Chapter 494: What's so hard about this

Hou Xuanyan was deployed in Nanyang, but unexpectedly did not get a strong reaction from the Netherlands, and Portugal did not dare to jump out at all.

At this time, the Netherlands was in tension with the British in Europe, and for a time did not care about the colonies in the Far East.

Britain had just ended the civil war and was developing its navy with great ambitions. In particular, this year, Parliament has just passed the new "Navigation Regulations", which stipulate that all goods imported into the UK must be carried by British ships or brought to the UK by ships of actual origin, which means that no other countries with shipping capabilities are allowed to interfere.

Originally, what people stipulated was their own country's affairs, and the country that spoke of the seniors could not interfere, but only the strength and weakness between countries were concerned, and who cared about the reason...

The Netherlands has always been a trade intermediary country and the center of commodity distribution in the world due to its large number of merchant ships, large size, high efficiency and perfect organization. Britain's new navigation regulations were clearly aimed at dealing with the Netherlands, striking a blow at its intermediary role in Britain's trade with other countries. The Dutch were furious and demanded that the British abolish the Navigation Regulations, and the British were very hard-boned, but they did not let go.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out...

For so many years, as the boss of the sea, the Dutch have always been very domineering.

It took them just a few decades to rise to prominence Spain and become the hegemon of Europe.

The merchants of the chicken thieves stole the charts of the voyage to the East from the Portuguese, and immediately organized merchant ships to reach Goa, Java, and the Moluccas, India.

In 1602, Dutch merchants and aristocrats joined forces to establish the East India Company, which expanded rapidly in South Asia and established a number of armed trading stations.

In 1603 in Java and in 1606 in Malacca, he defeated the Spanish and Portuguese navies.

In Jakarta, they established their first colony in Asia, and in Africa they occupied the Cape of Good Hope, establishing large colonies.

The most unbearable thing for the British was that the Dutch fished fish and shrimp in the waters near the United Kingdom, and from the fishing boats, they could see the land of the British Island, and then sold it at a high price in the British market.

In the fifth year of Jing You, the war between Britain and the Netherlands was inevitable.

Of course, Hou Xuanyan didn't know all this, he thought that it was because of his recent impressive performance of his sailor, so that these white-skinned people did not dare to continue to be presumptuous.

Many times it is a compliment to accept when you see a good thing, but it is not here in Hou Xuanyan, you are afraid of what I still implicit, Manraka Sailor continues to conquer the Nanyang Islands, no matter what forces are in charge of the above.

For a time, the Nanyang artillery fire was in the sky, and the battleships of the Daming Naval Division, marked by the dragon's head, raged throughout the South Pacific. Before the island was captured, the money saved by the original owner on it snowballed immediately changed hands. The sailors then used the money to hire builders to build fortifications, repair broken ships, and subsidize the casualties.

The builders of the Ming Dynasty are like a group of followers, following the ass of the sailor to happily repair walls and pave roads to make a lot of money.

Only then did the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty discover that His Majesty the Emperor did not brag nonsense, and his means of navigating the South Seas were indeed making money, and he was still making a lot of money. Not only did the imperial court make a lot of money, but even the people also benefited from it, and the territory of the empire continued to expand.

Yao Qisheng led his troops from Manraka and directly hit the border of Burma, and several sultanates along the way were all swept away. The king of Siam was captured alive, plus six sultanates, and a large number of about 1,000 members of the royal family, were escorted to Jinling. One of them slipped out at random, either a king or a princess, and now all captives.

None of these people were not fat, and all the fat and ointment looted in the treasury were made for others, and all kinds of treasures were piled up in more than sixty treasure ships, which were transported to Jinling with the captives.

In the palace of the Siamese people, Yao Qisheng and Peng Zhuze of the sailors met for the first time, and the two armies of the Nanyang finally met, one from north to south, and the other from south to north, completely pacifying Nanyang.

Peng Zhuze's official position is higher than Yao Qisheng's, and his knighthood is also high, the young Yao Qisheng smiled and bowed down with a few personal soldiers.

Peng Zhuze hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, slapped the young man's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, you, you fought faster than me, and you dug up the Siamese people's nest so early." ”

Yao Qisheng didn't mean to complain when he heard his words, his face was also sincerely happy, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Since ancient times, when the army has been in charge of the army, I am afraid that I will steal the limelight from the main general, and the credit is this, my performance is too dazzling, how can the main general be happy.

Fortunately, Peng Zhuze didn't understand these ways of Han officialdom, and only felt that half of the task was completed, and he could return to the division as soon as possible to live up to His Majesty's expectations, and it was too late to be happy.

Yao Qisheng said politely: "This is all because General Peng pinned down the Siamese forces in the north and left their country empty, and the lower officials got lucky." ”

"Oh, I see." Peng Zhuze nodded, suddenly realized.

Yao Qisheng had a black line, and he was polite, but he didn't expect the other party to really believe it, you have a hair, and all the Siamese people on your side are afraid of retracting back to China.

The royal palace of Siam is built with splendid gold, and the people here live like savages, but the extravagance of the royal family is beyond ordinary people's imagination. Peng Zhuze put his arm around Yao Qisheng's shoulders and said, "Don't care how you won, anyway, let's win, come, in this Siamese palace, let's have a drink." ”

There are already subordinates serving the meals prepared in the army, and the table is full, and it seems that it is very appetizing.

Yao Qisheng sat on a white chair, and he didn't know what material it was, and he sat very comfortably. Through the glass window, a ray of warm sunlight shone on the body, and the whole body was warm. He picked up a wine glass, toasted Peng Zhuze, who was sitting opposite, and then said: "General, this time you have won a complete victory, and you have made a contribution to the imperial court, presumably you will definitely be rewarded by Your Majesty after returning to Beijing. ”

Peng Zhuze sighed and said, "If you don't say this, I almost forgot, I have been sad to death in the past few days." ”

Yao Qisheng sighed lightly and asked, "What is the general worried about?" ”

"Alas! When I first left Jinling, His Majesty told me to beat Burma by the way, and I asked His Majesty in what name he would send troops. Who knew that he was scolded for being bloody..."Peng Zhuze was a little embarrassed when he talked about the past.

Yao Qisheng was puzzled and asked, "The general asked a good question, why was he scolded?" I don't know how Burma has done evil to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty wants to ask for him. ”

Peng Zhuze's old face turned red, and he said in a low voice: "It turns out that although the king of Burma is not very good, he has not offended our Ming Dynasty in the slightest, and His Majesty just wants to include him in Jingnan Province." As soon as I asked the reason for sending troops, His Majesty became angry, scolded me severely, and said that he still used him to say this little thing, and let me think of a reason for sending troops myself. You said that this person who had no grudges in the past and no hatred in the near future, if I have to come up with a high-sounding reason to destroy another country, how can this be good? ”

In Peng Zhuze's eyes, this matter was as difficult as climbing to the sky, but Yao Qisheng knew it as soon as he heard it. No wonder to fight a mere Siam, the imperial court sent 200,000 horses, and he had to cooperate from Manchuria. It turns out that His Majesty's appetite is more than that...

Thinking of a high-sounding reason, it is simply too simple for these students who have a bad stomach, Yao Qisheng laughed, leaned closer and said, "What's so difficult about this? ”
