832 [Small Countries]

Batavia has two old names, one is called "Sunda Galaba", which means "coconut city", and the Han people simply call it "coconut city".

After the change of dynasty, it was renamed "Chaya Garda", which means "Triumphal City", and the Han people simply called it "Jakarta".

As for "Batavia", it was changed by the Dutch.

After discussions between the court envoys and the local Han Chinese, it was agreed that the old name of "Coconut City" should be restored. What Jakarta, what Batavia, there will be no more in the future.

"Just came the news that another sultan has emerged from the country of Matalan." Liu Hanyi laughed happily.

Sun Jue said: "Let them continue to fight, and then ask the court to canonize when the fight is almost over." ”

Today, the Sultan of Mataram is dead, even the royal family members have been killed, and the capital of Mataram has been burned.

The kingdom of Mataran was divided into five parts, four sultans and one governor.

An aristocratic landowner, who established himself in Bryanan (Bandung), declared himself the Sultan of Bryan.

An aristocratic landowner, founded a state in the southwestern part of the capital of the Mataran Plains, claiming to be the Sultan of Solo.

A noble landowner, founded a state in the southeast of the capital of Mataram Plain, claiming to be the Sultan of Yogyakarta.

A noble landowner, with the support of the local Han Chinese, founded a state in the port of Surabaya, claiming to be the Sultan of Surabaya (Sultan of Surabaya).

A Han landowner who established himself as governor of Semarang, and was subordinate to the governor of Semarang in China.

These five guys, all sent people to Coconut City (Batavia) to ask the Chinese emperor to canonize himself quickly, and it would be better if the Chinese army could send troops to help.

Because, they are still at war!

The Sultan of Buryan was about to expand eastward, when the Banten army suddenly attacked from behind.

Sultan Solo and Sultan of Yogyakarta had previously teamed up to kill King Matalan. They burned and looted the original capital, and each established a new capital nearby, because it was so close that the two sides were almost in a desperate situation.

On the contrary, the Sultan of Surabaya is the most relaxed, constantly eliminating the small forces around him, and he is already about to unify East Java. If they continue to fight, they will have to cross the strait to attack Bali in the west, and they will have to cross the strait to attack Bali in the east.

"Ambassador, another messenger asks to see you."

"Bring him in."

A native covered in wounds was brought to Liu Hanyi, and he knelt down and said, "Please send troops to rescue Boliangan!" ”

Liu Hanyi asked, "You were sent by the Sultan of Buryan?" ”

The native envoy said: "The 100,000 troops of the Banten Kingdom have captured Sugawumei and are marching towards the city of Buryan. Envoy, if you don't send any more troops, it's too late! ”

Sugawumei is just a small town, which originally belonged to the country of Banten and was forcibly occupied by the Dutch. When the Banten army conquered there, it was really not called taking the opportunity to invade, it could be said to have regained lost territory.

"You go and heal first, and I'll take care of it." Liu Hanyi said ambiguously.

After the native envoy left, Sun Jue said: "There is no need to send troops, the rainy season has arrived, it has been raining for the past two days, and it is impossible for the army of Banten to fight again." ”

Liu Hanyi said: "But the country of Bandan must be beaten, and when we were besieging the city, we took the opportunity to loot the Han farms in the suburbs. ”

"Just reprimand the envoy and take the opportunity to demarcate a clear territory," Sun Jue said, "As a punishment for the Wandan Kingdom, the territory around Coconut City must be extended twenty miles outward. But let's not go too far, we can recognize the territory that Banten has recently recovered. ”

This suggestion was disgusting, and the city of Coconut (Batavia) expanded outward twenty miles, and the new territory was all flat land with fertile soil.

Most of the territories recently recovered by Banten are mountainous.

It is equivalent to assigning the former mountainous territory of Mataram to Banten Kingdom as compensation. And the fertile flat land of Banten has carved out a large area to be ruled by China.

Just ask you if you want to do it, who let you loot the Han farm?

"Boom!"

The rainy season on the island of Java has officially arrived, as if a hole has been poked out of the sky, and it is pouring rain all day long.

The fighting in various places has also ended, and everyone has ceased to take troops, and there will be something to talk about after the rainy season.

The army of Banten also retreated, and some of them were stationed in Sukawumei, and the remaining soldiers were all disbanded and returned home. The Sultan of Buryan was finally able to catch his breath, and after being beaten by the Banten army, his territory was only left with the city of Buryanan and its surroundings, and by the way, there was another sultanate to the north.

A merchant in the port of Cirebon, taking advantage of the attack on Banten in Breadian, suddenly chose to launch a rebellion and proclaimed the establishment of the Cirebon Sultanate.

The Sultanate of Cirebon also existed before, and it was also the parent state of the Banten Kingdom.

At that time, the Sultan of Cirebon conquered the Banten region and sent his son to serve as the Sultan of Banten. Later, the kingdom of Banten became independent from the state of Cirebon, and the state of Cirebonne was destroyed by Matalan.

Now it's cool, the palm-sized island of Java has been split into eight forces.

One is the Banten Sultanate, where most of the country is on the island of Java. The second is China's Coconut City (Batavia). The third is the Bryanan Sultanate. The fourth is the Sultanate of Cirebon. Fifth, the jurisdiction of the Governor of Semarang. Sixth, the Sultanate of Solo. The seventh is the Sultanate of Yogyakarta. The eighth is the Sultanate of Surabaya.

