Laksamana Tun Abdul Jamil Paduka Raja was a Malay warrior of the Johor Sultanate. He played a major role in trying to wrest Malacca from Portuguese control. ==Laksamana Tun Jamil and Portuguese Melaka== Sultan Abdullah also known as Raja Bongsu was the de facto ruler of Johor during the reign of Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah III al-Mansur. The Johor Sultanate made contact with the Dutch East India Company when the Dutch made several visits to Johor; Jacob Van Heemsberk in 1602, Jacob Pietersz Van Enkhuijen in 1603 and Admiral Wijb An Wijck Mei in 1604. Sultan Abdullah made a pact with the Dutch to attack the Portuguese in Melaka and retake the city, putting it under Malay rule. Laksamana Tun Abdul Jamil was chosen to lead the 1606 Johor expeditionary force against the Portuguese garrison in Melaka. The force comprised 50 war perahu and 3000 warrior. The Dutch contributed 11 men-of-war. The Dutch admiral Cornelis Matelief de Jonge had under his command the ships. The ships were ''Oranje'', ''Nassau'', ''Middelburg'', ''Witte Leeuw'', ''Zwarte Leeuw'', ''Mauritus'', ''Grote Zon'', ''Amsterdam'', ''Kleine Zon'', ''Erasmus'' and ''Geuniveerde Provincien''. On 18 May 1606, the Malay-Dutch force laid a siege on Melaka. A Portuguese fleet of 14 warships was sent by the Viceroy of Goa to relieve the Portuguese garrison. A naval battle ''was fought on 17 August 1606. The Dutch ship ''Nassau'' was boarded by ''Santa Cruz'' and the Nossa Senhora Conceição''. After suffering losses when the ''Middelburg'' and ''Nassau'' were lost, Matelief withdrew his force to the Johor River for repairs. With the loss at sea, Tun Abdul Jamil was forced to abandon the land siege. A second attempt was made in September 1606. The Johor contingent was again led by Tun Abdul Jamil. While the sea battle saw a Dutch victory, the land siege again failed, and the Johor forces withdrew. Sultan Abdul Jalil became Sultan (with assistance from the Dutch) in 1638. In 1640, another attempt by a Johor - Dutch expeditionary force was made to capture Melaka. The Johor force consisted of 40 war perahus and 1,500 warriors, again led by Laksamana Tun Abdul Jamil. In August 1640, they successfully laid siege to Melaka, until the surrender of the garrison in January 1641. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tun Abdul Jamil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
