Chapter 12: The Fall of the East India Company (4)

The naval battle ended in a crushing defeat for the Dutch, with the loss of their ships, and the Dutch had to send Captain Beder to attack with 500 elite soldiers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Seeing that the Netherlands dared to send troops, Zheng Chenggong just wanted to order his subordinates to open fire, when hundreds of Dongying Wanderers suddenly poured out from behind Fort Provencha.

On their heads were half-bald manes, and their clothes were open, with a belt in the middle. The material was not a good material, rough linen. With wooden shoes on his feet and waving swords, he rushed towards the Dutch soldiers.

Looking at the Dongying devil who suddenly appeared in front of him and killed the Dutch ghost, Zheng Chenggong's eyes were straight, what is the situation?

These Dongying devils are brave and brave, but they are just brave. When the Dutch soldiers saw this surprise attack, they were not worried at all, and according to the drill, Balala's muskets rang out.

Under the five hundred muskets, these wanderers could not get close at all, and forty or fifty people died at once.

When the drifters saw that the Dutch ghosts were fierce and could not defeat them, the survivors quickly turned around and fled.

These drifters rushed over in an uproar, but before Zheng Chenggong could react, he ran away again.

If it weren't for the corpses lying on the ground, it would have been as if the drifter had never appeared.

Having easily defeated the Wanderers, Captain Beder harbored a deep prejudice against the Yellow Army.

He believed that the Huaxia people were also cowardly as rats along with these Fusang people, and as long as they fired a volley of guns and hit a few of them, they would be so frightened that they would flee in all directions, and all of them would collapse.

Bader estimated that twenty-five Chinese were not enough to match a single Dutch soldier.

He had this view of the entire Chinese nation: No matter whether they were peasants or soldiers, as long as they were Chinese, there was no one who was not timid and did not endure a long war.

According to Beder, the Zheng army had only fought against the poor Tatars, and had not yet fought against the Dutch.

Once they fought the Dutch, they would be beaten to pieces, turning their smiling faces into weeping faces.

Captain Beder called out to his men to regroup the somewhat loose formation and slaughter the Zheng family's army.

Captain Bader imagined that he was rewarded by Governor Aoiichi after defeating the Zheng family's army.

The battle unfolds on a sandbar called Waterline Tail.

Zheng Chenggong sent He Wenxing to lead 3,000 musketeers to block the attack in the front, Yang Xiang led 500 rattan players to go around the enemy's left flank to attack, and Huang Wu led 16 warships to wave their flags and shout to attack the relansha.

When Beder's army engaged Hewenxing's army, it had not yet come close, and the musketeers of Zheng's army had already opened fire.

To Beder's surprise, the musketeers of the Zheng Jiajun did not form a neat formation, but instead fired their guns in a loose prone manner.

There was a thud, thump, and at once, hundreds of Dutch soldiers died.

Seeing his men fall before they could get close to the firing range, Beder couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Shoot back, shoot back!" ā€

The Dutch soldiers were busy raising their guns to shoot, but the muskets in their hands were not as powerful as the muskets refined by Zheng Jiajun, and the range was not so far.

The Dutch soldiers fired from a distance of 150 meters, and basically all the bullets flew into the air, and few of them could reach Zheng Jiajun.

saw that Zheng Jiajun did not scatter in despair as soon as he heard the gunshots, but responded calmly, like the lives of Dutch soldiers who reaped the Grim Reaper.

The "courage" of these pretentious Dutch officers and soldiers was completely replaced by fear, and many dropped their guns before even firing at the enemy.

The Dutch soldiers fled in the wilderness.

Zheng Jiajun took advantage of the situation to attack on all fronts, and Captain Beder still thought that he could gather the defeated troops and escape.

But his conspicuous ornamentation was a live target on the battlefield, and hundreds of muskets were fired at him, and he was hit by thirty bullets in an instant, and his whole body was beaten into a shuttle.

As soon as Captain Beder died, the Dutch soldiers were even more frightened and fled in disorder.

All 218 men were killed, more than 100 were taken prisoner, and the remaining opportunistic soldiers swam across the neck-deep river to the opposite bank and fled into the forest.

Zheng's army won one after another at sea and on land, and the Dutch who were killed lost the confidence to attack, and all hid in the castle waiting for help.

Zheng's army cut off land and sea communications and surrounded the fortress of Provencha.

Seeing that the Zheng Jiajun easily defeated the Dutch army, those fleeing drifters ran out from all over the place again.

Seeing the artillery in the Zheng family army falling down the broken stones of the city wall of the Provencha fortress one by one, they cheered excitedly, even more happy and excited than the Zheng family army!

Since Zheng Jiajun set up a military camp, under the propaganda of the drifters, a large number of Fusang people will rush from the island every day to offer condolences, as if Zheng Jiajun is their master.

This kind of enthusiasm is definitely not fake, even if ordinary soldiers walk out of the barracks, there will be a Fuso man with a smile on his face to bring them eggs and soup.

The Fusang businessmen who did business on the island sent a large number of supplies, patted their chests and expressed their willingness to be the leading party, and even sent a lot of Fusang women, just hoping to stay with the soldiers of the Zheng family army for one night, to have a child, and to improve their Fusang bloodline.

Zheng Chenggong saw that the Fusang people of this era respected the Chinese people so much, and he was embarrassed not to accept the "gifts" of the Fusang people.

His subordinates have been sailing for more than a month, and they have been abstinent for so long, Zheng Chenggong agreed to let some soldiers with high merit wave at night.

Three years as a soldier, sow Sai Xi Shih!

Zheng Chenggong is not good at business and robs ordinary soldiers, plus there are a few wives at home, so he really can't look down on these "buses".

Seeing these Fusang people so up-to-date, Zheng Chenggong was in a rare mood and met with several Fusang businessmen.

After chatting with them, Zheng Chenggong realized why these Fusang businessmen welcomed him so much.

A large part of the reason why the Dutch East India Company conquered Dayuan was to monopolize the trade routes of mainland goods to Japan.

The monopoly of trade naturally seriously harmed the interests of these Fuso merchants.

They united against the Dutch East India Company.

It's a pity that they don't have any strength in their hands at all, and they were beaten by the Dutch East India Company and confessed.

Now seeing that Zheng Jiajun can easily clean up the Dutch ghosts, they naturally regard Zheng Jiajun as a savior and desperately want to take refuge in it.

These inexplicable slaves who took refuge in Zheng Chenggong really made Zheng Chenggong a little unable to take measures.

Yao Qisheng and Chen Yonghua didn't come from the future, they didn't mind persuading the general to accept the Fusang people's refuge.

But Zheng Chenggong also knew that accepting them had a lot of benefits, but he always felt a little awkward in his heart.

Zheng Chenggong is also planning to lay down Dayuan, use Dayuan as a springboard, and clean up Fusang!

Although the matter of Fusang is a little abrupt, it is not a trouble, after all, those people are taking refuge in them, and it is up to them to decide whether to accept it or not, you can think about it slowly, and now it is more important to lay down the Provencha Fortress. (To be continued.) )
