1890 King of Southeast Asia

An hour after the battle, at 11:40, the gunfire on the fort gradually died down, and the Dutch regrouped. The battlefield was briefly quiet, and even the 150 and 203 guns stopped for a short time.

The two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they were all repairing and preparing for the next wave of decisive battle.

But tacit understanding is often used to break. In this strange silence, three small boats rushed into the port at a high speed of 12 knots, rushing straight towards the three yachts that wanted to approach the shore.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The 150mm naval gun of the South China Navy roared, and six water columns rose next to the yacht. Before, Zhao Jiaxing did not consciously attack the yacht, and the artillery also chased the warship, so that the yacht was miraculously unscathed in the rain of bullets.

Armstrong 150mm naval gun, firing rate 6\\/min, the three yachts that wanted to escape happily raised the white flag after the second round of shells exploded.

The current situation is that the remaining seven Dutch warships are in the southern part of the battlefield, the cruise ship is in the middle, and the South China warship is in the north. The firing range is blocked, and the repairs have not been completed, so rescue is impossible.

As for the big shots on the yacht, the two governors stayed indoors, and the mayors, military leaders, and fleet commanders were all playing dumb on the warships. Yes, the fleet commander was on the yacht and wanted to fight with the fleet, but the governor did not give a word, and the others were afraid that they would be fired upon if they raised the fleet flag, so the fleet commander could not get the command.

As for this wave of surrender, well, he was in the governor's room, discussing military strategy with the governor.

The decision maker of the surrender was a small official in Batavia, the kind who stuffed money on board.

The three warships pointed their cannons at the three cruise ships, slowly reversed, and slowly retreated to the port entrance.

At 12:10, the cruise ship had retreated hundreds of meters, and it would be escorted out of the port in another kilometer. The Dutch fleet finally took action.

Black smoke rose, and the acting flagship raised a new signal flag, "For the glory of the Royal Navy." (The Dutch Navy is also the Royal Netherlands Navy)

Even, the acting flagship lowered the muzzle and aimed at the cruise ship that was reversing, and finally raised it again and aimed at the turret.

The advantages of coastal defense guns over warships are: first, there is no tonnage limit, and heavier and larger guns can be placed; second, there are no waves, which makes it easier to aim; third, strong fortifications can be built (there was a twin-mounted 105 coastal defense gun on the Western Front during World War II, which could defend against direct attacks from 356 mm guns); fourth, it is the angle, and a specific angle will reduce the probability of being hit.

At 12:20, the fleet slowly accelerated. It was impossible to go faster. It was so wide, and the flow rate difference was too large, and the probability of warships colliding would increase.

At 12:25, 2.3 kilometers away from the turret, the bow turret of the Dutch Navy's acting flagship fired the first shot since the war began.

It also sounded the horn for the second half.

Boom! Boom!

The 203mm Krupp 1884 cannon that had been prepared long ago roared.

Two shells raised water columns around the Dutch flagship from the left and right, the closest one was only three meters, the warship shook, and the speed suddenly dropped. The water pressure and vibration generated by the close-range explosion crushed the underwater shell, and the flying shell fragments hit a steam engine, causing a malfunction.

This seemed to be a signal, and various artillery roared again, but this was not the same as before. The Dutch fleet was in an awkward position and could not fight back.

Seven ships, more than 20 guns of various types with medium caliber and above, there were many more explosions on the gun platform, and nearly 200 medium caliber shells were thrown at the gun platform in ten minutes, and there were countless 37 guns.

The flying shrapnel caused considerable casualties to the South China Army.

Boom boom boom. The South China Navy also left the cover of the cruise ship and joined the battle.

Within ten minutes, the two cruisers were hit by dozens of shells, and the raging fire had set the entire ship on fire. The shallow-water heavy gunboat behind them wanted to come up, but was directly sent away by the coastal artillery and the twelve 150mm guns of the South China Navy.

The bombardment continued at 12:50.

