My Daming New Empire

Yuan Zhen watched him reply cautiously, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry too much, I made it clear today that I just want to discuss with you and form an alliance."

Zhuang Jing looked at his expression, and somewhat believed his words.Although these honorable children are a bit domineering, they have lived in a complicated environment since they were young, and they are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Now that he is separated from Ji Gang, there is no other backup except the grandson.

But I was highly valued by His Highness, and I controlled the Japanese people. These people used them to kill the natives in the early days of their career, which was more useful than the Daming people.

They are rich and powerful, but they dare not develop their own power unscrupulously. It is not surprising that they are looking at themselves now.

Zhuang Jing thought about it carefully, this Yuan family is a family of generals, although Yuan Rong is the son-in-law of Guangpinghou, but the relationship with the Yuan family has always been relatively good, and there is no such thing as brother-in-law.

And because of the relationship between the eldest princess and the close relationship with the Xu family, it is also a first-class family in the noble class.

Nanzhou has a huge area, so naturally it will not be bestowed on the family, and he has formed an ally with the Yuan family, so he will naturally have help.

But at this time, Zhuang Jing naturally wouldn't give him everything. "It's a great surprise that I can be valued by my son. I hope to help each other with my son during this trip and make progress hand in hand in Nanzhou."

Yuan Zhen laughed happily, "If that's the case, then I'll sell you a favor. Tonight, everyone will be transferred to another village in the north, three miles away. There are only guards left in this village. Let's put on a show!"

Zhuang Jing was shocked and said, "Why?"

Yuan Zhen leaned over his head and said in a low voice: "This village bears the brunt, and the natives will not know it. We have planted a lot of gunpowder in the village, and when the natives attack, they will be smashed to pieces!"

Zhuang Jing felt cold in his heart.Fortunately, he agreed to it just now. If it weren't for him, more than 1000 people would have slept on the explosives?

He didn't dare to guess, if he didn't agree to the other party just now, whether the other party would blow himself up to the sky together.

But at this time, Zhang Fengshan led his troops, planting gunpowder in all the main roads.

In this era, gunpowder is more than just killing people.Not to mention in this barbaric land, even in Daming, it is common to open mountains and explode rocks, but people are still terrified when they hear the explosion.

Explosives now play more of a role in intimidation.When these natives saw and heard the explosion, they lost their courage.

They are small and cannot play the role of sniping a large number of people, so they need to use explosives to prevent the natives from fleeing.

But in the capital city of Bengkulu, the battle in the afternoon of the first day can only be regarded as the first battle, and the depth of the two sides cannot be seen.

But the battle on the second day made all the envoys know what it means to be defeated like a mountain.

It was a beautiful day, and the sun was not particularly hot because of the overcast clouds.

And without the rain, for the soldiers of Ming Dynasty, there would be no biggest obstacle to the display of combat effectiveness.

With the shield formation in the lead, the musketeers followed closely behind, and the army formation was almost unstoppable and invincible.He rushed forward with all his strength.

The sparse houses in this capital city can't be an obstacle at all. Two five and ten people form an attacking team. Two people hold shields, one holds a knife, one holds a spear, and six shoot.

Even the people hiding in the house could hardly resist such cooperation, everyone fled as the guns pointed at them.

In the entire offensive camp, the most tiring ones are the swordsmen and spearmen.Because the natives who have not died, they need to make up for it with a knife or a stab.

By noon, all the natives had escaped from the capital, and even the leaders had completely lost the will to resist.

And at this time, the cargo transported by the Daming Fleet has not yet been moved off the ship.

Many envoys all lamented that the only thing that can stop the Ming soldiers is their logistics.

The world of Majapahit contacted envoys from many tribes, wanting to meet the general in the name of congratulations.But not only Liu An ignored them, even Zheng He stayed on board, and no one was seen.

Liu An didn't see these people because he was nervously arranging the division of labor for the pursuing soldiers. Eleven thousand soldiers will be divided into ten teams to pursue the enemy.

The staffing and logistical arrangements for each team required a lot of his energy.

As for Zheng He, he feels that he needs to avoid suspicion. Before the war is over, it is best not to meet these local snakes.

He was worried that if he continued to make no distinction between the enemy and himself, his status would become lower and lower in Taisun's heart.

Thank you for seeing people with lights, Qidian Zhong Wenwang, and bamboo sticks for the rewards, thank you for your support

Chapter 28 Comparison

For Ming, the Battle of Bengkulu was just a battle of deterrence.

But for the Bengkulu tribe, this was a catastrophe.

Wan Mao has always been the most respected person in the Bengkulu tribe who has developed the Bengkulu tribe from a few small villages to a large tribe covering thousands of miles.

But in recent days, this former overlord has become the sinner of the entire tribe.

When Lahat stabbed a Ming soldier to death and was arrested, two of his subordinates rushed back to the tribe overnight to report.

Wan Mao didn't take it seriously at first, because past experience told him that the daimyo would not make a big fuss over it.

They once killed 170 soldiers in Majapahit, and finally King Xi spent 6 taels of gold to settle the matter.

In the following ten years, although Daming developed its own power in this land, it has always lived in peace with all ethnic groups and never bullied others.

He had also met that special envoy of Ming Dynasty several times, and he was a very kind person.In Southeast Asian countries, he has been dedicated to maintaining peace among various ethnic groups, and he is a trustworthy friend.

But the news that came the next day made him completely unbelievable. For a soldier, Daming actually executed his son, the heir of the tribe.

What's even more exaggerated is that Daming actually asked him to cross the sea to make amends in person, which is simply whimsical.

In front of the Majapahit envoys, he strongly stated that the Bengkulu tribe would never let it go, and would never regard Daming as the suzerain in the future.

But within a few days, the development of the situation made him lose his position, and Daming actually sent troops.

Before Daming's fleet arrived, the villages in the northeast of the tribe were attacked by the Japanese. Three villages were massacred, more than 1000 people were killed, and very few people escaped.

Before they could figure out a countermeasure, Da Ming's fleet arrived at the seaside.

Although they have set up several lines of defense by the sea, these lines of defense seem to be in vain.

The brave soldiers of their tribe once made Majapahit helpless and could only make peace with them.

But now facing Daming's musket, the faster he charged, the worse his death would be.

There were only 11 people in the entire Bengkulu tribe, and only 3 to 3000 men in their prime. In just one and a half days, [-] to [-] people died.

In the northeast of the tribe, more than 3000 people died there, and more than [-] middle-aged men.

Now it seems that there are enemies in all directions, and the whole tribe is in chaos. Everyone doesn't seem to trust him much as the patriarch.

Because rumors are spreading, Da Ming only wants to punish the culprit this time, that is, the person who handed over their family.

Although Wan Mao has been warning the tribe that these are just the conspiracy of the Ming people, but now he can feel that the tribe no longer believes him and regards him as a sinner of the tribe.

Especially when the Ming people attacked with muskets, the sound of the muskets was regarded as the roar of Allah, and the white smoke was regarded as the wrath of Allah.
