Outside the city hall, the deputy commander of the Marine Corps made Liao Shangzhi rush back, and Hai Rufeng saw that his expression was different, just if something big had happened.

Who knew that as soon as Liao Shangzhi entered the door, he shouted: "Admiral Hai, Wang Guichen's guy is too uninteresting, he himself led his troops to the capital of Bo Ni Country, Admiral Hai, this guy secretly went to pick peaches by himself, we can't just watch it." ”

"Wang Guichen wants to fight the Bo Ni Country? When did he go? ”

"The last general also heard from the merchant ship that had just entered the port, saying that this guy appeared on the west side of Borneo with his men and horses, Admiral Hai, this guy went to Borneo, what else could he do besides attacking the Bo Ni country? There is a lot of talk about the merchant ships in the harbor now, and most of them are preparing to sail for Borneo. ”

The merchants of the Great Qin Army have now developed a habit of following wherever the army hits and seizing business opportunities, and if Wang Guichen really appears in the sea west of Borneo, it will not be strange for merchant ships to flock away.

Ke Chenshu couldn't help but sigh: "General Wang is really a little unauthentic, taking advantage of the rebellion in our Jinghai Province, he ran to pick peaches by himself." ”

"Yes." Liao Shangzhi immediately echoed: "This Bo Ni country is now like an ant, he can handle it as much as he wants, and he is attacking at this time, obviously intentionally leaving us alone." ”

Hai Rufeng said a little helplessly: "Now let's go again, I'm afraid we won't be able to share much leftovers, let's put down the rebellion in Surabaya first." ”

What Hai Rufeng said is also true, the capital of the Boni country is built on the edge of the Boni River, and the warships can go straight to the city, with Wang Guichen's firepower, I am afraid that a salvo of several warships will knock down the capital of the Boni country.

As for the reason for the war, the Bo Ni State itself has long been presented with both hands, and last time the Bo Ni State also participated in the combined fleet led by the Dutch and invaded the southeast coast of Daqin. It was only a matter of time before the country was destroyed.

Liao Shangzhi is a little unwilling, this is a work to destroy the country, and it is completely different from quelling a rebellion.

He said: "Admiral Hai, the rebellion in Surabaya, it is enough to have marines, and so many warships of our ocean-going fleet are idle."

Hai Rufeng said with a smile: "This Nanyang is not only a Bomud country, why bother to go and fight with Wang Guichen." ”

Liao Shangzhi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What does Admiral Hai mean, let's also attack the Malay Peninsula now?" ”

Clearly, the need for a rebellion in Surabaya looks like a big deal. But Liao Shangzhi and these people didn't pay attention to these earth monkeys at all, and they still wanted to continue to expand.

Speaking of which, the navy is really like a group of wolves that no one controls, out of Great Qin, what they want to do is basically not subject to the supervision of those imperial historians in the court, and the emperor gave them a very relaxed environment and great autonomy.

The pace of naval expansion now seems to be a bit slow, mainly because of the policy towards the South Seas, and the Great Qin differed from the Western colonists, who oppressed the local natives by force for their enslavement.

Daqin wanted to purge the local natives. At the very least, the indigenous population should be drastically reduced, so that the Han Chinese can become the absolute majority of these places in the future.

This was not possible for the Western colonizers, who were too small and whose population base was not as good as that of Daqin. There are no such conditions.

Only Great Qin has such conditions, but it takes more time and energy to do so, so the pace of expansion is a little slow for the time being.

Hai Rufeng said with a smile: "On the Malay Peninsula, let's wait for Temasek's port to be repaired." ”

"We'll have to wait. Forget it, the last general will take people to Surabaya first, and then arrest the Bashana monkey and castrate. ”

"General Liao. I have just consulted with General Ke and decided to stay in Surabaya for a while, and wait for him to attract the natives on the island of Java before proceeding, and your Marines' current task is to try to attack the natives on the periphery and force them to Surabaya. ”

"Whoa!"

After Hai Rufeng officially gave the order, Liao Shangzhi did not dare to have any objections, and immediately agreed.

At present, the Governor of the Ocean Fleet is presiding over the construction of a seaport in Temasek (Singapore), both to better control the Strait of Malacca, to serve as an important base for the future Navy to go out of the Indian Ocean, and to serve as an outpost for attacking the Malay Peninsula.