The South China Navy had already lost its combat effectiveness in six unprotected or semi-protected gun positions and ten guns. The South China Navy warship was hit by a shell, but unfortunately it was a black powder charge, and the poor fuse failed to trigger and did not explode, causing only three injuries.

The Dutch Navy only had five ships left to move forward, and even so, all of them had bullet holes and flames that had not been extinguished in time.

The acting flagship had lowered the fleet flag and was organizing firefighting.

At one o'clock, the five ships had reached the entrance and exit of the port, and the speed had risen to eight knots. As long as they rushed out, they could at least run away with three ships. Zhao Jiaxing had no time to care about the warships that were extinguishing the fire, and ordered everyone to focus their fire and run in the front.

However, dreams must eventually wake up. The closer you are to the entrance and exit, the closer you are to the artillery platform.

The Krupp 203mm cannon roared, and a shell rushed straight into a 1,750-ton shallow-water heavy gunboat. The warship equipped with two 150 and one 210 guns made a huge explosion, and flames were everywhere.

The shells of the 1884-style 203mm cannon passed through four layers of defense and fell into the cabin just one wall away from the ammunition depot. The huge explosion tore through the defense of the No. 4 ammunition depot of the 210mm gun on the warship. The high temperature ignited the propellant, and the entire warship turned into a huge bomb.

Boom!

The huge shock wave pushed the nearby Dutch warships several meters away, and the various fragments of the flying scattered brought a huge blow to the friendly forces. The barrel of the 210mm artillery flew out, flew into the ship's ship island on the right, and there was no officer left on the right warship island.

In front of the port, the three South China Navy warships fought a few guns and ran, and then adjusted the angle a few times.

On the flagship, the Dutch Navy officer, Lieutenant Colonel Henrix watched the situation and sighed.

"The retreat has been blocked, why does Surabaya rebellion?"

"Flip, lower the navy flag and surrender."

After speaking, Herix seemed to lose his strength and returned to the captain's room.

wu ~~~

"Report! They surrendered!" A staff member observed the warship of Shengbaiqi and excitedly reported Zhao Jiaxing.

Zhao Jiaxing was staring at the remaining four ships in the center of the channel. Suddenly he heard this, turned around and saw that Baiqi was slowly rising.

"Okay! Don't control the ship, leave these ships first!"

But at this time, the remaining four ships heard the sound of whistle, saw the flagship (former) surrender, and also gave up the resistance and raised the white flag.

"Stop shooting!" The Zhao family said excitedly.

"Stop shooting ~" ~~

Through the phone, the turret stopped the firing quickly, but the shells were all in the cannon, targeting the Dutch warship. Once there was a dish, the shells will be launched.

However, the Dutch did not give artillery opportunities. Under the supervision of the three cautious South China warships, the Dutch began to extinguish the fire, and made a flag, requiring the South China Army to receive the warships, treat the wounded, and salvage the survivors.

Zhao Jiaxing was afraid to make a decision to accept surrender and was calling Liu Yiming.

"Accept their surrender and salvage the survivors by the way. After that, we announce the founding of the country, these people are still useful."

At 1 o'clock, the Dutch fleet raised the white flag to stop resisting.

At 1:20, dozens of guards boarded the Dutch warships. At the same time, the fleet that originally used to block the roadway became a salvage team. Essence

One warship escorted three cruise ships to enter the port first, and the other side of the port. Twenty mortars have been assumed that it has been several days here. The Dutch will not regret it suddenly.

A small team stepped forward to negotiate, the navy artillery pointed to the cruise ship, hundreds of guns in the rear coast defense pointed out, and the talents on the cruise ship slowly got off the ship.

"Throw the weapon on the left and register on the right side, name, family, occupation, position. After registration, wait in line!" A clerk said fluent Dutch.

"This is the sword that my grandfather passed to me, it is a decoration! Not a weapon!" A beard Dutch said, "Also, tell your commander out, he betrayed the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and he would pay the price, whether he was him, whether he was Still his family, even if I want to surrender, I should surrender to the rebels instead of a group of yellow skin monkeys!

The clerk frowned and was thinking about the crime of killing the captive.

