The biggest problem encountered by the Chinese in their foreign expansion is not a vicious enemy, an infinite sea frontier or an unpredictable environment, but a lack of population!

Think about it, the Chinese nation has developed for thousands of years before it filled up a land China in Nuoda, but now that China is being rebuilt, there is a sea China with an area similar to that on land, how many people do you need? !

After the Yan clan came to power in Taiwan, he has been suffering from a shortage of manpower, and has tried his best to immigrate from China on land to China on the sea, exhausting his energy and spending countless money, but he always feels that the population is not enough.

This trouble is even worse for European whiteskins!

At present, the populations of Spain, England, the Netherlands, and Portugal, which were the most powerful seafarers, had not yet been fed and strengthened by the flesh and blood of the people of all continents, and they occupied many places, and the problem of underpopulation was even more serious.

For example, in a colony in Asia, there can be more than 1,000 purebred white skins, which is already considered a big city!

They dealt with the natives, relying on the protection of fortified cities and the advantage of using firearms, but they were also very handy.

Although the musket artillery of that period was a hot weapon, it was not yet perfected, and it did not form a generation gap with cold weapons such as broadswords and spears.

Even a flintlock pistol can't withstand a few shots!

But with fortifications, everything is easy to say, using fortifications to hinder the opponent's attack, and then killing and injuring them with firearms, it is very perfect, because the natives everywhere cannot get rid of the stronghold of Hongmaofan, and can only let the other side expand their power year by year.

The red-haired fan is a fresh trick and eats all over the world, and it is very bullying the indigenous people of Africa, America and Asia.

But this trick will inevitably not be sold against the Chinese who have thicker, larger and harder firearms, and even worse, there are many Chinese!

They are outnumbered, their firearms fight farther, listen to the compatriots who came out of Colombo City to talk about the prosperity of Chinese martial arts, the Dutch in Galle Harbor are only 300 people, plus thousands of natives who have been annexed, people have even beaten Colombo City, how can this place be defended!

The trebuchets of the Chinese are afraid that they can hit the whole city!

A salvo of several hundred artillery pieces was fired, and the defense of the city of Galle was inferior to that of Colombo, and it would not be a problem to bombard.

How can I keep it? Once they lose, the townsfolk say they will carry up to ten silver dollars, and the rest of their property will be confiscated!

This is still the advantage of surrendering the city in time, if the two sides fight to the death, even if they surrender, the Chinese will have a good life, and they still want to count on having property to keep?

After his fellow villagers left to rest, Van Martin asked the people around him if they were fighting or running away.

Now, I have to think about it!

White-skinned belligerent?

Can you fight?

All of you here are high-ranking officials with a lot of wealth, if you end up with ten silver dollars around you, who will be willing?

The key is that there is no hope of winning this battle, so it is better to return early!

……

Let's say that the Kandy Kingdom of Ceylon is in harmony with the Chinese, and the two sides signed an alliance, one of which is that the Southeastern Kingdom will help the Kandyans expel the European White Skins, and not only the Southeastern Kingdom will send troops, but also the Kandy Kingdom will send troops.

So the Kandyans reorganized their armies for war, and they moved slowly, and it took them a few months to complete the build-up of troops, food and grass.

It's funny to say, originally the Southeast Army fought Colombo, and the 20,000 troops of the Kandy people arrived in Colombo, because the food ran out, they had to disperse back to various places to eat, and then the grain and grass were raised in various places, and the troops were regrouped.

Kandy's agricultural productivity is low--- with a strong Buddhist atmosphere, and the local farmers are careful to move to the side when turning out insects when ploughing the land, and the crops are not killed when there are insects, and there are many harvests!

In addition, for various reasons, the military rations of the Kandy people are not as full as the grain depots in the southeast, which have developed agriculture.

When they were preparing to send troops, a group of southeastern troops entered the holy city of Kandy in donkey carts under the guidance of the Kandyans.

The Southeastern Army used a lot of donkeys, and because the donkeys were easy to raise, they used few horses, and the horses could not run on the island.

They got off in front of the Prime Minister's Office, which was just a county government in Middle-earth!

It is no wonder that Yan Le, the envoy of the Southeast Province, talked about Kandy, a big city in Ceylon, which is only a third- or fourth-tier city in the Chinese world.

The prime minister, Ashwila, was handling affairs in the palace, and when he heard that the Southeast Army was sending important news, he attached great importance to it and personally met with the officers of the Southeast Army.

When the officers of the Southeast Army saw him, they gave a military salute, presented the documents, and explained to the interpreter who went with them, and an old fox like Ashwila was surprised when he heard this: "There is such a thing! ”

He sat unsteady in his seat, and said to the officer: "Envoy, please sit down, and this officer will be back later!" ”

He took the waiter to entertain the distinguished guests, took three steps and made two steps, and rushed out of the house.

Soon, the people of the Kandy royal palace saw their own prime minister running into the palace in a panic, this is a rare thing, what happened?

In the main hall of the palace, King Rajesingh II heard Ashwila's words, and he couldn't help but be moved on the throne, Huo Ran stood up and said: "Is this true? ”

"That's right, there are documents from the southeastern country as evidence, and their envoys are in the minister's mansion!" Ashvera replied, and he said solemnly: "The minister congratulates the king, please send troops quickly." ”

"Hahaha, great, great!" Rajsingh II excitedly left his seat and paced around the hall.

The news he received made him very happy!

The Southeastern Army seized the port area of Galle, and the local Dutch retreated!

Jaffna, on the north coast of Ceylon, was captured by the South-Eastern Army, and the local Portuguese retreated!

All the European whiteskins in Ceylon have been abandoned, the whiteskins have left, and there is not a single whiteskin on the whole island of Ceylon!

Elsewhere, Jaenna is no small few, and its recapture has made Rajsingh II enough to leave a great name in the history of Ceylon, no wonder he was overjoyed!

It turns out that there are Sinhalese people who believe in Buddhism and Tamils who believe in the three major theological religions on Ceylon, and the two races are not harmonious, and there are many Sinhalese people on the island, but the Tamils have a large Tamil ethnic group on the Azami continent on the other side of the sea, so neither of the two ethnic groups can help anyone, and they are in a situation of loving and killing each other. (The Kandyan royal family is Sinhalese and also has Tamil blood)

Among them, the city of Jaffna, inhabited by many Tamils, was historically the capital of the Tamil Kingdom and was the center of Hinduism.

It has never been under the jurisdiction of the Sinhalese and is in a state of separation.

After the arrival of the Portuguese, they captured Jaffna, and the local Tamils were not ashamed to surrender, but took advantage of the white-skinned momentum to resist the Sinhalese.

In the plan of Rajsingh II, it was easy to seize the port area of Galle, to control all parts of Ceylon, and finally to attack Jaffna.

But I didn't expect the Chinese to take back Galle Harbor and not count, but also to ask Jaffna back!

The Chinese and the European whiteskins in Ceylon made a gentleman's agreement, that the whiteskins would leave with their belongings, and the Chinese would not make any difficulties.

Everyone connected seamlessly, and even the whiteskins got off the boat here, and the Chinese landed on the side.

This is the credibility of the Chinese!

Before you go to war with your enemies, your reputation has already been spread among them.

The Chinese do what they say, they say what they say, and the white-skinned people trust them, so everyone is good.

Ceylon, the tears of the Buddha, under the intervention of the Chinese, will finally be unified!
