Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 517
Although Li Dingguo's requirements for the Ming Xiejun are not high, they are very strict.

But for these Matalam soldiers who escaped from death, it was the best result.

Not only did they save their lives for the time being, but their family members also survived without being implicated.

All of these have a premise, that is, they must guarantee that they and their families are loyal to Daming.

As soon as Li Dingguo finished speaking, under the leadership of several leaders, the prisoners of Ma Dalan shouted in unison:

"Yes, we are willing to abide by military regulations and discipline, to guarantee that we and our family will be loyal to Daming, and thank the Emperor of Ming for not killing us..."

Li Dingguo nodded in satisfaction, turned around and smiled at Huang Degong:
"Old Huang, do you want to say a few words?"

"No, no, you made it very clear, you don't need Lao Huang to add superfluous things."

When Huang Degong heard that Li Dingguo asked him to lecture, he immediately waved his hands again and again. What Li Dingguo said was clear.

"Okay, thanks for Lao Huang's trust, let's send a few people from our two armies to be the warlords!"

Li Dingguo patted Lao Huang on the shoulder, thanking him for his trust!

Then Huang Degong was asked to call six soldiers of the Dragon Teng Army, and he called six soldiers of the Dragon Banner Army.

These dozen or so people will be the Ming Xie Army Warlords in the future. They will not only supervise and manage the Ming Xie Army, but also be responsible for the Ming Xie Army's logistics and training.

After everything was arranged, Li Dingguo issued another order:

"The Ming Xie army rested for one night, and will start firearms shooting training tomorrow, and will attack Kerta, the capital of Matalan King, in two days."

"Yes"

After arranging the Ming Xiejun, Li Dingguo and Huang Degong returned to Batavia to deliver orders to Xiang Sheng.

The two led the army into the city, and Zhu Youjian, Qi Jiguang and others have also returned to the Governor's Mansion.

They urged their horses directly to the governor's mansion, and saw Zhu Youjian bowing and saluting:

"See Your Majesty, the ministers and others successfully completed the mission, not only wiped out the Mata blue army, but also successfully captured [-] soldiers."

Zhu Youjian raised his hand falsely:

"Okay, you have done a good job, and you have added new merits to the Ming Dynasty's credit book. How are you going to arrange those prisoners?"

The two hurriedly thanked each other, but they thought that the Ming Xie army lacked weapons, so they asked the emperor for instructions:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the Dragon Teng Army and the Dragon Banner Army have sent warlords to the Ming Xie Army. They will be trained to shoot for the past two days. After two days, let them attack Mata Lan Wangdu. Please equip them with weapons."

Zhu Youjian nodded, he knew that flintlock guns were enough to equip these surrendered soldiers.

When Batavia was captured, more than 3000 flintlock guns were seized, and more than 4000 flintlock guns were later found in the Dutch warehouse.

"There is no problem with the firearms. You can equip the Ming Xie army with the flintlock guns captured by the Dutch. Although they are not as good as the big firearms, they are already much better equipped than the Matalan soldiers."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

The flintlock is not as troublesome as the Vulcan. Although the Mingxie military has little experience with firearms, they can go to the battlefield after a short training.

After all, it is much better to rob and kill the old master than those Ma Dalan soldiers who use cold weapons.

At this time, Wandan City has been pacified by Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong, and the Chinese in the city occupy a dominant position.

With the help of the Ming Alliance Army, Wandan City has been restored to its original state, but the owner has been replaced by Daming.

After Zhu Cijiong arranged everything properly, he left five hundred Pingkou troops to guard the city. The two brothers led the remaining Pingkou troops and returned to Batavia to deliver orders to his father.

After receiving Zheng Chenggong's order, the navy, led by Huang Fei'e, marched directly towards Sumatra.

The navy of the Matalan Kingdom is very weak, they are only strong on land, of course it also depends on what country they are compared with, they are still like ants compared to Ming Dynasty.

After Zhang Huangyan and Shi Lang easily seized various ports in Mataram, they also began to attack the surrounding islands.

Under the bombardment of the iron-clad warships of the Ming Dynasty, most of the surrounding islands quickly raised white flags to surrender.

Later, wherever the warships of the Ming Dynasty went, the small countries on the island immediately surrendered, and they were afraid of being wiped out by the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Huang said that they didn't need a single soldier at all, and they could easily handle them.

These small countries are very interesting, even Wandan can destroy them, not to mention destroying the army of the Great Ming Dynasty in Bandan.

When the Daming Overseas Corps was expanding its territory, the pacification work on Huangming Island (Batavia) was also going on simultaneously.

Zhu Cijiong has been appointed by Zhu Youjian as the governor of Huangming Island, and Zhang Han has been appointed as Zhu Cijiong's assistant to assist Zhu Cijiong in managing the first overseas territory of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Cijiong is not familiar with this place, and with Zhang Han's assistance, it should be much smoother.

Farms, orchards, spices, pepper, minerals, etc. returned to the hands of the Chinese.

In the future, it will not be the Netherlanders who will do business with the West, but the Ming Dynasty.

Foreign merchant ships traveling between the South China Sea and the Taiwan Sea must pay tolls to Daming, otherwise they cannot sail in these places.

The fee is charged according to the size of the merchant ship. Under normal circumstances, the toll paid by each merchant ship is about 50 taels of silver.

Zhu Youjian still has a grand plan in mind, which is to take the Strait of Malacca into his pocket in the future.

This bustling golden waterway, the annual toll alone is astronomical, plus overseas trade, Daming will earn more.

You know, most of the commodities in the world now come from Ming Dynasty.

At this time, other countries cannot even produce cotton cloth, let alone silk.

Daming took the lead in launching the industrial revolution, and gold and silver from all over the world flowed into Daming continuously. Will Daming still be short of money?
The outer city walls and forts of Wandan City and Huangming Island were also being built simultaneously.

Within two days, Daming had completed the construction of the forts on Wandan and Huangming islands.

It turned out that the artillery on the fort had been destroyed by the Daming naval artillery, and now Zhu Youjian had deployed General Shenwei on the Haian fort.

The Great General Shenwei is also a product of the system. Not only is it powerful, but its range is decades ahead of the world.

If there are foreign warships attacking Huangming Island, General Kamui Coast will give them a head-on blow.

At this time, the crops in Banten and Matalam are almost ripe.

Many local tyrants were ransacked by the Ming Association Army, and their mature crops will all enter the Daming Granary in the future.

Of course, as long as the local aborigines are honest and don't make trouble, their rations and life are still guaranteed.

In the future, Daming will also distribute land to them, but they need to pay taxes, and the tax rate must be higher than that of Daming.

Zhu Youjian plans to continue to develop the farm here, and the farm workers are mainly composed of disobedient natives and surrendered soldiers.

Of course, the local honest natives can also work in the farm, and the farm will pay them wages.

If the Ming Dynasty wanted to rule here for a long time, or more precisely to colonize it, it had to benefit the local people and gradually Sinicize them in the future.

In the near future, a large number of Ming immigrants will come here.

This is also to make this overseas territory completely a part of the Ming territory.

Without immigrants, the locals cannot be sinicized, and it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to make the local people like the Ming Dynasty.

With the gradual expansion of the school, children here have to learn Chinese, Chinese history, and speak Chinese from an early age.

Within three generations, local children must only know the history of Ming Dynasty, and only know that they are citizens of Ming Dynasty.
