"Xinhua China is a country founded by the Chinese, and our main purpose is to change the miserable situation of the Chinese in the Nanyang region. From now on, whether it is a local aboriginal or a foreigner, don't think about bullying us Chinese anymore! Now, the Sultanate of Sulu no longer exists! All its territory will be taken over by our Xinhua Kingdom, and the Chinese will become the masters of this territory! Long Yufei met with the Chinese representatives in the Sulu Sultanate at the royal palace of the Sulu Sultanate. It was already April 16, 1837, and the troops of the Xinhua Army had landed in the territory of the Sulu Sultanate in northeastern Borneo by boat, and with the support of the local Chinese, they had initially established their rule over the region. It's just that there are still a lot of Sulu people who are stubbornly resisting, and the Xinhua army will attack them for a long time to destroy these enemies!

There are more than 20,000 Chinese in the Sultanate of Sulu, most of whom live in northeastern Borneo. These Chinese, relying on hard work, have earned a prosperous life, but their status is not high, and they also bring trouble to them because of the wealth they hold. The local natives often find all kinds of reasons to bully them, ranging from scattering wealth to avoid disasters, or ruining their families. Therefore, after the destruction of the Sulu Sultanate by the Xinhua Army, these Chinese finally raised their eyebrows. Knowing that Long Yufei, the king of Xinhua, had summoned the representatives of the Chinese in Huoluo, these famous people were even more glad to go!

"Your Majesty! Everything about the Xinhua Military Institute made us Chinese very moved! From now on, we Chinese will all be members of the Xinhua Kingdom! We will fully support Xinhuaguo! An old man with gray hair said. He was the head of the Sendakan Chinese family, the Cheong family, one of the large Chinese families in northeastern Borneo with several large plantations and mines.

"That's good! All Chinese people in the world are one family! Only when we unite can we compete with the natives and foreigners! Long Yufei said with a smile. With the support of these natives, the rule of the Xinhua Kingdom in eastern Borneo was stable.

"Your Majesty! Wherever the army passed, the Sulu people had been reduced to slavery! I don't know what your majesty plans to do with their property? A middle-aged Chinese man with a somewhat fat body asked. He is fat and has small eyes, but his two eyes seem to be very energetic. His surname is Wu, his name is Wu Xiong, and he is the head of the Wu family. In eastern Borneo, the Wu family is also a big family that is not as fast as the Zhang family.

"Master Wu! The wealth of the Sulu people is now all owned by the kingdom! However, the kingdom did not have the energy to take care of these properties. Therefore, in the future, the government will come forward to sell all those properties! In order to make up for the losses of the Chinese over the years, these properties will all be sold at half price! You can go back and raise the funds, and in two months the properties will be up for sale! Long Yufei said. The Sultanate of Sulu attaches great importance to the development of commerce, and there are many shops, workshops and mines and plantations throughout the country. Now these things have become the trophies of the Xinhua Army. It's just that Xinhuaguo basically won't meddle in business except for heavy industry. These industries can only be sold to others at a low price to operate, and Xinhua can collect taxes!

The Chinese delegates present were overjoyed one by one. There is no doubt that this will be a feast for them to share wealth! Of course, this is also a great thing for Xinhuaguo, which can sell the properties of those Sulu people who were originally book friends, so as to exchange for a large amount of money to be used elsewhere. Although in this war, Xinhua has gained a lot. However, no one is afraid of money.

"Everyone! The 4th Infantry Brigade of the Xinhua Army began to be formed, and the main soldiers were to be recruited from among the Chinese children of the Sulu Sultanate. I hope that when you return, you will be able to mobilize the children of the heads of each family to join the army! This is not only to defend our new country, but also to defend all Chinese! Long Yufei said. The Fourth Brigade is in the process of being formed, and although there are many Chinese children joining the army, it is still far from being full.

Long Yufei's request made these Chinese representatives hesitate. Joining the army means going to war, and fighting a war is bound to kill people. Chinese people always have a heartfelt resistance to being a soldier.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why the Chinese are bullied by the natives and foreigners in the Nanyang area is because we don't have guns in our hands! The scattered Chinese can't fight the natives and foreigners! Xinhuaguo hopes that everyone can be united. Only in this way will the Chinese in Nanyang really stand up! Long Yufei said solemnly. Overseas Chinese, many people have a kind of distress that they are safe when they are rich, and they have no sense of crisis. We must change this concept of theirs, and let the Chinese people advocate force and continue to forge ahead with the outside world!

