"Lord Dong, on behalf of the Dutch government, I would like to protest to you."

"Recently, your country's newspapers have published many remarks that damage and jeopardize Sino-Dutch friendship, does this represent the will of your government?"

Of course, Dong Huan refused to say yes.

The Dutch representative in China, then, was outraged by De Kermar, who was also the senior business officer of the Dutch East India Company in China. "If not, I hope that your government will urge your country's General Administration of Press and Publication as soon as possible to clean up newspaper public opinion and punish those newspapers that publish irresponsible reports. Don't let these false words set off a wave that jeopardizes the friendly relations between China and the Netherlands, and really hurt the friendship between China and the Netherlands! ”

Dai Kerma's words are very diplomatic, China and the Netherlands have a ghost friendship, if it weren't for the current accident in Nanyang, Dai Kerma would not have been on the door of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs once in half a year, and Dai Kerma's tone of speech is also very strong. In addition to these few words, his request to meet Dong He this time was just for those newspapers that were too 'passionate', and there was nothing else. This really shows the Netherlands' 'lack of confidence'.

Dequelmar soon walked out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A young man at the side of the carriage opened the door for Dyquelma. "Sir, what is the reply from the Chinese government?" Recently, the image of the Netherlands and Spain in China has deteriorated dramatically, which has affected the company's interests. And Deckerma represented not just one East India Company, but the whole of the Netherlands.

"Hehe, young man, you're thinking too simply. How is it possible to get an indication right away? This is in the interest of the country. Deckerma laughed. The Chinese are stirring up and guiding public opinion at home, not only against the Netherlands and Spain, but also against Britain and Russia. He was going to teach the young man in front of him a lesson. "You have to remember that the public opinion of the country cannot turn its back on the interests of the country."

"China has now settled on Surabaya, and even if we have the support of Britain, France, Portugal and Spain behind us, it cannot change the fact that the port of Surabaya is now in the hands of the Chinese." After all, Britain and France can no longer cooperate, and a divided Britain and France are a divided Europe, where China can really be stopped.

"Don't forget, China is an extremely centralized country. The supreme power of the state was in the hands of the Great Emperor of China. If he hadn't swallowed the heart of the port of Surabaya, would the recent actions of the Chinese be so fast? ”

"So how could the entire government, as the embodiment of the will of the Chinese emperor, change the direction of its actions because of a fluttering protest?"

To a large extent, Dai Kerma came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to meet Dong He to express the attitude of the Dutch who are unwilling to 'break relations,' and to a certain extent, this is a sign of weakness.

No way. The Chinese have already mobilized more troops to Surabaya, and Borneo, led by Pontianak, is said to have begun mobilization. Even without the intervention of the Chinese Army, relying only on the Chinese army in Borneo would have made Batavia distressed.

Now Deckier can only 'stabilize' the situation as much as possible, even if it shows weakness, it cannot let China's public opinion continue to slide into the abyss. Then it was a matter of quietly waiting for Batavia to send an envoy.

In diplomacy, Dong Huan did not listen to Dequelma's protest at all.

The Surabaya incident is China's prestige in the South Seas. Not to mention that the victim is still the current uncle of the country. The Sultanate of Yogyakarta must pay the price it deserves.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, China's influence in the South Seas region will not only be greatly increased, but also some territory will be taken advantage of by China. For example, Madura Island, as well as Bali, an island that the Dutch don't care much about, Dong He couldn't understand how his Emperor His Majesty could be so fascinated by that island.

But there are many actions of his own emperor that make people so incomprehensible.

For example, several places in Aba in Sichuan, such as a few tea trees in Jiulongyao in Wuyi Mountain, are all so confusing.

They just need to do it.

People at the feet of the Son of Heaven will have a sense of superiority from the heart, and the ordinary people living in the administrative center are also very fond of commenting on national affairs, especially when the new dynasty is not very restrictive in speech.

Recently, too many things have happened in Nanjing, providing teahouses, teahouses, streets and alleys with I don't know how much to talk about.

Chen Ming also heard the news that someone was already preparing to make up a script about the Li family. provoked the Department of Education and Corrections and the Press and Publication Administration to be like a great enemy, and they were ready to fight.

But in Borneo, thousands of miles away, the Chinese people here are not concerned about gossip, but about real interests.

The Surabaya incident does not affect only one part of Surabaya, but the whole of South Seas. The status and influence of the Chinese in Nanyang. All changes are closely related to the vital interests of the people of West Borneo.

Years of investment and immigration have turned West Borneo into a huge rice and pepper plantation!

Borneo is a region of tropical tropics, full of lush forests, but the land here is very barren and has relatively few resource reserves. In addition to rice cultivation, the local crops are cassava, cucumber and pumpkin. Pepper is grown on a large scale by Chinese, and then a small amount of rubber has been cultivated here in the past two years.

