Chapter 4 Since Malacca, it is all the territory of Ming Dynasty

Lu Li has no intention of fully occupying Wa and Goryeo.

The population of these two places is too large, and it is too difficult to manage them after they are occupied by force.

In fact, Koryo, Wa, and Ryukyu are all Ming vassal states.As long as the garrison is maintained militarily, it is enough to sweep Japan, Koryo and Ryukyu economically and culturally.

Military conquest is only one of the ways of conquest, there are also economic and cultural conquests!

After reading these industrial and commercial reports, Lu Li focused on military construction.

It has been a year and a half since Lu Li took over as Governor of Southern Zhili.

Since this period of time, the 42 guards in Southern Zhili have completed their recruitment and military training, and Lu Li already has a new army of 21 people under his command.

In addition, Lu Li has [-] destroyers and [-] transport ships under his command.

This is a force powerful enough to sweep the world.

It's just... most of the people in this army are still idle and have nothing to do.

Jeju Island Base, Hokkaido Base, Ryukyu Base, Bay Island Base, Qiongzhou Base, Cam Ranh Bay Base, Da Nang Base, and Champa Base, these eight bases each have 1 people stationed.

The [-] army was arranged to go out, and the [-] navy moved with the ship.Except for these people, there are still [-] troops left with nothing to do.

They can't be so idle, they must be moved.

Next, Lu Li started to plan for the next step.

Luzon, Medan, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Java, until Australia.

The [-] troops will attack in an all-round way, and let's talk about occupying all these places.

On the islands of Oceania in this era, there are basically only a few indigenous peoples, and the level of civilization is probably equal to that of a slave society or a primitive society.

The [-]-strong army is fully deployed, and basically the main task is not to fight, but to engage in base construction.

The 10,000+ captives who were disarmed in the three places of Cochin can just be used as construction laborers. Under the command of the army, they are working hard to build various port bases.

As long as the base is built, with the rich products of the South Sea islands, as long as a transport ship sends a batch of precious wood such as sandalwood, golden nanmu, agarwood, spices such as pepper and cardamom, as well as gold, silver, copper ore and pearls and gems back, the Ming Dynasty The merchants will rush over like crazy.

Then... Nanyang's rich resources will make these people's eyes turn purple.In less than a year, the Nanyang Islands will be full of Ming people who want to make a fortune.

Therefore, Lu Li immediately ordered to mobilize the army and prepare for the next move.

……

When Lu Li was actively preparing to sweep the Nanyang Islands, several missions arrived at Cam Ranh Bay to visit Lu Li.

Four missions from Burma, Siam, Cambodia, and Laos, carrying dozens of carriages of belongings, rushed to Cam Ranh Bay to meet Lu Li, Duke of Yue.

All kinds of gold, silver, pearls and jade, rhino horn and ivory, coral and giant clam, gemstones and emeralds were brought in by carloads, and even dozens of beauties with exotic styles were sent to Lu Li.

The gift was naturally accepted without hesitation.

Lu Li received the delegations from various parties at the Jin Ran Bay mansion.Of course, Lu Li was very clear about their reason for coming.

What's more, seeing Lu Li beat Cochin to the ground, he was so frightened that he trembled, so he hurried over to please him.

Siam and other countries on the Indochina Peninsula also arrived in Beijing with the fleet when Zheng He sailed to the West. It is a vassal state of Ming Dynasty.

It's just... as the Da Ming Armada no longer goes to sea, these overseas feudal states have long since ignored the distant Ming.

The tribute had stopped a long time ago, and the memorial table was never played again, as if nothing had happened.

However...after a lapse of a hundred years, the Great Tomorrow Soldier is here again!

Today's Daming is stronger than it was back then.Strong ships and sharp guns are irresistible.The Three Kingdoms of Jiaozhi were flattened in an instant, and hundreds of thousands of troops were annihilated in ashes.

This frightened the four countries of Siam and Burma!

They didn't dare to use the emperor's honorary title anymore, and they didn't dare to wear the emperor's clothes anymore. They looked through the records of the year and found out the golden seal bestowed by the Ming Dynasty that Meng Chen didn't know about for many years. Lu Li showed his affection, showing his loyalty to Daming.

