Chapter 795: The Fall of Aceh V

How to get home? Sultan of Aceh said so. The road in front of you has been blocked, and if you want to go back to Aceh, you must take other roads, either by land or water, or through the mountains and forests. But with the same problem, the carrying capacity of the road is limited, and if you don't take this natural road, coupled with the dangers in the jungle, there are probably very few people who can return to Aceh alive.

But the Acehnese had no other way, and even this road was worried that the Yongjun army would suddenly appear and be taken by surprise, and with a hundred and twenty hearts, in the middle of the jungle, a road that winded to the west.

"Your Excellency. Shall we not care? ”

Such a big movement couldn't be hidden from people at all, and someone immediately reported to Wu Ming and asked for instructions.

Wu Ming pondered for a while, remembering Zhu Houhuang's instructions to him.

It wasn't for nothing that he landed here.

To the east of Medan, there are mostly swampy wetlands, with only a narrow coastal passage suitable for human habitation.

The terrain west of Medan, including the area of Medan, is a little higher than that of the east, and there are fewer swamps and wetlands.

So, if Dongyong wants to put a chess piece on the west side. It is used to limit the words of the Franc man. It is not possible to go east, because the large area of wetlands is not easy to reclaim land and cannot support the army. Further west, not either, because it was already the sphere of influence of the Acehnese. Where Islam is deeply rooted. Even the Muslims here in Medan are enough for Wu Ming to have a headache. Don't say further and more.

In Dongyong's planning, Medan was occupied as a stronghold for the Yong army's water and land armies to go west. Not further west, at least not now.

Of course, since Dongyong had no intention of occupying the territory of Aceh, coupled with the agreement signed with the Franc Man, the Franc Man would establish a port on the land of the Acehnese. Wu Ming naturally didn't mind making trouble for the Franc machine. After all, the people of Aceh have been frightened and have become lost dogs.

Wu Ming said: "Don't worry about them, deal with the affairs here first, the name Medan is not good, Xijinzhou." ”

In Han Chinese literature, Sumatra is called Jinzhou, which is called Xijinzhou to the west of Sumatra, which is natural. However, choosing a name for a place is still a secondary issue, and the main problem is to consume the local culture and incorporate it into the Chinese culture. Wu Ming said: "I can't get used to this Hui Temple, so I demolished him for me and established an official mansion in the same place." And the defenses of the Western Golden State, which are really bad, rebuilt the city walls. The natives all served me. The rest of the people were first camped outside the city. ”

Wu Ming is going to stay here for a while.

Not only is it necessary to build a fortress here, but also to find a way to expel the local Muslims, and lay the groundwork in the area so that the Western Golden State can maintain a large garrison.

Under Wu Ming's order, everyone threw themselves into labor.

It's not a difficult thing for those soldiers, how to say that Tuntian is a thing, Yongjun has done a lot. In the era of Lu Wan, many of the officers of the Yongjun Army were local county soldiers, and under the command of Lu Wan, Dongyong was forced to open up countless fertile fields. And the Yongjun soldiers are all from good families. I also farm at home, and I don't need much teaching at all.

However, it is the Muslims who suffer.

Demolished the Hui Temple, then established the official yamen, and then rebuilt the city wall, I don't know if Wu Ming deliberately made it difficult, anyway, let these Muslims complain about the hardship. Fleeing in large numbers.

Wu Ming didn't catch it very tightly, but whoever fled was not allowed to come back. However, a month has passed, and there are many fewer Muslims, coupled with the news of the war in Aceh in the West, a large number of refugees have come to the east, but most of them are by boat.

However, under Wu Ming's restrictions, some Muslims were stopped in the west of the Cinking State, while some Han Chinese, as well as Hindus, Buddhists, and so on, were let in.

The beliefs in various parts of the South Seas are actually very chaotic, and the rise of Islam is only a matter of the past few hundred years, before which Hinduism and Buddhism were popular, and Hinduism and Buddhism themselves were in the same system. It's not the place where Muslimism passed through as Zhu Houhuang thought before, there is no religion at all, just like the Western Regions.

Under the mixed situation of various religions, Wu Ming did not need Zhu Houhuang's instructions. Without a teacher, he learned to support Buddhism against Islam.

Wu Ming decided to build a large temple here. And invited senior monks from the country.

Wu Ming stepped up construction in West Golden State. The Sultan of Aceh also came through thousands of mountains and rivers, and many of the tens of thousands of soldiers fled, and the rest were family members in Banda Aceh. So they unanimously decided to go back with the Sultan of Aceh.

Banda Aceh is the birthplace of Aceh and the capital of Aceh.

The foundation of the Sultan of Aceh was here.

Banda Aceh is the first stop of Muslimism in Southeast Asia and is known as the gateway to Mecca, through which Muslimism was introduced. It is the center of Islam in Southeast Asia.

But at the moment, this one is gone.

The Sultan of Aceh looked at Banda Aceh on a hill outside the city.

Originally, the largest city in Aceh, the pride of the Sultan of Aceh, was shrouded in flames, and all the sacred and non-sacred were calcined by the flames.

The Sultan of Aceh threw himself on his knees and said, "Allah, did you punish me for this?" Punish me for my impiety, for being in the company of the infidels? ”

The one in front of him is naturally a good thing done by the Franco.

The Francophone people want to choose a port on the territory of the Acehnese as their stronghold in Southeast Asia, so naturally the larger the port, the better, and Banda Aceh entered the sight of Tomei and others, and everyone made a decision, and it was here.

But Francois underestimated the Muslim will to resist.

It is true that Banda Aceh is very empty, and most of the military forces are out on the march, but it does not mean that Banda Aceh has no combat effectiveness at all, and under the call of the Great Mullah, all Muslims sacrifice their lives to protect their homeland. Even though the Francophile has the advantage of artillery and muskets, it is no longer possible to completely occupy Banda Aceh.

They attacked Banda Aceh again and again, but in the hand-to-hand combat in the street battles, they did not stand on the cheap.

The Francos knew that it was impossible to conquer Banda Aceh without first destroying their will to resist.

So I used this method, since it can't be conquered, let's destroy it, anyway, only the terrain of the port is there, and it is easy to build a port city in place. A raging fire swept the whole city into it.

Many houses in this tropic area are made of wood, and when they encounter open flames, they are out of control and it is impossible to even extinguish fires.

When the Sultan of Aceh returned, he saw such a scene, his wife and children, his men, and his people were all in this fire.

The Sultan of Aceh suddenly stood up and said to the soldiers behind him: "I am a sinner of Aceh, I am no longer qualified to hold the position of Sultan of Aceh, and now I declare that whoever can drive out the infidels and recover Banda Aceh will be the new Sultan of Aceh." ”

The Sultan of Aceh is wise.

He knew that his prestige had been exhausted in one defeat after another, if he only had no prestige, as long as he had strength, he would still be able to sit on the throne of the Sultan of Aceh, but the most supportive of his tribe was near Banda Aceh, and they were all hit hard by the Franco. Not much strength was left at all.

Without prestige and strength, the position of the Sultan will probably not be his own.

Besides, he had no idea of living. Rather than waiting for his death and implicating the tribe, it is better to deal with it now.

I saw that after he finished speaking, without saying a word, he rushed down from the mountain, and everyone couldn't stop him, watching him plunge into the raging fire and disappear in a blink of an eye.
