In the month after the end of the Burma War, the envoy fleet led by Lu Tianxiang, Zhang Ruifeng, and Fan Chao also arrived in Malacca with envoys from various countries along the way.

At this moment, two hiccups appeared.

First, since both divisions stationed in Quang Nam Province were transferred to attack Burma, the Vietnamese Nguyen took the opportunity to invade Binh Thong Long (Champ).

Second, the kingdom of Pattani on the Malay Peninsula was attacked by its subordinate power, Kelantan. The queen of Pattani asked China to send troops to help, and was willing to sacrifice her land and submit to the throne of the queen and become China's overseas governor instead.

Queen Pattani ran away on a sea ship and went straight to Palembang for help, just in time to meet a fleet of envoys who were supplying here.

Lu Tianxiang and Zhang Ruifeng met with the Queen of Pattani.

This queen's name is Datuk Kuning, and she is over half a hundred years old. She spoke fluently in Cantonese: "Foreign Minister Zhang Hezhen, knock on the mother, knock on the angel!" ”

Kwong Hong, the Governor of Palembang, stood next to him as an interpreter.

Lu Tianxiang was puzzled: "The queen of the foreign domain, how can her surname be Zhang, and she can speak Cantonese?" ”

Kwong Hong explained: "Qi Yu Niangniang, the queen's uncle, is the great pirate Lin Daoqian during the Longqing period. During the Wanli period, Lin Daoqian led more than 2,000 Chaozhou pirates and more than 100 sea ships, made a horse in the country of Beitani, and changed his surname to Zhang. Lin Daoqian's wife, two aunts, and the daughter of the little aunt in front of him have become the queen of Pattani. ”

"One family, four queens?" Lu Tianxiang thought it was very interesting.

Lin Hezhen knelt on the ground: "The old woman has no heirs under her knees, and now she is being bullied by her country, and she can't bear to lose her ancestral inheritance." Ask the imperial court to send troops to help, if you can recapture Pattani, the old woman is willing to be the governor of Pattani. After the death of the old woman, the imperial court can send officials to the governor of the Patina! ”

Lu Tianxiang looked at Kuang Hong.

Kwong Hong said: "This is feasible. ”

The four queens of Pattani are known as the Green Queen, the Blue Queen, the Purple Queen, and the Yellow Queen.

Decades ago, the Sultan of Pattani died and was succeeded by his young sons and nephews, all of whom were assassinated by the Sultan's relatives.

In a series of conspiracies and killings, Lin Daoqian's sister Lin Jinyue (Lin Cizhen) was killed in battle, but she kept the foundation of the local Han people, and after her death, the local Han people built temples to seal the gods. Until hundreds of years later, Pattanii Port in Thailand was still dedicated to this "Lin girl", and its temple was called "Lingci Holy Palace".

In the tenth year after Miss Lin's death, the last male member of the royal family in Pattani died.

At that time, Lin Daoqian had also died of illness, and the aristocratic group elected his wife to be the queen, that is, the green queen.

The nobles wanted to support a puppet, but they didn't expect to support a fierce girl from the sky.

As soon as the Green Queen succeeded to the throne, the prime minister led 5,000 troops into the palace, and the guards fled in panic.

And the green queen was not in a hurry and stood alone at the gate of the palace. In the face of 5,000 rebels, it seemed to be reviewing the army, and calmly asked the prime minister: "Do you want to rebel and stand on your own?" ”

The prime minister was speechless for a moment, not only intimidated by the queen's momentum, but also thought of the Han people who supported the queen, and knelt down on the spot to express his submission.

Later, an English adventurer, seeing the 60-year-old queen, praised the monarchs of the whole East, and none of them could match her bearing. The commander-in-chief of the Dutch East India Fleet described in his diary: "Her reign was very peaceful, and her relations with the nobles and ministers were very harmonious. ”

Is it true that a queen who has ended more than 30 years of chaotic politics is really so peaceful?

It's just that no one dares to object anymore.

This queen has her own trading fleet and is supported by thousands of Han Chinese forces. During her reign, she made Pattani a port city on the Malay Peninsula second only to Malacca, and even incorporated the surrounding small countries as subject countries.

But she did not leave an heir and was succeeded by her second sister.

The second sister also lost her husband at an early age and still had no heirs, so she let the third sister succeed to the throne after her death.

The third sister is the purple queen, who is extremely tough both internally and externally. He even declared independence from Siam and gave up the duke title of Siam, which directly triggered the war with Siam.

On the Siamese side, it was Yamada Nagamasa who sent troops to quell the rebellion.

Under the leadership of the Purple Queen, Pattani not only repelled the Japanese musketeers, but also wounded Yamada Nagamasa. This is the father of King Narai, who secretly bought the enemy and poisoned the injured Yamada Nagamasa.

But the Purple Queen was too tough and offended both at home and abroad, leaving a sinkhole to start with for her daughter.

Queen Huang, the old woman who turned to China for help in front of her, was the unlucky daughter, who was almost vacated by the aristocracy at the beginning of her reign. She relieved her diplomatic dilemma by repaying tribute to Siam, but was soon persecuted by the state of Johor.

Because when Queen Huang was young, she was promised to be married to the Prince of Johor. When relations between the two countries were strained, Pattani unilaterally broke off the marriage, which was seen as a great shame by the Prince of Johor. After the Prince of Johor succeeded to the throne, he gave away his son and forced Queen Huang to marry his son.

Queen Huang was forty years old at the time and was forced to marry Xiao Xianrou, who was in her teens.

It smells so good!

