Chapter 2960
The Malacca Dynasty was established in the early [-]th century. In the official records of the Ming Dynasty, it was actually called Manlajia.This Southeast Asian country established a tributary relationship with the Ming Dynasty as early as the Yongle period.King Bailimi, the founder of Malacca, once went to Daming to pay homage to Ming Chengzu, and obtained the edict and seal of the canonization of the king.
Haihan followed the nomenclature of the traveler, corresponding it with the place name in the database, and called it Malacca.
In its heyday, the Malacca dynasty had a very large territory, extending from southern Siam all the way to Sumatra, Java, and the northwest of Borneo.
However, the Malacca dynasty rose rapidly and declined rapidly.Just 100 years later, the Portuguese came to the Straits of Malacca and quickly changed the situation here.
The Portuguese naturally understood the importance of the Strait of Malacca, a sea route connecting the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea, and the only thing that prevented the Portuguese from seizing this maritime strategic point was the original owner, the Kingdom of Malacca.
So the war broke out immediately, and the Portuguese took two months to capture Malacca, the capital of the kingdom.In the next ten years, although the Sultan of Malacca organized counterattacks many times, because of the huge gap in the armed forces between the two sides, they eventually lost again and again, leading to the complete split of the kingdom.
The prosperous Malacca Kingdom ceased to exist, and was replaced by more than a dozen small and large states.Naturally, these small countries could no longer complete the counterattack and expulsion of the Portuguese, thus slowly forming the current situation.
"These small countries on the coast of the Gulf of Siam have stronger presences on both sides of the north and south, and there is no room for them to expand. Either they choose to maintain the status quo and be a small country honestly, or they can only grow by annexing neighboring countries. Expand your own strength. So although they are all split from the same country, the relationship between them is actually not good, and mutual defense is the norm."
Li Yuande talked about the situation in Siam Bay and his own opinions in one breath, and he couldn't help feeling a little dry.
Seeing this, Qian Tiandun asked someone to make him a cup of hot tea, and Li Yuande quickly thanked him.
Qian Tiandunfa asked, "In your opinion, what attitude should we take towards these countries?"
Li Yuande responded: "We should deter large countries, such as Siam and Cambodia, so that they dare not go south and annex other small countries easily. For small countries, we should try to make them attach to our country. If they can be accepted as vassal states, That would be the best."
Qian Tiandun wanted to test him, and continued to ask: "Then tell me, how can you give both grace and power?"
Li Yuande said: "The small countries around the Gulf of Siam have long had business dealings with us, and have sent many people to study in our country over the years. I heard that not only came to learn our culture, but also some people entered our military academies. It can be seen that our country should have a certain influence in these small countries."
Economy, culture, military, and politics are Haihan's usual means of exerting influence on neighboring small countries.However, Haihan generally does not publicize his achievements in this area, especially the latter two, which are often carried out silently, and only those in this field will know the relevant information.
As a businessman, Li Yuande is able to realize that the methods Haihan used in these countries are obviously related to his background, so he can have a higher vision than ordinary people.
Li Yuande continued: "With this fleet dispatch, it is just a matter of demonstrating force to these small countries, so that they can recognize the strength of our country throughout the whole country, and I believe it can also play a role in conquering people's hearts."
"That's right!" Qian Tiandun affirmed his opinion: "Then what kind of regional situation do you think is most beneficial to our country?"
"Maintaining the status quo in this area and not allowing a second Malacca dynasty to emerge is, in my opinion, the best situation for our country."
After Li Yuande answered, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. No one had ever discussed such an advanced topic with him before, not even the third uncle Li Nai would have such a deep conversation with him, and he didn't know if there was any deviation in his understanding.If it is wrong and affects Qian Tiandun's perception of himself, then it is really wrong.
Although Qian Tiandun looked normal, he was quite surprised in his heart. Since Li Yuande had such insight, why did the Li family only arrange for him to run a boat in the South China Sea instead of finding a way to make him enter politics.
But after thinking about it, a considerable part of Li Yuande's insight should also come from his experience of sailing in various places in the South China Sea.If not, his understanding of the situation in the South China Sea may not be as profound.
As far as this item alone is concerned, Li Yuande is indeed worthy of the word "talent". In the next military operation, he may really be able to serve as an operational consultant for the military.
Qian Tiandun didn't know that Li Yuande had long wanted to join the army. During his sailing in the South China Sea, he spent time and energy collecting a lot of information, and even made a lot of deduction in private.
Doing so can not only help Fu Ruifeng's business to a certain extent, but also allow Li Yuande, who is a military enthusiast, to enjoy his addiction to talking about military affairs on paper and make up for his regret of not being able to join the army.
It is rare to have the opportunity to talk about the regional situation he is most familiar with in front of his life idol. Li Yuande naturally wants to use all his skills to strive for further opportunities.
"When you leave tomorrow, report to the Weibang." Qian Tiandun quickly made a decision.
It is not a bad thing for the special warfare division to have one more consultant who is familiar with the situation in the South China Sea.What's more, with Li Yuande's background, he can also be regarded as a descendant of Haihan with good roots, so he can use it with confidence.
Li Yuande couldn't believe his ears. The bold speech just now really won Qian Tiandun's favor. The opportunity he dreamed of was so easy to get.
After coming out of Qian Tiandun's office, Li Yuande was still wondering if he was dreaming, and pinched himself hard to confirm that it was not a hallucination.He didn't get carried away, but calmly considered the reason why Qian Tiandun gave him the opportunity, and how to make use of his strengths in order to make this temporary appointment a long-term task.
The sudden arrival of the Haihan Fleet brought quite a shock to the Champa farmers who came to Tiaomi.In addition to selling rice and purchasing supplies, there is another project worth staying in Vung Tau Port for a few more days-watching the huge armed fleet in the port.
Most of the young people in these Champa farmers have never seen such a battle. Only a few of them who are a little older will recall the scene of the Haihan fleet passing through Vung Tau Port and heading south to Malacca in the early years.
However, it was only an armed fleet led by Roger that went south at that time, and its scale was far from comparable to the fleet in Vung Tau Port today.A lot of people are talking about it. The Haihan Army's large-scale deployment this time means that the South China Sea is about to undergo another major change.
