Outside the city of Pattani, the dust was flying, and thousands of soldiers marched in a fairly neat line, they formed an extremely wide horizontal formation at one time, and then transformed into small phalanxes, and then some small phalanxes began to assault, some were covering, and some moved towards the enemy's flank.

Ye Kai looked at all this with satisfaction, these seven thousand five hundred people can be said to be quite elite, whether in terms of morale or training and equipment.

Among them, Ye Kai had the most high hopes for the grenadier team of that company, who were equipped with picric acid grenades, which were also secret weapons, and were developed by Alexander Brown, the world-famous marshal of the emperor and the father of grenadiers. Shire. Oudino Command!

Ye Kai's eyes looked at the hill again, Liu Chongli was still holding gauze in his left hand and was already charging with the soldiers, after fleeing back from Johor in embarrassment, Ye Kai looked at this second young master of the Liu family who was three or four years younger than him, this is a veritable ruthless person!

Ye Kai felt that if he was allowed to go to the battlefield to fight him, he could do it, but directly cut off one of his fingers, Ye Kai shook his head, he definitely couldn't do it, he would rather die in battle, and he would be so ruthless to himself, this is completely self-harm!

This Liu Chongli is probably the kind of person Ye Kai has heard of, the kind of natural warrior, a natural butcher, very ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to himself, belonging to the brave man on the narrow road!

Remembering the scene that Liu Chongli told him about Sultan Ibrahim being angry and going crazy, Ye Kai wanted to laugh a little.

The reason why he would send someone to insult Sultan Ibrahim like this was because Ye Kai knew from the intelligence analysis he had collected that this guy was a reckless man with a hot brain, and he was full of thoughts about how invincible the Bugis had a glorious past.

It's already the end of the eighteenth century, and he often touts the Bugis in the seventeenth century!

Although people can easily do xxxxxx when they are angry!

Well, for a man like Ibrahim Sultan, he is arrogant and inferior, and he is arrogant because he is still immersed in the past glory of the Bugis, and he can't see the fact that the Bugis are now in decline.

The inferiority complex is due to the fact that the territory of the Bugis has been shrinking, and the war with the Dutch is always more lost and won less, and Ibrahim found that the gap between himself and the white people of Europa is too great, and they are much stronger than him in every aspect, which makes Ibrahim Sultan doubt his Bugis traditions.

Such a person is already fragile and sensitive in his heart, and he must not bear the words that Ye Kai deliberately asked Liu Chongli to say.

So Ye Kai's purpose has been achieved, Sultan Ibrahim has forcibly issued a mobilization order without waiting for the Dutch's supplies and artillery to arrive, and is currently gathering soldiers and collecting grain and grass, and it is estimated that he will soon have a big battle with him!

This is also Ye Kai watching people put down dishes and bullying the Bugis people without this knowledge, if this Ibrahim Sultan is a deep old yin pen like Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande, and being insulted is not incompetent and angry, but turning grief and anger into strength and formulating a more careful plan, Ye Kai will never dare to play this trick!

"Mingjin, let's gather, let all the soldiers rest for seven days, after seven days we will go to avenge the dead relatives, and on my son's birthday, let the officers above the squad come to my house for a banquet, and the soldiers will serve food for three days!" Ye Kai said to Ah Shan beside him.

This former Baba servant of their family is no longer the sloppy ghost he used to be, and now Ah Shan is already the deputy director of the Fuxing Hall Staff Department of the Fuxing Company, of course, his main task is to follow Ye Kai.

Today is actually not Xiao Tuanzi's birthday, his third birthday will be three months later, and now Ye Kai has advanced him.

First, he is going to give Xiaotuanzi a big name, and Ye Kai also needs to find an opportunity to envelop all the officers from high to low, and unify their thinking with himself on the same path.

The second is that after Ye Kai came back, he abolished the Ye family soldier system formulated in accordance with the Beiyang Army system before he left, and the so-called organizational structures such as standards and sheds have all been replaced by Western-style divisions, regiments, battalions, and platoons.

