Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 651 Rebellion
This knowledge made the Dutch envoy very angry, and immediately said to Zheng Zhibao: "Do you think that the city of Zeelandia can be captured with a large number of people?"

"You can try it!" Zheng Zhibao didn't argue with him, but just replied lightly, ready to end this meaningless negotiation.

The Dutch envoy was a little surprised when he heard the soft but hidden needle words.Later, when he saw Zheng Zhibao wanting to drive people away, he was still a little bit cowardly, but his voice was still loud: "As a kingdom of heaven, if you have the ability, don't bully the few people just because you have more people, what kind of heroes are you? What kind of kingdom is it?"

It's really thanks to him that he can say this.

Thinking that Zheng Zhibao is a man of the rivers and lakes, he used to be a pirate, so he said "what a hero", thinking that the other party was following the emperor's order, so he added "what kind of heavenly kingdom"?
It can be seen that the Dutch really have no choice but to reverse the situation through aggressive methods.

However, Zheng Zhibao is not stupid in front of this kind of military affairs. Even if he is stupid, Zeng Ying, Lu Jiude and others will not be stupid. How could he be subjected to such a superficial provocation!
No, after Zheng Zhibao heard this, he sneered and said: "There is really no way, we have too many people! If you are smarter, surrender unconditionally immediately, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

"Wait and see, we Dutch people roam the world, and no one has ever made us surrender!" Hearing this, the Dutch envoy couldn't possibly choose to surrender unconditionally. He immediately put down a sentence indignantly, and then left.

Zheng Zhibao saw that the negotiation was over, so he turned his head to look at Lu Jiude, the superintendent, and when he was about to speak, he heard Lu Jiude say lightly: "Master Zheng, don't care about our family, just pretend that our family doesn't exist. Long live There is an explanation, our family will not interfere with your command!"

Speaking of it, he was actually very unwilling to come here to be the supervisor of the army. How comfortable it is to stay in Nanjing and be the eunuch guarding Nanjing!

However, he could not disobey the emperor's will.Fortunately, he was not seasick, otherwise it would have been even more uncomfortable.

Seeing that the eunuch was so talkative, Zheng Zhibao felt relieved a lot, and immediately discussed with Zeng Ying and the others to prepare for the next move.

Besides, on the Zeelandia City side, Kuiyi waited for the envoy to come back and hurriedly asked about the situation, but he was naturally disappointed.

Disappointed, he cheered up and encouraged the morale of his subordinates: "Our city of Zeelandia is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and our material reserves are sufficient. Although the Ming army has a large number of people, it is impossible to think that we will be able to take down Zeelandia in a short while. As long as we stick to it, Batavia will definitely send reinforcements, and the final victory must belong to us!"

Needless to say, if in the original history, he really persisted for a long time until Batavia's reinforcements arrived, but in the end, he still chose to surrender.

The reason why he can persist for so long is mainly because Zheng Chenggong's army is far inferior to them in terms of firearms.In the vast majority of battles, Zheng Chenggong's men fought against them with cold weapons, at most adding matchlock guns.

Moreover, Zheng Chenggong's elite men were all lost in the battle to recover Nanjing. After they were defeated and returned to Fujian, they remembered Dongfan as their base because of the heavy losses.

Therefore, Zheng Chenggong's subordinates in the past, compared with Zheng Zhibao's subordinates today, can't be compared in terms of the quality of soldiers or military equipment.Needless to say, Zheng Chenggong took down Zeelandia City gropingly, while Zheng Zhibao was taking an open-book exam.

After nightfall, the huge number of Ming troops still made the area of ​​Zeelandia very lively.This made the Dutch not dare to relax their vigilance, and kept on alert, keeping a close eye on the movement of the Ming army.

On the first day of the battle between the two armies, no one paid attention. In fact, there was another group of people on the battlefield.These people were captured and labored by the Dutch.

When they first found out that the Ming warship was coming, the Dutch thought it would be easy to deal with it. In addition, if these middle-aged laborers were let go, it would take a lot of energy and time to catch them later, so they put all the thousand or so laborers in custody at that time. He was imprisoned in the cellar of Urechtburg.

Because there were so many people, the people in the cellar had no place to stay, and it was more crowded than a can of sardines.Just like that, they still couldn't squeeze in, so they locked the rest of the people in several empty warehouses in the castle.

Among them, Guo Huaiyi was locked in one of the warehouses.This place was also full of people, but under the chaotic environment, no one dared to complain, and the Dutch didn't care about them, they were all busy fighting.

Guo Huaiyi and the others were all very shocked and wanted to know the situation outside.Fortunately, his prestige is relatively high on weekdays, and all the fellow villagers walk together, so the detainees in this warehouse are basically fellow villagers he knows.

