It's a pity that Lan Fang is now like a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect herself. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info so it's impossible, and then ignore Bo Ni's request for help. As a result, the formation of the First Marine Division of the Ming Dynasty was noble and fast. The eastern, central and western roads all won big victories one after another.

You must know that today's Boni country is not the Brunei of later generations. was squeezed by the British, and only a small piece of Dan Pill land remained. The two large territories of Sabah and Sayue are still in the territory of Bo Ni.

It's just that no matter how big the territory is, it is also under the strong guns and elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and it is helpless to lose.

It was not until the front moved to Kuching that the pace of the 1st Marine Division's offensive slowed down. This is because the formation of the 1st Marine Division, on the way to occupy and lead Boni, has to constantly divide troops to pursue and garrison. So when the attack on Kuching was made, there were only more than 5,000 people left in the whole army.

Kuching, on the other hand, is the last place of residence for the princes and nobles of Bo Ni. Not only did it build a lot of military facilities, but it also gathered a lot of heavy troops, more than 50,000 people, equivalent to ten times the size of the Ming army. Before the arrival of the Ming warship, it was difficult to conquer it with only muskets.

Of course, it's just a little difficult. As long as you are willing to pay a certain amount of human life, you can still take this place.

After all, Kuching was originally just a small fishing village crisscrossed by a river. Later, with the prosperity of Daming commerce, it quickly developed into a transit station for the Nanyang route. Until now, it has formed a city of considerable scale.

There are no tall walls, no towering mountains, and no convenient location. No matter from which direction, the Ming can attack. If it weren't for the number of people, Daming would have taken it long ago.

Now it is the fief of the four princes of Boni, which is equivalent to an independent small feudal country. It was also the fourth prince who was favored by the king of Bo Ni, and his mother concubine, so he rewarded the surrounding areas including Kuching to this favorite son.

After several years of development, Kuching is also becoming more and more prosperous.

If it weren't for the fact that they were born late, these four princes would really have become the next king of the Boni Kingdom. Unfortunately, he has three older brothers in front of him, and it is not possible for him to inherit the throne unless they all die.

But the chance of this kind of thing happening is close to zero. So the fourth prince just thought about it and gave up.

But who knows, not long ago, the king died suddenly, and the infighting between the royal family finally reached a critical point and broke out suddenly. First the second and third princes, opposed to the succession of the eldest prince. Then the princess who married outside also got involved and supported her brother.

This chaotic situation made him see an opportunity. He became king in Kuching, and his ruling area was his fiefdom. Although the place is small, it is the head of a country. The taste of this right still made him quite happy.

And he also thought that if his three older brothers died, then he would inherit the throne logically. To this end, he also sent assassins, ready to take the lives of his brothers. At the same time, he sent troops to expand his territory. made his territory more than ten times larger.

Fortunately, his own brothers were all concerned about the throne, so they ignored his expansion of territory. And in order to win him over, they also promised to give him a part of the territory after ascending the throne. The official face of the Bo Ni State also recognized his fief as a small country on an equal footing with the Bo Ni.

Whether it is justified or not, he can't help but be afraid in his heart, after Bo Ni ends the battle for the throne, the new king will target himself. Accept the solicitation of all parties and wait for the price to sell.

But he didn't think that at this time, Daming suddenly attacked Boni. The eldest prince, who is most likely to inherit the throne, is even more spineless. Without firing a shot, he surrendered to Daming.

He heard that the Ming Dynasty moved the palace for two days and two nights, and all the gold and silver treasures in it were also looted. Even the gold dust on the walls was scraped off.

This is all the wealth accumulated by his father, and now it is so cheap. When he thought about it, his heart ached.

However, compared to the treasure, he was more worried about his fiefdom. After all, with the strength of the Ming Dynasty, the Bo Ni Kingdom will be taken down sooner or later. With his own strength, he can't save Bo Ni at all.

This made him worried, and he didn't think about tea and dinner every day, and he was exhausted.

It was only very soon that his mood improved. Because the British envoy lurking in the territory suddenly revealed his identity and promised him that as long as he held out for a month, British reinforcements would help him repel his fierce rival Daming from the sea.

Although he was a little skeptical about the strength of the British army, only Britain could make the Ming afraid of the land of Nanyang. And he had also heard that the territory of Britain was very vast. The Mughal Empire, west of the South Seas, was under British control.

Even compared with Da Ming, it is not too much. This made him feel a lot more at ease.

In fact, he had thought about sending an envoy to Spain in the north for help. But since the Ming Dynasty blockaded Manila Bay, the local Spanish garrison has been like a turtle with a shrunken head.

Guarding Luzon all day, he did not dare to go into the sea.

This disappointed him! With the idea of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, he believed in the guarantee of the British army.

But unexpectedly, the British envoy also told him a good news. That is, the Qing Dynasty, a powerful country in the north, was also willing to join forces with Britain to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

This is the most powerful country he knows. Not only is the area vast, but the population is large. It also has a long history, and the country is rich and the people are strong.

Bo Ni has always been regarded as the suzerainty of the Qing Dynasty and has maintained close contact!

It's just that the Ming Dynasty was deeply hostile to the Qing Dynasty, and the Bo Ni country was small, and they didn't dare to cause trouble, so they were much more distant from the Qing Dynasty. Last time to congratulate Emperor Daqing on his accession to the throne, Bo Ni only sent a small number of envoys with a small number of gifts. That kind of indifference caused the dissatisfaction of the Qing Dynasty.

Now that Bo Ni is in danger of destroying the country, it is really a great blessing that the Qing Dynasty can still make a move.

So much so that he secretly swore that when Bo Ni survived this dangerous situation, he must bring rich gifts and personally go to the Qing Dynasty to apologize.

But he still made two preparations!

Ordered the people below to take advantage of the fast boat to rush to the west of Daming Xinshan Town, with a lot of treasures. tried to give a generous gift to the overseas consulate of the Ming Dynasty and let him let himself go. And his heart is not big, as long as he keeps his fiefdom, other places can be given to Daming.

In the end, Nanyang is the Ming Dynasty who has the final say! No matter how much the British envoy gave assurances, he could not completely relax his heart. After all, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and when the British and the Qing Dynasty send reinforcements, Bo Mu may not be able to support it for a long time, and the country will be destroyed.

Isn't this Lan Fang in the south almost unable to support it?

He knows that Bo Ni's army has a few catties and taels. I think that when the indigenous people rebelled, they were all borrowed soldiers from Lan Fang. Now that Lan Fang is about to be destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, the Bo mud, let alone the family.

Therefore, while promising Britain to hold on for a month and protect the Boni Guozuo, he bowed to the Ming Dynasty. It can be regarded as adding an extra layer of protection to yourself.

This scheming, this means, really does not disgrace the reputation of the most talented. (To be continued.) )
