Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 193 Capture the Sultan and the Beautiful Princess Alive

Since the capture of Pahang, Liu Guoxuan, Pan Aqiang, and Wang Yangbing split into three groups.

Wang Yang is in charge of taking the second town and Mataram's servant army to the northern part of Pahang to carry out the fisherman search and rescue operation!

Pan Aqiang took the first town and Aceh's servant army, went straight to Huanglong, and went to old Johor to torture the Sultan.

Liu Guoxuan is also not idle, the Kingdom of Johor has many islands, let the Royal Navy contribute to occupying the islands, otherwise it will be in vain.

The operation of the new Ming Empire has quite the legacy of Yang Gao in the late Ming Dynasty.

This Nurhachi is here, call me an expert!

Regarding the Battle of Salhu, Yang Gao cannot be completely blamed for splitting up the army and defeating the national fortune.

It can only be said that his predecessors raised Nurhachi too fat.

Moreover, Daming had no money, and the current financial resources of such a huge dynasty could only summon an army of [-].

In addition to the soldiers' monthly military pay and rice grains, which can barely be guaranteed, there is no financial resources to update ordnance, cotton clothes, firearms, etc.

How embarrassing is the military equipment? On the day when the troops were dispatched, they had to kill cattle to sacrifice to the flag. As a result, the cattle slaughtering knife kept cutting three times.

Liu Zhaosun, Liu Ting's adopted son, got on his horse to test the spear. He wanted to rein in the horse and raise the spear to pose handsomely, but because the handle of the spear was rotten, the spear fell to the ground when it swung its head in the wind.

With all these signs and Yang Gao's division of troops, it is normal to lose.

However, the guards are not the Ming army in the Battle of Sarhu, and the Johor army is not Nurhachi's Houjin army.

Three times, five times and two times, with the help of Wali, it took less than a day, and the city wall of the old Johor City was announced to be broken!

That night, the old city of Johor was in chaos.

Businessmen and common people fled out one after another. No matter what Johor officials tried to stop them, they couldn't stop them. The crowds flowed out like a tide.

In the midst of the chaos, Sultan Mahmud also heard the news of the city's destruction. He turned white all night and sighed: "This Sultan is not a fatuous and incompetent person. He is about to perish!"

Compared with the previous sultans, the Aceh people and the Portuguese were always under pressure. His strategy of uniting the Netherlands and rejecting the Portuguese was successful. Johor’s national strength became stronger and stronger. He fought against the enemy several times without losing the wind. When Holland was beaten up by Daming, they regained Mancijia, but Daming is too strong!

Just as he was about to commit suicide, Wali ran over in the dark.

"Your Highness Sultan, come down quickly! Daming has been a state of etiquette since ancient times. There must be a misunderstanding. As long as we in Johor explain clearly, Daming will definitely let us go!"

Wali is not here to show kindness, he has to capture Sultan Mahmud alive, so the credit will be greater!

Moreover, how much wealth Sultan Mahmud has hidden, we have to find a way to make him open his mouth and tell the truth, but he can't let him die so soon!

Hearing this, Mahmud became angry!

"What kind of state of etiquette? The Ming people are more greedy than the Dutch. The Dutch only want money, but the Ming people want money and their lives. They want to kill the Johoreans."

But this catharsis made him not want to commit suicide so much.

Because of the desire for revenge.

Seeing that Mahmoud didn't want to die anymore, Wali hurriedly continued to fool him.

I saw Wali directly acting, and I don't know how to make tears and snot, "crying bitterly" and said: "Your Highness, there is an old saying in the Ming Dynasty - if you keep the green hills, you will not be afraid of no firewood! Let's pack up the soft, Withdraw from Temasek Island, south of the old Johor City, and wait for Spanish reinforcements!"

Mahmud is a little unconfident, because Temasek Island is too close to the old city of Johor, and the Ming Navy is invincible, so escaping there is not a dead end!
He asked in confusion: "Wali, is it useful for us to escape there?"

Wali continued to flicker: "Your Highness, we in Johor have soldiers and food in Temasek Island. As long as we build a fort on it, we can guard the mouth of Malacca! We can wait for the Spanish expeditionary fleet to help us there, and then take the opportunity to counterattack."

Sultan Mahmud hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement with the proposal.

Johoreans do not have a tradition of fighting to the death and never retreating. If their ancestors never retreated, there would be no Johor Kingdom.

At that time, the grandparents of Sultan Mahmoud retreated step by step under the threat of the Portuguese army, and later had the opportunity to embrace the thigh of the Netherlands. He believed that he could also reproduce the glory of his ancestors!
Mahmoud immediately cheered up and said, "Okay! I will leave it to you to be responsible for the retreat."

Wali Dayi said awe-inspiringly: "Okay! This subordinate will definitely live up to the Sudan's trust!"

Sultan Mahmud was very moved. He was really a loyal minister in a national disaster. If the Johor Kingdom had not encountered this disaster, he would not have known that the most reliable person was Wali!

All the other ministers ran away, only Wali came to take care of him.

In fact, it was because the ministers and generals who came to the palace and wanted to run away with Mahmoud had already been killed by Wali.

It's a pity that Mahmoud has lost his mind at this time, otherwise he would have noticed a detail.

That is, when did Wali become so literate? How can a Johorean know so much about the ancient sayings of Ming Dynasty?
It was clearly to meet Master Wang. I don’t know how long I have secretly studied the Ming culture.
Mahmoud said movedly: "Wali, Allah will bless you."

"Your Highness, I'm going to prepare right now. Take a short nap and take a rest." After finishing speaking, Wali went outside to prepare to tie his tools and hands.

After Wali left, Mahmoud was full of thoughts and was exhausted, but he had to hint that he had to take a rest, because resting could make him run better.

On the contrary, with Wall-E around, you don't have to worry too much about running away.

Just a few minutes after he fell asleep, he was woken up by his concubine, who saw his beautiful and beautiful concubine tremblingly saying: "His Royal Highness, something is wrong!"

Mahmud Sultan broke out in a cold sweat and asked, "My concubine, what's the matter?"

The concubine said in a trembling voice: "His Royal Highness, something is wrong, someone has plotted a rebellion!"

At this time, in the bedroom of the Sultan's palace, there were still candles covered with lampshades, which were not bright and dazzling for the convenience of sleeping.

Because it is near the sea, it also has a luxurious taste of ambergris.

But at this time, under the dim light, there were vague figures, reflecting the light of the knife, and the sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer. Even when he just recovered, Sultan Mahmoud still smelled a strong smell of blood!

Suddenly, he broke out in a cold sweat and shouted: "Hamid! Wally!"

He hurriedly called out the names of his most loyal palace guard and military minister.

After shouting once or twice, he suddenly saw a head rolling over on the ground.

It was the head of Hamid, the head of the palace guard.

Sultan Mahmud, who couldn't take it anymore, fainted.

So, Sultan Mahmud and his beautiful concubine were tied up by Wali and brought to the commander of the Guards, Pan Aqiang, in person!
