Chapter 156 If you want to develop, you must be on the right track!
The reason why the British, Spanish, and Portuguese recognized Han Xiufen, a self-proclaimed baron, had nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty. Many of them did not even understand that distant ancient eastern country.
The reason why they could happily sit together, drink, and make some outrageous plans was entirely because Han Xiufen defeated the Dutch fleet and captured Luo Luo, the commander of the Dutch mixed fleet. Baron Ben van Persie.
The plan to eliminate the natives of Malacca was originally discussed by this group of people. Now that Baron Van Persie has become a slave, he has been replaced by Baron Xiufen Han. There is nothing wrong with this. There is nothing difficult to understand.
According to the plan, after defeating the Easterners, Baron Robin Van Persie will associate with King Mohammed, and then encourage King Mohammed to leave the safe jungle and head for the dangerous but rich seaside. Let's go ahead so that they can eliminate all the unstable factors here once and for all.
Whether it is the Dutch, the Spanish or the Portuguese, it is not that they cannot tolerate the existence of a barbaric and backward jungle sultanate. However, when this sultanate accepted the support of the Turkish Emperor Suleiman the Magnificent, , things become completely different.
The Turks were originally a small Turkic tribe. They first settled in Central Asia, moved to Asia Minor, and later became increasingly prosperous.
After the Ottoman Empire destroyed the Byzantine Empire two hundred years ago, it established its capital in Constantinople, renamed it Istanbul, and regarded itself as the successor of the Eastern Roman Empire.
Therefore, the Sultan, the monarch of the Ottoman Empire, inherited the culture and Roman culture of the Eastern Roman Empire, and thus the Eastern and Western civilizations were integrated.
During the reign of Suleiman I the Magnificent, the Ottoman Empire was growing at its peak.
When they were at their most powerful, their territory spanned three states in Asia, Africa and Europe. Under the leadership of Commander Barbarossa, they even turned the Mediterranean Sea into their own inland sea.
They have been at war with European countries all year round.
Therefore, for European countries, Suleiman the Magnificent was the most dangerous enemy in Europe.
Under such a general trend, the current strange alliance will appear.
"We should be the next targets of these people to eradicate, right?"
After sending away these allies, Liu Mingliang's heart was full of sorrow.
Han Xiufen glanced at Liu Mingliang and said: "You overestimate them. The conflicts between these people are deep, even beyond those of us aliens.
Liu Mingliang, you don't have to worry. , the more complicated the situation, the better it is for us.
Compared with these barbarians, we are the real conspirators.
Mohammed is also. He is not as stupid as you think. He must want to use us to provoke a civil war between these forces, and then he can be on the side of the winner. For now, we are the strongest side.
After we are torn apart by wolves, he will attach himself to the new wolf king. The war will not stop until there are no foreign wolves in this land, or until he becomes a powerful one.
Mohammed is too weak, his people are not civilized, and he is of little help to us. This is why I am determined to get rid of him first.
Liu Mingliang, you have to remember that this world is a world of the weak and the strong.
If anyone is weak, then this is his original sin.
The strong devour the flesh and blood of the weak and become stronger. This is an obvious truth. Only those who become strong quickly will have a chance to become the king of the new world.
As long as we are strong enough, these red hairs will always be our friends. "
Liu Mingliang nodded and said: "I just want to remind you that these people are not worthy of trust. "
Han Xiufen said: "They are never worthy of trust! ”
Liu Mingliang smiled and left Han Xiufen’s room. It was time for him to arrange for three armed merchant ships with only 70% combat power to return to Paradise Island with all the seizures.
When Zhang Chuanli moved ten bags of gold sand into Liu Mingliang's room, he happened to meet him when he came back.
Zhang Chuanli kicked the gold sand with his feet and said, "Pay it to your account. This is the upfront cost for sending troops." "
Liu Mingliang nodded, sat on his chair and whispered: "This time you should go back to Paradise Island. We have three more Dutch armed merchant ships arriving at Paradise Island.
This is our back-up, I wouldn’t trust it if it were left to others. "
Zhang Chuanli said: "This is my job in itself. Don't worry, I will bring these seizures back to Paradise Island intact. "
"Remember to control the news that the black pirates suffered heavy casualties. "
"I know that the black pirates at sea are still coming to us in a steady stream. We have no shortage of such people. In addition, I doubt whether those black pirates can count how many they have.
I will slowly announce the news of the death of the black pirates. Today I will inform you that ten died in the battle, tomorrow I will inform you that twenty died in the battle, and the day after tomorrow I will inform you that thirty people escaped... one month Come down, they will gradually get used to it. ”
“The captain who will help you return is Leonie. She must deal with Kahn to redeem the slaves among these people. She must show us with her actions that she has truly integrated We are.
