Smuggling Daming

Chapter 438 Sunan Giri

Shi Jinqing has been dead for more than 90 years. Even if Mrs. Shi was only in her 20s at the time, she is now more than 110 years old. It is the first time that Qu Lie has seen such a long-lived person at such a young age, so when he heard this He was so shocked when the old woman claimed to be Shi Jinqing's daughter, the legendary Mrs. Shi.

There was no basis for his words. When Qu Lie took the seal in Mrs. Shi's hand and turned it over to see the six characters "Old Port Consolation Envoy Shi" engraved on it, the last trace of doubt in his heart disappeared. Back then, Shi Jinqing He surrendered to the imperial court, so he was named the comfort envoy of Jiugang. Later, Shi Jinqing passed away, and his daughter, Mrs. Shi, succeeded him. Unfortunately, after the Daming Sea was banned, the connection with Jiugang was severed. As a result, Mrs. Shi was unable to support herself. I had no choice but to attach the old port to Majapahit. In order to reassure Majapahit, Mrs. Shi herself moved to live in Java. This seal was the official seal given to Shi by the imperial court. Qu Lie's eyesight can naturally distinguish It is true and false, and this seal looks old, so it cannot be the latest forgery.

"It turned out to be Mrs. Shi, the last general, Qu Lie, is polite!" Qu Lie confirmed Mrs. Shi's identity, and then bowed to salute. Speaking of which, although Mrs. Shi inherited his father's position as the Old Port Propaganda Envoy, but In the end, he failed to keep the Old Port, so this official position was abolished, so Qu Lie didn't have to regard Mrs. Shi as an official, but he knew that Mrs. Shi had a high reputation among Muslims in Nanyang, so he didn't dare to offend easily, let alone What's more, a person can live to more than 100 years old, which in itself is a great prestige.

"It turned out to be General Qu. The old man stopped the general's driving this time. In fact, there is an extremely urgent matter to discuss with the general. This matter concerns the lives of tens of thousands of Han people in Java, as well as hundreds of thousands of Muslims. I also ask the general to move away from the left and right sides." Let me tell you in detail!" Mrs. Shi said again.

"Old Madam Qiu, please tell me!" Qu Lie was very interested in the long-lived Mrs. Shi in front of him, and he asked everyone around him to step back.Mrs. Shi's husband's surname is Qiu, and the Qiu family in Old Port is her husband's family, and that Qiu Ju is the eldest son and grandson of Mrs. Shi, and the other party can accurately block the advancing route of the fleet.I'm afraid it also has an inseparable relationship with the Qiu family. After all, many of the children of the Qiu family work in the army and the government.

Seeing that everyone around her retreated, Mrs. Shi smiled and pointed at the middle-aged native beside her and said, "General Qu, please look, this is the adoptive son accepted by the old man, whose name is Sunan. Jiri, he is now the chief imam of the Javanese Muslims, and the reason why the old man put down his old face to beg the general this time is precisely because he does not want to see the Muslims on Java Island suffer from the flames of war again."

When Qu Lie heard that the middle-aged native next to Mrs. Shi turned out to be the head of the Muslims in Java, he also took a special look at him, thinking that it's no wonder the other party has such a magnanimity.It turned out to be the religious leader of Java, in a country where theocracy is united like the Danmu Kingdom.The power of the Grand Master is definitely not less than that of King Danmu, but he did not expect that the other party turned out to be the adopted son of Mrs. Shi. It seems that Mrs. Shi's ability to have such a high reputation among Muslims must have something to do with this adopted son open relationship.

"Sunan Jili pays homage to General Qu!" Hearing the introduction from Bottom Line, Sunan Jili also hurriedly saluted Qu Lie. He grew up with Mrs. Shi and learned the etiquette of the Han family. Very different from ordinary natives.

Qu Lie didn't dare to underestimate this Sunan Jiri, so he clasped his fists in return.Then Madam Shi explained her reason for coming, but Qu Lie wanted to yell "God help me" after listening.

It turns out that the reason why Mrs. Shi went to sea to stop Qu Lie's fleet is actually very simple. In the past two years, Ming Dynasty has increased the immigration to Nanyang. Therefore, cruel policies were implemented against the natives of Nanyang. For example, the gold mines in Jinzhou, as long as the gold mines were found, the natives would be forced to move away. If they dared to resist, they would immediately attract the army. In addition, wherever the Han people were attacked, the native villages with a radius of tens of miles would be massacred.

