Chapter 305: Lanfang's War (3) -- and Ma Chen

In accordance with the order of the previous Ministry of National Defense, all the residents of Sulu on Horaku Island were relocated. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoThe royal family of Sulu was moved to the Royal Island alone.

This is an overseas desert island prepared by the Ming Dynasty for the royal families of various countries. The exact location is the Balbordaub Island in the later Palau archipelago, with a combined land area of only 493 square kilometers. It's just west of Mindanao and south of Guam. It is one of the important gateways from the Pacific Ocean to Southeast Asia.

The original inhabitants of the island are black natives, and their number is small, less than 500 people.

It was first discovered by Spanish explorers. But until it was occupied by the Ming Dynasty, it did not arouse the interest of Europeans.

Due to its tropical climate, the island is home to tropical plants such as ebony, Bengal banyan, bread tree, coconut palm, and dew doushu, as well as wild mangrove forests and savannahs. There are more than 1,500 species of fish, 700 species of corals and sea anemones along the coast. Forest resources and fishery resources are very abundant.

In addition, the scenery is amazing, and it is a good place for sightseeing.

However, the people of the royal family who were exiled here are not in the mood to appreciate beauty. Because the Ming Dynasty sent a small number of officers and soldiers to garrison this place. The main task is to watch them. Every day, at the requirements of the garrison, they must participate in voluntary labor and complete a certain amount of tasks, otherwise they will have nothing to eat.

It's exhausting, and no one has the leisure to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

The royal family of the Tay Son Dynasty in Vietnam, which was the first to be wiped out, moved here. The royal family of Sulu is also coming. It is estimated that it will not be long before the royal families of Bo Ni and Ma Chen will follow in the footsteps of Vietnam and Sulu.

Push back the time, and this royal island will be lively. After a few years, the descendants of the island are all descendants of the royal family.

It's just that the Ming Dynasty exiled the royal families of various countries together, not to satisfy this evil taste. It's because these royals keep it, and it may still be of some use. But they can't be placed casually like ordinary people. Therefore, Palau was chosen as the royal island where the royal families of various countries were housed.

It is also a lonely place overseas, far away from the major islands. Even if someone runs away from the island, it will be difficult to get out alive.

And in order to prevent accidents, Royal Island is also listed as a forbidden area by Daming. On the map, erase completely. Except for the high-level of the Ming Dynasty, few people know about this place. Even those who were lucky enough to leave the Imperial Island were blindfolded and did not know the exact location of the Imperial Island.

As for those who trespass, they will be treated differently depending on the severity. If you are unlucky, you can only develop the desert island with the royal families of various countries.

After dealing with the affairs of Sulu State, **** Peng did not delay much. With the formation of the 1st Marine Division, he rushed to Boni.

In fact, the Ministry of Defense was not the only one involved in this military operation against Borneo. The Intelligence Division has also been cooperating with each other. Like the coup d'état in Sulu, it was the result of the intelligence officers of the Ming Dynasty.

So at this moment, the interior of Borneo is already surging.

The first to erupt was the Mazen Sultanate. Although it has a relatively long history, it is the weakest. From 1787 onwards, Mazen was reduced to a Dutch protectorate. Later, the Ming Dynasty drove away the Dutch colonists and became the overlord of the South Seas, and Ma Chen served the Ming Dynasty as the master.

Over the years, Ma Chen has also behaved very respectfully. There is no trade with Britain and Spain. It's just that the Ming Dynasty wants to completely control Borneo, and all local forces must be eradicated.

Therefore, no matter how respectful Ma Chen behaved, it was impossible for the Ming to let him continue to reign in Borneo. He ordered the forces of the local intelligence department to mobilize pro-Ming political forces and launch a coup d'état. Let Ma Chen take the initiative to merge into Daming.

Thanks to Daming's many years of operation in the local area, Ma Chen's pro-Daming forces have really grown. So from the beginning, Ma Chen's coup d'état, like the Sulu Kingdom, went very smoothly. However, when they attacked the palace, they were suddenly met with fierce resistance from the defenders.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, King Ma Chen suddenly appeared in front of the palace gate. Lead a large number of royal family members, such as queens, princes, and princesses, to protect and defend the forces and give up resistance.

And to the pro-Ming forces, expressed their willingness to merge into the Ming Dynasty.

This result surprised all the forces present. But King Ma Chen did not want to say more. He left behind the representatives of all parties with different expressions, and hurriedly returned to the palace with the people of the royal family. Following the surrender of the conservative forces, the palace was completely controlled by the pro-Ming forces.

At this point, a bloodless coup d'état was officially completed.

The formation of the 3rd Marine Division and the 5th Combat Detachment of the Ming Dynasty, which came to receive them, were still a little surprised. But the royal family, including King Ma Chen, really knelt in front of him. The officers and men of the Fifth Combat Detachment had to believe it.

But in this way, the disposal of King Ma Chen is a little difficult. Because King Ma Chen took the initiative to merge into the Ming Dynasty. This is fundamentally different from the captured King of Sulu.

Therefore, when the decision could not be made, the commander of the fifth combat detachment let King Ma Chen and all the people in the royal family continue to live in the palace. And send soldiers, closely protected. At the same time, report this problem to Liu Weiguo and ask him to call the shots.

So Borneo, only Bo Ni and Lan Fang remained.

When they received this letter, Liu Weiguo and Zhang Xiao had already taken the formation of the Second Marine Division, the 123rd Division, close to the Pontianak wharf.

Due to the "Hope" treaty signed in the early years, the development of Pontianak could not catch up with the Ming leased city in the north - Yamaguchiyang. But as the largest city in Lanfangguo, although Pontianak has declined, no one can shake its position in Lanfangguo.

Even if Yamaguchi came from behind, it was also influenced by the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, it will never be as good as Pontianak.

It's just that compared with the first visit, the turrets on the Pontianak coast are obviously taller and denser. Obviously, the first bombardment of Pontianak by the Ming Dynasty taught the high-level of Lan Fangguo a lesson. Know that by the sea, build more turrets.

It's a pity! In front of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how many turrets there are, they are like scrap metal.

So much so that Zhang Xiao looked at it and unconsciously showed a sneering and sarcastic expression.

At this time, Liu Weiguo stuffed the Ma Chen battle report he had just finished reading into Zhang Xiao's arms. Said angrily: "Look at it, I don't know what to do!" ”。

Zhang Xiao immediately glanced at Liu Weiguo and checked the content of the battle report. It took about seven or eight minutes before he spoke, "You can do it!" I'm not the Minister of Defense anyway! ”。 He really didn't have any good suggestions for the disposal of the Ma Chen royal family. He kicked the ball back.

It was also Daming who never thought that King Ma Chen would willingly sacrifice the national honor. This made Liu Weiguo and them not know how to deal with it.

Hearing this, Liu Weiguo scolded with a smile: "Hahaha, Xiao Xiaozi, if you are willing, why don't you take me over as a minister?" ”。 As he spoke, he took off his hat and put it on Zhang Xiao's head.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiao ran away as if he was fleeing. (To be continued.) )
