Chapter 1o64 Brunei wants to set up a Huaxia Academy

（1o64）

[Today's first update is delivered! ] 】

Nanyang, Brunei.

At this time, Brunei was still a relatively large country, and it could be regarded as having a long history on the land of Nanyang. Its territory included most of today's Sulimantan Island. The total population may be more than half a million.

Due to its strategic location, Brunei has always been a transit point for maritime trade. Ships coming from the south or north almost all have to dock in Brunei to replenish water and food. Therefore, don't look at the country is very xiao, its ports, really not xiao, at least thirty large ships can be berthed at the same time.

Every year, the Sultan of Brunei reaps huge profits just by providing food and water to the merchant ships that pass through him. If you add a little bit of your own specialties and a little port service fee, the warehouse of the Sultan of Brunei will continue to have gold and silver coming in. Therefore, if you want to say who is the richest person among the natives of the South Seas, it must be the Sultan of Brunei.

Of course, whether it is in front of the Western powers or in front of the Chinese Empire, the Sultan of Brunei cannot have his own right to speak. He must survive by the might of others. When Portugal first arrived in Brunei, the Sultan of Brunei obeyed the orders of the Portuguese. Later, the Dutch expelled the Portuguese, and the Sultan of Brunei began to obey the Dutch again. Now, the Tiger Ben Army is here, and the Sultan of Brunei is naturally obeying Zhang Zhun's order.

Since the arrival of the Tiger Ben Navy in Brunei, the Sultan of Brunei immediately expressed his sincerity to the Tiger Ben Army. When Jang Zhun's fleet arrived in Brunei, the Sultan personally greeted him at the port as a sign of respect. At the same time, all the officers and men of the Huben Navy who arrived in Brunei received a nice gift.

Since the Sultan of Brunei is so knowledgeable, the Tiger Ben Army and Navy will naturally not make things difficult for the other party. Under the deliberate management of the Sultan of Brunei, the writing of both sides was relatively smooth. The Dutch were all put back in Batavia, and the assets related to the Dutch were also sealed up by the Tiger Ben Navy, and when there was time, they were slowly counted.

For the Huben Navy, Brunei's strategic position is very important. From Brunei, you can completely ignore Batavia and go directly through the Strait of Malacca to India. In other words, after the Tiger Ben Navy took control of Brunei, the road to attack the Indo-Ocean had actually been opened. As long as the Portuguese did not forcibly obstruct it, there would be no stumbling blocks in front of the Tiger Army.

Will the Portuguese stop the Tiger Army from attacking the Mughals? Of course not. The Portuguese did not have the slightest presence in the Mughal Dynasty. At present, only the Dutch have established a stronghold in the Mughals. Zhang Zhun chose to attack the Mughal dynasty at this time, which would generally be considered a continuation of the attack on the Dutch.

In fact, there is a serious deviation in their thinking. Attacking the Dutch was of course Zhang Zhun's established plan, but taking and controlling the entire Mughal dynasty was the most important thing. In the world at that time, only the Chinese Empire had such troops and strength to try to control the entire Mughal Dynasty.

"God forbid! The emperor of the Chinese Empire is really a madman! He's trying to control such a large area! He must be crazy! That's right, he must be crazy! How many troops does he have to invest to control such a large area! ”

Only a very few people guessed Zhang Zhun's true intentions. However, they were all shocked by Zhang Zhun's ambition. This crazy Zhang Zhun actually wants to destroy the entire Mughal Dynasty! It's horrible! You must know that taking benefits from a country and completely controlling a country are two completely different concepts.

It was not difficult for the Western powers to establish several strongholds in the Mughal Dynasty to trade and make profits. In fact, they did. Many of the coastal ports of the Mughal Dynasty were already controlled by Western powers. However, if the Mughal dynasty is to be completely controlled politically, it will be very difficult. Without an army of 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands, it is simply impossible!

Don't look at the disintegration of the Mughal Dynasty, there is no unified army, there is no unified regime, but the number of troops in various places will definitely not be less than 300,000 when all the Tuwang and Tusi in various places are combined. It is basically impossible to conquer this country from the ground up. Once all the Tuwang and Tusi unite and work together with the outside world, maybe they will make the foreign invaders suffer a big loss.

