The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 291: Van Diemen's Cruel Move! (two in one chapter)

There was smoke and dust everywhere, and there were explosions everywhere.

The rumble of the cannon scared Putmans into a panic.

I have never seen such a scene before, such a terrifying explosion, I am afraid that only the thunder in the sky can compare with it.

Under the bombardment of this kind of firepower, he didn't think his men could hold the city of Zeelandia.

The gate of the city has been blown down, and now there is something wrong with the fort. If you don't make corresponding plans, you may be buried here.

Putmans has made a lot of money over the years. For him, his life is still long, and it is impossible to lose his life here.

He fled down the wall, and with a few followers came to the port.

There were still a few Shangqie merchant ships docked at the port, and in a panic, they left on the merchant ships.

After Putmans left, almost all the remaining soldiers and horses in Zeelandia put down their weapons.

Some Hongyi soldiers, who had no time to run, hurried to drive the remaining merchant ships.

Those who missed the merchant ship jumped into the icy water and swam toward the merchant ship.

The sailing battleship was Zheng Chenggong's key target just now, and now almost all of them have been beaten to pieces.

Only those merchant ships remained relatively intact.

As for the rest who didn't have time to run, they all surrendered.

The leaders have all run away, what else can they do except surrender?
Don't expect these people to fight desperately and fight with their lives.

These people simply don't have that heart.

"Enter the city!"

Following Zheng Chenggong's order, the soldiers followed into the city of Zeelandia.

So far, the city of Zeelandia was recovered by Zheng Chenggong.

Relying on strong firepower, it is not a problem to regain the city of Zeelandia.

The matter here was quickly passed on to Sun Jie by Zhang Hai.

It is a good thing to regain the city of Zeelandia. Let Zheng Chenggong slowly develop there first, and then take over directly later.

Putmans fled on the sea with fear, for fear that Zheng Chenggong would catch up.

He never expected that Zheng Chenggong would be able to take down the city of Zeelandia in such a short period of time, nor would he have imagined that Zheng Chenggong would have such a powerful weapon.

The power of these weapons was beyond his imagination.

When he thought of the artillery fire that covered the sky and the sun, he panicked.

Not long after drifting on the sea, it docked in Batavia.

This port is extremely lush, merchant ships from all over the world gather here, and wealth also gathers here.

Putmans disembarked and went straight to the Governor's Palace.

The loss of Zeelandia City is extremely important. One bad situation will affect the entire situation in the east.

The location there is dangerous, and it is a good place to remotely control Daming and Wa kingdoms.

Occupy there, the profit will not stop.

In the Governor's Mansion, Van Diemen looked at Putmans standing in front of him with an uncertain expression.

"Do you know how important the city of Zeelandia is to us? Do you know what you are doing?" Van Diemen yelled loudly.

"It's none of my business, it's none of my business," Putmans explained.

It's because their strength is too strong, it really has nothing to do with me! "

Putmans was afraid that Fan Dimen would blame him for this matter, so he hastily explained the matter.

Even so, Van Diemen was not convinced.

"Who would believe what you said? The city of Zeelandia is a fortified city. Nothing has happened for so many years. Why did it suddenly fail this time?

And those weapons you talk about are just gibberish, do you know what you're talking about?It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous! "

Van Diemen yelled loudly.

A while ago, he sent Jesry to investigate the situation, but now nothing came back, not even a person.

This matter made him extremely worried, and now this kind of thing happened again, which made him even more uneasy.

Fan Dimen had never fought against Sun Jie, nor had he seen the weapons used by Zheng Chenggong, so he naturally did not believe what Putmans said.

In his opinion, these things are all nonsense.

People often have extremely stubborn ideas about things beyond their imagination.

This is the case with Van Diemen now.

He had never heard of anyone whose artillery could be so powerful.

Even if there is such artillery, it should be in the western world, not in this fallen eastern empire.

Now Van Diemen was filled with anger about losing Zeelandia, and he didn't want to think about it at all.

Seeing this, Putmans had no choice but to leave first.

In order to verify what Putmans said, Van Diemen sent another sailing battleship to Zeelandia.

The warship had just arrived in the waters outside the city of Zeelandia when it was bombarded by the city.

I don't know if they were lucky or not, a gas tank shell landed on the deck without exploding.

The artillery that Sun Jie gave to Zheng Chenggong basically lacked maintenance, and it was normal to have a few duds.

The blue cannon body, the thick body, weighs dozens of catties each.

The Hongyi immediately regarded this cannonball as a treasure.

The scene of the explosion on the sea just now made them fearful.

If they can crack the secret inside, it will be a big help for them.