As for the four kingdoms of Siam, Lu Li had no intention of sending troops to attack them.

The talks between the two sides have reached a consensus that the Daming Kingdom is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it is necessary to hang the Sun and Moon Flag of the Great Ming in every city and honor the Son of Ming Dynasty.

In addition, the four countries of Siam have opened ports, and Ming warships and merchant ships can call at any port in the four countries at any time, which is also a must.

In addition, Ming merchants can go to the territory of the four countries to do business at will, which is also necessary.

It is also necessary to station a troop in the territory of the Four Kingdoms to protect the feudal kingdom from Japanese pirates and protect the personal and property safety of Ming merchants in the feudal kingdom.

After these agreements were reached, Lu Li dispatched 5000 troops to each of the four countries, stationed at coastal ports, and began to build small bases at the next level.

Immediately, the vassal kings of the four kingdoms of Siam sent a larger mission to send tribute to the Emperor of Heaven, and took a boatload of tributes to Yanjing to meet the Emperor.

The military operations in the Indochina Peninsula are almost over here, and it is Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou's business to completely bring them under the jurisdiction of Ming Dynasty.

……

In June of the 42rd year of Jiajing.

Lu Li launched a new military operation.

In addition to the North Sea Fleet, East Sea Fleet, and South Sea Fleet that were used to maintain the security of the sea, Lu Li gathered seventy destroyers and went south... to continue to fight Japanese pirates.

In fact, the Japanese pirates had already run away.

Ever since Lu Li started his operations in the Indochina Peninsula, the Japanese pirates were forced by Lu Li's threat, they didn't dare to stay at all, and fled towards Malacca one after another.

Islands such as Luzon, Medan, and Kalimantan have long since lost the shadow of Japanese pirates.

In the name of quelling the Japanese invasion, Lu Li attacked with a large army, sending 20 troops and [-] "workers" to Luzon, Medan, and Kalimantan.

The Manila Port Base in Luzon, the Medan Port Base, and the Wenlai Port Base in Kalimantan started quickly, kicking off the construction in full swing.

In this day and age, these places are still wild places.

Even the port of Manila, where the Grape Ducks were stationed in Luzon, was snatched by the Japanese pirates that Lu Li drove over.

When Lu Li went south again, the pirates raided Manila for supplies and fled in the direction of Malacca.

In this way, when Lu Li sent his army to the Manila port, there was only an empty port in front of him, with no one in sight.

It is impossible to fight a war, only to engage in construction.

The smug army officers and soldiers who came to make contributions were full of depression.

You said to fight those natives who are still using stones and sticks?forget it!Shoot the sky, and they kneel down.

The operation of opening up territories in the Nanyang Islands went as smoothly as possible.

Except that it rained a little harder, there were more mosquitoes, and it was a little tiring to move bricks, but there was nothing wrong with it.

Lu Li had already considered malaria a long time ago.

As a clinical medical expert, using Artemisia annua to treat malaria is a basic operation.Rough extraction of artemisinin is actually not difficult, and the existing conditions are completely achievable.

After pouring a bottle of bright green medicine with an inexplicable taste, the malaria will be cured soon.

Lu Li's progress here is going smoothly.

However... the Japanese pirates who fled to Malacca brought disasters to the Spanish ducks and grape ducks stationed in Malacca.

When the Japanese pirates marched into Malacca mightily, the Spanish ducks were taken aback.

Fuck!Which country's fleet is this?

The Spanish duck governor hurriedly summoned the fleet, ready to fight to the death.

Then... the Spanish Duckman was blown away.

During this period, Spanish ducks and grape ducks were weak in the Far East.A fleet of dozens of armed merchant ships is nothing but scum in front of the huge fleet of Japanese pirates.

When the Japanese pirates entered the Malacca Governor's Mansion, the Spanish duck governor handed over his sword to Wang Zhi, the leader of the Japanese pirates.

"Okay, you win."

