Chapter 36 Overseas

A series -------of roaring sounds shot from the sea boat to Xiamen Island.

The walls of the Xiamen Central Guard Station withstood artillery fire.

King Jingjiang stood on top of the warship, his face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Keep banging, let the boat land, I don't believe it." I can't take Quanzhou, not even a thousand households?"

King Jingjiang's vigorous rebellion is already halfway through.

Of course, King Jingjiang himself didn't know.

King Jingjiang did not put his mind on Xiamen at all, but on Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, Fuzhou and other places. You must know that the Fujian Plain is fragmented. It's a small coastal basin, and the rest of it is mountains.

King Jingjiang hoped to occupy a basin and gain a foothold on the mainland.

You must know that everything in Jingjiang is good, but it is not good at all, that is, there are not many people. It is not enough to have more money and more food to fight a war. You need a lot of people.

No one fights any war?

It's just that King Jingjiang's premeditation went wrong from the beginning.

The problem is nothing else, he is deflated under the city of Quanzhou.

Although King Jingjiang's attack was sudden, there were two reasons that made King Jingjiang fail.

The first is military discipline.

What kind of army was King Jingjiang's army? An army of pirates.

King Jingjiang made a lot of preparations for rebellion, the most of which was military training, how to train troops, that is, to send troops out to do business, encircle and suppress pirates, attack the natives, and so on. The people who fight at sea are all kinds of people, and they are not good people.

For them, murder and arson are commonplace.

Not to mention, there are no high-ranking figures under the command of King Jingjiang to popularize military discipline for him, in his opinion, as long as he can win the battle, military discipline is a little worse, is it okay? The untouchables are dead, what kind of big deal is it?

Therefore, as soon as King Jingjiang landed, the common people along the coast of Fujian were all offended?

And what kind of people are the people along the coast of Fujian?

Just a reminder, Fuqing Gang.

As a reminder, since the opening of the sea, Fujian has the most people going to sea. This is not one of them.

Remind me that the great pirates of the Ming Dynasty had the most Fujianese. The Qing Dynasty seems to be the same.

Therefore, the seemingly inconspicuous small village is actually the hometown of a certain pirate, who looks like a middle-aged man, who is nicknamed the Dragon King at sea. Don't do too many things like this, after all, they are slashing and killing overseas, but Fujian must keep to itself. There is no royal law overseas, and there is no royal law in Fujian?

But in this case, it was broken by King Jingjiang.

King Jingjiang grabbed a handful along the coast of Fujian and was full of food and drink. But it also caused a strong local revolt, and even the ships returning from the open sea threw their goods directly into the sea and the guys with them.

Although they did not have a unified plan, the battle plan of King Jingjiang was also very bad, and King Jingjiang would not do such a thing as a pioneer for the king if he had a little brain.

The other thing is that King Jingjiang's bloodline is too distant.

He is not Zhu Yuanzhang's son.

You must know that the northern prefectures and counties are wavering about the northern army because of the name of Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Xiongying is the eldest grandson, and this name is still very confusing. It makes people instinctively feel that there is a problem with the succession of Nanjing.

Not to mention, Zhu Xiongying's edict of the prison is completely legal.

In this case, they wavered before they could fight for it later. But what does King Jingjiang look like.

No matter who Zhu Yuanzhang's throne passes to? Before Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants died, it was impossible for King Jingjiang to succeed to the throne, and even if Zhu Yuanzhang was old and confused, it was impossible for him to pass on the throne to King Jingjiang.

And Jingjiang, a place that counts back 20 years, is a blank land, there is nothing, no matter how you look at it, it is the appearance of the world.

In this way, the choice of all officials is very simple. That is to fight to the death.

Never go against the grain.

As a result, King Jingjiang encountered his biggest setback and was defeated under the city of Quanzhou. After the defeat, he refused to retreat, and decided to occupy the coastal islands as a transit point so that he could carry the war to the end.

Xiamen Island was chosen.

However, the defenders of Xiamen Island are only more than 1,000 people, but their will to fight is also very high, after all, the Ming army is still quite effective in this era. Not to mention that the families of this guard are also on the island, even if they have to fight desperately to protect the family.

