Chapter 52: The Establishment of the Kingdom of Lanfang

On January 5, after Zhang Wei and others returned to Batavia, they lived in the governor's palace of Van Gogh Hamlets, and since then it has been used as Zhang Wei's palace for the time being. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The General Staff of the Java Provincial Military District and the Batavia City Government moved to other houses ahead of schedule, but fortunately, there were many Dutch houses confiscated, and so many departments were enough to be allocated.

Zhang Wei said: "General Staff Lu and Premier Zheng, why don't you set up the General Staff Headquarters and the Government Council in this Governor's Palace, and I can discuss with you about anything." “

Zheng Daoping said: "Young master, this is not good, we have established a kingdom, then we must have the appearance of a kingdom, how can we work in the palace?" There are so many Dutch houses confiscated outside, all of which are good, enough for our office. “

"I'm so young, is it appropriate to be a king? Why don't you two be in charge of the administration and the military now, and I won't show up for the time being? “

"It's not good, young master, no matter how young you are, you are also a king, and besides, no one will worry about your young age."

Since Lu Weimin and Zheng Daoping don't want to live here, then they should run more when they have something.

Lu Weimin and Li Zhaoshui of the General Staff still chose to work together, and as for the Admiralty and the War Department, they have not yet been formed, and they are completely managed by the General Staff Department.

The Government Council also works in a separate courtyard, and the other ministries of intelligence, commerce and finance, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are all their own independent courtyards, and they are all in Batavia City anyway, which is not far away, and it is very convenient to do whatever you want.

At night, Zhang Wei lived alone in such a large courtyard, and he was really lonely.

This mansion, about 10,000 square meters, is completely decorated in the Dutch style, with two courtyards in front and back, and the middle of the first courtyard is the meeting and the governor's study; The west area is the accommodation and office space for security guards, assistants and others; The area on the east side is the warehouse, kitchen, and housing for servants, cooks, etc. The second courtyard is the original governor's bedroom and garden, which is decorated with rockeries, ponds, sculptures, etc. Watchtowers were built at the four corners of the house, and soldiers were on duty to ensure the safety of the house.

Lying on the bed and idle, Zhang Wei had no choice but to study the system and talk to Xiao Yuer to kill time.

When Zhang Wei opened the system and saw that the points had not only not decreased in the past ten days, but also increased slightly, he asked Xiao Yu'er: "Xiao Yu'er, I haven't stopped synthesizing soldiers recently, why are there so many points?" ”

"Young master, recently your troops have been fighting continuously, killing more enemies, and gaining more points, in addition, you didn't pay attention to the system points in December, so you feel more, in addition, you sank the Dutch fleet and a large part of the merchant ships and captured some of the merchant ships last time, and you gained a lot of points"

As soon as Zhang Wei heard the music, there are also points for sinking or capturing ships? Hurriedly asked Xiao Yu'er: "How do you calculate the points for this?" ”

"Young master, as long as you sink a warship, no matter what age or model, it will be 2 points and 1 ton, and sinking a merchant ship, no matter what era it is, it will be 1 point and 1 ton, and if you are captured, the points will be doubled."

"Why is it so cheap, the warships I bought are a few tenths of a ton."

"Young master, the warships you bought are all technologically advanced, which is unfair in itself, it would be good to give you points, if you give you more, then you won't go out and bully people every day."

At 8 o'clock on January 6, everyone came to the palace and waited for Zhang Wei in the living room.

Zhang Wei hurried to the living room after breakfast, unwilling to make everyone wait for a long time.

Zheng Daoping asked: "Young master, are we going to announce the founding of the country today?" ”

"Announcing it, it's just a formality, and there's no need to hold a ceremony now, just announce it to the public. In addition, the Government Council will improve the national flag, design the national emblem, write the national anthem, etc., and the military flag of the army should also be designed, as for the Army Day, it will be set on August 1 every year, and the National Day will be set on December 10 every year, the first soldier we have will be on August 1, and when we occupy Pontianak, it will be December 10. ”

Zheng Daoping said: "Young master, if we don't set the National Day on December 1, we can set some festivals on the first day of each month in the future." ”

"Well, as for the army, the General Staff is still the leading organ of all troops, with Lu Weimin as the chief of the General Staff and the Minister of the Army; Li Zhaoshui is Deputy Chief of General Staff and Minister of the Navy; The Prime Minister of the Government Council is Zheng Daoping; The Ministry of Intelligence will not announce it to the public, Foreign Minister Wu Wenbin, Minister of Commerce and Finance Lu Sifu, I will be the Minister of Civil Affairs, the Minister of Development and Reform and the Minister of Education in a while, and the rest will not be set up for the time being, Premier Zheng will be more busy, now we will occupy the territory first and clean up the Netherlands, otherwise other countries will not recognize us. “

Zhang Wei communicated with Xiao Yuer: "Xiao Yuer, combined with 3 elite-level government officials, namely the Minister of Civil Affairs, the Minister of Education and the Minister of Development and Reform. “

"Young master, there is no position of Minister of Development and Reform in the system."

