Chen Jiasheng didn't know what he thought. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info can't hit the eight poles in the end, and I don't have the ability to pass the gods. At this moment, they were devouring a lot of food, and after a busy day, their hands were numb from the cannonballs. This physical exertion, and my stomach is also hungry.

After washing, the whole body and bones are so tired that they are lying on their stomachs. As soon as I lay down, I didn't even want to move a finger.

It's just that such days will go on for a month. Because Da Ming expected the British rescuers, they couldn't catch up for the time being. Magorni, the Malay governor, did not dare to take any practical action except verbal protests. That big move is even more of a fool's dream.

That's why he dared to blockade Malacca so unscrupulously and give color to Britain and Spain. Let the forces of all parties in Nanyang see who has the final say, who is the boss, and who has the most right to speak.

This shock made those friends who were already good friends with the Ming Dynasty even more stammered. Like Lan Fangguo, who always thought that Daming was pressing on his head, he was very enthusiastic to send Daming 100,000 catties of newly harvested rice, 30,000 taels of silver, and 100 tons of gold. It is said that it is to thank the Ming Dynasty for guarding the peace of the South Seas, and it is specially used as military expenses.

The country of Boni, which is also in Borneo, is not far behind. He sent 100,000 taels of silver and 1,000 tons of gold, and the newly harvested rice was 150,000 catties. The reason is the same as Lan Fangguo, it is all to reward the hard work of the Ming People's Army.

They are also afraid that the Ming Dynasty will make a fake show and make the drill real. Especially after the Nanyang Fleet did not leave their doorstep, it was even more abrupt. So they all put in a lot of effort and spent some money to seek peace of mind.

In fact, Da Ming really just wanted to deter one or two, familiarize himself with the local hydrological conditions, and didn't want to scavenge anything from them.

Therefore, the actions of Lan Fangguo and Bo Ni really surprised Da Ming. However, everyone else has sent the money to their hands, so how can Da Ming not accept it. After smiling, he drove away with a warship.

This made both Lan Fangguo and Bo Ni Guo breathe a sigh of relief.

Vietnam, which had just married a princess, did not dare to lag behind. On the basis of the Boni country, it has been doubled. This has bottomed out Vietnam's treasury. This has made the Vietnamese bureaucrats even more vigorous in looting the people's fat and cream. This prompted a large number of Vietnamese people to flee to the leased land set up by the Ming Dynasty in Vietnam. Then take the Ming immigration ship and go to the extremely backward Daming overseas provinces.

Siam and Burma, which were allies of the Ming Dynasty, could not sit still. Previously, when they saw that the Malay governor was blocked by Da Ming Shengsheng and couldn't get out, but they didn't dare to take the slightest practical action, they all despised it. The awe of Daming has also deepened.

In fact, before, Burma and Siam secretly dealt with the British, and the Ming Dynasty was not unaware. But as long as the fundamental interests of Daming are not harmed, then Daming will not be silent. However, Burma went too far and reached a settlement with Britain in private, which jeopardized the interests of the Ming Dynasty. All of them were taught a hard lesson by Daming, and they ended up losing money and cutting land.

King Rama I of Siam, saw this very clearly. Therefore, after Lan Phong, Bo Ni, Vietnam, and even the Sultan of Johor all offered gifts, they had to double on the basis of Vietnam. and applied to Daming, hoping that his sailors could exercise with Daming's navy.

This is a business that doesn't cost money, how can it not be done. In addition, they are allies, and they exercise together, and let people from the outside world see the closeness and unity of the alliance. Nan Feng discussed with Liu Weiguo and the others and agreed.

When Meng Yun, the king of Burma, saw this, he only hated himself for being slow. Although it and Siam are allies of the Ming Dynasty. A treaty of alliance and mutual assistance was also signed between the two sides. But the battle of Siam-Burma just passed has deepened the gap between Burma and Siam.

And this war has depleted Myanmar's treasury and scarred veterans. When facing Siam, it is inevitable that there is a lack of confidence. As a result, when facing the boss of Daming, he can't help but be more attentive. I hope that Daming can be a little eccentric and suppress the momentum of Siam.

