"You are their governor, will they surrender?"

surrender?

How could they surrender?

The people of Batavia Fortress will never surrender for women and children.

Cohen's mouth moved, obviously the answer was on his lips, but he didn't dare to say it.

If Batavia does not surrender, he will be completely useless.

He will die!

However, Cohen did not want to die.

silence.

Repressed.

It was as if a mountain had been crushed on Cohen's body, and his whole body gradually shook like chaff, and the cloth strips that had been randomly wrapped around the soles of his feet began to ooze blood again.

There was a ding sound.

Zhu Youchen raised the sword and looked at his clear face on the blade.

Although Junxiu's appearance remained unchanged, his black pupils seemed indifferent.

Even grim.

"I am changing the world, and the world is gradually changing me!!"

However, Zhu Youchen is happy to see such a change.

In this dark age of cannibalism, it is better to be a cannibal tiger than a docile sheep.

In an instant, Zhu Youchen's eyes flashed, and his originally expressionless expression became more and more indifferent. He squinted at Cohen who was on the ground, and waved directly at the long swordsman beside him, too lazy to say anything.

"Take it down, the flag will be sacrificed tomorrow!"

"promise!"

When Cohen heard this, his scalp exploded in shock. He has been in the East for so long and he knows what a sacrificial flag is.

"No, please Your Highness, I'm still useful, and..."

However, the two elite spear-throwing warriors standing behind him didn't care about his shouts at all, and their rough and powerful hands directly pressed Cohen's mouth, holding him and dragging him away.

Woohoo! ! !

Cohen struggled violently, but his feet kept staring at the ground, and tears of terror flowed out.

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·

But it couldn't change the ending at all, and could only watch Zhu Youchen in his vision getting farther and farther away from him.

Two long mud marks were left on the ground...

And right after Cohen was dragged away, spear-throwing warriors acting as scouts came to report.

"His Royal Highness, the city of Batavia has reduced the number of musketeer guards on the city wall. At the same time, it has increased the number of native servants on the city wall."

"For the time being, no obvious gaps have been found in the city, and there are no signs of new repairs on the walls of the fortress."

"The water in the moat has been drained by us, but the river bed is full of sharp wooden sticks."

The spear-throwing warrior knelt down on one knee and reported to Zhu Youchen. Naturally, they did not observe directly with the naked eye, but detected through the telescope seized by the navy.

Hearing this, Zhu Youchen waved his hand to signal him to continue the investigation, a cold look flashed in his eyes.

...... 0

There is no doubt that Batavia has made a choice.

They chose to fight.

"In this way, there is only one way to attack."

Although the Batavia Fortress is not easy to attack, it can only do so now.

Moreover, the opponent's experience in defending the city is also very rich, and there is no obvious loophole in the defense of the city.

Now there is an extra moat.

However, no matter how difficult it is to attack, Batavia must attack it.

After that, he can use Batavia as the center to build an exploration fleet to explore Australia in the southwestern waters.

With Australia, you can also own the whole world!

Thinking of this, Zhu Youchen immediately ordered to the people on the left and right: "Pass down the order, and before tomorrow, build a thousand wooden ladders to attack the city."

"promise!"

Soon, the two soldiers led away, and after a while, the whole camp became more and more busy.

Boom! ! !

Forty thousand soldiers rushed out from the besieged camps on all sides, and started cutting with more tools, knives and axes.

Click, click...

Hardwoods that had grown for at least several decades fell one by one.

As the ground trembled one after another, the dense forests around Batavia City disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Log after log was hauled back to camp, and soon became wooden ladders.

Amidst the clanging of swords and soldiers, the atmosphere of the battle became more and more intense, and it was destined to be a day and night of racing against time.

However, Zhu Youchen would not waste this day and night.

One day and one night is enough to make his existing strength stronger... Next.

Chapter 112

The people in the Batavia Fortress are busy preparing for war, but Zhu Youchen's eyes have temporarily looked at his entire territory from here.

[Ding, the virtual map has been unfolded. 】

In the room, Zhu Youchen was sitting on the seat, staring at the long table in front of him, but he was actually checking his own virtual map.

At this moment, Zhu Youchen became God's perspective, and became more aware of his strength and territory at the moment.

On the world map full of fog of war, only a small area in Nanyang was lit up.

Zhu Youchen's gaze moved downwards from Qiongzhou Island, passing Wanli Changsha, the entire territory of Kaliman Sultan Island, the northwest corner of Mindanao in Luzon, the southern part of Sumatra and the northern part of Java Island.

