0553, capture Thunderbolt
Since the military division Wan Lian commanded the Middle Route Army to the south, Xiong Kaishan has not played any role.
Xiong Kaishan himself couldn't figure it out, and the generals at all levels in the Middle Route Army couldn't figure it out.
Although everyone did not say it explicitly, they all had a unified understanding in their hearts: It is simply the greatest waste to take a tiger general with them every day, but not to arrange any combat missions that are in charge of their own affairs.
Is it really a waste? Wan Lian naturally has his own ideas.
Huo Lianshan and Xiong Kaishan are both brave and tenacious generals who deserve everyone's absolute trust.
Such generals are the pillars of a country's suppression, and of course they cannot be used lightly.
Huolian Mountain was placed in the west because there was still a vast area in the west, and there were more powerful enemies.
Xia Yun was placed in the east, but he was just a defensive force, and he did not have the responsibility to expand the territory.
Xiong Kaishan was placed in the middle because Wan Lian had long understood how important the Strait of Malacca was and how troublesome it was.
Once the owner of the Strait of Malacca is changed, it is possible that the smoke will continue and the sound of killing will continue for the next few decades and hundreds of years.
If there is no powerful general in charge, no one will want to defend Malacca.
Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a corner.
Wan Lian worked hard to go south, and of course he had enough mental preparations for the future situation.
The place of Malacca will be a powder keg from all sides, and a shocking battle may break out at any time.
In such a ghost place, only Xiong Kaishan is qualified to sit in charge, and the others are either not fierce enough, or ruthless enough, or loyal enough, or unable to dominate the generals.
Wan Lian is most assured that Xiong Kaishan is the place where his father and mother say that whoever they kill will be killed, and it is absolutely impossible to appear the words "should be killed" in the brain.
There will be no hesitation in explaining to his parents, so that he can exert his full strength at a critical moment. Moreover, no one in the Xiong family army disagreed with Xiong Kaishan, so he naturally became the only choice.
Tigers, first have to be locked in cages and starved, and then released to be tigers.
If you always eat tepidly and half-full, then it is not a tiger, but a sheep.
Xiong Kaishan was imprisoned by Wan Lian Junshi for a year, and listened to the news of others' victories every day.
The worst thing is that there are also military advisors who deliberately praised the meritorious soldiers in front of Xiong Kaishan.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that his mother Yan Erniang and father Xiong Chu repeatedly emphasized: every qiฤ action must obey the command of the military division. According to Xiong Kaishan's temperament, he would have rebelled a long time ago.
If you accumulate anger, you will be angry, and if you accumulate anger, you will be powerful. Powerful all over the world, the first battle was successful.
Now Xiong Kaishan is no longer a tiger, but has completely become a mad lion.
Finally, at a moment after the surrender of the King of Siam, Wan Lian took out two of the four main forces of the Xiong family's army, that is, Sima Cheng's trapped camp and Chige's shooting battalion, and handed them over to Xiong Kaishan for command.
There is only one goal: to leave nothing else to chance, just start from the northernmost part of the Johor Peninsula and go as fast as you can until you see the southernmost sea.
Sure enough, Xiong Kaishan lived up to expectations, he personally led the Chige Shooting Battalion to open the way, and Sima Cheng's trapping camp followed suit, as if a hurricane swept the entire northern part of the Johor Peninsula.
Everywhere the army passed, as long as someone Rory was talky, the other party had already gone to the sea to feed the sharks before he finished his three sentences, and he also saved time in disposing of the corpse.
Because Xiong Kaishan didn't have time to listen to other people's verbosity and attack them unprepared, he understood best.
Two-thirds of the people in the surrounding area of Kelantan City have immigrated from Fujian, and after one or two hundred years of painstaking management, more than 30,000 of them have finally established a foothold, and they have built castles to become overlords.
If another person brings the troops over, the first question will arise whether these people should be killed or not.
