Iron Dynasty

The raging fire burns on the sea like a blooming flower of fire.

On the harbor, Liu Chen and the soldiers witnessed all three warships sinking. A stone fell to the ground. After this war, they wiped out all the British soldiers on the island and successfully controlled Malacca.

In the future, any ship passing through Malacca will have to go through the consent of the Great Yu Kingdom.

After cheering for a while, Liu Chen left some soldiers to guard the fort, and the others returned to Xinjiapo City. At this time, Yue Yun had already controlled the whole city. , fluttering in the wind.

General, the British soldiers have been wiped out! In front of Yue Yun, Liu Chen gave a military salute.

Very good! Yue Yun returned to the military salute and continued; Immediately send someone to report the results of this trip to the Holy Master and wait for the Holy Master's order.

Yes, General. Liu Chen replied in response. On the same day, a battleship set off from the Xinjiapo Seaport to Dengzhou.

On December 20th, the battleship arrived in Dengzhou, and the battle reports of the Battle of Bohol Island and the Battle of Xinjiapo were handed to Xiao Ming.

Your Majesty, it's gratifying to congratulate you. As a result, the territory of the Great Yu Kingdom will expand again.

Qian Dafu smiled brightly. At this time, the master and servant were sketching around the map of Nanyang. Xiao Ming held the battle report in his hand, and Qian Dafu was responsible for unfolding the map.

It's not that simple. Now we only control the Spanish King City and Singapore City of Bohol Island. Whether the indigenous people in these two places agree with our occupation is still unknown.

Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes to outline the locations of the Spanish King City and Singapore. Unlike the contemporary historical process, the maps in some technology spar can only be used as a reference, and the specific locations of these cities still need to be explored and determined.

Indigenous people? Qian Dafu rarely showed a look of disdain, but now the strength of the Great Yu Kingdom makes everyone very confident, Your Majesty, these indigenous people are not the opponents of the British and the Spanish, how can they be our opponents?

The truth is this, but both the Spaniards and the British have made agreements with these natives. Now that we have driven them away, we naturally have to sign a new agreement with them, and the centuries of rule have made these native dynasties gradually Having accepted the Spaniards and the British, I am worried that they will be angry because of this, and war with them is inevitable. Xiao Ming said slowly.

In contemporary colonial history, people tend to ignore these native Southeast Asian countries, focusing only on which colonizer occupied that colony.

But in fact, these Southeast Asian dynasties were vital to the colony, as the colony's output was largely provided by these indigenous dynasties.

According to the demographic statistics of some information in the technology spar, the current population of the Nanyang Dynasty is a very objective number.

For example, in the middle and late 18th century, the population of the Philippines was about 3 million, the population of Indonesia was about 8 million, the population of Malaysia was about 350,000, and the population of Myanmar was about 5 million.

Thailand, or Siam in this era, has a population of three million.

The total population of Indochina occupied by France is about 10 million, of which the population of Annam alone is 7 million.

It is precisely because of these data that Xiao Ming cannot ignore these indigenous countries. After all, the colonists only played the role of the suzerain of these countries during their rule, and did not adopt a massacre policy against them.

Even so, he is not afraid of these natives. If necessary, he can only defeat them once like the Spanish and the British. After all, power is the truth in this era.

Qian Dafu recalled it and said, What the emperor said is that the old slave is confused. In fact, our country of Dayu was once the suzerain of these Nanyang countries, and they always send people to bring all kinds of exotic treasures during Chinese New Year every year. Treasures in exchange for their protection, now the hateful Europeans have taken our suzerainty status and forcibly played the suzerainty of these countries.”

Well, that's it, it seems that you have made some progress. Xiao Ming laughed, Actually, what we are fighting for now is the status of the suzerain, restoring the tributary system of the Great Yu Kingdom, and driving the Europeans out of the Great Yu Kingdom. In the back garden, they have Africa, South America, North America, and it’s a dream to try to get a foot in Asia.”

Qian Dafu looked like he was in the same hatred, The whole world is about to be occupied by them. It's really greedy and not enough. This time the fight was really enjoyable.

Xiao Ming had long been accustomed to Qian Dafu's flattery, he smiled, and then wrote a number on Xinjiapo, which is the current population of Xinjiapo, 20,000.

Xiao Ming is not surprised by this number. Before the arrival of the British, Singapore was just a barren land. Now the number is quite high.

And according to the data provided by Yue Yun, there are still 3,000 people of Chinese descent. After the occupation of Singapore, the local Chinese welcomed the Marine Corps, took the initiative to act as the guide of the Marine Corps, and cooperated with the Marine Corps to receive British property in Singapore.

Xiao Ming naturally welcomes this situation. In this era, the standard for distinguishing people is skin color. The Chinese cannot escape the blood that Dayu has engraved in their bones. It is better to use these Chinese to help them manage Singapore than to use the local indigenous people. Be at ease.

In addition to reporting the situation in Xinjiapo in the battle report, Yue Yun was also asking for instructions on the next step.

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Ming personally ordered Yue Yun.

For him, there is no plan to continue westward for the time being, cutting off the Strait of Malacca, France's Indochina, part of the British-occupied Indonesia, and Australia will all be in his pocket.

And for the current Great Yu Kingdom, it only takes a while to digest these places, establish his suzerainty system, and establish trade exchanges.

It took two or three hundred years for the Western powers to operate these places, and he couldn't eat it into a big fat man.

As for the British, Spanish or French, after the naval battle, he believes that the three countries will realize the difficulties they are facing now and will not fight him to the end.

After all, challenging an industrial nation in such a distant colony would be a disaster.

This is both a good and a hidden danger for the Great Yu Country. The good thing is that the Great Yu Country can use the resources and markets on these lands to accelerate the industrial revolution.

The hidden danger is that such a shameful failure will further stimulate Europe to devote more energy to scientific research and development and weapons manufacturing.

Xiao Ming believes that they will not be willing to fail, and when they find an opportunity in the dark, they will definitely come back again.

Thinking of this, he quickly completed the writing of the edict and sent him back. In order to completely control Malacca, he will station 10,000 troops in Xinjiapo all the year round, and at the same time build it into a foreign naval port of Dayu Kingdom. Thirty warships protect the waterway and patrol the South China Sea.
