readx;?“ Where to set up a trade port, you haven't thought about it yet," Zhu Youzhen shook his long sleeves, slowed down, and let Wang Mujiu walk to the front, "But Kuching in Lanzhu Province must be one, and Dai Yan Province is the key point of Malacca, and it must set up a trade port, either Malacca City, or Temasek City." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Well," Wang Mujiu replied casually, letting him walk in front of Zhu Youzhen, he was really not used to it, and turned his head to look back from time to time, "Master, my subordinates have some understanding, these maritime merchants, let them develop freely, as long as they can abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Mu Jiu is right to think so!"

Zhu Youzhen finally let Wang Mujiu understand the Nanyang strategy, he no longer hated and guarded against these maritime merchants, so he let him walk at the front of the team, in order to highlight Wang Mujiu's identity as a messenger, if Wang Mujiu frowned at these shops, then Zhu Youzhen painstakingly created a pro-people image for him, I am afraid that it will be self-defeating.

They walked around the city for three days in a row.

Every time he enters the store, Wang Mujiu will become the leader of this group of characters, even Zhu Youzhen and him, are all accompanied, and Wang Mujiu's identity as a messenger is perfectly highlighted, although the people in the store still don't know Wang Mujiu, but Zhu Youzhen, if he sees Wang Mujiu again, there must be many people who can recognize this Qincha adult.

In the evening, Zhu Youzhen finished visiting the last shop, and just returned to the barracks outside the city, and he didn't even have time to take a sip of tea, Zheng Zhilong rushed in, "Master, there is a message from the front!" ”

"Message?" Zhu Youzhen was made brainless by Zheng Zhilong, but he estimated that it was from the battle situation in Aceh.

Zheng Zhilong lowered his voice and said that Jin Hao had captured Aceh City, captured a large number of officials in Aceh, and even the national teacher Wang Erlie became a prisoner. ”

"Oh? So fast? Zhu Youzhen was in a good mood, "What about the army in Aceh, have they surrendered?" ”。

"Not yet," Zheng Zhilong's dark face revealed a trace of regret, he really wanted to kill the land of Aceh, these unsightly natives, "Jin Hao attacked Aceh City by night, and now the news of the fall of Aceh City has not yet reached the front line." ”

"What about Jin Hao? Where are they now? What are the casualties of the Marine Corps? "Zhu Youzhen is most concerned about the next move of the Marine Corps.

"Master, because it was a sneak attack, there were no casualties among the marines, Jin Hao left a small number of soldiers to defend the city of Aceh, and asked the people and soldiers in the city to assist in defending the city, and he took most of the soldiers of the marines to the south, according to the predetermined plan, preparing to join forces inside and outside, and defeat the main force of the Aceh army in one fell swoop." In Zheng Zhilong's eyes, these blindless Acehnese people all deserve to die.

"What about Willy? Where are you now? ”

Zheng Zhilong sat down on the wooden chair opposite Zhu Youzhen, picked up the tea on the table and poured it violently, and then wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth with his hand, "Wang Erlie, as well as a large number of Aceh officials, have been taken to the southern front, once the marines have defeated the main force of the Aceh army, Wang Erlie and others will be released, and they will begin to recruit the local defeated soldiers and civilians." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded, first defeat the main force, let the Aceh people lose the courage to continue fighting, and when the Aceh people are in despair, and then use high-ranking officials to surrender, this is a clever strategy, now the city of Aceh has been broken by the Ming army, and the whole country of Aceh is in chaos, but it is not what Wang Erlie's prestige is among the soldiers and civilians of Aceh, and whether the people of Aceh can be successfully incorporated into the Ming Dynasty under his inspiration.

However, Zhu Youzhen is not worried, the capital of Aceh has been broken, and it is no longer possible to organize a unified resistance force in the country, and without the effective dispatch of the imperial court, I am afraid that the soldiers on the front line will not even be able to gather food, let alone the supply of weapons and personnel.

If the Acehnese continue to oppose the Ming Dynasty, it will be a guerrilla war at best.

The Marines are not afraid of guerrilla warfare.

Aceh is too small, with a population of less than 100,000, excluding the old and weak, women and children, all adult men are in battle, and there are only 20,000 or 30,000 people.

Zhu Youzhen, as long as the Ming army breaks through the Liuser Mountain and enters the northern region of Aceh, the Acehnese people will have no choice but to surrender.

"Zhilong, tell the soldiers on the front line that they must fight steadily and steadily, and they must solve the Aceh problem cleanly and thoroughly."

Zhu Youzhen recognized the current battle situation in Aceh, and Zheng Zhilong put his mind at ease, "Master, if the Aceh people refuse to surrender, I'm afraid the next war of clearing will continue considerably." ”

Clearing the remnants of the Acehnese, there was no loss to the Ming army, this kind of small-scale battle, the right should be to train the soldiers of the Marine Corps, "If the Acehnese people refuse to give in, then ......" Zhu Youzhen turned his palm into a knife and made a downward cutting action.

"Master, my subordinates understand!"

