Chapter 438: Sunan Giri
Shi Jinqing has been dead for more than 90 years. Even if Madam Shi was in his twenties at that time, he was still over 110 now. It was the first time that Qu Lie had seen such a long-lived person when he heard that the old woman in front of him claimed to be Shi Jinqing's daughter, the legendary Madam Shi, he was so shocked.
It was said that he had no basis. When Qu Lie took over the seal from the hand of Mrs. Shi and turned over and saw the six big words "The Old Port Xuanfu Envoy Shi" engraved on it, the last trace of suspicion in his heart also came to the news. When Shi Jinqing surrendered to the court, he was named the Old Port Xuanfu Envoy. Later, Shi Jinqing died, and his daughter Mrs. Shi inherited his position. Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty banned the sea and cut off the connection with the Old Port. As a result, Mrs. Shi was unable to support her, so she had to submit the old port to Manzhe Boyi. In order to reassure Manzhe Boyi, Mrs. Shi moved to Java herself. This seal was the official seal given to Shi by the court. With Qu Lie's eyesight, he could naturally distinguish the authenticity. Moreover, this seal seemed to be a few years old and could not be the latest forged.
"It turns out to be Mrs. Shi. I'll be polite to Qu Lie!" Qu Lie confirmed the identity of Mrs. Shi and bowed to politely. Speaking of which, although Mrs. Shi inherited his father's position as the old port, he failed to preserve the old port in the end, so this official position was invalid. Therefore, Qu Lie did not have to regard Mrs. Shi as an official. However, he knew that Mrs. Shi was very famous among the Muslims in Southeast Asia, so he did not dare to offend him easily. What's more, a person could live to be over 100 years old, which in itself was a great prestige.
"It turned out to be General Qu. This time, Lao Shi stopped the general's great chariot. In fact, there was an extremely important matter to discuss with the general. This matter was related to the lives of tens of thousands of Han people in Java and hundreds of thousands of Muslims. Please ask the general to retreat from the left and right, Rong Lao Shi said in detail!" Madam Shi spoke again.
"Madam Qiu, please tell me!" Qu Lie is now very interested in the long-lived Madam Shi in front of him. After letting everyone on the left, he spoke. Madam Shi's husband's surname is Qiu. The Qiu family in the old port is her husband's family, and that Qiu Ju is the eldest son and grandson of Madam Shi. The other party can block the fleet's route accurately, which is probably inseparable from the Qiu family. After all, many of the children of the Qiu family are now working in the army and the government.
When Madam Shi saw that everyone around her retreated, she smiled and pointed to the middle-aged native man beside her and said, "Please look at General Qu. This is the adopted son accepted by Lao Shi, named Sunan Jiri. He is now the chief minister of Java Muslims. The reason why Lao Shi gave up his face to ask for the general this time was because he didn't want to see the Muslims on Java Island suffer from the war again."
When Qu Lie heard that the middle-aged natives around Mrs. Shi were actually the Muslim Chief of Java, he looked at the other party with a special look. At the same time, he thought to himself, no wonder the other party had such a demeanor. It turned out that he was the religious leader of Java. In a country like the Tammu Kingdom, where politics and religion are united, the Tammu Palace had no less power than King Tammu. But he didn't expect that the other party was the adopted son of Mrs. Shi. It seems that Mrs. Shi could have such a high reputation among Muslims, and it must have an inseparable relationship with this adopted son.
"Sunan Jiri meets General Qu!" After hearing the introduction of the bottom line, Sunan Jiri hurriedly saluted Qu Lie. He grew up with Madam Shi since he was a child, and he learned all the Han etiquette, and his words and deeds were completely different from those of ordinary natives.
Qu Lie did not dare to underestimate this Sunan Jiri, and immediately put his fists back to the greeting. Then Madam Shi told him about his purpose, but after listening to it, Qu Lie wanted to shout "God helps me."
It turns out that the reason why Madam Shi ran to the sea to block Qu Lie's fleet was actually very simple. In the past two years, the Ming Dynasty increased its immigration to the South China Sea in order to ensure the safety of these immigrants. At the same time, it also required these immigrants to be allocated to the best land. Therefore, cruel policies were implemented against the natives in Nanyang, such as the gold mines in Jinzhou. As long as the gold mines were found, the natives would be forced to move away. If they dared to resist, they would immediately attract the suppression of the army. Moreover, wherever the Han people were attacked, native villages with dozens of miles of radius would be massacred.
