People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 383: Occupying Malaysia and guarding the Strait of Malacca is the most important part of Ming Dynasty's management of Southeast Asia.

Chen Han looked at the man named Wang Asan, even though he heard him say that he now controls many people closely related to Chen Zuyi in Sanviqi, and the high position he holds is to subvert the entire country of Sanviqi.

But he still didn't quite believe it.

Judging from the intelligence data passed by Lan Yu and others, this Sanfoqi is indeed a difficult nut to crack.

And unlike many countries in Southeast Asia, it is highly exclusive.

It is also difficult to pee in the same pot as other Southeast Asian countries.

Even now, the Ming Dynasty has established ports and trade distribution centers in Annan and Siam, respectively.
But this Sanfuqi still has the feeling that everyone is drunk and I am alone.

It has even been closed to the country and did not conduct transactions with the Ming Dynasty.

This makes Chen Han and the others quite strange.

But Chen Han got a hint of it from Wang Asan's words.

Judging from Xia Yuanji's letters, this family is by no means that simple.

From this it can be seen that this Wang Asan said that he has mastered some very confidential information within the country of Sanviqi, which can subvert the entire Sanviqi, which seems to be a bit shadowy.

The key to controlling maritime trade, the economy mainly relies on transit trade.

To the west is an important channel leading to the Indian Ocean and developing South Asian trade.

It was a mess, and Chen Han didn't quite understand what the official titles of Sanviqi actually meant.

Because these people have always been of Han descent, they are used to writing Chinese characters.

Also because his position is too important.

Wang Asan explained, "Sir, don't look at it. There are only thirty-four people here, but what they master is crucial.

Going south is a logistical supply point for Australia in the future.

After all, this country is now in decline, and internal chaos must be endless, otherwise it will not be destroyed by another country.

But in such a remote area, if there is no logistical supply point, it would be too far to transport directly from the Ming Dynasty or other countries in Southeast Asia.

Because this country supports pirates, the strength of pirates has increased a lot.

Speaking of Sanviqi, it is also a pretty powerful country.

Actually because this place is so important.

There is no chaos in Sriwijaya today. Once they want to do something, they will immediately be suppressed by the Sriwijaya royal family. What else can they do? "

These three people must be somewhat capable if they can escape from Malaysia, which is so far away in Southeast Asia, all the way back to the Ming Dynasty.

However, Chen Han still wanted to use his words to see if what he said now could be consistent with what happened in history.

But Chen Han is still there. I don’t quite believe that the information in Wang Asan’s hands is so important.

For example, the so-called generals, the so-called officials in the province, etc.

He himself is the king's personal general.

That is this country, and it is very likely that it actually has a strong connection with Chen Zuyi and others.

In other words, even if the Ming Dynasty did not destroy Sanfuqi, he would be destroyed by another powerful country two years later.

The first twelve are all those who hold military power in the hands of Sanviqi, especially this Loya Patma.
He has at least 30,000 of Sanviqi's most elite troops in his hands, and these troops also guard the royal family members.

So Chen Han thought for a while and asked in a different tone: "I'm very surprised that you can have that information in your hand, why can't the royal family of Sanviqi have it?
Furthermore, why do you think that these people in your hands can overthrow Srivijaya's regime.

Wang Asan understood that Chen Han didn't trust him, so he took out a list from his pocket.

So why is the land where Sanfuqi is located so important? It is a battleground for military strategists. There have been many foreign invasions in history.

It is also a coincidence that this country existed until the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty when it was destroyed by the Majapahit Kingdom in East Java for thirty years.

The Ming Dynasty must capture the excellent iron ore and various mineral resources in Australia.

But this person has always been greedy and fond of beauty.

Chen Han took it over and looked at it. It was full of the names of about thirty people, and of course some positions were added at the back.

Their supervision in Nanyang began in the Song Dynasty and has been for six to seven hundred years now. Their sphere of influence includes most of the Malay Peninsula and the Sunda Islands.

The Strait of Malacca is within Srivijaya.

The lists are all written in Chinese characters.

This Sanfoqi, Chen Han and the others must be destroyed, not because they are closed to the outside world and do not participate in the trade of the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang.

And this Srivijaya is just stuck on this buffer point.

This will confirm whether he is lying or bluffing.

