After a fierce battle, the grenadiers in charge of Xiandeng quickly occupied the city wall, and the colonial soldiers responsible for defending the city wall did not have too high a fighting spirit, and they were killed and wounded under the fierce attack of the Xia army, so they voluntarily chose to surrender.

The walls soon fell, and the grenadiers who climbed the walls seized the gates and opened them, allowing the line infantry outside the city to enter the city.

As soon as the gates were opened, the rifle-carrying line infantry roared into the city, and they ran down the streets towards the harbor in companies, scattering Dutch soldiers and panicked civilians everywhere along the way.

Bang bang bang –

Gunfire soon erupted in the streets, and the Dutch soldiers, who were still preparing to resist stubbornly, led by the military governor of the port of Batavia, Drêtron, relied on the terrain of the streets to exchange fire with the incoming Xia troops.

They knocked down some debris such as stalls on the street, hid behind the bunkers used as debris, and raised their guns to shoot at the Xia army on the street.

Under the fire of the Dutch army, several people of the attacking Xia army were soon shot and fell to the ground, and the company commander led by him hurriedly shouted loudly and looked for cover on the spot, while the other soldiers who were not shot were quick and dragged the fallen robe to a safe place under the cover of their teammates' guns.

This is not a wide street gunshots, the two sides go back and forth, shooting at each other, although they are not good accuracy smoothbore guns, but the performance of the Type II rifle used by the Xia army is obviously stronger than the arquebus, so although the Xia army is not a large number, but for a time it can faintly cause a suppressive effect on the Dutch army.

The Dutch resistance did not last long, and as more Xia troops arrived, Transtron could only lead his men to fight and retreat, leaving dozens of corpses to retreat to the barracks and hold on to the barracks, but they only withdrew a distance before they encountered another Xia army that had penetrated deeply.

The two sides immediately fought again, and after the Xia army shot the lead bullet in the chamber, he did not hesitate to raise his rifle and chose to start a white-knuckle battle with the Dutch army.

After a fierce battle, the Dutch army was shaken, and Transtron, seeing that his men were killed and wounded, knew that there was no hope of victory, and in order to save the lives of his Dutch, he had no choice but to order surrender.

On the other side, the Han coolies defeated the Dutch army that had gone to stop them after paying the price of dozens of lives, and then continued to attack the arsenal, and the colonial soldiers stationed in the arsenal did not dare to resist when they saw the Han people menacing, so they fled without authorization, and surrendered the entire arsenal.

Subsequently, the Han people rushed into the arsenal, they forcibly broke the lock of the door of the arsenal, and used the weapons inside to equip themselves, just when this group of Han people was about to do a big fight, they suddenly found that the battle in the city had come to an end, and the Xia army occupied almost the whole city, and approached the arsenal.

Regardless of regret, these Han people hurriedly walked out of the arsenal under the leadership of Lin Sanfa and others and went to meet Xia Jun.

Xia Jun, who rushed to the arsenal, suddenly saw a group of people coming out of the front of him, and subconsciously thought that it was the Dutch who were ready to resist stubbornly, but when they saw that the people on the other side were all looking like Han people, some of their hearts were suddenly relieved.

Immediately afterwards, they saw Lin Sanfa and others hurrying over, and the leaders of these Han coolies expressed their admiration to Xia Jun and explained their actions today.

When he learned that they led the Han people in the city to initiate the first mission, the officer of the Xia army suddenly showed admiration, he praised Lin Sanfa and others for their loyalty, and invited them to meet the commander of the first brigade - the officer was also observing these Han coolies when he was talking, and he saw that although the figure of this group of people was not strong, their muscles were very tight, and they were a good material for being a soldier.

Therefore, the officers immediately had the idea of recruiting them, and if these righteous soldiers could be recruited into the army, then the military strength of the Xia army in Nanyang could be further strengthened.

In the face of the officer's invitation, Lin Sanfa and the others did not shirk, they asked the brothers to put their weapons back in the arsenal, accept the arrangement of the Xia army, and several people followed the officer to the outside of the city.

When they saw the brigade commander An Chujie, the latter was ordering people to count the results of the battle, and they learned that his subordinates would be generals

When the leader of the Han people was brought, he put down his work and went to greet him personally.

