Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 206 Zhu Wenzheng Conquers Nanyang

"One hundred thousand troops?"

After Duan Gong heard the number of troops planned by the Delhi Sultanate, he was immediately horrified.

You must know that Duan Gong's real trustworthy army is still the original 1 people. It is okay to deal with the natives who believe in Brahmins, because they have long been accustomed to obeying the conquerors, and it doesn't take much effort to defeat them. .

However, Duan Gong has heard that the ruling class of the Delhi Sultanate is also a foreign conqueror just like Duan Gong.

That shows that the army of the Delhi Sultanate far exceeds those local Brahmins.

With his 10 troops, Duan Gong may not be able to withstand the siege of [-] people.

"Hurry up!"

"Immediately send the fastest ship to ask for assistance from the Ming court!"

Duan Gong knew that he had just gained a firm foothold here in Bangladesh, once he was defeated by the enemies of the Delhi Sultanate, the only way out was to jump into the sea to feed the bastard.

In this situation, only the Ming court can save itself by providing weapons and troops.

Fortunately, the ruling efficiency of the Delhi Sultanate is low. In order to collect enough money to hire Central Asian fighters, they still need at least half a year of preparation.

During this period of time, I believe that Daming can also send an army to save himself.

The successive news of Duan Gong's emergency was quickly conveyed to Ying Tianfu, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, along with fast merchant ships.

After receiving Duan Gong's urgent request, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care much at first.

In Bangladesh, far away in the sky, Duan Gong, who surrendered halfway, made Zhu Yuanzhang not interested in supporting him across thousands of miles.

However, Zhu Han had a different view on Duan Gong's request.

"Duan Gong and his group of people made a lot of mistakes and managed to occupy a piece of land in India, and they surrendered to me, Daming, so they must be saved!" Zhu Han said.

"It's too far away. We can only send 1 people at most. I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop the [-] troops of the Delhi Sultanate!" Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously.

It’s not really his fault that he would not save him, but the sea route from Daming to Bangladesh is too far away. Even if the troops are transported at any cost, they can only transport 1 people and their weapons and equipment.

Duan Gong said in the memorial that the Delhi Sultanate had at least one hundred thousand troops.

One hundred thousand troops against ten thousand, and one hundred thousand against twenty thousand.

There is no qualitative difference at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want Ming's soldiers to die in vain.

"Hahaha, bro, you don't have to worry about that. The 1 soldiers of our Daming are enough to equal the [-] troops of the Delhi Sultanate! In addition to Duan Gong's [-] men, let alone wipe out the entire Delhi Sultanate. It's okay for them to kneel down and beg for mercy!" Zhu Han said with a smile.

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised when he heard this, "What? Really? Isn't the Delhi Sultanate a big local country? Is it so weak?"

"The Delhi Sultanate is not only a big local country, but also a local powerful country. Its army can be said to be invincible in India! So the key to this question is not whether the Delhi Sultanate is strong or not, but how strong our Ming army is. Strong!"

Zhu Han's words are definitely not nonsense.

The Indian continent is a well-known safe haven. As long as the Central Asian conquerors of all dynasties entered the Indian continent, they would be completely corrupted and degenerate in a short time, and they could only bully the weaker Indian natives.

"Our East India Company has almost prepared, and this time we can use the name of the East India Company to send troops to support Duan Gong, without using a single soldier from the imperial court!" Zhu Han continued.

"For this expedition, not only does the court not need military expenses, but I also want to make everyone earn a lot of money!"

For Zhu Han's amazing remarks, the old Guo Zhu Yuanzhang played his high-intensity acceptance ability trained by Zhu Han.

"Okay, we agree with what you said! This time, you will have full authority to support Duan Gong!"

My brother has been a bit cunning recently, and often uses this reason as a shopkeeper.

It's just that Zhu Han's subsequent words made him jump again.

"Brother, I decided to go to India this time!" Zhu Han said.

"What!?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't believe his ears. Zhu Han, as the prince of Ming Dynasty, had to take the risk of going to India thousands of miles away for a mere achievement.

"This is absolutely impossible. The journey is far away and full of dangers. I also heard that plagues have often occurred in Tianzhu since ancient times. If you go there and have any mistakes, let's talk to someone!!" Zhu Yuanzhang said in an unquestionable way. Said the tone.

"It's nothing at all. Our Daming warship is very strong now, and there is no need to worry about the safety of the sea when there is no storm. Moreover, I have a lot of magical medicines for backup, and I am not afraid of any plague poisonous insects!"

The Ming East India Company is about to open, and Zhu Han personally formulated this evil colonial policy.