"Since His Majesty has already said so, the old man will not shirk it anymore! Mobilizing the children of various families to join the army is also very beneficial to ourselves! Your Majesty, please rest assured, when I get back, I will do my best to promote this matter! Zhang Chengyuan was the first to agree with Long Yufei's words.

Subsequently, other Chinese representatives also expressed their support for the expansion of the Xinhua Army. Everyone's statement made Long Yufei very satisfied! In this case, the 4th Brigade will be able to recruit all the soldiers it needs soon. In the final analysis, it is because the population of Xinhua is too small. The total number of Chinese in Mindanao and the Sultanate of Sulu combined is only about 100,000. If the Xinhua Kingdom and the Xinhua Army want to expand further, they still need more population support. After digesting the benefits of this war, Xinhua will start a new round of expansion, attacking the Spaniards' Luzon Islands to the north, or Borneo to the west, both of which are completely feasible, with a lot of resources and Chinese!

Next, Long Yufei and the Chinese representatives had a very happy conversation. Everyone said one after another that they would definitely support the rule of Xinhuaguo. After Xinhua destroyed the Sultanate of Sulu, it was a great thing for these Chinese. In addition, Long Yufei also said that the Sulu slaves captured by the Xinhua army could also be sold to them at a low price. Of the hundreds of thousands of people in the Sultanate of Sulu, only a handful were killed in the fighting, and the rest were basically slaves of the Xinhua army. Aside from the old and the young, there were more than 200,000 young and middle-aged slaves. In addition to the use of Xinhua itself, there are still a lot of these slaves left, which can be sold to the Chinese to further enhance the strength of these Chinese. This is very beneficial for the expansion of Xinhua to Borneo in the future.

At this time, Li Hu, the chief of the guard, walked in with a serious face. He whispered a few words in Long Yufei's ear. Long Yufei was slightly stunned, but his face did not change at all!

"Guys, let's talk about it today! I have other things to attend to! Long Yufei said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" These Chinese representatives are not people without vision, and they know that Long Yufei has something important to deal with, so they have retired. This time they met Long Yufei, and they had already gained a lot. The next step is to rush back to raise funds, so that when the new Chinese country sells those Sulu properties, they can buy more properties to expand their respective strengths!

After Li Kai, the Chinese representatives, Long Yufei's face changed suddenly.

"Damn, what the hell is going on? How could the Spaniards know that we had robbed them of their gold? Long Yufei said with some annoyance.

"Your Majesty! According to what we received from Antonio, some of the survivors of the Spanish Navy from the previous operation returned to Manila. At first, Governor Anthony Pedro thought it was the work of the Manchus. However, at the time of our attack on Holo, there were Spanish merchants here. They saw our 'Shark-class' cruiser and reported it to Governor Anthony Pedro! The Spaniards, after investigation, decided that we had robbed them of their gold! The Luzon fleet of the Spanish Navy has already departed from Manila! He was accompanied by several thousand Spanish Army soldiers! Li Hu said. Obviously, these Spaniards are not good, and they are obviously coming for Xinhua!

"How many days have those Spaniards been on their way?" Long Yufei asked.

"They left Manila three days ago!" Li Hu said.

"Order the First Fleet, prepare to set sail, and rush back to Xinhua City at full speed. The 1st and 2nd Brigades of the Army all boarded the ship and returned to Xinhua City! Long Yufei ordered. Xinhua City is the old nest of Xinhua State, where all heavy industries, especially military industries, are concentrated. In the shipyard, there are also twelve 'Shark-class' cruisers under construction, and if they are destroyed by the Spaniards, the new Chinese country will be severely damaged.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Hu hurriedly went out to give the order.

"Hopefully, it's still too late!" Long Yufei said secretly. Manila is thousands of kilometers away from Xinhua City, and it will take at least four to five days for the Spanish fleet to reach Xinhua City. Holo is only more than 500 kilometers away from Xinhua City, and if you sail at full speed, it only takes more than two days and less than three days to arrive. Therefore, if you are lucky, the First Fleet will arrive when the Spanish fleet has just arrived in Xinhua City. With the strength of the First Fleet of the Xinhua Navy, there was no need to be afraid of the Luzon fleet of the Spanish Navy. In the battle a few months ago, the cruiser "Xinhua" and the cruiser "Zamboanga" successfully sank the battleship "Manila" and the cruiser "Warrior" of the Spanish Navy, which has fully proved the combat effectiveness of the "Shark class" cruiser of the Xinhua Navy!

Two hours later, the First Fleet of the Xinhua Navy and the First Brigade and the Second Brigade of the Army set off from Holo and rushed back to Xinhua City!
