Batavia has two old names, one is "Sunda Galapa", which means "Coconut City", and the Han people call it "Coconut City" for short.

After the change of dynasties, it was renamed "Jaya Garda", which means "Triumph City", and the Han people simply called it "Jakarta".

As for "Batavia", it was the name changed by the Dutch.

After discussions between the imperial envoys and the local Han people, it was unanimously agreed that the old name of "Coconut City" should be restored. There will be no Jakarta or Batavia in the future.

"News just came that a sultan has emerged from the country of Matalan." Liu Hanyi laughed happily.

Sun Jie said: "Let them continue to fight. When the fight is almost complete, please ask the court to confer a title."

Now, the Sultan of Matalan is dead, even the royal family members have been killed, and the capital of Matalan has been burned to the ground.

The kingdom of Mataram was divided into five parts, four sultans and one governor.

A noble landowner established his own country in Buriangan (Bandung) and declared himself the Sultan of Buriangan.

An aristocratic landowner founded a kingdom southwest of the original capital of Mataram and declared himself the Sultan of Solo.

An aristocratic landowner founded a state southeast of the original capital of Matalam and declared himself the Sultan of Yogyakarta.

An aristocratic landowner, with the support of the local Han people, established a country in the port of Surabaya and declared himself the Sultan of Surabaya (Sultan of Surabaya).

A Han landowner established himself as the governor of Semarang, and he was the governor of Semarang under China.

These five guys all sent people to Coconut City (Batavia) to ask the Chinese Emperor to quickly canonize themselves. It would be better if the Chinese army could send troops to help.

Because they are still at war!

Sultan Bolyan was planning to expand eastward when the Banten army suddenly came from behind.

The Sultan of Solo and the Sultan of Yogyakarta had previously teamed up to kill King Matalan. They burned, killed and looted the original capital, and each built a new capital nearby. Because they were so close, the two sides were almost in a fight to the death.

On the contrary, the Sultan of Surabaya had the easiest time, constantly wiping out the small forces in the surrounding areas, and was about to unify East Java. If we continue to fight, the territory of the Sultan of Yogyakarta will be to the west, and we will have to cross the strait to attack Bali to the east.

"Ambassador, there is another messenger asking to see you."

"Bring him in."

A native with injuries all over his body was brought to Liu Hanyi, and he knelt down and said: "Please, the Chinese envoy, send troops to rescue Bo Liang'an!"

Liu Hanyi asked: "Are you sent by Sultan Bolianan?"

The indigenous envoy said: "The 100,000-strong army of the Banten Kingdom has captured Sukabumi and is marching towards Boliangan City. Lord envoy, if you don't send troops, it will be too late!"

Sukabumi is just a small town. It originally belonged to the Banten Kingdom and was forcibly occupied by the Dutch. When the Wandan army captured the area, it really wasn't called taking the opportunity to invade. It could be said to be recovering the lost territory.

"You go and recuperate first, I will take care of it." Liu Hanyi said ambiguously.

After the indigenous envoy left, Sun Jie said: "There is no need to send troops. The rainy season has arrived. It has been raining for the past two days. It is impossible for the Wandan Kingdom's army to fight again."

Liu Hanyi said: "But the Wandan Kingdom must be beaten, and they actually took the opportunity to rob the Han farms in the suburbs when we were besieging the city."

"Just reprimand the envoy and take the opportunity to draw a clear territory," Sun Jie said. "As a punishment to the Wandan Kingdom, the territory around Yecheng must be extended outward for twenty miles. But let's not go too far. We can admit it. The territory recently recovered by the Banten Kingdom.”

This suggestion is disgusting. Coconut City (Batavia) expanded twenty miles outward, and the new land was all flat land with fertile soil.

Most of the territories recently recovered by the Banten Kingdom belong to mountainous areas.

It is equivalent to allocating the former mountainous territory of Matalan to the Banten Kingdom as compensation. A large area of ​​the fertile flat land of the Banten Kingdom was ruled by China.

I’m just asking you if you want to do it or not. Who asked you to rob Han Chinese farms?

"Boom!"

The rainy season has officially arrived in Java, and it seems like a hole has been poked out of the sky, with heavy rain falling all day long.

The wars in various places have also come to an end, and everyone has called a truce. We will talk about anything after the rainy season.

The Banten Kingdom's army also retreated, with some stationed in Sukabumi, and the remaining soldiers disbanded and went home. The Sultan of Buriangan could finally take a breath. After being beaten by the Banten army, his territory was only the city of Buriangan and its surroundings. By the way, there was another sultanate in the north.

A businessman in Cirebon Port, taking advantage of the attack by Banten on Burangan, suddenly chose to launch a rebellion and declared the establishment of the Cirebon Sultanate.

The Cirebon Sultanate also existed before, and it was also the father state of the Banten Kingdom.

At that time, the Sultan of Cirebon conquered the Banten area and sent his son to serve as the Sultan of Banten. Later, the Banten Kingdom became independent from the Cirebon Kingdom, and the Cirebon Kingdom was destroyed by Matalan.

It’s great now that the palm-sized island of Java has been split into eight forces.

One is the Banten Sultanate, most of which is located on the island of Java. The second is China’s Coconut City (Batavia). The third is the Bolyan Sultanate. The fourth is the Sultanate of Cirebon. The fifth is the governor-general of Semarang. Sixth is the Sultanate of Solo. Seventh is the Sultanate of Yogyakarta. The eighth is the Sultanate of Surabaya.

