Chapter 970: Ming Army: So Cooperative!

Zheng Zhilong was completely absorbed in the reconstruction of Manila City.
He had even finished drawing the blueprints and was currently supervising the development of some gold and silver mines in Luzon Island.
Moreover, this year, the government's new policies have been implemented vigorously and have shown remarkable results.
For example, nearly 10 million kilograms of sugarcane from Luzon Island were sold to Ming Dynasty, prompting the state-owned commercial society to add several new trade routes. Translated content:
Moreover, he had close connections with the people on Qiongzhou Island and had been planting rubber trees one after another.
Immersed in building a new life, Zheng Zhilong seemed to have forgotten that he came here for the war.
When the emperor mentioned it, I suddenly realized that I can't continue to be idle like this.
So... who should I challenge?
Looking around, there is surprisingly no opponent, I'm still lonely!
Just when Zheng Zhilong felt extremely lonely, a group of businessmen returned to Manila in a sorry state.
These Han merchants escaped back from the harbor of Sukadana.
他们先是找到了华人理事会的总理事陈立,然后把事情的经过跟陈立说了一遍。
大致意思就是,咱们在苏卡达那海港做买卖的时候,被欺负了。
苏卡达那国现在颁布了指令:逮捕所有的汉人。
When Chen Li heard this, he couldn't believe it. The imperial court just released the "Nanyang Treaty" a few months ago, and now there are people daring to defy its authority?
He immediately told Zheng Zhilong about this matter. Zheng Zhilong was just worried about finding someone to establish their authority. When he heard Chen Li finish speaking, he was suddenly shocked.
Wow, is Sukhada so cooperative with us?
If we don't extinguish it, we would feel sorry for their good intentions. It's a bit embarrassing!
Luzon Island is still some distance away from Bohai Island, as well as from Java, Sumatra, and Malaysia Islands. Luzon Island is located in the northeast of the South China Sea, not far from Taiwan.
So, Zheng Zhilong did not have deep involvement in the events happening in the countries of Nanyang this year. He was solely focused on construction, wholeheartedly building a new society for the Great Ming. Translated:
For example, the establishment of trade routes and measures to support goods, etc.
他在投靠朝廷之前,就是个生意人,对这些当然是非常上心。
十一月十二日,郑芝龙征调了30艘舰群,在那些商人的带领下,从马尼拉出发,一路抵达苏卡达那国的海港。
As November approaches, not only is the nation of Sukadana arresting Chinese merchants everywhere, but also Machen, Sanfa, and Landak are arresting Chinese merchants.
Even the country of Bandar has also begun to close its seas.
十一月十二日,一队队万丹国军队出现在海港,军官下令,逮捕所有汉商。
甚至还扣押了一批商船,其中还打算对国营商社的商船动手,好在国营商社的商船都是配置有火炮的,那些商船得意逃脱。
For a while, panic spread among the people on the sea, and many Han merchants fled from Malacca and Batavia.
十一月十九日,一些汉商被逮捕的消息传到巴达维亚。
"Wandan nation dared to go against our people!" Xue Bin felt somewhat incredulous.
It should be noted that Batavia City had just been captured by the Ming Army a few months ago, and the Ming Army even presented compensation conditions to the WanDan country. Translated: "
万丹国当时老老实实的,态度温和的像一只兔子。
到了十一月,竟然开始逮捕汉商。
“薛大人,杨昆在外面求见。”
"Let him in."
Yang Kun entered the Governor's Mansion: "My Lord."
"Yang, please have a seat."
杨昆坐下来,薛彬从办公桌上拿起一份精致的文档,说道:“杨兄,你的任命书已经下来了,元帅签字盖章的。”
Yang Kun hurriedly took it and opened it excitedly, saying, "Thank you, Marshal, for your trust. Thank you, Mr. Xue, for your trust."
"The court has issued new regulations. The Ministry of Personnel will soon send officials to Malacca City to conduct an assessment of all officials in positions of trust. The officials from the Ministry of Personnel represent the Emperor, who has always been concerned about the Han people in Nanyang. The Emperor hopes that all officials in positions of trust are upright individuals like Brother Yang."
"You are too kind, I... I have come not to bring an appointment letter, but to report a very important matter to you."
"What is it?"
"The Haiport of Wandan Kingdom is currently arresting Han merchants."
“这件事我知道了,我会尽快采取行动,好好教训万丹国。”
“大人,事情没有这么简单,我收到密报,万丹国这几个月都在筹集大量的陆军,王都做了许多战时工事。”
"Are you saying that they have planned and prepared to wage war against us?"
"Sir, I believe they are not intending to wage war against us. They want to lure us into landing and lead us into attacking them."
Xue Bin exclaimed, "This is strange! Why would they lure us to land and attack them? What benefit does it bring to them?"
After saying this, Xue Bin suddenly realized,"They must think that the reason we were able to defeat their navy is because we have powerful warships. They believe that we are not adept at land warfare?"
这就是鲁班面前玩斧头了。
华夏打陆战,那是有着数千年的经验的。
Throughout the history of mankind, the tactics of land warfare, those deceitful strategies, have been repeatedly staged on Chinese soil for thousands of years.
Ming Army: Our naval warfare is indeed strong, but our land warfare is the true champion!
Yang Kun said, "I do not rule out this possibility, but I think there is another possibility."
"What possibility?"
“下官的人在马打兰王国还打听到了消息,数月之前,马打兰王国政变,新国王登基,海港出现了不少战船,人们看到了一些西夷人的踪影。”
“西夷人!”薛彬瞳孔收缩起来,“你的意思是……”
"That's right, the lower-ranking official believes that the Kingdom of Mataram and the Sultanate of Banten have formed an alliance. They are secretly conscripting troops and preparing to sandwich Batavia between the East and the West."
"You said the western barbarians appeared in the Kingdom of Madalang. Are they the secretive western barbarians from Batavia?"
"Probably not, the western barbarians in the city couldn't possibly escape your eyes, sir."
"Right."
Yang Kun looked at Xue Bin, his eyes filled with hesitation and an unspoken desire to speak.
"Brother Yang, it seems like you have something else to tell me?"
"Xue sir, there's something I've been thinking about, and I've decided to tell you after all." Translated: "
"What is it?"
About Su Minggang's matter.
What happened?
Actually, before the Wang Army entered the city, the Red Barbarians and Su Minggang were waiting for reinforcements. William claimed that reinforcements would arrive, so their surrender was just a delaying tactic. I have known about this for a long time. Su Minggang told me personally. I'm sorry for telling you this now.
Xue Bin looked at Yang Kun and said, "Yang, logically speaking, you are closer to Su Minggang and the others. You could have kept this matter from me. Why are you telling me now?"
Yang Kun forced a smile and said, "To be honest, when I learned about the Ming South Sea Treaty, my loyalty shifted towards the court. I wanted to do something for the court."
"Excellent! Brother Yang, the court will not disappoint you!"
这时,外面的人又进来了:“大人,满剌加城元帅府送来情报。”
