Chapter 434: Complete Occupation of Java
Just when the king of Java had just learned that a large number of Ming troops were attacking the city outside the city, the Fourth Army of the Praetorian Guard had already entered the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, the city of Subalaya was almost without any defensive force, and the only remaining indigenous army in the city went to burn and loot at this time, so after the Praetorian Guard entered the city of Surabaya, it could only be described as unimpeded.
An indigenous soldier was dragging a Han woman to a secluded place, only to be shot through the neck before she could take off her pants.
And a group of indigenous troops who had just plundered a Han mansion were full of countless gold and silver treasures around a miserable kneeling Han merchant begging when he laughed, a series of bullets hit, and these native troops fell to the ground in a daze, which made the Han merchant look stunned, and looked up to see a row of neatly looked troops in front of him, the same skin color as himself, but the dress was a little different.
The Han merchant didn't know where these armies came from, but just as he was worried about whether they would also commit murder like the indigenous army, he heard a burst of gunfire from the Yao Ji cloth shop in front of him.
Then he saw several of the native armies fleeing with their armor thrown away, but they were killed by the strange army that caught up.
"It's Master Wang! It's my Daming King! ”
This Han merchant heard these strange military words clearly, although his ancestors have settled in Java for generations, but he has been doing business with foreign countries for many years, plus listening to his ancestors, he also knows that the current Han orthodox dynasty is the Zhu Ming Dynasty, and even knows the deeds of Zheng He who went to the West back then, but now I heard that the Ming Dynasty is in crisis, and there is no time to take care of overseas, resulting in fewer and fewer opportunities to meet Ming officials in Java.
But at this moment, when he saw these troops who spoke the official words of the Ming Dynasty, he still felt very cordial, and the whole person suddenly became excited, and he ran around the city to tell each other.
After explaining the city defense matters and the arrangements for the attack on the palace, Lu Xiangyu also entered the city, and then participated in the suppression of the indigenous army, and saw that there were already indigenous troops kneeling and kowtowing to the Ming Praetorian Guard, Lu Xiangyu directly shot the head of the indigenous army: "Before sunset, you are not allowed to seal the knife!" ”
"Before sunset, no swords are allowed!"
The order of the chief military officer, Lu Xiangyu, was like an evil haze, completely enveloping the entire Surabaya morning sky.
The entire dimly lit city of Surabaya was now completely in a dead silence, and the Janissaries showed no mercy for the indigenous inhabitants in the same way that the indigenous army had treated the Han Chinese.
In order to save bullets, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard used the sharp blades they carried with them, which were made of the latest alloy steel developed by the Ordnance Division, which was high in hardness and low in brittleness, but still curled up after slashing and killing countless indigenous soldiers and civilians.
In the end, he even felt that it was still time-consuming to cut with a knife, so Lu Xiangyu had to learn the way of the cold-blooded general Heiwa and directly dug a big pit to bury these indigenous soldiers and civilians.
In short, on the 5th day of July in the thirteenth year of the Great Tomorrow Apocalypse, one of the bloodiest Han retaliations in the history of Java took place in Surabaya, Java, which was the most brilliant chapter in the Ming Empire's execution of the extermination operation.
This chapter completely subverted the image of the Ming Praetorian Guards in the country, and their notoriety and ferocity have been remembered by the people of Java for generations, even years later, when someone mentions the Praetorian Guard, it still makes the people of Java shudder.
The king of Java could only watch his people become lambs to the slaughter under the swords of the Praetorian Guard, and he had nothing to do but feel anger and fear.
At this time, the 1st Brigade of the 4th Army of the Praetorian Guard had been ordered to surround the palace, which means that the current king of Java could not escape even if he wanted to.
As the first cannon rang out, and the king of Java, who was already panicked, fell directly to the ground, the first brigade of the Fourth Army of the Praetorian Guard began to attack the palace.
At this time, there were almost no guards in the palace, and the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard rushed in without any resistance, except for the maids and officials running around.
