When Qiu Fengji was training slaves and repairing the earth, his fellow villager Wang Jia joined the third platoon of the third platoon of the sixth company of the third battalion of the third musket regiment of the first independent brigade of the army as a supplementary soldier, the brigade commander was Zhou Quanbin, the lucky one who conquered Batavia, the company commander of the sixth company where Wang Jia was located was called Chen Shi, who was only over twenty-five years old.

Soon after the establishment of the Southeastern Army, the officers and soldiers were generally young, but it was this army with a short history that swept across Southeast Asia.

The 1st Brigade was under the command of the Governor of Java, Tran Duc, whose first battle was used against the kingdom of Banten to the west of the island of Java.

Half of the country is west of Java and half east of Sumatra, controlling the Sunda Strait, a narrow waterway between Sumatra and Java.

The head of the country is called "Sutan", and the Council for Political Participation is set up, which is attended by the nobles, as an advisory body to Sutan, and the Prime Minister is set up for state affairs, and there are ministers of various ministries, and the local governance is the "Pathi system", that is, the provincial system in which Taishou is the local administrator.

Banten has money, they engage in intermediary trade, and profit greatly from the spice trade with Europe, Banten is an international commodity trade distribution center, with China, Indochina, India, Persia, Arabia and Turkey frequent trade exchanges, in recent years, in the Strait of Malacca Sumatra side of the Aceh strong, tax is very heavy, resulting in many merchant ships are reluctant to cross the Strait of Malacca and change to the Sunda Strait, so that the Banten country is very profitable.

It is profitable to attack it, and we will not allow others to sleep soundly on our side of the couch!

Chen De adopted a "slow shot" war strategy.

That is, after the capture of Batavia, he only cared about implementing the rule of the new land, strengthening the infrastructure, building cities, and strengthening training, and sending personnel to spy on the surrounding environment in the name of caravans, but basically there was nothing to do with the surrounding forces.

He ignored the countries and forces of Batavia until he thought the time was ripe, so he used the seals he had obtained when he conquered Batavia, forged documents based on the information of Batavia, the Netherlands, and stamped those seals, and then sent envoys to Banten to negotiate.

The royal palace of the Kingdom of Banten is resplendent and covered with gold, pillars, walls, floors, and golden thrones! Let Chen Tianxiao, the envoy of the Southeast Mansion, secretly mutter, how beautiful it would be if he could snatch this gold back!

After the establishment of the army, he was very envious of the navy's star captain Hong Xiguan as the spokesperson of the navy.

So they vigorously cultivated Chen Tianxiao, who was also so majestic and powerful, and the royal court that entered the Banten Kingdom put a lot of pressure on each other.

He was met by the twelve-year-old Sultan of the Kingdom of Banten, led by Chief Minister Reza Yousufzo, and his two generals, Ali Khalid (commander of the army) and Admiral Adi Ben of Rashamarra, were joined by a number of elders.

The kingdom of Banten ruled well in the last century, but in recent years, the courtiers have been fighting for power and falling into infighting, mostly young monarchs, and the real power is in the hands of the ministers.

They listened to Chen Tianxiao say in fluent Banten Tuan: "I am Chen Tianxiao, an army officer of the Southeast Province, and I am ordered by our Governor-General, Lord Chen De, to pay tribute to His Royal Highness your country Sudan!" ”

After bowing, he explained his intentions: "The Red-haired Dutchman was defeated in Batavia, surrendered to our southeast province, and has handed over all the benefits to us!" ”

With a wave of his hand, he presented a stack of Dutch papers to one of the officers who came and handed them to the Bantens for them to peruse.

Can the people of Banten understand ghost texts?

Of course, I can't understand it, and Chen Tianxiao is responsible for explaining:

The first was a deposit of 20,000 Spanish silver dollars that had been given to the Banten people, and 200,000 silver dollars of spices were ordered, and 20,000 silver dollars of spices were either given or silver dollars were returned! Or the southeast province can fulfill the transaction in full.

The second is the Dutchman's merchant house in Banten, which is about the size of a hundred acres of land in China, located by the sea, and has a wharf in addition to buildings and warehouses, and must be returned to the southeastern province.

The third item is the loan of the Banten nobles, the IOUs are all here in the Southeast Mansion, and the money is worth about 80,000 silver dollars, and the money will be repaid!

……

Hearing Chen Tianxiao's words, Wan Dan Junchen looked at each other and couldn't make a sound!

The Kingdom of Banten was very close to Batavia, and when he heard that the Dutch had been defeated, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he celebrated: the money owed did not have to be repaid!

The land of the Dutch merchant house in Banten, because the Dutch built it well and the building was exquisite, it had already been exhausted by the magnates, and then it was built on this basis, and now this Chinese officer actually said that he wanted to take it back!

Karim, the elder of the Banten royal court, had a white hair, and he said sharply: "Their documents are fake, the Dutch have long since died, and they will not give their benefits to these Chinese at all!" ”

No wonder he reacted so much, this old guy owes the Dutch 30,000 silver dollars, is the person who owes the most money, the fall of the Dutch, so that he doesn't have to pay back, who expected the Dutch to transfer their interests to the Chinese, of course the old guy is unhappy.

Chen Tianxiao secretly thanked the brigade commander Zhou Quanbin for the speed of the march and the intact fall of the Dutch Governor's Palace into the hands of the Southeast Army when he captured Batavia, and kept a large amount of information, including IOUs from nobles from various countries.

Hongmao Fan had bad intentions and lent money to the nobles of various countries, so as to control them, and now he will use them for the southeast army to make trouble.

Chen Tianxiao said calmly: "We keep your IOU, as for the Dutch, they voluntarily transferred their interests, and there are four Dutchmen who came with me, they can testify for me!" ”

The Dutch testify for the Chinese?

Of course!

These four Dutchmen wore the uniforms of the Southeast Army, and they originally fought a naval battle with the Southeast Fleet, but they have changed into foreigners who came to China to help fight in the war, and they received the salary of the Southeast Army, and they must have spoken for the Southeast Army.

Senapati Ali Khalid said disapplausively: "This is counterintuitive, I don't believe it!" ”

People are not stupid, Chen Tianxiao said calmly: "So do you plan to recognize that our country enjoys those benefits?" ”

Ali Khalid said-for-tat: "We admit what is reasonable, we don't admit what is unreasonable!" ”

Reza Yusuf, who had not spoken up: "Please ask the envoy of the Southeast Province to go down and rest for a while, and let's discuss!" ”

After Chen Tianxiao bowed to Sudan Aziz Muhammad, he was taken down to rest by two eunuchs!

The Ming Dynasty in the east used eunuchs, and in the royal courts of Sudan, due to the large number of women, eunuchs were also used, but the southeast province did not use eunuchs.

After Chen Tianxiao left, Reza Yusuf didn't bother much, and asked everyone: "If there is a war with the Southeast Army, are you sure?" ”
