Chapter 275: Revival Inc. in Evolution
"When! While! "The big bronze bell of Pattani Port was ringed, and a three-masted fast warship with its sails lowered sailed into the not very prosperous Pattani Port.
The reason why it is not so prosperous is that the port has actually become a port with the nature of a military port.
The naval warships belonging to the Fuxing Company are basically docked here, whether they are Western galleons or Chinese-style fortune ships and red single ships.
Oh yes! The current Pattani is no longer called Pattani, but has been changed to the Chinese name Beifu.
The nearby Kuala Terengganu was also directly changed to Terengganu, Pahang was renamed Pengzhou, and Selangoram I became Lanzhou.
Not only the names of the states have changed, but the names of the counties have also been changed, and names such as Guala xxxx, which bear the imprint of the indigenous, are all gone.
It was the nineteenth day of the lunar month in 1787, and when the three-masted fast battleship Brave sailed into the harbor with a blue background and gold sun and moon flag symbolizing the Navy of the Renaissance Company, the whole port was thunderous with joy.
Originally, it was said that the chief was going to take his wife back to Beifu to celebrate the Spring Festival by the way, but now it seems to be true.
The current Fuxing Company is a great existence in Nanyang, not only occupying Beifu, Pengzhou, Lanzhou, and Terengganu, but also monopolizing the sugar industry in Nanyang.
In addition, the Nanyang Police Army, which was established at the beginning of the year, also swelled very much, with an army of 15,000 infantry and artillery combined, four Daifuku ships with 1,500 materials, and three armed Galen ships purchased from the Dutch.
Although the training is not very good, it also depends on who you compare with, the Dutch, the English, and the Ye family's own armed forces, the police force is definitely not comparable, but it is not difficult to fight a dozen indigenous sultans.
In just seven months since its founding, from Borneo to Java to Sulawesi and Sumatra, which indigenous sultan has not been educated by the police force? No!
This army was busier than the army directly under the Fuxing Company led by Ye Kai, and it was fighting with Luo Fangbo for the Xindang natives of Xingang, and they were directly beaten to the destruction of the country.
The Sultan of Wanna, who was originally supported by the Dutch, was also sold directly by the Dutch for 300,000 taels of silver plus half of the Sultan's treasury.
As soon as the secret contract was signed, the Dutch soldiers left on the front foot, and the army and police army of Lan Fangguo suddenly appeared outside the royal city of the Sultan of Wanna, and then there was no suspense about life and death
This is the consequence of being a dog, the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooks, the birds hide their bows, and after the Dutch can't get oil and water from Lanfang Company, they directly sell their lackey Wanna Sultan, take the money and leave.
In Borneo now, except for the powerful Sultanate of Brunei, it is basically occupied by Lanfang Company.
Even the Sultanate of Aceh, which gave the Dutch a headache, gave the police a beating stick.
These Cham people, who fled to Sumatra after the fall of the Champa state, established the powerful Sultanate of Aceh here.
Strangely, after these Cham people arrived in Nanyang, they turned into fanatical green cultists, and in later generations they were the only place in Nanyang where YSL Shariah was practiced as law.
The Dutch, on the other hand, had long wanted to pull out the nail, but several attacks were abandoned because they were too uneconomical.
And the Aceh Sultan Salahuddin who repelled the Dutch. Sand. Siya floated, he actually detained the merchant ships of the Fuxing Company passing by, and refused to let go of the goods without saying anything.
In the end, the combined forces of the police and the Dutch captured the capital Kota Raja Banda Aceh, and they had to release the people to pay for it.
If it weren't for Ye Kai's desire to leave a difficult opponent for the Dutch, he wouldn't be able to redeem Kota Raja with money alone.
After this battle, the police force became famous, and the natives everywhere changed color when they heard it, and even such a ruthless character as the Sultanate of Aceh could only be softened, not to mention others!
Through the outstretched hand of the police force, the Fuxing Company successfully became the top spot of the Nanyang Chinese, no matter who was bullied by the natives, they would come to the Fuxing Company, and gradually, the Fuxing Company also had the ability to mobilize the Chinese forces in various places.
