Chapter 159: The Ambition of a Small Country (First Update, Asking for Support)
Small countries and widows also have their own ambitions and aspirations.
For Armand Gulat, who is a Mataram Sudan, his ambition and desire are so simple, it is nothing more than to dominate the island of Kuawa. He had been so close to this dream – but in the end it had come to naught in Batavia because of the Dutch appearance. When Da Ming appeared in the South Seas, he thought it was a pearl blessing, but what he didn't expect next was that Da Ming was even more greedy than the Dutch.
"They occupy our land, they rob slaves with us, and if they can't drive the Ming people out, then in the future, they will even annex Mataram, and sooner or later, they will definitely do it!"
As Sudan's Armand Gulat does have his advantages, at least, he sees that the Qin State and the Gui State that are feudal in Guawa are bound to expand, and they will continue to expand in the South Seas like the Zhuxia of the South Seas, and as for the soil countries of the South Seas, they will inevitably become the target of their attacks and crusades, because those lords are the land of a thousand miles or a hundred miles of land, for them, expansion is a necessity for development, and the law of the jungle will eat the strong, either they annex the Nanyang land, or they will be bullied by the Nanyang land, For them, who have the advantage of force, it is natural to choose the former over the latter.
"Su Dan, but the Wang Dianguan sent by the Nanyang Propaganda Department of the Ming Dynasty has made it clear that Gui Guo is a relative of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will never sit idly by and watch other countries bully Gui Guo."
"Gui is from the Ming Dynasty, so is the whole of Java also from the Ming Dynasty? They are a bunch of robbers, a bunch of bandits! ”
Again Armand Goulat roared that the reason why he was so angry was because the so-called warden had even given him only a sentence and ordered him to withdraw his troops.
That's right, it was the order to withdraw his troops!
He is the supreme sudan, a loyal servant of the pearl, and when it is his turn, it will be the turn of the Ming people to order him.
"After I conquer Batavia, Ben Sudan will fight again to the capital of the Ming Kingdom, and make those heretics pay for what they have done."
Arrogance to the extreme!
This thought came to Hong Yixun's heart, and he even said coldly in his heart, Armand Gurart didn't know what he was talking about at all, he didn't know, for the Nanyang Propaganda Division, their arrogance came from the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was their arrogant capital, as for him, how could he Armand Goulatt have that arrogant capital?
Not to mention that it hit the Ming Dynasty, even a small Anping set, it was repeatedly attacked, and finally lost thousands of soldiers, and had to bypass there, as for the moment, although the 180,000 army surrounded Xinhengzhou, but attacked for six days in a row, the loss of troops and 10,000 people, instead of capturing the city, it let the defenders in the city sneak attack several times.
When it comes to marching and fighting, this Nanyang barbarian is far from the Celestial Empire!
"Su Dan, the people of Gui rely on firearms, one is a strong city, as long as we insist on besieging the city, the people of Gui will definitely surrender the city in the end!"
180,000 people!
Even in Gui Kingdom, the population, including slaves, is not so large, but the problem is that the castles and canals built by the Dutch have become an insurmountable obstacle for the Matarans.
"There is no problem with besieging the city, it is the dry season now, there is no need to think about heavy rain and disease, but the Ming people are treacherous, and Gui State also sent people to Qin State and other countries to ask for help, in case they have reinforcements to come, we have to guard against it."
Armand Goulart sneered.
"What if they have reinforcements? Are we still afraid of them? We have an army of 180,000, do they? ”
180,000 troops!
Again, Armand Goulart mentioned this number, and once upon a time, he thought that these 180,000 troops could drown the people of Gui with a single spit, but now they were blocked by the canals and castles built by the Dutch around Batavia.
"Mr. Egger, if Gui's musket team goes out of the city, your musket team can defeat them, right?"
Armand Goulart to a European human.
"Great Su Dan, my friends and others, will always be the sword in your hand, willing to defeat all enemies for you!"
Egger was an Englishman, originally a sailor, but a few years earlier he had come to Mataran and, lured by his wealth, had joined his friends to train muskets and artillery for Armand Goulart, even though he claimed that he could defeat all enemies. However, he himself has no bottom in his heart. After all, he had already seen the musket team of the Gui people, and even seen the captured muskets, compared to the arquebuses they used, the flintlock muskets of the Gui people were extremely good, plus they were all well trained, Iger preferred to believe that if the king of Gui had been a little more courageous, perhaps with the troops defending the city, he would be able to inflict heavy losses on these natives in the field.
Of course, Iger himself had already found a way out for himself, and he even had an Arabian horse that he had bought at a high price, perhaps in normal times, that horse was his mount to show his status, but if he failed, he would immediately ride away, flee to the rainforest or a certain village, and when the war was over, he could leave from the ports of Gui or Qin, and go to Nantianmen, where there were ships from various countries, from which he could leave.
