Chapter 156 If you want to develop, you must be on time!
The reason why the British, Spaniards, and Portuguese recognized Han Xiufen, the self-proclaimed baron, had nothing to do with the Ming court, and many of them didn't even know about that distant ancient country in the East.
The reason why they were able to sit together and drink together and make some outrageous plans was entirely because Han Xiufen defeated the Dutch fleet and captured the commander of the Dutch mixed fleet, Baron Robin van Persie.
The plan to eliminate the Malacca natives was originally negotiated by their group of people, and Baron Van Persie is now a slave, so it will be replaced by Baron Xiufen Han, which is nothing wrong with it, and there is nothing incomprehensible.
According to the plan, after defeating the Orientals, Baron Robin van Persie would associate with King Mohammed, and then encourage him to leave the safety of the jungle and head to the dangerous but rich seaside, so that they could remove all the instability here once and for all.
Whether it was the Dutch, the Spaniards, or the Portuguese, they were not intolerant of the existence of a barbaric and backward jungle sultanate, but when the sultanate accepted the support of the Turkish Suleiman Magnificent, things became completely different.
The Turks were originally a small Turkic tribe that first settled in Central Asia, moved to Asia Minor, and later flourished.
After the Ottoman Empire eliminated the Byzantine Empire 200 years ago, the capital was Constantinople, renamed Istanbul, and regarded itself as the heir of the Eastern Roman Empire.
Therefore, the monarch of the Ottoman Empire inherited the culture and culture of the Eastern Roman Empire, so the Eastern and Western civilizations were integrated in it.
During the reign of Suleiman I the Great, the Ottoman Empire was at its peak.
At their strongest, their territory spanned Asia, Africa and Europe, and under the command of Commander Barbarossa, they even turned the Mediterranean Sea into their own inland sea for a time.
They fought against the nations of Europe for many years.
Therefore, for the European powers, Suleiman the Magnificent was the most dangerous enemy of Europe.
Under such a general trend, the current strange alliance will appear.
"We should be the next target of these people, right?"
After sending off these alliance members, Liu Mingming's heart was full of sorrow.
Han Xiufen glanced at Liu Mingliang and said, "You overestimate them, the contradictions between these people are very deep, even surpassing us outliers."
Liu Mingming, you don't have to worry, the more complicated the situation, the more favorable it is for us.
Compared to these barbarians, we are the real conspirators.
Muhammad is not as stupid as you think, he must have wanted to use us to provoke a civil war between these forces, and then he will be on the side of the victors, for for now, we are the strongest.
When we are torn apart by the wolves, he will cling to the new wolf king, and the war will not stop until there are no alien wolves in the land, or until he becomes a powerful one.
Muhammad was too weak and his people were not civilized enough to help us, which is why I decided to get rid of him first.
Liu Mingliang, you have to remember that this world is a world of the jungle.
Whoever is weak is his original sin.
It is an obvious truth that the strong devour the flesh of the weak to become stronger, and only those who become strong quickly have a chance to become the king of the new world.
As long as we are strong enough, these red furs will always be our friends. ”
Liu Mingliang nodded and said, "I'm just reminding you that these people are not trustworthy." ”
Han Xiufen said: "They will never be trusted!" ”
Liu Mingliang left Han Xiufen's room with a smile, it was time for him to arrange for three armed merchant ships with only seventy percent combat strength to return to Paradise Island with all the captures.
When Zhang Chuanli moved the ten pockets of golden gold into Liu Mingming's room, he happened to come back.
Zhang Chuanli kicked Jin Shadao with his foot: "Enter the account, this is the upfront cost of my efforts to send 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 about to arrive on Paradise Island."
This is our back hand, and I don't feel comfortable handing it over to others. ”
Zhang Chuanli said: "This is my work in itself, don't worry, I will bring this batch of seizures back to Paradise Island in its entirety." ”
"Remember to keep the news of the heavy casualties of the Black Pirates under control."
"I know that the Black Pirates of the Sea are still coming to us, and we have no shortage of such people, and besides, I doubt that the Black Pirates can count how many of them there are.
I will slowly announce the death of the Black Pirates, today I will tell you that ten have died, tomorrow I will say that twenty have died, and the day after tomorrow thirty people have escaped...... Over the course of a month, they will slowly get used to it. ”
"The captain who will assist you in your return is Leone, and it is up to her to deal with Karn in the redemption of the slaves, and she must show us by her deeds that she is truly integrated into us.
You have to remember that if Leonie treats these Dutch slaves well, you have to treat them well, and if Leonie abuses them, you have to treat them well, in short, you have to control how well things go. ”
Before dawn, two intact battleships escorted six battleships with only one stop of strength out of the Malacca River.
