Since Magobi had a special status, belonging to the level of African vassal king, Liu Ziguang thought this was an excellent gimmick, so he gave Magobi a used python robe of his and gave him a new black gauze.
There is also some gold thread on the wings of the gauze, which looks quite similar, but it is exposed when he walks. King Magoby's pair of forty-five size bare feet are exposed like a boat, but this prince is Duncan.
The general's brother, no one dares to laugh at him.
The exiled royal family of Changoro was established in Temasek. Magobi found a few good-looking young female slaves to enrich his harem, and also selected two to give to his eldest brother Magobi. However, Lord Duncan's current aesthetics have changed, and he no longer
He likes black women who are as naked as a cloth bag, but he likes the petite beauties who are looking forward to the Qinhuai River, so he politely declined his brother's kindness. Not only did he not want a black wife, but he would not be surprised if Magobi gave him the throne.
How can the chief of a small tribe compare with the glory of the general of the Celestial Dynasty?
Liu Ziguang doesn't think so. The exiled government of the Kingdom of Praise is not just a mere two thousand slaves. In the future, tens of thousands of black slaves will come under this banner to fight for the unification of Africa, so he is very worried.
He attached great importance to Magoby and personally wrote a memorial to the emperor to ask for a formal canonization for Magoby. By the way, he also explained Duncan's true identity. He was a genuine African prince. It is also very clear that the imperial court had a foreign prince serving in the army.
The Ming Dynasty's prestige spread far and wide, so it shouldn't be a problem to get Duncan the title of first-class baron.
Liu Ziguang felt a sense of accomplishment after changing Duncan's identity from a slave to a prince. He naturally thought of his good brother Anthony who was also in Temasek. This white man claimed to be a descendant of the Romans. In fact, he didn't know exactly who he was.
He is from that country. He has been displaced since he was a child. He has gone through many wars and can speak the languages of several countries. Such a talent must be from a noble family in Hezhou, Xiniu. When the right opportunity comes to help his brother package it, he will also be the whole person.
Princes, grand dukes, etc. just for fun.
Anthony didn't care about those false reputations. He was similar to Duncan in this regard. They both believed that the status of a general in the Ming Dynasty was more beneficial than the title of aristocrat in a foreign country. However, since Liu Ziguang was interested in eliminating these morons, they did not object.
The 200 students under Anthony's command have left the army this time, and Liu Ziguang has no intention of letting them return home. The war is imminent, and it is the time to recruit people. These students will graduate directly and be awarded the rank of small banner, which will be awarded to them by the commander himself.
The rank mark of the Red Shirt Regiment was a small golden star for each person. The original cadet badges were abolished at the same time. The graduation ceremony was held in the former British Castle and in the open space in front of today's Temasek City. After the ceremony, a banquet was held on the spot with tropical fruits.
, beer, and African-style barbecue. The slim and petite local indigenous women and the big-butt African women shuttled back and forth to serve food and wine, adding a touch of exotic flavor to this unforgettable graduation ceremony.
The veterans of the teaching group also attended the banquet. Hua Wuyu saw that the little brothers had small golden stars on their chests, and patted their shoulders with relief: "Boys, their official rank is as high as that of big brother.
Don't forget to honor me in the future." Of course Meng Zhiqiang and others will not forget the kindness of Big Brother Hua. They all took out the cigars they bought with their subsidies and dedicated them to Big Brother. Hua Wuyu took them, sniffed them with satisfaction, and put the cigars away.
He hid it in his arms, took the cigarette from his ear, lit it and started smoking: "You guys are good and polite, I take good care of you."
The war is divided into two parts, one is the land battle to capture Badawi, and the other is the sea operation to blockade Java. The former can be left to Anthony. This martial arts instructor in the capital's martial arts hall is not a vain person. Not only does he play
He has a good epee sword, is also good at combining and distributing various troops to form an efficient strike force, and has read various military books and strategies a hundred times. He can really be regarded as a Confucius with a sword on his shoulder, both civil and military, plus a group of Taiwanese and Japanese soldiers.
With the cooperation of experienced officers from the Song Dynasty, teaching groups and trainees, as well as the support of the imperial army, black troops, and black troops from the Song Dynasty, not to mention so many artillery, gunfire, and airships, it was easy to conquer Badawi.
.
The latter was a naval battle. Liu Ziguang sent Duncan to coordinate the deployment of the Song and Ming navies. The Song Navy was the main force, and the Ming Navy and the China Merchants Armed Merchant Ship were the supplements. They specialized in capturing and inspecting Western ships from the Strait of Malacca to the South China Sea.
In fact, the slave trade also secretly robbed some Western ships loaded with goods. Anyway, we have already provoked those Western maritime powers, so it is not a big deal to rob them again.
