I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 505 Batavia is gone too

The combat effectiveness of the Dutch Army can really only be described as hip-drawing.

Historically, in another ten years, an uprising will break out among the Han people here. Huang Ban, one of the leaders of the Han rebels... yes, the current Huang Ban will lead a Han rebel army and successfully defeat thousands of people. The Dutch Army directly attacked the castle and captured the Dutch Army commander alive.

This was under the premise that the weapons of the Han rebels were extremely crude and their military strength did not have much advantage.

Nowadays, the Han rebels have not only received armor provided by the Ming army, but have also been trained by the Ming army for more than half a month. Not to mention complete prohibitions, they also have a basic formation, and their combat power has increased directly.

When Huang Ban led his rebels into battle with the Dutch Army, the Dutch Army, which had not fought for many years, was instantly stunned.

"Damn, these Chinese are not afraid of death at all."

"They must be bewitched by the power of the devil."

"Oh God! We have to retreat, we can't fight the Chinese!"

"..."

These Dutch army troops had the best equipment in the whole city of Pakistan, and even installed a lot of muskets. As a result, facing the fierce Han rebels who were not afraid of death, and the Matalan indigenous soldiers who were also driven like mad dogs, they could almost It's said to collapse at the first touch.

The muskets failed to fire a single shot and collapsed directly. On the contrary, the mixed-race civilians, who were regarded as bastard commodities by the high-level Dutch, were quite brave. They shouted and fought with the Han rebels and the Matalan natives.

It's a pity that their equipment is really poor. Not only are they all equipped with cold weapons, many of them don't even have armor.

With so many defenders on the city wall, the armor must have been used by the Dutch army men first, then by the civilian defenders, and finally by the slaves and mixed-race bastards who were left.

"Brothers, kill all the red-haired ghosts, avenge your wives and children, and take back our property!"

"Revenge! Kill all the red-haired ghosts!"

"Kill!"

Huang Ban just raised his arms and raised the morale of the Han rebels even higher. The mixed-race garrison who resisted tenaciously only persisted for a little while and were defeated.

Can't stop it, can't stop it at all.

Even if there is religious belief, it is useless. People are afraid of death, and they are not fanatics. There are no real fanatics in the colonies.

On the walls of Ba City, the Dutch were defeated like a mountain. The army troops fled in panic to the castle. The rest of the civilians and slave defenders also either took weapons or simply fled.

They were afraid that the Han soldiers would cause a massacre after they captured Bacheng, so they didn't even dare to defend the city. They just wanted to take weapons and go back to defend their families.

The heavy armored infantry sent by Tang Tongjiang barely caught up. After the Ming army's heavy armored infantry ascended the city, more and more Ming army soldiers followed behind. The situation in Bacheng was now determined.

On the city wall, the Han rebels, the Matalan natives, and the Ming army infantry were divided into several groups, and they swept the city wall separately. Anyone who dared to resist or was unwilling to surrender would be killed without mercy.

Of course, this was just talk in name. Anyway, the Han rebels and the natives of Madalan did not comply at all, and all those who could not escape in time were hacked to death.

Tang Tongjiang did not give any order to stop them. These Han rebels had all been robbed of their property, wives and daughters by the Dutch. They were holding a hatred in their hearts and needed to vent it. However, those Madalan natives had killed one-third of their lives in vain, so they had to be given to others. Some benefits.

Anyway, those who were massacred were either Dutch or civilians of other ethnic groups, and there were no Han people. What’s remarkable is that some mixed-race Chinese people have been severely brainwashed by the Dutch colonial government and religion, and they don’t consider themselves Chinese in their bones.

Well, spiritual Dutch. What is the use of such a person?
  The battle lasted for about half an hour, and the city wall of Bacheng was completely taken down. The Ming army filed in through the city gate, and the entire city was plunged into chaos.

Everywhere in the city was filled with burning, killing and looting, and it was not done by the Matalan natives and Han rebels, but by the civilians and slaves who escaped from the city wall.

Many of these people were carrying weapons, especially the slaves. Seeing that Bacheng was defeated like a mountain, all the former masters fell into chaos and everyone was running away. Fortunately, a slave riot was launched directly.

