?In the fierce artillery battle, a gun tower in the city of Jelanzha was destroyed by the Chinese army, and 67 Dutch and indigenous soldiers in the city were injured, and more than 100 residents were injured. "《》 The Chinese army was also killed and killed by the Dutch army. Twelve artillery gates were destroyed, and fifty-three casualties were killed and injured.
However, the city of Relan Cha is much larger than Chichi City, and the thickness and solidity of the city wall are much stronger. Except for a gun tower that was destroyed, the overall damage of other parts is not large. Therefore, the bombardment ended. Afterwards, Zhang Lidong also decided to launch a blasting attack on Relanzha City tomorrow, and the Chinese army also prepared blasting vehicles and blasting teams overnight.
But that night, a missionary and a Dutch officer came from the city of Jelancha, demanding that they could negotiate with the Chinese army.
Generally, the Chinese army would not refuse negotiations, so Zhang Lidong also ordered them to enter the camp and see what they could say.
The Dutch officer who came to negotiate was Captain Aldop, and the missionary acted as a translator. After the two sides met, Zhang Lidong said: "The captain asked to see me, is there anything to say?"
Aldopp said: "In 1643, we reached an agreement with your country, and shared Taiwan, and we have been in peace in recent years. Why did your country start to incite war this time?"
Zhang Lidongdao: "Taiwan has been China's territory since ancient times. It was just temporarily borrowed from you to facilitate trade, but you did not care about the agreement reached with us and funded the Qing court to be enemies with us, which is naturally unforgivable. Therefore, we It was only when you wanted to take back Taiwan. Three months ago, we issued a notice to you that you were not leaving in Taiwan, so we sent troops to attack each other. This is clearly because your mistake was first, not us. Provoke a war.”
Aldop defended: "The dealings with the Qing court were made by the Dutch East India Company and had nothing to do with our Taiwanese officials. If you want to hold them accountable, you should go to Batavia."
Zhang Lidongxian laughed and said, "Don't the Taiwanese official belong to the Dutch East India Company?"
Aldop said in a moment, "We have already told the Batavian authorities about your request, believing that they are making a proper resolution, and hope that you can temporarily stop military operations and wait for Batavia. The authorities' handling decision."
Zhang Lidong said lightly: "No, what Batavia wants to deal with is your business. We have no obligation to wait. I only act on the orders of King Jingbei. Therefore, military operations cannot be stopped unless King Jingbei ordered them to stop. To march, of course, there is another situation where I have the right to decide to stop military operations.”
Aldopp hurriedly asked, "What's the situation?"
Zhang Lidong smiled and said, "You surrender."
Ah Dopp's face also became very ugly. In fact, he was just talking nonsense and didn't have much hope. However, Zhang Lidong ordered to surrender without hesitation, and he still felt a little embarrassed on his face, and he wanted to be hard. I have a few words of storytelling, but the current situation is stronger than others, and there is no hope for the battle.
At this time, Zhang Lidong said again: "If the captain has nothing to do, please come back. After dawn, we will launch an attack on the city of Relanzha again. I hope you can prepare for the battle."
Aldop smiled bitterly and said, "Well, we agree to hand over the city of Jelan Cha and evacuate from Taiwan, but you must ensure our lives, our weapons and private property, and provide us with enough ships. , allowing us to return to Batavia safely, as well as the fresh water, food and…”
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Lidong immediately interrupted: "No, it is not that you hand over the city of Relanzha, but that you surrender to us, hand over all the weapons, wealthy households, and accept our disposal. It is a surrender without any conditions.
”
Aldop couldn't help but blush and said, "This is too much, we cannot accept such conditions."
Zhang Lidong said sternly: "If you don't accept it, then go back and the war will start tomorrow."
Aldop almost wanted to get up and leave immediately, but when he thought that he had no chance of winning in the fight, he finally endured this breath and said, "Okay, I can report your request to the superior, but I hope you can
Give us three days to discuss.”
Zhang Lidong snorted and said, "Either fight or surrender. Is it necessary to discuss so long in one sentence? Give you a morning, tomorrow noon, and we will launch an attack without a reply.
"As he said, Zhang Lidong stood up and said, "Send the guests." The guards came over immediately, half-pulled and half-sending Aldop and the missionary, and took them out.
After Aldop returned to Jelandzha, Feerbger, Oward and several Dutch officers were waiting to listen to the news. Aldop also told the process of his negotiations with Zhang Lidong, and everyone was
I was speechless. From the bottom of my heart, of course, they were unwilling to accept such unconditional surrender, because every officer saved up some private money. If he surrendered unconditionally, his money would be lost, and he would also be his life.
