Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 427 Descendants of Ming Dynasty
This island of Java was entrusted to the British government, but the people from the British government and the local officials appointed by the imperial court are still unable to come.

Because they have just taken Batavia, and have not yet controlled the entire Nanyang.

At this moment, it is impossible for them to send the fleet back to pick up people.

Early the next morning, Taichang summoned the accompanying generals to the flagship.

He glanced around slightly, and then solemnly said: "I am determined to remember the meritorious service of the British Dukes in the past dynasties, to make Zhang Weixian a first-class British Duke, and to grant the original Java Island a British Commonwealth. From now on, Java Island will be renamed Daming British government."

My God, the British public line has developed now!

This British mansion is bigger than Wenguo mansion, and there are much more land suitable for farming than Wenguo mansion.

When all the generals heard this, they all looked at Zhang Zhiji with envy.

They don't have any objections, because the British Duke family has made outstanding achievements. If you remember the meritorious service, there is no problem with becoming a first-class Duke. What's more, the current princess is still the daughter of the British Duke. The public one can totally afford it.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Taichang couldn't help but nodded slightly, and then he waved his hand and said, "Go to the map."

Soon, Cao Huachun spread out the stronghold map seized from the Dutch on the large table in the middle of the meeting hall.

Taichang directly pointed to the two strongholds of Sanfoqi and Mantrijia on the map and briefly introduced: "This is the only way for European barbarians to enter Nanyang. As long as we take down Sanfoqi and Mantrijia, and then build With cities and fortresses blocking the strait in the middle, European barbarians basically cannot enter Nanyang."

This is a question of grand strategy.

The purpose of their expedition this time is not only to take down Batavia, but to regain control of the entire Southeast Asia, and all the generals here know this.

The entrance to the South China Sea is blocked, and it is indeed difficult for European barbarians to enter, unless they venture to go around the deep sea without any land or islands.

Originally, when the European barbarians first began to explore the sea lanes, they did pass through those sea areas.

However, no one is so stupid now.

Because there is no island or a piece of land for tens of thousands of miles in those sea areas. If you drive into it, you will basically be unable to get out.

In other words, as long as the waterway in the middle of Sanfoqi and Mancijia is blocked, Nanyang will basically belong to Ming Dynasty.

However, there seems to be a problem.

Sun Chuanting pointed to Luzon on the map and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, what about the Spaniards here?"

Taichang said lightly: "Let's not worry about this for now, because the rubber trees we planted have not started to produce rubber, and we have to buy rubber from them. Moreover, the Spanish governor Carlinio only wants to make money. Dare to go against Daming."

Well, leave him alone for now.

When Sun Chuanting heard the words, he couldn't help but nodded slightly to show his understanding.

Taichang then continued: "It's not too late to block the waterway. We will set off tomorrow to take down the three Buddhas and the Mansaka. Qin Yiming, you lead [-] Shenji Battalion infantry to guard here."

When Qin Yiming heard this, he couldn't help but secretly sighed.

There is no way, he made a great achievement yesterday, and I am afraid that the next chance to make a contribution will be given to others.

He could only cup his hands helplessly and said: "The final general will obey the order."

Taichang ordered again: "Bo Ya, the navy dispatched [-] Longya warships and [-] Spike warships to help defend here."

Sun Chuanting hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

On the morning of the third day, Taichang set off with more than [-] navy ships and [-] elite soldiers from the Shenji Battalion, heading straight for Srivijaya.

The Three Buddhas Qi State, in the South China Sea, is the hub of the various waterways, the East Borneo kingdoms, the great food kingdoms to the west, and the bordering countries, all of which enter the Central Plains through their borders.

The name of the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom actually originated from the Kingdom of Sri Buddha's Death in the Tang and Song Dynasties. However, the Kingdom of Sri Buddha's Death was destroyed by the Java State in the Yuan Dynasty.

The Kingdom of the Three Buddhas referred to in the Ming Dynasty is actually the new Kingdom of the Three Buddhas established by Liang Daoming, a man from the South China Sea of ​​the Ming Dynasty.

