Old Port, also known as Palembang in later generations, is located in the southeast end of Jinzhou. It originally belonged to the territory of the ancient Southeast Asian country of Sanfoqi, but later the Three Buddhas were destroyed by Manzhe Boyi, and the country was in chaos. The Han people living in the Old Port area were

Asking for self-protection, jointly recommended the Han leader Liang Daoming as the leader, established the New Three Buddha Kingdom, and contacted the Ming Dynasty. As a result, he was invited by Emperor Chengzu. Liang Daoming returned to the Ming Dynasty with his family and brought the King of the New Three Buddhas to Qi.

The throne was passed to his subordinate Shi Jinqing, and later the Ming Dynasty appointed Shi Jinqing as the old port consolation envoy, marking that the new Three Buddha Kingdom was officially recognized by the Ming Empire.

The envoy of Xuanwei was originally the chieftain of the Ming Dynasty for a few areas in the Southwest Sea. Shi Jinqing became the envoy of Xuanwei of the Ming Dynasty, so his new Three Buddhas Kingdom became the reserve territory of the Ming Dynasty, and his status was higher than that of the vassal states, such as the southwest.

The Xuanwei Envoy of the land, which became the territory of the Central Plains dynasty in later generations.

However, the old port was too far from the Ming Dynasty. Although Shi Jinqing received the reward from the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty could not actually control the place. Among them, the Ming Dynasty was better during the reign of Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. Zheng He's fleet would occasionally dock at the old port, so he could also dock at the old port.

Provide some practical support to him, but with the ban on the sea in the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He's treasure ship could only slowly decay in the port of the Ming Dynasty. In addition to being able to contact the Ming Dynasty during the tribute, the old port was completely cut off from the Ming Dynasty at other times.

Contact.

Shi Jinqing was the first generation of old Hong Kong comfort envoy. After his death, he handed over the power in his hands to his daughter in accordance with local customs. Later generations called his daughter the eldest daughter Shi, and the father and daughter of Shi were both Muslims.

During the reign of the Old Port, he spared no effort to promote Muslim religion. In particular, Madam Shi adopted an adopted son. She made great contributions to the promotion of Muslims in Southeast Asia. She was called one of the nine sages by Muslims in Southeast Asia, and was also one of them.

It is precisely because of this that Madam Shi also has a great reputation in Southeast Asia.

Both Shi’s father and daughter are Muslims, which is one of the reasons why they received Zheng He’s support. Zheng He went to Southeast Asia seven times and made great contributions to the promotion of Muslims in Southeast Asia. For example, the Old Port was the religious center for Muslims to spread to the outside world at that time.

Even most of the Han people living in the local area became Muslims. For this reason, they also established many special Muslim communities. It is said that when the number of people was the highest, the number of Han people living in the local area once exceeded 100,000.

However, although Mrs. Shi gathered considerable Han power in the old port, Manzhe Boyi was in the heyday of the kingdom. Mrs. Shi was unwilling to fight with them, so she surrendered in 1440 and moved to Java himself.

The new Three Buddha Kingdom, which lived in the old port, officially perished.

However, although the rule of Shi's clan was destroyed, the Han people in the old port were still there, and the Muslim religion here was still very strong. Even the Manzhe Boyi at that time could only recognize the Muslim autonomy here. Until the end of the 15th century, Manzhe Boyi could only recognize the Muslim autonomy here.

After the demise, several small countries emerged on Jinzhou and Java Island. Many of these small countries believed in Muslim religion. The old port belonged to the Kingdom of Bandan at this time, and this country was a Muslim country.

Although the Kingdom of Banten is a Muslim country, they are constantly in dispute with the Tamme Kingdom, which is a Muslim country on Java Island. Wars often break out between the two countries. The strength of the two countries is almost the same, so no one can do anything to each other. But just in the previous paragraph

In time, the Danmu Kingdom suddenly increased its strength, and many muskets and artillery appeared in the army. As a result, the Wandan Kingdom was defeated and the army retreated again and again. Seeing that the Danmu Kingdom's army was about to reach the old port area

It's right.

Nearly 100,000 Han people live in the old port. Although these people also believe in Islam, they also know that in the face of war, the troops of the same Muslim countries do not have any kindness. If the old port is also broken, then what they face

It is likely to be a massacre, after all, the native army of Southeast Asian countries is notoriously cruel.

It was also in this case that the Han leader of the Old Port, the Muslim minister, convened the ministers from all over the Old Port to discuss and finally decided to ask for help from the Ming army stationed in Malacca. After all, no matter what, they are also Han people, here

When they were in life and death, they naturally thought of their motherland first. What's more, they were the envoys of the Ming Dynasty. Although they had not paid tribute for many years, this title could be used.

