Win the Ding 1617

() On the 27th day of the first month of the second year of Chongzhen.It is appropriate to go out.

In Cam Ranh Bay, the flag of the Portuguese Restoration was fluttering aggrievedly on several small boats. Around his fleet, there were more than twenty boats of different sizes on the left wing of the South China Army Navy.

Zhang Xiaohu was very proud to put his golden tiger head logo on the ship Fubo that originally belonged to Shouhan. Now this ship belongs to him, and it will be used as the flagship of this trip to Manlajia.

Around the flagship, the newly launched five two-masted gunboats are as eye-catching as the bridegroom. The cron guns and mortars on the ship are wrapped in brand-new gun jackets by the gunners, lest a little sea water wet these silent comrades-in-arms .And the people on board were as excited as grooms, with a little nervousness.

They are about to go south.

On the wharf of Cam Ranh Bay, Shou Han gave a farewell party for Colonel Gonzalez, commander of the Rehabilitation Army, Zhang Xiaohu, commander of the southward fleet of the South China Army Navy, and Ye Qi, who was in charge of the land battle.

"Chasing Chao Ye Xianggong, who is very famous in the south of the Yangtze River. I don't know if Qinhuai Fengyue, 24 bridge lights, have you ever lost your fighting spirit?"

Ye Qi rushed back from Jiangnan years ago, and originally planned to make a detailed plan for Chongzhen's business expansion plan in the second year, but when he heard that the troops were going south to fight the Portuguese, he was delighted to see him for a while, and couldn't bear it. I couldn't help begging for the job of commanding five battalions of troops.

Ye Qi blushed slightly, the so-called chasing Mr. Ye was called out from the Qinhuai River.That year, while watching the tide on the Qiantang River, Ye Qi saw the monstrous tide on the Qiantang River galloping like thousands of roaring war horses. On a whim, she hugged a famous chicken from the Qinhuai River that accompanied her to watch the tide. With a four-wheeled open-top carriage, he personally waved his long whip, and then galloped wildly in front of the Zhenjiang River in Yanguan, Haining, parallel to the great tide in the middle of the river.Poor that famous chicken from the Qinhuai River, I could hear the thunderous roar of the great river roaring in my ears, and the wind mixed with sea water and river water rushing towards my face. He just held onto the railing of the carriage tightly and waited until Ye Qi waved his whip and chased Chao's head until he arrived at Meimeiba in Zheshan Bay, Nanyang, Xiaoshan. , beat Ye Qi's chest with a powder fist, and wept bitterly while beating.After the rest of the crowd caught up panting, the woman was coaxed by Ye Qi into a smile. Someone touched the wheel with her hand, and found that the wheel made of steel and covered with cork had become extremely hot. !Since then, chasing Ye Xianggong's name has been shouted on the Qinhuai River, and countless Qinhuai women are proud to be able to get on Ye Xianggong's carriage.Of course, sisters love banknotes and love fashion more, and it would be even better if they were more famous.Unfortunately, Ye Qi has all of these.

"Shaoning has been working for the master and running for Nanzhong in the past few years. Although he leaned on the red and nestled in the green and won the reputation of the brothel, it was also very hard." Ye Qi's friend, chief historian and chief office chief Li Peilin couldn't bear to see him embarrassed , to defend him.

"I'm also worried that Shaoning's life has been too comfortable for the past few years, and his body has come back to life. I don't know if he can fight right away?" Shou Han winked at Ye Qi slyly.

In the cabin, several school graduates put down their backpacks and luggage, and without caring about tidying up, they opened up a set of tools in their hands and began to do testing.This group of students has just passed the graduation exam. As students taught by Shou Han himself, they studied functions, logarithms and other subjects, and were assigned according to their test scores. The third class went to the arsenal or the artillery to measure the distance and calculate the trajectory, and the fourth class went to the new area to measure the land.

