Chapter 215 This should be considered a battle

When old friends reunite, according to Vladivostok’s custom, a hot pot meal is essential.

Ye Luoxin invited Milyugin to eat hot pot. There were several kinds of base ingredients, all of which were carefully prepared by the Vladivostok Food Company.

The talent of the Chinese in food has finally found enough room to flourish in Vladivostok, and it can be said that a hundred flowers are blooming.

The Qing Empire had a large population and rich products, but on average there was not much for each person.

Vladivostok is rich in products and has few people.

Corn and potatoes were staple foods in the Qing Empire.

Although it is also a staple food in Vladivostok, it is also used to feed livestock. This is fundamentally different from the Qing Empire.

The livestock of the Qing Empire could only eat grass.

You can’t afford to raise a dog because there is no extra food to raise a dog.

The main food for dogs in Vladivostok is big bones. If you pour a basin of swill for them, they won’t even look at them.

Who are you looking down on!

George loves hot pot, and people in Vladivostok also love hot pot.

Vladivostok Food Company naturally regards hot pot base as an important research and development target.

Vladivostok even has sea cucumber in its name, so it is definitely not lacking in nutrients. Ginseng is naturally present, and wolfberry and jujube are definitely indispensable.

Put these things together, even if your cooking skills are not good, it will not be too unpleasant.

Ye Luoxin felt that Mi Liujing was old and had a bad stomach, so he should choose the seafood pot base.

Milyugin chose a more powerful red oil.

So the topic between the two started with the hot pot base.

“You can’t blame the Duke for talking about going south every day. The Qing Empire has so many good things that make people jealous.”

Ye Luoxin couldn't help but sigh.

It’s true that people in the city want to go out, and people outside the city want to come in.

Russians dream of going south.

The Chinese in the Qing Dynasty were thinking about it all the time -

"It is impossible for the Siberian Fleet to build a port on Jeju Island, at least until the Trans-Siberian Railway is opened to traffic, it is impossible to go south. ”

Of course Milyugin also wanted to go south, but it was unrealistic.

"That's the wrong way of the Siberian Fleet. Why can the Duke build a port on Jeju Island?"

Ye Luoxin's belief in George is basically to the point of mindless flattery.

The construction of the port on Jeju Island has begun. George took the initiative to declare that he would not use the port on Jeju Island for military purposes. The British finally found no reason to object.

If it is not used for military purposes, why are you objecting?

If even civilian ports are not allowed to be built, the Korean people will have something to say.

Goryeo wants to give Busan to the Siberian Fleet as a home port, so forget it if you object to it.

Civil ports are not allowed to be developed. Even if the sun never sets on you, it is too overbearing.

If Britain dares to make irresponsible remarks on this matter, then George will have to take the initiative to apply to go to Central Asia to ask how powerful the British Army is.

No matter how powerful the Royal Navy is, can you still drive battleships to land?

A country as big as Russia cannot be blocked.

If Great Britain dares to blockade Russia, the concubine will probably slap the crown prince in the face.

So now we know why Russia joined forces with Britain during World War I. They are all real relatives.

As for Germany.

Sorry, there are differences between relatives.

"Civilian ports and military ports cannot be confused."

Milyugin disagreed with Ye Luoxin's statement.

"Ha, so you also think that if a war really breaks out, the Duke will not allow the warships of the Siberian Fleet to enter the port of Jeju Island?"

Ye Luoxin and George are so together After a long time, he finally learned George's roundabout tactics.

Let’s not talk about the nature of the port. Let’s first solve the problem of whether there is a port, and then talk about the purpose of the port.

How did Europeans plunder wealth from all over the world?

Under the guise of trade, glass beads are exchanged for gold.

Even in the 21st century, this exchange model is essentially the same.

It wasn’t until each of the so-called industrial myths was shattered that this game finally became unplayable.

Now the Europeans are simpler. They colonize directly and simply rob them. They don't even bother to pretend.

So America is a cancer?

No, Europe is.

America is not only a descendant of the British, but of all of Europe.

With Ye Luoxin's reminder, Milyutin finally understood the meaning of a civilian port, so he became a little restless.

Such a big matter must be reported to St. Petersburg.

There is no rush to report in advance, because something more important than this has happened.

At the end of July, reinforcements from the Netherlands finally arrived in East India. Aceh senior official Hei Deng and garrison commander Hoven almost couldn't wait to launch an attack on Lansha.

Although the Dutch announced the annexation of Aceh in 1873, the Acehnese did not stop resisting. The Dutch controlled areas in Aceh were limited to large cities and transportation arteries, and there was no actual control of the inland areas. control.

Ivanov has a big stick in one hand and gold in the other, and the expansion is going smoothly.

Most plantation owners and indigenous chiefs chose to sell their plantations to Ivanov.

