Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 834, Shu King of Goa

In the West Tianzhu Goa area, at the mouth of the Zuari River, the Mormugao Bay here is one of the best natural ports on the entire South Asian subcontinent.

At the same time, the Goa region has the best sandy beaches in the world, and it is located in the tropics, so it is very humid and warm most of the year. In later generations, it is a famous beach resort in the world.

However, Zhu Binhan, King of Shu who was located in the Goa area at this time, did not have the slightest thought to appreciate the beautiful scenery here, and he was only in his twenties, but he was frowning.

The Portuguese blocked the mouth of the harbor and tried to sink all their ships. At the same time, on land, because they did not prepare enough in advance, they did not choose a good foothold after coming here.

The aborigines in the Goa area were also attacking Zhu Binhan's people on land, but fortunately, these aborigines had low combat power and did not pose any threat.

The real threat came from Portugal on the sea. More than a dozen Portuguese warships blocked the mouth of the Zuari River, making it impossible for him to communicate with the outside world.

"These hateful Portuguese are too deceitful. This place is not under the jurisdiction of the Guli Kingdom at all, but they are very domineering and say that this is their territory."

"It's just hateful, I'm not prepared enough, if there are a few warships of Ming Dynasty, see if I don't send you all to the sea."

Zhu Binhan was very angry.

Although he is not as ambitious as King Ning, he is still not content with being a pig in Daming, so he also organized people to go to sea, preparing to establish his own vassal state overseas.

When he was in Ceylon, he had already selected the Goa area.

The Goa region can be regarded as one of the best regions in the whole of West India. It has abundant rainfall, fertile land, and high-quality harbors and rivers. As long as it is well developed, it will definitely be a prosperous country.

And he has already found out clearly that the natives in the Goa area are very weak, so they hurried to the Goa area with their own people and boats.

It was also very smooth at the beginning, easily defeating the local aborigines and gaining a foothold here in the Goa area, but soon the Portuguese came.

The arrogant and domineering Portuguese couldn't tolerate someone seizing their territory at all, so they declared war on the king of Shu directly. Portugal's warships were very sharp, and although the king of Shu had ships, they were not warships.

Warships are very expensive, and the Ming court has extremely strict supervision on the sale and management of warships. Firstly, the King of Shu himself did not have enough funds, and secondly, he did not expect a naval battle. His own ships were also equipped with some artillery , not really a battleship.

In such a battle, the king of Shu suffered a disadvantage. Several ships were sunk by the Portuguese one after another, and the ships had to go upstream, and then relied on the forts built on the shore to prevent the Portuguese from attacking.

But going on like this is definitely not the way to go. The unprepared king of Shu is short of supplies here, so he needs to contact many commercial firms on Ceylon Island to let the commercial firms transport supplies here.

What's more, the Goa region wants to establish a colony and establish a vassal state. Without the supplies from Ming Dynasty, it will definitely not work. It's just that the port was blocked by the Portuguese. On land, the natives of the Goa region are also constantly launching attacks.

This made the life of King Shu very ugly.

"I don't know if Ding Kui has arrived in Ceylon~"

The only thing he can count on now is that Ding Kui can arrive at Ceylon Island as soon as possible. In this case, someone will come to help after receiving his distress message.

After all, he is also the prince of Daming. In Daming, he may be a pig raised in captivity, but when he goes overseas, his status is extremely noble, and the people of Daming must not let him die. Otherwise, if Emperor Hongzhi and the court blame him, Many business houses on this side of Ceylon have not had a good time.

Tian Huanggui, this is definitely not just shouting.

"My lord, the local aborigines are attacking us again."

At this time, Lu Li, the general under the king of Shu, hurried over and said.

"Kill me, kill them hard, these natives, if you don't kill them hard, they will really treat me as a Daming person and bully them."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Binhan immediately said.

"Yes~"

Upon hearing this, Lu Li hurriedly led the troops under King Shu's command to kill the natives.

The king of Shu came to West Tianzhu this time, not many people were brought with him, only more than [-] people, one thousand of them were the Shu army he trained in Nanyang, and the remaining one thousand followed the king of Shu. Shu people who migrated overseas.

Most of these Shu people used to be servants, servants, domestic servants, poor peasants, long-term workers and the like under the command of the King of Shu, and they were all from the Palace of the King of Shu.

The King of Shu promised them that when they go overseas and establish the Kingdom of Shu, all those who follow the King of Shu to go to sea will be able to obtain at least a thousand acres of fertile land.

Relying on such a trick, the King of Shu also brought out two thousand people. In addition, in the fiefdom of the King of Shu, his people are still recruiting people, and they will continue to bring people here.

