Under the bright moonlight, a small boat quietly sailed into the port of Batavia.

The sailor who was raising the boat looked like an old fisherman. Although he looked nervous, four big words were marked on his body - I have a problem, the boat still arrived at the Batavia Pier safely.

The Batavia Pier is located at the mouth of the Chilion River, the main river in Batavia. It is a very old pier.

It was originally named Sailing Pier. From the 13th to the 16th century, Sailing Pier has always been the main marina of the Sunda Kingdom. Together with Aceh Pier and Bengalsar Pier were one of the few marinas that had contact with Europe at that time, mainly used for the trade of pepper and spices.

In 1522 of the Western calendar, the Kingdom of Sunda and the Portuguese signed a political and economic agreement with the Portuguese to allow them to trade freely in the port. Taking this opportunity, many Portuguese settled here. In 1527, the indigenous forces defeated the Portuguese fleet and recovered Sunda Galaba, renamed it Chayagarda, which means "the city of victory" and "the fortress of glory". The name of "Jakarta" evolved from this.

But seventy years later, the Dutch completely suppressed the resistance of the local indigenous people and changed Jakarta to "Batavia". The sailing pier was also renamed "Batavia Pier". Until the Dutch established the new Tanjung Bru Pier in the 19th century, the sailing pier was always the main pier in Batavia.

Now Zhao Liang could clearly see that a fourth-level warship and a fifth-level warship were obviously smaller than a fourth-level warship and larger than the multiple sloop warships next to it, so it was naturally a fifth-level warship.

According to the confessions of captured Dutch soldiers, most of Batavia's merchant ships have set sail and returned.

In addition to the four merchant ships captured in Lion Island, Batavia has two merchant ships left. There are even fewer warships.

In addition to the escaped fourth-class warship and a six-class warship, Batavia has one fourth-class ship, one fifth-class ship, and two six-class ships.

After several battles with the British, the merchant ships of the Dutch East India Company were really suffering heavy losses.

The reason why there is only a little left in regular warships is purely because the company is weak in the battleships.

In the previous series of battles, except for the loss of a fifth-level ship in the Battle of Badong, the combat effectiveness of the Batavian fleet was basically maintained. Because they were not the opponent, they directly retreated into the Batavian port, and the British obviously were not prepared to truly occupy Batavia, so they just blocked it.

The Batavian fleet itself remains intact.

In this way, although the Dutch's merchant ship power was negligible, Zhao Liang calculated their warships and still felt a sigh of "a lean camel is bigger than a horse".

Two fourth-class ships, one fifth-class ship, and three sixth-class ships.

If he really had such strength, it would be enough for his Red Singles to drink a pot of it.

So it is very necessary to do external tricks.

After thinking about the two strategies of sending people to infiltrate the anchorage to sabotage and doing sabotage alone, Zhao Liang decisively chose the latter.

He took two red single boats and then set off again, and also brought a fisherman of Chinese descent.

This is the person who took the initiative to surrender during the construction of Zhaojiagang, Shizizhou.

Although the Dutch implemented the Kabitan policy in Nanyang, giving some Chinese judicial power to handle civil and criminal cases on their own, and economically, they also gave taxes or business officials with salt fields and other privileges, which created an illusion that wealthy Chinese were "exploiters" and "price-controllers". However, the Dutch were the "protectors" of the indigenous people. They sow discord, which led to a strong hostility towards the Chinese.

But there are still many natives who are close to the Chinese.

There are many cases of marriage between the two parties, although they are all lower classes.

This fisherman is a mixed-race man, and a mixed-race man who can speak Cantonese, so he successfully integrated into Zhaojiagang.

He is also a navigator in the fishing team because he is an old fisherman and knows where there are many fish.

"As long as you told me."

Zhao Liang gave an order and slid into the water quietly. He didn't expect the old fishermen to do anything to help him.

Just stay in the pile of fishing boats outside the battleship anchorage.

When he gets things done, it will naturally send a signal.

The sea water is not bone-chilling and cold. It is tropical here. Even if it is three feet behind the snow in the Central Plains, it still has a single coat.

Zhao Liang has a very good water quality.

His physical strength and physical strength are very strong, and when he slides, he is even more like a flying fish than Phelps.

If you weren't afraid that someone would be discovered when the movements were too big, Zhao Liang just needed to take out a surfboard, lie on it, and slide his arms and it was really possible that a white mark could be pulled out from behind his butt.

I don’t know how far I dived out in one breath, but I quietly floated up to take a breath, and it was more about observing the anchorage. Otherwise, he just needed to enter the space and could breathe, right?

Nothing can be seen.

Although the moonlight tonight is very bright, it is dark. You can see the direction of the anchorage from afar and the berthing warships, but you can't see the others clearly.

"Go for a trip!"

These two words flashed through Zhao Liang's mind.

Then he swam to the anchorage and to the edge of the largest fourth-class ship.

This is a complete fourth-class ship, not the one outside Zhaojiagang, but should be the flagship Noble of the Batavian squadron.

The sharp short knife that had not appeared for a long time has once again shown its face.

Just like cutting tofu, a big hole was cut near the water line of the boat. A large powder pack containing fifty kilograms of medicine powder was stuffed into it.

