Qi Jiguang and other Ming generals immediately stood up and bowed to salute:
"According to the purpose"
Zhu Youjian waved to them as a gesture of courtesy, and then asked Qinglong, the commander of Jinyiwei:
"Qinglong, is there any news from the intelligence personnel you sent back?"
Qinglong hastily cupped his hands and replied:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have sent many Jinyiwei to Malacca and Ceylon, but there is no news yet.
Rest assured, Your Majesty, they are all Jinyiwei elites, with the help of local Chinese, I believe there will be news soon. "
Zhu Youjian nodded slightly:
"Well, once there is information sent back, you should report it to me as soon as possible."
"According to the purpose"
The emperor told the matter to be over, and Qi Jiguang knew that there was going to be a war again, so he stepped forward again and reported:
"Your Majesty, after several battles, the Ming army not only captured Batavia, but also destroyed the kingdoms of Banten and Mataram. Later, they recruited and surrendered many small island countries. The ammunition consumption was serious. In order to prepare for the next battle, the army's Ammunition needs to be replenished in time, you see..."
Chapter 531 The New Governor of Manila
In fact, Qi Jiguang didn't ask Emperor Zhang to play Mini.
Instead, want the emperor to back up with some grenades and mortar shells.
How could Zhu Youjian not understand what Qi Jiguang wanted.
Isn't it just a mortar shell?He now has 500 million war points, and mortar shells are just a drop in the bucket.
Zhu Youjian nodded:
"I know this. Tomorrow you go to the warehouse to pick it up. Is it enough for me to prepare [-] mortar shells for you?"
Qi Jiguang and the generals were overjoyed, they knew exactly what [-] mortar shells meant.
This thing is simply the king of land warfare. It not only blows up the souls of the enemies, but also greatly reduces the casualties of Ming soldiers.
Qi Jiguang hastily bowed and saluted:
"Enough, enough! It is absolutely not necessary to use so many mortar shells to attack the small Malacca and Ceylon," Chen said, thank you, Your Majesty Long En! "
Speaking of Malacca, let's get to know them. Malacca is also a small country divided up by Western powers.
It can be said that the arrival of the Western powers made this small country go through hardships and humiliation.
They were successively occupied by Portugal, Holland and England.
In the Pacific War, it was also occupied by the Japanese country, and later it was continued to be colonized by the United Kingdom.
In 1511, the Portuguese fleet captured Malacca and established a colony.Mahmud Shah, the last Sultan of Malacca, lived in exile in the Malay Peninsula and the Riau Group.
In 1641, the Netherlands united with Johor to capture Malacca.
In the early 17th century, the Netherlands established the Dutch East India Company, established trade in the Moluccas, and subsequently occupied the Sultanate of Java.
Batavia was established in 1619, and then expanded from Batavia to the Malay Archipelago.
England began to expand to Southeast Asia in the 18th century.
The English occupied Penang in 1786 and Singapore and Malacca in 1819.
In 1826, the British merged Penang, Malacca and Singapore into one province, collectively known as the Malacca Straits Settlements.
The Pacific War broke out in December 1941. Despite the stubborn resistance of the British, Australian and Indian troops, the Wa Kingdom occupied Malaysia within two months.
锡兰
The Sinhalese migrated from India to Sri Lanka in the 5th century BC.
In 247 BC, King Ashoka of the Mauryan Dynasty in India sent his son to the island. Since then, the Sinhalese abandoned Brahmanism and converted to Buddhism.
Around 311, Buddha's relic was introduced to Sri Lanka from India.
Around the 2nd century BC, Tamils from South India also began to immigrate.
From the 5th century to the 16th century, the Sinhala Kingdom and the Tamil Kingdom fought continuously until the Portuguese fleet landed near Colombo in 1521.
On May 1656, 5, the Dutch army captured Colombo.
On February 1796, 2, the British army occupied Colombo, and the period of Dutch rule ended.
In 1802, Britain and France signed the Treaty of Amiens, and Sri Lanka was officially declared a British colony.
On February 1948, 2, Sri Lanka officially declared independence and became a dominion of the Commonwealth of Nations, named Ceylon.
Zhu Youjian and the generals are discussing the situation in Malacca and Ceylon.
In another place in Nanyang, changes are also taking place.
On the sea twenty nautical miles away from Luzon, two warships and three merchant ships sailed. On the deck of the battleship stood a 40-year-old Western Curly.
When he saw Lu Song from a distance, he couldn't help making a few gestures in front of his chest:
"God, I finally arrived in Manila safely. The bumpy road is really uncomfortable. Now I'm finally going to start a happy and luxurious life. I'm coming to Manila!"
This person is Coqueira, the new Spanish governor in Manila. Coqueira has long been yearning for the land and sea in the east.
In his mind, the East is not only full of gold, but also obedient slaves, elegant yellow-skinned oriental beauties, high-end silk, etc. It is like a paradise in a dream.
About two sticks of incense, the fleet docked in Manila, and there were already hundreds of Manila officials and many indigenous leaders standing on the shore to greet him.
Of course, there is also the current Governor of Manila, Salvador. The ranks of the team that greeted him are very high in Manila, and the scale of the welcome is very large.
Coquera and Salvador had met several times. He walked directly to Salvador, as enthusiastic as seeing his own father, and opened his arms like a bear hug:
"Oh, my dear Salvador, long time no see, I really miss you..."
El Salvador did not expect the new governor to be so enthusiastic, and he was a little moved in his heart. He patted Coquera lightly and smiled:
"Yes, we also miss your dear Corquila very much. This is not a place to talk. We will go back to the Governor's Mansion to discuss in detail."
Two tall western men, holding hands like two girls, walked towards a luxurious carriage.
Coquila laughed and followed Salvador into the luxury carriage without even looking at the indigenous leaders, but these people still followed the carriage like pugs.
