Chapter 636: Master Wang arrives
As a thousand-year-old-stirring stick, the British are very competent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoββ, the war is divided into light and dark, and on the table, it is Ming Ruxin who leads a huge fleet to the south and fights to the death with the Westerners. And secretly Zhang Ke has already started the division and disintegration of Westerners.
Among the Western countries, the Netherlands stole Malacca, and Portugal and Spain had colonies, and they felt the most threatened, and these three countries contributed the most.
France and Britain were both up-and-comers, and they were also actively expanding their colonies, but they had not yet extended their hands to the Far East, and they and the Netherlands and other countries were only united on the basis that everyone was Western.
Since ancient times, alliances without interests and only morality are fragile. In fact, Britain and France have long had opinions on the Netherlands and other countries, and the Netherlands and other countries are not strong, but they occupy a geographical advantage, preemptively open up shipping routes, and enjoy the benefits of the great voyage, compared to fists, such as Britain and France. Since the national strength is inferior, why should it occupy so many benefits, and if you don't have the strength to swallow it, you have to spit it out.
The law of the jungle, the law of the jungle, has never changed.
Zhang Ke sent missionaries as representatives to India and connected with the British East India Company. Zhang Ke promised the British the right to free trade, especially as the domestic demand for wool increased, Zhang Ke took out two million taels of silver to order wool from the British.
You must know that Britain is carrying out a sheep cannibalism enclosure movement at this time, the aristocracy has a lot of land in their hands, and the sheep are also increasing rapidly, although Britain also has textile factories, but how to compare the demand with China, especially the price is more than thirty percent higher. Moreover, Zhang Ke also assured that as long as Britain guaranteed proper neutrality, larger purchase orders would be sent immediately.
With Zhang Ke's assurance, the British were finally moved, but the British governor Berg was full of cunning, he did not betray the Netherlands at the beginning, but wanted to move when he heard the wind.
Since the beginning of the war, the performance of the Chinese fleet has surprised the British. The Eastern Navy is not badly equipped, and the morale is even higher. Even if it's a victory, it's just a victory.
The heritage of China is not comparable to them, especially the appearance of ironclad ships, which makes the battle less suspenseful.
"Retreat!"
Without saying hello, the five British battleships suddenly turned around and broke away from the coalition fleet.
Due to the hasty turn, a Dutch patrol boat was also knocked over, and more than a dozen sailors struggled desperately in the sea to ask for help. The British didn't even look at it and waved a neutral flag. quickly left the battlefield, leaving behind a stunned figure.
The British decisively fled, and the most angry was not the Dutch, but the commander of the French fleet, Rear Admiral Kaul.
In fact, Zhang Ke first came into contact with the French, but the braincase of Gaulic chickens, like their children and grandchildren, has a bit of playful genes. They even said that they would stand with their brothers in the West and would definitely not cooperate with infidels.
The oath is still in the ear. When it came time for the real war, Kaul began to mumble again. It makes no sense why the great French gave their lives to the despicable Dutch!
When he saw the British fleeing, Kaul was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded.
"Damn the British, vile and shameless. Stab in the back. You, you wait, see if I don't catch up with you, kick your ass hard! β
Kaul hurriedly ordered. Six French warships were also withdrawn. However, they were slow, and the Chinese fleet was already surrounded from all sides, and the cannon roared on the sea. More and more Dutch warships were injured and caught fire, and warships continued to sink to the bottom of the sea.
As Kaul fled, two large Eastern warships spewed flames. Kaul kept scolding, he ordered the ship to turn around, and it happened that two Dutch warships were in the way, Kaul gritted his teeth and ordered the cannon to be fired!
This scene was seen by the soldiers on the warship, and they were dumbfounded, it was really a Western devil, and they actually beat up their own people, what are you polite!
"Fight, fight to the death!"
The sailors stripped off their arms and carried shells in the sweltering cabin, and because of the continuous firing, the thick barrels of the guns were turned into furnaces, scorching everyone as if they were about to drain their bodies.
Fighting selflessly, finally, under the cover of dusk, the first white flag appeared in the Dutch fleet.
A battered warship was the first to surrender, followed by one after another, with striking white flags fluttering on the sea.
Half an hour earlier, the Dutch commander Arturses had been attacked when a rocket exploded on the deck and one of Seth's arms was blown off.
