Chapter 411 The End of the Nanyang Campaign (5)

During these days, the Seventh Army did not do nothing, just waited. On the one hand, it kept sending scouts to reconnaissance the terrain and arrangement of the camp of the Madalan Army; on the other hand, it also formulated detailed The plan determined the way of night attacks. Because through the scout report, Tian Chu learned that the Ma Dalan Army's garrison was very relaxed, so the night attack was indeed the best and most sudden method, and in order to ensure the success of the night attack. At the request of Tian Chu, Cheng Gang transferred a batch of thunder rockets from the Navy and drew them for use by the Seventh Army.

The Madalan Army was indeed unprepared for the night attack of the Chinese army. The Chinese Army took advantage of the darkness and touched five or six hundred meters away from the Madalan Army's camp, but was not discovered.

The Chinese army first used thunder rockets to attack the Madalan army's camp, and then bombarded with mortars. In the Madalan army's camp, a burst of explosions and flames were fired, while the Madalan soldiers There was no precaution at all. At this time, most soldiers were still sleeping, but they were attacked by the Chinese army. Many soldiers woke up from their sleep, but the camp was in chaos, and there were fires everywhere, and they were immediately inflated. , , hurriedly ran around, and many people didn't even have time to wear clothes, so they hurriedly ran out of the burning tent.

At this time, after the Chinese army launched more than ten rounds of artillery and thunder rockets, they immediately launched an attack on the large camp of the Madalan Army. This time, the Seventh Army was dispatched by the entire army, and one division and two brigades were all When he was involved in the battle, his strength was much stronger than the previous battle, and he did not only seize a little to attack, but divided his troops into three groups and attacked the horses and attacked the Lan camp.

At this time, the camp of Madalan Army had been in chaos, and of course it could not withstand the attack of the Chinese army. Therefore, the Chinese army successfully entered the camp of Madalan Army and launched a fierce attack on the soldiers of Madalan. attack.

Because it was fighting in the dark, the Chinese army rarely fired fire and even used grenades, mainly using bayonets. Now the soldiers of Ma Dalan have no intention of fighting and were killed by the Chinese army and were killed and killed by the Chinese army. Countless corpses were buried all over the camp, and the others had to retreat deep into the camp, and at the same time they spread the turmoil into the camp, and the Chinese army also expanded into the camp of the Madalan Army.

Fortunately, Aman Gurat I's main business was located in the central location of the camp, and it has not been attacked and robbed by the Chinese army yet. And at this time, Aman Gurat I was discussing war with the generals, so Before he could sleep, he reacted and hurriedly went out of the camp to command the resistance. At this time, the soldiers retreated to the central camp one after another. Armand Gulat I also tried his best to stop the soldiers' retreat, but this time The result was the same. No soldier listened to his greetings and in a blink of an eye, the central position was disrupted.

As the Chinese army shouted and killed, Aman Gulat I did not have the courage to fight the Chinese army on the back of the city, so he hurriedly evacuated the camp. As a result, this time Ma defeated Lan army again Once, he was defeated by the Chinese army and killed until dawn. The battle ended. Under the protection of several generals and guards of the Madalan Army, Arman Gurat I was killed and retreated for more than 40 times in one breath. Inside, this time there were only more than a thousand people left by his side.

In this battle, the Chinese army wiped out more than 20,000 Madalan's army and captured 10,000 Sheren. After a defeat, the remaining soldiers of Madalan's army were dispersed, and most of them scattered in birds and beasts. They fled home. After waiting for two days, Arman Gurat I only gathered more than 3,000 people.

At this time, Arman Gurat realized that the Chinese army was really not easy to mess with, so they did not dare to stay outside for a long time. They hurriedly retreated to the capital of Madalan, Kerta, but waited for Madalan to beat him. The army had just retreated to the city of Kerta. Before they could sit firmly, the Chinese army rushed to the city of Kerta.

The members of the Madalan royal family, court officials, and the priests of the temple were also panicked because there are only more than 3,000 soldiers in front of the city, and after two defeats, the Madalan soldiers had already passed. I fear the Chinese army like a tiger and dare not fight with the Chinese army at all.

At this point, Aman Gulat even regretted his intestines. If he knew that the Chinese army was so powerful, he would not have sent troops to be an enemy of the Chinese army, but it would be too late to regret it now. Therefore, Aman Gula Tel I also hurriedly discussed with the ministers, but there was no other way at this time, so I had to send people to Batavia to seek peace from the Chinese army, admitting that the Chinese army occupied Batavia City and inheriting the Netherlands in Java Island. All powers and some money can be paid to compensate the Chinese army for the losses.

Cheng Gang received the envoy of Madalan in the council hall in Batavia. However, if the conditions for the summons proposed by Madalan Sultanate were acceptable before the war began, it would be acceptable, but now the war has been completed. The Chinese army also won a complete victory, of course it was impossible to forget it so easy.

