Last night the Dutch were suddenly attacked, and the governor Coley fled in a hurry, but the situation was chaotic at that time, a large number of Dutch were still fighting fiercely with the Ming army in Xicheng District, and Coley did not have the opportunity to notify them all, so only a few were evacuated, and there were still a large number of Dutch stranded in the fort.

These Dutch stragglers hid in warehouses and houses, engaged in street battles with the Ming army, and the fire and gunfire in the fort continued until the afternoon of the next day, and continued.

At this time, there would still be a single gunshot in the city from time to time, but then there would be a series of gunshots until the Ming army shot the Dutchman who was hiding from the gun.

The battle was not so fierce, but because the Dutch were divided into various neighborhoods, and they did not know that the governor and councillors had withdrawn, they did not receive orders, so some diehards held their houses and resisted the Ming army to the death.

Coupled with the hard labor outside the fort, after joining the search for the Dutch, in order to avenge their relatives and vent the hatred in their hearts, many Dutch who surrendered were killed, so that some Dutch who saw it in the dark no longer surrendered, but resisted stubbornly.

The street fighting that lasted from last night to this time caused a large number of casualties to the Ming army, which made the Ming army, which was originally relatively restrained, also red-eyed and did not accept surrender under the stimulation of the casualties of their comrades.

At this time, several Dutchmen who were searched out by the Ming army were escorted to the side of the street, kneeling down with their hands tied behind their backs to the Ming army, and the Ming soldiers raised their guns from behind, pulled the trigger, and in a "bang, bang" sound, all these Heyi bloomed in the back of their heads, and their bodies fell.

After the Ming soldiers killed people, they did not clean up, and the small flag of the leader led the team and continued to search house by house along the streets with his subordinates.

In the evening, the fire ignited in the granary in the city was still billowing and burning, and the dense smoke and dust spiraled up, and could be seen dozens of miles away, but the gunfire in the city finally stopped.

Under the protection of the guards, Li Dingguo walked through the streets strewn with corpses, stepped on the blood all over the ground, entered the Dutch governor's palace, and then summoned the deployment to discuss the matter.

"Marshal, all the Dutch in the castle have been given the head!" The bloodstained Ming generals on their armor reported loudly.

As soon as the general finished speaking, Zhou Dai, Hu Sheng and others also entered the house.

Li Dingguo looked at them and said with a smile, "This time you can take down the fortress of Heyi, Zhou Dai, you are indispensable, Ben Shuai will see if he can find you a thousand households, you wait for the reward!" ”

"I have thanked the marshal for his humble position, but the fortress can be laid, all of them are the lives of the brothers, the marshal is well commanded, and the humble post does not dare to take credit!" Although Zhou Dai and the others were happy in their hearts, they were busy saluting.

Li Dingguo waved his hand, "Rewards and punishments are clear, this is the rule of the Ming Dynasty, you don't have to be modest." Saying that, he looked at everyone, "Since Heyi has been cleared, let's quickly organize people to extinguish the fire, don't let the flames burn down other warehouses, and quickly count the materials in the fort!" Also, don't kill any more prisoners! ”

On the fourth day of the seventh month, the Ming army took full control of Batavia, ending decades of Dutch rule.

The material counted by the Ming army is very huge, nearly five million taels of silver and materials, half of which is owned by the Ming people of Nanyang, after the supervision of the army Qian Bingrup arrived, according to the account of the Dutch, part of it was returned to the people of Nanyang, which caused the people of Nanyang to cheer.

Since the Ming army took Batavia and Malacca, the Dutch in Nanyang were completely defeated, and they were almost completely driven out of Nanyang, leaving a very small number of Dutch in Danmu and other places, which is no longer a concern, even if the Ming Dynasty does not make a move, it is estimated that the Mataran Sultanate will not keep this group of Dutch.

Now the Ming Dynasty controls Malacca, Batavia, Surabaya and other cities, which is equivalent to annexing all the Dutch spheres of influence in Nanyang, which has naturally had a significant impact on Nanyang.

In fact, when the Ming Dynasty conquered Malacca, this influence has been reflected, on the island of Sumatra opposite Malacca, the descendants of the Flying Dragon Kingdom established by Zhang Lian, the leader of the Ming Dynasty rebel army, hoped to be invited as vassals, and the Aceh Kingdom also expressed its willingness to pay tribute.

The situation in the entire Nanyang has changed dramatically, but the Ming Dynasty now has a lot of rules for vassal vassals, and not everyone can come and hug their thighs.

Becoming a vassal is not only to form a military alliance, but also to give the vassal a cheap price in terms of economy and trade, but other countries obviously cannot enjoy this kind of treatment.

If the vassals of the Ming Dynasty clashed with other countries, the Ming Dynasty would gather the countries in the entire vassal system and lead a large army to lead the vassals, which alone was not something that ordinary countries could enjoy.

If you want to enter the vassal system of the Ming Dynasty, not all cats and dogs can do it, and it will be an era when you want to be a lackey in the future.

