"Bang bang bang!"

Inside the castle, sporadic gunshots rang out.

When the civil and military officials heard the news, they came to the north city wall to check.

Liu Hanyi asked, "What are the Dutch doing?" ”

A lookout, who had just come down from a hot air balloon, pointed in the direction of the castle and said, "The location of the Dutch governor's palace has been heard all the time. At first there were sporadic sounds, then they became denser, then they became sparse again, and they had lasted for more than ten minutes. The defenders of the enemy's four fortresses were heading towards the governor's palace one after another. ”

This is the role of a hot air balloon, and if you look at it from the city walls, you will never be able to see it so clearly.

"Enemy forces are fighting in the house?" Liu Hanyi wondered.

Deputy envoy Sun Jue asked: "Is the enemy army using a plan to induce us to attack, and then take us by surprise?" ”

"I'll go up and have a look!" Zhang Xianzhong said.

Soon, Zhang Xianzhong also got into the hot air balloon and picked up the clairvoyant mirror to observe carefully.

Due to the obstruction of the building, it is difficult for outsiders to see what is going on inside the castle.

Fortunately, the Doge's Palace was built quite high, and Dutch soldiers could be faintly seen, hiding on the roof of the Doge's Palace, and shooting continuously outside the Doge's Palace. Similarly, there were soldiers outside the Governor's Palace, firing their guns inside, and from time to time bullets left marks on the outer walls.

And outside the Governor's Palace, it seems that there is more than one force, and they are also firing at each other.

Zhang Xianzhong said to the flag commander: "Wave the flag and gather troops to attack!" ”

It was impossible for the flag commander to listen to Zhang Xianzhong, but he admired Zhang Xianzhong a lot, and chose to execute half of it, waving the flag order to gather soldiers.

Liu Hanyi couldn't understand Ling Qi and asked, "What did you say on the hot air balloon?" ”

Tiehong explained: "Gather troops. ”

Liu Hanyi was overjoyed: "Zhang Cun has been on the battlefield for a long time, he will definitely not be mistaken, quickly gather troops and prepare to attack the castle!" ”

Zhang Xianzhong slipped down from the hot air balloon and said impatiently: "I can't wait, count as much as you gather, and immediately go over to attack the city." This opportunity must be seized, and the enemy must not be allowed to quell the civil strife! ”

Tie Hong immediately said: "The soldiers here, half of you and me, will go to fight the nearest southeast corner fortress." I will attack the southwest side of the fortress, and you will attack the southeast side of the fortress. Yu Zhan, you continue to gather troops, depending on the situation, choose which side to support. ”

"Yes!"

The deputy general received the order in Zhan.

Planks, rafts and ladders have been stationed in the northern city district, and at this moment the soldiers rushed out of the city gate when they lifted them.

The Datong Army, the Ronin, and the Han Rebels were all crossing the river, and the Dutch defenders in the forts were still hesitating to open fire. Because their commanders are attacking each other around the governor's palace, some people want to rebel and capture the governor, and some people want to calm the chaos and protect the governor, and there are no officers in the fortress for the time being.

Even if there is no commander, the first reaction of the defenders should be to open fire.

The reason why they hesitated was because they still wanted to live in their hearts, and they did not want to be besieged by the Chinese army until they starved to death.

This time, there were also a few European soldiers who attacked the city together.

When they surrendered voluntarily in Malacca, they promised to keep them in the army, and at first only as auxiliaries. Some of the soldiers of the Datong Army stationed in Malacca died of illness due to water and soil adaptation, so they recruited European auxiliaries to supplement them, and were borrowed by Liu Hanyi to attack Batavia.

Although these were the surrendered Dutch Army, the Portuguese and Germans were the most numerous.

At this moment, as soon as they started to build the ladder, before they had time to climb it, the European soldiers shouted in Portuguese and German: "We surrender in Malacca, serve as a soldier for the emperor of China, and we can eat enough every day, take several times your military salary, and save money to buy silk to make clothes!" I am married and am a very obedient Malay woman. She washed my clothes, mended my clothes, and gave me a baby. Do you want to have a wife? Do you want to have a full meal? Do you want to have a son? ”

There were not many soldiers left in the fortress, but seeing that the enemy was already climbing the city wall, and there were European soldiers inducing shouts, they really laid down their weapons and surrendered on the spot.

And the Dutch civilians on the city walls, at the moment when the Chinese army attacked the fortress, threw down their weapons and fled to the governor's palace.