If it wasn't that it was too mysterious, Zhao Liang was completely sure that all the ships were sunk without realizing it.

You should know that at this time, the European sailing warships did not have watertight cabins.

The latter is also a technology unique to China. We know that at the end of this century, British talents used this technology on sail warships.

This means that Zhao Liang only needs to cut the bottoms of warships with a short knife, and they will undoubtedly sink.

Because it is dark now, even if someone on the boat is on the night, it is impossible to discover it in time and then block the gap.

But although this behavior is awesome, it is also too awesome.

Batavia is not a closed port? Every year when the winter wind blows, many Chinese merchant ships arrive here, and then they return to China when the summer monsoon prevails.

Even the sailors on these merchant ships were Chen Peisheng and Chen Ken's brothers recruited sailors for the Dutch.

So if Chinese businessmen hear about this kind of thing, will they not contact the Emperor Han? Will they not contact the grain that sank on the Grand Canal a few years ago?

This is impossible.

There are so many people, one person can’t think of, two people can’t think of, and it’s impossible for everyone to think of?

Therefore, Zhao Liang had to use a medicine powder pack to commit the crime, which seemed to be traceable and was much worse than that of the Emperor Han.

While filling the medicinal bag, Zhao Liang also glanced at the shore. The city of Batavia, standing on both sides of the estuary of the Chilion River, is truly a carefully built nest by the Dutch. It is surrounded by a circle of Lengbao of different sizes. It is from the sea on the left to the sea on the right, covering the entire city tightly.

He had reason to believe that such meticulous protective measures were definitely not only on this side of the sea, but also on the other three directions, and there must be castles.

Before coming to Batavia, he had heard of the protection of Batavia. He took out a lot of things from the captured Dutchman's mouth, and two soft eggs drew simple maps for him, but - it was better to see him than to hear it.

With so many bastions guarding the city, it is really difficult to eat this city in this era.

The buildings on both sides of the estuary of the Chilion River are blurred, and Zhao Liang can only vaguely see a contour, but he knows that there is a fish market and a carpenter's workshop on the left, and a residential area on the right, and there are two stone buildings with the "official" flavor in it, which are the tax and guards here.

Then there will be a circle of moats, and there will be a wall inside the moat, followed by a tower, and then a castle.

The city of Batavia is not something he can hope for now.

"Phhh!"

The waves came, and the sea water poured into Zhao Liang's long mouth, spitting out the sea water, and he simply stopped being distracted.

It is important to finish the work first.

Artin was asleep in the Governor's residence.

He had a little heat in the past two days and needed to drink two more cups at night to fall asleep smoothly.

So even though there was a thunder sounding outside, he just hummed twice and continued to sleep soundly.

Until he was awakened by the panicked guards.

"What did you say?"

Artin looked at the guard in disbelief. Is this man talking nonsense?

"Your Excellency, it exploded, and all the warships exploded inexplicably..."

The guard's expression was extremely panicked because he couldn't figure out why all the warships in the anchorage exploded. He just said excitedly, pointing his hand to the balcony.

The balcony of Artin's room can directly see the anchorage of the estuary dock.

He didn't bother to wear shoes, Altin jumped out of the bed like a needle and ran to the balcony barefoot.

However, before he could run to the balcony, his legs were weak.

Because the moon in the sky told him that there was no rain tonight.

So just now he thought it was the "red thunder" of "red thunder", so naturally it is not the real "red thunder".

A fourth-class ship, a fifth-class ship, two sixth-class ships and two merchant ships. In addition to the fourth-class ships and sixth-class ships that are still being repaired on the dock, all the maritime power of Batavia has now sunk at the anchorage of the estuary of the Chilion River.

The huge explosion instantly destroyed the wooden hull, and even the fourth-class ship with the largest tonnage could not withstand the explosion of 100 kilograms of medicine powder from near the waterline.

The orange-red explosion flame failed to blow the flagship of the Batavian squadron into two pieces in one fell swoop, but the huge gap was so exaggerated that it almost allowed an elephant to enter and exit easily. The rolling waves poured in instantly. Almost the moment the explosion flame disappeared, the fourth-class ship began to roll, and then it turned into the sea in less than a minute.

When Artin ran out, he could only see the other side of the flagship rising, and a piece of the ship exposed to the water. Soon even this piece was about to disappear.

As for the other ships, they were even more sunk and disappeared.

The same huge explosion power can not be blown up a fourth-class ship, but also a fifth-class and a sixth-class ship? It can be blown up two merchant ships?

In fact, the fifth-class ship only lasted for a few seconds more than the sixth-class ship.

The two merchant ships were completely blown up and felt that the two merchant ships had jumped from the water when they exploded, and then they were heavily "smashed" back into the water, instantly shattered and extremely scattered.

Artin looked foolishly at the empty anchorage, his whole body looked like his soul ascended to heaven, and he was completely autistic at this moment.

Just like the Qing Dynasty racked its brains and couldn't think of how the "unpredictable" methods of the Emperor Han were doing, Arting also turned to look for his head. Why was his fleet all over in the blink of an eye?
