The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 132 Recovering the Chiefs!

You know, Zheng Jun's military discipline is not good at all.

Now he has already gone mad in the city, even if he is Zheng Chenggong, he is not sure that he can control the chaos.

At this time, Zheng Tai, the main general of Zheng's army and a relative of the Zheng family, came up to report.

"My lord, the governor of Zeelandia City sent an envoy to surrender. I hope my lord can control the rebellion and stop killing again!"

Zheng Chenggong frowned slightly, then spoke.

"Hmph, let the envoy go back and tell Kui Yi that the king gave him a chance!"

"I didn't surrender before, but now I want to surrender, hehe, it's too late!"

Zheng Chenggong rejected Kui Yi head-on, using the excuse of giving him a chance.

Zheng Chenggong would rather bear the notoriety of bloodthirsty than admit that he cannot control the army!

The envoy was detained, and the killing in Zeelandia continued.

A large number of Dutch soldiers or civilians were killed, women were raped, blood and killing became the main theme of the city.

The only thing that made Zheng Chenggong feel better was that the Dutch expelled the Chinese in Zeelandia before the war.

In other words, there are only Dutch people in the city of Zeelandia now!
The most vicious crimes in the world are constantly being staged in the city.

Fortunately, the Zheng army was not the Qing army. Although their military discipline was poor, they did not do things like massacring cities after all.

Looting is looting, killing is killing, but there is no such thing as gathering people together and massacring them like pigs and dogs.

More than half of the Dutch in the city were killed, most of them soldiers.

When Zheng Jun's soldiers regained their senses, they stopped killing anyone they saw, but started to grab things and find women to vent their animal desires...

When Zheng Chenggong sent troops into the city to clean up the mess and control the chaos, the Dutch in Zeelandia were less than half of the pre-war numbers.

But they were not killed after all!
After Zheng Jun completely took over the city defense of Zeelandia City, Zheng Chenggong entered the city. He accepted the surrender of the Dutch Governor Kui Yi in public and entered the Governor's Palace.

Since then, Dayuan Island, which was occupied by the Dutch colonists for 37 years, has become the land of Ming Dynasty again!
……

The beginning of May in 1661 in the Western calendar!

The news that Dayuan Island was recovered by Zheng Chenggong seemed to have grown wings, drifting towards the South China Sea along the monsoon and ocean currents!

In the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion in Manila, Governor Barossa, Bishop Sares, Consul Rika and a group of senior officials of the Governor's Mansion gathered together.

Every face is full of dignified color!
Because, Zheng Chenggong regained the officials, the city of Zeelandia fell, and the news came that most of the Dutch people in the city were killed or injured!

Although the Netherlands is hostile to Spain and the Dutch are deflated, they should be happy.

But no!

Under the sorrow of the rabbit and the fox, they only felt chills in their hearts.

You know, the Dutch have never massacred Chinese before this.

But after the fall of Zeelandia, most of the Dutch in the city were killed or injured.

However, the Spaniards have slaughtered Hua twice, and their bad deeds are full of stains.

If Manila is breached!

The Spaniards in the city must be exterminated!
Governor Barossa stood up and said.

"Dear gentlemen, you don't need to put on such a picture!"

"Spanish boys are not cowardly Dutch merchants, and Manila is not Zeelandia. Manila will never be breached!"

During this period of time, the Liberation Army and the Governor's Office in Manila have maintained a short-term peace in tacit understanding!

The Liberation Army is expanding its troops frantically, accumulating strength, and preparing for a decisive battle with the Spaniards.

The Spaniards did not sit back and watch the situation change, and the Governor's Palace has been preparing for the war.

One is to recruit soldiers from the mixed-race whites in Manila to expand the size of the army.

The second is to accumulate a large amount of ordnance and armaments, and to intensify the training of the militias whose combat strength was worrying in the past.

The third is to recruit servants from the Pampanga aborigines, hire Japanese warriors who are known for being brave and good at fighting, and even soldiers from countries such as Annan and Siam to form mercenaries.

Quite effective!

After this period of time, excluding those troops who need to be stationed and the sailors in the fleet, Manila's mobile force has reached 2000.

If the garrisons in various places and the sailors and sailors in the fleet are urgently deployed during the war, 4000 troops can be assembled!

It is difficult to count the number of militiamen, but after intensive training, the combat effectiveness of the Spanish militiamen has been greatly improved.

Of course, Barossa is not planning to let the militia go to the battlefield, but is going to let the militia temporarily replace the garrisons in various places during the war.

So that the garrisons from various places can be drawn to join the war!

The servants and mercenaries have also achieved remarkable results. During this period of time, the Governor's Mansion has recruited nearly [-] mercenaries, and they are undergoing training and training.

In fact, if it weren't for Colonel Robin's defeat in the mountains, the aborigines and Spanish soldiers who entered the mountains were almost wiped out.

The natives of Pampanga were terrified, and it would not be difficult for the governor's mansion to recruit native soldiers of the scale of [-].

What's more, when the galleon fleet arrives this summer, the Governor's Mansion will receive reinforcements of more than 1000 troops.

After careful calculation, in the decisive battle with the Restoration Army, the Governor's Mansion would probably be able to dispatch [-] white soldiers and [-] mercenaries.

A total of [-] troops is not scary!
However, although the operation of the Governor's Mansion was quite effective, the Governor's Mansion's finances had a big problem!

What is Manila?
To put it bluntly, it is a colony. As a colony, every year, it must deliver benefits to the mainland.

But in order to prepare for the war, the Manila Governor's Palace spent countless money before and after it!
Among them, there are those who have spent their money to the fullest, and some who have been corrupted.

After all, corrupt officials are not only a local product of China, they are just like flies and maggots, they are widely distributed!
However, all in all, it will be impossible for Manila to transfer benefits to the mainland in the next few years.

Barossa knew that no matter whether he could wipe out the Liberation Army or not, he would most likely end up as the governor just because he couldn't bring benefits to the mainland.

So, he also started to make money recklessly!

He Barossa came across the ocean to Manila to become an official, why?
Did he really love the Habsburgs?
Bullshit!

To put it bluntly, it is to make money!

There is a high probability that the governor's position will come to an end now, so why don't he hurry up and make more money?
Then, when the people below see that the governor is raking in money unscrupulously, there is no reason to hesitate, let's do it together!
Otherwise, all Shangguans are making money, so what do you mean if you don't make money?
Don't want to hang out? !
So, the big ones are big, the small ones are small, and the Governor's Mansion has spent so much money, but how much money has been spent is really unknown.

Although the current preparations for the Governor's Mansion seem to be very effective, there are many hidden dangers inside.

After all, if you want to make money in the army, there are only a few methods.

Eat empty pay, drink soldiers' blood, withhold military pay and food, tamper with ordnance...

But, since everyone is making money from this matter, they tacitly don't talk about it.

So much so that now, Governor Barossa has no idea how much water is in the army he has worked so hard to train!

Barossa said confidently.

"How much strength can the rebels have, this wave is stable, and the advantage lies with me!"

"Everyone, please cheer up and prepare for the battle. When the galleon fleet arrives, we will send troops to wipe out the rebels!"

"Use the blood of those damn Chinese to tell everyone that Manila will always be the Manila of Spain!"

…………

Still five more words!

Sorry for the late update today, mainly because the author's manuscript has been sent out.

In the future, there is a high probability that it will be updated at night.

Well, still looking for support!
