"Fellow citizens, I am the king of the new country! From now on, you are your king! You have suffered! I promise you that no one will bully you anymore! In Xinhuaguo, you can straighten your waist and be a man! Long Yufei said to the Chinese who had just disembarked. Compared with those compatriots who died in the turmoil, they were undoubtedly lucky to be able to live to Xinhua Kingdom. And Long Yufei's responsibility is to let these compatriots see hope and live happily. This is exactly what he and the whole Xinhua are working towards, and it is also his commitment!

"Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving your life! Many Chinese were moved to tears, and they knelt on the ground to express their most sincere gratitude to Long Yufei, as if there was no way to express their gratitude except for this.

"Prime Minister, I'll leave it to you! The government must do a good job in the resettlement of these compatriots. If anyone dares to stretch out their hands, they will be severely punished! Long Yufei said solemnly. He didn't want these compatriots to escape from hell with great difficulty, and after arriving in Xinhuaguo, they would not be able to live a good life. If that's the case, then he, the king who is determined to save the Chinese as his mission, is a little unqualified!

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will personally pay attention to this work!" Prime Minister Li Decheng assured. He knew that Long Yufei's hatred for corrupt officials and corrupt officials, although the Xinhua Kingdom had just been established not long ago, there were still some trends, but it was not serious.

Long Yufei and Queen Luo Yuhua didn't stay long on the dock before leaving. He wanted to continue to condolence those Chinese, but. When he and Luo Yuhua were there, those compatriots kowtowed to them one by one to express their gratitude. It made him feel very uncomfortable.

After Long Yufei and the two of them left, the Government Council officially began the resettlement of these Chinese. In the city of Manila, some temporary shelters have already been built to accommodate these Chinese. This is the house built by the indigenous slaves driven by Xinhua after the evacuation operation began, although it is not luxurious, but it can be regarded as a shelter from the wind and rain. Wait until Manila is full. The rest of the Chinese will also gradually resettle around Manila. The land around Manila is fertile and fertile land. A large part of it is now wasteland. Even if the entire Indonesian Chinese gather here, it is enough to settle down.

From this day. Almost every day, merchant ships carrying these Chinese arrived in Manila. After a long journey, these Chinese arrived in Manila and were properly resettled for them. I finally got a comfort. The efforts of the new China and the government. These Chinese people also saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts, which made their loyalty to Xinhua rise sharply, and they became the hardcore supporters of Long Yufei and Xinhua Guo. Many of them fought for Long Yufei's hegemony for their lives, and many of them died on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives!

The large-scale evacuation of Xinhua from Dutch Indonesia lasted for a month. More than 200,000 Chinese were taken to Xinhuaguo. These Chinese were all resettled in the rich areas of Manila and Luzon, with the full support of the Xinhua government. They will soon be able to live a good life. Xinhuaguo's large-scale evacuation of overseas Chinese caused a huge shock in the entire Nanyang region.

First, the Xinhua Navy annihilated the powerful Dutch Navy's East India Fleet, alarming the other forces in the South Seas. In the South Seas, the East India Fleet is already a powerful navy second to none. Even the Far East Fleet of the British Navy was inferior in size to the East India Fleet of the Dutch Navy. Now, the East India Fleet was easily destroyed, which made the British feel a great threat. The British Channel Governor, Bonham, contacted the colonial authorities of British India to strengthen the military strength of the Straits Settlements. In order not to be threatened by Xinhuaguo. Second, because of the Chinese suffering, Xinhua forced the Dutch Indonesian colonial authorities by force to make them agree to Xinhua's request for the evacuation of overseas Chinese, which made the major powers feel great pressure. You must know that the situation of the Chinese in Nanyang has never been very good, and God knows whether the Xinhua Kingdom will use this excuse to do something to them? If so, how can they resist?

The Chinese in the Nanyang region are deeply encouraged. All along, they have been bullied by both foreigners and natives. Now, with the rise of the new Chinese country, it still protects the interests of the Chinese in this way, which makes them feel that they are bitter and happy. The Chinese in some areas even actively contacted Xinhuaguo, hoping that Xinhuaguo would send a large army to rescue them, and they also hoped to live a good life without being bullied.

It's just that Xinhuaguo can't take care of them. As the time approached, all the work of Xinhua was carried out around the revenge of the Spaniards! Although, the government of Long Yufei, the king of Xinhua, and the top brass of the military, are confident that they will defeat the Spaniards' counterattack this time. However, the general public is still worried. If the Spaniards could not be defeated, the new kingdom would be short-lived and soon withered. And the majority of Chinese will also live a hard life again because their hopes are dashed.

