Chapter 136: Jinzhou's New Deal

A small castle in the old port could not withstand the beating at all, and a small castle covering an area of only more than 1,000 square meters was crowded with more than 1,000 people, and it was unbearable on a hot day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info these are nothing, the Ming army outside set up cannons to bombard the castle, one after another shells smashed on the wall, causing the stones and bricks inside the castle to crack, and the crowded castle suddenly suffered heavy casualties.

The Dutch organized more than 500 men to storm out of the castle in an attempt to fight a counterattack. However, as soon as the Dutch walked out of the castle, they were bombarded by the intensive artillery bombardment of the allied forces, suffered heavy casualties, left behind more than 80 corpses, and fled back to the castle with more than 100 wounded soldiers.

The Ming army outside the city continued to shell, followed by mortar bombardment, and finally the Dutch inside the castle walked out of the castle with a white flag and surrendered to the coalition forces outside.

The old port fell into the hands of the Ming army, the city where the Ming Dynasty once set up the old port propaganda department, and now back in the hands of the Ming army, Li Dingguo happily announced that the old port had been recovered.

The so-called Xuanwei Division is the land of the Ming Dynasty, and the old port belonged to the overseas enclave of the Ming Dynasty, where many Chinese naturally lived. Later, the Majapahit kingdom on the island of Java occupied Sumatra, and the Ming Dynasty lost this land.

Later, Western colonists arrived one after another, and the local aboriginal government was also driven away, and it became the sphere of influence of Western colonists. The Dutch built castles here, using the locals to control the city.

The Dutch also felt that the quality of the Chinese was relatively high, and used the Chinese to deal with the local natives. Later, however, the Dutch felt that the Chinese did not listen to them, so they created contradictions between the Chinese and the locals, and caused many incidents of local people killing Chinese, so as to weaken the Chinese power.

The Chinese in the Old Port saw the Ming army landing and defeated the Dutch, and these Chinese lined up in the city to meet the Ming army as if they had seen their own relatives.

After the Ming army occupied the old port, people from the Nanyang Company also came in and announced the establishment of factories, plantations, breeding farms, and banks here.

Li Dingguo handed over this place to the escort team of the Nanyang Company, which did not belong to the official establishment of the Ming army, and set off with the army himself. The Ming army's goal was Batavia, and the Old Port was just a city to regain by hand.

The blue-clad Nanyang Company escort took control of the city, and although it was only a company escort, the escort was well-armed and well-equipped, and many of its members were former Qing prisoners, including Manchurians and Mongols, who played the role of thugs here.

Wang Dong, a Manchurian whose original name was Dahab, now regards himself as a Han completely, except for the fact that they dare not keep long hair because the climate in Nanyang is too hot, and the rest of the clothes on his body are Han dress. In order to adapt to the heat of the South Seas, they shaved their heads and matched them with blue military uniforms on their bodies, looking majestic.

The convoy of the Nanyang Company that remained in the Old Port consisted of three hundred and fifty men, including fifty gunners, one hundred sword and shield men, fifty pikemen, one hundred musketeers, and fifty archers. All infantry were clad in rattan armor, and musketeers and archers were armed with daggers and could participate in melee combat.

The musketeers used older arquebuses, known as bird guns, but they were sufficient against the local natives. The archers were all the original captured Manchurian Eight Bannermen, who were very fierce and used powerful compound bows.

To the indigenous people who come to do business honestly, Nanyang Company welcomes it. However, many of the natives had become arrogant with the support of the Dutch, and thought that they could still rob the Han Chinese as before, but they were all mercilessly killed by the escorts.

Not long after the main force of the Ming army left, there was a riot in the old port, the cause of the riot was that an indigenous person maliciously lowered the price, and finally started to rob and injure the Chinese.

In the eyes of the natives, the Han people have always been a group of cowardly sheep. It is for this reason that the indigenous people, with the support of the Dutch, dared to bully the Han Chinese. Although the Han resisted, they could not defeat the local natives.

This time, the natives did not understand the situation, and repeated the old trick to bully the Han Chinese. As a result, the Nanyang Company escort unceremoniously arrested the natives who beat them and sentenced them to flogging and 10 lashes.

