Chapter 439: The Destruction of the Danmu Kingdom
Qu Lie was obviously a little too cautious. The Muslim nobles such as Southern Jiangsu and Jiri were indeed sincerely surrendered. After all, they were scared by the actions of the Ming army in Nanyang and did not dare to have any other ideas at all.
I want to please Daming in exchange for the promise of Daming to protect his wealth and status.
It is also because of this that after assisting the Ming Dynasty in occupying Sula's port, the Muslim nobles, immediately suggested that Qu Lie send troops to help them enter the interior of Sula City. After all, the Tammu Kingdom has not yet reacted.
It is a good time to capture Su La in one fell swoop.
After careful consideration of the suggestions of people like Sunan and Jili, Qu Lie finally nodded and agreed. He sent all the five thousand Marines brought in the fleet to the shore, and the artillery on the warships provided firepower for them.
Under the guidance of the religious army led by the Muslim nobles, they entered Sula City a few days later.
Sultan Laden Patta of the Tamum Kingdom was also ready to fight to the death with the Ming Dynasty. Thirty years ago, he founded the Tamum Kingdom. After so many years of unremitting expansion, he finally formed the current kingdom that ruled the entire Java Island.
This condenses Laden Patta's efforts and efforts for most of his life, so he will never hand over the capital of his kingdom to others no matter what. He is even ready to sacrifice his country for his life.
Laden Patta is the founding king of the Tamme Kingdom. His army has been expanding outward over the years and is fighting against the enemy all the time. It can be said that the Tamme Kingdom is still in the rising period of a country, the country's army
Still maintaining strong combat power.
But this powerful country is only compared to the Southeast Asian countries. The army of the Tamura Kingdom is naturally invincible in the face of the religious army formed by the Muslim nobles, but when they faced the Marine Corps carefully formed last week.
It is no match at all. After all, the entire Marine Corps has completely become a full firearm unit. The musketeers hold a new type of mesh gun. With three stages of shooting, the Tamamu army holding primitive weapons was defeated. There is no power to fight back.
.
In addition, Qulie's warship also provides strong firepower support to the Marines. Whenever the Marines encounter strong resistance in a certain place in Sula City, they will immediately send people to notify the fleet, and then the Marines retreat, and the fleet will eventually be in full swing.
The artillery would soon cover the area, and in the end Qu Lie just needed to send a surrendered religious army to clean up the mess.
It was also because of the benefits of firearms. In addition to the advanced combat concept, the Ming army advanced very quickly in Sula City. It quickly cleared the Tamum army in the city. Ten days later, the Marine Corps and the Religious Army
He surrounded the palace in Sula City, and according to reliable information obtained by the top Muslims, Sultan Laden Patta of the Tamme Kingdom did not escape, but remained in the palace. In addition, there was no intention of surrendering in the palace.
It seems that I want to fight to the end.
The palace is far away from the port and has exceeded the effective range of warship artillery, but this is not a difficult task. You only need to remove some of the cannons from the warship. It is precisely because of the powerful weapons of siege, such as artillery, that palace
The strong and tall city walls could not hinder the footsteps of the Ming army. In the end, the gate of the palace was blasted open, and the Ming army rushed in. Although the guards in the palace fought to the death, they could only struggle to death. Sultan Raden of Tam
Although Patta knew that his situation was hopeless, he did not surrender, but chose to fight to the end and eventually died under the Marines' rifle.
The death of Laden Patta in battle marked the official demise of the Tamme Kingdom, and at the same time, Sula Port also fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty. However, the remaining forces of the Tamme Kingdom did not give up resistance, among which Laden Patta's son Yu
Nuss retreated to the western coast of Java with the navy of Tamme Kingdom, while his other son, Trilingana, led Su La's defeated army to the inland in the west, refusing to recognize the Ming Dynasty's rule over him.
Qu Lie naturally gave a serious blow to the tough attitude of Laden Pata's two sons. First, he personally led the fleet to western Java and found the navy led by Yunus. Both sides were in Quegang, which was later generations.
The largest naval battle in the South Ocean occurred in the waters of Jakarta. Hundreds of Javans besieged twenty-five warships in the Ming Dynasty. Although the Javans had a great advantage in number, the navy has always been a technical group of troops, navigation and
The gap in weapons technology cannot be made up for by quantity. The Ming fleet lost almost no warships, so it defeated Yunus's Tamme Navy. In the end, Yunus died in the army like his father.
In the middle, the Tamur Navy's warship sank and fled, and since then it was destroyed.
Although the Navy of Unus was eliminated, the Danmu army led by Trilingana, another son of Laden Patta, fled to the interior of Java. Although Qulie's navy was powerful, he could not drive the ship.
