Chapter 171 The Laid-off Guards of the Dutch Army Take Up Their Posts!
Chapter 171 The Dutch army is laid off and the Guards is on duty!
While Cornelis drank the poison, Batavia rioted!
Zheng Kezang's Jin Yiwei was not a vegetarian.
As early as the middle of the year, Chen Weiguo, a Jinyiwei Qianhu who was far away in Japan, was transferred to the Batavia area by Zheng Kezang.
Chen Weiguo also has a good way of doing things. Over the past few months, he has settled here in the name of doing business. He has already understood the situation in Batavia thoroughly. He knows exactly which Chinese family can influence it.
"Brother Chen, is it true that we won the Ming Dynasty naval battle, wiped out the Batavia fleet of the Dutch East India Company, and are attacking Batavia?" asked a Chinese leader named Gao Changshan.
Chen Weiguo nodded and said, "Brother Gao, of course it's true. Look at how chaotic it is outside. If you don't react now, then you'll have to wait until later!"
"Listen to Brother Chen's orders!"
Under the leadership of these two, the Chinese in Batavia rebelled!
Those Chinese who were dissatisfied with the Dutch's excessive taxation followed the command of the Jinyiwei one after another.
These Chinese immigrants, armed with simple fire guns, took to the streets to attack the Batavia garrison.
This made the city of Batavia, which was already on the verge of collapse, even worse!
According to etiquette, Wang Yang should have received it with both hands, but the senior executive of the Dutch East India Company did not mind Wang Yang's rudeness, and still nodded and bowed as usual, complimenting Wang Yang and others with a smile.
This request was very simple, so Ming Zheng naturally agreed!
However, those Dutch soldiers and Dutch civilians were the spoils of Ming Zheng and could not be taken away. Only a small amount of gold, silver and jewelry could be taken away.
Cornelis, who had not slept all night, felt that his eyes were extremely dry, but he did not feel sleepy at all.
Create an opportunity for the Guards to capture Batavia.
They walked slowly and came to an awning.
Instead, he said to Wang Yang beside him: "Wang Guanzhen was able to easily capture the city of Batavia thanks to the hard work of the Guards officers. Wang Guanzhen, please accept this sword on behalf of the Guards officers!"
After the two parties sat down and exchanged greetings for a while through the interpreter, the leader, the Dutchman Anthony Hiddink, suddenly stood up and saluted, and then took out the gorgeous sword hanging from his waist.
Suddenly, the Polu cannon fired three times in a row!
Boom boom boom!
As if receiving a signal, the Dutch slowly opened the city gate.
Looking at the sword handed over respectfully by the Dutchman, Zhu Tiangui hesitated for a moment, but did not step forward.
His first task was to clean up the city of Batavia so that his king could come here comfortably for a walk and some fresh air.
However, there is a group of demonic troops outside the city now!
I am afraid that the devil's army outside the city wants the Chinese rebels to attract the Batavia defenders, thereby scattering Batavia's few troops.
The Matalan officer corps stood on a flat hill about one mile away from the Batavia city gate.
This is the sword of the dead Governor Cornelis. If Wang Yang knew that this was a dead man's thing, he might not even be able to pick it up.
The colony can be lost, but trade cannot be interrupted. The worst that can happen is that the East India Company will build more chassis in India to serve as a transit station.
Wang Yang was not polite and walked forward and took the Dutchman's gorgeous sword with one hand.
Cornelis, who had not yet died from the poison, was devastated. He probably knew Ming Zheng's intention.
Then he bent down at a forty-five degree angle and respectfully presented his sword with both hands to Zhu Tiangui, the leader of the Fujian and Guangdong fleet opposite him.
Although we cannot control Malacca like before, we should at least allow them free passage to the Netherlands. Otherwise, they will not go back to the Netherlands. If they go back, they will be hanged.
He believed that a group of poorly equipped and poorly trained rebels could capture Batavia's strong fortress from the inside.
According to the list provided by the East India Company to the Guards, the total number of Dutch soldiers who surrendered this time was 3,000, and another 4,000 strong men and native soldiers had been disbanded on the spot.
These big fish from the Dutch East India Company, who had been calm just now, were no longer as calm as before and were a little nervous after arriving at the pergola. After all, the people in front of them could control their destiny.
The conditions for their surrender were simple. As long as the Guards and the Fujian-Guangdong Combined Fleet were willing to let their senior officials and their families leave, they were willing to surrender.
These congressmen and military officers were all dressed in gorgeous clothes. Their faces were calm, and they had obviously already accepted this result.
As I was thinking about it, I didn't know when the sky was getting brighter.
None of these surrendered soldiers wore armor, and they lined up neatly. Under the tight defense of the Guards, they threw their weapons into the open space!
After more than three thousand Dutch soldiers had disarmed, the big fish of the Dutch East India Company came out.
At this moment, he felt something strange in his body. Before he could call the servant, he passed out and would never wake up again.
How about surrendering?
Unfortunately, this idea of surrender came too late.
And those sitting inside the awning were none other than Zhu Tiangui, Liu Guoxuan, Wang Yang, Dawula and others.
"Dear generals of the Ming Dynasty, our Dutch East India Company is willing to give up everything in the Batavia colony, but please allow our East India Company to continue sailing on this trade route." Anthony asked cautiously.
Moreover, this is Malacca, the most important route connecting east-west trade, which can be called a golden waterway.
"Dutch, we'll talk about this later, because we don't have the right to make the decision. Once the city of Batavia is cleared, our king will come over in person to inspect Batavia!" Zhu Tiangui waved his hand, not wanting to talk to the Dutch about this.
.
This few hard-liners in Batavia City just fell down and "had a stroke"!
In the early morning of August 1, 1682, the sun shyly emerged from the dark clouds, and the rain stopped!
But the wonderful thing is that the war also stopped.
They were sitting here, waiting a little impatiently, and almost called for an attack.
They stared far ahead at the ceremony of the surrender of the Dutch East India Company to the Guards.
If the Dutch defenders freed up their hands, they would be wiped out in minutes.
Ming and Zheng are not accustomed to these imperialisms. Although according to the current situation, Ming and Zheng will also be the leaders of imperialism in the future.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of Dutch soldiers came out of the city. They were dejected, with a hint of relief in their frightened expressions.
The enemy has many tricks and tricks, and he is at his wits' end.
Standing on the hillock and looking at the groveling Dutchmen in the distance, the general of Matalan's servant army, for some reason, touched his old face and it hurt a little!
"These bastard Dutch people are actually afraid of death," another Matalan officer at the scene laughed.
His words aroused the resentment of General Matalan.
The general thought to himself that they, Matalan, were also afraid of death. The only difference was that they were dogs from the Netherlands before and now they were dogs from the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing that there was no chance for the time being, Anthony was not discouraged and still smiled: "Generals of the Ming Dynasty, the gate of Batavia has been opened for you, please come in for the handover!"
Thank you brothers for your support!
