Chapter 461: The Declaration of the Demonstrations

Ma Cheng smiled and said, "The Portuguese are now without fighting spirit and no reinforcements outside. It is time to buy Malacca."

Yuan Keli pondered for a moment, and suddenly said arrogantly: "Why don't you fight in one battle!"

Ma Cheng had long expected that he would ask this question, and smiled easily, "Mr. Yuan doesn't know that this Western tradition is the most important covenant. If the covenant is 10% good, it is difficult to repent. Now that the Portuguese are allies, the word "credit" is "two words"

I still have to talk about it. The Westerners call it the spirit of contract, so let’s follow the rules of the Westerners.”

Yuan Keli's eyes flashed and he laughed again: "Is the spirit of contract? This is fresh. If everyone talks about contracts, that's not bad."

The old and the young have formed a consensus on this point. The lean camel is bigger than a horse. The Portuguese, who was once the overlord of the sea, was born to Daming. It is difficult to offend these merchants too fiercely. With a group of Portuguese merchants

It is always easier to deal with and buy arms than to deal with a group of stubborn Spanish feudal bureaucrats. Two days later, Governor Ximang agreed to the proposal to sell Malacca, but the lion asked for a high price of 500,000 taels of silver.

Ma Cheng was unhappy and went to bargain in person, and finally set the price at 200,000 taels of silver.

It also put forward a condition that the Portuguese could not refuse, which could protect the Portuguese in Malacca City under the powerful wings of the Ming Dynasty. This was a condition that the Governor of Simao could not refuse. His two thousand soldiers had long been dismal and could not fight.

During the Dutch attack, in the fourth year of Chongzhen, the sign of the Ming Empire was still very loud.

Although the Ming Empire was in troubles internally and externally, it was a powerful old empire after all.

In Guangdong, the Taiwanese navy is still quite strong, and it is no problem to protect 12,000 Portuguese. After receiving the asylum of the Ming Dynasty, the Portuguese will settle in Guangdong. Two thousand Portuguese soldiers can choose to voluntarily join the Taiwan Town Army and become the Ming Dynasty.

Mercenaries can also choose to live a stable life. About half of the Portuguese soldiers entered the Taiwan Town Army and most of them joined the Navy, which made Yuan Keli overjoyed.

In this era, every Portuguese soldier was an excellent sailor, and there were few soldiers who did not know how to navigate. Or it could be said that these soldiers were sailors at their jobs. After occupying Malacca, they became professional soldiers. The addition of a thousand Portuguese sailors was extremely

The combat effectiveness of the Taiwan Navy was improved. The transaction was reached, and Governor Ximang, who had a huge sum of money in his arms, simply sold the Malacca fleet to the Taiwan Navy, and took the guards to the Jingfu to enjoy life.

In mid-June, Malacca.

The Taiwan Town Army quickly took over the defense of Malacca City. The Taiwan Navy, whose strength has increased, added four main sailing warships in one fell swoop, and the number of small warships reached 300. Vessels of various sizes and sizes were patrolling the Strait of Malacca, and the subsequent one

Wantai Town Army arrived in batches, quickly took over Malacca City, blocked the Strait of Malacca, and became the king of mountain on the spot, stopping passing merchant ships to collect tolls.

A Dutch fleet was cruising a hundred miles away for two days, but in the end he did not dare to offend the Ming army.

What a joke, twelve main sailing ships, three hundred warships of various types, and 15,000 soldiers. Such powerful force has completely broken the regional balance. The Dutch fleet is mainly armed merchant ships, although there are many

However, the soldiers were seriously insufficient and could not fight against the large number of well-trained Taiwanese town troops.

Yuan Keli went crazy once, personally served as the governor of Malacca and reported to the court, asking for a title.

After being stunned, Ma Cheng couldn't help laughing wildly. You can imagine that after receiving the memorial, Emperor Chongzhen, Wen Party and Donglin Party had ugly faces. Now he didn't care about the reaction of the court, and bought Malacca, Portuguese fleets, and stock weapons and ammunition.

After spending 500,000 taels of money, the three Taiwanese officials are now so poor that they are going to be pants. This huge amount is worth it. Ma Cheng proudly imagined how to write history in the future.