The governor of the Spanish duck handed over his sword and said straightly to Wang: "Are you from the Ming Dynasty? The Ming fleet is indeed powerful. Your strength is worthy of respect. It is not a shame to surrender to a powerful opponent. I am a nobleman of the Spanish duck. I hope you can give me treatment in line with my status."

Wang Zhi, who has been at sea for many years, has also dealt with Spanish ducks and grape ducks many times, so he can understand Spanish naturally.

It's just... these words made the corners of Wang Zhi's eyes twitch wildly.

"You got the wrong person!"

Wang Zhi stretched out his hand to take the sword from Governor Spanish Duck, "We are not the Ming Fleet. On the contrary, we are pirates who were chased away by the Ming Fleet."

"Pirates? You are actually pirates?"

The governor of the Spanish Duck stared wide-eyed, his face full of horror: "My God! Is Da Ming so powerful? Even the pirates chased by the Da Ming fleet are so powerful?"

"Da Ming...is stronger than you imagined!"

Thinking of Lu Li's Armada, Wang Zhi shuddered all over.Under the bombardment of the destroyer's artillery, everything will be blown to pieces for you.

"I don't have to kill you!"

Wang Zhi raised his eyes and stared at the Governor of Spanish Duck with a stern expression on his face, "But you have to lead me the way."

"Lead the way? Where do you want to go?" Governor Spanish Duck looked puzzled.

"The farther the better! The farther away from Daming the better!"

Wang Zhi no longer wants to see the destroyer with black smoke, it is a nightmare.

"I understand!"

The Governor of Spanish Duck smiled, "I know a place, the New World, the Caribbean Sea, which is a paradise for pirates. It is far, far away from Daming, and it fully meets your requirements."

"As you wish!"

The Governor of Spanish Duck bowed slightly, with a smile on his face.

It is impossible to be the governor of Malacca, but... With such a huge pirate fleet, if you can control it, it is easy to be a governor in the New World!

As for being a pirate, it doesn't matter at all.In today's sea, which country's fleet is not a pirate?

Therefore, under the personal leadership of the Spanish governor, the Japanese pirates seized countless supplies in Malacca.

There are mountains of grain piled up in the warehouse, gold, silver and jewelry piled up in the warehouse, as well as countless guns, artillery and ammunition.

"Moving supplies, hurry up and load the ship! Hurry up! Huating Hou's fleet will catch up at any moment! Hurry up!"

Wang Zhi didn't know that Lu Li was already the Duke of Yue, and he was still calling Lu Li as Marquis of Huating.

The deterrent power of this name is great.

The Japanese pirates remembered the terrible artillery fire, and moved the supplies a little faster.

Two hours later, the guns and ammunition had been loaded, and the food and supplies were half loaded. At this time... the sentry on the watchtower yelled in panic!

"They're coming! Marquis Huating's fleet is here!"

This scream made the Japanese pirates who were busy carrying supplies tremble with fear, and their faces turned pale.

"Board immediately! Quick!"

Wang Zhi let out a loud roar, ignoring the unfinished supplies, rushed into the pier and boarded the battleship.

While the governor of the Spanish duck was stunned, the Japanese pirates who were extremely fierce just now fled in panic and panic.

What's happening here?

Why is a huge fleet of hundreds of warships frightened like this?

Daming's naval fleet, is it really that powerful?

The Japanese pirates boarded the ship in a panic, set sail in a hurry, and fled towards the Indian Ocean.

The governor of the Spanish duck stood at the stern and looked up into the distance, only to see black columns of smoke rising from the sea in the distance.

Smoky fleet?What's happening here?

Full of doubts in his heart, the governor of the Spanish duck quickly took out a monocular, opened it, and raised it to look into the distance.

Through the telescope, the Spanish duck governor saw the strange fleet.

The fleet is small, only a few dozen ships.It's just... none of these ships have masts or sails.

A column of black smoke rose from the sky above each ship, flying towards Malacca.

"My God! What kind of ship is this?"

The Governor of Spanish Duck widened his eyes, and let out an unbelievable exclamation: "There is no sail, but it can run so fast, and there is black smoke all the way. Is this a devil's ship?"