So Borneo is much worse here than in Java, where volcanic ash is everywhere. But fortunately, the export of timber and the export of rice and pepper have accumulated a good fortune here. And the agarwood here is especially popular with the heavenly world.

Borneo is mountainous in the middle and surrounded by plains, with low terrain in the south. As a result, most of Borneo's rivers are navigable and are an important and often the only lifeline for trade and commerce. The northern island tends to be narrow, and the river flow mileage is short, so the northern hinterland of the island has always been isolated from the world.

Now a large number of Chinese have poured in, and large-scale rubber plantations have been built with the support of the government, in addition to pepper that the Chinese have cultivated on a large scale. In addition, the cultivation of kage dyes (extracted from the bark of red trees) and highland tobacco leaves, as well as the cultivation of coffee, cocoa, large and hemp, were newly developed.

Combined with the timber, the traditional export mainstay of Borneo, the per capita income of the Chinese here is much higher than that of the farmers in the country.

In the past few years, more than a dozen steam ovens have sprung up in Pontianak alone, and Borneo is located in a tropical rainforest area, which is rich in timber resources. Now is not the 21st century, it doesn't matter whether the environment is protected or not, this large area of forest with no edge can be seen, that is the wealth given by God.

The whole South Seas is constantly cutting down trees, cutting trees, cutting trees......

In recent years, China's demand for timber has increased rapidly. In addition to being used in the shipbuilding industry, it is more for private consumption. Among them, the price of the precious wood produced in Borneo has soared!

In a word, the world is peaceful and people's livelihood has been restored. Naturally, the requirements for living and living are rising. The boom in timber trading and the high wages of loggers often absorb the immigrants who have just arrived at the first time.

And these mainland immigrants or domestic workers who came to Borneo, no matter how poor and poor they were, joined the logging team, worked hard for two or three years, and then had a family to live in a new place.

While the logging industry has some dangers, mosquitoes and poisonous organisms in the tropics are their worst enemies. But it's also better than in the mines!

The collapse of that mine cave was the death of dozens of people.

And there are hundreds of people of all kinds. What's more, the basic base of the Chinese population in Borneo has exceeded 500,000, relying on the Chinese armed forces, the boundaries of West Borneo are also constantly moving north, south and east, the Sultan of Brunei, Sultan Omar Ali Saifultin I, is afraid, and the entire Sarawak is now actually occupied by the Chinese guards.

The strength of the Chinese, as well as the scourge of second-rate people, ruffians, and hooligans hidden among these immigrants, began to multiply rapidly. There are more than 300,000 immigrants, and it is impossible for all of them to be honest and capable people.

The former is like a fly that you carry with a cow when you go home, and it is impossible to completely eradicate it. Everything depends on the local officials who are not officials, cleaning up again and again, and forcing them to relocate and open up the wasteland again and again.

In many places in the Chinese-controlled areas, the Chinese villages on the plains and the natives in the rainforest, the Chinese lumberjacks and the natives in the rainforest are fighting everywhere.

Kill a native, and you can get a penny from the chieftain.

The Chinese 'reclamation' of Borneo was like the colonization of the Americas by Europeans, soaked in the blood of the aborigines.

And this result is also to train a group of Chinese who can fight and dare to kill.

-- As long as you are bold and dare to play with your life, you will have the opportunity to make a lot of money.

Not to mention anything else, as long as you can find a piece of precious wood in the woods, you can make a fortune one by one.

But with the good ones will look forward to the better.

The ash-strewn island of Jawa is so much richer than Borneo that even Borneo's richest wood resources are dwarfed by those of Java, a treasure trove of teak.

Because in the eyes of hundreds of thousands of Chinese people in Borneo, the port of Surabaya is Chinese. If you eat the meat in your stomach, no one can take it away. And for the Sultan of Yogyakarta, the imperial court also had to punish severely. Otherwise, it will affect the dignity of the Chinese, and the indigenous people should be rampant again.

"There is an order from above, to gather three thousand people at once and sail to the island of Madura; Gather 5,000 troops and enter Bali. "The fact that Madura Island and Bali were actually occupied by the Chinese.

There is not much difference in the area of the two, both have one-seventh of Taiwan, mainly because the land is quite fertile and can be dried salt. In the hands of the Chinese, it can immediately become an old hen that lays golden eggs.

Regardless of whether there are difficulties in Borneo, now is a good opportunity for Chen Han to devour it, if Borneo fails to grasp the opportunity, all the officials above who are not officials will be sinners.

However, the per capita income here in Borneo is quite high, and the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Guards crushes the natives, but the total number of Chinese Guards in Borneo is only about 3,000 people, and there are eight battalions that are not fully manned.

It's not that the 'rulers' in West Borneo don't want to expand the Guard, it's that no one wants to come to the Guard as a militia.

The training of the Chinese Guards is heavy, the danger is high, and the money is not much - relatively.

