The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 331 The Sheep Leading Ceremony
Raymond didn't have time to rest, and returned to the city of Batavia without stopping.

Not long after Raymond entered the city, the Dutch at the head of Batavia began to swarm and scramble to surrender.

They threw away the weapons in their hands, raised their hands high, and surrendered to the Ming army!
The Ming army at the head of the city of Batavia also received orders and began to receive prisoners of war.

The Dutch tricolor flag fluttering high above the bastion was lowered and replaced by the twelve-pointed sun and moon flag of Ming Dynasty!

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Long live the Ming Dynasty, long live His Royal Highness Jian Guo!"

"Long live Daming, long live His Royal Highness Jian Guo!"

"..."

Seeing that the city of Batavia changed hands, the Ming army inside and outside the city cheered in unison.

The morale of the army is boiling!

The leaders of the rebel army who came to watch the battle even flattered them one after another.

"His Royal Highness Jian Guo has accomplished martial virtues in writing, and he is actually the Holy Lord of the Ming Dynasty!"

"I will be invincible in the army tomorrow, and sooner or later I will be able to drive out the Tartars and restore China!"

"A mere red hair, don't dare to stroke my tiger's beard, my heavenly soldiers will go out to destroy this dynasty!"

"With His Royal Highness Jian Guo here, my Ming Dynasty will definitely be revitalized again!"

"..."

Maybe other people don't know how difficult Batavia City is to attack, but they do.

After the Dutch established their foothold in Batavia, they often went to war with the surrounding natives.

Such as Banten Sultanate, Matalam Sultanate, etc.!

These indigenous sultanates once relied on their own military strength to fight against the city of Batavia!
But without exception, facing Batavia's bastion, they all had their heads full after paying an extremely heavy price.

There were countless casualties, and they failed to really threaten the rule of the Dutch!

But this strong bastion looked so vulnerable in front of Master Daming!
A sense of pride as the people of the heavenly kingdom permeated their hearts!

If you want to beat Hongmao, you have to look at my Celestial Master!
And, what amazes them even more is that Daming Wude is abundant today!

They are now on the ship of Daming, and when His Royal Highness Jian Guo succeeds in the Northern Expedition in the future and rebuilds Daming, they might be able to do something like Dragon Achievement...

That would really be the glory of the ancestors!

Zhu Hongyu just sat on the chair, nodded slightly, looked around, and said.

"From today, Batavia will be renamed Fuyuan City!"

"The imperial court will set up the Nandu Protectorate here, and set up various prefectures and counties to divide and rule!"

"Check out Dingkou, clear up the acres of land, create a yellow book of fish scales, and set up local officials to control it!"

All the people around agreed in unison.

The local power faction represented by Liu Chuan has no opinion on how Daming intends to govern Batavia.

As long as Daming is willing to give them official positions, it won't harm their fundamental interests!
They will fully support the rule of Ming Dynasty!
……

In the 17th year of the Yongli calendar, on the seventh day of March, it is sunny!

The city gate of Batavia creaked open, and the surrender ceremony officially began.

Soldiers of the Ming army were wearing armor, standing on both sides of the road, with firm eyes!

The sun shines from the east, dazzling!
Armored swords and guns shone coldly, and a wave of power came over the face!

Governor Lobe led a sheep, surrounded by a group of high-level executives of the Dutch East India Company in Batavia, and slowly walked out of the city.

There are men and women, old and young, but most of them have sad looks on their faces.

Beside them, there are Ming army soldiers watching to prevent chaos.

Zhu Hongyu strode down the high platform, and the surrounding guards subconsciously surrounded him, surrounding him in the very center.

A series of eager or admiring eyes gathered on Zhu Hongyu.

The golden armor on his body reflected the glare of the sun, and the scarlet cloak spread out behind him, making Zhu Hongyu more and more heroic, like a fairy descending from the earth.

Not long after, the governor of the Dutch, Lobe, and others were brought before Zhu Hongyu.

Luo Bei knelt down on one knee in front of Zhu Hongyu, and then spoke.

