Wang Xinyu, Zheng Xi and Zheng Jing and others stayed in Oceania for about a month, and finally waited for the arrival of the monsoon in the Timor Sea.

In this month, because of the difference in climate between the northern and southern hemispheres, the three of them felt very uncomfortable, and the sky in the southern hemisphere was also different.

"I'd rather stay in slavery for a long time than be here for a long time." Zheng Xi is very unaccustomed to this place.

"Nuergan is the birthplace of the Tartars, where the Tartars are very fierce! Uncle, you're over there, you're going to face the threat of the Tartars, you have to think about it! Zheng Jing reminded.

Zheng Xi laughed and said, "I'm still afraid of Tartars? The fierce Tartar is the challenge! The two of you will look forward to it in the future, and see how the uncle will destroy the Tartars! ”

"Then you can live in Nu'er, catch more Rakshasa people there, and train a mercenary army to deal with the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai over there. It is said that the Eight Banners outside the gate are still relatively fierce. Also, raise horses in Nuergan, raise more good horses, and get Russian horses from the Rakshasas. Wang Xinyu also felt that this method was good, and letting Zheng Xi stay in the birthplace of Houjin was equivalent to planting a knife in the back of the Qing court, and he could cooperate with the Northern Expedition army to attack the Qing court in the north and south at any time.

"It's better to be over there, it's also close to Dongying, and my uncle has a lot of property over there!" Zheng Xi said with a smile.

The trio boarded the ship and left Oceania. After a month of construction, a wooden castle has been built, a lot of wasteland has been reclaimed outside the city, crops such as wheat, corn, sweet potatoes and vegetables have been planted, and the eggs brought have also hatched chickens, ducks and geese, and pigs, cattle and sheep have also begun to be raised.

If this kind of wooden castle were somewhere else, I am afraid that the opponent would be able to destroy it with a few rounds of rockets. But on the continent of Oceania. There is no decent army here, and even if the natives attack, they will inevitably bleed under the wooden castle without rockets.

After leaving Oceania, there will be no new immigrants in a short time, and Wang Xinyu has to wait for Wang Xinyu to find Albert and ask him to find the people of the British East India Company, find a group of Arab shipbuilders, build a batch of Arab galleys, and get some black slaves. in order to solve the problem of transportation.

The fleet sailed downwind and returned very quickly, crossing the Timor Sea, which had been on the road for a month, in only five days. The fleet returned to Borneo, and Wang Xinyu sent a pair of koalas to Pan Ying.

"What is this? So cute! Seeing a pair of fluffy-looking little things that hugged Wang Xinyu's neck to sleep, and couldn't wake up no matter how noisy they were, Pan Ying liked it very much.

"It's an animal endemic to Oceania, called koala. Exclusively for you. Wang Xinyu said.

Pan Ying hugged the koalas and gently stroked their soft fluff: "It looks like a bear, much smaller than a bear, it's so cute!" "But these two little things don't want to move more, no matter how much they toss. He opened his eyes, glanced at the new master in front of him, closed his eyes and continued to sleep, as if the sky had nothing to do with them.

"They only eat eucalyptus leaves. On the island of Borneo, there are such trees on the island of Luzon. They sleep most of the day. Wang Xinyu briefly introduced the habits and food of koalas.

Left Borneo for three months and came back again. The population of Nanyang Company here has increased by more than 60,000 people, and among the increased population, except for a few Han people who have immigrated from all over the world, most of them are local students who have changed and matured, and they have also integrated into the life circle of the Han people and become the people of the Ming Dynasty. Others were taken captive by the Sulu chieftain after defeating the smaller tribes and sent to the various plantations of the Nanyang Company as slaves.

"The king of Jin also came, and brought more than 5,000 Burmese people. He didn't wait for you, so he went back first. After a while, King Jin will bring another group of Burmese here. Pan Ying told Wang Xinyu.

The arrival of Li Dingguo brought a large number of Burmese people. These Burmese people are not here to play in the mountains and rivers, nor are they here to be coolies, but to kill! With the arrival of the Burmese, the gold mine owners on the island of Borneo turned from a defensive state to an offensive state, and Li Dingguo personally led the Ming army and the Burmese to encircle and suppress the indigenous people near the gold mines.

In fact, these Burmese people who came over have all changed into the armor and robes of the Ming army and have become members of the Ming army. Among the men and horses brought by Li Dingguo, there were more than 5,000 Burmese infantry, 500 Han cavalry and 1,000 Han infantry, as well as six small Franc machine guns and four three-pounder bronze cannons.

