Dragon Sea Empire

Madalam in this era was the heartland of Java Island.Very densely populated.But Yin Feng and others brought the army all the way over.These people seldom resisted the foreign Tang army.One is that the main rulers and army commanders of the territory directly under the Sultan of Madalan followed Sultan Agung to fight in Cirebon.Madalan has no capable organizational leaders; the second is that the Madalan dynasty was originally established on the basis of military violence and heavy exorbitant taxes.Islam has not yet spread.The natives of Java just succumbed to the power of the feudal lord.There is no centripetal force for this emerging dynasty.

马达兰平民只有沉重的义务。很少有政治权利可言。这本是封建王国的一般特征。以当时的北加浪岸州为例:全州居民一年要向州长官贡纳相当于4000里阿尔(9000盾)的米和椰子油之类的实物。在战时则要应征服兵役。并无任何报酬。这也是以农村公社为基础的封建国家的一般现象。此外又有不属于农村公社的居民。既要交税又要服兵役。道路、桥梁以及一切公共工程大都用居民的义务劳役來修建和维持的。此外。又有所谓人头税。已婚的爪哇人。每人收人头税10盾。末婚的收5盾。被征服的区域。如马都拉人和苏鲁马益人。则须付20里阿尔(约50盾)。而对于在马达兰统治区内的华人。已婚的应付50盾。未婚的40盾。

Yin Feng and others are now in the north of Kerta, the capital of Madaram.on the southern plains.There are fertile fields and villages and towns everywhere.Although Kerta has no city walls.It's not like a royal city.But it is extremely densely populated.The guide of Balaban Tubang said: There are tall watchtowers and alarm bells on the corners of the Kerta.Just ring the bell.30 armed men can be mobilized from neighboring villages and towns.

The armed men gathered under the sound of alarm bells these days are right in front of Yin Feng. 30 things are absolutely nothing.But there are hundreds of thousands of people.

And on the side of the Chinese Army.But there are also tens of thousands of Javanese natives who came to join them: it turns out that these are the subjects of the Tubang kingdoms such as Basuruan, Pachang, and Wilasono.They followed the defeat of the Allied Forces of East Java and the Madalan Army last year.Be plundered and come to Madalam.Those who engaged in hard labor for the construction of the new capital.Among them are the Hindus of Balaban State.I saw Hindu flags in the Chinese army.Take the initiative to surrender to the Chinese army.It led to a large number of prisoners of the East Java coalition army to defect to the side of the Chinese army.

then.The interior of Madaram's capital, Kerta.Everything is under the control of the Chinese Army.

Yin Feng ordered Li Xing to take the headquarters and a regiment of the Fifth Division and the First Division to rest for a while.There is no need to wait for the artillery units to arrive.Attack now.The infantry brigade that has just changed from marching to camping.Abandon the half-built camp.Line up and attack.

Madalam's former prime minister, Churu Maltani, is nearly 70 years old.He is the hero of Sultan Agung's father's generation.Now in semi-retirement.The Chinese army suddenly invaded the territory directly under the Sultan of Madalan.This made Kerta's left-behind nobles and generals panic.The old Prime Minister Chulu Maltani had to be invited out again to take charge of defense affairs.Mai Xiaoliu found out from the Javanese Hindus who had come to seek refuge: The old prime minister had sent emergency letters to Yogyakarta, Bachang and Gedu to dispatch troops.In order to capture Kerta before Madalan's army gathers.Yin Feng ordered the whole army to attack Kerta.

Yin Feng mobilized all cavalry reconnaissance teams from various troops.A temporary cavalry battalion with 800 cavalry was concentrated.First attack the village west of Kerta.Then.The soldiers of the third division gathered all the Thunderbolt rockets they carried with them.A salvo was fired at the assembled native militia of Kerta.A total of more than 1000 Thunderbolt rockets roared and smashed at the Madalan people who were in chaos.

In the whistle of dozens of conchs and the commanders of the sentries.The 18000 infantry soldiers of the Chinese Army lined up in a horizontal line as long as five miles.Under the cover of bombardment by more than a dozen divisional field artillery deployed on the two wings.Begin to advance slowly towards the densely populated Madalans to the south.

The 60 Madalans who were summoned temporarily were nothing but a mob.Belonging to various feudal lords and various villages.The more people, the more chaotic.More than a thousand Thunderbolt rockets blasted the dense crowd like a boil.Most people are running around like headless chickens.As the artillery units of the rear of the Chinese Army arrived one after another.Immediately set up artillery positions and start shooting.The number of field guns participating in the bombardment increased from a dozen at the beginning to more than [-].Solid bullets rained down on the bloody alleyway among the crowd in Madalan.The latest shrapnel shells knocked the Madalans to the ground in droves.Explosive grenades blasted open spaces among the crowd.

The heavy artillery units towed by elephants have not yet arrived.But a group of ox carts carrying the large Thunderbolt rocket had arrived.This kind of large thunderbolt rocket is as tall as a person and as thick as a person's waist.There are ten in total.It was personally escorted by craftsmen from the Weapons Research Department.Because this heavy rocket is still in the trial production stage.

Ten huge rockets lifted off with long plumes of smoke.Two of them exploded prematurely in mid-air.I don't know where the eighty catties of iron shotguns I carried flew to; the other two flew into the air and then flew to the southern sky in a snake-like posture.It is not known where it ended up; the rest of the giant shotguns landed on top of the dense crowd in front of the Sultan's Palace in Kerta.Boom boom boom after the explosion.A Shura field with a radius of more than a hundred feet was created.Thousands of Madalan people screamed and fell to the ground after being hit by tens of thousands of iron bullets.

