    "Huang Taiji is dead."

    Ding Yunyi suddenly said something for no reason.

    "Ah, what?" Qin Yun beside him didn't react for a moment.  .

    "Huang Taiji is dead." Ding Yunyi repeated his words again.

    "How did third brother know?"

    Qin Yun asked, and then he realized that it was probably the people from the Golden Sword Guard who had brought the news.

    Ding Yunyi smiled and said nothing more.

    Huang Taiji is dead. It is August of the 16th year of Chongzhen. Emperor Chongzhen will soon be leaving.  This Ming Dynasty¡¯s innocence is really going to change.

    But there are still Tiger Guards in Fujian, and there is Ding Yunyi who is determined to turn the tide!

    This Ming Dynasty cannot be destroyed!

    "In two years, our Huben Guards have expanded to 300,000 elite troops, built countless warships, and cannons. Although money has been flowing out, a huge army has been established. But I don't know that the third brother is preparing for a decisive battle with the rogue bandits.  Or a decisive battle with the Manchus?" Qin Yun asked smoothly.

    Ding Yunyi smiled again: "Why can't we fight both sides?"

    "What, a decisive battle between two sides?" Qin Yun was surprised: "Well, I'm afraid you are not strong enough, right?" "I'm just joking." Ding Yunyi said perfunctorily: "In short, no matter what happens, let the brothers  Get ready."

    At this time, Ding Yunyi was already ready for the decisive battle.

    But he is still waiting for the best opportunity to come to light,

    Two years have passed by in a blink of an eye, and too many things have happened during these two years.  One hundred and twenty-seven rebellions, large and small, occurred in Japan. Countless Japanese died in these rebellions. The rebellion did not gradually subside until the sixteenth year of Chongzhen.

    Since the end of the 14th year of Chongzhen, Ding Yunyi has begun to immigrate to Japan in a planned way.

    Those who are willing to immigrate have received strong support from Ding Yunyi without exception.  The whole of Japan cannot be conquered by suppression alone. Transforming Japan into the Ming Dynasty is obviously a good choice.

    The conflict between the new immigrants and the old forces is inevitable, but it is nothing more than labor pains.  The most difficult period was obviously during the fifteenth year of Chongzhen's reign.

    There have been many incidents of armed fighting between new immigrants and indigenous people.  But those new immigrants behaved horribly.  Some of them even had muskets.

    Aboriginal people have died many times due to armed fighting. When a complaint was filed with the government, the government's attitude was still relatively ambiguous.

    They often protect new immigrants. In cases where someone fights to death, the best they can do is to send the murderer back to the country.  But it won't be long before these people will appear in Japan again.

    Only one was promoted. Ling Zhiren, the magistrate who had just been sent to Japan, was only 21 years old when he took office. Hai Rui, a young and energetic official who wanted to learn from the Ming Dynasty, decided to perform well no matter where he went.  Come out with your own integrity.

    It was his turn to be in trouble. On the second day after he took office, a large-scale fighting incident occurred in Mingtian County under his rule.

    More than 100 new immigrants and more than 300 indigenous people participated in this fight.  Although the number of new immigrants was small, they used muskets again at the critical moment of the fighting, killing eight natives on the spot.

    The lawsuit was brought to Ling Zhiren.

    Eight people died, which Ling Zhiren thought was a big case.  Ling Zhiren did not dare to be careless, so he immediately sent out government officials to arrest the criminal and personally inspect the scene.

    There is actually nothing complicated about the case, and it is clear at a glance.

    The new immigrants did not deny their murder in court. Ling Zhiren saw that the case was clear and the criminals readily confessed. He immediately sentenced the culprit to Qiu Hou and beheaded the others and all the others were sentenced to imprisonment. The aborigines felt proud for the first time.

    The name "Ling Qingtian" is actually spread among Japanese people.

    There were three people sentenced to death. The leader was originally from Shandong, named Hou Fangzheng, and later moved to Taiwan. After Wu Liehou's relocation mobilization order was issued, he was the first to sign up to move.

