After Rong Lu briefly stopped in Taiwan and sent the song back to Beijing by telegram, he really waited for good news, and Cixi was very satisfied with Rong Lu's plan to turn to Indonesia. What the imperial court wants to do is to take advantage of the chaos of the situation and come out to take advantage, and naturally take advantage of it. Indonesia is now in turmoil, the Chinese have a lot of influence in the local area, and the Dutch authorities have completely lost control of the archipelago, which is a good opportunity for the Qing Dynasty to expand its territory.

Rong Lu got the will of the Empress Dowager Cixi, immediately put down all his estimates, and the army drove towards Indonesia at full speed. However, when he really arrived at the place, Rong Lu did not dare to land directly in Indonesia, but first stepped on the brakes in Singapore, and went to meet Zhiyuan, Minister of Manchuria, and Li Zhi, Commander-in-Chief of the Nanyang Dispatch Army. Zhiyuan and Li Zhi had a headache for the sudden arrival of Rong Lu, this guy was too disobedient, let him go and meet Feng Zicai, why did he suddenly run to Singapore.

After Rong Lu explained his intentions, Zhiyuan and Li Zhi were a little crying and laughing, the hearts of these people in the court are really big! I haven't been able to completely get rid of the title of the sick man of East Asia, and I actually want to expand my territory, and I really obey them. However, Zhiyuan felt that Rong Lu's plan was feasible, and the Dutch obviously couldn't cover it, so it was better to take Indonesia by chance. If Indonesia is in its hands, the Manchurian Empire's South Sea defense island chain will be completely perfect. Li Zhi had similar thoughts before, but Changchun believed that the current enemy was Britain and France, and there was no need to waste troops in Indonesia, but if the Qing army was willing to be a new force, it would really be a good option. After a telegram exchange between Zhiyuan and Changchun, he immediately expressed support for Rong Lu's feat of opening up the territory, but the Manchurian Empire had additional conditions. The two main bodies of Sumatra and Java are not wanted by the Manchurian Empire, and the imperial court likes to deal with them, but including Sulawesi, all the small islands in Indonesia are all owned by Manchuria, and the Manchurian Army wants to garrison troops in the Strait. Rong Lu was still a little uncertain about dealing with the Dutch, and it was really difficult for the Qing army, which had weak maritime power, to control those small islands, so he simply agreed to Zhiyuan's request on behalf of the imperial court.

After bidding farewell to Zhiyuan and Li Zhi, Rong Lu did not go to Indonesia to land, but drove to Pontianak in the Republic of Lanfang to visit Liu Enguan, the president of the Republic of Lanfang, and Liu Enguan expressed a warm welcome to Rong Lu's arrival. Liu Enguan's father, Liu Asan, the great hero of the Lanfang Republic, just died of illness a year ago, and he has only been in office for less than a year. Although Lan Fang is the first relative vassal of Manchuria, and now it is also the number one power in East Asia, it is inevitable that everyone still has an obsession with the recognition of the Celestial Empire. No matter how strong Manchuria is, it is just a court outside the gates, and the Lanfang Republic still hopes to be recognized by the Central Plains Dynasty, so the arrival of Ronglu is really a great joy for Liu Enguan and the Lanfang Republic.

"The president's etiquette is too much, Rong Lu doesn't dare to be, he doesn't dare to be!" Rong Lu faced Liu Enguan, who came out to greet him in person, and he really didn't know how to phrase it.

Liu Enguan not only personally greeted Rong Lu at the port, but also made a welcoming procession of tens of thousands of people, gongs and drums were noisy and firecrackers rang out in unison, and dragon dances, lion dances, and colorful archways were even more than a few miles away. Although Rong Lu has also seen some big scenes, he is still a little helpless in the face of this scene, Liu Enguan is too enthusiastic, and he can't accept it. Liu Enguan also prepared a team of hundreds of people to rely on, which made Rong Lu worry about trespassing. And Liu Enguan's etiquette of bowing to the ground when he met also made Rong Lu a little difficult to answer correctly, Liu Enguan was also the king of a town, and this etiquette was really too much for Rong Lu. Rong Lu didn't know, if it weren't for the fact that Song Jingyuan, the minister of Manchuria, was also there, Liu Enguan would have been able to knock a few to him.

"Overseas lonely minister Liu Enguan, respectfully invite His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty to be Sheng'an!" After all, Liu Enguan couldn't hold back his awe of the Central Plains Dynasty, everyone entered the presidential palace, and Song Jingyuan also went back to the legation, he immediately invited Rong Lu to sit on the throne, and then led a large number of Lanfang officials to bow three times and bow nine times to Rong Lu.

"St. Ann!" Rong Lu didn't dare to sit and accept the salute, so he immediately got up and bowed his hand in the direction of Beijing, and gave a standard answer according to the etiquette.

The two sides had a friendly and cordial conversation, and Liu Enguan even strongly invited the Qing Dynasty to send an envoy to Lanfang. The fundamental reason why Liu Enguan gave face to the Qing court was that he wanted to surpass his father. Liu Asheng is the great hero of the Lanfang Republic, he saved the precarious Lanfang Republic, and raised the people's livelihood to an unprecedented height. It is impossible for Liu Enguan to surpass his father in this regard, but if he can correct some of his father's mistakes, he may be able to compete with his father. Liu Asheng is actually an ordinary person, but there is nothing wrong with the major policies at all, because the major policies are all set by Changchun, and he is just an executor. Everyone in the Republic of Lanfang knows that Lanfang is a vassal of Manchuria, and everything has to listen to Changchun, if Changchun has a cold, Pontianak will inevitably cough. What Liu Enguan wanted to do was to get rid of the control of Manchuria and make Lanfang an independent country.

