Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1241 The Violent Ming Dynasty Is Terrifying

This encounter, the battle process, has not been as long as the formation of the two sides.

The combat power of the Dutch is actually not bad, but their number is too small, only more than 2000, while the elite Ming army has 3.

These Ming troops were either the elite of the Northern Expedition, or suppressed the rebellion in Yunnan and Guizhou, and fought against the chieftain's troops all year round. The Dutch brought a group of native soldiers from small countries in Southeast Asia.

The Dutch tactic of volleying guns to kill did not defeat the Ming army. The Ming army only shot three rounds in a row, but it defeated the soldiers of the Sultanate.

In the whole battle, the Ming army fought extremely smoothly, and within two quarters of an hour of the start of the battle, the battle ended with the Ming army's complete victory.

The main casualties of the Ming army in this battle came from the confrontation with the Dutch and the bombardment of shells. The total casualties were less than 400, but they created a very brilliant record. They killed [-] enemies and captured [-] enemies. The enemy escapes.

Among them, more than 800 Dutch people were killed. Because they were located in the center and surrounded by the Ming army on both wings, most of the Dutch were captured by the Ming army.

At this time, the cavalry of the Ming army continued to chase and kill the defeated soldiers, while the rest of the troops were busy cleaning the battlefield. Teams of prisoners of war were gathered together by the soldiers of the Ming army, and the captured supplies piled up like a mountain, and more than a dozen elephants were captured by the Ming army. Caught it back.

These war elephants are not like cavalry that can turn. Most of them can only go straight. It is a one-shot deal. The Ming army followed behind and chased them all the way to the river. Some elephants fled into the river, and some were killed by the Ming army. Take the elephant and grab it directly.

Except for Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, elephants can still be seen in Daming, the elephant herds that were active in southern China have followed the pace of rhinos and are on the verge of extinction.

These elephants Li Dingguo were going to be sent to Nanjing, dedicated to Jian Guo, and kept in captivity.

At this time, Li Dingguo came to the pile of trophies. Except for the breastplate, muskets, and thirty cannons of the Dutch, there was nothing that could be seen by the well-equipped Ming army.

Even the fine armor of the Dutch was not used by the Ming army, so it had to be kept, or melted and sold as iron bumps.

"Marshal, I have captured several Champas, who are said to be from the royal family of Champa!" A soldier came to report.

Li Dingguo frowned slightly, somewhat understanding why the Dutch knew about the actions of the army. It turned out that there were people who led the way, and there was a secret connection between the Champa royal family and the Champa people under the Ming Dynasty.

"Kill it! Don't cause extra problems!" Li Dingguo said casually, it is better to get rid of this unstable factor, so as not to affect the stability of Champa.

The soldiers took the order and left, while Li Dingguo and others continued to move forward and came to the place where the captured Dutch were guarded.

At this time, the Dutch were no longer as arrogant as they used to be. Nearly a thousand people gathered together, and they were pointed at by the Ming army with firecrackers and dared not move. As soon as Li Dingguo approached, he felt the stench, so he couldn't help standing outside and stopped.

No way, in this era, even the Sun King of France doesn’t take a bath, and few people in Europe practice hygiene. Even the royal palaces and noble mansions don’t have toilets. At most, there is a wooden toilet. The whole of Europe defecates everywhere. The end of the Middle Ages has not changed, and Europeans are still "pooping everywhere, and feces can be seen everywhere on the street"...

In the eyes of the clean and tidy Ming Dynasty people who paid attention to appearance, this group of dirty Xiyi might not even compare with the Mongols in the north.

"Bring out their leaders!" Li Dingguo frowned.

Not long after, several Ming soldiers brought a white-skinned and red-haired Dutchman in front of Li Dingguo, and reported, "Commander, this person is the commander of Heyi, Wood."

"Commander?" Li Dingguo couldn't help laughing, "Nearly 2 people were defeated by the commander's army in less than two quarters of an hour. Just like you, you have the nerve to challenge my Ming Dynasty and tear up my Ming Dynasty's treaty. Don't you think Ashamed?"

Wood was also shocked by the strength of the Ming army. This country and this civilization are different from all the civilizations they have encountered. They are indeed not simple, and there is really no way to solve them with guns.

There is a saying in China that there are only three things, from the battle of Penghu, to the naval battle of Liuluowan, to the battle to regain Taiwan, and this time, the Dutch failed for the fourth time in a row. Woke up.

Wood is indeed aware of the strength of the Ming army, but he is still a little unconvinced in his heart, because every time he fails, the Ming Dynasty always wins with a large number, defeating them with a huge advantage in numbers, which is too ungentlemanly.

If the number of the two sides is equal, the Netherlands may not lose to the Ming army, Wood is still a little unconvinced, "Your Excellency, although you..."

"Bang bang bang~" Wood had just opened his mouth when a burst of gunshots came from the river, interrupting his words.

Wood turned his head to look, and saw that the Ming army took several Champas who had been tied behind their backs to the river, made them kneel facing the river, and then aimed the firecrackers at their heads from behind, pulled the trigger, and beat them instantly. The brains are splashed everywhere, the scene is clean and neat, but it is very bloody and shocking.

