Chapter 407 From Malacca onwards, it is all the territory of Ming DynastyWa Kingdom and Goryeo, Lu Li has no plans to fully occupy it .
These two places are too populated, and it is too difficult to govern after they are occupied by martial power.
In fact, Goryeo, Japanese and Ryukyu are all vassal states of Ming Dynasty. It is enough as long as it maintains the garrison militarily, and swept over Japan, Korea and Ryukyu economically and culturally.
Military conquest is just one of the ways of conquest, as well as economic conquest and cultural conquest!
After reading these industrial and commercial reports, Lu Li turned his attention to military construction.
It has been one and a half years since Lu Li took over as Governor of Southern Zhili.
Since this time, the forty-two guards in southern Zhili have completed the recruitment and military training of soldiers, and Lu Li already has a new army of 210,000 people.
Apart from this, Lu Li also has a hundred destroyers and three hundred transport ships under his command.
This is a force capable of sweeping the world.
It's just that...the majority of the troops are now idle and doing nothing.
The Jeju Island Base, the Northern Sea Dao Foundation Land, the Ryukyu Base, the Bay Island Base, the Qiongzhou Base, the Cam Ranh Bay Base, the Da Nang Base, and the Chamcheng Base, these eight bases each have 10,000 people stationed.
A total of 80,000 troops were arranged to go out, and 30,000 navies moved with the ship. Apart from these people, there are still 100,000 troops left to do nothing.
You can't be so idle, you have to get them moving.
Next, Lu Li began to do the next step of action deployment.
Luzon, Medan, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Java, until Australia.
The 100,000-strong army will attack in an all-round way, and we will occupy all these places.
On the islands of Oceania in this era, there were basically only some indigenous peoples, and the degree of civilization was probably equal to the slave society or the primordial society.
The 100,000-strong army is fully deployed, basically not taking combat as the main task, but building bases.
The more than 200,000 prisoners disarmed in the three places of Cochin can 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 islands in the South China Sea, you only need to use a transport ship to send a batch of precious woods such as sandalwood, Gold Threaded Cedar, agarwood, spices such as pepper and cardamom, and gold, silver and copper mines Go back with the pearls and gems, and the merchants of the Ming Dynasty will rush over like crazy.
And then...the rich resources of Nanyang 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.
As a result, 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 delegations arrived at Cam Ranh Bay to visit Lu Li.
Myanmar, Siam, Cambodia, Laos, four embassies, carrying dozens of carriage belongings, rushed to Cam Ranh Bay to meet Lu Li, the Duke of Yue.
All kinds of gold, silver, pearls, jade, rhino horns, ivory, coral clam, gems and jade, etc. treasures were sent in carts, and even dozens of beauties with exotic flavors were sent to Lu Li .
The gift is naturally accepted without the slightest hesitation.
Lu Li received the various delegations at the Cam Ranh Mansion. For their purpose, Lu Li is naturally very clear.
Not just seeing Lu Li smashing Jiaozhi three places, scared to the point of shivering, hurry up and please.
Siam and other countries on the Indo-China Peninsula, as early as when Zheng He was on his voyage to the Western Ocean, also arrived in Beijing with fleet. Those who have been canonized are nominally the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty.
It's just... With the Daming Armada no longer going to sea, these overseas vassal states have long since ignored the distant Daming.
The tribute has long since stopped, and the playing table has never been presented again, as if nothing happened.
However...after a hundred years, the Great Tomorrow Soldiers are here again!
Today's Ming Dynasty is more powerful than it was in the past. Strong boats and sharp guns, irresistible. The Three Kingdoms of Jiaozhi were leveled in an instant, and hundreds of thousands of troops were flying ash annihilation.
This frightened the four countries of Siam and Burma!
I don't dare to use the emperor's honorary title anymore, and I don't dare to wear the emperor's clothes. They look through the records of that year and find out the Golden Seal that Mengchen didn't know for many years. , sent an envoy to come to Lu Li and show his loyalty to Da Ming.
For the Siamese four kingdoms, Lu Li had no idea of sending troops to attack.
The two sides reached a consensus in the talks that the Daming vassal state is the territory of Daming, and it is necessary to hang the flags of the sun and the moon in every city to honor the son of the big tomorrow.
In addition, Siamese Shikoku open ports, Daming warships and merchant ships can call at any port in Shikoku at any time, which is also a must.
Apart from this, Ming merchants can freely go to Shikoku to do business, which is also necessary.
