Chapter 688: The Inland Sea (Page 1/1)

The screams resounded through the woods, attracting the attention of the natives of the tribe. Splashed with the blood of the natives, Banu resisted the urge to vomit and waved his team into the tribe.

It was an unequal battle, and it was a massacre for more than a thousand soldiers armed with sharp blades to rush into a tribe of less than three hundred.

After the war, the security team only brought back more than 100 young men and a large amount of trophies, and according to the regulations, thirty percent of them belonged to the security team. Banu had a bit of luck when he found an egg-sized piece of metal from an indigenous home.

The surrender of this piece of metal allowed him to be rewarded with twenty silver dollars, although it was only a small piece of natural gold, but it made the Changxing army pay attention to the abnormality.

The fact that ko's head gold can be found in the tribe indicates that there must be a gold mine nearby. Changxingjun had the experience of being on Taiyuan Island, and immediately launched a search near the tribe, and the results found made Changxingjun laugh.

This gold mine is actually only a little worse than that on Sado Island, and it can completely provide another big source of wealth for the Changxing Army. This attack on the Old Port Propaganda Division not only did not lose money, but also made a lot of money.

The security team has been tested in this actual battle, and although it is still a little rusty in combat, it has been able to complete the task of clearing the indigenous people of Sumatra on its own.

As the natives continued to be brought back to the Old Port, Zhang Dou believed that the size of the security force would gradually increase and eventually become the most important force in the Changxing Army's control of Java.

Zhang Dou did not stay long in the old port, leaving a thousand soldiers to return to Manchuga. When the fleet returned to Manthorna, Mahmood, who had been waiting outside the city, burst into tears.

He had been waiting for Manthorn for a long time, and if Zhang Dou didn't come back, the king and sultan would have to go to ask for food. He was impatient to find Zhang Dou and sign a treaty, and immediately stationed in Manjinga to begin exercising the king's rights.

The Changxing army also took over the 3,000 soldiers he recruited and began to train, everything was going in an orderly manner, Zhang Dou led the fleet to sea here, this time the target was Batavia.

Batavia is one of the most important strongholds of the Dutch in East Asia, and it is the largest city they have built. The Dutch people collected boulders from India to build the city when they occupied it, and envied the hard-working Chinese who built this most important city.

The Dutch people made the raw silk of the Ming Dynasty to Batavia, and from here they sold it all over the world. Their profits were as high as 300 percent, which made it a stronghold of the Dutch East India Company.

As long as the Changxing army takes this place, the Netherlands' hand in East Asia will be cut off, and the so-called East India Company will cease to exist.

Attacking Batavia, which was not guarded by warships, was a confrontation between battleships and batteries, and the Changxing army paid the price of sinking a battleship to collapse the batteries guarding Batavia.

Batavia was immediately like a stripped girl at the mercy of the Changxing army, and after the Changxing army landed, it only took a single round of artillery bombardment to silence the Dutch people in the city.

Before the Changxing army could make a move, the Dutch people in the city raised the white flag and surrendered. Zhang Dou would not be polite to this group of executioners who slaughtered the Han Chinese, and took them all away and sent them to the coolie camp in the old port.

The Chinese in Batavia were also sent by the Changxing military ship to the Old Port Propaganda Division, and the number of Han people was not large, and they needed to be warmed together.

Next, Zhang Dou led the Changxing army to march along Java, and all the cities along the coast were shelled by him, and the only one who escaped was Semarang. There are a large number of Han Chinese living here, and if it weren't for that, it wouldn't be a disaster.

Even so, the Changxing army still picked up a large number of Han Chinese and sent them to the old port. Today's Changxing army is simply unable to control such a large Java, so it is better for the Javanese to fight for it themselves.

When they were exhausted and divided the winners, the Changxing army came to collect this fertile land again. Now the Changxing Army's first task is to control the Manchurian Thorn and the Old Port Xuanwei Division, as long as they grasp these two places, they will close the gateway to the East.

The Changxing army left behind fifteen orca warships and twenty Exocet clippers at the Old Port and Manchurian Piercing, a force sufficient to deter the Europeans from coveting East Asian ambitions.

With most of the warships destroyed by the Changxing Army, no fleet in East Asia could pose a threat to them. Unless the Europeans send an expeditionary force from their homeland again, it will be at least a year later.

At that time, a large number of warships will be launched in the Changxing Army, and the defense force here will be strengthened again. At that time, even if there are more warships, they may not be able to pass through the Manchurian Strait, and the fleet of the old port will only need to withstand the first wave of the enemy's offensive to buy time for the Changxing army to mobilize a large army.

This time, the merchant ships that had been following behind the Changxing army also made a lot of money, and the goods they carried on their ships were not only sold out in Manshujia, but also loaded the whole ship of spices in the Spice Islands on the return trip.

When I return to Taiyuan Island, I am afraid that the price of spices in the entire Ming Dynasty will be impacted. I don't know how many merchants who hoard spices will lose a lot, and the merchants who follow the Changxing army will naturally laugh from ear to ear.

Before returning home, Zhang Dou made a rule that any merchant ship wishing to enter East Asia would be taxed according to the size of the vessel.

If the merchant ships of various countries were unwilling to pay taxes, they could also trade freely in the Manchurian market, and the Changxing Army set up a trading hall here similar to that of Taiyuan Island, where merchants could buy any goods.

But if a ship wants to pass through the Manchurian Strait without paying taxes, and is blocked by the Changxing Army and directly impounds the ships and personnel, unless the merchant can redeem himself with a high ransom, the gold mine of the Old Port Xuanwei Division will be your eternal home.

As long as they are brave and not afraid of reprisals, they can sail at will, and if necessary, the Changxing army fleet will also go deep into the Indian Ocean to escort Han merchant ships.

For a time, merchants from all over the world gathered in Thorn Plus, and the trading hall here became popular in a short time.

Until now, the Changxing Army has completed a layout on the sea, except for Manila and Macao, the rest of the place is controlled by the Changxing Army.

The whole of East Asia became the inland sea of the Changxing Army, and merchants only needed to buy walrus armed merchant ships to sail freely in the inland sea, and unless they encountered a storm, they were absolutely safe.

As for the pirates in this area, there is nothing they can do in the face of walrus armed merchant ships, they can't fight and can't catch up, and they can only be beaten passively.

In addition, the Flying Fish Clipper of the Changxing Army will also patrol the route, and the pirates will either go to the island to farm, or become maritime merchants, otherwise they will only be killed and have a way to go.

As for Manila in the hands of the Gan Wax people, the Changxing Army really does not have too many manpower to immigrate, so let the Gan Wax people occupy it for a period of time for the time being.

The Changxing army also needed silver brought from the New World by the Ganlasi people, and Manila, a merchant who lost the Ming Dynasty, was left with only one use for secondary school silver.

As long as the timing is right, the Changxing army will still take this place and completely block the line into the Daming coast. At that time, the navy of the Changxing Army will be able to free up its hands to develop further places, all of which are inseparable from a prerequisite ~ that is, population.
