Instead of launching a general attack, Hong Xuguan sent the battleships to attack the batteries in batches.

Similarly, the 2nd Marine Division commanded by Yan Le did not have a general attack, and the regiments took turns to fight the city.

The Navy and the Marine Corps practiced tactics in actual combat, constantly attacked, and consumed the firepower and manpower of Hongmaofan, while the supply of the Southeast Army was almost unlimited!

The benefits of the active economic development of the Southeast Province have been fully revealed, and the firepower of the battle has never diminished.

The wounded were well received in a timely manner, and morale was always high!

The Governor of Malacca, Alonso, personally took the scene and encouraged the officers and soldiers to resist the Chinese.

And the Malays who helped the war fought side by side with the red-haired fan, and they were even more active than the red-haired fan!

I have to say that the words of the red hairy fan reached their hearts.

The Malays knew that wherever the Chinese went, except for the princely state of Johor, who was lucky, could keep their religion (Johor once fought with the Chinese in Aceh, and the Chinese kept them as "embellishments"), the rest of the Bumiputera died and were exiled, even if they were not touched for the time being, and would soon succumb to the heavy taxes of the Chinese.

The southeast government levies a poll tax in its jurisdiction!

The Chinese people do not have to pay this tax, and the government manages the Chinese through the "household registration book", and those who have a household registration book do not need to pay the tax, while people of other nationalities have to pay it, as long as they live in the jurisdiction of the southeast province for more than half a year, they have to pay the poll tax.

Therefore, the merchants who run the business should pay attention to this time, and if it is not necessary, do not stay for more than half a year.

Those who believe in Mazu Niangniang can be exempted from tax (after many years) or pay less tax (depending on the length of time they have been cultivating), while other ethnic groups can believe in anything, but religion is not allowed to go out of the temple, and the establishment of new religious sites must be approved (very difficult) and taxes must be paid!

It's not a new thing, it's like what the Arabs did to the people when they conquered the four borders, believing in their religion is exempt from taxes, and if you don't believe in it, you pay taxes.

If you can't pay taxes, you must accept forced labor to pay taxes with your income!

The government said: "Since you don't pay the poll tax on time, BS is our government, so the punishment is five times!" ”

So the guys were miserable.

If you can't pay taxes for three years, you will seriously BS our government, then you will become a slave!

Uh-huh, rebellion?

In those days, there were no human rights, and the nine tribes were punished if they rebelled, and under the guidance of the leader, the Chinese were not soft at all in killing people.

Among the ethnic groups other than the Chinese, only two categories of people are exempt from taxes.

First, the ethnic groups influenced by the Chinese cultural circle, such as the Chinese Minor Followers, such as the Waguo, Korea, Ryukyu, and Annam, as long as they believe in Buddhism and Taoism, can be exempted from tax if they have no faith.

The second is the Indian Ah San, the leaders look at them differently, so there are many Ah Sans who have obtained visas to work in Southeast Asia, but their visas expire and they must leave and must not stay, and their naturalization is also very difficult, unlike the Chinese small followers who have a certain "naturalization index" every year.

There are also red hair fan, although they have to pay taxes, but they are also easier to naturalize, the Chinese absorb the young red hair fan and the knowledgeable, have made contributions to the naturalization, the priority is to believe in Mazu Niangniang's red hair fan.

The Chinese practice had already spread to the city of Malacca, causing the Malays to become the mainstay of resistance to the Chinese!

In addition to participating in the defense, sometimes when the Chinese attack is fierce, the red-haired fan organization is armed with machetes or spears, and the Malays with shields carry out a counter-charge!

"Kill!" The Malays' eyes flashed with fanatical light, chanting religious slogans, and brazenly slaughtered the Chinese.

At one point, the Chinese broke through the wall and fought with the defenders, with the Malays rushing forward, their spears stabbing like thorns, and the marines' muskets with spears were not as long as their spears, and they were a little difficult to resist.

