Let Batis and Milicic completely turn into frosted eggplants, Flanal's face showed a slight smug look, he squinted at Jean Batis and Milicic, and his eyes were clearly saying, Sue sù The people of the Chinese Empire are very powerful, so that you don't listen...

Batis smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Lin Fei, 500,000 taels of gold, you are completely blackmailing... We shouldn't have compensated that much gold anyway, should we? ”

Lin Fei said: "Who said I was blackmailing? I am asking for so much compensation for all the reason, come on, and take out the accounts. ”

A staff officer walked up to Jean Batis with a thick notebook and handed the notebook to Jean Batis, Lin Fei pointed to the notebook and said: "This notebook writes about the loss caused by the gold brick candy, including the cost of collecting the gold brick candy, the cost of destroying the gold brick candy, and the cost of treatment and compensation for the addict. ”

"One of the biggest is to compensate those children, according to statistics, there are more than 3,000 children in our Chinese Empire who have become addicted to Golden Brick Candy, and these children are generally under the age of fourteen, and our imperial government needs to pay a lot of money for these children's future lives."

Milicic said gloomily: "Mr. Lin Fei, we can't come up with so much money at all, and it won't matter if you kill us all." ”

Lin Fei sneered and said, "You can't take out so much money? Well, I've thought of a solution. Lin Fei said and asked one of his subordinates to take out two copies of the text, handed them to Jean Batis and Milicic, and said with a smile: "This is an agreement on the lease of the islands around Manado and an agreement on the settlement of trade currency. ”

"According to these two agreements, first, the dozen or so islands around Manado will become the leased territory of our Huaxia Empire, and you must not interfere in anything we do on them; Second, the trade between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Huaxia Empire must be settled in Huaxia currency. ”

Batis and Milicic's faces did not change when they heard the first one, but when they heard the second one, their faces changed, and they used Huaxia coins for settlement, which meant that the Chinese Empire could obtain the wealth of the Kingdom of the Netherlands by printing money...

Lin Fei saw the change in Batis and Milicic's expressions, and forced him to ask, "Do you agree?" If you don't, I'm going to be unkind to your ships. ”

Batis and Milicic looked at each other with earthy faces, and after a while, Batis smiled reluctantly and said, "Regarding the second article, we cannot represent the Kingdom of the Netherlands, only the place of Manado. ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "Manado is okay in one place, your trade between Manado Lao and our Huaxia Empire will be settled in Huaxia currency. ”

Batis smiled reluctantly and said, "We have to report this matter to the Governor." ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "No problem, I will let you go back and report, but I want to give you a time limit, today is May 12, and tomorrow at noon is the deadline, if you do not agree to my request before the deadline, then I'm sorry, I will lead the troops into Manado and meet the Governor of Manado." ”

Let Batis agree again and again, and fled with Milicic, Flanal saw that Batis and Milicic were gone, and asked Lin Fei carefully: "Your Majesty, can I also go?" ”

Lin Fei shook his head and smiled: "Do you want to leave?" Impossible..."

Vlanal hurriedly pleaded: "Flying Emperor, the opium candy matter really has nothing to do with me, I am just a captain, I was hired by the Manado company to transport gold brick candy, if you want to shoot at your subordinates, the person who gave the order is really not me, it is my boatswain, he is young and vigorous, but now that he has been killed by you, everyone is dead, you will let me go......"

Flanal actually cried as he spoke, Lin Fei didn't have the slightest soft-heartedness, and said coldly: "You roll me to the island now and stay honest, I will naturally let you go when I want to let you go, if you talk nonsense in front of me again, I will let you shut up forever." ”

Flanal was frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, Lin Fei led the two warships back to the island, and there was no word for a night, and the day turned around, the time soon came to twelve o'clock at noon, but there was not a Dutch ship on the sea.

Lin Fei raised his binoculars and looked in the direction of Manado for a while, and said to himself, "The Dutch didn't come, it looks like they are lying to me." ”

Liu Daming hurriedly said: "Since the Dutch are playing tricks with us, then let's not wait, let's attack." ”

Lin Fei had already figured out the enemy garrison here before coming to Manado, and the military strength here, in addition to the five gunboats used to intercept smuggling and defend against pirates, also had more than 200 Dutch soldiers, these soldiers were negligent in training, and had no other use than to bomb the ground.

