Chapter 279 He will become the master of this land!
"We are doing this, which is simply treason. If it were in Spain, the only thing waiting for us was the extremely neatly arranged gallows on the square." Captain Casillas complained in a low voice. His Spanish navy uniform was originally his favorite dress, but now he feels uncomfortable. Perhaps it is because he has lost the honor and dignity of Spanish naval officers at this moment, which has such a psychological shadow.
"That's just a hypothesis, dear Casillas, now we are citizens of the Qing Dynasty, or we are Master Liang's pirate subordinates. Treason no longer refers to people like us who have been abandoned by the motherland. Lieutenant Colonel Juan is quite open-thinking. Anyway, don't think about it now when they return to Spain. With the increasing expansion of Liang Pengfei's power, Lieutenant Colonel Juan feels that it is also a good idea to follow Liang Pengfei. Although he was helpless at the beginning, now he feels that this is a perfect decision. It's sure.
Liang Pengfei not only gave them rich rewards, but also tried his best to meet their needs in life, and has arranged someone to pick up the families of these Spanish naval officers who are willing to stay with Liang Pengfei as instructors. Thinking that there is still half a year at most, they can see the lovely Little Juan and his beautiful wife, Juan is full of gratitude to Liang Pengfei.
"If Master Liang becomes the master of this ancient and huge empire, won't we also be recorded in history with him?" Lieutenant Colonel Juan said secretly in his heart.
"You're right. In fact, I'm very happy to see the Spanish warships beat these damn Dutchmen into idiots." A Spanish indignant gritted his teeth and stared at the Dutch warship at the port. His words were recognized by most of the Spaniards present.
Because there are too many feuds between the two colonial empires of the Netherlands and Spain, when Spain, an old colonial empire, declined, the Netherlands continued to seize the Spanish colonies, the West Indies and the colonies of Central and South America from Spain, and actively explored North America.
Spain replaced it and became the most powerful colonial empire in the 17th century. However, in the second half of the 17th century, after several failed battles against Britain and France, the colonial power of the Netherlands declined greatly. In the 18th century, Britain replaced the Netherlands as the most powerful colonial empire in Western Europe.
--------------------
The Spaniards certainly will not sympathize with this old enemy, but in the Eastern colonies, they all have a strong opponent: Britain. Therefore, after Britain became the new maritime hegemon, although Spain and the Netherlands still did not like each other, they aimed their main eyes and targets on their common enemy: Britain.
But now, the Spaniards have dispatched such a powerful fleet even between European countries, appearing outside the port of Sugadana and surrounding the Dutch fleet. Does this mean that two old colonial powers will start a new bloody conflict?
The expression of the commissioner Ovimas was very complicated, both angry and annoyed. Indeed, the Spaniard unexpectedly appeared here, which was definitely an unexpected change that the Dutch did not expect.
"Conspiracy, this is definitely a conspiracy, maybe it is a conspiracy designed by those damn Lanfang Chinese. Damn, how many pounds of gold did they spend to let the greedy Spaniards hire so many warships to help them? Oviemas, the commissioner of the Dutch East India Company, who had been in the vortex of political struggle between Western colonies for years, soon straightened out his mind. He desperately found that any conspiracy in his mind did not fit the current situation and enabled his country's fleet to be saved.
"Surrender? General, now the other party has put on the flag and asked us to lay down our weapons and surrender. What should we do? The first mate turned around with a stinky sweat and reported the latest situation loudly to the somewhat dazed Brigadier General Van Gaal.
"What should we do?" Van Gaal's mouth showed a helpless wry smile. Looking at the sail leaves that almost covered the sea level, Van Gaal felt that the answer was quite obvious.
"General, you should break through. We still have time. You see, the other side's warships are surrounded in two directions. We can break north to meet the warships just now." Oviemas shouted nervously.
Van Gaal raised his eyes and looked at the panicked commissioner, who represented the colonial governor. There was a trace of pity in his eyes, as if he was sympathizing with an idiot who was playing with a lit firecracker under his nose.
"What kind of expression are you with?" Seeing Van Gaal's expression clearly, Oviemas couldn't help but get angry.
