"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the conflict between the Sultanate of Sulu and the Kingdom of Xinhua is a complete misunderstanding! From beginning to end, we have no intention of being an enemy of Xinhuaguo! All this is because of the demagogy of the Maguindanao Sultanate, who sent people to bewitch the Suleimani Sultan, and this is what caused the conflict between our two countries! The Sultanate of Sulu hopes that the conflict between our two countries will stop, which is very beneficial for both of us! Firas tried to persuade him. There is no doubt that the Sultanate of Sulu is now at an absolute disadvantage, and if it cannot be understood by the new state, the country will cease to exist. And they, the ministers, will also become slaves to the country. Their fate has been tied to the Sultanate of Sulu, one with glory and one with loss!

"Humph! You have the right to start a war! But the right to end the war is in my hands! Long Yufei said coldly. Sultan Suleiman of the Sultanate of Sulu was so arrogant that he dared to warn Xinhua about its actions in Mindanao, which made Long Yufei very dissatisfied. Originally, it was all planned to deal with the Sulu Sultanate after a while. Since Sultan Suleiman is looking for death himself, then simply get rid of them all at once!

"This, Your Majesty the King, this time the conflict between our two countries, our country is really unintentional! For the losses caused to your country, our country is also willing to make compensation, as long as we can end the war and avoid causing human suffering, everything is easy to say! Firas was covered in cold sweat on his forehead. Long Yufei's tough attitude made him very anxious.

"Oh? Indemnify? What kind of compensation are you prepared to give? Long Yufei raised his eyebrows and asked. Didn't the destruction of the Sultanate of Sulu be the result of the wealth they had accumulated over the centuries?

Seeing that Long Yufei finally relented, Filas was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty the King!" As long as your country can withdraw its troops, we are willing to compensate your country with 200 kilograms of gold! Plus 20 other gems of various colors! The Sultanate of Sulu promised that it would not be an enemy of Xinhua in the future! ”

"Two hundred kilograms of gold? Are you calling Hanako? Long Yufei said with some displeasure. When the Sultanate of Maguindanao was destroyed, the Xinhua Kingdom obtained more than two million Chinese dollars worth of booty! Two hundred kilograms of gold are worth only 100,000 Chinese dollars. This little money is no longer in Long Yufei's eyes! Although I don't know how much wealth the Sulu Sultanate has accumulated, it must be much more than the Maguindanao Sultanate! Wanting to send Xinhua away with 200 kilograms of gold and a few precious stones is simply wishful thinking!

"This, Your Majesty the King, we can discuss the specific amount of compensation!" Firas said hurriedly.

"I don't have time to talk to you about it! Go back and tell Suleiman. If you want us to withdraw from the army, this is not impossible! Ten tons of gold to us! We're going to withdraw our troops right now! Otherwise, wait for my army to level your palace and destroy your country. Long Yufei said directly.

"What? Ten tons of gold? How is this possible? Where do we have so much gold? Filas stammered, as if he was frightened by Long Yufei's lion mouth!

"Didn't you? It doesn't matter if you don't have so much gold, you can replace it with other gemstones! As long as the total value reaches ten tons of gold, it will be fine! Long Yufei squinted his eyes and said. He believed that ten tons of gold was a lot, but the Sultanate of Sulu could definitely afford it. They dominated the Sulu Sea for hundreds of years, and there were many gold mines in the territory they controlled. Coupled with the fact that the foreign trade of the Sultanate of Sulu was developed, the profits they have made over the years are definitely astronomical. Ten tons of gold is converted into pounds, which is only 1.36 million pounds, which is equivalent to more than 5 million Chinese dollars.

"Your Majesty, we really can't come up with so much money!" Firas said with a pitiful face.

"Don't waste time here! You only have an hour to spare! After an hour, if you don't see gold, my army will go on the offensive! Long Yufei waved his hand, as if he was driving away flies.

Firas had no choice but to leave. He could see that Long Yufei would not give up if he didn't achieve his goal. Whether the Sultanate of Sulu had ten tons of gold or not, Filas did not know. However, as Minister in charge of foreign trade, he was well aware of the financial resources of the Sultanate of Sulu. Even if there are no ten tons of gold, if you add up the other treasures, I am afraid that it is far more than ten tons of gold. It's just that the Sultan of Suleiman would have promised to pay ten tons of gold in compensation? This is obviously impossible!

Upon his return to Holo, Firas immediately reported the negotiations to Sultan Suleiman. As expected, Sultan Suleiman was furious on the spot!

