Chapter 166: Petition for Nomination

PS: The second update is here! Ask for subscriptions, monthly passes, and referral tickets! Thank you for the monthly pass 21437612!

In addition to Luzon, Dutch Indonesia, and the Straits Settlements of the United Kingdom, there are also a large number of Chinese in places such as Thailand and Vietnam. It's just that the living conditions of these Chinese people are different. The Chinese in Thailand have basically integrated into the local society and have a high social status. The Chinese in other regions, because of the contradictions with the Western colonizers and the local aborigines, make their living conditions worse! The first goal after the founding of the new Chinese country was to rescue these Chinese from fire and water, and turn the whole of Nanyang into a paradise for the Chinese!

Now, Xinhuaguo's attack on Lan Fangguo will certainly damage Xinhuaguo's image in the minds of the vast number of Chinese people. However, it doesn't hurt either. People are forgetful, as long as Xinhua State annexes Lanfang Kingdom and treats ordinary people more preferentially, they will be grateful to Xinhua Country and will not hold a grudge against Xinhua Kingdom. Of course, those with vested interests whose interests are damaged is another matter!

Lan Fangguo is not a good bird, and in the process of the rise of Lan Fangguo, it has also swallowed up the power of many Chinese! At the beginning, the Lan Fang Kingdom was just one of the many powerful forces established by the Chinese in West Borneo. It's just that after decades of development, Lan Fangguo annexed other Chinese forces and dominated West Borneo. When annexing other Chinese forces, Lan Fangguo did not do any less bad things, and even did not hesitate to unite with the local natives and the Dutch. History is written by the victors, and Lan Fangguo became the last victor. So no one blames them. Now, in the face of Xinhuaguo, Lan Fangguo still has no power to fight back. After the annexation of Lanfang by Xinhua. Of course, there will be a little trouble in the early stage, but soon, when those ordinary Chinese taste the sweetness, they will quickly abandon Lan Fangguo and turn to the arms of Xinhua Kingdom! You must know that although Lan Fangguo is the number one force in West Borneo, he is an ordinary Chinese. Didn't get much benefit. The gold and the like produced by Lan Fangguo every year are all taken over by the leadership. Ordinary Chinese, life is not good!

The shelling of Yamaguchi by the Second Fleet of the Xinhua Navy. It lasted only ten minutes before it was over. Lan Fangguo's army, in the shelling of Xinhua Kingdom, scattered in a hurry, those vested interests who rebelled against Xinhua Kingdom. The soles of their feet are also oiled.

Soon. The landing of the Xinhua Army began. An infantry battalion of the 1st Brigade of the Xinhua Army was the first to land at Shankouyang. The whole landing process was very smooth and did not encounter any obstacles. After the landing, the infantry battalion easily took over the entire port, and then the Xinhua army began to land in a big way. Lan Fangjun seemed to have turned a blind eye to the landing of the Xinhua Army. There was no intention of launching an attack at all.

Actually, the shelling before the Xinhua Army. It has already frightened the rabble that has just been formed. In addition, Gu Yun left with a group of elites, which made the remaining Lan Fang army even more frightened. Xie Guifang's father and son also fled, and the Lan Fang army in Shankou Yang was almost leaderless, and it was simply impossible for them to resist the landing of the Xinhua army!

At 1 p.m., the 1st Brigade of the Xinhua Army completed the landing, and the army left the port and launched an attack on the urban area of Yamaguchiyang.

"Shoot or kill!" Faced with the slogan of the Xinhua Army to surrender their guns and not to kill, most of the Lanfang Army chose to surrender. The strength of the Xinhua Army made them despair from the bottom of their hearts. Since you can't defeat the Xinhua Army, you can simply surrender. Although the Xinhua Army treats the captives very cruelly, for the sake of everyone being compatriots, it shouldn't be too cruel to them!

In less than an hour, the Xinhua Army took over the defense of Yamaguchiyang. More than 2,000 Lan Fang troops surrendered to the Xinhua army, and in the operation to take over Yamaguchiyang, the Xinhua army paid the price of two soldiers wounded. The number of Lan Fangjun who dared to resist was also very small, only a few people!

Niu Meng, chief of the general staff of the Xinhua Army, also led the personnel of the staff to disembark and board the mountain pass. The follow-up troops, especially the artillery of the heavy artillery brigade, will have to wait at least until tomorrow if they want to complete loading and unloading. The heavy artillery brigade of the Xinhua Army has a total of 5 heavy artillery battalions, each heavy artillery battalion has a total of 18 105mm howitzers, and the entire heavy artillery brigade has a total of 90 105mm howitzers. The port of Yamaguchi-yo lacked machinery and equipment for loading and unloading, and it was not an easy task to load and unload cannons weighing 1.2 tons from merchant ships, and they had to be dismantled and sent ashore in batches before being assembled. However, it will also take more time!

Fortunately, Yamaguchiyang's Lanfang army was vulnerable, and the Xinhua army surrendered as soon as they landed. As for the Allied Jersey Army, they are still more than a hundred kilometers away in Dongwanlu and Pontianak! If they dared to make a sortie, by the time they arrived, the first batch of three infantry brigades and one heavy artillery brigade of the Xinhua Army would have already completed the landing!

