Johor is well arranged.

In order to drive the Ming out of the Malay Peninsula, they sent envoys to Siam to lobby, saying that the Ming Dynasty was coming to Siam.

The Malay Peninsula borders Siam, which is the small overlord in Southeast Asia, and is the leader in both the army and navy.

They bought large quantities of guns and cannons from Western merchants through maritime trade, as well as their own caravans and fleets.

It just so happened that Siam invaded the Ming Dynasty decades ago, but it was beaten violently by the Sichuan army led by Liu Ling, and it also counterattacked into Siam, which was honest for decades.

However, relations between the two countries are very average.

Johor has long been a puppy leg in the Netherlands in order to fight Portugal.

Siam, on the other hand, has always insisted on independence and is very wary of the increasingly aggressive Netherlands, so its relationship with Johor is very ordinary.

But it also does not want to see the destruction of this kingdom, which has served as a buffer for itself.

In particular, the country that wants to destroy Johor is the Great Ming.

Siam borders Yunnan of the Ming Dynasty and has always supported the Tusi rebellion in Yunnan, and if the Ming Dynasty occupies Johor, it will form a north-south attack on Siam, which Siam does not want to see.

The Johor envoy lobbied: Siam just took the opportunity to count the old and new hatreds with the Ming Kingdom, and the Dutch people, who had a bad relationship, were the most trustworthy allies, and the three countries together were enough to resist the Ming Kingdom.

In fact, the messenger was almost speaking for the Netherlands.

Liangguang, Hainan, Yunnan, and Annam were the intended colonies of the Netherlands, which intended to deal in large quantities of tea and ceramics and sell them to Europe to earn sky-high prices.

If it is really allowed to open the Nanyang passage from Yunnan through Siam, then Southeast Asia will become the food of the Netherlands.

Some people in Siam were bewitched and wanted to attack both north and south at the same time, all the way to save Johor and drive the Ming army out of the Malay Peninsula. The other way north entered Yunnan, defeated the Mu family and occupied Yunnan.

It's crazy.

Siam also had some knowledgeable officials, who knew that if the Dutch plan came to fruition, Siam would nominally be a collaborator of the Netherlands, but in fact it would become a base for the Dutch conquest of the Mughal and Southeast Asia, and Siam would be mired in war.

In the end, it was decided to verbally promise Johor to strengthen Johor's confidence in fighting against the Ming Dynasty, but not to provoke the Ming directly.

Siam also sent troops south, but when they reached the south of Siam, they occupied the main favorable terrain and did not set foot in Johor, in case the Johor infantry were defeated and fled to Siam, thus setting themselves on fire.

The Ming reinforcements landed from the east of the Malay Peninsula, and the terrain was flat after the landing, and it would not be attacked by the Johor infantry in ambush, and it could be seen more than ten miles away by standing on the command bucket on the mast with a telescope.

A fleet of 200 merchant ships came across the sea.

Suspicious tactics were also used before landing.

The first dozens of boats split up with the flotilla and were deliberately spotted by disguised fishing boats in Johor, and then chose a landing place to land.

In half a day, 15,000 Johor infantry rushed to the vicinity to lay an ambush.

Most of the soldiers and horses chose to land in the south, and after going ashore, they gave the soldiers plenty of time to rest.

The Ming soldiers enjoyed canned sesame sauce, canned peanut butter, and canned ketchup during a month's voyage.

And plenty of tea, rice, vegetables, that will be tiring? They started training in the sea half a year ago, and they didn't get seasick at all, and a month's sailing was a piece of cake for them.

After going ashore, he set up a position, carried supplies, and then fell asleep. I slept until dinner was served the next morning, and then in high spirits I lined up to sweep away all the enemies who dared to resist.

Half of the reinforcements this time were battalions from Guangdong and Guangxi, and half were guards from the Liangguang Sea. They were transferred to the sea and trained on the sea half a year ago, and they are the elite who have been left behind after rigorous training.

The Ming army fought against the infantry in Johor according to Wang Hongyu's spear array, first the bombs fired by the Furang machine gun broke up the Johor army's large array, and then the bomb attack with the tiger squat cannon scattered bombs covering all directions, and then the scattered bombardment.

Closer to 70 paces, the paper-mounted musket fire, the 50-step three-eyed gun, followed by the grenade bombardment, and finally the bayonet

Kill.

The Ming army battalion soldiers are in the middle, the guards are on both wings, the docking is neat, the pace is the same, where can the Johor army parry, they have lost their bird guns and fled for their lives, and the Ming army is covering and killing behind.

After the first battle, more than 4,000 Johor infantry were killed and wounded, and there were not many who fled, and less than 9,000 infantry returned to the west coast.

After the war, the Johor army retreated and no longer dared to fight the Ming army on a frontal battlefield.

Cai Fuyi was not in a hurry to enter the army, he arranged for the fleet to transport more Ming troops and supplies from Liangguang to arrive, and completely stabilized Malacca, Singapore and other cities.

Portugal also fulfilled its promise and handed over Malacca*** to Daming.

The two sides further cooperated.

The Ming Dynasty has also fulfilled its promise, and the ports and trading stations in Malacca will still be operated by various Portuguese companies, and the Portuguese community will be allowed to live and work in Malacca, Singapore and Macau.

Portugal also sent reinforcements from Goa, preparing to recapture the colonies in the South Seas that had been seized by the Netherlands, and after the Ming Dynasty conquered Johor, it sent naval and army forces to support Portugal in recovering lost territory.

When the letter of appointment from the imperial court arrived, Liu Xiang was named the chief soldier of Qiongzhou and officially served as the Tusi of Singapore, allowing her to pass on the lineage from generation to generation.

After the Ming army rested, Cao Xibin led the battalion soldiers and guard soldiers, and Hou Cai and Zhou Zhi led the Shennong army to the north.

This time there was no chance of a frontal battle, and the Johor army only fortified in dangerous places and cities.

The Ming army used Hongyi cannons and explosives to blow down the walls or forts, and then the Johor defenders surrendered, with few casualties and even fewer poor people.

It lasted 2 months to conquer the Kingdom of Johor.

A large number of Malays surrendered, and ordinary Malays already had a yearning for the Ming Dynasty, but at this time, seeing that the Netherlands and the Japanese reinforcements had been destroyed, they could only choose to surrender.

In the future, it will take a few years to stabilize the control of the Ming Dynasty in the Malay Peninsula.

Because the local area was too far away and needed to be fettered, a large number of local officials could not be sent to arrive, so a similar Tusi system was implemented and the Xuanfu Department was established.

There are 2 Publicity Divisions in Peninsular Malaysia.

One is the Singapore Xuan Fu Division, which is of course larger than Singapore, at least until the area of Kuala Lumpur in later generations.

This part was under the jurisdiction of Liu Xiang, and a large number of Han people migrated to it. Although it can be inherited by the Liu Xiang family, its internal roots include Chinese merchants, Chinese craftsmen, Malay farmers, and the construction of military camps and guards.

Therefore, the *** and influence of the Ming Dynasty are doubtful.

This ensures the absolute influence of the Ming Dynasty.

The second Xuanfu Division was further north, bordering Siam.

There are many Malays in the interior, as well as other ethnic groups. It was necessary for the Ming army to maintain a state of bullet pressure, and the Xuanfu Division appointed locals who were sincere and loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

Later on, control and assimilation are required for a long time.

However, the Malays were already close to the Ming Dynasty, and three percent of them knew Chinese, so they quickly adapted to each other.
