Chapter 632: Planning

The so-called "black barbarians" are the name of the outside world for a large local tribe living in the northern part of Java Island, and there are two other large tribes like this on Java Island, known as "white barbarians" and "fire barbarians", occupying the central and southern parts of Java Island respectively. Vertex updates are the fastest

Xingang is located in the northern part of Jawa Island, when Chen Ting's ancestors came up, the northern part of Java was not the world of the black barbarians, about fifty years ago, the black barbarian tribe annexed some other tribes, and gradually became the overlord of the northern Java.

In recent years, the black barbarians were not satisfied with the territory in the northern part of Java, and gradually advanced to the central area of Java, and fought with the white barbarians who occupied the central area.

Although the most powerful tribe on Java Island is the White Barbarians, it has been on the defensive for a long time because it is sandwiched between the Black Barbarians and the Fire Barbarians.

In fact, before the rise of the Black Barbarians, the White Barbarians had wanted to seize the northern part of Java, but at that time, the Fire Barbarians launched an attack, so that the White Barbarians had to give up the plan to go north, and fought fiercely with the Fire Barbarians in the south, and had no time to take care of the affairs in the north, so that the Black Barbarians successfully annexed the remaining tribes in the north.

On the way back to Xingang, Li Hongyu had an understanding of the situation of the black barbarians from the officials of the Xingang Xuanfu Division, there were four or five hundred thousand black barbarians, most of them were other tribes conquered by the black barbarians, and the real black barbarians were about eighty thousand.

The royal city of the Black Barbarians, the Black Barbarian City, is built of brick and stone, and is known as the strongest castle in Java, located more than 100 miles from Newport.

There are about thirty or forty thousand people in the Black Barbarian City, which is already a very large city in Java, and there are about 4,000 defenders in peacetime, which is the main force under the Black Barbarian King.

In Li Hongyu's view, it is easy to take the Black Barbarian City, although the Black Barbarian City prides itself on being the "first city in the claw valley", but for the Ming army, it is just a small earthen city, not to mention that the army has rich experience in siege, and the artillery of the water division alone can collapse the wall of the Black Barbarian City.

Li Hongyu is worried that the Ming Dynasty has just established the Xingang Propaganda Division in Java, which can be said to have an unstable foothold, and if the black barbarians are destroyed again, it will easily cause panic in Java, and I am afraid that it will become the public enemy of the tribes and the Dutch on Java Island.

Besides, due to the limited manpower of the Xingang Propaganda Division, and the fact that the people of Xingang had not received training in governance, the Ming army did not have enough strength to govern the land of the black barbarians even if they defeated it.

Not only Li Hongyu, Wang Hong and Bai Cheng are also worried about this matter, if you only attack the Black Barbarian City, it will be very simple, but in this case, I am afraid that you will become enemies with the Black Barbarians, which is obviously not good for Xingang.

Therefore, since the war is going to be waged against the black barbarians, it is necessary to annihilate them in one fell swoop, so that Xingang will be safe, and at the same time, it will also expand the territory of Xingang, and Li Hongyu has begun to expand his power in Nanyang.

"We must fight the black barbarians, otherwise we will not be able to explain to the people of Xingang, and it will also damage the prestige of our Ming Dynasty."

After some careful consideration, Li Hongyu made up his mind, and said in a deep voice to Wang Hong and Bai Cheng, who were frowning and thinking about their thoughts, "But we need an alliance to do this together." ”

"My lord, the black barbarians are just some uncivilized barbarians, as long as you give me a thousand men and horses, I can capture the black barbarian city and capture the black barbarian king alive, no alliance is needed." Hearing this, Bai Cheng stood up, patted his chest and said confidently.

"Scholar, you mean to unite the White Barbarians?" Wang Hong's eyes lit up, and he understood what Li Hongyu meant, so he asked.

"That's right, we want to unite with the white barbarians and share the territory of the black barbarians with the white barbarians, as long as the white barbarians are brought over, then we will have a firm foothold in Jawwa!"

Li Hongyu bowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth showed a helpless bitter smile, he also did it as a last resort, using the name of the white barbarian to avoid the limelight, so that the attention of the outside world was focused on the white barbarian after destroying the black barbarian.

At the same time, the alliance with the White Barbarians also relieved the worries of the Xingang Propaganda Division, once the Black Barbarians finished the territory of the Xingang Propaganda Division and bordered the White Barbarians, if the two sides had a good relationship, Xingang would undoubtedly be much safer.

"My lord, our Ming Dynasty is a dignified kingdom, how can we form an alliance with the white barbarians, wouldn't it be a joke if it spreads?" Bai Cheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then shook his head again and again, Da Ming can't afford to lose this person!

Li Hongyu smiled bitterly, picked up the teacup on the side and tasted it slowly, this is also what he has been depressed about, but from the current point of view, there is no safer way than to form an alliance with the white barbarians, which is the most beneficial to the Xingang Propaganda Division.

"General Bai, this is a bad statement, the alliance that the scholar said is to unite the white barbarians to deal with the black barbarians, not to sign an alliance with them, the white barbarians are not even a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, how can they form an alliance with our Ming Dynasty?"

Wang Hong immediately laughed when he heard this, and explained to Bai Cheng that the reason why Li Hongyu was silent was that he disdained this practice, thinking that his dignified Ming assistant ministers would use the power of the white barbarians, and it was really embarrassing to say it.

"My lord, our sailors will often come to Nanyang in the future, and no one dares to move Xingang, so we don't need the help of the white barbarians."

