Of the forty-five fishermen, not one was perfect.

This once again ignited the anger in his heart.

"Come on, kill all these Dutchmen!"

"Pull up those bodies from the sea and chop off their heads!"

"On this dock!"

"Build a Jingguan!"

Chapter 168 "I have issued an imperial decree to ban the sea, you should understand what I mean!

As soon as the three words "Build Jingguan" were uttered, everyone present widened their eyes.

Only Basil looked confused.

"What is Jingguan?"

He looked at Zheng Zhilong and asked in confusion.

Zheng Zhilong glanced at him and said with a chuckle, "Just stay still and don't piss yourself later!"

He then sent some of his men to row small boats to salvage the bodies of the Dutch who had fallen into the water near the harbor.

Another group of people raised their long swords and walked towards the Dutch soldiers.

The Dutch Governor Peter Neuze had his hands tied behind his back and was kneeling in the crowd. He stared at Basil with angry eyes and kept shouting and cursing.

When I saw these people walking towards me with knives in their hands, I suddenly felt an ominous premonition in my heart.

"Crack!"

One soldier had his head chopped off before he could understand what was happening.

Then, it was the others.

Heads fell to the ground one by one. Zhen Beiwang and his men picked up the fallen heads. After looking around, they chose a flat ground about a hundred feet away from the shore.

"That's it, so we don't get swept into the sea by the rising tide."

Having said that, he took the lead and walked towards that location.

The Dutch heads were piled together, and their stunned, frightened, and distorted faces looked particularly terrifying.

How could Peter Nuys not understand at this moment what kind of outcome was waiting for him?

He struggled and cried out loudly.

"Don't kill me, spare me..."

"I have gold! Lots and lots of gold!"

"All for you!"

"And slaves, all for you!"

"Please, don't kill me..."

But at this moment, only Basil could understand what he was saying.

But basil......

However, he was so frightened by the mountain of human heads that kept piling up higher and higher that his eyes rolled back and he fainted!

Zhu Youxiao was actually afraid too!

But when he turned his attention to the fishermen again, his fear turned into relief.

He walked slowly up to the fishermen and bowed deeply to them.

"I'm sorry, I'm late!"

When the fishermen saw this, their eyes widened instantly.

Those Jingguan temples didn't scare them, they only hated the Dutch.

But Zhu Youxiao's bow frightened them.

An older man in the crowd knelt down on the spot and kowtowed three times.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not, absolutely not!"

"How can a humble person like me deserve such a gift from you!"

The others also reacted instantly, kneeling down and kowtowed.

Shi Bangyao and You Tong were following behind Zhu Youxiao. After seeing this scene, they looked at each other at the same time.

Then, Shi Bangyao's eyes turned red.

Yutong took out a small notebook and wrote crookedly on it with his injured arm.

Zheng Zhihu moved closer to Zheng Zhilong and asked in a low voice.

"Brother, since these fishermen are alive, do the compensations that His Majesty mentioned earlier still count?"

Zheng Zhilong glared at him and said, "You ask me, who should I ask?"

Zheng Zhihu touched his nose awkwardly and didn't ask any more questions.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao was also considering this issue.

The pensions and other things have already been distributed. If they are taken back, it would be disheartening.

But if we don’t take it back, I’m afraid someone will take advantage of it in the future.

This is very embarrassing!

You can also send a son to Jinshanso, which will provide a certain amount of supplies every month, tax exemption, support for the elderly and children, and other benefits.

Now that they have come back alive, why should the court provide for them?

But after hearing the fishermen's sincere thanks, he soon felt relieved.

Forget it!

I am the emperor. How can I take back my words when I spit?

Although the spoils of this battle have not been counted yet, Zhu Youxiao believes that they are enough to support not only dozens of fishermen, but even hundreds of them!

With the Jinyiwei present, it was naturally not anyone else's turn to count the Dutch's property.

Taking advantage of the night, they held torches and searched the city thoroughly inside and outside.

Half an hour later, Sun Kangwang handed a list to Zhu Youxiao.

"Your Majesty, the search of Fort Zeelandia has been completed."

