Compared with the winds and waves of the South Seas, the Andaman Sea is obviously stronger. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe surging waves, which hit the steel giant, shook non-stop. The whistling sound of splashing water has become an eternal concerto on the sea. Occasionally, a flock of seagulls flies by, heading north. The cheerful cry adds a different kind of melody to the eternal concerto.

It is February 1796, winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in the southern hemisphere. After several days of sailing, the formation of the 2nd Marine Division of the South Sea Fleet finally arrived in the Andaman Sea.

The formation of the Second Marine Division is not a regular formation, but a specially mixed unit based on this exercise. Because from one to three, this Marine Division formation ranks second, so it is called the Second Road Division Formation. The limited number of personnel is 20,000, which is composed of divisional battalions, battalion headquarters companies, service companies, and communications companies.

At the end of the exercise, the formation will disband itself.

At this time, in the Coco Strait between the Andaman Islands and the Coco Islands, the Supreme Commander of the Second Marine Division, Ou Ziwen, was using a telescope to carefully look at the North Andaman Island in the south.

This is the northernmost island in the Andaman archipelago. It is 80 kilometers long and 29 kilometers wide, with an area of about square kilometers. As far as the eye can see, the highest point on the island, Saddle Peak, is 738 meters. Moving further down, you will see rice with full ears spread all over the field.

Recalling the information from the Navy Division, Captain O's command to turn around and approach North Andaman Island. The adjutant who received the order was still a little hesitant. After all, the rice flag fluttering on the island indicates that this place is British territory.

Just when Ou Ziwen put down the binoculars, and when he saw that the adjutant's expression was different, he instantly understood his concern. chuckled: "This is the Coco Strait, right?" ”。

The adjutant nodded a little inexplicably.

Seeing this, the smile on Ou Ziwen's face deepened a little. Then he said: "The Coco Strait is part of the Coco Islands, right?" ”。

The adjutant nodded again, like a chick pecking rice.

At this time, the boat docked, and Ou Ziwen's tone was also raised: "That's it!" The sea here and the island here are all from the Ming Dynasty. ”。

The adjutant immediately replied: "But-but-but-but-this North Andaman Island is-part of the Andaman Islands!" And the Englishman ---". At this point, he stopped talking, but the meaning was obvious.

Hearing this, Ou Ziwen asked in a suspicious tone: "Who said that this is the North Andaman Island, how do I feel that this is Little Coco Island?" ”。

With a breezy expression, the adjutant suddenly understood the connotation.

Oh, yes! Anyway, which island this is, it is all said by people. Even if the British say that this is the Northern Andaman Island, the Ming Dynasty will not admit it. Anyway, the mouth grows on himself, and he can say whatever he wants.

I still don't believe that the British dared to use force with Daming before the reinforcements arrived!

Thinking about this, the adjutant couldn't help but admire the high scheming of Ou Ziwen, the white commander! At the same time, he recognized Ou Ziwen's status. After all, in the yellow-skinned Daming, Ou Ziwen, a white-skinned European, is difficult to get ahead and climb to a high position.

In that administrative field, only a few people can squeeze in. In the army, there are basically no whites. Those who were once recruited, if they did not have a military rank, were forcibly kicked out for all kinds of reasons. The whites who remain in the army today have no ordinary small soldiers.

This Ou Ziwen can become the supreme commander of the Second Marine Division, also because of his qualifications as the captain of the Jinsha Pirate Regiment and the mayor of Johor Bahru City. Half of the Han Chinese blood can sit in this seat.

Otherwise, if you only have this one of the ethnic groups, don't think about getting out.

Of course, these bits and pieces of reasons, the adjutant is definitely not known.

Given that the island of North Andaman is not large, there are not many British troops left behind. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty only sent 500 marines to land on the island in fast-clipping boats.

Some stupid natives saw the ships of the Ming army docking. Immediately, like a rabbit, he secretly hid in the dark and watched the Ming army walk by. They are also afraid of being hurt! After all, the British army was on the island, and they were bullied a lot.

The movement here was known to the British troops stationed there early in the morning. It's just that the Ming army didn't dock before, and the British army was happy to pretend not to see it. Now that Da Ming didn't even greet him, he sent troops to land on the island, and the British army had to come forward. immediately asked people to hold a white flag and negotiate with Daming. Thinking selfishly, Da Ming was afraid that he would not be able to figure out the place, so he landed on the wrong island, which caused a misunderstanding.

Although the fluttering rice flag has fully indicated that this is unlikely. But the British still clung to this glimmer of hope with wishful thinking. There are also not many British troops stationed here, nearly 200 people. More than a hundred of them are Indians. Truly native-born British, there are only a few dozen.

Let them contend with the Ming army, which is outnumbered, is tantamount to hitting an egg against a stone and killing themselves.

In fact, if the British Indian fleet was still here, they would not have put their posture so low. Therefore, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. They had no choice but to send someone to explain the misunderstanding to the Ming army, so that the Ming army would come and how to go back.

But this is an unrealistic fantasy after all.

When the British army negotiating with Ou Ziwen's original words were uttered. The commander of the British army stationed here suddenly jumped like thunder. Not only that, Da Ming also ordered them to leave the island on their own within twenty minutes, under Da Ming's surveillance.

Otherwise, it's like a captive!

So the angry British commander, without much thought, took dozens of native British troops and absconded and fled. I hope that when night falls, I will get on a small boat and go to sea.

The Indian soldiers were left on the island to fight the Ming army and defend the island.

As a result, as soon as the native British army left on the front foot, the Indian soldiers surrendered to the Ming on the back foot. And hope to move to Daming and live there. After all, although the status of these Indian soldiers is low, their IQ is still very normal. I know that this island can't be defended, so why do I have to defend it.

And Daming also lives a lot of Indians, and now in India, they all praise Daming to the sky. What's more, the Ming Dynasty has always been a civilized country and treats the people well. Even if they are captives, they will not be easily killed.

These Indian soldiers were willing to be prisoners of the Ming Dynasty.

As a sign of loyalty, they also confessed that the British had planned to abscond and escape. So it didn't take long for those British soldiers who were hiding in secret to be found by the Ming Dynasty. At this time, these British troops wanted to surrender, but it was too late.

In fact, whether they surrender or not, Da Ming will not let them go. Because without their ventilation information, the British army in the Andaman Islands would be less guarded. The Ming Dynasty snatched these islands, and it took less effort.

When the island of Northern Andaman was taken without much effort, O's son was not surprised. After all, there are only so many British troops on this island, and if they put too much effort into it, it can only appear that the formation of the Second Marine Division is too useless.