The weak body made Seth dare not hope for victory at all, if it fell into the hands of the Easterners, what would happen to him, Seth muttered to himself: "They will cut off the heads of all the cultists and pile up human heads into small mountains, they are a group of devils, I don't want to fall into their hands, don't, don't!" β
Seth screamed frantically and had him tied to the mast, and as more shells hit, the flagship poured into a flood of seawater, the bow almost level with the sea.
Rumble!
The warship cracked in the middle, like two bricks, and quickly sank to the bottom of the sea, and Seth was destroyed with his fleet with intense terror.
The battle did not end until the early hours of the next day, and the hardest ironclad ships were less than twenty nautical miles from Malacca.
In this battle, 15 battleships were sunk and 8 were damaged, more than 50 other warships were destroyed, and the Western navy in its early 10,000s was wiped out. In the Far East, the colonizers of the West were almost completely lost, and they no longer had the strength to compete with the East.
Similarly, it was not easy for Ming Ruxin to win, and the eight battleships in front and behind were silent, including the Liaodong, and there were more than 20 wounded battleships. What's even worse is that an ironclad ship has a power problem and has become an iron coffin at sea. After some weighing, I had to reluctantly blow it up.
Whatever one may say, victory belongs to the East, to every soldier.
On the one hand, Ming Ruxin asked the emperor to report the victory with the fastest ships, and on the other hand, he led the fleet to Malacca.
Struck while the iron was hot, losing the navy, Malacca became vulnerable. The choke point of the sea, the gateway of east-west commerce, the navy has long coveted it. If you don't grab it at this time, I'm sorry to God. After a short rest, Ming Ruxin immediately headed for a new goal.
Malacca, Chen House.
Chen Shounian sat quietly on the Taishi chair, staring blankly ahead, if he looked closely, his pupils were at a loss, and he couldn't find any focus.
With the outbreak of the Malacca incident, the Dutch completely tore off their disguise. Discarding the mask of hypocrisy, they took the captured Han Chinese to the beach to be executed, and every day there were deaths, attracting large numbers of sharks to the shallow sea to grab food. Watching the beasts devour human limbs, the Dutchman, instead of being merciful, pointed and took it as a joke.
For those Han Chinese, who did not dare to resist, they were not relentless, and increased their taxes three times in one go, forcing them to pay for the expedition of the fleet. A little skeptical. They went and robbed the property, put the people in the black prison, and left themselves to fend for themselves.
Chen Shounian was extremely resentful, but he still had a trace of luck, after all, his wife was Dutch, and for the sake of affection, the Dutch would not touch him.
This confidence was shattered three days ago, when his youngest daughter went out to make incense and was captured by the Dutch. The wife rushed to the rescue and did not return. Unprecedented fear haunted Chen Shounian's heart, and his intuition told him that the two of them were only afraid of more evil and less lucky.
Just when he was stunned. Suddenly, Jia Ding hurriedly ran in, holding two tattered clothes in his hands, and sent them to Chen Shounian.
"This, isn't this Miss and Madame's? How is it in your hands? β
Chen Shounian recognized it at a glance. The family immediately howled and wept bitterly.
"Sir, when the Dutch devil kills a person, he will bring a piece of clothing. Madame can't go down anymore. Chen Shounian was like being struck by lightning, and the whole person became stupid.
Dead, dead at the hands of the Dutch!
Chen Shounian once thought that the most hateful court was the Ming Dynasty, and every official was insatiable, eager to knock on the bones and suck the marrow, forcing him to leave his hometown and become an outcast of the Celestial Empire.
In comparison, those Westerners are simple and intuitive, easy to coax, and pay attention to contracts, relying on cooperation with Westerners, he has accumulated a huge family business, and even took the initiative to join the foreigners' teaching.
Until now, in the face of two torn and filthy clothes, Chen Shounian finally saw clearly that a beast is a beast after all, and it will never become a human!
The clothes were torn to shreds and stained with dark red blood, and Chen Shounian could even imagine how inhumane his wife and daughter were treated and how they struggled to the death before they died.
How they wished they could save them and drive out the hateful Dutch.
Syllable!
Chen Shounian gave himself a mouthful, blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth, he was like a wounded beast, crying and crying, crying helplessly!
"Dutchman, Dutchman, I am inseparable from you!"
Just as he was yelling angrily, suddenly the eldest son hurried in.
"Dad, the Dutch soldiers outside have all run away."