Liu Enguan's qualifications are not high, but he is not a stupid hat, he will not do such a stupid thing against Changchun's intentions, he does not have the courage to fight against Guoxinga. Liu Enguan's method of independence was to force the Manchurian Empire to let go voluntarily by enhancing Lanfang's international status and then balancing the great powers. To enhance his international status, Liu Enguan has done a very good job, and vigorously supporting the Indonesian Chinese is a good move for him. But in terms of the balance of Manchuria by the great powers, he is a little difficult. The Western powers certainly cannot be counted on, and if they intervene, Goxinga will definitely directly use troops to solve all problems by force. Only the Qing Dynasty is Lan Fang's hope, the relationship between Guo Xing'a and the imperial court is very strange, and there are many scruples about the imperial court, if the imperial court is willing to help Lan Fang, Changchun will be difficult to deal with, which is why Liu Enguan has an unusual enthusiasm for Rong Lu.

After talking about beauty, Liu Enguan held a grand reception dinner for Rong Lu, and Song Jingyuan, the minister of Manchuria, was absent because he couldn't get used to Liu Enguan's disgusting appearance. Song Jingyuan didn't come, but Liu Enguan was even more happy, he was already unhappy with Song Jingyuan, the emperor, without this ancestral surveillance, he could better contact Rong Lu.

"In view of the situation in Indonesia, the Queen Mother and the Emperor have made a decree, our ministry is about to land in Indonesia to protect the diaspora, I wonder if His Excellency the President can intend to raise troops together?" After being full of wine and food, Rong Lu and Liu Enguan went to the presidential palace for a while, and then Rong Lu put forward his idea to fight the Dutch, Rong Lu always thought that the more help, the better.

"Alas! The will of the Celestial Empire should be obeyed by the small state, but unfortunately there is no power! Since my father sent troops to exterminate the three northern states, Guangtu Gong (Zhiyuanzi Guangtu), the minister of Nanyang in Manchuria, confiscated the military power of Lanfang, and without the general order of General Huang Zhongmin, the commander of the Nanyang garrison, I, the president of Lanfang, could not command all the departments of the Lanfang army! Liu Enguan stated the truth, but also indirectly revealed his dissatisfaction with Manchuria.

"It's not in the way, it's not in the way, it's good to have some food, coal and other supplies!" Rong Lu didn't seem to care, but he thoroughly saw through Liu Enguan's careful thoughts, but he couldn't make any moves at this time, so he could only keep it in his heart silently.

"Of course, Lan Fang will definitely supply all the needs of the heavenly soldiers, and I have ordered all the transport ships to be concentrated, food, ammunition, medicine and other materials to ensure sufficient supply!" Liu Enguan still has rights in these aspects.

"It's okay, our department is correcting in your territory for a day, and the day after tomorrow we will anchor and go to sea and land in Indonesia!" With Liu Enguan's promise, Rong Lu knew that his rear was completely stable.

"General Rong doesn't have to be in a hurry, you might as well stay in my Lanfang for a while longer, maybe there will be great good news!" Liu Enguan definitely gave a big gift to Rong Lu, which was also the first big move made by the Lanfang Republic to hide from the suzerainty of Manchuria.

"Oh? What is the arrangement of Your Excellency the President? Rong Lu was suddenly interested.

"Hehe, there are natives in Indonesia, and there are natives in my Lanfang, and they all look similar. Our Lanfang police force has secretly cultivated a group of natives and dead, and they have infiltrated Jakarta a few days ago, and there will be good news in the near future. "* You can't control the army, but you can mobilize Lan Fang's police.

"That Rong is waiting for the good news of the president! Hahaha...... "Rong Lu was overjoyed.

For the Qing army also suddenly drove to Nanyang, the Indonesian governor Anthony had one head and two large, and could only concentrate his forces to stubbornly deal with it. Then something even more outrageous happened, when the natives suddenly began to riot on a large scale, and frequently assassinated Dutch officials, so that the places still controlled by the Dutch were also jumping. Anthony was elected as an official and tried his best to suppress the natives, but he himself was assassinated on a trip and shot to death by five natives. The leaderless Dutch could no longer hold on, and in the face of the aggressive natives, the Dutch soldiers could only suppress them by massacre. Suddenly, however, the natives reorganized, and many natives joined them. The weapons of these guys were very rudimentary, but they were outnumbered, and a large-scale battle broke out with the Dutch defenders in Jakarta. After a great battle, more than 300,000 natives were killed and wounded, and only more than 8,000 of the 40,000 Dutch troops remained.

Pontianak's Rong Lu and Liu Enguan were overjoyed when they heard the news, but before they could make any moves, the Chinese in Indonesia took the lead. Gang leaders Lu Siyong, Wang Jiaqi and others convened Chinese representatives from all over the world in Bandung and convened a Chinese conference in the East Indies, which publicly elected Lu Siyong as the leader and decided to establish a Chinese state. After the meeting, the Chinese quickly completed the formation of the army and government, and then made their way to Jakarta. The Dutch defenders had already fought with the natives and were unable to resist at all, so they could only lay down their arms and surrender to the Chinese army after the Chinese promised to ensure the safety of the lives and property of the Dutch.

By the time Rong Lu arrived, Lu Siyong had already ascended the throne as king in Bandung, officially establishing the country, and the country was called the South Han Kingdom of China. In addition, Lu Siyong also sent Wang Jiaqi as a representative to Pontianak to talk with Song Jingyuan, the Manchurian minister in Lanfang, and agreed to cede the narrow strip of northern Sumatra that controlled the Strait of Malacca and all the peripheral islands to Manchukuo, and the Southern Han Dynasty officially became a vassal protectorate of Manchukuo.
