Just when the Spaniards had arranged all the muskets and cannons and were ready to give the Ming army a head-on attack, the Spanish soldiers suddenly appeared, and many local natives appeared outside Manila, numbering no less than 10,000 people. There were many women, old and young, mixed with many women, their skin was dark, not like Han Chinese, and most of them were dressed in coarse linen clothes, which were clearly the clothes of the natives of Luzon

"Isn't this a local student, what are the Chinese going to do?" Grady, the Spanish archbishop of Manila, asked in surprise

A Spanish soldier said with a look of horror: "My lord, I have heard that the Tatars used to drive the enemy civilians as the vanguard to attack the city. Could it be that these natives of the East also followed the Tatar example and drove these natives to death? ”

"Tatars? My God! Grady drew a cross on his chest, "Shameless, indecent, executioner, these natives are civilians, God will not allow such a cruel thing to happen!" Grady waved his arms excitedly, forgetting that more than 4,000 natives were helping the Spaniards defend the city of Manila as cannon fodder.

"Lord Bishop, wait a minute, these Oriental natives will drive these tens of thousands of natives to attack, if the natives of the city are unwilling to help, we can't stop it with our own 2,000 soldiers!" Spanish infantry captain Rodrigo was in a hurry

It was only then that the Spanish governor Blange suddenly realized why the Ming army did not attack the city directly, it was not because the Ming army was afraid of the Spanish artillery, it turned out that the Ming army had gone out to collect the natives on the island. Although the Spaniards began to clear the wilderness after the Ming Dynasty was about to attack Manila, the population that Manila City could accommodate was limited after all, and most of the natives only cleared out of the city a little. They saw that the Ming army had not taken action against the Spaniards on the island for a long time, and many natives hid in the forest for several days and then ran home, and there were cavalry in the Ming army

The second day is still sunny skies, the weather in Luzon is also very strange, June to November is the rainy season, heavy rain all day long, and this is the dry season, the whole island is the whole month and there are no drops of rain. Therefore, Lin Guofeng suggested that Manila should be conquered before the rainy season arrives in June, otherwise firearms will be difficult to threaten when the rainy season arrives.

So after waiting for the sun to rise in the east, Zhou Guoqing immediately ordered the gunners to aim and shoot, and the city of Manila was bombed, the houses and buildings could not stop collapsing, and the already weak sense of resistance in the city became lower and lower. The artillery of all the Ming infantry moved to the forward position, and more than 200 large and small artillery pieces bombarded the city together. The Spaniards also fought back, but the Ming artillery had the advantage in range, so the casualties were minimal. The Spaniards, on the other hand, suffered heavy casualties, especially the natives, who were equally fearful in the face of the heavy artillery of the Ming army.

The natives cowered, causing cracks in several destroyed walls of Manila to grow bigger and bigger, and at this time, the Ming army began to drive the nearly 10,000 natives they had collected and began to approach the city of Manila.

"Let's go! Hurry up~" The Ming soldiers drove them forward like ducks behind the natives, the natives were no less afraid of the Spanish artillery in the front battlefield than the Ming army behind them, although the Ming soldiers punched and kicked, and even smashed with the butt of their guns, but there were very few people who were really willing to advance, a ten-person team of Ming soldiers had to deal with more than 200 natives who were in custody, in the face of the non-cooperation of most of the people, the difficulties can be imagined, Zhou Guoqing issued the order to move forward for ten minutes, the distance of the natives was less than 100 meters, and they were reluctant to go further

"Shoot me, two shots on the ground first!" Secretary Zhou ordered

呯呯呯~~

The Ming army fired at the feet of the natives, and the splashes of earth and the loud noise frightened the natives. The sound of gunfire played a great role in the degree of the natives, more and more natives entered the range of the artillery of the city of Manila, and the artillery at the head of the city wanted to shoot at the artillery of the Ming army to suppress their destruction of the city wall

The Spanish colonized the Philippines for decades, so Catholicism has a strong foundation among the Filipino natives. Most of the natives gathered in Manila at this moment were Catholics who had been tricked into coming to the aid of the war. So Grady stood in front of the church and said in a cuckoo's bloody tone: "Look outside the city, children of God, there may be your relatives among those people, or your neighbors, but at this moment, they are all thrown into the arms of the devil, and only blood can wash away their sins. You must save them, and when they die, they will return to the arms of God. God is loving, and everyone who dies can be forgiven by God if they sincerely repent, and those poor people outside the city need your help. ”

Grady went on to say sensationally: "Children, the devil is roaring outside the city, and once they enter Mani, God's people will be killed and churches will be destroyed. You have no place to worship, your life is under the threat of the devil at any time, your wives and daughters have to contribute for the devils to vent, and the lowly and greedy Chinese will climb on your head and take everything from you, can you allow it? ”

Under Grady's instigation, the blood of the natives boiled and shouted loudly: "No~~No~~~~"

"Go to battle, children, guard Manila, guard God, guard your wives and daughters, God is with you, Amen!" Grady ended his speech by making a cross on his chest, then waved his hand and pointed in the direction of the city walls

"God is with us!" Countless natives were rushing in the direction of Grady's finger, this was originally a war between the Ming and the Spaniards, but it was two groups of local natives who were the first to engage in short-handed combat

Under the city of Manila, it is now a real sea of corpses and blood, and two groups of natives wield bows and arrows, axes, machetes and spears to fight under the city of Manila. However, the Spaniards in Manila and the Ming army outside the city watched from the wall like spectators.