These people in the cabin are responsible for measuring the route, sea area, and position of the sea-going ship, and providing shooting distance and other data for the artillery. "My lord has said that this voyage will not take the islands along the way as a reference, but will be based entirely on astrology and the calculation results provided by us. Dear students, whether we show our faces or show our eyes in the future depends on ourselves!"

A student fiddled with the sextant in his hand, looking up at the rising sun from the hatch of the cabin through the lens on the sextant.The main body of this sextant is a fan-shaped frame made of brass. The arc of the fan is 60 degrees, which is 16 of the circumference.The main components are composed of a fixed semi-reflective glass (horizon mirror), a movable mirror (index mirror), a telescope, and a movable arm, which can accurately measure the angle between the celestial body and the horizon, that is, according to The angle between the altitude of the sun and the sea level at this moment, so as to deduce the geographic coordinates.Calculate your location.

<”

The students asked and answered each other in a proud tone of the emperor's disciples.

The supplies needed for the long-distance voyage were carried into the cargo hold by the coolies, including food, water, wine, meat, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as a large amount of gunpowder and shells.The artillery equipped by the land battalion was pushed into the bilge with great difficulty by the soldiers, and was fixed to the bilge with ropes as ballast.

For this expedition, the brig, the newest ship equipped by the South China Army, was also able to show off his technical level at the same time. He was very proud to control the ship and make a U-turn on the spot.

As a latecomer to the schooner, the schooner with two masts has stronger sailing ability, better control, and requires relatively fewer manpower than the schooner with only one main mast. The mainmast is slightly smaller, and there are foremast, foremast topsail, foremast topsail, foremast topsail from bottom to top, and there are stay sails and bowsprits between the foremast and bowsprit, forming a A complex and powerful rigging system provided a sufficient power system for this kind of fireship with a hull length of 40 meters, a displacement of [-] tons, and loaded with four cron guns and two mortar guns.

By the way, the brig is a well-known ship type used by pirates, and it has an outstanding performance in the famous Pirates of the Caribbean.Because of its excellent performance, the British Navy even used it as a registered ship for legal pirates.

Firecrackers sounded to send off on the pier, and several pairs of lions also began to dance, shaking their heads and tails. All the gunboats fired cannons in order to pay tribute to the guards and his party who were seeing off on the pier.After that, according to the command of the captains, they slowly left their respective anchorages and sailed towards the sea of ​​Cam Ranh Bay.

"Hope this trip goes well!"

"Brother Zong, don't worry! There are only a few hundred Portuguese barbarians in the city of Manjaga, and the number of artillery is less than a fraction of our army. I have dispatched the fifth battalion of land divisions this time, and it is definitely a lion against a rabbit!"

"It's easy to capture Managa, but it will take a lot of effort to capture the surrounding places such as Johor and Aceh."

"That's the business of Ye Qi, Zhang Xiaoliuzi and others! I just need to delegate power to them, so that they have sufficient power to make decisions on the fly!"

"Oh! I've never seen anyone like you!"

Li Peilin sighed helplessly, expressing his serious dissatisfaction with Shou Han's behavior of acting as a hands-off shopkeeper.

"Tell me, what's the situation in Manjijia?" In the cabin of the flagship of the Three-Headed Tiger, Zhang Xiaohu, Ye Qi and other colleagues discussed the enemy's situation and the people's situation in the area to be attacked.

"It should be said that this is the home of the passers-by." Ye Qi drank the sugarcane wine in his glass.

Guofan is a dialect in the Hokkien dialect. It is the way and means for people in southern Fujian to make a living, just like going to the West Gate and passing through the Guandong. Since the Tang Dynasty, or even earlier, people here have a tradition of going to Nanyang to make a living. The reason is that it is located in Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, Xiamen, and neighboring Chaozhou in southern Fujian have many mountains and little land, and the land available for cultivation is really precious.With the progress of the Song-Yuan War, the remnants of the Anti-Yuan Rebel Army had to retreat to Sanfoqi, Java, Sumatra, Champa and other places; in the Yuan Dynasty, as a collection place for sailors and soldiers, a large number of people in Fujian, Guangdong and other places Was conscripted into the fleet, came to this area with the conquest army, and stayed. (This is true history. Today, the Thaksin family in Thailand and the Aquino family in the Philippines are all descendants of immigrants from Fujian. Of course, forgetting their ancestors is also a specialty of many people. We will not say anything here.)

