Yanghe Road East Road.
After ventilating everyone in this way, Yang Shanlu began to reorganize the army next.
He now has a total of nearly one hundred thousand Xuanjia army. If he is not willing to leave his homeland, there are more than 10,000 people who are unwilling to leave his homeland. There are still 80,000 troops who are willing to follow him. , He brought the fifty thousand Xuanjia army that had been rectified, ready to go out again.
And this time it’s different from the previous mission to Goryeo. After taking Kalimantan Island, it will be his lair to operate and establish a new country, so the Xuanjia Army will be used as the town’s military force. Stayed there for a long time.
However, just before the expedition, his old father Yang Sichang actually sent the Flying Pigeon Biography, and he was looking forward to expressing whether he could go with the same expedition? After all, he can't wait to see... the place where he will be the emperor in the future.
However, Yang Sichang's eagerness was finally persuaded by Yang Shanlu, because Yang Shanlu knew very well that it was a good place, but the local aboriginals there were not kind people!
That was the birthplace of the Indian/Nigerian monkeys of later generations, a place where some'gangsters' and inferior nations live together! So he can only go there after he has completely taken it down and'purified' it.
And this time he went to Kalimantan Island, Yang Shanlu was also full of pride... This is to build a country, a new era is about to unfold in his hands!
In April of the 17th year of Chongzhen, after making sufficient preparations, Yang Shanlu led the Great China Fleet and carried the 50,000 Xuanjia Army, including all kinds of massive materials, grains, ammunition, etc., and began to move towards Kalimantan is on the way!
Kalimantan Island is about two to three thousand nautical miles away from Daming. After nearly 20 days of sailing, the Great China Fleet finally sailed to the northwest of Kalimantan Island and found a place to land there.
And there is a reason why Yang Shanlu chose to land in the northwest... Jakarta, the capital of the later Java monkeys, is dozens of kilometers ahead!
Ya//Jada is also known as Coconut City in later generations, the garden capital, is a very beautiful place, and later Javanese monkeys will choose to establish their capital here, and it must be a comparison. Throughout Kalimantan Island, the scenery here is unique.
So now Yang Shanlu chooses to land here, and will also set it as the capital of the country in the future, which is also logical (to avoid harmony, Jakarta will use Yecheng to refer to it later).
After landing, I felt that it was a good place, including the generals under Yang Shanlu... It is April. Thanks to the Little Ice Age, the temperature in the inland of Ming Dynasty is still slightly cooler. The climate here is But it was warm like spring and made people feel very comfortable, so many sweaters worn by soldiers on the expedition could be taken off.
Then they saw that the land under their feet was very fertile and suitable for cultivation, including various lush tropical fruit trees, which proved this.
And what’s particularly rare is that it is backed by a good seaport. The future development of ocean trade will occupy an innate advantage. Therefore, choosing to establish a country in such a good place, and even establish a capital, is far more than the previous cat in Yanghe Daodong. The inland barren area of the road is much better.
So next, the fifty thousand army formed a long snake formation (20 people in each row), and left and right, and a thousand special battalions were responsible for opening the way (to prevent attacks by the local indigenous people), and thus began to move towards Yecheng. Go ahead!
And after arriving on the island, just as Yang Shanlu had expected, the march this time was very easy. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was an armed parade.
Because Kalimantan Island did not form a unified country at this time (the later Java country did not declare independence until the August/Revolution in Java in 1945, and formally established that despicable and brutal country).
Therefore, at this time, the island of Kalimantan is occupied by hundreds of clans each occupying an area, and this form is distributed on this big golden egg.
Then the productivity of Kalimantan at this time is extremely backward, sitting on Baoshan and not knowing how to develop, so now the entire island has a total population of less than 10 million. On average, the population of each clan is only two to thirty thousand, and the military strength is not enough. It is one or two thousand people.
(Including that their weapons are still very backward at this time, most of them are bows and arrows made of bamboo. If there is a bird that is behind, it is a rare thing, so their combat effectiveness is conceivable, and the main thing is to prevent it. Their sneak attack).
So now that Yang Shanlu, the great white shark, rushed in, no clan can fight it, even if they all join together!
Because we can make a comparison here, in this era, the hands of the Dutch sambal fan reached here, and the East India/Dubai company was established on the island, which controlled a large area, and in the original history, the Netherlands Human rule will continue until Xiaori initiates a peaceful war and sends troops to occupy Kalimantan.
But think about it, a small country with a population of more than 40,000 square kilometers and a population of only a few million in the Netherlands can rule the entire Kalimantan Island for hundreds of years by sending thousands of Dutch people, let alone Yang Shanlu with all his strength. Take a shot.