Of course, all these analyses are based on the strength of the Western powers, which is completely different from the Chinese Empire. The number of troops, the number of logistical soldiers, and the number of warships owned by the Chinese Empire were beyond the reach of the Western powers. In particular, the staying power of war is even more astonishing. For this point, Zhang Zhun naturally knows best.

In fact, after the Tiger Ben Navy took control of Brunei, the plan to attack the Mughal dynasty had already begun to be implemented. A detachment of ten warships has passed through the Strait of Malacca and is heading for the Indian Ocean. Their goal was to occupy Ceylon. According to intelligence, the Dutch in Ceylon, who were not very strong, were enough for ten battleships.

Ceylon was the southern gateway of the Mughal Empire. After occupying Ceylon, the Huben Navy will be able to establish a huge logistics base in the local area to provide supplies and equipment for the Huben Army that will later ascend to the 6th. Basically, it can be considered that as long as Ceylon is controlled, the operation of Deng 6 will be considered half the success.

At the same time, in the rear, a large number of Tiger Army Navy 6 Squadrons began to assemble in Brunei's barracks. The troops of the 6th Army, which were preparing to ascend to the 6 Mughals, also began to fight in Brunei's familiar tropics. A large amount of military supplies brought from the rear also began to be hoarded in Brunei. A large number of merchant ships began to map the route from Ceylon to the country. It is estimated that after half a year, all preparations for the attack on the Mughal Dynasty will be basically in place.

"Your Majesty, Abdul Jariru Jaba is here."

As soon as the morning, Shen Lingfei came in and reported to Zhang Zhun and said.

The Tiger Ben army took Brunei and Giadin, and Shen Lingfei's merchant fleet entered these two ports to expand maritime trade. Without the presence of the Dutch, the local merchants, of course, were all in the hands of the Tiger Army. Of course, her identity is special, and she usually doesn't throw her head in public. Both she and Jang Jon lived in the Sultan's palace.

The royal palace of the Sultan of Brunei is definitely the most extravagant palace Zhang Zhun has ever seen. The Forbidden City in Beijing is magnificent and solemn. The royal palace of the Sultan of Brunei is more luxurious and beautiful. In the royal palace of the Sultan of Brunei, even the toilet places are covered with gold leaf. Lighting is almost entirely the use of night pearls.

"Let him in!"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said casually.

Abdul Jaliru Jaba is the 10th Sultan of Brunei and is an old man in his 50s. He had been sitting on the throne of the Sultan for forty years. Relying on his own courage and skill, he firmly controlled Brunei in his own hands.

Zhang Zhun's arrival made the Sultan of Brunei feel a great sense of intimacy. At the same time, I felt very uneasy. Strictly speaking, Brunei is still pro-heaven and pro-heaven. China is the largest country in East Asia, with a long history and a large number of strong people, and the surrounding Xiao countries have been influenced by China for a long time, and they already have an inseparable feeling for China.

In the past, Brunei was a vassal state of the Ming Kingdom, and every two or three years, people would be sent to pay tribute. Especially during the Yongle years, Brunei sent tribute every year. When Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, the fleet stayed in Brunei for a long time. Now, not far from the port of Brunei, there is an inscription by Zheng He back then. Even, a little further away, there is a monument erected by Zheng He to commemorate the situation of going to sea.

Before Zhang Zhun arrived, the old sultan also deliberately put out all the rewards he had received from the Ming Kingdom. Brunei pays tribute every year, and there are many gifts sent out, and there are naturally many gifts that are given back. At that time, in order to show its national strength, the Celestial Empire would generally give back gifts at five or ten times the price. Therefore, among the gifts displayed by the old sultan, there are some treasures of the Ming Dynasty royal family.

In fact, Zhang Zhun also believed that Brunei was willing to serve the Chinese Empire as the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire. This kind of feeling has penetrated deep into the bone marrow. After all, everyone is of the yellow race, and in appearance, there is not much difference. Therefore, Zhang Zhun did not mean to pursue the cooperation between the old sultan and the Portuguese and the Dutch.

