"Surrender? Do you want me to bow to the enemy?" Dayang grabbed Scher's neckline and shouted angrily.

Scher looked solemn and said, "There is no other way. This order can be issued at this time or tomorrow morning. The only difference is whether to destroy the lives of a hundred Dutch people."

After hearing this, Dayang seemed to have no strength all over his body and sat down on the ground. As Scher said, the situation was no longer controlled. Perhaps he could gather everyone to defend it, but there were no reinforcements from Dayuan Port. The entire Dayuan Port could draw all the troops under his command. The rest could only ensure the basic defense operation of the city of Relanzha, and Chunis had no troops to help him.

Woo woo woo woo woo!

The sound of the trumpet sounded again, but this time it came from behind. Da Yang turned around in surprise and saw a banner and totem rising from behind the sugarcane field. A team came out. Although one of them was not large in number, it was very imposing. A tall young man sat on the magnificent fragrance. The sunset shone on his face, and he couldn't see his face clearly. However, the man's voice made Da Yang's breathing become rapid.

"Dayang, surrender. As your old friend, I will give you decent."

Da Yang still remembers the voice, from the target he planned to attack, Tenglong Trading Company Li Mingxun, sitting there dejectedly, his face as if he was dead, murmured: "It's all over."

"Your Excellency, what should we do?" Schell asked.

Da Yang twisted his neck and saw the faces of the people around him clearly under the light of the fire. Some people were afraid, some people were expecting, and some people were happy after the disaster. Da Yang said: "Everyone, surrender, resistance is meaningless. The enemy's leader is a shrewd businessman, not a mountain barbarian, so don't worry about being killed."

Now, everyone's faces were much more relaxed. Sher took the sword from Dayang, rolled it with the military flag, and held it high and walked towards the elephant.

"What a beautiful victory. We won a great victory, and the next thing will be much easier to deal with." Seeing that the Dutch chose to surrender, Li Mingxun couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and said loudly.

As Gao Feng said, since Da Yang led his army to go, things were somewhat beyond Li Mingxun's expectations. The ambush plan formulated at the beginning was stopped due to the excellent performance of the Dutch. However, Gao Feng, Umu and Doya seized the opportunity and successfully defeated the Dutch's mixed troops. The original plan was to wipe out the Dutch all, shock Chunis and delay the Dutch's northward goal had been achieved, and it was beyond expectations.

"The shopkeeper, in this battle, he killed more than 230 enemies, most of whom were natives who converted to foreign religions near Dayuan Port. There were only fourteen pure-bred Dutch people and seven mixed-race." Early the next morning, Gao Feng reported to Li Mingxun the result of the battle.

Seeing that Li Mingxun was quite interested, Gao Feng said: "I showed the head to the Dutch general. The dead Dutch people were all soldiers and subordinate officers, and there were no important figures."

Li Mingxun looked at Gao Feng with a smile. He didn't expect that this guy could guess his plan.

"At this time, the defeated soldiers have returned to Dayuan Port. You immediately select some of the indigenous people from the prisoners, let them transport the wounded back to the city of Relanzha, and hand the letter to Chunis. In addition, let Major Scher go to the Madou Club to persuade the enemy who was resisting in the school. By the way, let him bring this thing with you!" Li Mingxun ordered, while handing a letter and a heavy box to Gao Feng.

Gao Feng put away the letter and opened the box. He saw that there was a solid shell of a four-pound cannon inside. Naturally, he understood the truth. The shell was seized by the battle. With three four-pound cannons, the wall fortifications Magel relied on was useless, and he would either die or surrender.

Jelan Cham.

The crows kept coming through the narrow windows. Chunis saw them circling at the city gate. The sun had risen again. The hills in the distance gradually stretched out in the light and shadow, appearing from the shrouded darkness. The sea breeze blew away the morning mist, but also sent the howling at the city gate into Chunis' ears.