Listening to the movement outside, the faint sound of guns and guns, and the voices of Dutch people passing by outside the warehouse from time to time, Guo Huaiyi probably guessed something, so he whispered to the fellow a little excitedly: "Brothers, it seems that the Zheng family must conquer this place this time. It's unimaginable that so many people came here!"

When they were escorted to Fort Ullert, they had already seen the countless warships on the sea, so everyone was very excited when they heard his words.

"If that's the case, that would be great!"

"Yeah, these red barbarians don't treat us as human beings at all, and use us to death. If things go on like this, sooner or later we will be killed by these red barbarians!"

"That's right! If the Zheng family becomes the masters here, then our life will be very easy!"

"Yes, the Zheng family is good to us common people!"

"..."

Zheng Zhilong was very kind to the people of Fujian, and even often gave relief, which made him win the hearts of the people. This is also one of the important reasons why he was able to rise from many pirates and eventually become the Pirate King.

At this time, these Ming people who came from Fujian to discuss life were very excited after discussing it, and felt that there was hope for the future.

They were discussing, when suddenly, Guo Huaiyi said "Ah!" "Not good!"

Hearing this, the others couldn't help being a little surprised, and immediately asked what's wrong?
Guo Huai looked at them and said with a serious expression: "The Zheng family has so many horses, this battle will definitely take a long time, and we have thousands of people locked up in this castle, what do you think Hong Yi will do to us? "

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed immediately.

These Hong Yi didn't regard them as human beings at all, just eating and drinking, they didn't know how much they would consume every day, how could this be something Hong Yi could bear!
Thinking of this, many people's stomachs growled immediately.I just ate a little in the morning, and then not only did I not eat, I didn't even have to drink my saliva.

"Brother Guo, what should we do?"

Immediately someone represented everyone and raised this issue to Guo Huaiyi.

They all believed in Guo Huaiyi, and now they can only pin their hopes on Guo Huaiyi.

Seeing this, Guo Huai said with a stern expression: "If you don't resist, you will die. If you resist, you may survive. Tonight we will fight. If there is a big trouble, maybe the Zheng family will come to support us. We have a chance!"

Fort Urecht is located on the top of the mountain. If it is occupied here, it will overlook the city of Zeelandia below.

In the original history, it was also because Zheng Chenggong captured this place that the morale of the Dutch in the city of Zeelandia collapsed and they had to surrender.

Guo Huaiyi obviously had some foresight, so he made such a judgment.

However, others still hesitated and asked, "Can we really succeed? Will it be too dangerous?"

Guo Huaiyi had already explained this, and he didn't want to explain any more. He just widened his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Brothers, do you want to do it?"

After his words fell, the people around him responded one by one.

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

"..."

The Han people in the Ming Dynasty were never lacking in blood.Whether it was the massacre of the Ming people by the Spaniards in Luzon, or the massacre of the Chinese in Batavia later, they all resisted violently.

Even when the Spanish governor of Luzon forced 250 Ming people to be the oarsmen of the flagship, the Ming people headed by Pan Hewu and others chose to rebel at night and killed the Spanish governor on the spot.Of the 80 Spaniards in total, only 14 managed to escape.Afterwards, Pan, Wu and others drove the flagship back to Daming.

At this time, as soon as Guo Huai saw that everyone in the warehouse had expressed his opinion, he took out a small dagger from somewhere on his body, a small one, but it was enough to kill people.Then, he looked at the window of the warehouse and said, "After dark, I will climb out and open the door!"

When the Dutch first built the castle, they probably never thought of locking people in the warehouse, so there were no iron railings in the windows, and anyone who was not particularly burly could get out.

The Dutch temporarily locked these laborers here, and were attracted by the Ming army outside. At this time, they did not check whether the facilities in their castle were safe or not.Of course, if the time drags on, the Dutch will definitely have to deal with so many laborers, and there will definitely be targeted measures at that time.

Guo Huaiyi deserved to be the boss, not only did he hide a dagger on his body, but also made his fellow villagers have nothing to say when he said this, which shows that his skills are also recognized.

Afterwards, Guo Huaiyi thought about the layout of the castle he saw when he came in, and while speaking out, he asked other people to see if there was anything to add, and planned for the night's action.

At night, the Dutch still didn't think of these workers, or in other words, they didn't take them into consideration at all.This can be seen from the fact that they have never given water and food to the workers.

Guo Huaiyi waited patiently until the night was quiet, when the whole world seemed to be quiet except for the sound of the sea wind and waves, then he began to move quietly.
