    The Dutch fleet sailed through Malacca without being attacked.  </p>

    Even when picking up the governor, he went to China's Palembang to resupply once.  Wars belong to wars, and business belongs to business. Now that the war is over, fresh water and food can be replenished with money.  </p>

    In the cabin, Governor Rainiers said: "Batavia is gone, and occupying Ceylon will not make up for this major loss. Before the headquarters gets the news, we must make up for it. The port of Naga Patam in Portugal is not easy to fight.  But Chittagong is relatively easy, there are only a few Portuguese and some pirates.¡±</p>

    Commander-in-Chief Edlan said: "I'm afraid we can't send troops. We seem to have lost the war with the British." </p>

    "It seems?" Rainiers didn't understand.  </p>

    Edland said: "A few days ago, I met a few French merchant ships, and they brought the latest news from Europe. In the last naval battle, we lost both with Britain, but our naval commander was killed. Due to being besieged for half a year, Amsterdam  Prices are soaring, food is in short supply, and I heard that many civilians starved to death. We are negotiating with the British, and we are passive in the negotiations.¡±</p>

    Rainiers was shocked: "How could it be possible that even the British fleet can't win?"</p>

    Edlan said: "I am also surprised, but the fact is like this. So I dare not fight the Chinese fleet, because our fleet has suffered heavy losses at the headquarters. If we fight the Chinese fleet again, even if we win, we will definitely win."  The loss is heavy, and it is difficult to replenish ships in the short term. At that time, if China gathers its fleet to attack, we may not even be able to keep the Indian Ocean. Now our army is not enough, we can only defend the existing colonies, and it is impossible to capture Jida  port." </p>

    When Rainiers heard that the Netherlands lost to England, he didn't feel much sadness, but a tinge of rejoicing.  </p>

    My loss of Batavia is a major fault, isn't the loss of the Netherlands to England a major fault?  Everyone is in the same boat, so don't make fun of anyone. I can also shirk when faced with inquiries from the headquarters.  </p>

    Rainiers said to Edlan: "When we arrived in India, we threw those staff and soldiers to the colonies in batches. We took our cronies and went to Colombo to rebuild the Governor's Palace."</p>

    "Don't you go to Pulicat? It develops best there." Adrian asked.  </p>

    Rainiers shook his head: "It's because Pulicat has developed so well, and the local forces there are entangled. After I went, I was easily dismissed. Colombo is just the opposite. Not long after it was laid down there, the local factions have not yet had a solid foundation.  Portugal has ruled for hundreds of years, and Colombo is suitable for Europeans to live in, and it is the best place for the government of the company.¡±</p>

    Batch after batch of civilians and Dutch soldiers were thrown in the colonies on the east coast of India.  </p>

    Rainiers landed in Colombo with his cronies and changed the castle left by Portugal into the Governor's Palace. Sri Lanka became the Asian ruling center of the Dutch East India Company.  </p>

    </p>

    Cebu.  </p>

    After losing Luzon, it became the ruling center of the Philippine Governor.  </p>

    The new governor, Sabignano Manrique Delarra, set off from Spain for Mexico, and then came to the Philippines by boat to take up his post.  </p>

    "You are finally here, hurry up and do the handover, I have long wanted to leave this damn place." The current governor, Diego Fajardo Chacon, was relieved.  </p>

    "What's the trouble?" asked Sabignano. </p>

    Diego said: "Half of the Philippines is rioting, and these natives can't be killed. Also, don't mess with the Chinese, the Netherlands is about to be driven out of Southeast Asia by China."</p>

    "Has Batavia been captured by China?" Sabignano asked in surprise.  </p>

    Diego said: "I don't know very well. The news I got is that the Chinese army has surrounded Batavia for almost two months. The reason is that China's vassal state discovered a large gold mine, and the Netherlands sent troops to capture it."  </p>

    Sabignano gloated at this: "Those greedy Dutch people really deserve it!"</p>

    Diego said: "Don't worry about the Dutch, I remind you to apply for the formation of more troops as soon as possible. There is a rebel leader named Sumu Luoyi. He instigated and led the indigenous riots. This riot has lasted for four years. Forgive me for my lack of ability  , I really can't completely put down the rebels. I killed more than 20,000 rebels back and forth, but the number of rebels is increasing."</psp; Zhang Huangyan smiled and helped: "Please get up quickly."</p>

    Song Min took advantage of the opportunity to stand up, and then bowed his hands again: "Please, Governor, send troops quickly to occupy the castle on Mindoro Island, and don't let the Spaniards come back again. This time, the Han people and indigenous people on the island joined hands to conquer the Spanish castle.  People drove them away, and the Han people alone sacrificed hundreds of people, and the indigenous brothers died more than a thousand."</p>

    Mindoro Island, known as Mayi Kingdom since the Song Dynasty, is an important trading place for Han Chinese maritime merchants.  Yellow wax, pearls, betel nuts, tortoiseshell, calico, etc. are the special products here, which are used to exchange for Chinese porcelain, ironware and cotton cloth.  </p>

    The record in "Daoyi Zhilue" in the Yuan Dynasty is: "(Mayi Country) the mountains are flat and wide, Jiaxi is settled, the fields are plump, and the climate is slightly warmer. The vulgar is still righteous Barbarians negotiate prices and lead them to pass on Bo Yitu  The goods, and then the merchants will be at the right price, keep their promises as before, and live up to their promises."</p>

    That is to say, the mountains of Mindoro Island are gentle, and most of them gather as villages in river valleys.  The climate is relatively warm and the land is very fertile.  The aborigines here advocate integrity and have a tradition of burial.  The native businessman kept his promise, negotiated the price, and never changed his mind.  </p>

    Zhang Huangyan asked: "Are the residents of the island willing to submit to His Majesty?" </p>

    Song Min replied: "Yes. The residents on the island, regardless of the local Han, all hate Spain and admire China. I heard that the imperial court treated the Luzon natives well, and all the natives on the island yearn for it."</p>

    Zhang Huangyan asked again: "How many Han people are there on the island?"</p>

    Song Min replied: "There are about two or three thousand Han people (mostly of mixed blood)."</p>

    Zhang Huangyan thought for a while and said, "In that case, I will make my own decision and change Namindo Luo Island to Mayi County, and your Excellency will temporarily be a false (acting) magistrate. After reporting to the imperial court, you will be transferred to the county magistrate. The county should respond  The officials will be arranged by Your Excellency. In addition, I will recruit three hundred soldiers in Luzon to guard the castle there."</p>

    "Thank you, Governor!" Song Min was overjoyed.  </p>

    Contributing soil is meritorious, and a county magistrate will definitely give it.  In order to rule the island stably, the officials arranged by the magistrate will also honor it.  </p>

    However, it is held every three years.  </p>

    ?For at most two terms, the imperial court will send officials to replace them, and gradually bring them under the actual control of the central government.  </p>

    Datong China's expansion in Nanyang is really smooth.  As long as there is force as a backing, a bunch of vassal states will vote one after another.  Now even more islanders are revolting, donating soil directly and incorporating it into China.  </p>

    In fact, those Nanyang aborigines were oppressed too hard by the European colonists, and they thought of turning to China every chance they had, and they would not be bullied by taking shelter in China.  </p>

    ? When the day comes when all the European colonists are driven away, the situation will definitely change slowly, turning into a conflict between the Han Chinese and the indigenous people.  At that time, it will be the indigenous uprising, clamoring to rebel against China.  </p&gt
