When Sun Kewang received the news, he was a little moved but also a little hesitant.
He is already in his forties, has given birth to a lot of sons, and owns a lot of land in the mountainous areas of Taiwan. Although he is a little poor, he is the eldest son here, and he does not want to worry about it even when he is old.
Toss again.2
But that is the creation of a new territory and the founding of a country. Once successful, he will be a founding hero, no better than being a village chief in Taiwan?
After pondering over it for a month, after the Lantern Festival, Sun Kewang set off with his second son.
After waiting for a while in Guangzhou, Jin King Zhao Kuangbiao arrived, and three hundred retired cavalrymen also arrived. Although they were retired cavalrymen, the horses came from Nanjing Racecourse, and they were all selected from the best.
It's a magnificent horse. Moreover, it's fully armored and the armor is scary.
There are also a number of doctors, craftsmen, good doctors and other personnel, as well as a few low-level officials who volunteered to go to sea.
As for Zhao Kuangbiao's classmates, there were six of them, including Wang Chongxi, who was also a prostitute.
The three dilapidated warships are Zhao Kuangbiao's naval team. Most of the sailors, sailors, and handymen are Chamin recruited from the coast.
When everyone arrived in Quang Nam Province, a thousand Datong troops boarded the ship and were escorted by five naval warships. When they arrived at Palembang, they were joined by two more warships and accompanied by many merchant ships. These merchant ships
It was loaded with grain and spices. The grain was destined for Jin Wang Zhao Kuang, and the spices were shipped to Ceylon to be sold to the Dutch.
When passing through Malacca and Chittagong, they were joined by two more warships each and sailed to Tanjore.
When the ship sailed to Mesulibadam, the Dutch discovered them. Finally, near the port of Pulicat, the Dutch fleet came to intercept them, but did not choose to go to war because the Dutch
The fleet lacked certainty of victory. Zhao Kuang had +- battleships as escort, as well as three old-fashioned battleships given to him by the emperor, and more than a dozen armed merchant ships accompanying the army for trade. 3
During the negotiations between the two sides, Zhao Kuangbiao did not say where he was going. He only said that the Dutch fleet could follow him, and he would know what the Chinese army wanted to do by then.
When passing by the capital of Jinji Kingdom, Zhao Kuangbiao docked for supplies and sent several envoys into the city to have friendly exchanges with King Jinji.
A few years ago, an envoy fleet passed by here. King Jinji was very limited and sent several female slaves to the Chinese envoy.
This country will be Zhao Kuangbiao's neighbor in the future. We can establish good relations first. Because even if it wants to expand, it will not be to attack the Jinji country, but to bully the weaker Madu.
After taking Madurai, Rai. went to attack Mysore, which was a Hindu country ruled by a sultan. No one would come to help in the attack.
King Jinji did not ask where they were going, thinking they were visiting Europe again.
When he heard that the Chinese prince had arrived, King Jinji was very happy and warmly invited the prince to a banquet. At the end of the banquet, he also gave Zhao Kuangbiao two female slaves. 1
The Dutch fleet followed them all the way to Tanjore, and then the commander was stunned.
“Boom boom boom!
Not only did the Chinese warships fire at the city wall, but the accompanying armed merchant ships also fired their shells into the city (China's armed merchant ships can be equipped with up to six artillery pieces, and
The caliber of artillery is also limited). This port city was obviously unprepared. When they discovered the arrival of the Chinese fleet, they thought they could do business and opened the port to collect the port tax.
King Ashwin, who was as fat as a pig, was having fun in the palace when he suddenly heard the roar of cannons. He started to fight in panic and asked: 'Are the Dutch coming?"
Soon, a minister came to say: "Your Majesty, it is China and the Netherlands who are jointly calling!" -
The Dutch fleet watching the battle was mistaken for an accomplice of the Chinese fleet.
"Run!" Ashwin's movements were so flexible that he ran like a ball of meat.
The minister quickly shouted: "Your Majesty, the army should be summoned to defend the city. I have gathered a group of soldiers, but many nobles are fleeing, and the soldiers are also fleeing. At this time, we need to
I want you to comfort me!"
“The Netherlands and China,
It's hard to deal with one person, let alone two together. We can't defend the city," Ashwin shouted anxiously, "Where is my horse? Get my horse quickly.
Bring it.
This king was a complete loser. Historically, he was destroyed by more than a thousand exiled remnants. Those defeated remnants did not even have heavy firearms, so they captured the city and almost lost their lives.
There was decent resistance.
As Sun Kewang led 300 cavalry ashore, he saw the city gates were wide open and countless soldiers and people were fleeing.
The siege has just begun and the siege is already over?
"Take off the heavy armor and charge with me!" Sun Kewang made a prompt decision and ordered the cavalry to take off the heavy armor so as to increase mobility.
In such a situation, heavy cavalry is useless, and light cavalry is more effective.
After a while, the infantry was already running forward, and Sun Kewang led the cavalry to catch up quickly.
Three hundred cavalry rushed to the nearest city gate, killing those in the way. But the city gate was in chaos and had long been blocked by a crazy crowd. Sun Kewang led the cavalry around the city, even
There was traffic jam at both city gates -
Until the third city gate, there were no refugees there, but there was actually an army.
However, the princes and ministers wanted to escape but were reluctant to part with their belongings, so they asked private soldiers to guard the city gates, kill all the people who dared to approach, and then transport carts of belongings out.
lose.
Seeing Sun Kewang coming with his troops to fight, the slaves and infantrymen there dispersed one by one.
