Since the Dutch seized Malacca, they have set their sights on the Philippines.

In the past few years, troops have to be sent almost every year. But they did not dare to attack Manila directly, but plundered Spanish merchant ships, and by the way, plundered Chinese merchant ships, and then took a cold landing operation to uproot the Spanish outlying strongholds in the southern islands.

In a narrow sense, Cebu is just a large island.

Broadly speaking, Cebu Island also includes the surrounding archipelago.

Magellan forced the island's natives to convert to Yahweh, and then helped the natives in their wars, hoping to turn all the natives of the nearby archipelago into Yahweh. Then Magellan was killed by the hostile natives.

Between the archipelagos, there are Spanish batteries everywhere, which have been destroyed by the Dutch more than a dozen in recent years.

The Spaniards had a lot of headaches for this kind of teddy behavior, but their strength had declined too much. Every time they encountered a Dutch attack, they could only retreat in the castle to defend, and sometimes the shore batteries were simply abandoned.

This time, the Netherlands sent 20 warships, not only carrying Dutch soldiers, but also carrying more than 3,000 natives from Brunei and Sulu to Cebu Island. After landing, they quickly uprooted the outlying stronghold and surrounded Fort San Petro near the port.

However, only the natives who fought with the Dutch, and the sultans of Brunei and Sulu did not agree to assist the Dutch in the war.

Even the Sultan of Brunei was more inclined to support Spain.

When the Dutch laid siege to Cebu Island, fighting in the north had not yet broken out, and a Chinese fleet sailed towards the capital of Brunei.

Zheng Guozhong disembarked with a hundred soldiers around him, and under the leadership of Fujian maritime merchants, he went straight to the royal city of Brunei.

The Sultan of Brunei, Abdul Jariru Abba, didn't understand what was going on for a while. Seeing that the Chinese fleet seemed to be very strong, he sent a minister to meet with the envoys to find out what the Chinese were here for.

Half a day passed, and the minister Sulevin rushed into the palace: "Your Majesty, the Chinese emperor wants to canonize you as the king of Boni." ”

Sultan Abba felt very nonsense: "I was originally a king, why should the Chinese emperor be canonized?" ”

Minister Sulevin explained: "Your Majesty, your ancestors are Chinese, and Brunei used to be called Boniguo. The Chinese envoy said that your ancestor's grave was in Nanjing, and he had already sent someone to repair and worship it. If...... If ......"

"What if?" Abba Sultan asked.

Su Lewen replied stubbornly: "The Chinese envoy said that if His Majesty does not recognize his ancestors, the Huang family should recognize him, and then he can only canonize the Huang family as the king of Boni." If the Huang family does not recognize their ancestors, then choose a random surname Huang and pass on to the Boni royal family to be crowned king. ”

"He's a threat!" Abba Sultan was furious.

The royal family of Brunei is half of Chinese descent and the other half of Arabic ancestry.

Hundreds of years later, the flag of Brunei has two slashes, representing two princes in history, one of whom is Wong Sen Ping.

Huang Senping was the commander of the Tengchong Guard in Yunnan under Zhu Yuanzhang, and the stone city in Tengchong was built by him. Even the name "Senping" was given by Zhu Yuanzhang, because he defeated the Japanese in Senpingtan.

After arriving in Kalimantan, Wong Sen Ping came to the aid of King Bo Ni and successfully resisted the Sulu and Malay invasions. The king married his daughter to Huang Senping as a concubine, and the king's younger brother married Huang Senping's sister, and the two families ruled the Bo Ni Kingdom together, but had their own ruling territories.

After the king's death, Wong Sen Ping and the king's elder brother served as regents.

After the death of the king's elder brother, a palace coup broke out, and Huang Senping supported a prince to succeed him.

In his later years, Huang Senping fell to his roots and died of illness when he arrived in Nanjing. He left three last words: first, he classified his territory in the Boni Kingdom as the territory of the Ming Dynasty; Second, it is requested to canonize the highest mountain in the South Seas as Zhenguo Mountain, which is the land of the South Seas of China's Yongzhen; Third, ask to be buried in Daming.

Huang Senping's daughter, Huang Guigu, married Ahman, the king of Boni. After Ahman's death, Huang Guigu became the queen of Bo Ni.

Huang Guigu's daughter, succeeded as the second queen. After the death of the queen, Ali became king, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, even hundreds of years later.

The Sultan of Brunei in front of him, Ababa, has the blood of Huang Senping flowing in his body.

As for the Huang family, they also settled in Brunei and had their own territory. But in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Huang family had withdrawn from Brunei's political arena and became a lord with peace of mind, farming and doing business to make a small amount of money.

Of course, Abba knows who his ancestors are, because the royal bloodline has never been broken, and the genealogy of the past generations is clearly recorded.

His distant ancestor was an Arab merchant, and his distant grandmother was the daughter of the Huang family, and the daughter of the Huang family also produced two queens.

The meaning of the Chinese envoy is obvious, if Abba does not accept the canonization of the Chinese emperor, then find a descendant of the Huang family to canonize and directly provoke a civil war in Brunei!