After the sailing battleship docked, the sailors on board immediately sent the shell to the governor's mansion.

In the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, Fan Dimen looked horrified at the thick shell.

I have never seen such a thick shell.

Looking at the shell lying quietly on the ground, Van Diemen tapped it with his pipe.

The dull voice made Fan Diemen doubtful.

"This seems to be steel? What kind of gunpowder is it that can explode this steel? If such a big shell explodes, how powerful would it be?!"

Van Diemen muttered.

Standing behind him, Putmans explained: "Governor, this is the kind of shell that Zeelandia was bombed with. I remember it clearly!"

"Now is not the time to talk about this kind of thing, but to see if we can imitate it. If we can imitate it, it will be a great boost to our strength!" Fan Dimen looked solemn.

"If this kind of artillery can be shipped back, those old men will not lose our money."

No matter which way it is, this shell is very important.

Fan Dimen immediately asked the craftsmen in his hands to dismantle the shells.

Unfortunately, this shell cannot be dismantled at all.

The gas tank is welded with steel, and after the gunpowder is filled in, it is sealed inside with dead threads.

If you want to break open the tank and see the structure inside, you must cut the tank open.

There is no cold cutting technology in this era. If you don't pay attention, the tank will explode and there will be no survivors around.

No one dared to take the risk of an explosion. Van Diemen spent a long time and still got nothing.

Helpless, they had to send the shell back to the country.

After sending away the shells, Fan Dimen called all the sailing battleships back.

The fall of Zeelanzha, and the fall of Zheng Zhilong before, fell on Fan Dimen's chest like a heavy hammer.

Because he didn't know the connection between these two things, he had to be careful.

In addition, he also set his sights on the Ming people in Java.

In Batavia, there are many Ming people living, and these people are engaged in various jobs.

Some are engaged in handicrafts or service industries, but most are engaged in the lowest and most tiring jobs.

Hong Yi never regarded Ming people as human beings, but as laborers or slaves.

Batavia is currently the largest port in the East, where freight and business activities are very frequent.

In the era without industry, the loading of goods can only rely on manpower.

Most of the common people are engaged in this kind of work.

Although these Ming people are very serious in their work, the Hong Yi in Batavia is not at ease with these Ming people.

Especially in this situation now, Fan Diemen is full of vigilance towards these bright people.

There is a slum in the northwest corner of Batavia City. The area of ​​the slum is small, about the size of an ordinary town in Daming.

Almost 3 people live in this slum, which is extremely crowded.

Some of these Ming people lived here since they were young, but most of them were looted by Hong Yirang from the southeast coast of Daming.

The fall of Zeelandia made Fan Dimen vigilant, and turned his attention to these common people.

Hongyi likes to use Mingren because it is easy to use.

Compared with the aborigines, Ming people have qualities such as hard work and hard work.

Van Diemen was afraid that these Ming people would rise up against them, so he wanted to kill them.

The same is true in history.

In October of the fifth year of Qianlong's reign, Hongyi, out of fear of the Chinese, united with the local aborigines and began a massacre of the Chinese.

At that time, the Chinese in Batavia were almost robbed and killed.

Now, because of Sun Jie, the city of Zeelandia was recovered early, coupled with Sun Jie's rise, Zheng Zhilong's failure and other unstable factors, made Fan Dimen's inner fear intensify.

As the saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance, and a resistance is brewing in Batavia today.

"These hairy dogs have taken some kind of medicine, why are they patrolling so hard?"

A small house in the slum was full of people, as many as seven or eight people were crowded.

There was only one candle lit in the room, and it was dim and gloomy.

A young man sat in the corner and said in a low voice: "Yesterday morning, when I was carrying goods at the port, I saw a few Hongyi people rushing towards the governor's mansion carrying a large wooden box.

Listen to what those Hongyi said, what kind of shells are inside.In the past few days, there have been a lot more Hongyi and indigenous people nearby, and they are watching us.

Could it be that these two things have anything to do with each other? "

Young people have worked here for many years, and they can understand Hongyi's words.

He naturally listened to the conversation among these Hongyi people.

An older middle-aged man was sitting on the bed in the room. He was holding a cigarette pot and kept smashing it.

"I'm talking about Uncle Liu, just say it, you've been smoking here without saying a word, you've made us feel really confused." The young man looked at the middle-aged man and said anxiously.

Uncle Liu took the pipe pot out of his mouth, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but it's probably going to change. These red barbarians are not good things, and they must have no good intentions. If it doesn’t work out, it’s going to be another bloodbath.”

His tone was very low, as low as a rainy day in June.

