The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 479: Start with the Spice Islands

Swords were drawn, but neither side fired.

The Southeast Army retreated a bit, first went to occupy the front gate, and then the two sides negotiated.

The De Nadi people are fighting with the Chinese here, and the one who serves as an interpreter for the two sides to negotiate and communicate is also a Chinese.

Southeast Asia has a vast territory and numerous languages, and this Southeast Army does not have an interpreter.

A master surnamed Zhang, from southern Fujian, has been doing construction business in De Nadi for five years. He is fluent in native language and is responsible for translation.

In the tide sweeping Southeast Asia in the Southeast Mansion, such things are not uncommon. The indigenous people are beaten by the Chinese while the translators there are still Chinese.

Hong Maofan is too arrogant, not idiom.

The indigenous people are very stupid and cannot learn Chinese.

Only the smart Chinese can learn any language!

Master Zhang preached on behalf of the local side: "Your country replaces the Netherlands, and their interests belong to you. We sell spices to you, and the place is under our jurisdiction."

When soldiers approach the city, they dare to mention such conditions, when we are bleeding in vain!

The southeast officers rolled their eyes to hear it!

Because when they were studying politics, they all knew one thing: "For the benefits we have gained through **** battles, anyone who wants to get them must pay the price of blood!"

"Snatch, you can't be so blunt, just say that the site we got, eat in, will definitely not spit it out!"

Before the fight, everything was easy to say, and it was in front of the palace, and I actually wanted to assume that nothing happened.

Zhang Shili has a chubby face, always smiling with a smile, and when he gets older, he has a style of Amitabha.

But thinking that he is a good husband is a big mistake. He was still confused before, but now he is more mature, thinking things are very clever.

The reason why he did not fight was because he saw that the army did not have an absolute advantage and did not want to fall down before the victory. Therefore, he said in a false way: "We respect your Sudan, we respect your government, we respect your interests... We are here with friendship, we are here for peace..."

After talking endlessly, the translator kept talking, and smiles appeared on the faces of the people from De Nadi.

Then Zhang Shili didn’t say anything else, he just demanded compensation. The first is military expenses. The military expenses we spent in the war are to be compensated. Well, we don’t want more. One million Spanish silver dollars means it. The second is the war dead. The lives of the southeastern soldiers are worth money. If you lose one person, you will pay 10,000 silver dollars.

scare!

Hearing De Nadi people's eyes widened, the two sides came to ask for the price, and immediately repaid the money.

When he was raging, the southeast army rushed to the brigade and poured into the palace continuously, and the southeast army strengthened to nearly a thousand people!

At this time, official Hong Xi also appeared. As soon as he arrived, Zhang Shili immediately stepped aside. Official Hong Xi didn't say much nonsense, and said directly: "surrender, or die!"

"Dozens of sounds, one, two, three..." Hong Xiguan said sharply.

As a result, when he read "eight", Denadi Fashir Sudan announced his surrender!

De Nadi surrendered, starting with a spice island!

The Denadians told the Southeast Army a secret. The eruption of Guamarama Volcano is powerful, but if you enter from the waterway in the northwest, you will hardly encounter bolide.

The reason is that the crater at the time was slightly to the southeast, and the eruption shot to the southeast. Therefore, the direction from which the Southeast Army came was attacked by the bolide. From now on, it is relatively safer to enter from the sea area in the northwest corner.

Therefore, the Southeast Fleet used this method to avoid the volcanic eruption and successfully docked at the port of Shangdnadi.

After the Denadians surrendered, the Governor of Java Chen De announced that Fashir Sudan and the main ministers would be moved to Java, and all Denadians would become slaves!

His extra favor is not to move the De Nadi people away from the mainland. Of course, they must be obedient, otherwise you are not welcome.

In this matter, the people of De Nadi petitioned him for forgiveness.

Chen De's reply was that there was no way to act in accordance with the law. All citizens who went to war with the Southeast Army became slaves, while those who directly submitted to the Southeast Army were free citizens. Anyway, those who follow us prosper and those who oppose us perish.

"Unless he gets an amnesty from His Highness the Archon of the Southeast Palace, no one will dare to say this!" Chen De told De Nadi humanely.

This may be unfair to the De Nadi people, but the effect of intimidation is obvious.

At the port of Denadi, the ship of Tidore, another spice island, found the news, quickly left the port, returned to Tidore, and reported the news to the ruler of Tidore.

