Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Death of Dili
Dili, in later generations, was the capital of East Timor. www.biquge.infoSurrounded by mountains on three sides, the north frequency ocean, the climate is hot, and the temperature is high all year round, making it a good deep-water port.
In 1520, the Portuguese colonized and pioneered here. In 1596, Dili became the capital of Portuguese Timor. In the surrounding area, there are abundant oil and gold mines.
At present, the gold mines have been mined by the Portuguese, and the oil is still sleeping underground.
Since the Dutch occupation of West Timor, East Timor has been the only Portuguese colony in the South Seas. The role of Dili has become more and more prominent.
After 100 years, under the management of the Portuguese, the city of Dili is also quite large.
There are five streets in the city, which are divided into three vertical and two horizontal. The most numerous buildings are Catholic, Christian Gothic churches with mostly white facades.
However, in the past two years, with the increase of trade with the Ming Dynasty, there have been many Chinese people living in the city, and there are many Chinese-style buildings with eaves and arches.
If in peacetime, the view of Dili City is also good. But now, first under fire from the Dutch, and then by the natives. Many civil houses were either destroyed or burned to the ground.
The white exterior wall was also scorched black.
Seeing this, the Governor of Portuguese Dili, Proaito, sighed deeply. Since 1704, after the end of the War of the Viceroyalty, Dili has not been subjected to major battles.
So over the years, Dili City has developed more and more vigorously on the basis of the original.
But now, overnight, the city of Dili was completely destroyed.
The more he thought about it, the more gloomy his face became. When he saw the black natives downstairs, his breathing couldn't help but increase. As he looked down, he saw the Dutchman guarding the outer wall again, and his eyes couldn't help but tingle.
"Damn the Dutch! God will not forgive you! Proetto clenched his fists and yelled angrily.
These indigenous people are a well-known food tribe on the island of Timor. I usually live inside the island, and I don't have much communication with the outside world. Portugal and the Dutch jointly exterminated them, but they were never able to wipe them out.
But now, these Dutchmen dare to make a deal with demons and demons, and invite these foodies, people, evils, and demons. Is there still a little bit of civilized consciousness in this?
Turning around, he saw the women and children crowded in the house, and Proaito was even more saddened. These are the Portuguese in the city. According to them, the natives killed people when they saw them. The man is okay to say, and he died more simply. The women, on the other hand, were first harassed and humiliated, and then tortured to death. For children, the meat is cut and eaten raw.
It sounds chilling.
And those Dutchmen from beginning to end, they did not come forward to stop it!
If he had the chance, he would have to bring it back to Europe, and let the Netherlands suffer the condemnation of the whole civilized world.
But what he didn't know was that the Dutch had their own struggles.
These natives are brutal by nature and extremely difficult to regulate. Before, the natives had not dared to be presumptuous because they were afraid of their muskets. But now, the natives are killing and red-eyed, and it is becoming more and more difficult to control.
They just want to stop it, but they are powerless!
At the Dili wharf, a column of solemn and solemn People's troops rushed down from the ship at great speed. After a while, the dock was occupied.
After resting for a while, Liu Weiguo immediately ordered the army to march and capture the city.
I saw the soldiers carrying muskets and pushing cannons, approaching Dili City in an orderly manner.
At this moment, Wang Kai, a Dutch soldier, was following the troops into Dili City.
Before this, he was the personal guard of Gu Liyang, the governor of Southern Province of the Ming Dynasty. Because of the good performance, it coincided with the expansion of the Ming Dynasty. So Guli Yang introduced him to the troops.
With this relationship, his enlistment in the army was much easier than others. And I was fortunate enough to join the Suzaku Brigade. It is said that the four major beast brigades are the trump card brigades of the Ming Dynasty. It is ten million times better than the civilization brigade and the indoctrination brigade.
Being a part of it is indeed something to be proud of.
In fact, Wang Kai's original name was Kane. Aurel. But he thinks he is a Ming man, so he removed the 'Enorel' behind him, and his surname is Wang and his name is Kai.
Later, the Suzaku and Xuanwu brigades were included in the navy. He also moved from an army to a navy. But it doesn't matter, as long as it's a Ming soldier, it's the same everywhere.
When the soldiers in front stopped, and the continuous gunfire rang out, his thoughts also turned back.
According to the combat habits of training, he immediately hid in a corner. Holding a musket, he watched the enemies and people in front of him.
It was a Catholic church, made of masonry. Located at the intersection of three streets, the location is dangerous. Inside, there was a group of Dutch soldiers, who happened to be stuck in the footsteps of the People's Army.
Bang bang bang ...
The gunfire is tight!
The exterior walls of the church were full of bullet holes, but they did little damage to the Dutch soldiers. On the contrary, there were double-digit casualties in the KPA.
Liu Weiguo, who was supervising the battle, immediately asked in a bad tone: "Staff Officer Li, are the commanders you choose stupid?" Since it's a turtle shell, why is it stupid to hit it hard? ”。
Lehi was immediately embarrassed. But he didn't dare to refute Liu Weiguo, so he named a few soldiers and asked them to go and question the commander.
But Liu Weiguo stopped his action!
The battlefield is changeable, and the KPA is fighting away from home. Even if the commander has a problem, he should wait until the war has passed. What's more, the current losses are also within the acceptable range.
At this moment, there was a loud bang, and the ground shook three times.
Liu Weiguo hurriedly raised his binoculars and saw that the church had been bombed into ruins.
It seems that those commanders are not so stupid either!
After that, every time the KPA touched a hard stubble, it would show its cannons. All obstacles were wiped out under artillery fire.
Although this caused great losses to Dili City, for the safety of the soldiers, Liu Weiguo had no choice but to do so. It's just a big deal to spend more money to rebuild afterwards. After all, compared to the lives of soldiers, this amount of money is nothing at all.
As a result, Dili City, which was already ruined, was even more ruined to the point that there was not even any scum left. Before, you could still see some ruins, but now, down a street, in addition to ruins, is still ruins.
There were also groups of rebellious natives in the city, with quivers in their mouths, firing cold arrows at the People's Army.
Then the gunshots rang out non-stop, and those who dared to take the lead basically went to see the Buddha.
Such an offensive frightened not only the Dutch, but also the natives. Often as soon as you hear an unusually loud gunshot, you know that the KPA is coming.
I didn't want to think about it, so I ran away.
Seeing that the situation was extremely unfavorable for him, Van Nisfar ordered the houses on the various passages to be blown down. Make it block the footsteps of Daming.
Although he also knew that this would not last long. But if he can delay for a while, he can't control the future.