Yamaguchiyang is one of the important cities in Lanfang Kingdom, where tens of thousands of Chinese live. Most of the Chinese did not flee when the Xinhua Army attacked. When the Xinhua Army took control of the city, and the streets were full of Xinhua soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms, most of these Chinese people hid at home, looking at the Xinhua Army outside in horror. They don't know what these black-haired, black-eyed, yellow-skinned compatriots will do to them. The news of the massacre of the Chinese by the Jose coalition army in East Wanlu has reached here!

"Fellow Yamaguchi people! We are the Xinhua Army, an army built by the Chinese! We came to West Borneo to defeat the Spaniards and the Dutch. The Chinese people in the world are one family, and we will not hurt you! The reason why we will occupy Shankou Yang by force is entirely because of those rotten leaders of Lan Fangguo, who for their own selfish interests, do not care about the lives of the vast number of Chinese people, and do not allow us to land in Shankou Yang! From now on, you are all a member of our new country! The cavalry of the Xinhua Army on war horses galloped wildly through the streets of Shankouyang, shouting to everyone at the same time to dispel the fear of the Chinese in Lanfang Kingdom for the Xinhua Army.

A very important reason why Xinhua wants to annex Lanfang is that there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese in Lanfangguo. After these Chinese join the Xinhua Kingdom, the total population of the Xinhua Kingdom will reach more than one million. Although it is not yet comparable to the Western powers, it is still a lot of progress. The demographic crisis facing Xinhua will be further contacted.

Many people in Lanfang have heard of the country of Xinhuaguo. Thanks to the efforts of the intelligence officers and businessmen of Xinhua Kingdom, Xinhua Kingdom is a paradise in the minds of the Chinese people in Lanfang Country where everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and is not bullied by natives and foreigners. Before, there were also many Chinese in Lanfangguo who hoped to live like the Chinese in Xinhuaguo. It's just that it is difficult to leave the homeland, and the Chinese are unwilling to leave their homeland as a last resort. But now, Xinhua actually landed in West Borneo and annexed Lanfangguo, and since then, the Chinese in Lanfangguo have been the people of Xinhuaguo, which makes them a little frightened and excited, but more confused!

The Chinese are kind, and so are the Chinese in Lan Fangguo. Otherwise, they would not have endured the exploitation and oppression of the rotten leader of Lan Fangguo. Thanks to the efforts of the Xinhua Army, they believed the words of the Xinhua Army. Many people walked out of the house and started contact with the Xinhua Army. The same hair, eyes, and skin that make them feel relatable. Moreover, the soldiers of the Xinhua Army do not have the ruffian spirit of the Lan Fang Army, which is easier for the Chinese people of Lan Fangguo to accept. In less than a day, the Chinese people of Yamaguchi-yo seem to have accepted the fact that their identity has changed!

After gaining the recognition of the Chinese in Yamaguchiyang, the Xinhua army breathed a sigh of relief. If they can get the recognition of the Chinese in Yamaguchiyang, they will be able to get the recognition of the Chinese in other cities of Lanfangguo, so that the resistance of Xinhua to annex Lanfangguo will be much smaller!

"Come on, have you caught those remnants of Lan Fangguo's high-level leaders?" Niu Meng asked. Those vested interests of Lan Fangguo are undoubtedly the most resolute people who resist Xinhua Guo, and if these people can be arrested or even resolved, it will be much less difficult for Xinhua to annex Lan Fangguo. Otherwise, with the existence of these-stirring sticks, sooner or later the disaster will be buried.

"Chief of Staff, our men are after them! They fled before we landed! Military Intelligence and National Security Intelligence (NSI) intelligence agents in West Borneo are cooperating with our pursuit! Staff officer Kang Rui reported to Niu Meng.

Niu Meng nodded, with the cooperation of the intelligence personnel, and the Xinhua Army personally dispatched, there should be no problem in destroying the remnants of Lan Fangguo. It's just that it takes a little time.

More than 30 kilometers north of the mountain pass, two groups of people are facing each other. Gu Yun, the son of the previous great ruler of Lan Fangguo, took thousands of henchmen and soldiers to block the road to the north, and the people they blocked were Xie Guifang and Xie Wenbin father and son, as well as those high-level leaders of Lan Fangguo who supported the Xie family father and son!

"Gu Yun, what do you want to do? Don't get out of the way yet! Otherwise, it will be too late, and those people in Xinhua will catch up! Xie Guifang asked angrily. The Xinhua army landed in Shankouyang, Gu Yun evacuated as soon as possible, and did not suffer much loss, but the army controlled by the Xie family's father and son was almost lost, and now they only have less than two hundred people!

Gu Yun looked at the Xie family's father and son coldly, and it was only during this period of time that he recognized the true face of their father and son. The reason why the Xie family and his son are blocked here is completely because Gu Yun wants to use the Xie family's father and son as a vote in exchange for the trust of the Xinhua Army. He wants to avenge Gu Liubo, and now apart from the Xinhua Army, there is no other force to rely on! (To be continued......)