Of course, it is unacceptable to hand it over to the Chinese army, but if you continue to fight, it is obvious that it is a dead end. Anyway, it is all dead, and perhaps even if you surrender, you can save your life. Wait until the Batavian authorities negotiate with China, saying that
Maybe there is still a day to go back.
Although this principle is good, the Dutch officers still feel that surrendering like this is too unreasonable. But if you want to defend the city of Jelanzha and fight to the death with the Chinese army, no one has the confidence to do so, it is not because they are afraid.
It would be worthless to die in Taiwan. If it were Spain or France, it might be the courage to fight for honor, but at this time the Netherlands was a purely commercial country, with officers and soldiers
They could fight for the Netherlands and their own freedom, but they did not have the belief that they sacrificed purely for the soldiers. Therefore, the officers were hesitant.
As a result, no one went to bed that night, and about a dozen people just sat there all night. After dawn, several people still stared at each other. Although two officers spoke about living and dying with Relanzha City, they were still passionate at first
But afterwards, I felt that my confidence was insufficient and my voice became smaller and smaller.
After sitting for a few more hours, someone finally couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep on the table. Felbger smiled bitterly and said to Oward: "Your Excellency, no matter what the final result is, I will be destined to be
The chief officer with the shortest lifespan is probably the shortest life of the colony."
Oward also smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency, when we decide to take risks in the East, we should have expected such a result. I am just unwilling to accept that if the board of directors' resolution can be more intelligent, this result will be
It can be avoided."
As the two were talking, a loud "boom" sound woke everyone who was sleeping. A soldier hurried into the conference room and said, "Report to the chief, the Chinese have launched an attack."
The two looked at each other and missed the last time.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Just after noon, the Chinese army immediately launched an attack on the city of Relanzha. More than 200 artillery pieces on the sea and land opened fire together, launching a new round of fire bombardment.
However, after only half an hour of bombardment this time, Zhang Lidong ordered a ground attack. The Chinese army soldiers rushed towards the walls of the city of Jelanzha under the cover of artillery fire. Dutch soldiers shot on the city, while the Chinese army was under the city.
When they shot and fired back, the two sides launched fierce muskets and fired fiercely.
As the muskets and cannons were bombarded, two blasting teams of the Chinese army pushed the blasting car and approached the city wall of the city of Jelanzha. Although the Dutch also discovered the blasting car of the Chinese army, the firepower of the two sides confronted each other at this time.
It was very intense, and the Dutch soldiers could not spend much energy to stop the Chinese army's blasting vehicles from rushing forward. Of course, the Dutch were not confused at this time. What was the Chinese army used to push these two vehicles? If it was
In siege, one is that the number of people is too small, and the other is that there is no ladder, so I relaxed some vigilance against the blasting car.
As a result, although two blasting team members were killed while the blasting vehicle was pushed closer, both blasting vehicles were pushed to the city of Relanzha.
"Boom-Boom-Boom-"
With two explosions far exceeding the roar of artillery, the entire city of Rhlanzha was trembling violently. Most of the Dutch soldiers defending on the city were unstable, and the city fell to a huge drop, with a few people.
They were even shocked and rolled down to the city. The large amount of choking smoke produced after the explosion almost covered the city of Relan Cha. However, there was a burst of cheers in the formation of the Chinese army to celebrate the successful blasting.
However, after the smoke of gunpowder was gone, the Chinese soldiers discovered that although the two blasts just now, a large pit with a depth of more than two meters and a depth of three or four feet was blown up on the wall of Relanzha City.
I saw the rammed earth exposed in the bricks, but I still failed to completely open the walls of Relanzha City. The two blasting vehicles, each loaded five hundred kilograms, about three hundred kilograms, and also
It can be seen how solid the city of Relan Cha is.
However, this situation is not uncommon for the Chinese army. When fighting with the Qing army, there were many situations where there was a need to continue blasting. Therefore, the Chinese army immediately sent two blasting vehicles to continue blasting.
Although the Dutch understood what this was and concentrated firepower to strike the blasting vehicle, the artillery could not hit the blasting vehicle and could only use muskets to strike. The blasting vehicle itself is protected by thick wood iron clips.
Muskets cannot stop the advancement of the blasting vehicle.
As a result, there were two loud noises. This time, the city of Relanzha could no longer hold on. After the explosion, the entire section of the city wall was blown down, revealing a large gap more than three meters wide.
