- The cry of killing completely alarmed Governor Putmans.
The bad news shocked the Netherlands¡¯ top official stationed in Taiwan.
At first, I just thought it was another pirate attack, but I didn¡¯t expect that as time went by, this was not the case at all.
Reinforcements were sent out, commanded by Major Swede, but the eighty reinforcements led by the major were bombarded back by a burst of intense artillery fire when they reached Fort Mitte.
??Has Fort Miter been occupied by the enemy?
Immediately, news came one after another that upset Governor Putmans. What came was not pirates, but a large group of well-trained professional soldiers. They had large numbers of soldiers, cannons, and battleships.
Where is the powerful battleship "Hocktok"? Why didn't the "Hocktok" reinforce the city of Relanja in time after the enemy launched an attack?
Governor Putmans did not know that the "Hocktock" he was looking forward to had sunk to the bottom of the sea with the sailors on board.
With the situation between the enemy and ourselves unknown, Putmans made a correct decision:
??Stick to the line from the North Gate to Armandian Fort, concentrate a large amount of artillery fire on Fulixinlian Fort, cover the North Gate and Armandian Fort, and at the same time send additional soldiers to the observation tower to closely monitor the movement. Major Shi Weide was also appointed as commander-in-chief, responsible for resisting enemy attacks. He also hurriedly dispatched his subordinates and ordered Major Kalcha, who was suppressing the Taiwanese riot outside the city, to immediately lead his troops back for reinforcements.
Everything was arranged, but Governor Putmans didn¡¯t have much confidence.
The cry of killing rang out all night long. Everyone in the Netherlands in the city of Relandia panicked and ran into the inner city centered on the Governor's Office in large numbers.
The sky was dim and bright, and the shouting subsided a little. But this did not reassure Major Swede, who was commanding at the front. Standing on the Almude Fortress, he could even see the enemies who had invaded the city of Relanje.
The major quickly ordered the closure of the Armaudian castle. Those Dutch who had not yet had time to withdraw had no matter how much they begged outside, the major refused to open the castle.
His decision seems hard-hearted and unkind, but from the perspective of the security of the inner city, it is understandable. Once the castle is opened now, the enemy is likely to take advantage of the gap to get in.
There was a depressing situation coming from the lookout. Campbell's Fort Well, the bastion, and the Mitteburg have fallen successively, and even the flag of the Kingdom of the Netherlands has been pulled down.
The entire outer city has fallen into the hands of the attackers.
who is it? Who is attacking the city of Relanja? Who is so brave?
The entire attack plan was carried out too carefully, and the raid was launched on the Governor's birthday, after the grand banquet was over and everyone was exhausted.
In just one night, half of the outer city had fallen.
What a terrible attack!
From the observation deck, it can be clearly seen that the attackers who captured half of the outer city were not in a hurry to attack the inner city, but were cleaning the battlefield one by one to consolidate the victory they had already achieved.
This is not a pirate, absolutely not. The pirates who entered the city only burned, killed and looted, but the people on the opposite side were obviously professional soldiers. Major Swede quickly made his own judgment.
What happened next also verified Major Swede¡¯s judgment.
An enemy emissary appeared at the foot of the Almodian Castle and demanded to see Governor Putmans immediately.
Major Swede hesitated and ordered the man to put down the hanging basket. The man pulled the man down and quickly notified Governor Putmans.
"I am Duan San'er, the envoy sent by Master Ding Yunyi, the garrison of Penghu in the Ming Dynasty and the heroic cavalry officer."
As soon as the visitor spoke, Governor Putmans was immediately stunned.
The defense of Penghu in the Ming Dynasty, the heroic cavalry officer Ding Yunyi? Is it the Ding Yunyi who killed pirates one after another? The governor had heard of his reputation, but he would never have thought that it would be this person who attacked the city of Relanja.
He had also worried about this possibility, but his ally, Zheng Zhilong, who held most of the military power in Fujian, once told him with a slap on his chest. Absolutely nothing like this will happen.
But now something terrible has happened.
"I protest." Governor Putmans calmed down and waved his hands to express his inner dissatisfaction: "After the battle in Penghu, we demolished the fortress set up in Penghu and withdrew from Penghu. As a thank you, you Allow us to live in Taiwan. Now that you are brazenly attacking the city of Relancha, I must make the most solemn protest to your emperor and the governor of Fujian. I ask you to withdraw from the city of Relancha immediately and end this shameless aggression.path. "
"I'm just here to convey the wishes of our Lord Guard." Duan San'er said expressionlessly: "Our Lord Guard also guessed that you would say such a thing, so he specifically told me that Taiwan has always been the land of the Ming Dynasty, but it was just You stole it with despicable means. Yes, the court allows you to live here, but this does not mean that this is your legal land. Under your rule, the people of Taiwan are living in dire straits, and riots have become a serious threat to our Ming Dynasty. The interests of the DPRK. In view of this situation, our Penghu Navy has to fight bravely to regain our jurisdiction!¡±
Governor Putmans did not give up: "Is this what your guard Ding said?"
Duan San'er nodded: "Yes, every word is missed. He also told us that the so-called Relanzha City was built by you on the basis of Taiwan's 'Yi Kun Yu'. I, the Ming Dynasty, have never acknowledged it." its legality.¡±
Governor Putmans was stunned for a while: "What does Ding Yunyi want to do?"
Duan San'er said calmly: "We, Ding Guards, require you to open the inner city before noon today and surrender unconditionally. All the expenses of our Penghu Navy's expedition this time will be borne by you. On this basis, we will ensure that Relan Zhe The city protects the lives of all Dutch people and has appointed ships to transport you away from Taiwan.¡±
"Surrender? Taiwan immediately? This is impossible!" Putmans was obviously irritated by such a request: "As an employee of the East India Company and an officer of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, I will never agree to such an unreasonable request! "
"Really?" Duan Saner smiled: "Before noon, you must accept our request, otherwise, we will attack forcefully. We will not be responsible for any situation that occurs at that time!"
¡°I demand to see your Lord Zheng Zhilong immediately, immediately!¡± Governor Putmans shouted loudly.
Duan Saner looked at him: "The highest officer here now is Ding Yunyi and Ding Guard. If you want to see Lord Zheng, Lord Guard promises to see you soon after you surrender."
Seeing the stunned Putmans, Duan Saner said sympathetically: "You don't have much time left to think about it, Governor." - Didn't finish reading?
