The Revolt of the Three Feudatories: All-in at the start in Beijing

This place is where two rivers meet, forming a small plain. At this time, it had no name, and only about three hundred natives were mining iron ore here.

However, he became extremely famous in later generations.

Because it's called Kuala Lumpur.

The Johor general chose to assemble 50,000 troops here because of the wide terrain and the surrounding hills and dense forests, which would allow them to escape if they couldn't win.

Of these 50,000 troops, the vanguard consisted of 10,000 elite soldiers clad in iron armor, including chainmail and cloth-clad iron armor, and more than 50 elephants were positioned in the middle.

This was all the strength they had.

Over the past month, Yin Huasheng divided a guard into ten small teams, using the advantages of muskets and shield carts to continuously wipe out the tribes of the Johor Sultanate.

Due to its superior organizational structure, the Johor Sultanate's army of one or two thousand men collapsed almost immediately, severely weakening the country in a short period of time.

Left with no other option, the Sultan of Johor first yielded to the surrounding forces and persuaded them to launch an attack.

Those smaller factions also realized that the Han army was different from the Dutch; they came with the aim of annihilating them, making them far more terrifying than the Dutch, who were few in number and only capable of trading.

"Step forward!"

Yin Huasheng didn't care about any of that and ordered his first officer to draw his flintlock pistol and pull the trigger towards the sky.

boom! ! !

At the command of the gunfire, three thousand musketeers, armed with muskets, formed five ranks of six hundred men each.

Meanwhile, the Johor general quickly dispatched elephant troops.

Fifty war elephants, lined up in two rows, charged toward the Han army's formation with earth-shaking force.

The indigenous chieftains, who had never fought a war, were delighted to see this, for in their minds, war elephants represented invincibility.

Just as Johor's war elephants crushed them, they now expect the war elephants to break through the Han army and swarm forward.

But what happened next left them speechless.

The once majestic war elephants collapsed as if struck by lightning after a loud bang.

However, most war elephants were shot in the thigh or trunk, and the first result was amputation.

Meanwhile, in front of the Han army's formation, thirty 500-pound cannons were gurgling and emitting smoke.

Of the fifty war elephants, more than thirty were shot down by cannons in an instant, and the rest turned tail and ran away, completely out of the control of the elephant corps.

Seeing this, the Johor general had no choice but to order his entire army to charge.

Thus, the 50,000-strong army swept across the mountains and plains towards the Han army's position on the river, running and howling like wild monkeys in the mountains.

Faced with the charge of 50,000 men, the musketeers did not panic. Instead, they spread out in an orderly manner, placing 300 shield wagons at the forefront.

Then came a thousand heavily armored infantrymen, each wielding a spear nearly five meters long, positioned behind them with the spearheads extended. This dense array of defensive equipment dazzled the natives.

When the natives were a hundred paces away, the Han army's musketeers began firing, firing lead bullets one after another, accompanied by cannonballs, and many natives fell on the way of the charge.

When these indigenous people finally managed to make contact with the Han army after enduring the eighth round of firing, with two or three thousand dead, their thick, large shields once again became their nightmare.

The heavily armored spearmen thrust their spears from behind their shields, while the musketeers behind them simply fired.

When the eleventh round of firing was reached, these united elite savages could no longer withstand the casualties and began to retreat frantically.

"Brothers, it's our turn."

"Charge with me!"

A cavalry commander who had been bringing up the rear, upon seeing the command flag wave, immediately led his cavalry in a charge.

The Johor general's plan was good; the terrain in the middle was open, allowing them to fight or retreat at will. But Yin Huasheng also liked this place because they had cavalry.

For the past month, the troops have not used cavalry at all, mainly because they are in dense forests where both Mongolian and Ili horses are prone to disease and death.

This time, I finally got what I wanted.

A thousand cavalrymen clad in cloth-covered iron armor may not sound like many, but in reality, they were an overwhelming force.

These natives, who had never seen cavalry before, were so frightened that their legs went weak, and the Han cavalry easily reaped their heads.

The battle ended quickly, much as the Johor general had predicted. They fled into the dense forest, and the Han army dared not pursue them.

However, Yin Huasheng had already achieved his goal.

That is to break up these indigenous people.

Next, small units can be sent into the dense forest to capture slaves for use in clearing land along the coast.

This is a long-term project, and results won't be seen for several years. This is also the last thing those European colonists wanted to do.

But the Han Dynasty was willing.

After all, their goal was to rule this place.

While Yin Huasheng's side was defeating the Johor coalition forces, Xu Chuang's side had already captured the capital of the Aceh Sultanate and personally executed the Sultan.

Unlike Johor, the Sultanate of Aceh had no external enemies, so its capital was located on the coast, which later became the city of Banda Aceh.

After the navy defeated its dozens of small boats, the capital was trapped and had nowhere to escape.

The fact that the capital could be besieged in this way is inextricably linked to Olaf, the son of Metsuiko.

Because he persuaded the two thousand indigenous soldiers attached to the Dutch to surrender to the Han Dynasty, Xu Chuang was able to besiege the city so easily with an army of tens of thousands.

However, Xu Chuang still harbored resentment towards these indigenous people, after all, these creatures were cannibals.

So when they returned to Malacca two weeks later, they immediately disarmed these people and separated them to be sent to cut timber.

He then joined forces with Yin Huasheng and Metsuike to write a military report to Liu Mu, reporting the situation on the ground, before continuing to lead the army south.

Target Batavia!

As the year drew to a close, Beijing was once again covered in heavy snow, a vast expanse of white.

From outside the city, only the red flag with a black dragon and the bright red lanterns hanging on the city gate tower add color to the city.

Inside the city, however, it was incredibly lively.

The snow had already been piled up by the people.

On the huge stage outside Zhengyang Gate, a man dressed in Han army uniform was holding a small leather whip and cracked it on a dark-faced man.

"Audacious savage in the side story, daring to eat people?"

"Where are you?! Drag him away and let him plant sugarcane!"

As the man in military uniform sang, two men in Han army uniforms stepped forward, helped the black-faced man up, and then chopped off his head, which rolled to the ground with a thud.

"Good, well done!"

The people below were thrilled and stood up to cheer, wishing they could personally go and chop.

Some wealthy businessmen, dressed in fur coats, were the first to throw silver coins onto the stage and shout.

"One more!"

Sitting in the west wing of the Zhuangyuan Tower, Liu Mu shook his head as he watched. This was all an act, of course; the human head was just a trick by the actors, but it still fascinated the people.

At that time, Peking Opera did not yet exist; the most popular operas were Kunqu Opera and some local operas, such as Huagu Opera and Guanzhong Opera.

This adaptation is nothing more than a story about cannibalism by indigenous people in Southeast Asia, and our Han soldiers avenging the people.