"O Allah! Those greedy Chinese, they will go to hell! Ten tons of gold, they dare to open this mouth too! Tell them, don't say it's ten tons of gold, even a kilogram of gold, we won't give it to them! Sultan Suleiman said angrily. If he could pay a little price, he could let the Xinhua army retreat, of course he was willing. If he had to pay so much price, he would definitely not agree! Others don't know how much wealth the Sulu Sultanate has, but as a sultan, can he not know? Over the past few hundred years, the total wealth accumulated by the Sultanate of Sulu is only about fifteen or sixteen tons of gold. And that's all the riches, including gold and all kinds of pearls and gemstones all together!

"Your Majesty! If we don't compensate, those Chinese won't quit! Will we be able to fend off their attacks? Filas asked. His meaning is very obvious, if Xinhua does not withdraw its troops, it is very likely that the Sulu Sultanate will not perish, and at that time, even the country will be gone, and all the wealth will naturally be taken away by Xinhua.

"General Basel, will our army be able to withstand the attack of the Chinese?" Sultan Suleiman looked hopefully at the army commander, General Basel.

"Your Majesty, the army will do its best to protect Your Majesty and the country!" Basel did not answer this question positively! The strength of the Xinhua Army has far exceeded his expectations! Now, the Xinhua army has occupied a significant part of the port area, and the army of the Sulu Sultanate has been forced to retreat to the city. If it weren't for the suspension of the attack by the Xinhua Army, maybe the Xinhua Army would have invaded the city by now!

Suleiman was somewhat disappointed by Basel's answer. However, he didn't give up there!

"Although the Chinese are strong, we Sulu people are not so easy to bully! Allah the Great will bless us! Suleiman said stubbornly!

"Your Majesty, the minister has a way, maybe he can resist the attack of the Xinhua army!" An elderly Sulu man with a somewhat short stature suddenly said!

"Oh? Zabier, what's the solution? As long as it can repel the attack of the Xinhua Army, this is a great achievement! Suleiman said with some delight.

"Your Majesty! Xinhuaguo is a country founded by the Chinese. In our Sulu Sultanate, there are also many Chinese. Even on Holo Island, there are thousands of Chinese! Since the attack of the Xinhua Army is so fierce, we can completely arrest those Chinese and send them to the front line! If the Xinhua Army continues to fire, the first to kill will be their compatriots! I think that's going to make them scruple! Zabil said with a wicked smile.

"Your Majesty! This is a good method, let those Chinese people be at the front! If the Chinese shoot, their compatriots will be the first to be killed! If they don't shoot, we can take the opportunity to get closer to them! Once they get close to them, then their firearms advantage is gone! Then we can defeat them! Maybe there's a chance to capture their king! General Basel also said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, isn't this way a little too shameless! Allah teaches us to defeat our enemies in the open! Firas said worriedly.

"We had no choice but to do it! Everything is harmed by those damned Chinese, and Allah will forgive us! Sultan Suleiman said through gritted teeth. Clearly, he had decided to take Zabil's advice.

The footprints of the Chinese are all over the South Seas, and there are also some Chinese in the territory of the Sulu Sultanate. It's just that the total population is not much, only more than 20,000 people! Most of these Chinese live in Borneo, and there are only about 1,000 Chinese on the island of Jolo. They are mainly the owners and associates of the shops opened by the Chinese on the island of Holo, as well as their families, and so on.

Under the orders of Sultan Suleiman, the troops of the Sultanate of Sulu were dispatched, and they stormed the shops and homes of the Chinese, arrested the Chinese unjustifiably, and robbed them of their property by the way. Some young and beautiful Chinese women were also poisoned by these Sulu people.

"Bastard, what are you going to do?" A young Chinese man pushed away a Sulu soldier who had robbed their shop and shouted loudly.

"Despicable Chinese! His Majesty the Sultan has issued an order to arrest you all! The Sulu officer who led the team shouted loudly!

More than 1,000 Chinese were not many for the large number of troops of the Sultanate of Sulu, and they were quickly captured. During this period, many Chinese who resisted were beaten to the head and bled out, and several Chinese directly lost their lives. When the troops of the Sulu Sultanate captured these Chinese, the nearby Sulu people came to watch, and when they saw those Chinese being bullied, they applauded. The wealth of the Chinese has also aroused the hatred of these Sulu people, and now that the Chinese are unlucky, they are naturally happy!

The soldiers of the Sultanate of Sulu, escorting the faltering Chinese, came to the port area. Sultan Suleiman has been waiting here for a long time!

"Bring these lowly Chinese to the port! Force the new Chinese army to retreat! Suleiman Sultan ordered!
