When news of the signing of the Paris Agreement reached Borneo, the island was in an uproar.

It is estimated that even the "Lanfang Company" did not expect that it would be so smooth, and the colonial authorities were even more incredulous, and the local aborigines were even more at a loss.

Whether it's incredulous or bewildered, accept the fact that the Dutch colonial government is not universally recognized internationally from now on.

Consciousness immediately began to divide within the colonial government.

Some of the Chinese who had originally served as "Kapitan" and were on the side of the Dutch at the beginning of the war began to seek contact with the "Lanfang Company", and the "Lanfang Company" of course gladly accepted, but whether it would settle accounts after the autumn was a matter of two words, unless it could show sufficient sincerity.

More and more Dutch began to consider withdrawing to Europe, and now Borneo was no longer a happy land for adventurers, and when the Dutch lost their de jure superiority, the Dutch had no advantage in even if the "Lanfang Company" gave the Dutch a level playing field.

Hundreds of years of supremacy have weakened the competitiveness of the Dutch to the extreme, they have become accustomed to using simple and crude means to plunder the wealth of the Chinese, and the adventurous spirit and hard-working spirit of their ancestors have been lost.

The colonial army collapsed almost overnight, and anyone could see that the Dutch were at the end of their rope, and if they did not consider submitting to the "Lanfang Company", then they would have to consider moving to British Malaya, Australian Papua and other places.

For immigrants from Borneo, Malays and Australians are simply open to acceptance, at this time the population has not yet reached the stage of the big bang, the consciousness of population is wealth deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so Malays and Australians do not refuse to immigrate, the more the merrier.

And in this regard, "Lanfang Company" does not stop it, all ethnic groups in the world need fresh blood, only the Chinese do not need it, the population base of the Chinese is large enough, if you need to replenish fresh blood, you can immigrate from the Republic of China, how much you want.

Even in order to facilitate the relocation of the aborigines, the various units under the "Lanfang Company" have put their feet full of footsteps to give those local aborigines enough time to relocate.

At the same time, all kinds of rumors about how brutal the "Lanfang Company" was and how miserable the people under the "Lanfang Company" were spreading rapidly, almost to the point that everyone knew about it, so more indigenous people from Sumatra, Guinea and Kalimantan joined the migration army.

Especially in Sumatra, more than half of the indigenous people here moved to Malaysia and the Lion City in ten days, and among those who remained, except for those who were indifferent to current affairs, that is, those who were really unable to leave their homeland, they had resigned themselves to fate, and if the "Lanfang Company" was really as brutal as rumored, then even if they died, they would die in their homeland.

According to their experience of contact with the Chinese, the Chinese race has never been brutal.

This situation is almost the same in Guinea and Kalimantan, and the reason why Sumatra is special is because the troops of the "Lanfang Company" have not even landed on Sumatra.

And on the island of Guinea and Kalimantan, the troops of the "Lanfang Company" have already landed, and they are advancing with great momentum.

From the beginning of January to mid-February, almost in a month and a half, after hundreds of years, the seemingly stable Dutch colonial government in Borneo collapsed, and the "Lan Fong Company" took all of Borneo (Dutch East Indies as the Dutch name it) and became the owner of this 1.9 million square kilometers of land.

At the end of February, the first National Assembly of Borneo was held in Surabaya (Surabaya) and several controversial agreements were reached.

First of all, from now on, the original Dutch East Indies, known to the Chinese as Borneo, was officially renamed the "Grand Duchy of Lan Fang", and the capital was Surabaya.

Secondly, the "Grand Duchy of Lanfang" invited Qin Zhiyuan to serve as the king of Lanfang, and at the same time set up a legislative group to draft a constitution, and decided that all the rights of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang belonged to the cabinet, and the cabinet leader was called the "prime minister", and the first prime minister was Huang Bohan.

Again......

No, when the topic moved on to the second item, it immediately caused a great deal of controversy.

Those who objected were representatives of the Beiyang government, as well as the Chinese "Kapitan" who defected to the Grand Duchy of Lan Phong after the signing of the Paris Agreement.

The representative of the Beiyang government demanded that the Grand Duchy of Lanfang should take the lead of the Beiyang Government and recognize the suzerainty status of the Republic of China, and asked the Beiyang Government to send personnel to manage the affairs of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, and asked the Beiyang Government to send troops to the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, and the Beiyang Government would be responsible for the military, diplomatic, administrative and other affairs of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang.

How is this possible!

Huang Bohan directly replied: We don't trust the Beiyang government's ability to govern!

It's really distrustful, look at the Republic of China, which has been beaten into a pot of porridge, the governing ability of the Beiyang government can be seen.

What's more, in the process of the "uprising" of the Lanfang Company, the Beiyang government had almost no substantial support for the Lanfang Company, and even in the initial stage of the uprising of the Lanfang Company, the representatives of the Beiyang Government were more inclined to the side of the Dutch colonial government, which made the magnates of the new Grand Duchy of Lanfang unable to tolerate the Beiyang government.

