The Dutch garrison officer on the Pontianak fortress had already figured out at this time that the warships on the river were sailing from the distant ancient country in the East. is depressed, when will the Kingdom of the Netherlands be down, so that even the backward countries in the East will come to bully?

But when I saw the volume of those warships, I was really a little flustered, it seemed that the strength was still very strong, what kind of Chinese empire in the East, when did there have so many Western warships? Damn, looking at the style of the warship, either the British or the Yankees sold it to them. Damn, since this damned ancient country of the East dared to declare war on the Netherlands, as soon as the matter was settled, it was necessary to report to Batavia and Europe, to negotiate with the British, that no more warships could be sold to them, and that in the future, the merchant ships of that country would have to be intercepted when they passed through the East Indies.

Thinking wantonly and annoyed, when he saw that the three warships were actually four miles away and began to bombard, the Dutch garrison officer couldn't help laughing: Bai was worried, it turned out to be a group of guys who bought warship cannons and couldn't use them! Firing the cannon so far is just a waste of shells. When you get closer, I'll show you what European artillery shooting is!

Unexpectedly, when the first shell fell, the Dutch garrison officer's face changed. Because this shell, which should have been ridiculous and did not know where it would fall, actually hit the fort's battery so clearly that it almost came in through a small detour of the barrel. It slammed into the masonry, shaking up the dust, and the power was so great that the whole battery trembled. Nearly ten shells followed, but they hit the battery one after another, and three of them actually came in from the gap and smashed heavily on the artillery guns, hitting two cannons, one of which was a cast iron gun.

It's so accurate! This is the first round!

The Dutch garrison couldn't believe it, was this possible? Is this still the backward country of the East? Or was it the country that had no sailors at all when hundreds of warships couldn't help a few British warships? The Dutch garrison felt like he was going crazy. However, what drove him even more crazy was still to come.

In just a minute or so, the second round of heavy artillery bombardment began. This round was more accurate, and three guns on the Pontianak fortress were hit, and two of the barrels were ruptured, turning them into scrap metal. And that's not even the deadliest of all. The 3 Dutch gunners and 6 Dayan native servants on the fort were hit by the iron bullets that hit the fort or the barrel, and immediately their flesh and blood were blurred, and they were basically unable to survive in this hot weather in Borneo. However, this is not the most deadly. The most fatal thing was that when the angry garrison officer ordered a return fire, the gunners on the battery hurriedly opened fire, only to find that the enemy's warship was actually four miles away, and most of the guns on the battery had a range that was difficult to reach. Eventually, two of the newly installed cannons had a maximum range of seven or eight hundred yards, but after they were fired, they did not know where they went, and the last sharp-eyed gunner found that the cannons had landed nearly a mile away from the warship they were aiming.

The garrison officer was dumbfounded. He knew what that meant, and he could only be beaten and couldn't do anything else. No matter how strong the fort is, there is no way to do it, it is covered by rounds of shelling, and sooner or later all the artillery on the fort will be blown up.

But what he didn't understand was when, when did this backward eastern country have such sharp artillery, such a long range and so accurate? As far as he knows, even the latest Amsterdam city cannon can't be so accurate at such a long range!

After another round of shelling, he had no time to sigh, and the important question was in front of him, whether to continue to be beaten, or to surrender? Looking at the panicked compatriots hiding in the hiding cave, the garrison officer made a difficult decision: surrender.

When nearly 200 Dutch soldiers in the Pontianak fortress, under the leadership of the garrison officer, waved a white flag and asked Tan Tiyuan standing on the warship in the river to surrender, Van Basten did not know why, and he felt calm in his heart: everyone is the same, even the garrison officer has surrendered to the enemy. He had seen the power of the guns on the warship. Throughout, the Chinese commander beside him was extremely calm and light-hearted, while the gunners in the warship, although not as skilled as the gunners on the British warships, were also methodical and well-trained.

This is a formidable enemy! Terrible Orientals! At this moment, the captive Van Basten couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: Perhaps, this ancient oriental country has risen, or it won't be long before this Dutch East Indies will be seized by this group of yellow-faced Oriental Chinese. And as soon as this idea came out, it startled him at first, but then it became stronger and stronger, he had come into contact with the Chinese in Pontianak City, and had some understanding of the eastern country, a country with a population of 400 million, and there were tens of thousands of Chinese in Borneo alone, and the entire Dutch East Indies, especially inside and outside Batavia, accounted for nearly half of the Chinese, and the Hongxi tragedy more than a hundred years ago was not because he was afraid that these Chinese would rebel and occupy the East Indies, so they were slaughtered. Now with this powerful country and army as support, Van Basten did not dare to think about it...... However, his eyes lit up, and maybe this was an opportunity for himself......

Tan Tiyuan was calm on the surface, but he was actually a little excited in his heart. After all, this is his first large-scale expedition since he served as the deputy commander of the Nanyang Fleet, and he didn't feel it when he occupied Sankouyang, but now Shengsheng used artillery to capture this Pontianak fortress, forcing the Hongmao Yang Domain to hand over this Pontianak city to surrender, Tan Tiyuan suddenly felt that he would go down in history like the previous national surname to recover Taiwan, after all, he was only a young man in his early twenties, how could he not be excited?