And the landing battle itself is difficult. In recent years, the production of large open fire weapons has also been quite large. And the fact that naval warfare takes precedence over firearms has long been established. It can even be said that when dealing with Chen Youliang, the Ming army determined this principle, and it was still a water war at that time.

Other places may have such and such ideas about firearms, but there are also coastal guards at sea who do not have any basis for firearms.

They will not be able to capture Xiamen Island until the firearms are exhausted.

At this time, King Jingjiang got good news. That is He Xi broke Tang Shengzong, King Jingjiang was overjoyed, his mind turned a little, and immediately decided, all his troops hung out the banner of the prison country, and subordinated themselves to Beijing. For the general of the expedition to the west.

And tell the people below that they are reinforcements again, in Beijing.

King Jingjiang felt that his idea was extremely wonderful, but he didn't know that it was another bad move.

When King Jingjiang attacked Fujian, for fear that King Jingjiang would affect the southeast, Nanjing had already dispatched troops. Although the Beijing battalion was not mobilized, the soldiers, horses, and naval divisions of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces had already assembled and mobilized.

The king of Jingjiang is only tens of thousands of horses. The joint encirclement and suppression of these three provinces could not be resisted at all.

At this time, the King of Jingjiang defeated Quanzhou, if he returned to Jingjiang honestly, maybe Zhu Yunwen would not care about him. After all, there are priorities. The most important thing for Zhu Yunwen is Zhu Xiongying, which is the north. And not the King of Jingjiang.

After the harm of King Jingjiang is reduced, it can be let go. Anyway, Jingjiang Island hangs alone overseas. The imperial court didn't really care too much.

But Jingjiang Wang Yi hung the banner of the Beijing prison state. Nanjing's priority to the King of Jingjiang suddenly became the highest.

Because King Jingjiang's move, in the eyes of many people, is to disturb the southeast and contain the strength of the army, because the southeast is uncertain, the troops of the three provinces cannot be slack, the strength of the three provinces is tight, and the Nanjing Beijing camp can mobilize fewer men and horses, and even have to mobilize the army in the west. In short, Beijing's use of King Jingjiang's chess piece to contain so many troops in Nanjing at once can be called a clever move. Naturally, this solitary child must be pulled out in order to fight the army north.

The generals in Nanjing were not fools.

Therefore, King Jingjiang boosted his morale and conquered Xiamen. But put yourself in a more dangerous position and don't know it.

------

How is the King of Jingjiang, is his time. And Lu Zhongheng is lingering in the Nanyang Governor's Mansion at the moment.

At this moment, the situation of the Ming Dynasty has reached the Nanyang Governor's Palace. Lu Zhongheng has ordered martial law for all Han Chinese. All adult Han Chinese were required to participate in military training. and to meet with the kings of Nanyang at the Nanyang Governor's Palace.

Lu Zhongheng's mind is not on who wins and who loses in the Central Plains, but in the South Seas.

Lu Zhongheng understands very well that the Ming Dynasty does not have an absolute advantage in Nanyang, and the Ming merchants are not good gentlemen, they have done a lot of things, and there are still a lot of resentments among the local people. But why didn't they dare to resist. That's with Daming behind him.

They don't dare, even the most powerful King of Chu among the kings, may not be able to suppress the attack of the two kings of Java and the East, and even the King of Chu may have problems internally.

This made Lu Zhongheng think of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

When He Xi persuaded Lu Zhongheng, there was no major general Anxi Protectorate as an example, but Lu Zhongheng also knew the final outcome of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and the main force was wiped out in the Central Plains. And the remnants of the Anxi Protectorate waited for the royal division in Anxi, but the ten royal divisions never came.

So when there was civil strife in the Central Plains, Lu Zhongheng's first thought was this, he didn't want to end up with the Anxi Army.

Lu Zhongheng was glad at the moment, before that, he had been moving the people, and he was also glad that it was the princes who were sealed to Nanyang

, instead of a liuguan, what he has to do is to reach an agreement with these princes, that is, no matter what the Central Plains looks like, Nanyang will definitely not send troops. There will be no evacuation of the South Seas, not even a single soldier.
