New Ming Empire mixed in America

At this time, Bandar Seri Begawan was located in the Kingdom of Brunei. At this time, the Kingdom of Brunei was undergoing a civil war, so it had almost become a de facto concession area between the Dutch and the British, but the Kingdom of Brunei did not recognize it.

That's all.

As for why Dai Ying was able to have a hand in the Kingdom of Brunei, we have to mention the country next to the Kingdom of Brunei - the Brooke Dynasty.

In 1843, James Brooke, who was born in England, occupied the Sarawak region of the Kingdom of Brunei and declared independence, establishing the Kingdom of Sarawak with the locals.

In the same year, he defeated Brunei's crusade and secretly helped a Brunei young man named Ha Xin to become the Prime Minister of Brunei.

With the help of this young man, James Brooke's independent kingdom was temporarily free from foreign troubles.

Then he began to expand to other places and deal with pirate strongholds in the country.

In 1846, James Brooke, who had been in exile for three years, declared himself king and became known as the Brooke Dynasty in history.

This year, Brunei's second-fifth son Hasin was lit as a sky lantern by the King of Brunei.

The next year, this guy jointly led the British to attack the capital of Brunei and forced the king of Brunei to sign a series of treaties.

In 1854, the Dutch wiped out all Chinese companies in Borneo and massacred the Chinese.

Some surviving Chinese fled into the territory of the Brooke Dynasty and formed a new Branch Twelve with the local Chinese.

In 1857, James Brooke massacred all the local Chinese because of the Chinese uprising. The relevant documents record: "James invaded Maoshan and killed all the Chinese. Their corpses were strewn in the fields, followed by women and children. Or they fled into the mountains and forests outside the boundary.

Also killed by the Dutch.'

Note that what is written here is an uprising, because James Brooke did not allow the Chinese to buy wine and daily necessities from the outside world, and prohibited the export of local products such as gold.

To be honest, under this kind of law, anyone would revolt. You can't sell local products to outsiders, and you can't buy various supplies from the outside world. Isn't this just a serf by another name?

In 1863, James Brooke returned to England due to a stroke, and his nephew Charles became regent.

In September, Daiying had just recognized the status of the Brooke dynasty.

Therefore, it was because of this executioner named James Brooke that Dai Ying was able to invest his influence in Borneo.

The one who suffered the most was Brunei, because one of the treaties they signed allowed British warships to freely enter and exit all Brunei ports.

Warships can now come and go freely, and Brunei is probably on the agenda of leading the British congressmen to be closer to being destroyed.

It was precisely because of the intervention of the Brooke Dynasty that the Dutch were able to openly and openly wave banknotes and start businesses in Bandar Seri Begawan.

At this time, the Dutch embassy area in Bandar Seri Begawan was brightly lit.

Looking at the two pieces of information in his hand that were only a few hours apart, the consul looked very ugly.

"That means that when you come back, the Eastern fleet has already appeared in front of you?"

Rubbing his head, he stood up and walked around the room.

Normally when they encounter this kind of thing, they usually rely on their skin color and racial advantages to carry out diplomatic work.

After all, the white people in Europe stay together most of the time.

Regardless of how happy they are, when it comes to dealing with other races, their interests are the same.

On the other hand, the situation in the Far East is another extreme. Not to mention the Japanese and Bangzi who later left Asia and joined Europe, the minds of the indigenous people in Southeast Asia seemed to have been soaked by something.

These guys who are full of shit in their heads actually choose to admit that they are fathers. They are simply more qualified than their own son India.

There is also the Pseudo-Qing Dynasty. These ambitious bullies are even more unbearable. Those words of preferring friends to domestic slaves directly separate themselves from China.

With these idiots holding each other back and trying their best to kill themselves, Europeans' control of the world's right to speak is as simple as drinking water.

Since the familiar diplomatic work could not be started, the consul thought for a while and then suddenly patted himself on the head.

"This is the Kingdom of Brunei. If those Easterners attack here, it will be a war between them and the Kingdom of Brunei, and..."

Having said this, the consul's eyes became brighter and brighter. He walked back to his desk, found a document, opened it and read it.

Then he raised his head again, looked at the anxious-looking messenger with a smile, and said:

"Not only is our fleet docked here, some of the British Far East fleets are also docked here, and next to us is the territory of that guy Brook. His temper is not very good, especially when facing the Easterners."

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at the Dutch military attaché in the Kingdom of Brunei and said:

"Can our current fleet be able to defend Bandar Seri Begawan?"

The military attache pondered for a while with a serious face and said:

"The officers on the fort here are all our people, and the coastal defense artillery is also the most advanced artillery in the country. Coupled with the existing gunboats and the gunboat formation returning to defend, it shouldn't be a big problem to defend here."

In fact, this Dutch military attache did not have a good way to deal with the newly emerged Xin Ming Empire.

Other countries more or less have their own allies or have other countries as common interest groups.

The Xinming Empire is similar to the United States. It has few allies and has no way to deal with it diplomatically.

And the Qing Dynasty, who was also from the East, seemed not to be friends with the New Ming Empire.

"It's best to keep it safe. I'm going to visit my old friend. Bandar Seri Begawan is not only a bay for us Dutch, it is also a bay that brings Britain and all countries in Europe!"

After the Dutch consul finished speaking, he hurriedly walked out of the embassy and walked towards the residence of the British consul.

The interrogator who had reported the situation was also taken along to explain the situation.

The military attache of the Dutch Consulate used a telegram to start mobilizing troops and setting up the arrangements.

The Netherlands really does not want to go to war against the Xinming Empire, a country as unscrupulous as a 'mad dog'.

No, I don’t even want to make contact.

All European countries do not want to deal with this alien who does not 'play' according to their rules of the game.

Anyway, if the Xinming Empire is jumping around, it will only be jumping around in the New World, where it will not affect the interests of those European countries.

Now that the Xinming Empire has arrived in the Far East and has destroyed Spanish colonial rule in Luzon, this has touched the red line in the hearts of European countries.

If the news hadn't spread back to Europe, Europe would have started to deal with the Xinming Empire by now.

But Li Mingqi was mentally prepared for these foreseeable consequences.

Again, Li Mingqi never looked at the European countries as independent individuals. He always looked at them as a whole.

Now the Pacific Fleet of the Xinming Empire has been formed and appears in the Far East.

When European countries are not sure of defeating the Pacific Fleet in one fell swoop, they will most likely choose to ignore what the Xin Ming Empire is doing now.

But this kind of indifference is not to let it go, but to wait and see for an opportunity. They need an opportunity to bring the Xinming Empire back to its original shape.

As long as this opportunity does not arise, they will not show their fangs prematurely when facing the New Ming Empire.
