Chapter 1024 Resist or surrender?

The news that Zheng Zhilong succeeded in the first regular battle and beheaded the enemy's No. 2 figure reached Zhu Zilong.

You know, even Zhu Zilong was shocked.

I thought to myself, what did you do? Fighting is like winning a prize?

He shot a few random shots before firing, and then he killed the No. 2 character and exploded in front of him.

This tm, like the red-clothed cannon recorded in history, was suspected to have seriously injured the wild boar skin, which is similar to the effect!

True or fake?

Until the news returned by several commissars was unified. Moreover, a large number of Dutch heads and dozens of prisoners were brought back, and after receiving unanimous confessions from the mouths of these people.

Zhu Zilong believed it!

Well, I just made great contributions, even if it was unintentional, I would like to reward you with great rewards.

Therefore, Zhu Zilong was promoted to the past, and Zheng Zhilong was promoted to the position of deputy general and was transferred from deputy general to acting general. All prisoners of war and enemy heads were rewarded at double the wartime standards, and all weapons and ammunition expenses were reimbursed by the state.

All members of the military should be promoted.

After all these rewards are put down, turn around and look at your subordinates in the army.

Zhu Zilong unexpectedly discovered that all the generals and officials in the Zhu family army were jealous. Some pirate army could make such a great contribution. They asked themselves that they were all elite soldiers, but here they were also guarding the turtle tactics of besieging the city to attack reinforcements, so where could they bear it?

For a time, the generals in the Zhu family's army asked Zhu Zilong for battle.

Zhu Zilong could only smile bitterly and thought to himself. I can't beat Batavia, it's really rare that there is a decent city here.

I just thought that I would accept it here in full just like the People's Liberation Army peacefully liberated Nanjing.

You said that tens of thousands of cannons were released together and it was a good idea for a while, but after the war, who will make the economic calculation?

There are less than 10,000 Dutch people in Batavia, and they count women, children, and young and old together. The local monkey mercenaries may have some combat effectiveness, but more importantly, the Dutch people are also worried about them.

So, in fact, Batavia seems to be much larger than Taiwan, but in terms of combat effectiveness, it is actually exactly the same as the one on the Hotzalan.

However, after a bitter smile, Zhu Zilong also felt a sense of emotion.

I thought again, maybe Taiwan’s war is profitable, and I can also scare them.

Maybe, you can surrender early without having to hold on for a few months to let them lose food?

So, Zhu Zilong finally ordered a large army and made a strong attack, and made a move to Batavia from the outer high seas.

At this time, Batavia was actually filled with a feeling of despair from many days ago.

First, the fleet that believed that it represented national strength was defeated, which was almost equivalent to annihilation of the entire army.

Immediately afterwards, the revenge of the Ming Empire came so rapidly.

Nearby, any Dutch ship that dares to go out to sea will be sunk on the spot as long as it does not accept unconditional surrender. There is no politeness at all!

There are now seventeen or eighteen merchant warships in Batavia. So many warships have lost before. Now, there is a group of women, children, young and old, and they can stand guard and wait for support for a few days.

If you fight, who dares to come out to fight?

It can only be to strengthen the fortress and build fortifications. Prepare ammunition and food, persist in it for a long time, and let the Ming people retreat when they see the difficulties.

However, today, looking at the situation of the Ming Navy, it seems to be an ultimatum.

On the other hand, Jiang Hai, one of the commanders of the Zhu family naval forces, believed that he should have done this long ago.

In this era, naval guns against turrets are an irrational behavior.

But he also scored the target and the occasion. Today's strength comparison is so good. I dare not say anything else. Jiang Hai promised from his heart that the excellent warships under his fart and the range of the fourth-generation rifled gun were enough to allow the warships he commanded to use the naval guns to slam the Dutch fortresses that were almost indestructible.

I believe that even if you have to push hard, it will be a direct crush.

From a distance, Zhu Zilong put down his telescope on the main ship and ordered: "According to the plan, try to open a threatening fire!"

Boom, boom, boom!

The vanguard of the Zhu family army, lined up in rows, and the artillery on the warships, made a roar that was terrifying.

The smoke of gunpowder rolled on the sea for a moment, and the sound of cannons rumbled, just like a typhoon coming!

The whistling shells made the Dutch defenders feel desperate. The 12 and 16-pound cannons on the city were not enough to reach them. They were more than five miles apart, but what about them?

When the falling projectile hit the city wall hard, I knew that this was not to scare people.

The shells fell like raindrops. I would like to make a yarn and run to the inner city to avoid the edge!

The next moment, the warships on the Zhu family army lined up in a line, and the artillery fire on the side was moving between the left and right of the warships, constantly tilting the firepower towards the Dutch city far away on the opposite side. It was not good to fight!

Just bombarded me with one day and one night (the prodigal son who is not short of money is different.)

The shells finally stopped, and then Zhu Zilong thought to himself, it’s almost done, let me go over and see if the Dutch were scared to pee?

So the messenger passed by.

After thinking about it, Zhu Zilong asked a Japanese subordinate to be an envoy. (In this year, I don’t know how many enemies are. If the envoy is really killed, the Ming Dynasty is much higher, so let the Japanese go.)

Dongfang Mu, who received the order, was so excited that he shook all over. He knelt down to Zhu Zilong a few times, and then took a boat to pass.

When he arrived at the Dutch city of Batavia, he went ashore arrogantly, raised his chin and looked at the coming governor.

In stiff Chinese, he shouted: "The governor of the five provinces of the Ming Empire, the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, and the Duke of the Four Seas notified as follows: The Dutch Kingdom repeatedly violated the Ming Dynasty's seas and was seriously guilty. Now the Dutch fleet has been annihilated, and our Ming Empire's navy gathered around Batavia to claim justice. The order of the Duke of the Kingdom is to be limited to your troops to make a reply within three days.

Either surrender unconditionally or wait for the city to be destroyed and the whole city will massacre? You have figured it out, choose one of two!"

After speaking, Dongfangmu strictly implemented Zhu Zilong's orders.

I left the letter of nationality and left without hesitation when I turned back.

The Dutch governor trembled and picked up the documents from his feet. After seeing them clearly, his expression seemed to be constipated.

Other people's confidants also think of me, and I think of you.

Resist or surrender?

If you resist, rely on the current amount of troops? Just kidding!

Moreover, once the resistance failed, people said that it was not that they had not survived in advance. They were going to massacre the city at that time!

Think about it, hundreds of years ago, Genghis Khan killed all over Europe. He also massacred the city all the way, and all the Dutch people kept trembling.

What do you think? This Duke of the Four Seas is still much more benevolent and righteous. If he had not yet evolved into a completely civilized Mongol, he would probably have massacred the city without saying a word?
