Chapter 68: The Sultan in Panic

PS: The second update is here! Ask for collections, ask for recommendation tickets, Sanjiang tickets and dream tickets! Thank you for the tips of the little 2b and the Datang Tanhualang!

In this day and age, it is very difficult for a country to rise quickly. This is especially true in the event of a massive invasion by the Western powers! If the Xinhua Kingdom established by Long Yufei wants to develop and grow before the threat of Western powers comes, the only way is through this bloody way! Attack the effects of the South Seas, destroy their country, plunder their wealth, and enslave their people! Only in this way can we create the glory of the Chinese! Although this will be a history of blood and tears for the natives of Nanyang, for the Chinese, it is indeed an epic of hard work!

It is better to let those natives die than to kill and enslave countless compatriots after the Western powers ruled Nanyang! It was with this mentality that Long Yufei established the development policy of Xinhuaguo!

"What about the Sultan?" Long Yufei asked.

"After we found the treasure house, we sent him to his Allah!" Li Hu said expressionlessly. Under Long Yufei's teaching, the naïve child who used to be now regarded as those natives like pigs and dogs!

Long Yufei nodded and said no more. This time, the harvest exceeded his expectations. Although he knew that these indigenous nations must have amassed a wealth after centuries of development. But he didn't expect that after getting these riches, it was still a little beyond his expectations. However, this is a good thing for Xinhuaguo! If Xinhua wants to develop, it needs a lot of money, and Long Yufei wishes that there would be more of these gold and jewelry! In addition, Long Yufei is also more looking forward to the next goals of the Xinhua Army, the Maguindanao Sultanate and the Sulu Sultanate, both of which are stronger and richer than the Buayan Sultanate, and the wealth they have accumulated over the centuries must be more! In particular, the Sultanate of Sulu, as a country with a developed economy and trade in the South Seas, has accumulated wealth that cannot be compared with the Buayan Sultanate. If Xinhua wants to take off, it has to step on their corpses!

At present, the biggest factor restricting the development of Xinhua is probably the population. Although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Xinhua and the Chinese families of Zamboanga are absorbing people from all over Nanyang for Xinhua Kingdom. Every month, thousands of Chinese people take a boat to Xinhua to settle down. However, in Long Yufei's opinion, this speed is still too slow! After the destruction of the Moro country, the Xinhua army had to continue to expand. In Borneo and Luzon, there are still a large number of Chinese, and only after integrating these Chinese, the foundation of the new Chinese kingdom will be completely solidified!

It took less than a day for the Xinhua army to destroy the Buayan Sultanate. After Sultan Gammel was executed, the entire country's military and government officials were basically killed by the Xinhua Army. After losing the command of these people, the resistance of the Buayan Sultanate was even more unorganized, and it was completely unable to resist the attack of the Xinhua army!

Next, the 1st Brigade of the Xinhua Army launched a sweep of the Buayan Sultanate. They swept like locusts through the fertile land around Davao Bay, and all the Moro towns and villages were captured. The wealth of the Moros was plundered by the Xinhua army, the old Moros were executed, and the rest became slaves of the Xinhua Kingdom!

Half a month later, the Xinhua army completely controlled the Buayan Sultanate. More than 60,000 Moros became captives of the New Chinese Kingdom. This is also the reason why some Moros saw that the situation was not good, and fled early.

Long Yufei ordered two infantry battalions to be left in the Buayan Sultanate to control the situation here. At the same time, he sent people back to Xinhua City and asked the Government Council to organize immigrants to Davao Bay. In addition, all the Moro slaves captured in the Buayan Sultanate were used to build roads. Now that Xinhua has occupied the northern and southern parts of Mindanao, it is not enough to connect the two areas by sea, and the land transportation must also be opened. Although it was difficult to build roads on the forested island of Mindanao, there were many slaves in the new country. Tens of thousands of Moro slaves repaired from the south to the north, and Xinhua City dispatched tens of thousands of indigenous slaves from the north to the south, and it is estimated that the road connecting the north and south of Mindanao will be built in a year. At that time, it will be easier for Xinhua to develop Mindanao's mineral resources.

After arranging the affairs of the Sultanate of Buayan, Long Yufei led his army to the west, along the coastline, to the Sultanate of Maguindanao, another sultanate on Mindanao. The journey from Davao to Kotabato, the capital of the Maguindanao Sultanate, is almost 500 kilometers by sea and takes two days. Prior to this, the First Fleet of the Xinhua Navy had sent six warships to Zamboanga. In this attack on the Maguindanao Sultanate, the Third Brigade of the Xinhua Army will also send two infantry battalions to participate in the attack on the Sultanate of Maguindanao, so as to enhance the strength of the Xinhua Army!

