I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 509: Many vassal states
  The Ming Dynasty's edict to establish the Coconut City Governor's Palace on Java Island and to restore the Xuanwei Department of the old port was quickly announced to the world through the "Ming Dynasty Daily", along with the details of the battle.

In the Tang Dynasty, Tongjiang was awarded the title of Quanzhou Bo for his meritorious service, and all the officers and soldiers who accompanied him on the expedition received their own rewards. The Fujian Navy also received new orders and divided its troops to station in Yecheng, Malacca, and Jiugang.

Thereafter, based on the length of the governor's term of office, he would rotate with the local navy every five years. The governor of Luzon also received the same order.

As for Java Island, even before the envoys of the Ming Dynasty arrived, the situation here was already in complete chaos.

Today, several aristocratic landowners in the Matalan Sultanate have all established their own countries and are constantly expanding externally, rapidly encroaching on the land left by the Matalan Kingdom and the Dutch.

The Matalan Kingdom was directly dismembered into six parts, four sultans, a local king, and a Han governor.

The aristocratic landowners of Buriangan (Bandung) formally established their own country and called themselves Sultan of Boliangan. They sent envoys to Yecheng to request canonization from the Ming Dynasty.

The aristocratic landowners of Cirebon soon followed suit, claiming to be the Sultan of Yogyakarta, and also sent envoys to Yecheng to request canonization.

The aristocratic landowners of Gardasura changed their name to the Sultan of Solo to compete for the support of the aristocratic landowners of Central Java, and sent envoys to Coconut City to request a change of title.

Chen Wenjiong, the leader of the Han rebels in Semarang, established himself as the governor of Semarang with the support of many Han people in Semarang. He was also the governor of Semarang in Ming Dynasty, but he had officially called himself the Sultan of Semarang internally.

Chaningote, the native king of Madura who surrendered to the Mataram Kingdom, expelled the officials of the Mataram Sultan and directly declared independence, but did not send an envoy to Coconut City and only entertained himself on the island.

Sultan Matalan was furious and sent troops across the Madura Strait to attack the rebellious state of Madura. However, he was directly defeated. The Han people in Surabaya took the opportunity to encourage the Matalan people to overthrow the current Sultan Baku Buwo. King Nuno II instead welcomed his grandson Mas Galendi to the throne.

Now the new sultan of Matalan has sent an envoy to Yecheng to request the Ming Dynasty to be canonized. In less than half a year, the entire Matalan Sultanate has gone from being able to control half of the island of Java to now being able to only control the island of Java. The Northeast, and most of the regions, have listened to the tune but not the propaganda.

The royal capital, Surabaya City, was also seized by the Han people for financial power and economic lifeline, and the Matalan Sultanate seemed to have the flavor of the late Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, even so, the Ma Dalan country, which has been dismembered into six parts by careerists, is still fighting.

Madura Island entertains itself and basically does not participate in the civil war of several sultans in Madaram.

The Sultan of Buriangan is expanding to the east, because to the west is the territory of the Governor's Palace of Coconut City.

The Sultan of Yogyakarta is more embarrassed. He is too close to the Sultan of Burangan and the Chinese army. No matter where he goes to fight, he has to randomly encounter one of the two sides.

Sultan Solo was a little more comfortable. He did not dare to attack Semarang in the north for fear of offending the Chinese army. So it expanded in three directions: west, south and east. So far, it has been going smoothly, and most of the noble landowners are willing to surrender.

The Governor of Semarang, Chen Wenjiong, has no intention of external expansion. It is not that he has no ambition, but that his roots are in the Han people. The largest area that the Han people can control is Semarang and surrounding towns. If it expands externally, the Matalan natives will not succumb to him, and the Han people in Semarang will not obey his orders.

On the contrary, the real Sultan of Matalan in Surabaya City is more comfortable. Because he is a puppet sultan supported by the Han people and the Matalan people, he basically does not have to worry about anything. The noble landowners of East Java Island in the territory are also willing to Honor the new sultan and maintain the status quo.

……

Palembang Sultanate.

"What, not only Palembang City, but also Bangka Island and Belitung Island!"

Xu Yisheng smiled and said: "Your Highness the Sultan, I would like to correct you. That was the old port city of our Ming Dynasty, and it was never what you call Palembang. It is justifiable for our Ming Dynasty soldiers to regain the old port. On the contrary, the Sultan of Balimang They actually dared to send troops to attack our Old Ming Port City, resulting in numerous casualties among the Han people in our Old Ming Port City. Not only must Bangka Island and Belitung Island be ceded to our Old Ming Port Governor's Palace, but we must also pay extra compensation for casualties to the Han people in our Old Ming Port City."

There were two envoys from the Ming Dynasty who came to Sumatra. One was the canonized envoy from the Ministry of Rites in Old Port, and the other was the envoy from Honglu Temple represented by Xu Yisheng. They came directly to the royal capital of Balingpang Kingdom to meet Balingpang. Sudan.