Others in Ming Dynasty have no clue and experience on how to effectively and correctly run the East India Company.

Zhu Han had to go and make a sample himself, and hit the Daming East India Company with the first shot.

In the end, unable to withstand Zhu Han's hard work, his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang finally agreed to his request to personally conquer the Delhi Sultanate of India.

Zhu Han planned to personally set up the Ming East India Company fleet to go to India. Apart from going to see the actual situation, he also wanted to visit various vassal states in Southeast Asia along the way.

Of course, the most important thing is to stay in Malacca to see how the Jingnan feudal kingdom of the eldest nephew Zhu Wenzheng is doing.

As an important node in the maritime trade of the Ming Dynasty, whether Zhu Wenzheng's Jingnan King can be qualified is related to the smooth progress of the maritime trade of the Ming Dynasty.

So Zhu Han's parent-child expedition this time has a very heavy task.

Of course, by the way, I am busy with these business affairs.

Zhu Han also wanted to appreciate the Indian customs of those big-eyed Sari women who were good at singing and dancing.

The fleet led by Hu Dahai had just arrived in Persia at this time, and another ocean-going fleet of Ming Dynasty, led by Hu Guanzhu, son of Hu Dahai, was about to head east to the American continent to continue exploring.

The Ming East India Company fleet led by Zhu Han this time can only be formed now.

After all, the ocean-going navy burns a lot of money. With the current financial situation of the Ming Dynasty so rich, only two complete ocean-going fleets were formed first.

The fleet led by Zhu Han this time is not only related to the national prestige of Ming Dynasty, but also related to Zhu Han's own safety.

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang immediately attached great importance to it, and urged the officials, workers and craftsmen below.

The fleet of the Daming East India Company not only has its own start-up capital of 30 vehicles.

It also received 40 silver sponsorships specially allocated by the imperial court.

A mighty East India Company fleet was thus born.

Counting all warships, merchant ships and small boats, the size of this fleet has reached a terrifying one hundred!

Among them are fifteen third- and fourth-tier battleships with both firepower and maneuverability.

The new artillery on these warships is not only powerful, but also equipped with brand new sights, which can instantly shatter any enemy ship into pieces within a hundred steps.

Not only did Zhu Han prepare powerful force, but the accompanying merchant ship was also loaded with goods from the Ming Dynasty.

As long as any batch of goods arrives in West Asia or Europe, it can be exchanged for almost the same weight of gold and silver!

As the New Year approached, the Daming East India Fleet led by Zhu Han officially set sail.

.........

The fifth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty, December.

Nanyang, Uka City.

Not long ago, Zhu Wenzheng, King Jingnan of the Ming Dynasty, led tens of thousands of guards and family members of his palace to Wuka City.

After seeing the imperial decree, the soldiers of the three Ming ships staying here in Wuka City handed over Wuka City to Zhu Wenzheng.

The surrounding small countries in Nanyang have heard that Daming enfeoffed a prince in Nanyang, and the entrusted territory is Uka City and the Spice Islands to the south.

No matter what the names of these small islands in the South China Sea are, from now on they will be called the Spice Islands on the territory of Ming Dynasty.

After Zhu Wenzheng arrived in Wuka City, he immediately issued his first order to the surrounding small countries in Nanyang.

All small countries in Nanyang must set up embassies in Wuka City, where King Jingnan of the Ming Dynasty is located, and all embassy personnel need the monarchs of each small country to send their children as envoys.

A messenger in name, but a hostage in fact.

The great reputation of the Ming Dynasty made these small countries in Nanyang not dare to slack off on Zhu Wenzheng's orders.

However, one Nanyang country was an exception. Not only did they not follow Zhu Wenzheng's request to set up an embassy in Wuka City to send hostages, but they also sent people to expel the envoys of Ming Dynasty.

This small country is exactly the Lin Po country on the Spice Islands.

The location of Lin Poguo is Zhu Wenzheng's fiefdom.

According to Daming's enfeoffment, Lin Po Kingdom somehow became Daming's land.

So Lin Poguo naturally hated Daming very much, and planned to fight to the end.

They not only expelled the envoy, but also sent an army to quietly follow behind the envoy, trying to attack the Ming army stationed on the shore.

It's just that although the Ming army did not have an advantage in numbers, they were well-equipped and heavily guarded, and soon completely defeated the Lin Poguo army that was planning a sneak attack.

After Zhu Wenzheng got the news, he was not angry, but happy, because this Lin Poguo gave him a reason to go to war.

After all, in order to maintain its image of justice, it is impossible for Daming to easily launch such a war to annex territory.