Therefore, after Siam applied to participate in the exercise, he also followed the application, and was willing to pay the same gift money as Siam as the military expenses for the exercise. In the case of an empty treasury, Meng Yun, the king of Burma, can still come up with such a large amount of money, and he also wants to befriend Daming.

Not only that, Meng Yun also specially invited the Nanyang Fleet to conduct exercises off the coast of Myanmar. In order to show sincerity, we are willing to send the Coco Islands, to which Myanmar belongs, to Daming.

The Cocos Islands are a group of islands at the mouth of the Inouaddy River, bordered by the Andaman Sea to the east, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands of India to the south, and the Bay of Bengal to the west. There are more than a dozen islands such as Big Coco Island and Little Coco Island, with an area of 21.56 square kilometers.

It is located in the center of the area composed of Yunnan Province of the Qing Dynasty, British India and the British Crown Colony, that is, the island of Sri Lanka and the Strait of Malacca. Originally, Britain was able to take Sri Lanka from the Netherlands in 1798, but thanks to the defeat of the Dutch fleet by the Ming Dynasty, Britain got it five years ahead of schedule.

In later generations, the Cocos Islands were an important part of China's 'Pearl Island Chain', 1,200 kilometers north of Yunnan Province and 877 kilometers southeast of the Strait of Malacca. The nearest distance to British India is only 986 kilometers. The Burmese government has also leased it to Singapore, China, and China to establish a radar observation center that provides a real-time view of the Indian Ocean.

Meng Yun was able to give this archipelago to Da Ming, which was really unexpected. After all, a few years ago, the Ming Dynasty negotiated with Myanmar and hoped to lease this group of islands. But Meng Yun had scruples about Da Ming at that time, so he kept shirking and didn't agree. Daming also takes into account the unity of allies, and it is not good to be too strong.

But that's not the case! Myanmar's national strength has been greatly damaged, and the Arakan coastal waters in the southwest are also equivalent to armed secession. If you want to hold on to the Cocos Islands, you will be a little out of reach. And after Britain forcibly occupied the Andaman Islands south of the Cocos Islands last year, British warships have been roaming around the Cocos Islands.

At the time of the Battle of Siam-Burma, the Nacoco Islands were still occupied by the British. Myanmar now has the name of the Cocos Islands, but they are not actually under their control.

Giving it to Daming is not very distressing. And in doing so, it also pleases Daming. According to the usual style of the Ming Dynasty, it is really possible to get the Coco Islands back. In this way, it also gave a bad breath to Myanmar.

How did the Ming not know the mind of Burma, but he was willing to accept it. Originally, Burma didn't say it, and the Ming Dynasty was also ready to drive out the British on the island. If it weren't for the fact that the place was too far away from Daming, it would not have been possible for Britain to seize the opportunity before.

And the Nicobar Islands, near the island of Sumatra, were occupied by the Ming Dynasty as early as last year. The local natives were either driven to the sea to feed the fish, or sent to Anbei Province to kill the savages. This is in conjunction with the British. Bounded by the Ten-Degree Strait, the Andaman Islands to the north are British territory, and the Nicobar Islands to the south belong to the town of North Sumatra in the Ming Dynasty.

If the Coco Islands are again included in the arms of the Ming Dynasty, then one south and one north, the British Andaman Islands will be clamped to the death. Otherwise, the Andaman Islands may be able to change hands. It is also equivalent to putting a shackle on the estuary of the Strait of Malacca into and out of the Indian Ocean. In wartime, the nails that the British set in Malacca were so soft that they couldn't even hurt people.

Now, taking advantage of the exercise, it is just a convenient solution.

So the Nanyang Fleet, which had a different mind, left some warships behind and blocked the Strait of Malacca together with the Siamese naval division that rushed over for exercise.

The other part is headed to the Coco Islands. Nominally, it was a drill with Burmese sailors, but in fact, it was aimed at the Cocos Islands and the Andaman Islands. (To be continued.) )
