863 Tatar in the Age of Navigation

The Kingdom of Johor, which is adjacent to the Lion City, and the affiliated Sultanate of Kedah, were the first to choose the path of surrender to the Ming army.

Although during the discussion, some people also suggested that they already had firearms, were much stronger than before, and thought they could fight the Ming army.

However, more people think that even the Dutch fled after hearing the news, so they just bought the muskets from the Dutch, so they think they are great and can fight against the Ming army?

As soon as this argument came out, the discussion ended without any doubt and surrender was chosen.

Kui Yi probably didn’t expect that the Dutch tried so hard to provoke the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang, but in the end they were ruined by the fact that they themselves fled after hearing the news!

The natives of Nanyang are ignorant, but that doesn't mean they are stupid!

You Dutch people fled after hearing the news, and when you fled, you still wanted to please the Ming army, fearing that the Ming army would chase them. So why did the Nanyang natives fight against the Ming army?

For these surrendered countries, the royal family and senior civil servants and military officers all moved to the territory of the Ming Dynasty. In name, it was to allow them to gain experience and enjoy the glory and wealth. In fact, it was natural that they would no longer be in power and cut off their original ties. Then these

Indigenous nations undergo rectification.

For example, household registrations were re-edited, land was allocated, newly arrived Ming officials were directly governed, religion was also brought under the jurisdiction of the imperial court as in the country, children were sent to public schools to learn Chinese, etc.

Of course, there are still some people who are not clear-headed, and that is the Sultanate of Aqi.

They thought they were more powerful than the surrounding countries. After all, they were the agents of the Ottoman Empire in Southeast Asia. Psychologically speaking, they felt as if they had a big country behind them to rely on, so they refused to surrender.

Therefore, the Nanyang Navy of the Ming Dynasty didn't have anything to say, and it happened to be short of a chicken to kill, so it immediately divided its troops and invaded the Aqi Sultanate.

Even if the separatist forces in the Aqi Sultanate temporarily gave up their internal fighting and united, it gave the Ming army the opportunity to gather together and annihilate them.

The Ming army used its devastating offensive to tell many indigenous people in Southeast Asia that their combat effectiveness would be stronger if they had firearms. In the face of Ming's attack, more people would not solve the problem!

The well-trained Ming army used firearms with a range that was much higher than that of indigenous Southeast Asian firearms, especially those new firearms that they had never seen before, such as heartless cannons and grenades. The blast caused a hive of attacking indigenous ghosts to cry like wolves, and then cried for their fathers and mothers.

, the army of the Aqi Sultanate collapsed.

This was not surprising even to the Portuguese who fought with the army.

I think back then, they had only one warship, and even when there was no wind and could not take advantage of their maneuverability, they were able to defeat the attack of more than 200 ships of the Aqi Sultanate and win the naval battle. Today's Aqi Sultanate is better than that

Times were even worse, and the Ming army was stronger than the Portuguese. The outcome of this war was the most normal!

They would not be polite to such a defeated indigenous country in Southeast Asia. All the captives were escorted to the Zhou Kingdom and handed over when King Ding came to conquer Australia. In the Sultanate of Yaqi, the royal family and senior civil servants and generals also

They all killed a group of them, with heads rolling in.

Only the poorest remaining locals were included in the process of assimilation, allowing them to live a better life than before.

Another Ming army, the one that attacked Batavia, had a similar process to the one in Lion City.

A handful of Dutch people fled after hearing the news, and the Ming Navy accepted Batavia almost smoothly. Some of the local indigenous people surrendered, and some refused to surrender. In the end, they all fell under the iron fist of the Ming Navy and taught them

How to be a human being.

Of course, because it had to resolve matters in Nanyang, the Ming Navy did not send warships to chase the Dutch.

However, this does not mean that there are no "surprises" for the Dutch!

It is said that Kui Yi led the fleet and left Nanyang in an escape style, sailing westward.

According to the plan of the Dutch East India Company, Nanyang was too close to the Ming Empire. Both in terms of manpower and number of ships, it was crushed by the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty still had those kind of steam warships, so abandon Nanyang.

, it is a last resort.

However, this does not mean that the Dutch will really go back obediently.

With such huge interests in the Far East, it is absolutely impossible for them to just go back home!

Therefore, according to the plan, after they left Nanyang, they prepared to attack Ceylon occupied by the Portuguese in advance.

In the original history, the Dutch attacked Colombo in 1654, but were defeated by the Portuguese and retreated to another base in Ceylon. After gathering greater strength, they launched another attack on Colombo, and finally two years later

Defeated the Portuguese and captured the entire Ceylon.

This time, the Dutch attacked Ceylon with almost the entire strength of Nanyang. In this regard, Kuiyi was very confident that they could win Ceylon.

On this day, when the Dutch fleet sailed to the Andaman Sea, Kui Yi ordered the fleet to dock at Daguang in the Dongyu Dynasty and take a rest.

