Chapter 113: The Old Port withdrew

News is faster than the wind at any time.

The Ming Dynasty went south in a large-scale way, and together with this manifesto, it spread throughout the Nanyang and also to the ears of the coalition forces under the Old Port City. Now the coalition forces under the Old Port City are no longer two-way coalition forces, but three major powers, Tamme, Mantaga, and Aceh, as well as more than a dozen other sultanate countries of all sizes.

However, these sultans will not explain.

After all, many small countries in Nanyang can be called a country even if they have a large village. Among them is Boni Country.

Some people may say that Boni was not destroyed by the British Duke. It is very simple. The British Duke Zhang Mao only destroyed the Boni royal family, and it has nominal rule over other parts of Boni.

Naturally, there are ambitious people who are unwilling to obey the management of the court and come to join the Nanyang Alliance, thus becoming the Boni Sultan. Although this Sultan has made this happen, no one probably recognizes it.

After hearing the news, Ladenbada said in his heart: "It's finally here."

He couldn't wait any longer.

There are three main aspects, the first is the lack of logistics and supplies.

The Tamura Kingdom is the weakest among the three major powers. It is not that the Java Island where the Tamura Kingdom is located is not as good as the Malay Peninsula, but that before the Tamura Kingdom, it fought for several years in a row, and then it destroyed the Manzhe Boyi. The Tamura family is already full of holes, and the army is far away from its own territory to besiege the old port. It is very difficult to not attack the city and maintain its existence.

Even Ladenbada felt that even if he did nothing, just garrisoning troops under the old port city for several years would be enough to drag down the new Danmu Kingdom.

Secondly, it is the issue between allies.

There are problems within the alliance, which is inevitable. Ladenbada knew that his family was weak, so he did not compete for the position of leader. After all, according to Ladenbada's original intention, he was not willing to fight this war with the Ming Dynasty, but he had to fight, so he wanted to make a big deal.

His original intention was to keep warm together and he had no intention of fighting for power and profit.

But Mantaga Sultan Mahmud is different. He killed his brother, and there is an undercurrent of instability inside. He urgently needs to make achievements outside to suppress internal instability, so he is determined to win the leader.

But the newly joined Aceh Sultan Barcelona is different.

In terms of qualifications among Hui and Islam, Aceh was the first stop for Hui and Islam to be introduced into Southeast Asia, that is, all Hui and Islam in Southeast Asia were transmitted from Aceh. Although Aceh's national strength was not as strong as Mantaga, she was unwilling to be under Mantaga. In addition, after Mantaga and Tamme formed an alliance, she felt that she was not strong enough, so she invited Aceh to join.

Aceh felt that the two countries begged him, and he was even less willing to be under the sting.

Therefore, the Nanyang coalition seemed to be fierce, but internal contradictions were already highlighted. When the troops were stopped under the old port, the various contradictions became clearer.

This is true for any alliance. When it is advancing rapidly, various contradictions can be suppressed, but after repeated failures, many problems may be transformed into internal contradictions.

The third is the most realistic problem, that is, the old port.

The city of Old Port is really a pain point for the Three Kingdoms. It has been besieged for nearly a year, with more than a dozen large attacks, and I don’t know how many small-scale attacks have been made.

But the result?

All of them are losing troops and losing generals, and there is not much progress.

The army of more than 100,000 has made no progress here, and it is simply a waste of money and food.

In fact, all parties have long been determined to withdraw their troops. It is just that they are difficult to get into the sheath. Although most of the surrender of the South Asian countries to the Ming Dynasty is due to face skills. But one thing is very clear, that is, the South Asian countries are not without any fear of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise how could they have such face skills to the Ming Dynasty for no reason?

Do you really think these kings and sultans are willing to bow their heads?

So, from the beginning, they wanted to have a victory against the Ming Dynasty to inspire people. But they hit the old Hong Kong tough guy.

