The fleets of the Portuguese and Dutch were forced to retreat, but Zhong Guozhu's fleet did not go so smoothly, and there were of course other reasons for this.

Zhong Guozhu did not know why the enemy retreated without a fight, but when he saw the military advisor Wan Lian at Tawi Harbor (present-day Dawei, Myanmar), the truth was revealed.

It turned out that Yang Hu's cavalry battalion besieged Shakang City, and Acuo Rize's Dangkou battalion besieged Bagu City, and the reason why they did not take it for two months was not because they could not be captured, but because Xiong Chu was not allowed to break through the two cities.

It was not Xiong Chu's original intention not to break through the two cities, but because of the request made by the military advisor Wan Lian.

Prince Xiong commanded the Western Route Army to occupy the entire Burma in one go, which is not a trivial matter.

In particular, the king of Taungoo was killed in battle, and several of his ministers fled to the territory of the Kingdom of Siam.

The original intention of these ministers was to hope that the Siamese king Bodhisattva would immediately send troops to drive out the Ming Dynasty troops in Burma.

The reason why these ministers who survived the catastrophe were so sure was because the Kingdom of Siam was originally a vassal state of Burma.

Unexpectedly, at this time and then, the whole of Myanmar was occupied by others, and these ministers were still pointing fingers at themselves as before, completely unaware that they were now just lost dogs.

King Bodhisattva of Siam learned that the entire territory of Burma had been occupied by the Ming army, so he directly ordered the soldiers to arrest a few guys who did not know the height of the sky, and then said that the Ming army was in the royal city of Chiang Mai.

Originally, for the troops of the Wanlian Military Division to go south, the Siamese king Bodhisattva was still waiting, just to see if his suzerain, that is, the Donghu Kingdom, could turn defeat into victory.

Now that the results were in, the Siamese king Bosli decided that he had no need to wait any longer, so he rushed to the royal city of Chiang Mai with several ministers who escorted Ta Long and surrendered directly to Wan Lian.

For the Kingdom of Siam, the Ming Dynasty was originally its own suzerain, and it has always been so. It was only later that the power of the Taungoo Kingdom grew larger, and the Kingdom of Siam was forced to submit.

The military advisor Wan Lian did not make any moves that were unfavorable to the Siamese royal family, but after being appeased by Wen Yan, he began to understand what the current state of the Siamese Kingdom was.

This question is not tight, and Wan Lian got a heavy message.

After the Kingdom of Malacca was destroyed by the Portuguese, it was not completely settled for more than 100 years.

When the Portuguese invaded Malacca, Mahmoud Shah, the son of the king of Malacca, led the army and civilians to move to Bargo (a small town in present-day Muar) and Johor to continue the fight against the Portuguese invasion, and established the capital on Bindan Island, now known as Johor.

Not only that, but a country later appeared in the north of Malacca, which is now the Kingdom of Perak. In recent decades, the Kingdom of Perak has been moving northward.

The Kingdom of Siam sent troops to attack three times, but because of the covert support of the Portuguese, the result was a failure.

The Dutch were very unhappy about the Portuguese exclusive control of Malacca.

However, the two families had fought two battles in the past few years, and the Dutch found that a storm on Malacca was likely to cause heavy casualties, after all, the Portuguese had been operating in Malacca for 120 years.

At present, the Dutch are contacting Johor from the south and Perak from the north, preparing to attack the Portuguese on three sides to achieve the goal of the First World War.

If it weren't for the sudden and dramatic changes in Burma, it is likely that the Dutch would have already begun to move.

There are three things that interest Wan Lian:

The first point is that Perak is the place where Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, went to the West and inevitably stayed every time, so there are many Ming people here.

The second point is that both the southernmost state of Johor and the current state of Siam have repeatedly asked the Ming court for reinforcements.

However, a group of scholars who brought disaster to the country and the people were so short-sighted that they even came up with the "law" that "no sail can go to sea" and openly renounced their suzerainty over Malacca, which has been more than 100 years in the blink of an eye.

Thirdly, since the Dutch are eyeing Malacca in the hands of the Portuguese, it means that the two are certainly not monolithic. Not only is it not monolithic, but it is likely that there are many cracks in the middle.

As long as there are cracks, you can make an article, which is what scholars are good at.

Even if there is no article, in the hands of scholars, there will be wonderful articles that are flat and lively.

Besides, there is a good article topic now, as long as you use your brain a little, or even without using your brain, you can make an article by moving your mouth directly.

The subject was the Dutchman, Major Verya, with dozens of officers under his command, plus a battleship Admiral.

From the Siamese king Bo Si Li's most white to figure out what he wanted to know, Wan Lian military division gave an order, Chige's shooting battalion, Sima Cheng's trapping camp, and Duan Peng's Pingnan battalion divided into three arrows and headed south.

In the name of it: to conquer the arrogant and unreasonable Perak country, and to uphold justice for the Siamese country.

Although the military advisor Wan Lian is not interested in Baguwen, he has "specialized in art" for some crooked and evil ways.

He knew very well in his heart that Malacca was a ghost gate for the Ming Dynasty to block the Western ghosts. The Strait of Malacca is a huge springboard for Westerners.

