No one in the Northern Navy traveled south knew Dutch and German, so we couldn't tell the difference between the Dutch and the German mercenaries. In the eyes of the Sorens, anyone with a big nose and deep eye socket had to be killed. So Batavia first welcomed the Iron Fist of the Northern Navy and became the troops of the Cape Corps of the Württemberg.

Württemberg in another time and space is most famous for its wine, but at the end of the 18th century, the Dutch East India Company established the Württemberg Cape Corps, whose main station was Batavia.

Of course, the most famous mercenary in this year was the "Landsknechts" in the Hessen-Kassel region, which was a qualified war dealer. The most powerful thing Hessen did was that in the battle of the Austrian throne, he successfully provided mercenaries to both sides of the war.

Wang Yuanfang couldn't understand what the captured blonde and blue-eyed woman was saying at all. Anyway, what he said was definitely not English. He first asked someone to lock up the woman, and then said to Jiang Asheng: "You go back and find dozens of Chinese workers to come over."

Jiang Asheng was very angry and vomited by the bloody smell in the castle and said in horror: "Hello, are you?"

"Let them bring tools to help dig holes and dig trenches. I will give you five silver dollars for each person." Wang Yuanfang said and added: "Every time you find one, I will give you one more silver dollars. How about it?"

What are the 23-year-old Jiang Asheng and the Chinese workers from Fujian who are far away from home? Isn’t it just that Nanyang is full of gold and silver, so money is easy to make? Now that we have the opportunity to make a lot of money, even if it is dangerous, Nanyang is not a paradise. Not to mention that malaria may be able to take their lives one day, but the contracts and usury in the past few years have been suppressed by them.

Hearing Wang Yuanfang offered such attractive conditions, Jiang Asheng's eyes rolled, then wiped his mouth with his dirty sleeves, and bowed and said, "Good man, there is something a villain who doesn't know whether to say it or not."

"Tell me."

"As you said, it's nothing to find someone to dig a hole and dig a trenches. Everyone is used to working hard. But it's really not possible if you want them to deal with the Dutch government!"

"Haha, I won't let you charge and fight." Wang Yuanfang smiled and shook his head. Seeing Jiang Asheng still had doubts, he said, "If there are so many corpses, if they are not buried, they will not be able to stay here at noon. Besides, my soldiers must spare energy to deal with the Dutch. Do you think this is OK? I swear, if I let you Chinese workers fight to the Dutch, you will be hit by five thunders!"

Sure enough, the ancients believed this. When Jiang Asheng saw Wang Yuanfang, he said happily: "The hero can trust the villain, that villain will go there. Give the villain half an hour, oh, no, three incense sticks, the villain will find fifty people for you!"

"Take your sick companion here, maybe I can cure it."

"What? Hero, do you still understand medical skills?"

Wang Yuanfang nodded and instructed again: "When everyone comes, you can lead them one hundred steps away from the south wall, don't come in."

"The villain understands."

In order to make Jiang Asheng go back and forth faster, Wang Yuanfang also asked his subordinates to find a horse from the stable for him. The boy was eager to make money and didn't even want a saddle. He rushed up to the back of the horse and grabbed the reins with one hand and the mane with the other and left.

More than forty minutes later, Jiang Asheng, who was walking at the head of the team, was full of joy. The boy actually greeted more than 60 people to follow, and even the foreman in the cane garden followed after hearing the news.

The news brought back by Jiang Asheng was like a pie falling from the sky, and no one believed it at first. But when he showed the silver dollars given by Wang Yuanfang, several Chinese workers who had a good relationship with him were shocked. So when the news reached other sheds, everyone couldn't sit still and wanted to come and take a look.

Along the way, Jiang Asheng looked left and right from time to time, looking forward and back, for fear that one was missing. To him, each of these people meant a piece of white silver dollars!

"Asheng, you guy won't lie to us, are you? You really have five silver dollars to get when you arrive in Dingjiabao?" The person who spoke was an old Chinese worker in his fifties, carrying a hoe on his shoulder.

"Uncle Li, just put your heart in your stomach!"

Another Chinese worker said: "Xiao Jiang, the more I think about this, the more I feel it is like a storyteller. You can get five silver dollars by digging a hole and ditches? Can there be such a good thing in the world?"

Jiang Asheng glanced at the man disdainfully and said sarcastically: "Mama Bear, why do you still follow him if you don't believe it?"