The above series of cruel policies have made the natives of Nanyang fear Ming Dynasty.For example, the Muslim religious leaders headed by Sunan Jiri in Java, and the Han immigrants headed by Mrs. Shi are all worried that if Daming invades Java, they will implement the same cruel massacre policy as in other places in Nanyang. After all, they all know that Daming The military power of the Danmu Kingdom is unstoppable. Before the Danmu Kingdom was defeated in Jinzhou, it was a mess. Although it has taken advantage of the geographical advantage, there is still no confidence in the Danmu Kingdom. I am afraid that even the Danmu King himself does not have much confidence.

It is precisely because of this that Sunan Jiri pleaded with Mrs. Shi, hoping to use her power to intercede with Daming. As long as Daming does not implement a cruel policy of massacre in Java, then these Muslim religious leaders are willing to secretly take refuge in Daming. Help Ming win control of Java.

The arrival of Sunan Jili and Mrs. Shi, to Qu Lie, was like being offered a pillow when he was dozing off. He was worrying about how to take down Sura Port as completely as possible without taking his life. This was originally a very contradictory issue, but if there were Sunan Jili and Mrs. Shi cooperating in Sura Port, it might not be difficult to take Sura Port easily.

Thinking of this, Qu Lie also warmly entertained Mrs. Shi and Sunan Jili. In fact, although Mrs. Shi came here on behalf of the Han people from Java, in fact, as long as they are Han people, even if the Ming army breaks through They will not be in danger after leaving Surat Port. After all, Da Ming now needs a large number of people in Nanyang. As long as they are Han people and are willing to submit to the rule of Da Ming, Da Ming will reincorporate them into household registration and become the people of Da Ming.

In contrast, the upper-class Muslims represented by Sunan Giri are completely different. These upper-class Muslims are either the imams of various dioceses, or some big Muslim businessmen, or both. At the same time, he is also the richest person among the Muslims, so if Daming really defeated the Danmu Kingdom, he must be the first group of people to be liquidated by the army. There is no other purpose, it is because they have money, and the army can profit from them If there is enough oil and water, otherwise relying on the little salary given by the imperial court, I am afraid that the whole navy will starve to death long ago.

Knowing this, Sunan Jili begged his adoptive mother to help him build a bridge with this 100-year-old birthday star, so that he could meet Qu Lie in advance, and Sunan Jiri was also eager They wanted to get the promise of Qu Lie, the Ming general, so they were very anxious. They said many times that they were not only willing to serve as internal support, but also willing to pay part of their property, as long as the Ming army promised to protect their property and personal safety in the future.

Qu Lie naturally couldn't ask for the internal responses from Sunan Jili, but he could also see that these people were eager to ask for him, so he naturally had to be careful, and even deliberately left Mrs. Shi and the two on the boat. After two days, I told them that I needed to think about it, but after waiting four or five days, Qu Lie finally told the other party that I could agree to their request, but Sunan Jiri and the others had to follow his command and follow his plan Launch an explosion in Sula Harbor to welcome the arrival of the Ming Fleet.

Sunan Jiri naturally agreed to Qu Lie's request. After all, Danmu Kingdom is not Daming. In addition to the king's army, they also have a considerable number of guards. These guards are integrated. A not weak army is also the capital for them to be on an equal footing with the king.

In the summer of the tenth year of Zhengde, a rebellion suddenly broke out in Sula City, the capital of the Danmu Kingdom. The Muslim imam led by Sunan Jiri led a religious army to raid the port. In the port of Sula, the religious army of Sunan Jiri and Sunan Jiri controlled the port of Sula port.

Sultan Raden Pata of the Danmu Kingdom was extremely furious about the sudden rebellion of Muslim patriarchs like Sunan Giri, but there was nothing he could do about it. He is equal, and the kingdom's laws have no binding force on them, and Raden Pata also knows that those superficially benevolent and moral patriarchs are a group of selfish ghosts behind their backs. In order to protect their own status and wealth, these people He can do anything, and it is not difficult to betray the king himself, but he hates himself for being too careless before.

The most important thing in Sula City is the port. Now that it was occupied by the Ming fleet and the religious army, the entire Sula City was paralyzed. Not only the goods in the port could not be transported out, but also the materials needed in the city could not be transported in. Although it is possible to transport some goods, it is not as convenient as sea transport after all, and Su La City consumes a huge amount of materials every day. The less developed land transport alone cannot meet the needs of the entire city.

In fact, Qu Lie didn't trust people like Sunan Jili at the beginning. After all, soldiers never tire of deceit. If this is a trap set by Danmu Kingdom, then they will be in danger. That's why he let Sunan Jili lead people Launched a riot, and then only occupied the port, and Da Ming's navy still stayed on board. In this way, no matter whether this is a trap of the Danmu Kingdom, he can remain invincible. After all, as long as he is on the sea, no one is their opponent. (to be continued..)