"The target of this conquest is Manlajia, and there are many Chinese Miao people! When the Sanbao eunuch went to the West, he used this place five times as a place for festivals and supplies. Although it is occupied by Portuguese barbarians, there must be a Dan system, and the Kapitan in the Malawi area is mostly run by Chinese.”

The Kapitan system was established after the Portuguese occupied Malacca. It is impossible to verify whether Kapitan is a loan word from Portuguese or a local dialect in Nanyang. The Portuguese adopted "divide and rule" and " "Indirect rule", trying to use the original traditional power structure to govern the colonial administration, and the "Kapitan system" based on the principle of not changing traditional customs.The original local chiefs (such as landlords and nobles) were empowered, their status was recognized by the colonial government, and they were given public coercive power to achieve political control and economic interests.In his book "Revolutionary Army", Zou Rong compared the officials in the inland to Jiabitan, saying that "there is still Jiabitan in the inland. Into the brain embryo."

It’s a bit far away, let’s turn back and talk about this era!

Kapitan in this era mainly played the role of a bridge and a contact between the colonial regime and the local society, and was generally hereditary by Chinese elders or powerful Chinese families.In return, the colonial authorities gave Kapitan the right to commercial retail, the right to contract coastal trade, and the right to include industry taxes.So, since ancient times Oh!

"So, what my lord means is that the war should be handled by the Portuguese Rehabilitation Government. We just need to accept the territory, provide firepower assistance, and don't destroy the local social structure for the time being, so as not to do things like brother-in-law killing among compatriots However, if someone forgets their bloodline and dares to resist our army, the lord has an order! Their blood will be sacrificed to the flag!"

As the commander of this expedition, Ye Qi's quiet and delicate face did not have the elegance of a literati, but it was full of murderous intent.

A group of people walked to the deck, and the sea wind blowing head-on ripped people's clothes like sails on the mast. Looking far away, in the fleet, the blessing boats responsible for transporting troops and supplies, and the brigantines responsible for fire assault The sailing ship, the blast ship as the main combat ship, the plywood ship of the Portuguese restoration, and the fourth-class ship Santouhu as the flagship, dozens of ships, large and small, almost completely covered the entire route.

"This is the mast like a cloud!"

After experiencing the wind and moon in the south of the Yangtze River, Ye Qi still likes this kind of life in her bones, traveling across the sea, happy to be kind and enmity, instead of fighting with those potbellied officials and merchants for wine, meat and songs.

"Commander Ye, when I was making a living at sea, I also heard people talk about Manlajia, saying that there are a lot of ships passing by here, and the place is quite rich!"

Zhang Xiaohu still looked like a bloodthirsty and greedy pirate. He licked his chapped and chapped lips with his tongue, deliberately pretending that he had never seen money.

screw you!Ye Qi cursed,

"Haven't you never read the briefing on the enemy's situation issued by the Business Intelligence Office? You are still pretending to be straightforward here!"

Dodging Ye Qifei's kick, Zhang Xiaohu continued to tease Ye Qi with a smile, "I'm a rough man, and I can't read a whole bunch of big words. To be honest, I can recognize the words on the enemy's briefing. But they don't recognize me!"

"You bastard!" Ye Qi hadn't had such a hearty experience for a long time, and she made false fists and fake legs with Zhang Xiaohu, and simply sat on the deck, looking at the group of people curiously. The students used a sextant to measure the angle between the sun and the sea level, calculated the location, corrected the course, and told Zhang Xiaohu about the past.

