In the country of Bo Ni in Borneo, Wang Guichen spent the Mid-Autumn Festival happily. He also accepted Mo Liang's suggestion and found someone to trim his pair of inverted eyebrows to make his iconic eyebrows look more realistic. Two sharp swords.
Then, he handed over the Balni Kingdom to the two thousand army troops who came across the sea.
Da Qin only had one or two thousand troops stationed in places such as Luzon, Borneo, and Java, and mainly relied on local servants to clear out the natives on the islands.
Only in Jiaozhi and Dongwu do relatively larger armies remain, but only between 5,000 and 10,000 each. Using barbarians to control barbarians and using natives to eliminate natives is more effective than sending a large number of Qin troops into these areas. In fact, there is no need to garrison too many troops.
After the handover was clear, Wang Guichen took 20 large and small warships and more than a thousand people and sailed eastward, exploring along the Java Sea south of Borneo. It is said that Westerners have explored eastward before, and there is indeed There is a huge landmass.
On the current map of Da Qin, that huge piece of land is marked as Nanhua Continent.
The purpose of Wang Guichen's trip was to find and explore South China and officially incorporate it into the territory of Great Qin.
Before leaving, Wang Guichen collected as much information as possible on South China. It is said that there are only some Maori people there, who are primitive tribes and still live a life of eating hair and drinking blood.
On the warship facing the east wind, Mo Liang bragged unabashedly to the sailors on the ship: "You don't know, I have found out clearly that there is a big rat in South China, it is very scary... . . .”
"Old Mo, how scary is it?"
"Yes, yes, Lao Mo, if this big rat is so scary, why do you still smile so evilly? Hehe, you can tell at a glance that you are deceiving us."
"Yes, yes. Don't believe it, don't believe it."
"Look at you ignorant people, don't believe it. This kind of strange big rat is as tall as a person. It has a pocket on its body and a long tail. It grabs people and stuffs them into their pockets and then runs away. They only use two Walking on one foot, jumping ten feet when running, and screaming... Well, it's almost like a woman's voice, you can imagine it for yourself."
After hearing this, Lieutenant General Li Sangui interjected with a chuckle: "Mo Liang, is the sound of a woman's vagina scary? You must be suffering from impotence and premature ejaculation, hahaha..."
Mo Liang suddenly felt like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and screamed: "You are the second in charge of the house, and you are impotent and prematurely ejaculated! I..."
"That shit, you said how scary the kangaroo is, but then you said its scream is the same as the sound of a woman's vagina. In other words. Doesn't it mean you are afraid of the voice of a woman's vagina? Hahaha... . . ”
The sailors on the ship burst into laughter. Mo Hao was also the captain after all. How could he bear this? He chased and kicked the sailors. But the more this happened, the more everyone laughed.
Li Sangui continued to add fuel to the fire: "Mo Liang, damn it, if you are not impotent and have premature ejaculation, you are afraid that others will tell you something. If you are really good at it, go to the cabin and pull a girl out immediately, and try it on the spot for everyone to see. Is that enough?”
"That's right. That's right."
"Mo Fleet, how about I go down and help you choose one."
"Go to hell, I don't need you to choose? I'll go down by myself..." Mo Liang was so angry that he walked towards the hatch. Halfway through, he realized that he had almost been tricked by Li Sangui. , turned around and said with a smile, "Second Master, I suddenly remembered something. Last time in Luzon, you dragged that Spanish horse into the room. Damn it, you came out with your pants up before I finished pooping. Yes, I have been keeping this a secret for you."
"Save your head!" Li Sangui was furious and was about to rush over to deal with this guy who was spreading rumors as if they were true.
The ship was filled with laughter and joy again. Wang Guichen in the command ship was too lazy to take care of it.
Navy soldiers have been wandering at sea for many years, fighting against wind and waves, with small space for activities and a boring life. Therefore, they can choose some beautiful indigenous women to bring on board for everyone's entertainment to relieve everyone's depression.
In fact, before the Song Dynasty, there were basically prostitutes in the army, but they were usually not allowed to take women with them when going on expeditions.
Considering the special nature of the navy, the court did not explicitly stipulate it, but the military officials turned a blind eye to women in the navy.
In fact, when the army conquers an enemy country, it does not necessarily prohibit soldiers from touching the enemy's women. Women have always been regarded as one of the trophies of conquering enemy countries.
