Four brigades of the Xinhua Army, escorted by the navy, crossed the Java Sea and landed on the islands of Sumatra and Java. Although there were still about 8,000 Dutch troops on these two islands, it was only the case that the governor of Dutch Indonesia, Jacques Murphy, was still in the Dutch Indonesian army. With Dominica detained by the Xinhua Army and Army Commander Lieutenant General de Boer also captured by the Xinhua Army, these armies were simply unable to form a strong counterattack in the face of the powerful Xinhua Army. Most of the Dutch Army, in desperation, surrendered to the Xinhua Army.

The Dutch living in these areas have also begun to evacuate the area. It's just that their industries are all here, and it's almost impossible to sell them in a short period of time. This delay deprived them of the opportunity to escape. There were 50,000 or 60,000 Dutch people living in Dutch Indonesia, but only a very small number of them fled to Singapore in time, and most of them were captured by the Xinhua army. Of course, these people are civilians, and the Xinhua Army will not do anything to them. It's just that all their property will definitely be confiscated by the Xinhua Army!

At the same time, the three infantry brigades remaining in Borneo also began to attack the rest of Borneo, and the 4th Brigade of the Xinhua Army also attacked west from East Borneo. Wherever the armies went, indigenous nations or tribes were exterminated. Those who dared to resist were all killed, and the rest. They all became slaves of the Xinhua Army! After the territory of Xinhua has increased so much, a lot of investment is also needed in terms of infrastructure construction, and the population of Xinhua is not large, and in terms of labor, these slaves can only be used on a large scale!

The Xinhua army continued to advance and bring these territories under the rule of the Xinhua State! Xinhua took advantage of this war. It has become the most powerful strength in Nanyang! The entire archipelago of the South Seas, except for the British Straits Settlements, does not care about Xinhua State, other places. It's gradually falling! The Sultanate of Brunei, in northern Borneo, also became the next target of the new Chinese state. Although, the Sultan of Brunei sent people to Manila as soon as possible to congratulate Xinhua on its great victory. It even showed the desire of the Sultanate of Brunei to submit to the new Chinese state. But. This will still not change the fate of the Sultanate of Brunei. Long Yufei doesn't need a vassal country like a wallgrass, what he needs is a territory that he really controls. The Sultanate of Brunei can now submit to Xinhua, but once Xinhua is defeated in a foreign war, they will also betray Xinhua as soon as possible! In order to avoid such a thing, Long Yufei planned to completely destroy the Sultanate of Brunei. Now the Xinhua Army has 4 infantry brigades and an artillery brigade in Borneo, and a 13th infantry brigade is being formed. It's not a problem. It's just that Xinhuaguo still needs an excuse now!

Two months later. The Xinhua Army had almost occupied the territory of the former Dutch-Indonesian colonial authorities. The territory of Xinhua has pocketed most of the South Seas. Although there are still many indigenous forces in these territories that are not subject to the Xinhua State, as the Xinhua Army gradually advances into these areas, these territories will soon become the real territory of the Xinhua State.

Because of the sparse population, there are almost no Chinese on the islands of Java and Sumatra. For this reason, Xinhua ordered the temporary military administration of the two islands. A large number of natives were captured by the Xinhua army and used for mining and farming, which not only allowed the Xinhua to temporarily control these territories, but also to obtain a large amount of economic benefits. At the very least, the military spending of the four brigades of the Xinhua Army stationed on these two islands has been settled, and at the same time, it can also increase a lot of income for the Xinhua Army.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Xinhua Army has been in the midst of the southern expedition and the northern war, and the military expenditure has always been high! The industry and commerce of the new China were not very developed, the tax revenue was not much, and the huge military expenditure was often supported by the seizure of the forces that eliminated the hostile forces. In the previous wars, whether it was the destruction of the Moro Sultanate, especially the Sulu Sultanate, a large amount of funds were obtained, and then the capture of Luzon also collected a lot of funds from the Spaniards, which were the guarantee to support the rapid development of the Xinhua State and the Xinhua Army! Now that the Xinhua Army has occupied Borneo and the Dutch Indonesian colonial authorities, it will also gain huge benefits for the Xinhua Army.

On September 12, 1838, the generals of the Xinhua Army returned to Manila to report the situation of the war to King Long Yufei. Long Yufei led the Xinhua officials who stayed in Manila to personally greet these victorious generals at the dock.

When the cruiser 'Xinhua' leaned on the pier, the generals of the battle stood on the bow of the ship. Each of them was in high spirits, and this time the Xinhua Army defeated the alliance between the Spanish Expeditionary Force and the Dutch Indonesian colonial authorities, opening up and expanding the territory of the kingdom, and everyone made great contributions!