At first, the fight between the two groups of natives was just forced to be helpless, but as more and more people died in the battle on both sides, some tribes that already had feuds fought between each other. So Li Long decided to add fuel to the fire, and took out some silk, porcelain, and broken silver to reward the most murderous natives. And promised that after entering Manila, the Spaniards would give them all their possessions. As a result, these simple-minded natives are even more excited. Every day at dawn, he screamed and took the initiative to attack the city.

The Ming army has been driving the natives to attack the city for seven days, and in the past seven days, at least tens of thousands of natives have fallen under the city of Manila, and every night, the Ming army has to drive the natives to collect thousands of corpses from the city and bury them in the field. Only at this time did there be a brief peace between the two sides, and the Ming army had to divide the corpses for tomorrow's siege, and the Spaniards were afraid that the corpses would stink and cause the plague if they were left in their place.

Under the constant bombardment of the Ming artillery, the city of Manila had an inexhaustible gap, and the defenders of the city were exhausted to death, and the Spaniards simply gave up their efforts to repair the city walls and retreated to the inner city.

Despite the death of so many people, the natives under the city did not decrease by half a point, but tended to increase, and the cavalry of the Ming army did nothing, just kept sweeping on Luzon Island, replenishing the natives to the army attacking the city. And then with a small benefit as a reward, these natives will voluntarily go to the city of Manila to play for their lives.

"Forward!" Xiao Qilin Fire Lion is a third-generation Chinese immigrant from Manila, who narrowly escaped the massacre, and now he shouts in a hoarse voice, driving the natives forward, even though he speaks the native language very well, but now he refuses to say a word, because he does not speak a word of Chinese, which will add to his pride. In order to drive the natives to attack the city, these days he also does not know how many retreat or refuse to move forward natives, in his heart, killing the natives is much simpler than killing pigs and sheep, killing pigs and sheep to sharpen knives, to prepare ropes to tie, and killing people only need to pull the plate machine.

"Kill!" The natives on both sides of the war began hand-to-hand combat again, and although there were countless gaps in the city wall, there were too many natives attacking. Most of the people still had to climb the wall, and even if they entered the city through the gap, they had to attack on their backs, and they were subjected to the condescending blows of the natives in the city.

With the support of religious beliefs, the natives in the city used rudimentary weapons such as broadswords, spears, sticks, stones, etc. to resist the attacks of the natives outside the city, and such sieges were no different from the sieges of the city thousands of years ago, but the cannonballs that flew over their heads from time to time reminded everyone that this was a war dominated by firearms, and these natives never dreamed of this consequence when they followed the Spaniards in the massacre of the Chinese in Manila.

"Stand down, stand down, you devils." The natives of the city slashed and slaughtered, and shouted to the people under the city.

"Let's go in, and when we enter the city, we can divide the white people's money!" The city was also crying. Shouting, they have no choice, whoever dares to turn their heads back, immediately there will be bullets flying from behind.

"God~~ I can't stand it!" After a native defending the city cut down three siege natives who spoke the same native language as himself, he threw away the weapon in his hand and retreated, seeing that the city wall fell to all his own people, no matter how ruthless his heart was, there was a time to soften.

But the natives who besieged the city did not have the slightest mercy, and a bamboo spear pierced into the lower abdomen of his **.

Unable to kill, and not wanting to be killed, seven or eight more natives threw down their weapons and fled into the city, where a small gap appeared in the wall.

"In, in~~" The natives under the city cheered, rushing towards this gap like a tide, and the gap became bigger and bigger, and it was in danger of collapsing at any time.

Bang! Bang!

A group of Spanish soldiers rushed up from behind, shot all the retreating soldiers, and killed a few more natives who entered the city outside, trying to plug the entire gap.

"In God's name, children, don't retreat~~" Grady yelled hoarsely

Even more terrible than the casualties was the exhaustion of the troops, and the fact that the soldiers did not know when such an attack would come to an end, and the Manila defenders generally despaired

"The city is broken, the city is broken." Another gap was opened, and countless natives rushed in through the breach, and the natives alone could not resist it.

The nearest Spanish soldier hurriedly rushed to the gap, this Spanish soldier has filled three gaps in a row today, and the number of people has dropped from 50 to 45, the most important thing is that the strength of the soldiers in this team has been consumed too much, and it usually takes two or three minutes to reach the gap, but now it takes twice as long to arrive.