However, the Ming Dynasty could not refuse people thousands of miles away, which would cause hostility among these countries that wanted to pay tribute but could not, and affected the trade of the Ming Dynasty, so Qian Bingrup wrote that in addition to the existing vassals, there must also be a system of preparing vassals, allowing some countries to pay tribute, including them in the sphere of influence, and not allowing other countries to get involved, but these countries do not enjoy the advantages of vassal states and the Ming Dynasty in all aspects of trade.

With the rise of Western powers and the prevalence of colonialism, weak countries can only form alliances or find backers, otherwise they can only perish.

The vassalage and tributary system of the Ming Dynasty will provide a good choice for these countries, first strive to become a country qualified for tribute, and then find a way to become a vassal, then this country with the blessing of the huge national strength of the Ming Dynasty, just a military alliance can immediately make a country that does not enter the stream, become a third-rate country, or even stronger.

After taking Batavia, the next step was to change the Han names of Malacca and Batavia, restore the prosperity of the two places, and set up a satrapy like Champa to maintain the control of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Li Dingguo and the land division of Nanyang, the remaining tasks were basically only to maintain stability in Malacca, Batavia, Surabaya and other places, and there were no combat missions.

After Wang Yan saw it, he was immediately overjoyed, and the Ministry of War also felt that the general trend was set, and the opinion of the cabinet annotated on the excerpt was also, "Nanyang and the two provinces, now the Netherlands are defeated, and the rest, except for Spain, which is entrenched in the small island of Sulu, although it is difficult to pull out suddenly, but it is only sooner or later to get rid of it, and the prison country can rest assured." ”

On this day, Wang Yan was in the council hall, after reading the detailed military report, he said with a smile: "The Nanyang War began last year, and it has been more than half a year now, and it is finally coming to an end. We earned this battle! ”

Several scholars also smiled, and Fang Fengnian stood up with a smile and saluted: "The matter of the reward is already being discussed by the cabinet, and the prison can rest assured that it will definitely satisfy the soldiers." In addition, the cabinet wants to change the names of Malacca and Batavia, and ask His Highness to give them names! ”

This name has to be changed, there is no reason to use the name of Heyi again, but Wang Yan didn't have a good idea for a while, he sighed for a while, and then said with a smile: "It's better to publish this matter in the newspaper and ask for names from talented people in the world, how about it?" ”

"The imperial court has expanded the sea frontier by tens of thousands of miles, which is a matter of celebration for the whole world. The policy of supervising the country can let the people know the prosperity of our dynasty, and let the scholars participate in it, which is to enjoy with the people. I think it's possible! Zhang Kentang stroked his beard with a smile and said.

This is indeed Wang Yan's careful thinking, to do good deeds and do great things, you have to leave a name. Expanding the sea and territory, how can he not let the world know about his exploits, and not listen to the people's praise of him.

However, later, although the discussion was fierce, it was not as Wang Yan thought, and there was a lot of praise for singing skills, and many of them said that Wang Yan was not doing his job, and was not busy unifying the world and realizing great unification, and quickly destroyed the Jin State, but he gave up his roots and went to the wild land, and fought with great force, which made people disappointed.

Of course, this is an afterword, Wang Yan immediately smiled: "Then this matter is decided." ”

Everyone naturally had no opinions, and at this time Chen Bangyan got up and said: "Prison country, now that Heyi has been defeated, the rest is Xiyi entrenched in Sulu, and Lu Shiyi has no much effect, can Li Dudu be transferred back to Nanjing?" ”

Wang Yan thought for a while, "Li Dingguo can be transferred back, but the army will stay in Nanyang for the time being, and after the naval division defeats Spain and the situation is stable, a batch of land divisions will be transferred back." In addition, Lone has an idea, the sailors of the South Seas are the mainstay, but sometimes it is inevitable to encounter things on land to solve. Lone is going to transfer an elite from the land division, and it doesn't need too many, about 10,000 people, and hand it over to the command of the water division, do you think it's feasible? ”

"In this Nanyang operation, we dispatched 30,000 land divisions, but in fact, we don't need so many men and horses. If you give the water division a 10,000-person Lu clan, then many problems can be solved by the water division, and there is no need to deploy the Lu division and temporarily put together people, the minister thinks it is feasible! Chen Bangyan nodded.

In this Nanyang operation, the Ming army transferred 30,000 people, but as soon as the Malacca war ended, nearly 20,000 people returned to Guangzhou because of the weather and water and soil unsuitability, and it was indeed necessary to train a land division for the sailors who could adapt to the Nanyang climate.

The interests of Nanyang are related to the interests of the Chamber of Commerce and Wude, that is, the interests of the gentry, and everyone will not oppose the proposal to strengthen the Nanyang Naval Division.

It can be said that the Ming Dynasty's confrontation with the West this time has basically won a big victory, and it will be of far-reaching significance.

The Ming Dynasty also fought with the West several times before, but it can be said that it was only a small-scale fight, but this time it was different, it could be regarded as a head-on collision, and the defeat of the Dutch would inevitably have a huge impact on other countries in the West.

When the Ming Dynasty and the West collided fiercely in the South Seas, in fact, on the banks of the Volga River, another collision between the East and the West also kicked off······