In the richly decorated palace, Zhang Zhun met with the old sultan. He summoned the old sultan this time because there were some formal matters to discuss. The old sultan came to Zhang Zhun, saluted respectfully, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Respected Emperor, I don't know what to order?" ”

Zhang Zhun said kindly, "Please take a seat." ”

The Sultan of Brunei still felt a little restrained and hesitated to sit down.

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "I have already received the gifts you gave me, and I like them very much." This lady of mine also likes it very much. She complimented you yesterday. You have such a heart, and I have to thank you. ”

These words made the old sultan feel a little relieved, and a hanging heart finally let go. He was afraid that Zhang Zhun would not accept his expression of kindness, so he specially asked his daughter to go to Shen Lingfei and take the harem route. Now it seems that the harem route has indeed taken effect. As long as Zhang Zhun accepts his kindness, Brunei will be fine.

Zhang Zhun didn't be polite either, and directly explained his requirements. The Tiger Ben Navy was preparing to be stationed in Brunei for a long time to ensure the smooth conduct of the next military operation, so it was necessary to lease a port area. As for the term of the lease, Zhang Zhun did not mention it. Everyone is a smart person, and there are some things that naturally don't need to be explained.

Leasing a port, naturally, did not have any problems for the old sultan. Brunei does not have any ships of its own, and the port is for foreign ships. The issue of Lend-Lease is better, and the area allocated to the Dutch will be transferred directly to the Tiger Navy. Anyway, these ports are used by the Brunei royal family to earn extra money.

In addition, Zhang Zhun specifically mentioned that the Chinese Empire may need to import some resources from Brunei in times of need. These resources include timber, mao skin, grain, gold jī frost, rubber, etc. One of the most important is rubber. With the needs of the industrialization exhibition, the importance of rubber will soon be revealed.

Zhang Zhun tried to plant rubber on a large scale in Nanyang to lay a solid foundation for the future exhibition of the Chinese Empire. He has carefully studied that among the many islands in the South Sea, Sulimantan Island has the best natural conditions. This is the best place to grow rubber. Zhang Zhun is interesting, build dozens of large-scale rubber plantations here, plant at least one million acres of rubber trees, and provide enough rubber resources for the future Chinese Empire.

Of course, these resources are paid. The Tiger Army will not eat and drink in vain. The rubber plantations employ the local people. In order to obtain the sincere support of the old sultan, Zhang Zhun also specifically mentioned that the royal family can get a certain commission from each ton of rubber. The more rubber produced in Brunei, the more achievements the royal family will receive.

Regarding Zhang Zhun's request, the old sultan naturally said that there was no problem. What rubber was, the old Sultan did not know. It doesn't matter, though. As long as Zhang Zhun needs it, Brunei will provide it. Don't say pay, even if Zhang Zhun doesn't pay, he also has to give. However, since Zhang Zhun agreed to pay, he was disrespectful.

Thinking of this, the old sultan couldn't help but sigh, or the Celestial Empire is more moral! In the past, the Portuguese and Dutch did not have such a good conversation. Since Zhang Zhun is affectionate, he can't be too slippery. It seems that it is necessary to grasp this problem of rubber planting in person, and it must be implemented in the shortest possible time.

The rest of the matter is not difficult. Zhang Zhun said lightly that he would send someone to open a Chinese school in Brunei, specializing in teaching children from royal families, merchants, tribal leaders, and large families in the Nanyang region to learn Chinese. He does not charge any fees for all the children who come to school, and he provides them with room and board free of charge.

"Good, good, good."

The old Sultan expressed his gratitude.

Zhang Zhun smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

The old sultan apparently did not realize the magnitude of the cultural aggression. If he had such an understanding, I am afraid he would not have expressed his gratitude to Zhang Zhun. He proposed to open a Chinese school in Nanyang, but he didn't have any good intentions. However, since the other party didn't see it, Zhang Zhun wouldn't say it.

The Tiger Ben Army does control Nanyang at present, but it does not mean that the people of Nanyang will sincerely support the rule of the Tiger Ben Army. Immigration, too, takes a long time. During this time, the best thing to do is to sinicize the locals. Decades or hundreds of years later, when the high-level figures of the entire Nanyang were assimilated by the Han culture, Nanyang, in fact, was part of the Chinese Empire.