Hundreds of natives had already rushed into the city, and many more had rushed up from behind, and the defensive line they had formed could no longer close the gap, and the Spanish soldiers who had caught up with them fired only one shot, and were overwhelmed by the tide of natives. They could only drop the muskets in their hands and rely on their sabers to drive the natives back down.

Bang! bang

The regular army of the Ming army also approached the city wall behind the Turen and shot and sniped at the white men dressed in Spanish clothes. There were fewer and fewer Spanish soldiers, and most of the natives who had harvested threw away their weapons, crouched on the ground with their heads in their hands and surrendered, or found a corner to hide

"My lord, the city is broken." Seeing the natives pouring into the city, widening the gap wider and wider, and the Ming army behind them also climbed the city wall, a thousand generals shouted.

"Grandpa is really wise, he took a fortified city with 100 casualties." Another Qian Zong seized the opportunity to slap Li Long's sycophants, as for the dead natives, it doesn't matter if he is 20,000 or 30,000, naturally he doesn't need to be counted in the list of battle damage.

"Wait." Although the corners of Zhou Guoqing's mouth, who were supervising the battle on the front line, showed a smile, he did not lose his calm.

"Cavalry attack!" This gap is obviously not something that the Spaniards can plug in a short time, Secretary Zhou decisively ordered, five hundred cavalry rushed towards the gap like arrows, these five hundred cavalry have been recuperating, and they did not even participate in the operation of capturing the natives, waiting for it to be used at a critical moment.

The cavalry of the Ming Dynasty did not care whether they were helping their own natives or fighting their own natives in front, as long as they were not Ming soldiers, they were like tanks, trampling and crushing all the way through the horses. As the first Ming horse's horse stepped into the gap, the Ming cavalry on horseback raised a folding carbine and fired two shots, killing the commander of the Spanish garrison, Rodrigo, and the city of Manila had no power to return to heaven

With the rumbling sound of horses' hooves and the sabers and carbines of the Ming army, the confidence of all the defenders was shattered, and at this moment, whether it was a native or a Spanish soldier, the only thing to do was to escape, and if it was a little slow, it would be slashed by the sabers that came after it, Manila was like a wall with leaks on all sides, and could no longer stop the wind and rain.

Seeing that the general situation was gone, the Spanish governor Bourran had no choice but to untie his sword, took out a white shirt from the box, and said to the trembling guards beside him: "Surrender~ God will not want to see the Spaniards die in the Philippines." ”

The guards didn't go out with their shirts yet, but they heard a clang, and the door of the room was kicked open, only to see the old man Lin Guofeng wearing a Ming military uniform, holding a short firearm and a goose feather knife in his hand, glaring angrily at Bourlan, "Lord Governor, do you remember me?" Old man Lin Guofeng sneered

"You are? Are you Lin? Bourlan's face showed fear and panic, "Kill ~ kill him ~!" Bourlan pushed the guards around him forward, trying to use him as a shield. The guard fell to his knees with a thud and threw away his weapon

"Coward!" Bourlan picked up the saber on the table, and was about to draw the sword, only to hear a bang, a red cloud began to spread in Bourlan's left chest, Bourlan looked at the old man Lin Guofeng in disbelief, and slowly collapsed to the ground

After Lin Guofeng stayed in the army for a while, he was already deeply infatuated with the army, and his former identity as a lumber yard owner had long been forgotten by him. What if you have money, if you don't have the strength to protect yourself, more money is a scourge, the two massacres of the Chinese by the Spaniards can be fully explained, and after joining the army, Lin Guofeng and others, who used to have to accompany the natives all the time with a smiling face, are not only now honest in front of the natives, but also the invincible Spaniards are also crushed in front of the Ming army. Lin Guofeng regained his dignity as a human being and his pride as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty

"Who? Come out! Suddenly, a Ming soldier stepped forward and pulled out a white and fat white woman from a closet.

"Oh, it's the honorable Lady Angelina!" Lin Guofeng recognized at a glance that this was Lady Angelina, the wife of the Governor of Boerland

"Lin, for God's sake~~ Don't kill me!" Mrs. Angelina removed the necklace from her neck, the ring from her finger, held it in her hand, and pleaded with Lin Guofeng in Spanish

Lin Guofeng slammed off the jewelry in Angelina's hand, rushed forward and pressed Angelina on the oak table that Bourland used for office, "Lady Angelina, I am a lowly Oriental native in your mouth, how can I take such a valuable gift from you?" Lin Guofeng teased

"That~~ then what do you want to do?" Angelina's face was full of horror

"What your husband has done to my wife and daughter, I will take double my revenge on you!" Lin Guofeng grabbed Angelina's corset and tore it hard, only to hear a sound, and a pair of white, big and full twin peaks were exposed

"Oh~~~" The Ming soldiers present were all seeing a red-haired woman for the first time, let alone the body of a red-haired woman

"Brothers, I'm old, and I can't afford to avenge my wife and daughter~~" Lin Guofeng continued to tear Angelina's clothes and said with a smile: "You are all young and strong offspring, are you willing to do me a favor to the old man!" ”

The soldiers of the Ming army understood, and they all smiled lewdly: "Everyone is their own people, what are you polite, we have helped with this favor~!" ”

"Then thank you~" Lin Guofeng slapped Angelina hard, then arched his hand to the Ming soldiers, and said, "Remember not to leave your mouth alive after you are done." ”

It is said that Zheng Zhilong, who was fighting hard in the Bo Ni country, contacted Li Weijing, a Chinese in Malacca, through his old relationship in Nanyang.

