The South Sea Fleet sent by the Royal Navy sailed against the wind to the vicinity of Java Island, causing great trouble to the Dutch trade in Asia.

A pair of fifteen merchant ships sailed out of the port of Batavia and were about to trade in the Indochina Peninsula when they were blocked by the South Sea Fleet sent by the Royal Navy. Fifteen merchant ships failed to make it all, and all of them were captured by the Royal Navy.

These fifteen merchant ships were worth a lot of money, and they were also loaded with goods, as well as silver, gold and other precious metals used for trade.

The fleet then landed only fifty kilometers from the city of Batavia, where it began to set up barracks, where more than 3,000 marines carried supplies ashore and then held the camp.

After the battle for Luzon with the Spaniards, the Marines had a better understanding of the urine of European colonizers. These colonists generally did not have many troops, and the Dutch had only a few thousand troops in Batavia.

For a company, it is very good to be able to organize such a large number of troops. However, the Dutch East India Company was facing the power of a nation, and it was faced with the Ming Marines, who were already familiar with the tropical rainy season climate.

The Dutch were shocked by the sudden landing of the marines. Later, in order to destroy this military camp and drive the Ming army into the sea, these Dutch began to frantically gather indigenous soldiers and attack the Ming army's military camp one after another.

However, the marines were armed with a large number of guns, and the natives were scattered by the artillery before they could rush up, even if the Dutch were in the presence of the overseers. Even if it is to drive these natives to the Ming army. It's simply the cannon slag of the cannon slag. There was no real threat to the Ming army at all.

A few days later, these marines also launched a counteroffensive against the Dutch, and drove the Dutch into the city of Batavia in one fell swoop, these Dutch did not have an advantage in terms of strength at all, and naturally did not dare to play with the Ming army head-on 'line up to shoot', fortunately it was the rainy season at this time, and the Ming army returned to the barracks after the counterattack, and continued to strengthen the fortifications.

This bridgehead has already been built. The follow-up Ming army could land smoothly and attack Batavia until the rainy season was over.

And the sea traffic of the Dutch was seriously harassed by the Royal Navy, and during the day the Dutch ships did not dare to go to sea at all. The bay may encounter the gunboats of the Royal Navy at any time, and after the Dutch lost several naval battles, the replenishment speed of naval forces could not keep up, and the naval strength of the Ming Royal Fleet increased wildly, which had formed a crushing situation for the Dutch.

The Dutch ships could only leave the port at night, but there was little point in leaving the port. At this time, the Dutch were only stubbornly resisting, and the governor of Batavia knew very well in his heart. Even if you can survive this time, you won't be able to survive next time.

The gap in naval forces between the two sides is too great. Sooner or later they will be consumed to death, and the Spaniards are the best example of this. After the Philippine colony occupied by the Spanish was captured by the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch in Batavia were already shocked.

At this time, in the city of Batavia, the Dutch were already in a state of fear.

"I heard that after Manila was conquered by the great empire of the East, the Spanish governors and officers were all hanged by order of the monarch of this country."

"Yes, I've heard that the bodies were hung on crosses...... a group of Dutch soldiers whispered, and one Dutch soldier hesitated, "They don't seem to have a cross." ”

With or without a cross, with or without a hanging, the Spaniards had their heads cut off.

The Governor of Batavia was very clear about this, and the newspapers of the Ming Dynasty had already sent out the news, and they had obtained clear news from Li Dan. At this time, the army of the Ming Dynasty was overwhelming, and the governor of Batavia was also in deep fear.

Is it possible to surrender and evacuate?

The idea came to mind, and soon the governor of Batavia sent an envoy to the camp of the Ming army and began negotiations with the Ming army.

The negotiations went surprisingly well, and the Ming navy allowed them to surrender and could let them return safely to the Dutch mainland by boat.

The premise is that no damage can be done to the facilities in Batavia at the time of surrender.

The governor of Batavia, if granted amnesty, announced the day after the news was confirmed that an agreement had been reached with the Ming army that they could be evacuated, a decision supported by the other Dutch.

The Dutch had not massacred the Han Chinese at this time, so as long as they were willing to evacuate Java and withdraw from East Asia, there was no reason to refuse their withdrawal, which would save a lot of military spending.

The Ming army landed on Java Island, and had already charged to show their determination to take Java Island, the East India Company was a profit-oriented company, and the Ming navy's blockade of Batavia's shipping made them unbearable. Rather than losing all your money, it is better to evacuate from Java Island, which can also reduce the loss of people, ships, property, etc.

The Ming returned to the sea, and after defeating the Spaniards, they had accumulated a strong deterrent, and the Dutch no longer had the courage to continue to resist.

After the two sides reached an agreement, the evacuation of the Dutch went very smoothly. They took everything they could take with them, and left what they couldn't take to the Ming army, and kept the agreement without sabotage, and when the Dutch evacuated the port of Batavia with a full load, the Ming army also successfully took over the city built by the Dutch.

The local indigenous rulers hurriedly came up and knelt down to lick, they were going to change their masters, and the Ming army that had just occupied Jawa Island did not attack these indigenous rulers, but asked them to cooperate in restoring order, and took over all the plantations, minerals, shipyards and other assets left by the Dutch, and reported the situation to the imperial court.

The Dutch left Java, and their power had officially withdrawn from East Asia. At this time, in East Asia, only the Portuguese were left as a European power.

Soon after, the Portuguese learned the news and were still glad that they had a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty. It's just that they soon received an unreasonable request from the Ming Navy.

After Sun Yiguo learned that the vanguard sent to Java Island had scared the Dutch away, he simply sent a diplomatic letter to the Portuguese, asking the Portuguese to hand over the city of Malacca to the Ming Dynasty.

The Portuguese wanted to refuse, but they did not have any confidence to refuse the Ming Dynasty's request, at this time Spain and the Netherlands were driven out of East Asia by the Ming Dynasty one after another, Portugal is a big country, so a few warships did not dare to compete with the Ming Royal Navy.
