When Zhu Cixuan's brothers and Huang Fei conquered Wandan City.

Huangming Island was also seen by the newly emerging powerful forces in Java, and it is also the overlord of Java Island, the horse beat the blue kingdom.

Huangming Island is named after Zhu Youjian, which is actually the original Batavia and the current Jakarta.

Since it is impossible to use the original place name to occupy this place, Huangming Island was born.

On the ruins of the last Hindu power, Manzhe Boyi, the *** sultanate of the Madalan.

After the efforts of the first two Sudans, it developed into absolute hegemony in the hinterland of Java, and many coastal trading city-states expressed their surrender to it.

The third-generation Sultan Agong also made up his mind to completely wipe out the various states of Java.

Unlike the trading city-states on the coastline, the Madalan Sultanate is a typical Eastern monarchy and centralized state.

The basis of hegemony does not rely on prosperous international trade, but on numerous peasants and endless fields, as well as the unruly territorial warriors who were supported by them.

Madalan was originally the main rice supply site for the Nanyang Islands. It was as far as Malacca and as close as Wandan, which relied on Madalan to import grain.

The royal capital Kerta is a typical monarchical metropolis. More than 4,000 livestock are slaughtered every day to provide meat for officials and people. There are thousands of butchers in the city.

There are also military bell towers built in the blind spots of the city. Just ring the big bell to summon 300,000 people from Kerta and the surrounding villages and towns to join the army.

Of course, this kind of power itself is difficult to rely on pure agricultural income to support it. While encouraging rice exports, the import of foreign food will be strictly limited.

Trade specialties such as sugar, onions, cotton, etc. will be subject to heavy taxes.

Relying entirely on imported cotton, pepper, wax and other daily necessities, there are also high tax rates.

As for strategic livestock such as cattle, horses and buffaloes, they are not allowed to be exported unless they are ordered by the king. Even women living in the country are not allowed to go to coastal city-states.

In addition, Madalan also relies on the tribute paid by local states and states, which is a very heavy burden according to the local productivity level.

In addition to paying taxes, the people also have to undertake military service. They also act as free labor when building city fortresses, roads and bridges.

The poll tax ensures that the residents in the core area must give each person 10 shields to the Sudan, and the price in the conquered areas will also increase to 50 shields per person.

According to Sultan Agong's estimate, as long as his army conquers Wandan, he can obtain up to 230,000 riyals of treasure from merchants from various countries, and can also obtain siege cannons cast by Sultan Wandan who hired Turkish craftsmen with a large sum of money.

To this end, they began to contact the Dutch in Batavia. The two sides discussed that the Dutch would provide the ships. Ma Dalan dispatched the army to siege Banten together, but failed.

Later they captured Madura, which was famous for its prosperity, and the following year they captured the entire Sulu Mayi region.

Later, the trade port Sishui was captured and its strength was further strengthened. He even tried to surrender the Sultan of Vandan by diplomatic means, but was also harshly refused.

Although Ma Dalan was rampant on land, he was still free of dwarves at sea. When Sultan Agong succeeded to the throne, there were only 35 military ships across the country.

Now, it is only by annexing many coastal ports that it has a larger amount of surface power.

Without the support of powerful maritime forces, Madalan could not completely block the external transportation of a coastal metropolis.

As the power gradually became stronger, Ma Dalan looked at Batavia, controlled by the Netherlands, and wanted to take down this prosperous port in one fell swoop.

However, the Netherlands have also carefully built Batavia as a local fortress, and dug a long moat on the east side of the city near Madalan.

It was just the planned city wall with a turret, and due to insufficient manpower, it could only be replaced by a straight canal. There was a bridge passing through the eastern end of the long trench.

Half Moon Fort or Corner Fort were built at all the city gates and bridges. In response to the inconvenience of swamp traffic in the old neighborhood, a main road that runs through the city was filled with excavated soil.

The western end of the main road is the municipal government, central institutions such as squares and churches. The outer edges are closely protected by trenches. New houses in the city are mostly made of stone to prevent fires when attacked.

On the periphery of the city, the Netherlands also cleared a large number of trees and houses to ensure the broad vision of the defenders.

But in the jungle a little farther away, many Javanese tribes are still active, and this place has become a blind spot for the Batavian defenders to reconnaissance.

Ma Da Lan has long wanted to attack Batavia. Once he defeated Batavia, he would destroy the Wandan Kingdom and Ma Da Lan Kingdom would be able to unify Java Island.

They were not worried about the Dutch muskets, and there were only more than 2,000 red-haired men in total, and their hundreds of thousands of troops could be crushed strongly.

However, against the fortifications of the Netherlands, Mazhara never found a solution to the Blue Man and never launched a strike against Batavia.

After receiving information about the Ming Dynasty's attack on Batavia, the Mada Blue Kingdom began to worry that Batavia would fall into the hands of the Ming army.

After some planning, they were ready to take advantage of the Ming army's failure to gain a foothold and attack the Ming army head-on, and then bring Batavia into their own territory.

Sultan Agon sent 100,000 troops to the same time, and appointed eleven armed ships to disguise themselves as grain transport ships into the port of Batavia, and cooperated with the army to eat Batavia in one bite.

Ma defeated the Lan Sultan Agong, who was ambitious and did not take the Ming army seriously at all. In his impression, the Ming Dynasty has always been convinced by virtue.

When Zheng He went to the West, he was so powerful that he did not annex any overseas territory, nor did he destroy any country.

It’s not that Zheng He’s fleet did not have that ability. At that time, the Ming fleet was already the best in the world. Zheng He pursued a policy of being gentle, not power.

Before the army arrived at Huangming Island, the Madalan navy had already arrived at the port of Batavia and wanted to enter the port directly.

When the Ma Dalan soldiers saw the Ming warship, they were immediately shocked by the giant ship in front of them and prayed:

"Oh my God, please bless you, there are such a big ship in the world. Compared with the Ming Dynasty warships, our warships are definitely a witch."

The person who led the eleven armed ships was Ma Dalan's deputy general Shumit. He was shocked and actually had a whimful idea to capture a Ming warship.

"A man came, I sent my order to quietly approach the Ming army warship. When they were not paying attention, they immediately boarded the Ming army warship. We must use the Ming army's warships to bombard the Ming army."

At the command of Schummit, eleven grain transport ships modified by armed ships immediately sailed towards the port Dayu.

In fact, the armed ships led by Shumit were discovered by the Ming army as soon as they entered the port. The Ming army also regarded them as grain transport ships and ignored them for the time being.

However, as the grain transport ships entered the port, the Ming army found that they were approaching the Dayu quickly.
