Zhao Kuangbiao, the king of Jin, did not know that a crisis was slowly coming.

The Dutch secretly made it bad!

In this year in history, the Netherlands signed the Hague Agreement with Portugal. The two sides demarcated the colonial area, with the east coast of India going to the Netherlands and the west coast to Portugal. Holland undertakes

Recognizing Portugal's sovereignty over Brazil, Portugal paid the Netherlands R$4 million in compensation, to be paid over 16 years.

As a result, after the Anglo-Portuguese marriage, Portugal remained neutral and did not intervene in the Second Anglo-Dutch War, even though the Dutch broke the contract in the second year and captured the west coast of India in the third year

Cochin, Portugal is also completely stupid, just trying to maintain its suzerainty over Brazil.

The Dutch seized the coastal ports of India by all-round means, not only by force, but also in collusion with the Indian princes. 1]

Now that China and Portugal are married, Portugal has not signed the Hague Agreement again, and the economic situation of the Netherlands is even worse. Zhao Kuangbiao expanded under the nose of the Netherlands again, the Dutch

Can you still sit still?

They did not dare to go to war in person, but they still had the courage to engage in sabotage in secret.

Madurai City, heavy rain pouring.

The old king died two years ago, and the only thing he will remember for posterity is the construction of the magnificent Tiruma Lennayak Palace. This green palace is named after the king

to name it.

Madurai, a Hindu country ruled by a sultan! Jen 3]

Just 1.5 km away from this magnificent Green Church palace is the Minakshi Temple, one of the holy places of Hinduism. The temple is surrounded by four gate towers, the shortest of which is 45 meters and the most

50 meters high.

1j

The Green Cult Palace seems to want to compete with the temple, covering a vast area and beautiful architecture. It's a pity that in another time and space, it became the granary and arsenal of the British, and it was only protected after hundreds of years

Stay for a small part.

King Udaginayak received the Dutch envoy Rheinster in his palace.

Reinster said a lot, but the king was unmoved, and he continued to say with great difficulty: "The Chinese are different, whether it is Portugal or the Netherlands, we only think about it."

Get the port to do business. But China has tens of millions of people, and they not only have to do business, but also occupy land here. There will be more and more Chinese, the land of Tanjore, can't

Satisfy their appetites, and when the time comes, they will come to attack Madurai.

Sultan Udaji said: "China is far away, and it is very powerful, and I don't want to provoke them. Of course, if the Chinese invade Madurai, of course, we will also fight back

Resist, completely drive the Chinese out of here. ”

"It will be too late," Lemyster said, "that there are more and more Chinese, and when they attack, no country can resist them."

Sultan Udaji asked: "Will the Netherlands send troops?"

"The Ceylonese are rebelling against the Dutch and the soldiers need to put down the rebellion," Rheinster said. We don't have enough troops to send troops for the time being, but we can help. ”

"What helps?" Sultan Udaji asked.

Reinster said:

"300 arquebuses, two guns, and a number of ammunition, sold at a 70% discount on the previous ones.

Sultan Udaji sneered: "I thought it was a gratuitous gift. ”

Rheinster said, "The king of Mysore, north of your country, has promised to send troops. Aricamedo, the prince of Tangor, also agreed to send troops. If His Majesty sends troops together, medium

The Chinese people will be attacked from three sides. At that time, the city of Tangor and the surrounding area will be owned by His Majesty.

The Sultan of Udaji suddenly felt a little moved, it was the rich city of Tanjor, and the fertile river delta.

It's just that his father built a majestic palace, tossed the whole country for more than ten years, and the domestic people's livelihood withered, so he had no ability to expand externally. Udaji succeeded to the throne for only two years, barely

Leveling the domestic aristocracy, it is somewhat unrealistic to dispatch a large army at this time.

But as a young sultan, Udaji had a desire to expand his territory, and the bait given by the Dutch was impossible to refuse.

"I promised to send troops, but you must first bring muskets and artillery," said Udaji, "and I will pay half of the price first, and then pay the balance when the war is won." ”

"Absolutely." Rheinster smiled.

Both sides are playing ghost ideas!

Udaji wants to wait and see after getting the arms, and then Chen Bing will be on the border between the two countries. If the Chinese really besieged, he would kill him. If the Chinese were not besieged, he would

Find an excuse to withdraw the army, buy weapons at half price at a 7% discount, and leave the remaining balance to be paid.

52]

As for the Dutch, it doesn't matter about this, as long as the Madurai country symbolically sends troops. No matter how you win or lose, as long as you can disgust the Chinese, let the Chinese always be wary of their neighbors

The country cannot develop with peace of mind. As for the tail payment of the weapon, if you lose it, you will lose it, and you will only be beaten as a meat bun.

At the same time, Dutch envoys also appeared in the countries of Mysore, Jinji, and the city of Kanme, which was nominally subordinated to Zhao Kuangbiao-

In a word, make trouble everywhere!

Taiwu City.

Before the rainy season passed, Zhao Kuangbiao received the envoy of Jin Jiguo.

"The Netherlands wrestled you to war, and said that other countries would send troops together?" Zhao Kuangbiao was taken aback.

The envoy of the Kingdom of Jin Ji said: "Yes, a plan for the partition has been drawn up. The northernmost part of your kingdom belongs to our country, and a large area of land in the northeast and north belongs to the prince of Ali Kameido, and the west is divided

It belongs to the State of Mysore, and to the south to the State of Madurai. ”

Zhao Kuangbiao couldn't help but sneer: "It's a good calculation."