With the help of Muhammad, more than 2,000 natives quietly dragged two intact warships into the Malacca River.
The next day, the battleships Lantian No. 4 and No. 5 launched artillery bombardment on the Spanish camp on the other side of the river, and at the same time, countless small sampans and wooden platoons also launched an attack on the opposite bank from this side of the Malacca River.
After the No. 4 and No. 5 battleships docked, countless Lantian people with bird guns came to the river bank from the boats, and after hurriedly arranging their formation, they quickly advanced towards the jungle.
Seeing this, Muhammad waved his hand, and led more fierce natives to jump onto the huge raft that had been prepared long ago, and quickly crossed the river, followed behind the Lantian people, and also got into the jungle......
Six days later, Liu Mingliang and Pei Yulin, who had returned to the ship, put a gold crown studded with precious stones on Han Xiufen's table, and there was no more speech.
Han Xiufen, who had not gained anything after a day of fishing, put away the fishing rod, looked at the intact bait on the hook, and sighed slightly.
On March 28, the 14th year of Chongzhen, the Sultanate of Banten, the country was removed!
"How much benefit do we get?"
"We got 50,000 catties of 60,000 catties of golden sand, 5 of the 60,000 catties of gems, we got all the 400,000 catties of pepper, we got 20,000 catties of nutmeg, 30,000 catties of cloves, I only had 3,000 catties of slaves, we didn't have pearls, we didn't have gold ingots, we didn't have grain."
"What about the land?"
"Malacca River Basin!"
"That's fair...... Why? ”
"We have no one to fight on land!"
Han Xiufen nodded and said, "What else do they suggest?" ”
Liu Mingliang said: "Baron Bamons thinks that our good alliance can consider Java Island, a rich island where everyone can make a fortune. ”
Han Xiufen whistled and said, "The next thing should be India, right?"
Gemstones, gold, nutmeg, cloves, sugar, tobacco, indigo, cotton...... Who doesn't want something good?
It's not impossible to march on the island of Java, you tell Baron Barmons that as long as their country can defeat these Dutch governors in Europe, we can march on the island of Java.
The Dutch East India Company is still going strong. ”
Liu Mingliang shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's up to us, the British, the Spaniards, and the Portuguese are already preparing for the invasion of Java Island, and if we withdraw at this time, it will be regarded as a betrayal."
The first thing they will do is band together to kill us. ”
Han Xiufen said with a smile: "I still know the truth of being a thief for life when I enter a thief's cave for a day, and I don't mind deepening my connection with these people, but I still have to put forward our opinions."
Tell Balmons that we can join, but we must wait until we are stronger than the Dutch.
Naval warfare is our weak point, we need to strengthen it, and if they must attack Java at this time, we can only help by land. ”
Liu Ming nodded and went out.
Han Xiufen watched a body of a native who had been soaked and bulging slowly float away from the side of the boat, sighed again, and picked up her fishing rod and walked into the cabin.
At this time, the scenery of the Malacca estuary is beautiful and picturesque, but Han Xiufen has no intention of appreciating 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, and after beating Feng Ying every day, she had a great appetite.
These days, Feng Ying can only hide from the arrogant Qian Duoduo, and she has lifted Qian Duoduo several times, but she didn't dare to throw her out as usual, although she gritted her teeth with hatred, she finally put it down gently.
Feng Ying didn't like Qian Duoduo at all, and similarly, Qian Duoduo didn't like Feng Ying at all.
In this situation, this superficial struggle has become a way for two women to find psychological balance.
No woman likes to share a husband with others, and if there is, it is suppressed by various factors.
With the experience of having a child for the first time, Qian Duoduo quickly entered the state, when to eat more, when to eat less, when to exercise, when to be quiet, she arranged it well.
"Blessed is Toto!"
This is what Yun Niang said in front of the whole family.
Therefore, the entire Yun clan offered Qian Duoduo as an ancestor.
The previous generation of the Yun clan played a single biography and almost destroyed this clan, so in this generation, if the women of the back house want to get more resources, there will inevitably be a scene where the heroes are judged by the number of children.
Yun Zhao has been in a good mood lately.
The weather is gradually getting hotter, and the epidemic outside Tongguan seems to be disappearing, and everyone in the pass has begun to take off the mask and live normally.
Only Yun Yang is still wearing a mask, especially when he sees Yun Zhao, he always wraps himself tightly like a masked snitch.
"Ah Zhao, I'm ready to leave Tongguan!"
"Why?"
"Tongguan is too narrow, I can't turn over!"