"Malacca" is the transliteration of Manchurian, and on the Malay Peninsula, there have been Malay kingdoms and Manraka kingdoms.

One hundred years after the founding of the Manchurian state, it was invaded by Portugal in 1511 and became a Portuguese colony.

Now there were still a small number of Portuguese troops on it, and Great Qin didn't bother to clean up the remnants of these slags for a while, and even allowed merchants to trade with them.

It is said that Daqin's policy is very special, no matter who the military fights with or what kind of fight it takes, it never prevents merchants from trading with each other.

Except, of course, strategic supplies.

Other goods such as silk, cotton, porcelain, spices, etc., even if the army has just finished fighting, the merchant ships will immediately sail over to trade with the enemy, provided that you can afford to take the risks.

From Temasek (Singapore), it takes a day or two to sail along the Strait of Malacca to reach the city of Manchuka, which the Great Qin Navy has not captured for a long time, in fact, in order to preserve this east-west trade route.

Although Daqin's merchant ships had now gone far out of the Indian Ocean and established a trade channel with the British East India Company in Ceylon (Sri Lanka), it was not in the interests of Great Qin to let Britain monopolize the trade between the East and the West, so the Portuguese in Manchu stayed for the time being.

After Liao Shangzhi left, Ke Chenshu then said: "Then the general will also go to organize the servant army." ”

"Okay." Hai Rufeng responded, and then he ordered to strengthen the vigilance of Baiqi City and the port, Basha can toss as much as he wants in Surabaya, and the warships in Baiqi City, especially the port, must not be missing.

***

The capital of the Bo Ni country is located in the northwest of Borneo on the side of the Bo Ni River, a hundred years ago, the fifth Sultan Bolkia was in power, the Bo Ni country was once very prosperous, in addition to most of Borneo, some islands in the south of Luzon also belong to the Bo Ni. This period was the "golden age" in the history of the Bo Ni Kingdom. At one time, the population of Bo Nicheng exceeded 50,000.

But now, due to the infighting among the princes, the Boni Kingdom has declined.

In Wang Guichen's eyes, it is actually not difficult to take Boni City.

Because of his meritorious service in winning the Sulu State, he had been promoted to vice admiral of the South China Sea Fleet, and led 10 gunboats and 40 small and medium-sized warships of the South China Sea Fleet to sail mightily to the mouth of the Boni River.

The little sampans of the Bo Ni country knew each other very well, and all of them retreated into the Bo Ni River, trying to use the relatively narrow river channel to make a final desperate resistance.

Deputy General Li Sangui looked through the binoculars, looked at the small sampans densely covered with rivers, and said with a smile: "Head, it seems that there is still a lot of meat." ”

Wang Guichen raised his eyebrows and replied: "Don't be careless, when we enter the river, our giant ship is inconvenient to rotate, so we have to be careful of the other party's fire attack." ”

Mo Liang, who had been promoted to captain, replied: "Boss, what is there to worry about, let's prepare more earth-shaking thunder, if the enemy lowers the fireship downstream, as soon as it approaches, it will be blasted into wood chips, there is no big threat." ”

Wang Guichen warned: "In short, everyone should not be careless, be careful of capsizing in the gutter, and when you take Boni City, you can have any fun at that time." ”

"Yes, Admiral."

At the same time as the flag for war was played, the rumbling war drums sounded at the same time, and fifty warships, large and small, began to sail into the Boni River.

In the high coconut groves on both sides, there are many houses made of bamboo and wood, because there are many small rivers around, and the water is connected, and many are even built on the riverside water, this kind of house is very special, it floats on the water when it is completed, if you want to move, you can directly use the boat to tow the whole house away.

When the Qin army arrived suddenly, many people were so frightened that they desperately dragged their houses into a remote river, and women could be seen in the house from time to time leaning out to look around, looking frightened;

This scene of running for their lives with a boat dragging a house is very interesting, and the soldiers of the Qin army couldn't help but laugh when they saw it.

Wang Guichen was too lazy to waste shells on these dilapidated houses, let them pull them away, and two miles after entering the river, he saw a water village upstream, and more than 100 enemy warships gathered on the river, and the war was about to break out!
