Chapter 304: The Battle of Lanfang (2) - Destroy Sulu

Not to mention the fact that from the point of view of its strategic location, Borneo enjoys extremely high military value. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info because it faces the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra Island across the sea in the west, Java Island in the south, Sulawesi Island in the east, and Mindanao Island and Palawan Island in the north.

So in a way, it's a veritable state within a state.

Although the small countries of Borneo such as Bo Ni, Lan Fang, and Ma Chen are now under the control of the Ming Dynasty. Even if it jumps, it won't hinder Da Ming much. But this is not the territory of the Ming Dynasty after all, and it cannot be left to the Ming Dynasty.

If the critical moment comes, the place is controlled by hostile forces. The security situation in the surrounding area has deteriorated to the extreme. The overseas territories of Nanyang are also likely to fall into a situation of scattered sand and various breakthroughs.

So no matter what, Borneo must become a place where the red flag flies.

And this time, Lan Fang fornicated with Britain and Spain, harming the interests of the Ming Dynasty, but it was just a catalyst. Just gave Da Ming an excuse to use force against Lan Fang, and by the way, the forces of Borneo were wiped out.

Of course, Spain in the north and Britain in the west would never watch the Ming annex Borneo. After all, this is a big cake, and the small countries on the island are also bought by them. And they are still delusional, waiting for the war of the South Seas to break out. and Lanfang, Bo Ni and other countries, inside and outside, caught off guard.

In this regard, Daming is not unprepared!

The 2nd Marine Division, stationed in the Andaman Islands, was the first obstacle to British reinforcements. If it is properly arranged and goes well, it can become an executioner and executioner to send British reinforcements to hell.

Even if you can't completely annihilate the British reinforcements, you can drag on for a while. With that kung fu, the Ming Dynasty can also fight quickly and take Borneo.

In accordance with the arrangements of the Ministry of National Defense, the troops to be invested this time will be mainly composed of the Third Marine Division, supplemented by the First Marine Division. It was mainly the 3rd Marine Division, which began to attack from the south of Borneo and eradicate local forces such as Lan Fang and Ma Chen. Because of its relatively large area and the strength of the local forces involved, the tasks of the Third Marine Division's formation are also relatively heavy.

The 1st Marine Division, starting from the north, was responsible for clearing Sulu and Boni.

It is important to note that the state of Sulu is not part of the local powers of Borneo. However, because it is also a sultanate, it has an important in-law relationship with the Bo Ni Sultanate. The specific location is in the Sulu archipelago, roughly northeast of Borneo and southwest of Mindanao.

It is mainly confined to the Pangutalan Islands, the capital of Holo Island.

Originally, its sphere of influence was not small, including the islands of Basilan, Tawitawi, Palawan, and the Sultanate of Maguindanao in Mindanao. Even after Spain set foot in the Philippines, Sulu was able to live in a corner of the country because of its remoteness.

But since the Ming Dynasty entered the South Seas strongly, the life of Sulu has become difficult. First the island of Palawan was ceded, then the Sultanate of Maguindanao, soon the island of Tawitawi, and finally only the island of Holo.

This is still the Ming Dynasty in that it is a vassal state of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which is convenient for the Ming Dynasty to trade goods into the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Only then did the net open up, leave a small island, and let it inherit the national ancestry. It's just that compared with small countries such as Boni, Lanfang, and Machen, its internal and external affairs are more influenced by the Ming Dynasty.

The current king of Sulu is completely like a decoration. The operation of the country is basically controlled by the auxiliary ministers who are pro-Daming.

This is very similar to Vietnam!

It is also this era, that is, the era of speaking with fists and the law of the jungle. The big countries are not like later generations, holding shelves and paying attention to their appearance.

Generally, if you don't eat, wipe and clean, you will never give up! What happened to the country of Sulu is just a microcosm of the insignificance of this era.

It's a pity that the country of Sulu didn't accept its fate. Guarding a small island, he still wants to fight against Da Ming. Then, there is no need for Daming to be kind and leave it.

As soon as the formation of the First Marine Division of the Ming Dynasty approached the sea off Holo Island, the pro-Ming forces of the Sulu State who learned the news launched a coup d'état in advance. not only imprisoned the king of Sulu, but also arrested all the anti-Ming forces in the country. The British and Spaniards who were hiding in Sulu were also taken away.

As a result, the formation of the 1st Marine Division destroyed a country without spending a single soldier. It made the officers and soldiers present feel that it is a little unreal.

The supreme commander **** Peng also felt in a trance. In modern times, he would never have imagined it. In his lifetime, he became a general with real power and 20,000 troops. And without much effort, a country was destroyed.

Although he had also enlisted in the army before the crossing. However, in a peaceful modern society, it is even more difficult to win the military industry. Being promoted to general is even more of a pipe dream. And at that time, he did not have such lofty ideals. I only hope that I can compete for a first-class non-commissioned officer. In this way, there is no need to leave the army and go out to earn a living.

After all, he had just graduated from high school and had no skills. Out of society, he can only be like his parents, either farming or working, anyway, he can't escape the fate of being a coolie.

It's just that the reality is cruel! At the end of his service, he was still an ordinary soldier. Therefore there is no maneuver, automatic retirement. There is no compensation other than a thin certificate, a small number of soldiers' allowances, and more literal preferential treatment.

Later, like many comrades-in-arms who had retired from the army and did not have a high education, he went to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou to work as a security guard. This is also thanks to the barracks, which gave him a strong body. Avoid the tedious work on the assembly line all day long, day after day, year after year.

It's just that he is still unwilling in his heart! Because although the security guard is more relaxed, he still works for others. And he wants to become a master and work for himself.

So he took out all his savings and partnered with his former comrades-in-arms to open a security company. It's a pity that although Beijing's cake is big, the competition among peers is not small. He only opened for less than half a year, and the partner saw that the situation was not good, and took the company's money away in advance.

If you make him, you can't even pay your salary.

Until I heard from a friend that the partner hid in Shanghai. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, he bought a ticket for the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway. I want to get the money back as soon as possible.

But I never expected that in a daze, I would cross.

In the early days, he was very unoptimistic about the train captain, senior cadres of enterprises, and senior cadres of the government. Because when the People's Republic of China was first founded, there were thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, and it was like a family. Eating, drinking, eating, drinking, clothing, shelter and transportation are also in urgent need of solutions.

At that time, he still thought that if it didn't work, he would wipe his neck and cut himself. Maybe you wake up and go back to the modern world.

He wasn't the only one who thought this way at the time. But when the cold corpse lay out in front of him, he hesitated again.

Persisting in this way, I saw that Daming was like a miracle and developed to this day.

Looking at the king of Sulu who was kneeling in front of him, trembling, a sense of pride rose in his heart that he had never felt before. Because what the king feared was the Ming Dynasty that he participated in the construction. (To be continued.) )
