Chapter 438: Sunan Jiri
Shi Jinqing has been dead for more than 90 years, even if Mrs. Shi was only in her twenties at the time, she is now more than 110 years old, Qu Lie is still the first time to see such a long-lived person, so when he heard that the old woman in front of him claimed to be Shi Jinqing's daughter, that is, the legendary Mrs. Shi, he was so shocked.
There is no basis for speaking, and when Qu Lie took the seal in the hand of this Shi lady, turned it over and saw that it was engraved with the six big characters of "Old Port Propaganda and Consolation Envoy Shi", the most suspicious trace in my heart was also news, when Shi Jinqing returned to the imperial court, so he was named the Old Port Consolation Envoy, and later Shi Jinqing died, and his daughter Shi Da Niangzi inherited his position, but unfortunately later the Ming Dynasty was banned, and the contact with the old port was severed. In order to reassure Majapahit, Mrs. Shi herself moved to Java to live, this seal is the official seal given to Shi by the imperial court, and Qu Lie's eyesight can naturally distinguish the real from the fake, and this seal seems to be some years old, it cannot be the latest forgery.
"It turned out to be Mrs. Shi, and the last general Qu Lie was polite!" Qu Lie confirmed the identity of Mrs. Shi, and immediately bowed down to Shi Li, speaking of which, although Mrs. Shi inherited his father's position as the ambassador of the old port, but he failed to keep the old port in the end, so this official position was invalidated, so Qu Lie did not have to treat Mrs. Shi as an official, but he knew that Mrs. Shi had a very high reputation among Muslims in Nanyang, so he did not dare to offend easily, not to mention that a person can live to be more than a hundred years old, which is a great prestige in itself.
"It turned out to be General Qu, and the old man stopped the general's drive this time. In fact, there are extremely important matters to discuss with the general. This matter concerns tens of thousands of Han Chinese in Java. and the lives of hundreds of thousands of Muslims, please let the general retreat left and right, and let the old man tell in detail! Mrs. Shi spoke again.
"Old Madam Qiu, please speak!" Qu Lie was now very interested in the long-lived lady Shi in front of him, and only then did he speak after letting the people on the left and right retreat. Mrs. Shi's husband's surname is Qiu, and the Qiu family in the old port is her husband's family, and that Qiu Ju is the eldest son and grandson of Mrs. Shi, and the other party can accurately block the route of the fleet. I am afraid that it is also inseparable from the Qiu family, after all, many of the children of the Qiu family now work in the army and the government.
After Mrs. Shi saw that the people around her had retreated, she smiled and pointed to the middle-aged native beside her: "General Qu, please see, this is the righteous son accepted by the old man, and his name is Sunan. Giri, who is now the patriarch of the Javanese Muslims, is the reason why the old man gave up his old face to beg the general this time is precisely because he does not want to see the Muslims on the island of Java suffer from the war again. ”
Qu Lie heard that the middle-aged native beside Mrs. Shi turned out to be the Muslim chief imam of Java, and he also glanced at the other party at the moment, and at the same time thought to himself that it was no wonder that the other party had such a bearing. It turned out to be a religious leader in Java, in a theocratic country like the Danmu Kingdom. The power of the Grand Imam is definitely not smaller than that of King Danmu, but I didn't expect the other party to be the righteous son of Mrs. Shi, it seems that Mrs. Shi can have such a high reputation among Muslims, and she must also have an inseparable relationship with this righteous son.
"Sunan. Jiri meets General Qu! "Hearing the introduction of the bottom line, Sunan. Jili also hurriedly saluted Qu Lie, he grew up with Mrs. Shi since he was a child, and he also learned the etiquette of the Han family, and his words and deeds were completely different from ordinary natives.
For this Sunan. Jiri, Qu Lie didn't dare to underestimate it, and he also hugged his fists in return at the moment. Next, Mrs. Shi told her intentions again, but after Qu Lie heard it, she wanted to shout a few times, "God help me".
It turned out that the reason why Mrs. Shi ran to the sea to stop Qu Lie's fleet, in fact, the reason is very simple, in the past two years, the Ming Dynasty has increased the immigration to Nanyang, in order to ensure the safety of these immigrants, but also to let these immigrants get the best land, so the natives of Nanyang will implement a cruel policy, such as the gold mine in Jinzhou, as long as the gold mine is found, the natives will be forcibly moved, if they dare to resist, it will immediately attract the suppression of the army, and wherever the Han people are attacked, Native villages within a radius of dozens of miles will be slaughtered.
The above series of cruel policies have made the natives of Nanyang fear the Ming Dynasty. For example, Java to Sunan. The Muslim religious leaders led by Jili, as well as the Han immigrants led by Shi Da Niangzi, are worried that in case the Ming Dynasty invades Java, they will implement a cruel slaughter policy like in other places in the South Seas, after all, they all know that the military power of the Ming Dynasty is overwhelming, and the Danmu Kingdom was defeated in Jinzhou before.