For these people who are trying to survive in a foreign country and still have their hearts set on the imperial court, An Chujie has a good impression in his heart, he personally met with Lin Sanfa and others, and talked with them, after chatting a few words, An Chujie was even more happy with these righteous soldiers, and asked them if they were willing to join their army.

Personally recruited by the brigade commander, Lin Sanfa and the others naturally showed a flattered appearance, Lin Sanfa originally wanted to take revenge on the Dutch, and if he was able to join the Xia army, he would be closer to this goal, so he agreed without hesitation.

Seeing this, several other people also showed their willingness, but only Chen Sanwan refused the invitation, after he escaped from the official army of the Longwu Dynasty, he had a psychological shadow that was difficult to hide for the army, he just wanted to have a house in this Batavia city, and enjoy his old age with his wife and children.

Seeing this, An Chujie had no intention of keeping it, he immediately ordered someone to prepare a pen and paper, personally wrote a letter and stamped it with his exclusive seal, handed it to Chen San, and said to him that after the war was over, he could take this letter and go to receive a house in the city, which was given to him by An Chujie in his personal name.

After Chen San received the letter, he hurriedly thanked him repeatedly, and the others dispelled the idea of retaining it when they saw this.

……

After the port of Batavia was captured by the Xia army, all the Dutch warships anchored in the port were captured by the Xia army, and the Dutch troops stationed in the city were all wiped out, and more than 400 Dutch troops, including Transtron, were captured.

As a result, the Xia Junshui Division finally got a base with good facilities, and the warships that were originally being repaired in Makassar were also ready to leave for the port of Batavia after receiving the news, and then went to the port for repairs.

And the Han coolies who participated in the ***, An Chujie, after some discussion with Liu Yang, decided to recruit them as auxiliaries of the Xia army to fight, and after the capture of Batavia City, these auxiliaries can also be left as garrisons here.

The Marines were destined to leave Batavia, and when they left, a new garrison must be formed here, and the Han coolies who had the courage to resist the Dutch were a good choice.

In addition, the traitor Guo Ziqi, who betrayed the Han coolies and leaked secrets to the Dutch army, also got his due Xia Dynasty, Xia Jun has always been very disgusted with Han women as lackeys, and has never been soft on this kind of people, whether it is the Chu Army, the predecessor of the Xia Army, or the present, it has not changed.

In order to severely punish this traitor and play the role of killing chickens and monkeys, An Chujie ordered Guo Ziqi to be put to death, and he ordered Guo Ziqi to be skinned and filled with grass, and hung in the central square of the port area to be spurned, and the remaining flesh and blood were crushed and ashes, so that his bones were gone.

Regardless of whether Anchujie's side was preparing to deal with the traitors, in the city of Batavia, Governor John Mattsokol looked silently in the direction of the port, and he ran to the city wall almost as soon as the cannon sounded, looking in the direction of the port from afar, trying to see the results there.

However, he could only see the Xia army's onslaught on the city wall and the black smoke gradually rising in the city, and the fall of the port made him feel a sense of crisis, now that the port has fallen into the hands of the enemy, isn't it the turn of Batavia City next.

The fire in the city also made him pay attention, the black smoke that ignited appeared before the Xia army opened fire, which means that something must have happened in the city wall to allow the Xia army to attack, and combined with the large population of Han people in the port area, he became more and more worried.

Governor Matsokor's worries spread like a plague, and the defenders of the city began to become anxious, fearing that the Xia army would storm the city walls next, and even rumors began to circulate in the city.

The rumors that claimed that after the Xia army broke through the port area, carried out a brutal massacre of the other inhabitants except the Han Chinese, most of the inhabitants died miserably, and the Han people also took the opportunity to join in the massacre, and the corpses were strewn all over the place, and the blood flowed like a river, this rumor is said with a nose and an eye, as if the propagator was at the scene at the time.

This immediately caused the inhabitants of the city to fall into panic, and the residents of all ethnic groups settled in the city began to become nervous, and Governor Matsokol hurriedly ordered to trace the source of the spread of rumors, and at the same time he also wanted to appease the residence

People, don't let them mess with themselves.

However, at this time, the Dutch members of the city council took the initiative to find Governor Matsorkor, who hoped that Governor Matsorkol would take this opportunity to recruit all Europeans and Eurasian people in the city to defend the Dutch city.

