A large number of Dutch people, including clerks and more than 100 children, walked out of the castle one after another. There were more than 1,100 people in the castle, a large number of guns, ammunition and living supplies, and water flowed in the castle. It can be said that it is not a problem for the Dutch to survive in the castle for more than one year.

But this is meaningless... Hutchison can already crush Dutch ships on the sea surface. The Dutch East India Company cannot send all its maritime forces here, and their local headquarters cannot increase the company's ships on the Asian sea surface on a large scale.

Now the Dutch are seeking independence and are going to war with the British. The first British-Dutch war has been over. The Dutch are unable to prevent them from suffering losses and are now planning to find the place. It is impossible to send a large fleet to Asia at this moment.

So Hutchison doesn't have to fight hard. Send thousands of people to dig long trenches around to trap these people. This will completely make them consume all their supplies in a year. At that time, they will come out to surrender. Could Hutchison accept it?

The elderly Governor Song Ke stepped out of the city of Relanzha surrounded by a large group of people. At the last moment, he turned around and looked at the castle behind him.

With a considerable determination, he spent a lot of manpower and material resources to transport a large amount of bricks and stones with ships, and also used the timber on the island to capture thousands of indigenous people. The big city that took a long time to build in the most suitable place will be changed from then on to the others.

The Dutch blue, white and red flag slowly descended and was put away by the soldiers amid the long sound of warlocks.

People's eyes were moist, and an unspeakable emotion enveloped the hearts of these colonists.

This national flag was designed decades ago when Prince Olenchi led the Dutch to fight for independence. After that, the Dutch boarded the colonists' clutches, from ordinary colonies to semi-independence, then to independence, and then became vassals, and finally gained independence... No matter how the domestic political landscape develops and changes, its pioneering and enterprising spirit at sea has never stopped.

By now, the Netherlands has become the strongest maritime force in Europe. In fact, it is stronger than the United Kingdom. However, the British are even more ruthless and cruel, and have unique advantages in island countries. This is why they won the first victory in the war against the Netherlands.

The Second British-Dutch War lasted for a long time, and Dutch warships rushed into the Thames River. The whole country was shocked. In the end, the Second British-Dutch War ended with the victory of the Netherlands.

This is an emerging, dynamic country with an extremely developed shipbuilding industry, overseas trade, and financial industry.

Due to opposition to the oppression of the Spanish and Portuguese, the political atmosphere in its country is relatively gentle and relaxed, the parliamentary system is developed, and the guilds in various industries are sound. This is an emerging country with vitality and future.

As a member of the Dutch, Song Ke's sadness at this time is certainly not fake. In this era of pioneering and enterprising Europeans, Song Ke said to everyone with a gloomy face: "When the Dutch flag was raised, I didn't expect to see it fall. I hope you work hard and no such embarrassing things will happen in the future."

Everyone was speechless, knowing that this was an old man's complaint.

The decision of Governor Cohen to withdraw the flag and leave the city was Governor Cohen, and he received the consent of all the senior executives of the company. Now it is useless to complain.

When the Dutch were sad, Hutchison would not give them enough time.

Is it interesting that the colonists pretend to be like this?

Li Shouxin sneered and looked at Lu Avenue standing not far away: "Sergeant Lu, immediately take your company into the castle and take over all defenses!"

"Yes, division commander!"

Lu Da's chest was straight, his face shining with joy!

What a glorious moment this was, and it was that Commander Li deliberately took care of him, the old man.

Lu Da’s family has been taken from Datong. At the beginning of the Hansheng plan, they will ask for the opinions of the evacuated personnel, and they can choose freely to go to relatives’ houses in other places to hide, to the grassland, or to Taiwan.

Lu Da's parents chose to settle down in the grassland, and both of them and Zhang Chunniu's parents chose to settle down in various castles in the grassland, because Lu Si had already settled in the grassland and took his wife to live with his parents.

I am missing from Taiwan because the old couple think it is too far away. I also heard that Taiwan is too hot in summer and I am afraid of the heat.

Lu Da's wife and children chose to live with Lu Da. After getting married, the two got together, but it was normal for Shanxi people to see it.

People who travel to business start a family and start a business at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and when they have their eldest son, they will go out again. The son may walk when they come back next time. A couple in their lifetime has 20 or 30 miles, and the time they meet for no more than two years is normal.

Originally, his wife almost didn't remember Lu Da's appearance, and the relationship between the couple was very dull. But after all, it was Lu Da's own choice. After arriving in Taiwan, the marching department assigned the couple a small courtyard to live in. The environment was good, the living was comfortable, and the living was convenient. Lu Da was also a company-level sergeant with status. After living for several months, the couple was already in a stalemate.

When Lu Da straightened his chest and accepted the military order, he glanced at the place where the family members gathered not far away.

Sure enough, he saw the whole family waving to him while holding his son. Lu Da's mouth twitched, and his chest was thrusting higher.

"Take our Hutchison military flag and raise it for me as soon as possible! Remember, you are not allowed to take a step back where the military flag is located!"

"Yes, division commander!"

When the last two sentences were answered, Li Shouxin roared, and Lu Da almost shouted out his throat.

That's it, the effect became. The soldiers who were ordered to step on their boots almost broke.

