Chapter 562 Shelling Batavia
Batavia.
"I am God!"
Yang Feng, who was flew with a red cloak, stood at the head of the Weiyuan ship and raised his arms high, shouting the slogan of the second-tier junior high in an extremely exaggerated manner.
But at this moment he is really God.
At least for the sailors behind him and the representatives of the Chinese forces in the South China Sea, because in the bay in front of Yang Feng, meteors were constantly falling, and almost every meteor that fell happened to hit a Dutch warship. Then the terrifying flames exploded like a volcano eruption. The warships that roamed the sea made them tremble instantly turned into burning torches. In this instant, the Dutch East India fleet that had been rampant in the South China Sea for hundreds of years were destroyed. Thirty-two battleships, cruisers, frigates and armed merchant ships were destroyed under the meteor fire rain that seemed to be coming to heaven.
Because the one who came here to punish the Dutch was a real god.
"Long live the God Emperor!"
Xie Guifang kowtowed devoutly on the deck and said in a trembling voice.
"Long live the God Emperor!"
Hundreds beside him and behind him kowtowed devoutly on the deck at the same time, shouting and worshiping their gods, worshiping their faith, worshiping their leaders.
Of course, Yang Feng's pretentiousness ended here.
His gasoline is very precious. He only reserved a hundred tons in total. It has been used for nearly half of it. This is used to make trouble when necessary or to rescue urgently. Just as all the Dutch warships on the sea began to sink in the blazing flames, the Weiyuan battleship under his feet slowly passed through these spectacular torches, and soon put the distant city of Batavia in the range. Then Zeng Tao operated the giant cannon and slowly raised his head, aiming the muzzle at the famous fortress. Then, with the command to open fire, a forty-two-pound shell roared out from the flames and smoke of the muzzle. At the same time, the heavy shore defense cannon on the battalion of Batavia City also ejected flames.
"Overbial ability!"
Yang Feng sneered and posed.
Amid the fanatical cheers behind him, the four gasoline barrels falling from the sky easily solved these overestimated ants. The Weiyuan, who did not have to worry about the threat of heavy shore defense guns, continued to move forward. Three miles away from Batavia City, crossed the hull and opened the side gun door, and then ten twelve-pound rear-mounted rifled guns extended out of their muzzles.
The next moment, the flames shone in turn, and ten shells cut through the air...
"These villains!"
In front of the Governor's Mansion in Batavia, Elence, the Governor of the Dutch East India, said in grief.
Suddenly, a roar above his head, and he subconsciously raised his head. The exquisite marble carvings above his head suddenly turned into pieces, and countless gravels fell like shotguns. A civilian official could not dodge and was hit on his forehead by a piece of gravel. Then he screamed and fell down. The bounced shells hit the pool in the yard. A statue of a beautiful woman he bought for a high amount of money was immediately cut in half.
"Governor, their emperor can do magic in the east. This is not an exaggeration to escape responsibility. He really knows magic and we cannot defeat him."
The messenger before him said.
This poor guy not only had his ears cut, but his nose was cut, looking like Voldemort with no ears. Because Yang Feng personally treated him, his wounds healed perfectly, just like a deliberately plastic surgery, or it could be said that he looked extremely funny like an egg with red hair.
"Submit to a pirate, what about your sense of honor!"
Governor Ellens angrily rebuked.
As soon as he finished speaking, an even more terrifying shell whistled past, cutting off the brilliant spire of the church opposite. The spire fell in a scream below, smashing the believers in sorrow.
"Governor General, all he wants is that small island. At most, we must ensure that we do not attack the gold diggers protected by him in West Borneo. Although we have suffered some losses, they are not considered large. At least this loss is not worth mentioning than the complete paralysis of our trade with the Tatars. If we reject him, then we can only go around the Strait of Makassar in the future, and we cannot stop him from coming to bombard Batavia at any time, or even bombarding all our cities. Our losses will be even more incalculable. In addition, during my imprisonment by him, Woolf of the British East India Company went to me and asked me to tell the Governor General that this emperor is good for us, because his real target is the Tatars. If he attacks the north, it will definitely cause a large-scale war in China. At that time, we can sell all the old arms left over from the Napoleonic War to the Tatars, and we will definitely make a fortune."
Dandan said excitedly.
"I have ignored this issue!"
Governor Ellens immediately calmed down.