Up to now, although I dare not say that I am like an arm, the Fuxing Company has the ability to mobilize the strength of the local Chinese anywhere in Nanyang, and in time, the Chinese in various places will become branches of the Fuxing Company, and finally become a member of the Ye family's kingdom.
And Ye Kai's plan to use white sugar and rock sugar to defeat the Brazilian sugar industry has also been a great success!
White as snow, the sweeter Marquis sugar easily drove Brazilian sugar, which was inferior in quality and appearance, out of the main European market.
If it weren't for the trade barriers that were very common in this era, Marquis sugar would have occupied the entire European market long ago.
The onslaught of the Marquis Sugar has led to a wail in Brazil's sugar mills this year, and according to the Dutch, many Brazilian sugar mill owners have closed their sugar mills and put slave labor into coffee and rubber plantations.
Moreover, in the future, the biggest competitor of sugar cane, the German scientists who cultivated sugar beets suitable for boiling sugar, no longer existed, and the Brazilian sugar industry began to turn to coffee and rubber again, and the era of Chinese monopoly on the sugar industry is coming!
Ye Kai really likes this era so much, the Spaniards are surviving, the Dutch are dying, the French themselves are not protecting, the British are busy occupying India to the maximum, and soon, the emperor wants to pull all the forces of all the European powers back to Europe.
The powerful tigers have no time to take care of him, and it just so happens that his developing monkey is the king, and when the tigers come back to their senses, they will find that the monkey that was originally quietly dominating has also developed into a tiger.
And the situation in Quang Nam also made Ye Kai a little more relaxed, because he and Ruan Phuc Anh had reconciled to a certain extent.
The reason was a secret conversation between him and Yan Zilu, and Yan Zilu only used one sentence to make Ye Kai decide to reconcile with Ruan Fuying temporarily.
Yan Zilu said to him, how can you work hard to plant peach trees, how can you pick peaches directly?
Although Ruan Phuc Anh is more crotch-pulling in the military, he is still very skillful in other aspects.
Their Ruan family is also the king of Quang Nam for more than a hundred years, and it may not be possible to fight against Ruan Hui, but developing people's livelihood and rebuilding social organization and order are completely incomparable to Ye Kai!
Anyway, he has a military advantage, so why not wait until Nguyen Phuc Anh has developed Quang Nam well and come directly to pick peaches?
Although Ye Kai had to send Olivier. Morality. Piman went to train a new army for Ruan Phuc Ying, and the training effect was very good, but Ye Kai knew that sooner or later these troops would be his own.
Of course, it's not because it's the people around him who train the soldiers, of course Nguyen Phuc Anh won't be so stupid, Olivier is just a training officer, and it's still Nguyen Phuc Anh's people who command and control it.
The reason why Ye Kai is so sure is because what is the most important thing in the new army? It's not training or whether there are guys in hand, it's logistical supplies!
Nguyen Phuc Anh's only arsenal, the arsenal that Peter had painstakingly helped him build in Sattahip, capable of producing guns and ammunition, had been swallowed up by Rama I.
He doesn't have any factories now, let alone guns and bullets, and he can't even make qualified gunpowder.
As far as his poor stock is concerned, it will be gone after the First Great War, and without guns and ammunition, I am afraid that the flintlock pistol in his hand is not as good as a wooden stick.
Therefore, no matter how many Western-style troops Ruan Phuc Ying has trained, as long as he pinches the supplies, he will either take the old way to play with cold weapons, or just wait for the cooking!
Ye Kai is different, his small arsenal in Beifu, which relies on Jenna to provide technology and workers, has already begun to operate, although the annual output of flintlock guns is only a pitiful more than a thousand, but lead bullets and picric acid bombs have been able to be mass-produced.
And he was able to buy spot from the arsenal in Calcutta and the Batavia arsenal in the Dutch.
Ruan Phuc Ying is not good, in history he has the support of He Xiwen and other Chinese pirates and the sea forces of the Heaven and Earth Society. Mali. Darjo had a good navy and merchant fleet under his command, and he could trade around.
But now, these people and boats are all gone, and Ruan Phuc Anh has no hair except for some offshore galleys, so what can he take to Batavia and other places to buy weapons?
Now Ye Kai can block Ruan Fuying at any time as long as he is willing, this kind of military weak chicken who basically does not pose much threat, let him help plant the fields, isn't it fragrant?
