Chapter 424: Java declares war on Ming Dynasty

A few months later, Java finally learned that its crown prince had been cut off by the Ming Dynasty and that other envoys in the country were detained.

It is conceivable how much the furious king of Java reached, not to mention that there is only one crown prince in Java.

But under this situation, the king of Java would not dare to launch a large-scale military service in the Ming Dynasty, so the king of Java could not do anything to the Ming Dynasty. When the Folangji fleet was entrusted by the Ming Dynasty court to redeem other Java envoys with ransom, the king of Java could only bear the pain and took out silver to redeem all the powerful people in his country.

The total total of about 100,000 silver dollars was entered into the Ministry of Revenue of the Ming Dynasty. Although it was only a drop in the profits earned by the Ming Dynasty in the entire foreign trade, earning the 100,000 silver dollars at the cost of the personal freedom of the messenger of the Java country was undoubtedly the lowest-cost transaction, and it was also the first redemption silver earned by the Ming Dynasty.

However, Java was not willing to admit defeat, although Java today could not take a military strike against the Ming Dynasty.

However, when Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty said that Java was the territory of the Song Dynasty and now it should be the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it was known to the king of Java, but Java became even more angry. He directly declared war on the Ming Dynasty, and announced the crime of Ming Dynasty killing the Crown Prince of Java and imprisoning its envoys for provoking the dignity of Java.

Of course, even though it declared war on the Ming Dynasty, the Javan Kingdom did not really want to send a navy to fight the Ming Dynasty directly. He did not have the courage to do so. He just found an excuse to attack the Han people in his country.

In short, on the day of the declaration of war, the king of Java immediately issued an order to advance. Tens of thousands of indigenous troops directly entered the Han gathering area of ​​the Han people in Java, and directly engaged in trading and living in this area to massacre Han immigrants.

The unarmed Han immigrants did not expect such an incident to come so suddenly, and many ordinary people were directly wiped out and countless women were even more likely to be killed.

Fortunately, the undercover agent of the Jinyiwei has already established his own intelligence station in Java. Therefore, when the king of Java declared war, the Jinyiwei immediately rushed to Guangdong and Guangxi to inform Heiwa, the first brigade general of the South China Sea Fleet stationed in Yongshu Reef of the Nansha Islands, and at the same time, he directly submitted Gu Sanmazi, the general of the South China Sea Fleet stationed in Hai'an. Of course, after arriving in Hai'an, he would naturally inform the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and His Majesty the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao.

The reason why Heiwa, as the closest Ming Navy to Java, has been stationed in Yongshu Reef is to make a quick response and respond immediately when he heard about the bloody massacre of Han people in Java or other Southeast Asian countries.

For this reason, Zhu Youxiao had issued an order long ago, and any Ming Navy stationed in Yongshu Reef could fight before notifying his superiors if there was an emergency.

So before the orders of the court and Gu Sanmazi and others, Heiwa and the First Navy Brigade of the South China Sea Fleet learned that Java declared war on the Ming Dynasty and intended to start another storm of slaughtering Han, Zhang Fan immediately attacked Java.

The First Brigade of the South China Sea Fleet is now equipped with a steam-powered iron-armored ship (but the surface of the ship is covered with iron sheets, not a strictly armored ship). The "Qi Jiguang" also has the latest development of the Ming Shipbuilding Bureau's fast but small steam-powered wooden ships with fifteen steamers, plus forty non-steam-powered hard sailboats in the Ming Dynasty, a total of fifty-six ships, and the combat power formed is no less than the strength of the entire Ming Navy before.

In a place called Mushuo Village, it is a Han gathering area at the northernmost end of the Indonesian archipelago. At this time, an indigenous army from Java had already entered the city.

Because indigenous oppression and massacre of Han people have occurred repeatedly over the years, the Han people have also organized their self-defense forces. After this indigenous army broke into the country, the Han self-defense forces in Mushuo Village immediately entered a state of combat, but after all, they were outnumbered. After three days of persistence, they began to be defeated. Indigenous troops rushed in and shot arrows directly when they saw a Han people. One of the Han boys who had no time to escape was stabbed more than a dozen times.

An old Han master who was still wearing a Confucian robe and seemed to have some knowledge cultivation was also forcibly hung on a tree. Under the old master who was hung with wide eyes, a large number of indigenous troops gathered here. They cheered and greedily glanced at Mushuo Village in front of them, under the wooden guns and hoes, and grinned, his smile was very creepy.

At this time, the flagship "Qi Jiguang" of the First Brigade of the Ming South China Sea Fleet in front had arrived. Without waiting for these indigenous armies to react, hundreds of artillery guns had poked their heads out of the gunship and began to aim at the indigenous army gathered under the old master.

There was a rumbling sound.

Countless artillery shells whistled towards here. The old master who was about to be hanged smiled and couldn't help but shout in his heart: "The King's Army has arrived!"

Boom!

Boom!

The old Master and the group of indigenous troops were directly blown to ashes, and the banyan tree that the old Master hung was bombarded and fell down.

The natives who were plundering from house to house in Mushuo Village could not help but turn around, but at this moment, there was another round of rapid fire shells, and the entire Mushuo Village was filled with rumbling sounds of cannons.

After half a quarter of an hour of bombardment, Heiwa waved his hand: "Stop the shelling, most of the enemy troops have been scattered into the village. When the shelling is fired, it will hurt innocent Han people. The Marine Corps immediately rush to land. All ships approach the coast and surround Mushuo Village. Once an enemy is found approaching, it will be fired immediately!"

As he said that, Heiwa reached out and said, "Gun!"

Then, a personal guard handed over a rifled rifle specially accompanied by the officer. Heiwa pulled the bolt and confirmed that the load was intact, he immediately ordered: "Prepare to put the boat on the shore!"

Because the bombardment just now basically scared these indigenous troops who had no knowledge of coastal defense to escape into Mushuo Village. In less than three quarters of an hour, more than 1,000 Marines of the First Brigade of the South China Sea Fleet successfully landed at the cost of zero casualties, and rushed into Mushuo Village directly under the leadership of Heiwa, the general of the First Brigade.

"Based on teams, we can enter the village from four directions, east, west, south, north, and north. When we meet the natives, we will quickly eliminate their lives. If we cannot be eliminated immediately, we must drive them out and leave them to the soldiers on the periphery to eliminate them!"

After Heiwa gave the order, more than a thousand Marine soldiers scattered, while Heiwa personally led a team to enter directly from the east of the village. When he saw an indigenous army pulling a Han woman in a room, Heiwa directly shot the indigenous people's head.

At the same time, gunfire and fighting sounded around the other side.

These indigenous troops did not expect that other troops would appear at this moment. They were a little confused for a moment. At first, they had a habit of counterattacking for a while, but finally found that they could not fight against such a sharp-cut army, so they ran around like rats crossing the street.