Cheng Gang first condemned the envoy severely. This time the Chinese army only sent troops to attack the Dutch colonists in Batavia, rather than the Massatis' Sultanate. This war was entirely unilaterally operated by the Massatis' Sultanate. The Sultanate of Madara must bear full responsibility. Therefore, the Sultanate of Madara must surrender unconditionally, surrender to China, regard China as its sovereign state, and open the gate of Kerta City to allow the Chinese army to enter. The city was stationed, and Sultan Arman Gurat I had to go to Batavia as a hostage. What should I do next, and I will wait for China's domestic disposal opinions.

After the conditions of the Chinese army reached the city of Kerta, Arman Gurat I and the ministers felt that it was too harsh, but now the situation is stronger than others. If you don't agree, you will suffer a catastrophe, although there are a few People shouted to resist to the end, but most people thought they should agree, so everyone discussed it and made two requests. One is that the Chinese army's troops stationed in Kerta City cannot exceed one thousand, and they cannot enter the royal palace. , the people in the city cannot be slandered; secondly, Sultan Amang Gulat I cannot be hostage in Batavia, but Wang Ji can be sent as hostage.

After receiving the reply from the Madalan Sultanate, Cheng Gang discussed with others and agreed to the conditions of the Madalan Sultanate. After all, the Madalan conditions did not require China to give in much, because they also made China. The army stationed troops in Kerta City, without entering the palace and not hindering the people, is also the discipline that the Chinese army should respect, and is actually no different from the requirements of the Chinese army; and it is reasonable to use the prince to exchange for the sultan as a hostage, after all Arman Gurat I was the leader of a country, and he always had to give him some face unless the Chinese army planned to destroy the Masanate of the Sultanate of Lan, but China did not have such plans yet, so it would not visit at this time. But Cheng Gang proposed another condition of paying additional information, that is, the Madara Sultanate must send a mission composed of important ministers, carry the letter of state and tribute, and return to China with the Chinese army's fleet, indicating that Madara Sultanate must The country regards China as its suzerain and surrenders to China.

It turned out that just two days ago, a fleet of ten ships from India was docked at the port of Batavia. It was led by Shi Lang and divided into two warships and eight merchant ships, including three British merchant ships. He is preparing to return to China to purchase goods and supplies, and to report to Shang Yi about the affairs of the Chinese West India Company over the past period of time and the process of occupying Ceylon this time.

The process of the Chinese-British Allied Forces capturing Ceylon is actually very simple, because Ceylon is located at the southernmost end of the Indian Peninsula, separated from the Pauk Strait, and the nearest sea is less than 100 kilometers away. It is also an important area of ​​the Indian Ocean. Its area is Sixty-five thousand square kilometers, about the size of two Taiwan islands, can produce a variety of tropical economic plants. Therefore, occupying Ceylon is also very important for China to consolidate its own interests in India.

After receiving the domestic notice, Zheng Chenggong immediately contacted the British East India Company to discuss the issue of sending troops. The British side stated that it could dispatch two warships, two hundred British soldiers and three hundred indigenous erotic soldiers to be responsible for logistics; the Chinese side Three warships, two ships transported, six hundred soldiers and four hundred logistics personnel were dispatched to attack Ceylon.

At this time, there were not many soldiers left by the Dutch East India Company in Ceylon, only eighty, and the other staff of the company were less than one hundred, and there were more than three hundred indigenous soldiers, but such troops were obviously It is too far from the Chinese-British Allied Forces, and the Netherlands did not build a stronghold similar to Batavia on Ceylon Island, but only built a small castle. Therefore, it could not resist the attack of the Chinese-British Allied Forces, and was eventually The Chinese and British Allied Forces fought in a desperate situation, with more than half of the casualties, while the remaining Dutch soldiers and staff of the Dutch East India Company could only put down their weapons and surrender. Ceylon Island was also occupied by the Chinese and British Allied Forces, and the Dutch East India Company stayed there. The materials, wealth and assets on Ceylon Island, including the entire Ceylon Island, were divided equally by both China and the UK.

Now there are two tribal countries on Ceylon Island, namely the Kingdom of Sinhalla and the Kingdom of Tamil, which are actually two ethnic groups. However, when China, Britain and the Netherlands fought, both countries were very wise to pretend not to be able to do anything It can be seen that when China and Britain define the sphere of influence of Ceylon, they also basically ignore these two countries.

After Ceylon was divided up by China and Britain, three years later, representatives of China and the Netherlands signed a peace treaty in Batavia, and the Dutch forces completely withdrew from Asia, only retaining one on Java Island can only conduct business. After losing one of the most important overseas colonies, Dutch merchant ships still sailed around the world, shuttled back and forth across the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans, the power of the Netherlands still declined greatly and was unable to do so in Europe. Britain competes.

Fifteen years later, in order to fight against the growing Chinese power in India, Britain re-established friendly relations with the Netherlands and helped the Netherlands re-establish colonies in India, but The Netherlands can only occupy the subordinate position of Britain. Therefore, in another time and space, the Netherlands, which should have been in a nearly 100-year-old glory, entered a period of decline early and soon became a second-rate European country.