Lu Li rode a war horse with more than [-] cavalry and [-] infantry to kill the natives in Goa. Although they had only trained for a short time, they were well equipped. These natives were thrown off their feet by the people who Lu Li had killed, and quickly withdrew.

On the waters outside the Zuari River, more than a dozen Portuguese warships are cruising on the sea.

On the battleship Rafael, the Portuguese aristocrat Vasco who was in charge of commanding the operation was also observing the situation on the side of the King of Shu on the Zuari River, and a team was trying to find an opportunity to completely defeat these Ming people.

"The artillery of the Ming people is too powerful. Our warships dare not approach the Zuari River at all. If we land, we will definitely suffer heavy losses."

Vasco shook his head helplessly. Portugal's strength in India is seriously insufficient. There are only more than [-] warships, and the total number of people does not exceed [-]. They have to divide their troops to garrison in Guli and send warships to blockade the Persian Gulf. and the Arabian Sea, patrolling vast areas.

If it is to deal with the local aborigines here in India, it is enough in front of them. The local aborigines have low combat power, and the key is that they are still very divided, and they can be easily disintegrated and defeated.

But dealing with the Ming people is far from enough.

The Ming people have powerful artillery, muskets, bows and arrows, armor, and cavalry, and they are also well-trained. They are extremely brave and experienced in combat. If they fight the Ming people to the end, they will only lose both sides in the end.

Just like the situation before him, if he was an aborigine, he would have sailed there long ago, first came to a fire attack, and then landed. With muskets clearing the way, bows and arrows, and swords, he would absolutely easily defeat the local aborigines.

But when they met the Ming people, the Ming people built a fort on a high place and directly blocked the river bay area with powerful artillery. The range of the Portuguese artillery was not so far, so they dared not go there at all.

Even if it passed, if they wanted to land, they would be attacked by the Ming people again. The firearms of the Ming people were more advanced than theirs, and their equipment was better, so they couldn't take advantage of it.

Now it can only be exhausted, exhaust the food of the Ming people, and then send people to contact the aboriginals on land to see if these aborigines can defeat the Ming people.

"The aboriginals are the aboriginals, and they will be defeated by such an easy shock from the Ming people."

Looking at the Goan natives who were easily defeated by the Ming people on the land, Vasco couldn't help shaking his head. There may be no hope for these natives.

"It's not good~ It's not good~"

At this time, the people under him hurried over and said.

"There are boats, many boats, the boats of the Ming people~"

The subordinate pointed to the direction of the open sea and said anxiously.

When Vasco heard this, he also hurriedly looked towards the direction of the open sea. He saw that between the sparkling light and the meeting of the water and the sky, there were faintly huge battleships coming towards him rapidly. Daming dragon flag is very eye-catching.

"Ready to fight!"

Vasco's face turned pale immediately, the speed of the Ming people's support must have been too fast, and this time there were dozens of warships, one after another, the size of which was extremely huge, and there were several rows of gun holes on both sides of the ship, and a series of cannons They have all stretched out to reveal the ferocious barrel.

"My lord~ my lord~"

"It's the battleship of our Daming~"

"It's the battleship of our Daming~"

At the same time, the people on the King of Shu's side also discovered the change in the sea, and when they saw it through the telescope, they immediately reported to the King of Shu's side in ecstasy.

"Haha, okay~"

When Zhu Binhan heard this, he jumped up happily.

Soon, the semaphore soldiers between the two sides began to spread the word across a long distance. The flags kept waving, and they immediately knew the situation of the other party.

"My lord, they are King Ning's men!"

Lu Li was a little surprised. He thought it would be from the Western United Trading Company, but he didn't expect it to be King Ning's.

"King Ning's men?"

The King of Shu was slightly taken aback, but soon smiled and said: "It doesn't matter who he is, as long as he is from our Daming. Now I want to see how these Portuguese block us."

"Pass down the order, attack me, attack these Portuguese from inside and outside, and send them all to the sea."

"Yes~"

Lu Li nodded quickly, and the boats moored here in the river bay also started to set sail, and the cannons were loaded onto the boats, ready to go out to sea and fight the Portuguese.

On top of the 'King Ning'.

"My lord, the situation of the King of Shu is not bad. They rely on artillery to block the river bend. The Portuguese can't do anything to them. Now the King of Shu is saying that they will attack these Portuguese with us inside and outside."

Dong Lin came to Ning Wang's side to report.

"Well, let's get ready to fight. After killing these Portuguese warships, we will go back and take Guli, and we will have our first overseas colony."

Ning Wang nodded and said vigorously.

Well, it seems pretty good to have a colony on the Tianzhu side.

　From now on, the whole world will be like Shu Kingdom, Ning Kingdom, Qin Kingdom, etc. It seems a bit chaotic~ Maybe all world wars will be civil wars in the future~
