When news of the signing of the Paris Agreement spread back to Borneo, there was an uproar in Borneo.
It is estimated that even everyone in Lanfang Company did not expect it to be so smooth. The colonial authorities were even more unbelievable, and the local aborigines were even more at a loss.
Regardless of whether it is unbelievable or at a loss, we must accept the fact that the Dutch colonial government will not be universally recognized internationally from now on.
The conscious colonial government immediately began to divide within itself.
Some Chinese people who were originally responsible for Kapitan and sided with the Dutch at the beginning of the war began to seek contact with Lanfang Company. Of course, Lanfang Company was happy to accept it, but whether they would settle the score later was another question, unless they could show enough sincerity.
.
More Dutch people began to consider withdrawing to Europe. For them, Borneo is no longer a paradise for adventurers. When the Dutch lost their legally superior status, Lanfang Company even gave the Dutch equal competition.
In terms of status, the Dutch have no advantage at all.
Hundreds of years of being superior have weakened the competitiveness of the Dutch to the extreme. They have become accustomed to using simple and crude methods to plunder the wealth of the Chinese, and the adventurous spirit and hard work of their ancestors have been completely lost.
The colonial army collapsed almost overnight. Anyone can see that the Dutch are at the end of their rope. If they do not consider surrendering to the Lanfang Company, they will consider moving to British Malaya, Australian Papua and other places.
.
For immigrants from Borneo, the Malays and Australians simply accepted them with open arms. At this time, the population had not yet reached the stage of the big explosion. The awareness that population is wealth is deeply rooted in the people, so the Malays and Australians did not reject immigrants.
, the more the merrier.
Lanfang Company did not stop this. All ethnic groups in the world need fresh blood. Only the Chinese do not need it. The population base of the Chinese is large enough. If you need new blood, just immigrate from the Republic of China. As many as you need.
Even in order to facilitate the relocation of the aboriginal people, the various troops under the Lanfang Company have been working hard to give the local aboriginal people enough time to relocate.
At the same time, various rumors about how cruel the Lanfang Company was and how miserable the people were under the Lanfang Company spread rapidly, almost reaching the point where everyone knew it, so more aborigines from Kalimantan, Sumatra, Guinea Island, joined in.
The migrating army.
Especially in Sumatra, more than half of the indigenous people here moved to Malaysia and the Lion City within ten days. Among those who remained, except for those who were indifferent to current affairs, they were those who really couldn't leave their homeland. They had already
It's up to fate. If Lanfang Company is really as cruel as the rumors say, then even if they die, they will die in their hometown.
Based on their experience in contact with the Chinese, the Chinese race has never been cruel.
This situation is almost the same in Guinea and Kalimantan. The reason why Sumatra is special is because the Lanfang Company's troops have not even landed on Sumatra.
In Guinea Island and Kalimantan, Lanfang Company's troops have landed and are advancing with great momentum.
From early January to mid-February, almost within a month and a half, the seemingly stable Dutch colonial government in Borneo, which had lasted for hundreds of years, collapsed. The Lanfang Company occupied all of Borneo and the Netherlands called it the Netherlands.
The land of East India became the owner of this 1.9 million square kilometers of land.
At the end of February, the First Borneo National Congress was held in Surabaya, Surabaya, and the meeting reached several controversial consensuses.
First of all, from now on, the former Dutch East Indies, which the Chinese call Borneo, will be officially renamed the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, with Surabaya as its capital.
Secondly, the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang invited Qin Zhiyuan to serve as King of Lan Fang, and at the same time established a legislative group to draft a constitution and decided that all rights of the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang belonged to the cabinet. The leader of the cabinet was called the Prime Minister, and the first Prime Minister was Huang Bohan.
again
Not once again, when the topic entered the second item, it immediately aroused great controversy.
Those who raised objections were representatives of the Beiyang government and the Chinese Kapitan who defected to the Grand Duchy of Lanfang after the signing of the Paris Agreement.
Representatives of the Beiyang Government requested that the Lanfang Grand Duchy follow the Beiyang Government's lead, recognize the suzerainty status of the Republic of China, and request the Beiyang Government to send personnel to manage the government affairs of the Lanfang Grand Duchy.
Diplomatic administration and other aspects of affairs.
How is this possible?
Huang Bohan responded directly with one sentence: We don’t trust the Beiyang government’s ability to govern.
There is really no trust. Looking at the Republic of China, which has been reduced to a mess, the ability of the Beiyang government to govern is evident.
What's more, during the Lanfang Company's uprising, the Beiyang government had almost no substantial support for the Lanfang Company. Even in the initial stage of the Lanfang Company's uprising, the Beiyang government's representatives were more inclined to the Dutch colonial government. This
The dignitaries of the newly reborn Lanfang Grand Duchy could no longer tolerate the Beiyang government.
Not to mention that the Beiyang Government followed suit, allowing representatives of the Beiyang Government to attend the meeting was considered to be of the same origin and species.
As for those Chinese Kapitans who only took refuge in the Grand Duchy of Lan Fong after the signing of the Paris Agreement, these are a group of people who are ignorant of current affairs. They do not know how to reflect now, but instead make political demands. This is a lack of life and death.