But Xiong Kaishan did not.
When he secretly met Zhou Laosi, and then learned that the owners of five of the castles had been bribed by the Portuguese and then led the way to Macau, the clean-up of Kelantan began.
Xiong Kaishan said two words: "My father didn't hate people who wanted to kill him in his life, but he hated people who betrayed him the most." These people actually betrayed their ancestors and acted as tigers, so there is no need to keep them. โ
Chige's archery battalion was made up of Mongol archers and some prisoners of war converted from Uszang.
They don't have a deep sense of identity with the Ming Dynasty, and they have a Xiong family army in their hearts.
During the three-day and three-night purge, five castles that had taken refuge in the Portuguese were razed to the ground, and all the leaders were executed.
For the sake of secrecy, and at the same time as a warning to future generations, all of them were executed at the same time, as well as 19 staff members and 57 local co-organizers of the Dutch East India Company Merchant House.
All the common people were handed over to the remaining four city-states for unified management, and Xiong Kaishan appointed a descendant of Fujian people named Xu Yuanyi as the county commander.
Chige's shooting battalion was purged in Kelantan for three days, and Sima Cheng's camp came first, crossing the city of Kelantan and heading straight to the line of Terengganu in the south.
Terengganu was the first stop of the Three Treasures Eunuch Zheng He when he went to the West, and later the local Chinese built a Three Treasures Temple.
Most of the people here are also from Fujian, so Duan Peng didn't have to spend much effort to completely clean up the local Tu people.
In this way, Chige's shooting battalion and Sima Cheng's trapping camp alternately played forwards, advancing at full speed along the eastern coastline of the Johor Peninsula, and had already occupied the Pahang line in half a month.
Pahang, the homeland of the original Bo Ni Kingdom, was revived again by the Manraka Kingdom and was destroyed by the Portuguese 120 years ago.
In August of the sixth year of Yongle (1408), the king of mud, Manajaga, led more than 150 concubines, younger siblings, and children to visit Wรจn in Nanjing, and received great courtesy.
King Manaja suddenly contracted an illness and died in October at the Tongtong Hall.
Before his death, Manajaka said to his wife: "If you die, your body will be buried in China, and you will not be a ghost." โ
The Ming court stopped for three days for this reason, and in accordance with the mud king Manaja respected his last wishes, the king of mud was buried in Shizigang outside the Ande Gate in Nanjing, and with Chinese etiquette, he said "respectful".
After that, the revived king of the Manraka kingdom, Baili Misura, also led more than 540 wives and courtiers to enter the court in the ninth year of Yongle. Until the third year of Zhengde (1508), the king of Manraka paid tribute more than 20 times.
However, at this time, the Ming court was already a civil official and eunuch colluding with each other to control the government, and was indifferent to the Manchurian state's request for the imperial court to curb the invasion of the Francois (Portugal).
Three years later, that is, in the sixth year of Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, the most loyal southern Xinjiang vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, Manraka, was destroyed by the Portuguese, and the Strait of Malacca was carved out of the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
After a lapse of 120 years, the Ming army under the command of Xiong Kaishan, Chige, and Duan Peng finally arrived belatedly.
It's a pity that there are some broken stone tablets left here in Pahang, indicating that this place belonged to the Ming Dynasty back then. As for the people who were originally loyal to the Ming Dynasty, they were all slaughtered by the Portuguese.
There are almost no people loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and all the rest are rebellious people, and a thorough cleaning is inevitable.
From this point on, they had to change the direction of their attack and go west to attack the heart of the Portuguese: Selangor (present-day Keala Lumpur).
Xiong Kaishan's department made drastic moves on the eastern front, while Zhong Guozhu and Ah Cuori moved much more slowly.
Because the previous assault force needed to cross the mountains and mountains, when they arrived at Kelantan City, Xiong Kaishan and they had already gone south.
