The hall suddenly became silent, and the Sumatran envoy shuddered and threatened the Ming Emperor on the grounds of refusing to pay tribute, but he never thought that Zhu Jun was simply neat, and suddenly severed the vassal relationship of Sumatra, and also ordered the sailor to go to sea, which was a big game.

"What are you still doing, fork this person out, and deport him. Go back and tell your king, and prepare to meet the enemy. Zhu Jun flicked his sleeves and shouted angrily, since he wants to kill chickens and scare monkeys, he naturally wants to perform this play well, the world is so big, it is not the king's land, it is no longer a lie, the obedient will give you a place to live and live, and the disobedient will naturally pull it out to set an example for others, otherwise the majesty will be lost, and it is inevitable that someone will ride on the head.

Several guards of the standing hall immediately rushed up, cut off the Sumatran hours' hands and escorted them out.

Zhu Jun swept his eyebrows and said to the trembling envoys of various countries: "The country of projectiles, it is really hateful to disobey the king, if I don't punish it a little, and move the noble king of his clan to the dynasty to tie his hands, where is the prestige of the Celestial Empire?" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The envoys lost no time in hurriedly complimenting them, and with the Sumatra stunned man as a precedent, the envoys certainly knew what it meant to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and what it meant to be under the roof, so they had to bow their heads.

Zhu Jun's complexion softened a little, sat back on the Luan chair, and said: "The Great Tomorrow Dynasty has always been in harmony with its neighbors, and I don't have any personal grudges against foreign vassals, but you are too presumptuous, and you actually privately related to the port and wharf, and do not allow the legitimate merchants of the Ming Dynasty to trade back and forth. ”

The envoys nodded yes one after another, praising Zhu Jun for his generosity and kindness, as for what they thought in their hearts, I'm afraid only the ghost knows.

Zhu Jun put on a smiling face, seemed to completely forget the unpleasantness of Sumatra, and pointed to a few officials of the Ministry of Rites on the side and said: "I have drafted some articles of trade, you can read them first, and then report to the lords of each country, and let your lords stamp the gold seal below, in duplicate." ”

The officials of the Ministry of Rites held a stack of papers similar to the folds of the paper and distributed them to the envoys, the envoys took it and looked at it, but they were relieved, the conditions inside were not harsh, the Ming only emphasized the freedom of trade, and agreed on tariffs, the tariffs are quite reasonable, according to this, in the future, the treasury income of the countries may mostly depend on the tariffs of the Ming maritime merchants, in addition, the documents continue to reiterate that the countries must protect the safety of the merchants, and the Ming merchants who commit adultery can be punished by the countries themselves, but they must be reported to the Ming Dynasty, if there is a wrongful case, the two countries will negotiate a settlement.

"What do you think?" Zhu Jun smiled faintly, compared with the European colonization in later generations, Zhu Jun's conditions can be said to be very generous, and he Ming merchants sell commercial goods, neither slave trade, nor opium trafficking, trade freedom is about competition, which country's goods are good and cheap, naturally it is advantageous, your own country's handicraft industry is not as good as other people's industry, that is not good for you, closing the country will only gradually widen this gap, in the long run, it is not beneficial to the countries of the South Seas.

"His Majesty the Emperor Shengming!" The envoys agreed in a hurry, it should not be done, the knife was on the neck, and the private relationship with the harbor was originally their fault.

Zhu Jun nodded with a smile. The voice was lacking. The envoys resigned with amusement.

It was agreed verbally. To get the kings of the countries to sign free trade agreements, they need to rely on force. Now I am afraid that all countries are watching Sumatra fall. If the Great Ming Sailor wins. Naturally, the agreement was signed immediately. Send an envoy to pay tribute again. If the Ming army is defeated. I'm afraid that many countries will turn their faces and deny their accounts.

Sumatra is located in the Strait of Malacca. It is adjacent to the island of Java. Geographically closer to the port of Malacca than Java. Therefore. The port of Java and the land of Malacca, the Ming maritime trade, earned the most silver in Sumatra. Sumatra was also the first country to close its ports. There is no other reason. The merchants of Malacca only need to prepare their goods. It takes an hour to reach Sumatra by boat. It's quick and easy. It also saves a lot of freight. Therefore. Sumatra's Daming goods are not only exquisite. And it's inexpensive. In just half a year. The entire island of Sumatra has been flooded with all kinds of Ming merchants. As big as a carriage mechanic. As small as the nail boot cap. The subsistence economy has suffered a major blow. After the labor pains. King Sultan Khan of Sumatra immediately closed the seaport. Daming merchant ships are not allowed to dock. Immediately afterwards, countries followed suit. As a result, there are tens of millions of large merchant ships in the Daming Sea, but they can only go to Japan, Ryukyu and even Korea and other countries for ocean trade.

