Chapter 1062 Take Ji Adin!

（1062）

[New book toss...... Remnant ......]

Chi Adin, which is now Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam (formerly known as Saigon). The origin of this name should be translated from Jiading City. When the Kingdom of Chenla ruled this region, its name was Jiading City. After the arrival of the Dutch, they forcibly leased the area from Vietnam and named it Guiadin.

The Dutch governor in Guiadin, called Alihan. He was a Dutch investor who specialized in dealing with banks, but when his investment failed, he had to come to the Far East to work for the East India Company. Speaking of which, he owes the East India Company a lot of debts. I'm afraid that in three or five years, it will be impossible to pay it off.

Since the fall of Taiwan, Alihan's heart has been up and down. Every morning when I wake up, I always feel that my eyelids are beating violently. Even when drinking tea and coffee, my wrist will not shake involuntarily. Each time, he would uncontrollably slam the spoon against the top of the coffee cup, making a clanging sound.

The reason for this reaction was mainly that he felt that the pace of the Tiger Ben Army going south was getting closer and closer. As the governor of Quiadin, his good days do not know when they will end. He didn't even know if his own life would be saved if the Tiger Ben Army arrived. Although he owed a lot of debts to the East India Company, he really didn't want to die!

It's a pity that if you want to die or not, the initiative doesn't seem to be in his hands. In fact, the initiative to control his life and death is in the hands of the Tiger Army. After conquering the island of Taiwan, the Huben navy built an advance base on Hainan Island and gathered a large number of warships. A reconnaissance fleet of the Dutch Navy discovered that on Hainan Island, the Huben Navy had gathered at least 100 large warships. Among them, there are also behemoths that have never been seen before.

Idiots can see that the Tiger Ben Army is targeting the Dutch. To be precise, it was aimed at the Dutch-controlled ports of Keadin and Brunei. Because, if the Tiger Army was aimed at the Spaniards, they should have launched an attack on Manila. The attack on Manila from the island of Taiwan is much closer than the attack on both Giadin and Brunei. Since the Tiger Navy spared Manila, it means that they are going to exterminate the Dutch.

"What do you think, Dezeu?"

Alihan was a little dazed and said helplessly.

The Dutch governor's residence in Guiadin was built very beautifully. This is a white palace huā garden, covering an area of more than 30 acres. The exterior of the building is all exquisitely white. Inside, there is a precious nanmu floor. Almost all of the floors are covered with a thick carpet of sheep máo.

In the open space of the huā garden, the trees are shady and the huā is splendid. Since the greenery is very good, you can feel the coolness even on a hot summer day. Usually, in the afternoon, Alihan's favorite thing to do is to sit under the shade of a tree and have a delicious afternoon tea, even in the hottest month of July.

However, during this time, Alihan had no thoughts. Even if the shì woman brought the coffee to his mouth, he didn't have the hope of tasting it. Similarly, Dezeu was not in the mood. He was even more depressed than Alihan, and for the whole afternoon his head hung as if he were embarrassed to see anyone.

"Mr. Governor, I have a bad premonition."

Dezeu sat across from Alihan and said in a bitter tone.

As he spoke, the coffee cup in his hand shook involuntarily, and the coffee inside was almost shaken out. With great difficulty, he managed to control his hand and slowly placed the coffee cup on the table. As a result, his power is a little greater.

"Ding!"

The coffee cup falls on the saucer with a crisp sound.

Dezewu sighed helplessly in his heart, Mr. Governor's hand seemed to be becoming more and more uncontrollable! If this continues, I am afraid that Mr. Governor will one day lie in the hospital. Of course, the premise is that the Tiger Army Navy has not yet arrived.

The Dutch were responsible for protecting Guiadin's naval fleet, and the commander was none other than Rear Admiral Dezeu. Like Rear Admiral Bluffhead, the Dezew fleet belonged to the battle sequence of the second-tier fleet, and its main purpose was to escort the merchant fleet.

Originally, Dezeu's naval fleet was still relatively strong, about the same as Bluffhead's fleet. However, after the defeat of the main fleet of the Dutch Navy led by Vice Admiral Rezger, the Dutch transferred all the main warships from the naval fleet of Dezeu in order to strengthen the defense of Jakarta and the surrounding area. In this way, the combat effectiveness of Dezeu's fleet was greatly weakened.

The purpose of the Dutchman's top brass in doing this is naturally to lose the car and protect the commander. Giadin's status, in any case, is not comparable to that of Batavia. For the sake of Batavia's security, the Dutch had to concentrate as much of their fighting power as possible around Batavia. Even, some of the top executives of the East India Company have begun to consider whether to abandon the more remote Giadin. Since you can't defend it, what are you left for?

Alihan said worriedly, "What do you think ......?"

Dezewu said helplessly: "Mr. Governor, if the Tiger Ben Navy attacks Jiadin, it will be impossible for the Batavia side to support us. I believe this, Mr. Governor, is also clear, and I will not go into details. ”

Alihan smiled helplessly and did not speak.

