Chapter 1241： Go to Daming for help

, The fastest update of the latest chapter of the Emperor's Rise!

After hearing the news of the annihilation of the whole army of 20,000 troops sent by him, Malacca Sultan Ahmed froze for a long time and did not react. Moreover, just the day before, he also received good news that the previous general was "fighting the enemy."

Suddenly, Ahmed, who had just assumed the throne, felt panicked and helpless. But at this time, the few Indian businessmen who had collected money to do things came again to persuade him to transfer the treasure.

In a panic, Ahmed finally accepted the advice of several Indian businessmen and transferred a large amount of the treasures of Malacca City to the small city of Bagel inland. Because there is a palace in Sudan in this small city of Bhar.

However, because of the lack of action, the leaked news caused the morale of the more than 10,000 remaining soldiers in Malacca City to be hit-Sudan has begun to transfer property, which proves that there is no confidence to confront the enemy ...

Therefore, when the Portuguese army began to siege the city of Malacca, the morale of the more than 10,000 defenders in the city was low.

Moreover, Albuquerque was very cunning. He deliberately grabbed a lot of Malay indigenous strongmen. He held a sharp wooden stick and stood with more than 4,000 Portuguese troops who came to the siege, creating a "many Portuguese army." Illusion.

But in fact, they are responsible for frightening people by posing Pose, who are more than 10,000 Malay natives from Albuquerque.

The Malacca generals who could defend the city didn't know. They thought there were so many people in the Portuguese army. As a result, the more you fight, the more you lose confidence ...

After more than a month of siege, the morale of the defenders in the city completely collapsed ...

In desperation, Sultan Ahmed, with his family and thousands of core troops, quietly evacuated Malacca City at night.

In the early morning of the next day, when it was discovered that the Sudan had fled with his heirs, the remaining thousands of Malacca soldiers in the city also abandoned the city and fled. The Portuguese took no effort to occupy Malacca, an important trade transit port in Southeast Asia ...

Subsequently, Albuquerque ordered the robbery, and the Portuguese soldiers carried out the robbery excitedly.

But what disappoints the Portuguese is that it seems that the treasure is not as much as they imagined ...

Among them, the Albuquerque's heirs responsible for robbing the Malacca Royal Palace are the worst. Because there is really nothing left in the Malacca Royal Palace. After all, good things were transferred by Sultan Ahmed.

It is the homes of the nobles and wealthy merchants in Malacca that still have many treasures. Those Portuguese soldiers who were not from the Albuquerque lineage were full this time.

Albuquerque is also somewhat helpless. After all, this is the "contract area" that he arranged for the robbery before, and he can't regret it.

At this time, he was eager to lead troops to pursue Ahmed Sultan. Unfortunately, the Portuguese army is not well adapted to the tropical jungle climate. The last time we were able to successfully occupy Kuala Lumpur was because Kuala Lumpur could go up the Klang River. However, there is no major river going up in Bago, which is difficult to find.

Therefore, Albuquerque had to stay for a while and stay firmly under the rule of Malacca City. Anyway, it is a great achievement to win the Malacca City, not to mention that the Portuguese army has already occupied the tin mine in Kuala Lumpur, which has a large output.

...

After that, Albuquerque divided the Portuguese army into two-a part continued to control the super-large tin mine in Kuala Lumpur and profited from tin mine output. The other part is to continue to occupy Malacca City. After all, Malacca City is an important transit station on Daming Shanglu in India-Southeast Asia-and it can reap a lot of taxes and fees for stopping.

As long as these two places are well managed, Portugal is a big profit. You know, European tin is very expensive now, more expensive than copper ...

Of course, if he knew that Daming ’s tin metal had only 80 essays, it was estimated that he had no interest in mining — how easy was it to go directly to Daming to buy tin metal?

However, Daming has always closed its doors and locked itself. Even in the Kingdom of Malacca, it will take only one or two years to pay tribute. Therefore, the low price of Daming Tin metal does not affect the high price of tin metal in Europe.

What is different from the original history is that after the Portuguese army robbed the Malacca city, it did not carry out the slaughter. Instead, it captured most of the strong men in the city and sent it to Kuala Lumpur to mine tin mines ...

