427 Descendants of Ming Dynasty
This Java Island was granted to the British Duke, but the people from the British Duke's Mansion and local officials appointed by the imperial court could not come here at this moment.
Because they have just taken Batavia and have not yet controlled the entire Nanyang.
At this moment, it was impossible for them to send a fleet back to pick up people.
The next morning, Taichang summoned a group of generals who accompanied him to the flagship.
He glanced around slightly, and then solemnly said: "I am determined to remember the merits of British Dukes of all generations, and be granted the title of British Dukes of Zhang Weixian as the first class of British Dukes, and granted the title of Java Island as the territory of British Dukes. From now on, Java Island will be renamed the British Dukes of Ming Dynasty."
My God, the British Duke's department is now developed!
This British Duke's Mansion is larger than the Duke's Mansion of Wenguo, and there are many more suitable places for farming here than the Duke's Mansion of Wenguo.
When the generals heard this, they all looked at Zhang Zhiji with envy.
They had no objection, because the British Duke had made outstanding achievements. If you follow the merits, there would be no problem to be granted the title of First Class Duke. What's more, the current Crown Princess is still the daughter of the British Duke. The British Duke can fully bear the title of such a large territory.
When Taichang saw the expressions of everyone, he couldn't help but nodded slightly. Then, he waved his hand and said, "Go to the map."
Soon, Cao Huachun spread the map of the stronghold seized from the Dutch on a large table in the middle of the meeting hall.
Taichang pointed directly at the two strongholds of Sanfoqi and Manshijia on the map and briefly introduced: "This is the only way for European barbarians to enter the South China Sea. As long as we take down Sanfoqi and Manshijia, and then build a fortress to block the strait in the middle, European barbarians will basically not be able to enter the South China Sea."
This is a big strategic issue.
Their purpose of this expedition was not only to take Batavia, but to regain control of the entire Southeast Asia. All the generals here knew this.
This way the entrance to the South China Sea was blocked, and it was indeed difficult for the European barbarians to enter, unless they ventured around the deep seas without any land or islands.
Originally, when the European barbarians had just begun to explore the sea routes, they did walk through those sea areas.
However, no one is taking this stupidity at this moment.
Because those sea areas always move without an island or land for tens of thousands of miles, they basically cannot get out if they drive in.

In other words, as long as the Three Buddhas and Mantadon were blocked, the Nanyang Ocean would basically belong to the Ming Dynasty.
However, there seems to be some problem.
Sun Chuanting pointed to Luzon on the map and said carefully: "Master, what should the Spanish here do?"
Taichang said lightly: "Let's not worry about this for the time being, because the rubber trees we planted have not started to produce rubber, we still have to buy rubber from them. Moreover, the Spanish Governor Carinho just wants to make money, and he dare not go against the Ming Dynasty."
OK, then let's not worry about him for now.
Upon hearing this, Sun Chuanting couldn't help but nodded slightly to show that he understood.
Taichang then continued: "It is not too late to block the waterway. We will set out tomorrow to take down the Sanfoqi and Mantajia. Qin Yiming, you will lead 40,000 Shenji Camp infantry here to guard it."
When Qin Yiming heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
There is no way, he made a big contribution yesterday, and the next opportunity to make contributions is probably to others.
He could only bow helplessly: "I will obey the order."
Taichang ordered again: "Boya, the navy dispatched twenty dragon-tooth warships and two hundred wolf-tooth warships to assist in defense here."
Sun Chuanting hurriedly bowed and said, "I understand."
Early on the third morning, Taichang led more than 800 naval ships and 60,000 elite soldiers of the Shenji Camp and headed straight for the Three Buddhas.
The Three Buddha Qi Kingdom is in the South China Sea, and the key points of the foreign waterways are the East Bharat countries, the Dashi countries facing the west, and all the countries they face enter the Central Plains through their territory.
The name of these three Buddhas Qi Kingdom actually originated from the Kingdom of Saliva during the Tang and Song Dynasties. However, during the Yuan Dynasty, the Kingdom of Saliva was destroyed by the Kingdom of Java.
The Three Buddhas and Qi Kingdom referred to in the Ming Dynasty was actually the new Three Buddhas and Qi Kingdom built by Liang Daoming, a native of the South China Sea of the Ming Dynasty.