The Sultan of Palembang was furious, but he still suppressed his anger: "This is impossible. Palembang City can be given to the Ming Dynasty. Bangka Island and Belitung Island are definitely not allowed. And the compensation for compensation will be paid to me, the Palembang Kingdom." The army was also killed and injured by thousands by the Ming Dynasty’s army, so this is considered even.”

Xu Yisheng sneered: "What's the matter? Do you, the indigenous untouchables of Palin Pang country, deserve to be on an equal footing with our Great Tomorrow? You don't have to cut off Bangka Island and Belitung Island. Our Great Tomorrow's military and naval forces will take over them. When Bangka Island and Belitung Island are occupied, our soldiers will come to the royal capital and have a good discussion with His Highness the Sultan." Sultan Palimbang was startled by this statement, and his original anger was instantly extinguished. , he couldn't even defeat the Dutch, let alone the Chinese army that easily defeated the Dutch and completely expelled the Dutch from Southeast Asia.

If this angers the Chinese army and they really attack along Palembang, how can the royal capital of Palembang be defended?

The Sultan felt very aggrieved. He obviously wanted to regain the lost territory, but not only failed to recover the lost territory, but also lost his troops. Now not only Palembang will be lost, but also two large overseas islands will be lost.

This would also be a huge blow to his sultan's prestige.

However, this has nothing to do with Xu Yisheng. In his opinion, Old Port was the territory of the Ming Dynasty as early as three hundred years ago. This small indigenous country of Sumatra actually dares to covet the territory of the Ming Dynasty. It is a life-and-death struggle.

The British envoy who came with Xu Yisheng saw that it was almost done, and actively tried to mediate: "Your Majesty the Sultan of Palembang, although you have lost Palembang, you have successfully expelled the Dutch. In the future, you will no longer be restricted by the Dutch. You can also gain the friendship of Ming China and Britain at the same time. They are just two useless islands. As long as Britain and Ming China are here, no country can bully Baling Pang. Moreover, you also bring peace to Paling Pang. When goods from Britain and Ming China come, your people will also praise you."

Xu Yisheng glanced at the British envoy in surprise. The other party actually took the initiative to cooperate with him.

In fact, this is not surprising. The British never thought of turning Palembang into a British protectorate. Because once this is done, Britain will be bordering the old port of China, which is not conducive to the colonial development of the two countries in Sumatra.

On the contrary, it was easier in the Banten Kingdom, which was originally a protectorate of the Dutch. Moreover, the British still prefer to play goods dumping in an indigenous country than to collect protectorates everywhere.

The most important thing is that Britain's current power in the Far East is not enough to support them in playing a protectorate in the Far East.

After being persuaded by the British, Sultan Palembang felt much better: "My lord, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, I feel very sorry for the misunderstanding in the old port city. I am willing to compensate the property losses of the Han people in the old port, and will also strictly enforce Punish those soldiers who attack without permission. Just Bangka and Belitung..."

"Humph!"

Xu Yisheng just snorted coldly.

Sultan Palembang immediately changed his mind: "Bangka Island and Belitung Island... along with Palembang, were also ceded to the Ming Dynasty."

After saying this, Sultan Balumban seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and his whole body became dejected.

Xu Yisheng finally smiled: "His Royal Highness the Sultan made a wise decision."

The British envoy also smiled and said: "Palin Pang will be jointly protected by the United Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty in the future, and the United Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty will also set up trade ports in Palin Pang."

What he said sounded as if Palimpang State had taken advantage. Not to mention, the Palembang Sultan really thought he had taken advantage.

After all, the economy of his country is too bad, and the products from Britain and China are so refreshing to him that he can't stop. Especially the aphrodisiac in Britain, which can only be enjoyed by the upper class aristocrats, has become popular among the aristocracy of Paragon in recent years. , just one breath can make people feel ecstasy.

The Sultan of Palembang had no idea that the so-called opium that could only be enjoyed by the upper class British aristocracy was sold by second-rate dealers in China. Most of these second-rate dealers were Chinese merchants who came from Nanjing when crows were banned.

Those powerful people who were forced to give up drugs were tortured so much that they did not dare to resent the emperor, but they could resent these businessmen.

These Chinese businessmen could not survive in the country, so most of them chose to flee overseas. After seeing how addictive afurongia was, they all began to sell afuronga more and more crazily in overseas countries. Even the current Nguyen clan's South Vietnam Kingdom, There are shadows of these merchants.

The current Ruan King, Ruan Phuc Thu, is a severe drug addict. The key point is that this guy was deceived, thinking that this stuff is very high-end in China, and even the emperor smokes it.

These second-rate dealers have obviously mastered the branding skills of Chinese cigars.

The Sultan of Palembang not only lost Palembang and two islands, but also the Musi River Delta around Palembang was also completely ceded to the Ming Dynasty. The most prosperous port of Palembang was lost.