After arranging these things, Liu Ziguang was ready to go back home. He didn't need to do everything personally. It was enough to explain the general direction of these simple things. He had been away from home for too long and the Chinese New Year was about to come. He couldn't help but think about Zeng who was far away in Nanjing.
Chenglai, after a period of time with Zhao Wen, the queen was finally pregnant. Although it was only the first month, Zhao Wen had already bulged her belly, showing off her hard work and achievements, and asked Liu Ziguang to accompany her every day.
Walking near the castle.
"Ms. sir, look at that patch of flowers. They are so beautiful. I have never seen such flowers before. We might as well transplant some and plant them at home." Zhao Wen pointed at a patch of bright red flowers and said.
Liu Ziguang looked up and saw that the flower was really delicate and beautiful. The petals were as thin as paper and the red color was particularly weird. They bloomed towards him under the tropical sunshine. He didn't know why Liu Ziguang thought this flower was very evil, but since
If the queen likes it, she will ask someone to transplant it. Liu Ziguang clapped his hands and called a local servant and asked him: "What kind of flower is this?" The servant could speak Chinese and respectfully replied: "This is hibiscus.
.”
"Aphrodisiac, this name sounds a bit familiar. It seems that Huang Shizhenren's bull nose once mentioned it." Liu Ziguang carefully looked at the branches, leaves and rhizomes of the flower, and suddenly realized: "It turns out to be poppy. This is a good thing. Not only
It needs to be planted at home, and it needs to be grown on a large scale to extract some very high substances to meet the needs of young people in friendly countries."
After the deployment of the three armies, they were waiting for Badawi's reply. However, the order from Amsterdam was not received. The Dutch governor did not dare to reply without authorization. He only deployed troops at sea to block the Han attack at any time. In addition, the planters also organized themselves spontaneously.
, preparing to fight against the invasion, the Javanese royal family was also frightened, because they had a lot of Chinese blood on their hands. If the Song and Ming coalition forces came over, they would have to be stabbed. Under the pressure of the army, the royal family and the Dutch became a rope.
Grasshoppers on the ground, they panicked and assembled an indigenous army, armed with spears, blow darts, parang knives, wearing crude leather armor and bare feet, and practiced hard every day to prepare for emergencies. Badawi
It is the largest European-style building in the city center. White gentlemen with furrowed brows come in and out. From time to time, members of the indigenous royal family ride on slides and are protected by monkey-like native soldiers. They seem to be discussing something important.
On the fountain square outside the building, a group of planters gathered around, talking angrily. It seemed that they were gathering to demonstrate and put pressure on the company authorities.
It was busy here, but there was no movement on the other side of the strait. Tens of thousands of troops were concentrated in Temasek, and thousands of sailboats shuttled back and forth to transport supplies. Every day, people and horses chewed a large number of people, but the army was slow to launch an attack.
The key is to suppress the enemy's nerves. Although Java and Sumatra are just barbaric overseas lands, they are rich in oil and timber resources. Either do not use force or use force to capture it in one fell swoop. Sufficient preparations are necessary in advance.
There are no big moves on the surface, but there are a lot of small moves in private. Submarines in the Song Dynasty transport troops to Sumatra every day. A group of elite soldiers have gone deep into the jungle, established contact with the fleeing Chinese workers, and organized and armed them.
, once the fight officially begins, this is a sharp blade inserted into the enemy's belly.
At first, the allied forces of the Song and Ming Dynasties did not block the sea route, leaving an opportunity for the Dutch to report the news. However, when many Dutch immigrants planned to send their families, wives and children back to Europe, they found that the sea route was blocked because the colonial authorities did not reply within the specified time.
In response to the ultimatum issued by the Chinese Empire, the Chinese joint navy decided to block all channels from Badawi to the outside world. A large number of ships were accumulated in the harbors of Badawi and Palembang. Countless goods and people could not be transported out. Passengers and cargo owners complained.
The captains are helpless. As long as they go to sea, they will face the danger of being sunk by the submarine in Song Dynasty. Who is willing to take this risk? Poor Holland, known as the coachman of the sea, has now become a cripple at sea, let alone running around the world, just leaving the port.
All difficult.
The air in Badawi is getting more and more tense. People's nerves are tense every day, their moods are deteriorating, and their determination to resist is slipping away. The planters who were filled with indignation at the beginning no longer shout for beatings every day, but continue to do so.
Urge the company authorities to quickly come up with a decent plan and negotiate properly with those Han people. Is there anything that we can't sit down and talk about slowly? Now the goods from the plantation cannot be shipped out, and there is an extreme shortage of manpower. The East India Company's stock price is plummeting every day.
If this continues, all the wealth that you have worked so hard to accumulate over the years will be wasted.