It is precisely because of this that Sunan. Jiri pleaded with Shi Da Niang, hoping to use her strength to intercede with the Ming Dynasty, as long as the Ming did not carry out a cruel slaughter policy in Java, then their Muslim religious leaders were willing to secretly defect to the Ming and help the Ming take control of Java.
Sunan. The arrival of Jiri and Mrs. Shi is like someone sending a pillow to Qu Lie when he is sleepy, and he is worried about how to take Sura Port as completely as possible without filling in people's lives, this is a very contradictory question, but if there is Sunan. If Jiri and Mrs. Shi meet in Sura Port, it may not be difficult to easily take Sura Port.
Thinking of this, Qu Lie also warmly entertained Mrs. Shi and Sunan at the moment. Jiri, in fact, although Shi Da Niangzi immigrated on behalf of the Han people in Java, but in fact, as long as it is a Han person, even if the Ming army breaks through Sura Port, they will not be in danger, after all, now the Ming needs a large population in Nanyang, as long as they are Han people, and are willing to obey the rule of the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming will re-incorporate them into the household registration and become the people of the Ming Dynasty.
In contrast, Sunan. The upper-class Muslims represented by Jiri are completely different, these upper-class Muslims are either the imams of the dioceses, or some Muslim businessmen, or both, these people not only have great power, but also the richest people among the Muslims, so if the Ming Dynasty really defeats the Danmu Kingdom, it must be the first batch of people to be liquidated by the army, for no other purpose, because they have money, and the army can get enough oil and water from them, otherwise just rely on the little money given by the imperial court, I'm afraid the navy would have starved to death a long time ago.
It is precisely because of this understanding that Sunan. Jiri begged his stepmother to help him build a bridge with the hundred-year-old birthday star, so that he could see Qu Lie in advance, and Sunan. Jiri was also eager to get the promise of Qu Lie, the general of the Ming Dynasty, so he was very anxious, and repeatedly said that they were not only willing to do internal response, but also willing to pay part of their property, as long as the Ming army promised to protect their property and personal safety in the future.
For Sunan. Jili sent these internal responses to the door, Qu Lie naturally couldn't ask for it, but he also saw that these people were in a hurry to ask for themselves, so he naturally had to take care of it, and even deliberately left the two of Shi Da Niang and his wife on the boat for two days, telling them that they needed to think about it, but it was not until four or five days later that Qu Lie told the other party that he could agree to their request, but Sunan. However, Jiri and these people must obey his command and launch an explosion in Sura Harbor according to his plan, so as to welcome the arrival of the Ming fleet.
For Qu Lie's request, Sunan. Jiri naturally agreed, after all, the Danmu Kingdom is not a Ming Dynasty, in addition to the king has an army, these great imams also have a considerable number of guards, and when these guards are integrated, they are not a weak army, which is also the capital that they can be on an equal footing with the king.
In the summer of the tenth year of Zhengde, a rebellion suddenly broke out in Sura City, the capital of the Danmu Kingdom. The Muslim imam led by Giri led the religious army to raid the port, and the Ming fleet, which had long been prepared in the open sea, also suddenly appeared in the port of Sula. The religious army of Giri took control of the port of Sula.
For Sunan. The sudden rebellion of these Muslim imams in Giri was Sultan bin Laden of the Tammu Kingdom. Pata was also furious, but there was nothing he could do, after all, Sunan. The Grand Imam of Giri was already on his side in the name of religion, and the decrees of the kingdom were not binding on them. Pata also knew that those ostensibly benevolent and moral patriarchs were a group of selfish ghosts behind their backs, and in order to protect their own status and wealth, these people would do anything, and it was not difficult to betray themselves as a king, but they hated themselves for being too careless before.
The most important thing in Sura City is the port, now it is occupied by the fleet and religious army of the Ming Dynasty, the entire Sura City is paralyzed all of a sudden, not only the goods in the port can not be transported, but the materials needed in the city can not be transported in, although some goods can also be transported on land, but after all, it is not as convenient as the sea, and the daily consumption of materials in Sura City is very huge, relying on not very developed land transportation, can not meet the needs of the entire city at all.
Qu Lie actually just started to Sunan. Jiri doesn't trust these people very much, after all, the soldiers are not tired of cheating, in case this is a trap of the Danmu Kingdom, then they will be in danger, so he will let Sunan. Jiri led people to start a rebellion, and then only occupied the port, and the Ming navy remained on the ship, so that whether this was a trap of the Danmu Kingdom or not, he could be invincible, after all, as long as they were on the sea, no one was their opponent.
