Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 756 Trembling!Nanyang, the Kingdom of Heaven is back!

boom!
boom!boom!boom!
The sound of artillery fire sounded like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and the small countries in Nanyang once again saw the majestic and mighty Daming Fleet before.

And the size of the fleet this time is bigger than last time, and it is even more awe-inspiring.

Palembang was captured, and the fleet set sail for Batavia the day after the new army landed.

Batavia was the first stronghold of the Dutch in Southeast Asia, and it was built very solidly by them. Not to mention the natives of Java Island, even other small countries in Southeast Asia came here, and it is estimated that they can only spend their lives here.

But it is a pity that what they met here was not other small Nanyang countries, but their suzerain, the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains, the undisputed upper country in the Eastern world.

"A flanking enemy, the fleet changes!"

"Three rounds of solid bullets, the school shooting begins!"

The people of the Netherlands in Batavia armed themselves one after another, wearing the broken chain mail that they don't know when, or asking people to put a half-length breastplate on themselves, and some put on full-body plate armor , They were holding muskets and swords, standing together on the top of the city, nervously staring at the huge fleet that made them desperate on the sea, each holding their weapons tightly, for fear that their courage would slip away at this moment.

However, the fleet of the Ming army is still slowly moving forward, all kinds of warships are slowly taking their positions, flanking the enemy, and the artillery is pushed into the artillery positions. leaked out.

All kinds of Fuchuan battleships lined up to seal off the sea area, and the flags of Ming Dynasty roared and swayed in the sea wind, carrying a solemn and murderous look.

On the city wall of Batavia, an old oily man who had been a mercenary for many years wiped the sweat from his hands on his chain armor jacket, and then carefully looked at the Ming army warships on the water with a telescope. , muttering in his mouth: "one, two, three, four"

A wandering knight on the side was confused by the old mercenary: "What are you doing?"

The old mercenary pouted: "I'm counting the number of cannons on the opposite side."

Although the wandering knight felt that this matter was absurd, he also subconsciously counted it. This number made the wandering knight and the young people around him turn pale.

A hot-blooded young man who was fooled just now rushed up to the city with a matchlock gun, his face was as pale as paper at this moment, and his body trembled: "Oh my God, they have so many artillery, we can't hold it, we are going to die , it's over!"

Although the other young man could still maintain some sense, he was obviously frightened by his appearance: "No, no, we have God's blessing! Ming people don't believe in God, they will all go to hell, we won't!"

"Yes child, God is watching us, don't worry, the merciful Lord will protect his faithful and pious lamb, and those unbelievers and arrogant people will receive the Lord's punishment!" A priest stepped forward to comfort these young people child.

These young people didn't know whether they really believed in the priest's consolation or some psychological effect. They gradually calmed down and crossed themselves one by one.

It wasn't just them, the entire city wall, and even the Dutch people in the city were drawing the cross devoutly, as if they were the most faithful lambs.

At least at this moment, their belief and devotion to their lord have reached the highest moment.

Qian Longxi didn't know this. Looking at the Dutch people who were fully armed and defending the city as if they were going to fight him to the death, Qian Longxi decided to give them a chance.

"Send a ship to tell them that God has the virtue of good life, and this governor can't bear to kill. If they are willing to put down their weapons and leave the city to surrender, then they will usher in peace."

"Otherwise, if Master Wang makes a move, the sky will collapse and the earth will be shattered, and they will all be reduced to dust under the barrage of artillery fire."

With Qian Longxi's order, a small boat arrived at the port of Batavia slowly.

The people of the Netherlands on the top of the city looked nervously at the Ming man below the city. Are they here to negotiate?

"People on the top of the city, listen! I, Ming Dynasty, sent [-] troops and [-] warships this time, with the goal of destroying Nanyang! Now that you are willing to lay down your weapons and surrender, then you can usher in peace and survive, but if If you resist in the corner, then you will be the next Balimpan! With all the artillery fired by Wang Shi, Batavia will be reduced to scorched earth!"