There are still a large number of Cham people in Champa. They planted rice under the organization of the Ming Dynasty, and these Cham people in exile on the southern islands are basically anti-Ming Cham nobles. In order not to affect the current stability of Champa, they were captured Those who occupy people, kill them all.

Wood stared dumbfounded at the Ming army shooting hundreds of people by the river and throwing the bodies into the river. His face turned pale, he swallowed, and changed his words instantly, "Your Excellency, the Netherlands and Ming are both countries of civilized people. We demand to be treated as civilized people."

The Ming Dynasty was very angry at the Dutch invasion of the Ming Dynasty several times.

The Chinese pay attention to the fact that a division is well-known, and there must be a reason for starting a war. If it means that the Ming Dynasty occupied the territory of the Netherlands, and you want to send troops to avenge it, then it is okay to say that the Ming Dynasty did not provoke you, but you repeated it several times for no reason. It is unreasonable to kill people at the door.

Wang Yan summed up the lessons of the previous three times. Why did the Dutch dare to attack the Ming Dynasty after winning three times and did not take the Ming Dynasty seriously? One very important reason is that although the Ming Dynasty defeated the Netherlands many times, An unforgettable lesson for the Dutch, they didn't hurt them, so they felt that the Ming Dynasty could be bullied, and they called again and again.

In the final analysis, there is a problem with the Huairou policy of the Ming Dynasty. There is only kindness, but no majesty.With such a policy, if you meet those who are shameless and grateful, it is good to say that once you meet a shameless jackal, you can only be regarded as a fool.

This time Wang Yan specifically told Li Dingguo that he must let these Dutch people know the fate of angering the Ming Dynasty.

"My Daming lives in the world. I have the beauty of uniforms and great etiquette. I am naturally a country of civilization." Li Dingguo looked at Wood, looked him up and down, and felt that these Xiyi were really big-hearted, or shameless. .Li Dingguo paused, and said with a sneer: "But this commander-in-chief, Guan Er, is extremely dirty. He has neither the beauty of rules nor the greatness of etiquette. He is vulgar and rude, savage and bloodthirsty. He doesn't understand justice. I'm afraid he won't be called a civilized person." !"

These Dutchmen killed thousands of Ming people in Nanyang, why don't they talk about a civilized country?Isn't it funny that you want to be treated like a civilized person now?
After hearing what Li Dingguo said, Wood didn't quite understand it, but from the sneer on the other side's face, he probably understood what the other side meant.

For a moment, he was terrified in his heart, afraid that the Ming army would kill him like they killed the Champa, so he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, there are still many Ming people in Malacca, and the East India Company will exchange them for us. Mingren, please protect our safety."

"You threaten me!" Li Dingguo couldn't help frowning when he heard the words. What Wood meant was that if he killed them, the Ming people in Malacca would also be in danger.

"Don't dare to endanger Your Excellency, this is just a deal!" Wood saw scruples from Li Dingguo's face.

Li Dingguo originally planned to keep the normal people and kill all the wounded after learning some information from He Yi according to the intention of the supervisor, because he didn't bring much supplies, and he didn't have the time to take care of the wounded from Xi Yi, but After hearing what Wood said, Li Dingguo changed his mind.

The Ming army must make them fear, make them afraid, make them regret, and He Yi naturally dare not kill any more.

"If that company dares to kill another person, I will definitely make them regret it." Li Dingguo said with a sullen face, "I will not make deals with the barbarians. Don't worry, you won't die, and I will let you go back later." , but before that, you have to open your eyes and watch the consequences of angering Daming!"

After the Ming army conquered Taiwan, they made a deal with the Dutch and released the Dutch captives, but it seems that they did not get their gratitude, but in exchange for their massacre of Nanyang Ming people.

Jian Guo explained that this time the Netherlands had to be hurt so that they could truly realize that they were wrong, repent, and know that the Ming Dynasty could not be provoked, so that they could talk about morality again.

Li Dingguo suddenly waved his hand, "Sink all these Heyi into Jiang!"

Wood's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he uttered a mouthful of Dutch in a panic. The nearly thousand Dutch people in custody suddenly became commotion, and a Dutch barbarian on the edge jumped up, trying to seize the weapons in the hands of the Ming army. The Ming army didn't wait for the general to give the order, so they pulled the trigger suddenly, knocking the leaping Heyi away.

The surrounding Ming army also opened fire suddenly, shooting and killing all the He Yi who stood up. Hack them all.

After the riot was subdued, the ground was already covered with corpses, which were covered with blood, and only a small half of He Yi was left squatting on the ground, trembling, not daring to move.

Wood was kicked down by Chen Youlong, and was held down by the soldiers to kneel on the ground. He had blood on his forehead, and watched as He Yi who resisted were all killed. The Ming army rushed to the river, tied their hands and feet, tied stones, and threw them into the river.

The Dutch despised the lives of other races and killed wantonly. When others despised their lives, Wood looked at the Ming army in front of him, and at that moment, his heart, which was driven by greed, finally felt fear from the bottom of his heart.