Ye Kai is also preparing to fully introduce the Western-style military rank system and establish a complete military organization, which of course needs to be communicated with the officers.

。。。。

Kuala Terengganu, Kemaman County, the terrain of the whole Kuala Terengganu is high in the west and low in the east, the mountains are stretched in the west, and the coastal plain is leaning on the South China Sea in the east.

Kemaman is the southernmost district of Kuala Terengganu, bordering Pahang, the stronghold of the Bugis people, and is the best way to get to Pahang, with all other trails going over the mountains.

Ye Kai didn't want to be like Ye Futai and the others, leading his clan soldiers over the Cameron Plateau, which was more than 1,000 meters high, to attack Pahang.

What is said to be unexpected, it is simply sick, the past over the mountains and mountains, or in the tropics, the physical strength lost is not at all able to be replenished in a short time.

Not to mention that it takes more time to climb the high plains, such a method of raiding for the sake of raiding is simply sick.

Therefore, Ye Kai directly chose to take the main road, from the small town of Kamaxi in Kemaman County, less than 70 kilometers past is Kuantan, the capital of Pahang, this road is convenient for supply, the terrain is flat and there is a ready-made road, and it is extremely convenient to march.

And Ye Kai also prepared a surprise, not to cross the Cameron Plateau, but to directly intercept the Bugis near Ganmaxi, not that he sent Liu Chongli to say, waiting for the Bugis under Terengganu City, but to fight an encounter halfway.

。。。。

Huang Lao Si led five of his own battalion masters to walk through the dense jungle, and in addition to his five good men, Huang Lao Si also brought a Terengganu native with obvious Malay characteristics.

Although he is already the commander of a battalion, Huang Laosi is still willing to rush to the front, and what is even more terrifying is that the literacy standards for battalion-level officers formulated by Ye Kai, Huang Laosi feels that this is simply going to force him to death, he has a headache when he picks up the pen, and he is dizzy when he sees words.

As for the aborigine who followed, it was not right, they didn't seem to be indigenous, but quasi-Chinese.

Because this guy's family is a big family in Terengganu City, the eldest daughter of their family was given to Ye Fulai by Ye Kai, the concubine of the former Sultan of Omar.

When Ye Fulai's father-in-law, who was a few years younger than him, claimed to be a Tang man, everyone was stunned!

You have a special meow, obviously with a Malay face, and insist that you are a Tang person? Even the vernacular is stumbling and upside down, is there such a Tang person?

As a result, they took out a thick genealogy, and the genealogy recorded that this family was really the queen of the Tang Dynasty.

This is a descendant of the Sailor Baihu surnamed Zhong, who belonged to the Three Treasures Eunuch Treasure Boat Fleet, and the genealogy records that the Baihu surnamed Zhong was wounded in the battle and finally had to stay in Dingjiayi, which is now Terengganu to recuperate.

He later married the daughter of a local indigenous chief, and has lived here ever since.

The genealogy of Chinese characters can be traced back to the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and later descendants gradually integrated into the local area due to continuous mixing with the indigenous people, and the genealogy has also become recorded in the local language.

What's the matter, do you accept it? Although the natives are natives if they have benefits, and the Tang people are Tang people if they have benefits, they do have genealogy as evidence, and more importantly, the Ye family can now use these natives.

For example, Huang Laosi wanted to expel the scouts scattered by the Bugis in the jungles of Kemaman County, and he needed this indigenous person to lead the way, after all, the Chinese are mainly concentrated in coastal ports and towns, and rarely come to these dangerous jungles, unless there are mines.

So Huang Laosi looked at Ye Kai and pinched his nose, and recognized the identity of this indigenous Tang family, but they were only reserve Tang people, Ye Kai allowed their clansmen to take simple Chinese and Analect exams, as long as they could pass it, and those who did not believe in Tianfang Sect could be certified as Tang people.

As for those who can't pass the exam, then you can continue to stay up as an aborigine, this is already a big concession, that is, the Baba among the Chinese, except for the first generation, that is, the Baba who has only mixed one generation, the others don't even have the opportunity to take the exam!
