The Dongyu soldiers who attacked from the front, inspired by Gillenhae, boldly straightened their waists and rushed towards the Ming army's position. After they were ready to enter the flintlock firing range, they lay down on the ground and crawled forward.
"Boom,"
"Boom,"
"Boom."
…
Gillenhai was stunned, and now he was still out of the range of the Ming army's flintlock rifle, did the Ming army ambush the gunmen under the ground? He clearly saw the explosion coming from the ground.
"what happened?"
"General, there is a bomb in the ground." The soldier's words confirmed that Gyllenhae was right.
"Did the Ming army bury the soldiers under the ground?" Gillenhai was crying without tears. He discovered a phenomenon. As long as the soldiers stop attacking, the bomb will not explode. Once the soldiers rush forward, they will be blown to death. Without a whole body, could it be that the Buddha told us to stop the attack
Ji Lunhai did not believe that the Buddha would help the Ming army!
The Ming army on the frontal battlefield was watching with cold eyes. The terrifying effect of landmines on the Tongyu Army gave them a temporary rest. They were ready. Once the Tongyu Army waded through the minefield, it was time for them to attack.
On the side battlefield, the Ming army gunners guarding the mountain artillery had already engaged the Tongyu army. The Ming army took advantage of the number and range of fire to eat and live the Dongyu army.
One thousand Dongyu Army, after paying the cost of six hundred casualties, could not get close to the mountain artillery.
Both attacks were blocked.
Gillenheim really couldn't see where he was wrong, but the situation on the battlefield was too unfavorable for him.
"General, we have more than half of our casualties."
"What? More than half of the casualties?" Gillenhai was not surprised. He was stunned. In just two days, his soldiers were more than half casualties. In another two days... It seemed that the Ming army on the opposite side showed no signs of weakening.
This army is the capital on which Gillenhai relied on his life after the demise of Dongyu. Once the soldiers are all gone, he will become an ordinary Dongyu fugitive, and anyone can trample him to death.
The mountain cannon is like a ghost, and the soldiers are still harvesting Toungoo.
Jilunhai looked up to the sky and sighed: Since I gave birth to Jilunhai, why did the Ming army be born again
"Withdraw!" Ji Lunhai finally gave in, and the Ming army could afford it, but he was a rootless Ping, a fish of Chenze, and could not accompany the Ming army to consume it.
The Toungoo soldiers who were given the order to retreat turned around and fled and retreated to the bank of the Jelai River.
Seeing Dong Yubing retreating, Zheng Xing immediately issued an order to chase. The Ming army looked like a hungry tiger, staring at the prey in front of him, and yelled at it.
The front of the Ming Army was a minefield set up by itself. The soldiers could only go around from both sides, and the speed suddenly slowed down.
By the time the Ming army pursued the Jelai River, most of the Dongyu soldiers had already retreated to the north bank through the four pontoon bridges on the river. The Ming army only shot and killed hundreds of Dongyu soldiers on the south bank and on the pontoon bridges.
"Master, chase or not?"
"Chasing, the Tunyu Army has already suffered more than half of its casualties, and it is impossible to bury an ambush in the middle." Zheng Xing decided to cross the Zhelai River first, and perhaps the Ulu Mela Mountain could stop the Tunyu Army for a while.
When the Ming army set foot on the pontoon, the Dongyu army immediately separated a group of hundreds of soldiers to stop the Ming army on the north bank.
Zheng Xing saw that the form was not right, and the Ming army was dispersed. There was no shelter on the pontoon, nor was it possible to avoid Dongyujun's bows and arrows.
The Marine Corps soldiers squatted, squatted, and stood in groups of three on the pontoon, imitating the three-stage shooting, but there were too many Tonkoo soldiers on the shore, and the Marine Corps suffered heavy casualties. The two sides were competing for consumption.
About half an hour later, the remaining Tongyu soldiers, after leaving most of their bodies, began to retreat to Urumela Mountain. The Marines took the opportunity to attack and occupy the north bank of the Jelai River.
However, Zheng Xing discovered that the Tongyu Army had already crossed the Urumei Pass, heading north, and could not catch up.
He simply gave up the pursuit and began to naturalize the people near Urumela Mountain. The local people have basically been harmed by the Tongyu soldiers. Now he has seen the Ming army expelled the Tongyu army, and the head of Sumidan from it. Through mediation, the naturalization work went smoothly.
With three thousand remnants, Jilunhai met Lu Yufeng of the 58th Division on the west bank of the Pattani River. The two counters fought for one day. The Jilunhai was defeated, and most of the soldiers were killed and injured. They had to turn to the west, but the Malay Peninsula was too much here. It was narrow and the army couldn't avoid it, and was bitten by Lu Yukun's ministry.
Zheng Xing returned to the north after naturalizing the local people. Under the guidance of Lu Yufeng's department, he found the Jilunhai in Danrang, one north and the south. The army and navy of the Ming army surrounded the rest of the Jilunhai. After two days of fighting, Danjang was almost razed to the ground by a bomb in the village of Dongyu. There were only a few hundred soldiers left in the Tongyu Army.
Seeing no hope of breaking through the siege, Jilunhai drew his sword and killed himself, and the rest surrendered to the Ming army.
After a day of rest, Zheng Xing and Lu Yufeng returned to the army and naturalized the local people along the way.
The Malay Peninsula and Burma Province have actually been connected as a whole in the pursuit of the Gironde Sea.
After receiving the battle report from Zheng Xing, Zheng Zhilong knew that the land was scheduled, and he immediately called the guards around him: "Notify the messenger, go to Batavia, I want to negotiate with Spex."