"See Your Majesty, the ministers are fortunate not to be dishonored, and they return victorious!" Under the leadership of Niu Meng, after these generals disembarked, they saluted Long Yu Feifei!

"Everyone's worked hard! On behalf of all the people of Xinhua, thank you! Without your desperate battles, there would be no Xinhua today! Long Yufei also said excitedly. In this war, the Xinhua Army can be said to have achieved a brilliant victory! The territory of Xinhua has been expanded several times, and Xinhua has been sent to the status of the hegemon of the South Seas!

Countless people also spontaneously came to the dock to greet these brave soldiers! The huge victory has made the people more identified with Xinhuaguo, and the national self-confidence and self-esteem are also growing rapidly!

"It's all the leaders of His Majesty, I don't dare to take credit!" Niu Meng said modestly.

After that, Long Yufei led these generals back to the palace from the dock. Along the way, he was warmly welcomed by countless people of the kingdom. It was only a few kilometers from the dock to the palace, but it took two hours to walk, which shows how passionate the people of the kingdom were for this victory.

At noon that day, Long Yufei held a banquet in the kingdom to entertain these generals who fought for the country. During the banquet, Long Yufei personally toasted them to express his gratitude to them. A group of high-ranking officials in the Government Council also congratulated the generals. Although civilian officials do not have to go to the battlefield, they cannot achieve military exploits. When a country is just being founded, it is often the easiest to gain military merit because of the constant wars. And military exploits are also an important basis for increasing officials and becoming knights. Although Xinhua has not yet established a complete set of official systems, with the development of Xinhua Kingdom, there will definitely be these things. When the time comes, these generals will definitely be able to get the eye-catching knighthood!

Because there was a pre-imperial meeting in the afternoon, the generals did not drink heartily. Otherwise, everyone will be drunk, and there will be no way to hold the Imperial Council!

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the imperial meeting began, mainly to report to Long Yufei the results of this battle, their own casualties, and the spoils obtained in the war!

"Your Majesty, in this war, the Xinhua Navy sank a total of 45 warships of the Spanish Expeditionary Fleet and captured 18 warships, including 1 first-class battleship, two second-class battleships, 6 third-class battleships, 3 fourth-class battleships, 4 fifth-class battleships and two sixth-class battleships! Capture one thousand and forty-three enemy soldiers! A total of 7 of our warships were damaged and are being repaired at the shipyard, and the other warships have also been more or less slightly injured and will return to the shipyard for repair in the coming time. In terms of casualties, the Royal Navy lost a total of 46 killed, 189 seriously wounded, and 542 lightly wounded! Niu Meng said to Long Yufei. The Xinhua Army did not know how many people were killed in the Spanish Expeditionary Fleet, because after the battleship of the Spanish Expeditionary Fleet was sunk, these people sank into the sea with the warship.

Long Yufei nodded, compared to the results achieved, the casualties paid by the Xinhua Navy were not large. Not a single battleship was sunk, and this was a great victory. After the shipyard repairs these warships, the strength of the Xinhua Navy will be restored again. Together with the Fourth Fleet, which has already been built, the Xinhua Navy will have a total of 48 'Shark-class' cruisers. When the time comes, there will be no powerful navy in the entire East that can compete with the New Zealand, even the British!

"The bereavement of the dead and seriously wounded soldiers must be arranged! I don't want to drink the blood of a soldier, otherwise I won't spare it! Long Yufei said solemnly. Soldiers who have died in battle, they still have families to live on, and they need help from the state. Those seriously injured soldiers have almost lost their labor force, they have become like this for the country, Long Yufei has the responsibility to take care of them for the rest of his life! Long Yufei absolutely does not want to have a hero's blood and tears in Xinhua!

"Yes, Your Majesty, please rest assured, the minister will personally take care of this matter! If anyone really dares to stretch out his hand on this matter, he doesn't need to do anything under His Majesty, and the minister will personally shoot him! Niu Meng said resolutely. As a former pirate, he couldn't see such a thing. At the beginning, many pirates on Flying Fish Island were killed or seriously injured in the sea robbery, but their families were well cared for, and those seriously injured pirates would not worry about life because of life, which is already the tradition of Flying Fish Island!

Long Yufei nodded reassuringly, however, there are too many Chinese, and it is inevitable that there will be people who have a conscience to eat dogs, so he also plans to arrange for people from the Military Intelligence Bureau and the National Security Intelligence Agency to pay attention to this situation, once someone dares to covet these pensions, he will definitely make these people regret it for the rest of their lives!
