New Ming Empire mixed in America

The advisor felt very tired when he saw the regent who was so focused on finances.

In fact, this is also the case in history, otherwise Brooke would not have thought of replacing him. Unfortunately, the other heir was even more ruined than Charles.

"If you had paid attention to things other than finance earlier, I think this matter would not be difficult to understand."

The consultant reached out from the pile of documents on the table and found a stack of telegrams that had been put together, unfolded it, and handed it to Charles.

"The intelligence of the past few days has been listed here. It can be seen from this that the time when things got worse only lasted a few days..."

"In addition, the source of this matter is that you agreed to the Dutch's request and sent a fleet to help those cowards!"

The advisor actually wanted to throw the information in Charles' face, because the previous targets of those Easterners were obviously only the Dutch.

And the other party did not turn the Dutch into the Spanish this time.

But now everything has changed. After the Dutch lost their gunboats, they retreated to Java. It seemed that the Easterners did not even want to attack the Kingdom of Marchen that the Dutch now occupied.

But the Brooke Dynasty, which is closest to Bandar Seri Begawan, is in tragedy.

Although Brunei also had some frictions with the Orientals, the Kingdom of Brunei successfully prevented the Orientals from continuing to harass their coastal cities after paying a large amount of 'compensation'.

The Brooke dynasty was different. When they first dealt with the easterners who were temporarily staying there, they were very deadly.

The massacre of Easterners by the Spaniards more than a hundred years ago could be cleared up by the butcher dictator. It is difficult for the consultants to imagine how bad the situation that the Brooke Dynasty will face next will be.

"It's too late to say this now..." Charles roughly scanned the contents of the telegram.

The expression on his face has become very solemn.

The Brooke family began to rise after James Brooke became the king of the Kingdom of Sarawak.

Now that James Brooke has resigned, Charles will take the Brooke family to hell as soon as he becomes regent...

Thinking of this, the solemn look on Charles' face gradually turned into fear.

Because the next moment he saw the latest telegram sent, that is, the fleet leading the British had temporarily evacuated Southeast Asia.

Now the Brooke family's last trump card is gone. If Daiying can support the Brooke dynasty, maybe there will be a decent outcome for their family.

But now the fleet with the British left Borneo directly, temporarily giving up the ownership of the Celebes Sea and the Sulu Sea.

When the Orientals arrive in Bintulu, the fate of the Brook family will definitely be very ugly.

And not only that, the Lanfang Republic, which occupies western Borneo, will definitely add insult to injury.

Even if the Brook family survives this crisis, the land close to Lanfang Republic, such as Kuching, will be forcibly occupied by the other party.

"Our army..." Charles just started to ask about the army situation of the Brooke Dynasty.

But the consultant's words directly gave up all his plans.

"The Spaniards also have an army, and it has an army of tens of thousands!"

Charles fell silent immediately, knowing what the consultant meant.

The Spaniards also had tens of thousands of militia and army combinations, but they were finally defeated by the Easterners.

Until now, the scattered Spanish soldiers are still chewing tree bark on the barren mountains of Luzon.

If the search by the Easterners hadn't been so intense and didn't last long, the Spaniards might have become extinct in Luzon.

Even if the Easterners had no intention of continuing to hunt down the scattered Spanish soldiers, now that they had lost the protection of Manila and the fleet, no one was afraid of them.

At least the natives who were once servants no longer respected them.

Charles was right. Li Mingqi did not have the time or ability to completely wipe out the Brooke Dynasty from Borneo.

But the Lanfang Republic can. As long as Li Mingqi pays some weapons and equipment, these compatriots who have been abandoned by the pseudo-Qing Dynasty and bullied by foreigners can become the masters of Borneo.

This time Li Mingqi hunted down the miniature fleet of the Brooke Dynasty. One of the reasons was to avenge his compatriots and give himself a vent. He also went to Lanfang Republic to accept the interview ceremony of the current president of Lanfang Republic.

He will accept the letter of credence presented by President Liu Aseng (Liu Shoushan) of Lanfang Republic in Dongwanlu (today's Pontianak), the capital of Lanfang Republic, and officially declare that Lanfang Republic has become a vassal state of the Xinming Empire.

There is no bay in Bintulu, so the port area here is constructed by several docks and coastal defense artillery positions. It is said that the port is a bit flattering to them.

In fact, most port cities in the world are even simpler than this one.

But in the past, Li Mingqi only attacked port cities such as Manila, Lima in Peru, Hawaii, San Francisco...

Now when he first saw how crude the port of a country's capital was, Li Mingqi even wondered if he had gone to the wrong place.

"Is this the capital of the Brooke dynasty?"

Looking at the number of artillery guns on that coastal defense artillery position, which was not as many as the so-called port with as many guns as a second-class ironclad battleship of the Pacific Fleet, Li Mingqi asked with some uncertainty.

"Long live my Lord, this is the capital of the Brooke Dynasty."

Liu Erhe also looked down upon this place. Originally, he would have thought that it would be a fierce battle no less than that of Manila if he brought the Pacific Fleet with him.

But now the other party's poor port really makes Liu Erhe uninterested.

Even the airship troops preparing to take off stopped their preparations.

Without it, it seems that the airship will not be used to fight this time.

"How dare such a powerful indigenous country attack our compatriots?"

Li Mingqi still hasn't recovered from the shock that his opponent is a weakling.

It can be said that this is the most useless opponent he has ever seen.

Even the ports in Peru are ten thousand times better than here. At least their ports have forts and fortresses.

But this shabby place looked more like a small town and a plantation than a country's capital. Li Mingqi felt that letting the Pacific Fleet launch a salvo was a waste of ammunition.

"Let Cheng Yuanliang say hello to the other party. We have been here for almost half an hour, but the other party didn't even send an envoy. They obviously look down on us!"

Li Mingqi ignored the merchant ship that was slowly approaching with the flag of the Brooke Dynasty, and directly issued a verbal order.

Cheng Yuanliang did not hesitate after receiving the order. A few minutes later, the Pacific Fleet launched a salvo directly at what could barely be called a port area.

Of course, only Zhu Zhiwen's vanguard fleet fired this salvo. After all, there was no need for main battleships to open fire in such a small place.

"NONO, you cannot launch artillery attacks on a city that has sent an envoy and clearly expressed goodwill!"

The envoy of the Brooke Dynasty on the merchant ship looked at the coastal defense artillery positions with rising flames and was so anxious that he jumped on the merchant ship.

It's a pity that his voice can't travel far on the sea, not to mention that they are still a long way from Li Mingqi's ship.

"Damn it, speed it up, our country is being invaded now!"

Seeing the speed of the merchant ship slowing down again, the envoy of the Brooke Dynasty, who couldn't bear it anymore, came to the captain to protest.

If the merchant ships and gunboats of the Brooke Dynasty hadn't followed the Dutch warships to deliver food, he wouldn't have had to take a temporarily hired merchant ship on his mission.
