Originally, Zheng Zhilong did not have the luxury of expecting the Dragon Martial Water Master to dispatch the main force to help the Zheng family gain a foothold.

Unexpectedly, not only did Huang Yong, the commander of the Longwu Water Division, personally lead the army, but also dispatched twenty-seven large battle ships.

Zheng Zhilong also saw the sailors and marines on the warship, and when he inquired, he learned that there were two battalions of 7,000 people here.

Zheng Zhilong, who originally thought that the Zheng family was going to pay a huge price for laying a new territory, suddenly felt joy descending from the sky.

After calculating the accounts, the Longwu Naval Division dispatched nearly 18,000 people, and even brought a field hospital, so it was obvious that the "King of Hanjiang County" had no intention of deliberately weakening the Zheng family.

Originally, Zheng Zhilong always thought that the Long Wu Sailor would let the Zheng family and horses fight with pirates or Xiyi, and finally reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Who knows that looking at this posture, people have long been ready to fight big battles, evil battles, and tough battles, and it seems that they have been villains in vain.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was weak, and even so, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the huge empire of the Ming Dynasty was not at all something that a small country in Xiyi could easily shake.

In this era, I am afraid that the ten countries of Southeast Asia will have several large and small sultans, except for two or three kingdoms that are quite powerful, and many small countries are not small generals, one by one, like lambs to the slaughter.

Fortunately, the population of the European countries is pitifully small, otherwise the whole of Southeast Asia will be occupied by the Europeans, and even develop into the inherent territory of Xiyi.

The output of cotton, glassware, liquor, porcelain, and luxury jewelry in the "Red Banner Army" system exploded, and it was necessary to expand a larger market.

The Ayutthaya Kingdom and the Donghu Kingdom have a larger population than the Quang Nam Kingdom and the Da Viet Kingdom, and the economic level is better, and the market potential is huge.

The Ayutthaya Kingdom cannot be regarded as the later Thailand, and the territory is much larger.

Because they destroyed the once mighty Angkor Dynasty 200 years ago, Angkor Wat disappeared from the world for 500 years until the middle of the 19th century.

The Kingdom of Taungoo was about the same as Burma in later generations, and it was at its best at this time, and the land extended to the Malay Peninsula, and under the rule of King Talon, it was considered a rich country and a strong people.

When it came time to compete for the markets of these two relatively large countries in Southeast Asia, Long Wu Sailor naturally wanted to bombard the doors of Southeast Asian countries with strong ships and artillery, forcing them to trade and plunder the resources here.

I am not afraid that these countries do not have too many commodities to trade, and it is better to buy their rice than nothing if they can't do it.

As for whether it caused the food in these countries to skyrocket, cause food shortages, and starve to death, Huang Han didn't care.

Huang Han only cared about the food and clothing of hundreds of millions of Han people, and what needed to be solved urgently was the food crisis in the Ming Dynasty, with the aim of preventing a Han man who found the "Red Flag Army" from starving to death as much as possible.

The big cake of Southeast Asia has also aroused the coveting of European countries, and countries such as Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands have long begun to trade and plunder, and it is not uncommon for them to compete with each other for colonization.

Historically, Spain even fought with the Netherlands for Taiwan, and finally Spain, which had gone into decline, lost the war.

Now, due to the prestige of the Longwu Naval Division in the South China Sea, the Xiyi countries have retreated in the face of difficulties, and the direct consequence is that the forces invested by the Xiyi countries in the struggle for Southeast Asia have increased greatly.

None of the competitors are vegetarians, and if they don't have a good tooth and want to come to the Gulf of Siam to do something, there is a chance that they will be killed.

The English fleet led by Weddell was completely wiped out, and the English royal family did not know why the fleet that went to trade in the Far East was delayed.

As a result, another fleet of England sailed to the Far East, not only for trade and colonization, but also for the mission of understanding the mystery of Weddell's disappearance.

In later generations, Singapore is now a wild place where dogs don't, and there is a group of pirates entrenched on this island with a radius of less than 60 miles, including family members, the number of people does not exceed 5,000, and there are basically no warships in the real sense, and there are more than a dozen armed merchant ships.

Such an enemy was vulnerable and was shot down, which was equivalent to providing the Zheng family with some supplies and two or three thousand laborers.

Zheng Zhilong was extremely excited to gain a firm foothold when he arrived at the ground, and Huang Yong followed Huang Han's instructions to name the island "Star Island", and the fortress under construction on the island was called "Haicheng".

Some of the junior officers of the Marine Division were graduates of the Foreign Language Academy, and they interrogated captured pirates and captured sailors on merchant ships and warships, and soon mastered several nearby pirate entrenchments.

Fighting pirates can not only capture gold, silver, treasures and materials, but also get free labor, and the "Red Banner Army" and the Zheng family's private soldiers are of course very happy.

In the face of the Longwu Naval Division, which has advanced warships, and in the face of national power, it is difficult for a mere pirate to be the front.

Within a month, the pirate's nest within 300 nautical miles of Sing Dao was swept away, and Huang Yong and Zheng Zhilong seized a large amount of gold, silver, treasures and materials, and rescued many Han people who were enslaved.

When sitting on the ground to share the spoils, most of the civilian and military materials were given to Zheng Zhilong, which immediately solved the urgent need of the shortage of materials in "Xingdao", otherwise the pots and jars would have to find a place to buy or go back to their hometown to carry them.

Huang Yong didn't look at a few of the dozens of armed merchant ships that were captured, and most of them were left to the Zheng family.

Zheng Zhilong reciprocated the favor and resolutely refused to share the seized gold and silver treasures, Huang Yong of course laughed, and he prepared to return after consulting with Zheng Zhilong.

Before the "Haicheng" did not have a defensive function, Zheng Zhilong's warships had to stay in the "Star Island" to prevent accidents, and the eighty armed merchant ships that had completed the unloading followed the Longwu Navy Division back to Fujian to continue to transfer immigrants and supplies.

Because there are still many family members of the Zheng Group who need to be transported, and there are still many belongings that need to be transported, a city with 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and civilians was born from scratch, and there are so many daily necessities needed.

I don't know if Huang Yong and Zheng Zhilong are too lucky, or the English are doomed to bad luck.

A formation of eleven English warships with a displacement of 500 to 1,000 tons plundered along the way.

By the time they reached the east of the Strait of Malacca and were about to sail north to Siam, there were already three more warships and seven armed merchant ships, all of which were of the Galen type and had a displacement of no less than 300 tons.

The warships of the Longwu Navy Division all carried sentinel ships, and they knew that the route through the Strait of Malacca was very busy, and dozens of sentinel ships were patrolling the east entrance of the strait, and had successfully discovered seven or eight Xiyi armed merchant ships and privateers.

Now, of course, these merchant ships and pirate ships have become trophies of the Dragon Warrior Naval Division.

I saw the Mizi flag again, this kind of very recognizable flag Longwu Sailor is familiar to everyone.

As a result, it was unfortunate that England lost 11 more warships and more than 3,000 crew members, Zheng Zhilong had 2,000 more arquebuses made by the English, 400 long-barreled cannons of different sizes and calibers, and 21 more merchant ships in the Longwu Naval Division.
