Li Tongkuan finally decided to attack. If Nalativa City was destroyed, his Peking University Nian City would be in danger.

He had the most people, but now there are only more than 2,000 people left. He decided to take one thousand people along the coastal road to rescue Lu Asheng.

Nine out of ten things in the world are not going well.

Li Tongkuan took three hundred cavalry and more than six hundred infantry soldiers had just walked halfway, and someone chased him from behind.

"The boss!"

Li Tongkuan thought it was not good, so he quickly grabbed the man's collar, "Is it..."

The man was covered in sweat, and even the red tape strangled on his forehead was soaked. After hearing Li Tongkuan's words, he nodded immediately, "There were a large number of ships coming to the Peking University Nian Wharf. At that time, our navy was all in the city, and they were defeated by them at once. Now they have occupied the wharf!"

At this moment, the leader of the Hong Gang in Guangdong, who used to have thousands of disciples, has calmed down.

"Did you see clearly? Who are they?"

"The masters are all sloops. At first glance, they are all Bugis ships. The people on the ship are also Bugis people. They also have muskets and cannons in their hands, and there are thousands of people who surrounded Peking University Nian City!"

Li Tongkuan took a breath of air conditioning, and his big hand holding the reins couldn't help but tremble.

"A good thief, he actually knows how to attack the world. To put it this way, these sultan countries are obviously colluding with each other. Nakhon and Songkhla House will obviously not be easy!"

He couldn't help but regret it, "If I had known this, it would have been better to completely surrender to the Truqins. With their power, it would be easy to deal with these sultan countries. Now, we have enough troops in our hands and we are short of our ability to ignore each other, what should we do?"

After a while, he said, "Peking Da Nian City is a stone city, which is not so easy to be compromised. I will continue to go to Nalativa Mansion and defeat the enemies there first. Don't go back. I will give you a few more people, run to the coast, grab a ship, and then hurry to Terengganu, where there is a Truqin store."

"Tell them what's going on here and let them come to rescue"

The man nodded first, then asked: "The master, the Truqins have only one thousand soldiers stationed in Singapore, even if they all come, it will be useless."

Li Tongkuan whipped him with a horse whip, "You idiot, the three words 'Truqin' are famous in the current Nanyang area. As long as they can appear, it will be a huge deterrent to these natives. As long as we relieve the danger of being surrounded by several of our cities, we will be able to talk about what will happen next."

The man nodded and quickly ran to the beach with a few people.

....

Ten days later, Singapore.

Timur just returned from his homeland.

This time, he did not come from the Strait of Malacca, but bypassed the waters on the west side of Sumatra, in order not to disturb the natives and Dutch people here.

This is because he brought an Assam brigade from Bangladesh and Garcia's newly formed East India fleet.

Assam people stayed in the hot and humid Jiamuna River basin for many years and have been alive for thousands of years. They have long had antibodies to deal with infectious diseases such as malaria due to mosquito bites. It is more appropriate to put them in the Nanyang Islands.

Of course, according to the latest regulations of the empire, this army was still from the Bangladeshi company, and Timur just borrowed it temporarily. The food, grass and salary needed in the meantime need to be paid by the Far East Company.

The last time the Far East Army captured at least one million taels of silver, which made Timur dare to borrow troops from Toure.

Five years later, Singapore, with the painstaking management of the Truchens, has long been the largest and most solid fortress city in the entire Nanyang Islands.

It is about the same size as the Dutch-built city of Batavia, but due to the heavy use of concrete, the city's multi-story buildings are very common and can actually accommodate more people than Batavia.

There is a squadron and a regular army stationed here. Of course, if the surrounding sultans (including the sultans on the opposite Sumatra) come in full bloom, it will be enough for them to drink a pot, but the current three words "Truchen" are still very deterrent in the Nanyang Islands.

At least until now, no one dares to come and pick their tiger beards.

Singapore City after a heavy rain briefly cooled, but Timur, who had just returned from the distant city of Kreit (Tarizin), was still very upset.

According to Qitad's deployment, he will stay in Singapore for a year and a half in the future to see if there is any chance for Guangnan, Hexian Town, Siam, and the Malay Peninsula.

Not long after he sat down, he had not finished eating a piece of watermelon in his hand, and he received a message from Terengganu.

At this time, the intelligence officer in charge of Singapore was Wang Wu, the former subordinate of Hatu, who is reporting to him now.

After listening to Wang Wu's report, Timur put down the watermelon that had not yet eaten.

"So the four castles occupied by heaven and earth are still in your hands?"

