The Dutch have been running Dongfan Island for more than 20 years, and the number of Dutch people living on Provencha Street has grown to nearly 2,000. Vertex updates are the fastest

The houses of the Dutch are different from those of the Ming Dynasty, but they are European-style buildings, with high spires, round arches, large windows and stained glass with Bible stories painted on the windows, and the whole street is like a small town in Europe.

However, for the Dutch who live on Provencha Street, everyone was restless for the two days.

The crusade led by Governor Caron failed, and only two ships escaped, followed by an attack by hundreds of Ming fleets. The fate of the 800 Dutch soldiers was unknown, and most of their family members lived in Provencha Street, which made many Dutch families very sad.

The day before yesterday, the Ming army bombarded the city of Resha for a day, and the rumbling sound of artillery could be heard on Provencha Street.

Yesterday there was no artillery, and it is said that the city of Resharan was negotiating with the Ming people, which gave hope to many Dutchmen. If the negotiations can be successful, perhaps the relatives captured by the Ming army can be released. It's a big deal, it's a big deal to pay some ransom.

Provencha Street is located inland on the east side of the Taijiang River, and most of the Dutch believe that the Ming army should not be able to break through the blockade of the city and forts to break into the Taijiang River, so except for a small number of people, most of them have no intention of moving to the city of Geranza.

After all, the city of Geranza is just a castle, and it can't accommodate so many people at all, and it is very troublesome to move, if you don't move and go directly to the castle of Geranza, you are afraid that the wealth you have worked hard to accumulate will be stolen by the Ming people or the indigenous people.

If the negotiations are unsuccessful, it is not too late to move to the city of Geranza.

However, to everyone's surprise, the Ming army took advantage of the rising tide at night to sneak into the inland sea of the Taijiang River along the Luermen Sea Road.

Early in the morning, when Guo Huaiyi and the Ming army broke into Provencha Street, most of the Dutch were still asleep.

The soldiers of the Ming army were divided into small flags, and a small flag was responsible for one to two Dutch houses. Most of the 3,000 soldiers rushed towards the Dutch residence under the leadership of officers at all levels, and only Chen Yan was escorted by Chen Yue with 100 personal soldiers.

The sound of banging on the door and breaking glass followed by screams and wails.

"Bang" There was an occasional musket sound, and the Dutch man who reacted at that time opened fire on the incoming Ming soldiers.

"Boom" With the explosion of the grenade, the resistance fell silent.

Dutch men and women were driven out of their homes one by one, and more and more Dutch people were captured on the streets, whether they were strong men or women with children in their arms, under the coercion of Ming soldiers armed with knives and guns, they were all silent and trembling with fear.

The colonists who colonized everywhere with strong ships and guns, occupied land, and slaughtered the indigenous people, never imagined that one day they would end up in the current situation.

In Heliao Street, not far from Provencha Street, the Ming people also stayed at home tremblingly, and some of the bold ones lay on the wall and secretly watched the movement outside.

"Who is in charge?" The woman asked in a whisper, hiding behind the door.

"Shhhh The husband who was climbing on the wall and looking out reprimanded.

"Ah, officers and soldiers!" The woman was shocked, "I finally hid on Dongfan Island, why did the officers and soldiers come over again." ”

There was a lot of disappointment in her tone, it turned out that in her heart, the officers and soldiers were more hateful than the red-haired ghosts.

"Alas!" The husband sighed, got off the wall, turned back into the house, and began rummaging around with things.

"What do you do, master?" The woman asked, puzzled.

"I'll hide the money and food, don't let the officials and soldiers snatch the money that is easy to earn!" So said the husband.

"Oops, I didn't think about this stubble!" The woman tapped her head in frustration and hurriedly began to help her husband hide things.

The streets of Provencha were inhabited by Dutch civilians, most of whom were women and children, and most of them were incapable of resisting. Occasionally, an angry Dutch man resisted, and in the face of a heavily armed and organized army, this resistance was like a splash in the sea, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

However, in the end, there are nearly 2,000 Dutch, and there are some Javanese black slaves and even Ming servants in each family, and there are as many as three or four thousand people living in Provencha Street, which is already a large town.

When everyone was expelled from their homes and put on the streets, the Dutch men were rope-bound, the women and children were not tied, and the Javanese slaves were gathered in a compound and guarded by dozens of soldiers. As for the Ming servants, they were ordered to take the soldiers to be responsible for the inspection of the Dutch's property, and Ho Lu took the people to take charge of this piece, and all the property was to be registered. There were many places to spend money later, and the goods seized from the Dutch were a good fortune.

But it all took time, and it took half an hour from the storming of Provencha Street to the arrest of all the Dutchmen, and the continuous sound of gunfire from the south, and the rumbling of artillery from the sea. The fleet led by Yang Zhengping and the army led by Li Yi were all at war with the Dutch.

The Ming army suddenly appeared in the inland sea of the Taijiang River and was soon discovered by the Dutch.

Frightened, Major Philip departed and sent 200 soldiers along the land route to Provencha Street, where the Dutch fled to the castle of Geranza. Many of the soldiers had their possessions on Provencha Street, and many of their families lived there, so there was no room for error.

However, as soon as the Dutch army reached the junction between Dayuan Island and the mainland, it was subjected to overwhelming artillery fire, and most of the two hundred Dutch soldiers were immediately shot down, and when the rest fled back in embarrassment, they were blocked by the Ming army that appeared out of nowhere, and under the front and rear attacks of the Ming army, most of the Dutch troops were killed on the spot, and more than 20 people abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

When Li Yi led the army to arrive here, the sky had not yet dawned, Li Yi immediately ordered the ships carrying the army to return to Heliao Port by the same route, and he divided the army into two parts, and set up an ambush at the narrowest place connecting Dayuan Island and the mainland, and actually annihilated the Dutch army that attacked in one fell swoop!

And with the loss of these two hundred soldiers, there were only more than two hundred soldiers left in the castle of Reshaland, and even if the other Dutchmen in the castle were added, the total number was five or six hundred, and there was no longer the ability to attack.

In fact, not to mention the attack, even the two armed sailing ships were not very manpowered, and when Yang Zhengping led the fleet to attack, he could only rely on the artillery on the castle and the fort to confront the Ming army.

At the castle of Geranza, Major Philip looked at the huge fleet of the Ming army inside the Taijiang River and was stunned. At this time, even the dullest people knew that the situation was still completely unfavorable to the Netherlands, and the lack of manpower made the fall of the castle of Geranza a matter of time.