    When he was sentenced to death, he had no fear at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Master Ling's sentence is really fair. Master Ling is a good official, but it's a pity that this is not Fujian." Ling Zhiren didn't know what the other party meant, but  Hou Fangzheng also closed his mouth and said nothing.

    Only a few days after the verdict, Japanese governor Su Yang Qiuyuan actually summoned Ling Zhiren in person.  For a small county magistrate, it was a great honor to be summoned by the governor.

    After seeing Su Yang seeking a chance to marry, the governor was very polite and asked about the general situation of Mingtian County, and then asked about the incident.Feeling passionate, he suddenly said slowly: "Ling County is a good official, but it's a pity that this is Japan."

    Ling Zhiren was stunned. Why were these words exactly the same as what Hou Fangzheng said?

    "In Fujian, Lingxian must be a rare good official, but in Japan, Lingxian is a bit unqualified to be an official." Su Yang Qiuyuan smiled and said: "Actually, before Lingxian arrived in Japan, it happened countless times  After such a thing happened, most local officials turned a blind eye. Ling County thinks it's because they are not as capable as you, or because they are corrupt? "

    "This." Ling Zhiren didn't know how to answer.

    "Why did Marquis Wu Lie want to immigrate on such a large scale? I'm afraid Ling County has never thought about this." Su Yang Qiuyuan's words did not contain much blame: "Japan is our newly acquired province, and everything is in ruins.  , and we have experienced a lot of resistance here, large and small. How can we completely use Japan to our advantage? Repression alone cannot fundamentally solve the human problem. "

    Ling Zhiren is a smart man, and he quickly understood the meaning of Fushuai's words.

    To truly turn Japan into the Japan of the Ming Dynasty, large-scale immigration and gradually invading the power of the indigenous people are obviously a long-term but effective method.

    Being an official here does not require you to be fair, but requires you to complete the tasks assigned by Marquis Wulie to the letter.

    He also gradually figured out why the new immigrants had so many muskets.

    These muskets were obviously distributed to them deliberately by some force.

    And there is only one person standing behind this force

    Ling Zhiren is a smart young man. Under Su Yang Qiuyuan's enlightenment, he quickly understood what should be done.  After returning to Mingtian County, the first thing he did was to release the imprisoned new immigrants.  He also revised his judgment and expelled Hou Fangzheng and others back to Taiwan.

    When Hou Fangzheng and others left, they took nothing with them except simple baggage. All their family property was left in Mingtian County. Ling Zhiren went to see them off in person.

    When bidding farewell, Ling Zhiren said meaningfully: "I wonder when I can see you all again?" "I'm afraid it won't even take sixty days." Hou Fangzheng smiled slightly and said: "Round after round 1

    Group after group, we people will take root in Japan sooner or later.  "

    Sooner or later, those of us will take root in Japan.

    This is a promise, and it is also an oath.

    There are many young officials like Ling Zhiren who were sent to Japan. Most of them stayed in Japan for more than three years and were later transferred to other places, such as Ling Zhiren.  After accumulating sufficient experience in Japan, he was transferred to Malacca three years later and served as the associate director of the Malacca Governor's Office.

    Malacca, like Batavia, has become the territory owned by Ding Yunyi.

    The expedition started in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen and lasted until the fifteenth year of Chongzhen.  During this period, there were countless fierce battles between the two sides, and Hongyi and Folangji continued to mobilize troops for reinforcements.  Even the Ganrasi people joined the battle.

    The Ganrasi people came to avenge Luzon Island.

    They are not willing to lose Luzon just like that, but the Spain of today is no longer the Spain of the past, and the once powerful empire is in rapid decline.  Facing Luzon, they could no longer take it back with their own strength.

    And using the power of Hongyi and Franji seems to be a good way. As long as the enemy can be stopped in Malacca or Batavia, the enemy may be defeated.

    The Spaniards had a wishful thinking, but Ding Yunyi had already made plans in Batavia.