This great light would be Yangon in later generations, where the Yinrawaddy River enters the sea.

However, at this time, the scale of this Daguang was not large, and the population was not large. It was still the size of a fishing village, or in other words, slightly better than a fishing village.

After all, at the east estuary of a large river, the fishing industry is relatively developed and more local people gather. Passing ships can also dock for supplies, bringing more profits.

When Kuiyi passed by here in the past, he would stop there because the Dutch also had a stronghold here and dealt with the Taungoo dynasty.

However, this time, what he never expected was that the ship that had passed by before it even got close was not only returning, but also sending a flag to the flagship, indicating that it had enemy intentions.

At this time, Kui Yi was a little confused.

This is the territory of Dongwu's Toungoo Dynasty. Although the Dongwu people once fought with the Portuguese who wanted to colonize here, and defeated the Portuguese and crucified their then governor, the Dutch and Toungoo

The relationship between the dynasty and the dynasty has always been good!

In the past, I even sold a lot of firearms to the Toungoo Dynasty at a low price, just because the Toungoo Dynasty wanted to go to war with the Ming Dynasty!

What's going on? The Dongwu people won't fall out, right? At least when he passed here last year, the Dongwu people still welcomed them as Dutch people! Even the Dutch ships that passed by before didn't say anything about the Dongwu people.

of?

Thinking like this, Kui Yi felt very strange. After ordering the fleet to be on alert, he asked his flagship to take the initiative to greet them, trying to figure out the situation.

When he was shouting loudly and could hear the sound, Kuiyi finally figured out what was going on. Now, he was even more unbelievable: "What, you said those Daguang warships are all Ming warships?

Are there also Ming troops on the shore?"

Isn’t this incredible? How could the Ming army appear in this great light?

This place is not only a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from the border of the Ming Dynasty, but it is at least a long way away. If the Ming army appears here, it will be equivalent to passing through the entire territory of the Toungoo Dynasty!

One thing he was certain of was that it was absolutely impossible for the Ming army here to come through the Strait of Malacca! It was even more impossible from other directions, such as the west!

A thought came to Kui Yi's mind: that is, the Ming army had defeated the Toungoo dynasty and occupied Dongwu, so the Ming army appeared in Daguang!

However, Kuiyi himself did not receive the news. This shows that the war on the Toungoo Dynasty must have ended within a period of time!

However, this is impossible!

The Toungoo dynasty of Dongwu is considered powerful among the surrounding indigenous countries! Otherwise, the Dutch would not be able to do business with the Dongwu people in a decent manner!

Such a dynasty was conquered by the Ming Dynasty?

Although Kuiyi admitted that the Ming Kingdom was indeed powerful, he did not believe that the Ming Kingdom could be so powerful that it destroyed the Toungoo Dynasty silently!

Thinking like this, he had to go and see with his own eyes what was going on here in Daguang?

Carefully heading towards the direction of the big light, with the help of a telescope, he really saw that in the distance in the direction of the big light, including both sides of the estuary, there were all Ming troops.

Even without seeing the dazzling red color, you can tell that it is unique to the Ming Dynasty army.

I saw rows of Ming warships docked at the estuary. On both sides of the estuary, the Ming army seemed to be building forts.

Seeing this situation, Kui Yi could confirm that this place was really occupied by the Ming Dynasty.

And he observed that most of the warships docked at the estuary were not the large warships commonly seen on the sea, not to mention that there were no steam-armored warships at all.

From this, Kui Yi was certain that the Ming army that appeared here must have flown down the river. In other words, the Ming Dynasty now has direct access to the Indian Ocean!

After confirming this situation, I was a little stunned for a moment.

In the past, he had already recognized the Ming Dynasty's influence on Nanyang. After all, it was close to the Ming Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, today's Ming Dynasty actually captured Dongwu and expanded the territory controlled by their country to the Indian Ocean. If the Ming Dynasty Navy uses this as a base in the future, wouldn't it mean that the entire Indian Ocean region will be occupied by the Ming Dynasty Navy?

world?

Considering the Ming Dynasty's desire to control Southeast Asia, judging from this distance, it is not impossible that the Ming army will appear on the Persian Gulf in the future!

When he thought of this, Kui Yi's head suddenly got bigger!

The fleet he led was also preparing to attack Colombo and occupy it.

However, the Ming Kingdom has now reached Daguang. Even if the layout of Nanyang can hold back the Ming army there, can the newly emerged Ming army from Dongwu not expand westward?

At this moment, the idea of ​​the Ming Dynasty threat theory appeared in Kui Yi's mind, just like when the Mongolian Tatars swept across Europe and Asia, they were terrifying!

I didn’t expect that in this age of navigation, we might encounter such a mess!

While he was thinking, he realized that the Ming army's warships seemed to have spotted him and were gathering to come this way.

Suddenly, Kui Yi didn't dare to stay any longer and ran away quickly!