Bang!

I just fell to the arrogant beard.

The crowd was a commotion, and the clerk immediately appeased.

"If you want to become this idiot on the ground, continue to keep your current state."

"I protest, we have the right to ask our legitimate rights and interests. We are nobles, officers, and have the right to wear swords and guns!" Someone in the crowd shouted.

"Yes! Tell your commander to come out, why? Don't a Dutch come out, just want to insult us like this?"

"Yes! For the glory of the nobles, I won't surrender to a group of monkeys!"

The clerk looked at the place where the gunfire came. He knew, he also took his class and heard his speech.

"Good commander!" The clerk was righteous.

"A little" Liu Yiming returned a gift.

"Bullets raised, raised the gun, aim!" Liu Yiming ordered.

The crowd suddenly calmed down.

"Don't be afraid of him, he is just a yellow -skinned monkey, he dare not shoot, otherwise his owner will kill him!" It was still the previous voice.

"The black suit red tie, yes, grab him out." Liu Yiming noticed this person long ago, but he said many words but just didn't get the head, and he always incited others. Such people were useless in the captives.

"Why? What are you doing? I am a Badavi tax officer, don't move me, dirty yellow skin monkey." This person is still arrogant. If he does not tremble, it may be more imposing.

"Are you a tax officer of Badavia?" Liu Yiming asked.

"Yes, my father is the Baron of Golzan, I am a nobleman, who is you behind you? Who launched this shameful rebellion?" The descendants of this Golzan were still barking.

Liu Yiming has been so nervous these days, and he has to show the appearance of his chest. Now he has been loosened by a heart, and even the possible threats have ignored it. In excitement, he grabbed a brick and passed on his face.

He roared at the same time.

"Did I tell you to speak? You's idiot, can't you see the current scene? Ah! How did you do the tax officer? Ah? What do I ask, what do you say, do you know! Ah? "

Seven or eight bricks were on his head, his face was blurred. The most pitiful thing was that he had not died, and he hadn't fainted, or he was woke up again.

"Huh ~" Liu Yiming was relieved, which was much more comfortable.

Looking at the people who were getting off the ship one after another, these people used to be high and mighty, but now they still couldn't see the situation clearly. It was ridiculous that they thought that the Sishui garrison had rebelled, especially since the yellow soldiers gave them evidence. Even the Dutch soldiers didn't dare to send them out to see us. They must have kept it a secret from the Dutch soldiers!

"Send a signal, and all the troops come over." Liu Yiming said to the clerk.

The green flare was launched, and hundreds of soldiers rushed out from all corners of the dock.

"Get on board and bring them all down." Liu Yiming ordered.

The soldiers rushed onto the three cruise ships in companies and platoons, escorting these people down one after another.

"Report, there are several cabins that don't open their doors, and it seems that some big shots live there!" A soldier reported.

"If they can't open, shoot. If they can't shoot, blow them up!" Liu Yiming deliberately said in Dutch.

"You can't do this. That's the governor, the king's representative. If you do this, you will regret it!" A very beautiful Dutch girl stood up and said.

"Yes, he is the king's representative, but he is your king, not mine. I am not afraid of your king, so..."

"I can." Liu Yiming said jokingly.

"Execute it." Liu Yiming's order was still translated by the clerk.

There was no explosion. As soon as the gunshots rang out, they obediently opened the door. Maybe some people in the Netherlands still remembered their past, but it was definitely not these people.

Looking at the several people escorted down, Liu Yiming couldn't recognize which one was the governor.

"Who is Governor Pinak? Who is the new governor? Sorry, the information is limited, I don't know the name of the new governor."

"Don't talk? It's okay, believe me, I will know, but by then, you, one, two, three... eight people, can only keep two governors, because you have caused me trouble, but the governor is useful to me, so the others have to pay the price for it."

"Take them all away, separate detention, find out who is the governor, and shoot the others."

No one moved, they obviously didn't want to believe it.

"Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Liu Yiming, Commander-in-Chief of the South China Army and Navy, and the highest military commander of Surabaya. What happened just now was not a rebellion, but an uprising, let's just say so." Liu Yiming said easily.

Liu Yiming turned around, took out the Colt pistol Charles gave him, and pointed it at the back of the head of the descendant of Golzan.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang.

Six bullets, empty the magazine.

"Wait, these two are the governors, I'm just a small clerk, it has nothing to do with me!" said a man in a suit.

"Oh? It seems that there are still people who know the current situation!"

"Okay, you will be treated preferentially, take him to Henry, and the others will be driven away."

Liu Yiming didn't have time to waste with them. The acting flagship was towed over. Lieutenant Colonel Henriques got off the ship and saw Liu Yiming surrounded by the crowd, as well as the Chinese soldiers around him.

"I am Liu Yiming, Commander-in-Chief of the South China Navy." Liu Yiming only mentioned the navy.

"I am Henriques, Henriques George Jensen, Captain of the Batavia, Captain of the Royal Netherlands Navy's Far East Fleet's Escort Fleet."

Henriques saw this and basically knew what was going on.

"I've always felt that there was something wrong with dealing with the Chinese in this way. Either suppress them or cooperate with them, but those masters are used to being arrogant."

"But to be honest, I didn't expect it to come so quickly and so violently." Henriques said.

"In fact, I didn't expect that if you hadn't promoted the riot again, I might have become a businessman or studied abroad? But there is no if. If I don't resist, I will be killed by the natives or you." Liu Yiming also said calmly.

"This is the opportunity given to me by your slow work efficiency. I was almost discovered several times, but you didn't pay attention. I don't know if you don't care or you are too arrogant, just like you never listen to the Chinese language."

"How will you deal with us?" Henriques couldn't deny it, and then asked.

"You? Or them?" Liu Yiming looked at Henriques, and then looked at the dignitaries who were escorted in line at the cruise ship.

"Are you going to separate us?" Henriques asked with a frown.

"Of course, you are soldiers, I must ensure that you will not have any inappropriate thoughts. For the safety of both sides, you will have a special prisoner-of-war camp. Of course, the specific construction needs to be done by you, and the tools and materials will be provided by us."

"And this group of people," Liu Yiming pointed at the group of Dutch dignitaries.

"They will be arranged in another location. Don't worry, I am not a barbarian and will not kill them. After the war, they will return to the Kingdom of the Netherlands in a civilized way."

Henriques recalled Liu Yiming's words, and his frown became tighter and tighter.

"Compared to this, I want to know more about what you want to do next."

"We are enemies, but it doesn't matter to tell you. From the time you entered the port, you can't change anything."

Henriques stared at Liu Yiming.

"When you left Semarang, an army of 5,000 people was approaching Semarang. Calculating the time, it should be coming soon." Liu Yiming said pretentiously.

Don't say it, this feeling is really good, no wonder everyone likes to pretend!

"That means you have people in Semarang and even Batavia!" Henriques was a little frustrated.

"I have another question, how did you conceal the fact that Surabaya has been occupied?" Henriques' eyes widened.

"It's simple, isn't it? Not all Dutch people are like you, remembering the word honor. Compared to these, they believe more in the real pound." Liu Yiming felt a little sorry for this man, a complete idealist, but the Netherlands was already corrupt.

"Okay, we've talked long enough, it's time to get down to business."

Henriques snorted, straightened his clothes, and said seriously.

"Lieutenant Colonel Henriques of the Royal Netherlands Navy is willing to lead his troops to surrender to you."

"I, the Commander-in-Chief of the South China Navy, Liu Yiming, accept your surrender." Liu Yiming said dangerously.

I thought to myself, it's so cool to pretend!

On October 27, 1890, at 1 p.m., Captain Henriques of the Batavia frigate, the flagship of the Dutch Navy Squadron, led his troops to surrender to the South China Navy.

On October 27, 1890, at 5 p.m., Liu Yiming, the Commander-in-Chief of the South China Army and Navy, accepted Henriques' surrender as the Commander-in-Chief of the South China Navy...
