Bidding farewell to the cold winter in Europe, when it got closer and closer to the Lanfang Special Zone of the Celestial Empire, the mighty Red Navy formation felt the heat of summer again.

February 17, 1857 is the thirtieth day of the lunar calendar, and for the nearly one million people in the Lanfang Special Zone, it is the first truly carefree year they have ever spent. Having finally found their roots, they no longer had the loneliness and helpless panic that were always suppressed in their hearts, and they no longer had to worry about any greedy and jealous eyes from those around them, and people enjoyed the fruits of their industrious hands to the fullest.

In order to commemorate the great pioneer of the Lanfang Special Zone, in Dongwanjin City, the capital of the former special zone, which has been officially renamed Luofang City, starting from the ceremonies such as sacrificing stoves and worshipping ancestors, to hanging peach charms and upside down "Fu", to the red and joyful Spring Festival couplets, window flowers, lanterns hanging in every household, and then to the deafening sound of firecrackers, the two cross-cutting avenues of democracy and freedom in the center of the city were filled with tables of different styles and sizes, opening a truly happy Chinese New Year's Eve feast. In this most grand and peculiar way of joy, the people of the special zone warmly received the relatives of the Celestial Empire who had just returned from afar.

In this surging tide of festivities, Lin Haifeng, Li Xiucheng and his entourage, together with nearly 1,000 officers and men of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire who remained in the capital and nearly 1,000 technicians who participated in the construction of the special zone, were all "disintegrated" in an instant.

As the first chief executive of the Special Administrative Region, Ding Lisan, did not expect the people of Luo Fang to act like this in advance. A few days ago, they had agreed on the government of the Special Administrative Region. Preparations began to be made for a Chinese New Year's Eve feast held in the city hall to welcome the wandering waves -- the Tang Company finally returned home for the first New Year, and at the same time warmly entertained the relatives of the Celestial Empire who worked tirelessly for the safety and construction of the special zone, and were not afraid of any danger. But just as they were ready, Commissioner Lin and his entourage, who had returned from Europe, arrived in Pontianak yesterday, and when the news of Commissioner Lin and his entourage coming to celebrate the New Year with everyone came out in Luo Fang today, all their plans were shattered.

Lin Haifeng also had his own arrangements, and when he set off from Pontianak, he left Huang Zaixing and other generals who accompanied him in Pontianak to celebrate with the local soldiers and civilians. And he himself was preparing to go to the gold mine in the suburbs with Ding Lisan and others after arriving in Luo Fang. Spend the festive season with the miners. Ding Li's three-place arrangements and repeated retention made Lin Haifeng only a guest and postponing his trip to the mine by one day. Now, nothing counts.

When the banquet held in the banquet hall of the city government was approaching, Ding Lisan, who was accompanying Lin Haifeng, Li Xiucheng, Huang Zaixing, and other principal officials of the special district government, suddenly received a report from the personnel on duty at the Luofang City Government, who were in charge of organizing the banquet. All the people from all walks of life in Luo Fang who were invited to the banquet not only did not come until now, but they also reverted to the news that all the citizens would have such a huge move in the evening. Ding Lisan was dumbfounded. Of course, he understands why people are acting like this, but he can't help but think about the safety of Commissioner Lin, besides, even if he can ensure the safety of Commissioner Lin and them, and the 50,000 or 60,000 people here pour out of the city, once there is another bustle in the suburbs, will there be any bigger accidents?

But the will of the people cannot be violated, Ding Lisan and others can't convince the people of the city waiting outside, and Lin Haifeng is even more unwilling to live up to the deep friendship of the people of Luo Fang. Thereupon. The safety of the 100,000 people in such a big scene has become a common burden in their hearts. Lin Haifeng instructed Yu Zhongfu that the Red Army officers and men of the battalion stationed in Luofang City immediately went out into the streets. It is necessary to undertake the maintenance of order in the city to the letter, and ensure the safety of the citizens. It's a pity that Lin Haifeng is also a hundred secrets, and as soon as a battalion of neatly dressed Red Army soldiers hit the streets, they immediately became the target of competition among the citizens of Luofang.

"Nervous, when I saw this lively and unusual scene, it was two words. Nervous," Ding Lisan said later, "I and Commissioner Lin and I were simply dragged to the big table in the middle of the intersection, and I originally thought that the other two people who followed closely behind me could help me protect Commissioner Lin together, but as soon as I twisted my face, they were overwhelmed by the sea of people." Oops, what a ...... back then As far as the eye can see, there are crowds of people who are all black and oppressive, no matter how you look at it, it is all chaos...... Seriously. At that time, I was nervous, my legs and stomach were shaking. A heart jumps in the throat and eyes......"

However, whether it was Ding Lisan at that time. Lin Haifeng, who was also involuntarily, soon put down a tightly held heart of the earth.

