The Sun Never Sets Great China

After getting the required information, Shi Lang waved to Zhao Zixuan and said, "Lieutenant General Zhao, go down and make arrangements first." After Zhao Zixuan went down, Shi Lang said to Hao Junjie and Liu Guoxuan, "You two generals, what should our army do next? Any suggestions?"

Hao Junjie said: "General, since there is a way to find out the internal situation in Malacca, whether our army is stationed here temporarily, it will not be too late to decide to act after we get the information."

"No." Liu Guoxuan immediately objected, "This place is nearly a thousand miles away from Malacca. It will take at least ten days for the information to arrive here. If Malacca cannot support it, it will be too late to regret."

Shi Lang nodded and said: "General Liu's words are also reasonable, but the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, we can't afford to stay here for more than ten days anyway." The three of them discussed in the room for a long time and made up their minds, and it was already evening , Huang Zongyan sent someone to report to Ma Shouying that all the supplies had been transported, and Shi Lang and the three left the quiet room.It was already dark at this time, except for the three personal soldiers, all the naval officers and soldiers returned to the ship again, Shi Lang and the three stayed in the City Lord's Mansion under Huang Zongyan's repeated invitation.

In the early morning of the next day, Shi Lang and others returned to their respective flagship warships. This huge mixed fleet sailed away from Priango's pier. Everything is back to normal.

The destination of this huge mixed fleet of the Chinese Empire is Borneo (Kalimantan Island). The nearest Borneo is only one day away from Malacca. It has a vast area and is the third largest island in the world, covering more than 70 square kilometers. , the only fly in the ointment is that it is sparsely populated, basically still in an undeveloped state, most of which are covered by virgin forests, and there is a dreadful savage aborigine living in the middle of the forest, and the savage aborigines are famous hunters Human-headed Dayaks.

Borneo was recorded in the documents of the Central Plains during the Jin Dynasty in ancient China. At that time, the monk Faxian obtained Buddhism from India. He passed through Nanyang on his way back to the Central Plains. Tonghang is also recorded in Liang Shu, but Borneo was called Boni, Poli, or Borneo at that time, and later evolved into Borneo, which is now commonly used as Brunei.

In the three dynasties of Liang, Sui, and Tang in the Central Plains, Boni sent messengers to pay tribute to China. This contact continued until the Song Dynasty. When Zheng He sailed to the West in the Ming Dynasty, the huge fleet of the Ming Dynasty passed through Borneo twice. Boni Island is a vassal state of Ming Dynasty.It was not until the arrival of the Portuguese that Boni Island severed its affiliation with Daming.

However, this island is too desolate, and there are barbaric indigenous Dayaks who specialize in headhunters on the island. For various reasons, the Portuguese did not pay attention to this place at all. Although they have occupied Malacca for more than 100 years, they are not willing to develop it. This big island is close at hand. When the number of Portuguese in Boni was the largest, there were only more than 100 Portuguese. At the beginning, only a few people were left as a symbolic occupation, while the rest of the island was blank.

This island is of no use to Westerners who are bent on pursuing large profits, but it is a treasure house for the Chinese Empire. Since Zhang Huahan issued a ban on logging in order to preserve the forest resources and environment of the Chinese Empire, with the Since the felling order was issued, the amount of timber felled in the Chinese Empire has been greatly reduced, but due to the reason for the construction of railways, the amount of timber used has increased greatly, and the price of timber has also risen accordingly.

As the price of domestic timber rises, a large amount of timber will naturally be transported from other regions. Now, a large amount of timber is shipped from various countries in the southeast peninsula to the Chinese Empire every day. However, although these timbers are much cheaper than those in the Chinese Empire, after all, they still need a lot of wood. The cost is small, and the rich timber resources on Borneo are a free fortune for the Chinese Empire. Many timber merchants have already set their sights on this place, but it is only because of the small number of Dutch garrisons that were later occupied and the island's vicious Many businessmen in the Chinese Empire had to hold back.

