The successive explosions made the Dutch suffer thoroughly, and Yan Chang stood on the bulwark on the right side of the Dutch ship, shouting like a madman: "Throw me ...... Lose...... Lose! ”

The grenadiers acted according to his command, and the Dutch were miserable, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the Southeastern Army, under the leadership of Hong Xiguan, launched a new round of attacks and attacked the bow tower of the Dutch ship.

Officer Hong Xi led the charge, a group of people followed, and there were three guards who did not shoot or kill the enemy, and specially loaded him with musket bullets, after all, the effect of killing people and others killing people is different.

He has a long sword and a high sword, and a short spear is deadly,

Compared with the gun, Hong Xiguan prefers to use a sword, he likes the feeling of cutting flesh with a sword, his sword is specially made, the sword body is heavy, very sharp, can cut off people's heads, at this time he is fighting with a soldier, too hard, stuck into the opponent's bones, the sword stuck into the opponent's bones, he stepped on the opponent with one foot and couldn't pull it out, so someone brought him a knife, but it was the Dutch officer's just now, Hong Xiguan took it without thinking, and swung the knife up.

There was an inhuman roar from the bowhouse, the attack was in full swing, both sides were fighting desperately, fighting together, hoarse shouts and killing came and went, the morale of the southeast army was like a rainbow, they stabbed the formation with guns in front, guns in the back, like a wall in, although the Dutch generally had a high level of individual combat, but the opponent stabbed several thorns together, it was also difficult to stop, not to mention the guns flying everywhere in the air.

The Dutch (including the authentic Dutch, but also the Itali, the British, the Germans, the Danes, the Swedes, the Russians, and the other mess, collectively known as the Red Maofan, and some natives with knives, but almost all of them hid behind), were killed and trampled backwards, huddled together, and the officers among them shouted in vain, trying to organize the ranks and reorganize the attack.

The problem is that they are very unlucky, Captain Herbert is busy, but something falls in front of him, he subconsciously hugs it, only feels very conscious, and when he looks at it, it is a big bomb with the slightest sound...... Rumble!

Hong Xiguan rushed in front, and finally put down a red-haired fan who was a head taller than him, and rushed forward three steps, only to find that the weapons in the hands of those red-haired fans hung down, and seemed to have lost their fighting spirit, or panicked, or indifferent, among them, a charred black and inhuman-shaped guy fell in a pool of blood, and there was no movement, and the red-haired fans all looked at that guy.

Song, a Chinese shipowner who could speak Dutch, didn't know where to come out, and said in Dutch to Hongmaofan: "Your captain is dead, surrender, we are civilized people, promise not to kill you!" ”

This guy is talented, and it was replayed in English, Italian, English, German, and Aboriginal languages, and the crew gave in, and a man who looked like a senior officer took the captain's sword and handed it to Hong Xiguan.

Song, the owner of the ship, asked, "What kind of cargo is your ship carrying?" ”

The officer whispered, "Silver dollars!" ”

"What?!"

……

Five minutes later, in the bilge of the "Holland Province", Hong Xiguan looked at the open box in front of him, and the Spanish silver dollars inside shimmered in the light of the torches.

It's the cutest little thing in the world, only their brothers----- gold coins are cuter than them.

"Thirty-six thousand silver dollars, the spice money given to Manila by the Dutch East India Company!" Ship owner Song licked his lips and said.

"Great!" Hong Xiguan said: "Immediately organize people to move the silver dollar over Kaohsiung No. 8!" ”

The Southeast Army, which was full of great enthusiasm, with the help of some volunteer crew members of the "Holland Province", quickly passed the silver box and carried it to the bilge of Kaohsiung No. 8

They lined up in a hot line, quickly emptied the silver box, and then the general crew of the "Holland Province" was escorted to the gun deck, while the officers were left on the open deck.

When the deck was emptied, the dead and wounded crew members were revealed, and there were many dead and wounded in the middle of the ship, and there were more in the bow, and the deck was stained with blood everywhere, giving off a terrible smell of blood.

The dead bodies were wrapped, added with heavy objects, thrown into the sea, probably disposed of nearly 200 corpses, this battle killed and wounded more than 200 crew members, and Kaohsiung No. 8 also had 50 casualties, but only 12 people died, the reason for this is that strong firepower and effective protection are the decisive factors.

