Victory in Malacca

There is no South East Asian Centered TL here yet..so I am writing it

Victory in Malacca
The position of the Portuguese in India was consolidated with the arrival of a new Viceroy, Afonso de Albuquerque, who conquered Goa in 1510. Having established Goa as the Portuguese eastern headquarters and naval base, de Albuquerque decided to capture Malacca and in April 1511, left Goa with 18 ships and 1400 men, comprising both Portuguese troops and Indian auxiliaries.

Upon their arrival in Malacca, the Portuguese did not attack immediately, but instead began negotiations for the return of their prisoners while the same time try to find any insider information regarding Malacca Fortress.

The generals were determined to win the war Malaccan troops attacked the Portuguese and destroyed the Portuguese troops in Malacca despite the fact that the King was Procrastinating, this happened because someone discovered that someone is collaborating with the Portuguese and convinced the troops that they should never pause because any delay will cause a defeat.

In a separate situation, the traitor was caught and thrown outside of Malacca.

The armies shown their bravery and love for their own land, something that the people around them would admire and emulate.

The Sultan of Malacca thought that the war would end up as a failure but ended up as a success to the people of the Sultanate of Malacca

In the second attempt that they tried to conquer Malacca in 1512 it ended up in failure so it was not tried again, this was an inspiration of the other Southern Asian Kingdoms to resist Western aggression towards them.

This battle was commemorated by the people of Malacca even to the present day because it has changed history.

On around 1510’s Malay and Javanese missionaries, in Sapa were able to convert populations more in the deeper part of the Bannag river basin in the Irraya and Irrita area and the Eastern banks of the Pampanga river, the Iburakan area, the people and the nobles were not really converted but they were able to convert a considerable minority which intermarried with the missionaries and also expanded in population.

However, this conversion would mean the people of Sapa and Selurong would now be more in favor of the rule of Suleiman I, the son of Kalangitan of Sapa and Selurong who married Lontok, the son of Sultan Bolkiah.

The old name of Suleiman I was Salalila as the son of Dayang Kaylangitan and Lontok, in this time the Ibanag, Iluko, Kapampangan and Kumintang Visayans have been partially converted even before Suleiman I.

This would cause the failure of the Pagan Party in the island of Selurong on the latter part of the 16th Century.
