The Sixth Legion was established to assist the First Legion in defending the capital Orich. Now, with officers and soldiers, it was very smooth to form the formation.

However, considering that the Sixth Legion needs to guard Orich alone when necessary, because the First Legion may have to go south to rescue the Second Legion or east to rescue the Third Legion. Therefore, Marlin felt a little uneasy.

After all, in the city of Orich, he had the greatest concern in the world. The main force of the Sixth Legion was the Scottish surrendered soldiers, and Marin did not trust them very much. If the Sixth Legion mutinized while defending the city alone, his dear Angela and his son Caesar would be in trouble.

After thinking about it for a while, Marin made an adjustment - the Sixth Legion's plan to form the Sixth Legion remains unchanged, but the one who assisted the First Legion to guard Orich became the Second Legion, which was originally stationed in the Ruhr area. The Sixth Legion exchanged with the Second Legion and stationed in the Ruhr area.

Marin thought that although the Ruhr area is important, no one could see the importance of the Ruhr area before he promoted honeycomb coal and steam engines. Therefore, there is no need to send elite troops like the Second Legion to garrison. New recruits like the Sixth Legion are capable of defending the Ruhr area.

Moreover, the Sixth Legion is not a legion consisting of new recruits. After adjustment, the soldiers of the Sixth Legion were composed of 7,000 Scottish surrendered soldiers and 3,000 North Sea veterans. In addition, the middle-level officers are all skilled veteran officers, and the combat effectiveness of this legion is not low.

The only thing I was worried about was that the 7,000 Scottish surrenders from the Sixth Legion would mutinate and demand to return to their hometown Scotland. Therefore, Marin did not place them in the capital Orich, nor did he switch them to Schleswig. Because these two places were very close to the sea. Once the Scottish surrenders mutiny, they could quickly fight to the beach and seize the ship and flee back to their hometown.

After they were transferred to the Ruhr area, they had no chance to take the ship back to their country. Although there were no shortage of ships on the Rhine, those ships were basically small river boats and were not enough to sail on the North Sea. Therefore, placing the Sixth Army in the Ruhr area would help make the Scottish surrendered soldiers calm down. This was just the early days. By the time these Scottish surrendered soldiers got used to the rules and training of the Sixth Army. At that time, with such a large amount of training every day, they would have no intention of thinking about anything else.

The capital, Orich, was stationed in two powerful corpses, the First Legion and the Second Legion, and Marin could leave for the Ming Dynasty with confidence.

...

But before leaving, Marilin took a special trip to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, and signed a Treaty of Lisbon with Portugal King Manuel I.

This Lisbon Treaty mainly stipulates the issue of the ownership of Dongfan Island in detail. Marin will use Dongfan Island as a springboard to carry out exchanges with the Ming Dynasty.

However, he was worried that Portugal would make trouble in the future on the grounds that "Dongfan Island belonged to the Ming Dynasty and should belong to Portugal." Therefore, he specially went to Lisbon in advance and agreed with Manuel I to the ownership of the Dongfan Island, leaving evidence in black and white. In this way, the Portuguese would not be able to say anything in the future.

This is mainly because the treaty signed in Rome stipulated that the Ming Dynasty was the colonial sphere of influence of Portugal. At present, Dongfan Island is not under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty. Once Marin let Dongfan Island join the Ming Dynasty in the future, it may cause diplomatic disputes. Therefore, Marin signed such an agreement with the Portuguese before departure to block the Portuguese's mouth.

In order to show sincerity, Malin also took out the general map of the Ming Dynasty and the navigation route map in exchange.

In fact, early last year, the Portuguese stole navigation charts from Columbus and Conte and sent a ship to the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, they also found out that there was a huge reserve of tin mine near Kuala Lumpur, the Kingdom of Malacca...

The Portuguese did not know that it was Marin who deliberately let them leak it to Portugal, and they thought they had stolen a huge secret. Moreover, in terms of interests, if Portugal seized Malacca, it would indeed make a lot of profit.

Therefore, Manuel I agreed to sign the contract easily. After all, he was guilty and thought he had taken advantage of Marin.

Calculate the time, the fleet sent by Portugal to the Ming Dynasty should also return. I just don’t know how much profit I can make this time, Manuel I was full of longing for huge profits...

However, Manuel I didn't know that his fleet had indeed arrived in Malacca and also went to Guangzhou. Unfortunately, the Portuguese were not upright and planned to invade and conquer from the beginning. Therefore, the fleet sent out this time suffered a great loss...

...

The story starts with the batch of guns and cannons that Marin gave to the Kingdom of Malacca...

At the beginning, Columbus was ordered to send a batch of combs and Franco cannons to the Kingdom of Malacca. Although Columbus embezzled half of the corrupt officials, his other half also had 100 combs and 10 Franco cannons.

The Portuguese sent a total of 10 warships. After arriving in India, they first met with the Spanish-Portugal Union and the fleet.

Then, Manuel I's special envoy found that there was indeed a Kingdom of Malacca in the southeast of India. Moreover, it is said that a large tin mine was discovered in the Kingdom of Malacca...

All this was exactly the same as what Conte said. So, the Portuguese Envoy Ricardo decisively ordered the Spanish-Portuguese Union and the 12 warships in the fleet to follow him to conquer the Kingdom of Malacca...

In this way, 22 Portuguese warships, loaded with more than 2,000 Portuguese sailors, arrived at the port outside Malacca City and launched an attack without saying a word.

...

At the beginning, the Kingdom of Malacca was indeed in chaos, and the Malacca people in the city were in chaos. If the Portuguese sailors took the opportunity to attack the city immediately, they might have been able to successfully attack.

Unfortunately, because the Portuguese were unsure, they first carried out saturation shelling of the city of Malacca, and did not immediately let the sailors rush into the city while they took advantage of the chaos. After all, they had inquired in India that the Kingdom of Malacca had more than 30,000 soldiers. Such a huge scale made the Portuguese a little weak after hearing this. Therefore, they planned to shell the city first to defeat the will of the Malacca people.

...

In fact, when they started shelling, the people of Malacca were indeed in chaos, and even stampede accidents occurred in the city.

However, the Portuguese shelled for a long time and did not send sailors to launch a ground attack. Finally, the Malacca people in the city recovered...

At this moment, Malacca Sultan Mahmood, who was originally extremely panicked, suddenly remembered - isn't it just a gun? I also have...

Then, a Shenji Camp (imitating the name of the Ming Dynasty) trained outside the city was transferred back to the city wall...

When the Matchmen and gunners of the Malacca Divine Machinery Camp were deployed on the wall facing the port, the Portuguese sailors finally launched a ground attack.

But the Portuguese came at this time. The 100 musketeers of the Shenji Camp in Malacca, relying on the city wall, caused great casualties to the charging Portuguese. However, the proportion of musketeers of Portuguese sailors was relatively low, with only more than 300 people.

If there is a field battle, the Musketeers, more Portuguese sailors, will definitely have the advantage. But now they are the siege, and the Malacca Shenji Camp is the siege guarding the city... Then, the Portuguese suffered a loss...

After leaving four hundred corpses, the Portuguese retreated in a mess. It was not until midnight that they dared to send someone to secretly collect the corpses for their comrades...

So, this time the Portuguese attack failed...
