- The Netherlands lost 15 warships at one time, and the variables brought about can be large or small.
Because the Netherlands does not rely on large ships to dominate the sea, but the more than 10,000 merchant ships.
Take the first Anglo-Dutch war as an example. The Netherlands sold its European fleet to only 55 old warships. However, after many frictions with the United Kingdom, the Netherlands felt that war was inevitable, so it requisitioned a large number of armed merchant ships, expanding to 226 in less than half a year.
In the past few years only, the Second Anglo-Dutch War broke out. .
The Netherlands, whose economy was paralyzed, dispatched hundreds of warships again. This is still the case when the commander of the Dutch Navy led a large number of warships on an expedition to Africa, otherwise the number of warships in the Netherlands must be close to 200.
As far as the Netherlands is concerned, it doesn't matter if it loses a fleet, and it can make up for it with armed merchant ships every minute.
The real headache for the Netherlands is the lack of personnel and the huge commercial benefits that will be lost after losing the war. The Netherlands is not like a country, but more like a big company, and the company's first consideration is profit.
Governor of Batavia, Van der Lin, immediately requisitioned 8 armed merchant ships.
Instead of sending troops to Taiwan, he wanted to stabilize the situation on Java Island and prevent the United Kingdom from sending troops to Banten.
The British East India Company and the Dutch East India Company competed fiercely in Asia. The Netherlands even massacred the British and killed all the British on an island.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
It was not who was shooting, but a merchant ship in Batavia Harbor, and suddenly the crew set off firecrackers on the deck.
The incense master Zheng Hua waited for the firecrackers to be set off, and shouted towards the shore with a smile: "Great victory, great victory, the court's navy defeated the Dutch navy in the Sulu Sea! Long live your majesty! Long live the Datong navy!"
"Long live Your Majesty, long live the Datong Navy!"
The Chinese businessman on the pier shouted with his buddies.
The Chinese coolies who settled here couldn't help smiling, but they were afraid of causing trouble, so they didn't follow suit and shouted long live.
Zheng Hua is Zheng Zhilong's confidant. Zheng Zhilong is no longer out of the sea, busy building bridges and paving roads in his hometown, donating money to the school frantically, and wants to let all Zheng's descendants go into official careers.
However, the Zheng family's trading fleet is the largest in the country.
As for the incense master held by Zheng Hua, it belongs to the regular configuration of the fleet. Its main duties are: to take care of the Mazu gods on board, worship Mazu and the compass, and offer tributes to the straits and islands along the way (the straits and islands have spirits, which can bless the fleet).
To put it bluntly, the incense master is dedicated to incense, which can be understood as the Minister of Rites in the fleet.
News about the war quickly spread to the shipyard.
Lin Changfu was still working in the shipyard at this time, but a few years later, his son has grown up and married a mixed-race woman as his wife
¡ª¡ªMixed blood of Han Chinese and Malays.
After finally making it to dinner time, Lin Changfu said to Chen Dongshan: "The emperor won the battle, have you heard?"
"I heard, don't implicate us." Chen Dongshan said worriedly.
A few years ago, Chen Dongshan said that he wanted to return to his roots, and he took his wife and children back to China to repair the ancestral graves.
But he didn't leave after all, because he suffered a serious illness and spent a lot of money on treatment. And because he didn't believe in religion, the Batavian colonial government increased the poll tax for those who refused to convert. Here, Europeans have the lowest tax, followed by the Malays, while the Chinese have the highest tax.
This situation is not a special case, it is the same in the whole Nanyang.
The main reason is that the Han people are too capable. The colonists of Spain, the Netherlands and other countries had to suppress the Han people through taxation.
Lin Changfu sighed and said, "That's right, I'm afraid that Hongmao will lose the fight and take his anger out on us Tang people."
Chen Dongshan looked forward to it: "I heard from the merchants in Bacheng (Batavia) that after the emperor occupied Luzon Island, the Tang people in Luzon would no longer pay heavy taxes. This time, they are attacking Taiwan again. The Tang people in Taiwan must definitely They also don¡¯t pay heavy taxes. It would be great if the emperor sent troops to occupy Bacheng one day, and we would all have a good life.¡±
Lin Changfu grinned: "That's great."
His son Lin Yaozu interrupted suddenly: "Uncle Chen, my father said that the Tang Dynasty is very big, and the city of Guangzhou is bigger than the city of Bacheng. Is he bragging?"
"Go away!" Lin Changfu cursed.
Chen Dongshan suddenly laughed, and said with disdain: "Compared with Guangzhou, this Bacheng is nothing!"
Lin Yaozu asked again: "Adjoining Bacheng, Wandan and Matalan are the largest. Is Wandan and Matalan together as big as Tang?"
"The Tang Kingdom is bigger than ten Wandan Kingdoms!"p; Denker directly asked: "Surrender?"
Felberg said: "Persevere a little longer, wait until the food is finished."
Denker asked: "The time has dragged on for too long, and the Chinese army has consumed too much rations. Will it be dangerous to surrender at that time? What if the Chinese are angered and we are all killed?"
Fairberg fell silent for a moment.
Denker didn't speak. He had killed too many Han Chinese and indigenous people, and he didn't dare to surrender at this moment.
The castle was built on the island, and there was no way to escape, nor did he dare to surrender, so he could only bite the bullet and delay.
After a long time, Felberg said: "Send envoys to contact us. If you are willing to let us go back to Batavia, you will agree to surrender and let Zeelandia go."
The so-called envoy was a Han Chinese living on the island.
When this person saw Li Dingguo, he immediately explained his intention.
Li Dingguo sneered: "Go back and tell the red-haired ghost that His Majesty has ordered that the debt be paid with blood! Although the Datong army is short of food, they can still siege the city."
There is no need to besiege the city at all, just keep the Taiwan fleet and patrol the nearby waters every day to prevent the Dutch from going out to buy food.
On the side of Chixian City, 2,000 Datong troops are enough.
For the rest, what to do, let the Dutch slowly consume food on the island. Half a year later, the food ran out, and all the Dutch on the island starved to death.
