Chapter 879 875 [Queen Huang·Governor of Beida Nian]

  The month when the Burmese Conquest ended, the envoy fleet led by Lu Tianxiang, Zhang Ruifeng, and Fan Chao also arrived in Malacca with envoys from various countries along the way.

   At this moment, two episodes appeared.

  First, because the two divisions stationed in Quang Nam Province were both transferred to attack Burma, the Vietnamese Nguyen took the opportunity to invade Bin Thong Long (Champa).

  Second, the Pattani Kingdom in the Malay Peninsula was attacked by its affiliated force, the Kelantan Kingdom. Queen Pattani asked China to send troops to help her, and she was willing to offer land and submit to her. She gave up her position as a queen and became China's overseas governor.

  Queen Pattani ran away on a sea boat and went straight to Palembang for help, just in time to meet the fleet of envoys who were replenishing here.

   Lu Tianxiang and Zhang Ruifeng jointly received the Queen Pattani.

  The queen's name is Dato Kuning, who is over half a century old. In fluent Cantonese, she said: "Foreign minister Zhang Hezhen, knock on the empress, knock on the angel!"

  Governor of Palembang, Kuang Hong, stood beside him as an interpreter.

  Lu Tianxiang asked puzzledly: "The queen of the foreign vassal, why is her surname Zhang, and she can speak Cantonese?"

Kuang Hong explained: "Mistress Qi, the queen's uncle is the great pirate Lin Daoqian in the Longqing period. During the Wanli period, Lin Daoqian led more than 2,000 Chaozhou pirates and more than 100 seagoing ships, and became a concubine in the Beidaian Kingdom. And changed his surname to Zhang. Lin Daoqian's wife, two aunts, and the daughter of the little aunt in front of me have successively become the queen of Peking."

   "One family, four queens?" Lu Tianxiang found it very interesting.

Lin Hezhen knelt down on the ground: "The old woman has no heirs, and now she is being bullied by the country. She can't bear to lose the foundation of her ancestors. I ask the court to send troops to help. If the old woman can regain Pattani, the old woman is willing to be the governor of Pattani. After the old woman died, the court You can send officials to Governor Pattani!"

  Lu Tianxiang looked at Kuang Hong.

   Kuang Hong said: "This is feasible."

  The four queens of Pattani are called the Green Queen, Blue Queen, Purple Queen and Yellow Queen respectively.

  Decades ago, the Sultan of Pattani died, and his young sons and nephews successively succeeded to the throne, all of whom died in the assassination of the Sultan's relatives.

  Among a series of plots and killings, Lin Daoqian's sister Lin Jinyue (Lin Cizhen) died in battle, but she kept the foundation of the local Han people. After her death, the local Han people built a temple to enshrine the gods. Until hundreds of years later, Pattani Harbor in Thailand was still enshrining this "Ms. Lin", and her temple was called "Sacred Palace of Lingci".

  Ten years after Miss Lin's death, the last male of the Pattani royal family died.

   At that time, Lin Daogan had also died of illness, and the noble group elected his wife to be the queen, that is, the Green Queen.

  The nobles wanted to support a puppet, but they did not expect to support a fierce girl from heaven.

  Just after the Green Queen succeeded to the throne, the prime minister led 5,000 troops into the palace, and the guards panicked and ran away.

   But the green queen stood alone at the gate of the palace, calmly. Facing 5,000 rebels, he seemed to be reviewing the army, and asked the prime minister calmly: "Do you want to rebel and stand on your own?"

  The prime minister was speechless immediately. He was awed by the queen's aura and also thought of the Han people who supported the queen. He knelt down on the spot to express his submission.

   Later, a British adventurer met the 60-year-old queen and praised the monarchs of the entire East, none of which could match her magnanimity. The commander-in-chief of the Dutch East India Fleet described in his diary: "Her rule is very peaceful, and her relationship with nobles and ministers is very harmonious."

  A queen who has ended the chaotic political situation for more than thirty years, is the method really so peaceful?

   It's just that no one dares to object anymore.

  This queen has her own trade fleet, backed by thousands of Chinese forces. Domestic and foreign affairs are all perfect. During her rule, Pattani was built into a port city in the Malay Peninsula second only to Malacca, and even the surrounding small countries were accepted as vassal states.

  But she left no heirs, and was succeeded by her second sister.

  The second younger sister also lost her husband in her early years and still had no children, so she let the third younger sister succeed her after her death.

  The third sister is the Purple Queen, who is extremely tough internally and externally. He even declared independence from Siam and gave up the title of duke conferred by Siam, which directly triggered a war with Siam.

  In Siam, it was Yamada Nagamasa who sent troops to suppress the rebellion.

  Under the leadership of Queen Purple, Beida not only repelled the Japanese Musketeers, but also wounded Yamada Nagamasa. This is how King Narai's father secretly bribed his enemies and poisoned the injured Yamada Nagamasa to death.

  But the Purple Queen was too tough, she offended everyone at home and abroad, and left a sinkhole for her daughter to start.

  The old lady Huang Huang, who is seeking help from China, is the unlucky daughter. She was almost excluded by the nobles at the beginning of her position. She relieved the diplomatic dilemma by re-paying tribute to Siam, but was soon persecuted by the state of Johor.

  Because Queen Huang was betrothed to the prince of Johor when she was young. When the relationship between the two countries was tense, Pattani unilaterally dissolved the engagement, which was regarded as a great shame by the Johor prince. After the prince of Johor succeeded to the throne, he sent his son out and forced Queen Huang to marry his son.

   Queen Huang was forty years old at the time and was forced to marry Xiao Xianrou, who was in her teens.

  It smells so good!

