Chapter 169: Sweeping the South Seas

After the unification of the south, Xia Xue found that the Angel Kingdom was relatively short of oil resources, high-quality iron ore, and copper ore, and these resources were the most needed for Xia Xue's scientific and technological production and development. The knowledge of later generations let her know that Indonesia, Malay, Brunei and other places in Southeast Asia are rich in oil, Australia is rich in high-quality iron ore and copper ore, and Australia has a vast territory, flat land, mild climate, sufficient heat, fertile soil, convenient irrigation, and a certain amount of rainfall, suitable for planting wheat, rice, barley, sugarcane, cotton, etc., which is very suitable for building large farms, and is also suitable for the development of animal husbandry, which is really a treasure land. Now there are a few nomadic indigenous primitive tribes on the Australian continent, which can be said to be a place with great potential. Women's land.

Before there was no internal combustion engine and propeller, Xia Xue felt that it was very difficult to go to Australia, but now that these two things have been developed by herself and have been mass-produced, there should be no problem going to Australia now.

Just when Xia Xue was planning to open up Australia, Dugu Jun, the commander of the black-clothed guards, reported to Xia Xue that there were many pirates in the South Seas recently, specializing in looting the merchant ships of the Angel Country, I heard that these pirates were secretly supported by many countries in the South Seas, and they found that there were a large number of merchant ships in the Angel Country, and the goods carried were very popular and valuable, so they were salivating, they only knew that the Angel Country was very rich, it was an emerging continent country, and they didn't know whether it was strong, and they were currently secretly supporting pirates to loot with a tentative meaning.

Xia Xue was furious when she heard this, she originally had the idea of conquering the countries of the South Seas and exploiting their rich oil, coal, minerals and other resources, but she had not yet thought about which way to use, whether it was peaceful cooperative mining or violent forced mining. Now it's okay, the Nanyang countries that don't know what to do are good and bad actually underestimate the angel country and dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, then let them see the power of the angel country.

Xia Xue immediately ordered that the bearded man, Sima Chao, and Zheng Shichang lead the fleet of the Angel Kingdom to clean up the pirates who secretly supported the pirates who robbed the merchant ships of the Angel Kingdom one by one, so that they would know that the Angel Kingdom was powerful and powerful, and they would never dare to make any mistakes in the future, and then lay the foundation for the later economic development of oil and minerals.

After receiving the order, he immediately led 50 large and medium-sized warships, 5,000 navies and 5,000 marines to Indonesia, Malay, Luzon and other places, and now there are many small countries in these places, such as Sriwijaya in Malaysia, Java in Indonesia, Sumatra, Borneo, Brunei, Luzon and other countries.

On the rough sea, before dawn, the angel fleet broke the waves towards the Malay Srivijaya. Every time the foredeck sank, a warm black splash of water hit the bearded guests. Looking over, the surveillance posts were just silent figures. It was nothing more than standing on the windy, wet, swaying bridge, looking at the dark and dreary field, and there was no movement, and the time seemed long and empty.

At noon, the bearded man staggered onto the bumpy foredeck, muddled by the foam of the waves, into a bright, hot sun. Surveillance posts and guards stumbled after him in bulging life jackets. He couldn't help but glance at the blue sky where there were no clouds. After spending some time in the murky air below the cabin, the fresh sea breeze is always beautiful, especially today, because it is necessary to conquer the countries of the South Seas. Directly ahead, the dark ocean melted into the green shallows, and the foaming waves roared against the projectile islands and brown rocks. White seagulls croaked and screamed over the battleship.

Facing the sea breeze and full of pride, the bearded guest shouted the famous words of Julius Caesar, whom the queen had spoken at the angelic military academy: "I come." I see. I conquer! ”

After less than ten days of sailing, the angel fleet began to blockade the entire perimeter of the port less than four nautical miles from Palembang, Sriwijahnia, Malay, all ships were allowed to enter and leave, and all ships that disobeyed the order were sunk.

Palembang in Sriwijaya, Malaysia, is the largest port and trade center in Sriwijaya.

There must be a negotiation process before the fight, and the Sriwijaya Kingdom does not have too many troops in the entire Palembang, and they all use some primitive weapons and bows and arrows, but they still have some of their own sailors.

Although the two sides entered the wartime, the bearded man did not order an attack, but asked some local merchant ships to bring a message to the defenders here, that is, to tell the other party that the sailors of the Angel Kingdom of the Celestial Empire had come to attack the crime, and that they must hand over all the pirates and ensure that there would be no more trouble with the merchant ships of the Angel Kingdom in the future.

However, the other party has an arrogant attitude and does not sell the accounts of the bearded customers at all.

Sriwijaya has always relied on taxes from maritime trade and foreign raids for most of its income, and has never stopped invading the ships of the Angel Kingdom. What's more, the Angel Kingdom is an emerging continental country, and its name is unknown, and they don't take the Angel Kingdom in their eyes at all.

Enraged, the bearded man ordered the fleet to approach Palembang and prepare for the battle.

At this time, the Malay Sriwijaya actually organized an attack first, wanting to burn several of the bearded ships through fire attack, the bearded man sneered, ordered to open fire, a few shells passed, and the attack ships of the Sriwijaya were basically overturned.

After dealing with the Sriwijaya attack ships, the bearded man immediately ordered the ships to be arranged in a line array on the sea, with the muzzles of guns all aimed at the harbor.

