The Rise of the European Emperor
Chapter 1115
The Sixth Legion was established to assist the First Legion in defending the capital of Aurich. Now that there are officers and soldiers, the formation is very smooth.
However, taking into account the need for the Sixth Legion to guard Aurich alone when necessary. Because, the First Army may have to go south to rescue the Second Army or eastward to rescue the Third Army. Therefore, Marin felt a little uneasy.
After all, in the city of Orich, he has the biggest concern in the world. The main force of the Sixth Army was the Scottish descendants, and Marin did not trust them very much. If the Sixth Legion mutinied while defending the city alone, his dear Angela and son Caesar would be out of luck.
After thinking it over and over again, Marin made adjustments to the plan for the formation of the Sixth Army. However, the one who assisted the First Army in guarding Aurich became the Second Army originally stationed in the Ruhr area. The Sixth Army and the Second Army exchanged and were stationed in the Ruhr area.
Marin thought about it, although the Ruhr area is important, but before he promoted briquettes and steam engines, the importance of the Ruhr area was invisible to everyone. Therefore, there is no need to send elites like the Second Corps to garrison. Recruits like the 6th Army Corps are sufficient for the task of defending the Ruhr area.
Also, the Sixth Legion was not a legion made up entirely of recruits. After adjustment, the soldiers of the Sixth Legion consisted of 7,000 Scottish descendants and 3,000 North Sea veterans. In addition, the middle-level officers are all skilled veteran officers, and the combat effectiveness of this legion is not low.
The only worry was that the 7,000 Scots of the VI Corps would mutiny and demand their return to their homeland of Scotland. So Marin didn't put them in Dourich, and didn't change them to Schleswig. Because these two places are very close to the sea. Once the Scots surrendered to mutiny, they could quickly hit the sea and seize the boat to escape back to their hometown.
After they were moved to the Ruhr area, they had no chance to take the ship and return home. Although it is said that there is no shortage of boats on the Rhine, those boats are basically inland boats, which are not enough to sail in the North Sea. So, placing the VI Corps in the Ruhr helped to reassure the Scots. It was only early days, until these Scottish descendants were used to the rules and training of the Sixth Army. At that time, with such a large amount of training every day, they have nothing to think about.
And Duorich had the two most powerful armies stationed in the First Army and the Second Army, and Marin could also leave with confidence to go to the Ming Dynasty.
...
But before leaving, Malin made a special trip to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, and signed a "Lisbon Treaty" with King Manuel I of Portugal.
This "Lisbon Treaty" mainly stipulates in detail the ownership of Dongfan Island. Next, Marin will use Dongfan Island as a springboard to communicate with the Ming Dynasty.
However, he was worried that Portugal would cause trouble on the grounds that "Dongfan Island belongs to the Ming Dynasty and should belong to Portugal". Therefore, he made a special trip to Lisbon in advance, negotiated with Manuel I the ownership of Dongfan Island, and left evidence in black and white. In this way, the Portuguese will not be able to say anything in the future.
The reason for this is mainly because the previous treaty signed in Rome stipulated that the Ming Dynasty was the colonial sphere of Portuguese influence. At present, Dongfan Island is not under the jurisdiction of Daming. Once Marin lets Dongfandao join Daming in the future, it may cause diplomatic disputes. That's why Marin signed such an agreement with the Portuguese to stop the Portuguese before going out.
In order to show sincerity, Marin also took out a general map of the Ming Dynasty and a nautical route map in exchange.
In fact, early last year, the Portuguese stole the nautical charts from Columbus and Comte and sent a ship to Daming. Moreover, they also set out the news that there is a huge tin mine near Kuala Lumpur, the Kingdom of Malacca...
The Portuguese did not know that it was Marin who let them leak it to Portugal on purpose, and thought they had stolen a huge secret. Moreover, in terms of interests, if Portugal seizes Malacca, it will indeed benefit a lot.
Therefore, Marin asked for a contract this time, and Manuel I agreed very well. after all,
He was guilty of a thief, thinking that he had taken advantage of Malin.
After calculating the time, the fleet sent by Portugal to Daming should also return. I just don't know how much profit I can make this time. Manuel I is full of longing for huge profits...
However, Manuel I did not know that his fleet had indeed arrived in Malacca and also went to Guangzhou. It is a pity that the Portuguese people are not right, and they planned to invade and conquer from the beginning. Therefore, the fleet sent out this time suffered a big loss...
...
The matter has to start with the batch of guns that Marin sent to the Kingdom of Malacca...
At first, Columbus was ordered to send a batch of arquebuses and Fran cannons to the Kingdom of Malacca. Although Columbus embezzled half, the other half also had 1oo arquebuses and 10 Fran cannons.
The Portuguese sent a total of 10 warships. After arriving in India, they first joined the Spanish-Portuguese Union and the fleet.
Then, the envoy of Manuel I inquired that there was indeed a kingdom of Malacca in the southeast of India. Moreover, recently it is said that a large tin mine has been found in the Kingdom of Malacca...
All of this is exactly what Conté said. So, Ricardo, the special envoy of the King of Portugal, decisively ordered the Spanish-Portuguese Union and 12 warships in the fleet to follow him to conquer the Kingdom of Malacca...
In this way, 22 Portuguese warships, fully loaded with more than 2,000 Portuguese sailors, came to the port outside the city of Malacca and attacked involuntarily.
...
In the beginning, the kingdom of Malacca was really in chaos, and the Malacca people in the city were in chaos. If the Portuguese sailors took the opportunity to attack the city immediately, they might have succeeded in the sneak attack.
It is a pity that the Portuguese first carried out a saturation bombardment on the city of Malacca because they were not sure, and did not immediately let the sailors rush into the city while taking advantage of the chaos. After all, they had inquired in India that there were more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in the Kingdom of Malacca. Such a huge scale made the Portuguese feel a little weak after listening to it. Therefore, they plan to shell first to defeat the will of the Malacca people.
...
In fact, when they started shelling, the Malaccans were in chaos, and there was even a stampede in the city.
However, the Portuguese shelled for a long time and did not send sailors to attack on the ground. Finally, the Malacca people in the city are relieved...
At this time, Malacca Sultan Mahmoud, who was in a panic, suddenly remembered that it was guns and guns? Dad also has...
Then, a Shenji battalion (imitation of the name of the Ming Dynasty) trained outside the city was transferred back to the city and climbed the city wall...
When the arquebusiers and gunners from the Malacca God Machine Battalion were deployed to the wall facing the port, the Portuguese sailors finally launched a ground attack.
But this time the Portuguese came at a bad time. The 1oo musketeers of the Malacca God Machine Battalion, relying on the city wall, caused a lot of casualties to the charging Portuguese. However, the proportion of musketeers in the Portuguese sailors was relatively low, with only more than 300 people.
If it is a field battle, the Portuguese sailors with more musketeers will definitely have an advantage. But now they are the siege side, and the Malacca Shenji Camp is the defending side... Then, the Portuguese suffer...
After dropping four hundred corpses, the Portuguese retreated in embarrassment. It wasn't until midnight that he dared to send someone to quietly collect the corpses of his comrades...
So, this time the Portuguese attack was a failure...
...
If the Portuguese fleet came back and Manuel I learned that because Marin sent guns to the kingdom of Malacca, Portugal was defeated and hundreds of people died, maybe Manuel I, who was in a rage, would detain him. Marlin...