When Zhou Chong left Malacca Port, he left half of the navy. As for the Jing camp led by Shen Ying, they were all stayed as the local defenders. Shen Ying had replaced Zhou Chong as the admiral of the four seas and managed the defense of Malacca Port.

Because he was not proficient in water warfare, Qu Lie was left as his deputy to assist.

In addition to the army, Malacca Port has now been officially incorporated into the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of the Four Seas. In other words, it has become a formal territory in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhou Chong divided it into one palace separately, so there is naturally a set of its own administration here.

The teams are all old people from the original Maritime Warehouse Department. Among them, Tang Bohu has grown up and replaced Yang Tong as the second magistrate of Malacca. However, his magistrate is quite miserable. The only area under his jurisdiction is Malacca, which is even a decent county around it.

No.

The Han Muslim University Master from the Old Port personally went to Malacca to ask for help, which immediately attracted the attention of Shen Ying and Tang Bohu, and personally received each other. As a result, after hearing the situation facing the Old Port, they both discussed whether to ask for help from the Old Port.

However, there was a disagreement among the people. What was very strange was that Tang Bohu, a civil servant, insisted that he should seek help from the old port, but Shen Ying, a military general, believed that he could not help.

As a civil servant, Tang Bohu should not like to fight, but this time he insisted that he should rescue the old port, but in fact he had his own plans. The most important reason was that as the prefect of the whole place, he could only do so.

It is really not worthy of its name to govern the city of Malacca Port, so I am eager to expand my jurisdiction. The old port is not far from Malacca, and it is also an excellent port. What is even more rare is that there are nearly 100,000 Han people there.

If he occupied it, then for him, he could not only double the scope of his jurisdiction, but also a great political achievement.

Tang Bohu wanted to expand his jurisdiction, so he insisted on sending troops to rescue him, but Shenying also had reasons that he was unwilling to rescue him.

First of all, Malacca's troops are not many, and there are only more than 3,000 people. These people should not only beware of the Portuguese's come back, but also beware of the remnants of the Malacca Kingdom fleeing to the north to harass them, so these troops cannot be moved lightly.

The second reason is a bit complicated, mainly because the Han people who originally lived in Malacca, namely the Han people in Nanyang who had lived in Malacca Port for a long time, were very disgusted with the Han people in the old Hong Kong, especially some Han families.

In fact, it was moved from the old port, or was driven out.

As we all know, Islam is a very xenophobic religion. Han Muslims in the Old Port also used some tough measures when preaching, which made many Han people very disgusted. Some Han people chose to surrender due to the situation and converted to Islam.

Other tough Han people were unwilling to surrender, so they were treated unfairly. In the end, many of them were forced to move out of the old port, and many of the Han families in Malacca were moved here under this situation.

It is precisely because of this that the Han people in Malacca have always regarded themselves as orthodox Han people and are very opposed to those Han people who converted to Islam. Even though the former Kingdom of Malacca was a Muslim country, none of the Han people in Malacca City believed in this religion.

When Zhou Chong learned about this, he felt very strange. Later, Mr. Lu told him that the Kingdom of Malacca was not that it forced them to convert to Islam, but they were rejected by them. In addition, the Han people controlled part of the port trade.

The Kingdom of Malacca did not dare to force too much, which made it impossible for a single Muslim among the local Han people.

The Han people in Malacca were originally very opposed to Muslims, and were influenced by the Han people forced out of the old port, so they became even more disgusted with Han Muslims in the old port. Although Zhou Chong had moved nearly 100,000 people into Malacca, the local Han family still

It controls a considerable part of the trade in Malacca Port, so if you go to aid the old port at this time, it may cause dissatisfaction among the Han families.

Of course, in addition to the above two reasons, Shen Ying has no other third reason. This reason is his personal problem. When he led troops in the Shaanxi Border Army of the Ming Dynasty, he encountered many rebellions from local Hui people.

Many of his comrades died at the hands of those Hui people, so he was also very disgusted with Islam and did not want to rescue Muslims overseas.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that Shenying insisted on not agreeing to rescue the old port. If the two of them had been arguing, they could only ask Zhou Chong to make a decision. However, Zhou Chong was in the Ming Dynasty, and the people who reported the news came and went.

At least two months. By the time Zhou Chong's decision came to his mind, I'm afraid the old port would have been burned to white ground by the Tamura Kingdom, so Zhou Chong had told them before that if there was an emergency, Shen Ying and Tang Bohu would not go through.

He made a decision as soon as he agreed, but unfortunately, the two of them had a disagreement now, and no one could convince anyone.

Seeing the army of the Danmu Kingdom getting closer and closer to the old port, Shenying and Tang Bohu still had an argument, which made the chief minister from the old port very anxious. Finally, after he got some news from Tang Bohu, he finally made the
