Looking at the cruisers and frigates raising the white flag, as well as the British soldiers standing in a neat line on the dock in Aden, Wei Jun looked proud.

For more than two months, he led the Indian Ocean Fleet to defend the five field divisions of the Chinese Empire, starting from Calcutta, all the way south along the coastline of the Indian subcontinent, and successively recovering various ports and coastal towns captured by the British expeditionary force. Because of the crushing defeat of the British expeditionary fleet, the British troops stationed in these ports either fled ahead of time or surrendered, and there was no resistance at all.

There were a few important towns where some British generals tried to resist, but before the Chinese Empire's army arrived, they were surrounded and annihilated by the troops led by the princes of the local princes. The soldiers of the princely states who were extremely poor in combat strength did not know why they burst out with unimaginable combat power at this time, although they won with a tenfold advantage in troops, but it was still surprising.

As for these princely forces of the princely states on the wall, Wei Jun did not care at all, he just asked to follow the earliest practice of the British. Defensive forts were set up in coastal ports, including a small plot of land nearby, all of which were assigned to the Chinese Empire. and the rest of the land, all ignored, and left to the princes and princes. Depending on the number of people in their territories, these princely forces paid a certain amount of poll tax to the nearby fortresses of the Chinese Empire.

It is equivalent to the Chinese Empire occupying and controlling all the ports along the coast of India, and all the goods produced on the Indian continent can only be transported through the ports, which must be paid to the Chinese Empire, and most of the goods in and out of the country are naturally controlled by the trading companies or merchants of the Chinese Empire, so as to seize the wealth of the Indian mainland.

Of course, this was the policy of the Chinese Empire towards India that had long been set, and Wei Jun naturally understood it, so he did the same, and when he captured a place, he directly sent a proclamation to the princes of the surrounding princely states, announcing the policy of the empire, and summoning them to contribute to build fortresses and guard ports.

And these princes of the princely states were naturally ecstatic. They were originally thinking about how to deal with the new master, but they didn't expect the Chinese Empire to be so generous that they didn't want their territory, so they hurriedly agreed to any other conditions, and they were very grateful. In this way, Wei Jun naturally moved the policy forward, and took the opportunity to expand the scope of the port a little, staking the land, and dividing the port, river estuary, etc. into the territory of the Chinese Empire, and leaving a small number of soldiers to guard and deter.

Wei Jun, in particular, assigned some port cities within a radius of fifty li to the territory of the Chinese Empire, let all the princely forces of the princely states withdraw, take over all the finances and assets of the British army, and organize the construction of several fortresses, preparing to occupy these important ports permanently.

Chittagong, Dhaka, Kolkata, Yanam, Madras, Puducherry, Garigarh, Colombo, Cochin, Mahe, Paraji, Mumbai, Dammam, Surat, etc., Wei Jun spent nearly a month and a half occupying them all and directly counted them as the territory of the Chinese Empire.

After that, Wei Jun led the main force of the Indian Ocean Fleet, escorted the special division of the Fifth Field Corps loaded with troop carriers, and marched west from Mumbai to the Muscat Sultanate on the Arabian Peninsula, and easily captured the city of Muscat, which was protected by the British army.

The Sultan of Muscat sent people to negotiate, and Wei Jun directly sent an Irish staff officer to negotiate, claiming that the other party accommodating the enemy British who took in the Chinese Empire was the enemy of the Chinese Empire. There is no solution but surrender. The Sultan of Muscat was unwilling to give in, and sent thousands of troops to besiege Muscat from all over the country, wanting to give the colonists from the east a little color, but unexpectedly, under the First World War, thousands of troops were surrounded and annihilated by the special division of the Fifth Field Corps of the Chinese Empire, which was also thousands, and almost the whole army was annihilated, and only more than 1,000 cavalry escaped in disarray.

The Sultan of Muscat was taken aback and fled far away, sending only a few ministers to ask for mercy.

And Wei Jun didn't pay attention to so much at all, leaving more than 1,000 infantry to defend Muscat City, so he directly led the main force of the Indian Ocean Fleet and the Special Division to the port of Aden.

Unexpectedly, the British in the port of Aden were even more unbearable than the people of the Muscat Sultanate, and they didn't do the slightest resistance, not even a look, and surrendered directly with a white flag.

Seeing Bao Ling, who was escorted over and shouting that he wanted to see the commander of the Chinese Imperial Fleet, Wei Jun was a little strange, he did not expect to meet a foreigner who spoke Chinese in this far away place thousands of miles away from China.

"Respected General of the Chinese Empire, I am the envoy sent by the British Empire to your country, and those two warships are the ships that escort me to your country, and I ask the general to give me permission and escort me to your country!" Bao Ling looked polite, but the request was a little unreasonable.

When Wei Jun heard this, he laughed: "What a joke!" You are now a captive of Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu does not care whether you are dead or alive. Still thinking that we will return the captured warships and escort you to our country? It's beautiful to think about!

Someone's coming, drag him down for me! ”

When Bao Ling heard this, he was anxious and shouted: "General, stop your anger!" The general is angry! I am an old friend who I have known since the time when your country was still in the Taiping Holy Army, and I know your current Emperor, Your Majesty, the Holy King at that time! He knows me too, and considers me a friend! ”

Wei Jun was taken aback when he heard this, but his face remained unchanged at all: "You foreign devil, you don't know if it's true or not!" You say that His Majesty the Emperor knows you, do you have any evidence? ”

Bao Ling was speechless, and could only beg for an explanation: "General, the emperor of your country really knows me!" At the beginning, Bai Gui, a Manchu official in the city of Guangzhou, forcibly took me to Hong Kong Island and forced me to help him escape, but he was later arrested by the Taiping Holy Army at that time and executed in public. And I, later your emperor sent Lord Wu to negotiate friendship with me, and I agreed to trade with you, and reaped the friendship between your emperor and Lord Wu! For the sake of my contribution to your country in the past, and for the sake of knowing your emperor and Lord Wu, give me a chance to negotiate peace with your country! ”

Wei Jun laughed: "Peace talks, it's okay." In fact, my Majesty does not want to fight with you Britain to the death, and even become friendly trading partners! But it's a pity that you foreigners always love to invade others, not only do you not want to live in peace with our Chinese Empire, but you also attack our Chinese Empire again and again and invade our territory! Now that you have fled in defeat, it is a little too late for you to remember to negotiate peace with us!

Now, before we can negotiate peace, we have to get some compensation back! ”