To eliminate the enemy on the island, although the Marine Corps are relatively strong, they are all Han people after all, and they are not very adaptable to the climate of the South Ocean rainforest. Moreover, they are not familiar with the terrain of Java, so it is impossible to chase inside Java to eliminate Trigana.
The remnants of the army.
But it doesn't matter. Although Qu Lie cannot directly send Marines to attack Trilingana, he also has religious troops in southern Jiri. With the destruction of the Tamura Kingdom, these religious troops are no longer useful.
It may even bring new threats to Java, but it is not good to disband directly. It can be used now and let them clear out the remaining Tamme army led by Trilingana. Anyway, they are all Javanese and are in a local area.
Nothing was at a disadvantage in any way.
After helping Qu Lie to destroy the Tammu Kingdom, the Muslim nobles such as Southern Jiangsu and Jiri have always been worried that the Ming army would not keep their promises. After all, the Han people in Nanyang have always been known for their shrewdness, otherwise they would not have accumulated such a large amount of agriculture.
If this general of the Ming Dynasty turns his back on others afterwards, they will be in trouble.
Fortunately, Qu Lie knew that he represented the court, and he could not do such a thing as backfire. In addition, he left behind the Muslim nobles in southern Jiangsu. It was also conducive to the stability of Java and facilitated the immigration of the Ming Dynasty in the future, so he occupied Su La.
Later, it was announced that Java became the territory of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the natives who were willing to accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty, they would be protected by the Ming Dynasty in the future. This order also made the Muslim nobles finally relieved.
It is precisely because their status and wealth were guaranteed that Muslim nobles such as Southern Jiangsu and Jiri also changed their previous attitude towards the Ming Dynasty and began to fully assist Qu Lie in clearing the remaining forces of the Danmu Kingdom. After all, since they are
The Tammu Kingdom has been destroyed, so it must be completely destroyed. Otherwise, if the Tammu Kingdom rekinds its fate one day, then they will be the first to be liquidated.
The matter of clearing the remnants of the Tamme Kingdom was handed over to southern Jiangsu. The people here of Jiri, Qu Lie began to govern Java Island. After his fleet set off, Zhou Chong quickly organized a group of officials to settle in Java, and even in these officials
Before arriving, the Governor's Office had already divided all the prefectures and counties on Java Island. After all, the intelligence collection some time ago was not in vain.
In fact, at the moment when Sula Port was captured, Java Island had already fallen into the clutches of the Ming Dynasty. Whether it was the death of Younus or the persevering Trilingana, no matter what efforts they made, they would not.
It may affect the overall situation in Java. After all, the Ming Dynasty is like a beast released by Zhou Chong himself. As long as it is a prey he likes, he will definitely not escape his sharp minions. As long as you are bitten anywhere, then
Next, the beast of Daming will be swallowed alive.
As Ming officials took over all parts of Java, the Ming Dynasty immigrants rushed to Java. This immigration was different from the initial disaster immigrants because they were all immigrants who moved to Java voluntarily, after all, compared to Jinzhou and Borneo.
In those dense forests, Java is the most developed island in the South Ocean. Not only does it have a large amount of fertile land, but it also has a lot of mineral deposits, especially gold mines, which are not less than those in Jinzhou, and they are all mined.
Mine, this is much better than the gold mines just discovered, at least the investment will be much less.
With the entry of these Ming immigrants, the Ming Dynasty's rule over Java Island gradually stabilized, but because there were too many natives on Java Island, after preliminary estimates, it was at least two million to four hundred.
The reason why there is such a big error between thousands is that many natives live in the deep mountains and forests, and the former Danmu Kingdom did not completely rule the native tribes on Java Island, so the Ming Dynasty wanted to
It is simply impossible to figure out the number of natives on the island, and it can only be estimated by the court in other aspects.
Such a huge number of natives, and because of the high level of civilization on Java Island, most of these natives live very closely. In this way, if high-pressure policies are used again, it is likely to cause riots among natives. If it is true
It is not easy to suppress millions of natives. But so many natives live together, it is likely to cause other chaos in the future. Therefore, immigration to the Ming Dynasty is one aspect, and
On the one hand, the number of natives on Java Island must be reduced.
Massacre is impossible, otherwise it will cause another turmoil in Java. In this way, only migration will be left. Anyway, the Southeast Asian region is so large, and many islands are covered with jungles, such as Borneo and most of the Jinzhou.
All of them need to be developed in advance to be suitable for human habitation. The natives on Java Island can just be used to do this. So under the means of Ming officials or coercion or temptation, the natives of Java began a migration that lasted for nearly a hundred years.
