Conquering Kuching in half an hour and destroying the Brooke dynasty was nothing to the Xinhua army. This battle, at best, can only be regarded as another battle with a group of recruits. Poor James. Brooke, the dynasty he founded, was destroyed after only one day of existence! The Brooke dynasty in history, but it existed until 1947!

"Did you catch the king?" Zhang Wei, commander of the 1st Brigade of the Xinhua Army, asked. He was a little interested in this whimsical Englishman. If it were someone else, I would never have imagined that I would be able to take advantage of the indigenous rebellion in Sarawak and take the opportunity to build a country of my own! If it weren't for the fact that Xinhua had become strong and had great ambitions for the Sultanate of Brunei, he would have really succeeded!

"Brigadier Commander, we found James. Brooke is up! However, he is already a corpse! Major Liu Zhongming reported to Brigadier General Zhang Wei.

"Corpses? Was it suicide or did we kill it? Brigadier General Zhang Wei asked.

"Brigade commander, that kid is so unlucky, he should have been hit by a stray bullet! I was shot in the neck, and my trachea was cut off by a bullet! Liu Zhongming reported. Before Brigadier General Zhang Wei asked to be caught alive, but no one thought that James. Is Brooke so unlucky?

"Stray bullets? That's bad luck indeed! However, give me a unified voice! Let's just say James. Brooke couldn't stand the blow because the country was destroyed. So commit suicide! Zhang Wei casually made up a reason.

"But general, what about the corpse?" Liu Zhongming asked. No one commits suicide by shooting themselves in the neck, for this reason. It's so unreliable!

"Just dig a pit and bury it! This hellish place in the South Seas, the weather is so hot, if these corpses are not disposed of as soon as possible, there will be a plague! Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, do it beautifully! Brigadier General Zhang Wei commanded.

Although, Brigadier General Zhang Wei seems to be acting against James. Brooke's death doesn't matter. But for the sake of prudence, he still had people immediately report what happened here to the General Staff! So as not to cause trouble and make Xinhuaguo scramble. After all. The British established a state in Sarawak, which is simply impossible if the British government, or indeed the Straits Settlements, knew about it! Now the country has been wiped out by the Xinhua Army. Even the king was killed by the Xinhua army. The British are definitely going to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble! Of course, Xinhuaguo may not be afraid of them!

The Brooke dynasty was destroyed, the king of the Sultanate of Brunei also surrendered, and as for those natives, they were even more afraid of being killed by the Xinhua army armed to the teeth! The entire Sultanate of Brunei has fallen under the control of the Xinhua Kingdom!

On October 3, the battle report of the 4th Brigade of the Xinhua Army was first sent to the General Staff. Although the gold-carrying 'Shark-class' cruiser was still on the way, Niu Meng, chief of the General Staff, had already happily told Long Yufei the good news!

"Your Majesty! The 4th Brigade has taken control of Bandar Seri Bega. Sultan Omar Ali Saifuftin II of the Sultanate of Brunei has surrendered to us, what to do with this guy. I have to make a decision! In addition, the treasure trove of the Sultanate of Brunei has been found, and the navy is transporting it home! Niu Meng said with a smile on his face.

"So fast? The sultan of the Sultanate of Brunei is too soft, right? By the way, have you counted the treasury of the Sultanate of Brunei? They ruled northern Borneo for hundreds of years, and the wealth they have accumulated is certainly not a small amount! Long Yufei was also very excited. The easiest thing to get rich is to raid your family and exterminate your family. Although, it's all a one-shot deal. But the wealth brought by doing a sum is completely astronomical for Xinhuaguo! Xinhua now needs money everywhere, and being able to get a windfall subsidy can also make Xinhuaguo's development better!

"Your Majesty, the wealth of the Sultanate of Brunei is truly astonishing! There are as many as 100 tons of gold from the treasury alone! Including the other jewels, the total value is at least 80 million Chinese dollars! At this time, we have money for the construction of the country and the army! Niu Meng said with a smile. 80 million Chinese dollars, and the 'shark-class' cruiser is only 60,000 Chinese dollars!

"Eighty million Chinese dollars? Twenty million pounds? Oh, my God! How do you spend all this money? Long Yufei also opened his mouth wide. Happiness came so suddenly that he was a little incredulous.

"Your Majesty, the two 'Shark-class' cruisers transporting these treasures are on their way back, and they are expected to reach Manila tomorrow!" Niu Meng explained.

Long Yufei nodded excitedly, his performance at this time was no different from a poor man suddenly winning the lottery. All along, Xinhuaguo has been living a hard life. Despite every foreign war, Xinhua has gained a lot! However, for the sake of the country's development, the high-level leaders of Xinhuaguo, including Long Yufei, are saving money and spending all their money on the blade in order to make the country strong! Long Yufei also wants to live a life of fine clothes and fine food, but the dream in his heart has always inspired him!