The queen was completely fascinated by the little fresh meat and handed over a lot of power to the little fresh meat prince.

Xiao Xianrou took advantage of the queen's pregnancy, proclaimed himself the Sultan of Pattani, and drove the queen to live in the palace pavilion, causing the queen to miscarry. And Xiao Xianrou himself was crazy about marrying wives and concubines, and forced the aristocratic ministers to send their wives and daughters to the palace.

The nobles and ministers of Pattani led troops into the palace, killed all the Johor guards, and executed Xiao Xianrou.

Queen Huang, who is in love with her brain, although she has been humiliated, actually pleads for Xiao Xianrou. For the sake of the queen's face, Pattani expelled the little fresh meat prince.

Since then, the queen has completely lost power and become a puppet of the nobles, and the national power of Pattani has gradually declined.

Just a month ago, Pattani's vassal state rebelled and directly sent troops to destroy Pattani. With the help of a caravan of Han Chinese, Queen Huang fled to Palembang by ship and asked for Chinese troops.

Kwong Hung asked, "How many Han people are there in Pattani?" ”

Queen Huang figured it out and replied, "There are probably one or two thousand, or twenty or thirty thousand." ”

Kwong Hung asked again: "How many troops are there in Kelantan's invaders?" ”

"I don't know." Queen Huang has long cared about state affairs, only knowing that there are many enemies who have entered the city.

Kuang Hong turned around and said, "Niangniang, let's send troops." Hit Kelantan directly, the distance is closer, you don't have to run that far. ”

Lu Tianxiang went around Europe, became much calmer, and said: "Sending troops is a big deal, do you want to think about it in the long run?" ”

Zhang Ruifeng also said: "It's time to discuss it again." ”

Kuang Hong said with a smile: "Niang Niang Rongbing, the ministers of the large and small countries in this vicinity have long been familiar with it. That Kelantan, which is also a subject country of the Celestial Empire, has only one city, and can it support thousands of troops if it dies? There was no even need to attack the city, the army drove to the port, sent messengers to ask for the guilt, and the Sultan would order the withdrawal of troops from Pattani. ”

"Is it really that easy?" Zhang Ruifeng expressed skepticism.

"In this South China Sea, who doesn't know the majesty of the Celestial Empire? He is a small city-state, forgive him and dare not touch the tiger's beard! "Kuang Hong is arrogant.

As a result, the fleet of Chinese envoys, under the leadership of Fan Chao, slaughtered Kelantan.

Before entering the port, the Sultan sent a ship to greet him and respectfully led the Chinese fleet to the port to dock.

Zhang Ruifeng scolded sharply: "Kelantan is a vassal of China, and Pattani is also a vassal of China, why does Kelantan send troops to attack Pattani without authorization?" ”

The dude was speechless.

Zhang Ruifeng said: "Go back immediately and tell the king to let him withdraw his troops from Pattani." Also, you have robbed Pattani, and you must be compensated. I have sent troops here, and I have spent military money, and I must also compensate! ”

This person was so frightened that he hurriedly ran back to see the Sultan, and as he ran, the Datong Navy suddenly opened fire.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Dozens of shells landed near the city walls, killing several unlucky people, and causing chaos inside and outside the city.

"Which country's army is coming?" Sultan Raja Sakti panicked.

After a short time, the officials he sent out crawled to the palace: "Your Majesty, the Chinese army has come to ask for the guilt, let us immediately withdraw our troops from Pattani, and compensate for the losses of Pattani and the military expenses of China's troops." ”

Raja Sakti was paralyzed with fright, he saw that the Chinese army was fighting Burma, and he also saw the weakening of the national strength of Pattani, so he ran to destroy the country.

Just supported his son as the Sultan of Pattani, it has been less than a month, why did the Chinese army kill him?

Thinking about it, I really can't bear it.

Raja Sakti led the minister of civil and military affairs to the port to kneel down and plead guilty, crying: "Angel Rong Bing, it was that Pattani who bullied our country. Our country has become a vassal state of the Celestial Empire, and Pattani still treats us as a vassal country and has been forcing us to pay tribute. This time the troops were not annexed to the territory, but forced to resist. ”

Zhang Ruifeng sneered: "Resisted to occupy the palace of Pattani, and also canonized his son as the Sultan of Pattani?" Don't say so much, immediately order the withdrawal of the troops, and prepare money to compensate for the losses. If you dare to delay any longer, your country will be wiped out! ”

"Compliance...... Yes, sir. Raja Sakti was remorseful.

This transaction has made a lot of losses, stealing chickens and rice, not getting any benefits, and having to compensate a huge amount of money.

But what can you do if you don't do it?

He is the city, and the villages and towns around it. A typical city-state is simply powerless to resist the Chinese army.

In this way, the Datong Navy fired a single artillery shot, and forced the Kelantan Kingdom to spit out Pattani.

Queen Huang was sent back to Pettani to temporarily serve as the governor of Pattani, and after her death, China sent officials to serve as governor. Of course, Lu Tianxiang also left some people in charge of various official positions in Pattani, which is tantamount to setting up Queen Huang.

There are probably more than 10,000 Han Chinese living here, enough for China to establish effective rule.

When the envoy fleet left Pattani and sailed to Bintong Long, the Da Dong army was attacking Nguyen Thi in Vietnam.

Yang Zhan was very angry, he left Quang Nam Province with his front foot, and Nguyen Thi sent troops to Bin Thong Long with his back foot.

As soon as the Burmese side was finished, after receiving the news, Yang Zhan immediately led the army back and wanted to teach Ruan a lesson fiercely.