In addition to the initial popularity, which tended to be the demand of the Chinese people for an armed force of their own, the number of troops once increased from 5,000 to 6,500, but a few years later, with the fall of the indigenous tribes, with the subjugation of the Sultan of Brunei, and with the spread of countless news of fortune, the importance and attractiveness of the army began to decline, and the number of soldiers began to continue to decline, until now there are only 3,000 or a few hundred left.

The Chinese of this era are really different from the Chinese people of the Han and Tang dynasties, everyone does not have the strength to seek the marquis on the bow horse, and the spirit of martial and enterprising, and the generosity of dying is getting farther and farther away from the people of Pingtou, and the latter is more concerned about their own small life. In particular, when there is a certain guarantee of life, the enthusiasm of the people to join the army is greatly reduced. This is just like the eastern coastal areas of Chen Ming's previous life, the local government still has special preferential treatment for people of appropriate age who are willing to be soldiers, and there are many places in the central and western regions that are not rich, what else do you want to be a soldier.

Chen Ming's various preferential treatment measures for military personnel are aimed at improving the economic and social status of military personnel, but it is really not something that can be done casually to change the 'tradition' of a nation that has existed for thousands of years. It takes a long time to persevere!

At present, Borneo has fallen into this stage, and it is not a simple matter to get those ordinary people who do not worry about eating and drinking to stand up and dance with knives and guns. Many of the newcomers from the mainland have either signed agreements with plantations, become members of logging teams, or become miners, fish company employees, or start small businesses with the help of relatives and friends who came here earlier. No matter how bad it is, he is still holding a loan from the state and scavenging in the ground safely.

"This task must be completed, no matter what difficulties there are, they must be overcome, and we must finally gather these 8,000 people!"

Wu Xiqun shouted loudly. This task must be completed, and the success or failure of the matter is related to his future and the fate of the Wu family.

At the beginning, Wu Xiqun withdrew from the ranks of the Qing army's naval divisions that surrendered in Fujian, and cleanly handed over the military power in his hands, and he gradually achieved the right participation in politics in the province from the position of Fuzhou prefect. That is, the second-ranked deputy governor!

The governor is also the main position of the local provincial official, and then the official title of participating in politics is selected left and right, and then the senate is lowered. Shaking for several years, the title was finally decided.

But Wu Xiqun suffered a setback when he went to the next level, and Wu Xiqun, who didn't want to make a circle in the position of participating in politics, found another way to West Borneo, which was still relatively reckless at that time. This has been done for four years, and it has firmly established its mark in the development of Borneo. But Wu Xiqun has never forgotten his original intention.

He didn't come to Borneo to be satisfied, he still had to go back to the mainland and ascend to the throne of governor of a province.

If this great opportunity to eat 'meat' is missed, won't it put a layer of dust on his already bright prospects?

The imperial court took the trouble to prepare for so long and made such a careful plan, but it was not to watch the opportunity slip away in vain. If Wu Xiqun fails to act now, it will be a great crime.

"Overcome all difficulties and resolutely complete it."

……

At the Pontianak Police Station, Zou Daxing looked at his commander with a frightened expression.

"Isn't it? So ruthless from above? "They directly 'disbanded' all their security patrols, and then all of them 'emigrated'.

"As long as this matter is settled, you are still the police when you come back. I'll also give you extra points to upgrade. But if anyone dares to be a turtle with a shrunken head, take off his clothes and get out of me immediately. "The military demanded 8,000 people, and these 8,000 people could not all be armed with knives and guns, but they would also maintain at least half of the force. Among them, there are 1,000 members from the police system, and 200 people from the Pontianak security patrol.

"No, no, bureau, bureau......" Zou Daxing immediately put away the emoji on his face, and said with a straight face: "Bureau, you know, I, Zou Daxing, am not a person who is afraid of death, but my three brothers are all in the security patrol." "At that time, the Zou Daxing brothers cut people's braids in their hometown, and their reputation was so bad that they became home, but they also fell into the eyes of the Chen Han government, and received an errand in the secret camp at that time, and they followed the immigration ship to Borneo within two years. The brothers can fight and dare to kill, but Zou Daxing is really confused about words and numbers, and he only became a squadron leader in the guard, and after quitting, he became the head of the security patrol in the Pontianak Police Station. "The third child of my family was stabbed by the aborigines back then, and his legs were a little inconvenient, and he really couldn't go. The second child and I will definitely go, take a good start, and never be deserters, but where is the third child, you see ......"

The director was not ambiguous at all, and waved his hand: "I'll arrange it for you." Your old three-brained melon is the best among your brothers, and in the past few years, I have followed the teacher to read and write, and I have been transferred to the household registration department. ”

Household registration police, this can be said to be the most popular department in the entire Pontianak Police Department. It's safe.

"Okay. Just wait for the news. Give me two days, and I'll get the whole security patrol team done. ”

"There are no two days, only one day. I'm going to board the ship the day after tomorrow. You'll have to convince everyone of me by noon tomorrow......" (To be continued.) )
