Chapter 501: The Wolf Nature of the Nation
The arrival of the Far East also made several powerful sultanates in the South Seas, such as the Kingdom of Matalan, the Kingdom of Banten, the Kingdom of Aceh, the Kingdom of Johor, and the Kingdom of Hova, feel a strong threat.
In particular, the kingdom of Mataram has a tradition of struggle, and the history books say that if you strike a big gong in the corner of the street, 200,000 people will come to the assembly from the countryside of the capital and its vicinity with weapons in half a day.
Sudan. Agung managed to connect Mataram with a bygone era, blending the old and the new Islam with the aim of uniting Java. Since the Dutch colonizers invaded Jakarta, the conflict between the Mataran Kingdom and the East India Company has become increasingly acute.
He sought to expel the Dutch. He successively sent troops to occupy Madura, Surabaya, and Cirebon, and established a monopoly policy to prohibit the people from selling rice to the Dutch. In 1628-1629, the kingdom of Mataram sent troops to attack Batavia, and the Dutch colonists burned the rice barns of Mataram and sank the ships carrying grain, which was able to stop the attack of the natives.
The Far East conquered Batavia, although it drove out the Dutch colonists, but for the Sultan. For Agung, the threat from the Far East is even greater. Sudan. Agung had always wanted to unify Java, but looking at the meaning of the Far East, their appetite was greater than that of the Dutch.
After all, the Dutch were far away in Europe, and they just wanted to control the spice trade in the Magolo Islands, and to put it bluntly, they were seeking money. Moreover, the style of the Far East has always been domineering, they control the waters north of Luzon, and the ships of various countries? If you just want to enter that area, you have to pay a lot of taxes every year.
So the Sultan of the Sultanate of Matalam. A few days after the Far East conquered Batavia, Agung mobilized more than 100,000 local natives from all over Java to gather around Batavia, hoping to take advantage of the Far East's unstable foothold and drive the Far East out of Java.
In the 17th-19th centuries, the Dutch Eastern commercial colonial empire was based on the island of Java, centered on the city of Batavia.
Heyday. The Dutch East India Company's vast commercial and trade monopoly stretched as far west as Persia, India, and Ceylon, as far east as the Maluku Spice Islands, and as north as China and Japan. The Chinese who moved to Batavia were pioneers in urban construction and producers of sugar cultivation and zuò. It is also a supplier of Chinese goods, a local rice and shochu operator, a middleman in retail commerce and coastal trade, and has made a significant contribution to the development of Ba Cheng.
Li Ming and Qiao Haipeng were standing on the wall of Batavia, and many of the other parties in the city were still smoking. The main force of this attack on Batavia was a brigade of the field division and a wing of the daredevils. After the troops entered the city, Li Ming gave an order to Fujita that the daredevils must take Batavia before dark.
Fujita was not ambiguous, and rushed into Batavia directly with people. These little devils are ruthless enough. In order to speed up the attack, there was no way to survive, and in the end only a few Chinese were left in the city, and the Dutch, other merchants and local natives were almost wiped out by them.
The city was full of blood, and Li Ming waited for a day to enter the city.
Qiao Haipeng looked at the carloads of corpses on the streets of the city, which were pushed out of the city by the surviving Chinese, shook his head and said, "These little devils." It's a fucking beast, and even the Japanese in the city have been exterminated by them. ”
He finished laughing. Then he sneered: "That's fine, Fujita is a loyal dog if he uses it well." In addition, the Satsuma Domain, when Japan is cleaned up in the future, how can there be a decent knife. We're Chinese, huh...... It's tougher than anyone else, but if we do it. Even those Dongjiang soldiers can't do the ruthless things of the little devils. ”
Zhou Cheng next to him sighed and said: "Thousands of years of Confucian culture have been deeply engraved in our bones, and I can't do it anyway." By the way, isn't it time for us to attack Japan and Korea? ”
Li Ming nodded. Then he said in a deep voice: "I have studied with Lao Gao, North Korea can't use regular troops, just let the indigenous militia in the outer northeast cross the river, and tens of thousands of people will sprinkle it in, let them slowly go to the scourge." As for Japan, let the Satsuma Domain toss first, and then let the death army and overseas brigades go to the death army when it is broken, and we will use all the tricks used by the little devils in Japan again.
Take these two places down first, and then hand them over to Billy Zhou, let this guy toss, he is the best at this. In our generation, we must really grasp East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the north of Lake Baikal in our own hands, and this task is very arduous. ”
Zhou Cheng was anxious when he heard this, he frowned and said, "Commander, don't we want the Americas and the Middle East." ”
Li Ming smiled, then shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Of course we will occupy it in the future, but in a hundred years." ”
Qiao Haipeng said with a smile: "What's the use of occupying a big territory, you have conquered the world, and how big the territory can really be in your hands in the end." When we die, we will all have to be independent. So while we are still here, we will really control these areas around Huaxia. In other places, as long as a Chinese federation is maintained, even if it is nominally a zài. As for how future generations will lose, we can't care so much. ”
Li Ming nodded and said: "We still have to cultivate the wolf nature of our nation, let our nation recognize a truth, don't always fantasize about being kind to your neighbors and making money in harmony." Throughout history, peace has been fought, even in modern society, and the rise of a great power is not achieved by stepping on countless corpses and blood. The foreign policy of the Celestial Empire in all Chinese dynasties was moderate, but when we were weak, who especially remembered. You send a pet dog to the prairie to dance with wolves, and you may end up with not even a bone left. ”
Everyone laughed when they heard Li Ming's words.
At this time, a hurried shout came from everyone's headphones: "Commander, the reconnaissance detachment has discovered the enemy's situation." A large number of indigenous Java islands are converging on Batavia, and their numbers are too large to be counted. ”
Li Ming frowned when he heard this, and then gave an order to the headphones.
"All units are in first-level combat readiness, and the commander-in-chief above the battalion level immediately rushes to the headquarters......"
After he finished speaking, he turned around, looked at the people around him with a solemn face, and then sneered: "It should be the Sultan of Madaran. Agung, he wants to take advantage of our unstable foothold. I was looking for a boss to kill Liwei, and it just so happened that these guys came, hehe...... Then kill a chicken and deter the monkeys of the South Seas. Lin Hua, what are our troops on Java? ”
Lin Hua straightened up, and then said in a deep voice: "Batavia has deployed a brigade of the field division, a wing of the Death Army, and a part of the combat logistics support force. The 1st Strike Fleet is anchored near Batavia and includes two landing ships, four new sailboats, 12 converted sailboats and 22 converted sailboats. The Second Attack Fleet is currently anchored in the waters east of Java and includes a landing ship and dozens of sailing and sailing ships. The Marine Corps consists of one brigade of field divisions and three battalions of the Death Army. ”
Li Ming nodded, and said gloomily: "Kill all the horses and fight the Blue Kingdom, these people are almost enough." Let's go back to the headquarters first and deploy the next combat mission. (To be continued......)
