Chapter 213 Unexpected results

The Dutch in Malacca have actually been aware of the actions of China and North Korea in advance. Over the past year, ships of North and North Korea have often appeared in the Strait of Malacca. These ships are not ships of the Greater China and North Korea Maritime Trading Group, but look more like some reconnaissance ships.

In addition, they also got the news that Dazhong Dynasty suddenly built a castle on Batam Island six months ago, and also built a large wharf and more than a dozen large trestle bridges in Batam Port.

In addition, there is also news that the Great Zhong Dynasty controlled the Gulfs of Toulon and Jinlan in Vietnam, and established castles and docks. All kinds of signs show that the Great Zhong Dynasty is no longer satisfied with attacking Manila. Their next step is likely to be their Dutch Batavia, the stomachs of these indigenous Chinese. The mouth is a little too big!

People at the Asian headquarters of the Dutch East India Company in Batavia began to get nervous. They have completely seen the awakening of an oriental giant through the Battle of Taiwan, and also the strength of the Chinese people.

After the establishment of the Great China Dynasty, the rapid rise of the Chinese people at sea made them a little overwhelmed by the Dutch who called themselves carriagemen on the sea.

The Chinese began to pay attention to the sea again at a flying speed, and quickly learned shipbuilding technology and artillery technology from their West. They not only suddenly surpassed their Westerners in the quality of firearms, but also began to catch up in shipbuilding technology and have caught up with their shipbuilding skills. Art.

This is not the most terrible thing. This oriental giant really contains huge energy. Once they realize the importance of the sea, the energy they burst out is not comparable to that of Western countries.

This rich country has inexhaustible human resources. Once they mobilize these human resources, the power they show is terrible that their Westerners can't compare with them.

In just a few years, the Chinese, who were still looked down upon by them, could no longer only manipulate the backward Kerong ship and fight at sea, but began to have a large number of ships that could be the same as the Galen ship they were proud of, across the sea.

If in the past, if the Chinese attacked Taiwan Island, they could also send ships to the coast of China to retaliate, but now the Dutch find that they can no longer do this. Dazhong and North Korea have taught them a lesson on Taiwan Island, and taught the Spaniards a hard lesson, and kicked the Spaniards from him. The Philippines, which has been operating for hundreds of years, has been kicked out. Now it seems that the Chinese want to kick them out of Batavia and completely turn the South China Sea into their bath tub.

But are the Dutch willing to go like this? Obviously, they don't want to. This is the kingdom of spices. The spices produced here are lucrative goods for them. At the same time, the silk, raw silk, exquisite ceramics, and those magical teas of the Chinese people are all what their Westerners need. It is impossible to give up here.

So the Dutch recently began to send more troops from India and towards Batavia, and transferred more ships to prepare for the attack of the Chinese and North Korean army.

But what they didn't expect was that Dazhongchao did not focus on Batavia, which they regarded as a forbidden place, but focused on Malacca, which had just been occupied by them!

When the Chinese fleet appeared in the Strait of Malacca, the Dutch realized that they were wrong, but at this time, it was too late to make adjustments.

In Malacca, the Dutch have a total strength of more than 1,000 people, and there are only a few small patrol boats, which can't stop the landing of the large and medium-sized army fleet at all.

In just three days, the Dutch defenders of Malacca, under the overwhelming gunfire of the Great Central Korea, raised a white flag and announced its surrender. The army of the Great Central Dynasty quickly controlled the city of Malacca and immediately began to land on Langsang Island on the other side of Malacca, quickly starting to build a city. Fort, and set up a fort.

At this time, the Dutch understood that the Greater China and North Korea did not intend to attack their Batavia headquarters immediately, but stared at the Strait of Malacca, the golden waterway of Asia.

China and North Korea clearly recognize the importance of the Strait of Malacca to the Chinese people. As long as they control the Strait of Malacca, it is equivalent to locking the gate of Asia. In the future, all ships going to China must pass under their muzzle. So no matter who will deal with the Chinese people in the future, they will You have to listen to the instructions of the Chinese people.

So the Dutch regretted it and quickly sent a fleet from Batavia to Malacca, trying to recover Malacca and expel the Chinese who had just captured here.

