The reason why the battle of Manila can be defended is that on the one hand, the Ming army is also a well-trained and well-equipped professional soldier, and on the other hand, the main force guarding Manila is all Ming people, whether it is a worker, a man or a plantation owner, a shopkeeper, a master, work together to defend his new homeland, even if it is bloodshed and sacrificed!

But in Batavia, the Dutch don't have that spirit! On the one hand, the prosperity of the Netherlands made the Dutch in the colonial capital arrogant and lascivious to the point that the citizens and nobles of the Roman Empire were about the same, on the other hand, the Ming Dynasty did not have the habit of abandoning the land, but the Western colonies lost their hands often, and they did not have the will to fight to the death for a colony.

The rich fled along the island, and the poor fled a lot, relying on the local conquered Javanese natives to defend the Dutch city, and the resistance was evident.

The lesson of the Cebu Sea, although the huge sea sought merit, but it was not impatient, first used the overlord cannon to collapse the castle in the open sea, and then assaulted into the strait, launched an artillery bombardment on the sea wall in the city and the defensive fortress located on the top of the mountain, and sent a detachment to seize the nearby port, the marines landed, and surrounded Batavia from both sides of the sea and land, and the war lasted for eleven days, and then the troops landed from the right side of the city and launched an attack on the city wall.

On the sea, the overlord cannon that had been singing the protagonist for a few days roared domineeringly, with a loud bang, and the east side of the defensive wall against the farm was directly pierced through a big hole, and in the howl of the Javanese natives on the wall who were frightened by the soldiers, only a few thin layers of bricks were left on it After shaking a few times, it collapsed with a bang, and more than a dozen native soldiers fell into the ash pile with a cannon.

"For God's sake, kill all those infidels!"

The same old tune of hundreds of years was repeated, the Protestant priest in the Netherlands held his staff aloof, his voice hoarse roared, and a group of diminutive natives really drew their traditional short knives in religious fanaticism, hula-la, and rushed out along the pile of ruins.

But the fanaticism did not put bulletproof, they just came up, crackling a row of bullets has been paved over, bullets hit the thin white linen clothes just like the Chinese painting peony, a red flower temporarily released, even people with knives rolled down the slope, a shot let go of the Ming army gathered under the head of the city, only then did the bayonet, fierce stride forward rushed to the ruins, on the side of the wall and those defending the city of the people fierce hand-to-hand combat.

It is said that it is tragic, and it is also said that the Javanese natives are tragic, the height is a lot shorter, and the physical strength and explosive reaction ability are not as good as the killing machine of the Ming profession, a priest here is still there with the scriptures and chanting the gospel loudly, and a Ming soldier rushed to his vicinity with a cold heart, the bayonet is like electricity, and the three natives have to wait to be raised, and he is stabbed to the ground by him. In an instant, the priest didn't even want the scriptures, threw the staff aside, turned around and fled.

The city seems to have gone to the general trend, this has not waited for the Ming army to attack, Batavia seems to have been occupied by the Ming Dynasty, the long street originally written in Dutch this company and that company disappeared overnight, replaced by the Ming Dynasty documents of this Xuan and that fang, even for a while I don't know what the name is, what John Li Dog Leftover Brothers Company, Nicholas Zhao Erdanfang is also hung up, originally because the Netherlands declared war on the Ming Dynasty, all of them were arrested Ming business travel immigrants were even more fragrant this time, all were released not to say, They all became guests of honour with the Dutch aristocracy, and some were even willing to give half of their shares to win over the Akito, as long as he was willing to show his face in front of his family's shop and protect his family from being slaughtered.

The country is strong and the people are strong here, and the young man who was originally poor and white also got a salary increase and promotion in just one or two days, married Bai Fumei, served as a lizard gull, and reached the peak of his life!

In this case, how did Manila's singing and weeping street battles come out?

When the cannon outside the city was bursting, as the master of Batavia and even the entire East Indies, the board of directors of the Dutch East India Company building, the atmosphere was also depressing as if suffocating.

Also sitting at one end of the round table, in just a few days, Cohen's face seemed to have aged twenty years at once, his cheeks were dry and thin, and the skin of the old man's class was sagging one fold after another, and he was also horribly silent.

However, in the atmosphere that was so depressed that it was crazy that finally someone couldn't sit still, and it was Cohen's nephew who spoke out, the head of Batavia, the playboy Rufili, whose voice was still trembling, and he slapped the table in a hurry but with some excitement.

"Gentlemen, I suggest that the big guy take out half of the shares and allow the barbarian emperor in the east to take a stake in our great company!"

Not to mention, his words really set off a small wave at the shareholders' meeting, after all, the first thing Mao Jue wanted to cooperate with was their Dutch East India Company, and in the global power, the Dutch East India Company is also top-notch, and this plan seems to be feasible!

