"From now on, Xinhuaguo is officially established! The history of the Chinese being oppressed by other nationalities will be gone forever! From now on, Xinhua will ensure the safety of the lives and property of our compatriots! At the founding ceremony of Xinhua China, Long Yufei solemnly promised to the people.

"Long live Your Majesty! Long live Xinhuaguo! The Chinese shouted loudly. The ancestors of these Chinese people all left their homeland and went to Nanyang because they couldn't live in China anymore. In terms of seamanship at the time, it was undoubtedly a journey of life and death. It is conceivable how much courage the ancestors had to come to Nanyang.

For the Chinese, Nanyang is not a happy land. Relying on hard work, the Chinese reclaimed the land in the barren land of the South Seas and reaped a rich harvest. However, this has aroused the covetousness of the local natives. These natives are lazy by nature, and the wealth of the Chinese has caused their pink eye. Instead of creating wealth through labor, they took extreme measures to attack the Chinese by force in order to plunder their wealth. For this reason, there has been a struggle between the Chinese and the local aborigines for hundreds of years. It's just that the sparsely populated Chinese, who are not the opponents of the natives, have always been at a disadvantage. Now, the Xinhua Kingdom has been established, and the predecessor of the Xinhua Army, the Flying Fish Army, has won a decisive victory in the decisive battle with the natives. The Chinese have become the masters of Mindanao, and the Chinese no longer have to worry about being bullied by the natives. The natives who once bullied them have become slaves of the Xinhua Kingdom. They are shackled, doing the hardest and most dangerous work, and this is nothing more than their atonement to the Chinese!

The patriarchs of the major Chinese families in Zamboanga also rushed to Xinhua City to participate in the founding ceremony of the Xinhua Kingdom. The Xinhua Army annihilated 100,000 natives in World War I, which gave these big families a great shock. At this moment, Zamboanga's defense has been taken over by two infantry battalions of the Xinhua Army. According to Long Yufei's instructions, the Xinhua Army will recruit soldiers in Zamboanga and form 4 more infantry battalions. However, the Chinese in Zamboanga did not have much interest in joining the army, and more than a month later, only one infantry battalion was recruited.

Almost all Chinese have great confidence in Xinhuaguo, and everyone is very optimistic about the future of Xinhuaguo. After the establishment of the Xinhua Kingdom, they have all become subjects of the Xinhua Kingdom, and they are all people in the same boat. The stronger the Xinhua Kingdom, the more they will benefit from it. Among other things, the Sultanate of Maguindanao, which had originally coveted Zamboanga, immediately stopped its operations against Zamboanga after learning that the Xinhua Army had wiped out 100,000 indigenous troops in the Battle of Burui. Of course, the Maguindanao Sultanate still covets the wealth of the Chinese in Zamboanga. Whether they will take the next step or not, it's hard to say. However, Zamboanga already belongs to the territory of the Xinhua Kingdom, and if the Maguindanao Sultanate dares to make a move against Zamboanga, the Xinhua Army will definitely not let them go!

"See Your Majesty!" In the royal palace of the new country, the high-level officials of the government and military of the new country bowed down to the dragon and flew to salute, and the patriarchs of the Chinese family of Zamboanga also appeared in the main hall. However, no matter how you look at it, this royal palace is very simple. It's just a yard the size of a second lieutenant. The ground is nothing more than a concrete level. It can be said that this is almost the most humble royal palace in the world. Originally, Premier Li Decheng proposed to build a palace for Long Yufei, but Long Yufei flatly refused. The current financial situation of Xinhua is not very good, except for the mining of gold mines and the plundering of those natives, there is basically no other income. In addition, the Xinhua Army has been expanding its armaments and warfare, and the construction of warships in the navy will start one after another, which will cost too much money. Long Yufei is not a person who is greedy for pleasure, he prefers to spend every penny on the blade.

In addition, although Mindanao is rich in resources, it is too small after all, and the number of Chinese is too small. After accumulating enough strength, Xinhua will begin a new round of expansion. The Luzon Islands in the north are undoubtedly Long Yufei's preferred targets. There are abundant resources there, and there are more than 200,000 Chinese at the same time. The military strength of the Spaniards in Luzon was not strong, and in a year or so, Xinhua would have the strength to defeat the Spanish army in Luzon. When the time comes, the entire Luzon Islands will be brought under the rule of the Xinhua Kingdom, and the capital of the Xinhua Kingdom will also be moved from Xinhua City to Manila. There is the Viceroyalty's Palace, which was left behind by the Spanish Governor's Palace, and the palatial Governor's Palace, which was used as a royal palace, was completely sufficient. This is undoubtedly a great thing that kills two birds with one stone. Therefore, there is no need to waste money on building a palace in Xinhua City.