The Kapitan system is a patriarchal system and a community system. In the 15th century, European power began to spread eastward, adopting the methods of "divide and rule" and "indirect rule" for the colonies, making use of the original traditional power structure to govern the colonial administration as much as possible, and adopting the "Kapitan system" based on the principle of not changing traditional customs. The original governors (such as landlords and nobles) were given power, and their status was recognized by the colonial government, and they were given coercive power to achieve political control and economic interests. The other races have their own Kapitan.

When the Portuguese occupied Malacca, they established the "Kapitan" system, and the Dutch occupied Malacca and continued to follow the Portuguese system. Jiapitan is a borrowed word from Portuguese, or the local native language of Nanyang, and when it comes to the East, it is called Jialuo, and the headhunters of Taiwan's aboriginal people are called puppets

Li Weijing Zi Hong, alias Jun Chang, was born in Jiaheli (Xiamen) in the 42nd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1614). As a righteous soldier of the Ming Dynasty, Li Weijing drifted across the sea to do business in Malacca, and served as the Chinese Kapitan under the rule of the Dutch colony. During this period, a large area of land in Sanbaoshan was purchased for use as a righteous grave for overseas Chinese

Li Weijing is the same as He Bin, although he is an official under the rule of the Dutch, but he is in Cao Ying's heart in Han, when he heard that the Ming court sent a large army to expel the Dutch red hair, his heart was very happy, but there was also a trace of worry, Li Weijing asked Zheng Zhilong and said: "General, the imperial court sent a large army this time, is it to expel the Dutch red hair will be withdrawn?" ”

Zheng Zhilong was surprised: "Why do you say this? ”

Li Weijing said: "How majestic would it be when the father-in-law of the Three Treasures (Zheng He) went to Nanyang? But later, as soon as our fleet left, those red-haired people came back and took up this treasure of feng shui, looting the money of the natives and our Chinese. If the imperial army drives them away and then withdraws, then in less than half a year, these red hairs will return, and they will definitely take bloody revenge on us and others. We have been operating in Nanyang for several generations, and our family business is in Nanyang, so we are reluctant to leave, so we can only suffer from knives! ”

Li Weijing was worried

Zheng Zhilong listened to Li Weijing's words, and then laughed and said: "You can rest assured, today's imperial court is different from the past, An Guogong and his old man's thoughts are the same as ours, that is, the sea is a cornucopia, and this Nanyang is the cornucopia of the Ming Dynasty, so this time, we not only want to drive away the red-haired devils, but also establish our Ming Dynasty's yamen, and send troops and officials to manage this place." In the future, this territory, this sea, will be the world of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Li Weijing was overjoyed and said: "Then I will mention that hundreds of thousands of Chinese in Nanyang have thanked An Guogong!" ”

Zheng Zhilong said: "General Ben plans to attack Manchurka (Malacca) first, and then Batavia, what do you think?" ”

Li Weijing said: "As far as I know, there are more than 1,000 Dutch red hairs in Manraka, and there are no less than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Johor who are with them, but they are not a bone to gnaw on!" ”

"Johor? What kind of country is this? I've never heard of it! Zheng Zhilong crooked his mouth

Johor was also known as Hu Rong at that time. In the sixth year of Zhengde (1511), the Portuguese occupied Manchuria. King Mahmud of Manraka? The Shah led the army and civilians to move to places such as Bargo and Johor to continue the fight against the Portuguese invasion. In 1528, Ala-Ude-Din succeeded to the throne and continued to resist the Portuguese in Johor. Peace with the Portuguese in 1536. Soon after, Ala-Udeddin officially established the Kingdom of Johor and chose old Johor as the capital. After the establishment of the Kingdom of Johor, it was constantly at war with the rising Kingdom of Aceh on the island of Sumatra, and on the other hand, it continued to be at war with the Portuguese colonists. This war, historically known as the "triangular battle", lasted about a century. In 1587, the Portuguese captured Old Johor. The kingdom moved its capital to Batu Sawa. At the beginning of the 17th century, Dutch and British forces invaded the Malay Peninsula. In the mid-17th century, the conflict between Portugal and the Dutch over the spice trade in Southeast Asia became increasingly acute, and the two sides fought fiercely to expand their respective spheres of influence. The Netherlands united with the Kingdom of Johor to defeat the Portuguese army in Malacca and clear the Portuguese invading forces in the Malay Peninsula, and the Kingdom of Johor became stronger for a time.