There were cheers and cheers everywhere, and the big man carrying the flag was almost stepping on cotton, and the joy and pride almost overflowed.

Song Ke and others all stepped on their faces, but no one paid attention to them.

If a thousand Dutch people really dare to turn against each other, there are at least three thousand soldiers carrying muskets here on guard, and dozens of cannons pushed over. If they really fight, the Dutch will be finished in one round of charge.

Li Shouxin clearly shows that he does not give face to the Dutch!

The two sides have been hostile for many years. Although they have signed a peace agreement, this is the result of the decision between Chang Zhengshi and the civil servants, and Lord Zhang Xuwen went to negotiate in person.

This should be a good thing. As a soldier, he will not interfere with the government affairs of civil servants. However, it is absolutely impossible to ask Li Shouxin and others to give the Dutch a good look.

The Dutch began to board the ship one after another. In addition to their own ships, Batavia also came to several merchant ships. More than a thousand people took small sampans to the merchant ships and warships. A few days ago, they had almost transported the supplies.

Jiang Kui, Li Shouxin and others shook hands with Song Ke and others and said their final farewell.

Song Ke suffered a loss and said with a stern face: "Please forgive me for what I said just now. However, since the Europeans began to sail, this is the first time we have given up the colony we have occupied."

"I don't quite understand this feeling." Li Shouxin smiled and said, "But think about the Spanish, maybe they don't have the chance to evacuate, but want to be buried in their colony."

Song Kezheng looked at the large number of soldiers in the port and the distance, and asked, "Are you going to go out?"

"Two groups in advance, and two groups will set out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Li Shouxin had a bright smile on his face, and the Dutchman opposite him looked even more ugly.

They know the training level of Hutchison soldiers. They can't beat gunpowder and bullets in a day in a month. In addition, they are physical training that is scary, various queues and technical and tactical training.

These colonists are said to be soldiers, but in fact, they are mostly ordinary people who come out to find opportunities to make money, most of them are farmers, craftsmen, and handicraftsmen. Few are pure soldiers.

There were very few purely professional soldiers in Europe in this era. Before this, professional soldiers were nobles and at least had to be knights. The risk of going to sea was extremely high. There would be no knights going to sea in this era, so of course there would be no professional soldiers.

Hutchison training, military discipline, and firearms were all seen by the Dutch, and they knew that the gap was far. This was also an important reason why Cohen and others quickly surrendered and reached an agreement.

It is impossible to fight at sea, but it can still make a fight. It is amazing to get a few more large warships from a domestic company, which involves a profit of at least three million taels a year. The company headquarters will also spend a lot of money.

But besides warships, at least 20,000 troops are required, and there is no such number in the Netherlands' standing army now.

When the Netherlands and France started war, the main force dispatched only more than 10,000 people and used more than 1,000 four-wheeled carriages to provide logistical assistance. It was a big shot in the moment, but it could not conceal the fact that it did not have a mainland army.

This is how Europe is, with many countries, scattered forces, and each has its own specialties.

For example, France, Prussia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Russia, and Duandian, are all traditional army powers.

Among them, France has many ports, long coastlines, and good naval traditions. Spain has made great sailing early and its naval power is very strong. However, the Spanish king insisted on acting as a protector of Catholicism and also wanted to establish a continental army. The Spanish phalanx was indeed rampant for a while, but it was soon hung up by a traditional army power like the French army. Not only in this era, but until the Napoleon era and World War II, Spain was insole-level insole.

There is nothing to say about the Netherlands at sea. Now there is only the United Kingdom, but it is not enough to have a mainland army. Even Spain is not as good as its level.

However, traditional army powers, such as Germany and other countries, cannot be raised at all. Even if the national strength is strong, Germany's desperate efforts to build ships after industrialization are still far worse than Britain.

The foundation cannot be caught up with one or two moves, and this is especially true in the sailing era. Sailors, shipbuilding experience, design, and artillery casting, these things are really not something that can be caught up with one or two moves.

For Song Ke and others, it is still possible to imagine that the battleship duel is winning, but if you fantasize that the army sent from China to start a war with Hutchison in Taiwan, I am afraid that even if you think about it, you will feel crazy.

The Netherlands is not without threats, so how could it be possible to send all the standing troops to East Asia?

And shortly after the Peace of War signed the peace agreement, the army was about to set out for Luzon.

At this moment, Song Ke didn't know if he was gloating or feeling sad?

Looking at the large strands of regular Chinese soldiers wearing blue military uniforms, the colonists were incredibly complicated at this moment.

In terms of hatred, the Dutch must hate the Spanish more, but in terms of feelings, they are all Europeans and colonists from afar.

Hutchison's army of ten thousand people landed and was covered by strong warships. The Spaniards were definitely not opponents, both at sea and on land. It is conceivable that the news of Manila's fall came half a month later. Thousands of Spanish, missionaries, traders, residents, clerks, families, sailors, officers, colonial officials, and few of them, except for women and children, would probably have a good ending.

"This is a journey of revenge." Li Shouxin took two steps back and added with satisfaction: "Respond to swords with swords, and respond to blood with blood."

Song Ke said with a pale face: "I hope you don't do it too much."
