Seeing that the Luzon army seemed to have the intention of relying on artillery to defeat Geranza, Bolger and others no longer had the mentality of white Europeans looking down on other peoples.

In fact, since the Age of Discovery, white Europeans have always regarded other peoples as inferior.

Even in China, although the European countries that arrived in East Asia had to regard the Ming Dynasty as a powerful opponent because of its vast land and large population, and affirmed and recognized the Chinese civilization, in their bones, the Europeans still sincerely contempt the yellow race.

This idea is rooted in the teachings of Catholicism and Christianity, since both Catholicism and Christianity regard faith in Jehovah as a more noble race, and the other pagans are rightfully inferior to the inferior class.

This, combined with the fact that the indigenous peoples of all parts of the world have never won an overwhelming victory over Europeans, has fostered this racist sentiment among the white skins of Europe.

But today, the Luzon people have told the Dutch that there is no such thing as bullshit, and that you are just lucky.

"Quick, let our fleet attack, notify Chichicheng, and send all the warships within the Taijiang River."

A twenty-pound cannonball roared and struck the walls of the city of Geranza, instantly cutting off a large stone, and Bolger immediately came to his senses, his eyes widened and he shouted frantically.

The city has a three-tiered structure, which allows it to give full play to its firepower advantage in the face of enemy forces, but when it is bombarded by powerful naval artillery on the sea, this three-story structure is also vulnerable to great damage.

Due to the fixed target firing, it took only a quarter of an hour for the Luzon fleet to complete the calibration of the gun positions of the entire ship.

A quarter of an hour later, every salvo of a total of 840 guns on the side of the fleet accurately bombarded every corner of the city of Geranza.

By the time the Dutch fleet left the harbor again, the entire western walls of the city of Geranza, as well as the interior of the castle, had been ravaged and in shambles.

Cries and cries for help resounded over the city of Geranza.

"52 degrees northeast direction, Dutch fleet, 18 warships."

There are seven islands connected to each other on the southwest side of the Taijiang River, which are called Qikun, but among the seven estuaries to the sea, only the southern channel Dayuan channel in the south and the northern channel Luermen channel in the north can pass large ships.

Twenty years later, the surname of the country took advantage of the opportunity of the high tide to break through from Luermen into the bay of the Taijiang River, avoiding the artillery blockade of the city of Gelanza.

The Dutch did choose a good place to build the castle, but in the face of the powerful Luzon fleet, the Qikun line also caused a great obstacle to the Dutch fleet.

The Dutch fleet, which consisted mainly of small and medium-sized fleets, also had to sail out of the Grand Channel, directly exposed to the eyes of the Luzon fleet.

"Stop shelling and prepare to meet the enemy."

Seeing that the city of Geranza had lost its firepower advantage to the west due to the bombardment, You Degao calmly ordered to meet the Dutch fleet.

The Dutch fleet Admiral Dabar, who was in charge of leading the team, led the fleet almost with a tragic heart of mortality.

Having seen the artillery fire of the Luzons, he now regretted why he had come to the Far East.

Damn it, Peter Noyz, if it weren't for the fact that the third Dutch governor in Taiwan had returned to Europe to show off his fortunes, he might have gone to New Spain to pan for gold.

The Dutch fleet was under heavy bombardment from the Luzon fleet before it sailed out of the Grand Channel, and under the frantic supervision of Dabal, the Dutch successfully advanced to a range of more than three miles from the Luzon fleet under the fire of the Dutchman.

However, before they could open fire, a crying scream came from the lookout.

"To the northwest, the fleet of the Luzon people, a total of 7 ships."

Dabal, who was standing on the flagship Hector, was so weak that he almost fell off the ladder in the bow.

He followed the prestige, only to see a 750-ton cruiser leading six small frigates to quickly break through from the rear of the island at the end of the north line of Qikun.

The Dutch fleet was suddenly in danger of being flanked.

You Degao, who was far away on the Sun Wu, and Zhao Jingyong, who was also observing the movements of the Dutch at the end of the northern line, all put down the binoculars in their hands with happy faces.

The Dutch have become turtles in an urn.

The current Luzon Navy is not the time when it could only be trained in Qingbo Lake, and the officers of the Liu family, who grew up in the flames of war, quickly improved their understanding of war.