"Come, bring in the Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers, and let everyone know the good news!" Long Yufei said excitedly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Hu, the chief of the guard, hurriedly sent someone to the cabinet to invite all the cabinet ministers.

In less than ten minutes, the cabinet ministers, led by Prime Minister Li Decheng, arrived at the palace. The cabinet of the new Chinese kingdom was built on the street not far from the palace. Because Xinhuaguo is not big now, there are not many government officials, and a large courtyard, with three three-story buildings in the courtyard, can accommodate the entire cabinet! Of course, as the land area of Xinhua continues to expand and the population increases, the number of officials will also increase. When the time comes, the Prime Minister's Office will be built bigger and bigger!

"Congratulations, congratulations! The soldiers have expanded the kingdom again! Everyone congratulated Long Yufei one after another. On the way here, they had already received news that the Xinhua Kingdom had destroyed the Sultanate of Brunei and removed 80 million Chinese dollars worth of treasures from the treasury of the Sultanate of Brunei. This is a timely rain for the Xinhua government, which is anxious about money!

"Ha Lu Ha! Rejoice, rejoice! Now, the entire South Sea Islands, apart from the Straits Settlements of the British, have no other power! It's worth celebrating! On the part of the government, inform the people of this good news! Let everyone be happy too! Long Yufei said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Li Decheng nodded.

But then he began to care about the use of the loot!

"Your Majesty, we have seized so much wealth from the Sultanate of Brunei, how do you plan to use it?" Li Decheng asked directly.

"Your Majesty, if it's still like last time, the military and the government will each get half!" Niu Meng said first. Even if it is divided equally, 40 million Chinese dollars is a considerable amount of money for the military!

"No! The last 20 million was enough for the military! This money has to be arranged by the government! Chancellor of the Exchequer Liu Mingde was the first to jump out.

Subsequently, many ministers in the cabinet jumped out and cried poverty. Departments such as industry, transportation, agriculture and education all demanded increased funding, which gave Long Yufei a headache.

In the end, after Long Yufei's coordination, 20 million Chinese dollars of the 80 million indemnity were used as military expenses for the military. The remaining 60 million, 50 million will be arranged by the government, and the remaining 10 million will be in charge of Long Yufei. This distribution plan made everyone happy! Among them, the 10 million Chinese yuan demanded by Long Yufei was not used for luxury and waste. Long Yufei has presided over a lot of research, including mechanics, power, and communications. Subject to the influence of science and technology in this era, as well as the lack of talents, the research in these aspects has not made much progress so far, but it has cost a lot of money. This time, the 10 million Chinese dollars that Long Yufei asked for were ready to spend on it!

The next day, the battle report sent back by Zhang Wei, commander of the 1st Brigade of the Xinhua Army, was also sent to the General Staff Headquarters. The 1st Brigade and the 13th Brigade of the Xinhua Army swept through the entire western part of the Sultanate of Brunei, which did not surprise everyone! However, the Brooke dynasty that suddenly appeared surprised everyone!

Long Yufei knew what was going on with this Brooke Dynasty, he originally thought that if history had changed, this Brooke Dynasty would not appear! But unexpectedly, it eventually appeared. However, it only existed for one day before being wiped out by the Xinhua Army, which surprised him! The Brooke dynasty was destroyed by the Xinhua army, and even King James Brown. Brooke also died at the hands of the Xinhua Army, and it was clear that the British would not rest on their laurels. However, Long Yufei was not afraid. Although Xinhua did not want to provoke the British, why didn't the British do this? Moreover, this time Xinhua has received a large amount of money, and it will begin to develop rapidly. At that time, even if the British went on an expedition to the South Seas, Xinhua would not necessarily be afraid of them!

Long Yufei instructed the Xinhua Army to keep the affairs of the Brooke Dynasty secret and not to leak it. If the British don't take the initiative to ask, they will pretend that they don't know anything! Of course, this is very unlikely. When the British asked, they were trying to figure out a way to solve it!

On November 7, the British special envoy of the Straits Settlements in Manila, Eric, asked to meet with Lin Zihao, the foreign minister of Xinhua, and his main intention was to protest to Xinhua about the destruction of the Brooke Dynasty by the Xinhua army and the killing of a large number of Britons by the Xinhua army, and to demand that Xinhua severely punish the murderers and compensate the British!

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary! Your Excellency the Governor is very concerned about what is happening in Kuching! And, on behalf of the United Kingdom, let me express my most solemn protest to your country! Envoy Eric said with a grim face! (To be continued......)
