Wang Jia participated in the war and was promoted from a messenger to a non-commissioned officer a year later. Two years later, he was recommended by Officer Ding Yalou to become an officer. After that, he worked hard in the army and served as platoon commander, company commander, battalion commander, regiment commander, brigade commander, division commander, etc. Military post, eventually retired as a lieutenant general.

It has to be said that in his long military career, he has been writing articles for the Army Military News and writing about his military career, which has helped him to be a farmer, with a shallow foundation, but ascending to a high position.

The boss above wants to see how far he can write. As long as he does meritorious service, he will be promoted and promoted.

In the end he wrote the long history book "Fifty Years in the Army". This book records his experience in fighting from Southeast Asia to West Asia, then to Africa and Europe. It is a rare historical and literary masterpiece. Research.

A few years later, when he and Qiu Fengji of the same village sat under a tree to enjoy the coolness in the rest house, both of them had become famous. Looking back on their lives, they were not in vain, and they made great contributions in their respective fields.

...

Bazhang city.

This is the capital of the Bachang Kingdom, the predecessor of the Mada Lan Sudan Kingdom. It has a long history and many developments. There are many stone buildings in the city, as well as spacious squares and gravel roads. This is commendable for the rainy Southeast Asia.

The tall minaret stood tall, and when the hour came, the bells rang, calling the believers to worship.

The palace in the east of the city is not large in size, but it is quite exquisite. The white marble is the palace and is covered with precious carpets bought from far away West Asia. This area is high, with mountain peaks on both sides, and the wind is strong and very cool, so even if the temperature is hot, Carpeting does not count as B.

Sultan Agong, the king of ten thousand people, sits on the throne. He has a majestic body, two majestic beards, gray hair and erect roots. He looks vicious.

There were five people standing in front of him. They were his brother Rampu, general Gulani, Nasr, and Amin. All four of them were the main generals who played in the Chinese Java City. The other main general Abdullah was defeated. Shot with a musket.

Sultan Agung, the king of ten thousand people, is a little haggard, which is extremely rare for him who has always been high-spirited. After all, he has been domineering over the years, occupying Central Java and West Java, the Kalimantan Peninsula, and attacking the Netherlands in Batavia. People twice, and the Dutch can't retaliate and have to treat him well.

The Chinese are not the same. After hearing that tens of thousands of Chinese go out to fight, Argonne can’t help but feel cramps on his face. This is not a trivial matter. Coupled with the opponent’s huge ship and artillery, and the tactics are extremely correct. The threat to Sudan's country when the horse hits the basket is great!

As far as Agung is concerned, the Dutch are not enough to worry about the number of people, but the Chinese with guns are no small thing.

The minister standing on the right side of his finger hall Hasani said: "Say!"

Hasani bowed to Agong and said: "Your Majesty, I will contact the Governor's Mansion of Southeastern Java at your will and ask the two to negotiate a peace. The result is..."

Everyone pricked their ears to listen, and Hasani said, "They neither reply nor stop the war!"

That is to choose war!

Sudan Agung has regrets in his heart. At the beginning, he wanted to take advantage of the Chinese who had just occupied Batavia and attacked the Chinese first. Unexpectedly, the opening of the scene would not be able to end, instead let the Southeast Army occupy a high morale. point!

People have good guns and convenient boats, so you can hit whatever you want.

of course! If the Southeast Army continues to fight in, Sudan Agong will care about it, as long as he retreats to the interior, relying on the time and location, and the enemy's jungle warfare, they will suffer.

But what about "people and"?

The so-called change from frugality to luxury is easy, and it is difficult to change from luxury to frugality. Over the years, horses have gained a large amount of wealth through trade. Many people wear gold and silver, enjoy the beauty of silk and drink fine wine, but it is not so easy. Keep fighting.

In fact, Sudan Agung immediately proposed to the Chinese to negotiate peace after the offensive defeat, and continued to demand peace in the coastal areas of the Chinese offensive horses, but the Chinese did not accept the good intentions.

"Since they want to fight, we will let them go without return!" Sudan Agung sternly said: "Use the treasury to contact the Dutch, buy their guns and ammunition, and tell the Dutch that the two will cooperate against the Chinese. , After the event is over, allow them to divide Java equally!"

