Chapter 1519: Nanyang Strategy (1)
In seven days, Tan Guilin led the first town of the Tianxiong Army to take all the important cities on Java Island, the speed is dizzying, of course, now there are not enough hostile forces on Java Island to compete with the Tianxiong Army head-on, Tan Guilin, and even divided the three thousand cavalry into three roads in one breath, dividing the three major cities on Java Island, and the rest of the cities are even easier, without the Dutch, the local armed forces fell apart, all the trees fell apart, and surrendered to the Tianxiong Army.
The situation on Java Island has been controlled, and Zhao Xin has also launched an offensive towards Borneo, and now the Spaniards on Borneo are armed with only one or two thousand people, where can they stop the attack of the Ming fleet and the Tianxiong army, I am afraid that they will also fall in the wind.
Tan Guilin has not come back, Zhu Jie directly sent a large army to start a new round of attack, the target, Sumatra, and the Malay Peninsula, now it is time for revenge, the Malays dare to send troops to assist the Dutch in the battle, they really don't know whether to live or die, if they don't teach these small countries in the South Seas a profound lesson, they don't know the pain, and they must clean up the small countries and obey them!
Of course, it is still a trivial matter to clean up the Malay country, and the most important thing is to control the Strait of Malacca in his hands, which is the most important strategic point in the East and the West, Zhu Jie must control it no matter what, master the golden waterway of Malacca, once the West and Da Ming make peace in the future, this is the real cornucopia!
Returning to Batavia with Tan Guilin and Shi Kefa, the old man finally ended his trip to India, returned to the South Seas, and arrived in Batavia.
"Kenyuki, you're finally back, but I'm worried about death......"
Zhu Jie saw Shi Kefa, got up directly from the chair excitedly, took Shi Kefa's hand and said.
Shi Kefa was confused, and said in amazement: "Your Majesty, although it is a bit risky to go to India, it is not so worrying that you will become like this, right?" The former went to the West, and the minister had been there, and he was very familiar with it, and even if the British did not agree, the minister was sure that he would be able to retreat from there......"
Zhu Jie smiled bitterly: "You are very relieved, you probably haven't arrived in India yet, this guy Mu Feng stabbed something in the South Seas, and wiped out a caravan of the Kingdom of England in one fell swoop in the South China Sea, if the news reaches India, how can the English people be willing to give up?" ”
Shi Kefa was really startled, and asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, is this true?" ”
Zhu Jie nodded and said with a wry smile: "What, do I still joke about such a thing?" ”
Shi Kefa said helplessly: "Your Majesty, in the future, you have to restrain Inspector Qin, on the battlefield, in the face of the enemy, no matter how you kill, it is due, the enemy lives and dies, you can't have any mercy, but normal trade exchanges, you can't kill at will, if the armies of all countries are like Inspector Qin, then it's okay?" How else do business travelers from various countries conduct business trade? Who would dare to come to the South Seas to trade? Who would dare to come to Daming to trade? How is this kind of behavior different from piracy? ”
Qin Mufeng said dissatisfiedly: "Master Shi, do you think Lao Tzu wants to kill innocently? Killing one more person will create one more sin, but if the English leaked the news at that time, and let the Spaniards get the news of our attack on the South Seas in advance, I am afraid that our Ming fleet and Tianxiong army will not know how much price they will pay! ”
"That's it! Mu Feng, it's your fault at this time! You don't have to quibble, indiscriminately killing innocents, it's not right after all, if you want the Ming Dynasty to have countless wealth, then you must ensure the safety of maritime trade, this time it is indeed a bit excessive, and now we can only hope that there is no leakage of news......"
Cha Zhu persuaded on the side.
Zhu Jie waved his hand and replied: "Forget it, let's get this matter over, even if we want the English to collect some interest!" Xianzhi, now that Java and Luzon are under our control, Borneo will not take a few days to be taken by Zhao Xin, I have set my sights on Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula, once we take Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula, then the entire South Seas will fall into our hands, you are the first governor of the South Seas, tell me, what is the strategy? ”
Shi Kefa muttered: "Your Majesty, although the territory of the South Seas is not very wide, but the islands are dotted and scattered on the Pacific Ocean, it is unrealistic to want to manage the entire South Seas by relying on the power of the ministers alone, and the ministers think that there are four strategies: first, divide and rule, Luzon, Borneo, Java and Sumatra four political envoys, set up a political envoy yamen; Second, the military and government were separated, and the general army of the four towns was set up to be responsible for the defense of Nanyang, with our Daming military town as the mainstay, supplemented by local mercenaries, and the political envoy and the four military towns were independent of each other; Third, the car is on the same track, the book is the same text, the Chinese civilization is promoted, the teachings of Confucius and Mencius are practiced, the Chinese characters are learned, and the customs are changed; Fourth, immigrants can be encouraged to come to Nanyang to cultivate land or engage in business and trade. Fifth, set up the Nanyang Fleet to patrol the Nanyang and ensure that the Nanyang is under the control of the Ming Dynasty at any time! ”
Zhu Jie nodded and replied: "Well, it seems that Xianzhi has not been idle these days, and he has a deep understanding of the situation in Nanyang!" ”
Shi Kefa hurriedly bowed down and said: "The emperor has praised it falsely, and the ministers dare not be ashamed!" ”
Zhu Jie replied: "The decree is to seize all the ships of the Spanish and Dutch fleets to form the Nanyang Fleet, and appoint Zheng Cai as the first admiral of the Nanyang Fleet, temporarily stationed in Batavia, and in the future move to the Strait of Malacca, responsible for the entire coastal defense of the South Seas; Second, the Nanyang branch of Luzon, Borneo, Java, and Sumatra four political envoys, in the future will also set up a Malay political envoy, Shi Kefa is the first person to be the governor of the five provinces of Nanyang, control the military and political affairs of Nanyang, send a decree back to the capital, order the cabinet to consult, determine the Nanyang prefecture and county, and select officials to serve in Nanyang; second, to prepare for the construction of the three towns of Nanyang, garrison Luzon, Batavia and Malacca, and send soldiers from the Tianwei Army to various parts of Nanyang for defense, local defense, you can recruit local personnel to set up patrol battalions to solve, and the military town and fleet are only responsible for military defense; Third, immigration, within 10 years, more than 500,000 people will emigrate to Nanyang, and within 30 years, more than 3 million people will immigrate to Nanyang to open up wasteland, open mines, and do business; Fourth, recruit talents from China to run schools in Nanyang and popularize the imperial examination system; The rest of the affairs will be discussed when I return to the court; ”
Shi Kefa said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, in terms of government affairs, there is nothing for the minister to take charge of alone, but in terms of military affairs, the minister proposed that another governor could be set up to be responsible for the defense of Nanyang and lead the land and water army!" ”
Zhu Jie muttered: "Since this is the case, then let Tan Guilin stay, appoint Tan Guilin as the governor of Nanyang military affairs, and assist in Nanyang government affairs!" ”
