You have to keep your word. If you say that you don’t keep your chickens and dogs, you have to keep your chickens and dogs!

For the Dutch in Jelancha, if they heard this, they would definitely beat the chief officer Paul to death.

But now, for those who survived, they had no leisure to consider these issues. Now they only had one thought left in their minds - when will the Ming army's shelling end?

What disappointed them was that even though they raised the white flag, the Ming army's shelling continued and did not stop because of the rise of the white flag. For the more than 2,000 Dutch people in the city of Jelanzha, they were even desperate in the face of such shelling.

"God, have you really abandoned your people?"

In the broken church, the priest prayed there, beside the benches blown to pieces, there were corpses everywhere, and the smooth floor was wet - that was blood! The blood of the dead.

The shells had no eyes and would not avoid it just because it was a church. For the priest, everything around him was despairing.

As the chief officer, Paul, seeing the white flag did not work, only one thought was left in his mind.

"Does the Ming people not understand what the white flag means?"

This is definitely the case. No, I have to send someone out.

Paul, who was hiding inside the fortress Taiji while the shelling stopped, looked at Dashanyan in front of him and asked.

"Can you explain the Chinese dialect?"

"Yes!"

Dashanyan, dressed in a samurai, answered truthfully.

Although Oyama Isan is a Japanese, he is also a Dutch mercenary.

In fact, they first came here as a escort of merchants. In fact, as early as a century ago, Japanese ship merchants also traded in this sea area. They held a government-issued license for overseas sailing and trade, called Yu Zhuyin, and went to the Ming Dynasty and Southeast Asia for trade.

In many places including Hoi An, Khmer, Siam, Batavia, Manila, etc., small towns where Japanese people gather, similar to the "Chinatown" in Europe and the United States. In the Japanese, they are called Japanese Town, and in the Dayuan Town, there is also a Japanese Town.

However, due to the national lockdown order issued by the Tokugawa shogunate in 1636, it prohibited the Japanese from going to sea to trade and also prohibited the Japanese from returning to Japan. These Japanese towns would eventually die in the long river of history, but now it is the time when the number of Japanese people overseas is the largest. In addition to merchants and sailors, there are many unemployed samurai, namely the masterless ronin, and many fugitives who were oppressed by their belief in Catholicism.

As a ronin, Dashanyan became a Dutch mercenary, like many people, in order to survive, he became a mercenary of the Dutch and attacked the surrounding tribes for the Dutch. Now, Paul thinks of him because he is an Asian.

"You go out of the city to contact He Bin, the Ming Dynasty's left-behind, and let him go out to mediate, and test the bottom line of the Ming Dynasty's ceasefire."

Now, for Paul, the only hope is to let the Ming people stay behind to negotiate, but he did not dare to send other Dutch people to come forward. What if they were killed by the Ming people in Dayuan Town? But the Japanese are very reliable. After all, they are all orphans abandoned by Japan.

Soon, the short Dashanyan slid down the rope and then ran to the official and found him at the "left-behind yamen", which was actually He Bin's home. However, when he met, he was surprised to see that there was an Ming official in the room.

They met so openly that they didn't even have to open themselves. This was either self-confidence or...

I just plotted against you from the beginning!

Chen De smiled at the person in front of him. He Bin mentioned these Japanese people before, all of whom were homeless. They could be used by the Dutch and naturally also by the Ming Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, He Bin, who had come over at Dashanyan, laughed.

Dashanyan came just right!

But for He Bin, the opportunity to come to him was almost the guest around him. He had just said a few words. He had already made the most favorable choice for him.

Resign to that prince.

It’s not because he is unfaithful to the Zheng family, but because the conditions here are too good that people cannot refuse.

Senior magistrate!

This is He Bin's official position! With this position, he can not only glorify his ancestors, but also jump into the dragon gate and become a court official from a commoner.

The future is naturally unlimited. If people do not care for themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth. Moreover, they will all serve the court, so what will the Zheng family and the Zhu family be divided into?

When he was surprised by Dashanyan, he heard He Bin take the initiative to introduce it.

"Mr. Dashan, this Chen joined the army, is the general's mansion of our Ming Dynasty Pinglu."

In an instant, Dashanyan looked around nervously. It was not because he had fallen into the Internet cafe! But he immediately knelt down and kowtowed:

"Go to the country's ronin Dashanyan, pay homage to the Celestial Army!"

Dashanyan, who has been here for more than ten years, speaks Chinese quickly. Chen De smiled and stood up:

"Mr. Dashan, please get up quickly."

After Dashanyan stood up, Chen Deyi looked at the leader of the Japanese mercenary team that He Bin had introduced before and asked.

"Is there anything wrong with Dashanjun coming here?"

Dashanyan answered with great respect and truth:

"The ronin in the lower country was ordered by the commander of the chief, and asked the left-behind master to mediate the dismissal of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom. If the military master agreed, they were willing to offer 10,000 taels of silver as the city redemption gold."

"I don't want silver!"

Chen Deyi's smile restrained,

"Admiral Sun had given them a chance to surrender before, but the Dutch resisted stubbornly. Wherever the heavenly soldiers arrived, those who were in line would be born, and those who were against each other would die. Leave the money for them to buy coffins."

ah!

Dashanyan looked at the Lord of the Heavenly Dynasty in horror.

Do Lord Tianchao want to massacre the city?

It seems that the city must be massacred!

As a down-and-out samurai who lost his Fenglu and left his master's house to wander around, Dashanyan, who once fought for the Lord, is not unfamiliar with the massacre of the city. However, when he was in Japan, the other side he stood was often the one who was slaughtered. If the Lord had not been defeated and died, how could he have wandered around? Thinking of the massacre of the city, Dashanyan immediately worried about the lives of more than 300 Japanese in the city.

As for the lives of the Dutch, it has nothing to do with him. They are just employers. But now the Japanese are also in the city.

Seeing Dashanyan's face turned pale, Chen De smiled and said.

"You don't have to worry. This time we are ordered by the general army to go south to recover this place and expel Heyi. As long as you live well here, you will not drive you away."

"Thank you for not chasing the emperor for not chasing him. The emperor is kind, which really touched the ronin in the lower country, but..."

Dashanyan flattered and said immediately.

"There are nearly 400 Japanese in the city. I don't know what to plan after breaking the city!"

"The Admiral has a first word. People do not stand without trust. They must keep their words. If they say they do not keep their children and dogs, they must keep their children and dogs! Since they are in the city, there is only a dead end!"

Dashanyan was so scared that he sweated on his back. He just kept his words... and was shocked in his heart. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed:

"Please also ask the Admiral to plead with the Admiral and spare their lives!"

Chen Deyi immediately smiled.

"You want to survive?"

Who wants to die?

Dashanyan nodded.

"Mr. Joining the Army, we are all ronin who cannot return to Japan. We live here alone, but it is just to survive. Please spare our lives by the Army."

Then he kowtowed and kowtowed.

"As long as we join the army, we will do our best to serve the Ming Dynasty from now on. Please give us good words to you."

For warriors without their lords, there is never a lot of loyalty. Besides, they are just a group of ordinary people who can help others eliminate disasters. As for loyalty... well, they have not received military pay this month.

Reality is always cruel. In this moment, these "orphans" who were believed by the Dutch to betray, are not only the most favorable choices for them.

Maybe they are just a group of homeless homeless people, but because they are homeless, they are more realistic.

"Save your life..."

Smiled, Chen Deyi said.