Hong Xiguan inspected the "Holland Province", the condition of the ship is a bit miserable, but it is still feasible, and it can still sail after repairs.

He was groaning when he was told that he had found a ship in the north.

Hong Xiguan immediately raised his binoculars to observe, and found that the incoming ship was a three-masted plywood ship, which was still far away, and what he saw in the mirror was a ship-shaped, and the details were indistinguishable.

After thinking about it for a while, he immediately ordered a total of 28 officers and men of the "Holland Province" and those who looked more vicious to be taken to Kaohsiung No. 8 for custody, and then recruited some of the crew members of the "Holland Province" to operate the ship under the supervision of the officers and men of Kaohsiung No. 8.

Still flying the British flag, the Kaohsiung 8 and the "Holland Province" sailed diagonally to the southwest (towards the Strait of Malacca) until dark, then turned southeast and continued to take the eastern route (the eastern archipelago, the western route is the mainland Annam and Guangdong Province) to return home.

The captives were closely monitored, and their fears proved unfounded, and the captives did not resist because they were frustrated that the other party still had a boat with them.

The two ships rushed all the way, day and night, and actually let them catch up with the large army when they were about to return to Taiwan at the end of their voyage at sea, and reported the situation, which immediately caused a sensation in the fleet!

……

In the port of Batavia, Governor Speke received bad news that a dhow Dutch cargo ship called "Antilla" reported that it suspected that the "Dutch Province" had been robbed by the British!

Governor Speke was astonished, knowing that the "Dutch Province" had sent valuable spices to Manila to trade, and that when he returned, he had brought back silver dollars, and if he had been robbed, he would have suffered heavy losses and would have been difficult to account for to the East India Company.

He personally talked to the captain of the "Antila", and the captain said that the "Holland Province" caught up with their ship for about half a day, but when they reached the sea ahead, they found a ship under the British flag and the "Holland Province" heading southwest.

Communicating by sea was difficult, and Governor Speke sent ships to search for them without success, and asked the Portuguese side in the Strait of Malacca, saying that they had not seen the British ship and the "Holland Province"

But it is difficult to say whether the two ships crossed the strait, after all, it is impossible to see the night passing.

Go ask the British, of course the British deny it!

Tens of thousands of silver dollars were missing, and Governor Speke thought that the British and the southeast province were very suspicious, and the British were the most suspicious, so he had to report to the country that it might be the British who did it, after all, the Hongmao Fan maritime powers, as long as possible, it was a matter of minutes for seafarers to become pirates......

The Dutch East India Company can be described as a bad year, the Ming people hit the door, the Dutch side did not achieve good results, although it was not defeated in the face-to-face hard P, but the other party was just a new combination for a few years!

It was even more troubled by the Ming warship Batavia, the largest warship (in fact, it was an armed merchant ship) Poseidon was bombed, and a battleship was sunk, and the unfortunate "Ulisi Marsh" was hit by his own family and sank by detonating the powder magazine, but the report cannot be written like this, it can only be said to be sunk.

53,000 silver dollars were robbed, and the "Holland Province" was captured, and it has not been seen to this day! (Didn't you say earlier that you robbed 36,000 silver dollars?) The report is 53,000 silver dollars, everyone understands)

Governor Speke after much deliberation, the British gloriously lay their guns, all to blame on the British!

It was the British who sold battleships and cannons to the Southeastern Province;

It was the British who sent important shipbuilding core technologies to the Southeast Province;

It's the British, and they also sent instructors to teach the southeast province to fight!

They completely armed the Ming people for the million-dollar sugar business, as well as the silk, porcelain and tea business, all of which were extremely prosperous!

With their support, the Ming deliberately made enemies of the Dutch, causing the East India Company to suffer a major crisis!

The British also hijacked the "Dutch Province", someone has a certificate!

A little guy in the southeast province knocked out the old Dutchman? It's too humiliating, so the British gloriously lie down their guns!

He sent the report to the Netherlands, and to a certain extent, detonated the first Dutch-British naval battle in advance!
