    Zhenjuan 1 Sleepy Shoal 707 "Dear Mr. Chinese Ambassador, I am Saunders, a councilor and senior staff member of the Dutch East India Company. The army you lead is very heroic. I am willing to surrender to you on behalf of the company. Please ensure that all employees of the company  safety of life¡­¡±

    Sanders walked out of the bastion with his men, bowed down in a very gentlemanly salute, and then babbled a lot.

    Kuang Hong expressed his attitude: "The Dutch officials and soldiers in Malacca did not harm the Chinese civilians, so you are innocent. However, the two countries are at war, and casualties are inevitable. My soldiers suffered a lot, which was caused by you. Now your  You are prisoners of war. You will all be imprisoned until Governor Batavia comes up with a plan to completely resolve the conflict between the two countries."

    All the Dutch, including Sanders, breathed a sigh of relief.

    ?Because of the Chinese and other seven-nation coalition forces, hundreds of people were killed and injured before and after the siege, and the casualties of the Malay aborigines were close to 1,000.  Fearing that this would anger Kuang Hong, they ordered to kill all the surviving Dutchmen.

    The arsenal in the central castle was quickly emptied.  Whether it is compacted gunpowder or dried gunpowder, they are all thrown into the sea and destroyed.

    These things are too unstable, and they will explode if you are not careful, so you must deal with them as soon as possible to make people feel at ease.

    After the arsenal was emptied, Sanders and other Dutch prisoners of war were imprisoned in the arsenal.

    Immediately, Kuang Hong ordered: "Count the property in the castle, and reward the soldiers of all countries for their merits!"

    Malacca is the exclusive port of the Netherlands, and ships from other countries cannot enter the port.  Of course, it is also possible to enter the port, but a super high port entry tax is charged, so merchant ships from various countries generally choose to replenish at the ports of Johor or Aceh.

    Dutch merchant ships come twice a year to take away the goods stored in Malacca.

    There are also some merchant ships that will transport some commodities and store them in Malacca.  For example, the commodities purchased from Thailand will all be transshipped to Malacca, mainly hematoxylin, ash and fur.

    "My lord, there are a lot of goods in the warehouse, and it takes time to figure out how much it is worth. In addition, there are dozens of black slaves in the castle. How to deal with these slaves?"

    "Neggers? Did they go to war?"

    "They didn't have weapons, but they helped carry things during the war. After interrogation, these black slaves were either servants of Dutch officials or porters in the castle warehouse."

    "It's not good to release them directly. These black slaves probably can't find a living. His Majesty also forbids the army to sell slaves. Let them work as coolies first. The auctioned materials just need someone to carry the goods. Choose a few smart black slaves and let them  They were in charge of the other niggers."

    The seized Dutch goods seem to be a lot, but they are actually of little value in exchange for silver. After all, they are all Southeast Asian specialties, and they have to be shipped to Europe to really make a fortune.

    Just like coal, how much can you earn by selling it in Shanxi?

    Several small countries helped to send troops. Since Malacca was taken down, they would get some profit.

    Kuang Hong called all the leading generals from various countries and announced: "I will give you half of the materials seized in Malacca. The Siamese army should be rewarded for their bravery in battle. Of the half of the materials, Siam alone takes two of them."  The rest will be shared according to the number of troops sent by each country."

    "Thank you, Lord Angel!" Prince Narai was overjoyed.  The second thing is to get more spoils, mainly because of the favor of Chinese officials,

    Kuang Hong continued: "Everyone has contributed to the war, and you can follow me to Nanjing to meet His Majesty the Emperor. If you send your own boat, you can bring as many people as you like, and you are responsible for the travel expenses. If you take a Chinese ship to Nanjing, you can bring one person with you.  All the travel expenses for the entourage within are borne by China."

    ?For small countries like Dani and Dingjialu, they only have small mountain boards near the sea, and they do not have the ability to go to China by themselves.  As soon as this remark came out, they were overjoyed, and they all wanted to go to China with the boat to see, anyway, China promised to pay for the travel expenses.

    Big countries like Johor and Siam want to take the opportunity to engage in trade.  They are easy to be robbed when they go to sea independently, and they can avoid the risk of pirates by going with the Chinese navy.

    After pacifying the nobles of these small countries, the local Chinese leader Chen Erxun actually came to offer advice.

    "My lord, since the heavenly soldiers have occupied Malacca, they can send troops to seize Ambon Island." Chen Erxun said.

    Kuang Hong asked confused: "Where is Ambon Island?"

    Chen Erxun: "According to this, the sea route is thousands of miles away. I heard that it is in the southern waters of Sulu Kingdom."

    Kuang Hong laughed and said, "You know something so far away?"

    ? Chen Erxun said: "Small people have settled in Malacca for generations, and Ambon Island is the starting point of the spice trade. Every year, countless spicesThe capital is not far from the other side of the Singapore Strait.  The last time Johor moved its capital was when the capital was burned down by Portugal. Since then, even Singapore has not been taken seriously, and now only a group of Malay natives live there.

    It is estimated that a few thousand taels of silver can buy the whole of Singapore from Johor, because that place is really worthless, and even the land can't grow a few grains.

    Hong Xu pointed casually: "It's better to occupy this whole piece."

    The piece Hong Xu pointed to was the archipelago south of Singapore, including Batam Island, Linga Island, Singji Island, etc., all of which belonged to the territory of Johor at this time.

    Kuang Hong shook his head and said: "There are too many, all of which are barren islands, and they don't have the energy to manage them after they are occupied, as long as Temasek is the throat."