When the Xinhua Army was still in Davao, the Maguindanao Sultanate was already in a panic! The destruction of the Buayan Sultanate, the killing of the Sultan, and the fact that all the citizens became slaves of the New China Kingdom had reached the Maguindanao Sultanate. The sultans of the Maguindanao Sultanate and their subjects were very alarmed. They have no doubt that after the destruction of the Buayan Sultanate, the next target of those Chinese will definitely be theirs! After all, the Maguindanao Sultanate, like the Buayan Sultanate, is an enemy of the Xinhua State, and it is the kind that has already declared war!

In the palace of Cotabato, the capital of the Maguindanao Sultanate, Sultan Yusuf is anxious to discuss countermeasures with the military and government officials of the Maguindanao Sultanate. Yusuf is a middle-aged man with a sturdy build, and unlike Gamal, Yusuf is also hedonistic, but at the same time ambitious. After he became a sultan, he was bent on occupying the rich Zamboanga. It was not until the last time an army was sent to attack Zamboanga that it was defeated by the 3rd Brigade of the Xinhua Army stationed there that the idea was temporarily abandoned.

At this moment, Sultan Yusuf's face no longer had the usual confidence, replaced by a panicked expression. Although the Buayan Sultanate is weaker than the Maguindanao Sultanate, it is also weak! However, in just one day, the Buayan Sultanate was destroyed, much to the horror of the Maguindanao Sultanate. If it resists to the end, with the strength of the Maguindanao Sultanate, it will definitely not be the opponent of those Chinese!

In the main hall of the royal palace, the military and government officials of the Maguindanao Sultanate were all talking. However, more than an hour has passed, and they have not yet come up with constructive ideas, they are just talking nonsense. This made Sultan Yusuf very dissatisfied!

"Shut up! You guys, those damn Chinese are coming, what the hell are we going to do now? Yusuf roared!

Seeing that the Sultan was angry, the ministers closed their mouths one by one, but no one spoke. After all, in the face of a powerful enemy, they can't think of any good way! Everyone seems to think that the Sultanate of Maguindanao is doomed this time. Some high-ranking officials are even considering whether they should immediately flee the Maguindanao Sultanate with their possessions and flee to the safety of the Sulu Sultanate. Although the Chinese are powerful, they should not dare to attack the Sulu Sultanate!

"Hassan! Is there anything you can do? Yusuf asked. Hassan is the head of the government of the Sultanate of Maguindanao and is second only to Sultan Yusuf in the country.

"Your Majesty! The Chinese are too strong, and if we are to fight, we are no match for them! If we can, let's make peace with them! Even if a certain amount of benefits are lost, as long as the country can be preserved and the safety of the people can be guaranteed, this is enough! Hassan suggested!

Yusuf's face was a little unpleasant, and he negotiated peace with Xinhuaguo, which undoubtedly meant bowing to Xinhuaguo and admitting defeat. The most critical point is that even if the Maguindanao Sultanate bows its head and admits defeat, Xinhua will not necessarily let them go! The attitude of the Xinhua people can be seen from the very spicy treatment of the natives and the Buayan Sultanate!

"Lord Hassan, even if we were to make peace with those damn Chinese, would they agree? Don't forget, we fought them in Zamboanga! Now that the Xinhua Kingdom is attacking, they will definitely not let us go easily! A bearded middle-aged man said. He was the commander of the military of the Maguindanao Sultanate, Alimu.

"Humph! So, General Alimu, can you lead the army to defeat those Chinese? Hassan said dismissively.

Suddenly, Alimu's face was flushed, if it weren't for the critical situation now, he would have scolded Hassan a long time ago!

"Your Majesty! Although our army is no match for those Chinese, we can ask for help from the Sultanate of Sulu! The Sulus, like us, belong to the Molos. Although the relationship between our country and the Sultanate of Sulu is not very good, in such a situation, the Sultanate of Sulu will certainly not sit idly by! Alimu said.

Yusuf hesitated a little, the Sultanate of Sulu was much stronger than the Sultanate of Maguindanao. Relations between the two countries were not very good, and if it weren't for the fact that the Sultanate of Sulu looked down on the poor countryside of the Sultanate of Maguindanao, perhaps the Sultanate of Sulu would have destroyed the Sultanate of Maguindanao long ago. With a population of more than 500,000 and developed overseas trade, the Sultanate of Sulu is at least ten times more powerful than the Sultanate of Maguindanao. If the Chinese are repulsed and the Sultanate of Sulu destroys the Sultanate of Maguindanao, then Yusuf will have no place to cry!

"Your Majesty, we can only turn to the Sultanate of Sulu for help now!" Alimu persuaded.

After a while, Yusuf nodded, he only hoped that he would not lure the wolf into the room!