"In the third year of Zhengde, Duan Yazhi, the envoy of Manchujia, etc., paid tribute. His general officer Yaliu, originally from Wan'an, Jiangxi, Xiao Mingju, fled to his country with guilt, bribed Datong's Wang Yong, Xuban Zhangzi, and sought to go to the country. The treasure was collected from the mud. Hou Yong, an official of the Ministry of Rites, was also bribed and faked a seal to interfere with postal transmission. Returning to Guangdong, Mingju argued with Duanya's wise generation, so he was beheaded with his colleague Peng Wan and others, and Wang Yongjia died. Three hundred stones of rice will be fined, and Zhang Zi and Hou Yong will be garrisoned along the border, and everyone below Shangshu Baiyue will be fined."

"Later, Folang Ji was strong and invaded his land with his troops. Wang Suduan's mother finally ran away and sent envoys to complain. At that time, Emperor Shizong ordered Folang Ji to return his homeland. He ordered the kings of Siam to rescue their neighbors for disaster relief. So far, those who have not responded, Manlajia was destroyed. At that time, Folangji also sent envoys to ask for tribute, and arrived in Guangdong. direct repatriation"

"That is to say, since the reign of Zhengde, this is not the land of my Ming Dynasty?" Zhang Xiaohu squinted his small eyes that were blown red by the sea breeze, and suddenly said this sentence.

"Not bad!"

"Drop that horse! If you have the time to argue with the emperor Lao Tzu about this and stop that, build a few more big gunboats, go south along the coast, and take the territory back from the Frangji people. Isn't that better than anything else?! "

"That's right! It's a pleasure to use these big ships to compete with the Portuguese, Dutch, and English in this sea and sky!"

"Gan Yiniang! Don't rely on cannons or soldiers, but rely on the imperial edict on a piece of torn paper, and plan to let the Frang robot give up the territory? Are these people in the imperial court blown out of their heads by sea water? ?!"

"That's right! And ordered Siam to send troops? Can Siam take care of this matter?"

In the sound of the waves on the sea, people loudly scolded the princes in the court for their detrimental actions.

According to the battle plan and division of labor, after the fleet crosses the South China Sea and enters the Managa Strait, a division of troops will be made. One battalion and three brigantines will stay at the mouth of the strait and attack the enemy at the exit of the strait. Another battalion and two rocket boats echoed across the sea and captured the Johor Bahru area across the strait.

Looking through the binoculars at the subordinates who were constantly coming and going to land in small boats, the curious natives along the coast, and the Chinese who looked at the Celestial Army with somewhat eager and terrified eyes, Ye Qi and Zhang Xiaohu Everyone felt that the lord was so mobilizing the army this time, with thousands of people and dozens of ships going south, is it a bit overkill?Such a desolate island can be easily pacified by a battalion of soldiers.

After a few words of complaint, the fleet continued to move westward.

The anchorage was found on Wangjiali Island opposite Managali City, and the fleet broke down.Prepare to start a head-to-head battle with the Portuguese across the sea.

Because of the existence of competition with Manga on the opposite side, after learning of the intention of the Chinese army, the Sultanate of Sumatra across the strait sent a guide to introduce the military situation to the army.

Ye Qi, Zhang Xiaohu and others, as commanders, accompanied by Gonzalez, boarded a brig across the strait to observe closely the city of Manga, which the lord never forgets.

At this time, the population of the city of Malaga was only a few thousand, and on the other side of the old ariver, there were groups of elevated wooden houses with thatched roofs.The bridge across the river connects the residential areas on both sides, and serves as a market to provide needed items for residents and emerging overseas trade.The small shops opened by Chinese tourists from Fujian and other places are engaged in the purchase and retail of pepper and other spices in this area.

On the hillside is the Santiago Fortress built by the Portuguese.This fortress with a height of more than 30 meters was built by the Portuguese who first built the city here to prevent the counterattack of the defeated King Managa's army.