There were more than a dozen wooden shelves at the city gate, each with a man nailed to each of them. Han people who owed the captive tax and indigenous people who violated the laws were victims of Chunis' bad mood, but more were defeated soldiers who retreated from the battlefield, and the news they brought caused chaos.

"Is there no news about Da Yang?"

Chunis has asked this question more than ten times, but no one can give him a definite news. The news sent back by the defeated soldiers is strange. Some say that Da Yang was smashed by the demons that rushed out of the woods, some say that Da Yang had surrendered to the enemy, and some claim that the large group of troops was trapped in the Madou Club waiting for rescue, but one thing is certain, the large group of troops who came to help Magel had failed.

"Governor General, Governor General."

The sound of rapid footsteps came from outside. Chunis turned around and saw a panicked officer. He was one of the officers who followed Da Yang to Madou Club, but he was not equipped with a weapon at this time. He hung an arm on his chest. Chunis's face changed slightly and asked, "Tell me what happened, where is Da Yang?"

The officer seemed to be indescribable, and his eyes swept across the other people in the office. He Bin bowed and said, "Governor General, I still have some facts to deal with, so I will take the blame first."

"No!" Chunis shook his head and looked around for a week and said, "You can help me here, and the rest of you go and do it."

He Bin was a little wary of this. Seeing the waiter leading the company's businessmen and officers to retreat, leaving only his aliens, he became a little alert.

"Governor, we were ambushed, with more than a thousand ambushers, including the jungle samurai of the Huweilong Society, the Tatars from the north, and the firearms equipped with meshes and cyclone guns. They belonged to the Tenglong Trading Company, and the natives who were vassals collapsed, and Lord Dayang and Major Scher led the survivors to surrender."

The officer said something like a bolt from the blue. He sat on the chair with heavy breathing sounds constantly. He Bin looked at Chunis's ups and downs and knew that he was on the verge of collapse and couldn't help but take two steps back. God knew what this tyrant would do after being furious.

Chunis' hands and feet were trembling slightly. He didn't say anything. No one in the office dared to speak. After a long time, Chunis sighed, but it had already calmed down. He straightened his broad back, stretched his clenched fists, and asked, "How did you know so much?"

"It was the enemy who told me that he hoped that I could describe their strength to you in detail so that you would not make a wrong decision, and Lord Dayang also supported it." The officer whispered.

Chunis, who controlled his emotions, did not pursue the arrogance in this words. He nodded slightly and asked a few more detailed questions. The officers answered one by one. He Bin was shocked when he heard it. Da Yang led the team to surrender. Magel was the same. The enemy's troops exceeded 3,000 people, and there was a well-equipped firearms unit. The rest of the natives also had iron weapons. The enemy's tactics were not common in the natives. They used the terrain well, and the orders were consistent, and the formation was strict. Just listening to the officer's description, you would know that their strength was no less than that of the Dutch in Dayuan Port, but how could Taiwan have such a force, and it really belonged to the Tenglong Trading Company, and that young man?

When He Bin walked out of shock, he found that the officer had left, and Chunis was calling his name.

"Governor General, please forgive my misconduct. This news is really too shocking." He Bin said.

Chunis shook his head slightly and said silently: "I originally wanted to use Tenglong Trading Club to resist the harassment of Dadu Fan and Huwei Long Club from the north. Unexpectedly, in just two years, I personally cultivated a monster."

"Then what are you going to do?" He Bin asked carefully.

Chunis did not answer, but took out two copies of information from the drawer and placed it in front of He Bin. He Bin walked forward and took a closer look. The first was a public letter from the Batavia headquarters, written by the company's director-general. This is a real-powerful person second only to the Governor of Batavia, managing all trade in Asia.

The content of the official letter is very simple. In the summary of the information provided by Vietnamese merchants from Ming and Vietnamese who were traveling to Batavia, and obtained evidence from the return merchant ships, a new open port called Hong Kong appeared in Guangdong Province of Ming. The Director-General asked why Chunis did not report this important news in a timely manner. At the end of the official letter, the Director-General mentioned a concept of whether it is possible to set up a merchant store in Hong Kong to obtain the opportunity to trade directly with the Ming Empire.