After Li Dingguo arrived, he led the Ming army to booby trap and kill the natives around the gold mine who often harassed mining. According to the records of later generations of Western human rights activists, after the murderous and cunning butcher Li Dingguo came to Kalimantan, he disguised the army as miners with sinister intentions. In order to protect their own gold mines, the Indonesian people came to stop the plundering of the Chinese, but they were ruthlessly slaughtered by the butcher Li Dingguo.

At first, Li Dingguo did adopt the method of disguising the army as miners, and publicized how much gold he had mined. Seeing that the gold in his territory had been mined in large quantities, the local tribe Tuwang could not hold back and organized a large-scale army to deal with the Chinese miners.

Who knew that Li Dingguo was waiting for the army of the king of earth to come and send him to death, Li Dingguo set fire to the mountains around the gold mine, burned a large open field, and ambushed the cavalry in the camp and arranged cannons.

All the miners were disguised by the army, and there were a large number of musketeers in ambush in the large camp.

More than 30,000 people mobilized by the Tuwang surrounded Li Dingguo's more than 7,000 men and horses, and launched an attack on Li Dingguo from all directions.

When the army of the Earth King poured over the edge of the burned forest, the "miners" abandoned their lives and fled into the camp, hiding like "shrunken turtles".

Looking at the Han miners who "fled in embarrassment", the camp here is not strong at all, just a circle of wooden fences that are simply fenced, and even the trenches are not dug, and they can be broken through with a casual rush. The Tuwang laughed: "Sons, rush in and kill all these Han people!" Snatch up their stuff! ”

The army of the earth king poured into the large camp, although the large camp shot a sparse number of arrows and projectiles. But it couldn't stop the crazy attack of tens of thousands of Sulus. The "heroic" Sulu warriors fell dozens of people, but the people behind did not stop, and continued to shout, killing Li Dingguo's camp.

It was only when Tuwang's army rushed to a distance of more than ten meters in front of the camp that Li Dingguo gave the order to let the Franco's machine gun and the three-pounder gun fire, and at the same time, more than 100 loaded guns with shotguns also opened fire at the same time.

In the camp of the Ming army, tongues of fire erupted, and dense shotguns were sprayed with small cannons and three-pounder guns. The torrential rain swept into the crowd of Sulus, like a raging storm, and overturned hundreds of people at once! The salvo of more than 100 guns was even more shocking, and the dull sound of gunfire came and went, and each shotgun fired at a time could hit more than 10 people.

In the blink of an eye, the Sulu people suffered thousands of casualties.

At this time, the fighting was just beginning, and the Burmese musketeers fired in three stages. The gunfire continued, and the Sulu people poured in one by one, like harvested rice, in front of the camp.

"Rush in!" Although the Sulu people suffered heavy casualties, this one killed and wounded. For the more than 30,000 Sulus, it was only a little scratch. If he was able to rush in, the Tuwang believed that his Sulu warriors would be able to kill all their enemies.

This must be the main force of the Han people, as long as the main force of the Han people is annihilated, the heroic and invincible Tuwang can lead the Sulu people all the way to Pontianak. Snatch all the Han people's things! Arrest all the Han men as slaves, and rob all the women. The Han people who were tied up could only watch helplessly as their wives and daughters were crushed under them by the Sulu warriors!

This picture was imagined in the mind of the king of Sulu. In real history, it did happen hundreds of years later, and that's what Indonesians did to the Chinese!

Just as the Sulu people rushed to the camp and began to chop the wooden fence with stone knives and axes, spears stretched out from behind the wooden fence and kept knocking the Sulu people to the ground. On the tower in the camp, the archers of the Ming army were condescending, and every arrow shot took a life. Muskets and artillery are also constantly pumping out firepower, constantly shooting Sulu people outside the wooden fence.

Li Dingguo was already riding on a war horse, and when he saw that the Sulu people were beginning to be afraid, and the formation of the Sulu people began to loosen, Li Dingguo pulled out his saber and shouted: "Brothers, follow this king!" Kill! ”

At the exit of the reserved cavalry passage, pikemen and musketeers dispersed, and the wooden fence was torn down, revealing a cavalry passage.