Twenty-five percent of the city's population is made up of Europeans and Eurasian mulattoes, and if it were not to be called up, at least nearly 1,000 more militia would have been drawn.

The councillors pleaded with the governor and succeeded in convincing Mat-Sokor, who signed the next day a general mobilization order for Europeans and Eurasian people in the city, opened the arsenal, issued them weapons such as arquebuses, bows, and knives, and organized militias to set up checkpoints at the entrances and exits of European-inhabited neighborhoods, and set up bunkers in the streets to make barricades for future street fighting in the city.

The actions of the foreigners and the prevailing rumors also stimulated the Han people in the city, and they saw that the Dutch and Indian governments actually issued guns to the foreigners, and they couldn't help but be frightened, worried that the foreigners were preparing to attack them in advance to prevent them from contacting the Xia army outside the city.

For a time, the Han people also spontaneously organized, led by the head of the Chinese street, also set up checkpoints at the entrances and exits of the streets, arranged for people to stand guard day and night, and at the same time began to organize the young and middle-aged Han people to equip themselves with weapons, known as the Han self-protection joint defense team, to prevent the Dutch and Indian governments from suddenly attacking.

While organizing the armed forces, the Chinese street chiefs feared that they would be suppressed by the Dutch and Indian governments without foreign aid and that they would probably pay heavy losses, so they asked Kapitan (the Chinese leaders appointed by the Dutch and Indian governments) to negotiate with the government and use delaying tactics while looking for an opportunity to contact the Xia army outside the city.

Kapitan's duty was to handle all the internal affairs of his countrymen, and he began to exist for a long time in 1619 when the then Governor of Cohen appointed his close friend Su Minggang to this post, and the current Kapitan, an old man of high moral character, was very anxious about the current situation, but he could not do anything about it.

In fact, he was not very willing to negotiate with the Dutch and Indian governments in this situation, and outside the Han neighborhood, there were loud voices against the Han people, and there were even many groups against the Han people, who looked at the Han people walking in the street with hatred, and no one knew what they wanted to do.

However, at the request of the Chinese street chiefs, the Jiapitan could only reluctantly agree, and he took several Chinese officials in a horse-drawn carriage to leave the safety of Chinatown and go to the city hall.

What he didn't expect was that this was actually his last trip.

Soon after the carriage left Chinatown, they were attacked, and the fearful thug finally decided to take action, believing that the hard-working Han Chinese had taken their wealth and jobs, and that the accumulated grievances of the past combined with the hatred that had evolved from fear today led them to kill them.

Without the slightest call, after the carriage entered a street, a nearby mob group suddenly attacked the carriage carrying Kapitan and Chinese officials, and although the accompanying Han guards resisted, they died by the mob's knife.

When he heard the movement, he was terrified and wanted to open the door of the car and escape from it, but as soon as he leaned out of his body, he saw several fierce thugs rushing towards him with knives, and before he could retract into the carriage, a steel knife stabbed him directly in the abdomen, and a hand also dragged him out of the carriage and fell heavily to the ground.

Then, amid the cheers of "Kill the damned Han dog", several steel knives stabbed the old man in succession, taking his life, and other Chinese officials hiding in the carriage were subsequently hacked to death by the thugs who rushed in.

News of the killing of Kapitan and several Chinese officials in the street spread quickly and caused shocks throughout the city of Batavia.

After learning of this incident, the Dutch and Indian governments immediately realized that something was wrong, and the Chinese leader was openly attacked and died tragically on the street, which was bound to become the trigger that detonated the anger of the Han people, thus triggering the Han people.

Governor Matt Sokol immediately ordered the mobilization of troops, wanting to attack Chinatown first and nip the danger in the cradle - to borrow a phrase from the Roman dictator Caesar, the dice have been rolled, and they have only one way to go to the black!

When the Dutch and Indian governments issued orders and the army began to move, the Han people had not yet come out of their grief, they were angry that their leader had died in the streets, and subconsciously wanted to seek justice, rather than directly cause trouble.

But at this time, the news of the beginning of the transfer of the Dutch army was transmitted back to Chinatown, and the Han people realized that the Dutch and Indian authorities were ready to strike first, and they could no longer sit still, so they hurriedly organized people to set up barricades on the streets and defend the streets.
