Hearing that Hu Zhen was invited, Li Haoran trotted all the way to the end, regardless of his age of nearly sixty, and when he saw Hu Zhen, he asked anxiously: "Xinghua, is there anything urgent?" ”

"Aha, Senior Li, thank you for your hard work, there is indeed an urgent matter to trouble you here, but it is a great good thing!"

"A great good thing? The old man would like to hear about it! ”

"That's right, now that northern Borneo has become a mess, I plan to take the opportunity to take the territory controlled by the English and tribes in northern Borneo into our pocket!"

"Ah, unify the whole of Borneo! The whole Borneo is the world of our Chinese people, and there is a South China Sea sandwiched between Great China, and even the South China Sea has become the inner lake of Great China, which is indeed a great thing, a great thing! But I don't know how to get there? I wonder how the old man can help? When Li Haoran heard this, he immediately felt very excited, and his voice was loud, he had been in the South Seas for many years, how could he not know the benefits of Huaxia controlling the entire Borneo continent of 760,000 square kilometers.

"I heard that the branches of the Bamboo Net Dragon Hall under your old man's command are all over Nanyang, and now I want to ask you to help with a few things!"

Li Haoran was overjoyed in his heart, feeling that he was going to make a meritorious contribution this time, if he made a meritorious service, not to mention a few things, even thousands of things, he would not hesitate to do it, so that his family would have a firm foothold in the Huaxia Guild in the future, and it would also gain a firm foothold in the super Huaxia described by Hu Zhen, so he hurriedly said: "Within the scope of his ability, the old man will definitely go all out!" ”

"I would like to ask Senior Li to use your connections with the Brooke Dynasty established by the English to buy land in Sabah and Sarawak from the Brooke Dynasty and the English colonies at the right time!" The British Empire is still the world's first power, although the combat effectiveness of the army is not in Hu Zhen's eyes, but its naval strength is far more than any country, if it is difficult to deal with the Huaxia Guild, it is not very easy to deal with now, so Hu Zhen can only temporarily take the way of purchase to seize the colony in the hands of the English.

Li Haoran was obviously very familiar with the situation in Borneo, and after a little thought, he said, "Ah. Sabah and Sarawak are partly under the jurisdiction of the Brooke dynasty, and partly under the direct jurisdiction of the Governorship of the Straits Settlements, but if they can be taken. It is of great benefit to the Nanyang Chinese people, the old man's relationship network, there are these clues, the old man personally carried out this important task, I believe it will not take long to have a result to reply! ”

Hu Zhen said appreciatively: "Okay." The old-timers will definitely be able to win it when they go out. One more thing is that we will soon be negotiating with the tribal alliance in northern Borneo, and we will invite the elders of the Council of Elders to participate in the negotiations, and they will bargain with the chiefs of the north on the spot! ”

"Negotiations? Why? Li Haoran is not very interested in negotiating with those natives, and he thinks that it is enough to directly use force to subdue the indigenous tribes.

"Since the other party has agreed to negotiate, it must have the sincerity to merge with us or to confess to Huaxia and return to his ancestors. Hu Zhen had to explain his thoughts before continuing to talk about the arrangement of this negotiation:

"This negotiation is that Haisi, the king of the northern tribal alliance of Borneo, personally came to negotiate with a group of elders, and I plan not to come forward. I wonder if I can invite Senior Li and the elders of the Huaxia Guild to negotiate? ”

"Oh! Then I will do my best to use negotiation to take the land of the Northern Alliance of Borneo and let them all be incorporated into our Huaxia Guild!" Li Haoran secretly said that the elders' meeting set up by Hu Zhen was not for show, but to do some practical things, and he followed the Huaxia Army with his family and Hu Zhen is the right person.

"Then it's going to trouble the old-timers!" Hu Zhen was very happy.

