Chapter 101: The Rebellion of the Old Port

At the time of the night of blood and fire in Manthorn. In the old port, Liang Daoming and Chen Zuyi also completely collapsed.

The Ming Dynasty's southern expeditionary fleet was still being formed. But the repercussions have spread throughout the South Seas.

One of the most influential is the Old Port. The old port is one of the places where the Chinese gather in Nanyang. It could also be the biggest. Without him, this is the old capital of Srivijaya Qi, which has a certain foundation. This, coupled with the Javanese conquest of Sriwijaya, severely suppressed the local people of Sriwijaya. The Javanese officials sent to the Old Port, or rather the nobles, could only rely on outsiders.

It's been a long time. The host and the guest change the situation. It became what it is today.

The number of Chinese in the Old Port is not as large as that of the natives. There were also quite a few at that time. Not to mention that the Chinese mastered the trade routes. Economic power, but also force. The old port was dominated by the Chinese.

News of the Ming Dynasty's southward journey.

Liang Daoming and Chen Zuyi have two different attitudes.

Even one hundred and eighty degrees on both sides, diametrically opposed.

Originally. As a collaborator of Daming in Nanyang. Chen Zuyi should support the Ming Dynasty to go south, but in fact, it is the opposite. Chen Zuyi has the heart to build a country in Nanyang. The main thing is that he sees the weakness of the countries of the South Seas. For example, the city of Malacca. It is a port, the number of people is not large, Chen Zuyi has tens of thousands of people, if more than 10,000 people are formed, it may not be impossible to take Malacca City, and then find a way to pacify the whole territory of Malacca. Become the head of a nation.

Even in the old port, Chen Zuyi only needs to get rid of Liang Daoming and appease the natives. It would have been possible to form a state with Han Chinese and local nobility at the top.

In fact, such examples are not uncommon. There are many founding kings of the Han people in Nanyang, but ruling this art requires compromise. The best thing to do is to unite with the locals, and the Han Chinese are outsiders after all. They need to rule. It's more about blending in with the locals.

For example, the later King of Brunei has Han Chinese blood.

Therefore, Chen Zuyi was very resistant to the southward movement of the Ming Dynasty. It's going to affect his plans.

This is actually true, a powerful Central Plains dynasty may be able to accommodate a foreign country, but it is categorically difficult to accommodate a Han country. Because the great unification dynasty is difficult to accommodate heresy. The Ming Dynasty went south, and Chen Zuyi was a vassal king in the Ming system. Otherwise, it would be a dream to become a country of its own.

But Liang Daoming is different.

Liang Daoming is already old. It's not been a few years. He just wants to pass on the power in his hands steadily. But Liang Daoming's children are indeed limited in ability. Historically, Liang Daoming's forces were eventually annexed by Chen Zuyi.

Now Liang Daoming also sees this trend.

Because of this, Liang Daoming has always been worried about this. And when he heard about Daming's southward journey, he suddenly became enlightened. If Da Ming runs Nanyang, can he exchange the strength in his hands for the glory and wealth of future generations?

The answer, of course, is yes.

Although Liang Daoming is deep in his heart, he may not be unwilling. This is the work of his life. However, when you think about it, it is still the future generations that matter.

It's just that his situation is absolutely unacceptable to Chen Zuyi.

Chen Zuyi wanted to talk to Liang Daoming several times, but Liang Daoming refused. So, Chen Zuyi couldn't hold back and did it directly. Liang Daoming is also a veteran, how can he not be wary of Chen Zuyi at this time. So as soon as Chen Zuyi made a move, it evolved from a sneak attack to a big war.

A big battle lasted three days. Almost burned the old port city to the ground.

Chen Zuyi paid a great price. But he was still the winner.

When he stepped on the ashes that had not been burned, he walked into the Liang Mansion. Liang Daoming was in a mess, and took the last dozens of family soldiers to guard the Liang family ancestral hall.

Hundreds of bows and crossbows were aimed at this place.

Chen Zuyi and Liang Daoming are far apart. Chen Zuyi saluted and said, "Liang Weng is old. ”

Liang Daoming coughed twice, and saw blood in his mouth. He wiped it off with his handkerchief without hesitation. said: "I don't need you to remind me, I already knew." However, it is precisely because I am old that I ask my children and grandchildren for a long-term plan. There is today's battle, you are young, and some of my thoughts you will not understand. But I'm just curious about one thing. When you reach my age, how do you pass on your power? ”

Chen Zuyi didn't think about this problem.