The text of the Ming Dynasty's crusade has not yet been published. The Sumatran envoys had returned to Sumatra and hurried to the royal capital, Banda Aceh. King Sultan Khan was taken aback. On the other hand, he sent an envoy to Haidu to plead guilty. On the one hand, he ordered to reorganize the armament for war. This time. The Ming Dynasty's crusade against Zhuwen has reached Sumatra. Liu Erdi's Nanyang Naval Division has officially gone to sea.

The northern part of Java is separated from the southern part of Sumatra by only one bay. The total length is no more than a few nautical miles. The Daming water division is moored in the narrow

Bay. Constant bombardment of southern ports in Sumatra began. Liu Er fell and merged with Lu. The Nanyang Naval Division has now received another 5,000 recruits. The entire number of sailors is nearly 20,000. In addition to ten thousand veterans. Most of the rest of the land were not familiar with naval warfare. It's good to let the new gunners train their soldiers.

A few days later, the ports in the south of Sumatra were bombed by the sailors, and the defenders and civilians began to flee inland.

The naval battle was fought and there was no way to fight back, and King Sultan Han could only order all ports to be abandoned, and the tens of thousands of troops who had temporarily recruited were deployed under the royal city to wait for the Ming army to land for a decisive battle.

Liu Er did not enjoy the bombing, still unwilling to go ashore to land, although the naval division has a landing combat marines, but compared to the full-time army is a little worse, therefore, the naval division is the safest on the ship, at this time, the emperor's will was promulgated, reprimanded Liu Er, let him march as soon as possible, not to be delayed, Liu Er then let the landing on the north bank of Sumatra, ready for a decisive battle.

Liu Er considered a tactical problem, using the method of encirclement and suppression can almost cut off Sumatra's contacts with the outside world with a single soldier, and then let the coastal naval divisions land and harass them, and destroy their production, within half a year, Sumatra will encounter a great famine, and it will be easy to send troops to land at that time. But Zhu Jun was thinking about political issues, so many countries in Nanyang were watching, and they all thought that the Ming army was cowardly, which was extremely unfavorable to the implementation of free trade.

10,000 marines landed, then quickly captured the town, and finally fought in the city of Banda Aceh, their opponent was tens of thousands of ragged soldiers armed with spears and swords, Sumatran King Sultan Han personally led the team, trying to boost morale, but the gap in strength was not made up by morale, the Turkish army attacked first, there was no formation, and there was no command flag, only someone blew a low humming horn, and then there was a mountain of roars, countless unclothed, The barefoot native soldiers swarmed to attack the Ming army's position.

"Boom, boom, boom... The artillery began to bombard, and then the musketeers stood in two rows to reload their ammunition, and the few sword and shield men protected the flanks.

The artillery bombardment plummeted the morale of the soldiers, and many fled in fear, but many more pounced.

"Bang bang.... In the second row, the second row of loaded musketeers stepped forward and pulled the trigger: "Bang bang bang ...

As if cutting wheat, rows of native soldiers who rushed to the front fell with a thud, and corpses were strewn all over the field.

"Bang bang... Then came the second column, which did not give any buffer to the charging native soldiers, and within eighty zhang, countless corpses began to pile up.

As Liu Er, who supervised the battle of the Chinese army, expected, when the casualties reached ten to one, the soldiers began to collapse, and countless people threw away their wooden spears and ran back barefoot.

"It's over, herald, the whole army marches in formation!" Liu Er raised the order flag.

The marines began to advance in the formation of long serpents, and the Sultan Han entered the royal city with the routed native soldiers, hoping to rely on the city to defend it. At this time, there was a roar of artillery in the Ming army, and then the soldiers saw that the city wall gradually collapsed under the artillery fire, and several gaps were blown up. The only thing that represents a soldier is the weapon in his hand, and as soon as the weapon is thrown, it will naturally change its appearance.

The Ming army began to enter the city in groups, Liu Er rode a horse to a gap, and a soldier had already run quickly: "General Liu, go and see, there is a lively scene." ”

When Liu Er arrived at the place of the incident, he was almost laughed off the horse, desperately held back, and looked at the short and fat old man under the horse, who was bare-chested and exposed at this time, his hands were cut back, and a few branches were inserted behind his back, and when he saw Liu Er, he hurriedly said: "The lord of the lower country collided with Wang Shi, and I am here to take the blame and welcome Wang Shi into the city." ”

This fat old man is the king of Sumatra, Sultan Han, he saw that the general trend has gone, and was about to flee for his life, but was stopped by a minister, telling him the allusion that the Ming people bear the guilt of Jing pleading, maybe he can save his life, lucky this king can continue to mix, Sultan Han has nothing to do, but let people sit and prepare, but for a while they can't find the thorns, they can only take branches instead.