Bai Cheng then understood what was going on, and sat down a little unwillingly, he really didn't want to let Bai Barbarian ginseng get involved in this matter, after all, this was Da Ming's own business.

"General Bai, our main energy is the Hongmaoyi in the West, and the people in the South Seas are mainly appeased, as long as our strength in the South Seas is getting stronger and stronger, then the countries and tribes of the South Seas will naturally surrender." Wang Hong knew Bai Cheng's thoughts, so he explained with a smile.

"My lord, what are we going to do next?" Bai Cheng naturally knew that Li Hongyu regarded the Western Hongmaoyi as his main opponent, so it was not appropriate to make a big move in the South Seas, and then asked in a deep voice.

"Brother Wang, you send a letter to the White Barbarian King, and as the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, you will transfer the White Barbarian King to send troops to assist us in attacking Heimancheng!" Li Hongyu put down the teacup in his hand and said to Wang Hong quietly.

"Okay, I'll write a letter to the White Barbarian King."

Wang Hong nodded with a smile when he heard this, Li Hongyu used the word "tune" to fully demonstrate the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the white barbarians.

"My lord, will the white barbarians do what they are told?" Bai Cheng looked at Li Hongyu with some concern.

Unlike those Tusi of the Ming Dynasty, the white barbarians were not actually ruled by the Ming Dynasty, nor were they in the countries of the Ming Dynasty's tributary system, and the Ming Dynasty never transferred overseas local forces to participate in the war, so Li Hongyu's move can be described as a natural desolation in the Ming Dynasty.

"Surely they will do so, and the scholars will give them half of the land of the black barbarians, which is what they dream of."

Wang Hong smiled when he heard this, and said confidently, "Actually, even if the scholars don't give them the land of the black barbarians, they will make every effort to help us fight the black barbarians, in their eyes, the black barbarians are their enemies, and we don't know their territory at all." ”

"Brother Wang, post a notice immediately after you go back, so that the entire Nanyang knows about the black barbarians colluding with pirates to attack the Xingang Xuanwei Division, so that we can send troops openly."

Li Hongyu pondered for a moment and instructed Wang Hong, "Make the momentum as loud as possible, and let the outside world know that our teacher is famous." ”

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter."

Wang Hong agreed with a smile, his face showed a look of eagerness, if he didn't fight this time, he would feel that it would be a pity, and he might not have such a good chance to make military achievements in the future.

"This is our last battle before we return home, so we must be well prepared and try to avoid casualties." Li Hongyu's expression was a little solemn, and he told Wang Hong and Bai Cheng in a deep voice that he wanted to bring everyone back safely when he saw that he was about to return to Daming.

"Scholar, when will your marriage take place?" Wang Hong knew that Li Hongyu cared about the safety of the soldiers of the Ming army, nodded and asked with a smile, no matter what, this is also a happy event, and it is naturally going to be grandly organized.

"After taking the Black Barbarian City." Li Hongyu sighed for a while when he heard this, originally he wanted to get married after he went back, but now that he wants to fight the black barbarians, then the wedding will be held after the matter of the black barbarians is resolved, which can be regarded as avenging the death of Ada's group of pirates.

"College student, how do you explain this matter to Miss Lian'er and Miss Youlan?" Wang Hong suddenly remembered something at this time, and couldn't help asking, Yang Li'er and Youlan have always been in love with Li Hongyu, but they have to watch Li Hongyu marry Chen Ting.

"My lord, I don't think it's as good as a good thing, you can marry Miss Lian'er and Miss Youlan together." Bai Cheng said to Li Hongyu with a smile when he heard this, in his opinion, Li Hongyu should have married Yang Li'er and Youlan a long time ago, and the two sides can be described as talented men and women, a match made in heaven.

"General Bai, although this matter is good, it is not timely, Miss Lian'er and Miss Youlan don't want to marry with others." Wang Hong shook his head and said to Bai Cheng, although it is only a concubine, which woman likes to have a once-in-a-lifetime wedding with others?

A wry smile flashed at the corner of Li Hongyu's mouth, hoping that Yang Li'er and Youlan could understand his distress, he did this not only for the benefit of Nanyang, but also to save Chen Ting.

Of course, Yang Li'er and Youlan will not make Li Hongyu feel embarrassed, the two of them have been by Li Hongyu's side for so long, and they naturally know that he is not a womanizer who likes the new and hates the old, and it is a mistake to accept Chen Ting as a concubine.

At the same time, the two are also very sympathetic to Chen Ting's experience, any woman who stands on Chen Ting's thing will be hit hard physically and mentally, if it weren't for Li Hongyu, I'm afraid Chen Ting would have no hope of living.

As the only remaining bloodline of the original Xingang Propaganda Department, Chen Ting, who is about to marry Li Hongyu, has rightfully become the new ambassador of the Xingang Propaganda Division.

The first thing Wang Hong did after arriving in Xingang was to announce the appointment as a special envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and said that Chen Ting would return to the Ming Dynasty with the fleet to accept the order of the Emperor of the Apocalypse to show his attention to the Xingang Propaganda Division.

Originally, Chen Ting's father and brother should have gone to meet the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but now she is the only one who can complete this sacred duty in place of her father and brother.

Although Chen Ting's father and brother died, the Chen family's roots in Xingang are still there, and Chen Ting has won the unanimous support of all forces in Xingang, after all, no one can convince the public like Chen Ting. (To be continued.) )