"Let's get even!" Long Yufei has just become the king, and he is still a little uncomfortable!

"Your Majesty! The Chinese people of Zamboanga specially sent congratulatory gifts to congratulate His Majesty on the establishment of the New China Kingdom. Premier Li Decheng presented a gift list.

Long Yufei took it and was immediately satisfied. These Chinese families in Zamboanga are still relatively acquainted, and the gift sent this time made Long Yufei very satisfied. The two hundred kilograms of gold and twenty pearls alone were worth a fortune. There are also twenty Chinese girls, which Long Yufei wants to refuse. However, when he thought that there were no other servants in the palace, he simply accepted it and handed it all over to Queen Luo Yuhua to deal with. Long Yufei can be sure that among these Chinese girls, there must be people from major families, maybe they are concubines, if Long Yufei can value their daughters, then they will have a relationship with the royal family. Of course, the current Xinhua royal family, just Long Yufei and the two of them, are too thin.

"You've got a heart!" Long Yufei said to the patriarchs of several major families.

"Your Majesty, these are what we should do! After the Xinhua army entered Zamboanga, the Maguindanao Sultanate had stopped pressing on us step by step. It is estimated that they were frightened by the prestige of the Xinhua Army! Lin Zifeng, the mayor of Zamboanga City and the patriarch of the Lin family, said.

Although Xinhua has become a country, there are actually only two cities, one is the newly established Xinhua City, and the other is Zamboanga City. As the mayor of Zamboanga City, Lin Zifeng can be regarded as a high-status official in the Xinhua government!

"Zamboanga has become the territory of my new country! If the Maguindanao Sultanate dares to attack Zamboanga, it will be a provocation to the new country! This will bring them the destruction of the country! Long Yufei said. The current Xinhua Army already has the strength to destroy the Maguindanao Sultanate. It's just that the Maguindanao Sultanate is on the other side, and if the Xinhua army wants to attack the Maguindanao Sultanate, it has to pass through the vast primeval forest. If that was the case, the damage caused in the process of crossing the forest would definitely be enough to make Long Yufei's flesh hurt. Therefore, to launch an attack on the Maguindanao Sultanate, it will have to wait until the navy of the Xinhua Army is formed. When the time comes, the navy escorts the army and directly attacks the capital of the Maguindanao Sultanate and destroys them in one fell swoop!

"The national prestige of my new country, naturally it is not something that those Moro people dare to provoke!" The other ministers said one after another. After the first battle of Wurui, everyone had great confidence in the military strength of Xinhuaguo. That's a good thing! The Chinese were bullied so hard before, and they need to rebuild their self-confidence!

"Your Majesty, the reorganization of the Xinhua Army has begun! The army will form three brigades, of which the first brigade and the second brigade will be stationed in Xinhua City, and continue to maintain the operation against the natives! The 3rd Brigade was stationed in Zamboanga. The soldiers who are missing are also being recruited! On the Navy side, the construction progress of the first two Shark-class cruisers has improved considerably, and it is expected to be completed in another two months! Zhao Yi said to Long Yufei! Zhao Yi is the person in charge of the logistics department of the Xinhua Army, and to a certain extent, he is also responsible for what the chief of the general staff should do. Long Yufei did not have a suitable candidate for the chief of the general staff for a while, so he could only be concurrently led by Zhao Yi first. With Zhao Yi's qualifications, no one in the Xinhua Army dared to oppose it. However, this is not a long-term solution. Long Yufei still has to choose a chief of general staff as soon as possible to assist him in handling military affairs!

"The 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade of the Army, while reorganizing, are purging the natives! We need more slaves! As for the 3rd Brigade, it remained in Zamboanga and was responsible for dealing with the threat of the Maguindanao Sultanate! On the naval side, the construction of the next ten 'Shark-class' cruisers can begin. We need to speed it up! Long Yufei said. The 1st and 2nd Brigades of the Army have almost been recruited. But the third brigade will have to wait a little longer.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhao Yi nodded, these are all plans that have already been drawn up, and they only need to be implemented according to the plan!

"The kingdom has just been established, everything is complicated, and you still need to work together!" Long Yufei said.

"The ministers will do their best!" Everyone replied.

"Prime Minister, the affairs of government affairs will be handed over to your Government Council! We need to further develop the industry and expand the current industrial scale! At the same time, commerce and agriculture need to be developed. In addition, we are now sparsely populated, but there are still a large number of Chinese in the whole Nanyang region who are in dire straits, and I hope to attract more Chinese to come to Mindanao and join the new country! This should be done as the most important thing! Long Yufei admonished. The demographic factor has become a bottleneck in the development of Xinhua, and without enough people, everything is empty talk!