"I..." The Chinese worker stubbornly said unconvincedly: "I'm afraid my brothers will be deceived, so I'm not at ease to come and take a look."

"Oh, don't mention five silver dollars, I'm content if I can give one."

Jiang Asheng turned around and looked at his companion lying on the horse's back, comforted him, "Baolin, it's almost here, you can bear it."

After saying that, he took out something more than two fingers wide from his arms and wrapped in fancy paper. Under the gaze of the Chinese man nicknamed "Macao Bear" and others around him, Jiang Asheng carefully uncovered the paper outside, and then peeled off a packaging similar to tin foil, revealing the black thing inside.

"What's this?"

Jiang Asheng ignored the person who was asking questions, and he broke a piece and put it into Zhong Baolin's mouth, whose face was pale. Zhong Baolin took a sip in a daze, feeling that there was an indescribable sweetness in the thing in his mouth, but he really couldn't tell what it felt.

"This is called chocolate, so sweet!" Jiang Asheng put the thing in his arms and explained to others. This thing was given to him by Wang Yuanfang before leaving, saying that he could be hungry. Jiang Asheng took a small bite and knew that it was a good thing.

A saliva surged in the throat of the big bear, and he couldn't help saying, "I don't believe it, can the black one be as sweet as sugar cane? I'll find out after I taste it."

The Chinese worker named Uncle Li scolded: "You are a bad boy, you are in your twenties. Are you a little promising? You are fighting for food with the patient."

The big bear blushed and said embarrassedly: "Try it..."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the days that followed, Xiao Xiongguan, nicknamed "Macao Bear", also joined the North Navy. When he first received this kind of thing as a supply, he realized that it was called "cream chocolate".

A group of ragged Chinese workers walked quickly, chattering while walking, both longing and worrying, and soon arrived outside the south wall of Dingjiabao. When everyone was still a hundred steps away from the outer wall of the castle, they became timid again. This was the territory of Dutch soldiers. Even if they were closer, they would be scolded and driven away by the soldiers on the wall.

Jiang Asheng asked everyone to wait outside the south wall, but he led his horse and the sick Zhong Baolin into the castle from the west gate to report to Wang Yuanfang. The soldiers in Soren Camp did not speak Minnan dialect, and it sounded like a book of heaven. Only Wang Yuanfang could communicate normally with Jiang Asheng.

Wang Yuanfang first asked the medical staff to treat the Chinese worker named Zhong Baolin, and then asked Jiang Asheng how many Chinese workers brought. Then he ordered his subordinates to bring a cloth bag filled with dozens of silver dollars and said to Jiang Asheng: "Everyone will give one piece first, and then give the rest. Your share will be given to you in the end."

It’s not that he wanted to take Jiang Asheng, but he brought 100 silver dollars when he set off, and the rest could only be returned to the Thunder. Although some were seized after capturing Dinkland Castle, the problem is that the Dutch guil silver coins issued by the Dutch people are completely different from those of the North Sea silver coins, and it will definitely be troublesome to give them together.

After Jiang Asheng hurriedly thanked, Wang Yuanfang explained to him what he wanted to do. It turned out that he wanted to dig two large pits ten meters long, two meters wide and two meters deep in the open space outside the south wall to bury the body.

The Chinese workers outside the castle were very happy after getting the money. It turned out that there was a good thing about pies falling from the sky. They soon became busy at Jiang Asheng's instructions.

At 5:50 in the morning, the Thor, which was in preparation for war, was extremely busy. When the anchor was raised, the roar of the bow hoist broke the calm on the sea. The muzzles of the two cannons on the deck were quickly raised, and the several heavy machine gun positions on both sides of the ship were also filled with double-layer sandbags used as bunkers.

At 6 o'clock, Deng Fei in the cockpit issued a bombardment order through the radio. The body of the 122mm howitzer was about to beat back, but was immediately grabbed by two steel cables as thick as fingers. Almost as the deafening sound of the cannon sounded, two explosions of flames rose in the castle on the east bank of the Gillion River.

The North Navy's attack on Batavia began.

The Chinese workers brought by Jiang Asheng were all frightened when they heard the sound of cannons. They threw away their tools and wanted to run back, but when the two North Navy raised their guns and shot them into the sky, the sound of gunfire at a close scared these guys to kneel down again.

Jiang Asheng made up his mind, walked to his companions, and said with a loud voice: "Brothers! The one who sent us money is the heroes of Beihai Town! The big ship on the sea is theirs! To be honest, the Dutch in Dingjiabao has been killed by them!"