However, Liang Daoming's problem is also very problematic in Nanyang, because of the immaturity of the system, most of the countries in Nanyang, in China's view, are obviously the grass platform team, once the people above are incapable, it is a matter of minutes to be overthrown, and even in order to prevent recurrence, it is a basic operation.

It's like what Chen Zuyi did to Liang Daoming today.

Before Chen Zuyi, he was dedicated to building the country and establishing a foundation, and he didn't think about many things. Now that he has finally become the lord of the old port, there is a vague feeling in his heart that perhaps becoming the lord of the old port is not the end of everything, but the beginning of everything.

just didn't wait for Chen Zuyi to answer. Liang Daoming suddenly smiled and said, "Forget it, you are extremely reckless, but you are brave, how can you live to my age?" You don't have to think about it. ”

Liang Dao made it clear that it was impossible for Chen Zuyi to hold the power in his hands until he was old. Before that, he was already in a different place.

Chen Zuyi said: "I originally thought that Liang Weng had good words to tell him, if it was just some cheap words, then there was no need to talk about it." ”

Liang Daoming said: "Yes, it's not interesting to talk cheaply. I'm just telling you one thing, my eldest grandson, Liang Sizu, is no longer in the Old Port. Where is he now? Guess what? Liang Daoming laughed, laughed wildly, spurted blood out of his mouth, and said;" He'll get my revenge. He'll get my revenge. ”

In an instant, the four sides were on fire.

Apparently it was arranged by Liang Daoming. The fire is raging. The last soldier of the Liang family charged Chen Zuyi, wanting to entangle Chen Zuyi here and bury him in the fire.

Chen Zuyi took a lot of effort to get out, even so, more than a dozen soldiers died in the fire, and he himself was disgraced, Chen Zuyi tried to control his expression, and said to Chen Zuxiao beside him: "Where is Liang Sizu?" ”

Chen Zuxiao said: "In the past three days, so many people have died? Who knows? However, if he had been in the Old Port, he would have been dead at this moment. ”

Chen Zuyi's face turned pale.

Liang Sizu's ability is mediocre, Chen Zuyi is not worried at all, when he is worried, what Liang Sizu has in his head is the old port, the topography, water system and other aspects. The biggest problem in the Ming Dynasty's conquest of the South Seas has never been the combat effectiveness of the army. It's about mastering the terrain and climate.

Just like Vietnam, Vietnam resisted the Central Plains army, not by their combat effectiveness. It's the white vine river natural insurance. Several times to save the Vietnamese dynasty between life and death.

Once the terrain of the Old Port is familiar to the Ming Dynasty, there is no place here that can threaten the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Zuyi knew that Liang Daoming said this, so Liang Sizu must be in a safe place, and he had even arrived in Daming. But he still couldn't help but say, "Go and find it." ”

Guangzhou.

At this moment, dozens of large ships have gathered on Hong Kong Island.

Hong Kong is a natural harbour. After He Xi discussed with Lu Zhongheng, he decided to designate this place as the gathering place of the Southern Expeditionary Fleet, and the elite sailors of the three provinces had already drawn the most elite guard from the Guangxi Guards. Mamaes.

The reason why I chose this guard. It's because this guard came out of the Jingying sequence.

In the battle of Yunnan, an elephant formation appeared. This made Zhu Yuanzhang very curious. Of course, although I know it, the elephant army has such and such flaws. However, in this era, the elephant army, as a special branch of the army, has the need to be researched and established.

It seems that even though the cavalry of later generations is no longer good, the cavalry still exists in the Chinese army for a long time. Not to mention elephant soldiers, there are also some practical values.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang made a decision to select the Beijing battalion to dispatch capable soldiers and strong generals, and set up an elephant guard in Guangxi. I'm in charge of this one thing. Therefore, the mahout guard is larger than the ordinary guard. It's supernumerary. There are more than 20,000 people. And many of the generals were born in Beijing. A soldier bears a nest of bears.

The Beijing camp in this era is the absolute main force used by Zhu Yuanzhang to suppress the world. So the combat effectiveness of the mahout guard. is also above other health centers in Guangxi, and it is natural that he is favored by He Xi and Lu Zhongheng at the same time.