The above series of cruel policies have made the natives in Nanyang fear the Ming Dynasty. For example, the Muslim religious leaders headed by southern Jiangsu and Jiri, and the Han immigrants headed by Shi Da Niangzi were worried that if the Ming Dynasty invaded Java, it would implement a cruel massacre policy like other places in Nanyang. After all, they all knew that the Ming army was unstoppable. The Tamum Kingdom was defeated in Jinzhou before. Although it now has a good position, there is still no confidence in the Tamum Kingdom. I am afraid that even the Tamum King himself will not have any confidence.
It is precisely because of this that Su Nan Jiri begs Mrs. Shi, hoping to use her power to plead with the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Ming Dynasty does not implement the cruel massacre policy in Java, then the religious leaders of Muslims are willing to secretly surrender to the Ming Dynasty and help the Ming Dynasty seize control of Java.
The arrival of Sunan Jiri and Madam Shi was like a pillow for Qu Lie when he was sleepy. He was worried about how to take Sula Port as completely as possible without having to fill his life. This was originally a very contradictory issue, but if Sunan Jiri and Madam Shi were working together inside and outside the Sula Port, it might not be difficult to easily take Sula Port.
Thinking of this, Qu Lie also warmly welcomed Madam Shi and Nansun. Jiri. In fact, although Madam Shi was immigranting on behalf of the Han people from Java, as long as they were Han people, even if the Ming army captured Sula Port, they would not be in danger. After all, the Ming Dynasty now needs a large population in Nanyang. As long as they are Han people and are willing to obey the rule of the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty will re-register them and become the people of the Ming Dynasty.
In contrast, the upper Muslims represented by Nan Jiri are completely different. These upper Muslims are either the heads of each diocese, some Muslim merchants, or both. These people not only have great power, but also the richest people among the Muslims. Therefore, if the Ming Dynasty really defeated the Tamme Kingdom, they would definitely be the first people to be liquidated by the army. There is no other purpose, because they are rich and the army can get enough oil and water from them. Otherwise, the navy would have starved to death with the little salary given by the court.
It was precisely because of this that Su Nan Jiri begged his adopted mother to work the old birthday star in his 100-year-old to help him build a bridge and lead him, so that he could see Qu Lie in advance. Moreover, Su Nan Jiri was also eager to get the promise of Qu Lie, the general of the Ming Dynasty, so he was very anxious and said many times that they were willing to be internal, but also willing to pay a portion of their property, as long as the Ming army agreed to protect their property and personal safety in the future.
Qu Lie naturally wanted to ask for the inner responders who came to Su Nan and Jili, but he also saw that these people were eager to beg for him, so he naturally had to take some action. He even left Madam Shi and the others on the boat for two days, telling them that they needed to consider it. As a result, it was not until four or five days later that Qu Lie told the other party that he could agree to their request, but Jili and others in Su Nan and Jili had to obey his command and launch a blast in Sula Port according to his plan to welcome the arrival of the Ming fleet.
Sunan Jiri naturally agreed to Qu Lie's request. After all, the Tamura Kingdom was not the Ming Dynasty. In addition to the king's army, the great ministers also had a considerable number of guards. These guards were integrated into a strong army, which was also the capital for them to be on par with the king.
In the summer of the tenth year of Zhengde, a rebellion suddenly broke out in Sula City, the capital of the Tamme Kingdom. The Muslim headed by southern Jiangsu and Jiri led the religious army to raid the port. The Ming fleet, which had been prepared in the outer sea, suddenly appeared in Sula's port, and cooperated with the religious army in southern Jiangsu and Jiri to control the port of Sula Port.
The sudden rebellion of the Muslim ministers such as Sunan and Jiri, Sultan Laden Patta of the Tamme Kingdom was also extremely furious, but there was no way. After all, the great ministers such as Sunan and Jiri were on an equal footing with him in the name of religion, and the laws of the kingdom were not binding on them. Moreover, Raden Patta also knew that those who were on the surface were selfish and selfish. In order to protect their own status and wealth, these people could do everything, and betray their king was not difficult. It was a pity that he had been too careless before.
The most important thing in Sula City is the port. Now that it is occupied by the Ming fleet and religious army, the entire Sula City has suddenly become paralyzed. Not only can the goods in the port be transported, but the materials needed in the city cannot be transported in. Although some goods can be transported by land, they are not as convenient as sea transportation after all. Moreover, the materials consumed by Sula City every day are very huge. Relying on less developed land transportation alone, it cannot meet the needs of the entire city.
