3101 Soldiers at Subic Bay

On the first day of 1871, early in the morning in the Bay of Brunei, the coast was filled with surrendered Spanish naval soldiers. They walked towards prisoners of war camps in the rainforest under the escort of Chinese soldiers with guns and ammunition.

This is the best New Year gift Xiao Hexin and the others gave to the head of state. Once the news of the victory of the Brunei Gulf Sea Battle spreads, it will surely shock the global naval community.

Even British naval experts have to look at the Chinese people with admiration!

The battle was simply brilliant. Seven warships were sunk wrecked at the entrance of Brunei Bay, forcing the port management office to leave permanent buoys to instruct other ships to orbit.

All the remaining five battleships surrendered with injuries. They were already anchored at the docks of Brunei Port in the early morning. The entire city had already caused a sensation, and the military and civilians of the whole city rushed to see their spoils.

The foreigners who were showing off their power and powerful were now all frost-beaten eggplants. They walked down from the warships with wounds wrapped in gauze and handed over their weapons in front of the Chinese army.

The people were immediately sensational, and the roar of long live shocked the whole of Hong Kong!

The morale of the Chinese people has reached the point of cooking oil in the fire, and the indigenous people of the South China Sea have also burst out with a hint of fear from their souls. The power of foreigners for more than three hundred years is still there, and at this moment, these Chinese people can actually defeat those foreigners like gods. Many indigenous people who have received some education have begun to reflect.

War is always the best ethnic fusion agent. When you show powerful force to other nations, someone will definitely take the initiative to merge. Human beings will always believe in the strong.

On the building of the Port Management Office, officials from the Brunei Provisional Government surrounded the three military chiefs, and each of them was filled with tears of excitement.

"It's great now. King Xiao's army no longer has to worry about the threat at sea. As long as the army lands in Subic Bay, Manila will be at your fingertips!"

"Send a telegram to Europe! We have to take the initiative to report the good news!"

Fang Dong and Wu Haoran shook their heads, "Be careful to sail the ten thousand years of ships. A long part of the telegram network leading to Europe is controlled by the British. It's better to be careful!"

At this moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly sounded downstairs, and several men wearing traditional aristocratic costumes of the Sultanate came up.

"Allah bless you! Brave General, the naval battle last night made us completely convinced... On behalf of the noble King of the East, I am willing to accept all the conditions of the Chinese people, and from now on, I am willing to worship the Chinese people as the sect leader!"

Happy events come one after another. There were a group of spectators in Brunei from beginning to end, part of which was reinforcements from the Lanfang Republic and part of which was the envoys of the Sulu Kingdom.

King Sulu sent his confidants to Brunei to see with their own eyes whether the Chinese have the strength to fight against the Spanish!

These ancient rulers with closed eyes were very simple to consider, and they valued strength! In their eyes, even the powerful Qing Dynasty was no match for foreigners. Can the newly emerging Chinese really do it?

Although the head of state's record is well known all over the world, the head of state's record is really brilliant, so brilliant that these small countries cannot believe it, and they are half-believing and half-doubting!

The diplomats sent by the head of state secretly talked with King Sulu many times, introducing in detail the victory of the Chinese wars, but these scared kings dared not believe them.

As a forced force, Xiao Hexin invited Sulu Kingdom to send a military observation team to watch the battle secretly, so that they could see with their own eyes how the Chinese fought!

As a result, the Battle of Brunei Gulf completely convinced the princes and ministers of these observation teams. Fifteen huge sail battleships were invincible in the eyes of these backward people, but in the hands of the Chinese, they were completely wiped out like killing melons and cutting vegetables.

Thousands of prisoners paraded in the city, and the Europeans' majesty was completely wiped out!

All doubts of Sulu Kingdom were eliminated, and the conditions for the head of state were expressed on the spot, and the Chinese people were willing to accept the conditions of the head of state, and the Chinese people could develop and garrison at will!

"Okay, okay! On the first day of the New Year, I will give the head of state a double gift! A celebration banquet!"

Brunei began to celebrate the victory, and no one in other parts of the Southeast Asian region knew about the victory of this naval battle!

Subic Bay is a small bay facing the South China Sea north of Manila Bay. The harbor is 14 kilometers long, 8-13 kilometers wide, with a depth of 24-50 meters. It has a good anchorage and beautiful scenery. In 1901, the United States established a naval base here and was recovered by the Philippine government after 1991.

At this moment, the Spaniards obviously did not realize the important military significance here. At present, Subic Bay is just a natural anchorage for fishermen to escape from wind and rain. Balangya Fishing Port has only a scale of more than 3,000 people. The residents have two sugar-pressing factories to live by fishing.

The war obviously affected the order here. The European supervisors of the sugar-squeezing mill had long known where to go, and production had completely stopped. The workers of the sugar-squeezing mill did not know where to go to make a living, so they could only wander on the streets like ghosts.

This year, the colonial government has temporarily increased taxes for four consecutive times. The people are suffering and have reached the verge of riots. In addition, the shortage of supplies caused by the war and fear have caused the prices on the market have increased by three or four times.

The unemployed indigenous refugees wandered around hungry, looking at the deserted rice fields outside the city, imagining the scene of the richness of the Chinese working here before.

"Bah... these Chinese people have all run away. If they don't escape, they can still grow rice for us to eat, and if they don't give it to us, they can still grab it!"

"Now, it's all gone. What a damn time. When will those Chinese who are stupid and only know how to farm come back? I really miss the days when rice is eaten..."

During the Chinese uprising in the north of Luzon, all Chinese people in other places fled. They understood the virtues of these colonists and indigenous people. Since they had entered a state of war, these people would definitely massacre and revenge.

The Chinese gangs have long begun to protect these Chinese people in a planned manner. Even the Chinese in Manila have withdrawn 60% of them at this moment, let alone these remote countrysides.

The Chinese who left burned all the food in a fire, and if they couldn't take it away, they would never leave a little bit for these Spanish and Europeans, starving these bastards to death!

Without Chinese people, the local economy immediately fell into chaos. Many places even reached the point where there was no food to eat. Many extremely poor natives could only search for some fruits in the suburbs to satisfy their hunger.

It was not until this time that they understood the benefits of Chinese people, but the habit of despising Chinese people that they had developed for many years would not change. Even if they were so hungry that they drooled in their mouths, they still cursed in their words.

Just as these indigenous monkeys were drooling as the Chinese burned rice fields, suddenly there were noises coming from the direction of the bay, as if countless people were screaming.

A group of natives quickly climbed onto the coconut tree, put on a pergola and looked towards the sea. The scene just caught his eyes so scared that he loosened his hands and hung it down from the canopy.