The young man didn't know why, and asked, "What do you mean? Why can't I understand?!"

"Old Liu, do you mean that these red-haired dogs are going to attack us?"

A look of panic flashed in the eyes of a middle-aged man who was about the same age as Uncle Liu. He looked at Uncle Liu with a slightly trembling voice.

Uncle Liu sighed and said, "Oh, old Wang, isn't this obvious? It's not like this kind of thing has never happened before. It happened once in the forty years of Wanli.

At that time, there were three or four thousand Ming people in the city of Batavia.At that time, the three major campaigns of Wanli emptied the treasury, and the Emperor Wanli wanted to open mines to get some money.

I don't know which bastard told Emperor Wanli that Luzon and Java were full of gold and silver mines, and the imperial court could occupy these two places for mining.

At that time, the national treasury was empty, and Emperor Wanli moved his mind at that time, so he asked the commander-in-chief of the coastal provinces to lead the navy to explore.

At that time, the Flangji and Hongyi people in Luzon and Java thought that Ming was going to attack them, and in a panic, they instigated the local aborigines to attack the Ming.

Alas, I heard that almost all the Ming people in Luzon were killed at that time, and more than half of the Ming people in Batavia were also killed. "

The room was silent and cold like hell.

The young man was breathing wildly, only to feel that something was covering his nose.

"This, this, these barbarians, actually, dare to do this? No one cares? How dare they?" The young man trembled.

He was also afraid in his heart, he was afraid that this matter would fall on his head.

Overseas people have always been children who are loved by no one.

If he died here, he would die here, and no one would take care of him, and no one would help him.

The middle-aged man named Old Wang glared at the young man, "Qi Da, please keep your voice down, if you provoke the red-haired dog, we will die."

The young man named Qi Da shut his mouth in a hurry, and looked out the window cautiously.

After seeing no movement outside the window, he was relieved.

Everyone in the room was panicked, and almost everyone began to worry about their situation.

Uncle Liu took a puff of cigarette and exhaled a puff of thick smoke.

"Why didn't you care? When Emperor Wanli heard about this incident, he began to mobilize naval forces from all over the south to conquer the barbarians in Luzon and Batavia.

However, the well-dressed beasts in the court said that the overseas people are all people who have forgotten their ancestors and disrespected their ancestors.

Unfortunately, before the order was issued, Emperor Wanli died.At this time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were caught in the struggle for power and profit, so how could they care about the overseas people?Just left to fend for itself. "After Uncle Liu finished speaking, he didn't say a word.

This incident is the "Dalun Mountain Massacre". From the 31st year of Wanli to the first year of Kangxi, the Frangji carried out three massacres against Chinese in Luzon.

According to the records of "East and West Foreign Research": "On the third day of the first day, the Chinese were very hungry in Dalun Mountain and had no food. They risked their lives to attack the city. In the valley of death, there are dead bodies lying on each other, and 5000 people are estimated to be lost, and only [-] people survive."

Since Longqing, Daming maritime merchants began to go to sea frequently.

As the nearest foreign island to Ming Dynasty, Luzon naturally became the object of maritime trade.

The maritime merchants in the late Ming Dynasty were not only maritime merchants, but also merchants and bandits.

Among these sea merchants was a man named Zhang Ni.

He often used the lie of "Jiyi Mountain in Lusong, on which golden beans grow by themselves, and sending people to take them can get huge tens of thousands" to deceive the people of Ming Dynasty to go there, and then looted and killed them.

Somehow, this lie was heard by Emperor Wanli.

The poor and crazy Emperor Wanli didn't care whether it was true or not, so he sent Chengwang Shihe of Haicheng County and Baihu Yu Yicheng to Luzon to mine gold.

After they arrived in Luzon, they found out that Zhang Ni's words were pure nonsense, and they returned home immediately.

Frangji thought that Daming was going to attack them, so he provoked a massacre of Chinese businessmen.

Before that, the Frangji had bullied the Luzon Chinese once.

In the 21st year of Wanli, Dasmarinas, the governor of Luzon in Frangji, organized a fleet to attack the islands near Luzon, and forcibly recruited local Chinese to serve as oarsmen for the flagship.

The local overseas Chinese resisted fiercely, but the governor Das Marinas threatened with force, and finally recruited 250 Chinese, and followed [-] French colonists to board the flagship.

At dawn, the Chinese crew headed by Pan Hewu and others rebelled at night, and 66 of the 14 Fulangji people died, and only [-] escaped by chance.

Governor Dasmarinas was stabbed to death with a spear by Pan Hewu in anger.

After Pan and Wu and other Chinese took control of the flagship, they left Luzon and sailed straight to Daming.