Occasionally, there are those who are unwilling to sell. Within a few days, the plantation will be visited by pirates, and the property will be looted. The plantation owner or chief will also be threatened by pirates. When Ivanov comes again, these planters and chiefs will know what to choose.

With Lansha as the center, the sphere of influence of the Lansha Sultanate has expanded to Medan in the southwest direction. If Godala Night does not send troops, the Dutch will rule the entire East India. All will be shaken.

Godara is the capital of the former Aceh Sultanate and now the capital of Aceh Province, located at the northwest end of Sumatra Island.

The reinforcements from the Netherlands, only 3,000 people, were not enough to defeat Lansha.

Hoving dispatched 3,000 East Indian servants from Godala, 1,500 Dutch troops from Batavia, and 5,000 East Indian servants. Together with the navy, a total of 14,000 people were dispatched.

The total strength of the Lansha Sultanate is only 3,000 -

It is now 6,000.

Although the strength of the Lansha Sultanate is growing rapidly, most of the soldiers have not been trained and cannot be used in combat. Only less than 500 people can actually be dispatched.

This also includes the pirates who retreated from Port Wei.

What's even worse is that Ivanov has no idea that the Dutch attack is coming.

On August 11, Huo Wen led the Gotala Night Force to arrive in Lanza first.

Huo Wen did not wait and immediately launched an attack on Lansha.

The members of the Lansha Sultanate have withdrawn to the inland areas, leaving Lansha undefended at all.

Huo Wen ordered the fleet to bombard Lansha.

Huo Wen was once deceived by Uma and hated the Aceh people. He would not give Li Sha another chance to deceive him, so Huo Wen issued a killing order to the Lansha Sultanate.

After the bombardment, the Dutch troops landed and invaded Lansha.

The Lansha people who survived the bombardment had no time to escape and were brutally massacred by the Dutch.

The Dutch kill anyone they see, regardless of gender, age or child, and do not spare any Lansha person.

After killing everyone, the Dutch threw the bodies into the sea. The number of victims could not be counted.

After massacring the city, the Dutch burned all the plantations around Lansha, completely destroying Lansha's economy and causing incalculable property losses.

At this time, Huo Wen knew that the Lansha Sultanate had moved to the inland areas.

Huo Wen ordered to attack the inland areas and must drive out the Lansha Sultanate.

“If my mother knew what I had done, she would never forgive me.”

Van Oppe from Eindhoven, after commanding troops to loot a plantation , said hypocritically.

When giving the order, Van Oppe did not hesitate at all.

It is not appropriate to say looting, because this plantation has been acquired by Ivanov. The plantation owner took his property to settle in the Lion City. The workers of the plantation joined the army of the Lansha Sultanate. Opie's men actually didn't grab anything.

So Van Oppe was very angry and ordered all the people of a nearby tribe to be killed as punishment for the Lansha Sultanate.

"Then don't let her know."

Helafe from Best wiped a gold bracelet stained with blood clean and put it into his pocket.

Aceh has gold mines, so gold is not rare.

It is because of this gold that it brought disaster to the Aceh people.

“It’s not our fault, it’s all those damn Russians.”

Geroen from Rotterdam has no psychological burden. He, Van Oppe and Hlafer are An officer of this East India servant army.

The officers of the East India Servant Army formed by the Dutch were all Dutch.

These Dutch people were not from a professional background. Many of them had no military experience at all before coming to East Indies. They could serve as officers only because they were Dutch.

The combat effectiveness of such a unit can be imagined.

After looting a tribe, the officers harvested gold, while the soldiers harvested only worthless things. Many soldiers even collected the clothes from the corpses, which also had some value.

If you kill someone and steal something, you will naturally destroy the body and eliminate all traces.

So Van Oppe ordered the soldiers to gather the bodies together and set them on fire.

No need to bury it.

At this time, Aceh was still very primitive. The plantations were surrounded by virgin forests. Within a few days, these corpses would be wiped out by wild animals.

"Go, go, go on!"

Van Oppe ordered the troops to continue attacking the next tribe.

Whether the tribe resists or not is not a question.

Just ask, they are all Russians.

Not long after the troops set off, Hlafe felt something was wrong. The surroundings were a little too quiet. Not even a rabbit could be seen, let alone people.

“I don’t feel very good——”

Half of Khrafe’s head suddenly exploded before he finished speaking.

Van Oppe's face was full of horror. As soon as he opened his mouth, his head exploded like Hrafe.

Jeroen was hit by several bullets at the same time, and his upper body was badly damaged.

The servant soldiers screamed and ran away, and some of them were brave enough to search for Khrafe's body.

This really costs money rather than life.

It was impossible to escape. They were surrounded by the troops of the Lansha Sultanate. The Dutch servants put down their weapons and surrendered with almost no resistance.

Although the soldiers of the Lansha Sultanate have not yet undergone complete military training, there is still no problem in fighting with this intensity.
