Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 1070 Netherlands: There are always people who want to harm me

The Dutch soldiers fled into the city with their heads in their arms, and fled into the city with their feet in the wind. They piled up a lot of debris on the streets to build barricades, preparing for street fighting.This is obvious. The Heluo New Army is well-equipped, with powerful artillery, extremely fast-firing pistols and muskets, and extremely strong hand-to-hand combat capabilities. Isn't it just asking for death to fight these lunatics on the city wall?Head-to-head confrontation is definitely not enough, it is better to hide in the city and shoot black sticks coldly!

The Ming army did not pursue, because they saw several warships of their own sailing into the port.The arrival of the battleship means the arrival of helpers, and it would be great to have helpers. There is no need to continue to fight the Dutch with such a small number of people.They sent two pilots to take a small boat and lead the warship into the harbor. Before the warship could stop, Jiang Yan jumped on the trestle and rushed to the dock. She shouted to the Ming army soldiers: "Are you the crew of the Warsong and Bugle? Where is the marshal?" Where is the marshal?”

Yang Menglong greeted him with a smile, and called: "Is it Jiang Yan? Our female captain is really getting more and more beautiful!"

Jiang Yanqiao blushed, and said seriously: "Marshal, it's great that you're fine! Of course, it would be even better if you can divide the occasion before you praise someone's appearance!"

Yang Menglong shouted: "Does it depend on the occasion to praise whether a girl is beautiful? Beautiful is beautiful, and not beautiful is not beautiful. How can there be so much attention!" He shouted to the few soldiers around him: "Everyone said, our Jiang Yanpiao is not beautiful. pretty?"

The soldiers shouted in unison: "Beautiful!"

Jiang Yan blushed into a big persimmon, stomped her feet fiercely, and glared at the guys who were afraid of chaos in the world, and those guys also looked at her with a smile, not afraid of her at all.In desperation, she could only change the subject: "Marshal, why are you here? And the Warsong Horn, why are you in the port? Could it be that the storm brought you here?"

Yang Menglong got angry when he mentioned this: "Bird feathers! The storm blew the war horn to a shoal, where we ran aground and were forced to abandon the ship and land. Then a conflict broke out with the local natives and beat them up severely. Suddenly...the natives were beaten and unconvinced, so they asked the Dutch to help them support them. Those stupid Dutch were moved when they saw the War Hymn and used three sailboats to tow it to Colombo! This belongs to me. The flagship, of course I couldn’t let anyone take it away, so I led people to chase me and asked the Dutch for the warship. The Dutch refused to give it, so they started fighting..."

—————Yang Menglong led the crew of the War Song Bugle to abandon the ship and land, and set up camp by the sea to wait for rescue. As a result, conflicts broke out with the natives who came to catch the flower girl after hearing the wind. After a fierce battle, he sent the gang together The native who didn't know how to write the word "death" was beaten so badly that he captured the little prince of the native king and hung him up to beat him.

When his son was taken away, Tu Wang felt very humiliated, so he brought the elite soldiers of the entire tribe to trouble Yang Menglong, and wanted to let these outsiders who floated from the sea know that the trumpet is copper pot or iron.However, his performance was not much better than that of his son. When Yang Menglong beat him violently, the elite soldiers and generals he put together were beaten into a mess and suffered heavy casualties. The white beauties bought from India have all become Yang Menglong's trophies.Therefore, it is also a skilled job to stand up for your son. If you are not careful, you will not get back your face, and you will have to pay back your money.

The beaten earth king couldn't swallow his breath, so he sent someone with a considerable amount of property to find the Dutchman to help him out. In name, he was the younger brother of the Dutchman, but now he was being bullied, and the Dutchman had to stand up for him. .And the Dutchman was really kind enough, accepted the property he sent, and immediately sent four warships to find trouble with Yang Menglong... It can only be said that Yang Menglong had an affair with the Dutchman, and he dealt with the Dutchman hard enough in Taiwan. Now the Dutchman is bullying him in turn.However, after the Dutch discovered the stranded Warsong Horn, they immediately forgot about venting their anger for the younger brother. Damn, such a large warship is rare even in the Netherlands, right?And those large-caliber naval guns on warships are even more priceless!Unhappily, they tossed the task of helping the little brother aside as used toilet paper, and towed the Warsong Princess back to Colombo in a hurry.

