Wang Jia participated in the war, a year later was promoted from a herald to a non-commissioned officer, two years later was recommended by Ding Yalou to become an officer, and then worked hard in the army, successively served as platoon commander, company commander, battalion commander, regiment commander, brigade commander, division commander and other military positions, and finally retired as a lieutenant general.

I have to say that during his long military career, he has been writing for the "Army Military Newspaper" and writing about his military career, which has helped him a lot as a farmer's son with a shallow foundation but a high position.

The boss above wants to see how far he can write, as long as he makes meritorious service, he will be promoted from excellent merit.

In the end, he wrote the long historical book "Fifty Years in the Army", which records his experience from Southeast Asia to West Asia, and then to Africa and Europe.

A few years later, when he and Qiu Fengji from the same village sat under a tree in the dry rest house to enjoy the coolness, both of them had achieved fame, looking back on their lives, they had not spent their lives in vain, and they had made great contributions in their respective fields.

……

Bajang City.

This is the capital of the predecessor of the country of Ba Zhang, the country of Mada Lan Sudan, with a long history and many developments, there are many stone buildings in the city, as well as spacious squares and stone roads, which are rare and valuable for the rainy Southeast Asia.

The tall minaret stands majestically, and when the hour comes, the bells ring in one piece, summoning the faithful to pay homage.

The royal palace in the east of the city is not large, but it is quite exquisite, the white marble for the palace, paved with a precious carpet bought from distant West Asia, this area is high, the peaks on both sides are mixed, the wind is very strong, very cool, so even if the temperature is hot, the carpet is not considered to be B.

The king of all men, Sudan Agung, sat on his throne, and he had a majestic beard, gray hair, and his roots stood on end, and he looked fierce.

In front of him stood five people, namely his brother Rumpu, and the generals Gurani, Nasr, and Amin, all of whom were the main generals of the Chinese city of Java, and the other main general, Abdullah, was shot with a musket.

The king of all men, Sultan Agung, was a little haggard, which was an extremely rare thing for him who had always been high-spirited, after all, he had been domineering over the years, occupying Central Java and West Java, Kalimantan Peninsula, and attacking the Dutch in Batavia twice, and the Dutch could not retaliate, but had to be kind to him.

The Chinese are different, hearing that tens of thousands of Chinese people went out to fight horses and baskets, Agung couldn't help but have cramps on his face, this matter is not trivial, plus the opponent's giant ship cannons, and the tactics are extremely right, they are attacking the coast, not entering the inland, and the threat to the horse basket Sudan country is great!

As far as Agung was concerned, the Dutch were few and far between, but the Chinese with guns were extraordinary.

He pointed to the minister standing on the right side of the temple, Hasani, and said, "You say! ”

Hasani bowed to Agung and said, "Your Majesty, I have contacted the Java Governor's Office in the southeast province at your behest to ask the two families to negotiate peace, and the result is ......"

Everyone pricked up their ears to listen, and Hassani said: "They will neither reply nor stop the war!" ”

That is to choose war!

Sultan Agung regretted in his heart, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Chinese had just occupied Batavia and had not yet gained a firm foothold to attack the Chinese, but he did not expect to end the battle at the beginning, but let the southeastern army occupy the moral high ground!

People have good guns and ships, and they can fight as much as they want.

Of course! If the southeastern army continues to fight, Sutan Agung has a plan in his heart, as long as he retreats inland, with the advantage of time and place, the opponent will fight in the jungle, and they will be able to bear it.

But what about "people"?

The so-called from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, horses and baskets over the years through trade to get a lot of wealth, many people wear gold and silver, enjoy the silk plus the appearance and drink wine, I am afraid that it is not so easy to insist on fighting.

As a matter of fact, Sultan Agung proposed peace talks to the Chinese as soon as he lost the attack, and continued to demand peace talks in the coastal areas where the Chinese attacked Ma Da Basket, but the Chinese did not accept the good intentions.

"Since they want to fight, we will let them go and never return!" Sultan Agung said sharply: "Use the treasury to contact the Dutch to buy their guns and ammunition, and at the same time tell the Dutch that the two families will cooperate against the Chinese, and after the matter is completed, they will be allowed to divide Java equally!" ”

Will he divide Java equally with the Dutch? Of course it can't be, but it's just to coax the Dutch.