When the Southeast Fleet arrived at Tidore, Tidore announced that it had accepted the conditions of the Southeastern Province, admitted that the Southeastern Province had inherited all the interests of the Netherlands, and sold all the spices to the Southeastern Province.

Tidore became a vassal of the Southeast Palace, and the Southeast Palace was not excessive and did not interfere too much in Tidore's internal affairs.

Chen De's boat kept sailing, and took over Harmahera and some spice islands. So far, the southeast government has completed the strategic goal of the spice islands.

Controlled the production and trade of major spices, such as cloves, nutmeg, pepper, etc., and unified sales and auctions in Ambon. The spices were shipped to Europe by sambal, but the southeast government got a share of the pie and obtained huge financial income. , There are hundreds of thousands of silver dollars a year.

Then shipped to East Asia: Mainland, North Korea, Wadao, Ryukyu, Annan and other places. Under the active promotion, the Southeastern government's income from spices reached one million silver dollars!

The success of the Southeast Mansion is by no means a fluke, because they have battleships!

Compared with the Dutch, the fleet of the Southeast Mansion is more powerful, and the number of military personnel is larger. The Hong Maofan that arrived in Southeast Asia is actually the end of the force, and it can still break the indigenous people.

And the military strength of the Southeast Mansion is purely a strong crossbow, with many people and ships, and the guys are thicker, bigger and harder than the Hong Maofan, and the natives are far from opponents.

It's up here. Officials Chen De and Hong Xi hosted a banquet on the shores of the Port of Denadi for those who have contributed to this expedition to the Spice Islands.

The southeast prefecture has been planted with stone monuments, declared to be the territory of the southeast prefecture. When there is no volcanic eruption, Denadi has infinite scenery. The blue sea and blue sky here attract seabirds, white clouds and thick trees. Feel the freshest natural breath of nature. The vast and infinite sea gives people the widest view, and the blue water makes people feel refreshed. Step on the soft beach, stroll and play.

Chen De invites everyone to have a good time with the famous local grilled fish. The specialty red grouper here is tender and the way to process it is very simple. Spread it with a sauce made of cloves, turmeric, and sesame oil, and put it on the fire. It was grilled on top, and the fragrance was full of flavor and the taste was so delicious. Everyone ate one piece after another, as if they were not full.

The officers were very happy. Chen Yuxue was the only one who made a strong face and laughed. She felt guilty. This time she attacked the port of De Nadi, she must fight against the enemy, showing a tough style.

But now that I think about it, perhaps we shouldn't fight hard, because it is safe to enter Denadi Port from the northwestern waterway. With the reconnaissance capabilities of the Southeast Fleet, first stabilize the position and conduct careful reconnaissance. There is a great chance that a safe waterway will be discovered.

Chen Yuxue was the first to start the battle and mobilized the fleet, resulting in the two battleships being sunk by the volcano. In addition, the navy who fought with her killed more than 60 people. In total, nearly 300 people were killed or missing!

The account cannot be counted on Chen Yuxue's head, but she feels deeply guilty. For this reason, Chen De and Hong Xiguan specially invited her to sit together. UU reading www.uukanshu.com Hong Xiguan opened her and said: "Anyone can say afterwards, When a person is on the scene and making a decision, no one dared to guarantee that it will be the best strategy! There is never the best choice in the world, but there is the worst choice. Although we paid the price, we won !"

Chen De also said: "That's why His Royal Highness the consul has said that you must be tolerant to your subordinates. Sometimes, the necessary price still has to be paid!"

"If we don't want to pay, we absolutely can't win!" Chen De said with deep emotion.

Compared with Chen Yuxue, Chen De has a more headache. Being in a high position, a single order may affect the fate of a fleet. If you are afraid of this, you should look forward to it and never think of success!

"Don't be frowning, come, eat a grilled fish, eat some fruit, we are the winner, and the winner will not be blamed!" Hong Xiguan said, giving her a grilled fish. Chen Yuxue thanked her and looked at the splendid view. In Denadi Island under the sunset, the volcano in the distance stands majestically, and the stone monument!

She erected the stone stele to plant the island in De Nadi, and she announced that the island would return to the southeast government on behalf of the Southeast Mansion. Under the sunset, the stele was plated with a golden edge.

The female officer couldn't help feeling very good!