Slave riots in various parts of the city were carried out at the same time as the Ming army swept away the remaining enemies on the city wall.

Then it quickly developed into burning, killing and looting, completely forgetting that they were resisting slave rule, and only knew about robbing and killing. Many slaves even committed adultery when they saw the female family members of their masters, no matter how old they were.

Most of the slaves in Bacheng are Balinese slaves, who can be considered black (probably not the same species, just very similar), and a few are Indian slaves, who can be considered as having awakened their bloodline.

Tang Tongjiang saw that the city was falling into a slave riot. This was not going to work. He immediately called the messengers: "Send the order and ask the soldiers to suppress the slave riot in the city immediately. He also sent a message to Huang and Chen, the two rebel commanders, asking them to take the indigenous people with them. We, along with the slaves who suppressed these riots. The future of Bacheng is our Ming Dynasty's land, and we cannot let these nigger slaves destroy it."

Huang Ban received the order and did not refuse: "Brothers, follow me immediately to suppress those slaves."

Chen Haifu was completely reduced to the licking dog of the Ming Dynasty: "For the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, you all come with me to kill."

After all, Chen Haifu was also from the Chen family in Java, and he had more to think about. The Ming army had already defeated Ba Cheng, and even Old Port and Malacca had been defeated by the Ming fleet.

Not surprisingly, the Ming Dynasty will definitely take over and rule this place in the future. However, the court has insufficient foundation in Nanyang. If it wants to rule Nanyang, it will naturally have to rely on the local Han influence.

In this way, Chen Haifu, as the representative of the Chen family in Java, naturally had to perform well and try to win a good impression with the Ming general. In this case, under the rule of the new dynasty, the Chen family would not do too badly.

Tang Tongjiang could clearly see Chen Haifu's thoughts from the beginning to the end. It was not that he was thoughtful, but that the other party was too obvious and attentive.

However, Tang Tongjiang didn't care, and he was quite optimistic about Chen Haifu. Because if the imperial court wants to restore the rule of Old Port, it will indeed have to rely on the local Han influence, and may even tolerate the existence of local wealthy families.

Over at Old Port, Tang Tongjiang made no arrangements. He only mentioned Shi Zongming in the victory memorial, and that the other party was a descendant of Shi Jinqing, the first Secretary of Propaganda and Comfort in Old Port. The specific arrangements depended on what the court and His Majesty thought.

On the Bacheng side, Tang Tongjiang planned to recommend Chen Haifu. Not only was this guy good at getting things done, but the Chen family behind him did have some influence among the Han landowners in Java.

As for Tang Tongjiang himself, as a military general, it is definitely impossible to serve as an overseas governor. This is a custom made by the imperial court and is also the minimum limit.

Otherwise, let a military lieutenant general serve as governor, and the military and political power will be grasped. Moreover, it is still isolated overseas, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so the loyalty of that place basically can only rely on God's blessing.

The slave riots in the city of Bacheng began to rise and fall. Under the joint suppression of the Ming army and the Han rebels, the slave riots in Bacheng lasted for less than an hour and were quickly put out.

Corpses can be seen everywhere on the streets of the city. Nearly one-third of the rioting slaves were slaughtered, and mixed with the corpses of many civilians in Bacheng, including men and women. Most of the women were disheveled.

The most outrageous thing is that there are actually hundreds of corpses of Madalan native soldiers among them.

These Javanese natives are outrageous. They were obviously brought by the Ming army to suppress the riots, but they were able to join in midway. Huang Ban and Chen Haifu took their troops and killed a group of people in the street before they could curb the ferocity and greed of these natives.

After the slave rebellion was put down, the Ming army immediately began to direct the Han rebels and the Matalan natives to clean up the battlefield and burn the bones.

Here on Java Island, it is either the rainy season or summer. If so many corpses accumulate and are not dealt with in time, it is easy for plague and large-scale malaria to break out.

Even if the Ming army had quinine and Luzon fruits in hand, and plantations in Java began to plant cinchona trees, they could not completely ignore them.

　There is really no suspense, how can we lose if the flying dragon rides on the face?
