Chapter 919 fuck him
In two days, it was too late for a king's ceremony, but Liu Hongjian left the words here, and went their separate ways without allowing the Wandan people to refute.

Fortunately, Harold is a good talker. He needs to announce the news of the restoration of the Banten Kingdom to the Banten people as soon as possible. The Banten people have waited for this day for 80 years, and he doesn't want to wait any longer.

On August [-]th, Liu Hongjian held a conferring ceremony for Harold at the King's Palace in Banten, Batavia City. After reporting the situation in Nanyang to the imperial court two days ago, Liu Hongjian represented the suzerain state for Harold. Harold is crowned.

On the whole, the ceremony was decent, except that the palace was a bit dilapidated, the officials were a bit like beggars, the banquet was a bit unpalatable, and the order was a bit chaotic, but it was okay.

When Liu Hongjian held up the crown representing the king of Wandan Kingdom, he felt a sense of sacredness in his heart. This reminded Liu Hongjian of the scene when Napoleon refused the pope to wear the crown when he was appointed.

As a superior, he would never allow the king under his feet to disobey Daming. His eyes were deep and benevolent. Seeing Harold prostrate in front of him, he suddenly felt and said:
"Your Excellency Harold, I hope you will always remember your identity and responsibility. You are the king of the Banten people, and you shoulder the responsibility of protecting the safety of the people on this land. Glory and responsibility always coexist. Can you do it?" ?”

"I, Harold, swear on my life that I will spend my whole life working hard to protect the people from foreign invasion." Harold said humbly.

"Your Excellency Harold, I hope you will always remember your identity and responsibility. Bandan is a vassal state of Ming Dynasty. Da Ming will do what it can to help your country resist powerful enemies, but Bandan Kingdom must abide by Daming's laws and must Guarantee the safety of the Ming people on this land, can you do it?"

"The Kingdom of Wandan was restored by the Ming Empire. I, Harold, swear by my honor. The honor and disgrace of Ming Dynasty is the honor and disgrace of Wandan. Bandan will abide by the laws of Ming Dynasty, station in Nanyang for Ming Dynasty, and provide due supplies for the Ming fleet and merchant ships. and protect!"

Although I don't know why Liu Hongjian made such a short speech at the ceremony, His Excellency Harold still said loudly very seriously.

"I declare as King of Qin, Regent of the Ming Empire, and Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses, Harold, from today onwards, you are the king of the Wandan people!
Congratulations, King Harold! After Liu Hongjian finished speaking, he put the crown on Harold's head and helped him up.

"Ansai Liangmu came to Kumu." Harold bowed again to Liu Hongjian.

Harold turned around, and with a smile on his face, he said to the subjects of Wandan Kingdom and the people who came to watch the ceremony: "Ansai Liangmu came to Kumu."

Immediately, the Wandan people cheered in the dilapidated palace. Although he couldn't understand what they were saying, Liu Hongjian understood what they were happy about.

After the conferring ceremony, Liu Hongjian held a brief meeting. All the legacy of the East India Company had been shipped, except for a squadron left as the garrison navy of Batavia Harbor. The next day, Liu Hongjian He left Batavia with the fleet.

The fleet first went south to Sumatra, and then went west along the Sumatra port all the way to the Malacca Strait, but Liu Hongjian became angry as soon as he reached the Malacca Strait.

Unlike Greater Java and Luzon, the entire area of ​​Greater Java and Luzon is controlled by the Dutch, but Sumatra, Manchuria, and the Siam Peninsula are currently still under the common administration of the indigenous kingdoms, Franz, France, and the Netherlands .

Small Frangji controls North Sumatra and Da Ni Port, Big Frangji controls South Sumatra and Chenla, and France controls Champa.

Since the sea power cannot be compared with that of the Netherlands, these Europa colonists can only temporarily make good friends with the local indigenous kingdoms, just like when the Grand Franji fought in Macau on the grounds that the goods were wet and needed to be dried, they stayed at home shamelessly. The development of the indigenous territory, along with the expansion of colonial trade, slowly eroded the indigenous territory.

So much so that today's northwestern South Seas is mixed with fish and dragons, such as English, Swedes, Slavs, Norwegians, Austrians, and Italians, but not many really have their own large ports.

Many Europa merchants have no ports in their own countries, so they pay fees to trade in ports controlled by France and France. Although they have been given a share of the pie, as colonists, in addition to dumping, they also engage in robbery, and the profits are still very high. .

The Dutch had the greatest influence in Southeast Asia. In addition to controlling Luzon and Greater Java, the Netherlands also controlled Jiaodao and Malacca.

Malacca City is a seaport city. As the capital of Manchuria, it provides Manchuria with a steady stream of financial resources. There is no other answer. This is the closest route for Europa businessmen to Daming.

In contrast, Dani Port and other ports are far behind Malacca in terms of throughput and trade scale.

In addition, this is also the only place where Europa colonists go to the Spice Islands. Due to geographical reasons, Europa has a crazy persistence and desire for spices.

It is for these reasons that the Strait of Malacca has become a golden route for the Europeans to the Spice Islands and Daming. Yes, this is a route full of gold. A fully loaded merchant ship is almost equal to a full load of gold. Complementary to it, There is also the blood and tears of the oppression of the indigenous people.

The reason why Liu Hongjian was angry was because after the Dutch retreated, the Dutch colony in Malacca was actually occupied.

Moreover, there are more than one wave of forces occupying, with the big and small Franchis as the main ones, France and Sweden as the supplementary ones, and the four countries jointly divided up the original territory of the Dutch.

As a belligerent and victorious nation, Daming has the right to accept all rights and interests that originally belonged to the Dutch. Now he rushed over excitedly to continue harvesting the fruit, only to find that the fruit had been picked by someone, and he was still taking over the trading rights of Daming silk and so on. Franc machine.

How can this be tolerated?
"My lord, my elder brother said that the geographical location of Malacca City is extremely important. If our Daming wants to make money from sea trade, there is no way we can hide from Malacca City." Qi Yuanbi glanced at Liu Hongjian and said.

Qi Laosan was a full-fledged militant, and if it wasn't for his two older brothers taking care of him, he would have been unable to survive in the navy. Seeing Liu Hongjian just staring at the sea and not speaking, Qi Laosan decided to add another fire.

"You're the one who talks too much! Get back!" Qi Yuangong yelled, and Qi Laosan resentfully walked aside to look at the sea.

Although Qi Yuangong is the deputy admiral of the navy in name, he is actually the general staff and commander of this joint fleet, of course, if Liu Hongjian does not intend to intervene.

As an admiral, Qi Yuangong never thinks about problems. There are many countries in Malacca City and the surrounding countries. Although he is confident in the strength of the Daming Navy, it is very likely that Daming will become the target of public criticism if he starts a war rashly.

At this moment, everyone, including Qi Yuangong, Qi Yuanfu, Zheng Sen and others, all looked at Liu Hongjian's face.

"What are you looking at? Are you all free? Send me the fleet! Fuck it!" Liu Hongjian slammed his fist on the side of the boat.
