Italy itself is developing, and of course Borneo as a colony is developing. Although Viceroy Antonio is not known for his economy, the good foundation left by the first Governor Cayroli is still there, coupled with the current good world economy and strong Borneo exports, which makes the economy of Italian Borneo thriving.

Compared with the next-door neighbor Dutch Borneo, it is simply a heaven and an underground, without any kobery.

Recently, however, the people of Italian Borneo have been somewhat concerned about their next-door neighbours, but they are concerned differently.

At a teahouse opened by a local Chinese in Pontianak, a group of people chatted with interest.

"Anyway, there's something going on over there with the red-haired ghost. A man named Zivadan raised an army in the area of Long Nawan to rebel against the rule of the red-haired ghosts. I heard that the local government of the red-haired ghost has been defeated. ”

A well-informed person is selling the exciting news he knows to the people around him. And his words immediately attracted the attention of many people. And the red-haired ghost in their mouth naturally refers to the Dutch.

"Really, that's good. Red-haired ghosts are the most hateful, and now there is a lesson. This Zivadan is a gentleman. ”

A middle-aged man dressed as a businessman, when he heard the news, immediately praised him. It seems that this man has suffered at the hands of the Dutch, which is why he will say so.

But then again, one-third of the Chinese in Pontianak came from the Dutch colony. Few of these people have a good impression of the Dutch.

There are serious people, after hearing the news, they frowned and said. "I'm afraid that the red-haired ghost is going to jump on his feet now, won't he send a large army to fight?"

"Troops have been sent a long time ago, it is said that last month, five big warships of red-haired ghosts transported thousands of people to the crusade." The well-informed people were well informed and immediately informed them of what they knew.

As soon as they heard this, those present stopped talking.

"In this way, this Zivadan may be in trouble."

The only one who said a word was the merchant. It seems that among these Chinese, the red-haired ghost Dutch is still very majestic. It's not that these Chinese are afraid of the Dutch, but the majesty of the Dutch in the hundreds of years of colonization in the South Seas does not dare to be despised by people.

Many of the Turkish chieftains had rebelled against the Dutch, but in the end the Dutch still ruled the area.

Therefore, many things are not understood until the end.

Just as the big guy was in the tea shop, planning to drink tea and chat about something else, suddenly a person rushed in.

"The latest news, the Dutch crusading army was defeated, and only more than 200 people ran back to Sammarin."

This news shocked everyone in the teahouse, but they didn't expect the Dutch to suffer a big defeat.

"Red-haired ghost, defeated?"

"Tell me what the hell is going on."

The previous well-informed person was immediately abandoned, and this one immediately became the focus of attention, surrounded by the stars and the moon.

Seeing the eagerness of everyone, he was greatly satisfied, and then continued.

"I just heard about this news, and I don't know if it's true."

"It's okay, let's hear about it first."

"Okay then."

As this man explained, everyone learned that the Dutch army was swimming up the Mahakan River to attack Zivadan, who had taken refuge deep in the Ilan Mountains.

More than 80 kilometers west of Lonnawan, at a place called Tabukan, they were raided and besieged by tens of thousands of rebels, and the raiding party was finally defeated, and only about 200 of the 1,000 retreated to Sammarin.

After listening to the narration, the people present sighed, they didn't expect the Dutch to suffer such a big loss.

Hearing this, people became worried.

"I didn't expect this person named Zivadan to be so powerful, wouldn't it be ......?"

Knowing what this person was talking about, someone immediately retorted. "No, Yiren is much more powerful than the red-haired ghost. I heard that in Europa, Italy won a battle and captured more than 200,000 prisoners. Besides, the red-haired ghost can't handle this Qi Wadan, and if he changes to the Italian army, he will definitely be able to do it. ”

The rebuttal immediately resonated with the big guys, many people have family businesses here, so you can't scare yourself. So he immediately turned into Zhuge Liang and pointed out the country.

"That's right, if Qi Wadan can win, it is the red-haired ghost who goes against the will of the people, if he dares to come to our side, it will be self-defeating."

While the people of the city were surprised by the Dutch defeat, Antonio in the Doge's Palace was also concerned about the battle.

However, unlike the Dousheng minions, Antonio has more detailed information.

"The Dutch army lost 217 killed, wounded and captured 531, so only about 200 escaped?"

Antonio looked at a man in front of him who was wearing civilian clothes, but his aura looked like a soldier, and asked.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor. The Dutch suffered very high losses in this battle. ”

Hearing this, Antonio nodded in satisfaction. "So, what about the losses of Zivadan's people?"

"It's not good, in the battle of Tabukan, Zivadan lost more than 600 people, more than 300 seriously wounded, more than 400 lightly wounded, and he has lost more than 40% of his personnel. So this time, in addition to coming back to report, Zivadan also wanted us to provide a batch of medicines. ”

That's right, Antonio is behind the riots in Dutch Borneo. Whoever let the Dutch cling to the Borneo possessions and not let go, no matter how much he persuaded him, it had no effect. In that case, then don't blame him for Antonio's black hand.

After more than a year of planning, now let Kissinia (Governor of Jakarta) have a headache. I hope the new Governor of Jakarta likes this gift from him.

"You can give it to him, but not too much, it can only be just enough for his troops to use, and you will bring it over when you return."

To Zivadan's request, Antonio agreed.

But since you have taken the Italian supplies, you need to do something, and then Antonio continued. "In addition, when he returned, he told Zivadan that since he had defeated the Dutch army that was crusading against him, he should take advantage of this gap to develop aggressively. Tambaran, Malinau, and Tarakan can all be the scope of expansion. ”

The names of the places mentioned by Antonio are all in northern Borneo, which is not very populated and sparsely populated, but it still helps to strengthen its power.

"Okay Governor, I'll advise Zivadan to develop it when I get back."

But before leaving, Antonio suddenly asked. "What do you think of Zivadan as a person?"

As Antonio's candidate to carry out the riot, how could he not know who Zivadan was. Now I want to know if there has been any change in his attitude. After all, people will change, especially with the development of strength, he is afraid that some people will have a trace of undeserved thoughts.

Faced with the Governor's inquiry, the officer replied. "Before I came back, Zivadan and most of his subordinates were respectful to us."

"Okay, you go get busy."

After seeing off the officer, who had been serving as a staff officer at Zivadan's side, Antonio took up the matter and asked his old friend how Rome was doing. As a man with a heart for the kingdom, Antonio was still very concerned about the situation in Rome.
