After the Chinese army completely annihilated the 110,000 troops of the Dutch East Indies colony in Borneo, it used the captured fleet and transport fleet to act with lightning speed, and completely turned the Dutch East Indies colony upside down before the Dutch mainland and the European powers could react. And fought a naval ambush in Batavia, which was a complete victory.

After Hu Zhen personally commanded the ambush at sea in Batavia, he returned to Pontianak in Borneo by boat.

The purpose of Hu Zhen's return was to meet someone.

This man was the Viceroy of the Dutch East Indies, Dipol.

Since he was captured, on the first day, the Huaxia army did not give any food and water to Di Boer, who was held in solitary confinement, and Di Boer, who usually ate and drank a lot, was so hungry that his belly was pressed to his back, but he was a nobleman, although he surrendered, he still had a bit of aristocratic bearing, and he could not beg others, especially the enemies who begged to capture him.

The next day, it was the same.

On the third day, Diboer, who was so thirsty that he quietly drank the urine he had pulled down while the guards were not paying attention, but there was no food, and it was not enough to drink his own urine alone. In the afternoon, Dipole finally couldn't get enough of hunger and asked the Chinese soldiers who were guarding him for some water and food.

"Haha, your honorable governor, you finally begged us!" The guards of the Chinese Army lived in the Dutch colony since childhood, and were very proficient in Dutch.

Seeing that the guards responded, Dipole was determined to grasp the clue: "Please give me some food!" ”

"Well, honorable governor, I don't embarrass you, as long as you are willing to kneel down and kowtow to me, I will quietly get you something to eat!" Hu Zhen had already told the guards that the majesty of this noble governor must be brought to the ground, so that he could make use of this person, so he had to act according to the plan.

"Kowtow? Kowtowed...... "Your Excellency the Governor is very embarrassed, he is a noble Christian, who has always knelt before God, how can he now kneel to these barbarians?"

"Hmph, don't you want to kneel? That doesn't force you, you're just waiting to starve to death anyway! Seeing that Dipole hesitated, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army said contemptuously, and were about to turn around and walk away.

Dipole was gurgling in his stomach, his eyes were full of stars, as if death had come to him with a scythe, he couldn't bear it any longer, J didn't care what but knelt down to God and the king, so he pounced on his knees, knelt on the ground, and cried out sharply: "No, no, I kneel, I kneel down and beg you!" ”

"Haha, will the noble Governor also kneel? You're starving to death, what are you kneeling down to me, a savage Huaxia? The guard laughed loudly, and still turned away.

Dipole was kind of out of the way, he ignored the sand and gravel on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said: "Don't, please don't go, I kneel down sincerely, please give me something to eat!" ”

The guard thought to himself, this bullshit governor is really as cheap as Commander-in-Chief Hu said, but since the commander-in-chief has an explanation, then do as ordered. So he said contemptuously, "Well, for the sake of the Governor kneeling down to me to fill his stomach, I'll make an exception!" ”

The guard brought a sweet potato the size of a little finger and a small glass of water that smelled of rancid urine and handed it to Dipole.

Dipole had no room for bargaining at this time, he even drank his own urine, and regardless of whether the water brought by the guard tasted rancid or not, he snatched the cup and drank the water with a grunt, and then swallowed a small sweet potato into his stomach.

On the morning of the fourth day, for a little food, Dipole knelt down nine times again to the guard, asking for a small half of corn and a small cup of mud and cow dung for water.

Dipole kowtowed to the guards one after another, and received food one after another.

On this day, Hu Zhen came back, and he wanted to see Dipole in person.

Dipole seemed to be addicted to kowtowing, and when he saw Hu Zhen, he knelt down with a thud, ignoring the fact that his forehead was swollen like a pig's head due to frequent kneeling and kowtowing, and kowtowed to Hu Zhen on the ground.

Hu Zhen pretended to be surprised and said, "Ouch, Governor Diboer, what are you doing here?" Hurry up. ”

Hu Zhen didn't speak Dutch, so he came with a translator, and the translator hurriedly stepped forward to translate Hu Zhen's original words to Diboer.

"Spare your life, spare your life! Don't kill me! Di Boer was worried that Hu Zhen would kill him, anyway, he was going to kneel down even a little guard, and there was no psychological barrier to kneeling to Hu Zhen at this moment.

"Hmph, I won't kill you, what can you do for me?"

"I can satisfy your ransom demand and get enough ransom from the city of Batavia to ransom me back!"

"Haha, you can still get a ransom from Batavia?" Hu Zhen took out a ring and a necklace from his pocket and threw them on the ground, saying, "Look at what this is?" ”

Dipole picked up the ring and the necklace and looked at it carefully, only to see that it was the wedding ring he had given to his wife, and that the necklace was the necklace he had given to his ninth mistress, and he was shocked: "Ah, you, you...... Have you already been to Batavia? ”

"Not only have we been to Batavia, we have taken down all the cities of Java and Sumatra, captured all the public officials of your East Indies colony, and your reinforcement fleet has also been defeated by us, and the reinforcement fleet Rear Admiral Lauder has also been captured by us, and all your family members are in our hands! Who else can you ask for ransom to save you? ”

"Ahh Dipole thought that these Chinese would release him as long as they paid a ransom, but who knew that the Chinese wanted to occupy the entire Dutch East Indies colony, so he fainted on the spot in a fit of anger.

"Wake him up!" In this regard, Hu Zhen had already prepared, he came with a military doctor, and the military doctor behind him immediately stepped forward to rub Diboer's acupoint after hearing the order, and slapped Dipole a few times in the face, finally waking Diboer up.

After Dipole woke up, Hu Zhen didn't bother to play with him anymore, and asked directly: "Do you want to live?" Do you want to continue to spend the rest of your life with your family and you? ”

Dipole is really a smart person, he knows that Hu Zhen came to find him, he must still have some use value, and at this time, he no longer goes around in circles with Hu Zhen: "Then what do you want me to do?" ”

"It's very simple, you are a hero for the Kingdom of the Netherlands again, and you will take back a third of the Dutch East Indies colony!"

"Take back a third of the East Indies colonies?" Dipole jumped up, he thought that even if he didn't go back to the Netherlands to go to the gallows, he would be exiled to a foreign country forever to serve hard labor, but Hu Zhen said that he would be given a chance to be a hero again, so he asked urgently: "What can I do to get the East Indies colony back!" ”

"Don't get me wrong, I just said that you will take back a third of the East Indies Colony, not that you can take the entire East Indies Colony back, ah, in terms of geographical area, that is at most a third, or a quarter is more accurate!"

"Ahh Dipole thought to himself that it would be nice to be able to get back a third of the East Indies if all of them were lost, but the problem was that he had to find a scapegoat for losing the entire East Indies before he could get them back. He Dipole couldn't afford to lose the entire East Indies colony and only get back one-third of it in the end, so wouldn't he have to bear the responsibility of losing two-thirds?