Li Weijing said: "Although Johor is a small barbarian country, he can provide food and manpower support for the Dutch red-haired people, so if you want to attack Manchuria, Johor is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed!" ”

Zheng Zhilong said: "But if we fight this Johor country first, won't it be a surprise to the snake?" ”

Li Weijing thought for a while and said: "The largest stronghold of the Dutch red-haired people in the South China Sea is Batavia on the island of Java, in my opinion, we can pretend to attack Manraka, and then lead the Dutch sailors from Batavia to come to the rescue, and we will intercept in the middle of the road!" ”

Zheng Zhilong thought for a while and asked, "How many ships are there in the Dutch Red Hair?" How many cannons? ”

Li Wei thought for a while and said: "There are two large ships, ten medium ships, and more than fifty small ships. Cannons, less than a hundred. I don't know how many warships the general brought? ”

Zheng Zhilong laughed and said, "The so-called biggest stronghold is nothing more than this little belongings? After that, he smiled and asked Shi Daxuan, Liu Guoxuan and others behind him, "Is this enough for you to eat?" ”

Shi Daxuan also laughed and said: "It's not enough for me to stuff my teeth!" ”

●●●●●●

Dutch Governor Anthony? Fan? Dimon was now standing on the vantage point of Batavia overlooking the city. He was second only to the third Dutch Governor of Batavia, Yan? Petersson? Kun's Dutch expansionist colonizer of the Eastern Empire. During his tenure, Dutch canals, castles, town halls, Christ churches, Latin schools and market districts appeared. In 1621, the 15,000 inhabitants of Banda Island were almost wiped out, and the remaining 8oo were taken prisoner as slaves in Batavia. The so-called civilization of Europeans, as soon as it crossed the borders of their own country, immediately evolved into barbarism

In order to enrich the population, the Dutch East India Company began to recruit Chinese in large numbers. In the eyes of Western colonizers, the Chinese were known for being "diligent", "peace-loving", and "cowardly" by nature (the sadness of the Chinese, which continues to this day). Therefore, the Dutch governor lured the Chinese of Banten with high salaries, imposed light taxes on Chinese merchants who moved to Batavia, and rewarded overseas Chinese for attracting their fellow villagers to Batavia. Of course, some unseemly measures have also been adopted, such as the abduction of "migrants" in China's coastal areas. This policy was so successful that Chinese galleons brought in a large number of Chinese immigrants, and once the Chinese acquired assets that enabled them to stand on their own, they settled in Bacheng and intermarried with Balinese women who were sent here as slaves. The overseas Chinese population continues to grow, and most of the overseas Chinese in Bacheng are engaged in commercial activities, from itinerant hawkers to fixed vendors, to retailers and wholesale merchants, forming a complete commercial network. []

Batavia has become more and more prosperous because of the "diligent", "peace-loving" and "cowardly" Chinese

"These pigs~" Anthony scolded disdainfully as he looked at the Chinese who were repairing the city wall

"Report to the Governor!" A Dutch soldier stood up straight and reported to Anthony: "According to reliable information, the Chinese fleet left Borneo the night before yesterday and is heading in the direction of Malacca!" ”

Anthony's face changed drastically: "Are you sure their direction is Malacca?" ”

"There will be no mistake, they passed through the Lion City last night and anchored near the country of Johor, and if they leave early in the morning, they will be in Malacca in two or three hours."

"Hey!" Anthony sighed, "When did this vast and unresponsive empire of natives start caring so much about the ocean?" Anthony said, "Let Griffith lead the fleet to support Malacca!" ”

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

After receiving the order from the governor, Captain Griffith did not dare to slack off, and immediately led the two capital battleships Amsterdam and St. Mary's anchored in the harbor to leave the port. After a day and night of sailing, it finally passed through the Karimata Strait in the early hours of the next morning.

Suddenly, the sentry on the top of the mast shouted: "Colonel, enemy ship, it's an enemy ship!" ”

"Ring the alarm!" Griffith decisively ordered

Bell bell ~~ The alarm bell woke up many sleeping Dutch sailors, and the sudden enemy attack made them a little scrambling. Before all the Dutch sailors were in place, the Ming sailors had already included them in the range of the cannons.

The treasure ship fleet, which had already seized the upper hand, lined up in a "D" battle formation, and the gun doors on the side of the ship were all open. The Dutch saw white smoke coming out of the side of the Ming warship in the distance, and then the cannonballs whistling in front of them. The cannonballs that hit the Dutch ships knocked out a lot of wood chips, and the shells that fell into the sea stirred up a column of water that soared into the sky

The Dutch officers and men on the Amsterdam suddenly felt that their feet were shaking, countless shells fell like raindrops, and the waves set off by the shells rushed towards the Amsterdam, Griffith had already seen several unlucky soldiers on the deck swallowed up by the waves that came over them, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, Griffith himself was also washed by the waves and stood unsteadily, but fortunately he grabbed the barrage in time to not be swept away by the waves.

