In the Goa region of Western India, the Mormugao Bay at the mouth of the Zuari River is one of the best natural ports in the entire South Asian subcontinent.
At the same time, Goa has the best beaches in the world. In addition, it is located in the tropics and is very humid and warm most of the year. In later generations, it has become a famous beach resort in the world.
However, Zhu Binhan, the king of Shu in Goa, had no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery here. He was only in his twenties, but he had a sad face.
The Portuguese blocked the outlet of the harbor and tried to sink all their ships. At the same time, on land, because they had not prepared enough in advance, they did not choose a good place to stay after arriving here.
The natives in the Goa area were also attacking Zhu Binhan's people on land, but fortunately these natives had low combat power and did not pose much of a threat.
The real threat came from Portugal on the sea. More than a dozen Portuguese warships blocked the outlet of the Zuari River, making it impossible for him to communicate with the outside world.
"These hateful Portuguese people bully people too much. This place does not belong to the jurisdiction of Guri State at all, but they are very domineering and say that this is their territory."
"It's just hateful. I'm not prepared enough. If there are a few Ming warships, I won't send you all into the sea."
Zhu Binhan was extremely angry.
Although he was not as ambitious as King Ning, he was not satisfied with being a pig in the Ming Dynasty, so he organized people to go to sea and prepared to establish his own vassal state overseas.
When he was in Ceylon, he had already chosen the Goa region.
The Goa region is considered one of the best regions in Western India. It has abundant rainfall, fertile land, and high-quality harbors and rivers. As long as it is well developed, it will definitely become a wealthy country.
Moreover, he had already found out clearly that the indigenous people in the Goa area were very weak, so he hurriedly brought himself and the boat to the Goa area.
It was very smooth at first, easily defeating the local natives and establishing a foothold in Goa, but soon the Portuguese came.
The arrogant and domineering Portuguese could not tolerate anyone seizing their territory, so they directly declared war on the King of Shu. The Portuguese warships were very sharp, and although the King of Shu had ships, they were not warships.
Warships are very expensive, and the Ming Dynasty has extremely strict supervision over the sale and management of warships. Firstly, the King of Shu himself does not have enough funds, and secondly, he does not expect a naval battle. His ships are also equipped with some artillery.
, not really a battleship.
After such a battle, the King of Shu suffered a loss. Several ships were sunk by the Portuguese one after another. The ships had to go upstream and rely on the forts built on the shore to prevent the Portuguese from attacking.
But this is definitely not the way to go. The King of Shu, who was ill-prepared, was short of supplies here and needed to contact the many trading houses on Ceylon Island to ask them to transport supplies.
Moreover, if the Goa region wants to establish a colony and a vassal state, it will definitely not be possible without supplies from the Ming Dynasty. However, the Portuguese have blocked the outlet to the sea. On land, the indigenous people in the Goa region are also constantly launching attacks.
This made the life of King Shu very ugly.
"I don't know if Ding Kui has arrived in Ceylon~"
The only thing he can hope for now is that Ding Kui can reach Ceylon Island as soon as possible. In this case, only after receiving his distress message, someone will come to help.
After all, he is also the prince of the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, he may be a pig in captivity, but when he goes overseas, his status is extremely noble. The people of the Ming Dynasty must not ignore death, otherwise if Emperor Hongzhi and the court are blamed,
Many trading houses on the island of Ceylon are not doing well.
Dear Lord Tianhuang, this is by no means just a shout-out.
"Your Majesty, the local natives have begun to attack us again."
At this time, Lu Li, the general under the King of Shu, hurried over and said.
"Kill them, kill them hard, these natives, if you don't kill them hard, they will really think that I, the Ming people, are easy to bully."
When Zhu Binhan heard this, he immediately said.
"Yes~"
When Lu Li heard this, he hurriedly led the troops under the King of Shu and started to kill the natives.
When the King of Shu came to Western Tianzhu this time, he did not bring many people with him, only more than 2,000 people. Among them, one thousand were the Shu army he had trained in Nanyang, and the remaining one thousand were with the King of Shu.
Shu people who migrated overseas.
Most of these Shu people used to be servants, servants, domestic servants, poor farmers, long-term workers, etc. under the command of the King of Shu. In total, they were all people of the King of Shu's palace.
The King of Shu promised them that after they went overseas and established the Kingdom of Shu, all those who followed the King of Shu overseas would be able to obtain at least a thousand acres of fertile land. As long as they had merit, after the Kingdom of Shu was established, they could also be granted titles and serve as officials.
Relying on such a set of deception, the King of Shu also brought out two thousand people. In addition, in the fiefdom of the King of Shu, his people are still recruiting people and will continuously transport people here.
