The gold mine outside Pontianak City, the Iwachabu has already seized this place. The patriarch of the Iwacha tribe, Noguta, even rushed here in person. However, the first thing he did when he arrived was not to rescue the people who were buried in the mines, but to order the gold that had been mined but had not yet had time to be transported back. It was clear that Norktor had taken the gold as his own trophy.

"Your Excellency, Patriarch, congratulations on acquiring this gold mine. Soon, you will be one of the richest people in the whole of Pontianak. Your tribe will become exceedingly rich. When the time comes, you will be revered by all the tribesmen. A middle-aged white man stood in front of the diminutive Nogudo and said these flattering words.

"Haha! Mr. Henry, this is all your help. Why didn't we think of this way before? Mr. Henry, how much wealth can this gold mine bring me in a year? Is there a million guilders? Nou looked at Henry with a lot of eyes. In his opinion, a million guilders is already a lot.

"No, no, Your Excellency, Patriarch. You may not know it, but managing a gold mine can be a hassle. You've got to organize people to mine the ore, and then you've got to refine the ore. Especially when mining ore, a small amount of explosives is used. And the authorities' control over explosives is very strict, and you can't get it at all. Henry shook his head.

Nuo Guduo frowned immediately, the gold mine that he thought could make a lot of money now seemed to be nothing more than a flash in the pan, which made him disappointed. In his opinion, it is indeed troublesome enough to run a gold mine!

Nuogudo's reaction made Henry very satisfied. If he didn't dispel Nuoguduo's desire to run a gold mine, how could he buy it at a low price?

"Mr. Nogudo, you can sell me this gold mine. I'll take care of the business. In this way, you will be able to get another fortune. Henry said with a smile.

Knuckle thought for a moment, then asked, "So, Mr. Henry, how much money are you going to pay for this gold mine?" ”

"Two million guilders, that's already a lot of money." Henry said.

"No, I can't. A minimum of five million. Nogudo said directly.

"Okay, then five million guilders." Henry agreed. Even if you buy this gold mine for 5 million guilders, it will take two years at most to pay for the full cost. In the future, the gold mined will be pure profit!

Nogudo also realized that his offer seemed too low. However, the words had already been spoken, and he had no way to go back. After all, the Dutch were to be traded. They were protected by the Dutch colonial authorities. If it was the Chinese who had to deal with it, maybe he would have repented immediately. However, being able to get five million guilders for nothing, Nogudo was already very satisfied.

Henry also saw Nuo Guduo's thoughts, so he said: "Your Excellency, the patriarch, those Chinese will definitely give in. At that time, you can get 10 million guilders in compensation from the Zhao family, and you can also get 5 million guilders by selling the gold mines. That's a total of fifteen million guilders. That's not a small amount! ”

Nokudo nodded, indeed. Fifteen million guilders were an astronomical sum for him.

It's just that they seem to think that all this is too simple. The reason why they thought they had eaten this gold mine was that the Zhao family did not dare to resist them. They all thought that the Chinese were still weak and could be bullied. However, in fact, the Chinese were ready to resist for a long time. Therefore, this time they are destined to have an empty bamboo basket.

"Patriarch. It's a big deal, the Chinese are calling? At this moment, a native of the country prayed to Nogudo with a frightened face.

"What? Do those weak Chinese dare to resist? What about Nohun? Nogudo was furious. As the patriarch of a large tribe with a population of more than 30,000, he is still very powerful.

"Nuo Hun, Nuo Hun has been killed by those Chinese." Indigenous reports.

"Damn. How bold they are to dare to kill our people. Everyone, prepare to follow me and kill all those Chinese. Nogudo roared angrily, and immediately rushed down the mountain with the people.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "The crisp sound of gunshots like fried beans was heard, with occasional explosions.

"Did those Chinese really resist? How is this possible that they also have a large number of weapons and even artillery? How dare they? Henry panicked too. When the Chinese were no longer weak and picked up guns and began to resist, the Dutch still wanted to ride on the heads of the Chinese to make a fortune, which was simply impossible. Therefore, Henry immediately led his men down the mountain, and he did not want the Chinese to find out that he was behind the scenes.