Upon seeing this, the princes and ministers fled with their personal cavalry, not even taking care of their wives, children, and children behind them.
Sun Kewang chased those cavalrymen. The guy hadn't forgotten his riding skills, and his arrow hit the enemy cavalry in front. I don't know if he hit it by luck.
Even after chasing for several miles, the enemy's cavalry did not resist and only galloped wildly.
There were only a hundred or so of these fleeing noble cavalry. They scattered in various directions and fled. Sun Kewang only managed to kill a few dozen of them, and then he turned around and headed towards the west of the city.
King Ashwin was blocked by the fleeing people, and he let the palace guards kill them indiscriminately, and finally rushed out from the city gate.
At this time, a thousand Datong infantrymen had already entered the city. Under the leadership of merchants who had been to the city, they headed straight for the palace. When they reached the door, the king had already run away, and only a few people were left to take advantage of the chaos.
The palace servants of the West.
Sun Kewang was intercepting and killing the fleeing nobles in the west of the city, when he suddenly saw an army approaching.
They were the king's palace guards, and they were pulling more than twenty carts of goods.
When King Ashwin saw the Chinese cavalry, he was immediately frightened and shouted: "Hold the enemy."
Then, he took more than a dozen palace knights and ran away on horseback. The rest of the palace infantry stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to run away or chase.
King, or risk his life to stop the enemy.
Sun Kewang led his troops to kill him. All the palace infantrymen knelt down and begged for mercy.
Seeing this situation, Sun Kewang was too lazy to pay attention and led his troops to chase the king. After they left, the palace infantry stood up one after another and swarmed to grab the king's treasure, then took off their armor and planned to flee.
Suddenly, Sun Kewang came back with twenty horses. Those guys stopped running away and took the initiative to put the treasure back into the carriage.
Although the king's mount is a superb horse, it is too fat. In terms of weight alone, it is considered a heavy cavalry. Sun Kewang soon caught up with the palace knights.
Seeing this, they all ran away, leaving the heavy cavalry and the king struggling there.
Sun Kewang didn't know that this was the king, but he must be an important figure in this situation, so he was immediately captured alive.
"Is it so easy to expand territory?" Zhao Kuangbiao stood at the gate of the palace, always feeling that he was dreaming. The commander-in-chief of the Dutch fleet, who was fighting outside the port, also put down his telescope at this moment and murmured to himself: "Tanjore is so easy
Beat it down?"
The Netherlands also has a colonial port in Tanjore, which was snatched from Portugal, and it is the port of Nagapattam that the Portuguese value most. When I married the princess far away, other ports
Everyone is willing to dowry, but this port refuses to hand over.
After seizing the Portuguese port, the Netherlands did not expand further, but negotiated with the King of Tanjore to force him to hand over the country's commercial privileges.
Knowing the Chinese target, the Dutch fleet immediately left and ran to report the situation to the governor.
A few days later, the Dutch governor sent an envoy to negotiate as the protector of Tanjore.
Zhao Kuangbiao was not yet on a stable footing and was unwilling to provoke the Netherlands. The two sides quickly reached an agreement:
First, the commercial privileges of the Dutch in Tanjore should not be revoked.
Second, Chinese businessmen have the same privileges as the Dutch.
Third, Nagapatam Port is still ruled by the Netherlands.
Wang Chongxi is now Zhao Kuangbiao's adviser: "Your Highness, we will have a war with the Netherlands sooner or later, and we will have to ask China to send troops to help."
"I know that now we must occupy the entire Tanjore area." Zhao Kuangbiao said.
Wang Chongxi said: "The richest land along the river must be controlled in our hands and given to officials and soldiers. All the landowners there will be killed, and the people will give the land to those who receive the reward.
Become a tenant. As for places farther away, send people to convey orders to the nobles and landowners. uuReading www.uukanshu.com As long as they are loyal to the new king, everything can continue as before.
Zhao Kuangbiao nodded: "I think so too. Once the city is stable, we will send troops to occupy the fertile land along the river.
These two people were kind enough. In another time and space, more than a thousand remnants of the Green Sect came to kill, but they used the land that was harvested twice a year, and even the landlords and farmers as slaves. And in this world
They were slaves for generations until the British came.
Island of Ceylon.
The Dutch Governor-General Joan Matsolko, who had successfully negotiated, was not happy at all.
Tanjore is the closest state to Ceylon. Once the Chinese immigrate here easily, they can cross the sea and directly attack the Governor's Palace. This makes Governor Qiao An feel like a stick in his throat.
But he didn't dare to start a war. Even if he could defeat the Chinese navy, with the poor infantry of the Netherlands, could he take down the tall and strong city of Tanjore? Chinese soldiers are not cowards.
Weak Tamil soldiers.
A few days later, Zhao Kuangbiao sent a diplomatic document, officially informing the Governor of the Netherlands: The country of Tanjore will be renamed the country of Jin from now on, and the king will be His Highness the King of Jin of China. The capital is Tanjore.
Er (Thanjavur) city was renamed Taiwu city.
Governor Joan was very speechless. If he had known that Tanjore could be easily captured, he would have sent troops to capture it long ago.
But who could have expected it?
The city wall is tall and strong. There are more than 2,000 defenders in the city, as well as muskets and artillery. Tens of thousands of people can be recruited for defense at any time. The king actually abandoned the city and ran away.
The governor did not expect this, nor did Zhao Han who was far away in Nanjing. He thought he would experience a fierce battle.
The Indian region has an excellent matching mechanism, but its combat power becomes weaker as you go south.