Lu Li rode a war horse with more than a hundred cavalry and more than 400 infantry to kill the natives in the Goa area. Although they had only trained for a short time, they were still well-equipped. After some killings, the Goa area's natives
These natives were thrown off their backs by Lu Li and quickly retreated.
On the sea outside Zuari River, more than a dozen Portuguese warships cruised on the sea.
On the battleship Rafael, the Portuguese nobleman Vasco, who was in charge of commanding the operation, was also observing the situation on the King of Shu's side on the Zuari River. A group was trying to find opportunities to completely defeat these Ming people.
"The Ming Dynasty's artillery is so powerful that our warships simply do not dare to approach the Zuari River. If we land, we will definitely suffer heavy losses."
Vasco shook his head helplessly. Portugal's strength in India was seriously insufficient. It only had more than 20 warships, and the total number of people did not exceed 2,000. They had to divide their troops to garrison in Guri, and they had to send warships to blockade the Persian Gulf.
and the Arabian Sea, patrolling a vast area.
If it is to deal with the local aborigines here in India, it is enough for us. The local aborigines have low combat power. The key is that they are very divided. They can be easily disintegrated and defeated.
But it is far from enough to deal with the Ming people.
The Ming people have powerful artillery, muskets, bows and arrows, armor, and cavalry. They are also well-trained and extremely brave and experienced in combat. If they fight to the death with the Ming people, both sides will lose in the end.
Just like the situation in front of him, if it were the indigenous people, he would have sailed over long ago, fired a cannon fire first, and then landed, clearing the way with muskets, bows, arrows, and swords, absolutely easily defeating the local indigenous people.
However, they encountered the Ming Dynasty. They built forts at high altitudes and relied on powerful artillery to directly block the river bend area. The Portuguese artillery did not have that far range, so they did not dare to pass by.
Even after it has passed, if you want to land, you will be attacked by the Ming people. The Ming people's muskets are more advanced than theirs, and their equipment is better, so they will not take any advantage.
Now we can only waste it, exhaust the Ming people's food and the like, and then send people to contact the indigenous people on the land to see if these indigenous people can defeat the Ming people.
"The natives are the natives. They were defeated again by such an easy attack from the Ming people."
Looking at the Goan natives on the land who were easily defeated by the Ming people again, Vasco couldn't help but shake his head. Counting on these natives would probably never be a hope.
"It's not good~ It's not good~"
At this time, his subordinates hurried over and said.
"There are ships, many ships, ships of the Ming Dynasty~"
The subordinate pointed in the direction of the outer sea and said anxiously.
When Vasco heard this, he quickly looked in the direction of the outer sea. He saw sparkling waves, and between the water and the sky, there were vaguely huge warships approaching him rapidly, with flying clouds on the warships.
The Ming Dynasty Dragon Flag is very eye-catching.
"Ready to fight!"
Vasco's face suddenly turned pale. The Ming people's support must have been too fast. Moreover, there were dozens of warships. Each warship was huge in size. There were rows of gun holes and cannons on both sides of the ship.
They have all been stretched out, revealing the ferocious barrels.
"Your Majesty~ Your Majesty~"
"It's the battleship of our Ming Dynasty~"
"It's the battleship of our Ming Dynasty~"
At the same time, the people on the King of Shu's side also discovered the strange movement on the sea. After looking through the telescope, they immediately reported to the King of Shu with joy.
"Haha, okay~"
When Zhu Binhan heard this, he immediately jumped up with joy.
Soon, the flag carriers on both sides began to communicate across a long distance. The flags were constantly waving, and the situation of the other side was immediately known.
"Your Majesty, they are Prince Ning's men!"
Lu Li was a little surprised. He originally thought it would be someone from the Western United Trading Company, but he didn't expect it to be from Prince Ning.
"Prince Ning's men?"
The King of Shu was slightly startled, but soon he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whose troops they are, as long as they are from our Ming Dynasty. Now I want to see how these Portuguese people can block us."
"Give me the order to attack these Portuguese from both inside and outside and send them all to the sea."
"Yes~"
Lu Li nodded quickly, and a ship parked at the river bend also began to sail out. Cannons were loaded onto the ship one by one, preparing to go out to sea to fight the Portuguese.
Above the 'Ning Wanghao'.
"Your Majesty, the situation of the King of Shu is not bad. They have blocked the river bend with artillery. The Portuguese can't do anything to them. Now the King of Shu says that he will attack these Portuguese with us from both inside and outside."
Dong Lin came to King Ning to report.
"Well, prepare for battle. After killing these Portuguese warships, we can go back and capture the Guri Kingdom. This will be considered our first overseas colony."
Prince Ning nodded and said energetically.
Well, it seems very good to have a colony here in Tianzhu.