Only then did Chen Han remember that the main area of ​​activity for Chen Zuyi and the others was the Strait of Malacca.

For this reason, they were afraid that the Ming Dynasty would settle accounts with them if they found out about these things.

In this way, it can be explained that these guys are rejecting the Ming Dynasty at this time.

What such a person holds in his hands must have some effect.

Thinking of this, Chen Han slightly believed what he said.

Chen Zuyi bribed him a total of more than 3,400 kilograms of gold through my wife's family.

Most of it was used by him to build his own estate, and the remaining half was stored on a small island controlled by the Majapahit Kingdom.

The reason why this person became the target of Chen Zuyi's bribery was because his bloodline came from the Majapahit Kingdom.

In fact, they had already discussed with the Majapahit Kingdom early on how to start an uprising on a certain day.

Chen Zuyi had already colluded with the Majapahit Kingdom and with this Loya Patmo.

They wanted to overthrow the entire Sanviqi, and then Royapamo would succeed him as the king of Sanviqi.

But in fact, Majapahit was in control behind it.

At that time, Chen Zuyi will take over Roye Patmo's current position.

Chen Zuyi's mission is to cooperate with the Majapahit Kingdom to eliminate all the navy forces of Sambuchi.

As for the remaining people, they will all rise up in this conspiracy. "

Chen Han heard the name Majapayi from his mouth.

It's really like what's recorded in history.

Although Wang Asan said the foreign name of the Majapahit Kingdom, the transliteration is the current name of the Majapahit Kingdom.

It seems that this is highly consistent with historical events.

No wonder there are so many problems among them. It turns out that the Majapahit Kingdom and Royapamo and Chen Zuyi had already started planning a few years ago.

And this seems to be in line with Chen Zuyi's thoughts.

This guy fled from Chaozhou, Guangdong to Nanyang and developed such a large pirate gang, not only through his own efforts, but also with the support of neighboring countries.

He occupies the Strait of Malacca and has long been in collusion with the countries in the Malay Archipelago. And he himself would never be willing to just be a little pirate leader.

In history, when Chen Zuyi was alive, he also became the general of a small country, but in fact, even the king was controlled by him.

It can be seen that this guy has had this ambition for a long time.

And helping Majapahit to overthrow the Sanviqi regime and thus entering the officialdom is definitely what this guy dreams of.

Even Chen Han felt something in his heart.

The reason why Chen Zuyi had so much gold was to bribe this Roya Patmo and bribe other officials at the same time.

It is possible that Majapahit was behind this.

Chen Han was quite satisfied after hearing what he wanted.

From what he said and from the historical events he remembered, we knew he was not lying.

But Chen Han would not give him confidence so easily.

So he took the piece of paper and looked at the list on it, and said: "I am going to verify it. If what you said is true, then your family including you will be protected by Ming Dynasty.

You might even get extraordinary treatment from Ming Dynasty.

But if you tell any lies, you should know what will happen to you and your family. "

Wang Asan immediately knelt down on the ground: "Sir, we have come all the way to find you. It is because we have seen that the navy you have developed is now invincible in Southeast Asia, and it has even controlled the maritime trade in Annan-Siam.

So we also guessed that you will definitely let the navy develop southward to open up a sea route to Tianzhu.
But this Srivijaya must lie across the place where you open the throat of the sea route.

That's why we are here to offer you this rare fighter jet.

If you provoke a civil war between them at this time, thereby attracting a life-and-death fight between Majapahit and Srivijaya, and then reap the benefits,
Not only could he take Sanfoqi as his own, but he could even destroy the Majapahit Kingdom as well.

After all, the Majapahit Kingdom was also an obstacle between Tianzhu and Nanyang.
After this road is opened, trade can develop westward.

There are still vast tracts of commercially undeveloped land. "

When Wang Asan said this, he looked at Chen Han expectantly. He was probably expecting Chen Han to be interested in what he said and treat him as a guest of honor.

But Chen Han's eyes were calm, without a trace of ripples, which made Wang Asan feel like he had punched cotton, and was embarrassed for a moment.

Chen Han was actually a little surprised inside.

This Wang Asan looked ordinary, but I didn't expect that I could guess even a hint of his intentions.

The air was filled with an awkward atmosphere for a while.

Wang Asan stopped talking, while Chen Han looked at him quietly.

Then Chen Han stood up and said, "Just wait."