Hongmaofan shot in the back of the Malays and shot the Chinese.

The Chinese also fired, but the Malays followed one after another, and they could not fall down after being shot, and they could not get out of the line of fire if they were slightly wounded!

Blood splattered, shouting and screaming, seeing this, Yan Le didn't want to fight too badly, and ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

The initiative is in our hands, the enemy has no foreign aid, and time is not in a hurry, and the lives of soldiers cannot be exchanged for victory.

The Malays who killed the red eyes cut off the heads of the two captured Chinese wounded on the city wall!

The sword fell in his hand, the head fell into the city, and the fate of the Malays was doomed!

"That's what happened to you when you messed with us!" The Malays shouted.

Yan Le and other senior officers who saw this scene from the telescope turned pale!

The news was reported to Hong Xuguan, who was furious: "Okay, you Malays have made a big deal, and you have succeeded in provoking me!" ”

He immediately ordered the naval guns to land, towed a shipload of battleship's heavy guns for logistical supplies to the shore, and then drew gunners from each ship to assist the marines.

"Don't be stingy with shells, hit labor and management hard!" He commanded.

The sappers and migrant workers were so energetic that they built improvised docks, pulled the cannons to the shore with cranes, built concrete roads, and dragged the cannons to the front line with donkey carts.

Work day and night, full of energy, bright lights, red hair frightened, Malays are afraid!

Nearly 200 32-pounder, 24-pounder, and 18-pounder guns were stationed in the gun emplacement, surrounding the city of Malacca, and bombarding the city!

All day long, the cannon roared, and the shells kept hitting the city!

At the same time, the Chinese workers urgently built trebuchets, first light human trebuchets, to drop bombs into the city! Drop firebombs into the city!

Then we started to build heavy counterweight trebuchets with a longer range and more power.

The fire bomb dragged a long black smoke into the city, and when it hit the ground, it set off a series of fires and burned.

The bomb exploded on the ground, and the iron nails and steel balls burst out, and the people within the killing radius were drenched in blood, and the unlucky ones were even blinded.

The shells crashed into buildings and killed people!

In accordance with the leader's instructions, the Southeast Army developed the technology of trebuchets, but in Southeast Asia, due to the large number of artillery, officers looked down on cumbersome trebuchets, after all, direct firearms were easy to use, and it also involved the competition for military expenditures, and did not equip trebuchets.

Under the emergency situation, everything must be used, and the Southeast Army uses various means to attack the city of Malacca.

They were not in a hurry to attack, and patronized the siege of the city, constantly firing artillery and throwing bombs.

Accustomed to stone construction, their dwellings and barracks were mostly made of brick and stone, which was not easy to catch fire and was difficult to destroy by bombs and shells.

The Malays, on the other hand, live in wooden or thatched huts, and in the middle of the night they catch fire, and every street burns up.

Burn out the supplies, life is in dire straits.

Burn to death, burn and wait to die.

As the Chinese siege grew, there was a shortage of food in the city.

The Malays have never been the kind of people who accumulate grain to prevent hunger, and there is food in the forests of the tropics and a lot of food in the sea, so they did not worry about food before.

He was besieged and could not go out, and there was no food.

The Red-haired Fans had food in stock, but it was more likely that they would share it with the Malays when the sun rose in the west.

The Malays starved to death due to lack of food.

The wounded had a fever and died of illness.

The corpses were piled up in the city, and the garbage and rice fields could not be transported, and the stench emitted was not only enough to choke, but also caused a plague!

In the past, there were many Chinese in the city of Malacca, and they were equal to the "middle level" in an institution, leading the Malays to work, and the city of Malacca was quite clean.

Now that there is no middle level, the red hairy fan knows nothing about health and epidemic prevention, their Paris is still a city of and urine, while the Malays are seven tricks and six tricks, and they are used to hanging and drenching water together at the foot of the street wall, everything is piled up together, and the city of Malacca is unbearable!
