The international situation is complicated. To sum it up, it can be summed up in just eight words: You fight yours, and I fight mine.
The red-haired barbarians and the local kings were fighting in Malajia, but the Ming army was moving towards its own goal.
At Huaying Port in Annan, Governor Zha Rulong held a wine bowl to pay homage to Annan Bo Yang Wu, Admiral Feng Anping, Commander-in-Chief Ma Xuansheng, Huang Zhao, Lieutenant General Zhang Jimin, etc., "I honor you all with a bowl, and wish Zuo the Ming Dynasty will last forever and promote the power of the emperor."
Thousands of miles away."
"Don't worry, Mr. Cha, we are going here to conquer a ten thousand-mile sea territory for the Ming Dynasty." Annanbo Yang Wu drank it all in one gulp, his beard fluttering in the wind with excitement. He was one of the first batch of heroes from the dragon, because he guarded Annan.
You can't win big battles, and you can't rise in the title of nobility. Now you finally have a place to use your skills and make contributions, now is the time!
One warship after another set sail, a total of 180 ships and 15,000 soldiers.
"The sea breeze is blowing, the waves are roaring. The loyal and brave soldiers are here, setting sail on the sea?? The bright Ming Dynasty is correcting the Yanhuang. All of us are united to protect our sea territory?? Charge! Charge! Charge! Fight to the death to go abroad for ten thousand years." I don't know who started it.
On top of his head, he sang the military song "Sea Wind Song" of the Ming Dynasty. One boat sang, and the other boats sang, until the sound shook the world, and the sun rose in the east.
The southern expedition army first passed through Wanli Shitang (Nansha Islands). According to the old emperor's imperial edict, the Ming Dynasty had built two small docks on Machi (Taiping Island) and Tiezhi (Zhongye Island) in Huangshan, but the scale was too small.
, cannot accommodate a large army.
Yang Wu ordered his men to rest for a while at Wanli Shitang and then continued southward. After replenishing fresh water and food at Sandakan Port in Johor and Sulu Port in Sulu, they arrived in Sulawesi on February 1, the 19th year of Guangwu's reign in the Ming Dynasty.
Island. This island has been named Fubo Island by Emperor Guangwu, who was very happy with his achievements.
??
On the beach in Baru City, outside the temporary Sultan's palace, there were crowds of sergeants from the Gowa Sultanate. After receiving a large amount of old equipment eliminated by the Ming Dynasty's army, Sultan Hasanuddin formed another 7,000-man army.
The army usually hides in the jungle, but now it's time to use force.
When they heard that the Sudan was going to be restored to the country, the people around them came in droves. The crowd became more and more focused, and soon it exceeded 10,000.
"Two years ago, the hateful Red Mao barbarians destroyed our country and took away the land left to us by our ancestors. Are you willing to follow me and take back the land of the Gowa people?" Hasanuddin shouted to the people.
"Go to Makassar, follow our Sultan to Makassar," someone among the people shouted, which gradually turned into a loud roar that resounded in the sky.
"Sudan, the red-haired barbarians are coming," the confidant general Palatogu reported in a low voice.
"Warriors, let the vengeful fury of the Gowa people engulf these devils!" Sultan Hasanuddin roared, leading 7,000 soldiers to kill the Dutch.
The noise in the palace was so great that it alerted the Dutch lieutenant Haveli who was monitoring the Sudan. He hurried over with ninety soldiers. As soon as he arrived, he encountered the revenge army of the Gowa people. Seven thousand versus ninety, Baru City
The battle ended quickly, with blood splattered on the battlefield by Lieutenant Haveli and his men.
The Gowa army took advantage of the situation and captured Maros, Sinjay and many other cities, and surrounded Makassar.
Batavia's army has been sent to Manlaga. There are not many native Dutch soldiers in the city. It will take time to recruit indigenous mercenaries. Governor Matsolko can't get reinforcements for a while. What's worse is that Admiral Si
Pillman was reporting on his duties in Batavia and was not in the city of Makassar. In just one month, the city was captured and Gowa was restored.
??