However, when their fleet arrived in the waters around the Riau Islands, they once again encountered the fleet of Dazhong North Korea, which had been waiting here.

The two sides immediately launched a large-scale naval battle. This time, the Dutch invested more than 30 warships and armed merchant ships, as well as dozens of small boats.

However, the navy of China and North Korea has invested more than twice as many warships as theirs. The strength of the two sides is very different. Although the Dutch have more experience in naval warfare, the numerical disadvantage offsets their advantage. In addition, the sailors of the Royal Navy of the Great China and North Korea and their young incredible captains are all very He was brave, and the artillery range and power of the Great China and North Korea also had an advantage. First, the two sides launched an artillery battle, and then began to fight on the side. The battle was very fierce.

After a day of fierce fighting, both sides suffered losses, but it was obvious that the Royal Navy of the Great China and North Korea took the initiative on the battlefield. After a fierce battle, the Dutch lost nearly half of the warships and almost all the boats, and the Great China and North Korea also sank five warships and more than a dozen small waiting ships.

In the end, the Dutch finally couldn't hold on and took the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield. The Dazhong North Korean navy was unreasonable and launched a pursuit of the Dutchman. It was not until late at night that the Dutchman lost four large armed merchant ships before they were able to leave the Dazhong North Korean navy and fled back to Batavia.

But he didn't think that Zheng Sen, the young commander of the Chinese fleet, after winning the naval battle, was unreasonable. He did not lead the fleet to retreat to Batam Port to rest, but let the more damaged ships return to Batam Port first. The rest of the ships, led by his flagship, unexpectedly chased to the port of Batavia. .

Zheng Sen was bold. After brazenly leading the fleet to the port of Batavia without the permission of the imperial court, he commanded the fleet to line up. First, he fiercely shelled the dock of the port of Batavia, and more than a dozen Dutch ships that managed to escape back here. It was full of holes, and they hung white flags to announce their surrender.

After that, Zheng Sen commanded the fleet to start shelling the turrets on the shore, destroying several Dutch turrets at the seaside one after another, which made the fleet approach the coast and began a fierce bombardment of Batavia for a day and night.

The city of Batavia can only tremble in the gunfire of large and medium warships. The Dutch in the city are frightened and panic like a homeless dog.

In the end, he couldn't stand the fierce shelling of the large and medium-sized fleet. The governor of Batavia actually decided to surrender and sent people to the beach with a white flag and asked for negotiations with the commander of the large and medium-sized fleet.

Zheng Sen did not expect to capture Batavia. He led the fleet here. The main purpose was to punish the Dutch, so that they would not dare to move the idea of the Strait of Malacca in the future, but he didn't expect that the Dutch were so impatient that they would hit the white flag with a cannon.

At this time, the fleet led by Zheng Sen was actually a foreign force. First, they carried out a large-scale naval battle, then shelled the wharf and fort, and then shelled the city of Batavia. The ammunition carried on the ship had actually been run out. Zheng Sen was ready to order to turn back to Batam Port to replenish ammunition. But I didn't expect that at this time, the Dutch would surrender with a white flag!

Zheng Sen was very happy at this time. He immediately ordered to stop the evacuation. He sent the ship back to Batam Harbor to greet the merchant ship there and immediately delivered ammunition supplies to the port of Batavia. He led the fleet to anchor outside the port and continued to continue to bombard without surrender.

Then Zheng Sen sent a small boat to take the governor of Batavia to his flagship, and the two sides immediately started a negotiation. The governor of Batavia did not know that the young Chinese fleet commander was acting without authorization, so he asked Zheng Sen to make a condition.

After thinking about it, Zheng Sen rashly proposed to order the Dutch withdraw from Batavia, hand over Batavia to China and North Korea, and let the Dutch recognize the status of the Kingdom of Malacca. At the same time, he also handed over Borneo, which the Dutch took from the Portuguese.

The governor of Batavia had no choice but to agree to Zheng Sen's request, but he proposed that they could withdraw, but asked Dazhong North Korea to allow them to keep a commercial hall in Batavia as their commercial and trade place in this area. At the same time, Zheng Sen asked them to allow them to repair the boat before leaving here. No Then they can't take these broken boats back to their Galle, India.