His hands trembled a little, but Tan Tiyuan calmed down and took the surrender letter from the red-haired official. The red-haired officer, who claimed to be a garrison officer, asked Tan Tiyuan to release him and his soldiers, as well as the two captured merchant ships and a gunboat, through an interpreter, saying that this was the European rule.

Tan Tiyuan smiled: This is Nanyang, and he is the deputy commander of the Nanyang Fleet of the Chinese Empire, so he has to follow the rules of Nanyang! When will it be necessary to follow the rules of the captive?

After the red-haired official was speechless, Tan Tiyuan proposed to let the red-haired official issue an order to Liu Asheng, the general commander of Lanfang in Dongwanlu, in the name of his Pontianak garrison officer, and asked him to come to Pontianak City immediately. Tan Tiyuan sent a battalion of infantry to ambush halfway between Dongwanlu and Pontianak, and captured Liu Asheng's extremely close guards who rushed immediately after receiving the letter.

In this way, Tan Tiyuan almost did not stop, leaving the soldiers of the First Fleet of Nanyang and two infantry battalions to guard Pontianak and watch over the Hongmao Fanyang, and then he personally led two infantry regiments to Dongwanlu, the headquarters of the Lanfang Republic.

If you rush to Dongwanlu, if you don't take the waterway and take the land route, it is actually very close, but because it is a narrow mountain road, it still took nearly two days to reach Dongwanyu. When the soldiers of the captive army escorted the red-haired Fanyang and Liu Asheng to the front of the Guanzhai in Dongwanlu, the Chinese people of the Lanfang Republic in Dongwanlu were completely boiling!

They never thought there would be such a day.

At the beginning, the people of Lanfang were still instigated by Liu Asheng's son Liu Liangguan, and they still thought that there was another infighting and rebellion among the Chinese, and they arrested Liu Asheng, and they all clamored to take up arms to save the general system. But with the explanation of the person on the other side, they understood that the general system that they had always trusted and respected turned out to be a traitor, and they also took refuge in the red-haired people behind their backs.

When Liu Liangguan led a group of cronies to fight desperately, armed with weapons, organized hundreds of Lanfang soldiers to forcibly rush over, ready to rescue Liu Asheng, Tan Tiyuan showed no mercy, and directly ordered the guard battalion to shoot and kill, as more than ten Liu cronies were shot, Liu Liangguan's team quickly collapsed. Fifty or sixty of them may have been coerced to come, and they hurriedly surrendered on their knees, and the rest wanted to flee in a hurry, but they were blocked by some Lanfang people who were watching from the side, and they were taken into custody and handed over to the captive army. At this moment, Liu Asheng's forces all collapsed, and the rest of the people who had no way out hurriedly hid quietly.

Under the leadership of some opposition factions of Liu Asheng in the Lanfang Republic, the guard battalion confiscated Liu Asheng's home, led the way according to the accusations of his cronies, dug up more than 800 catties of gold under the rockery in the back garden of Liu's house, and also found a treaty between Liu Asheng and the Dutch governor of Batavia, Rokote, on which Liu Asheng signed a note.

The treaty was written in three languages: Chinese, Wulaiyou, and Dutch. Tan Tiyuan looked at the treaty, and his face was full of anger. He asked people to read the treaty out in public, but it was last year that Liu Asheng and a dealer named Awusi Delhishan went to Batavia to meet with the Dutch governor in the East Indies, Rokote, accepted the other party's gold and swallowed it, agreed to the other party's rude demand, and ceded all the territory of the entire Lanfang Republic to the Netherlands.

The angry people of the Lanfang Republic surrounded Liu Asheng, threw small stones and dirt on him, spat and asked if his betrayal of his compatriots and the Lanfang Republic was true, and there were Dutch confronting him, Liu Asheng had no choice but to admit that he had made a secret agreement with the Dutch governor to cut off all the places where Lanfang belonged, and only kept the boundary of the East Wanlu Hall. In exchange, the Dutch governor promised to let him be the general ruler of Lanfang for life, and then send troops to occupy the Lanfang Republic after his death, and at the same time give him 300 catties of gold as a reward for the territory he ceded on behalf of the Lanfang Republic, which he hid from all the people of Lanfang, and even his son-in-law did not tell him.

At this time, the righteous indignation of the Lanfang people who surrounded him was even more indignant, and there was a riot at the beginning, and the angry and desperate Lanfang people were angry, and they directly beat Liu Asheng and Liu Liangguan and other sons to death.

Tan Tiyuan didn't stop it, but just asked people to escort those Dutch people to the side. For the Liu family, he was also angry.

The people of Lanfang, who were angry, learned that Tan Tiyuan and other soldiers who begged for prisoners came from their hometowns, and now the lord of the homeland is no longer the Manchu Qing, but the Han people, and even the emperor is a Hakka like everyone. Suddenly, the people of Lanfang became excited, and under the leadership of several other leaders of the Lanfang Republic in Dongwanlu, they all claimed that they were willing to submit to the imperial court. Several of these leaders even took their men to cut off the Manchu braids that still remained at the back of their heads as a sign of allegiance to the Chinese Empire.