This is a big disaster. The Warsong Horn is the flagship of the Daming Navy. Even if it is severely damaged, it will not damage its status. The Dutch took advantage of the danger and dragged the War Song Horn back, which is equivalent to slapping the entire Daming Navy in the face. How could Yang Menglong let them go!Immediately, this bastard who kicked even a stone that did not block the road immediately led all the horses and killed them towards the city of Colombo. On the way, he fought eight games with the Dutch's servant army, winning eight games in a row, and rushed all the way to the city of Colombo. Under the city of Colombo, chopping melons and vegetables is not so easy.The Dutch didn't take his threats seriously at the beginning, and sent 800 people to fight him outside Colombo, and they were completely wiped out by him. Only then did they know how powerful this bastard was, and they were extremely panicked Get up, mobilize all available manpower, close the city gate and defend!

Thus, an offensive and defensive battle with a force ratio of ten to one kicked off, with 5000 people defending and 400 people attacking, and those 400 people broke through the city wall in one go... Such a magical development is really speechless!
After figuring out the ins and outs, Jiang Yan raised her eyebrows and called out with a vicious look on her face: "Marshal, these Xiyi gangs have never changed their minds. They haven't paid the indemnity for occupying Taiwan by the Qing Dynasty. This is a great insult to our navy, we should settle this account with them!"

Catherine fanned the wind to light up the will-o'-the-wisp: "Yes, we can't just let it go! In Europe, this kind of behavior that adds insult to injury is a great insult to a country and an army, and it will lead to resorting to war!" The Netherlands, as an emerging country A maritime power, founded on navigation and commerce, posed a serious threat to Venice's status and commercial interests in the Mediterranean. It even loaned Venice a huge sum of money and failed to repay it, colluding with Britain and France to send troops to attack Venice and force Venice to write off its debts. Bad behavior, the Venetians hated them, but they couldn't beat the Dutch, so they could only endure it.Now that the Netherlands has provoked a terrible and powerful enemy by committing a massacre, Catherine is naturally happy to see the Ming army become furious and destroy all the Dutch colonies in Asia. It would be best to go to Europe to severely defeat the Dutch!
Yang Menglong naturally knew what she was up to, so he glared at her and said, "Don't fan the flames here, I can't even burn them without you telling me! Jiang Yan, do you have enough shells?"

Jiang Yan said: "There are enough shells!"

Yang Menglong asked: "Where are the sailors? How many are there?"

Jiang Yan counted with her fingers, and said: "If you gather together, you can gather more than three hundred people."

Yang Menglong said: "Great, you immediately send me all the people who can take part in the battle with rifles, and at the same time point the naval guns at the city wall and bombard me until it collapses!" Colombo City, snorted: "Today, I want to change the owner of Ceylon Island!"

The marshal's order was faithfully carried out. Jiang Yan mobilized all the miscellaneous personnel of her fleet to distribute rifles, pistols, and grenades, and joined the siege team.The sound of rumbling guns sounded the death knell of the Dutch colonists. The powerful shells came through the air, and when they fell on the city wall, they blew up gravel, and when they fell into the city, the houses collapsed and blood was scattered everywhere.The power of the naval guns is much stronger than that of the thunderbolts. A dozen shells go down, and a block is in a mess. The screams and cries resounded through the sky, and the civilians swarmed from the direction where they were not attacked despite the warnings of the Dutch. When they came out, countless casualties were caused by trampling on each other, and the barricades carefully arranged by the Dutch were also smashed by them.Yang Menglong took the opportunity to launch an attack, and [-] Ming soldiers rushed into the city, fighting fiercely with the enemy with rifles, bayonets, and grenades.

