Due to the blockade of the Sunda Strait and the protection of the sea lines of communication to the main island of Java, the Eastern Tianzhu Naval Division was actually in a state of division of troops, and the detachment that went to escort the Savu Sea consisted of only six cruiser detachments and four cruiser detachments, totaling 28 warships and 24 letter ships, which could be described as limited in strength.

Fortunately, the strength of the Dutch Javanese fleet is not strong, including the two forty-gun warships and three armed merchant ships that received the surviving naval battle in the Sulawesi Sea, the main warships of the Dutch army are only 28 like the Xia army, but the number of armed merchant ships is as many as 34, which is ten more than the Xia army's letter ships, which is slightly superior, but the number of gunboats on the key battle line is less than two-thirds of the Xia army's cruisers, so the two sides are actually evenly matched.

Since it was evenly matched, the battle was quite motivating. Although the Dutch army has no way out, the Xia army does not want to let his colleagues concentrate on the front, both sides have played their best level at this stage, everywhere is the sky-high water column and thick gunsmoke, the whole sea is like the milk sea that has been stirred up by the gods and asuras in Hindu mythology, full of deadly threats.

Vice Admiral Landson, who learned about the tactics of the Xia army from the survivors of the naval battle in the Sulawesi Sea, quickly divided the entire fleet into two parts, the battle fleet and the auxiliary fleet, and faced the Xia army separately, hoping to use the superior auxiliary fleet to win while his main force contained the main force of the Xia army. However, Vice Admiral Landson obviously did not expect that although the Dutch armed merchant ships once suppressed the Xia army's letter ships in number, the Xia army still relied on the hull and faster ships that were far stronger than the Dutch armed merchant ships. As a result, the Dutch armed merchant ships could not gain a real upper hand for a while.

By the end of the day, seven of the 34 armed merchant ships of the Dutch army had been sunk, six were burned, four were severely damaged, and more than 1,000 sailors were killed or wounded. On the Xia army's side, 14 letter ships were damaged and sunk, and nearly 900 sailors were killed or wounded; It can be said that both sides are bleeding.

The light ships of the two sides continued to fight regardless of whether they were high or low, but the battle between the main warships had a result.

By the beginning of the day, the main fleet of the Xia army had lost one cruiser of the fourth class, six cruisers, and one cruiser of the third class and four cruisers were severely damaged, and more than 2,100 officers and men were killed or wounded. The Dutch lost two battleline gunboats and four small battleships, while another battleline gunboat and seven small battleships suffered heavy losses, killing and wounding more than 2,400 sailors.

However, the number of gunboats on the Dutch battle line was limited, and the loss of three ships was equivalent to the loss of more than one-third of the combat power, while the Xia army still had ten ships to fight after losing two cruisers, so it was not damaged in the overall situation; Moreover, after important ports such as Batavia and Surabaya were lost or blocked, the damaged ships of the Dutch army could not be overhauled, and the losses were almost irreparable; Therefore, from a strategic point of view, the Dutch army has been completely defeated.

Fortunately, the sun had set below sea level at this time, and the two sides could not continue to fight, so Lieutenant General Landson was able to escape by night. As for the Xia army, which suffered the same severe losses, it was unable to continue the pursuit for a while, so it only sent a patrol ship in good condition to report the situation to the main force of the naval division on the front line of the Sunda Strait, and the rest of the repairs that could be repaired on the spot were repaired on the spot, and those that could not be repaired on the spot, so they had to stagger and drive directly to the Portuguese Timor Island to rest and recuperate with the wounded. Thinking about it, the Portuguese would never dare to refuse the entry of the Xia Army's naval division as they did to reject the Dutch.

To be honest, at this point, the United East India Company was one step away from complete defeat. It's just that the Dutch don't dare to admit defeat, because once they admit defeat, the entire United East India Company will inevitably be wiped out by bankruptcy, so they can only grit their teeth and persevere, seeking a chance to turn the tables around.

It is a pity that the opportunity to turn the tables did not appear, but the fatal blow came one after another - Chang Tianyuan, who learned the result of the naval battle of the Savou Sea, decisively led the escort fleet of the Western Front to cross the Sunda Strait and go straight to Chilaza, blocking the Dutch Javanese fleet that had just entered the port in one fell swoop. Although Vice Admiral Landson took several risks to organize a fleet breakout, he was always blocked in the harbor by the Xia army, and instead lost two battleline gunboats and six armed merchant ships.

The Dutch fleet, which could not break through, had to use limited shore defense artillery fire to block the Xia army, hoping to keep the ships in the harbor, if, for the sake of preserving the warships, Chang Tianyuan did not directly shell the port. However, the Dutch's delaying tactics soon came to naught with the arrival of the Xia rocket ships, which were difficult to deal with pure stone buildings, but extremely lethal against wooden ships, and after a lively fireworks display, all the remaining Dutch ships exploded and burst into flames, and the docks and port facilities of the port of Chiraza were reduced to ashes.

