Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 558

Song Qingshu wants to control Southeast Asia and create a stable retreat for Ming. The biggest obstacle is not the vicious and vicious colonists from the West such as the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, and the United Kingdom. They are like wolves. Although they are rampant for a while, they can never change the land and forest.

The largest and cruelest massacre in history was not the conquest of Genghis Khan, but what the Europeans did to the Americans during the great voyage discovery. The Mayan Empire left only remnants of the tropical rainforest. There are only ruins left in Zitec, and Indians. Before the establishment of the United States, there were 8000 to 20 million Indians in North America, but by the time of Song Qingshu, there were only a few million left, and the descendants who mixed with the colonists were excluded. , less than [-] pure-blood Indians.

However, there is a reason for such a cruel genocide. No matter what the morals are, if there are no bloody bones, it is estimated that there will be no prosperous American countries such as the United States, Canada, Brazil, etc. in the future.

Song Qingshu couldn't do such an absolute thing. The corpses of hundreds of millions of people and genocide are sensational when you think about it, but it is still possible to consume the strength of many countries in Southeast Asia. This is Hong Chengchou's poisonous plan, and it is also what he used when he put down the peasant army. The trick tends to be that one group of people beats another group of people, and he himself watched the excitement.

Why was the massacre of the natives in Manila so vigorous?In the final analysis, they still covet the wealth of the Ming people and hate them for robbing their own survival resources. If Ming Dynasty falls, more people will come to Southeast Asia, and this kind of estrangement and hatred will become more acute, especially if the Ming Empire loses its superficial With that layer of golden majesty, it's not certain how these bastards will turn their backs and fight. Before that, at least let them be frustrated and under control.

In the city of Denardi, the Ming army in black and black armor has already taken control of various places. Looking at the corpses dangling in the square, the nobles of Borneo, Denardi and other countries immediately made up their minds. Continuing to assemble the army and fight to the death with the Dutch, Song Qingshu once again returned to a leisurely state, slowly admiring the splendid and elegant Buddhist buildings under the royal city accompanied by the dark-faced Li Xiangjun.

"At this moment, Batavia will probably be killed into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood?"

Holding a mango, Song Qingshu muttered leisurely.

…………

Song Qingshu's estimate was really good.

In the century of humiliation that began at the end of the Qing Dynasty, people always attributed it to the backwardness of weapons. In fact, during the Opium War, even if the British army’s weapons were more advanced than the Qing army’s, they were not much more advanced. It was just equipped and not long after it was used. Because of the wear rate problem, it was replaced with a muzzle gun.

But in this way, in the first Opium War, the Qing and the British fought twelve times. The British army of more than 2 land and land fleets fought from Guangdong and Guangxi to Nanjing, defeated the 20 Qing army, and killed more than 2 Qing people. Man, what is this concept?The same British army of more than 71 people was attacked by the Zulus in South Africa. What kind of soldiers were they?Holding homemade shields and javelins, shirtless prehistoric slave society warriors still killed more than 300 British troops in that battle.

The defeat of the Qing army was not due to weapons, but tactics. In the battle of Dajiao Fort, the Qing army was not invincible. They stared at the British artillery fire and kept holding on to the fort. If there is no increase, tens of thousands of people just become cannon fodder for heroism, standing up to be killed by others.

Later, the massacre of Indians by the westward movement of the United States was similar. In order to deal with the United States, Britain and other colonial countries once assisted the Indians on a large scale. Some Indian tribes had better equipment than the US military. However, they were still defeated.

This principle also applies to the various indigenous tribes in Southeast Asia in this era, and the foreign countries. In fact, the Spaniards, Portuguese, Dutch, and British, the total population of these Western colonists in the East is only more than 20, and the total army is only a few However, the population of Southeast Asia in this era is at least several million, especially Indonesia, which is a populous country. The combined population of several large archipelagos is at least 150 million to 200 million, but the Netherlands, which has only tens of thousands of people, is full of people. teeth, because their war awareness is still at the primitive level of tribal warfare.

The head did not keep up, and it was useless to bring AK_47 to fight, which led to the tragedy of Mataram and the Srivijaya army.

