At the same time, more than a dozen round-bottomed galleys suitable for sailing in the offshore shoals pierced through the fog of the early morning sea and landed on the tidal flats at the entrance to the Straits of Johor with a bang.

The style of these round bottom galleys is somewhat similar to that of the Arakanes, with a low freeboard brig and can be used with both galleys, making them ideal for shallow waters. For the Ming Dynasty, which has a long coastline, this kind of ship suitable for offshore activities is very practical, not only the main ship of the Naval Division of the coastal provinces (equivalent to the coast guard), but also the Ming Navy, which is mainly responsible for performing tasks in the open sea, is also equipped with a large number of such brigs with a load of tens of tons and hundreds of tons, the number of as many as three or four hundred!

And this kind of small boat in the Ming Navy has three main roles, one is to act as a mortar gunboat - the ship's flowering bomb has actually appeared a long time ago, but before the appearance of woodpipe fuses and wooden bullet stocks, flowering shells can not be on large ships, only on small gunboats. In this way, even if there is an accident, the loss is relatively small. And the dinghy could not be equipped with a heavy cannon, so it had to be mounted on the mortar.

Such boats, equipped with large-caliber mortars, were of course useless in a decisive battle of the fleet, but they could be used to bombard the enemy's coastal cities and harbors.

The second is to act as a frigate in a decisive battle of the fleet to prevent the approach of the opponent's arsonist ships or mortar boats.

The third is to act as a landing ship hull. Just like now, carrying the righteous teachers of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty rushed to the beachhead of Johor!

The battalion officer of the 1st Battalion of the Duke of Daming Renan's Escort Regiment, the old Degao Yamamoto Shigesumi, is now aboard a two-masted galleys of seventy or eighty tons (deadweight tons). As soon as the bottom of the ship hit the tidal flats, he was the first to jump from the deck into waist-deep water. I saw that he was wearing a faded red cloth short coat, a pair of shorts on his lower body, a cuirass on the outside of the short battle suit, a helmet on his head, and a white background back flag on his back, with four big characters on it - Teacher of Benevolence and Righteousness!

This is the true teacher of righteousness!

The officers and men of the battalion who came down from the boat with Yamamoto were all short Japanese samurai, and the islanders were more able to endure seasickness, and even after more than 2,000 miles at sea (they set off from Nakhon Thammarat Province), they were still able to get ready for the landing battle.

Oh, it should be put into the landing...... Because there was no war.

"Ringan 1st Battalion! Take the company as a team, and the phalanx formation! ”

Shigesumi Yamamoto held a katana and shouted at the top of his voice, his old eyes full of tears. Because the front of the beachhead is quiet and peaceful, there are no heavily armed Johor national soldiers, only large coconut groves.

He looked back again, and the fog on the sea had almost dispersed, and the figure of the Ming Dynasty ship that was carrying out the landing mission was clearly recognizable. Medium-sized "state and county" galleons (birdboats) are cruising the perimeter, larger Pacific galleons (also hardsails) are being transferred, and large numbers of soldiers are climbing down the rope nets and up to small sampans – not all of the landing force can go straight to the beach in light galleys, which are limited in number, and only about 30 of them have followed the landing fleet south, half of which are used here on the northern shore of the Straits of Johor and half on the beachhead of Marcy Island.

At this time, there were no other ships on the sea except for these gunboats, transport ships and landed sampans of the Ming army!

The raid on Johor seems to be half the battle!

Shigesumi Yamamoto didn't know that this seemingly clever roundabout landing had actually hit the enemy's heavily defended fist. In the city of Johor, about 130 miles from the landing site, 13,000 elite soldiers from the four sultanates of Johor, Aceh, Perak and Pattani were stationed at this time, as well as 3,000 or 4,000 mercenaries (mainly bumiputeras) of the East India Company from the Malacca fortress.

And 900 miles away at the mouth of the Klang River, there is a powerful Dutch fleet hidden!

As the assault force in this landing operation, Yamamoto's 1st Ringan Battalion and the 1st Battalion of Yixing belonging to the Yixing Gong Guard Regiment had already completed the beachhead assembly at this time, and formed an eight-company phalanx on the beachhead.