Tearing off his shirt and whipping him on his back with a leather whip soaked in salt water was not pleasant. The first whip hits it, and the whole back is fleshy. After ten lashes, the native had half a life left.

As a result, on the same night, the natives launched a large-scale retaliation against the local Nanyang Company convoy. A large number of natives armed with machetes, spears, bows and arrows, and even muskets marched towards the old port city.

The Nanyang Company escort was on standby, and when the local natives who were making trouble came into range, six Franc cannons opened fire, and the aborigines were scattered.

When a few shells fell into their crowd, killing and injuring dozens of natives, these natives began to make a big mess and turned around and ran.

The convoy did not let the natives go unpunished, and with a command, the convoy infantry rushed out, archers and musketeers fired from behind, and swordsmen, shieldmen and pikemen slashed and slashed in front, until the natives were bleeding.

After the riots were suppressed, most of the local natives were much more honest, but there were still many local natives who were ready to take on the Han Chinese.

Next, Lin Baiyu, who served as the captain of the Nanyang Company's old port guard team in the old port, issued an order: "If you massacre one of my Han Chinese, ten natives will pay for their lives!" ”

Three days later, another incident occurred: a Han merchant was killed on the way, and the indigenous people who had killed the Han Chinese fled into a local indigenous village.

Lin Baiyu immediately raised troops and surrounded the village with the escort team of the Nanyang Company. He first asked people to shout: The murderer of the Han people must be handed over within one hour, otherwise he will invade the village and kill no chickens and dogs.

In the end, the natives in the village did not hand over the murderer, so the Nanyang Company escort opened artillery bombardment, and after several rounds of shells, the escort team entered the village and killed more than 160 people in the village.

A few days later, Lin Baiyu issued a new order: "For some dishonest local leaders, in the future, force them to raise pigs in the Qing [zhen} temple in the future!" ”

Naturally, this order was not given to all villages, but according to the information provided by the agents, some villages were very dishonest, so Lin Baiyu named and ordered those villages to raise pigs.

The locals all believe in the Green Religion and force them to raise pigs, and they raise pigs in a river crab temple, which means that you can imagine it with your ass.

As a result, the named villages would not be honest to carry out, many locals rebelled against this order, and the Nanyang Company did not be polite to them, and after slaughtering a few villages, some villages that were named and had to raise pigs had to honestly raise pigs in the river crab temple.

Anyway, Wang Xinyu thinks that it will not be too much to deal with Indonesian monkeys. In real history, are there still fewer Chinese killed by Indonesians?

Later, a large number of Han people immigrated one after another, and those Han people were named "construction camps" by Wang Xinyu, and each family was issued with weapons, and a number of construction camps formed a construction town. The officers and men of the construction battalion usually cultivated the land for construction, and at the same time worked part-time to deal with some local green cultists who were a headache.

With the construction camp pressure array, the Nanyang Company's escort team was freed up to explore deeper into the island, develop more land, and let more Han people come to Jinzhou Island to participate in the construction.

The island of Sumatra, according to the Han Chinese, also became Jinzhou Island.

But those were all later, after the main force of the Ming army left Jinzhou, it sailed in the direction of Batavia.

In the port of Batavia, there were not many Dutch warships, and they were all armed merchant ships. But Batavia was the location of the Dutch East India Company, and the batteries outside the harbor could form a solid defensive formation, discouraged all fleets that tried to attack.

In order to cooperate with the navy in the capture of Batavia, the marines led by Hood Dedi took on the task of dealing with the batteries.

There are more than 5,000 marines brought out by Emperor Hu this time, including more than 500 marines and special forces. The special forces of the Marine Corps have higher requirements than those of the Ming Army, everyone is familiar with the water, has strong martial arts, is one in a million miles, and the weapons and equipment are also the most sophisticated.

On the 23rd of June, the main fleet of the coalition forces had not yet arrived in Batavia, and the scattered special forces of the Marine Corps had already arrived in Batavia one after another.

Outside Batavia, a man with unkempt hair and black skin, shirtless and wearing only a pair of sackcloth trousers, carried a fish and stepped down from a canoe, followed by two men in the same costume.