Listening to the shouting of the Ming people downstairs, many Dutch people who understand Chinese are commotioned.

10 people? !

A thousand ships? !

This is too scary!

They were discussing one after another, and the little courage they had just mustered up was scared back a lot when they were said so.

Those defenders who didn't know what the Ming people said began to ask around, and soon, the defenders of the entire Netherlands knew that the powerful Ming Dynasty in the east had sent a thousand warships and 10 people. Come and attack them, the city of Palembang has been destroyed, and if they don't surrender, that's what will happen to them!
The defenders on the top of the city knew about it, and it took only a moment for the whole of Batavia to know about it.

Thousands of warships and [-] soldiers, even if half of them are fake, it is still [-] warships and [-] soldiers, which is not something the Netherlands can resist.

Not to mention Batavia, even Batavia, Palembang, the Spice Islands and other places plus Ceylon in the Indian Ocean can't add up to [-] soldiers.

In fact, let alone them, it is not easy for the Netherlands to recruit [-] professional soldiers even in Taixi.

But for Daming, a dynasty with a huge size and population, 5 people are really not many.

The people of the Netherlands were afraid, they panicked, and they prayed more devoutly, hoping to escape this disaster.

And the governor of Batavia is also very entangled at the moment. The Ming people gave them a decent chance to surrender. Surrendering now and surrendering after being beaten are not the same thing.

But even though the city of Batavia was already in panic, those councilors and gentlemen were still arguing endlessly.

Of course they know that surrender is safe now, but they still have a glimmer of hope and a glimmer of fantasy.

What if?
What if they can keep it?

Does this mean that there is no need to surrender, and will their wealth be preserved?

If they surrender now, can their wealth be preserved?

Even at this time, these gentlemen are still thinking about their own wealth. They are afraid that their wealth will not be preserved, and they are afraid that they will have nothing.

And they argued endlessly, some people made plans for them, and soon there were a few guys who didn't know whether it was alcohol or blood, maybe to show their courage, maybe to show their bravery, they faced the city. He started spitting, indicating that Mingren would call if he had the guts.

"Do you think we can conquer our city? We can guard this city wall until we grow old!"

"Go back! Under the watchful eye of the merciful Lord, we will defeat you!"

"Those who don't believe in God, you are doomed not to be redeemed, you are doomed to failure!"

The surrounding Dutch defenders looked at these guys jumping up and down in horror and bewilderment, all showing unbelievable expressions. Are they crazy? !
As the rest of the Dutch defenders looked on desperately, the Ming boats departed, taking with them any hope of a peaceful surrender.

"My lord, the messenger is back."

"What do the Dutch say?"

"The Dutch don't surrender, they say God will bless them and we will lose."

Qian Longxi couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Hahahahaha!"

"God bless them? How many warships and artillery does God have, and how many towns does God have soldiers and horses?"

"Since they don't want the peace I've given them, let's fight. It's a pity that Batavia will become shabby like Palembang."

"Order the whole army, let's go to war!"

Following Qian Longxi's order, command flags were waved one after another, and at the same time the communication boats began to cruise among the ships: "The governor has an order, let's go to war!"

"The governor has an order, let's go to war!"

"The governor has an order, let's go to war!"

The sound of the horn is sounded, followed by the beating of the war drum. The horn and the war drum represent the coming of the battle.

After the three warships fired several solid shells in sequence, the firepower from the Ming Fleet broke out again!

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
There were deafening roars one after another. Standing on the top of the city of Batavia and looking at the sea, you will find that there are a series of fires and flashing smoke above the sea at this time. The series of dense fires are so dazzling. Can't keep my eyes open.

And after the roar of the naval guns, the explosive shells had already drawn hot arcs in the air, falling towards Batavia.