Will he split Java equally with the Dutch? Of course it's impossible, but it's just to coax the Dutch.

In the same way, the Dutch will deceive them, and everyone will deceive them.

The plan was settled, Sudan Agung prepared for war, and then he discovered that the army and marines of the Southeast Army had been withdrawn, and they could not be found if they wanted to fight. Only the fleet was left on the sea to cruise, and the horse was blocked. Sudan was hitting the basket. Country coastline.

The captives and the sinking of horses to hit Sudan's ships and cut off its foreign trade. The horse hits Sudan has entered a tragic period, and the king of ten thousand can no longer dominate everyone!

...

The main force of the Southeast Squadron under the Governor's Mansion of Java, including six battleships, fifteen cruise ships and eight supply ships, has entered a long voyage under the leadership of Governor Chen De, directly taking the Spice Islands!

In addition, there are twenty Southeast Mansion and the hired red-headed boats behind, full of personnel and materials, all with red eyes, ready to make a fortune!

The spice islands in Asia refer to the East Indies (Indonesia) in a broad sense, which is a general name for the spice-rich islands in Southeast Asia by European countries around the 15th century. It illustrates the Europeans' desire for oriental spices at that time, and is also a direct cause of the great nautical era (geographical discovery).

The precise definition refers to the Maluku Islands, which are located in the northeastern part of Indonesia, between Sulawesi and Irian. An equator passes through it. It covers an area of ​​more than 74,000 square kilometers and consists of approximately 1,000 islands.

The climate here is hot, humid and rainy. It is suitable for the growth of spice crops. It is one of the main spice producing areas in the East. It has long been known as the "Spice Islands". The spices produced are well-known for their excellent texture and strong fragrance.

The Moluccas and the Banda Islands not far away are the most legendary islands. The former contributed every clove to the world until the early 16th century, while the latter was the only nutmeg producer at that time.

The so-called spices refer to condiments such as cardamom, pepper, and cloves. What they have in common is that they have a strong fragrance and antiseptic effect, and they are mostly not produced in Europe.

When it is, because there is no refrigerator, the meat of Europeans is not easy to preserve. Although the meat can be preserved with salt, the taste is far inferior to that with spices. It is not only salty but also not easy to chew. Long-stored bacon can be used as Bricks come to hit people.

Spices are one of the earliest commodities in international trade. In the early 17th century, a ship of spices was purchased from the Spice Islands for only about 3,000 pounds, and sold to the British market worth more than 36,000 pounds.

In 1512 AD, the Portuguese occupied the Maluku Islands. After that, the Spaniards and Dutch followed one after another. After fierce competition, in the 17th century, the Maluku Islands fell into the hands of the Dutch East India Company.

The Dutch East India Company was broken for spice. In the 1620s, it monopolized the Banda Islands through **** massacres, thereby obtaining a monopoly on nutmeg production. Later, by destroying clove trees and cracking down on smuggling activities, it obtained a monopoly on the clove trade. Right, and has been suppressing various places in Southeast Asia ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ in trying to monopolize the pepper trade.

The spice trade is extremely profitable, making millions of silver dollars a year.

With such a huge profit, the Southeast Government is salivating.

After the defeat of Batavia, Chen De was ordered to take charge of military and political affairs. He was "slowly beat" again, deliberately letting the spice islands be ignored, and letting the demons dance there, before Shi Shiran cleaned them up.

It’s a trick to eat fresh all over the sky, using the Dutch seal, and the Chinese on behalf of the Dutch announce the transfer of the interests of the "Spice Islands" to the Chinese-awkward and far-fetched reasons. Why don't the Dutch say this kind of thing? ?

Whether the Dutch believe it or not, the Chinese believe it anyway, whoever dares to steal our interests, we will beat anyone!

The Chinese people’s shameless search for the reason for the war became known to other countries in the future. As a result, something strange happened-after a certain party’s power collapsed, it was known that it was the Chinese’s hand and no one from the surrounding power stationed in the area, so as to avoid being found by the Southeast Government An excuse to go to war!

Really, everyone has become a vegetarian now? So peaceful? !