"Your Majesty, I would like to make friends with your country, and I hope that I will marry the princess to your Excellency, and from then on the two countries will form an alliance - one side will be attacked, and the other side must."

Send troops to help. ”

"I need to think about it." Zhao Kuangbiao said.

The envoy was taken out of the palace, and Zhao Kuanglin convened the ministers of civil and military affairs to discuss.

Ma Li took the lead and said, "Your Highness, the minister has already inquired and understood. The biggest enemy of the Kingdom of Ginger is the very powerful Kingdom of Golkunda - as soon as we form an alliance with the Kingdom of Kinji, we will be

Meant war with Gorkunda.

The country of Kinji is a long and narrow country with the most abundant rainfall in South India, and there are two large gold mines in operation.

At the same time, its long and narrow territory borders all of Gorkunda. Golkunda is a country that can compete with Mughal hard steel, and a small part of the country has relations with Zhao Kuangbiao

It will be very difficult to solve the quagmire of war in the future.

Wang Chongxi said: "The news brought by the Tamil merchants is that Gorkunda is fighting the Mughals and should not use troops in the south in the short term. We need allies one by one

Otherwise, they will face enemies on all sides, and the minister suggested that His Royal Highness marry Jin Jiguo. ”

Sun Kewang also said: "The minister also suggested marriage, and with allies in the north, we can expand to the west and southwest with confidence."

The ministers discussed it repeatedly, and they all felt that they should marry, otherwise they would inevitably offend Jin Jiguo, and it would be difficult to clean up the enemies on all sides at that time.

Zhao Kuangbiao was as good as a stream, and said: "When the maritime merchants come back, order some cloud brocade, silk, clocks and watches from them as a dowry for marrying the princess of Jinjiguo." Good life

When the messenger waits, he said that I am willing to marry, and I will officially marry the princess next year. Next, let's talk about the war.

Wang Chongxi said: "We must first secure the inside before we go outside, we should send troops in advance, and attack Kanmei City after the rainy season."

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Zhao Kuangbiao's classmates agreed.

Zhao Kuangbiao looked at Weng Yingqi and Sun Kewang: "What do you think?"

Weng Yingzhi was the commander of the infantry, and he was afraid of offending these civil officials, after all, they were all old classmates of King Jin, so he spoke more tactfully: "Gentlemen, what you say is reasonable, but the ministers feel it."

Madurai should be beaten first. Whoever hits whom!

Sun Kewang also said: "It is best to fight Madurai first."

The countries of Tangor and Madurai are interesting, both of which are on the seaside. One is in the south-east of the territory - the other is in the north-east of the territory, and the capitals of the two countries are next to each other

Far.

Zhao Kuangbiao had only studied at the Naval Academy and did not know much about land warfare. At this time, the civil official said that he would attack Kanmei City first, but the two generals said that they would fight Madurai first, and he felt that it was a professional matter

It should be left to the professionals, so I tend to prefer the advice of military generals.

"Why hit Madurai in the first place? Detailed explanation - below. Zhao Kuangbiao said.

"General Weng has experienced a hundred battles, and he must have more vision than his ministers." Sun Kewang doesn't want to be a leading bird, the civil officials are all classmates of the King of Jin, and the infantry commander is from the Datong Army, only

He himself is a pure outsider.

Weng Yingzhi said: "These peripheral forces were forcibly twisted together by the Dutch to form a coalition army. How can they all work together? After the rainy season, most of the parties will send troops, but I am afraid

I'm afraid it's all slow. Even if he invaded the border, he would only plunder the village community, and he would not dare to go straight to Taiwu City. ”

When the civil servants heard this, they all felt that it made sense.

Weng Yingzhi continued: "Since the enemy is scattered, we should fight the most threatening one. Madurai is the closest to Taiwu City, and if we send troops elsewhere, Taiwu City is extremely strong

It is possible to be besieged by the Madurai army. We should quickly defeat the Madurai army, and then immediately transfer our troops back to Taiwu City. At that time, the coalition forces will have different thoughts, and they may be on their own

Disintegrated. Even if it doesn't disintegrate, it won't be able to cooperate with the battle. If you want to clean up the noble princes of Kanmei City, you still can't catch them?

Zhao Kuangbiao looked at his classmates: "What do you think?"

"What General Weng said is extremely true." The civil servants replied in unison.

Everyone came from afar to establish the Jin Kingdom, the foothold was not stable, there were enemies on all sides, and even the officials were not enough, at this time there could be no civil and military disputes, and they were all thinking about how to tide over the crisis smoothly

Machine.

Zhao Kuangbiao asked again: "If you quickly defeat the enemy of Madurai?" Jen 11

Lin Chengzong, the commander of the navy, who had only three old ships available, spoke: "The Madurai navy is very weak, and its capital is on the seaside, so it can transport troops to its capital.

Sun Kewang said: "If Madurai has not sent an army, he will besiege the city and send reinforcements to kill the army of King Qin." If Madurai had already sent troops, the infantry went by boat to surround the capital, and the cavalry followed

Cross the border by land. The enemy country is surrounded, and the front-line army will inevitably return to the division of King Qin, and the cavalry can wait for the opportunity to follow and attack!" Jen 1]

Weng Yingzhi said: "General Sun is thoughtful, you can fight like this."

"Okay, that's it," Zhao Kuangbiao said, "You each go back, prepare grain and grass, and recruit people." The rainy season is over, immediately send troops, sea and land!
