Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The white flag is raised at Armandian Castle!

    At this point, Fulixinlian Fort and Yalmodian Fort have all fallen into Ding Yunyi's hands.  The inner city was completely exposed to the threat of artillery fire from Fort Fulixinlian.

    Surrender or destruction is now the choice Governor Putmans must make.

    Resistance is no longer possible, but should we just give up on the city of Relanja?  Putmans was reluctant.  This will not only cause the Netherlands to completely lose Taiwan as a treasure land, but it will also become a sinner.

    Those Dutch people who gathered at the gate of the governor's office kept demanding that the governor be called immediately to explain the current bad situation.

    Governor Putmans was very worried.

    Just when he was at a loss, Major Swede came back.

    As if seeing a savior, Putmans grabbed the major: "Major, where are your troops? Where are your cannons? Where are they? Where are they? I need them now!"

    "It's gone, it's all gone." Shi Weide broke away from the Governor: "Mr. Governor, everything is over, we have failed."

    "No!" Putmans roared loudly: "We have not failed, and we will never fail! Major, I order you now to gather all armed personnel and resolutely defend this place."

    Shi Weide felt that the Governor's words were extremely ridiculous.

    Even if you give yourself another thousand soldiers now, under the threat of the muzzle of the turned gun from Fork Xinlian, the thousand soldiers will only end up in the most miserable situation.

    He calmed down: "Mr. Governor, it is impossible to continue to resist. I think you should be aware of the threat of Fulixinlian Fort. Facing the cannons here, there is no resistance at all. Ding Yunyi, the commander of the Ming Dynasty army, asked me to convey this to him  "He gave us an ultimatum: if we don't surrender before the sun rises tomorrow, he will order the artillery to burn this place to the ground."

    Putmans sat down frustrated.

    Threat, this is the most naked threat!

    However, after the anger passed, he knew clearly that Ding Yunyi now had this power.

    Major Calcha?  Why hasn't Major Calcha returned to help the city of Relanja until now?  Where is Zheng Zhilong?  Why is there no news from Zheng Zhilong until now?

    "Governor, Your Excellency the Governor!"

    At this time, his assistant Miles hurried in: "The Ming Dynasty army sent an envoy."

    Putmans trembled, and he calmed down: "Let him in."

    He speculated that it must be the envoy who came to persuade them to surrender again. He had only one purpose, to delay the Ming Dynasty army and buy as much time as possible to wait for the arrival of Major Kalcha and Zheng Zhilong.

    The messenger from the Ming Dynasty who came in shocked everyone in the governor's office.  He has only one arm, and a long, deep scar on his face makes people feel frightened at the sight.

    "Ye Dahai? Pirate Hou Ye Dahai?" Major Shi Weide blurted out.

    There are too many legends and appearances about him.

    "I am Ye Dahai, but now I am no longer a pirate lord, but Ye Dahai, the general of Ming Penghu." Ye Dahai smiled slightly, and only then did Putmans notice that he was carrying a baggage in his hand.

    Ye Dahai put the bundle on the ground: "Mr. Governor, are you waiting for Major Karcha's return? I saw Karcha and he asked me to bring you a gift."

    As he spoke, he put the as if in front of him.

    Putmans didn't know what he was doing there and winked at Miles. Miles quickly took the bundle and opened it. There was a wooden box inside. When he opened the wooden box again, Miles suddenly said:  A heart-rending cry of terror.

    Head, a bloody head!

    Putmans stood up tremblingly, holding back the fear in his heart and looking at the head, his face turning pale for an instant.

    That¡¯s Major Calcha¡¯s head!

    "Kalcha is a loyal officer." There was no sarcasm in Ye Dahai's tone. Instead, he said quite seriously: "After receiving your order, he quickly returned to help Relanja City, and he brought  A dozen subordinates went ahead, hoping to get back as soon as possible. However, he was ambushed by our garrison master. I also persuaded him to surrender, but he refused, so I had no choice but to kill him and bring him with me.  head."

    Putmans slumped into his chair.

    The only one who could support him in the shortest time, Major Calcha, also died.

    He was silent for a while, then asked in a trembling voice: "Where is his army?"

    &nbsp"We are now surrounded by our Ming army and the rioters." Ye Dahai said calmly: "I can still control my army, but the rioters are beyond our control. The situation is already very critical.  , every time you hesitate, those four hundred soldiers will be under the most serious threat. If you have not surrendered within the specified time, then we will destroy this place without hesitation and quickly pull out the cannon.  Go out and annihilate those four hundred soldiers."

    Putmans could not say anything. He believed that these Ming Dynasty people meant what they said.

    "Do you know why my garrison still wants to persuade you to surrender when it can completely destroy you?" Ye Dahai suddenly asked, and then without putting Mansi's answer, Ye Dahai said to himself:

    "Because we want to keep a relatively intact city of Relanjia. This will be the garrison's official residence in the future, and our orders will be sent to all parts of Taiwan from here. With the artillery fire, not a single tile will be left. My garrison does not want to see this. But  If the stipulated time comes and you still decide to fight to the end, then we can only prepare for the worst. "

    Putmans was still hesitant, and Miles walked up to him and whispered: "Mr. Governor, the situation is already very dangerous. These Ming Dynasty people will definitely do this. Now we have lost everything.  There is no hope of resistance. In addition to the four hundred besieged soldiers, there are so many Dutch citizens in the city. You must consider the safety of their lives. You can still explain it after you go back.  The consequences for the lives of these people will be very serious."

    Putmans nodded, yes, Miles was talking about what he was most worried about.  Now that everything is irreversible, is there any other way to solve the current predicament?

    Putmans stood up slowly and said to Ye Dahai in a sad and melancholy tone: "Please go back and tell Ding Yunyi that when the first ray of sun shines here tomorrow, we will come out and surrender, and he will get what he wants."  Want everything.¡±

    Ye Dahai nodded with satisfaction: "I hope you can do what you say, Governor, for the sake of so many people's lives, you have no choice."
