The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 891: Malay stalls big things

Official Hong Xi did not launch a general attack, but instead sent the battleships to attack the turrets in batches.

Similarly, the Second Marine Division under the command of Yan Le did not have a general offensive, and the regiments took turns to fight the city.

The Navy and Marine Corps used actual combat drills to practice tactics, constantly attacking, consuming the firepower and manpower of the red hair fan, while the supply of the Southeast Army is almost unlimited!

The benefits brought by the Southeastern Government’s active economic development have been exhausted, and the firepower of the fighting has never been reduced.

The wounded were given timely and good help, and morale was always high!

The governor of Malacca City, Alonso, personally took the stage to encourage the officers and soldiers to resist the Chinese.

The Malays who assisted in the fight were fighting side by side with the Hong Maofan, even more active than the Hong Maofan!

I have to say that Hong Maofan's words came to their hearts.

The Malays know that wherever the Chinese go, apart from being a little lucky in the local state of Johor, they can also keep their religion (Johor used to fight Aceh with the Chinese, and the Chinese kept them for "embellishment"), and other indigenous people died. Death and exile, even if they are not touched for a while, will soon succumb under the heavy taxes of the Chinese.

Southeastern Prefecture levies a poll tax in its jurisdiction!

Chinese citizens do not need to pay this tax. The government manages the Chinese through the "hukou book". If there is a Hukou book, there is no need to pay the tax. People of other ethnic groups have to pay it. As long as they live in the jurisdiction of the Southeastern Prefecture for more than half a year, they will have to pay the head. tax.

Therefore, the business operators must pay attention to this time, if not necessary, do not stay for more than half a year.

People who believe in Mazu Niangniang can be tax-free (after many years) or pay less (depending on the length of time of worship), while other ethnic groups can believe in anything, but the religion does not reach the monastery, and the establishment of new religious sites must be approved (very difficult) ) And have to pay taxes!

It's not a new thing. It's modeled on what the Arabs did to the people when they fought in the four realms. If you believe in their religion, you will be exempt from taxes, and if you don't believe them, you will pay taxes.

If you can't pay taxes, you must accept forced labor to pay taxes with your income!

The government said: "Because you don't pay the poll tax on time, BS our government, so the punishment is five times!"

So those guys are miserable.

If you fail to pay taxes for three years and seriously BS our government, you will become a slave!

Hmm, rebellion?

There were no human rights in those days, and the nine tribes were punishable for rebellion. Under the leadership of the leaders, the Chinese were not merciful in killing people.

Among all ethnic groups other than the Chinese, only two types of people are tax-exempt.

The first is that the minorities in the Chinese cultural circle, such as the Japanese, Korean, Ryukyu, and Annan, are tax-exempt as long as they believe in the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism.

The second is India's Asan. Leaders look at them differently. So many Asams get visas to work in Southeast Asia. However, their visas expire and must leave and cannot stay. Their naturalization is also very difficult, unlike the Chinese minors who have them every year. Certain "naturalization indicators".

There are also Hong Maofans who have to pay taxes, but it is easier for them to naturalize. The Chinese absorb young Hong Maofans and those with knowledge and contributions to become naturalized. The priority is the Hong Maofans who believe in Mazu.

The practice of the Chinese has spread to the city of Malacca long ago, arousing the anger of the Malays, and they have gradually become the mainstay of resistance to the Chinese!

In addition to participating in defense, sometimes when the Chinese attack is fierce, the Red Hair Fans are armed with machetes or spears, and the Malays with shields countercharge!

"Kill!" The Malay eyes flashed with fanaticism, chanting religious slogans, and blatantly killed the Chinese.

The Chinese once broke through the city wall and fought with the defenders. The Malays rushed forward. Their spears were stabbing countless thorns. The Marines' lances were not as long as spears, so it was a bit difficult to resist.

Hong Maofan shot behind the Malays, shooting the Chinese.