"How did this happen?" The king of Java looked at his cronies and magnates with a dejected face, and his cronies and magnates were also terrified, and the minister couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty, it seems that it is too late to send the Belidan army back to help, or we should surrender directly." ”
"Surrender, how to surrender, these Ming troops have come all the way from Cirebon, but they have accepted surrender, their purpose is to completely turn my Java country into his Ming territory, into their Han territory, do you think they will easily let us go?"
The king of Java couldn't help laughing, and then the whole person stumbled to his feet, pushed away a chamberlain who tried to help him, and then walked out of the window: "Even if this king dies, he will die on his own land, and they will not let them escort me to the Ming Kingdom as a trophy to their Emperor Majesty, they rest!" ”

The king of Java was about to jump directly from the window and fall to his death, when a quick knife suddenly slashed at him and directly cut his neck.
The king of Java rolled his head directly on the floor, his eyes were round, he probably didn't expect that when he wanted to commit suicide by jumping off the building, someone would directly give him a knife in his back and cut off his head.
The Javanese minister took a few steps back breathlessly, holding in his hand a knife that had been snatched from a nearby guard, and the knife was covered in blood.
The other magnates also stared at the prime minister in amazement, and no one expected that the prime minister would suddenly give the king a knife in the back and cut off the king's head.
And this minister doesn't care what these indigenous magnates think, now that the Ming army is completely in control of the victory, there is no need for him to think of a way to resist the Ming army, it is better to take down His Majesty the king first, and then you can ask the Ming army to avoid death.
The Javanese minister pulled up the bloody head of the king of Java, and then walked directly from outside the palace.
At this time, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard also rushed over, and as soon as they saw the Javanese minister walking over with a man's head, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard immediately surrounded him and pointed their guns at the Javanese minister.
The Minister of State of Java knelt down directly at these Praetorian Guard soldiers, raised the head of the king of Java, and shouted in an unfamiliar Chinese: "Present the head of the king of Java, Duduoyuan!" ”
……
The sun began to set, and with the first sound of the trumpet, the Praetorian Guard, who had already turned into demons, began to stop killing.
The knives raised against the natives stopped, the pits that had not yet been buried stopped being buried, and the aborigines who were still hiding in some hidden places were abandoned.
According to the intention, these natives of Java are not all to be exterminated, after all, these people will be needed to complete the construction of Java in the future.
Now, after a day of slaughter, the remaining natives are just as many as they are needed.
Lu Xiangyu also came to the palace of the king of Java at this time, and also saw the minister of Java and the head of the king of Java presented by the minister of this country.
The minister of Java looked at Lu Xiangyu humbly, and his eyes were full of prays for Lu Xiangyu.
But Lu Xiangyu just snorted, took the head of the king of Java and looked at it, and asked, "Is this really your king?" ”
"Yes, yes," the Javanese minister nodded busily, and told Lu Xiangyu how he took the opportunity to decisively cut off the head of the king of Java before he attempted suicide.
Lu Xiangyu smiled lightly, but suddenly changed his expression, and suddenly drank seriously: "The despicable people who ignore loyalty and righteousness are embarrassed to come to the official to ask for merit, and directly drag it down and kill it!" In addition, the rest of the princes and nobles who surrendered were executed together, and now that it is the territory of my Ming Dynasty, how can you be held by a group of barbarians! ”
Under Lu Xiangyu's order, the minister of Java was shocked and couldn't help shouting, but Lu Xiangyu ignored him.
Here, the two warriors directly pulled the Javanese minister out directly, and like the other Javanese magnates, they were killed by the soldiers of the Ming Praetorian Guard with a miserable scream.
In less than a month, the national capital of Java was successfully broken by the Fourth Army of the Janissaries, its king was killed, all other indigenous magnates were killed, and most of the indigenous soldiers and civilians were also killed, and the entire capital of the country Surabaya officially entered the era of the Han Chinese population.
But this is not the end of the story, because according to the military objectives of the current military target against the state of Java, the immediate criterion is to reduce the indigenous population of the state of Java by three-quarters.
And now these Janissaries Fourth Army has occupied the capital and destroyed its center, but there is still a large part of the indigenous army in Java concentrated in the Belida area.
So, the Fourth Army, having left a battalion to guard and maintain the city of Surabaya, immediately rushed to the city of Belida.