In addition to fighting the storm, Wang Guichen's trip theoretically would not encounter any powerful enemies, so everyone seemed relatively relaxed. This was a journey of discovery, with the goal: to carry the dragon flag of Da Qin to the South China Continent. On the land, announce to the world that this is the territory of Great Qin.
Navigating the windy sea in the Indian Ocean is not so easy. The situation here is very complicated. The British, Dutch, Portuguese, Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, small tribal countries in the south, and the powerful Mughal dynasty in the north , and even the Ottoman Empire that may be involved.
In short, the various forces in India are complex, like a mess. In addition to some information provided by merchant ships that came to India in the past, there is also information provided by prisoners of war from Western countries captured in various naval battles.
On the huge treasure ship that serves as the command ship, there is a spacious command cabin and a huge combat sand table. Staff officer Li Yinglong held a wooden stick and pointed at the sand table while explaining to everyone:
"From the information provided by the prisoners, we have marked the sphere of influence of the Western countries in India on the sand table. Generals, please take a look. The first is Portugal. They are the first European country to arrive in India;
They landed at Kozhikode in Kerala and captured Goa. Afterwards, Portugal once controlled almost all the coastal areas on the east and west sides of India, and then gained control of Ceylon in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.
Portugal successively established trading outposts in Goa, Daman, Diu, and Dadra Nagar Haveli, and used Goa as the Portuguese Viceroyalty in India.
Then came the Dutch, and most of the areas originally controlled by Portugal were captured by the Dutch, including the main port of Ceylon. Portugal currently has only one colony in India, Goa.
The Dutch currently control various ports on the southeastern coast of India, including trading posts near the mouth of the Ganges River.
The last to arrive were the British. They landed in Surat and later received permission from the Mughal emperor to establish trading posts in Calcutta and Madras. The British used military relief to buy goods for the conquest of central and southern India. Some firearms of the small Mughal dynasty are gradually entering the political core of the Mughal dynasty, with great ambitions. "
After counselor Li Yinglong finished speaking, Hai Rufeng continued: "If we go by normal circumstances, if we send troops to India this time, we only need to target the Dutch first and seize Ceylon, as well as all the Dutch colonies and trading ports in India.
But the current situation is that the army led by Aurangzeb, the fourth son of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, is winning steadily with the support of British weapons. The small Hindu countries in central and southern India have been defeated again and again. , if we do not intervene, these small countries may soon be wiped out by Orangzebu.
This is something that His Majesty does not want to see. According to His Majesty's request, various sects must coexist on the Indian continent, each claiming its own side. In particular, India cannot be fully Islamicized.
Therefore, our trip is not only to attack the Dutch, but also to support the small Hindu countries in the south to fight against the Mughals. In this way, there may be another war with the British, who have closer trade ties with the Mughals. "
The deputy admiral said: "It is not difficult for us to seize one or several Dutch trading ports in the southeast. According to the priority, we can temporarily avoid a full-scale conflict with the Dutch. Here, Cuttack, and here, Chennai. And again It’s Thanjavur in the south;
After controlling the trading ports in these three places, we will use this as a basis to support the small Hindu countries in the south to fight against the Mughal army. In the process, we will gradually control these small countries.
After the situation in central and southern India stabilizes, we will use these small countries as pawns to fight a big war in India, go north to attack the Mughal Dynasty, and completely expel the Dutch at sea. "
Du Qianshi Renzhong frowned and asked: "General Ke, how do you plan to help these small countries in the south? Are you going to let Da Qin's marines go ashore to help them fight?"
Hai Rufeng shook his head and said: "This won't work. Even if we want to help these small countries, we can't let ourselves fall into it."
Staff officer Li Yinglong said: "The British mainly provide weapons to the Mughal Dynasty. We can do this. Daqin is now gradually replacing Type 69 flintlock rifles. The original muskets, swords, guns and arrows can be shipped and sold to these Small countries can even sell Sky Thunder to them at a high price;
As long as we have a stable base for Zhentian Lei, we can produce it here. Anyway, this kind of weapon does not have much technical content. The Dutch have already imitated it. It will only be a matter of time for other countries to imitate it in the future. We don't want to make a lot of money with it. One stroke. "
