800 more mercenaries. I handed over all of these 800 people to Guo Huaiyi. Guo Huaiyi was proficient in Dutch and had great leadership skills, so it was most appropriate for him to command these barbarians.

Next is the aftermath work. It will take several days for the Dutch soldiers from all over the island to withdraw. Taking advantage of this gap, I will prepare to study how to deal with Taiwan affairs and the combat plan against Zheng Zhilong immediately.

The fact that I would rather lead soldiers to eat grass roots, tree bark, wild fruits and rapeseed than collect a grain of food from the people on the island spread inadvertently. This made the people on the island feel that I am their support. In a few days, some of them sent their own food rations, and some even carried black beans and other coarse grains to me. This made me feel that they were so simple and cute. In fact, the army's stomach that had only been hungry for more than ten days was nothing.

In return, I not only purchased the food they sent at the price, but also ordered the island to be exempted from taxes for two years. In this way, the rule of the Ming Dynasty immediately set a ruler on the island. The reference is the red-haired ghost who ruled Taiwan for more than 20 years. The people have seen through the good days, and they are as happy as the New Year.

I knew I could not stay in Taiwan for too long, and how to arrange Taiwan's affairs made me hesitate. Finally, I decided to set Taiwan as a province, with Chen Yonghua as the first governor, He Tingbin and several staff officers from the Military Affairs Office left to assist Chen Yonghua. In this way, Taiwan's government structure finally became a good example, and Chen Yonghua also became the youngest rank-in official in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

"Emperor, although there are still few areas that can be opened on the island after many years of development and development, I think Taiwan should implement a military farming system at this time, which not only can reclaim wasteland and increase grain, but also can establish effective management. I have taken over more than 8,000 people from Lord He and Guo, but these are far from enough. I beg the emperor to immigrate from the mainland to increase labor force." Although Chen Yonghua was appointed as the head of a province in Taiwan, he did not look proud.

I nodded after hearing Chen Yonghua's words, "Fu Fu's words are reasonable. I have recorded them. In addition, after I leave, I will leave 30 warships and 6,000 naval troops. The red-haired ghost may go and rebel again. I hope Fu Fu will take strict precautions. This city of Relanzha should be the capital of Taiwan! After Relanzha is too ugly, I will call it Taiwan City. In addition, another city can be built on a small pier. The two cities rely on each other and are not afraid of foreign enemies."

As far as I know, Chen Yonghua has made great achievements in Taiwan in history. The reason why Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Jing were able to manage Taiwan so well was half a credit for Chen Yonghua, so I feel relieved to hand over Taiwan to manage Chen Yonghua. In addition, He Tingbin is another financial manager, and their partners will definitely make Taiwan's business very popular.

On the sixth day of the sixth day of the sixth month, the Ming army stationed in Taiwan drove to Penghu, and then approached Fujian through Penghu. The weather today was very good, with cloudlessness, and the blue sky and empty sea water made people feel infinitely open. Compared with this good weather, I was extremely worried about the movements of Zheng Zhilong in Fujian. More than two months have passed. I don’t know how Wang Deren won or lost, and I don’t know if Zheng Zhilong reached the estuary of the Yangtze River. The news brought back by the grain ship last time was that although the two sides had a war, they were fighting in small matters. It was difficult to ensure that the war situation did not change after such a long time.

On this day, the army came to the Penghu waters and saw it with a telescope. Everything was as usual. The army immediately approached Quanzhou, a port of Fujian. On the way, Zhu Youlang and I studied the feasibility of the naval combat drift platform he had imagined. I think Zhu Youlang's idea is similar to that of later aircraft carriers, but the difficulties I thought of were the same as Zhu Youlang. How to defend was the top priority...!

"Boom..." When I was discussing with Zhu Youlang, a cannon fire scared us. When I went out of the cabin, I looked at it with a telescope and found that there were warships fighting in the distance. Seeing that the flags of both sides were Zheng Zhilong and the Spaniards. When I attacked Taiwan City, I didn't wait for the help of the Spaniards and thought they had broken their trust. It turned out that the Spaniards were resisting Zheng Zhilong's naval army here!

"Parallel and encircle! Be sure to annihilate the enemy." I immediately ordered the entire army to prepare for combat. Zheng Zhilong's warships had only seven, which were far from my opponent, but if one of them ran away, it would be very unfavorable for me to expose the news of my arrival. Everyone must do their best to annihilate them.