Well now, Zhu Wenzheng has just arrived in Wuka City, and he has become famous as a teacher.

On the other side, Lin Poguo originally thought that he would be able to succeed in a sneak attack, and then deter the Ming army, but he never expected to be defeated.

Zhu Wen was leading his army southward in Wuka City, and the news that he was about to attack Lin Poguo came soon after.

Lin Po country, in the royal palace.

It is said to be a palace, but it is actually a house surrounded by wood and banana leaves.

"Father, our army has all been killed by the Ming army!"

Naxutuo, the prince of Po Lin, hurried in and shouted with grief and indignation.

"What? What did you say?"

Hearing this, Lin Po Wang Grona's face was full of shock and surprise.

"We sent a thousand troops! They were completely killed by the soldiers and horses of the Ming army!"

Nasutuo quickly shouted again.

"What's going on here? The soldiers and horses of the Ming army are so powerful?" King Lin Po yelled in horror, her face full of disbelief.

You must know that the [-] troops of Lin Po Kingdom are all jungle fighters, and they are invincible on this island.

"The Ming army is very powerful, we have to deal with it well!"

"I also got news that Zhu Wenzheng's army is coming soon. We have wiped out a thousand troops, and now there are only 3000 people left in Wangcheng."

Nasutuo quickly replied.

"How is this possible? The Ming army is so weak, doesn't it only have one ship? How could it kill so many of our warriors?"

Lin Powang's face was full of astonishment, still unbelievable.

"Although there is only one ship, the swords and guns used by the Ming army are powerful, and there are sticks that can breathe fire!" Naxutuo said.

"No! We must not let it go like this. We want to seek revenge from the Ming army and guard our land!"

"Father, what should we do now?"

"Tell me what to do first. Is there any way?" Wang Po Wang asked back, with a serious expression on his face.

"I don't know!"

Naxutuo shook his head, a look of panic appeared on his face.

"You trash! Now you should quickly mobilize people. The Ming army is about to land on the shore, surprise them, and kill them! Otherwise, what is the majesty of our Linpo clan?"

Lin Po Wang Grona shouted furiously.

"Yes!"

Naxutuo nodded quickly, and ran out in a hurry, with a look of anxiety on his face.

"Hmph, the people of the Ming Dynasty really look down on people! They are really too arrogant! They dare to do something to Mrs. Lin, the Tiger of the Jungle, it's courting death!"

Seeing his son Naxutuo out of his sight, Lin Powang snorted coldly.

"Decree that from today onwards, all Linpo tribes will retreat to the woods outside the city and are not allowed to enter any city!"

King Lin Po immediately issued an order.

"Obey, Your Majesty!"

"As ordered!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Lin Po Wang's order, a group of Lin Po's native guards responded one after another, and then immediately left Lin Po Wang City.

"Hmph, Zhu Wenzheng, I want to see how long you can be arrogant!"

Lin Powang secretly hated him.

"Zhu Wenzheng, just wait, I will make you pay the price!"

Lin Powang cursed inwardly.

"Your Majesty, are you really planning to retreat?" asked the leader of the Linpo tribe beside him.

"Pretending to retreat is the best choice! Let the Ming army think that our soldiers and horses cannot gather together, so they will relax their vigilance and let us defeat them!"

Lin Po Wang said lightly.

"Your Majesty is wise!" the minister quickly flattered him.

"Hmph, you all prepare for me, don't affect my strategy."

King Lin Po waved his sleeves, and the leaders of Lin Po Kingdom hurriedly retreated.

"Zhu Wenzheng, you wait for me, I, the Lin Po Clan, will not let you go!"

Whoever dares to snatch Mrs. Lin's land will have to pay the price in blood!
Lin Po Wang said secretly.

A few days later, news came that Zhu Wenzheng led the Ming army to land on Linpo Island.

Lin Poguo is ready for battle!

Lin Po Wang Ge Luo Na has long been waiting in the barracks.

"Come on! Quickly prepare the chariot, the king is going to gather the troops himself!" Grona shouted at the soldiers beside him.

"Yes!"

The swarthy native soldiers quickly replied.

"Come here, bring me the king's flag. This king will use this flag to summon the army."

Groner came to the gate of the barracks and shouted loudly.

"Yes!"

The soldiers immediately fetched Grona's king's banner, which had a yellow tiger painted on it.

It's just that the painters of the aborigines in Nanyang are not good enough. No matter how you look at it, this tiger looks like a cat.

"Sujano sees the king!"

As soon as Lin Po Wang Ge Luo Na raised the flag, he saw Su Jianuo, the number one general of Lin Po country, approaching.
