    ,

    The Sultan of Yogyakarta, named Lasang, is a descendant of the royal family of the Bachang Kingdom. After the kingdom was destroyed, he became the feudal lord of Matalan.

    Matalam split, and Central Java was divided into three parts.

    One is the Solo Sultanate, the second is the Yogyakarta Sultanate, and the third is Semarang occupied by the Han people.

    For Solo and Yogyakarta, the goods must be shipped to Semarang for sea.  Therefore, although the Han people in Semarang are the weakest, the sultans of the two countries are unwilling to go to war with the Han people.  One is that it is more difficult to siege the city, and the other is that after they are defeated, they do not know how to engage in maritime trade.

    In the past few years, Solo and Yogyakarta have been at war. In the end, the Sultan of Yogyakarta won and unified the Central Java area except Semarang.

    Sultan Lasan of Yogyakarta is full of ambitions. His next goal is to attack the Surabaya Sultanate and take East Java into his pocket.  Surabaya was Surabaya, and the Sultan was a Javanese nobleman, but the Chinese also played an important role there.

    ?After the Surabaya Kingdom is unified, Semarang can be won without a fight. It must be nominally subject to the Sultan of Yogyakarta, and sending officials to collect taxes is considered the ruling method.

    Due to years of civil war, the population of the Sultanate of Yogyakarta has dropped sharply to about 200,000.  Both industry, commerce and agriculture were severely damaged. In the case of insufficient food, sending more than 20,000 troops is already the limit.

    Lasang personally led the army and marched towards Semarang mightily.

    The town that Zhang Xianzhong captured, that is, Belgas, was renamed Huanghu Town.  If Lasang wants to attack Semarang, he must pass through here.

    Huanghu Town is surrounded by mountains on all sides, a river leads directly to the sea, and the town is located on the flat land between the mountains.

    As soon as the Lasang army arrived in the southern valley, they were spotted by sentry soldiers and quickly lit up billowing smoke as a warning.

    "Governor, there is meat to eat!" Nongfentian laughed.

    Zhang Xianzhong, with a cigar in his mouth, leisurely puffed out the smoke: "Kill as many people as possible, the more you kill, the better. The south can be stable for twenty years. After the south is settled, let's go to the east to fight against Danmu, which is really useful."  territory."

    Nong Fentian was a young man of the Zhuang nationality. The 500 troops assigned to Zhang Xianzhong were all recruits from Guangxi, and only a few officers were veterans.

    The Datong imperial court expanded southward, and especially liked to recruit descendants of wolf soldiers from Yunnan and Guangxi.  First, it can alleviate land conflicts in mountainous areas, second, the people of Guangxi and Yunnan are more adaptable to the Nanyang environment, and third, these descendants of wolf soldiers are really fierce.

    After Zhang Xianzhong occupied Huanghu Town, he did not intend to continue to expand south.

    His plan is to cripple the country of Yogyakarta so badly that it will not be able to send troops for a decade or two.  Then, it has been developed to the east, and the east coast is a large fertile plain.  There is Danmu City, the Danmu country that once unified Java Island. Its capital is on the plain, but the city walls have long been destroyed.

    Zheng Yongshou, the former governor of Semarang, was a wimp who got rich and settled down.  In such a large fertile plain, the rulers were only landlords and aristocrats, and he never led troops to fight over it, which seemed unreasonable to Zhang Xianzhong.

    "Dang Dang Dang!"

    When the iron bell in Huanghu Town rang, not only did the five hundred fellow troops gather quickly, but the local Han men inside and outside the city also left their fellow men and gathered together.

    All the Javanese people near the town were killed, and Zhang Xianzhong distributed all the shops, houses, and land to the Han people.  These Han people all believed in the Green religion, and they were all commoners in the city and tenants outside the city.  They accidentally obtained the land of the store, and their loyalty was instantly full, and they were willing to follow Zhang Xianzhong to the death.

    Five hundred Datong troops, more than a thousand Han youths, killed the more than 20,000 Yogyakarta army.

    Lasan was still marching in the river valley at this time, the luggage was transported by boats, and the soldiers advanced along the river bank.

    "Boom!"

    "Boom!"

    There were muffled noises coming from the river, but it was Zhang Xianzhong who set up a large number of hidden piles in the river channel south of the town after he captured Huanghu Town.  Small fishing boats can pass through with ease, but boats with a slightly deeper draft are very likely to collide with hidden piles.

    The enemy's supply fleet was soon blocked there.

    Lasang ordered the soldiers who were familiar with water to go down the river to pull out the hidden piles.  But those hidden piles are really too many, it is the result of Zhang Xianzhong's one month's work, and it will take at least several days to completely clean them up.

    On the southeast side of Huanghu Town, there is still a valley that can be passed through, and it was blocked by mountains after thirty miles.

    Zhang Xianzhong led his troops for 30 miles and spent two more days crossing the mountains, and they reached the rear of the Yogyakarta army.  Immediately afterwards, he walked day and night along the river valley, and slowly moved towards the enemy's camp.

    Sultan Lasan was still pulling out the hidden stakes, and Zhang Xianzhong was already preparing to stab the chrysanthemum.

    At night, camps were set up along the river, and the Javanese soldiers were sleeping soundly.  To the north of Daying, facing the direction of Huanghu Town,p; Hearing that the Chinese army was dispatched, the leader of Danmu didn't know how many people came. He hurriedly took his family, property and private armed forces and ran directly to Surabaya City by sea boat.  When you arrive in Surabaya City, you can take refuge in the Sultan of Surabaya, and as long as you preserve your strength, you can continue to be a nobleman.

    The affluent Danmu area was easily captured by Zhang Xianzhong.  There were at least 20,000 indigenous people who were massacred here, and the five hundred troops were all led to ruin, and the missionaries in the army were at a loss as to what to do.

    The mission officer is also a descendant of Zhuang wolf soldiers, named Wei Zhuang.  He felt that he could no longer kill indiscriminately, so he went to Zhang Xianzhong privately: "Governor Zhang"

    "Is Wei Xuanjiao here?"

    Without waiting for Wei Zhuang to finish speaking, Zhang Xianzhong held Wei Zhuang's hand and said with a smile: "Wei Xuanjiao, the governor has already selected the most fertile 100 mu of cultivated land outside Danmu City, and it will be Wei Xuanjiao's private land in the future. Three Java  Girls, concubines for Wei Xuanjiao, all rich girls in the city, not native girls in the countryside. There are also a few Javanese girls who serve as maids for Wei Xuanjiao. There are also twenty Javanese slaves who work as tenants for Wei Xuanjiao.  "

    Wei Zhuang opened his mouth many times, but he hesitated to speak.

    Zhang Xianzhong captured the Danmu Plain in the east, and then set his sights on a small plain in the west.  There is also fertile soil. Although there are many forests, they can be reclaimed and cultivated.

    In one year, under the operation of Zhang Xianzhong, the Governor-General of Semarang expanded its territory more than ten times, and it didn't stop until it was surrounded by mountains.

    Zhang Xianzhong thought it was so cool, the aborigines here are not beaten, and as long as they are not Han Chinese, they can be arrested and slaughtered at will.  Getting him to be the governor of Semarang is like a tiger returning to the mountain and a dragon entering the sea.  If it weren't for the small number of Han Chinese, he felt that he would be able to unify Java Island in five years.

    What school education, what slowly pioneering, these are not in line with Zhang Xianzhong's characteristics.  He felt that the land was very good, and he could just lead his troops to kill and occupy it, and killed all the natives there, and distributed the few who were not killed to the soldiers as tenants.

    What is the cost of governance?

    There is no cost, only conquest!