It is also necessary to station a force in Shikoku to protect the vassal state from Japanese pirates, and to protect the personal and property safety of Ming merchants in the vassal state.
After these consensuses were reached, Lu Li sent a force of 5,000 troops to each of the four countries, stationed in the coastal ports, and began to build a small sub-level 1 base.
Immediately, the vassal kings of the Siamese four kingdoms sent a larger-scale embassy to pay tribute to the Son of Heaven.
The military operations on the Indochina Peninsula are almost over here, and it is up to Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou to completely bring them under the jurisdiction of Daming.
......
Jiajing forty-two years in June.
Lu Li launches a new military operation.
In addition to the Northern Sea Fleet, the Eastern Sea Fleet and the Southern Sea Fleet, which are used to maintain the security of the sea frontier, Lu Li gathered seventy destroyers, and the grandiose went south... to continue fighting Japanese pirates.
In fact, the Japanese pirates have long run away.
Since Lu Li launched his operations in the Indo-China Peninsula, the Japanese pirates, under the deterrence of Lu Li, did not dare to stay at all and fled towards Malacca.
Luzon, Medan, Kalimantan and other islands have long lost the shadow of Japanese pirates.
Lu Li, still in the name of pacifying the Japanese invasion, attacked with a large army, sending 60,000 troops and 200,000 "labourers" to Luzon, Medan and Kalimantan.
The Luzon Manila Port Base, Medan Port Base, and Kalimantan's Wenlai Port Base were launched quickly, and the construction was in full swing.
In this day and age, these places are still Barbarian Desolate Land.
Even the Port of Manila, the station of the Grape Ducks in Luzon, was seized by the Japanese pirates who were driven by Lu Li.
When Lu Li headed south again, the Japanese pirates looted Manila's supplies and hurriedly fled towards Malacca.
In this way, when Lu Li sent his army to Manila Port, there was only an empty port in front of him, not even half a silhouette.
It is impossible to fight a war, it's just a matter of construction.
The lieutenant generals and soldiers who came to make achievements and made their careers were full of depression.
You mean to hit the natives who are still using stones and sticks? just forget it! One shot into the sky, and they knelt.
The expansion of territory in the Nanyang Islands has gone as smoothly as possible.
Except for the heavy rain, the mosquitoes, and the tiring of moving bricks, there is nothing bad.
The problem of malaria, Lu Li has long thought about it.
As a clinical medical expert, using Artemisia annua to treat malaria is a basic operation. It is not difficult to roughly extract artemisinin, and it can be achieved under the existing conditions.
A bottle of green, inexplicable-tasting potion is poured into it, and malaria will soon be cured.
Lu Li's side is going well.
However...the Japanese pirates who fled to Malacca have brought disaster to the Spanish ducks and grape ducks stationed in Malacca.
The Spanish Ducks startled as the pirates grandiose drove into Malacca.
Fuck! Which country's fleet is this?
The Governor of Spain Duck hurriedly called up the fleet, ready to fight to the death.
And then... the Spanish ducks were blown up.
In this period, the Spanish duck and the grape duck were weak in the Far East. The fleet of dozens of armed merchant ships is a scum in front of the huge fleet of Japanese pirates.
When the Japanese pirates entered the Malacca Governor's Palace, the Governor of the Spanish Duck, Wang Zhi, the leader of the Japanese pirates, handed over his sword.
"Okay, you won."
The Governor of the Spanish duck handed over his saber and said to Wang Zhi, "Are you from the Ming kingdom? The Ming fleet is really strong. My strength is worthy of respect. It is not a shame to surrender to a powerful opponent. I am a Spanish duck noble. I hope you can give me treatment in line with my status."
Wang Zhi, who has been at sea for many years, I have also dealt with Spanish duck people and grape duck people many times, and naturally understand Spanish.
It's just...this remark made Wang Zhi's eyes twitch.
"You've got the wrong person!"
Wang Zhi stretched out his hand and took the sword of the Spanish duck governor, "We are not the Daming Fleet. On the contrary, we were driven by the Daming Fleet. Pirates fleeing everywhere."
"Pirates? You are actually pirates?"
The Governor of Spain Duck stared wide-eyed, his face full of horror: "My God! Daming! Is it so powerful? Even the pirates chased by the Daming fleet are so powerful?"
"Daming... is more powerful than you think!"
Thinking of Lu Li The invincible fleet, Wang Zhi shivered all over. Under the destroyer's artillery strikes, everything will blow you to pieces.