Sulevin said: "Your Majesty, Spanish red-haired ghost, this fight really shouldn't slaughter the Tang people. The Chinese emperor was already angry, and he joined forces with the Dutch to send troops. We have refused to cooperate with the Netherlands, should we refuse China's canonization? You can't offend both the Netherlands and China at the same time. ”

Abba has been a sultan for 46 years and is an experienced old king, and he said with a sad face: "Once you accept the canonization of the Chinese emperor, you have to help China fight." In case we can't break through Manila, what if Spain sends troops to fight us after China and the Netherlands withdraw their troops? ”

Sulevin sighed: "If we don't agree, I'm afraid it won't be Spain that will attack us, but China and the Netherlands together." ”

Abba thought about it, but there was still no way, the king of the small country was so helpless.

Sulevin persuaded: "Your Majesty, it is better to completely fall to China and obtain the protection of the Chinese emperor." This Chinese emperor, unlike the previous ones, listened to the Chinese maritime merchants say that the emperor fully opened the Chinese ports. Now, for the tragic death of the Tang people in Luzon, they will definitely expand their influence at sea in the future. Brunei was supported by the Emperor of China, the Netherlands, Spain, Sulu, Mataran...... None of these countries will dare to oppress us anymore! ”

Abba got up and walked around, pondered for a long time, and said, "Then surrender more completely, and tell the Chinese envoy to ask for the princess to be married to the Chinese emperor as a concubine." ”

The sultan had many children, and his daughter was almost married, except for the thirteenth daughter, who was young and unmarried.

Just turned 12......

Not too young, according to their teachings, a woman should marry at the age of nine.

The Brunei royal family had Chinese ancestry, and this information was provided by Fujian maritime merchants, and Zhao Han immediately sent envoys to Borneo.

This time to go to sea to fight, it was the close cooperation between the imperial court and the merchants.

For the sake of their own interests, Fujian maritime merchants can be said to fully support the emperor in the war. A lot of money and efforts were contributed, and there were also a lot of suggestions, and all kinds of Nanyang intelligence snowflakes were evacuated to Nanjing.

After Tainan was the Dutch world, and Dutch warships cruied between Taiwan and the Philippines all year round, intercepting any Chinese merchant ships they saw, and forcing Chinese merchant ships to trade in Geranza (Tainan). If you don't obey, you will be looted directly!

In order to obtain greater profits, Fujian maritime merchants tried every means to go to the Philippines, and even used smaller and faster ships to transship in Kinmen.

They are willing to bear this risk of ship destruction and death, what else would they not dare? I also dream that China actually controls the Philippines!

The royal city of Brunei.

The Chinese envoy Zheng Guozhong read out the edict of canonization, the Sultanate of Brunei was renamed the Boni Kingdom, and the Sultan of Brunei Baba was given the name Huang Nianzu, and every future generation of kings must have a Chinese name.

The old Sultan Abba knelt on his knees and sincerely accepted the canonization of the Chinese emperor, and it was not easy to be old.

Then, 12 warships and 500 soldiers were sent to fight with the Chinese army.

The fleet of Chinese envoys, with the warships of Brunei, ran to the Sultanate of Sulu next door, also to forcibly canonize the king of Sulu.

A Chinese Hui who was randomly found was led by the envoy Zheng Guozhong to the royal city of Sulu to confess his relatives.

The ancestors of the King of Brunei are buried in Nanjing, and the ancestors of the King of Sulu are buried in Dezhou, Shandong.

At that time, the whole family went together and went to Beijing to worship Zhu Di. On the way back, the king died in Texas, and the eldest son returned to Sulu to inherit the throne, while the queen, second son, third son, and retinue remained in Shandong, where many Hui people were descendants.

In the face of the sudden appearance of Chinese relatives, the Sultan of Sulu said that it was difficult to speak.

The country of Sulu was also badly bullied by Spain, and they also sent troops to resist, with the result that the territory was beaten less and less. Moreover, a large number of green cultists in Sulu were killed by the Spanish colonists.

Let's put it this way, apart from Luzon, Spain's main expansion in the Philippines is to seize the islands from the state of Sulu!

A third of the territory of the country of Sulu has already been eaten by Spain!

Although the people at the bottom are still resisting, the nobles of Sulu basically choose to lie down.

Now the Chinese envoys are coming with "royal relatives" and insist on canonizing the king of Sulu, and they are not allowed to lie down anymore, so they will quickly rise up and resist with China.

The Sultan of Sulu was so frightened that he pretended to be deaf and dumb, and respectfully entertained the Chinese envoys, but he was unwilling to accept the canonization, let alone follow China to attack Spain.

Actually, it would be nice to change the sultan.

Historically, another Sulu sultan even took the initiative to contact the Manchu Qing and asked the Manchu emperor to canonize him, wanting to use the Manchu Qing to send troops to resist the Spanish encroachment.

After eating and drinking for several days, Zheng Guozhong suddenly couldn't sit still, threw down a sentence and left: "If you don't want to submit, you are the enemy, wait for the Datong Emperor and the Netherlands to besiege together!" ”

"Boom, boom!"

The Chinese fleet and the Brunei fleet, after leaving the port, fired directly at the royal city of Sulu.

Symbolically fire the cannon, just fire a few shots and go.

The Sultan of Sulu was shocked, sent a clipper to catch up with the Chinese fleet, stood close on the ship and shouted: "My lord is willing to submit, my lord is willing to submit!" ”

The natives of northern Luzon were rebelled by China, Brunei and Sulu were also rebelled, and the Dutch led the natives to besiege the island of Cebu...... After a series of operations, the Spaniards were completely surrounded, but the governor was powerless to resist, and even the fleet did not dare to send it casually.
