Just when Zheng Xiaomao defeated the Dutch, 100 warships and more than 30,000 soldiers of the British and French forces had already arrived in Singapore, and the Governor of the Straits Settlements, Brandel, had already arranged a garrison site.

Clinton and Butler are the commanders-in-chief of this army, Clinton is British, nominally commander-in-chief, Butler is French, commanding all French warships and armies, followed by the Canadian Governor General Ergin, who was appointed as a special envoy by the British king, and the British naval commander Hubb and his party.

Seeing that all the armies were properly settled, Clinton followed Brandel to the Governor's Palace, where everyone washed off their bodies and gathered in the hall where banquets were usually held, and more than a dozen Western women shuttled among the magnates.

Brandel came to Clinton's side and complimented: "I didn't expect the country to send a general over, it seems that this campaign will definitely win!" The yellow-skinned monkeys from the north were defeated this time, even though they had just won a war. ”

"Oh? They won a war? Clinton frowned and asked, knowing that the war Brandel was talking about was unusual.

Brandel smiled: "That was a few days ago, the Han army defeated the Dutch, I heard that the two armies fought three times, the Dutch were all defeated, more than 10,000 dead and wounded, hahaha, these Dutch were beaten away by a group of monkeys, it is really becoming more and more unsuccessful, I think in a few years they can't even beat the natives." ”

Clinton was surprised in his heart and asked: "Although the Dutch were defeated at the hands of our British Empire, their strength still exists, especially because they are equipped with firearms, although they are not as good as Mini rifles, but tens of thousands of people have lost to the Han State, and they have lost three times." It seems that the Far East is not as European legend goes. ”

"Legends? Mr. Sir is going to be disappointed, the Han army also uses firearms. It's not a big sword or spear, but the general brings the elite of a hundred battles. It's another story. Brandel laughed for a moment, and then said, "The lion lives in the flock, and sooner or later becomes a sheep." ”

The Governor General of Canada, Ergin, came over and said with a smile: "In recent years, there have also been Han people who have come to Canada to reclaim land, and I heard that the Russians sold northern Alaska to the Han State, hehe, after this battle, I must monopolize this land." ”

Clinton said, "Are any of you familiar with the land of the Han Kingdom?" Sir Wenham suggested landing from the north and attacking their capital directly, Peking. What I want to know is, if Beijing is captured, will the Han Kingdom really surrender? ”

Erjin said with certainty: "Yes, the general doesn't understand them, if we occupy their capital, and the emperor of Han still doesn't compromise, we will burn Beijing, and I'm not afraid that they won't admit defeat." ”

"That's a good point!" Brandel praised, "That's right, we're just going to teach them a lesson." It's not a war to destroy the country, they will definitely surrender. ”

The British gathered in a circle, and the French gathered in a circle, but this circle was a stranger. He was Sir Bourblon, Minister to China who had come from the Han Kingdom.

"What! Did the Emperor of Han really say that? They are willing to share the land of Nanyang with us equally! The French commander Meng Douban was surprised and delighted, and Emperor Napoleon sent them to the Far East just to take advantage of them and extort some military benefits. I didn't expect that he would be able to base himself on Nanyang now, if he did it. His Majesty the Emperor will definitely give him Nanyang and make him the governor. Promotion!

Bourblon smiled: "Yes, this is true, now the Han has defeated the Dutch, the following is the Spaniards, the Han has more than 30 warships, our French strength is not inferior to him, and Spain has hundreds of thousands of troops, less than 30,000 can fight, only our French can defeat Spain, with the assistance of the Han State, we will definitely be able to seize the Philippines, we France has a foothold in the South Seas, we do not have to rely on the British breath, Vietnam, Burma, India...... It's all us French. ”

"But how should we explain it to the British, do we tell them that we French have decided to stand on the side of the Han Chinese, you fight yours, I will beat mine." Father Milton said worriedly.

Bulblon said disappretently to Clinton's direction Nunu: "We French are not vassals of the British, we French are reorganizing our army in Nanyang and letting the British go first, do they dare to refuse?" It's a big deal, let's break up in two, if we don't kill each other, we will find out with them tomorrow, and then contact the Han army, attack the Philippines, and drive the Spaniards out of the South Seas! ”

"Have you asked for advice in China? I think His Majesty the Emperor will agree that the South Seas are abundant, and the Spaniards bring back tens of thousands of gold every year, and that when the time comes, the South Seas will be used as a base to seize Brazil and Mexico, and France will be able to replace the British. ”

"Good! That's it! ”

Sure enough, on the second day, the French moved to the sea, and the British army was confused and hurriedly sent people to inquire.

When Clinton heard that the French were going to act alone, he was shocked and personally boarded the ship of the French commander Meng Douban and inquired about the competition.

"You want to stay in the South Seas? What is this for? Have you forgotten the orders of His Majesty Napoleon? ”

Meng Douban was not angry, he was just perfunctory at will, if he told the British the truth, the British might have to get a piece of the pie and not start a war with the Han State, then what happened to the French in Nanyang!

"I'm sorry General, but after a few months of sailing, sickness is rampant in the army, and we are unable to move on.

Clinton said secretly: Nonsense, you French are the same as the British, sailing on the seas, and we only have 100 sick people in Britain, and you French are rampant with diseases? Looks like they want to conserve their strength, these damn bastards! Since they dared to divide their troops, they made up their minds, and I couldn't persuade them to come back.

"Well, since the general has made up his mind, let's take the first step, I just hope that the general will take care of the overall situation."

In order to avoid the suspicion of the British, Meng Douban and Bourblon only repaired on a small island near Vietnam, sent people to monitor the movements of the British day and night, and sent people to contact Tang Zhengcai, the commander of the Han army, to attack the Philippines and Luzon during the meeting.

Bourblon was responsible for exploring the Philippine terrain, the arrangement of soldiers and horses, especially the precious metal minerals such as gold mines, and also took the initiative to demarcate the border, the rich land is all within the range of the French army, and the barren land is all within the range of the Han army.

Meng Douban looked at it for a while and said with a smile: "If you do this, the Han people will not agree, and there will be a dispute when the time comes!" ”

Bourblon was proud for a while, and replied: "If the British contain the Han army, what else do we have to fear, maybe we can occupy most of the South Seas and drive the Han people back to the mainland!" ”

"Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Si (To be continued......)
