"Founding a nation? Build our own country? Everyone looked at Liu Mingde in surprise. Now there are only more than 50,000 Chinese in Flying Fish City, and even if you add the Chinese in Zamboanga, there are only more than 80,000. With such a small population, can a country be established?

"Uncle Liu, isn't it too early to establish a country now? Why don't we wait until we unify Mindanao? Long Yufei said. Although he established his own country overseas, this point had long been in his plan. However, if the country is established now, it seems too soon. Long Yufei was afraid that if he took too big a step, he would pull the egg!

"Commanders, my lords, it's not too early! Although we have a small population now, we have now unified the Chinese people in the whole of Mindanao. Even if we destroy the two sultanates of the Moro, our population will not increase much. In addition, the unification of Mindanao is no longer a problem for us, it just takes time! Flying Fish Company, after all, is a little too petty. Although there is a Lanfang company in Borneo, their current situation is also very bad, and the main reason is that the infighting is too strong, which disperses the strength of the Chinese in Borneo! If we build a country, we can win the hearts of the people and better unite the Chinese! There are great benefits both internally and externally! Liu Mingde said.

"Control, Lord Liu is very right. It is indeed time for us to establish a country now, and then we can recruit Chinese from other regions to join us in the name of the country! Flying Fish Company, after all, is not right! But if there is a Chinese country of their own, it will be completely different! There are so few Chinese in Mindanao, and if we want to achieve greater development, we have to attract more Chinese to join us! Lin Zihao, who has just joined Flying Fish and is in charge of foreign affairs, also said. He is the second master of the Lin family, he is good at dancing with long sleeves, and he can speak well, and the Flying Fish Company just lacks such a person. Therefore, Long Yufei took the initiative to send him an invitation. Lin Zihao did not hesitate and immediately agreed to be the head of the diplomatic side of Flying Fish. This is also of great benefit to the Lin family of Zamboanga. After all, Lin Zihao can be regarded as entering the top management of Flying Fish Company. Although there are still some unstable foundations, with the support of the Lin family and the Chinese people in Zamboanga, it is not impossible to rise to a high position in the future. Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, the Flying Fish Company must continue to grow and develop, and it will not be half-dead like the current Lanfang Company!

"Uncle Li, what do you see?" Long Yufei looked at Li Decheng, the minister of the Ministry of Political Affairs. He is the old man of Flying Fish Island, and at the same time he is the person in charge of government affairs, and within the Flying Fish Company, he can be regarded as a real power figure second only to Long Yufei.

"Domination! The development of Flying Fish Company to the present is indeed a little inappropriate! If we are to continue to grow and develop, we must build our own country! As Lord Liu and Lord Lin said, although our current population is not large, we are also qualified to establish a country. After all, the Nanyang region is sparsely populated, and the general effect is only tens of thousands! Although our current population is not large, it has more than 80,000 people, which is not too small a country. If we look at it from the point of view of military strength, there is no country in the entire Nanyang region that is our opponent. Therefore, I think we can build a country! Li Decheng said.

"Uncle Zhao, what is your opinion?" Long Yufei looked at Zhao Yi, the logistics support.

"Rule, I agree with the founding of the country! The current system of Flying Fish is indeed a bit out of place, and it should be changed! Zhao Yi also said.

Long Yufei nodded, since everyone agreed, then he would not object. Besides, as they said before, the strength of the current Flying Fish Army is indeed comparable to none of them in the Nanyang region. Of course, it would be even better if the Flying Fish's navy could develop rapidly. When the time comes, the Exocet will truly dominate the South Seas. Now the development of Flying Fish is about to fall into a bottleneck. The total strength of the Flying Fish Army is more than 10,000 people, but this has almost all the Chinese young men in Flying Fish City. Further scaling up is almost unlikely. If you want to continue to develop, you have to absorb more Chinese. For the majority of Chinese, a country must be more reassuring to them than a company!

"Since everyone agrees, let's build a country! However, the determination of the country name, as well as the country's system and government structure, etc., need to be discussed by everyone! Long Yufei said. The founding of the country is not a trivial matter, and it involves a lot of affairs.

"Control, I think the state system can be used now! We will continue to practice the separation of military and political affairs, and the affairs of the military and the government will be handled separately, and the last will be responsible to the commandery! However, under what name it exists, it still needs to be determined by the system! Li Decheng said. Long Yufei is now the commander of the Flying Fish Company, if the country is established, then Long Yufei will become the king, or rather, the emperor in the future.

