In the early morning of the next morning, the sky was dawn, and the unique mist of the South Ocean enveloped the sky above Yagoda. The quiet city was suddenly awakened by the sound of drums. The barracks were silly, and hundreds of households and sergeants kept urging soldiers to gather. The generals rode on high-headed horses. On ships anchored at the port, sailors and sailors rushed out of the cabin door, put away the iron anchor, raised their sails to prepare to go to sea.

The Ming army was divided into four parts, one led by Wang Qiu to 5,000 battalions of the Death, Shenyong, Shenji, and Xinseng battalions to advance by land, and the water was led by Liu Er and Liu Guoxuan to clear the islands along the coast of Java from east and south. The remaining part of the Ming army, the Spaniards and local Tiandihui members were ordered to guard Yagoda.

The main military facilities in Java are built on coastal ports, but inland cities do not pay attention to them. Even some small cities are not stationed in the Netherlands. Most of them are assisted by local natives. Therefore, Wang Qiu's land operations were the fastest. He only arrived at the small town in Canan, southeast of Yagoda. Before the attack was organized, the local native troops had already surrendered and expressed his willingness to welcome the Ming army into the city.

After Wang Qiu left a small number of troops to guard the army, he continued to stand up and captured seven or eight towns in Java in three days. The Nanyang Navy Battalion led by Liu Er also received good news. Due to the letter of surrender signed by the Governor of Java and the directors of the East India Company, the Dutch mercenary corps in some ports simply put down their weapons and walked out of the fort to express their compliance with the decisions of the Governor of the United States and the directors of the Netherlands. The land of the Netherlands was small and the population was even small. Most of them were mercenaries from European countries to work for the East India Company to make money. There was no need to confront the Ming army, which had a powerful warship.

In mid-January of the New Year, the war reports of Java quickly spread to Haidu, and the newspapers of various school residences were no longer noisy. The whole picture was full of articles about Java Island. Another victory made all the Han people in the South China Sea excited and lived here for several years or even decades. The strong strength of the Dutch people has long been heard of. The strong strength of the Ming Navy captured the capital of Java Yagoda in one fell swoop and proud of everyone under the rule of the Southern Ming Dynasty. For a time, the sales of each residence increased greatly, and some merchants also saw the business opportunities and bought the newspapers and instead sold them to eight other provinces. It is said that some remote Burmese gentry could offer a high price of one tael of silver to buy a newspaper.

A Sumatra businessman had an idea and produced a batch of Ming army's sun and moon flags in his textile workshop. The four words "Long Live My Emperor" were written below the flag and sold to the market. They were sold out at once. So a strange scene appeared in Haidu City. There was a sun and moon flag at the door of every household. When the wind blew, colorful flags surging all over the city, which was also considered a scene in the city.

By the end of the month, the news of the capture of land in Java spread to Haidu City. With it, four or five small countries in Nanyang sent envoys to the tribute land. These small countries were originally bullied by the Dutch and have always been vassals of the Dutch. At this time, seeing that the Dutch were finished, they immediately changed their flags and flags, and submitted their sanctions to the Ming Dynasty, and did not dare to delay for a moment.

Zhu Jun was in a hurry to fight for the foundation of the country for the ministers these days. He originally promised to delay for half a year before the construction of the Chidao was completed before considering it. But he knew that these crazy ministers had obtained the approval letter. First, the Minister of Works submitted a letter to supervise the implementation of the projects in various provinces. The old guy was too tough and rode a fast horse and came back in a circle within a month. The governors of each province were seriously warned. If the construction period cannot be accelerated and the construction of the project is dared to delay the construction, it would be a ill-gotten attempt to destroy the emperor's birth of a dragon son and establish a crown prince. The emperor can spare you, the cabinet of Haidu City

The center, the six ministries and nine ministers will not let you have a good time. Then you clean your butts and prepare to wait for the Supervision Office. The Dali Temple will impeach you. The Ministry of Personnel’s examination department will not let you go. This year, your examination and evaluation will be the worst. The commander of the Beizhen Fushi also released the news. You must be careful that your house is covered with monsters. Even if you shit and don’t wipe your butt, you will have to check it out for you. Just consider it yourself. Just speed up the construction speed and work day and night. No matter how much money you have to add, the Minister of Revenue has already made a statement. How much is missing is paid. As long as you can finish the work quickly, it will be a great achievement.

It affects the career of the official career. The governors of various provinces naturally heard the implicit voice of Lord Shangshu. It was nothing more than a serious warning such as if you dare to fight against him today and let you be finished tomorrow. Therefore, the governors who were originally leisurely and leisurely rushed to the construction site, personally supervised and recruited the people's power in the province, split the mountains and build bridges, and built the prototype of the road within half a year. What we need to do now is to connect the roads in the province together to form a transportation network, and finally lead to Haidu.