"I don't think your suggestion will improve our current situation. Do you know that the sound of artillery in the north just now represents that at least 200 guns are firing in a volley, that is to say, in the north, there is also a powerful fleet blocking our way." Van Gaal explained coldly.
This explanation makes Oviemas look even worse. He really doesn't know how to describe his mood at this moment. It's like a wild dog that has been driven out of the poor alley, wandering and helpless. So what should we do?"
Van Gaal's face was full of bitterness: "Now we only have two choices left. First, let our brave soldiers fight a battle that we know we will die. Second, surrender. Although I don't want to fall into the hands of those damn Spaniards and let those bastards laugh at us, we can at least keep this. Some children's lives are safe, waiting for things to turn around or the Governor to negotiate with the Spaniards.
Listening to Van Gaal's words, Ovimas's expression became extremely rich. Now, please make a choice on behalf of the Governor, and I will listen to your choice with my soldiers, whether it is surrender or fight to the death.
Hearing the word "death war", Ovimas' heart jumped. He didn't want to die. He was just a commissioner of the company, not a soldier. The important thing was that he still had a good time, and he still had a rich family property to squander.
Ovimas's mind immersed in the political jar soon made the most favorable choice. In order to keep the lives of these brave soldiers from being harmed. I would like to ask the general to order the soldiers to lay down their weapons. I believe that the Governor-General will let this damn Spaniard make a reasonable explanation.
"Do as you wish." Van Gaal couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart and nodded to the first mate standing beside him: "Do what Mr. Special Agent said, raise the white flag, and tell the other party that we are willing to surrender, but they must give us the corresponding treatment."
"Yes, General." The mate, who also looked relaxed, saluted quickly and began to give orders. Because in Europe, when you find that your side is at an absolute disadvantage, the probability of a death battle is rare. Generally speaking, the party at a disadvantage will choose to surrender, and the rest should be that those brazen politicians who are running on the Guanghan Expressway will appear.
--------------------
Under normal circumstances, the country will try its best to save its soldiers. In a word, the conditions are exchanged. Anyway, everything is fine as long as the life is fine.
However, when they all got off the ship and lined up on the dock waiting for the Spaniards to accept their surrender, they found that they had made a mistake. The Spanish naval officers who they thought were the protagonists were just supporting roles, and the real protagonist was actually a beautiful female surname that people couldn't move their eyes. , a noble oriental female surname with a very mysterious oriental atmosphere.
"I accept your surrender on behalf of the Chinese of Lanfang Company. From now on, you are already prisoners of Lanfang Company. I hope you understand your identity and don't make any senseless resistance. Otherwise, I believe that I am happy to let you understand what fear is." The reserved smile on Shi Xianggu's face can be said to be the upside down of all sentient beings, but the meaning expressed from her mouth made these Dutch people look like ashes in an instant.
This is actually a conspiracy of Lanfang Chinese against us. Mr. Ovimas, the commissioner who represents the will of the Governor of the Netherlands and the Dutch East India Company, suddenly found that Lanfang, who he thought was a fat lamb, turned into a beast in a blink of an eye, and the hunter turned into a prey.
"But with so many warships, it can't be owned by Lanfang Company." Oviemas muttered.
"Of course, this is my husband's fleet." Shi Xianggu proudly raised her head and looked at the countless warships scattered outside the port. There are the original warships of the Liang family, some captured in the later defense of Crab King Island, and some captured in Manila in the later period. In addition, there is the entire navy fleet of Annan Ruan Wenhui. It can be said that except for the Qing Dynasty, such a huge fleet can no longer be found in this area. Of course, the morale of the two sides and war are taken in this way. Compared with the fighting power, Shi Xianggu is confident that her husband's fleet can definitely gain the upper hand.
"You, your husband... Which country is the monarch?" Brigadier General Van Gaal took off his military cap and looked very respectful. Westerners are used to bowing their heads to the strong, which is not just a habit, but a heavenly surname.
"Now he is just a pirate, but soon, he will become the master of this land." There was a trace of fanaticism and admiration in Shi Xianggu's wonderful eyes. The pirates behind her were also hot, and they also took Shi Xianggu's words for granted.