The little Portuguese dared to be arrogant on the southeast coast because they occupied Malacca and thus controlled the Strait of Malacca.

Wan Lian felt that now is the time to wait, and he must make an article here, otherwise he will be sorry for his ancestors.

The three-way army quelled the rebellion on behalf of the imperial court, and the Siamese king Bosli hurriedly arranged for the army's food and grass to ensure that the army did not go hungry.

The affairs of the Eastern Front were arranged, and Wan Lian's military division rushed to Ava City non-stop to meet the lord Xiong Prince.

Then Yang Hu got a letter and wanted to secretly send it to the Dutch on the other side.

This matter must be done very secretly, but it must also be known to the Portuguese, which can stump Yang Hu.

Secretly sending a letter to the first enemy, which is already difficult to do. It is also necessary to keep it secret and let another enemy know that he has sent a letter, which is very troublesome.

Yang Hu felt very troublesome and didn't know how to complete the military order.

Just when Yang Hu felt that it was very troublesome, the person who solved the trouble then arrived, and it was according to the order of the Wanlian Military Division, Zhou Laosi, the captain of the reconnaissance army who rushed over from Chiang Mai City, and the three scouts from the scout battalion who came over together.

These are all high-ranking scouts with the rank of captain, that is, those "rooster and dog thieves" at the beginning.

Zhou Laosi said very simply: "Senior brother, tomorrow you lead a force to storm the Portuguese line, and these three brothers and I will stick to your line and enter the area controlled by the Dutch." ”

"In order to give the Portuguese a chance to discover our infiltration, senior brother, your offensive must master the rhythm, and you can't fight endlessly. ”

"The master and the military advisor have already said that this time the action is not just to recover the two small cities, but to have a larger strategic goal. First of all, you have to force back the enemy on both sides without bloodshed, and you don't need to fight to the death. ”

In fact, the content of this letter written by Wan Lian is very simple: "Our goal is to target the Portuguese, and it has nothing to do with you Dutch. Because they illegally occupy Macau, and they also harass us in the South China Sea. ”

"In order to show our sincerity, we have returned a number of ships before, but you still have not shown the sincerity you deserve, and the battleship Admiral Zì and Major Viya, and others are still stranded and have not returned. ”

That's all, neither promising anything, nor saying anything practical, just a letter without a head or an end.

It is precisely because the letter has no beginning or end, and it happens to be written on a piece of paper, that the problem comes out.

Several Oriental mystical figures, that is, those capable of flying, actually entered the positions of the Dutch during the Great War and returned safely.

This is no small matter, and the Portuguese must have to figure out: "Why are we under attack, but you Dutch are safe." And we have conclusive eyewitnesses who have seen four great Ming people come to you. ”

The Dutch felt that they had not done anything unseemly, so they readily took out a letter, a letter written in Chinese characters, a letter that neither the Portuguese nor the Dutch could read.

Finally, when an archbishop arrived, and finally the translation came out, the question came up: "I swear in the name of God: there should be a second page in this letter." Gentlemen, look, the first page is full, and the main question is on the second page. ”

No matter how much the Dutch swore and cursed, the Portuguese did not believe it: "Where is there an official document between the two countries, which has neither raised its head nor paid off?"

"Now that we are colluding with the Ming people to plot against each other, what do you Dutch want to do? We have reason to suspect that this time the British ocean-going fleet was ambushed by the Ming people, and it is likely to be part of your Dutch conspiracy!"

The suspicions of the Portuguese were of course justified, because the Ming did return more than half of the ships and personnel, and only the Portuguese and the ships had no news.

What does this mean?

Obviously, the Dutch must have made some agreements with the Ming people in private, and now they have to implement them.

The problem is that now there are only three forces here: the Portuguese, the Dutch, and the Ming. The Ming and the Dutch wanted to implement certain terms of the agreement at this juncture, and against whom?

Only fools do not know the result.

The already conflicting Portuguese and Dutch have been scarred by a strange letter. What used to be a rift suddenly became a huge chasm.

Of course, as a generation of rogue military advisors, if he wants to travel hundreds of miles back and forth, he will definitely not do just one thing, and of course there will be a series of conspiracies and tricks.

A letter without a head or tail created a huge distrust between the Portuguese and the Dutch, which prevented them from working together and were finally forced to retreat, is only one aspect.

Although there is no head and no tail, this letter reveals a heavy message, leaving a huge space for the imagination of the Dutch: Verya and the others and the battleship Admiral, it seems that there is still hope for a return!

Because of this, Wan Lian flew to Tawei Harbor, and then gave Admiral Zhong Guozhu a face-to-face lecture: "Your fleet can't stop, you must follow slowly." But do not follow the Dutch ships, but the Portuguese ones. ”

"Why?" Zhong Guozhu didn't know why: "What happens after you keep up, whether you can fight or not?"

Wan Lian hurriedly waved his hand, and then pointed on the map: "Absolutely no fire! If you don't fire, the Portuguese will retreat quickly." If you fire, he's going to fight you hard. ”

"As long as the Portuguese warships retreat quickly, you will move slower and slower to distance yourself and land here! ”