This time the Chinese Empire's army was dispatched, not only to find a base on the island and station it temporarily, but also to take this opportunity to simply include Borneo as part of the territory of the Chinese Empire.

The naval fleet of this route has long been familiar with. The huge mixed fleet sailed directly to Boni, the most lively place in Borneo. After sailing at sea for two days, the fleet had arrived at the port of Darussalam in Boni. The population is only over 3, and the capital Darussalam Port has a population of about [-], which is comparable to Priango in the Chinese Empire. Boni's water force has only a hundred fishing boats. I stayed here twice, and there is also a coast suitable for docking here, but it is possible to dock warships of the Chinese Empire.

At this time, the Sultan of Boni was Bolkiah, and he was terrified when he heard a group of warships approaching from the sea. The Portuguese army attacked Malacca occupied by the Netherlands, and then a large number of Dutch reinforcements sent the Portuguese army Boni also knew about the battle outside the city of Malacca. If the fleet that came was the second support army of the Portuguese, there is no doubt that Boni would have to be transferred from the Dutch to the Portuguese again. It’s nothing to just change the owner, but he turned to the Portuguese when the Portuguese occupied this place before, and he turned to the Dutch when the Dutch defeated the Portuguese. Either continue as sultan, or make more demanding demands.

Bolkiah, who was hesitant, was about to flee with his palace guards. The Portuguese dispatched hundreds of people when they conquered Boni last time, and the Spaniards sent more than 100 people when they conquered Boni. Now that the opponent has dispatched hundreds of giant warships, Bolkiah doesn't believe that the huge Portuguese army this time is just like the Portuguese last time, collecting a little tribute every year, and I am afraid that their appetite will greatly increase.

While fleeing, the guard’s report made him lose his mind. The flag on the battleship was not the flag of the Portuguese, but the flag of the Chinese Empire. He was no stranger to the Boni Kingdom of the Chinese Empire, to be exact, to the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains. Boni people also have a good impression and even a sense of belonging.

Boni Kingdom used to have a close relationship with Ming Dynasty. In the sixth year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty, the then king Manaragana, along with his queen and prince, and more than 150 people went to Yingtian Mansion to pay tribute to Ming Dynasty. After visiting Yingtian Mansion for more than a month, he unfortunately contracted an illness. Although he was carefully treated by the imperial doctor, he died in Yingtian due to his illness. the alien prince.

Although Manarakana died in Ming Dynasty, the exchanges between the two countries have not been cut off. The Subo Niqing produced by Boni contains several kinds of metals. There are dark blue or dark blue crystal spots, with a slight flash of metallic tin light, which has a unique charm.Later, the blue-and-white porcelain of official kilns in the Ming Dynasty was almost monopolized by this imported pomelo material. If the Portuguese and the Spaniards hadn’t broken this relationship by occupying this place back and forth, Boni might still be a vassal state of the Central Plains. Although the Central Plains has changed courts, Bo Erjiya estimated that Shangbang would not treat Bo Ni too much that day.

On the contrary, it would be a good thing if they could break away from the Dutch with the power of the Chinese Empire. At this time, the Dutch in Boni had already withdrawn to support Malacca because of the Portuguese attack on Malacca, but Bolkiah He didn't dare to really resist the Dutch. He heard that it was a huge warship of the Chinese Empire in the Central Plains. Bolkiah was a little happy, and hurriedly called his most trusted minister Mukhtadi into the palace and asked him to represent the Go welcome the arrival of the Chinese Imperial Fleet by yourself.

Mukhtadi's thoughts are not so optimistic, because he knows the policy of the Chinese Empire, those princes in South Asia can only be rich and not allowed to be vassals, but the huge fleet of the Chinese Empire is obviously not something Boni can resist Yes, even in the entire Southeast Asia, there is no country that can resist such a large fleet of warships. It would be better if he went to meet with the previous side to find out the purpose of the Chinese Empire, so he accepted Bolkiah's arrangement and hurried away from the palace pier.

