Soon, the Ming army moving forward neatly saw a huge white flag on the ruins of the collapsed city wall being waving vigorously by a Spanish soldier.

"We surrender! Please do not attack!"

Next to the soldier, a Han man in a dress was familiar with the news and shouted at the Ming army that was approaching him.

Li Dingguo, the leader of the Pingding camp who was following the infantry battle formation, waved his hand and the moving team immediately stopped.

The commander-in-chief Li Xiao from behind was immediately heard, agreeing to the Spanish surrender.

"Everyone put down their weapons and go out of the city to surrender!" Li Dingguo slowed down his horse and came to the front of the formation and shouted coldly: "If you dare to cheat, our army will be punished severely and kill you without leaving any hell!"

The Han people agreed to the promises in a row and immediately returned to report.

Soon, nearly 900 Spanish soldiers and the 500-strong military servants, stood empty-handed and dejectedly walked out of the collapsed southern wall.

At this time, Commander-in-Chief Li Xiao had already arrived. Under the protection of a group of guards, he couldn't help but smile when he looked at the Spanish army stretching out from the city.

Trier, who was walking at the end of the surrendered Spanish team, stared at the front not far away. Among the guards in exquisite steel armor, the one wearing bright silver steel armor, eight-petaled phoenix-winged tassel helmet, a barbarian lion blue jade belt, a bronze shin-protecting boots, a bright red flower cloak, and a horse riding a tall horse with black body, a snow-white hooves.

Trier thought to himself that this person should be the commander of the Ming army.

Sure enough, after seeing the Spanish army empty-handed, all had walked out of the city and surrounded by a group of gun, shield and infantrymen of the Tiger Army, the general slowly stepped forward and shouted: "I am the Ming Dynasty's Red Feng Bo Li Xiao, who is your chief general, come out and answer quickly."

The Han people translated this sentence to Terrier at the fastest speed.

Trier, covered in dust and messy hair, slowly walked to the front of the Spanish surrender team, and looked up at Li Xiao, who was sitting on the high horse with an indifferent look.

"You are the Spanish garrison officer, Trier?" Li Xiao asked calmly.

After listening to the translation of the news, Trier nodded with difficulty.

Li Xiao tapped the whip with one hand, but his face was full of teasing smiles: "You are so unwise. Our army attacks with such a huge rock-pressing egg. If you are aware of the current affairs, you should quickly surrender and save your life. It is a pity that the more than 100 Spanish soldiers who fell to death from the city walls have been killed in vain because of your thoughts."

Trier felt extremely ashamed when he heard Li Xiao ridicule himself like this, but he said stubbornly: "Li Xiao, what's your ability to attack like this despicable? If our fleet in Jilong Port can come to protect Santo Domingo City in time, it will not allow you to win so smoothly."

After hearing Trier's words, Li Xiao's face looked like a sudden realization. He said in a surprised tone: "It turns out that the garrison officer doesn't know that your six ships and the castle on Peace Island in Jilong Port have been trapped in Jilong Port by my thirty warships. Now I'm afraid they have surrendered to our army."

"you!......"

Trier's face turned pale after hearing the translator's words. He was stunned for a while before he said hatefully and helplessly: "Earl Li, now our army has surrendered. According to the civilized people's principles, should we discuss the conditions for peace between the two sides? Let's talk about what you plan to deal with us and how much war reparation we have to pay so that you can leave here?"

Li Xiao laughed loudly, and then he said coldly: "Hmph, you, a defeated general, have all your wealth, life and life in the hands of my uncle. What capital do you have? Let me negotiate with me!"

Trier gritted his teeth, but his eyes were filled with fear: "Li Xiao, are you going to kill us? You must know that killing prisoners who put down their weapons is the most despicable and despised cowardly act. You devil, God will definitely punish you!"

"Haha, do you want to punish Ben? Then Ben would like to ask you, did you Spanish devils ever think of being punished by God when you killed more than 20,000 Chinese people in Manila?! Ben doesn't understand your God. Ben just knows that there is an old saying in China that those who violate the powerful Han Dynasty in their wise will be punished even if they are far away!"

Li Xiao's voice was loud, like thunder rolling by. When he finished speaking, his face was already ferocious, and the guards next to him were also angry.

After hearing the translator tremble, Terrier shivered without realizing it.

Although he did not understand Li Xiao's last words very much, he only understood the meaning of Li Xiao's words from his translation words, and reminded him of a sentence that the ancient Roman poet Virgil said.