Of course, Henry wasn't going to give up. Once he returns to Pontianak, he will immediately respond to the local garrison. The Chinese actually have powerful weapons, not only guns, but even cannons, and this is still possible? This is clearly an attempt to overthrow the rule of the Dutch. The Dutch colonial authorities, however, have always been wary of the Chinese, for fear that the Chinese will threaten their colonial rule.

Henry believed that if the colonial authorities knew that these Chinese had taken possession of powerful armed forces, they would not have given up. At that time, once the authorities suppress the Chinese, he can still buy the property that originally belonged to the Chinese from the authorities at a low price. Even more than what I was able to get this time.

The thought of this made Henry's heart feel hot.

At the same time, the battle at the foot of the mountain continued. The attack of the Chinese armed forces on the natives is fiercely unfolding. Although, this is the first actual combat of the Chinese armed forces since their establishment. However, they only had the standard equipment of the Imperial Army in their hands, and they were only dealing with the natives with long hair, knives and guns. This directly led to a completely one-sided situation in the battle.

Originally, the Chinese young people were a little nervous when they went to the battlefield for the first time, and many of them even trembled. However, under the orders of the instructors, they calmly fired at the natives. Although their marksmanship was not very good, they still caused heavy casualties among the natives under the heavy impact of bullets. This made them gradually calm down and play better and better.

The transformation from a recruit to a veteran is actually a bloody process. After seeing blood, and the guts have been trained, then there is no big problem. Hundreds of Chinese soldiers, against some natives, even if they are inferior in numbers, can still firmly gain the upper hand.

"Bang!"

A crisp gunshot rang out, and one of the natives fell to the ground screaming. The Chinese soldier who did all this last night aimed his guns at another native.

Most of the Chinese living in Nanyang have been oppressed by these natives. So, when dealing with these natives, they can be ruthless.

"It's a pretty good fight. It's already very good to have such a performance on the battlefield for the first time. Set up both heavy machine guns and mortars. Don't waste too much time. Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Yunnong ordered.

"Yes, sir." One of the officers nodded.

Soon, two heavy machine guns and two 60mm mortars were erected and opened heavy fire on the natives. The heavy machine gun's bullets made the natives fall to the ground as if they were harvesting wheat. Mortar shells exploded among the indigenous population, scattering shrapnel and harvesting the lives of the indigenous people.

The patriarch of the Iwacha tribe, Nogudo, was already in the guts.

"Damn, how can those Chinese have so many rifles, even cannons, how can they continue to fight?" Knuckle was shocked. The reason why he dared to trouble the Chinese was because they were natives and powerful. The number of Chinese in Nanyang was not comparable to that of the natives. In addition, the character of the Chinese has always been very docile and submissive.

But now, these Chinese actually picked up powerful weapons to resist, how can they, the natives who are only equipped with cold weapons, be the opponents of these Chinese?

Nogudo immediately ordered a retreat, but under the pursuit of the Chinese, the natives who captured the gold mines suffered extremely heavy casualties, and only a few managed to escape. The patriarch of the Iwacha tribe, Nokuta, is one of them.

The Chinese armed forces recaptured the gold mines, but the fighting did not stop. The conflict between the Chinese and the local aborigines began to expand. However, this time, the Chinese did not suffer. Not only did they not suffer, but they also had an advantage in the conflict. Many of those indigenous people have been killed in the conflict.

At the same time, the conflict between the Chinese and the indigenous was not confined to Pontianak, but also intensified in other parts of the Dutch East Indies.

Originally, because of their scarcity in number, the Chinese were not many indigenous opponents. Indigenous people, by virtue of their numbers, are often able to have an absolute upper hand in conflicts. However, when the Chinese used a large number of weapons in the conflict, the situation changed completely. The Chinese completely pressed the natives to fight, making the natives pay a huge price.

The whole Dutch East Indies seemed to have become chaotic all at once. Wherever there is a large concentration of Chinese, there are conflicts between Chinese and indigenous people. It's just that this time Hua is a lot stronger. The natives who fought were in disarray and suffered heavy losses.

In just one week, many parts of the Dutch East Indies took revenge on the conflict. The growing scale of the conflict between the Chinese and the indigenous people in the Dutch East Indies made the situation seem in danger of spiraling out of control. At this time, the Dutch colonial authorities also realized that the situation seemed to be in trouble. They want to intervene. However, it soon became clear to them that the situation was no longer out of their control. (To be continued.) )