When the Imperial Chinese fleet was several miles away from Boni's wharf, Boni's city defense army had already discovered countless warships emitting black smoke. Facing such a huge fleet group, all city defense army soldiers Their legs were trembling, but under the pressure of their duties, they still concentrated on the pier, but no one had the guts to really stop the soldiers of the Imperial Chinese Army from landing.

All the troops in Boni add up to less than 2000 people. They have already experienced the power of the Portuguese and Spaniards' cannons and muskets. They can't even beat hundreds of Portuguese, or even a hundred Dutch However, how dare they come to deal with the tens of thousands of troops of the Chinese Empire? The reason why they didn't all escape is because they came after all. After all, they came from the Central Plains Shangguo, which succeeded the Ming Dynasty. Afterwards, they didn't even dare to stay at the pier, and could only retreat step by step, as if they were on guard for the army of the Chinese Empire. Some of them had already made up their minds. He immediately dropped his weapon and fled.

When Mukhtadi arrived at the pier, dozens of warships from the mixed fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy had already docked, and thousands of naval troops were neatly lined up on the pier, each of them carrying a shiny black Ground rifles, the whole pier was filled with murderous intent.Seeing that the city defense army of his own country was at a loss, Mukhtadi was afraid of causing misunderstanding, so he hurriedly shouted all the soldiers of the city defense army back.

The soldiers of the city defense army were almost unable to support them. When they heard Mukhtadi conveying the order of Sudan, they were immediately amnesty. In a blink of an eye, the two thousand city defense troops left cleanly. Mukhtadi didn't know what to do with the army of the Chinese Empire. He tremblingly walked through the ranks of his own city defense army, and bravely walked towards the army of the Chinese Empire.

There are still dozens of steps away from the army of the Chinese Empire. Several soldiers in front have pointed their guns at Mukhtadi's chest. Mukhtadi clearly knows the power of this weapon. The Portuguese and the Spanish People conquered the country of Boni with muskets, and the Portuguese once went into the mountains to deal with the Dayaks. Even the bravest Dayaks could not resist the attack of bullets.

He hurriedly shouted: "Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand, all soldiers from the Celestial Dynasty, I am the minister of the Boni Kingdom, and I come to ask to see your highest officer." understood.

Mukhtadi's Chinese was passed on to him by his father, and he was mainly used to understand the books brought from the Central Plains. Unexpectedly, it has a more important use now.

Hearing Mukhtadi's words, several naval soldiers lowered their guns. Mukhtadi heaved a sigh of relief. At that time, the naval strength of the Ming Dynasty was obviously much weaker than the current huge fleet, but they did not commit any crime against Bo Niqiu, and even gave them countless rewards. Mukhtadi secretly prayed that this huge fleet would be able to Give them any rewards, just bless this fleet will be as safe as the Ming fleet more than 200 years ago.

"You wait!" After a soldier finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the pier, apparently promising to inform Mukhtadi.Shi Lang was still on the battleship behind, and the supreme commander on the pier was Liu Guoxuan. Hearing that the officials of the Boni people begged to see him, Liu Guoxuan immediately had someone bring him here.

Shi Lang, Liu Guoxuan, and Hao Junjie had already discussed how to deal with the Boni country when they were still in Pulian. To deal with the Boni country, the fleet that came this time can conquer it without using even one-tenth of its strength. , if the Boni people dare to resist, they can send thousands of people ashore with a bombardment, and it will be easy to take down Boni. Of course, it is best if Boni does not resist. There are few people in Borneo, and they still want to build a naval base here If there are too many casualties, it is not in the interests of the navy. As for how to occupy this place and what policies to implement, the military chairman Zhang Huahan will naturally come up with the charter, and it is not something they can consider .