Of course, Armand Goulart didn't know what Iger thought, he glanced in the direction of Xinhengzhou, and then said.
"Siege again! From today onwards, don't give the people of Guiguo time to breathe! ”
Again, the war drums sounded, and the horses outside the city of Xinhengzhou shouted and gathered, some of them from the rainforest barbarians, even with necklaces made of finger bones around their necks, Bai Sensen's phalanges were lined with dark chests extremely terrifying, they beat the cowhide drums, blew the horns, and the dull drums and trumpets echoed around Xinhengzhou.
Amid the sound of drums and trumpets, the native soldiers gathered there with a variety of weapons, shouting and howling.
Although the team of more than 100,000 people gathered and seemed to be huge, for the defenders of Xinhengzhou, they did not feel the slightest fear, and even they felt a little ridiculous.
Compared with the army of the Central Plains, the Mada Blue Soil Soldiers not only did not have uniforms of the same color, but also had no formation to speak of. It's not even as good as the rogue of the Li thief more than ten years ago.
It's just that although the chaos is like a crowd of people rushing to the market, but no one can laugh, the scene of more than 100,000 people can be described as a sea of people, Zhang Fengyang, who was standing on the city wall, couldn't help frowning again at this army, from the first time he saw this army, he knew that he had made a mistake.
The reason why Mataran is the number one power in the archipelago is because of this chaotic army, although it is like a rogue who is chaotic, it is those rogue who can enter the capital. In the past hundred years, the territory of the Mataran Kingdom has continued to expand, destroying one princely state after another, and it is not these native soldiers that rely on it?
Absolute numerical superiority, which can be overwhelming, at least to some extent.
But Zhang Fengyang underestimated the enemy, firstly, he thought that with the prestige of the Ming Dynasty covered there, the Tuguo would never dare to offend them easily, and secondly, he felt that the Turen soldiers were not to be afraid, even if they had a numerical advantage, it was meaningless.
However, when more than 100,000 native soldiers appeared outside the city of Xinhengzhou, Zhang Fengyang knew what kind of mistake he had made!
"Although the world is safe, it will be dangerous to forget the war!"
Gui Guo is in Fanbang, surrounded by barbarians, and he actually forgot to fight, how stupid he is!
But what's the use of regret?
"Until today, I don't know how difficult it was for my Chinese ancestors in the pre-Qin period!"
Xu Fuyuan looked at the black crowd outside the city and couldn't help but sigh.
In the past, for him, "the road is blue, and the mountains and forests are enlightened." Fu has barbarians, so as to belong to China. It's just sixteen words in the history books, but now, he finally knows what it means behind this, and finally knows why several Chu kings died at the hands of barbarians, and knows that all the countries in Zhuxia have been broken by barbarians, and the kings are either killed or eaten for them.
What's behind Huaxia's expansion?
It's a bloody sacrifice!
It was the blood and life of the Chinese ancestors who created today's China, but I don't know how many disdainful descendants forgot the difficulties of the Chinese ancestors in expanding their careers, and even forgot the original intention of Zhou Li.
In this way, how can the people not rebel?
At this moment, Xu Fuyuan seemed to understand why His Majesty ordered people to reinterpret Zhou rites, reread Confucian scriptures, and "not be taboo with ancestors". Because I read the book wrong for 2,000 years, I don't know that the environment in which the "Zhou Li" is implemented is different.
Naturally, it is necessary to bow to the people, but how can they blindly bow to those uneducated barbarians like those outside the city?
Xu Fuyuan let out a long sigh, his gray beard fluttering in the wind, his eyes were fixed on the outside of the city, and then he said to his son beside him.
"Ping'er, after the Gui State defeated the barbarians this time, my father will stay here for a long time, Your Majesty will divide the Xia in Nanyang, it is really for me to have the qi of China for the next thousand years, I am a Xia person, how can I sit in my hometown, and I have no ancestors' enterprising heart?"
Xu Kaiping looked at his father, his eyes were full of horror, he didn't expect his father to make such a decision at this time, but as a son, all he could choose was to obey.
"The child knows, after the barbarians retreat, the child will write to his wife, asking him to bring his son here and serve his father for a long time."
Xu Kaiping didn't know what his choice meant to the Xu family, but thousands of years ago, when King Zhou divided Zhuxia, it was such a family that scattered around the country with Zhuxia, and finally formed today's China.
As soon as Xu Kaiping's words fell, someone over there immediately rejoiced.
"Haha, if the king knows that Duke Xu is willing to move to my Gui Kingdom, he will be very happy, Duke Xu, please rest assured, today we will do our best, so that Duke Xu can educate us here with peace of mind......"