All occupied areas are now close to 80 square kilometers.

80 square kilometers, which is already the territory of a medium-sized empire.

And a country has always been the result of the joint efforts of several generations.

But this is the territory that Zhu Youchen has laid down in more than three months.

More than three months!

Zhu Youchen felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

But when he looked at the surrounding area shrouded in the fog of war, he immediately suppressed the joy in his heart.

"not enough!"

Not to mention compared with the whole world, but compared with Asia and even Ming Dynasty at the moment, his current territory is far inferior, even inferior to Tubo.

However, Zhu Youchen is full of confidence at this moment, and he has laid down such a large territory in more than three months.

"If there are another three months, my territory can be expanded at least three times."

Three times that is a territorial area of ​​at least 240 million square kilometers.

It seemed out of reach, but Zhu Youchen was astute in his heart.

"With the entire Java, Luzon, and Yizhou occupied by the Dutch, my territory will reach 270 million square kilometers."

And this is not counting Australia, which is just southeast of Indonesia.

Australia.

Australia!

That is a huge territory with a territory of more than 700 million.

Zhu Youchen is excited just by imagining such a huge territory, not to mention that Australia is not like an island country with natural defects like Java and Luzon.

That is enough to be called a continent, the abundance of resources and products is second only to the existence of the American continent.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youchen fixed his eyes on the lower right of the virtual map. Although it was covered by the fog of war, Zhu Youchen definitely knew it.

"Australia is there."

Only those who have seen a complete world map will know how close Australia is to Indonesia.

Almost right under the nose of Indonesia.

However, the world is such a miracle, and Australia is miraculous that it has not been discovered, or it has not been completely discovered.

In fact, Zhu Youchen didn't know that in 1606, that is, in the 34th year of Wanli, the Spanish navigator Torres had already discovered Australia.

It's just that they didn't fully understand the vastness of Australia at that time, so they missed such an opportunity in vain.

However, the news of the southern continent of "Australia" has gradually spread out.

Of course, Zhu Youchen still has a natural advantage. He clearly remembers the location of Australia, and as long as Java is completely won, he can start exploring immediately.

Thoughts diverged for a moment, Zhu Youchen's eyes still fell back to the territory he actually occupied at present.

He looked directly at Sumatra Island.

At this moment, the island is said to have occupied the south, but in fact it is only in the south, and Zhu Youchen's forces on the other side of the Indian Ocean have not yet been touched.

Even though the soldiers under his command were tough, they were still flesh and blood. Coupled with the intricate environment above, being able to occupy half of the southern area was enough to make people horrified.

At this moment, the Dutch navy was completely defeated, and Zhu Youchu could completely spread his power over.

"Jambi City mobilized [-] spear-throwing warriors to pay the natives to the north and reach the northern coast."

At this moment, apart from Ma Chen's [-] and Batavia's [-] spear-throwing fighters under his command, the remaining [-] spear-throwing fighters are stationed near Jambi City.

The transfer of [-] soldiers will not affect the defense of Zhanbei City, and it can continue to expand its power.

Zhanbei City will be one of Zhu Youchen's key cities in the future, which can completely block the Strait of Malacca.

After he stabilizes Nanyang, he can even collect taxes and obtain gold resources.

However, relying solely on soldiers is not enough.

So, Zhu Youchen immediately ordered to the system:

"System, Jambi City produces [-] farmers, and arranges them to follow in the footsteps of the soldiers and develop north along Jambi City."

[Ding, one hundred thousand farmers are producing...]

Food units began to be consumed crazily, but the total of 500 million food units was nothing to him at present.

On the virtual map, a famous farmer walked out of the center of the town, and then followed in the footsteps of the spear-throwing warriors towards the north of the island.

Seeing this, Zhu Youchen nodded with satisfaction. He can build more settlements based on the mills at any time according to the development progress of the farmers.

"System, order the peasants and soldiers to pay attention to excavating and collecting all the minerals as they march along the way..."

Zhu Youchen added that he needs gold, silver, copper, iron and aluminum for any minerals.

At this moment, he has entered a high-speed development mode, and it is estimated that the blacksmith shop, market, and stables in the game will appear soon.

These resources will be used accordingly.

[Ding, the corresponding order has been issued. 】

But Zhu Youchen didn't stop his planning, and continued to point his country on the virtual map with both hands.

Now that the whole of Java is about to be permanently occupied by him, Zhu Youchen also consciously controls the plundering of resources.

The farmers under his command, especially the deforestation of forest resources, are even worse than locusts.
