Chapter 1049

"No wonder the emperor is so devoted to Nanyang, so it is."

Yue Yun's eyes fell on the native Manila people who came and went, thinking deeply.

Li Kaiyuan looked into Yue Yun's eyes and said with a smile, "there are more and more overseas colonies, and more and more manpower are needed. There is no way to do this, but the emperor is not prepared to adopt the old Western slave trade pattern."

Yue Yun was surprised. He asked, "can these aborigines go to the Empire voluntarily to be slaves without Western methods?"

Li Kaiyuan chuckled twice and said, "it's not true. The emperor requires that the slaves who enter the Empire should be strictly screened. Those who are weak, have low intelligence and are mentally abnormal should not enter the Empire."

Yue Yun nodded and continued to wait for Li Kaiyuan's explanation.

"The reason for this is that the emperor is prepared to ban the slave trade in the next step, so that the slaves can not enter the Empire. Without the slaves, the empire can only make up for it with the slaves from Nanyang."

"The black slaves are strong and strong. Why do they work so hard?" Yue Yun is really puzzled. Registered residence in the registered residence of the Empire,

Li Kaiyuan said mysteriously: "according to the cabinet, the Empire will soon introduce a new household registration system that will popularize the whole country. In the future, every household has only one ethnic name on the registered residence of the emperor. This is the Han Dynasty, plus the emperor's cancellation of the gold account, the Tubo and other Kanto tribes, and the unification of imperial writing. In this way, there will be less conflicts. The appearance of black slaves and Westerners is so different from ours that it is useless to implement this law. However, these slaves in Southeast Asia are different. They only need to live in the Empire for several generations, and then they will be completely assimilated. "

Yue Yun's head was a little confused. He shook his head and sighed," after all, we can't figure out what the emperor does. "

He didn't know that Xiao Ming was doing this to avoid following the old path of a contemporary big country, so control should start early.

After chatting with each other for a while, Li Kaiyuan went to Manila city step by step, while Yue Yun ordered the fleet to enter the preparation stage.

Now that Li Kaiyuan is here, Manila doesn't need him. He has got the idea that the five Western allied forces are gathering in India. I'm afraid an unprecedented war will soon take place.

But before that, he still has a colony to settle. This is the last Dutch colony in Asia, Indonesia. Next, he will go to Jakarta.

It took two days to complete the handover of Manila, and on the morning of the third day, the fleet set off in a mighty manner.

In the battle of Manila, they didn't find Eric's merchant ship. Later, when they learned about Manila's dense water network, they finally gave up searching because it was just a waste of time.

But Yue Yun knows that these Dutch must have gone to Jakarta, which is also the most important stronghold of the Dutch. He is ready to fight a naval battle here, because he believes that the Dutch will not give up there so easily.

Government house in Jakarta.

There's an unprecedented row going on here, with Stephen, Simon, Eric, and the governor of Jakarta, Avril, sitting at a table like an angry lion.

"Simon, Eric shouldn't be here. He's been removed from the post of governor of geranzchen. Now he's just a prisoner."

Simon said: "come on, Stephen, at least Eric is an excellent commander. I believe he will do well in the next battle. If you want to try him, at least you have to wait until he returns to Holland and hands him over to Parliament for trial. Besides, he knows the Chinese Empire better than any of us."

"It's you bastard who should be put in prison most. If you didn't go your own way, we wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses. Now the city of geranzha is gone, the trade is gone, and so is Manila."

Eric said angrily.

"This is the decision of Congress!" Stephen screamed.

Iver's face was very ugly. He had lost his patience. Then he patted his desk heavily and said, "shut up. Maybe the imperial fleet is coming to Jakarta now. That's the most important question. What should we do?"

"Retreat to India, wait for the outcome of the battle, lose back to Holland, win, we can get everything back. "Eric advised," we can't fight against the Chinese empire with our strength. Believe me, aver. "

Simon really saw the strength of the Imperial Army and nodded.

Iver was disappointed. He said: "Jakarta is the most precious treasure of the Netherlands. We have been operating here for more than 100 years. We can't just give it to our enemies."

"That's right, and now the Allied forces are not fully prepared. We need to delay the speed of the Imperial Navy. This is the order we got before we came here. Like Manila, we have to prepare for war." Stephen said.

Eric looked despairing, and Simon looked down. He said, "all of you have seen their continuous shooting weapons. When you see them, you will understand what a stupid decision you made today.""You should be ashamed. Although Holland has declined, the spirit of the Dutch has not declined. Never giving in is our Dutch advantage." Cried Stephen.

Eric just sneered and said, "don't be scared to pee in your pants then."

Iver recognized Eric's meaning and said happily, "you're willing to stay, aren't you?"

"Yes, this time I'm going to test the way to deal with the imperial army." Eric's eyes sparkled with danger.

Along the way, he has been studying how to organize the attack of the imperial army.

After a pause, he said, "the only way to delay the Imperial Army's attack is to dig deep trenches and use fire hedgehogs to cause them a lot of casualties. In this way, they will consider the cost of the attack and come back to the negotiation table with us instead of just using force to solve everything."

"The fire hedgehog did work." Simon testified for Eric.

Iver nodded. He and Eric had gone to war together and trusted Eric very much. "I immediately organized the aboriginal slaves in Jakarta to dig trenches, and Eric, let's fight side by side this time, just like before."

Eric's expression eased a little. "I hope we can tide over this time and let the Chinese Empire return to the negotiation table, but this hope is very slim."