The second report was compiled by Chunis himself. The source of information is very complicated and all related to Hong Kong. The report clearly describes the process of Hong Kong's opening of a port. Although the information attributes it to the private relationship between Li Mingxun and the new governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, the huge impact of the opening of Hong Kong is indeed difficult to ignore.

When He Bin saw this, he couldn't help but say, "This Li Mingxun has done such a big thing behind our backs. With Hong Kong here, maybe the adults at Batavia headquarters would not be happy to see us hostile to Tenglong Trading Company."

He Bin was a little scared and cursed himself for not controlling his mouth. You know, there are only a few people in the entire Dayuan Port who know the mobilization of Dayuan Port and are preparing for the real purpose of the Northern War. In fact, this is Chunis and Dayang making up for the mistakes and want to make a fortune in it.

"Why, you don't have to be so reserved. You are right. If there were no Hong Kong, Li Mingxun was the challenger of the Formosa Order. Whether it was the seventeen gentlemen of Amsterdam or the governor of Batavia, they would eliminate him without hesitation. But with Hong Kong, it would be different. This is an opportunity to change the trade pattern with the Ming Dynasty. You know, in the nearly forty years of the company's establishment, it is a consensus among all the senior leaders to trade directly with the Ming Kingdom and obtain a stronghold similar to Macau." Chunis said eagerly.

"What do you mean is to turn swords into jade?" He Bin asked.

Chunis smiled and said, "That's how it is, turning bloody wars into money-making business, is this true wisdom, right?"

As he said that, Chunis stood up, poured himself and He Bin a glass of wine produced in Persia, and said with a smile: "Li Mingxun and I are like two gladiators. This unexpected war is a mutual temptation. Neither of us can defeat our opponents. If the war continues, it will turn into a bloody and inferior battle, which will be of no benefit to anyone. Why not choose a ceasefire? I think Taiwan can accommodate two beasts, and the broad ocean is the same. Moreover, there is a common enemy between us and Li Mingxun - the Spanish."

"But how did you explain Li Mingxun's appearance to Batavia? It's okay to talk about Hong Kong, but everything in Budai Port seems to be unfavorable to the headquarters' evaluation of you." He Bin asked carefully.

Chunis smiled slightly, clinked cups with He Bin, and said, "If we can get the opportunity to trade directly with the Ming Dynasty, all this is nothing. Of course, we are thousands of miles away from Batavia, and Amsterdam is even thousands of miles away. There are many things we can do. He, the most important thing now is to recover the losses and control the situation. At least both sides cannot declare war. I am going to let you be my plenipotentiary representative and go to negotiate with Li Mingxun, how about it?"

He Bin's heart sank. He looked at Chunis and found that his face was full of ardent expectations. It was exciting to be appreciated by the Governor, but this excitement soon disappeared in He Bin's heart. You know, in Dayuangang, Chunis not only had one confidant, but even without Dayang, Chunis also had a few trustworthy people. Why did he choose himself?

He Bin, who was born in the pirate leader, knew the reason. He tentatively said: "Of course I am happy, it's just the Governor. I hope to say goodbye to my wife. After all, I don't know how long it will take to go there this time."

"No, it's not too late, why, please get off quickly." Chunis said immediately.

He Bin nodded slightly, and was even more sure that he was a carefully selected person from Chunis, a person who was capable and could be a victim at any time. After all, for East India Company, dying a foreign employee is not a big deal.

"Okay, Governor, we need to discuss some details about the opponent." He Bin said.

Seeing that He Bin agreed, Chunis was feeling much more refreshed, so he said it without missing a word. The more he knew about Tenglong Trading Company, the more complicated He Bin's mood was. He could hardly imagine how Li Mingxun gathered such a large force in such a short time. In addition to maritime power, Tenglong Trading Company was no less than the Dutch in Dayuan Port.