    In October of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, a large-scale Chinese uprising broke out in Batavia, and the leader of Qiwen was none other than Han Heyu, the golden sword guard who had made great changes in Batavia before.

    There was a fierce battle on the front line, but a large-scale uprising suddenly broke out in the rear. This was a huge blow to Hongyi, which forced Hongyi to deploy troops to deal with the terrible arrow uprising.

    But the Great Uprising does not seem to be that easy to extinguish.

    These insurgents were armed with firearms and had perfect command.  Facing the fierce counterattack of the Hongyi army, they firmly occupied several strategic points and continued to deal with the Hongyi.

    What they want is not immediate victory, but to use an uprising to directly provide the most powerful support to the Huben Guards soldiers fighting on the front line.

    At the same time, the expedition fleet commanded by Ye Dahai also began to strengthen its offensive.

    After losing control of the sea, Hongyi seemed very passive, although there were twoReinforcement fleets from the country and a Spanish fleet entered the battle, but they were quickly defeated by the Tiger Guard Navy.

    For Batavia, the Netherlands is too far away from them, while Fujian is too close to them.

    The naval forces of Huben Guards can receive reinforcements anytime and anywhere, and any losses can be replenished as soon as possible.  They don't care how much time they spend fighting the enemy.

    At the end of October of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, after the Batavia Uprising broke out, the Huben Guards began to conduct landing operations.

    Hongyi tried their best to block the enemy's advance, but they were more than capable.  In the face of the Tiger Guards' progressive attacks, their doom has gradually arrived.

    The uprisings that echoed the landings of Batavia and Hubenwei also greatly shaken the Hongyi. By mid-November, the Hongyi found it difficult to continue to persevere.

    The new governor of Batavia, Opie, began to seek negotiations with the Ming Dynasty, but the conditions proposed by the Ming army were really difficult for Opie to accept.

    The Ming army demanded that Batavia surrender immediately and unconditionally, but how is this possible?  Batavia is a very important chess piece for the Netherlands and cannot be lost under any circumstances.

    But the Ming army seemed to have lost interest in continuing negotiations with Hongyi. After a brief adjustment, the offensive was further strengthened.

    A large number of artillery arrived and began to bombard Batavia, and the rebels in Batavia immediately began to fight back. The situation in Batavia was precarious, and the city could be breached at any time.

    Opie is still a conscientious officer, and he will never give up here until the last moment.  He armed and mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized in the city.

    The battle raged fiercely, and large-scale casualties began to appear in Batavia.

    Opie and the red barbarian soldiers in Batavia never thought that the Ming Dynasty's artillery had become so sharp. The shells ruthlessly destroyed Batavia, and the artillery fire shrouded Batavia terrifyingly.

    Deaths continued to appear, and the wails of the wounded continued to pierce Hongyi's heart and shaken Hongyi's determination to resist.

    At the most critical moment, Opie sent his envoy again and asked the Ming army to stop the bombardment for ten days, so that Batavia could have time to treat the wounded.

    Ye Dahai was dumbfounded. What kind of request was this?

    Opie¡¯s suggestion was flatly rejected.

    Rather than stopping, the shelling intensified.  Gradually, the voice that Governor Opie least wanted to hear began to appear in Batavia: Surrender!

    Opie knew that Batavia's confidence had been shaken, and it was difficult for him to continue to hold on without continued domestic support.

    As a proud Dutch officer, surrender was something he couldn't bear, but reality had to prompt him to do so.

    In December, the Batavia rebels began a large-scale counterattack, quickly defeated several red barbarian armies, and successfully occupied several strategic locations for red barbarian defense.

    There is no hope that Ren Tong can continue to hold on.

    Opie sent his envoy for the third time. He told Ye Dahai that he was willing to lead Batavia to surrender, but the prerequisite was that the safety of the lives and property of all Dutch people in Batavia must be guaranteed.

    Ye Dahai agreed to his request.

