Wang Jia, a fellow villager of the lucky Qiu Fengji, walked down the gangway with his comrades, and there was no discomfort, they did not waste time before the battle, and had already done a lot of adaptive training.

Landing from the pier, the troops were gathering, taking down supplies, and everywhere there was a commotion.

Chen Shi, the company commander of Wang Jia's sixth company, beckoned his soldiers to line up, and all of them were all there, and there was not a single non-combat attrition, and Chen Shi was satisfied with this.

He was no more than 25 years old, a graduate of the Military Academy, a former marine, who was transferred to the Army, and this person had an old age that was not commensurate with his age, and he stood in front of the team without anger and might, mainly because of his will and faith, hard training, and active fighting in war, which created a large number of soldiers like him!

On orders from his superiors, his company advanced outside Banten to control the perimeter with his brothers, then they dug trenches, built parapets with dug earth, and then added further canopies on top to protect them from rain and sun.

They did their work in great heat, and after they had built a trench, they built a fortress out of cement, bricks, wood, iron bars, sand, etc.!

The fort is two stories high, with cannon holes on the second floor and a battlement wall on the top, and small pound cannons are erected.

Outside the fortress, deep moats were dug!

The Southeastern Army was so energetic that a long trench three meters wide and five meters deep quickly surrounded Banten City.

In addition to the necessary vigilance force, the officers and soldiers only have free time, and they all go up to help, and the company commander Chen Shi rolls up his sleeves and personally stirs the sand, and hangs bricks and transports them with the soldiers.

Empty talk misleads the country, but hard work prospers the country!

Large and small transport ships continue to arrive at Banten Pier, unloading a large number of people and supplies.

In addition to the transport ships of the Southeast Fleet, there are also civil ships of the Southeast Prefecture, the mainland and the Hongmaofan.

The merchant ships of the Portuguese, British, and Spanish helped the Southeastern Army to transport supplies, including the merchant ships of the Dutch, and in the three general battles between the Southeast Province and the Dutch, there were about a dozen Dutch merchant ships leading the water of the Southeast Province to do business, and did not participate in the war on both sides, and after the battle, they still served the Southeast Army and were not discriminated against.

In addition to the help of the soldiers, there were also migrant workers and tame natives, who unloaded a large number of building materials, guns and ammunition, military supplies, food, etc., and with fanatical enthusiasm for their work, they immediately turned Banten City into a fortress, and at the same time, all the people lived in houses instead of tents as quickly as possible, without the suffering of sun and rain, many places were renovated according to mosquito prevention measures, and they also built a water plant to supply.

The logistics department did a lot of work to get the officers and men of the army to eat hot meals and clean water, and oh, and brought in a hundred indigenous women who were responsible for cleaning the streets!

At night, everywhere is brightly lit and the security is heavy, what do you think the logistics are doing? They brought in flocks of geese, geese are very alert, the habit of geese is to encounter unfamiliar animals and people will immediately scream the alarm and make a fluttering and pecking posture. At night, when there is a bit of movement, they can provide an alert, and the police geese raised in the logistics are tall, long-necked, biting, and have a very keen sense of hearing, and they will immediately scream at the slightest danger to alert the patrol sentry.

The Goose Army, along with the Yellow Dogs, plus sentries, was used to prevent enemy night attacks.

After taking control of the periphery, the Southeastern Army entered Banten City and found that the city was almost completely populated, leaving only thousands of indigenous elderly people.

Unceremoniously expelled all the indigenous elders from the city!

The Southeast Army has three principles for the territory it occupies:

One is that the natives surrender, then let the other party live, we didn't kill those natives, let them go, of course, the young and middle-aged are willing to serve us, that is acceptable, but not double-minded;

The second is to kill the natives if they resist.

The third is active immigration, all of whom are Chinese, and have more children, which is the most important means to control the territory!

……

After the Southeastern Army took control of Banten City, they quickly built the city as strong as golden soup, and then they stayed in a room with a screen window and drank tea!

"Why do you want to fight, isn't it good to sit and drink tea first?" Governor Chen Dehao took a good time to speak.

This is not a "slow shot" tactic, but it makes the Banten warriors who have been waiting outside the city dumbfounded!

They had never seen the role of "cement", and they never dreamed that the Southeastern Army would give up one in less than a week

They stay outside the city and are exposed to the sun and rain, bitten by mosquitoes until they fly, even if they are used to it, they can't stand it, they eat cold food, drink raw water, and there are supplies at present, after all, it is not a long-term solution.

Even more trouble, they have lost the royal capital and given it to the enemy, and in time, the Banten royal court will lose serious points politically!

Your royal capital has been lost, and the legitimacy of your rule will be seriously doubted by your people!

Sensing the gravity of the matter, Ali Khalid began to organize the assault on New Banten.

After they hid in the woods and gathered, they attacked in multiple places at the same time!

The people of Bandan, who were carrying ladders, rushed to New Banten City with a shout, and immediately encountered a head-on attack from the Southeast Army!

At first the muskets fired in a sparse salvo, but as they swarmed in front of the trenches, the small cannons on the battlements fired shotguns, and the shotguns were all over the sky, and the shots were all over the sky, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere!

The Bandan people roared wildly and were knocked to the ground, the dying wounded soldiers groaned loudly in despair, muskets burst out, and the crowd in front of them instantly collapsed and fled in all directions.

They used "cloth clothes" to meet bullets, especially shotguns, lead and iron sand like an iron brush, swept through the Banten people, and the people who were hit by the key were killed, and the wounded did not die thought that they had escaped, but in the following days, many of the wounded had a high fever and talked nonsense, and finally died of infection.

Less than two hundred people died in the attack, and more than five hundred died from wounds!

Legend has it that the bullets and projectiles of the Chinese were cursed by their gods, so the Banten people call these bullets and projectiles "magic bullets" in awe! ”

This incident made Mazu Niangniang really ridiculous, her old man is a merciful god!

……

After this battle, the morale of the Banten people became very low and they were unable to organize an attack, and the Southeast Army did not intend to let them go, and the Southeast Fleet bombarded the cities of the Banten Kingdom around the west coast of Java Island, destroying the towns and ports along the way, burning ships, and going ashore to plunder people and supplies!

Everywhere they went, the Banten people could not resist at all, and let them be plundered.

At the same time, the Southeast Fleet blocked the Sunda Strait, completely severing the connection between the island of Java and Sumatra in the Kingdom of Banten, and what the Banten monarchs and ministers feared finally happened!

After the cities on the island of Sumatra heard the rumors spread by the Banten people who were deliberately put ashore by the Southeast Army, saying that the royal capital had fallen and the whereabouts of Sudan were unknown, three new Sudans suddenly appeared, claiming to be the heirs of the Banten Kingdom!

Before the Southeast Army came, there was a scuffle between the three Sudans, and there was no time to cross the Sunda Strait to aid the old royal court, so the time was ripe for the Southeast Army to encircle and suppress the old royal court!