The Prince of Johor also came with Johor soldiers, and when he saw that the siege was going well, his eyes lit up, and he drew his scimitar and shouted: "Heroic and fearless Johor warriors, kill the Dutch with me!" ”

Seeing this, Sun Jue shouted anxiously: "You can't let the Johor soldiers enter the castle, they will kill indiscriminately, and it is still useful for these Dutch to keep it!" ”

In fact, the Dutch soldiers, who did not need the Johor soldiers to kill indiscriminately, had already rushed in with the Chinese army. They killed Dutch civilians and robbed goods by the way, without any psychological burden at all.

As we mentioned earlier, 75% of the Dutch army overseas is Germans.

The centuries-old wars of religion in Europe were first ignited in Germany. There were countless lords, big and small, who fought each other with each other, and the countries often used the German region as a battlefield. After more than 100 years of fighting, Germany was full of poor and discriminated against, and they also had a grudge against the Dutch commoners.

Once you seize the opportunity, you will inevitably go to death!

Outside the Governor's Palace.

Justice Siddens, hiding behind a building, shouted anxiously, "Climb up to the Governor's Palace from the side!" ”

Another Dutch official replied: "Can't climb up, there are also the governor's lackeys there!" ”

Siddens then said, "Leave the Governor's Mansion alone, go and negotiate with the officers who attacked us, and ask them to lead their troops to arrest the Governor!" ”

The good end of the rebellion and raid war turned into an offensive and defensive battle of the Governor's Palace, and these Dutch civilians were too stretched.

The Dutch Army was now divided into four groups, one consisting of the Doge's cronies defending the Doge's Palace, one consisting of the officials who attacked the Doge's Palace, one consisting of Dutch officers who helped the Doge suppress the rebels, and one consisting of the Centrist who remained behind in the fort.

The soldiers who stayed behind in the fortress followed the Chinese army to kill them, and the other three forces were still fighting around the governor's palace.

"Kill!"

The Han rebels and ronin, who were advancing lightly, also rushed the fastest this time. They had no armor to bear, and they were very quick to cross rivers and climb walls, killing them from behind the Dutch soldiers who were fighting.

Seeing the Chinese army coming, Siddens excitedly walked out from behind a pillar: "I am the chief judge of Batavia, my name is Siddensi, and I am ready to surrender when I catch the governor...... I...... Yes...... Don't kill ......"

This thing was in a daze, and he was stabbed to death by the rebels.

The writer Nyukhov, who was hiding nearby, was so frightened that his vest was sweating, and he knelt down very neatly, then walked on his knees with his head in his hands, and said in very broken Chinese: "Surrender, surrender!" ”

And their enemies outside the Doge's Palace, probably more than a hundred soldiers, were all diehards who did not want to surrender.

At the moment, leaning on the building, hiding and constantly releasing the cold gun.

This kind of cold gun is particularly disgusting, Tie Hong was unwilling to sacrifice his lives in vain, so he asked Zhang Xianzhong to take the ronin to clean up. As for the Datong soldiers, they fired at the Governor's Palace, covering the charging of those ronins to kill the enemy.

Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang each led the team and slowly moved forward relying on the building.

At the sound of an order, hundreds of ronins swooped out, and more than a dozen were knocked down by the cold gun in an instant. The rest of the ronins continued to charge, there were no decent fortifications here, and when they approached, they swung their katanas and cut off their heads.

Lin Laoshi's right ear was blown off by a bullet, and he bled all the way through the flower bed, and stabbed the Dutch soldier to death with a gun. Then moving on, there was an enemy hiding behind a pillar, and he had just heard the sound of gunfire.

When Lin Laoshi rushed to the side of the post, the Dutch soldier was still reloading his ammunition, and only when he heard the footsteps did he look up, a spear had already pierced his throat.

The fighting gradually stopped, and the two Dutch armies in the diplomatic battle of the Doge's Palace, in the blink of an eye, no one struggled, and they were either killed or surrendered.

The Dutch civilians who were chased and cut down also knelt down one after another near the governor's palace, lying there shivering.

However, the governor is still inside, and there is still a group of cronies.

Zhang Xianzhong roared: "Who's the biggest official here, come and speak!" ”

No one answered, no interpreter was brought.

A German Malacca Datong Army took the initiative to translate these words.

