The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 322 Great Victory in Naval Battle (seeking monthly ticket)

boom!Boom!

The grenade opens the way, the bayonet strikes, and then expands the results.

The Ming army's boarding battle routines are proficient!

Although it is still inevitable that there will be continuous casualties, their advancing speed is indeed very fast.

In this process, although the sailors of the Liberation Army performed very well.

But Zheng Jun's old sailors also showed their own demeanor, and their performance was quite eye-catching.

In the boarding battle, their excellent personal martial arts got a lot of room to display!

Finally, a Dutch Tier [-] sailing battleship was completely captured by the Ming army.

The tricolor flag of the Dutch was lowered and replaced by the twelve-pointed sun and moon flag of Ming Dynasty!

The twelve-pointed sun and moon flag fluttered in the wind, and the change of hands of a warship during the boarding battle boosted the morale of the Ming army, and they couldn't help but let out cheers!

Lei Meng originally hoped that his side might be able to turn the tide of the battle by relying on the boarding battle.

It never occurred to them that after the boarding battle, they lost even faster.

Seeing the warships being seized by the Ming army one by one, he really felt desperate!
Rhines on the side also spoke very pessimistically.

"Your Excellency, Commander, please order us to surrender with dignity!"

Raymond glanced at Rhines with complicated eyes, and then looked at the eager gazes cast by the Dutch soldiers around him.

He even suspected that if he dared to say no, his subordinates would send him to see God with dignity!
He nodded with difficulty and said.

"We have already been defeated, for the sake of the precious lives of the warriors, let us surrender with dignity!"

"There is no irresolvable hatred between us and the Ming people, isn't there?"

Raymond had a wry smile on his face.

But after his words fell, everyone around him spoke in agreement.

"Yes, Lord Raymond!"

"I think we and the Ming Dynasty are both civilized countries, they will definitely treat the prisoners well and give us a decent treatment!"

"..."

Rhines spoke even more.

"Your Excellency Raymond, I think you made a very correct choice."

The Dutch flagship Santa Maria hoisted the white flag!
They chose to surrender to Daming!

A large number of soldiers dropped their weapons and raised their hands above their heads in a sign of surrender.

The Dutch battleships and armed merchant ships lowered their sails and anchored one after another, closing the gun windows, and a series of actions were completed in one go.

Surrender very decisively!

The Ming army won this naval battle!

……

The sky was completely dark, and the waning moon hung high, but it was not bright.

The stars are shining, hanging high in the sky, like the beautiful eyes of a girl blinking,
After sunset, the sea was pitch black, with only dots of light, as if echoing the stars in the sky.

The source of these lights is the lights hanging from the masts of the fleet!

There are also some small bright spots moving around, that is, the Ming army sent small boats to search for people who fell into the water on the sea.

A large number of Dutch soldiers and sailors were imprisoned in crowded and narrow cabins on the lower deck after losing their weapons.

A Dutch soldier with a beard couldn't help complaining.

"Raymond is a bloody coward!"

"We were about to win, but he surrendered to the despicable Ming people!"

"I think he will go to hell after death. Even a merciful God will never forgive his sins!"

He was a sailor on an armed merchant ship. He only saw that the armed merchant ship had an advantage in naval battles, but he failed to notice how badly he was beaten in the battleship duel!

That's why he was dissatisfied with Raymond who ordered the surrender!

Another soldier named Karl retorted.

"Joseph, shut your stinky mouth that has eaten shit!"

"Commander Raymond's choice was not wrong. The array line duel failed, and the boarding battle failed. In the naval battle, we have completely fallen behind!"

"If it weren't for Commander Raymond's wise decision, I believe we would have been thrown into the sea by the Ming people to feed the fish!"

As a sailor on a battleship, unlike Joseph, he knew how badly his side had been beaten.

Another soldier named Luther spoke.

"The fleet is defeated, can the company's headquarters and property in Batavia still be kept?"

Carl spoke.

"Don't talk about Batavia, I think the company may not even be able to keep Malacca!"

Luther sighed with anguish on his face, and then spoke.

"It shouldn't be so..."

Carl shrugged.

"Who knows?"

……

On the other side, Zhu Hongyu finally saw Raymond, the commander of the Dutch in this battle, and his adjutant Rhines.

In the spacious cabin, whale oil lamps are lit, illuminating the cabin very brightly.

Zhu Hongyu was sitting in the front seat, wearing a thin silk shirt. The climate in Nanyang at the end of February was very hot, and even a slight movement would cause him to stinky sweat.

Zheng Chenggong was also by his side.

After Raymond and Rhines entered the cabin, Zhu Hongyu just spoke.

"Give me a seat!"

The guards on the side came forward and moved Xiudun for the two of them.

After the two sat down, Zhu Hongyu ordered someone to serve them tea.

Then, he spoke.

"The two of you can choose to surrender to my Great Ming Wang Shi, they are really outstanding people who know the current affairs!"

Lei Meng took a sip of the tea, and felt bitter at first, but then a fresh fragrance surged up.

The entrance is slightly astringent, but the aftertaste is fragrant, it is a good green tea!
Even Europeans who are not used to drinking green tea, Lei Meng can drink it for the first time. This is definitely a first-class tea.

After Lei Meng finished drinking the tea, Zhu Hongyu spoke.

"I'm going to release Commander Raymond, both of you!"

Lei Meng raised his head, with a look of astonishment on his face, and asked.

"My lord, may I ask why?"

Although he felt that after he surrendered, he should be able to get a more decent treatment, he did not expect Zhu Hongyu to be released to him.

This is really a surprise!
Zhu Hongyu smiled slightly, and then spoke.

"Just after returning to Batavia, please tell the governor of Luobei that if he is willing to surrender to Gu, Gu will give him a decent treatment!"

Zhu Hongyu is going to ask Lei Meng to persuade Luo Bei to surrender, although the possibility of success is unlikely.

But this doesn't stop Zhu Hongyu from giving it a try!
It would be best if Batavia could be taken down without bloodshed!
It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, anyway, releasing Lei Meng and the two will not cause any obstacles to the Ming army's attack on Batavia.

Raymond asked.

"What about the captured Dutch soldiers who surrendered? Will they be released too?"

Zhu Hongyu nodded and said.

"Of course!"

"But I have to wait until the peace talks after the war come to a conclusion, and I will release those prisoners of war!"

"But Commander Raymond can rest assured that they surrendered voluntarily. As long as they don't cause trouble, Gu promises not to kill them."

The Ming army is about to attack Batavia, and now they are releasing those captured Dutch soldiers, which is purely out of their minds.

Could it be that he thought Batavia was too easy to fight and wanted to make it harder for himself?

……

On the other side, with the end of the naval battle, the ships watching the battle outside the battlefield scattered around.

The final result of this battle was also quickly spread!
The Dutch fleet was defeated, and the news that Commander Raymond surrendered to the Ming army seemed to have wings, and quickly spread throughout Nanyang.

The battlefield is not too far from Batavia!
Two days after the naval battle was decided, Batavia received news of the defeat of its own fleet.