"Hmmm! On the government side, the Ministry of Government is still responsible. However, I think it would be better to change it to the Government Affairs Yuan, which has departments such as finance, internal affairs, foreign affairs, agriculture, and industry and commerce. The head of the Council of Government is the Prime Minister, and the heads of the following ministries are the Ministers. The Government Council is directly accountable to me! As for the military, just with the current structure! The Exocet will be divided into an army and a navy, with me as commander-in-chief. Long Yufei said. Although he is not a qualified soldier, he is very sober about holding the army firmly in his hands. An old man once said that power comes out of the barrel of a gun, Long Yufei, who was born in New China and grew up under the red flag, will of course carry this point to the end!

Everyone nodded, and there was no objection to Long Yufei's proposal. The Ministry of Government Affairs has become the Government Affairs Yuan, and it seems that the name has changed, and everyone's positions have not changed, but their official positions have changed. However, everyone also knows that the country is still weak now, and when the country grows stronger, their status will also change. Maybe it won't be long before they will be able to act like the real high-ranking officials of a great power!

"As for the choice of country name? What do you think? Long Yufei asked.

"Commandery, or do we call it Da Ming? In order to continue the Ming Dynasty! Liu Mingde proposed.

"We have nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty, so forget it!" Long Yufei shook his head, he is not a descendant of the Zhu family, his name is Daming, it makes no sense at all.

Everyone pondered, racked their brains, and put forward several country names, but they were all vetoed by Long Yufei.

"Or else! The name of the country is directly handed over to Xinhua! It is called Xinhua to the outside world! The army is called the Xinhua Army! If you need to change it later, we'll talk about it later! Long Yufei said.

The crowd did not reject this name. Although they were not very satisfied, since it was proposed by Long Yufei, they could only nod and agree! After all, in the concept of many old people, the country name is one word, and the word "Xinhua" proposed by Long Yufei was somewhat unexpected to them.

The reason why Long Yufei named the new country Xinhua was to make a change with the decaying Manchu Dynasty and hope to establish a new China. It's a big deal that after overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty, just change the name to a domineering one!

Once the country name is established, there is only one problem. After the state is formed, there must be a ruler. There is no doubt that Long Yufei, as the current ruler of the Flying Fish Company, deserves to become the ruler of the new country.

"Rule, the ruler of our new country, is he the king or the emperor directly?" Li Decheng asked.

"Calling the king the emperor? It doesn't seem much of a need, does it? Long Yufei was dumbfounded, he only realized this problem now. After the state is formed, there must be a ruler. And the ruler of Xinhua seems to be none other than him. However, he was just a trick house, and suddenly becoming a king or even an emperor made him a little unsure of what to do.

"Command, of course it's necessary! I think let's be king first! When the country grows stronger in the future, it is not too late to become emperor again! Liu Mingde also said.

The others also persuaded Long Yufei to become king first.

Originally, Long Yufei planned to appoint himself a general or something like that first, anyway, the entire Flying Fish Company and the Xinhua Kingdom established in the future are all up to him, and it doesn't matter whether he wants to be the king or not. But others don't see it that way. In this place in Nanyang, some small forces with only a few thousand people dare to claim the king. The Flying Fish Army is now threatening the entire Mindanao, and is about to unify Mindanao, and Long Yufei will be a king, which is not too much!

So, under the persuasion of everyone, Long Yufei had to agree to be the king of Xinhua. However, he has a requirement, that is, the etiquette of Xinhuaguo must be simple, and the etiquette of kneeling when he sees people is absolutely unaccustomed to him as a modern person. is like those people in the pigtail play, kneeling and kowtowing, one master at a time, it is too spineless!

After establishing the general guidelines for the founding of the country, the Ministry of Government Affairs began to be busy with it. The establishment of a country is not a trivial matter, and it requires complete preparation.

The Chinese did not resist the establishment of Xinhua Kingdom and Long Yufei becoming the king at all, but took it for granted.

A month later, Long Yufei led the military and political dignitaries of the Flying Fish Company, witnessed by tens of thousands of Chinese in Flying Fish City, to worship the heavens and officially announce the establishment of the new Chinese country! Flying Fish City was changed to Xinhua City, as the capital of Xinhua Kingdom! Long Yufei became the king of Xinhuaguo, and Luo Yuhua was the queen of Xinhuaguo!