Zhu Jun had made a statement before, and now it was time to make a promise. Now that Java is victorious and the wedding day is becoming more and more urgent. What Zhu Jun has to worry about now is the issue of the candidates for concubines.

Kinmen Island.

The wind was calm and the sea tide slowly rushed up the beach and gently slapped the coast. Since the Dutch Expeditionary Fleet had a feud with the Qing Dynasty, they were expelled to Kinmen by the Qing army in Taiwan, and the two islands of Xiamen were used as temporary bases. They harassed Taiwan and the southeast coast to coerce the Qing government to surrender and abide by the agreement reached by them with Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong.

The Dutch fleet had strong naval combat capabilities, but the level of land combat was low. The Qing army was all in cavalry and army. Therefore, the Dutch could only harass Taiwan and other places along the coast, but was reluctant to land and fight. The war entered a stalemate. The Dutch had no choice but to use the Qing Dynasty. However, they did not dare to be fooled by the Qing court. Therefore, this war without winning or losing will not be quelled.

Fleet commander Lieutenant General Ryan looked at the new report with a pale face. After reading it several times in a row, he had to accept the facts on the report.

In the command cabin, seven or eight captains sat on the long table. They sat upright and motionless. The blue eyes were swept towards their boss.

As early as two or three days ago, rumors spread to Kinmen Island in various versions. The officers scoffed at such news. There were five or six warships in Yagoda Port. There were countless fortifications and fortifications along the coast. Four thousand mercenary corps and nearly ten thousand native corps were guarded there. They did not believe that the Ming people could capture it within one day.

"Gentlemen." Major General Ryan pocketed the report. It took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence. He panickedly avoided the eyes projected on him. He said with all his strength: "Here. I have a message to be released."

The officers looked at each other in a look of each other, and they had an ominous premonition.

"Just half a month ago, our capital, Yagoda, fell. The Governor of Java, Mr. Hartling, the director of the company, and the officials in Yagoda City, all the senior management of the company were captured by the Ming army. In addition, we have nearly 3,000 Dutch soldiers and 27,000 expatriates from the European continent. His Excellency Hartling and Mr. Mohan have jointly signed a surrender statement to urge us to put down our weapons and surrender to the Ming army."

"What?" A lot of surprises suddenly came from the command cabin. A lieutenant colonel had already stood up and said, "Major General, is this news reliable? I think maybe this is an enemy's conspiracy? I will arrest the guy who delivered the letter for interrogation and see who was instructed by him."

"No need." Lieutenant General Ryan sat dejectedly on the chair, waved his hand with a dim expression: "I know the handwriting of the Governor. This letter was written to me by the Governor. He asked us to put down our weapons."

The command cabin suddenly became quiet, and everyone could only feel their heart beating constantly.

Surrender? Just kidding, the fleet has twenty-three warships and dozens of armed merchant ships of different sizes. The entire Expeditionary Legion has nearly 10,000 combatants, and other sailors and helmsmen, with such a powerful and comparable fleet that surrenders to the Ming people like this? This is simply nonsense.

What should we do next? The governor and the directors of the company fell into the hands of the Ming army, as well as the expatriates from European countries on the island. Most of the mercenaries of the East India Company are composed of mercenaries from various countries. Many of them work overseas for the company. If their relatives, wives and children are not doing well in Europe, they will also bring their relatives and friends here. Among the more than 20,000 expatriates, at least one-third of the families are related to the officers and soldiers of the fleet. Can the fleet not save them when they die?

Even if the fleet intends to return to the mainland and return to the Netherlands, regardless of the safety of their boss, governor and relatives and friends, how should we go back? Losing the fleet of base means losing the supply it deserves. To return to Europe, we must cross the South Ocean, cross the Strait of Malacca, and then enter the Atlantic Ocean. Such a long voyage will take at least two months. What should the fleet do?

Moreover, Nanyang has been controlled by the Ming army, and they have also controlled Malacca. If the fleet wants to go back, can it be guaranteed not to be discovered by the enemy? The fleet now has insufficient gunpowder and medical equipment. The fleet sent supplies to Java a few days ago, hoping that the Javanese authorities could transport several ships of supplies to solve the urgent problem. Now, it is no longer possible.

"Gentlemen, do you have anything to say?" Ryan looked at his subordinates, and he felt his back was soaked in cold sweat.

"I will never put down my weapons to the despicable Orientals, nor will I succumb to these yellow-skinned monkeys." A colonel stood up with a fist waving his fist.

The other officers nodded in agreement. One officer was pale and wanted to speak, but eventually swallowed the words back into his stomach. His mind was always coiled around his wife and two adorable daughters.

"So, how should we deal with the current dilemma?" After reaching a preliminary consensus, Major General Ryan restrained his complicated mood and asked everyone.
Chapter completed!