...

The words were divided into two ends, not to mention the Albuquerque ’s Portuguese invading army. At this time, Malacca Sultan Ahmed, with thousands of soldiers and a group of ministers, struggled to establish a temporary regime in the inland city of Bhar, Maintain the Malacca Sultanate from collapse.

However, compared with the fact that there was no time in the history to bring out any treasures, this time of the escape, Sultan Ahmed still hoarded a lot of treasures in Baghdad City.

The Kingdom of Malacca has been established for a hundred years, relying on a superior geographical position to engage in trade transit, its status is no less than that of Li Jiapo in later generations. Therefore, the royal family is still very thick.

The gold and silver treasures that Ahmed Sultan had transferred to Baghdad before were completely enough to support the Malacca Kingdom to continue. Unlike in the original history, because of the hasty escape, there was no time to bring wealth, which made the financial situation of the dying country extremely difficult. Then, Sultan Ahmed died of poverty and illness in 1513.

And this time and space, because Marin made people remind Ahmad Sultan earlier, so that Sudan is still rich in his hands. As a result, the court institutions of the Kingdom of Malacca were completely preserved. At the same time, Sultan Ahmed also began recruiting and training recruits in order to recover the Malacca City and Kuala Lumpur tin mines.

And as the Malacca court in Baghdad began to function again, Najib, who continued to serve as foreign minister, suddenly remembered what Kong Tai said when he went to Guangzhou a few years ago-if the kingdom is invaded, you can ask Daming for help ...

So Najib found Sultan Ahmed and said:

"Sudan, we can ask Daming for help!"

"Seek Daming for help?" Sultan Ahmed said hesitantly:

"I know Daming is very strong, but I heard that Daming no longer has a treasure ship fleet and no sea heroes like Master Sanbao. Now, Ming people are not going to sea, what can they do to save us?"

Najib was discouraged, but he insisted:

"Whether it is useful or not, let's try it. Maybe, Daming will save us?"

After a pause, Najib said:

"And, it seems that the new tribute trade time is coming again, we should go to Guangzhou for tribute trade ..."

Ahmed's eyes suddenly lighted up, tribute trade, that's a good thing to earn! But soon, he was frustrated again:

"Ai Qing, I also know that the tribute trade is very profitable. However, our big ships are all lost in Malacca City. Now even if we want to send a ship, there is no big ship suitable for voyage. There is only one boat left!"

Najib thought for a while, then looked at the treasures piled on the ground in the palace of Bago, and suddenly his eyes lit up:

"Otherwise, Chen will go by land and take a boat to Fengming Port in the east to Daming?"

"However, there is only a fishing boat in Mersing, and there is no big boat suitable for going to Guangzhou." Ahmed obviously knew the situation.

"In this way, Sudan, do n’t you still have a lot of treasures in your hands? The minister can bring the treasures and the proof of the trip to the Ming Dynasty tribute. First go to Mersing Port to catch a fishing boat to Siam (Thailand ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Then To buy a big boat in Siam with treasures. At the same time, I will purchase a large number of specialty products in Siam. After filling the boat, I will go to Guangzhou for tribute trade ... "Najib suggested.

"Purchasing tribute goods in Siam? Isn't that right ..." Ahmed thought there was some play in it.

"What's wrong with this? Our Malacca is originally a commercial country, and most of the goods for each tribute are purchased from other countries. It is nothing to purchase tribute items from Siam."

"By the way, before listening to the request of the Ming Dynasty, would you like us to offer more rhinoceros and rhino horn?"

"No problem, we just bring a few pieces of rhinoceros and some rhino horns in the past. Anyway, this thing is not valuable in our country!"

"Okay, that's it!" Ahmed snapped.

In this way, Malacca ’s Foreign Minister Najib took the equivalence certificate for the tribute trade in the Ming Dynasty, bought a few pieces of rhinoceros and some rhino horns from the locals, and purchased a batch of treasures for ships and goods, and went by land. To the east of Mersing. Then, set off there, first go to Siam to buy a boat and buy goods, and finally to the Ming Dynasty tribute trade, and at the same time to the Ming Dynasty court for help ...
