In the port of Pattani, the five Western battleships belonging to France to support Nguyen Phuc Anh had set sail, taking with them more than 1,200 sailors and 200 soldiers of the black flintlock company belonging to the 2nd Regiment.

This time, Ye Kai's maritime strength has decreased a lot, and it is no problem to fight the Bugis, but it is not enough to move the Dutch!

But in fact, if these people don't leave, Ye Kai can't afford to raise them, close to 3,000 sailors and 2,400 army troops, plus the Ye family's 3,600 clan soldiers, this is a small 9,000 people.

The total population of the Ye family is only in the early 100,000s, and almost ten people raise a soldier, and these ten people also include the elderly and children.

It is even more terrifying when subdivided, almost five middle-aged laborers have to raise a soldier, which is still not divided between men and women.

Therefore, the current situation of the Ye family is destined to not last, and after a long time, without the Bugis people to fight, they will have to go bankrupt.

After sending these people away, the next step is to train the two French mercenary regiments and the Ye family regiment.

The strength in his hands now adds up to nearly 5,000 people, a brown bass flintlock pistol with a clear weapon, and a company of light infantry, although the loading of the Minin front-loading rifled gun is very slow, but the accuracy is high, and in the hands of the elite light infantry, the lethality is still very terrifying.

In addition, Ye Kai also had an extremely valuable artillery battery, equipped with 3 12-pounder field cannons, 6 8-pounder field cannons, 6 4-pounder field cannons, and 10 12-inch Gomel mortars.

Among them, the cannons belong to the Greebois type bronze cannon with a tractor, which is particularly convenient to move, and there are even 30 Austrian artillerymen trained by the famous artillery expert Greeboar, which is also the most precious gift that Queen Mary got for him at the time of parting.

Twenty-five of Europe's most advanced artillery pieces and hundreds of European elite artillerymen are extremely powerful in Nanyang, and I believe they will definitely turn the Bugis people upside down.

In view of the luxurious configuration on his side, coupled with the current regular army strength of the Bugis, which is about 25,000 people, Ye Kai decided to only train 5,000 people, so as to attract the Bugis people to take the initiative to fight with him.

The Malay Peninsula is so big, if the Bugis fight with him, I don't know how long it will take!

But Ye Kai only sent out 5,000 people, if the Bugis people didn't dare to come up to besiege, then they wouldn't have to mess around in Nanyang.

Ye Kai didn't have time to play any intrigues, what he wanted was a dignified battle, he wanted to beat the Bugis into hell with dignity, so that the Chinese in Nanyang, and even the Dutch and English could see his strength!

After sending off Ruan Thi Ngoc Wan and Nguyen Phuc Kyung and Peter, Ye Kai returned to the Ye family's ancestral house and began to write invitations.

He has now reorganized the Ye family, and also reorganized the Hongmen Fuxing Hall that he set up with He Xiwen, Zhang Chaorong and others before he left, because of Zhang Chaorong's anti-water, this so-called Fuxing Hall has become a joke.

Moreover, when he established the Fuxing Hall, he did not invite the Hongmen bigwigs of the Tiandihui in the land of Nanyang to testify, according to the rules handed down by the Hongmen, the opening of the mountain and the church must be witnessed and recognized by the respected Hongmen bigwigs, so the Fuxing Hall he made before he left was strictly not established.

So this time, after the reorganized Fuxing Hall, Ye Kai is ready to invite all Chinese Hongmen Halls from all walks of life to witness it together!

Not only to witness the establishment of the Ye Family Fuxing Hall, but Ye Kai also wanted them to witness that they defeated the Bugis people with outnumberedness, and let them regard themselves as towering trees that they could rely on in Nanyang.

The last time the Bugis attacked the Ye family, in addition to Zhang Chaorong's rebellion, several Chinese families also had to supply materials to the Bugis to make money, these broken habits are not changed, and the life of the Chinese will not be better!

Ye Kai had an ambition, he hoped that through several wars with the Bugis, while completely destroying this nation, he could attract all the Chinese in Nanyang to his side, so as to achieve the scale of the Chinese population under his control to about 500,000.

Only when the Chinese under him reach this base, can he have the capital to wrestle with Ruan Phuc Ying in a few years!

He was able to hold the United Rubber Company firmly in his own hands, and he knew how profitable rubber was in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

If he didn't have an army that would make it difficult for the British, and if he didn't have enough nationalities in the Malay Peninsula, the United Rubber Company, which would make a lot of money in the future, probably wouldn't belong to him!

If the British are not ruthless, they may reserve a small stake for Ye Kai, and if they are ruthless, they will definitely send troops directly to occupy it!

Historically, Ye Kai estimated that the probability of the British being ruthless was extremely high, and no matter what his relationship with the bigwigs in London was, he would not be able to stop it.

Therefore, it is necessary to make itself strong to the point that the British need to carefully weigh the pros and cons, and it is estimated that it is impossible for the lobster soldiers to be hard anus in a short period of time, but it is still possible to make the British government feel that it is extremely uncost-effective to start a war.

Writing, writing, Ye Fulai walked in from outside, and before the person could stand firmly, Ye Fulai gasped and asked Ye Kai.

"I heard Koo Lihuan say, are you going to hold the Malays in places like Chita and Perak accountable?"

Ye Kai slowly put down the pen in his hand, and then nodded, "Yes, our main enemies now are the Bugis, the most important thing is to defeat them, you might as well be generous to other Malays, as long as the Sultan of Chida and the Sultan of Perak are interested, you might as well let them have a few more days!" ”

The theory of the great librarian is undoubtedly very correct in uniting all forces that can be united to strike at a handful of diehards and enemies.

Unite the vast majority, strike a small part, and when the small part is eliminated, start to unite a large part, and then eliminate a small part of it, and so on, until only their own people remain, ruthless enough, poisonous enough, effective enough!

Ye Kai's current strategy towards the Malays must abide by this principle, because Ye Kai found that what he thought was wrong before, he thought that the relationship between the Nanyang Chinese and the Malay natives must be very bad, but in fact this is not the case.

Through careful observation and investigation, Ye Kai found an unusual place, in fact, the relationship between the Chinese and the Malays in the Malay Peninsula at this time was quite good!

Ordinary Malays had neither the money, nor the skill nor the spirit to endure hardship, so the Malay aristocracy liked to hire or form alliances with the Chinese, and use the Chinese to develop ports or mines.

And the Chinese also took advantage of the relatively friendly relationship with the Malays to settle down as soon as possible, so in general, the relationship between the Chinese and the Malays in this era is not bad!