Black dots appeared on the sky visible to the naked eye, and then the black dots gradually enlarged, leaving white traces in the sky. These black dots rolled and fell down, becoming red and hot due to the friction of the air.

As a shell fell on the top of the city, there was an explosion in an instant!
The surging flames engulfed everything around, and the shock wave generated by the explosion knocked out several defenders of the Netherlands who had no time to escape, and the rubble thrown by the explosion at the top of the city was now more dangerous than shells and guns.

These wall debris that cracked and splashed under the explosion of the flower bomb can easily make a transparent hole through the human head, and if it rubs against the neck, chest, etc., it can even take a life directly.

A few unlucky defenders had their bones broken by the splashing gravel in such an explosion, and they all collapsed on the ground, sweating profusely and wailing miserably.

And such scenes are constantly appearing on the city wall.

The dense shells fell, and the Daming Navy used countless shells to tell the Dutch what the strength of a big country is.

You have ten guns, we can pull out a hundred, a thousand, the shells you are reluctant to use, we can fire at will, directly as suppressive firepower and fire them for several rounds and even hit them from the beginning to the end.

Da Ming has such strength, and Da Ming has such confidence.

Whether it is artillery or warships, they are things that only big countries can play, and only big countries have enough resources to build a powerful and comprehensive fleet.

For the Batavian Netherlands at this time, it really was hell.

explosion!

explosion!

There are explosions everywhere!

Outside the city is the sound of thunderous cannons that never stops. When you look up, you can see shells falling all over the sky. These shells landed on the top of the city and hit the city. The dense artillery fire is unimaginable for the Dutch. of.

They really didn't know why Daming had such terrifying artillery fire, and how many ships did they have? !

Under the cover of dense firepower, the Dutchmen on the top of the city were beaten so hard that they couldn't lift their heads. They didn't need any knights to charge or fight against each other. ability to resist.

Those bewitched young people ran down the city wall one by one, crying for their father and mother. They were afraid, they panicked, and they finally understood that war was not as majestic, romantic, or heroic as they had imagined, at least Not for them.

The mournful wailing of the surrounding people being swallowed by the artillery fire, the miserable appearance of their legs and feet being blown off, the bloody corpse lying on the ground like a piece of roasted meat, and the dried and undried blood all over the ground, Under the roasting of gunpowder smoke and gunfire, the smell of blood, viscera, and all kinds of strange smells made them young people who were full of dreams and hopes to climb the city wall and prepare to guard Batavia to become heroes and knights. One by one couldn't help vomiting and limp.

And vomited, they also became sober, and the most important thing right now is to escape!
And so the defenders of Batavia began to flee, began to break up.

As for those veterans or mercenaries, they had already seen that the situation was not right and began to retreat.

But even so, the artillery fire of the Ming army still did not stop.

One round, two rounds, three rounds!
The Daming navy had already destroyed the Batavian defenders in just a few rounds of artillery fire, but this was just the beginning. The intensive artillery fire would not stop just because the enemy fled, because what Ming wanted was Badavia who had lost the ability to resist. ya.

The governor of Batavia stood on the open-air balcony of his gorgeous mansion, staring blankly at the bombardment coming from the sky, destroying Batavia's houses and buildings, the lawn and forest garden of his mansion were also under such artillery fire It was scorched and burned, and the fountain was smashed directly.

The maids and servants in the mansion avoided in horror. They cried and prayed for God's protection, and prayed for someone to save them. The cannon fire that covered the sky and the shells that covered the sky also completely paralyzed Governor Batavia. It came down: "Hurry up, send someone to fly the white flag, we surrender, we surrender!"

A small group of Batavian defenders hurriedly rushed to the city head under artillery fire, waving the white flag.

"Governor, they surrendered." The officer came to report the situation to Qian Longxi.

Qian Longxi was not surprised by this, just kidding, in Nanyang, in the East, is there an existence that can compete with Daming?

My Daming, that is invincible in the world!