If you leave in shame, it may have a counterproductive effect.

Many people hope that the old port will support it.

It was just in the end that this was a delusion.

In addition, the manifesto spread throughout the South China Sea caused a great blow to the three countries. Although the fundamental contradiction between the two sides was a trade conflict, even if the European channel was not opened, the annual profits from China to India and Arab channel alone would be less than tens of millions of taels.

This is enough to cause the war to destroy the country, and it is also the lifeline of Hui countries near the Southeast Asian channel.

However, this benefit cannot benefit all Hui Muslims. There are even a considerable number of Hui Muslims who oppose this, because many of this Hui Muslims believe in Hui Mori because of Zheng He’s father-in-law.

Although there are quite a lot of people in this group who have completely defected to Huihui Maritime Business, some of them have very close relationships with Han Chinese Maritime Business Business.

There are also a considerable number of believers at the bottom who have no specific relationship with this trade line. After all, no matter who controls this trade line, it has nothing to do with them.

This pushes the Three Kingdoms into a relatively embarrassing situation.

Of course, Ladenbada still has a few separate banks to watch the fire, and Mahmud could no longer hold on because the Ming Dynasty had already landed on the territory of Mantaga. The mud was not far from Mantaga, and it was said that it was close to him.

Plus the lessons of Boni.

With the sultan and the sultan, Mahmud naturally couldn't collapse.

He first proposed to withdraw his troops and return to defeat the Ming army first. It was not too late to clean up the old port.

Ladenbada Natural Support.

Aceh Sultan Basse hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"However, you cannot retreat at will," said Ladenbada. "Otherwise, what should we do if the troops of the Shi family in the old port come out from behind when we leave?"

Mahmud said: "You mean-----"

Ladenbada lowered his voice and whispered. The other two nodded immediately after hearing this.

A few days later, the soldiers on duty at the old port on the front of the city saw the outside of the city empty from afar. It seemed that all the camps rose up from the ground overnight and were gone.

All that is left is a piece of ruins after piece, and there are a large group of people stationed and left behind countless domestic waste.

"Retreat, retreat." However, someone said something, countless cheers came out. One after another, and then came to Yang Tinghe's ears.

At this moment, this rising star in the Ming Dynasty who was in his early twenties was no longer as romantic as before, but had a lot of beards, almost covering his entire face, and his hair had not been sorted out for many days. It looked messy and like a handful of firewood.

He walked to the door a few steps, listened to the cheers of the whole city, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I finally retreated."

This year was the most difficult year he, a Sichuan native, had survived. The first month or two was the time when the Three Kingdoms offensive was the most desperate. At that time, Yang Tinghe was ordered to go up to supervise the battle, and even killed several people with a hand gun.

The entire Old Port City is like a small boat in the midst of a storm. It can barely be maintained.

As a result, the old port city was in difficulty, and the besieged troops were even more difficult. This kind of attack was simply a loss of heads, and the casualties between the two sides were disproportionate. Although the old port city was in poverty, there were corpses everywhere outside the city.

Even the soldiers watching the night at the top of the city could hear the wailing sound outside the city, from night to dawn, never stopped, almost like a ghost cry.

You should know that the lead of a firearm is poisonous.

Even if the person who was shot is not fatal, he is likely to die due to subsequent complications.

This greatly damaged the morale of the army, and the Three Kingdoms no longer attacked after that.

At that time, Yang Tinghe thought that the most difficult time in the battle to defend the city had passed, but later he realized that this was the beginning of the most difficult time.

The biggest problem at this moment is not the enemy, but the food and plague.

The enemy threw a large number of animal corpses into the moat. Although the water source in the Old Port City is not the same as the moat, it uses groundwater, but it is close to the estuary and the groundwater is very shallow. This will still have an impact on the groundwater.

Although Yang Tinghe has been preventing it, after one of them fell ill, the plague broke out in the old port inevitably.