The five hundred iron horsemen who had been lying in ambush in the camp rushed out and rushed towards the densest place where the Sulu soldiers who were beginning to retreat were most concentrated. The cavalry rushed into the crowd of Sulus, and at once they rushed out of a bloody path, and countless Sulu were knocked down by their horses, trampled into flesh by their horses' hooves, and cut in two by their knives.

Li Dingguo, who was proficient in cavalry warfare, led the cavalry to drive the Sulu people on the periphery to the middle, let the Sulu people squeeze themselves out, and use their own people to create greater chaos, causing the Sulu people to trample on each other.

Then, the infantry in iron armor also rushed out, with swordsmen in front and pikemen in the back. Infantry columns rushed into the crowd of Sulus like razors, fighting their way through the crowd.

Li Dingguo led the cavalry to cut off the retreat of the Sulu people, guarded the edge of the forest, and constantly slashed and killed the Sulu people who tried to flee into the forest.

The crowded and chaotic Sulu people could not retreat into the forest, and many were squeezed to the edge of the creek, which was driven down by the Ming army. Immediately afterwards, a large number of Burmese musketeers stepped forward, aimed at the Sulu people in the creek, pulled the trigger, and shot the Sulu people in the stream. The corpses blocked the flow of water, and all the streams were dyed red.

Needless to say, the Sulu were defeated, more than 30,000 people were killed, more than 13,000 were killed, of course, many of them trampled on each other, and more than 7,000 were taken prisoner, and less than 10,000 escaped back to the primeval forest.

After this battle, the most powerful Sulu king on the island of Borneo was severely weakened, and more than a dozen tribes under his command suffered heavy losses, and a large number of young and middle-aged people were killed or captured, leaving only some women and children old and weak. The few remaining young and middle-aged people have to maintain production, and they have to guard against other tribes taking advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack, and they are no longer able to attack the Han people.

After Li Dingguo's victory, he waited on Borneo Island for more than half a month, but he still didn't wait for Wang Xinyu, so he returned to Myanmar with his own soldiers. When Li Dingguo left, he left a sentence: "This king will still come, and he will bring more people until all those who killed our Han people are wiped out!" ”

Although this battle annihilated most of the young and strong people of the Tu King, these local natives could use the familiar mountain and forest terrain to deal with the Ming army, and with Li Dingguo's current manpower, they could not enter the mountains to take the initiative to encircle and suppress.

When Li Dingguo comes back next time, he will bring another 6,000 Burmese soldiers, plus the 5,000 Burmese soldiers left here by Li Dingguo, as well as more than 1,000 prisoners of the Eight Banners transferred by Wang Xinyu from Borneo Island, as well as the original 5,000 Ming troops here and the 2,000 Ming troops brought by Li Dingguo, and the strength of Borneo Island can reach more than 18,000 people at that time!

With enough troops, it will not be a problem to completely eliminate the power of the Tu King. Li Dingguo will take the method of expelling captives and slaves, opening up mountain and forest roads, digging trenches, and gradually dividing and destroying the local tribes and shrinking the territory of the Tuwang, and advance little by little until the power of the Tuwang on Borneo Island is completely eliminated.

"Deal with the affairs of Shengfan here or leave it to King Jin to do, we have to rush back to Qiongzhou as soon as possible to pull people, and then go to Dongfan and Jiangnan to pull a group of people to prepare for immigration." Wang Xinyu said.

Anyway, with Li Dingguo in Nanyang, Wang Xinyu can rest assured and boldly do other things. Fighting a war on land, there is no one in the entire South China Sea who can defeat Li Dingguo. In fact, among the Burmese soldiers who came, there were also a few dishonest people, who were fascinated by Huang Cancan's gold and stole the gold. For those soldiers who broke the law, Li Dingguo mercilessly killed them on the spot. There was a group of bloody heads there, and no one dared to think crookedly.

On the island of Borneo, with Li Dingguo's victory, not only did the gold mines flourish, but even new plantations sprung up on the island, and the areas swept by the Ming army became safe zones, burned down forests and turned into plantations, where the Han Chinese drove slaves and planted a large number of cash crops. There is no need to worry about being threatened by cannibals, they no longer have the strength to harass them.

The captured Shengfan all became slaves, and some of them were not honest, and they were all ordered to be killed by Li Dingguo.

"I didn't expect the kind-hearted King Jin to become so ruthless." Zheng Xi sighed.

Wang Xinyu said: "King Jin's house heart is kind to the Han people, and he will not be merciful to foreign races!" (To be continued.) )