Lin Fei ordered loudly: "The Tianlong ship, the Yunlong ship, cover the troop transport, and land in Manado Port." ”

As soon as Lin Fei gave the order, the fleet immediately began to move in accordance with the landing operation plan, the Tianlong and Yunlong ships immediately approached the harbor and prepared to shell the harbor, and the first regiment of the 1st Brigade began to change to landing boats and prepare to launch a beach rush.

The natural environment of Manado is relatively special, this port is a very "open" port, the so-called "open" means that there is no narrow waterway into the port, the whole port faces the sea with an open attitude, in this terrain conditions, foreign ships do not need to worry about mines, because the waterway into the port is too wide, mines can not be laid at all.

This natural environment also made it very difficult to defend, because there were so many landing sites that no amount of troops could defend them.

The Celestial Dragon Ship and the Cloud Dragon Ship boldly approached Manado, and opened fire to bombard the city, and thick black smoke rose in the city, this kind of shelling was deterrent, so it only fired a dozen shells and stopped.

At about 12:30 p.m., more than 1,000 soldiers of the 1st Regiment sailed to Manado in 50 small boats, and after half an hour's march, they rushed to land on the beach at 13 o'clock, and then marched towards Manado Old Town.

More than 1,000 soldiers were like an unstoppable torrent, and in the blink of an eye, they entered the old city of Manado, more than 200 Dutch soldiers in the city threw down their guns and fled, and at about 14 o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Fei's subordinates occupied the governor's palace in the old city of Manado, but the governor's palace was already empty, and the governor and all the officials were gone.

When the soldiers grabbed the guards and inquired, they learned that the governor and officials in the governor's palace had all fled last night, and the soldiers immediately reported the news to Lin Fei.

Lin Fei was taken aback when he heard the news, and Liu Daming laughed loudly, "The Dutch actually escaped, great, let's just enter Manado Old City and occupy this place completely." ”

Lin Fei shook his head lightly, Liu Daming was puzzled, "Manado is one of the two major strongholds of the Dutch on Sulawesi, and if you conquer here, Sulawesi will take half of it, what are you hesitating about?" ”

Lin Fei sighed lightly and said: "According to the introduction of the Chinese merchants before the war, the number of Chinese on this island is very small, we occupy this place, there is no one to rely on, compared to the Dutch and natives in the city, our troops are too small. ”

Lin Fei originally planned to use force to coerce the Dutch into submission, but he didn't expect the Dutch to roll up the covers and leave, which caught Lin Fei off guard for a while, it was as if Lin Fei threw a punch violently, but he missed.

Liu Daming laughed when he heard Lin Fei's words, and said, "Old Lin, what's wrong with you?" There are no Chinese in the city to be afraid of, don't you have the magic of brainwashing? ”

"Brainwashing magic?" Lin Fei was stunned for a moment when he heard this name, and Liu Daming said with a smile: "Except for a small number of Dutch people in this old city of Manado, they are local natives, although those natives work in the Dutch factory, but their thoughts are still relatively simple, you can completely wash their heads, let them believe that they are nationals of the Chinese Empire, isn't Manado Lao ours?" ”

Liu Daming's words reminded Lin Fei, Lin Fei patted his thigh, and said with a smile: "Okay, enter the city, and then give an order to Voss City, and let them send more troops to support us." ”

Lin Fei immediately ordered the troops to enter the city, and the natives in the city stood curiously on both sides of the street to watch the procession entering the city, and while watching, they made a "tsk" sound without the slightest resistance or hostility.

In the history of Lin Fei's time, there were violent incidents against the Chinese in Indonesia, but those incidents mainly occurred in the cities of Sumatra and Java, and the indigenous people of Sulawesi were still very friendly.

Lin Fei waved his hand to call the interpreter to the front and said, "Sue these natives, their ancestors came from the land of China, we are their brothers, and then sue them, and the taxes collected by the Dutch on them will be nullified..."

The interpreter conveyed Lin Fei's words to the natives, and the simple and kind natives were overjoyed when they heard the news, and they took all kinds of delicacies to Lin Fei and his subordinate soldiers, all of which exuded a "terrifying" smell, making the soldiers cry and laugh.

The first thing Lin Fei did after entering the city was to seize the Manado Food Company and confiscate all its gold brick sugars, Lin Fei did not destroy these gold brick sugars directly, because opium can be used for medical purposes, this kind of thing is an excellent anesthetic in the hands of traditional Chinese medicine, as early as the Three Kingdoms era, Hua Tuo had made hemp boiling powder, and in the more distant Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Bian Que also used anesthetics, these traditional skills, with the Western medicine broke through the country and disappeared.
