Chapter 276: Jinzhou and Bo Ni
That Aullahan didn't want to surrender, but the Ming warships were too powerful, and he had nowhere to escape, so he wanted to come up with a delaying strategy, and didn't want Zheng Zha's to ask him to send someone to lead the way to attack Great Aceh. If he didn't agree, then the Ming army would immediately know that he was faking to surrender, but if he took them to Greater Aceh, there were Johoreans who were familiar with the road, and it was impossible to succeed in what he wanted to do to lead the wrong way.
He stubbornly said, "Why don't the generals rest in the old port for a few days first, and then attack Great Aceh after the soldiers are rested?" ”
Zheng Zha: "Your idea is good, by the way, you let all your men get off the ship, and we will receive your warship." ”
Aurahan complained in his heart, but there was no way, anyway, the fleet could not get out at all, so he let all the people in the fleet get off the ship, and the Johoreans took the boat to drive the Aceh boat out of the old port and sailed towards the opposite island of Sinji.
At this time, Zhang Qianfang came to Xinji Island with the remaining Ming fleet, Zheng Zhan went to report the situation, Zhang Qianfang spread out the map and said: "You attack Great Aceh from the sea, I will let people attack from the land, this time to completely occupy Jinzhou, and then prepare for war with the Portuguese." ”
Zheng Zha said: "Actually, there are not many Portuguese ships, so let's go to fight Malacca on the way to Aceh." ”
By Malacca, he was referring to a city, the capital of the original Kingdom of Malacca, which was located at the throat of the Straits of Malacca and was now occupied by the Portuguese.
Zhang Qianfang said: "No, we signed a treaty with the Portuguese, and my Huaxia is a country of etiquette, and there is no reason to break the contract." His Majesty the Emperor said that this place is called the Malay Peninsula, and we will drive out the Siamese and Donghu people in this place to ensure the Ming Dynasty's control over this place. When we have all these places settled, the peace will expire. "Taungoo is the dynasty of the Burmese people.
Zheng said with a smile: "After occupying these places, Khmer, Nanzhang, Siam and Donghu will all become countries surrounded by us, and they will not have a second way except to submit to the Ming Dynasty." ”
Zhang Qianfang also smiled and said: "Our Emperor His Majesty is a saint, in this way, you can surrender the army without a fight, and then both sides of this strait are our Ming, you can live if you want to, pay taxes, this is a source of wealth." However, His Majesty seems to be talking about more than just money, he said that this is the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty, and it must not be occupied by other countries. ”
"Batavia is also our target, and then we will also go to war with the Dutch. The Ming Navy has defeated Spain, in my opinion, there is nothing to fear about these red-haired ghosts in the West, how do I think the imperial court attaches great importance to these people. ”
Zhang Qianfang said: "The emperor said that communication with the West cannot be broken, and the emperor said that in order to defeat the enemy, we must first know the enemy, and we must learn the enemy's strengths." Now the country is preparing to let some children go to the West to learn their language and writing, listen to the emperor said, what is the name of a foreign student, Xu Shoufu is very concerned about this plan, we will lay down Aceh, and the sea route will start to be implemented. ”
Zheng Zha pouted and said, "Who wants to send their children to the country of those red-haired ghosts?" I won't anyway, but my son is only three years old. ”
Zhang Qianfang said with a smile: "The royal family may send the prince's concubine, and the emperor really wants His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to join the ranks of international students." ”
Zheng Zhan said in disbelief: "The prince went to the red-haired ghost?" ”
Zhang Qianfang said: "This is just the emperor's idea, he said it last time he chatted with us, but you know, our emperor and his majesty dote on the queen and concubines too much, and the queen doesn't want the prince to go there, and no one knows what will happen in the end." By the way, don't talk nonsense about this, His Majesty the Emperor is afraid of internal affairs, so it's better not to let too many people know. ”
Zheng Zha covered his mouth and nodded, and then said: "Then the subordinates are ready to go to sea, the Aceh warships we have captured, the Johoreans want some, do you want to give them those small warships." ”
Zhang Qianfang said: "We only need a big boat, and the rest can be given to Johor people, and if we want people to work, we must always give some benefits." ”
The Rouran people got the warships of the Aceh people, and they were even more desperate for the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Qianfang asked the Johoreans to divide their troops into three routes, following Zheng Zha all the way to Greater Aceh, occupying Xinji Island all the way, and attacking Jinzhou by land with the Ming army all the way.
The marines attacking from the land were 5,000 men led by Major General Qiu Yu'an, and the Johoreans opened the way in front along the way, and the strong firepower of the Ming army made the march very smooth. Qiu Yu'an's principle is very simple: surrender or die, always choose the same. Ulobarang of Aceh is generally very aware of current affairs, and when the Ming army comes, he surrenders, and then sends someone to lead the way, but secretly he will also let people go to Greater Aceh to report to the Sultan, and the news that the Ming army is coming.
When Qiu Yu'an had just attacked the central part of Jinzhou, Zheng Zhan had already taken Aurahan to the sea of Great Aceh. The navy of Aceh was mainly in the old port, and the number of ships in the fleet of Greater Aceh was not large, so Zheng Zha only fired a few shots at the sea to the shore, and Aceh surrendered.
The state of Aceh has been fighting against the Portuguese and Johoreans, and has repeatedly forced the Johoreans to move their capital and set up a new king, and their influence has reached as far as Nammi and other places. But when he encountered the Ming Dynasty, who had more advanced weapons and more numbers than the Portuguese, he could only surrender with his hands tied, and there was no way to resist.
After the Ming occupied Aceh, the Strait of Malacca was jointly occupied by the Ming and the Portuguese, and one country occupied one side, and the merchant ships passing through here had to pay taxes to both the Ming and the Portuguese, otherwise they would be sunk or occupied by the warships of both sides.
The Ming Dynasty officially named Huang Canming as the king of Boni and ruled the entire territory of Boni, while the original sultan of Boni was named the Duke of Boni. Although this caused the dissatisfaction of some Malays in Boni, Boni was originally established with the help of the Chinese, and Huang Senping was officially recognized by the Ming Dynasty as the king of Boni, although the number of Chinese in Boni only accounted for 20% of the total number, but they controlled at least 80% of the total economic output of Boni. In addition, Lin Shuzhen killed a few Boni nobles who took the lead in dissatisfaction with the trouble, and soon the country of Boni calmed down, and a Boni country ruled by Chinese was officially established.
The Ming Dynasty sent Zhu Wubi, the right-hand man of Dali Temple, to Luzon as the governor, while Yang Jingchen, the former governor of Luzon, was sent to the old port to serve as the governor of Jinzhou. Because he did a good job in Luzon, the imperial court hoped that he could bring Luzon's experience to Aceh and create another Jinzhou with the same heart as Luzon.
Yang Jingchen was accompanied by 4,000 Luzon soldiers, which Yang Jingchen had selected from among the locals in Luzon, and they were to be stationed in Old Port and Great Aceh respectively, each with a firearm and a Balem sword, to become a military force directly under the Governor's Palace.