At this time, the city of Belida did not know that its capital Surabaya had fallen and its own king had died, and these indigenous armies were still happy in Belida.
In their opinion, looking at the current situation, these Ming troops are unbreakable, so they don't bother to actively defend.
But it wasn't until they learned that the Fourth Army of the Praetorian Guard had broken through the city of Surabaya and had wiped out most of the natives in the city that they realized the danger was coming, and they panicked one by one.
They are now almost a mess, some say surrender directly, some say fight to the death, and a debate about how to defend or recover the kingdom has been arguing for two days.
But while they were still arguing, the Fourth Janissary Army had already reached the city of Belida.
Lu Xiangyu decisively gave the order to attack, and after the first round of artillery attacks, it smoothly advanced to the extension of Belida City.
But what Lu Xiangyu didn't expect was that when the battle had just begun and the outcome had not been decided, the 60,000 indigenous elites in Belida City directly chose to break through and escape.
This caught Lu Xiangyu a little off guard, he thought that these indigenous elites would have to hold on no matter what, but now he had no time to tighten the encirclement and kill these 60,000 indigenous elites who were about to flee.
Lu Xiangyu had no choice but to order the cavalry to pursue, trying to increase the casualties of these indigenous elites when they escaped.
In this way, Lu Xiangyu's Fourth Army of the Praetorian Guard successfully captured Belida, a military important city in Java, and basically conquered all the strongholds of this Java State, except for the western region occupied by the Red Fan Ghost.
But Lu Xiangyu did not feel the slightest joy because of this, and the will given to him by His Majesty Emperor Zhu Youxiao was to let him greatly reduce the number of miles of the natives, especially the armed forces of the natives.
And now, because these indigenous elites are too timid, Lu Xiangyu's plan to wipe out the last indigenous army in Belida has come to naught.
In this way, there will be a relatively bad situation, that is, once these indigenous elites are scattered into the dense jungles of Java to fight guerrillas, it will cause great trouble to the construction of the Ming Dynasty in Java in the future.
Therefore, Lu Xiangyu must now annihilate all these indigenous elites before they disperse!
Therefore, Lu Xiangyu decided to abandon the traditional way of warfare, that is, to divide troops to defend each city he occupied, and now in order to completely annihilate the enemy's living forces, he decided to temporarily abandon the defense of these cities and stabilize the order.
He wanted to continue to concentrate all the forces of the Fourth Army and be ready to move and fight at any time, and he also deliberately led the Fourth Army of the Praetorian Guard to hide in the jungle, and did not station around any of the cities of Java, so as to reach the whereabouts of the 60,000 elite indigenous bars of the Javanese Fourth Army of the Praetorian Guard.
In this way, it has prompted these indigenous elites of Java to be more frightened, and instinctively want to huddle together for warmth, and will not be easily dispersed, because none of them knows when the Ming army will appear, and everyone is still gathered together, but they can also avoid emergencies as much as possible, such as dealing with local Han forces.
Even, with the mysterious disappearance of the Fourth Army of the Praetorian Guard, and the fact that these indigenous armies had to choose to recapture a city and obtain supplies due to the lack of food and medicinal materials, these indigenous armies began to prepare to retake a city in Java.
Lu Xiangyu also guessed that as long as these natives were not scattered for a few days, they would definitely attack a city, and the Fourth Army would suddenly appear when he attacked a certain city, surround it outside the city, and then annihilate it again.
Perhaps these natives also wanted to learn from Lu Xiangsheng, and actually chose to attack the national capital Surabaya, and when a large indigenous army appeared along the direction of Surabaya from the outpost, Lu Xiang determined that the last army of the natives would attack Surabaya.
The war went well, and when these indigenous elites had just arrived at the city of Surabaya, the Fourth Army of the Praetorian Guard also happened to appear here and launched a direct attack on these indigenous elites.
These so-called indigenous elites have no combat effectiveness, and in just two days, these indigenous elites were almost wiped out, which also marks that the indigenous people of Java will lose the last chance to turn around.
And Java became the first overseas colony of the Ming Dynasty, although for this colony, Zhu Youxiao had already proposed that this colony was the inherent territory of the Ming Dynasty.