Chased until the front line of Pahang, the two troops could be regarded as divisions, and Xiong Kaishan ordered Zhou Laosi to quickly send someone to inform Zhong Guozhu to take action.
The officers and men of the Dangkou Battalion have been building a base in Penang, and Zhong Guozhu's sailors have been conducting normal training in normal times.
In the last half month, seventeen warships have been tossing and turning back and forth on the sea, and it is really whistling and whistling, and they are very busy, the main purpose is to attract the attention of the Portuguese and Dutch.
Zhong Guozhu's sailor came out on time every morning to practice, which he was used to.
When something is taken for granted, it feels normal.
What's more normal is that after more than half a month of tossing back and forth, Zhong Guozhu finally figured out the tidal law of the estuary of the Perak River.
Large warships are not allowed to walk on the Perak River, and it is necessary to wait until the full moon tide for the five-masted warships to travel up the river and directly reach the city of Ipoh.
finally survived the last five days, and at the third watch that night, Zhong Guozhu finally parted ways with Ah Cuori.
The sailors went up the river to bombard the city of Ipoh, and the camp secretly passed over from the land, and then raided and seized the city.
In the early hours of the morning, Zhong Guozhu's sailors had already broken through Anshun City, an hour later they broke through Kampar City, and at noon they arrived at the city of Ipoh.
Regarding the dense defenders at the head of the city, Zhong Guozhu sneered: "Give you one last chance to be a man, this is the order of the military advisor." If you don't descend, you won't descend, what are you doing with all your strength shouting so loudly? It's just a four-mile city, and it dares to resist the heavenly soldiers, and I really don't know whether to live or die. โ
When Zhong Guozhu said about Sili City, he means that the side length of Ipoh City is only one mile long, and the four sides add up to only four miles long.
The city of projectiles is naturally not to be worried.
Seventeen ships were fired out with their guns, and the whole city was already covered. Half an hour of bombardment, half of the walls of Ipoh City were gone.
Zhong Guozhu saw that half of the enemy's city wall had collapsed, leaving no time for the enemy to react, and immediately shouted: "The temperature in the south is too high, and the corpses are decomposing too quickly. To avoid a plague outbreak, use fire bombs to clear the scene now. โ
The so-called fire bombs are five-inch artillery that sends oil cans into the city, and ballista carts begin to fire rockets, and the result is, of course, that the city is burned with fire, and no chickens and dogs are left.
Zhong Guozhu kept in mind the teachings of his military advisor Wan Lian: "If the enemy does not surrender within the time specified in the ultimatum, then he will not accept surrender after that." The southern barbarians bullied the weak and feared the hard, and if they surrendered after being destroyed and attacked, it was not a sincere surrender, but just a delay in time. As soon as the army leaves, they will immediately rebel. โ
Because of this, the moment the wall of Ipoh City collapsed, Zhong Guozhu gave a big order to destroy the city, not giving the enemy time to delay and seek a chance to surrender.
The capricious kingdom of Thunderbolt collapsed with a bang, and at the same time declared its complete destruction.
There is no way to do this, because there is no time to clear the battlefield now, and the next goal is to retreat to the sea, and then cooperate with Xiong Kaishan to capture the biggest goal of this battle: Famosa Castle.
According to the predetermined plan, Zhong Guozhu should appear in the sea to the west of Famosha Castle in advance and start a confrontation with the Portuguese battery, so as to attract the full attention of the enemy.
During this period, the camp of Azorize seized the north gate of Famosha Castle from land, and the east gate of Xiong Kaishan.
Zhong Guozhu's time is already very tight now, otherwise after the tide all recedes, the two five-masted warships can only run aground here and wait until the next high tide to move.
Attacking the Portuguese fleet head-on, creating conditions for Xiong Kaishan's sneak attack on Selangor, and at the same time guarding against the Dutch stabbing in the back, this is what Chung Kwok-joo's sailor should do next.
Success or failure in this move is naturally a decisive blow.