It is true that they are ignorant of current affairs. If they were aware of current affairs, when the Lanfang Company first started to revolt, they would not have followed the colonial government. Not to mention advancing and retreating with the Lanfang Company, at least they should have maintained a neutral and wait-and-see attitude.
Look at the representatives from the Lion City of Singapore. Although they did not directly participate in the uprising of Lanfang Company, they never succumbed to others in donating money and materials. They also made their voices heard to support Lanfang Company through various channels. Now although Lanfang Company
The company was transformed into the Republic of Lan Fang, but the representatives from the Lion City did not take any credit and did not express any opinions on the specific affairs of the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang. They just quietly played the role of spectators. This is how smart people behave.
way.
So a vigorous liquidation began immediately. The objects of liquidation were not only the indigenous and Chinese Kapitans who had oppressed the Chinese in the previous colonial era, but also the Dutch who had retreated.
The blood of Chinese people, even in absentia, will be pronounced by the newly established Supreme Court.
At this time, the judgment does not need to be very precise. It is the right way to vent the anger that has been accumulated for hundreds of years in the hearts of the Chinese people as soon as possible, and then focus on developing themselves.
But the grievances and anger that had accumulated for hundreds of years could be vented by issuing hundreds of death sentences. Some extreme Chinese turned their attention to the indigenous residents and Dutch descendants who had no time to escape.
Within the next week, several or hundreds of Chinese attacks against aborigines occurred in the Grand Duchy of Lanfang. No one knows the specific number because the Lanfang authorities destroyed all official information. There is no such thing as
During the confidentiality period, no inspection is possible.
What is certain is that the attacks against the aboriginal people involved all areas of the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang, because just a week later, the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang declared that the country was once again in a state of emergency. This state had been lifted half a month ago, and the emergency
Public security management regulations were promulgated to protect the aboriginal people of Lanfang Principality to a certain extent.
Immediately, dozens of working groups rushed to all parts of the country to prevent attacks against indigenous people from happening again.
But it was too late at this time. According to the census at the end of February, the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang had a total population of 3.7 million, and the local aborigines were less than 300,000, making them a standard ethnic minority.
In the next six months, the aborigines who had fled into the mountains and forests due to the war began to return home, but the number of local aborigines never exceeded 500,000. In the increasing wave of Chinese immigrants, the aborigines were completely marginalized.
No sizable force has ever been formed again.
The population census at the end of February included new immigrants from Malaya and the southeastern provinces of the Republic of China, as well as local Chinese in Lanfang.
Only then did the leaders of Lanfang Grand Duchy know that there were more than 1.5 million Chinese living in the land of Lanfang Grand Duchy, and a considerable number of them were black households, and many more were descendants of intermarriage between Chinese and locals.
, they did not dare to reveal their identity during the colonial period and were classified as locals.
The situation is completely different now. Anyone who has anything to do with the Chinese will immediately recognize their Chinese identity. Even those pure locals, as long as they can speak a few words of Chinese, must get involved with the Chinese no matter how roundabout. So again
Nearly a million locals with one-quarter Chinese ancestry, or one-eighth, or even one-sixteenth and thirty-second Chinese ancestry appeared. These people were also accepted by the Grand Duchy of Lanfang and became Lanfang.
Part of the Grand Duchy of Fang.
Chinese finally became the only official language of the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang. Although Dutch and Javanese were not banned from use, they no longer had any status. The texts in newspapers were in Chinese, decrees issued by government departments were in Chinese, and school education was in Chinese.
If you are not proficient in Chinese, you will not be able to get any position in the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang. Even the salespersons in the stores will pretend not to understand Dutch and Javanese and refuse to do transactions. Although there is no explicit regulation against Dutch and Javanese, it is applicable everywhere.
It can be seen that there is no need to emphasize it deliberately.
Because of Qin Zhiyuan's French nature, the status of French in the Grand Duchy of Lanfang has risen. The reason for this is of course because Qin Zhiyuan is also French, and the more reason is because the members of the umbrella company who have returned to the Grand Duchy of Lanfang are more or less familiar with it.
A few words in French.
Yes, as soon as the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang was established, the Umbrella Company announced its return to the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang. Those who arrived in the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang with the Umbrella Company were the ambassadors of Britain, France, the United States and other countries to the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang.
From this reaction speed, we can see the attitude of countries around the world towards the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang. They almost couldn't wait to announce their recognition of the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang and seek to establish ambassadorial-level diplomatic relations with the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang.
Even Crown Prince William, who is in jail, is calling on Germany and the Grand Duchy of Lanfang to establish relations as soon as possible.
Well, although the Republic of China represented by Qin Zhiyuan was at war with France and Germany, the Grand Duchy of Lanfang did not declare war with Germany.
This is really messy
However, Qin Zhiyuan, who had already become a French citizen and also had the nationality of the Republic of China, was invited to serve as the king of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, which did not cause any ripples in Europe.
Europe has this tradition. If the country does not have a person whose authority can be universally recognized, then someone from other countries will be invited to serve as the king of the country.
This situation has happened in the United Kingdom, Russia, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, etc. To be continued.