Yang Wucai didn't care so much. According to the agreement between the Ming Dynasty and the Gowa State, the two sides were bounded by Toaya to Ampibaku on land, and Togian Island was the boundary on the sea. The north belonged to Ming and the south belonged to Gowa.
.
Therefore, without further ado, he commanded his troops to seize the agreed-upon territory. He also ordered the navy commander Ma Xuansheng and his deputy Zhang Jimin to lead fifty ships to continue to the southeast and occupy Sura Island, Buru Island, and the previously acquired Jaku Island.
The islands are connected in a line.
Then there is the construction of military camps and seaports. Six hundred troops are stationed on Yaku Island, two thousand troops are stationed on Buru Island, one thousand four hundred troops are stationed on Sura Island, and the remaining eleven thousand troops are stationed in the northern part of Fubo Island. On the island
It has three seaports: Manado, Marisa and Togian.
Under construction, after receiving the decree of the old emperor, Fubo Province was established on the island, with the five prefectures of Manado, Marisa, Togian, Sura and Burulu, and the capital was Manado. In addition, the island of Yaco
The port is also directly managed by Fubo Province. Li Weizuo is the governor of Fubo, Zhang E is the chief envoy, and Wan Sida is the inspector.
On a whim, Zhu Hengjia even wanted to move 20,000 people to farm on the island. His second assistant, Su Guansheng, tried his best to persuade him, saying that Fubo Island was full of virgin forests, where would there be land for farming? The barbarian tribes in the mountains were probably not easy to deal with either.
It already costs a huge amount of money to feed more than 10,000 soldiers, and to add 20,000 civilians, where will the money come from?
As soon as the old emperor heard the word "silver", he immediately stopped and sent orders to Yang Wu, Li Weizuo, Zhang E, Wan Sida and others to quickly build the port, open a commercial port to collect taxes, and reduce financial pressure.
Expanding soil is not an easy task. As expected, Su Guansheng was right. The Minahasa and Toala people living in the vast mountains of Fubo Province refused to surrender. They organized guerrillas and harassed the Ming garrisons everywhere.<
/p>
Among the seven major races on the island, the other five are all in the area controlled by the Gowa Kingdom. Only the Minahasa and Toala people are in the area controlled by the Ming Dynasty.
The Minahasa people are different from other ethnic groups. They live around Manado, the capital of Fubo Province. They look like Westerners, with fair complexion, high nose bridge, protruding lips, wide distance between eyes, short and hard black hair, and tall stature.
Robust; the lifestyle is also European-style, with churches and schools in every village.
The Toala people are nomadic residents who live in seclusion in the jungle, also known as the Vedic people. They belong to the Vedic type of Australian race.
These indigenous tribes were once vassals of the Dutch. They helped the Dutch conquer the Gowa country, so they knew how to use guns and cannons. They were so elusive that after defeating the Ming army, they burrowed into the ravine, causing Yang Wu a headache.<
/p>
Just when he was worried about this matter, the old emperor sent him another helper, Ma Jixiang, the first governor of Fubo.
It turned out that Zhu Hengjia felt that the area around the Malaga Strait was an important trade route and there were many countries, so it was necessary to have a governor to guard it; Fubo Province was isolated overseas, and the governors were divided and ruled, so it was not easy to rebel; there was another reason, Ma Jixiang was trying to seize the door.
His attitude during the incident was ambiguous, and the old emperor was determined to retaliate for his anger. Although he was not punished at the time, he had to settle accounts in the future. Therefore, with a stroke of a pen, he was promoted openly and secretly, and was sent to Nanyang to enjoy the sea breeze.
Zhao Daxi was also appointed as the commander of Jinyi Guards, and Guo Lin was appointed as the commander of Jinyi Guards.
Of course, in public, Emperor Guangwu said that the situation in Fubo Province was complicated and could not be controlled by capable ministers like Ma Jixiang. In addition to giving him the power to control the garrison in the province, he was also responsible for managing the troops sent by the Ming Dynasty to the surrounding countries of Malajia.
Military advisors, including Chen Ze’s military advisory group.