Dasmarinas' son Louis took over as the governor of Luzon. After he succeeded, he always wanted to avenge his father.

Later, he made several tragedies against the Chinese.

Hongyi, who was far away in Java, was not to be outdone, and was bullied several times during the Wanli period.

The bullying by the barbarians began in the Age of Discovery.

Blood debt, not just from the Opium War.

Hongyi and Flangji are both of the same breed, and this time they just want to repeat the Dalun Mountain tragedy.

Everyone in the room remained silent for a long time before being broken by Qi Da:
"Then what do we do now? Now these red-haired dogs forbid us to come and go at will, let us all stay here well.

There are a large number of red-haired dog soldiers guarding us outside our living quarters. Can we just wait to die like this? "

"Brother Qi is right. Don't we just wait to die like this? Why don't we fight Hongyi and fight to the death."

"Yes, that's right, it's a death anyway, and even if we die, we can't make Hong Yi feel better."

All of a sudden, the young people in the room became aggressive.

It is better to fight back in anger than to sit still and wait for death.

In the hot land of China, there is never a shortage of people who resist.

Just like Pan and Wu who stabbed Dasmarinas to death back then, waves of resistance were set off.

Uncle Liu looked at the aggressive young man, slammed the table suddenly, frowned and said in a low voice, "Keep your voice down, if the red-haired dog hears it, we're really going to die."

Everyone shut up.

Uncle Liu looked around and sighed: "Fight? What do you use to fight? A kitchen knife or a shoulder pole? These red-haired dogs have guns. They can beat you to death from a long distance. Tell me what to fight?"

Besides, do you have ironware at home?These damn Hongyi have recently started confiscating iron objects. They don't even have iron, so how can they fight? "

When Uncle Liu spoke, the young people in the room were speechless, and all fell silent.

Seeing this, Old Wang also said: "Old Liu is right, it's not that I look down on it. We are just a bunch of mobs, and there are quite a few old and weak among them.

Even if the red-haired dog doesn't do it himself, we can't solve it just by letting the natives do it, let alone the red-haired dog. "

Qi Da's voice was a little louder, full of excitement: "Then we have to wait to die? Just die like this? I thought I was already unlucky enough when I was tricked here, but I didn't expect to lose my life today." or gone."

"I'll tell you to keep your voice down, shut up, if Hong Yi is provoked, do you still want to live?" Uncle Liu snarled again.

Qi Da looked at Uncle Liu's cannibalistic eyes, so he had to close his mouth.

"It doesn't mean that we will lose our lives, we must resist, but we must be careful in everything.

This matter is of great importance, we must plan carefully, otherwise, our lives will be gone before the matter is completed. "

Lao Wang looked at the many young people in the room and said earnestly.

"Uncle Wang's words are reasonable, I'll listen to Uncle Wang." Qi Da nodded and said to Old Wang.

"In that case, let's make a good plan."

From now until midnight, the people in the room had a heated discussion on this matter.

As the saying goes, among the three cobblers, the best is Zhuge Liang.

After discussions among these people, a plan of resistance was also formulated.

Uncle Liu's eyes kept scanning Lao Wang, Qi Da and everyone in the room.

Seeing that no one in the room questioned it, he whispered: "Our plan will be implemented in this way. Although it is impossible to be [-]% sure, there is [-]%."

"Don't say it's [-]%, [-]% has to do it. If you don't do it, you will die." Qi Da said.

"Okay, the plan is this plan, and we will follow this plan in three days. You can go now." Lao Wang slapped the table, looked at everyone in the room, and said.

Qi Da nodded, waved to Old Wang, thanked him, and then led a few young and strong men out.

After all, this house belongs to Uncle Liu.

After everyone in the room left, only Pharaoh and Uncle Liu were left in the room.

Old Wang stood up and said to Uncle Liu: "Old Liu, then I will leave first, and I will come to you when the scheduled time comes.

You have the greatest prestige here in Batavia. If anyone encounters something on weekdays, or is bullied by a red-haired dog or a native dog, only you dare to stand out, so I leave this matter to you. "

Lao Wang bowed to Uncle Liu as he said that, and said sincerely.

"The lives of these tens of thousands of people in the city will be entrusted to you."

Uncle Liu took the cigarette pot from his mouth and knocked it on the table a few times.

"In that case, then I will do my part." Uncle Liu said solemnly.

The burden on the shoulders is quite heavy, and the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people are at stake.

He felt that half of his body was numb and unconscious.

When he thinks of Daming who is already lonely, he feels depressed.

"Oh, Daming, have you forgotten your people?"
