All Heavens Dragon System - Chapter 2827
Although Shen Long’s fleet now has only a few ships, it is enough to deal with the Dutch. The Dutch have enjoyed a good reputation in the last century. They are called “coachmen on the sea”. The number of merchant ships in the Netherlands exceeds the total number of merchant ships in all European countries. , To establish colonies and trading bases around the world.
At its peak, the Dutch East India Company already had 15,000 branches, and its trade volume accounted for half of the world’s total trade volume; more than 10,000 merchant ships flying the Dutch tricolor flag cruised on the world’s five oceans. There are 20,000 ships in the world, and the Netherlands has 15,000. There are more ships than Britain, France, and Germany.
But in the late 17th century, the Netherlands fought with Britain and France successively, the Netherlands was defeated by Britain at sea (the Anglo-Dutch War), and the Netherlands was defeated by France on land (the French-Dutch War), and thus declined.
In May 1652, the two fleets clashed in the Strait of Dover and clashed with Dutch maritime trade. The fuse was the British attack on Dutch merchant ships, which triggered a large-scale ship operation. On July 8, war was officially declared.
The British navy blocked the Strait of Dover and the North Sea, intercepting Dutch merchant ships, and the Netherlands organized fleet escorts. The naval battle between the two sides gradually developed from a blockade and anti-blockade trade war to a decisive battle between the main fleets for control of the sea. In August 1653, the Netherlands concentrated its naval power with The British decisive battle was defeated, and the British took control of the sea in the English Channel, paralyzing the Dutch economy, which relied on trade for survival.
The Second Anglo-Dutch War took place in 1999. It was caused by the British enacting stricter maritime laws and occupying the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam (now New York) in North America. In general, although the British were defeated, they did not damage the foundation. The third Anglo-Dutch War was brewing.
It happened that after the French king Louis XIV took power in 1661, he tried his best to dominate Europe to launch an expansion war, so he chose Spain as his military target in 1667 to launch a legacy war (year), but he had just occupied a large territory and was planning to take the northeast. All of the Spanish Netherlands (now Belgium) was interfered by the Dutch Republic.
So the two sides signed the Secret Treaty of Dover in 1670. Charles II of England and Louis XIV of France formed an alliance and jointly attacked the Netherlands. France won a huge victory. Louis XIV became the King of the Sun. However, Britain lost four games in a row at sea. Armistice, but Britain has been brewing the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War and looking for allies all over the world.
When Zheng Chenggong defeated the Dutch, they had their shadow. Later, the British tried to cooperate with the Manchus. Unfortunately, the Manchus had no meaning in this respect. However, in Shen Long, they could take advantage of the European countries. Contradiction.
The Fourth Anglo-Dutch War has not yet begun, and the Netherlands has not yet completely declined, but their main forces are in Europe and the American continent, and they have some radiation capabilities in East Asia. Shen Long can easily solve them.
At the same time, he also regarded this attack on Batavia as a good opportunity for military training. It is also time to let these soldiers know what a real modern naval battle is. It’s not enough to bully weak chickens like Japan, too powerful. It doesn’t work if you can’t win. The Netherlands is just right.
So the port quickly mobilized and was ready for war. The huge fleet set off from the officers and headed south. Pirates along the way avoided their sharp edges. These days, Shen Long kept letting his hands go down to clean up the pirates in the strait in order to train troops. , Now those pirates have been driven by him to the Guangdong and Guangxi waters.
Now that they saw this posture, they thought that Shen Long was going to kill them all, until they watched Shen Long continue to go south, they breathed a sigh of relief and secretly prayed that it is best that they die with those red hairs. Otherwise, there will be no good days for us.
The fleet arrived in Batavia, and Shen Long declared war on the Dutch. He counted all the sins they had committed against the Chinese in Southeast Asia for many years, and asked them to leave the city and surrender immediately, or they would be killed.
The Dutch were stunned, what’s your identity? What qualifications do you have to declare war on us? The Governor of Batavia was furious and immediately ordered the navy to attack. The captains of Batavia’s battleships were a bit fictitious. At first glance, these battleships were the latest models of the British. Did the British find allies in East Asia?
The cost is really big. These new-style warships are not what our old-fashioned warships can contend with. I hope these enemies are novices and can’t exert the full power of warships, right?
Unfortunately, they were wrong. Under Shen Long’s strict supervision, although this navy is a new army, its driving skills, artillery skills and various other combat skills are much better than the Dutch. The Dutch are the most powerful. All of its troops are in Europe, and the ones in Asia are nothing more than scum.
After experiencing the initial turmoil, the soldiers of the Shenlong fleet gradually calmed down. The tactical actions became more standard. The Dutch slowly couldn’t stand it. One after another battleship was sunk, and their navy was destroyed~www .mtlnovel.com~Shen Long started shelling the port again, destroying their fort, and sending landing troops ashore.
Governor Batavia originally wanted to hold on with the city wall, but Shen Long’s artillery was far better than them, and there were even mortars used to attack the city. In addition, the Chinese who were dissatisfied with the Dutch rule began to resist. After persisting for a few days, he could only surrender.
The governor who caused the Hongxi tragedy is dead, but there are still many executioners who stayed in Batavia. Shen Long let them recognize them one by one and sentenced them to death, leaving those who had never oppressed the Chinese. , All property was confiscated and driven out.
And let them inform the Southeast Asian forces on the way back, whether you are Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese or other people, who dare to kill the Chinese, Shen Long will not let them go.
When the news spread, the Spaniards began to worry. They did not do similar things less, but the British and French were very excited. They arrived late and had not had time to do these things. Suddenly a powerful force emerged here. Perhaps you can consider working with him to weaken the influence of the Dutch and the Spanish in East Asia.
As for the Chinese people everywhere, they were overjoyed after hearing this news. We have been living overseas for many years and have no support. Now we finally have a backing!
So many groups of Chinese went to Batavia, Pontianak, and even Dayuan Island to join Shen Long. In addition, Shen Long gathered the Chinese in Pontianak and Batavia. For a time, Shen Long There are already over a million Chinese who directly rule.
After digesting these people, you can directly raise the flag to rebel!