During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Liang Daoming, the king of the new Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom, even led his officials to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom has long been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that later on, because of the decline of Ming Dynasty, it was completely unable to control the countries in Southeast Asia. The Three Buddhas and Mansaka fought against each other, and Ming Dynasty was also unable to manage it.

In the end, the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom was destroyed by Mancijia, and Mancijia was also destroyed by Portugal and the Netherlands in Europe!

Looking at the relevant records seized from the Dutch, Taichang couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Alas, once the Ming Dynasty declines, the subjects of the country will not be able to live!
The Sanfoqi Kingdom is actually the Sumatra Island of later generations, and the old port of its capital city is only more than [-] miles away from Batavia, which can be reached in one day at the speed of a ship.

In the evening of that day, the huge fleet arrived at the old port stronghold marked by the Dutch on the map.

This is not Batavia, and the geographical location is not very important. At best, it is just an ordinary stronghold or an ordinary colony.

Therefore, the Dutch East India Company also built a small fort next to the port, with less than 500 mercenaries stationed inside.

Moreover, there are no warships here, just more than a dozen armed merchant ships.

As soon as the terrifying fleet of the Daming Navy flooded into the port, the Dutch were frightened.

What is this for?

We only have more than a dozen armed merchant ships, why are you putting up such a big battle?

The Dutch here don't know that Batavia has been captured by Ming Dynasty, because when Taichang led the army to attack Batavia, the entire port was tightly surrounded, and none of the Dutch ships escaped.

Taichang didn't even think about launching any sneak attack, because the East India Company only had so many warships and so few mercenaries in total.

Moreover, in the battle of Batavia, they have basically been wiped out. It is impossible for ordinary strongholds like Srivijaya to have too strong guards.

The same is true, the small fortress here is simply not comparable to Batavia.

He glanced at the small fortress in the setting sun, then looked at the terrified expression of the red-haired fan, and ordered decisively: "Send someone to take the letter of surrender and shout, let them open the city and surrender immediately."

Soon, a Spike warship came to the base of the fort with the military officer on board.

The general officer in the army shouted with a letter of surrender in his hand, and the Dutch inside really opened the city gate.

No way, they have no power to fight back!
If the densely packed buildings and gunboats opened fire, the entire fortress would probably be blasted to pieces.

It is indeed useful to have a strong force as a backing to surrender the book. At least, the Dutch in such a small stronghold dare not resist.

When they saw that the letter of surrender was written by the governor himself, they immediately surrendered!
The old land of the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom seems to have been taken down in this way, so what happened to the original subjects of the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom?
To be honest, Taichang didn't know either.

Because Daming hasn’t sent a fleet here for a long time, and the Dutch’s center of gravity is in Batavia and Java Island, they just wiped out the Manchuka defenders here, took down the port here, and There is no time to occupy the entire island.

You know, this Sumatra Island is not a small island, and its area even exceeds the sum of the four islands of Japan. It is basically impossible for the population of the Netherlands to completely occupy such a large area. They can completely occupy Java Island. Occupation is already very good.

Of course, Daming is different.

Sanfoqi was originally a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, and the king of the new Sanfoqi Kingdom is still a descendant of Ming Dynasty. Moreover, most of the subjects here migrated from the coastal areas of Daming. Manthorna was also wiped out by the Portuguese and the Dutch!
In other words, the civilians here should still be mainly the subjects of the Sanfoqi Kingdom, but I don't know how many people are left on the island.

Early the next morning, Taichang sent hundreds of Spike warships to search along the coast and the rivers on the island.

After half a day's work, the Spike warships sent out carried the excited Sanfoqi old people back to the port one after another.

Taichang saw the enthusiasm of those shabby-clothed people chatting with his soldiers on the port pier, and concluded that these people must be descendants of Ming Dynasty.

He simply took a group of generals off the flagship and came to the pier.

This time is incredible.

When those ordinary people heard that it was the emperor of Ming Dynasty, they all lay down on the ground and cried loudly.

What is going on here?
Taichang was a little confused.