In fact, these three people are all special operations members of the Marine Corps, and the person at the head is Emperor Hu De. They dressed up as local natives and mingled among the natives, not to mention that the Dutch did not recognize them at all, and even the local natives would regard them as if they were of the same kind.

"Sell the fish! Sell fish! "Hood was selling in the city of Batavia.

A man who looked like a Han man came up, gave him a few copper plates, and carried the fish away. In fact, when the Han man was giving the copper plate, he quietly stuffed a note into the hand of Emperor Hu De.

Leaving the city and returning to the canoe, Beard opened the note, only to see that the number of garrisons of several Dutch batteries, the time of the changing of the guard, the allocation of troops, the number and type of artillery were written, and a simple sketch of the Dutch batteries was drawn.

The Han man who had just bought the fish was an intelligence officer of the Nanyang Navy who had been operating in Batavia, and he had lived here for a long time under the guise of being a merchant man, secretly collecting intelligence, and had long since found out the information of the Dutch army in Batavia. Before the arrival of the army, send the invitation to Emperor Hude.

In fact, in Batavia, there are not too many intelligence officers like this.

However, to be honest, the intelligence network of the Ming army in Batavia is not very strong, and it is not particularly tightly organized, compared to the Tiandihui operating within the Qing court, the intelligence network in Nanyang is not of the same grade at all, and many intelligence personnel are actually part-time employees of Nanyang Company. But such an intelligence network was more than enough to deal with the Dutch.

The counter-espionage capability of the Dutch is indeed too poor, and the intelligence officers of the Ming army have been operating in Batavia for a long time, and the Dutch actually know nothing about it. In fact, this is also because the Dutch have too few people to organize an effective intelligence network, and they have no awareness of intelligence work and counter-espionage work in the colonies, because they mainly contact the local indigenous people, and they also have to deal with the indigenous people.

Is it necessary to deal with the indigenous people, intelligence work and counterintelligence work?

Even when the Dutch were in Taiwan, the intelligence work and counter-espionage work were very poor, and the result was that Zheng Chenggong found out clearly, and the Dutch could only speculate unfounded about Zheng Chenggong's possible attack.

Batavia's intelligence officers, though not particularly professional, received the most accurate and reliable information.

After obtaining accurate and reliable information, Hu Dedi began to plan a sneak attack on the fort.

Marine special forces disguised as local natives had long been rowing canoes out to sea, and when they reached the open sea, the special forces got on a catamaran clipper that had been waiting for a long time to meet with the main fleet.

"Got the information of the Dutch? Not bad! Zhang Yukun was very satisfied after seeing the information.

"My lord, we will probably do it tomorrow night to the early morning of the day after tomorrow." The man said.

Zhang Yukun asked: "Then our fleet will enter the port at five o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, can you get everything done?" ”

"No problem at all!" The special operator replied.

Zhang Yukun smiled and nodded: "Okay!" Then we will enter the port on time at five o'clock the next morning! ”

The action of sneaking up on the fort was naturally done by Emperor Hu De, who was familiar with this set. The Dutch had suffered two night attacks before, so they strengthened their vigilance. Later, because of the signing of a treaty with Wang Xinyu, he relaxed. But now that the Dutch are once again torn apart with the Ming army, this vigilance has naturally strengthened again.

According to the information provided by the intelligence officers, Hu Dedi knew that this time the sneak attack would be much more difficult than before. The Dutch imitated the watchtowers built by the Nanyang Company to open gold mines, and built several watchtowers in the fort to serve as a guard, and every night, the Dutch lit bonfires in the fort to illuminate the fort as if it were day.

It can be said that it is very difficult for the attackers to succeed in a completely silent sneak attack.

In the past few days, special combat personnel disguised as local natives, Chinese businessmen, and local fishermen have arrived one after another through different channels and quietly gathered near Batavia.

As early as five days ago, Hu Dedi led more than 20 special combat soldiers to slaughter a local indigenous village. Now the village is a stronghold for the special operators. Although Tu Village killed many women, children, the old and weak, Emperor Hu De was deeply influenced by Wang Xinyu, and he did not have the slightest ideological pressure to kill those Indonesian monkeys.

Indonesian monkeys have killed a lot of Chinese in history, and now Wang Xinyu is killing them, just to prevent trouble. (To be continued.) )
