The Dutch army of three thousand people was driven out of the sea by the Ming army, which was only one-sixth of them, and was wiped out.

After hearing the news, Li Degong came to the scene of the incident and saw corpses floating in the sea, and fish were chewing on the bodies of these people from time to time. The seabirds were not willing to fall behind and swallowed their bodies into their stomachs and ate them.

Afterwards, he immediately led the Royal Guard Division to travel south day and night. Starting from February 9, the Royal Guard Division occupied all the strongholds set up by the Dutch in southwestern Borneo one by one, and used 105mm heavy artillery to shell out the Dutch fourth-class warship docked here and wanted to attack.

The fourth-class warship was named "Hedland", which was temporarily docked in Kumai City. As a result, it encountered a unit divided by the Royal Guard Division. After defeating a few Dutch Self-Defense Forces, the unit was bombarded by the warship and killed more than 20 people in one fell swoop.

Li Degong got angry at that time and transferred a 105mm heavy artillery, aiming it at the fourth-class warship, and then blasted violently.

The largest artillery on the fourth-class warship is the 18-pound cannon, with a range of only about three kilometers, but the range of the 105mm heavy cannon can reach more than 8 kilometers. The grenades can severely damage the wooden ship.

After several shellings between the two sides, the "Hedland" was hit by 12 grenades with 105mm heavy artillery and sank, and none of them survived.

By February 13, the entire Borneo was completely occupied by the Ming army.

Although the Dutch army was destroyed, their navy still did not suffer a devastating blow, and they could still effectively threaten the Ming Kingdom's shipping across the Southeast Asian region.

Huang Daisheng was the captain of a cargo ship. He was employed by the Nanyang Trading Company to buy various things on Java Island, and he was responsible for transporting these things back to Chengtian Mansion.

Since the Ming Dynasty conquered the Philippines, the Dutch East India colonies have strictly restricted the Ming Dynasty's merchant ships and withdrew very high taxes on the Ming Dynasty's merchant ships, hoping to use this to crack down on the Ming Dynasty's industry and commerce.

However, this method is nothing to the Ming Dynasty. When multiple negotiations were ineffective, the Ming Dynasty's trade volume for the Dutch East India colonies was greatly reduced, and the people who traded here were particularly bold and clever.

Huang Daisheng is such a person. Every time he loads goods in Batavia and returns to Chengtian Mansion, he will pick up the Dutch Navy's relaxed time, such as evenings or holidays. On February 10 this time, he ships all the goods on the ship during the day, and then prepares to drive the ship out at night.

Although there were Dutch patrol personnel in the port to check the in and out of the ship, if the ship had not been driven out at the specified time, they would even sink the ship, but under the bribery of Huang Daisheng's few taels of gold, they agreed to Huang Daisheng's drive the ship out the next day.

But at night, Huang Daisheng summoned all the personnel and set sail quietly.

By the time he woke up early the next day, the ship had already left the port, and Huang Daisheng had slowed down the speed of the ship, but he was still very cautious, for fear that the Dutch would suddenly catch up.

It was said that Cao Cao was here. As soon as the sun came out, Huang Daisheng saw a fourth-class warship with the Dutch flag in his telescope and quickly sailed towards his ship.

"Captain, it's not the Dutch who discovered us, right?" said the first mate next to Huang Daisheng.

"I don't know!" Huang Daisheng's heart was filled with fear and confusion at this time. He had obviously run so far, why did Dutch warships still appear?

Soon, the warship quickly chased after him. The Dutch sailors above whispered flags at Huang Daisheng's merchant ship and asked them to stop the ship to inspect.

Can Huang Daisheng stop there? He quickly let the sailors hang the sailors and accelerate the way when there is still wind.

The Netherlands' fourth-class warship, called the "Omaren", is equipped with 26 18-pound cannons, 16 12-pound cannons, and 12 6-pound cannons. It has very powerful firepower. If it gets close, it will definitely turn Huang Daisheng's merchant ship into a pile of broken wooden boards floating on the sea.

"Quick! Hurry! We must escape from their maximum range of artillery!" Huang Daisheng said anxiously. He had been dealing with the Dutch for so many years and had a lot of experience. Of course, he was very clear about how far the maximum range of artillery on these warships could be.

"yes!"

Although the sailors tried hard to control the sails and had already made the ship reach the maximum speed they could achieve, the fourth-class warship behind was still like a follower, getting closer and closer.

"boom!"

An 18-pound cannon on the "Omaren" suddenly fired, hitting Huang Daisheng's merchant ship, stirring up a very high column of water, which scared everyone on the merchant ship.

"Ship... Captain, what should we do?" the first mate asked in horror.

"What can I do? Let's run away!" Huang Daisheng yelled. He was also very scared now, afraid that the next shell would hit his merchant ship, and that his life would be lost.

But the weather was not good, and at this time the sun gradually rose, the wind on the sea became smaller and smaller, and the speed of the merchant ship was getting slower and slower.

"Captain, we are about to catch up with them!" On the "Omaren", he said to Captain Van Dimen.

"Let's go over and sink them for me! This Ming merchant ship must have an ulterior motive!" said Captain Fan Dimen.

"yes!"

The Omaren immediately leaned over and quickly approached the merchant ship with its streamlined hull.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The "Omaren" continued to fire one after another, and it became increasingly dense. As the distance between the two sides approached, the closer 12-pound cannons and 6-pound cannons also gradually opened fire.

Because the hit rate is not very high during the movement, no shell hit Huang Daisheng's merchant ship for the time being. However, when you see the splashes of water on the sea, you will know that his ship was sunk, which is sooner or later.

Suddenly, a shell flew directly over and flew towards the merchant ship.

"Boom!" The merchant ship was unscathed, but the "Omaren" behind the merchant ship ignited a fire, and a large piece of wood fell into the sea.

"Captain, look! The golden dragon flag on the yellow bottom! That is our naval flag! Our fleet is here to rescue us!" The first mate quickly looked towards the bow of the ship and saw eight battleships with the golden dragon flag on the yellow bottom, facing the two ships in a row.

"What a lucky thing! Our ship finally came to save us!" Huang Daisheng almost jumped up excitedly.