Mukhtadi was quickly brought in front of Liu Guoxuan. Hearing that the other party's name was Liu Guoxuan instead of Shi Lang, the commander-in-chief of the Navy of the Chinese Empire, Mukhtadi couldn't help doubting whether he could be the master. The soldiers of the imperial navy didn't dare to ask questions, so they could only kneel down with a plop: "Mukhtadi, the little minister of Boni, knocked on the general of the Celestial Dynasty."

Seeing that the envoy sent by Boni was so respectful, Liu Guoxuan didn't want to be too rude, he said: "Well, your name is Mukhtadi, there is no need to be so polite, get up."

Mukhtadi hurriedly got up, thinking in his heart that the Celestial Dynasty is a state of etiquette and discussion. Perhaps the situation is really as the Sudan expected, and the Chinese army is just passing by.

"What about your sultan, why don't you come to welcome the army of the celestial dynasty?" Mukhtadi said cautiously with a smile: "Master General, His Majesty the Sultan is preparing a banquet in the palace to welcome the army of the celestial dynasty. If you don’t leave, please forgive me, General.”

Seeing that the Boni people were completely defenseless, Liu Guoxuan was overjoyed, but he said calmly, "That's it, then you can lead the way, and I'll pay a visit to your sultan."

Mukhtadi looked at the soldiers of the Chinese Empire and the Marine Corps who were still landing continuously. He felt a little uneasy in his heart and asked, "I don't know what the Celestial Army is doing here? If you need If a small country assists, the small country will definitely do its best."

Liu Guoxuan said without changing his expression: "Are you really going to try your best?" "Definitely, definitely." Seeing that the general's face remained unchanged, without a hint of a smile, and his tone seemed to be in a bad mood, Mukhtadi began to break out in a cold sweat.

"It's okay to tell you that Portugal is now a vassal state of the Chinese Empire. The Dutch occupied Malacca, which was once the Portuguese. Now the Portuguese are about to take back Malacca, but the Dutch refused to hand over Malacca and sent a large number of troops to surround it. Portuguese army, my dynasty will never allow other people to invade our vassal country, we are here to teach those foreign countries who dare to break ground on Tai Sui a lesson." In fact, Portugal did not establish a subordinate relationship with the Chinese Empire at all. Thoughts, let the Chinese Empire be their vassal country is not bad, but to deceive the minister of the Boni country to say that his country is powerful, it is good to scare him, although the Portuguese lost the Boni country, but the Boni country still knows the Portuguese It is so powerful that even the powerful Portuguese surrendered to the Chinese Empire, which shows that the Chinese Empire is already very powerful.

Perhaps because he saw the powerful force of countless huge ships emitting black smoke in the distance, Mukhtadi had no doubts about Liu Guoxuan's words. Instead, he was happy to hear the news. He smiled and said: "My lord, Although Boni is now a vassal state of the Dutch, although the Dutch defeated the Portuguese, the Portuguese are still our original suzerain country, and we are willing to become a vassal state of the Celestial Dynasty. .”

"There is no need to send troops, the army of the Celestial Dynasty can complete it, but the army is far away from the rear, and Boni needs to provide supplies."

Hearing Liu Guoxuan's words, Mukhtadi became embarrassed, looked at the seemingly endless army of the celestial dynasty, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with difficulty: "My lord, Boni is small and poor, and I may not be able to afford the army to consume for several days. .”

Liu Guoxuan's expression changed immediately when he heard his words, and he said with a cold face: "Why, just now you said to assist with all your strength, but in a blink of an eye you pushed back and forth. Could it be that you have different intentions?"

Mukhtadi was shocked, and knelt down again with a plop: "My lord, calm down! My lord, calm down! Naturally, Boni will do his best to assist the army of the Celestial Dynasty. I'm afraid I won't be able to provide much food and grass to delay the war. Only with a specific amount can a small envoy know the bottom line."