"Fire two more rounds of artillery fire, and then let the army land." Qian Longxi smacked his lips.

The land division of the Ming Dynasty was dispatched. Under the cover of the naval artillery fire, the land division began to land. The same scene as Palingpan was staged again. The soldiers of the Ming army entered the city and began to control various important places, cleaning up the hooligans who took the opportunity to burn, kill and loot. , Then collect the weapons and distinguish the crowd.

When night came, the flags in Batavia City had been replaced by Daming's Mountain, River, Sun and Moon flags.

At this time, the entire Batavia city became extremely dilapidated, and there were traces of artillery attacks everywhere. Qian Longxi strolled in the Batavia city, looking left and right: "This Batavia city is also good. , The former Palingpan city is not to say that they are not beautiful, but it is almost interesting, after the war, it happened to be rebuilt."

"These architectural styles must be replaced by my Daming!"

Palembang was brought down, and so was Batavia.

However, Ming's naval fleet is still going on. The Spice Islands, Borneo, and the Ming fleet are destroying the stronghold cities of the Dutch in Southeast Asia, and at the same time sending troops to control them.

The whole of Nanyang is trembling under the powerful force of Ming Dynasty. What kind of pirates and pirates are obediently going back to be farmers and fishermen.

Whoever dares to play tricks in Nanyang at this time is purely short-sighted, and the Daming Navy will never mind giving you a cannonball to send you to the bottom of the sea to meet the Dragon King of Nanyang.

In the past, it was not clear whether there was a Dragon King in Nanyang, but since Daming came, according to the rules of Da Ming, Nanyang had to have a Dragon King, and it had to be the Dragon King named by Daming.

The fleet of the Ming army flaunted its power in Nanyang, announcing that the Ming Dynasty had come to Nanyang with artillery fire. The kings and chiefs of these small countries in Nanyang all knew that the Ming court sent a high-ranking official to Nanyang this time to punish the Dutch. When they came together, they hurriedly prepared the boat and went to ask Qian Longxi to see him.

The total time that the Daming navy operated in Nanyang was only [-] days, but in these [-] days, Da Ming had already completely cleared up all the Dutch strongholds in Nanyang and destroyed the military power of the Dutch. At the same time, Daming also used this to root his strength in Nanyang.

I have to say that the Dutch people chose these places really well. They are worthy of being a century-old sea coachman. The ports and city strongholds they choose have their own opinions.

Qian Longxi chose to accept all of this unceremoniously.

As for how to deal with these Dutch people, it is generally impossible to kill them. After all, they have already surrendered, but these Dutch people in Nanyang add up to a lot, and there are also many old and weak women and children, which makes Qian Longxi even more difficult to deal with. Well, we can't let these old and weak women and children also go to work as hard labor, can we?

Daming can talk about etiquette and morality, but Qian Longxi is still a scholar, so he can't do this kind of thing.

Fortunately, Governor Batavia gave Qian Longxi a good choice.

"You mean, your family can pay to buy you back?" Qian Longxi was sitting in the governor's mansion in Batavia at the moment, looking at the gentlemen and nobles of the Netherlands.

The governor of Batavia nodded repeatedly, and the Dutchman with beautiful hair and beard said: "Yes, we are willing to pay for our freedom. We are all nobles and have the right to redeem ourselves."

Qian Longxi nodded thoughtfully, paying for the redemption was also an option.

"You have paid to redeem yourself, what about the others? You also want to buy the others back together, right?" Qian Longxi asked again.

The governor of Batavia is embarrassed: "Uh"

Looking at the expressions of these Dutch nobles, Qian Longxi knew that they only thought about themselves at all. If everyone else bought them, they would not be able to afford the money.

But who is Qian Longxi? He is a scholar of Ming Dynasty, and he is the most considerate.

So Qian Longxi kindly reminded: "You don't have money, but your Congress has money. They won't give up so many of you, right?"
