On the afternoon of the 15th, Zhang Cheng said to Zhang Wei: "Young master, Ma Chen's Dutch have done a lot of bad things, let's kill a group of people and stabilize the people's hearts." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo“

Zhang Wei thought to himself, this Zhang Cheng must be addicted to murder, and hurriedly reassured: "Let's leave these alone for the time being, there are basically no Chinese in the local area, and the people who are hurt are all natives, who have nothing to do with us, don't care, if the local natives dare to blow up the thorns, they will cut him hard, and there is no reason to clean them up." Our goal is to occupy territory, and there is no need to provoke the Dutch, so just lock up these Dutchmen and don't starve them to death. “

"Yes, young master"

"I have discussed with Staff Officer Li, I will leave tomorrow, you have to take care of Ma Chen here, if the Dutch call, you can fight, if you can't, you will retreat inland, and join the 4th Division to ensure safety; If they dare to go inland, I will rush over as soon as I receive a telegram, and try to surround and annihilate the Dutch. “

"Yes, young master"

There is also a distance of more than 600 kilometers from Machen to Samarinda.

According to Li Zhaoshui's suggestion, Zhang Wei purchased another torpedo boat of the 1935 type and set off for Sammarinda at noon on December 17, 1905.

At about 3 o'clock in the morning of the 18th, they reached the sea off Samarinda and made contact with the intelligence officers stationed there by telegram.

The Dutch governor did not station soldiers in Samarinda, there was no defense force here, in order to exercise Han Xin's military command ability, Zhang Wei and Li Zhaoshui did not interfere with the command of the troops, Han Xin said to do whatever he wanted, Zhang Wei fully cooperated.

Han Shin was also a participant in the general staff's war plan to occupy Pontianak and Machen, so he still had a plan in mind to occupy such cities. Han Xin methodically arranged the troops to carry out different tasks, fortunately, there were intelligence officers to lead the way, so the execution was still very smooth, that is, to occupy several limited targets such as the official residence of the administrative officer, the tax bureau, and the police station, anyway, there was a force of 1 division, and there would be no accident anyway.

When he occupied this place, he didn't encounter any resistance at all, it was almost the same as when he occupied Pontianak, and Han Xin was also familiar with what happened next, so he didn't let Zhang Wei worry about it at all.

However, Zhang Wei felt regretful that the current Sanmarinda was really poor, and he confiscated all the Dutch mansions, but the booty collected was really small, not even half of what was captured in Machen, let alone compared with the Dutch in Pontianak. This also made Zhang Wei look forward to how much loot he would loot after occupying Batavia, Semarang and Surabaya? These three places are the richest in the entire East Indies.

There were not many Chinese here, and Zhang Wei did not think about avenging the Chinese, so he still imprisoned the Dutch first as a bargaining chip in the future; For the local natives, the obedient ones are kept temporarily, and the disobedient ones are directly turned into points, and their own troops are not those soft Chinese, how can they let the natives dare to blow up the thorns.

Since there is no barracks here, in order for the troops to have a good accommodation environment, they directly recruit the local natives to work, and those who are not honest will be beaten until they are honest, and they can't be soft, especially Zhang Wei, who hates the natives deep into the bones.

Han Xin asked, "Young Master, aren't we too harsh to do this?" ”

"You just have too little experience, if Zhang Cheng is here, he will definitely not ask this, it is not called strict, we are still too gentle now, I am really afraid that you will not be able to control it, and when we stabilize it, we will definitely not treat the natives so gently, you have to remember, if you don't obey the management of the natives, let him become a native, only the natives who become points are good natives, Zhang Cheng is very aware of this, which is why I released you to lead the troops on your behalf."

"Yes, young master, only natives who become points are good natives. But I'm afraid they'll riot. ”

"Is the gun in the soldier's hand a burning stick? Why are you still afraid of indigenous riots? If you dare to do that, then turn them all into points. ”

"Yes, young master"

As for the other things, Zhang Wei asked Han Xin to send a regiment to occupy Balikpapan, Zhang Wei remembered that it was rich in oil and coal, which were important resources in the industrial age.

The headquarters of the 5th Division and the remaining 3 regiments were stationed in Samarinda and the surrounding area, establishing defensive positions against the approaching Dutch officers and soldiers. However, Li Zhaoshui said: "Young master, the Dutch will not send troops here until they recover Pontianak and Machen, so you should be too careful." “

"I know they won't be here in the first place, but this is our last line of defense, protect more than 100,000 square kilometers of land here, at least ensure that the system will not be degraded, be prepared, besides, also find some work for these natives, they are idle, they don't need to use in vain, they don't use it in vain, who doesn't use it in vain."

"I want to make money even if it's such a small bargain, really." Li Zhaoshui muttered and left.

Zhang Wei synthesized the city government and relevant tax officials, etc., and first put up the shelves; Two 1935 torpedo boats, six S6 motorized torpedo boats and two U-21 submarines were purchased to protect the waters and assist in the occupation of Talagan.

The 6th Division was released from the system to occupy the cities in the interior and as far east as Taragan to assert its sovereignty.

After arranging all the tasks, Zhang Wei was sure that he would completely occupy Kalimantan Island, it was too easy, and in more than a month, he would dare to fight with the Dutch, even if Britain, France, Japan and the United States interfered without fear, as long as he could control more than 100,000 square kilometers of land, his own system would not be downgraded, without this pressure, he could let go of his hands and feet to fight with the Netherlands, as long as the Dutch dared to provoke a war, then he would completely knock the Dutch down.

During dinner in the evening, Han Xin asked, "Young Master, let's occupy Makassar and Palu as well, and station the navy there, which will be more beneficial to defend Sanmarinda." ”

"Now is not the time, when we are upgraded to the provincial level, and occupy the Dutch part of Kalimantan Island, and stabilize it for a month, we will definitely attack, but the most important thing is Batavia, as long as we occupy there, these small places can be occupied slowly, in a hurry. You don't have the idea of being opportunistic, you should imagine how to defend the entire Eastern Province. ”

"Yes, young master, a lot of merchant ships have been captured this time, and I think that when you attack Batavia, I can also occupy Makassar and Palu."

"When the time comes, you can contact the General Staff again, I can't say if you have a mission here at that time, but my opinion is that you can hold the Eastern Province is a merit."

"Yes, young master, I will definitely not disappoint you."