However, the ugliness of human nature and the greed of capitalists are revealed, this juncture, there are still people who are reluctant, several small and medium-sized shareholders shouted that they have less shares, and the major shareholders should have more shares, and some people are shouting that they do not support the war against the Ming Dynasty, and those who should support the war should be out of this than shares, the shareholders' meeting was finally as lively as the vegetable market, but no one noticed that Cohen's old face sitting in the chairman's position was becoming more and more gloomy and ugly, and did not alarm anyone. He simply sighed, turned and walked out.

This controversy continued, and even the quarrel intensified, the situation, it seemed that Mao Jue had agreed to take 50% of the shares of the Dutch East India Company and leave, but seeing that Ru Feili was blushing and thick-necked, and was even about to rely on his privilege to suppress the matter, the door of the conference room at the other end was slammed open, an old face was covered with sweat and blood, and the Batavian mercenary Colonel Field gasped and broke in, without manners, he pointed out anxiously.

"Gentlemen, the Ming army has broken through the city wall and is heading for the city!"

Once again, the noisy headquarters of the East India Company was silent.

…………

If the army had been invincible with the blessing of fanatical religious beliefs, the Crusades would have penetrated Central Asia long ago! After all, they are only some tribal strongmen, after more than ten minutes of bloody battles, the manor city wall in the east and the port city wall in the north have been breached one after another, and more than 20,000 temporarily recruited Batavian native soldiers have dropped their corpses, and they do not wait for God to save themselves, they scatter to save their own lives, and they scattered to the city and fledThe caretaker was at the headquarters of the East India Company, and he didn't go up to the city wall at all.

However, this time, the Ming army did not carry out a massacre like in Manila to retaliate against the Spaniards, the troops that were not chaotic just drove into the city in an orderly manner, controlled the strategic nodes, disarmed the Dutch mercenaries who had no fighting spirit, and drove them out of the city, after all, the last time the Spaniards were genocidal and carried out a bloody massacre against the Ming people in Manila, and this time, the Dutch only declared war on the Ming Dynasty, and did not attack civilians on a large scale, not to mention deep hatred and blood hatred.

Another important reason is economic.

The Dutch East India authorities belonged to a predatory colonial economy, the entire East Indies had a population of 800 to 10 million, and the main economic activities were concentrated in Batavia, and every year the chiefs from all over the country sent land endowments and tributes to Batavia, and the tribes needed to sell and exchange goods were also sent to Batavia, which were classified by the Dutch clerks, purchased at a low price, and then shipped to the Ming Dynasty, India, the five countries of Central and South China, Japan and Western Europe, and then sold at a high price.

Da Ming is not an internationalist warrior, the attack on Batavia is a colonial scramble, and it is not to liberate the natives, the Dutch have built a very stable plunder rule here, what Da Ming needs to do is to take over the plate safely, and then put the silver that was originally filled in the Dutch East India Company into his own wallet, if Batavia is burned, breaking the colonial order established by the Dutch, Da Ming also needs to reconquer and re-establish order from island to island, these all need white silver!

Huge Hai has been an official for so many years, and he knows it clearly, everything that can't get along with Mao Jue's money bag, but it doesn't end well, and he will touch this bad head again.

At the shareholders' meeting, a group of well-dressed gentlemen argued and reversed, but the Ming army really came to the front, but a large group of guys were most of them disappeared without a trace, at two o'clock in the afternoon, surrounded by a large number of guards, the Admiralty's army headquarters in the sea drove to the bottom of the Dutch East India Company building, and when he came out with the Batavia key, only Curt was left with a candle old man.

It seemed that he was a few years older, and every step was trembling, as if he might fall at any time, and after a few minutes, Curt pushed open the door of the office building with difficulty, walked in front of the huge sea, bowed deeply to the huge sea full of victors, riding high on the horse, and held the golden key of the Batavia gate in front of him with both hands.

"In the name of God, Ben Jure dedicates to you the key to Batavia and the right to rule this land, and the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company Batavia surrenders to you unconditionally, hoping that you will treat the Christians in the city with chivalry, and mistakenly burn and plunder!"

Although this trip suffered a lot of losses in the hands of these Western Domains, but the huge sea magnanimity is not enough to deal with an old man who is angry at any time, his staff officer Xia He and the female dragon are like snatching the shiny pure gold key with both hands, and a little reluctant to hand it to him, holding the key that has been held by Curt and looking at it twice, the huge sea is holding the key high, and in an instant, following him here, tens of thousands of Ming sailors can't help but chant with his excitement, the whole city, Immediately, there was an earth-shattering cheer.

The last Western power in Southeast Asia was completely expelled, and after this battle, the huge Southeast Asia became the bathtub of the Ming Dynasty, and for the first time, the maritime territory of China, an agricultural empire, expanded so far!