    On December 28, the 14th year of Chongzhen, the Dutch Governor of Batavia, Opie, announced his surrender, and the Ming army entered Batavia. The city of Batavia was included in the territory of the Ming Empire.

    Subsequently, Ding Yunyi quickly transferred a large number of officials into Batavia and took over the city.

    Beginning in January of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Ming Dynasty officials began to expel local red barbarians on a large scale. This period was known as the "Dutch Batavia Disaster"

    The deportation operation lasted until June of that year.

    Ding Yunyi¡¯s purpose is very simple and clear. He must firmly control Batavia in his own hands and use it to create a steady stream of wealth for himself.

    Compared to Batavia, Malacca¡¯s attack operations were not so smooth.  It was not until February of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen that the Ming army commanded by Cai Jiuzhou began to land in Malacca.

    Although the process is a bit more difficult, after all, victory is already in hand.

    It was from Malacca that the Falangji people got a relatively real impression of China, and the steps towards China also started from Malacca.

    After Vasco da Gama¡¯s fleet arrived at Kozhikode in present-day Kozhikode, Kerala, in the southwest of the Indian peninsula, they systematically collected geographical and humanistic information about Asia on a large scale, with the main target being China in the Far East.??

    In 1512, the Folangji people who conquered Malacca bribed 55 Chinese shipowners and began to plan a plan to go to China.

    The Portuguese were interested in the wealth of the Ming Empire, and imagined that China could easily fall into the hands of the Francois like Malacca. Although after hundreds of years of coming to the coast of China, they discovered that the Ming Empire was not something that Portugal could swallow up in one go.  Although the occupation of Malacca did start the most "splendid" history of the Portuguese maritime empire.

    The Ming court learned that Malacca had been occupied in 1520, nine years after Malacca fell into the hands of the Folangji people.  In the past nine years, the footsteps of the Flemish people have already crossed the South China Sea and entered the coast of Guangdong, China.

    If it had not been for the impudence of the Folangji people and the envoy Muhammad of Prince Bintang of Malacca, who came to Beijing and sent Malacca's letter of request for help to the Ministry of Rites, Malacca would have fallen into the hands of the Folangji people.  Being kept in the dark.  However, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty had long lost the ability to solve the matter. This absurd monarch died after being ill for three months.  However, under the advice of a group of ministers at the time, they finally responded to the fall of Malacca: Folangji was not allowed to pay tribute. At the same time, Pires and his party, who were the Portuguese envoys to China, were taken to Guangzhou in the spring and summer of the same year and returned to Malacca as tribute.  The hostages in Liujia territory were thrown into prison.

    Faced with repeated requests for help from the Malacca court, the Ming court declared that it required Portugal to return Malacca, otherwise it would detain the mission until Malacca was returned.  This method of detaining envoys to deal with the armed occupation of the Francois is undoubtedly a sign of incompetence and a lack of international ocean views.

    But after all, the Ming Dynasty had no military presence in Southeast Asia, and its tributary relationship with Southeast Asian countries was just a political commitment letter to each other, which was feeble.  When kings like Zheng He disappeared in Southeast Asia, the Ming Dynasty's weak diplomatic words and negotiations could not save Malacca from its fate.

    But now the Tiger Guards¡¯ army has arrived!

    In February, as the Tiger Guards landed in Malacca in large numbers, Franco Soko, the governor of Malacca who was stationed in Malacca, knew that he could no longer save Malacca's fate.

    Negotiations lasted for about twenty days. After some of his demands were met, Franco announced the surrender of Malacca.

    Malujia was incorporated into the Ming Dynasty in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen.

    The victory of Batavia and Malacca is a very important part of Ding Yunyi's entire plan. Now there is no strong force around Ding Yunyi.

    The great conqueror Ding Yunyi!

    He has successfully established a sphere of influence with Fujian as the center, which is completely controlled by himself. Now he can safely focus on the heart of the Central Plains.

    In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, the Manchu ruler Huang Taiji died, and the Ming Dynasty also came to the moment to decide its fate!