Yes, he did know very well that if the Tiger Ben Navy came at this time, it would indeed be impossible for the Batavia side to provide support to Giadin. In other words, Giadin is already an abandoned child, just waiting for the Tiger Army to pick it up.

I'm afraid that no one wants to see such a result. However, they must both admit that this is true. Now, the only question is when the person who is going to pick up the child will appear.

……

At the end of July, the people who picked up the children came.

After several days of long travel, the combined fleet of the Tiger Ben Navy, under the personal command of Zhang Zhun, appeared outside the port of Jiadin.

In order to attack Jiadin, Zhang Zhun dispatched the first and fourth naval fleets, and a third fleet to monitor the direction of Brunei. The two naval fleets, with more than fifteen Vajra ships, fifty Dragon God ships, and one hundred saber ships, suddenly filled the sea outside Ji Adin.

The news immediately reached the ears of Alihan and Dezeu, who hurried to the sentry tower of the harbor, raised their binoculars, and took a closer look. At the first glance of the clairvoyant mirror, seeing the dense Tiger Ben Navy warships, the hearts of the two of them sank quickly. This person who came to pick up the child is too cruel.

"Damn it!"

"What's that?"

Alihan exclaimed involuntarily.

It turned out that he had discovered the King Kong ship of the Tiger Army Navy.

Although I had received a report before, saying that it was a reconnaissance fleet, it had been discovered that there were new giant warships in the Tiger Ben Navy. However, when he didn't see it with his own eyes, Alihan didn't feel very shocked. However, when he saw these dozen or so giant warships with his own eyes, the last trace of luck left in his heart was all shattered.

"That's the giant battleship of the Tiger Navy!"

Dezeu muttered bitterly.

The only hope of the Dutch for the Tiger Navy was that although the opponent had a large number of warships, none of them had a displacement of more than 1,000 tons. If the Dutch Navy were to fight the Tiger Navy again, the Dutch Navy could rely on the tonnage of the battleships and the oversized guns to retreat the Tiger Navy. In other words, quality over quantity.

But now, it's over, the Tiger Army Navy, there are already giant battleships with a displacement of more than a thousand tons. This means that in terms of the quality of battleships, there is no fundamental difference between the Tiger Navy and the Dutch Navy. How much difference can there be between a displacement of 1200 tons and a displacement of 1500 tons?

Sixteen King Kong ships, lined up on the sea, that silent and silent power, made everyone feel awe. All the Dutchmen of Guiadin, when they saw these silent beasts, closed their mouths in amusement. Most people knew very well that the Batavian side would not reinforce them. They can only rely on their own strength to deal with these behemoths. But do they have what it takes?

Alihan turned his head to look at Dezeu.

Dezeu also looked at Alihan helplessly.

Alihan had no choice but to sigh helplessly and remain silent.

In Dezewu's hands, there are only a dozen warships with a displacement of less than 1,000 tons, and in the face of such a huge tiger fleet, if Dezeu is forced to start a battle, it is completely suicidal. Such an order is too impersonal.

"Surrender!"

Alihan had no choice but to say helplessly.

"Okay!"

De Zeu had no objection at all.

Even, he was ready for how much ransom he would need to pay to return to Holland after he surrendered. He had already found out that the Tiger Army's demand for ransom did not seem to be very high. Even for someone of Putman's stature, the Tiger Army only charged five hundred pounds. Compared to Putman, he was £300 at most.

Soon, over the port of Giadin, a white flag was raised. The Dutch, who laid down their arms, were all neatly assembled under the white flag, waiting for the verdict of fate.

……

"Your Majesty, the Dutch have surrendered."

On the command ship of "Navy No. 1", Wang Shide reported to Zhang Zhun.

Navy No. 1 is Zhang Zhun's special command ship, which was specially modified from the captured three-masted gunboats of the Zheng family's fleet. Navy One itself is not heavily armed, but provides relatively comfortable housing, as well as adequate food and health personnel.

"See."

Zhang Zhun said quietly.

The Dutchmen of Guiadin were still wise and chose to surrender. Otherwise, with the strength of the two fleets of the Tiger Ben Navy, it is enough to grind them all into powder. Originally, Zhang Zhun thought that he would teach the Dutch a hard lesson in Giadin, and by the way, witness the actual combat effectiveness of the King Kong ship. As a result, this small wish was frustrated.

However, this is also good, and it is the best policy to surrender without a fight. It is best that when the Tiger Ben Navy arrives in Batavia, the Dutch in Batavia will also make such a choice, so that the Tiger Ben Navy will take Batavia bloodlessly. Of course, now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's unlikely.

If the Dutch Navy took the initiative to abandon Batavia, it would mean that they would give up all their interests in the Far East. This is not possible for the Dutch. It must be known that every year in the Netherlands, the East India Company receives great profits. Without these huge gains, the national strength of the Netherlands would have been affected.

Zhang Zhun estimated that now, in the Netherlands, there should be a debate or a study on how to support the Far East. Is it to send one or more main fleets to arrive? Or is it something else? As the Tiger Navy moved closer to Batavia, the Dutch country had to make a decision.