The Chinese also fired shots, but the Malays followed suit. They could not be shot, and could not get lightly wounded in the line of fire!

With blood splashing, shouting and screaming, Yan Le didn't want to fight too badly, and ordered Mingjin to retreat.

The initiative is in our hands, the enemy has no foreign aid, time is not in a hurry, and the lives of soldiers cannot be exchanged for victory.

The red-eyed Malays chopped off the heads of the two captured Chinese wounded on the wall!

The sword fell in his hand, the head fell down, and the fate of the Malays was doomed to fall!

"This is how you came to provoke us!" the Malay yelled.

Yan Le and other high-ranking officers who saw this scene through the binoculars turned pale!

The news was reported to official Hong Xi, who was furious: "Okay, you Malays have made a big deal, and you successfully angered me!"

He immediately ordered the naval guns to land, dragged the heavy artillery used by a battleship that was logistically supplied to the shore, and transferred gunners from each ship to assist the Marines.

"Don't be stingy with cannonballs, hit labor and management hard!" He commanded.

The engineers and migrant workers were full of energy. They built a simple wharf, used a crane to pull the cannon to the shore, built a cement road, and used a donkey cart to drag the cannon to the front line.

Started day and night, full of energy, brightly lit, red hairs are frightened, and Malays frighten!

Nearly two hundred 32-pound, 24-pound, and 18-pound heavy artillery guns were stationed in the artillery position, surrounding the city of Malacca and blasting into the city!

Cannonballs roared all day long, and shells kept breaking into the city!

At the same time, the Chinese people's workers urgently built trebuchets, first light human trebuchets, and dropped bombs into the city! Throw fire bombs into the city!

Then began to manufacture heavy counterweight trebuchets, with longer range and greater power.

The fire bomb dragged a long black smoke into the city. After landing, it set off a fire source and burned.

The bomb hits the ground and explodes, iron nails and steel **** are shot, causing blood to flow within the killing radius, and even the unlucky ones are blinded.

Cannonballs collapsed buildings and killed people!

Following the instructions of the leaders, the Southeast Army developed the technology of catapults. However, in Southeast Asia, due to the large number of artillery ~lightnovelpub.net~, officers look down on the heavy catapults. After all, direct firearms are easy to use, and it also involves competition for military expenditures. No trebuchet equipped.

In an emergency, everything must be used, and the Southeast Army used various methods to attack Malacca City.

They were not in a hurry to attack, patronizing the siege and attacking, constantly firing guns and dropping bombs.

Hong Maofan is accustomed to stone buildings, and their residences and barracks are mostly built with bricks and stones, which are not easy to catch fire, and are hard to be destroyed by bombs and shells.

The Malays live in wooden huts or thatched huts. A fire broke out in the middle of the night and a street burned.

Burn out supplies, life is embarrassing.

Burn to death simply, burn to death.

As the siege of the Chinese became longer and longer, the city of Malacca began to lack food.

The Malays have never been the kind of people who accumulate grain to prevent hunger. There is food in the forests of tropical regions, and there is also a lot of food in the sea, so they did not worry about eating before.

Under siege, they were not allowed to go out, and there was no food.

They have food in storage, but they are expected to share the food with the Malays, and it is more likely to wait for the sun to rise from the west.

The Malays lacked food and starved to death.

The wounded had fever and many deaths.

The corpses piled up in the city, and the trash and rice fields could not be transported out. The stench that radiated was not only horrible, but also caused a plague!

In the past, there were a lot of Chinese in Malacca. They were equivalent to the "middle-level" in an organization, leading the Malays to work, and the city of Malacca was fairly clean.

Now that there is no middle level, Hong Maofan knows nothing about hygiene and epidemic prevention. Their Paris is still a city of feces and urine, while the Malays have seven or six points, and they are used to hanging and dripping water at the foot of the street, and everything is piled up. Together, Malacca City is unbearable!
