Chapter 144: The Tragedy of Lanfang

ps: The first update is here! Please subscribe, please give me monthly tickets and recommendation tickets!

Dongwanlu was originally just a small town, but it flourished because of gold mines. After the founding of Lanfang Kingdom and the capital, Dongwanlu developed rapidly. Now Dongwanlu is already a city with more than 100,000 people. In Borneo, it is definitely a top-notch city, and it is not even comparable to the capital of the Sultanate of Brunei.

The main population of Lanfang Country is Chinese. These Chinese are basically Chinese people in the coastal areas of China. They went to Southeast Asia to make a living because they could not live. As well as the descendants of these Chinese who have reproduced over the past few hundred thousand. In addition to the Chinese, there are also some local indigenous people. In their life with the Chinese, they have learned the knowledge and production methods of Chinese and gradually become civilized. However, more indigenous people continue to live a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood. These indigenous people are called Shengfan and are one of the main enemies of Lanfang Country.

At this moment, Dongwanlu had already entered a strict guard. The soldiers of Lan Fangguo patrolling with weapons could be seen everywhere. The 20,000 Dutch troops were stationed on the border, which put great pressure on Lan Fangguo! The current commander of Lan Fangguo, also known as the chief, was helpless in the face of the Dutch army. Lan Fang also had great differences in this. Some people advocated fighting with the Dutch, but the group led by Xie Guifang advocated negotiating with the Dutch Indonesian authorities to sacrifice some of the interests of Lan Fangguo in exchange for the Dutch retreat. Gu Liubo was also unsure. After all, Lan Fangguo has always been at a disadvantage in the struggle with the Dutch over the years!

"General, we are fighting with those foreigners! Aren't we just 20,000 Dutch? We have more than 40,000 brothers now, which is enough to defeat them!" a tall and powerful man shouted at the top of his voice.

"Fight? What to fight? Will those unarmed brothers die? We are facing a 20,000-strong Dutch regular army! With more than 40,000 brothers who have not been trained and lack weapons, can they beat them?" Xie Guifang scolded with a dark face. He is the second highest-ranking leader in Lanfang Country, second only to the Chief Gu Liubo, and has great prestige. He is the confidant of the former Chief Liu Taier. Even after Liu Taier passed away, he has always stubbornly adhered to Liu Taier's policy and advocated good relations with the Dutch in order to ensure that the Chinese can survive in Borneo.

The general leader Gu Liubo's face was also a little gloomy. Among the dozen senior leaders of Lan Fang Kingdom, only a few people advocated the battle. Others have been attracted by Xie Guifang. Even if he wanted to fight against the Dutch Indonesian colonial authorities, he would be greatly constrained. After all, his position as the general leader is still elected by everyone. There is no absolute supreme power!

"Uncle Guifang. Can Xinhua Kingdom defeat those foreigners again and again? Why can't we? Perhaps, if we fight with the Dutch people, there is still a glimmer of life!" said Gu Yun, who was sitting in the corner of the house. With his qualifications, he was originally not qualified to attend this meeting. However, he was the son of Gu Liubo. As long as he did not make big mistakes in the future, he could at least become one of the senior executives of Lan Fang Kingdom. Just experiencing such an occasion now can be considered accumulating experience. Others will not say much!

"Gu Yun! Can we compare with Xinhua? The guys in Xinhua just rely on the advantages of weapons to defeat foreign devils! If there were no advanced weapons, they were not much different from us! What's even more annoying is that they have advanced weapons, but they do not care about the feelings of their compatriots at all. Refusing to sell those weapons to us is simply a sect forgot! " Xie Guifang cursed. Among the senior officials of Lanfang, many people were very angry at Xinhua's refusal to sell new weapons, believing that Xinhua was deliberately trying to refuse to save them!

After being scolded by Xie Guifang, Gu Yun had to stop talking awkwardly.

At this moment, an official from Lan Fangguo ran in with a panic look on his face and reported to everyone: "General, sir, big things are wrong! Pontianak has fallen! Most of the five thousand brothers guarding there have been killed in battle! Only a very small number of people escaped back!"

"What? How is this possible?" Gu Liu Bo stood up suddenly, his face pale. He had never expected that Pontianak would fall so soon. You know, the regular army of Lan Fang Kingdom, with more than 5,000 people. But in just a few days, he was actually captured by the Dutch. Gu Liu Bo just felt a dizzy moment, and then he fell to the ground.

The others in the hall were also in a mess. At the beginning, they were stunned by the news of Pontianak's fall. Gu Liu Bo suddenly fainted, which made everyone feel as if they had lost their backbone.

"Come here, call the doctor!" Gu Yun rushed to Gu Liu's side at the first time. Gu Liu's unconsciousness made him very worried.

