After this, the Ming Dynasty divided Borneo into two towns, east and west. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Among them, the town of West Borneo included the later Malaysian state of Sawak, the Sultanate of Brunei, and the province of West Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan in Indonesia. Judging from the map, the territory is vast, and it is almost time to catch up with Sumatra.

For the time being, the capital will be located in Pontianak. After all, looking at West Borneo, only Pontianak has begun to take shape and can afford to function as an administrative capital.

The town of East Borneo is located in Sabah in Malaysia, North Kalimantan, East Kalimantan and South Kalimantan in Indonesia. The capital is temporarily located in the city of Machen, which was formerly the Sultanate of Machen.

On the whole, not only is the area of East Borneo not as large as that of West Borneo, but also the degree of social development, natural development, and economic development scale are far from being reached. In particular, many virgin forest areas are still in the hands of indigenous tribes.

After several epochs, it remains an unexplored and mysterious place.

I am afraid that for a long time in the future, the Ming Dynasty will send mercenaries to clear the local indigenous tribes. Otherwise, the town of West Borneo will always be only nominally complete.

But that's all for later!

Anyway, now, Daming doesn't have the time or energy.

And the battle of Borneo was only a local battle in the end. The main participating countries are only the Ming Dynasty and the four small countries of Lanfang, Machen, Boni and Sulu, which are extremely unequal in strength. Although Britain participated during this period, it only came behind its back and did not send troops.

Therefore, the war in Borneo only expanded the advantages of the Ming Dynasty in the South Seas and affected the distribution of power territory. It is not yet possible to establish the absolute advantage of the Ming Dynasty and ensure that the Ming Dynasty controls the South Seas 100%.

Because as long as Spain and Britain are still there, it will hinder the Ming Dynasty from beginning to end.

So Liu Weiguo did not return after taking Borneo. Instead, he led the formation of the First Marine Division that captured Bo Ni and sailed northward, aiming directly at the Spanish forces in Manila.

This is a preparatory battle plan drawn up with the Battle of Borneo!

The reason why the preparation is used is because of the plan of the Ming Dynasty. If Borneo is taken, it will take less than a month. Then Da Ming can vent his unfinished strength on Spain. Just took advantage of the sharp spirit after the big victory to subdue Luzon Island in one fell swoop.

When the time comes, Britain will want to intervene, but it will be too late.

The fact is that it only took 26 days for the Ming Dynasty to destroy the last country in Borneo, Lanfang, which just met the requirements of the war. Without further ado, we hurried to Manila.

In fact, earlier, Daming did not dare to make a move against Spain. It was also at that time that he did not understand the Spanish power in Luzon and was jealous. But since the blockade of Manila Bay, Spain's weakness in the Philippines has been infinitely magnified. In response to the words of Taizu of this dynasty, imperialism is a paper tiger.

No matter how hard Spain jumped before, in front of the Ming Dynasty's soldiers, he still didn't even dare to let go of a fart.

This made Da Ming really realize that the Spanish forces stationed in Manila were not to be feared.

This led to the development of the battle plan for Borneo with Manila in mind.

And take here, there will only be the Malay Peninsula in the South Seas, and there will be British power. Other places were included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Avoided being dragged in the South China Sea by Spanish forces during the war with Britain. As a result, I couldn't take care of both the beginning and the end, and suffered a big loss.

What's more, the Spanish forces in Manila also happened to be in chaos. Like the Governor General of the Philippines, he disappeared inexplicably. Although Liu Weiguo and Zhang Xiao had received confirmed information that the governor had been killed by agents of the Ming Dynasty. But if you live to see people, and die to see corpses, and if you don't find the body of the governor for a day, the Spaniards on the island can't be sure that the governor is dead.

Blame the governor for building a cellar that no one else knew about. so that no one knows about his death.

This led to an embarrassing situation within the Spanish colonizers without a leader. In addition, there are people of different factions within who want to seize power, causing a certain degree of infighting. As a result, there is also confusion in management.

At the same time, the island's natives, instigated and instigated by the Intelligence Division, continued to attack Manila. It's really a matter of internal and external troubles!

Therefore, sending troops at this moment is in line with the conditions of the right time, place and people.

Originally, the formation of the 3rd Marine Division also asked to accompany the battle. But Borneo had just been taken and needed an army to garrison it. And the shipping lanes of the Java Sea also need to be maintained by the navy. The Third Marine Division was deliberately left behind and let them continue to complete the previous exercise tasks.

Upon receiving this news, the officers and men of the First Marine Division were as happy as if they were celebrating a new year. After all, without the formation of the 3rd Marine Division participating in the battle, they would be able to fight for more credit. Moreover, they have been exercising in Manila Bay for so long, and they also know a lot about the Spanish forces on the island.

Like the military deployment and the size of the army, they have all been passed through the bright eyeline on the island. Now to fight, it's completely like a hand-to-hand capture.

How displeased they are!

It's just a pity that the troops of the dead who are not crazy and demonic and do not live also went to Manila with them. With the desperate strength of the dead soldiers' troops, it is likely to overshadow them.

However, the formation of the 1st Marine Division has also experienced the test of blood and fire. From the bones, there is a kind of tenacity that does not admit defeat. Therefore, on the battlefield, who is more ruthless than whom, and who is more showy than whom, we have to compete to find out.

As a result, on the sea heading to Manila, the formation of the 1st Marine Division secretly competed with the dead soldiers. From the time of eating, the two sides looked at each other without saying a word, but they looked at each other and stuffed rice into their mouths with all their might. That scene was like a pack of hungry wolves, fighting for food.

When it came to participating in the military song contest, the two sides blushed and had thick necks and yelled at each other. That tune has already run to 108,000 miles.

It's like an endorsement!

The officer in charge of the review is also a handful of snot and tears! Not only did they have to endure their terrible singing voices, but their ears were about to be ruined. They all took leave, saying that they didn't want to be a judge of Rausch. After all, this military song contest is just an entertainment activity to pass the leisure time and mobilize the enthusiasm of soldiers during the voyage. It's not that formal!

This judge, who also loves to come, is not so disciplined.

So even if you take a leave of absence, it doesn't matter.

However, after Li Hai learned about the situation of the dead soldiers and the formation of the First Marine Division, he immediately regarded this as an emergency and reported it to Zhang Xiao and Liu Weiguo in a hurry.

But they didn't think about it, Liu Weiguo and the others just smiled and didn't take it seriously. This is because arranging for the units of the dead to accompany them in the battle is a way to encourage the formation of the First Marine Division to maintain its enthusiasm for combat.

So when they see the desired result, they naturally have no opinion. (To be continued.) )