"The real Romans will never forget the harm that Rome has suffered."

Trier whined a few times, faced Li Xiaofeng's sharp eyes, and finally lowered his head and said in a weak voice: "Count Li, are you going to kill us now and avenge the Chinese who died in Manila decades ago?"

As soon as he finished his words, the Spanish soldiers around him immediately became in chaos. Many people cried loudly, and some even knelt down and begged for mercy immediately.

The surrounding guns, shields, infantrymen immediately shouted loudly to silence them, and beat several fear-screaming Spanish men, and these Spanish men became quiet.

Seeing these Spanish people, Li Dingguo, the battalion commander of Pingnan Camp, who was watching silently, spitted on the ground with disgust.

What Trier didn't expect was that after hearing his words, Li Xiao just shook his head gently.

"No, I don't want to kill you today, and I can let you go back to Luzon." Li Xiao's words were calm and clear, but his eyes were very cold: "But, one day in the future, I will definitely settle the old and new debts with you."

After hearing that Li Xiao did not kill them, Trier was extremely happy and didn't think much about the deeper meaning of Li Xiao's words. However, at this time, his face still had a look of negotiation: "Count Li, why do you have to return to the Philippines? We can give your army generous compensation and more convenience for trade, as long as you let us..."

Li Xiao waved his hand and interrupted Trier's words. He said in a deep voice: "Listen, the only thing Benber can promise you now is to let you and the Spaniards in the city return to the Philippines safely on those two armed merchant ships. Apart from that, no conditions are allowed. This land of Taipei, this city and port, and all your property and items in the city are fully received by our army."

Trier looked shocked and protested loudly: "Earl Li, you can't do this. If we just withdraw to the Philippines in such a shame, I will definitely go to the military court!"

Li Xiao's smile even stronger: "Oh, that's how it is, Ben is helpless."

"Please, Lord Li, you are a lot of mercy. At least let us keep a little pitiful decent and bring some luggage back so that I can explain to these subordinates. Even if I accept the judge's question in court, I will have some rebuttal words." Trier asked in a sarcastic voice, his voice extremely humble and flattering.

Li Xiao still smiled and shook his head.

Just as Trier was almost desperate, Li Xiao spoke slowly: "Oh, seeing that you are so pitiful, then I will give you a preferential condition."

Terry's eyes suddenly shone, and he looked straight at Li Xiao with his head tilted, his brown and black pupils full of desire.

"You go back to report to your Governor of Manila. Although the two countries have fought because of your Spanish invasion of our Daming Island, the war has ended now. Benb has not blamed you for trading with our army." Li Xiao smiled and said, "Trier, if you are smarter, you should know how to speak more beautifully at that time."

Trier showed an embarrassing smile on his face, and he nodded heavily to Li Xiao as a sign of gratitude.

He knew that in the current situation of almost begging, Li Xiao could allow himself to report to the Governor of Manila that the Spaniards and the Ming people could trade again. As the chief general who lost the army and the land, he had room for redirection when speaking.

Trier had quickly thought of excuses for himself.

That is, he led his troops to fight bloody battles with the Ming army and killed a lot of Ming troops. Unexpectedly, these yellow-skinned monkeys were large and powerful. The Ming emperor personally sent a great general to help him, so he finally declared his failure. However, under such unfavorable conditions, he could still make the enemy frightened and suppress the generals of the Ming country, forcing him to agree to protect his troops, safely withdraw back to the Philippines, and continue to trade with the Spanish, thus retaining a favorable condition for Spain to recover Taipei in the future.

After the Spanish were taken down, Li Xiao ordered the troops to enter the city to receive them, preparing to escort these Spanish people from Li Xiao's army to Jilong Port, from there, take the two Spanish armed merchant ships and then leave.

When he entered the city, Li Xiao was very moved after seeing the Western-style buildings all over the city and visiting the luxurious official residence of Trier.

These once rampant Spaniards are now, like the Dutch at the beginning of the year, and are honestly bowing down under their own swords.

In Li Xiao's view, these white people who claimed to be noble and advanced were more obedient and humble than the Han people and even the natives of Taiwan after becoming prisoners.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, sharp swords and sharp cannons are always the most powerful and respectable language and means.

In fact, Li Xiao was originally thinking of seizing all the Spanish soldiers and residents in the city as hostages, and letting Manila Governor Lopez exchange at least one million taels of silver, so as to gain greater benefits from this war.

However, after thinking for a long time, he still did not plan to do this.