"I don't have to kill you!"
Wang Zhi raised his eyes and stared at the Spanish duck governor, his face cold and severe, "But, you have to lead me."
"Lead the way? Where do you want to go?" The Governor of Spain Duck looked puzzled.
"The farther away, the better! The farther away from Daming, the better!"
Wang Zhi no longer wanted to see the black-smoked destroyer, it was a nightmare.
"I see!"
The Spanish duck governor laughed, "I know a place, the new continent, the Caribbean Sea, which is a pirate's paradise. It is far, far away from Daming , which fully meets your requirements."
"As you wish!"
The Governor of Spanish Duck bowed slightly, 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 will be easy to be a governor in the new continent!
As for being a pirate, it doesn't matter at all. In today's sea, which country's fleet is not a pirate?
As a result, under the leadership of the Governor of the Spanish duck, the Japanese pirates seized countless supplies in Malacca.
The warehouse is full of grain, gold and silver jewelry, and countless muskets, artillery, and ammunition.
"Move the supplies, hurry up and load the ship! Hurry up! Huatinghou's fleet will catch up at any time! Hurry up!"
Wang Zhi didn't know that Lu Li was already the Duke of Yue. , still addressing Lu Li by Huating Hou.
This name is a great deterrent.
The Japanese pirates remembered the terrifying artillery fire, and the speed of carrying the supplies was a little faster.
Two hours later, the guns and ammunition have been loaded, and the food supplies are half loaded. At this time... the sentry on the watchtower lost one's head out of fear and shouted!
"They're here! Huatinghou's fleet is here!"
This exclamation made the Japanese pirates who were busy transporting supplies tremble with fear and their faces turned pale. White.
"Immediately board the ship! Hurry!"
Wang Zhi shouted, not caring about the unfinished supplies, hurriedly rushed into the dock and boarded the battleship.
While the Governor of the Spanish Duck was stunned, the Japanese pirates, who had been fierce just now, fled in a panic.
What is this situation?
Why is a huge fleet of hundreds of battleships frightened like this?
Daming's naval fleet is really that powerful?
The Japanese pirates hurriedly boarded the ship, hurriedly set sail, moved towards the direction of the Indian Ocean and fled.
The Governor of the Spanish Duck stood at the stern, looked up and looked towards the distance, only to see black smoke columns rising from the sea in the distance.
Smoky fleet? What's happening here?
Being full of doubts, the Governor of Spanish Duck quickly took out a single-tube telescope, pulled it apart, and raised it to look towards the distance.
Through the telescope, the Spanish duck governor saw the strange fleet.
The fleet is small, with only a few dozen ships. Only...these ships have no masts and no sails.
A plume of black smoke emerged from the sky above every ship, moving towards Malacca.
"God! What kind of ship is this?"
The Governor of the Spanish Duck stared wide-eyed, exclaimed in disbelief: "It can run without sails. So fast, and black smoke all the way. Is this the devil's ship?"
"He is more terrifying than the devil!"
The corners of Wang Zhi's mouth fiercely trembled a few times. , "On the coast of Daming, my name is no different from a demon. However... I am a demon, but in front of him, I only have the purpose of running away."
"Who is he?"
The Spanish duck governor asked curiously.
"His name is Lu Li, Marquis of Huating of Daming, Hussar General, Governor of Southern Zhili and Governor of Southern Sea."
When Wang Zhi said this name, his voice was all Some trembling.
"He once led fifteen thousand infantry and defeated a hundred thousand Tartar cavalry. He led thirty destroyers and drove us here from the Eastern Sea."
"He is invincible! No one can fight against him."
Wang Zhi sighed, "Although he is my enemy, but... such a hero, I cannot disrespect him."
"A marquis?"
The Governor of the Spanish Duck was amazed: "Amazing record, noble bloodline, this is a great commander."
Just as he was talking, dozens of battleships rushed in with black smoke, already approaching the rear of the Japanese pirate fleet.
"Boom!"
The dense artillery fired a salvo, and the dozen or so sailboats behind the Japanese pirates were instantly blown to pieces.
"My God!"
The Governor of the Spanish Duck was stunned. There is such a powerful battleship as formidable power in this world?
"That's why I ran away!"
Wang Zhi's face turned pale, and he hurriedly shouted: "Full sail, full speed ahead."
Us pirates are not important to Huating Hou at all. He will definitely stop in Malacca and take this vital place.
As long as we escape the Straits of Malacca, we are safe!