With the addition of the Luzon squadron, the tide of battle was almost irreversible.

An hour later, the Dutch fleet, under heavy fire from both sides, finally raised the white flag, but only eight ships survived on the sea.

The Dutch officers and soldiers on the walls of Geranza, who were watching the battle on the sea, all bowed their heads with red eyes when they saw this scene.

Bolger wanted to say something, but in the end he could only punch the stone wall with a look of remorse, and his face, which had become red from the afternoon sun, looked like it was about to bleed.

With the fall of the Dutch fleet and the destruction of most of the city of Geranza, the fate of the Dutch was decided.

After a night of repairs, the Luzon fleet, which was guarding the Dayuan waterway, set out again, first continuing the artillery bombardment and destroying the other half of the castle in Geranza, and then breaking into the Taijiang River and beginning to sweep the city.

On the first day of October, the Dutch, who could not bear the casualties, had to walk out of the castle under the leadership of Bolger and ask You Degao to surrender.

Outside the city of Relansha, on the city wall that was already full of holes, Jiang Baolin once again acted as the ambassador of surrender.

In the face of such an obvious humiliation, Bolger and the others were naturally angry, but under the eyes of a group of Luzon naval officers and men, these red-haired Dutch could only dare to be angry.

"Your Excellency, on behalf of the Dutch East India Company's Governor's Office in Taiwan, I surrender to you, and I ask you to show mercy to our soldiers."

Wearing a white scarf European robe, Bolger said this with a look of humiliation.

Jiang Baolin's young and handsome face smiled slightly, and he accepted the command knife handed over by Bolge with one hand.

"On behalf of the Luzon General's Palace, this commander accepts your surrender, and our army promises that it will not kill prisoners indiscriminately, but whether it can return to Batavia safely will not be decided until our army convenes a meeting of aborigines in Madou, Mujiataowan and other places."

With the surrender of the Dutch, the official rule of the Luzon General's Office over Taiwan was also proclaimed.

In this battle, the Dutch defended more than 2,000 people, killed more than 700 people, and the rest were all taken prisoner by the Luzon army.

The two days of fighting had already alarmed the Han and aboriginal villages near Tainan.

When You Degao, Zhao Jingyong and others led the naval soldiers to land and receive the city of Geranza and Chichicheng respectively, without the Luzon military sending people to make a declaration, representatives of more than 30 villages and communities near Tainan all rushed to Chichicheng.

He Kang is one of these village representatives, he is 50 years old this year, originally from Quanzhou Prefecture in Fujian, because life in the township could not survive, so he moved to Taiwan with his people.

In order to fight against the aborigines and the Dutch, Han Chinese who immigrated to Taiwan also began to gradually gather in the villages.

After Zheng Zhilong's rise, these Han villages were under his protection, and the Dutch were polite to Han villages except for occasional misdeeds.

However, since the war between the Zheng family and Luzon began in June this year, the Dutch persecution of Han villages near Dayuan has gradually intensified.

The Dutch, who had originally obtained supplies from Han villages through trade, began to send people to the villages to demand taxes such as the poll tax and the tieventh rice tax, and He Kang and others were naturally resolutely opposed.

At first, they hoped that the Zheng family would end the war with Luzon as soon as possible, thus forcing the Dutch to abandon their invasion of Han Chinese villages.

But what He Kang and other Han village elders didn't expect was that by the end of September, news came from the mouths of Han merchants who came and went.

The invincible Zheng family was defeated in the Battle of Keelung, and even Beigang and other strongholds were ceded to the Luzon people, and I heard that the same was true on the Dayuan's side.

This made He Kang and the others panic in their hearts.

What the Luzon people were like, what would they do to the Han villages in Taiwan, and whether they could suppress the Dutch kept He Kang and others awake at night.

It's just that everyone didn't expect the Luzon to move so quickly and decisively, and it only took a few days to start the war with the Dutch after subjugating North Port, and they actually beat the Dutch to the head.

At this moment, He Kang and others were both happy and worried in their hearts.

Fortunately, the red hair is finally out, and the worry is whether the Luzon people can be as benevolent and righteous as the Zheng family.

It was in this state of mind that He Kang and others began their first contact with the Luzon regime.