These eight companies were all "hematite artillery troops", all of which were three rows of flintlock pistols and one row of pikes, and most of the soldiers were samurai from Japan.

In order to motivate them to fight hard, Emperor Zhu had already issued a large number of titles of viscount, baron, and scholar - at worst, a shi, who could have a fief of one mile square, that is, 400 acres.

At this time, Yamamoto was already standing in front of the phalanx of the four companies of the 1st Battalion of Ringan, and began to give orders loudly: "The 1st Company, the 2nd Company, occupy the woods directly ahead, then cut down trees, set up barricades, dig trenches, and prepare to hold on!"

The 3rd and 4th Companies followed the officer and searched due north...... Remember, we are all teachers of benevolence and righteousness, we must practice benevolence and righteousness, and we are not allowed to kill indiscriminately without the order of our own officials! Don't let it go! ”

"Hay!"

A group of warriors who couldn't resist the murderous aura for a long time replied loudly, and it seemed that they were really very benevolent!

......

Dashun ruled for 15 years, the seventh day of the seventh month of July, the Qixi Festival, Miaowu City.

Inside and outside the palace, the battle had ended, and it had been hastily cleaned up, and the dense corpses that had once piled up outside the walls of the palace where the fierce battle had taken place before had now been removed as much as possible. The corpses within the palace walls were even cleared and pulled out of the city to be buried. It's just that there are traces of smoke and fire in the gunholes on the palace wall, but they can't be covered up for a while.

The benevolent and righteous division of Dashun is now the master of Myo-go City, and the battle to raid Myo-go began three days ago. It first unfolds at Poki Island at the mouth of the Myoo River, which is the gateway to Myaogo Castle. The island was home to Western-style forts and forts, and was garrisoned by elite Portuguese mercenaries.

Li Jicheng knew that Poki Island was difficult to capture by storming, so he used a trick to let several Arakanese sailing ships go first, pretending to run aground near Poki Island, attracting the Portuguese, and then suddenly attacked and disarmed them. Subsequently, under the leadership of this group of Portuguese, the warriors of Dashun raided and captured the fortress and fort of Poki Island. The whole process went so smoothly that it didn't even hit a single shot. So Myaowu Castle didn't know that disaster was coming!

This was followed by a raid, with the target being a dam on the Myaogo River.

The reason why Myau Castle in the Arakan Kingdom is difficult to attack is not only because the castle is particularly strong and a lot of granite was used to build it, but also because it can be attacked by water when the enemy is besieging the castle!

The location of Myau Castle may have been a wetland or lake, at an elevation slightly below the nearby river, but the Arakanese built a dam to block the incoming water, drained the wetland, and built Myoo Castle on a plateau in the middle of the wetland.

Once the dam is opened, the river will flood the area around Myoo Castle and turn it into a castle in a lake, and of course there will be no way to attack it. More than 100 years ago, the reason for the defeat of the Mangruiti army was that the dam was not controlled and was flooded by the defenders.

So seizing the dam is the second key to conquering Myaou!

Because the defenders of the dam were completely unprepared, the raid also went very well! After a short but fierce battle, the dam was given to the heavenly soldiers of Da Shun.

However, the battle on the dam alarmed the defenders of Myau U, and the general who defended the city ran into the palace where the wedding was taking place in a panic and reported the bad news that the Mughals were coming—the general did not understand the situation, and thought that Aurangzeb had called!

King Tanma, the monk had no choice but to interrupt his wedding, and under the adoring gaze of his newlywed wife Li Anna, he went into battle and led his troops out of the city to fight Li Ji!

But where are the defenders of Miaowu City, who have not been in battle for many years (although Aurangzeb is quite scary to show his teeth and claws, but he has not yet freed his hands to fight Akakan) who have been in battle for a long time? As soon as they fought, they were defeated and lost, and the two or three hundred Dashun dead soldiers who stayed in Miaowu City to "protect the princess" also attacked in the city.

As a result, the monk Du Tanma, who was defeated in the field battle, even saved the city and could only rely on the palace wall for desperate resistance. However, at this time, he had deeply realized his mistake, was moved by Dashun's benevolence and righteousness, and decided to join the glorious Dashun Heavenly Dynasty......