During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Liang Daoming, the king of the New Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom, personally led his officials to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, so the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom had long been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.
Unfortunately, because the Ming Dynasty was gradually declining, it was impossible to control the countries in the South China Sea. The Three Buddhas and Mantaga fought against each other, and the Ming Dynasty was unable to control them.
In the end, the Three Buddhas Kingdom was actually destroyed by Mantaga, and Mantaga was also destroyed by Portugal and the Netherlands in Europe!
Taichang looked at the relevant records seized from the Dutch and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Alas, once the Ming Dynasty declines, even the subjects of the vassal state will not be able to survive!
These Three Buddha Qi Kingdoms are actually Sumatra Island in later generations, and the old port of its capital is only more than 800 miles away from Batavia. It can be reached in one day at the speed of a ship.
In the evening of that day, the huge fleet arrived at the old port stronghold marked by the Dutch on the map.
This is not a Batavia, and its geographical location is not very important. At best, it is just an ordinary stronghold or an ordinary colony.
Therefore, the Dutch East India Company built a small fortress next to the port, with less than 500 mercenaries garrisoned.
Moreover, there are not many warships here, only more than a dozen armed merchant ships.
The terrifying fleet of the Ming Navy rushed into the port, and the Dutch were shocked.
What is this for?
We only have more than a dozen armed merchant ships, why are you doing such a big battle?
The Dutch here did not know that Batavia had been taken down by the Ming Dynasty, because when Taichang led his army to attack Batavia, the entire port was surrounded tightly, and no Dutch ships ran out.
Taichang didn't think about doing any sneak attacks, because the East India Company had only so many warships and mercenaries in total.
Moreover, in the Battle of Batavia, they had basically wiped out almost the same, and ordinary strongholds like Sanfoqi could not have too strong guards.
This is true, the small fortress here is simply not comparable to Batavia.
He took advantage of the sunset to scan the small fortress, then looked at the red-haired fan's terrified expression, and decisively ordered: "Send someone to call with the surrender book and ask them to open the city and surrender immediately."
Soon, a wolf-toothed warship carried the military service to the bottom of the fortress.
The Dutch inside really opened the city gate.
There is no way, they have no strength to fight back!
If the densely packed building ship gunboats fired, the entire fortress would probably be bombarded into pieces.
This book of surrender is indeed useful with strong force as a backing. At least, the Dutch in this small stronghold dare not resist.
When they saw that it was a letter of surrender written by the governor, they surrendered directly!
The old land of the Three Buddhas and Qi Kingdom seemed to have been taken down like this. So what happened to the original people of the Three Buddhas and Qi Kingdom?
To be honest, Taichang didn't know either.uu reads www.uukanshu.com
Because the Ming Dynasty had not sent a fleet here for a long time, and the Dutch's center of gravity was Batavia and Java, they only destroyed the Mantaga defenders here and took down the port here, and had not had time to occupy the entire island.
You know, Sumatra is not a small island, and its area is even more than the total of the four islands in Japan. It is basically impossible for the population of the Netherlands to completely occupy such a large area. It would be great that they could completely occupy Java Island.
Of course, the Ming Dynasty was different.
The Three Buddhas were originally a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. The king of the New Three Buddhas and Qi Kingdom was still descended from the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, most of the people here migrated from the coast of the Ming Dynasty. Although the New Three Buddhas and Qi Kingdom was destroyed by Manta, Mantas and Qi Kingdom was also destroyed by Portugal and the Dutch!
In other words, the common people here should be dominated by the people of the Three Buddhas Kingdom, but I don’t know how many people are left on the island.
The next morning, Taichang sent hundreds of wolf-tooth warships to search along the coast and the rivers on the island.
In just half a day, the wolf-toothed warships sent out successively carried the excited Sanfoqi old people back to the port.
When Taichang saw the shabby people chatting with his soldiers at the port pier, he concluded that these people must be descendants of the Ming Dynasty.
He simply brought a group of generals to the flagship and came to the dock.
This is amazing.
When the common people heard that it was the sage of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they all lay on the ground and burst into tears.
What's going on?
Taichang was a little confused.