"Yes, the Nalatiwa Mansion was the most dangerous, but Li Tongkuan was not afraid of life and death. He suddenly appeared under the city with a thousand people and attacked with three hundred cavalry to defeat the besieged army in one fell swoop. However, the besieged army was obviously prepared. They built camps outside Nalatiwa City, and Li Tongkuan broke up the people who were sieging the city"

"I can't do it if I want to completely rescue the situation"

"BeiDanian City is a stone city. Although the Bugis people are brave, they cannot take it down in a short time without heavy artillery."

"As for Songkhla and Nakhla, they used to be the territory of Siamese people. The Sultanate troops who came to attack were not serious and left after robbing the countryside."

"After such a riot, the loss of the congregation in the world was not great, but the Chinese farmers, merchants and craftsmen in the countryside were affected. According to Li Tongkuan and others' estimates, at least tens of thousands of people were killed."

Timur is a real Mongolian, so he naturally does not have the intention of looking at the Han people like Qitade, so he doesn't care about this.

"What about your opinion?"

"Your Highness, these sultan countries usually fight and kill each other, but now they suddenly unite. There must be problems here"

"Oh?"

"At present, the various sultan countries have equal strength, and no sultan with great prestige can call it up, but they did it in a short time, and only two forces in the Malay Peninsula can do it"

"One is the Bugis, but since their leaders and their direct troops were annihilated by our country, no such person has such appeal, because they were all under the banner of the deputy king of the Sultanate of Johor"

"Although I have appeared again now, they all appear as mercenaries, and obviously they don't have this appeal"

"So, there is only one possibility"

"Dutch?"

"Yes, this is consistent with their usual practice. This was the world of the Portuguese, and it took the Portuguese nearly a hundred years to get such a situation"

"After the Dutch arrived, they knew that their population was similar to that of the Portuguese, and it would definitely not work by relying on hard ones alone. So they were domineering among the various sultanates and eventually drove the Portuguese out"

"Also, the reason why the Ministry of Justice believes so is that many firearms appeared in the army of these Sultanate countries, and they were all flintlock guns. In the past, they only had some earth guns they built themselves, let alone those guns"

"In addition, Li Tongkuan's people have seen Westerners in the army of the sultanate countries. They obviously existed as instructors and even commanders of the sultanate countries."

"Are they not afraid of our revenge?"

"Your Highness, since our country rose in Nanyang, the Dutch have weakened their exploitation of local natives and used more gentle means, which has gained some of the hearts of everyone"

"There are at least tens of millions of natives across the sea. If the Dutch bewitched and organized, it will be a considerable force"

"Where is Hexian Town?"

"Now Zheng Xin's army has occupied Mo Tianci's previous territory. Mo Tianci ran to Jiading City. Zheng Xin did not go further. I believe he didn't want to make too many enemies"

(Jiading City, later generations of Ho Chi Minh City)

"In fact, the Guangnan people took it down not long after this place. There was a famous general named Ruan Youyi, who was a wealthy family in the country. His son was Ruan Youjing. He was sent by the king of Guangnan to Jiading to expand territory. Later generations were named as Marquis of Marquis of Shizhen"

"The one who guards Jiading City is Ruan Youjing's youngest son Ruan Youju, who is over thirty years old. He is also the general of Jiading Prefecture, with about 5,000 horses and stomping. Guangnan Kingdom made muskets and cannons by itself with the help of the Portuguese very early, and also mastered the manufacturing technology of flintlock rifles."

"Speaking of this, North and South Vietnam are the largest countries in the South Ocean Islands nowadays. Those who are truly powerful are unfortunately in turmoil in both countries. Zheng Zheng in the north has just quelled the internal uprising, and Guangnan in the south has also begun. Judging from its appearance, the movement is greater than that in North Vietnam."

"Otherwise, they would not stay in their own country, and they would definitely take Laos and Cambodia before Siam"

"Zheng Xin obviously knows this. His men only operate on the south bank of the Mekong River and do not go deep into the north."

"In the past, Songkhla Palace and Nakhla Palace were all Siamese territory. After learning that they were occupied by Chinese from the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Xin did not respond immediately, and it seemed that he had some ideas."

"Why is this?"

"At that time, the Burmese King Mengbo almost captured the entire Siam. After Zheng Xin rose, he recovered all his territory in a short time and captured Cambodia. Laos was even more in a state of chaos. His military strength was evident in the ability to command the army."

"He also has a fleet of up to 10,000 people, with hundreds of ships of all sizes. If he wants to recover Nakhon Khut and Songkhla, he can take a boat to cross the Gulf of Siam to the two palaces, but he just didn't do that."

"Why?"