Dutch soldiers hid in the alleys or on the top of buildings and fought desperately with crossbows and muskets. The island of Ceylon is the basic disk of the Dutch East India Company in the Indian Ocean. Its strategic position is very important. Once lost, their colonial system in the Indian Ocean is likely to be destroyed. The collapse, no one can take responsibility for this, so in the roar of the governor, all the Dutch soldiers fought to the death and never retreated!The sailors of the Ming army were completely enraged by them, and as soon as they came up, they were deadly, patiently cleaning up the resistance in every corner like a razor. Some of them fell under the guns of the Dutch, but the Dutch soldiers The death was even worse. After firing one shot, there was no chance to fire a second shot. Either he was smashed into a sieve by a volley of guns, his hands and feet were blown up by a grenade, and he was even stabbed into a hornet's nest by a bayonet.The Dutch soldiers jumped out of the alley, jumped off the roof, and brandished their long swords to fight with the soldiers of the Ming army. As a result...the plate armor on their bodies hindered their actions, and most of them hadn't rushed to the soldiers of the Ming army. He was shot and killed by Ming soldiers.Plate armor is quite useful in the European battlefield. Smaller caliber muskets are difficult to pierce, and spears are also difficult to pierce, let alone long swords. Therefore, plate armor is standard equipment for European armies.But in the face of the Ming army, this pair of iron farts weighing [-] kilograms is useless. A single shot is a hole. After piercing the plate armor, the deformed warhead is even more lethal.

One day of fierce fighting, the Ming army killed at least 90 enemies. The streets and alleys were full of corpses, and blood flowed all over the ground, which was horrible.But the Dutch were not so easy to admit defeat. At night, they drilled out of the alleys and launched a night attack. The Ming army was not familiar with the terrain, suffered a lot, and was forced to retreat. The Dutch took back three blocks in one go.But the Ming army reacted quickly. First, they fired flares to illuminate the battlefield as bright as day, and then bombarded every corner where Dutch soldiers were active with several 600mm caliber lightning cannons, blowing up people and houses together. More than [-] shells were fired in one breath, causing many casualties to the Dutch.The Dutch who launched a counterattack were almost bleeding. Hundreds of soldiers of the Ming army charged up with bayonets and roared. How could the incontinent Dutchman withstand such a fierce charge of white blades? He was either stabbed to death or fled rolling and crawling. All the blocks he finally took back were thrown to the Ming army, and the Ming army took advantage of it. Grab two blocks.

The fierce battle continued the next day, but the Dutch were desperate—the main fleet of the Ming army arrived one after another, and thousands of marines joined the battlefield.They couldn't beat hundreds of troops made up of handymen. They were known as the "Black Death", and they couldn't even beat the Black Death, which even the Manchurian Eight Banners were afraid of.In the afternoon of the battle, the Dutch soldiers and their servants in the city were almost killed and wounded. The few remaining defeated soldiers hid in the governor's mansion, tied the governor and raised a white flag to surrender to the Ming army. The city of Colombo changed hands. His rule has also come to an end.

Yang Menglong walked into the Governor's Mansion. The unlucky Dutch Governor was crestfallen. He barely maintained the so-called aristocratic etiquette and saluted him, saying: "General Ming Dynasty, this is a misunderstanding. We didn't know that was your battleship... It's damned. We deeply regret this, and we are willing to pay you a war reparation that satisfies you. We only ask you to respect our interests in Ceylon and protect the captured Dutch soldiers. personal safety..."

The generals of the Ming Army glared at the fat pig with gloomy expressions, without saying a word.Catherine gloated and said: "Your Excellency, I was disgusted with the greedy and untrustworthy character of the Dutch, but now I have to admire your courage. You dared to drag back the flagship of the Ming Dynasty Navy Marshal as a spoil of war. , how should I put it? In the words of Ming people, you are really kind!"

The faces of the generals of the Ming army became even more gloomy, while the governor of the Netherlands turned pale, and said in a low voice, "We...we really didn't know it was a warship beforehand! We thought it was a stranded merchant ship..."

Yang Menglong waved his hand and said: "Stop talking nonsense, I'm telling you, you guys have pissed me off, even if you tell me about a flower, you won't be able to escape a beating! Go back to Holland immediately, tell the Dutch king, say You have robbed my flagship, this is a serious provocation to Daming and the Daming Navy, we cannot bear this kind of provocation, we decided to go to war with the Netherlands, let them wash their necks and wait!"

Catherine's schadenfreude smile became brighter and brighter, making the governor have the urge to vomit blood:
There are always bad people trying to harm me!
