Text 702 [Outrageous Johor soldiers]

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There are really only 180 Dutch defenders in Malacca, and this situation is normal.

    Taiwan actually has thousands of Dutch defenders, which is very outrageous.  The reason is that there are often indigenous rebellions in Taiwan, and the local Han people in Taiwan are also very tough, which led to the Netherlands having to increase its garrison one after another.

    Except for Batavia, in other colonial cities in the Netherlands, 180 people is the limit, and the remaining castles only have 30 to 50 people.

    Think about how big the Netherlands is, with that poor population, and to colonize the world, there are still more than 10,000 merchant ships sailing. How many Dutch people are left?

    The same is true for the United Kingdom, which has set up 28 offices in India, all of which add up to only more than 90 employees

    "Chen Erxun, an overseas Han citizen, meet Angel!"

    "Get up."

    Chen Erxun is a Chinese leader in Malacca. He has been breeding here for two hundred years. It is rare that he has not mixed blood.

    Ordinary Chinese don't have this ability, at most one or two generations of mixed blood, and often marry Malay women as wives.  This kind of mixed-race offspring, also known as Nyonya, is called Nyonya in full.

    "Da Da Nyonya".  The mixed-race man is called Da Da (Baba), and the mixed-race woman is called Nyonya.

    For Kuang Hong, an uninvited guest, Chen Erxun was actually very unwelcome.

    ?Because the Han Chinese and Han Chinese in Malacca are mixed, they have achieved a high degree of autonomy, and they have not been discriminated against. Instead, they are the upper race here - second only to the Dutch.

    This is what they fought for.

    During the rule of the Malacca Sultanate, the Han people were oppressed.  When the Portuguese came, the Han people not only provided the architectural drawings of the palace (castle), but also formed an army to help Portugal fight the war.

    Later, Portugal also began to exploit the Han people, and the Han people in Malacca helped the Netherlands fight the war.

    The Netherlands has ruled Malacca for less than ten years, and its strength is very weak. It has not had time to turn against the Han people. Instead, it has to rely on the Han people in all aspects.  Therefore, the tax amount of the Han people here is very light, and the relationship with the Dutch colonists is very good.

    For Chen Erxun, the Chinese leader in Malacca, the Chinese army is the real aggressor, breaking their beautiful and prosperous life!

    Chen Erxun asked: "Master Angel wants to capture Malacca?"

    Guang Kuanghong did not give the answer directly, but asked with a smile: "Otherwise, what should I bring the troops here for? Tell me, how many defenders are there."

    Chen Erxun secretly groaned, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he could only cooperate in order not to be implicated, and replied: "Less than 2."

    Kuang Hong's eyes lit up when he heard this. This guy was very young and he was only thinking of doing meritorious service. That's why he forced the Dutch governor to sign the contract. After completing the mission of Emperor Zhao, he would still touch porcelain.  He didn't intend to actually take Malacca, but if there are not many defenders, why not take it?

    What a great achievement!

    Moreover, due to the disastrous defeat of the Dutch fleet last year, although the number of warships has recovered, most of them are armed merchant ships temporarily recruited, and they dare not fight the Datong Navy at sea.

    Such a good opportunity must be seized!

    Kuang Hong returned to the naval ship and discussed with the naval commander Hong Xu: "General Hong, I haven't fought much, and the defenders in the castle are less than

    200, how to beat him down?  "

    Hong Xu said: "I observed the castle with binoculars, and asked a few local people. There is no other way. The soldiers climbed around by boat, climbed up the city wall and rushed in.

    The Malacca castle is disgusting and was built by the Portuguese.

    Built on the protruding part of the river's estuary, there are seas on the southeast, west and three sides, and a mountain on the north side.  After more than 100 years of expansion by the Portuguese, the outer walls of the castle became longer and longer, directly connecting with the mountains.

    If there are more than a thousand defenders inside, Hong Xu will definitely turn around and leave, and it is impossible for tens of thousands of troops to attack by force.

    but,

    There are only a hundred or so Dutch defenders, and they can't care about the long outer city walls.

    At least, the outer fortifications of the castle can be easily taken down.

    "Then get ready to fight!" Kuang Hong said.

    In the surrounding area of ??Malacca, there are not many other things, and the woods and bamboo forests are endless.  The Dutch colonists even complained: Malacca¡¯s land has nothing but jungles.

    In fact, food was also grown here in the past. After the establishment of the Malacca Sultanate, marine trade was developed in an all-round way, regardless of the agricultural development outside the city.  Over time, agriculture has degraded, with fewer farmlands and more woods and swamps.

    After the Portuguese and Dutch colonists came, this situation became more obvious.

    The Netherlands even only manages the urban area, handing over all the land outside the city to the landlords, and only collects a small symbolic agricultural tax every year.

    &Cited, here on the north side of the mountain, there are only 3 Dutch soldiers.  Moreover, after days of feints at sea, the spirit of the Dutch soldiers on the backing side has become a little slack.

    "Enemy attack!"

    Thousands of people approached the city wall in the woods, but they were only discovered tens of meters away. Moreover, someone on the attacking side accidentally slipped and rolled down the hillside, causing the movement to attract the attention of the defenders.

    There are no artillery on the city wall here.

    Because it is facing the hillside and woods, the shells cannot bounce, and the effect of shooting is not much different from shooting directly.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    3 Dutch defenders fired at random in the woods, and dozens of Johor soldiers ran away in fright when they heard the gunshots.

    It¡¯s no wonder that Johor was beaten and moved its capital several times. These Johor soldiers all held matchlock guns and everyone wore leather armor. As a result, some people fled when they met each other.

    "Come on!"

    The soldiers of the Datong Navy saw the signs of exposure, and immediately rushed down the hillside, and some simply  Slide down the hill.

    "First comers will be rewarded!"

    Among the Allied Forces of the Seven Nations, Prince Narai of Siam was the bravest, leading his army to charge with a spear in hand.

    His two consultant friends are also fierce people.

    Yang Dongkui was carrying a Chinese-style waist knife, and Hua Erkang was carrying a Western-style long sword. They followed Na Lai and shouted excitedly. The two regarded war as an adventure game.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    As the distance got closer, the Dutch muskets shot more accurately.

    Of the 3,000 Johor soldiers, only a dozen were actually killed, but they turned and fled one by one.  But this is a hillside, it's easy to get down, but it takes a lot of effort to climb up. In fact, it's safer to charge forward.

    On the contrary, there are several small countries, sandwiched between "big countries" on weekdays, and the soldiers' fighting will is much stronger.

    Kuang Hong was standing on the top of the mountain watching the battle, and when he saw this, he cursed angrily: "Damn it, what kind of stupid soldiers are in this Johor country? This is their former capital, and they don't even know how to go all out to get back to their old place!"

    When the soldiers of the Datong Navy, as well as the Siamese soldiers, rushed to build ladders outside the city wall, the 3,000 Johor soldiers had all collapsed, and it was the Johor prince who took the lead in escaping.

    It is no wonder that there are very few Dutch defenders in Malacca, because the surrounding area of ??the Malacca colony is all the territory of Johor.

    Facing such garbage soldiers, how could the Dutch colonists station heavy troops for defense?