Sun Jie headed to Bandan City in the rain and soon met Ageng, the Sultan of Bandan.

"Meet the Chinese envoy!" Sultan Ageng was very polite.

Sun Jie scolded: "As a Chinese subject, why did you plunder the Chinese manors and farmland? Don't tell me that it was done by bandits. We captured several people alive, and they all confessed that they were Wandan soldiers."

Ageng explained: "Your Majesty, the Chinese army is besieging Jakarta (Batavia). As a vassal state, Banten must send troops to help. Xiao Wang thought at that time that Jakarta has been surrounded, and adding more troops will have no effect. It is better to go The vassal country attacking the Netherlands was playing blue. Therefore, Xiao Wang ordered to gather troops and the vanguard troops set off early. Unexpectedly, the generals were not strict and hundreds of soldiers violated the order and looted the farm. This incident was completely accidental and was definitely not ordered by Xiao Wang. of."

Sun Jie sneered and threatened: "In this case, once the rainy season is over, it will be an accident for the Chinese army to surround Wandan City!"

Ageng was frightened by this statement. In his opinion, the Dutch army was very powerful and the Banten soldiers could not compete with it. But the Chinese army can defeat the Dutch, and its combat power can throw the Banten army out of eight streets.

Batavia was captured by the Chinese army, how could Banten City be defended?

Moreover, Ageng didn't lie, this time it was really an accident.

The land owned by Han landlords was originally encroached from the Banten territory. The local Wantan natives have a blood feud with the Han landlords.

When the vanguard of Bandan's attack on the Boliangan area passed by the outskirts of a Han manor, hundreds of local soldiers took the opportunity to go to the Han manor to rob and vent their anger. Of course, Wandan Kingdom is not without responsibility. The generals of the vanguard did not strictly restrain this, and could even be said to be condoning it.

Ageng was afraid of attracting the Chinese army, so he quickly said: "Sir envoy, we will compensate the Chinese landlords for their losses according to the price. Xiao Wang will also severely punish the generals who do not strictly restrain their soldiers."

"Of course there must be compensation, but it is not money or food. Your behavior is already a war against the sovereign country!"

Sun Jie threatened, and then the lion opened his mouth: "As punishment, all the land east of Javilan will be owned by China!"

"This...absolutely won't work!" Sultan Ageng was trembling with anger.

Sun Jie demanded a price all over the sky. Not only did he ask for the land that Wandan had just recovered, but he also cut off a large piece of Wandan's original land.

Sun Jie asked back: "Then what do you think we should do? By the way, Sultan Bolianan has asked His Majesty the Emperor of China to grant him the title. The territory you just occupied should be returned to Sultan Bolianan."

Sultan Ageng was not yet forty years old, he was young, powerful and ambitious.

Sun Jie's blackmail threats had completely angered Ageng. He wanted to kill Sun Jie with a knife, and then start a war with China regardless of the consequences.

But thinking about the Dutch people who were driven away by China, Ageng swallowed another breath of anger: "Sir Messenger, the area we captured this time was originally the homeland of the Bandan Kingdom..."

"Homeland?" Sun Jie interrupted directly, "Why don't you say that half of Ma Dalan was the territory of the original Cirebon Sultanate. And your Banten Sultanate is of the same origin as Cirebon. Do you want me to give it to you? Half of Java given to you? By the way, Jakarta (Batavia) is also the homeland of the Banten Kingdom. Do you want China to give Jakarta back?"

Ageng was speechless for a moment.

After holding it in for a long time, Ageng held back his anger and said, "Please, Lord Messenger, be more merciful."

Sun Jie wondered: "Let's do this. The territory you conquered before will be recognized by China as belonging to the Banten Kingdom. As for the area ruled by Jakarta, it will continue to extend outward for fifty miles."

Ageng said: "If it extends fifty miles outward, the newly recovered territory of the Bandan Kingdom will be separated by China's jurisdiction. From now on, when we fight against Bolian'an, we can only march hard from the mountainous areas!"

"Okay then, we will only extend outward for twenty miles, leaving a piece of flat land for the Wandan Kingdom to march." Sun Jie continued to retreat.

Ageng said in a pleading tone: "How about extending it ten miles outward?"

"Impossible!" Sun Jie refused.

Ageng could only accept it reluctantly.

To be honest, many of the territories China is expanding into belong to large forests, with only sporadic indigenous people farming and hunting. Even if you give up, it will be acceptable to Wandan Kingdom.

The main problem is the strategic location. There is only a piece of flat land on the seaside, and the Chinese jurisdiction extends outwards. The east exit channel left for Banten is very narrow, almost blocking the Banten Kingdom at the westernmost edge of Java Island!

That night, Sultan Ageng, full of anger and grievance, had to host a banquet to entertain Sun Jie warmly.

At the end of the banquet, Ageng called his eldest son Hai Yi and gritted his teeth and said: "This is an unprecedented shame. China is now very powerful and I am unable to fight China. But you must remember that when you become Sudan in the future, you must always be wary of China." People. If China continues to be strong, be careful to obey them. Once China declines, send troops to kill it, take back our Jakarta, and kill all the Chinese there!"
