The Sultan of Boni Kingdom sat in the main seat. He was wearing a robe made of silk and sat cross-legged on a silk cushion. It can be seen that the robe and cushion on his body were all silks from the Ming Dynasty. There was also a cushion next to the main table, with a blonde and blue-eyed Westerner sitting on it. On both sides of the lower seat were more than ten kings and tribal leaders.

It can be seen that they have been sitting here for a long time. Because the wine pot in front of them is almost empty. This also means that the meeting is coming to an end.

I heard the Sultan say, "Mr. Julio, now you have seen it, and everyone has reached a consensus. Now you should talk about what can you support us?"

As Liu Pei guessed, Julio was just a common representative sent by Westerners. These Westerners were simply unwilling to lose the entire Southeast Asia. Moreover, the initiative in trade was also held by Liu Pei, and they had to accept Liu Pei to collect taxes from them. At the same time, Liu Pei also had the right to price bulk products, which was even more annoying!

Although Liu Pei did not raise prices unlimitedly, the price of products given to Westerners by Liu Pei, who was short of money and crazy, was definitely not low. In the past, these Westerners took advantage of the shortcomings of domestic businessmen's inconsistency and pushed the prices very low with all their might.

However, now bulk goods are managed by Liu Pei, so the prices have also risen slightly. This has made domestic merchants make a lot of money, so those maritime merchants are depressing to Liu Pei.

These Westerners are unwilling to lose so much interest, so they are trying to regain the pricing power of Southeast Asia and goods in private. However, after careful judgment, they have low hopes of winning if they fight against Liu Pei! Because after all, Liu Pei is fighting on the local level and can be supplemented at any time.

Moreover, when the war occurs, commercial trade will be completely broken. This has a great impact on everyone's interests. Therefore, the British proposed a way to use local natives to attack Liu Pei. The Dutch were responsible for implementing the plan. After all, the Dutch have been entrenched in Java for many years and are most familiar with the local situation.

So Julio was commissioned by several parties to sneak into Java to contact the kings and tribal leaders. At this time, Liu Pei's army was in the process of expanding operations.

They just had the advantage of the jungle land advantage that they resisted Liu Pei's attack! If they were in the plains, they would have been completely defeated.

When Julio found the Boni Sultan, he proposed that it could help them train troops and militias to provide some of the ordnance. This request was immediately allowed. The two sides were considered an informal alliance.

For a long time afterwards, Julio produced many smoothbore guns with the help of the Netherlands and Britain's gathering points in India, and sold them all to various tribes at low prices. He also sent several officers to help them train their troops and improve their combat effectiveness!

During this process, the trust between the two sides became greater and greater. In the end, Julio finally promoted the cooperation of the alliance. Their strategy and tactics were very simple, which was to concentrate all their strength and use the number to overwhelm each other! After all, the natives are not good at brains, and they can't complete the slightly more complicated plan!

Julio looked at the dozens of people in front of him and felt a sense of accomplishment! After his difficult mediation, as of today, they finally completed all the negotiations and decided to form a formal alliance! After all, it was too difficult to coordinate people from more than a dozen countries and tribes!

Especially these people are very short-sighted! They actually started discussing how to distribute spoils without victory! They even argued with each other! But once they needed to contribute their efforts, and when they were needed, they would refuse in every way, fearing that they would suffer losses!

Thinking of this, Julio couldn't help but snorted in his heart! These stupid natives are still thinking about controlling this land, how is that possible? When they defeat the Ming people, it's our turn to return here again!

However, Julio did not show his thoughts. He stood up and shook the Sultan and the leaders: "Tomorrow, two ships will be secretly docked. They will bring food, 1,000 muskets and enough gunpowder and lead bullets. These are all given to you for free!"

The people here were very satisfied and laughed. Julio said loudly in laughter: "You can rest assured that we will continue to support everyone's actions to defend the country and will continue to provide you with necessary supplies!"

His words

It sparked even greater cheers! Just as these native leaders were about to discuss how to allocate muskets, the Sultan waved his hand and said, "Almighty Allah is above, now we are going to make an eternal oath! I know what you want to say, but don't forget our initial plan, all musketmen will be used together."

When everyone heard the Sultan say this, they muttered and sat down to start the final ceremony. That was to turn blood into the alliance.

Because some of the people here do not believe in Islam, they use the oldest way of oath, which is to drip blood in the fire and recite the oath. So everyone drips their own blood in the flames, and then this covenant is completely established.

After wiping his fingers, the Sultan said, "Since the covenant has been reached, please go back and prepare! Fifteen days later, we will start a war against the pirates and drive them out of the sea!"

Everyone shouted loudly after hearing this, as if victory was right in front of him. Julio looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction. He was already fantasizing about becoming the governor!

After receiving the plan signed by Liu Pei, Sun Qi immediately gathered a large number of officers to discuss how to implement the plan. The fast-moving officers quickly turned the big plan into a specific plan and issued orders according to different contents.

In the evening, orders were issued from the castle like flowing water. The soldiers who had already mobilized to wait for the orders immediately set off with the allocated information after receiving the order.

There is not much cement stored on Java Island now, so these cements are all sent to large forts. All other small forts are made of wood and rammed earth. Anyway, I don’t expect those small forts to last forts.
Chapter completed!