  The queen was completely fascinated by the little fresh meat, and gave a lot of power to the little fresh meat prince.

  Xiao Xianrou took advantage of the queen's pregnancy, proclaimed himself the Sultan of Pattani, and drove the queen to live in the pavilion in the palace, causing the queen to have a miscarriage. As for Xiao Xianrou himself, he frantically married wives and took concubines, and even forced noble ministers to send their wives and daughters to the palace.

  The nobles and ministers of Pattani led troops into the palace, killed all the Johor guards, and executed Xiao Xianrou.

  The Queen Huang, who is in love with the brain, even though she was humiliated, she still pleaded for Xiao Xianrou. For the queen's sake, Beida Nian expelled the little fresh meat prince.

  Since then, the queen has completely lost power and has become a puppet of the nobles, and Pattani's national power has also gradually declined.

  Just a month ago, Pattani's vassal state rebelled and directly sent troops to destroy Pattani. With the help of a Chinese caravan, Queen Huang fled to Palembang by boat and asked China to send troops.

  Kuang Hong asked: "How many Han Chinese are there in Beida Nian?"

   Queen Huang couldn't figure it out, and replied: "Probably 10,000 to 20,000, or maybe 20,000 to 30,000."

  Kuang Hong asked again: "How many troops did the Kelantan invaders have?"

   "I don't know." Queen Huang has long ignored state affairs, only knowing that many enemies have entered the city.

  Kuang Hong turned around and said, "Your Majesty, let's send troops. Go straight to Kelantan, the distance is closer, and you don't have to run so far."

  Lu Tianxiang ran to Europe for a tour, became much calmer, and said: "Sending troops is a big deal, should we think about it in the long run?"

  Zhang Ruifeng also said: "We should discuss it again."

Kuang Hong said with a smile: "Mother, Rong Bing, the ministers have long been familiar with the big and small states in the vicinity. The Kelantan Kingdom is also a vassal state of the Celestial Dynasty. There is only one city, and if it dies, it can support thousands of soldiers? Even There is no need to attack the city, the army will march to the port, send envoys to question the crime, and the sultan will order the withdrawal of troops from Pattani."

   "It's really that easy?" Zhang Ruifeng expressed doubts.

   "Who doesn't know the majesty of the Celestial Dynasty in the thousands of miles of seas and seas in the South Seas? He is a small city-state, so forgive him for not daring to stroke a tiger's beard!" Kuang Honghao said angrily.

  So, under the leadership of Fan Chao, the fleet of Chinese envoys rushed to Kelantan.

  Before entering the port, the Sudan sent a ship to greet it, and respectfully led the Chinese fleet to the port to dock.

  Zhang Ruifeng scolded sharply: "Kelantan is a vassal of China, and Pattani is also a vassal of China. Why did Kelantan send troops to attack Pattani without authorization?"

   The dude is speechless.

  Zhang Ruifeng said: "Immediately go back and tell the king to withdraw his troops from Beida Nian. Also, you must pay for the looting of Beida Nian. I have sent troops here and wasted military expenses, so I must also pay for it!"

  The man was so frightened that he hurried back to see Sudan. As he ran, the Datong Navy suddenly fired.

   "Boom boom boom!"

  Dozens of shells landed near the city wall, several unlucky ones were shot and killed, and there was chaos inside and outside the city.

   "Which country's army is coming?" Sultan Raja Sakti panicked.

   Not long after, the officials he sent out crawled to the palace: "Your Majesty, the Chinese army has come to question the crime. Let us withdraw our troops from Beida Nian immediately, and we must also compensate the loss of Beida Nian and the military expenses of China's sending troops."

  Raja Sakti was so frightened that he was paralyzed. He saw that the Chinese army was attacking Burma and that Pattani's national strength was weakening.

  Just supported his son as the Sultan of Pattani, and it has been less than a month, why did the Chinese army kill him?

  Thinking about it, I really can't bear it.

Raja Sakti led the civil and military ministers, ran to the port and knelt down to plead guilty, weeping: "Angel Rong Bing, it was that Pattani who bullied our country. Our country has become a vassal state of the Celestial Dynasty, and Pattani still treats us as a vassal state. Forcing us to pay tribute to goods. The dispatch of troops this time is not an annexation of the territory, but a forced resistance."

Zhang Ruifeng sneered: "Resist to the point of occupying the entire palace of Pattani, and even made his son the Sultan of Pattani? Don't say so much, order the withdrawal of troops immediately, and prepare money to compensate for the loss. If you dare to delay, your country will also be wiped out." Already!"

   "Follow...obey." Raja Sakti regretted.

  This business has lost a lot of money. Stealing chickens is not enough to lose money. If you don’t get any benefits, you have to pay huge amounts of money.

   What can I do if I don’t follow suit?

  He is on this city and the villages and towns around the city. A typical city-state is simply powerless to resist the Chinese army.

   Just like that, the Datong Navy fired a round of artillery, forcing Kelantan to spit out Pattani.

  Queen Huang was sent back to Pattani City and temporarily served as the governor of Pattani. After her death, China will send officials to be the governor. Of course, Lu Tianxiang also left some people in charge of various official positions in Beida Nian, which is tantamount to emptying Queen Huang.

   There are about 10,000 Han Chinese living here, enough for China to establish effective rule.

   When the envoys' fleet left Pattani and sailed to Bin Thong Long, the Datong army was attacking Vietnam's Ruan family.

  Yang Zhan was very angry. He left Guangnan Province on his front foot, and the Ruan family sent troops to Bin Tong Long on his back foot.

  After the fight in Myanmar was over, Yang Zhan led his army back immediately after receiving the news, and wanted to teach Ruan a lesson.