"A total of 173,000 taels of silver and 21,000 taels of gold were seized."

"There are also 500 dan of raw silk and 1,200 dan of grain!"

"Three hundred stones of sugar, seven hundred pieces of silk!"

"Five dou of pearls, two boxes of agate, and one hundred and thirty pieces of jades of all sizes!"

"There are also 1,750 pieces of various porcelains!"

Zhu Youxiao looked towards Basil in surprise: "This little red-haired guy's men are quite well-behaved. No one stole anything."

Sun Kangwang laughed and said, "Your Majesty, what you said is true. Even if you give them ten times the courage, they would not dare to steal things under our noses!"

Zhu Youxiao thought about it and realized that compared with the huge profits from Ming Dynasty's trade, this amount of money was nothing. Basil obviously knew this as well.

With the last blow of the sword, the head of the Dutch Governor was placed at the highest point of the Jingguan, and the battle of Fort Zeelandia was completely over.

After taking a look at the finally completed Jingguan, Zhu Youxiao got goose bumps all over his body.

He spoke to Shi Bangyao in an unnatural voice.

"I say, remember, and erect a monument under this Jingguan later!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Bangyao immediately had someone bring him pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and made preparations under the light of torches.

Zhu Youxiao put his hands behind his back, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, looked at the Jingguan, and spoke word by word.

"My people are as precious as gold!"

"The land of our Ming Dynasty is priceless in the world!"

"If anyone dares to violate this rule, he will be punished no matter how far away he is!"

"In the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor will personally establish the throne!"

Qi Bangyao's hands were shaking as he wrote these words.

He was originally a civil servant, but he also engaged in military affairs.

He had done a lot of work to suppress bandits and even formed a cavalry unit in order to hunt down the Japanese pirates who came ashore as quickly as possible.

At this moment, Zhu Youxiao's words made his blood boil.

How long has it been since Ming Dynasty had an emperor who was good at military affairs?!

He is writing.

Yutong also wrote down these words in a notebook.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao just smiled and didn't say much.

Then he called Zheng Zhilong to his side.

"Send two thousand men to Chikan City and make sure not a single one escapes!"

"Yes!"

After Zheng Zhilong passed on the order, he asked someone to prepare dinner.

However, Zhu Youxiao had no appetite, so he asked Youtong to find him a large cabbage and started to eat it.

While eating, he continued to explain.

"It won't take a few days for Chikan City to arrive. As for the Spaniards, once the ships are delivered, we'll have them leave the island immediately."

"In this way, Taiwan will return to the hands of our Ming Dynasty."

"Tamsui was changed to Taipei Prefecture, this place was changed to Tainan Prefecture, Penghu was also set up as a prefecture, and Taichung was set up as the seat of Taiwan's government."

"From now on, the southeast of Ming Dynasty will be handed over to you and Zhu Yifeng."

"Run your business carefully, don't let others take advantage of you!"

"As for the place to trade with the Spanish, we can choose a larger island in Penghu. The location must be within the coverage of our Ming Dynasty's artillery to prevent the Spanish from having any evil intentions."

"Also, the goods from the Ming Dynasty must be handled by you, and not by anyone else."

"I have issued an imperial decree to ban the sea, you should understand what I mean!"

"If those pedants find evidence against me, I will start with you!"

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he shuddered and said in a decisive tone, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I know the pros and cons of this."

Subsequently, Zheng Zhifeng was appointed as the commander of Tainan.

The next morning, Zhu Youxiao left the confiscated goods behind and led the fleet towards Macau.

He really wanted to know which spendthrift had signed the lease agreement with the Portuguese!

Chapter 169 Falling Sick

At this time, most ships were sailing within the continental shelf.

To travel from Tainan to Macau, you need to go to Zhangzhou first and then drive along the coastline.

When those fishermen who were identified as killed appeared in Yuegang, the fishermen who were busy fishing at sea rubbed their eyes subconsciously.

Then they rushed over here, exclaiming as they ran.

"Pancake, are you still alive?"

"Second child, is it really you?"