You have to remember that if Leonie treats these Dutch slaves well, you have to abuse them. If Leonie abuses them, you have to treat these slaves well. In short, to what extent things are done, you to master. ”
When it was still dark, two intact warships escorted six warships with only one station left the Malacca River.
With the help of Muhammad, the two More than a thousand natives quietly dragged the two intact battleships into the Malacca River.
The next day, the battleships No. 4 and 5 of Lam Tin fired artillery at the Spanish camp on the other side of the river.At the same time, countless small sampans and rafts also launched an attack from one side of the Malacca River to the other side.
After the battleship No. 4 and No. 5 docked, countless Lantian people armed with cannons came to the river bank from the ship. After hurriedly organizing their formation, they quickly advanced into the jungle.
After seeing this scene, Mohammed waved his hand, led more tough natives to jump on the giant raft that had been prepared, quickly crossed the river, and followed the Lantian people. Behind them, they also got into the jungle...
Six days later, Liu Mingliang and Pei Yulin, who returned to the ship, placed a gold crown studded with gems on Han Xiufen's table, and then No words.
Han Xiufen, who had not gained much from fishing all day, put away her fishing rod, looked at the intact bait on the hook, and sighed slightly.
On March 28, the 14th year of Chongzhen, the Banten Sultanate was eliminated!
“How much benefit did we get?”
“We got 50,000 jins of the 60,000 jins of gold sand, five of the six pockets of gems, and 400,000 jins of pepper. We got it all. We got 20,000 jins of nutmeg and 30,000 jins of cloves. I only asked for 3,000 jins of slaves. We don’t have any pearls, we don’t have any gold ingots, and we don’t have any grain.”
“Where is the land?”
"Malacca River Basin!"
"That's fair...why?"
"No one can compare with us in land combat!"

Han Xiufen nodded and said: "What other suggestions do they have?"
Liu Mingliang said: "Baron Balmons thinks that our good alliance can consider the rich land of Java Island. An island where everyone can make a fortune."
Han Xiufen whistled and said, "The next one should be India, right?
Gems, gold, and nutmeg. , cloves, sugar, tobacco leaves, indigo, cotton... who doesn't want good things?
It is not impossible to march into Java, you tell Baron Balmons, as long as their country can defeat the Netherlands in Europe? We can march into Java if we have people from the province.
The Dutch East India Company is still strong today." Liu Mingliang shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not up to us, the British, and Spain. People, the Portuguese are already preparing to invade Java Island. If we withdraw at this time, it will be regarded as betrayal.
They will unite to kill us first. ”
Han Xiufen smiled and said: "I still know the truth that once you enter a thief's den, you will always be a thief. I don't mind deepening the contact with these people, but we still have to put forward our opinions.
Tell Bamons, we can join, but we must wait until our strength exceeds that of the Dutch.
Naval warfare is our weakness, and we need to strengthen it if they must attack Java at this time. , the only thing we can help with is land combat."
Liu Mingliang nodded and went out.
Han Xiufen looks atAs a soaked and bulging corpse of a native floated slowly away from the side of the boat, he sighed again, picked up his fishing rod and walked into the cabin.
At this time, the scenery at the mouth of the Malacca River was beautiful and picturesque, but Han Xiufen had no intention of admiring it.
Qian Duoduo, who was pregnant for the second time, immediately became the queen of the back house after confirming that Feng Ying was not pregnant. After beating Feng Ying every day, her appetite increased.
These days, Feng Ying can only hide from the arrogant Qian Duoduo. She lifted Qian Duoduo several times, but did not dare to throw her out as usual. Although she gritted her teeth with hatred, in the end Or put it down gently.
Feng Ying doesn’t like Qian Duoduo at all, and similarly, Qian Duoduo doesn’t like Feng Ying at all.
In this situation, this superficial fight has become a way for the two women to find psychological balance.
No woman likes to share a husband with others. If she does, it is because she is suppressed by various factors and has to do so.
Having the experience of giving birth to a baby for the first time, Qian Duoduo quickly got into the mood. She knew when to eat more, when to eat less, when to exercise, and when to be quiet. Well arranged.
"Duoduo is a blessing!"
This is what Yun Niang said in front of the whole family.
So, the entire Yun family offered Qian Duoduo as an ancestor.
The previous generation of the Yun family almost destroyed this family by playing single-passage. Therefore, in this generation, if the women in the back house want to obtain more resources, they will inevitably be judged by the number of children they have. Heroic scene.
Yun Zhao is in a good mood recently.
The weather is gradually getting warmer, and the epidemic outside Tongguan seems to be disappearing. Everyone in the pass has begun to take off their masks and live a normal life.
Only Yun Yang still wears a mask, especially when he sees Yun Zhao, he always wraps himself up tightly like a masked snitch.
"Azhao, I'm ready to leave Tongguan!"
"Why?"
"Tongguan is too narrow, I can't turn over!"