"A small country outside the region, who doesn't know Wang Hua, dares to resist Wang Shi, it is a crime worthy of death!"

"Today I wake up and offer soil to come down. I hope the heavenly soldiers of the kingdom will love and pity me, and let the past not be blamed!"

Zhu Hongyu stretched out his hand to support Luo Bei, and returned to comfort him.

"It's not too late to repent!"

"The celestial dynasty has its own celestial style, and it pays attention to convincing people with virtue. Since you have already offered soil to surrender, how can you blame me!"

With a smile on Luo Bei's face, he spoke.

"Ashamed!"

"From now on, people like us from other countries can also bathe in the king's transformation and feel the grace of the gods. It is really a great blessing!"

During the speech, Lobe presented the seal representing the power of the Dutch East India Company in Batavia.

He even signed and stamped a document of surrender!

After finishing these, Zhu Hongyu said.

"Let's go to the camp. The governor of Luobei is a man who knows the current affairs. I just want to have a few drinks with the governor!"

Although Luo Bei's face was not very good-looking, he forced it out and said with a smile.

"Listen to Your Majesty the Prince!"

After finishing speaking, under the leadership of Zhu Hongyu, he headed towards the camp of the Ming army.

Zhu Hongyu walked in front, walking steadily, as if he suddenly thought of something, he turned his head and asked.

"Why did Governor Luobei lead a sheep out of the city?"

Zhu Hongyu was very curious. He didn't remember that the Dutch had the habit of leading a sheep to express their surrender!

Luo Bei opened his mouth and replied.

"The people of Fanbang admire Wang Hua. They have studied Sinology intensively in the past. They heard that there is a sheep-raising ceremony in the Celestial Dynasty. It is used to show respect when surrendering..."

Luo Bei's complexion is not very good-looking, he thinks it is impossible for Zhu Hongyu not to know about this, and asking now knowingly, isn't it humiliating him? !

Luo Bei never thought that when Zhu Hongyu heard the words, there was no sneering expression on his face, but a little astonishment.

More importantly, that expression is not fake at first glance!

"Governor Luobei, the goat-pulling ceremony of my dynasty is not the same as the goat-pulling ceremony you understand..."

In Luobei's understanding, the ceremony of leading the sheep is to lead the sheep out to surrender.

But the real sheep-raising ceremony is actually leading people like sheep!

The most famous examples in history are Song Qinzong and Song Huizong.

Undressed, wrapped in a layer of sheepskin, was led by the little brother to surrender to the golden man...

It can be described as humiliating to the extreme!
In any case, Luo Bei voluntarily surrendered, and on behalf of the East India Company, he opened up the trade on the east coast of India to Daming.

If Zhu Hongyu humiliated Luo Bei like this, he would have crossed the line.

But thinking about the goat-raising ceremony, Zhu Hongyu started thinking about it. When he regains the Central Plains and goes to the capital in the future, it would be good to let Kang Mazi do the goat-raising ceremony again...

Zhu Hongyu explained to Luo Bei what the sheep-raising ceremony is. After Luo Bei's face turned blue and white, he patted Luo Bei's shoulder and said.

"Governor, don't worry, I won't humiliate the governor like this!"

Zhu Hongyu thinks, sometimes you are not afraid that you don't understand at all, pretend to understand, or half a bucket of water is dangling, it is really embarrassing...

After Zhu Hongyu finished speaking, Luo Bei's expression relaxed.

Suddenly, Zhu Hongyu caught a glimpse of a Dutch girl in the crowd.

She has soft curly red hair, fair skin, delicate features, and a little bit of freckles on her cheeks, which are not very obvious, but faintly visible, but it adds a little cuteness.

But the most eye-catching thing is her pair of human cub breastfeeders...

The size is amazing!

At this moment, Zhu Hongyu suddenly had the idea of ​​learning a foreign language.

I eat a lot of Chinese food, and occasionally have a Western meal for a change of taste, which is quite a way to adjust my life...