"Where, where, the family doesn't speak two words, that's what the old man should do!" Li Haoran said politely and asked, "Then what is the tone of our negotiations?" Can Xinghua tell Mr. Yu to go back and discuss with the other elders how to start the negotiation? ”

Hu Zhen already had a draft plan: "We must insist on two things in the negotiations: first. The Northern Borneo Tribal Alliance has since been merged into the Huaxia Guild, and its territory has since become part of us, and its tribal members are members of the Huaxia Guild and enjoy the same treatment as the Huaxia people. In the Huaxia Guild Elder's Church, we have given a certain number of elders to the Northern Tribal Alliance of Luozhou; Second, the official language of the tribal confederation in northern Borneo has since been in Huaxia and the written language is in Chinese, and children have been taught to use the Chinese language in the schools we have established. Other than that, the rest of the conditions are negotiable. ”

"Okay, the old man will go back and discuss with the elders immediately!"

"Okay, this is Lao Li's senior!"

Really. A few days later, Haisi, the king of the Northern Tribal Alliance of Borneo, personally brought eight elders to negotiate with the Huaxia Guild, and the Huaxia Guild sent nine elders led by Li Haoran to negotiate with the other party on a reciprocal basis.

The Northern Tribal Alliance was disappointed to see that Hu Zhen did not attend the negotiations, and Hisilicon raised an objection on the spot, saying it through the mouth of the interpreter, and everyone heard it clearly: "Why didn't you see your chief executive come out to negotiate?" That's disrespectful to us! Is this how you treat your guests? ”

Li Haoran has been struggling in Nanyang for many years, he has quick thinking and quick response, and immediately said: "Now the territory of our Huaxia Guild, in addition to controlling seventy-five percent of the land in Borneo, there are also tens of thousands of large and small islands such as Sulawesi, Maguru Islands, Nusa Tenggara Islands (Little Sunda Islands), West Papua Ilian, Riau Islands, Bangka Belitung Islands and other places, with a population of nearly 10 million. As the chief of the Huaxia Guild, Mr. Hu Zhen was naturally extremely busy with military and government affairs, so he authorized me and the other eight elders to come to negotiate. Of course, our chief respects you very much, otherwise you would not have been invited to negotiate, but would have met each other on the battlefield! ”

There is another layer of meaning in Li Haoran's words, I don't know how many times more territory controlled by my Huaxia Guild than your Northern Tribal Alliance, how can I use the chief to come out and negotiate with you in person, we are already condescending to negotiate with you.

Hisi and his eight elders were taken aback on the spot, and one of the eight elders immediately jumped up and said loudly, "Hmph, meet each other? Whoever is afraid of whom, then let's stop talking about it and go to the battlefield to meet! ”

"Okay, then let's go to the battlefield and see the real chapter! The hundreds of thousands of athletes of our Huaxia Army will get what we want! Li Haoran was not moved at all, he was still as slow as before, and after he finished speaking without even blinking his eyes, he was about to stand up and leave.

The other elders of the Huaxia Guild also stood up silently when they heard this, wanting to turn around and leave.

This negotiation is about to break down before it even begins!

The Northern Tribal Alliance was suddenly anxious, and Hai Si glanced at one of his cronies, who muttered.

The translator hurriedly translated: "Joke, this is just a joke, at most it is just a battle of will, why should you take it seriously?" Since we are here, of course, we are sincere in our intention to negotiate, and now that the negotiations have not yet begun, let's sit down and negotiate together! ”

The Northern Tribal Alliance has been tormented by the remnants of the Dagaan and the Dutch army, and now it wants to merge into the Huaxia Guild to seek refuge and obtain a stable and safe living environment for the clansmen. No matter what, there are always some people who are not convinced, but it is the majority who are willing to seek the powerful protection of the Huaxia Guild after all. The elders of the tribal alliance all turned their eyes to the tribal elder who had just shouted to the battlefield to see the true chapter, and he immediately lowered his head, not daring to say a word more.

Of course, Li Haoran would not let the negotiations break down before the negotiations began, and when he saw that the other party was showing weakness, he got off the donkey and continued to say slowly: "Okay, we Huaxia people are also sincere in negotiating, otherwise we would not have invited you to come here!" ”

The elders of the Huaxia Guild all followed Li Haoran back to their positions and started gong-to-gong and drum-to-drum negotiations with the personnel of the Northern Tribal Alliance across the negotiation table. (To be continued.) )