When the whistling of the shells stopped, Griffith looked around, the Amsterdam seemed to have experienced a storm baptism, the entire deck was in shambles, at least a dozen shells hit the hull of the Amsterdam, but almost all of them flew through the deck or mast, and did not cause much damage to the hull

"It's a miracle!" Griffith stabilized his mind and hurriedly shouted, "What is the gunner doing?" Shoot back, shoot back quickly. ”

The roar of cannons came from the Amsterdam, which had just adjusted its orientation and aimed its side at the Ming fleet, and a total of eighteen guns roared to the front.

After the Amsterdam opened fire, the large and small battleships that followed behind also continued to hear the sound of artillery firing, and the gunners of the Dutch Navy did not bother to check the effect of the shooting, and immediately nervously cleaned the chambers of the guns, began to load the shells, and prepared for the next round of attacks.

On the vast waters of the Karimata Strait, a great battle between the Ming Navy and the Dutch Colonial Navy has begun.

Zheng Zhilong divided his fleet into three teams, and the task of the first team, that is, the treasure ship fleet, was to take advantage of the huge advantage of the hull as much as possible, break through to the middle of the enemy fleet, and then shoot the guns on both sides together to achieve the tactical goal of flowering in the middle. Therefore, the flagship of Gu Sanmazi's treasure fleet, Baochuan No. 3, took the brunt, and the Baochuan No. 4 and other cruisers in the back followed closely behind Baochuan No. 3.

The Dutchman's reaction was also a little faster than Zheng Zhilong expected. The Dutchman's right flank fleet was already prepared, and although the guns were not ready, the Dutch warship St. Mary made a left turn and blocked the momentum of the treasure ship 3 from continuing to rush forward with its not too small hull.

By this time, the other ships had successfully broken into the Dutch naval fleet, cutting the Dutch ship into three pieces.

"Fire!"

As Gu San Mazi's order was issued, the gunners who had already been ready quickly opened fire to attack the enemy ships on both wings.

Boom ~ Boom Boom ~

Baochuan No. 3 fired first, or did the port and port sides fire at the same time. The hot shells instantly burst out with a whimpering whine, and two Dutch galleons less than 200 meters apart on both sides were hit one after another, and almost all of the more than 60 shells hit the target. At such a close distance, the shells easily tore through the hull of the Dutch warship and fired into the ship.

Due to the use of flowering shells, the first to suffer was the Dutch battleship Nafti, which was on the right flank of Treasure Ship 3. The ship was hit by twenty-two shells, bullet holes were all over the right side of the battleship. The flowering shells that entered the hull exploded, the hull was crumpled in an instant, and a huge fire burst out, and then the flames rushed up more than ten meters high with the air flow of the explosion, igniting the high sails and cables. In an instant, the entire warship was from beginning to end. From top to bottom, caught in a sea of fire.

The same was true of the starboard side of the Treasure Ship 3, which suffered the Flanders, which was the seat of Rear Admiral Kotlin, deputy commander of the Dutch fleet. Because of its long hull, the ship was hit more by more shells, a total of 27 shells, and Major Kotnin was killed on the spot. A barrage of flowering shells exploded, tearing the port side of the ship to pieces. A violent shock wave enveloped in debris and flames, mercilessly harvesting nearby lives. The fire spread rapidly through the air of debris and consumed the entire ship in the blink of an eye. The Flanders began to lean to the left helplessly, and the Dutch sailors on board jumped into the sea to flee for their lives.

Almost at the same time that the Hobune No. 3 opened fire, the major sailing ships, Daifuku ships and other ships also opened fire left and right. Suddenly the cannon roared and deafened, muffling the wails of the enemy all over the field. The fire was blazing, and the dull sky was illuminated.

In just two minutes, the treasure fleet carried out five rounds of artillery bombardment, regardless of whether the enemy ship was incapacitated or not, it had to be replenished with shells until the ship was completely engulfed by fire or directly broke and sank

Griffith, who had been in the army for decades and had a lot of experience, still had the idea that he could save the situation at this time, and he understood that if the fleet did not change the current straight line arrangement of the long snake type, it would only be eaten by the enemy on the opposite side, and he yelled desperately: "Quickly pass my order, evacuate the formation, and form a horizontal queue." ”

The smoke from the fire of the ships in front of them had slowly drifted to the Amsterdam, and the flag soldiers on it were desperately waving the flags to pass Griffith's orders, and at the same time the first mate also changed the course of the ships, making them go diagonally, trying to get out of the smoke shroud, otherwise the ships behind would not be able to see the flags, and the whole fleet would lose command.

Zheng Zhilong saw through the telescope that after several rounds of artillery bombardment by the Ming army, the Dutch fleet in front had been completely defeated, and the Dutch fleet behind had opened a distance of thousands of meters from his side, and the sight was blocked by smoke, so there was no point in firing again.

