Chapter 115 Drinking Ma Xihai

The news that the Three Kingdoms withdrew from the old port and gathered a large number of ships in Malacca soon spread to the prince's ears.

At this moment, the prince was also gathering various divisions of the Ming Navy.

British Duke Zhang Mao came from Boni with the main force of the Eastern Route Army and joined the Western Route Army where the prince was located in Dani. Only Huangtong's troops were left to guard Boni. After all, Zhang Mao had no intention of Boni. If the Manchus added points to fight Boni, it might not be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, the Ming army in Malacca had nearly 100,000 leaps, with five or six hundred ships of all sizes, most of which were blessed ships, and a small number of them were Guangzhou ships confiscated from Guangzhou, and most of them were warships.

At this time, the types of warships in the Ming Dynasty were all blessed ships, nothing more than size.

Most of the Guangzhou ships are used as transport ships and transport materials between Jiading and Damu.

At this time, everyone knows that a sea battle is coming, and the only difference is how to fight this sea battle.

The prince summoned all the generals to discuss the matter.

Generals of Zhang Mao, Mao Rui, Chen Rui and other big and small.

Just now, before he discussed it, Wang Zhi went out loudly and said, "Your Highness, it is better to start first. Now, it is nothing more than a battle. If you attack him, the power will be with me. When the attacker comes, the power will be with him."

The prince snorted coldly and said, "Rareless, you have something to talk here and there, so why don't you retreat?"

Wang Zhi is the younger brother of Wang. He has always been favored by the prince. He is not very old, but he can attend such an important meeting. You can see how the prince values ​​Wang Zhi.

Of course, Wang Zhi did not disappoint this kind of emphasis. His actions since he joined the army were remarkable.

But Wang Zhi is still too young. His military vision has been sharpened, but his political differences are too different. I have no idea what the prince thought.

However, British Duke Zhang Mao understood.

British Duke Zhang Mao studied in the main hall with the prince since he was a young man. Speaking of decades of friendship, they cannot talk about each other's feelings, but it is not difficult to guess each other's thoughts.

The prince will never take any danger during this southern expedition.

There are too many variables in the battle at sea.

It was like the Yuan Dynasty's expedition to Japan. No matter how you look at it, Japan is no match for it, but a storm changed everything.

Even though the prince has avoided the storm-prone period, it is difficult to judge the climate at sea. Although it is not the storm-prone period, it is not said that there are no storms.

If the army was in full swing, the decisive battle was placed south of the Malay Peninsula. Once it was defeated, hundreds of miles of sea routes would have no place to settle down.

So the prince had no intention of going south to fight at the beginning.

Speaking of which, as a general, he certainly felt that the prince's strategy of suppressing people with his original intention was a bit cowardly, but military always obeyed politics.

For the prince, the bonus of the halo of victory in every battle is just the icing on the cake, but a defeat can bring great crisis to the prince's political reputation.

How to choose cannot change.

The British Duke said: "Your Highness, what Wang Zhi said is somewhat reasonable, but he doesn't know the principle of waiting for labor. It is better to be quiet than to move at this moment. The countries in Southeast Asia are island countries, and land confrontations are just grass. The Marquis of Nanning also feels this."

Mao Rui nodded when he saw this.

In his opinion, his confrontation with the Mantaojia Army was easier than suppressing bandits in the Ming Dynasty. If the climate here was not too hot, then it was winter and it was still hotter than the summer in the Central Plains. Many tropical rainforests could not enter at all. It was a bit tricky to clear away the remaining enemies, but as long as the Mantaojia army dared to fight in an array on the open land, Mao Rui was only one fifth of the opponent's force, or even one-tenth of the force, which would be enough to collapse.

British Duke Zhang Mao said: "Just ask the Marquis of Nanning to send a vanguard to drink the horses and make a sword point to the Mass and the sword is the only way to think of the thief chief. The only way to cut off the Ming Navy and cut off the army's retreat. Your Highness will just wait here."