In the same way, the Dutch will also deceive them, and everyone will deceive them.

The plan was decided, and Sultan Agung reorganized his armament for battle, and then he found that the army and marines of the Southeast Army had withdrawn, and he could not find them if he wanted to fight them, leaving only the fleet cruising on the sea, blocking the coastline of the country of Sultan.

Capturing and sinking the ships of the Horse Basket Sudan Kingdom, cutting off its foreign trade, the Horse Basket Sudan Kingdom entered a miserable period, and the King of Ten Thousand People could no longer dominate everyone!

……

The main force of the Southeast Detachment Fleet under the Java Governor's Palace, including six battleships, fifteen cruisers, and eight supply ships, entered a state of voyage under the leadership of Governor Tran Duc to take the Spice Islands!

In addition, there are twenty southeastern provinces and hired red-haired boats behind, full of personnel and materials, all of them are red-eyed, ready to make a fortune!

The Spice Islands in Asia are generally referred to as the East Indies (Indonesia), and are a generic name for the spice-rich islands in Southeast Asia by European countries around the 15th century AD. It illustrates the thirst for oriental spices in Europe at that time, and was a direct cause of the Age of Discovery.

The precise definition is the Maluku archipelago, which is located in the northeastern part of Indonesia, between the islands of Sulawesi and Irian and crossed by an equator, covering an area of more than 74,000 square kilometers and consisting of about 1,000 small islands.

The climate here is hot, humid and rainy, suitable for the growth of spice crops, and it is one of the main spice producing areas in the East, and has long been known as the "spice islands". The spices produced are well-known for their excellent texture and rich fragrance.

The Moluccas, along with the nearby Banda Islands, are the most legendary islands, with the former contributing every clove to the world until the beginning of the 16th century, and the latter being the only producer of nutmeg at the time.

The so-called spices refer to condiments such as cardamom, pepper, and cloves. What they all have in common is that they have a strong aroma, they have preservative properties, and they are not produced in most of Europe.

At that time, because there was no refrigerator, it was not easy for Europeans to preserve meat, although meat could also be preserved with salt, but the taste was far less delicious than that with spices, not only salty but also not easy to chew, and the long-stored salted meat could be used as a brick to smash people.

Spices are one of the earliest commodities in international trade. In the early 17th century, a shipload of spices from the Spice Islands cost only about £3,000 and sold to the British market worth more than £36,000.

In 1512, the Portuguese occupied the Maluku Islands. After that, the Spaniards and the Dutch followed. After fierce competition, by the 17th century, the Maluku Islands fell into the hands of the Dutch East India Company.

The Dutch East India Company broke its heart for spices, and in the 17th and 20s of the 17th century, it monopolized the Banda Islands through bloody massacres, so as to obtain a monopoly on nutmeg production, and then obtained a monopoly on the clove trade by destroying clove trees and cracking down on smuggling activities, and has been suppressing Southeast Asia to try to monopolize the pepper trade.

The spice trade was extremely lucrative, making millions of silver dollars a year.

With such a huge profit, the southeast government is salivating.

After conquering Batavia, Chen De was appointed to preside over military and political affairs, and he was "slow down", deliberately ignoring the affairs of the Spice Islands, and letting the demons there dance wildly, and then Shi Shiran cleaned them up.

With the seal of the Dutch, the Chinese announced on behalf of the Dutch that the interests of the "Spice Islands" would be transferred to the Chinese---- awkward and far-fetched reason, the Dutch said that we didn't know about this kind of thing?

Whether the Dutch believe it or not, anyway, the Chinese believe it, whoever dares to steal our interests, we will fight whom!

This shameless search for a reason for war by the Chinese was later known to all countries, so that after a certain force collapsed--- it was known that it was the hand of the Chinese, and the surrounding forces were actually unmanned in the area, so as to avoid being found by the southeast government as an excuse for war!

Really, everyone is vegetarian and has become a San? So peace-loving?!