Zheng Zhilong's flagship slowly swept past the location where the Dutch battleship sank, at this time the war was not over, no one would pay attention to the Dutch soldiers in the water, the sea was full of tattered wooden planks, floating corpses, and many slightly larger planks were still alive Dutch native soldiers, they looked numb at the huge fleet advancing on the side, and some people couldn't help but shout for help.

Shi Lang picked up a musket and wanted to shoot at the Dutch soldiers on the driftwood, Shi Daxuan stopped Shi Lang and said with a smile: "Silly boy, don't waste bullets, there are many big mackerel (sharks) in this sea, and they will die in the belly of the fish without a stick of incense!" ”

The Dutch had gained valuable time to adjust their battle formation, so Griffith ordered: "Order the fleet, cut to the left, concentrate all the fleets, and deal with the enemy ships on the left." ”

The two sides adjusted their best angles, the first to fire the Ming army's treasure ship fleet, sixteen battleships fired together, in an instant hundreds of shells flew towards the Dutch fleet, everywhere was a rumbling sound, several Dutch ships had been shot and caught fire, this time both sides lined up in a horizontal formation, there was no difference between front and rear, and several shells also fell near the Amsterdam, and the huge waves set off made Griffith wet all over

Griffith seems to be unconscious, and now he has not yet reached the best firing distance, the Ming army is not necessarily advantageous to fire first, but will expose his firepower, Griffith's heart is more confident, the opponent's artillery is only about 500 to 600, and his own artillery can reach up to 800 on one side, with the previous record of the Netherlands, you can hit the opponent more than 100 at a time, enough to sink several warships of the opponent, out of a bad breath.

Thundered

The second round of artillery bombardment by the Ming army came again, the distance between the two sides was closer, this time the Dutch had a few more ships that were artilliated, Griffith felt a shock under his feet, an unsteady, tall body almost fell on the deck, not far from Griffith, a large hole in the deck extended all the way down. The Amsterdam is a large ship, and it has also been taken care of by the Ming army, and this time in addition to almost missing a bullet, there is also a shell that falls straight on the deck.

Griffith subconsciously lay on the deck, and Griffith's chest was pressed against the deck, and he was really uncomfortable. Some shells were fired into the sea. Lift up a high column of water. The shock wave carried the seawater and poured onto the ship, and the fishy smell was mixed with the smell of gunpowder.

Thankfully, it's not a flowering bomb!

Griffith breathed a sigh of relief, already terrified. If it was a flowering shell, then the shell that had just hit the hull would be enough to send him to God

"Fight back~ Fight back!" Griffith was still delusional about turning the tide of the battle

The flag bearers of the Amsterdam lowered the colored flags, with the Amsterdam as the center, and the Dutch guns spewed out a mouthful of flames one after another, and the first large-scale counterattack of the Dutch fleet finally came.

The waves around the hull of the treasure ship No. 3 were suddenly surging, a large amount of sea water poured into the deck, and there were even a few unlucky sea fish lying on the deck and struggling to jump. In this salvo of the Dutch fleet, at least hundreds of shells were aimed at the treasure ship No. 3. {}

Gu San Mazi heard no less than ten cannonballs hitting the deck or side chord of the treasure ship No. 3, and the moment the cannonballs flew, several of Gu San Mazi's guards lay Gu San Mazi Pu under him, so he was just wet by the seawater.

The wounded soldiers were hurriedly carried to the lower deck for treatment, and the dead soldiers were temporarily put aside, and the gunners on the upper deck of the treasure ship No. 3 were all on the lower deck, and there were not many personnel on the upper deck, although there were many shells in the middle of the shells, only one soldier was killed and six wounded

From the moment the cannonballs were fired, Griffith pointed his telescope at the Treasure Ship 3, and when he saw the shells hit the opponent one after another, Griffith's face smiled, but as soon as the smoke passed, Griffith's eyes jumped out in surprise. I saw that there was not even a single fire point on the treasure ship No. 3, and there seemed to be no hole in the hull. Naturally, the Treasure Ship 3 was built with a large number of steel ribs, and later covered the hull with iron armor, which greatly improved the durability of the hull. The Dutch's shells tickled like boots

Before Griffith was surprised, he saw smoke coming out of the gun door of the Ming Treasure Ship No. 3 again, which was the Ming warship firing again. Accompanied by the characteristic thumping sound of a grenade shotgun. Eighteen kilograms of loose steel balls burst out of the barrel. Suddenly, a cone, with an area of several tens of meters wide, was formed, enveloping the enemy ships approaching on the opposite side.

