While Yan Changwu was busy with meetings, Storm was also in meetings, but the place where he met was not so good, working in a prisoner of war camp.

At the end of the battle, a large number of whites became prisoners of war, and under the guidance of the Chinese, the prisoners of war started to build the barracks of the prisoner of war camp on the right side of Batavia.

Storm inspected the POW camp and expressed his displeasure, while the POWs, seeing that they were fellow villagers, complained that they did not have enough to eat.

That is, that is, they eat sweet potato porridge, less rice and more sweet potatoes, in the southeast mansion it is for pigs, plus stinky salted fish and green vegetables, not even a little more oil and water, it is strange to eat full.

This feeling is good, let them suffer, and if they can't eat enough, they will think of a way out, so that they can speak for a while.

The red-haired man was extremely skilled, and before he had a meeting with the prisoners of war, he met with two people.

One is the governor of the former Orange City in Taiwan, Mattheis, when Yan Changwu attacked the city of Orange, because he decided to surrender to Yan Changwu, after returning to Batavia, he was tried by the court and sentenced to 20 years in prison!

Poor man, he was serving his sentence in Batavia, and every day he had to go to the logging to do manual work, and in a few years he became a little old man, and he was extremely miserable.

This time, Batavia was defeated, and Mattheis was also rescued by the way.

Seeing the red-faced, oily Storm, Mattheis was speechless.

In addition to Mattheis, there was also a foreigner who was the red-haired fan Van Roth Mullen, who decided to surrender the remnants of the Dutch fleet to the Southeast Fleet.

Storm graciously condolences to Mattheis, saying that you have suffered and that you are full of leadership.

"Now that you're free, you can go anywhere!" Storm told him.

"But!" Storm changed the subject: "Your case is not settled, and the Batavian authorities are gone, they cannot retry this case, they cannot pardon you, of course, you can go back to Holland and let your case be heard there, but it is just a long way to go, and people may not be willing to help you." ”

"You didn't make any money, and when you returned to the Netherlands, you wouldn't be ashamed to see your family......" Seeing what Mattheis wanted to say, Storm raised his hand to stop him and said: "I was in the prisoner of war camp in the Southeastern Province, I thought about it, and finally ......figured it out" Storm sneered: "Back in the Netherlands, you have no money, and you have a bad reputation, you can't hold your head up for the rest of your life, and your family is affected!" You don't know the concept of our hometown people! ”

"So I joined the Southeast Army! I'm doing well now, I'm powerful, rich, and trusted by today, and I already have a knighthood, maybe I'll be the founding father of the country in the future, and the scenery is incomparable! Storm beckoned Mattheis and said, "I would be honored if you could join us!" ”

Matthew Iss was silent, of course he knew the concept of the people in his hometown, that is, he recognized money but not people!

Entering the Age of Discovery, the Dutch got into the eyes of money, many red hairs, as pirates outside, the hometown people are very clear, but they return to their hometown, the scenery is beautiful, and the hometown people don't care where your money comes from!

A penny is hard to beat a hero, Mattheis is persuaded by Storm to join the Southeastern Mansion!

Storm was overjoyed, and told him about the treatment of the Southeast Mansion, which was a good one: "This Ah Sheng, who works in our Gan family, has high labor and good welfare, not only has the accurate food period, but also pays double food at the end of the year, in addition to housing supplements, medical insurance, life insurance, long-term service and pension, and annual unit travel ......, a series of preferential treatment made Matthew is dumbfounded, and secretly blames himself for why he didn't join the Yan family early and return to Batavia to suffer!"

I regret not being at the beginning, if I had left the Yan family early, this Storm position might have been sitting by myself!

It was not empty words, considering that Mattheis was the governor of the city of Orenji, and Storm was the commander of a detachment under his command.

When Storm turned to Van Roosmaren, he didn't have to say much, this red-haired fan was already a thousand wishes.

His situation is the same as that of Mattheis, he surrendered with his fleet and returned to Holland, there will be no good fruit to eat, in that case, it is better to surrender!

With the two men in a good mood, Storm immediately called a meeting to meet with the main POW representatives and try to recruit them.

The foreigner spoke truthfully, and Storm got straight to the point and gave the conditions:

"For every prisoner of war, if someone outside pays one hundred and fifty silver dollars, he can ransom a white man out."

Storm's words, a prisoner of war shouted: "Didn't a man be redeemed for a hundred silver dollars before?" ”

This guy actually knows the previous price! Storm said without changing his face: "Prices have risen!" ”

If there is no money to ransom people, they will work for free in the southeast province, and the main work is to repair the earth, provide food and shelter, and give medical treatment when they are sick, without wages, with a little reward, and release them after five years.

If you don't work, you don't have to force it, it's the basic diet at present.

Hearing the words of "basic diet", all the red hairy fans' eyes turned green ---- they were hungry!

"There is a third way, and that is to join our Southeast Army!"

"To join our Southeast Army and fight for my Southeast Mansion, we need a large number of gunners, sailors, marines, soldiers, the more the merrier!" Storm exclaimed.

Increasing the population is an established policy of the Southeast Province, the first is to vigorously increase the number of Han people in the Southeast Province, and the Southeast Province welcomes the relatively high-quality Hongmao Fan to become the naturalized people of the Southeast Province.

Sure enough, Yan Dashao still has the psychological idea of admiring foreign flattery, or not!

Foreign conquest requires a very large population, as long as you are willing to be Chinese, no matter what Koreans, Annam and Wa people, they are after all a member of the Chinese cultural circle, and there are also Hongmaofan with a high degree of civilization, which is relatively easy to naturalize.

The don't accept it, and it's not easy for the brown-skinned guys in the jungles of Southeast Asia to become Chinese.

Storm introduced the treatment of the Southeast Mansion, and the eyes of the red hairs lit up, and then he invited Mattheis and Van Rosemaren to the top, emphasizing that the two had joined the Southeast Mansion and became a member of the Southeast Army, and after studying, they would be reused.

Van Roth Mullen was a veteran of the sea, and it was no problem to be a captain or command a troop, while Mattheis was a daughter of the city and set an example for foreigners.

How about welcoming everyone to join the Southeast Mansion? It's better to act than to be excited!

So there was a red-haired man named "Van Persie", who was unusually sturdy, brave and powerful, and the first one stood up and responded, announcing that he wanted to join the Southeast Army!

He raised his arms and shouted, and his brothers also stood up with the commotion and said that together with him, they would join the Southeast Mansion and work for Yan Dashao.

The atmosphere was warm, many people were moved, Storm smiled, it was in vain that he spent a lot of effort, this "Van Persie" is a "trust"!

……

He went back to hand over the order to Yan Dashao, and said triumphantly: "Report to the sir, I have recruited 1,500 foreign soldiers!" ”

"Great, immediately start training and educating them, form combat strength as soon as possible!" Yan Changwu was very happy.

Based on these thousand foreign people, Storm formed a foreign gun regiment, with Van Rothmaren as the commander and belonging to Zhou Quanbin's First Brigade of the Army, to conquer Southeast Asia for the southeast province and kill those disobedient brown-skinned boys.