In June of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Liaodong Bema City took back Malacca, and the Ming Dynasty regained the strategic throat of the Strait of Malacca. Taking advantage of the Dutch's reaction and the madness of poverty, the Taiwan Town Army landed on the Indochina Peninsula in a fierce manner and began to burn all the way.

A colonial journey of killing and looting. Yang Tiansheng, who was a pioneer, led the elite troops of the Sixth Bing Town Army, and was unstoppable. He bypassed the strong Siam and took the royal city of Dongyu, Nanming.

At the same time, Yuan Keli wrote another letter to create momentum, listing the dark history of the Myanmar's Dongshu Dynasty numbing the Ming Dynasty's border.

Lord Yuan should pay attention to a master's reputation, and at the same time he slapped Emperor Chongzhen's face. He was as violent as ever, but he had to see how the emperor responded. Yuan Keli fabricated another proclamation of the siege, saying that Myanmar was originally a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

However, he did not think of the great grace of the emperor, and repeatedly invaded the territory, scolding the late hero of the Dongyu Dynasty, Mang Yinglong swept across the Indochina Peninsula and peeking into the north to see the various chieftains under the Ming Dynasty.

It was the late Jiajing Dynasty, and the government was in a sluggish state and had no time to take into account the situation of the affiliated areas of the Indochina Peninsula. Although Mang Yinglong suffered several setbacks, he was almost surrounded and annihilated during the third Northern Expedition. He persisted until the fourth Northern Expedition, but finally got what he wanted.

The Tusi area affiliated to the Ming Dynasty in northern Myanmar was annexed. When it arrived at the son of Mang Yinglong, Mang Yingli, the Dongshuo Dynasty became more powerful, almost spanning most of the Indochina Peninsula. Its military power was huge, and I wanted to take a glimpse of the border of Yunnan again.

Unfortunately, this time, the emperor has been replaced by the Emperor of the Wanli Shenzong.

In Yuan Keli's proclamation of the destruction of Emperor Wanli, the achievements of Emperor Shenzong Wanli were praised. However, during his reign, Emperor Wanli fought against Korea in the east to pacify Japan's elite warring states for a century, and the tribes of Liaodong and Mongolia were unable to invade. They went west to operate the Hehuang line of Qinghai to Hami, sweeping across the line.

In Haixi and Mongolia, they won three victories in Huangzhong, and looked around the four fields of the Ming Empire, just like the prosperous Kaiyuan period in the Tang Dynasty, no one could defeat them.

At that time, the Burmese Lord Mang Yingli, with the assistance of the traitor Yue Feng, attacked Yunnan.

However, under the command of Emperor Shenzong, the Ming army wiped out more than 10,000 invading Burmese troops and achieved a comprehensive victory. Liu Jing, Deng Zilong and other generals led their troops from Longchuan and Mengmi to attack Awa

The Burmese general Meng Shao surrendered to the Ming army. Meng Shao was Mang Yinglong's younger brother, that is, Mang Yingli's uncle. It turned out that the Burmese generals who were guarding Longchuan, Meng Yang, Manmo and other places all retreated, and the traitor Yue Feng

Both his son were later executed, and finally ended his more than ten-year life as a traitor.

As time goes by, the officials of the court today have forgotten the great military achievements of Emperor Shenzong in the Indochina Peninsula.

A powerful article was like a slap in the face of Emperor Chongzhen, almost pointing at the young emperor's nose and cursing this unworthy descendant. Ma Cheng was secretly surprised and smiled bitterly. Mr. Yuan was still the same bad temper.

It is reasonable for Mr. Yuan to point at the nose of Emperor Shenzong to curse, but now he scolds Emperor Chongzhen.

In short, the Ming Dynasty was famous for its divisions. It swept across southern Myanmar with the banner of liquidation and took direct access to northern Myanmar.

Yang Tiansheng was in Burma, but he was forced to wipe his butt, so he had to mobilize troops to watch the way for him and guard against the Siamese army behind him.

Siam, the military power commission is really good. There are 5,000 Western mercenaries in the army, which is not a small number. There are Portuguese and Spanish among the Siam mercenaries, which are a mercenary who fights purely for money.

, Myanmar also has mercenaries, with roughly a thousand troops, all composed of the Portuguese.