Zheng Sen didn't expect the Dutch to agree so happily, so he immediately agreed to the Dutchman's request to allow the Dutch to repair the ship before withdrawing from Batavia.

So far, the Dutch East India Company, after the Battle of Taiwan, the Battle of Riau and the Battle of the Port of Batavia, more than 40 warships and more than 150 armed cargo ships owned by the company have basically lost more than half of them. In fact, it is on the verge of bankruptcy and has long been unable to fight in the South China Sea and Greater China and North Korea. There is a confrontation.

At this time, although the Dutch were still very strong at sea, the Dutch were fighting for hegemony in the Atlantic Ocean with the British during this period. Even if they knew about the East India Company, they were unable to pull out more warships to fight in Asia and China and North Korea.

So Zheng Sen accidentally cleared the Dutch East India Company from the Nanyang area, rushed back to Garrett in Ceylon, and completely controlled the South China Sea.

But Zheng Sen did not act according to the original plan after all. Although he won a great victory, he didn't have much army to occupy Batavia. He can't transfer all the sailors on the ship to land and occupy Batavia!

After the end of the negotiations, he asked each ship to draw one-third of the sailors to land first, form a receiving army, and take over the important locations in Batavia, while quickly sending people to transfer the land division defenders to Malacca and Batang Port to help receive Batavia.

In addition, he also remembered that he made a big deal this time, and he didn't know what was going on here in China, so he quickly sent a speedboat back to China to inform the court of the situation, and asked the court to immediately send reinforcements to take over the Dutch castle villages around Borneo and Java and establish the rule here.

More than two months later, when the news of Zheng Sen's capture of Batavia reached Beijing, Xiao Tianjian was really surprised and happy when he looked at the war report submitted by Zheng Sen and the results of his negotiations with the Dutch. In addition, he was a little surprised and laughing.

Originally, he sent troops to attack Malacca this time, but he didn't think about it for the time being. He took the opportunity to immediately take down Batavia and expelled the Dutch from the Nanyang area. However, he didn't expect that Zheng Sen was bold enough to take down Malacca, and then led the fleet to run to Badawi without authorization. Ya, go and bombard the city of Batavia.

As a result, under a burst of gunfire, the Dutch governor of Batavia actually peed his pants on the spot and directly announced his surrender. This was a good thing. Suddenly, the whole Nanyang area became his territory of Dazhong Dynasty.

After the cabinet learned the news, it was also a little embarrassed to laugh and cry. I don't know whether it was time to reward Zheng Sen or to arrest this presumptuous guy back to plead guilty!

This sudden change made everyone a little unprepared, so the cabinet and Xiao Tianjian discussed the arrangement overnight, and immediately ordered the dispatch of additional ships to ship an infantry division of the Southeast Military Region to board the ship directly from Ningbo Prefecture and go to Batavia to take over the local defense.

Xiao Tianjian did not reprimand Zheng Sen for his actions beyond his authority. Instead, he opposed the public discussion and issued a decree to encourage Zheng Sen and the naval officers who participated in the war. At the same time, he announced the establishment of the Nanyang Fleet on the basis of the dispatch fleet in the South China Sea War, and Zheng Sen was promoted to the commander of the Nanyang Fleet. The fleet headquarters will be stationed in In the port of Batavia, the fleet was stationed in Malacca, Batam Port and Batavia respectively. It was responsible for the management and rule of the waters of the South Sea, and awarded Zheng Sen as the third-class Haibo to show the reward for his command of the capture of Malacca and Batavia.

(Today's special thanks to skydiou's friend's reward! In addition, I would like to tell you a sad news that the plan to upload a new book at the end of the book has been stranded! The editor-in-chief of Zongheng once again proposed amendments to my new book. I'm afraid there will be more good things to do! I guess the bosses expect too much from me, so this new book is a little difficult to produce! However, I believe that after thinking about it again and again, the quality of the new book will not be too bad! Now the opinion of the bosses is that I can start uploading new books at the end of the month! So I'm afraid I can't catch up with the old book!)