"Then make one elite minister of industry, and three more special assistants for each minister."

Xiao Yu'er replied: "Yes, young master"

"Yes," the crowd replied.

Zhang Wei continued: "In addition, I thought about it last night, we still have to speed up the occupation of Sumatra, and if we are on the map, we must at least occupy the province of West Sumatra and the province of Champer, as for the northwest place, let the Dutch occupy it first." There is coal and oil, and I always feel uncomfortable if I don't occupy it, and there are Bangka and Belitung islands, but I have been thinking about it for a long time. “

"Yes, but it will take at least 3 divisions and a chief of staff of the provincial military district to occupy these places." Lu Weimin said.

"I'm ready for the troops, it's up to you to plan."

"Okay, I'll send you some plans that night."

Zheng Daoping asked: "Young master, do you want to rebuild the palace?" “

"It's too late to think about these things now, let's wait until it's stable, but you can plan it first, and see where Batavia is suitable for building a palace, in addition, the Government Council, the General Staff and the major ministries and commissions will also build offices, and living in a house is not a long way after all."

"Yes"

"In addition, the navy still escorted all the Dutch to Batavia, and when it comes to negotiating with the Dutch, this is a bargaining chip, and after the escort comes, let them build roads and build military camps first, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also collected some information, mainly about the Hongxi tragedy and the crimes committed by the Dutch against the Chinese over the years."

"It's a must, you have to settle accounts with them."

"Also, I think the name Batavia is too awkward, so let's think about what it should be? Take advantage of this time to establish a kingdom, even change the name, at least it should be called smooth. Speaking of names, the Navy also has to name each ship, and now I feel twisted when I call the names of these warships, and they all have a domineering name. “

"Okay, our navy will handle this matter, it's really unpleasant to call it like this recently."

"By the way, the Ministry of Intelligence still wants to publicize around the world that the Dutch governor colluded with the natives to rob the mines and manors of the Chinese, and then pretended to be bandits to massacre the natives, so that the people of the world know that we are righteous and forced to resist, and to gain the sympathy and support of the people of the world, that is, not to sympathize with and support us, we must at least take advantage. Of course, the final decision is still up to machine guns and artillery. “

"Yes, we've been doing this in the Intelligence Department."

Zhang Wei continued: "Then so be it, the Government Council will notify the major newspapers, and another clear code telegram will be sent to inform the world. ”

At this time, Xiao Yuer informed Zhang Wei that the required personnel had been synthesized, Zhang Wei put the 12 people in the living room, and then said: "Introduce yourself, everyone here today is your own people." ”

"I'm Yang Dawei, good at industry; These three are my colleagues. ”

"My name is Zhang Yang, I am good at education, these three are my colleagues, I have seen the young master, I have seen you."

"I'm Duan Chunfeng, I'm good at civil affairs, these 3 are my colleagues, I've seen the young master, I've seen you, please take care of me."

Zhang Wei said: "Yang Dawei is the Minister of Industry, Zhang Yang is the Minister of Education, and Duan Chunfeng is the Minister of Civil Affairs. ”

"No problem, there are still a lot of them in the house."

Zhang Wei said: "Is there anything else to do?" If it's okay, go ahead. “

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Zheng Daoping sent a declaration to the world by wireless telegraph announcing the founding of the Lanfang Kingdom, in which he first denounced the shamelessness of the Dutch governor, colluded with the indigenous tribes, robbed the Chinese minerals and estates, exterminated the Chinese, and then pretended to be bandits to kill people and destroy people, creating no man's land, the Dutch brutally persecuted the Chinese, the Chinese were forced to resist, restore the Lanfang Kingdom, and called on the Chinese all over the world to build the homeland of the Chinese, jointly resist the greedy and brutal Dutch, and expel them from the East Indies. In the declaration, it was also determined that the territory of the Lanfang Kingdom was the entire East Indies, with its capital at Shangjing, which was originally called Batavia.

At this point, the Kingdom of Lanfang was officially established.