Sun Jue braved the rain to go to Banten City and soon met Banten Sultan Ah Geng.

"Meet the Chinese Envoy!" Ageng Sultan was very polite.

Sun Jue rebuked: "As a Chinese subject, why did you plunder the manors and farmlands of the Chinese? Don't tell me that the robbers did it, we caught a few alive, and all of them confessed to being Banten soldiers. ”

Ah Geng explained: "Your Excellency, the Chinese army is besieging Jakarta (Batavia), and Banten, as a vassal country, must of course send troops to help. Xiao Wang thought to himself at that time that Jakarta had been surrounded, and it would be useless to increase his troops, so it was better to attack Madalan, a subject country of the Netherlands. Therefore, Xiao Wang ordered the troops to be gathered, and the vanguard troops set off in advance, but who knew that the generals were not strictly restrained, and hundreds of soldiers violated the order to loot the farm. This incident was completely accidental, and it was definitely not ordered by Xiao Wang. ”

Sun Jue sneered and threatened: "In this way, as soon as the rainy season is over, it will be an accident for the Chinese army to surround Banten City!" ”

Ah Geng was frightened by this statement, in his opinion, the Dutch army was very powerful, and the Banten soldiers could not resist at all. The Chinese army, on the other hand, could beat the Dutch, and its combat effectiveness could throw the Banten army out of eight streets.

Batavia was captured by the Chinese army, where could Banten be defended?

Moreover, Ah Geng didn't lie, this time it was really an accident.

The land owned by the Han landlords was originally encroached upon from the territory of Banten. The local Banten natives have a blood feud with the Han landlords.

When Banten attacked the vanguard of the Buryaan region, passing by the outskirts of the Han manor, hundreds of local soldiers took the opportunity to run to the Han farms to rob and vent their anger. Of course, Banten is not without responsibility, and the generals of the vanguard team have not strictly restrained this, and it can even be said that they are conniving.

Ah Geng was afraid of attracting the Chinese army, so he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, the loss of the Chinese landlords, we will compensate according to the price." Generals who do not restrain their soldiers strictly, Xiao Wang will also punish them severely. ”

"Of course, there must be compensation, but not money and food, your behavior is already a war against the suzerain!"

Sun Jue threatened, and then the lion opened his mouth: "As a punishment, the land east of Jia Weilan belongs to China!" ”

"This ...... Absolutely not! Sultan Ageng trembled with anger.

Sun Jue demanded a sky-high price, not only asking for the land that Wanten had just recovered, but also cutting a large piece of the original land of Wandan.

Sun Jue asked rhetorically: "Then what do you say you should do?" By the way, Sultan Bryanan has asked His Majesty the Emperor of China to canonize him. The territory you have just occupied should be returned to the Sultan of Buryan. ”

Sultan Ageng is not yet forty years old, he is in the prime of life, and he is quite ambitious.

Sun Jue's blackmail-style intimidation has completely angered Ah Geng, and he wants to cut Sun Jue with a knife, and then start a war with China completely recklessly.

Thinking about the Dutch who were driven away by China, Ah Geng forcibly swallowed another breath of evil breath: "Lord Envoy, the area we captured this time was originally the homeland of Banten Kingdom......

"Homeland?" Sun Jue directly interrupted, "Why don't you say it, half of the horse is blue, it is the territory of the Cirebon Sultanate." And you, the Sultan of Banten, are in the same vein as Cirebum. Do you want me to give you half of Java? By the way, Jakarta (Batavia) is also the homeland of Banten, do you want China to give Jakarta back? ”

Ah Geng was speechless for an instant.

After holding back for a long time, Ah Geng held back his anger and said, "Please be more merciful to the messenger." ”

Sun Jue was embarrassed: "In this way, the territory you fought before is recognized by China as belonging to the Kingdom of Wandan." As for the area of Jakarta's rule, it continues to stretch outward for fifty miles. ”

Ah Geng said: "If you extend fifty miles outward, the territory that the Banten Kingdom has just recovered will be separated by the jurisdiction of China. In the future, we will fight against Bryan, and we can only march with difficulty from the mountains! ”

"Alright then, just extend it outward for twenty miles, leaving a piece of flat land for the march of the Banten Kingdom." Sun Jue continued to back down.

Ah Geng said in a pleading tone: "How about extending ten miles outward?" ”

"Impossible!" Sun Jue refused.

Ah Geng could only accept it helplessly.

Truth be told, much of China's expansion is a large forest, with only sporadic indigenous farming and hunting. Even if you give up, it will be acceptable to Banten.

The main problem is the strategic location, the sea is just such a flat land, the Chinese jurisdiction extends outward, leaving the eastward passage of Banten is very narrow, almost blocking the country of Banten in the westernmost part of Java Island!

That night, Sultan Ageng, who was angry and aggrieved, had to hold a banquet to warmly entertain Sun Jue.

At the end of the banquet, Ah Geng called his eldest son Ha Yi, gritted his teeth and said: "This is an unprecedented shame, China is very strong now, and I have no power to fight against China." But you have to remember that you will be a sultan in the future, and you must always be wary of the Chinese. If China continues to be strong, it will be careful to follow them. Once China declines, send troops to kill it, retake our Jakarta, and kill the Chinese there cleanly! ”
