Chapter 110 Surrender Conditions
"And, after we withdraw from Lingayen, they must not take the initiative to pursue!"

"I can keep all the Chinese in Lingayen, but I will take all the Spaniards out of Lingayen and return to Manila."

Soros opened his mouth to make his request.

In Luzon, the biggest problem faced by the Spaniards and the Liberation Army can be said to be exactly the same, both of which are population shortages.

Soros understands this, so he wants to save the white population for Manila as much as possible, even if it is mixed.

……

Soon, Zhu Hongyu learned about Soros' conditions from the messenger. After pondering for a while, he spoke in a somewhat unfriendly tone.

"Can't you understand human language? What this general said is unconditional surrender!"

"This general can make a promise to absolutely guarantee the safety of the lives of all surrendered soldiers."

"Of course, if you Spaniards do something like that without a bottom line and massacre civilians by hand, then the general's promise will be automatically voided!"

"This general will not be honest with people who have no bottom line!"

Having said all this, Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while, then spoke again.

"As for the evacuation of civilians! War is a matter for soldiers, and it shouldn't involve civilians."

"This general can make a promise not to interfere with the free activities of Spanish civilians. After this war is over, Spanish civilians can be allowed to move out of Lingayen arbitrarily on the principle of voluntary."

"This general is not you Spaniards. If you can't win the war, you just massacre civilians to vent your anger, haha..."

"You dare to call yourself a civilized country?! You deserve it too?!"

"However, all Spanish soldiers in Lingayen must surrender their weapons and surrender unconditionally!"

"This point is not discussed!"

Hearing the sarcasm in Zhu Hongyu's words, the messenger showed shame.

Although he is a Catholic and does not regard pagans as human beings, he is really powerless to refute Zhu Hongyu's ridicule.

To massacre civilians if the war cannot be won is really not something that a civilized country can do!
The messenger took a deep breath, bowed and saluted, and then spoke.

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency, such a thing will never happen again!"

Zhu Hongyu sneered.

"Hehe, that's true, this kind of thing won't happen again!"

What the messenger said will not happen again means that the Spaniards will no longer raise their butcher knives against the Chinese.

Zhu Hongyu said that it will not happen again, which means that from now on Luzon will belong to Ming Dynasty, and of course Tu Hua will not happen again.

……

The envoy retreated and left.

But in the next half day, the emissary ran back and forth several times to the camp of the Restoration Army.

The two sides wrangled with each other, and finally negotiated the terms half a day later.

All the Spanish soldiers in Lingayen surrendered all their weapons, bound their hands, and unconditionally surrendered to the Liberation Army.

The Liberation Army did not waste a single shot, and took down a complete Lingayen.

More than 100 Spanish prisoners of war were captured without a single soldier!
But Zhu Hongyu also agreed, giving the Spaniards in Lingayen City half a day to evacuate.

This half-day allows those who want to evacuate Spain to pack their belongings and prepare what they need on the way to Manila.

Half a day later, when all the Spaniards left, the Liberation Army took over Lingayen City.

Moreover, Zhu Hongyu also made a promise to give decent treatment to more than 100 Spaniards who voluntarily surrendered.

Ordinary soldiers can work for the Liberation Army, but they are required to have enough food.

Officers don't need to work, and they can get treatment that matches their status.

And allow the Governor General in Manila to redeem them!
If ordinary prisoners of war dared to raise so many conditions with Zhu Hongyu, Zhu Hongyu would definitely send them to see God.

However, this batch of prisoners of war was different, they voluntarily surrendered.

Buy horse bones for thousands of dollars, so that the Spaniards will actively surrender on the battlefield in the future.

As long as the demands made by these prisoners of war are not excessive, Zhu Hongyu will hold his nose and agree to them all.

With the surrender of the Spanish defenders in Lingayen, all the Spaniards who settled in Lingayen were withdrawn, and the Liberation Army entered Lingayen.

Settling in Lingayen, the Chinese people who had had enough of the red-haired oppression in the past spontaneously rushed to the streets and cheered.

Cheer for the recovery army, the master of the Han family, and cheer for myself who is finally liberated and no longer has to be bullied by the red hair!
Many old people even knelt on the ground and cried loudly after seeing the twelve-pointed sun and moon flag of the Liberation Army.

They didn't expect that in their lifetime, they could still see the flag of Ming Dynasty flying high!

……

After Zhu Hongyu entered Lingayen, on the one hand, he arranged for the Liberation Army to repair on the spot and prepare for the next round of war.

On the other hand, they received famous people among Lingayen Chinese!
The people who were pushed out and accepted by Zhu Hongyu were two middle-aged people and one old man.

The two middle-aged people, one surnamed Ye and the other surnamed Zhao, were both the patriarchs of the local clan.

The old man's surname is Liu, and his name is Liu Wentong. It is said that he followed Emperor Longwu to fight against the Qing Dynasty in Fujian. After Emperor Longwu was defeated, he fled all the way south to Manila to avoid the military disaster.

I'd rather leave my hometown than die with a rat tail of money and have no face to meet my ancestors!

Seeing the master of the Han family and the twelve-pointed sun and moon flag of Ming Dynasty, Liu Wentong was extremely excited.

Seeing the three people visiting, Zhu Hongyu stood up to greet them in person.

"Mr. Liu, please take your seat!"

Liu Wentong waved his hand and refused, tremblingly saying he didn't dare.

Arranging the three to sit down, Zhu Hongyu glanced around, and then spoke.

"The Restoration Army has just been established. There are powerful enemies outside and hidden dangers inside. It is the time when we need the help of the world's sages!"

"Here is Hongyu, please come out and do things for the Guangfu Army!"

"Contribute to the great cause of expelling the Tartars, restoring China, recreating Ming Dynasty, and the great cause of China's rejuvenation!"

The three looked at each other, and Liu Wentong stood up and said.

"Although the old man is old, he is still willing to fight for another 20 years for my Daming!"

"And there is a son in the old man's family, who is considered smart. I would like to introduce it to Your Excellency the General, and make a document under your Excellency's tent, write and calculate, and share your worries for the General."

Zhu Hongyu said.

"The old man is a great talent. The old man's son must also be a great talent. Isn't it a waste to just be a clerk?"

"This general will definitely reuse it!"

Having said all this, Zhu Hongyu glanced around, and then spoke.

"It's just that the war is tense now, and the Spaniards may counterattack at any time. This general has to worry about the war, and there is really no time to decide on the official system."

"I can only wrong the old gentleman first, and a few gentlemen, in the name of a staff officer, to serve in the Guangfu Army."

"When the war slows down a bit, I will clarify the official system, and I will definitely not treat you sages badly!"

"You sages help me restore Daming, in the future, this general will not hesitate to reward you as a marquis!"

Zhu Hongyu once again sent his Dafa of painting cakes.

Draw cakes for the few people in front of you!

In fact, Zhu Hongyu doesn't even need to paint cakes. Even if the three people in front of them bring their own dry food, they will follow him.

It's not because they love Daming so much and want to restore China!
It's because they have no choice!