Newkhov hurriedly crawled over and said, "The most ...... The highest office is the Lord Chancellor of Batavia, who was killed by you by mistake. The other councillors were arrested by the Governor. ”

Zhang Xianzhong pointed to the governor's palace and asked, "How many defenders are there inside?" ”

"All of them were close associates of the governor," Neukhov said, "and there were probably more than twenty soldiers, as well as a few civilian personnel. ”

"Damn, there's only more than twenty defenders of the Governor's Palace, and you haven't entered it for an hour. This is a fart rebellion! Zhang Xianzhong scolded and scolded, "Where is the most firecracker?" ”

Newkhov raised his arm and pointed: "There are more than ten people on the balcony on the second floor, as long as they show their heads, they will fire guns." At first, we attacked the hall on the first floor, but unfortunately we were crushed at the corner of the stairs. Now the gate of the Governor's Palace has been blocked by furniture, and it is impossible to open it when there are fewer people. ”

Tie Hong ordered: "Surround the Governor's Palace, bring the artillery over, and blast open at the gate!" Call Yu Zhan and ask him to take the prisoners. ”

Governor Rainiers climbed to the top of the building and watched the Datong army bring in artillery, and instantly fell into despair.

He said to the adjutant: "You go out and tell the Chinese that I am willing to surrender, that my treasures are given to them, and that they must guarantee my safety." ”

The adjutant trembled and tumbled down from the second-floor balcony, raised his hands and walked forward, repeating Rainiers' words.

Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but sneer: "I surrendered until I hit the door, if there is such a cheap thing in the world, Lao Tzu will not be the village chief in Taiwan." ”

Tie Hong was cut off the ring finger and tail finger of his left hand during the night attack, and he was very unhappy with the governor who ordered to resist, and said expressionlessly at the moment: "Blasting open the gate of the governor's palace!" ”

"Boom, boom!"

A few shells flew by, and the adjutant was so frightened that he hurriedly lay on the ground.

The enemy on the balcony on the second floor still wanted to shoot, and the artillery had already aimed at the balcony, blasting the stone railing to pieces.

Sun Kewang took the opportunity to lead the crowd to rush over and work together to break open the door blocked by furniture. In fact, the door had been half smashed, and the few rotten cabinets blocked inside were difficult to deal with, and some soldiers had hidden somewhere to put their guns at the gate.

Zhang Xianzhong ordered the ronin to climb from all sides, and after paying a few lives, he occupied a messy balcony.

Governor Rainiers was arrested, and he still wanted to maintain his aristocratic demeanor, and resolutely refused to kneel. He was hit in the shoulder by the butt of a gun, kicked again in the crook of his leg, and slammed his knee to the ground, struggling to get up: "I am a nobleman, please give me the treatment I deserve." China, like the Netherlands, is a civilized country, and we are not the uncivilized natives. I admit that I failed, and you can take everything here. But be sure to be kind to me and give me a separate room, preferably with a few more books to entertain. My family will send me enough taels of silver to ransom me at a high price. ”

Newkhov shouted: "We are all going to surrender, it was ordered by the governor to defend to the death!" ”

When Tie Hong heard this, he immediately ordered: "Arrest it, escort it to Nanjing, and hand it over to Your Majesty for disposal." “

A short time later, the soldiers dragged out a corpse, and the Director-General committed suicide in the Governor's Palace.

The councillor who had been arrested by the Governor, as well as Mrs. Wittson, were also brought out by the soldiers for questioning.

Mrs. Witson is of mixed Japanese, Portuguese and Dutch descent, petite, fair-skinned, blue eyes, and a charming age in her twenties.

She didn't mean anything else, she took a lot of goods and hid in the castle, and the city still had her shop property, and she just wanted to keep her possessions.

Don't even think about it!

As long as they are hiding in the castle, all property is confiscated. Otherwise, where will military spending come from?

I also want to leave the benefits to the Johor soldiers, although these guys are useless, but they are still very qualified. If you don't give some sweetness, next time you find Johor to borrow troops, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

The Datong soldiers, the Han rebels, and the Luzon ronin also had to be given sufficient rewards.

Anyway, from officers to soldiers, they will participate in the distribution of spoils. Liu Hanyi, Sun Jue and other envoys value merit, and the rest of the soldiers can get money.

On the side of the imperial court, very reasonable accounts will be received, and only the devil knows how much to divide in private.

It's hard to find out what is going on overseas.

Many Dutch people were taken away, crying and crying all the way.

In particular, the civilians, most of whom were of mixed race, had grown up in Batavia and had no sense of belonging to the Netherlands. And their "home" is no longer theirs, and they have no idea what to do in the future.

Sun Jue took the statistical list, found Liu Hanyi and said: "I entered the castle and confiscated it, and killed a lot of people." Dutch soldiers, 426 remaining. Dutch civilians, 914 remaining. There are more than 30 East India Company employees left. ”

Liu Hanyi said: "That governor can't be killed, he must be released, we need him to sign an armistice treaty." If the person is not released, the treaty he signed will be null and void. Instead, put him back, the headache is the Dutch, and it is estimated that there will continue to be infighting. ”