Griffith was stunned when a whooshing sound came from the sky, and Griffith didn't have time to react, and a dozen steel balls hit Griffith's chest, lower abdomen, and face mercilessly. There were several powerful shots that pierced his body directly. Griffith howled in pain and tried to dodge

I only heard a thud, and a steel ball shot into his left eye, popping out from the back of his head, **mixed with this blood sprayed on the face of the minions behind him. Griffith fell backwards unwillingly, and happened to see the first mate who was squatting next to the wooden box, trembling with fear, and was immediately frightened and helpless

The overwhelming shrapnel suddenly quieted the Dutch on the Amsterdam, but then it turned into the wailing of a crying father and a mother. The shrapnel was not very destructive to the battleship itself, but the lethality to the deck crew was unprecedented. Most of the Dutch sailors did not have time to dodge and were shot one after another, suffering heavy casualties. Especially the helmsmen of the warships, who were so busy controlling the steering wheels and sails that they could not dodge. One of the helmsmen was injured and threw himself to the ground, and the moment he fell to the ground, he deflected the rudder controller in his hand, sending the Amsterdam to the right full rudder.

Fortunately, the Amsterdam suddenly deviated from course and collided with each other. Two Spanish galleons were violently rammed by the Amsterdam, causing their hulls to break. The sea water immediately poured into it violently, and the hull began to sink rapidly.

The Dutch fleet, having lost its commander, was suddenly plunged into deadly chaos

When Zheng Zhilong led the fleet to the Batavian sea, none of the Dutch warships parked in the harbor dared to fight, so Zheng Zhilong led the Ming naval army to swagger and board the beach in Batavia.6

As soon as he landed ashore, a soldier reported that Li Weijing had come to ask for a meeting

Zheng Zhilong was taken aback when he saw Li Weijing, "Brother Li, why do you look like this?" I saw that Li Weijing's head was scattered, his clothes were untidy, and there were a lot of dried blood stains on his body

"It's too miserable~~ It's too miserable!" When Li Weijing saw Zheng Zhilong, he immediately cried bitterly

"Brother Li, don't be in a hurry to cry first~ You are talking!" Zheng Zhilong hurriedly asked

Li Weijing still howled for a while before he choked up and said: "Since I returned to Java from Borneo, I have begun to prepare for the major events of the uprising. But somehow, the Dutch heard the news, and in the name of searching for weapons, they ordered the overseas Chinese in the city to hand over all sharp weapons, and the red-haired ghosts searched for overseas Chinese from house to house, regardless of men, women, and children, and killed them when they were caught, and carried out bloody looting of our Chinese people. The massacre lasted for seven days, nearly 10,000 overseas Chinese in the city were killed, only 15o people escaped, 6 to 700 houses of overseas Chinese were burned and looted, and the property losses were incalculable. The overseas Chinese outside the city, under the command of several of our Kapitans, fought fiercely with the Dutch army, suffering more than 1,000 casualties. ”

"Damn red-haired ghost!" Zheng Zhilong pushed Li Weijing away, and pulled out the Yanling knife with a bang, "Where are the generals?" ”

"The last general!" Shi Daxuan, Liu Guoxuan and others who were present were also furious when they heard Li Weijing's crying

Shi Lang said angrily: "The Francophone people killed my Chinese people in Luzon, and the Dutch red hair killed my Chinese people in Java, could it be that my Ming people are born cheap and slaughtered?" Vow to pay with blood! ”

At this time, Gan Hui interjected and asked, "Brother Li, did the red-haired people drive the local natives to kill my Huamin?" ”

"Yes~" Li Weijing wiped his tears and said, "Those natives are stupid and lazy by nature, and they are jealous of my Chinese people's hard work and prosperity, so they are more ruthless than the red-haired ghost who killed my Chinese people." ”

"These students~" Zheng Zhilong scolded: "Then let's also learn from An Guogong's method of attacking Luzon and use the natives as pioneers." ”

So, the scene that appeared in Manila was repeated in Batavia, the natives in Java were terrified, they dared to rob and kill the Chinese in the massacre, just because they had the support of the Dutch, and now the army of the Ming Dynasty came, and these natives who came down from the trees for a few days were suddenly frightened.

So, driven by the guns of the Ming army, these natives who should have killed a thousand knives rushed to Batavia with weapons stained with the blood of the Chinese people, and fought with the natives who were employed by the Dutch. The fierce battle lasted seven days and seven nights, and the corpses of the natives were strewn in and around the city of Batavia. Until the ninth day, the governor of Batavia, Anthony? Fan? Dimon led more than 100 Dutch soldiers and more than 1,000 civilians who were not yet dead to surrender to Zheng Zhilong

Zheng Zhilong used the cheap power given by Li Long to behead all the surrendered Dutch red hairs by the Red Creek where the Dutch slaughtered the Chinese people, and also dug up their hearts and livers to sacrifice the dead Chinese people. Subsequently, Zheng Zhilong aimed his cannon at the Dutch remnant in Malacca.

Li Long appointed Li as the governor of Southeast Asia as the secretary of state of Jing Zhou, and the throne was above the kings, and the king was virtually useless. The real power is in the hands of Li Weijing. Zhou Guoqing was the governor of the South China Sea, and set up Luzon Province and Malaysia Province. Inky Mud. Zhou Guoqing served as the governor-general.

In May of the same year, Li Long returned to Beijing to report on his work.