Even the Hong Mao Fan at this time has already obediently got out of the big golden egg!
(At first, after taking Liuqiu Island, Yang Shanlu held the captives on the island, and told them to inform them of the red hairpins on the big golden egg, which is also the East India Company, so these red hairpins are now knowing After Yang Shanlu came here, he had to leave obediently... Otherwise, he would stay on the island and wait to die?)
So it can be said that given the situation on the Big Golden Egg Island, the resistance to occupy him is very weak.
It can even be said that in the process of Yangshan Lu's army, the biggest difficulty was not the resistance of the locals, but the local tropical rainforest... all kinds of animals and plants that have never been seen before, and even some poisonous flowers and plants, etc., after all, tropical The rainforest is still very rich in species.
However, this is not difficult for Yang Shanlu. Before he set off, he had already detailed the relevant knowledge of tropical rain forests, including some common species on the island, so everyone was still dealing with it properly.
"Haha, Lord Hou, this is really a good place!" In the afternoon of the next day, the army arrived at Yecheng and stationed in Yecheng. Cheng Wu, Xu Shicheng and other generals expressed this wish to him.
Even Qi Zhenzong, who had some doubts in his heart at the beginning, had an excited smile on his face... Because the products here are so rich! Even the vast majority of people have never seen it before! But that taste is so delicious!
Just like when they were marching, they saw dozens of species of birds, like cockatoos, great birds of paradise, three-toed kingfishers, etc. They were very beautiful.
Including in the middle of the road, they were lucky enough to run into a group of red deer (being chased by a Java leopard).
Anyway, according to Yang Shanlu’s introduction, I knew it was edible. The taste was similar to that of venison. It was very delicious. So after scaring away the Java leopard, I shot several heads, and after roasting it, I was full of mouthfuls. It's oily!
And Yang Shanlu smiled when he heard it: "Hehe, now I know, it's not that other places are barren land except for me, Daming! And where we came, that's a treasure!"
"That's right—follow the general, is there anything wrong with that!" At this time, Qianwanzi also came to him with a smile, and then his appetite was not large, so he didn't eat too much red deer meat, but he This time, I was holding a kind of fruit that he couldn't name, and I couldn't stop eating...
"Wow, it's so delicious, so sweet! The only thing I regret now is that I didn't come to such a place earlier!"
Then Qianlizi ate such sweet fruit (mangosteen), and then I confirmed it again. As Yang Shanlu told him before, there are more than a dozen kinds of delicious fruits on the island of Kalimantan. of! (Pitaya, rambutan, the famous durian, etc., and even the island's rich fruit resources, there are dozens of varieties of bananas alone).
And the kind of exotic fruits that grow in the tropical rainforest and are not yet known, there are more, so such a treasure...
But Yang Shanlu laughed when he heard it, so why did you just choose here because the world is so big? It is because of the unique conditions here!
For example, as far as Yang Shanlu knows, apart from the rich flora and fauna on the island (there are hundreds of species of wild animals, such as crested pochard, red-bellied eagle, lowland buffalo, black-necked crane, etc.), all kinds of natural Resources are also extremely rich.
For example, in the future Java country alone, his arable land is about 100 million mu! (According to the record of Emperor Ming Taizu, in the 24th year of Hongwu, the entire arable land of Ming Dynasty was only 400 million mu).
In addition, the climate on Golden Egg Island is warm (Kalimantan will be referred to as Golden Egg Island from now on), and there is plenty of sunshine, so the crop growth cycle is short, rice can be grown three times a year, and he removes the main staple rice, rice. In addition to corn and potatoes, there are other proprietary cash crops.
For example, palm oil, rubber, coffee, cocoa, etc., have huge economic value (in 2012, India and Nepal produced 28.5 million tons of palm oil, making it the world's largest palm oil producer!)
Including at this time, the forest coverage rate on Golden Egg Island is close to 50%, which is the third largest tropical forest country in the world, so the paper pulp, paper and other industries related to this can be worry-free.
In addition, as the world’s largest archipelago country, the subsequent Java country has a coastline of 81,000 kilometers and a water area of 5.8 million square kilometers. It has extremely rich fishery resources (over 7,000 species of marine fish). More than 8 million tons per year, including this one, Bagansia Biya, located on the east coast of Suma, is a world-famous fishing ground!
So, can anyone miss such a treasure? To be occupied by those inferior nations in later generations is really a violent thing, and now, here I am! (End of this chapter)