It was a chaotic scene, the crossroads were brightly lit, and the sounds of laughter, greetings, and mutual complaints were mixed with the crisp sound of firecrackers, and there was a sea of people and waves everywhere. But what is unimaginable is that as the last relative was "forced" to sit on the seat, as if there was a huge wave of a hand in the dark, except for the occasional noise of children, the tens of thousands of people suddenly became silent.

"That moment. I'm stupid! "Just like Ding Lisan said later. He was really stupid for a while. There was a sudden silence in the boiling waves. Only the eyes of the surrounding pairs flashed with great excitement and excitement. All of a sudden, they were gathered together.

That moment. It's not just Ding Lisan who is stupid. Lin Haifeng is the same.

"I've never seen him look like that. Like what? Giggle...... It's like an out-and-out stupid Q ...... "Liu Xianghe met Su Sanniang in Shanghai. When it comes to the unforgettable grandeur of the scene that took place in the Lan Fong Special District. I can't help but describe it like this.

Ground is true. Lin Haifeng is like that. Until Ding Lisan had already reacted. After pulling several times in a row, he froze behind his chest and hands as soon as he lifted it. He seemed to be fully awake. His lips squirmed for a long time. The Chinese New Year's Eve message had already been prepared. I forgot all about it as soon as I got a q.

"I ...... I...... I represent the Celestial Empire government...... Thank you for ......."

"Long live the Celestial Empire!" The white-haired old man opposite Lin Haifeng shouted softly. Subsequently. Someone at the second table repeated the old man's shout. Follow. It's like a relay. "Long live the Celestial Empire," the low and powerful shout spread out in all directions. Until finally there was a terrifying cry and a ghostly cry. The ground trembled, and the air trembled. On both sides of the alley, big red lanterns are dancing non-stop.

Lin Haifeng's eyes were moist, and he was in tears, although he kept blinking to hide it, but Ding Lisan saw it, Liu Xianghe also saw it, and there were ...... people who saw him crying

From the beginning of the first year, Luo Fangcheng is full of joy, people spontaneously organized the dragon lantern, lion dance Q team, under the guidance of gongs, drums and firecrackers to walk the streets and alleys, until the city is full of lanterns, tourists are full of streets, the grand occasion is unprecedented on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, Luo Fangcheng is boiling every day. From Shanghou in the east, to Pontianak in the west, to Sanfa in the north and to Sukadana in the south and the island of Maya across the sea, a quarter of Borneo is boiling everywhere.

During these 15 days, Lin Haifeng took advantage of the opportunity of condolences to the military and civilians in various localities to inspect several counties in the eastern part of the Lanfang Special Zone, from Gaoping, Daiyan, and Shanghou to Xijiaxu. Li Xiucheng, Huang Zaixing and others separately inspected all the important towns in the north and south of the Lanfang Special Zone.

For Ding Li's third-class Lanfang officials, time passed too quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Commissioner Lin and his entourage were on their return date. During this period of time, Ding Lisan, who had been accompanying Commissioner Lin, always wanted to get more guidance from Commissioner Lin on how the special zone should develop in the future, but who knew that Committee member Lin always saw more and said less along the way. Now that they are about to be separated again, but just after returning to Luo Fang, Ding Lisan, who was also tired, couldn't help but pull Yu Zhongfu together and came to the pavilion where Commissioner Lin was staying.

Lin Haifeng in the pavilion was meeting with Li Xiucheng and Huang Zaixing, who also returned to Luo Fang on the same day. As soon as they saw Ding Lisan and Yu Zhongfu coming in, Lin Haifeng couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

"In fact, there is no need to say much about economic construction, and now you have implemented a development method based on gold mining, pepper, rubber, coconut and rice agriculture and forestry at the same time. Under the condition that the entire living environment is not affected, the planting of rubber plantations and the production of palm oil can also be appropriately increased. Since you are willing to listen to me, then I will nag a few words. First of all, we must continue to maintain good relations with the indigenous people in and outside the Special Zone, and we must not ignore the existence of others just because we are numerous, but respect their beliefs and ways of life, and give them as much positive help as possible. Only in this way can we coexist peacefully and have greater room for your development. ”

Lin Haifeng said, beckoning to Ding Lisan and Yu Zhongfu, and asked the two of them to see a simple map of Borneo unfolded in front of them, "Now our special area is in the middle of a gap between survival, there is the British North Borneo Company in the north, as well as some American forces, in the west there are also bases such as Penang and Singapore under British influence, and in the south there is the Dutch East India Company. Since it is far from the interior of the Celestial Empire, if our special area wants to survive forever, it must also expand outward and expand our living space. At present, there are two directions of expansion, one is to the east, and now there is no intervention of the great powers in East Borneo, so we must take the lead. The other is to the north, to grab from the British and Americans. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Haifeng picked up the pipe on the table in front of him, and looked at Li Xiucheng while filling the cigarette.