……

"Dock!"

Li Ji gave the order.

As the main force of the attack, the First Fleet once again took the lead.

Under the cover of the King Kong ship, the five transport ships slowly went ashore, and the marines on board were all ready for battle. On both sides of the transport ship, the rope ladders that were climbed have all been lowered. If the transport ship could not dock smoothly at the edge of the trestle, they would climb up to the top of the sampan along the rope ladder, and then use the sampan to force the landing.

Obviously, these preparations of the Tigerben Army Marine Corps did not play a role. Because, the Dutch garrison of Guiadin showed no sign of resistance at all. From the clairvoyant mirror, it can be seen that the Dutch must have laid down their weapons and waited for the Tiger Army to come and accept the surrender.

In a short period of time, five transport ships docked on the trestle one after another. As the largest port city in southern Vietnam, the terminal facilities in Cat Adin are quite complete. All the trestles are very strong and show no signs of being damaged. After the transport ship of the Tiger Ben Navy docked up, the gangplank was quickly lowered.

"Up!"

Lu Liangyu gestured.

The gangplank was lowered, and the soldiers of the Marine Corps continued to step on the trestle, and then expanded to the inside of the harbor. The figure of the forward team soon disappeared from Lu Liangyu's field of vision. Soon after, red pennants appeared at various vantage points in the port. Some of the commanding heights are also chā on the military flag of the Tiger Ben Army.

"Zone 1 is safe."

"Zone 2 Security."

"Zone 3 Security."

"Zone 4 Security."

……

The news kept coming.

Lu Liangyu held the clairvoyant mirror and confirmed them one by one.

The Marine Corps participating in this battle was the Catfish Battalion commanded by Lu Liangyu. It is the youngest battalion of the Marine Corps in a combat sequence. Due to the young size of the troops, Zhang Zhun gave them more opportunities to fight.

Each of the three battalions of the Huben Marine Corps has expanded to more than 3,000 men. In just half an hour, more than 3,000 people all went ashore. Soon, the Huben Army Marines occupied all the commanding heights of Jiadin. Important facilities such as armories, material warehouses, commercial banks, and banks were also controlled by the Tiger Army.

The Dutchmen on the dock all wisely raised their hands and waited for the processing. Looking at the soldiers of the Tiger Army, holding shiny bayonets, passing by their side, their expressions were not particularly nervous. Because, from the companions redeemed from the island of Taiwan, they have learned that as long as they do not do stupid acts, the Tiger Ben Army will not harm them. But if they're not interesting, it's hard to tell.

……

"Your Majesty, the port is safe."

Lu Liangyu came to Zhang Zhun and reported immediately.

"Good!"

Zhang Zhun said with satisfaction.

The springboard was put down, and Zhang Zhun and his party slowly went ashore.

Alihan and Dezewu, as well as more than a dozen other Dutch high-ranking officials, under the guidance of Lu Liangyu, came to Zhang Zhun and formally surrendered to Zhang Zhun.

They had already seen Zhang Zhun's portrait before and knew that Zhang Zhun was a very young military commander, but when they saw Zhang Zhun with their own eyes, they were still taken aback. This emperor of the Chinese Empire is really too young. Alihan felt that his sons were a few years older than Zhang Zhun.

"I'm Zhang Zhun."

Zhang Zhun said straight to the point.

"You ......"

Alihan said subconsciously.

However, he soon sensed that something was wrong. The other party is not an ordinary person, but His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire. To use a title like "you" is obviously disrespectful. For the sake of his own life, he should immediately change to a more appropriate name.

For His Majesty the Emperor, Alihan actually doesn't have much respect. The Netherlands itself did not have a king and did not need a king. When the Dutch demanded independence, the first thing they had to deal with was the King of Spain. Because, as the King of Spain declared, he was also the King of the Dutch. Therefore, most of the Dutch people have a sense of resistance to royal power. Alihan is no exception.

However, the other party was His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, so he had to maintain absolute respect. Because, he knows very well that behind this person, what a huge country there is, what a powerful army. His respect for Zhang Zhun is purely a respect for strength, and it has nothing to do with personal feelings.

Completely different from Britain, Spain and other countries, the strength shown by the Chinese Empire is indeed too frightening. What's even worse is that the current strength of the Tiger Ben Navy is definitely not at its peak. In the future, the Tiger Army Navy will definitely become more powerful. Alihan was convinced of this.

Alihan straightened his thoughts, bent down slightly, and said as respectfully as possible: "Your Majesty, Honorable Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Ji Adin welcomes your arrival. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded lightly and said gently, "Mr. Alihan, there is no need to be formal. I'm glad you made an informed choice. Resolving disputes without bloodshed is, in my opinion, the best way to resolve them. ”

Alihan only smiled helplessly.

For Zhang Zhun, this is certainly a wise choice. However, for the Dutch, Alihan's approach was definitely to go to a military court. Surrender without a fight, and whoever is replaced will have to go to a military court. However, Alihan would rather go to court-martials than give up his life.