In early April, King Long Yufei of the New China Kingdom inspected shore defense artillery in Manila Bay. After the Xinhua Kingdom occupied Manila, it immediately began to build coastal defense batteries here. After more than half a year of hard work, the preliminary construction was finally completed. Zhao Chenglong, who was formerly the commander of the coastal defense artillery in Xinhua City, was also transferred to Manila and became the artillery commander here. Today, it was he who introduced Long Yufei to the fortifications here.

"Your Majesty! The entire Manila coastal fortifications consist of 27 batteries, large and small, equipped with 120 75 mm coastal defense guns, 108 105 mm shore defense guns and 75 155 mm shore defense guns, for a total of 303 shore defense guns. Manila's defensive strength is a step higher than that of Xinhua City. In addition, our shore defense batteries have a completely new design. All the forts were made of reinforced concrete, with steel plates up to 50 mm thick embedded in them, and a special anti-seismic layer was also installed. Even if it is bombarded by the enemy's large-caliber naval guns, it is enough to ensure that the artillery inside is safe and sound! Zhao Chenglong introduced to Long Yufei.

"Can the 32-pounder gun of the foreign devil penetrate the protection of the battery?" Long Yufei asked. The largest caliber of artillery now equipped on warships of Western navies is a 32-pounder gun. There were larger caliber 42-pounder guns before, but they were eliminated because the rate of fire was too slow and the range was too close!

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, we have carried out a special inspection! The defense of the battery was enough to withstand the close-range fire of the 32-pounder gun! Zhao Chenglong patted his chest and reassured.

Long Yufei nodded, quite satisfied with the fortifications in Manila. The 155-mm cannon was developed and first equipped with shore defense artillery. 155-mm heavy howitzer weighing up to a caliber of 155 mm with a barrel sixteen times longer caliber. The range of high and low shots is 0 degrees to 42 degrees. The shell weighed 42 kilograms, the muzzle velocity of the shell was 285 meters per second, the maximum firing range was 6,500 meters, and the gun weighed 2.8 tons. It is obviously unrealistic to equip such a heavy cannon with the army, and it can only be used as a shore defense gun or naval gun. A 42-kilogram shell, converted to the imperial system, is almost 92.5 pounds, which is almost three times the largest naval gun of the Western Navy! With such a strong power, maybe a single shot can take out a third-class battleship! Long Yufei couldn't help but look forward to what kind of reaction those Spanish warships would have after breaking into Manila Bay and encountering such a fierce shelling.

The commanders of the three major fleets of the Xinhua Navy also drooled as they looked at the 155-mm shore defense guns. After the successful development of the 155-mm howitzer, they strongly demanded that the 155-mm naval gun be developed as soon as possible to equip the naval fleet. It's just that the requirements for naval guns are higher, and no progress has been made so far. Add to this the layout of the 'Shark-class' cruiser, it is enough to carry 105-mm naval guns. Therefore, Long Yufei did not ask the fleets to change their outfits. If the 155-mm naval guns are to be put on the ship, it is estimated that they will have to wait until the next more powerful warship enters service.

"Your Majesty! The ministers are confident that the Spanish navy will not reach Manila! Our three fleets are enough to bury them all at sea! First Fleet Commander Wei Yong said.

Lu Haipeng, commander of the Second Fleet, and Liu Xu, commander of the Third Fleet, also agreed with this view. Although, so far it is not clear the size of the Spanish expeditionary force. However, they were confident in the performance of the Shark-class cruisers. The three major fleets, a total of 36 'Shark-class' cruisers, could not deal with the Spaniards.

"Don't be proud! We're just a little more powerful than the foreign devils in terms of the performance of the battleship! With their industrial prowess, they will soon catch up with ours! Long Yufei warned. These guys in the navy, after two victories, began to their tails, which is not good. The strength of Xinhuaguo is inseparable from its advanced weaponry. Long Yufei believes that Western countries must have begun to analyze and study Xinhua's weapons and equipment. With their industrial prowess, it is not difficult to create weapons of the same kind. At that time, Xinhua will no longer be able to gain an advantage in weapons and equipment, and it will be very difficult to continue to win!

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The three fleet commanders hurriedly said.

Hundreds of shore defense guns opened fire at the same time, and for a time the sky shook and the earth exploded, splashing water columns one after another, as if the entire sea was boiling. Several target ships on the surface of the sea were blown to pieces in an instant, and became planks floating on the sea! (To be continued......)