It must be said that these two foreign countries really worked hard. One from the south and the other from the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra jointly attacked the Dutch headquarters Batavia and the Dutch fortress in Malacca. At least [-] troops were dispatched successively. It was a once-in-a-lifetime event. The Dutch main fleet and the company’s main force of mercenaries were all attracted to the interior of Borneo and Sulawesi by the Ming army going south. The Batavia colony was very empty, with only about a thousand guards defending it.

In particular, Song Qingshu also provided a batch of munitions, equipped with at least 2 flintlock guns and more than 60 Hongyi cannons from eliminated warships. Before the fleet arrived in the Makassar Strait to attract the main force of the Dutch, the supply team had bypassed Sulawesi, the equipment was shipped to Sumatra.

And along with the supply ship, an important person went, Hong Chengchou!

However, Hong Chengchou, who is regarded as one of the best commanders in the country, has become a bastard here.

In the outer city of Batavia, broken Sumatran-style branches are built into huts. The left one is messy like mushrooms, and the right one is arranged in a mess, just like in their own village. They all wear long robes and wrap headscarves. The Mataran army and the Sanfoqi coalition army sat listlessly around the fire, roasting the hearts of palm trees. On the city wall not far away, the corpses were scattered in disorder in the tropical climate, and some of them were exposed. Bones, but no one dared to collect the corpse.

At the beginning of the attack, everything went smoothly. Like Luzon in Spain, the biggest problem in the Netherlands is the lack of manpower. More than a dozen secondary towns near Batavia were caught off guard. These natives have no chivalry. All places were burned, killed, and looted.

The Matalan people and the Srivijaya army, who had tasted the sweetness, were really jealous. They killed Batavia in twelve days. However, here, they were hit and bloody. There are only five hundred, but behind the solid city defenses, it is easy to teach these South Islanders what war is, relying on matchlock guns and fortress guns, to the Sanfoqi soldiers who are holding flintlock guns and charging towards the city wall. There was a slaughter feast.

The shells pouring down on the city wall and the muskets aimed at them cut down the Matalan people who lacked protection and attacked blindly under the city wall. These South Islanders did not know how to disperse the impact at all, and they would only fight in their own villages. The long warriors rushed forward in groups under the chaotic shouts. On this day, they rushed to the city twelve times in a row. More than 2000 people were killed and injured. The slightly injured could escape back in embarrassment. However, the South Island native soldiers who were chilled did not dare to go to the rescue, and could only watch the corpse rot there.

Batavia is the Asian headquarters of the Dutch East India Company. Almost all the property it looted from Southeast Asia is stored here. It is similar to the Spanish royal city. It is also a settlement for Dutch expatriates. The richest people live in Here, looking at Batavia, these Austronesian people salivate as if seeing golden bread. Song Qingshu confronted each other in the Makassar Strait for a month, and the unwilling two tribes organized troops to cut down forests and make large wooden shields Continue to attack, but unfortunately, the wooden shield can't stop the bombardment of artillery fire, and each time it only adds another corpse under the city.

Once the Dutch even let a group of Sanfoqi soldiers row into the city from the southern port, and then surrounded them in an alley and slaughtered them all, and their bodies were hung from the city wall. The commanders and generals sent by the two countries were somewhat unable to suppress the generals and nobles under them.

…………

With a bang, the door of the only tent in the entire barracks was slammed open, and several black and short guys in luxurious silk robes ran in angrily. Roaring furiously with an old face.

"Governor of the Celestial Dynasty, my warriors have been stranded in the city for a month, and the food is almost gone. In order to help the Celestial Dynasty fight, my warriors have sacrificed more than 3000. When will the Celestial Army come?"

On a very hot day, Hong Chengchou was burning hot water in the tent, and the gurgling heat made the tent even more stuffy. Hong Chengchou was quite dark in China, but when he arrived here, he was steamed with sweat. A lot whiter, even more leisurely than Song Qingshu, fanning a fan while reading, Lord Governor Hong said casually.

"The Dutch are not sticks, otherwise you wouldn't be able to hit them. You vassals of the Celestial Dynasty won't be able to lift your heads up. General Song is fighting in the north. He will win for sure, but it will take time, so let's wait."