Although the Xia army did not send further sailors to climb the 6, after the grand fireworks display, the will of General Landson and the Dutch army to resist collapsed. Under the condition that the envoys of the Xia army persuaded them to surrender and agreed not to kill those who surrendered, the remaining more than 900 Dutch sailors under General Landson and more than 800 Dutch garrisons surrendered to Chang Tianyuan without hesitation. Later, the captured Lieutenant General Landsheng was transported back to Batavia to persuade the council and governor of the city to surrender again on behalf of China.

The news of the destruction of the Spice Islands fleet and the Javanese fleet shocked the whole of Batavia like a bolt from the blue, this is a full 120 ships, the entire United East India Company is only 200 ships, and now 60% is gone, even if the East Indies can be saved, the bankruptcy of the United East India Company is just around the corner, not to mention, after the loss of the fleet, foreign aid is interrupted, and it is impossible for the fortresses to hold on.

With such an understanding, while mourning, the upper echelons have to think about their future. Bankruptcy is, of course, terrible, but it is the property of the company, that is, the property of the Committee of Seventeen, not its own, and it is naturally a pity to lose it. And bankruptcy is not the most terrible, what is terrible is that there is no chance to make a comeback after bankruptcy, that is, it is completely sunk. With this in mind, people are thinking more about how to save their lives so that they can make a comeback in the future.

On the seventh day of the sixth month of the sixteenth year of Wucheng (1714 in the Western calendar), the governor of Batavia and the council proposed a precondition for surrender to Huaxia on the grounds of preserving personal property. In this regard, the Dadu Lin Geng, who had already rushed to Batavia from Lingyamen, flatly refused, and only allowed each Dutch to keep 300 guilders of property, and the rest was to be used as compensation for the military expenses of China, and at the same time demanded that the Batavia Council promise to hand over the whole island of Shilan and the commercial strongholds of Plicat and Sadras in the East Indies, as well as Dutch Australia.

The Batavian Council considered that after the loss of the East Indies, Sri Lanka, like Plicat and Sadras, and Dutch Australia, could not be retained, and that the four territories could be given to Huaxia as part of the reparations, but that Huaxia could not then completely break off the Xia-Dutch trade, and at the same time hoped to increase the share of property retained by each person.

Lin Geng was aware of the imperial court's desire to continue trading after seizing the territory, so he readily agreed to the Dutch's bargaining, but firmly resisted the Dutch's desire to keep more personal property. At this time, the Xia army, which had conquered the Dutch forts in various places, gradually returned to Batavia, and Lin Geng, who was victorious, issued an ultimatum to the Dutch, demanding that they open the city before noon on June 15, and that failure to do so would be regarded as a refusal to surrender.

Under the persecution of Lin Geng, the Batavia side finally reluctantly accepted the ultimatum.

On the morning of June 15, the Batavian defenders drove out of the city and formally surrendered to Liu Wenlai. Subsequently, the two sides signed the Treaty of Coconut City, formally ceding the Dutch East Indies, Dutch Sri Lanka, Dutch Australia, and Dutch Indian trading stations to China. The Chinese side guaranteed that once it received Xilan and other places, it would send ships to transport Dutch people (excluding German mercenaries) from all over the East Indies to Xilan, and then Dutch ships from Xilan and other places would transport them back to China, and allow the Dutch side to continue to trade with China in Colombo, Matara, and other treaty ports in the future.

Thereafter, between June and August of the 16th year of the reign of Wucheng of Huaxia, the Dutch fortresses that were still holding on to the East Indies surrendered one after another after receiving orders from Batavia; At the beginning of August, the merchant houses of Plicutt and Sadras, under the threat of Xia warships appearing on the ocean, announced that they would accept Batavia's order to hand over all assets except merchant ships to Huaxia.

At the beginning of September, the Xia army marched to 6 fine orchids, and the Jaffna side finally had to agree to hand over the entire fine orchid to Huaxia, so that the Xia-Dutch war ended, and China not only expelled the Dutch United East India Company from the East Indies and East India, but also opened the door to the southern abbot 6.

The outcome of the Xia-Dutch War greatly shocked the East India Company of European countries, making them full of fear of the Chinese Empire that showed its fangs, but the focus of China's development soon shifted to the abbot 6 and many islands in the Pacific, and did not further monopolize Indian trade, which made Portugal, France, Denmark, Sweden and other European countries relatively friendly to China breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the British were not so relaxed, and the British East India Company, which was afraid that Huaxia would completely cut off Sino-British trade and attack Calcutta, Madras and other places, hurriedly removed Denver and others, and sent senior directors from the Mumbai jurisdiction to Huaxia to apologize. In order to prevent France from gaining a large profit in Sino-European trade, the Chinese court finally accepted the British and issued a huge fine of 40,000 pounds.

The British, who had limited strength in the East, had to swallow their anger and accept the fine, and secretly vowed revenge, but they were forced to endure it for the time being due to the rising Chinese situation, but the Sino-British war was foreshadowed??????