The prince said, "Okay, what do you think, Marquis of Nanning?"

Mao Rui has asked for battle several times in the past few days, either because of other things, or because the full thorns and soldiers are too weak. Mao Rui feels that there is no need to wait for the army to arrive, just send one or two battalions to fight without any impact.

It was just that the prince kept pressing.

If Mao Rui had not known the prince's idea at this time, Mao Rui would have been a little too slow. He had long understood that British Duke Zhang Mao was not talking about his own opinions, but his ideas.

The Duke of England is just a microphone.

What else could he think, he said: "I think what the British Duke said is so true, and I am willing to lead the army as the vanguard."

The prince said, "Okay, it depends on the Marquis of Nanning."

Mao Rui, who was suppressed for several days, was like a wild horse that broke free from reins, and led tens of infantry and cavalry to advance westward. In almost a few days, he fought with the Mantao Army three times, and each time he defeated him.

In this way, Mao Rui almost felt no obstacles. He just drank Ma Xihai.

Or Western.

It's the Indian Ocean.

At this time, Mao Rui should turn his horse's head. He had already bypassed the central mountain range of the Malay Peninsula. He just needed to go along the southern foot of the Central Mountains and launch his horse. Without going hundreds of miles, he could only go to the city of Montsaka.

Mao Rui went south to panic to Man Tsuijia. Before Mao Rui came, it had already spread throughout Man Tsuijia.

It would be false to say that Mahmud did not strengthen the defense in the Songkhla area.

Almost after Mahmud got the Ming army to capture the Peking University area, his first reaction was to strengthen the defense in the northwest.

A lot of troops were drawn to head north.

But these people fell down as soon as they touched Mao Rui's troops.

In the entire Nanyang area, only Annan, which has already destroyed the country, has always been the most powerful country in the Nanyang area. While paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty, it also wanted to expand the south and also accepted many vassal states.

Although Man Shijia is also the overlord of the South China Sea, his overlord is more based on trade. Although he has achieved some achievements in the military, his greatest achievement is just a battle with Siam decades ago and he seized a lot of land.

In this era, Mantaga and Siam, which is the dividing line between later generations, is different from that of later generations. This is the consequence of Siam fighting after Mantaga destroyed the country.

The city is full of straits.

Mahmud could no longer sit still. He felt regretful. However, after praying in the clean room for a while, he suddenly calmed down, as if God had driven away all his fears.

Including the fear of death.

He discussed with Ladenbada and Barcelona again, saying, "In the current situation, if no one stops the Ming army, the Ming army will be able to reach the city of Mansakaya at most half a month. The Ming army's artillery is sharp, and the city of Mansakaya cannot be stopped. Only by defeating the Ming army at sea can all this be saved. I want to go north immediately, what do you mean?"

Mahmud tightly held the hilt of the scimitar on his waist, as if the scimitar decorated with gems and gold and silver could bring him great courage.

Ladenbada also understood in his heart.

Both Tamme and Aceh are different from Mantaga. They are both island countries.

The Ming army could not have arrived at the two countries without a water battle, but the Mantaojia was different. In fact, except for a isthmus in the northwest, Mantaojia was no different from an island country.

But that's enough.

At this moment, both countries did not agree, and Mahmud was likely to turn against him.

Ladenbada understood the cause of this incident very well. He could not avoid this battle anyway, so he naturally said immediately: "I have been waiting for this battle for a long time."

Then Mahmud looked at Barcelona.

Barth said, “Allah is above, and he is brothers, and he is determined.”

"Okay." Mahmud said: "Let us let the Ming people know who is the overlord of the sea."

So, after the three agreed, almost all the ships of Mantaga left the port one after another, with more than a thousand ships densely covering the entire sea.

From a distance, the sea is no longer blue, but white.

The white sails that originally embellished the sea were embellished by the sea.

This huge fleet interrupted trade in the entire Southeast Asian region, and all cargo ships were temporarily turned into warships.
