1890 King of Southeast Asia

It was already dark, and Liu Yiming could only travel in the dark. The night in the tropical rainforest was full of dangers. Fortunately, Liu Yiming was walking on the road. Even so, it was already two or three o'clock in the morning when he arrived in Sishui.

Liu Yiming hurried to the Chen family in Sishui. The heads of various families in Sishui were here, waiting anxiously. From time to time, someone stuck his head out to see if Liu Yiming had come.

"Here I come, I'm back!" Yang Wenjie stuck his head out and saw Liu Yiming rushing in.

The hall was boiling, and everyone rushed to Liu Yiming.

"Uncles, don't panic, the sun is hanging there, and the sky won't fall!" Liu Yiming said soothingly.

The group entered the hall and sat down, looking at Liu Yiming eagerly. Chen Jiangtao asked first: "Yiming, how is the team training?" His tone was full of expectation.

"Uncle Chen, everything went well, smoother than expected. They all understood what I said, and everyone has learned to shoot." Liu Yiming did not report the worry directly.

"Uncle Chen, what's wrong with the natives? Tell me. If we want to fight, we still need detailed intelligence." Liu Yiming asked instead.

"Yesterday morning, the spies sent out saw that the Hassan tribe did not hunt or sacrifice, but sent a lot of people out and scattered around. In the afternoon, some people who obviously did not belong to the Hassan tribe came in and out."

"The spies felt bad and came back to report. We couldn't come up with an idea, so we asked you to come back. It's good that everything went well. We don't have to be afraid of the natives anymore!" Chen Jiangtao was quite proud.

"How long will it take for the natives to take action?" Liu Yiming asked again.

"Well..., the natives are scattered, and the Hassan tribe wants to gather the natives around. It will take three to five days to gather the natives. It will take at least five days to balance the conflicts between the tribes!" Chen Jiangtao said uncertainly.

Liu Yiming frowned, thought for a while, and said to Chen Jiangtao.

"At present, I have more than 700 people under my command, all of whom have fired 20 bullets, and there are four cannons. It is no problem to defeat the natives, and it is no problem to defend the city!" Liu Yiming emphasized the accent on the four words "defend the city".

Everyone present was not stupid, and they immediately heard the implication of Liu Yiming. The Dutch were the biggest enemy, and the Dutch would not let other armed forces take charge of the city defense.

"Yiming, is there any other way?" Chen Jiangtao asked tremblingly.

"Yes. And I can guarantee that at least I can deter the natives and make them dare not act rashly!" Liu Yiming said firmly. At this time, the people in the hall had lost confidence, and Liu Yiming wanted to give them the last confidence!

"But Uncle Chen, our enemies have never been natives!" Liu Yiming said loudly in the hall.

There was still silence in the hall, and no one spoke.

"Even if we get through this, as long as the Dutch are still here, they can start a riot with the natives at any time if they want, and even the Dutch will be there themselves!"

"You are silent, are you afraid? Or is someone taking a chance?" Liu Yiming said.

"To get through this, once our guns and cannons are exposed, will the Dutch sit back and watch?"

"I'm afraid that as soon as we beat the natives, the coastal artillery will fire at us."

"Our only way to survive is to drive the Dutch away!" After saying that, Liu Yiming looked at Chen Jiangtao.

"It's easy to say, the Dutch are not as good as the natives, can we win?" A middle-aged man said in the corner of the hall.

"Well said, if we want to fight, we have to win. The Dutch are not invincible. They have lost to the British, the French, and Zheng Chenggong. Why should we be afraid of them? It's a knife to stick your head out, and it's a knife to hide your head. Why not take a gamble?"

"I have a 50% chance of taking Sishui!" Liu Yiming said excitedly.

"Go ahead, do it!" Chen Jiangtao responded.

"We have been bullied for too long and are old. When we encounter things, we think about hiding if we can, and spending money to avoid disaster if we can't hide. But today is different. People not only want money, but also life!"

"Go ahead and do it. No matter what the result is, it's better than sitting and waiting to die!" Chen Jiangtao looked around and said to Liu Yiming.

………………

After the Chen family meeting, Liu Yiming got the command and dispatch rights of Sishui. All Chinese and Chinese materials were uniformly allocated. Liu Yiming quickly asked each family to concentrate all highly educated talents again. Send a message to the barracks, everything is as usual!

After that, Liu Yiming went to rest and slept for three hours. Charles came at about eight o'clock.

"Liu, we received news that the Dutch are going to take action. How is your plan going?" Charles was a little anxious. He didn't want Liu Yiming to be defeated at one blow. At least he wanted to cause damage to the Dutch.

"Very smooth, I can already control all the Chinese forces in Surabaya. Victory is in sight!" Liu Yiming chuckled.

"Well, I wish you good luck. I came here to tell you two bad news. The first one has been told to you. The second one is that we are leaving." Charles said.

"So soon?" Liu Yiming was mentally prepared, and in his plan, the British must leave!

"Yes, the ship has been repaired, the supplies are complete, and we need to return to the port. I wish you good luck, my dear friend." Charles held back for a long time, and it can be seen that he was a little emotional.

"Bon voyage my friend, this time is very special, I have to deal with a lot of things now, otherwise my life will be in danger, looking forward to seeing you next time!" Liu Yiming sighed and said.

"I'm looking forward to it too. May God bless you!" Charles said, and then he left.

In the afternoon, the instructor also left. Fortunately, at least they had learned how to fire guns and cannons, and a few people had learned how to aim cannons.

In the same afternoon, the Chinese glass workshops and blacksmith shops in the entire Sishui Port were operating at full capacity. Now everyone knew that the city had been sealed and the natives were about to attack the city. With a backbone, most people could do things in a panic.

At this time, in the inner city of Sishui, where the Dutch lived, the highest commander of Sishui, Major Henry Bruno, was talking to the Sishui government official.

"It seems that those yellow monkeys have already known about it. They are very active and nervous." The government official said.

"It doesn't matter. They can't get in, let alone run away. When the natives rush in, their wealth will be ours!" Henry didn't care much.

I hope so... The government official thought in his heart.

At night, the weather was a bit sultry, which was a sign of rain. Liu Yiming stayed in the underground production base, and the underground base started production again! Moreover, after adding equipment and manpower, the output was increased.

Sure enough, it rained that night, but it was not a heavy rain, but a drizzle. After a while, the rain stopped and the moon came out, but the weather was still very stuffy.

On the first day after the meeting, the sun came out, and everyone was proceeding in an orderly manner according to the plan, producing, training, inquiring about information, and doing everything.

On the second day, the sun was shining, and the storm did not come. This southern hemisphere island near the equator seemed to have escaped a disaster.

On the second day, Liu Yiming went to the camp again. This time he was doing a pre-battle reorganization. He picked out the seven best squads to form a reinforced platoon, and the remaining nine guns were reinforced to the artillery. Others were given spears.

On the third day, Liu Yiming decided to launch the attack, so that he could give the Dutch a time difference.

During this time, the Dutch had already mobilized nearly 200 people into the inner city. There were only more than 100 guards in the barracks outside the city, but there were fortifications and obstacles, plus artillery batteries. Outside the inner city, there were more than 300 colonial troops on the shore, and five more in the sea, totaling more than 300 people. A sailing ship requires more people.