Because if you really detain these Spaniards like this, you will undoubtedly completely anger the Spanish Empire, which is still powerful. If you are angry and spend money to send as many as 100 large fleets to retaliate, if your navy is still weak, you will suffer the only one who will suffer in the end.

In addition, the Spanish Empire is now heavily in debt and owes a lot of debts. It is still difficult to maintain the military existence in Asia. If they really want to hand over a million taels of silver to redeem people, these poor guys may not be able to pay them.

The scenery should be viewed in a long way.

As we do now, it can occupy the land of Taipei and not completely anger the Spaniards, making them and themselves live to perish, and they still have room for maneuvering each other, which should be the best way to deal with it.

It would be better to wait until his navy further grows and is enough to compete with the Spanish Asian fleet, and then send troops to Luzon to completely eliminate the Spanish who had committed many evil deeds, and then avenge this deep hatred for the 20,000 Han people who died.

"This Santo Domingo City was renamed Taipei County, and Jilong Port was renamed Keelung Port. This garrisoned official residence will be rebuilt into an official office in the future. This foreign church will be rebuilt into a children's school in the future. The former Spanish military camp will be garrisoned by various troops from Pingnan Camp. From now on, residents and people coming to Taiwan will be given priority to this Taipei place... "

Li Xiao was in a good mood and checked all the way and issued orders along the way.

The accompanying civil servants and generals nodded in agreement and wrote down Li Xiao’s arrangements.

Soon, the civil servants who entered the city to count the items reported to Li Xiao that the warehouses in the city were empty, with only more than 1,000 stones of grain, more than 5,000 taels of silver, and hundreds of eagle-headed silver coins.

Li Xiao nodded and signaled to know, but he felt more and more moved in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the once arrogant Spaniards are now in poverty and embarrassment. No wonder in real history, after Spain demolished the city of Santo Domingo, the former vassal state of the Netherlands immediately declared war on this weak old master and completely seized the entire Taiwan.

An hour later, the Spanish in the city were taken together. They were panicked and anxious, like a stray dog, and were scolded and taken to Jilong Port by Li Xiao's soldiers.

Trier drooped his head, even his armor was stripped away, and he walked among the Spanish soldiers with nothing.

However, he was still holding his mistress Asusena's hand tightly. At this time, Asusena followed him with a gloomy face, and was muttering words in her mouth that no one could hear clearly.

Li Xiao also went to Jilong Port with these escort soldiers. After arriving at the port, Li Xiao's eyes were quickly attracted by the four-masted Garen sailing warship.

This four-masted Galen sailing warship has a displacement of 1,200 tons of 70 meters, and its volume is similar to that of the flagship Shenglong of Li Xiaojun Navy. Among the six captured Spanish ships, they stand out.

Li Xiao noticed that on the four-masted Garen sailboat, the front two masts were hanging with stern sails, and the back two masts were hanging with spinnakers. On the entire warship, there were thirty cannons on the deck of the double-layer guns, and there were twenty-four cannons at the beginning and the stern of the ship, with a total of eighty-four cannons. This seemingly narrow and long ship shape has strong firepower and extremely strong mobility. At first glance, it looked like a giant ocean whale.

Li Xiao's deputy chief of the navy, Joseph, the Dutchman, came behind him at some point. Seeing Li Xiao look at the Garen ship so carefully, he introduced to him: "Mr. Li, this is the famous Spanish Garen sailboat. It is as narrow as a long, large in size and numerous artillery, which is a typical Spanish style. All kinds of battleships in our country are also influenced by it. Like this Garen sailboat, it has completely reached the second-level battleship of our Dutch Navy.

The standard of the ship can be said to be the second only to Lord Li. Moreover, the Galen sailing ship, due to its strong mobility and strong firepower, has become popular throughout the European continent. The only size and masts between countries are different. It is said that when the Spanish and British fought in a naval battle, the British relied on improving the Spanish Galen warship and using maneuvers and interspers to completely defeat the Spanish invincible fleet with its rigid tactical and failed dispatch... "

Joseph talked freely, and Li Xiao kept nodding.

Soon, the Spaniards boarded the two armed merchant ships, and the sailors and soldiers on the other four ships. Because Li Xiao's army now has sufficient reserve naval troops, Li Xiao also ordered them to board the two merchant ships and return.

"Earl Li, we will have a date later." Trier stood at the side of the ship and waved to Li Xiao with a wry smile.

"Well, I hope there will be a time later." Li Xiao returned and gave him a warm smile.