With an order, the sea was suddenly covered in white smoke, and with the shaking of the warship, all the artillery under the command of Sima Chao opened fire together, and the sound was simply earth-shattering!

The first round of artillery fire directly covered all the sailors of the Sriwijaya assembled outside the port, while the target of the second round of artillery fire was the city wall behind the port! Smoke and fire mixed with broken bricks flew in all directions, which accelerated the scattered running of the soldiers who defended the city.

The shelling lasted only ten minutes before it ended, because there was nothing more to fight any further! The port docks are now a mess, there is a raging fire burning outside, all the ships of the Sriwijaya have been destroyed, and the water is full of floating corpses and people who have fallen overboard!

Look at the city wall behind the port is the same, the piece connected to the city gate has basically been blown down, the soldiers defending the city have all run away, and the dust and blood on their faces can be seen everywhere, most people are shocked to dementia, no one can figure out, the ships of the angel kingdom are just outside the port after a burst of smoke, why they are here as if they have been struck by lightning!

The perimeter of Palembang had been cleared, and the bearded men ordered the landing, and five thousand marines scrambled down into the dinghy and rowed to the harbor.

After these marines landed on land, they immediately deployed, several people formed a combat defense formation, they needed to quickly open up a landing ground in the port, although facing the primitive armed forces of the natives of the South Seas in the seventh century, these people still did a very good job of tactical movements, which was all the result of Xia Xue's strict training.

The gunfire and explosions in the city were continuous, but not very fierce, the soldiers of the Srivijaya Kingdom were basically scattered at the touch of a button, and the fiercest battle should have taken place on the outskirts of the entire palace, where the Angel Marines fought fiercely with the royal guards who were guarding the palace, and the gunfire and explosions continued.

Only half an hour later, the front came to report that the palace had been taken and the other king's search was being made!

Some angel marines were injured by the other party's poisoned arrows, "with poisoned arrows!" Damn it! ”

The Angry Angel Marines were no longer relenting, and the guards guarding the palace suffered heavy casualties, and few were killed.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Angel Kingdom were so ferocious and terrifying, they frightened the king and ministers of Sriwijaya, and they had no intention of resisting any longer, and soon sent a letter of surrender and surrendered all. The king of Sriwijaya expressed his willingness to submit to the Angel Kingdom, and in the future, he will severely punish the pirates who dare to sack the merchant ships of the Angel Kingdom, and help protect the merchant ships and merchants of the Angel Kingdom, hoping to live in friendship and peace with the Angel Kingdom.

The Malay Peninsula is a relatively large island with a large land area, although the population is not large, many places are primeval forests, and there are indigenous original inhabitants, but it is relatively rich in natural resources. After controlling the Sriwijaya Kingdom, the largest country in the Malay Peninsula, it basically controlled the entire Malay Peninsula.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the bearded man announced that he had accepted the surrender of the Srivijaya Kingdom.

When the bearded man arrived in Brunei, he found that Brunei was under siege by several other countries and was in danger, so he and Sima Chao decided to rescue Brunei.

In front of the angelic navy, the warships of these countries besieging Brunei were almost vulnerable, and soon these countries were defeated and surrendered, and the king of Brunei was grateful to the angel country and strongly demanded to become a vassal state of the angel country.

The bearded man and Sima Chao also knew that the Brunei Kingdom wanted to be protected by the Angel Kingdom, so they did not politely agree.

Let the sailors of the auxiliary naval fleet of the Angel Kingdom who came later stay in the local area to control the port and establish a military base. Then he led the angel fleet to the next South Seas country - Java, Indonesia.

Indonesia's Java is the richest region in Southeast Asia in terms of flora and fauna, and when dealing with the capital of Indonesian Java, it was a bit difficult to march through primeval forests.

Under the guidance of the local guide, they finally arrived at the capital of Java, Indonesia, and the defenders of Java, Indonesia, were also on the verge of collapse, and the bearded man soon defeated the capital of Java, and the king of Java surrendered.

Indonesia's Java is rich in gold, "don't fight a loss" is the consistent style of the bearded guest, the teacher of benevolence or something is not cold at all, he also knows that the queen is also a practical real person, do not like those false names, since this is rich in gold, of course you are welcome.

If you dare to rob the merchant ships of the Angel Country, of course, you must knock on the bamboo pole, teach a good lesson, and let the royal family of Java, Indonesia, bleed.

Through the crusade, the gold looted by the bearded people in Java, Indonesia reached 280,000 taels, which can be said to be a lot of gains, enough for several more naval war military expenses across the South Seas.

After doing this, the bearded man ordered the fleet to move westward, aiming for the port of Sumatra.

Sumatra is the place where Xia Xue pays the most attention because Sumatra is rich in oil reserves. After arriving in Sumatra, the bearded people found that the chieftains and indigenous people here were friendly to the angelic kingdom, and the flowers and fruits welcomed the arrival of the angelic kingdom's heavenly envoys, so the bearded man decided to establish a cooperative relationship with the local government, and asked to garrison troops and build a special port base.

While building a port base on Sumatra, the bearded people still continued to send warships to gradually attack various countries in the entire Malay Peninsula and the Indonesian Peninsula, including Gutai, Daruma, Yavati, Gandori, Mataran Kingdom and other scattered small countries, and those who dared to fight were directly destroyed, and then captured the young and middle-aged people of the country and transported them to Sumatra to repair ports. Those who did not dare to confront demanded that the king and chieftain of the opposing party must go to the angelic kingdom to pay tribute to Her Majesty.