"ah?!!!"

In the castle, when Wang Yuanfang heard the rumbling cannon sound, he asked Wen Dai to take the German woman he had been captured to the stable, and said in English with a Northeastern accent: "Madam, I'll let you go back. War has nothing to do with women."

After saying that, he didn't care whether the other party understood or not, and handed the reins in his hand to the woman. The German woman was almost in her twenties and glared at Wang Yuanfang fiercely, took the reins with a little hesitation and got on the horse. In a blink of an eye, she left Dinklandburg and headed towards Batavia City.

The woman named Annat didn't know that she was let go because Wang Yuanfang planned. When she returned to Batavia with hatred to report the news, the German mercenaries of the Cape Corps of the Württemberg immediately became extremely angry. The Count led the team went to find Governor Altin, who planned to go out of the city to wipe out the bandits who killed his compatriots.

At this time, the city of Batavia was already panicked. The Dutch were in a mess by the North Navy's tacit battle early in the morning. No one expected that the cannons on the Seris boat could hit so far and their power was so huge. The other party was nearly six miles away from Batavia!

The artillery soldiers at the port and castle of Bacheng were already scared by the powerful explosion. Some people turned into ashes in the flames of the explosion, while others fled from the artillery position in a hurry. Seeing the carefully built Four-corner Castle gradually turned into gravel ruins in the huge explosion, Governor Altin, who was supported by his subordinates to escape from the Governor's Mansion, then he realized that the ultimatum in Beihai Town was not intimidation, but real.

"Shameless! The Seris are so shameless! How can they fight without pronouncement!"

In these days, Europeans still followed the hypocritical knightly morality and would always notify them before the war; the problem is that the North Navy is not used to their bad habits, and it is the same as the Russians, and the Dutch people.

Seeing the fortress built a hundred years ago collapsed in repeated bombings, Governor Altin and the members of the Parliament House who fled into the city hall knew they were defeated and were planning to surrender to the White Banner, the Earl of Württemberg came.

"Governor General, I have received a report that a group of bandits captured the Dinkland Fortress, and all my soldiers were slaughtered, and only one lady survived."

Arting and others were shocked again, bandits? Not long after, Annat, who was released by Wang Yuanfang, came to the city hall in a messy clothes, cried and told about his morning experience, and begged the Governor General to avenge her men and other dead soldiers.

The bigwigs of the East India Company in the city hall had already understood that this must have been done by the people of Beihai Town. When Artin learned that there were only a few dozen bandits attacking Dingjiabao, he thought to himself that I can't beat you at sea, and I can't deal with you on land?! He immediately ordered the Württemberg Cape Corps to launch a dispatch to retake the occupied Dinglan Castle.

At the same time, merchant ships anchored outside the port began to flee in all directions, far away from this sea area. Under the command of the commander, the "Oriental Treasure Fleet" of the Dutch East India Company raised sails and anchored, preparing to launch a counterattack against the Thor two miles away.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Half an hour later, the Thor's shelling of Batavia suddenly stopped and began to concentrate on dealing with the Dutch fleet. On land, a thousand German mercenaries lined up and walked out of the east gate with cheers from the citizens of the city. Behind them was a military army of servants composed of a thousand indigenous people.

However, no one could imagine that more than two hours later, the group of German mercenaries, who seemed to be very combative, were ambushed on the way to Dinkland Castle.

First, the Northern Navy, which was ambushing on both sides of the road, first used four machine guns to form cross fire, and suppressed the enemy three hundred meters away from the enemy so hard that it could not lift its head. Just as the Germans urged the 6-pound cannon to transport the 6-pound cannons from behind, two platoons of special operations battalions passed through the dense sugar cane forest, circled around the enemy's rear, and launched an attack.

After this battle, two thousand enemy troops who came out of Bacheng were killed and defeated, with corpses everywhere, and in the end, only more than two hundred people fled back to the city alive.

As for the treasure fleet that made the Dutch proud, three were sunk by Thor as soon as they came up with cannons, and the other ships were scared by heavy machine guns that were frantically firing on the deck. They either surrendered on the white flag or fled to Banten.

In the afternoon of the same day, as the shells on Thor fell into the city one after another, the desperate Governor Altin and the members of the Parliament House of Justice had to make a white flag on the damaged walls due to the serious casualties and injuries of the residents in the city.