"However, more than 4000 of my warriors have been killed or injured, and the army is still plagued by epidemics. Our Matalan warriors are fighting for Da Ming. They are so brave, but Da Ming just ignores them. If we continue like this, we will go back Home!"

The second Canary prince next to him was not a vegetarian either, and he yelled angrily. With his dark, round, leathery face and two curled mustaches, he looked like a mangy dog ​​trying to bite someone.

Thousands of people died, and the hot day didn't even bother to collect the corpses. The corpses rotted and made flies and mosquitoes all over the sky. Stay away from them, and immediately tucked the screens of the tent. Before coming, Song Qingshu reminded him that miasma and disease are prone to occur in the south, and the source of miasma and disease is either flies, mosquitoes or raw water. If you want to save your life Get over it, don't eat raw aquatic food.

It wasn't until several Nandao guys got a little impatient that Hong Chengchou turned around casually.

"Everyone, before the attack, the governor had discussed with you. Batavia is a big city, so don't attack rashly. Wait for General Song to arrive and encircle the land and water. Whoever is patted on his chest does not need my army from the Celestial Dynasty, he will do it himself." Can this Batavia be brought down?"

The aristocrats of the South Island who said this were dumb for a moment, with embarrassing expressions on their faces. It was too easy to hit the Dutch towns in those days, and they robbed a lot of good things, which made a large group of guys greedy. When the Ming army arrived, the Batavia's wealth would definitely be robbed by the Ming army first. If they captured Batavia in advance, then all the wealth here would be theirs.

In particular, Matalan's selfishness is more serious. The Ming army attacked Manila, but occupied Northern Luzon. The Dutch Batavia and the entire western part of Java Island were previously separated from their Matalan land. Taking advantage of the Ming army's entanglement with the Dutch fleet, they shot down here in advance, and then wrote a letter to the Ming army to let them not come, and used the Ming army to help them regain the huge territory for no reason.

Who knows, this Batavia is really a fucking nail?

Seeing the faces of these guys turning green and then red, Hong Chengchou was afraid that he would really scare these bastards away. The negotiating capital was all on them. He closed the book and shook his feather fan. laughed.

"You guys don't worry, the human way is one side of water and soil and the other side is gods. Two days ago, the great wizard Mr. Glistan found the old man and said that the big black god gave him a dream and told him the way to expel these demons. Why don't you go find it? Looking for him?"

Glistan is a great witch from the Malay Peninsula. Later generations of Malaysia Airlines disappeared, and Malaysia sent wizards to help find it. It can be seen that witches play an important role in their culture. The eyes of the princes who heard this were all brightened, and they couldn't help but look at Hong Chengchou. They all hugged their fists.

"Thank you Master Hong for your guidance, I'll ask for advice when I'm here!"

These guys are absolutely uneducated, they don't knock on the door when they come, and they don't close the door when they leave. Seeing several tropical mosquitoes sneak in after their buttocks, Hong Chengchou hurriedly grabbed the door again. After closing the screen window, he immediately picked up the fly swatter.

But while he was beating, a particularly ferocious and vicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, let's all die together!"

…………

Not long after several great nobles visited the great wizard, the entire Sanfoqi and Mataran military camps became commotions. Teams of soldiers belonging to the great chieftain and feudal lord rushed into the camp, following the wizards one by one to search the huts. , as long as the witch doctor pointed, the man was immediately arrested and imprisoned in the fence that was originally used to hold captives.

Moreover, hundreds of craftsmen went to cut down the coconut trees overnight, and built something clangingly according to the wizard's yelling.

Two days later, more than a dozen towering coconut tree counterweight trebuchets towered over the city of Batavia. At the same time, soldiers from the two countries who were captured were also pushed over. The sallow, unsteady soldier was tied to the trebuchet amidst the terrified shouts, and was thrown out screaming amidst the cruel shouts of the second prince.

The distance was too far, and not many people attacked, but the Dutch mercenaries did not fire. Under their horrified gaze, the screaming Matalans and Srivijaya were thrown into the air by the catapults. , and immediately smashed heavily into their city.

Everyone fell like meatloaf, black blood sprayed all over the ground...
