Chapter 710: East-West Advances
Han Guangbu did not encounter a vicious battle, and the three battalions of the "God of War" lightly surrounded and annihilated the army guarding the capital of this small country.
The army not only captured many indigenous rich people, but also many European merchants did not escape and became fat sheep.
All in all, the military power of Southeast Asia is a fart, and it has been so throughout the ages.
The Malay Peninsula was colonized by Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands in the 15th and 16th centuries.
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it was occupied by the British, and in the twentieth century, it was again taken by small Japan.
Those Xiyi who were rounded up were still a little confused about the situation, and organized to negotiate with Han Guang and ask for their protection.
Han Guang agreed to protect them, and gathered these people to participate in sanitation, sweeping the floor, removing garbage and even digging out manure pits every day.
The protest was ineffective, and everyone had to work for food, and Xiyi had gold and silver treasures and could not get food, because the wealth had been captured as enemy property, and if you didn't want to go hungry, you had to work hard.
The protesting Xiyi persisted for three days, and in the end some people really died of thirst and hunger, but unfortunately the "Nanming" soldiers thought that they were purely looking for death and were unmoved.
Xiyi found that threatening the "Nanming" soldiers with his own life or physical and mental health as a bargaining chip was self-inflicted humiliation, and finally understood that he had to work in a down-to-earth manner and strive to start all over again.
At the same time, 36,000 men and horses from the nine battalions led by Cheng Quanquan, as well as 150,000 immigrants and villagers in the first batch, crossed the border from Guangnan by way.
The soldiers and civilians of Quang Nam were stunned, in their eyes, the villagers and immigrants with weapons were all troops, and nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses were boundless, where could the soldiers and civilians of this small country imagine?
The lord of the country, Nguyen Phuc Yuan, was like sitting on pins and needles, he knew that with such a strong army, those neighboring countries would not be able to resist at all, and from now on this vast land would be the territory of the Ming Kingdom, where would Quang Nam go?
Too many officials of the Guangnan State are glad that they have transferred their capital to the "Nanming New Suzhou" to buy real estate, and it seems that it does not matter whether they are the ministers of the Guangnan State or the "Nanming" businessmen in the future.
Many of the common people of Quang Nam are employed by the "Nanming" agriculture, industry and commerce, and the remuneration they get for working in the "Nanming" is at least double that of working in their own country, and the living conditions of their families are of course much better than those who dig in the soil of their own country.
There will be a difference when there is a comparison, and the common people yearn for "Nanming", and if the lord of Guangnan conscripts troops to fight against "Nanming", he will not be supported at all.
This time, through Guangnan Kingdom, Cheng Quangong led the "God of War" arrogant soldiers to show their muscles and achieve the goal of surrendering without a fight, and it became possible to solve Guangnan Kingdom through diplomatic channels in the future.
Half a month has passed, and the attack on the west coast of the Malay Peninsula launched from "Nanhua Island" as the starting point has not been in danger.
The three armies all seized the good port as a foothold, and the men, horses, materials, including the first batch of immigrants and the villagers, began to work.
The seizure of the Malay Peninsula was not for plundering, but as a territory, and the soldiers and civilians of the "Southern Ming" did not engage in destruction, not only did they not set fire to the rice fields, but they also refused to trample on the rice fields, and they did not abuse the natives who laid down their arms, and gradually the resistance to the occupied areas was much less.
Many Han Americans can finally raise their eyebrows, they sing and dance to welcome the arrival of Wang Shi, and with the initiative of the Han people, the army encircled and annihilated the remnants of the hostile with half the effort.
The naval forces led by Huang Mingdao were transported by three routes, and the army under the command of Huang Dongshan completed the plan of landing on the west coast of the Malay Peninsula.
He continued his efforts to lead the navy to transport Cheng Quangong's troops, which had assembled at "New Port", to attack the east coast of the Malay Peninsula.
The deployment of the Zan Painting Department was also a three-way joint attack to blossom all over the plate, and finally the east-west counterattack completely occupied the Malay Peninsula.
Huang Mingdao and Cheng Quangong personally led a sea and land attack without encountering resistance, and the army landed in a natural deep-water port in Pahang, which was probably the location of Kuantan Port in later generations.
In one day, the landed cavalry swept down three almost undefended cities of the Sultan of Pahang, which were large cities in this small sultanate, and inferior to a small county town in the eyes of the Han people of the Ming Dynasty.
Guo Huaiyi and Hu Jianfeng, as the main generals of the first road, attacked the territory of the Sultan of Johor with great momentum, and the landing point was a fishing port called Fengsheng.
As soon as the army landed on the shore, it attacked westward without stopping, and the plan of the Zan Hua Department was to advance against Huang Dongshan and Hu Jianfeng's troops, and penetrate here to join forces in Batu Sawa, the capital of the Sultan of Johor.
Liu Liangcai and Chen Chengcai's men attacked the capital of the Sultan of Kelantan, Kota Baru, and the army immediately went all the way north to attack the city and pull out the village, aiming directly at the Sultan of Pattani.
At this time, the Sultan of Pattani had submitted to the Ayutthaya Dynasty, and it was uncertain whether they would receive assistance from the suzerain.
The arrogant generals of the "Southern Ming" did not look down on the countries on the Indochina Peninsula at all, knowing that their territory and population were not even as good as those of the Ming Dynasty, and the equipment of the troops was even more ridiculous.
Liu Liangcai's navy, of course, would not be a spectator, and after transporting supplies and immigrants again, the fleet went north for a hundred nautical miles and took the "Langshan Battalion" led by Feng Jingsheng to attack the port of Pattani.
The "Southern Ming" army attacked Kelantan for ten days, and Pattani had already assembled an army to the south to prepare to defend the territory, and they intended to contain the invading army from going north to occupy the territory of Pattani.
Unexpectedly, a fire broke out in the backyard, and the "Nanming" army unexpectedly appeared behind the main force of Pattani and completely took the royal capital.
The attack led by Huang Mingdao, Huang Dongshan, and Cheng Quangong was impeccably completed, and the results and casualties were better than expected.
The Malay Peninsula has been in turmoil year after year, resulting in the common people having no sense of resistance at all, and when they find out who wins, they bow down and bow down to show their submission.
These residents also have no sense of national consciousness and national dignity at all, and this is also because they are too many and too chaotic ethnic groups, and their religious beliefs are diverse and unified.
It took a month and a half for the "Southern Ming" army to completely seize the Malay Peninsula, and in order to maintain long-term peace and stability here, it was necessary to immediately carry out a large-scale migration and large-scale purge.
This time, there was no purge, and many of the captured fighters from small Sudanese countries were left to fend for themselves without killing or sending them to the island of Java.
Regardless of whether they were warriors or not, all the captured young men were assigned to Hainan Island, Jiaozhi Province, and 'Huaxia Island', the three mature "Nanming" territories, and women were no exception.
They would become cheap laborers in the fields, equivalent to serfs, but they would be freed after fifteen years at most.
In the future, there will be a number of more male and female laborers in the rice fields of "Nanming" who will only be fed, clothed and warmed and do not need to be paid, and it will be a matter of course to increase the sown area and produce more grain.
