The Battle of Johor was fought between the Johorese and Portuguese fleet in 1586. The Johorese were victorious.
In 1586, the Johorese Sultan, Ali Jalla Abdul Jalil Shah II, also called by the Portuguese "Rajale", was disappointed with the compensation he received from the Portuguese on account of his ship being sunk in Malacca. The Sultan ordered the supplies to the city to be cut off. In retaliation, the Portuguese dispatched Pedro Vello with a fleet of eight ships with a mission to burn a town near Johor. The Portuguese achieved their objective; however, on their way to return, the Portuguese met the Johorese fleet that was awaiting them. A battle ensued between the two in which the Portuguese were badly defeated and in the process lost 4 of their ships. The Portuguese would've probably lost all of their ships, had not the intervention of a Portuguese galleon led by Pedro de Cuma Carneyro which assisted them in the escape of the remaining vessels. The Sultan, happy with his victory, decided to attack Malacca in the same year with 100 ships; however, his attack was repelled. [1] [2] [3]

Portuguese traders were executed in China and a Portuguese embassy was arrested, with their freedom promised on the condition that the Portuguese returned Malacca to its sultan. Martim Afonso de Mello arrived at the Pearl River but was blockaded by a Ming fleet despite his offers of amends.