"Zhilong, don't be in a hurry, a battle of this scale is not a bad thing for the South China Sea Fleet, and the losses will not be too big, so it should be regarded as training," Zhu Youzhen was worried that if Zheng Zhilong wanted merit, he would blindly attack, which would increase the casualties of the marines, seeing that Zheng Zhilong couldn't help nodding, he changed the topic, "Zhilong, how are you prepared to go up the mountain to worship?" ”

"Master, a notice has long been posted in the city, and the people have spread it inside and outside the city as soon as it spreads ten, ten or hundred," Zheng Zhilong lowered his voice, "The guards of the royal throne have also been arranged, and within a hundred steps, as long as there is any abnormal movement, it is impossible for the soldiers to stop." ”

"That's good, you must ensure Mu Jiu's safety," Zhu Youzhen played with the lid of the cup in his hand, "Zhilong, what are the people in the city like?" Will they follow Mu Jiu to worship the three eunuchs? ”。

"The subordinates have secretly inquired about it, and the people have responded positively, even more actively than the last time the subordinates worshipped." Zheng Zhilong and Zhu Youzhen were particularly concerned about worship, and he had long mobilized soldiers and people to strengthen positive guidance and propaganda.

The day has not yet dawned, the city gate has gathered a lot of people, but the city gate has not yet opened, so I have to wander around in the city, boring noise, until the time when the soldiers guarding the city open the city gate, today the people into the city are very few, basically out of the city.

Before Wang Mujiu got up, the people gathered on the training ground of the military camp outside the city, and it was dark and oppressive, and Zhu Youzhen estimated it, along with the old people and children, there were no less than tens of thousands of people.

In the entire city of Malacca, there are only 100,000 people, and now almost half of them have gathered, plus the people outside the city have joined one by one, I am afraid that there are 80,000 people, Zhu Youzhen is very satisfied with the number of people, it seems that Zheng Zhilong has not been busy in vain these days.

Wang Mujiu finally walked out of the barracks, in order to show his pro-people attitude, there were only five guards around him, and Zheng Zhilong personally led hundreds of marines to follow far behind, which could be regarded as escorting this Lord Qincha.

Many people close to Wang Mujiu shook their heads, and they really didn't dare to look at them:

"Didn't he visit my shop yesterday?".

"Is it really a chincha?"

"It turns out that Lord Qincha is inspecting the people's situation, and I am ashamed that I am still selling goods to adults."

……

At first, they were still worried in their hearts, and they didn't know whether Lord Qincha was satisfied with their shop, but when they saw Wang Mujiu smiling, they also settled down, it seemed that Lord Qincha was in a good mood.

But these ordinary businessmen who have seen Wang Mujiu, Lord Qincha seems to have gained some weight today, and his figure looks a little bloated compared to the previous two days.

When Chen was handed over, tens of thousands of people began to march towards Sanbao Mountain outside the city, Wang Mujiu was sent by the imperial court, much more noble than ordinary people, naturally walking in the forefront of the team, in addition to the two personal soldiers walking in front, as a guide, even Zheng Zhilong also followed far behind.

Surrounding Wang Mujiu were tens of thousands of people who were in a hurry.

Traveling to Sanbao Mountain with Lord Qincha, the people were smiling, and they didn't even care if the people around them were familiar or not, their eyes fell on Wang Mujiu's body from time to time, regardless of whether they could see Wang Mujiu directly or not.

If the people had been careful to observe, it would not have been difficult for them to be surrounded by many people with whom they were not familiar, and although they were dressed in the same way as them, they were straight, their steps were right, and they had an air of majesty.

Wang Mujiu walked slowly, while talking to the surrounding soldiers and people, unlike the elated people, he was a real tourist who walked lightly.

Such a pro-people Qincha was not only impossible for the Portuguese in the past, but also unheard of by the officials of the Manchurian Dynasty established by the natives in the past.

Only the Qin Cha of the Ming Dynasty had this kind of bearing and the people who really cared about it.

Tens of thousands of people gradually kept up with Wang Mujiu's pace, although they were still chaotic, but this untrained team of ordinary people became more and more orderly, and Wang Mujiu's speed was their standard.

The first target of this group of people was Sanbaoshan.

Speaking of Sanbao Mountain, this is Ma Sanbao, that is, the place where the eunuch Zheng He stationed troops back then, because the Ming army stayed for a long time, this hill was changed to Sanbao Mountain, and the previous name was forgotten by everyone.

The procession had traveled about three miles, when suddenly there was a commotion in front of it.

The people who were a little farther away from Wang Mujiu thought that everyone was trying to earn a good position, to observe Lord Qincha at close range, and even to say a few words to Lord Qincha, so the pushing incident occurred, because the speed of the procession was slow, as long as the person who fell got up, it should not be a big problem.

The people who had been following Wang Mujiu were surprised: several people dressed as ordinary people rushed up and twisted a native, who originally had a fire # gun in his hand, but at this time it had been taken away by these people.

When Zheng Zhilong saw the riot, he couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart: This assassin was not arranged by me! According to the agreement between him and Zhu Youzhen, when the team returns, someone will "assassinate" Lord Qincha.

He squeezed through the people in front of him and quickly came to the center of the riot, "What happened? ”

"Lord Commander, this Xiao Xiao took out his fire # gun and intended to assassinate Lord Qincha, and now he has been subdued!" A person who looked like a common man rushed to report to Zheng Zhilong.

"Assassins?" Zheng Zhilong broke off and shouted, you are so bold, you dare to assassinate Lord Qincha? ”