After saying that, Chen Han turned around and left, leaving Wang Asan in this small room.

After the door was closed with a bang, Wang Asan looked at Chen Han's figure leaving through the small ventilation window, feeling a little depressed.

Although his family had been saved by Xia Yuanji, it was still unclear whether Chen Han and the others would protect them as agreed.

Hundreds of members of his family and his wife's family were brutally poisoned by that fifth master. This revenge must be avenged.

That's why they risked countless hardships, evaded the pirates sent by the Fifth Master, and returned to the land where their ancestors once lived, just to pray that Chen Han would believe them.

What Chen Han was planning was definitely a national strategy, but they just wanted to use Chen Han's power to brutally deal with the Fifth Master and his gang of pirates.

It would even be better if he had the opportunity to chop off Master Wu's head himself.

Of course this is just wishful thinking.

Even if Chen Han and his navy wiped out the Fifth Master and his group, it would not be his turn to chop off the Fifth Master's head with a knife.

But as long as they can see this bastard die, it is already the biggest gain for them.

……

After Chen Han interrogated Wang Ashan, he immediately found Prince Zhu Biao.

The two discussed the matter in the study of the Prince of the East Palace.

"What do you think about this?"

Chen Han put the list on the table, and the two sat looking at each other.

Chen Han said, "According to the records of later generations, two years later, in the 30th year of Hongwu, Sanfuqi was indeed destroyed by Majapayi Kingdom.

Of course, there are very few historical records of what happened in the meantime.

In other words, our Central Plains dynasty has very few records about them.

However, it can be seen from Wang Ashan's confession that the reason why Sanfoqi was destroyed must have been a big mess.

Especially those individuals he mentioned, if they really colluded with Majapahit, they could completely overthrow Sanvijay.

So I think it can be believed.

His purpose is nothing more than to use our powerful navy to help them avenge their family.

But for our Ming Dynasty, if we can really take this opportunity to destroy Sanviqi and Majapahit, our road to Nanyang will be quite smooth. "

Chen Han pointed to the map he drew based on the world map inside the tablet.

“This Sanviqi is right on the edge of the Strait of Malacca where we are going west to the Southeast Asia.

If we don't capture this Sriwijaya, our ship will not be able to safely pass through the Strait of Malacca.

Even if we want to go south to colonize Australia, this place is also the continent closest to Australia and can provide logistical supplies.

Therefore, capturing this place is definitely the most important part of our Ming Dynasty strategy in Nanyang. "

Zhu Biao looked at the world map. From the places pointed out by Chen Han, he could see that although the Ming Dynasty now controls countries such as Annam, Champa and Siam, it can only be regarded as still wandering in the inner sea of ​​Nanyang and cannot go west to reach South Asia. .

If we want to go westward through the Nanyang Inland Sea normally and occupy Sanviqi around the Strait of Malacca, that is definitely the top priority.

Why Chen Zuyi's pirate gang has always been entrenched in the Strait of Malacca is because the transportation artery between Nanyang and South Asia is in the Strait of Malacca. They can rob merchant ships and trade with surrounding countries.

Why is this Sanfuqi so closely related to Chen Zuyi and his pirate gang? It's because they are a colluding community.

At the same time, the country of Sanviqi is large enough. They have every reason not to play with Annam, Champa, Siam and other countries in the north. They can be self-sufficient.

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao looked at the world map, looked at Sanviqi, which hindered the Ming Dynasty from going west to the sea, looked at the Strait of Malacca, and made up his mind:
"Okay, since this Sanfuqi is lying on our way out to the west, then he must make way for our Ming Dynasty.

As you said, controlling Sanviqi means that we have an opportunity to attack Nanyang countries from the north and the south.

From now on, Annam, Champa, Siam, Cambodia and other countries will become the turtles in the urn in our hands. "

It seems that Zhu Biao thought further, and that's really the case.

Although the Ming Dynasty and the Three Buddhas are facing each other across the ocean, once they control it, it will be a key winning point.

Because countries such as Nepal to the west of Myanmar are densely covered with high mountains and jungles and virgin forests, it is difficult for them to go west by land, so they can only take the sea route.

If the Ming Dynasty controls this important waterway, it will control the throat of the Ming Dynasty. From then on, these countries will really become the possessions of the Ming Dynasty...