It took a while for everyone to send Gu Liu Bo to rest, but there was still noisy in the hall, as if the sky was about to collapse.

"Okay! Everyone is quiet! Tell me clearly, what's going on? Why did Pontianak, which is so tightly defended, fall so quickly?" Xie Guifang asked. After Gu Liu Bo fell into a coma, among the top leaders of Lan Fangguo in the hall, he had the highest position and the oldest qualifications!

"Deputy Chief, that's it! Yesterday morning, the Dutch launched a fierce attack on Pontianak! A large number of Western warships appeared on the sea. They bombarded Pontianak with fierce artillery fire, and the entire Pontianak became a ruin. The brothers guarding Pontianak suffered heavy casualties and were eventually outnumbered and Pontianak was occupied by them!" The visitor replied.

"Nonsense! The Dutch navy has been destroyed by Xinhua Kingdom. Where did they come from so many warships?" Xie Guifang scolded.

"Deputy Chief, the warships on the sea were not Dutch, but Spanish! In the afternoon, among the foreign devils attacking Pontianak, there were also troops holding the Spanish flag!" The visitor explained.

"Hiss!" Everyone took a breath. The Dutch had a headache. Now, with the Spanish, does Lanfangguo still have a way out? Even those who are optimistic know that Lanfangguo may be in danger this time.

"Espanyol? How could the Spanish get involved? What's going on?" Xie Guifang was also very depressed. Didn't the Spaniards come to cause trouble for Xinhua? Why did they attack Lan Fangguo again in a blink of an eye? Lan Fangguo and the Spanish have no grudges!

The Dutch joined forces with the Spaniards and captured Pontianak in just one day, which made Lan Fang's country very nervous. Many people were already desperate. The Dutch alone made Lan Fang's country unable to cope. Now, with the Spaniards, they were even more unable to fight. For a moment, the surrender faction led by Xie Guifang increased greatly. Even the general leader Gu Liubo could not suppress it after he woke up.

In the end, under the leadership of Xie Guifang, the country of Lanfang sent envoys to the Jose coalition forces that were attacking Wanlu East, hoping to negotiate with the Dutch Indonesian colonial authorities and pay a certain amount of benefits in exchange for the enemy's retreat. However, this time they were completely wrong. Faced with Lanfang's compromise, the Dutch Indonesian colonial authorities wanted to agree. But this time the leader of the coalition was the Spaniards, not them! The Spaniards were preparing to use West Borneo as the battlefield and fight against Xinhua! These Chinese in Lanfang's country were very likely to wear a pair of pants with Xinhua. After all, Lanfang's country, like Xinhua, were all dominated by Chinese.

General Fernans, commander of the Spanish Expeditionary Force, rejected Lan Fangguo's request, claiming that unless Lan Fangguo surrendered to them unconditionally, they would kill all the people in Lan Fangguo!

The rejection of the negotiation request surprised the senior leaders of Lan Fangguo, but this caused them to panic. Most of the senior leaders of Lan Fangguo are a group of people who grew up later. They have lived a life of luxury and do not have the pioneering and enterprising spirit of their parents since childhood. In addition, most of them are vested interests and are unwilling to suffer their own interests. Therefore, after learning that the war is inevitable, some people actually planned to flee from Lan Fangguo and flee back to China to be a rich man. This directly led to the lack of fighting spirit when facing the Jose Allied Forces.

In the Battle of Dongwanlu, 40,000 Lanfang's army and more than 30,000 Jose coalition forces fought a decisive battle! As a result, Lanfang's army, which lacked firearms, was defeated and tens of thousands were killed in battle. Except for some of the remaining people, the rest were captured by the Jose coalition forces. At the same time, the Jose coalition forces also captured Dongwanlu, the capital of Lanfang. Most of the senior leaders of the Lanfang country were captured by the Jose coalition forces, and only a very small number escaped. Gu Liubo, the chief general of the Lanfang country, died in the battle with the Jose coalition forces. His son Gu Yun fled to East Borneo under the protection of some of his confidants and asked for help from Xinhua.

After the Jose Allied Forces captured Dongwanlu, the Dutch and the Spanish vented their anger on the Chinese in Lanfanglu in order to vent their anger against the New China. They burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil, and cried in the whole city.

After doing evil, in order to cover up their crimes, the Dutch and the Spanish burned Dongwanlu with fire. However, there were still survivors who fled here before they burned Dongwanlu. In the end, the crimes of the Jose coalition were known to the Xinhua Kingdom, so that after the end of this war, the captured Spaniards and Dutch people were all killed by Xinhua Kingdom to avenge these dead compatriots!