Speks was ready for a long time, and he was worried that Zheng Zhilong would not negotiate! After receiving Zheng Zhilong's letter, he immediately began peace talks with Zheng Zhilong.
The two sides started their first peace talks at Penang Port on Bangka Island.
The Malacca Waterway and the Sumudu Island and the Malay Peninsula on both sides of the waterway are now occupied by the Ming military and should belong to the land of Ming Dynasty. The Portuguese governor Manotti is about to sign an instrument to hand over this waterway and the land on both sides of the strait. To Daming, naturally it is not in the negotiation.
There is Batavia, the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company, on the island of Java. In addition, there are also many commercial strongholds of the Dutch. The small countries on the island have all surrendered to the Netherlands. The island of Java belongs to the Netherlands. Zheng Zhilong has no objections in principle, but Zheng Zhilong made it clear He stated that if a peace agreement cannot be reached, Daming will not recognize that Java Island belongs to the Netherlands.
The dispute between Zheng Zhilong and Spex mainly consists of four pieces of land: Borneo, Sulawesi, Spice Islands, and the Southeast Islands to the east of Java Island.
Borneo is the third largest island in the world. It is located between the Malacca Waterway and the province of Luzon in Daming. It faces the Dutch-occupied Java Island across the Java Sea to the south.
Many small countries have been established on Borneo. They have always been friendly with Ming. They are basically vassal countries of Ming. The Boni country commonly seen in the classics of Ming is located in Borneo.
With the integration of the East and the West, the *** religion gradually took root on the island, and several *** kingdoms were established on the island, such as Machen, Sanfa, Sukardana, Randak, etc. After the advent of the great maritime era, Portugal and Spain successively established trading bases on the island.
Later, the Dutch came here and gradually replaced Portugal and Spain, gained control of Borneo, and all independent kingdoms were disintegrated.
The inhabitants of Borneo, apart from whites and 100,000 Hans, have a complex and diverse native language, ethnicity, and diversity. They are mainly Dayaks in the south, Malays in the southeast, Dushun in the northwest, and Dushun in the northeast. The Bayao people, the Maolu people in the central region, and the European whites are mainly based in the north, while the Han people are mainly concentrated in Pontianak in the west, except for the scattered distribution in the north.
Sulawesi Island is located in the east of Borneo, with the province of Luzon in Daming to the north, Java Island in the southwest, and Southeast Islands to the south. The inhabitants of the island have been transformed by the Dutch, and there are mainly seven races. : Toyala, Toracha, Phuket, Makassar, Minahasa, Mori, Grontalo, the Dutch have established trading bases in Makassar in the south, and since Daming has established a province in Luzon Later, the footsteps of the Han people began to set foot on Manado in the north.
The Spice Islands are east of Sulawesi and southeast of Daming Luzon Province. They are the passage from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean. The island is named for its rich spices. In addition to spices, the island also produces cloves, cardamom, pepper, fish and shrimp, and pearls. Wait, it is surprisingly similar to the history of Sulawesi. First it was captured by Portugal and Spain. After the Dutch came to Southeast Asia, they drove away the Portuguese and Spanish, and monopolized the Spice Islands. After the establishment of the province of Luzon, the Han people began. Set foot in the Spice Islands.
The Southeast Archipelago is in the very east of Java and is now basically controlled by the Dutch.
These four disputed islands, among which Borneo, Sulawesi, and Spice Islands all face the Luzon province of Ming Dynasty across the sea, and there are signs of Han Chinese activities. Borneo even connects the province of Ming Luzon and Ma The Rokko Waterway was separated from the sea.
The Southeast Islands have little to do with Daming, and there are no Han people on the islands.
When Zheng Zhilong considered the problem, he would not think from the perspective of the Dutch. He really had to stand from the perspective of the other party. There are Dutch strongholds on these four lands, so there is no need for Da Ming to fight.
"Commander Zheng, the Southeast Islands are on the east side of Java Island and are almost connected to Java Island. These islands naturally belong to the Netherlands." Speks did his part. On the issue of land, he would not be polite with Zheng Zhilong.
"Haha, the Governor already has an idea?" Zheng Zhilong is not in a hurry. The Dutch negotiated with Daming not because of their kindness, but because of the strength of the South China Sea Fleet and the strength to back it up. He doesn't need to worry if he can't be at the negotiating table. If you want to solve the problem, then use the ship to solve it. "I don't know what arrangements the Governor has made for the other three islands?"
"Commander Zheng Mingjian, the Dutch have been operating on the Spice Islands for decades. Many islands are named after our Dutch. They naturally belong to the Netherlands." Speks seemed to be in his own home. Did not hesitate Zheng Zhilong's dissatisfaction.
"Your Excellency, continue!" Zheng Zhilong was not angry, but asked Spex to finish the one-man show.
"There are 23 Dutch trade strongholds on Borneo, and all the small countries on the island were destroyed by the Dutch. In order to wipe out these small countries, the East India Company suffered a lot of personnel and economic losses. Although there were some Han people, but they are all laborers and they do not exercise management rights. Therefore, Borneo also belongs to the Netherlands.” Seeing that Zheng Zhilong did not interrupt, Speks thought Zheng Zhilong basically agreed with him. If Daming wants some financial compensation, he can consider it. , Quandang was robbed by pirates.
"In the opinion of your Excellency, Sulawesi also belongs to the Netherlands? After all, the East India Company came here earlier than the Daming South China Sea Fleet." Zheng Zhilong waited for Spex to talk about it, and then said coldly.