Not to mention that "the Beiyang government is the first to look ahead", allowing the representatives of the Beiyang government to attend the meeting as observers can already be regarded as the same root and the same species.

As for those Chinese "Kapitan" who took refuge in the Grand Duchy of Lanfang after the signing of the Paris Agreement, this is a group of people who do not know the current affairs, and now they do not know how to reflect, but instead put forward political demands, which is not knowing life and death.

It is true that they do not know the current affairs, if they were aware of the current affairs, when the "Lanfang Company" first started the uprising, they would not have followed the colonial government, not to mention advancing and retreating with the "Lanfang Company", at least they should maintain a neutral wait-and-see attitude.

Take a look at the representatives from the Lion City (Singapore), although they were not directly involved in the uprising of the "Lanfang Company", they were never willing to be left behind in their donations, and they raised their voices in support of the "Lanfang Company" through various channels. Now, although the "Lanfang Company" has become the Republic of Lanfang, the representatives from the Lion City are not proud of their achievements, and do not express any opinions on the specific affairs of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, but only quietly do the role of "spectator", which is the way of smart people.

So the vigorous liquidation began immediately, and the liquidation targets were not only those indigenous and Chinese "Kapitan" who had oppressed the Chinese in the previous colonial era, but even the Dutch who had retreated were also in the liquidation ranks, as long as they had the blood of the Chinese in the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang before, even if they were absent, the verdict would be announced by the newly established Supreme Court.

At this time, the verdict does not need to be very precise, as soon as possible to vent the anger that has accumulated in the hearts of the Chinese for hundreds of years, and then focus on developing themselves.

But the grievances and anger that have accumulated for centuries can be vented by hundreds of death sentences, and some extreme Chinese have turned their attention to the indigenous people who have not had time to escape, as well as the Dutch descendants.

In the following week, there were several or hundreds of Chinese attacks on the indigenous people in the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang, the exact number of which is not known, because the Lan Fang authorities destroyed all official information, and there was no so-called "secrecy period" at all.

What is certain is that the attacks on the aborigines involved all areas of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, because just a week later, the Grand Duchy of Lanfang declared a state of emergency again (this state had been lifted half a month ago), and urgently promulgated the "Public Security Management Regulations", which protected the indigenous people of the Duchy Lanfang to a certain extent.

Dozens of teams then rushed across the country to ban attacks against the Indigenous people from happening again.

But it was too late, and at the end of February, the Grand Duchy of Lan Fong had a population of 3.7 million, with less than 300,000 indigenous people, making it a standard minority.

In the following six months, the aborigines who fled to the mountains and forests due to the war returned to their homes one after another, but the number of local aborigines never exceeded 500,000.

The demographic at the end of February included new immigrants from Malaya and the southeastern provinces of the Republic of China, as well as local Chinese in Lan Fong.

It was only at this time that the leaders of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang knew that there were more than 1.5 million Chinese living in this land of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, and a considerable number of them were black households.

Now the situation is completely different, as long as you have a little bit of contact with the Chinese, you will immediately recognize the identity of the Chinese. Even those pure locals, as long as they can speak two sentences of Chinese, no matter how much they beat around the bush, they have to be related to the Chinese, so there are nearly a million locals with one-quarter Chinese blood, or one-eighth, or even one-sixteenth, and one-thirty-second Chinese blood, and these people are also accepted by the Grand Duchy of Lan Fong and become part of the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang.

Chinese finally became the only official language in the Grand Duchy of Lan Fong, and although the "Dutch" and "Javanese" languages were not banned, they no longer had any status......

If you are not proficient in Chinese, you will not be able to get any position in the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang, and even the salesperson in the shop will pretend not to understand Dutch and Javanese and refuse to trade.

Because of Qin Zhiyuan's "French attributes", the status of the French language in the Grand Duchy of Lanfang is rising, and the reason for this is of course because Qin Zhiyuan is also French, but more because the members of the "umbrella" company who have returned to the Grand Duchy of Lanfang can speak a few words of French.

Yes, as soon as the Grand Duchy of Lanfang was established, the "Umbrella" company announced its return to the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, and the ambassadors of Britain, France, the United States and other countries to the Grand Duchy of Lanfang arrived with the "Umbrella Company".

From this speed of response, it can be seen that the attitude of the countries of the world towards the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, they almost can't wait to announce the recognition of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, and seek to establish ambassadorial-level diplomatic relations with the Grand Duchy of Lanfang.

Even Crown Prince Wilhelm, who is behind bars, is calling on Germany to establish relations with the Grand Duchy of Lanfang as soon as possible.

Well, although the Republic of China represented by Qin Zhiyuan was at war with France and Germany, the Grand Duchy of Lanfang did not declare war with Germany.

That's a mess!

And Qin Zhiyuan, who has already become a French citizen and has the nationality of the Republic of China, was invited to serve as the king of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, which did not cause any waves in Europe.

Europe has a tradition of inviting individuals from other countries to be their kings if they do not have a person whose prestige can be universally recognized.

This has happened in the UK, Russia, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, and so on. (To be continued.) )