Obviously he also understood what Yang Feng could bring to them.
Yang Feng made three requirements: one is that the territory of the Anbuna Islands and several affiliated small archipelagos belongs to him, the second is that the West Borneo belongs to him, and the third is that the rights of Chinese people in the Dutch East India are guaranteed. The latter one is negligible. Here the Chinese are originally their allies, and this is not the Red Bowl period when the two sides compete for control. After the Red Bowl incident, they already understood that they could not play without the Chinese. So here they control the right to tax, and the Chinese are responsible for developing the economy and creating wealth for them to enjoy their benefits. The natives are responsible for being cattle and horses. This is already a principle and a common principle for all European colonists in Southeast Asia. As for Anbuna Island to Yang Feng, it is nothing more than collecting peppers several times a year to collect 2,400 capita taxes, but West Borneo is indeed quite painful.
After all, there are gold mines there, and the gold mines there produce the highest annual output of gold worth millions of rupiahs.
However, these golds are in the hands of major companies.
The Dutch colonial government really wanted to get all the gold, but the problem is that the tens of thousands of Chinese gold diggers there are not good at plagues. Although these guys are divided and infighting, they are really brave and good at fighting. They have been entangled with the Dutch colonists for nearly a hundred years, and the latter has always had no choice but to deal with them. Now, with Yang Feng, it is even more difficult to deal with. There is no need for Yang Feng to give those gold diggers thousands of rifled guns, so he really can't guarantee that he can beat them.
And as the British said, if this Emperor of the Ming Empire who had inexplicably emerged, if he went north to attack the Tatars, he would be a chance to make a fortune. Once China fell into a large-scale war, they could be an arms dealer. Thinking about the huge wealth in the hands of the Tatar Emperor, Erens felt that the golden light shone in front of him. This is an almost endless treasure house. Compared with this treasure house, the gold mine in West Borneo is really dull.
But……
Nothing but!
He raised his head and looked at the shells whizzing past his head without hesitation, "You are right, go out and have a peace talk immediately."
Well, it's mainly because he knows he has no other choice.
"Peace talk?"
Yang Feng looked at the return ball.
"Then let's talk. You guys are responsible for going to talk to them and adding all your requirements!"
He then said to Xie Guifang.
These people have been completely subdued by him, which also means that the major Chinese gold digging companies in West Borneo have invested in his subordinates. He even set up their own scope for these guys who have fought hard on the map. If they go back and negotiate with their people, Yang Feng will be appointed as officials to major companies. Anyway, he doesn't want anything from these people, and he doesn't even charge any tax. In fact, he will not collect any tax, and he will provide them with protection completely for free. However, he has to personally select a group of young and middle-aged people to be soldiers for him. At this time, there were tens of thousands of Chinese gold digging players in West Borneo who were used to fighting and killing. His request was that major companies gathered up to two thousand soldiers for him.
As for the sultans there...
If you clean up later, you will be a group of wasteful people who can't even beat major companies.
As for the Dayak headhunter in the jungle...
Try not to provoke him. By the way, even the Japanese army can be beaten out. Yang Feng is not interested in going deep into the jungle. As long as such headhunters do not come out to hunt the head, the best way to deal with it is to circle the reserve and fend for themselves. If they dare to come out to hunt the head, then leaving the jungle to protect them will seek death like a lion who has arrived in Antarctica.
In short, Yang Feng's first gunboat diplomacy ended perfectly like this. Representatives of the four major companies, including Xie Guifang, Dagang, Heshun and Sanzhaogou, began negotiations with Dandan, representing the Dutch East India Governor on the deck of the Weiyuan.
They are all very familiar with each other.
These gold diggers began to hunt gold in West Borneo in the mid-18th century, and were entangled with the Dutch who also coveted there for nearly a century. Of course, they knew how to break up with the Dutch. The latter gave up the two colonies of Sanfa and Pontianak. All the agreements signed by the two sides were invalidated. The agreements signed by the sultans of West Borneo and the Dutch were also invalidated. The Dutch completely withdrew from West Borneo and recognized that this land was the territory of the Ming Dynasty. In short, the four major companies completely got rid of the Netherlands and turned to the Ming Empire.
The Weiyuan Treaty was completed in duplicate and handed over to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire to stamp the jade seal, and then brought it to Batavia by Dandan and stamped by Governor Ellens on behalf of the Dutch government.