"Ran away? What tricks are they going to play? Chen Shounian instinctively reacted that there should be some conspiracy among the Dutch.
"Tell your family, be careful, we can't die anymore!"
The Chen family was waiting cautiously, and it seemed that in the next minute the fierce Dutch would rush in and kill them all, their heads strung together and hung high on the flagpole.
Rumble!
A loud bang broke the silence, Chen Shounian stood up suddenly, and asked in surprise, "What's the matter?" β
"Dad, you wait, I'll take a look!"
The eldest son ran out of the hall, and as soon as he went out, the sound of cannons came one after another, and the ground under his feet seemed to tremble, and everyone held their breath, and did not even dare to open their mouths, for fear of beating their hearts out.
Finally, the boss of the Chen family ran in from outside.
"Dad, someone's calling!"
"What? What did you say? β
The boss of the Chen family took a breath and said word by word: "Dad, I heard that it is the heaven-dynasty-army-team, and the killing is coming, and the red-haired devils are running around!" β
When Chang Chang, the crutch in Chen Shounian's hand fell to the ground, he stood stunned, his body stiffened, and the old tears couldn't stop flowing out.
"It's coming, it's really coming!"
The people of the Chen family are all overjoyed, let's fight, beat hard, kill all the red-haired devils, and leave no one behind!
They've been doing evil for a long time, and they should die!
"Dad, did you hear it, there is chaos in the city, I think someone has rebelled." The boss of the Chen family said excitedly: "Dad, do we want to do it?" β
"Yes, why not!" Chen Shounian suddenly woke up like a dream, and shouted loudly: "Go, tell all the family members, pick up the guys, and fight with the red-haired devil!" β
The sound of cannons is the clarion call for battle, waking up every Han people in the city. They have had enough, and for thousands of years, the Han people have traveled back and forth between the South Seas, doing business and living, and have always been peaceful. Until these hateful foreigners, they came with killing, how many unjust souls have come to them for their lives in the past few decades, and how many debts have to be paid!
"Kill! Kill them! β
The people spontaneously organized themselves and laid siege to the Dutch with the most rudimentary weapons. As for the Dutch soldiers at this time, they had already heard the news of the defeat of the navy, and they were immediately disheartened and did not dare to fight anymore. Many people secretly packed their bags and tried to escape.
At this time, the huge fleet came, and all the open seas were blocked, and the black cannons were aimed at them. The sound of artillery was earth-shattering, and the remaining ships of the Dutch were wiped out one by one, and they had become trapped beasts.
As the first shells entered the city, the battle finally began, and the soldiers rushed to the beach and rushed towards the city with waist-deep water.
The Dutch along the way only knew how to escape, and did not have the courage to face the battle.
In this way, the soldiers rushed into Malacca, and the people of the city fell to their knees by the roadside, shouting and kowtowing, as happy as children.
The old people burst into tears and cried: "Master Wang is here, we finally see Master Wang!" β
"The king is here, we are not outcasts of the Celestial Empire!"
"The Celestial Empire has not abandoned us, and we must not bear the Celestial Empire!"
β¦β¦
After all, the Dutch had only been colonized for a few decades, and the population was only a pitiful five percent, and with the collapse of the navy, they were like dogs with a broken backbone, lying on the ground and waiting to die.
Ming Ruxin barely did anything, he just had to watch quietly.
The enraged people took the Dutch captive and took them to the seashore, and the stones, which had been stained with the blood of the Han Chinese, were dyed red again, this time with the blood of the colonists!
After taking control of Malacca, Ming Ruxin did not give up, but continued to wave his army to the north and south, and the first to choose to surrender was Siam, as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, I heard that the fleet of the Celestial Empire defeated the Westerners, without saying a word, the old king was sent by the eldest son, and brought ten ships of tribute, and went to congratulate the new emperor His Majesty.
Then there was Annam, which was still a country with some combat power in comparison, but when the huge fleet roared, they also surrendered.
Sumatra, Srivijaya, Burma, one after the other, all sent emissaries and happily paid tribute to the Celestial Empire, as if gold had been discovered. It's just that they don't know that the Celestial Empire is different now, and they will no longer do loss-making transactions.
After Ming Ruxin arrived in various places, he first announced that all Han people living in Nanyang countries enjoyed extraterritoriality, and all countries had no right to sentence.
No matter where you go, the powerful Wang Shi will always be the solid backing of every Han person! (To be continued.) )