Yin Feng and Luo Quanxiu, the deputy commander of the fifth division as the reserve force of the whole army, and Wang Shuowang, the commander of the student battalion.Colonel Kutley, the chief of staff, and Lu Ruohan, a missionary who accompanied him, watched the battle with binoculars behind the artillery positions.See this miserable scene.Lu Ruohan kept making the sign of the cross on his chest: "This is not a battle. This is a massacre. A unilateral massacre."

Luo Quanxiu shook his head and said: "The Madalan people have no organization at all. They are so close to us. They dare to gather so many people. It seems that our fifth division doesn't need to attack at all..."

Yin Feng also shook his head: "This is a gap in technology and tactics. And there is a gap of thousands of miles. This gap cannot be filled by numbers."

The first line of the Chinese Army infantry lined up in two four-row horizontal formations.A salvo has already begun.It was no longer possible for the chaotic Madalan people to fight in formation.It can be said that before they fired an arrow and cut a knife.There was no hope of victory.Actually.Soldiers of the Chinese Army participating in the battle this time.Half of them are recruits after the new round of reorganization and expansion.After the baptism of blood and fire in this battle.These recruits saw blood.Truly become a warrior.

As the Chinese Army infantry entered the range.Start shooting at the Madalans.The [-] Madalan armed men gathered in the north of Kerta collapsed.Flee south, east, and west in front of the advancing Chinese army.No one dared to face the Chinese army's tens of thousands of flintlock guns erupting with fiery bullets.

Nearly 5000 armed men assembled temporarily in Madalan died in battle.And there are more than [-] people who trampled on each other to death.In the sweeping operations that followed.Nearly [-] Madalan people were killed.Many well-known Madalan noble families were exterminated.The clergy teacher of Sultan Agung in the palace was killed.Several imams escaped death by hiding in the mosque; Yin Feng had ordered that the mosque not be burned down.a whole night.Rivers of blood flowed everywhere in the city of Kerta.The flames burst into the sky.

that night.The capital of Madaram, Kerta, fell.

Although Yin Feng has made sufficient preparations for this battle.But captured Kerta so easily.It still made him and all the soldiers of the Chinese army overjoyed.When Li Kuiqi arrived with heavy siege artillery.The war is over.The palace has been captured.Yin Feng has already lived in the bedroom of Sultan Agung.

The ruling institutions of the Madalan dynasty at all levels of feudal lords and nobles in Kerta collapsed.The Sudanese Guards also collapsed en masse.Under the leadership of those Hindus and indigenous hard laborers.The Chinese army quickly took control of the palace and treasury of Sultan Agung.All the wealth accumulated by the three generations of Madalan Sultans fell into the hands of the Chinese Army.at the same time.Sultan Agung's princess and two young sons were also captured.The Chinese cavalry bypassed Kerta.In the south, the remnants of the Sudanese Guards who fled were defeated in one fell swoop.Capture the old Prime Minister Churu Maltani.

The day after the capture of Kerta.Yin Feng divided his troops into four.All-round march to the territory directly under the Sultan of the Madalan Dynasty.The artillery units were two days later.Cooperating with foreign mercenaries and the third regiment of the fifth division.The bustling and historic ancient city of Yogyakarta was blasted away from the city wall.Foreign mercenaries burned, killed and looted wantonly in the city.Almost razed the western part of Yogyakarta to the ground.Thousands of natives were massacred.Tens of thousands of people were robbed.The Fifth Division troops and artillery were not idle either.affected by mercenaries.They also set fire to the eastern part of the ancient city of Yogyakarta.But subject to military discipline restrictions.Not many people were killed.In addition, the palace of the Prince of Yogyakarta is in Dongcheng.They also gained a lot.The main grassroots supervisor of the Fifth Division.It turned out to be the backbone of Yan Siqi's fifth regiment.He has always been known for his murderous spirit and poor discipline.After several trials.The murderous aura subsided slightly.But the true nature of looting is still inherited.

The troops along the way, mainly composed of temporary cavalry battalions, went south.Pursue an army led by one of Sultan Agung's brothers.They were chased all the way to the Pacific Ocean before they were captured.

at the same time.The troops of the [-]th Division and the [-]rd Division marched east to the Bachang area (Shoro).Strict discipline is enforced along the way: all villages and towns that resist.All razed to the ground.A flood of indigenous refugees fled across Central Java's most prosperous heartland.Fireworks of death and destruction engulfed the entire heart of Madalam.

Yin Feng also dispatched a regiment of the First Division.Go straight to Wanyumas in the west.It is necessary to cut off all food and payment channels for the Madalan army in Cirebon.

The Chinese army swept the entire Central Java region with blood and fire.And push the fireworks of death and destruction to the entire Java Island.

While the main force of the Chinese army conquered Kerta.Three battleships Hiji and one Battleship Yuan bombarded the port of Pekalongan with [-] cannons.Cooperating with the two battalions of the fifth division and the sailor marines advancing westward, they attacked the city guarded by the prefect of Beijialongan.This important port of the Madalan dynasty was captured within a day.

in East Java.Twenty cruisers of the Taiwan Fleet of the Chinese Army approached the city of Surabaya.The two battalions of the Nanyang Brigade bombarded Surabaya with field artillery...
