African Nationhood

Chapter 305 The aftermath
  In mid-July, Xue Youfu reported that they had taken control of the Sulu Sultanate and signed the "Jolo Agreement" with Sulu Sultan Kilang II Chamaru Hiram.

The agreement stipulates:
  The Sulu Sultanate recognized the suzerainty of the Nanhua Company, and regarded the Nanhua Company as the main company and obeyed all orders of the Nanhua Company.

The Sultan is the nominal head of the Sulu Sultanate and does not have the administrative, legislative or judicial power to manage the country.

The administrative, legislative and judicial powers of the Sultanate are handed over to the Sulu Autonomous Management Council.

As the chairman of the Sulu Autonomous Management Committee, Zeng Ze is in charge of various affairs of the Sulu Sultanate and assumes corresponding rights and obligations.

Luo Yibo, the former battalion commander of Lanfang Company's garrison battalion, became the director of the Sulu Sultanate Police Department and led the Sulu Sultanate police force that was reorganized from the soldiers of the former Lanfang garrison battalion.

The Nanhua Company transferred 2 battalions of 1000 men from the Matabeleland Garrison Brigade and went to the Sultanate of Sulu to form the Sulu Sultanate Defense Force.

The leader of this force is Li Rong. After he takes office, he will also take over the Sudanese Guard of the Sulu Sultanate and select 500 elite people from them to join the Sulu Sudanese Defense Forces.

The Autonomous Management Committee will also recruit some powerful nobles from the Sulu Sultanate to join. They join mainly to fill their heads, and their actual power is not only a false title.

Zeng Ze, Luo Yibo, and Li Rong formed the core of the Sulu Sultanate's Autonomous Management Committee.

As long as the three of them do not cause chaos, the Sulu Sultanate will be as stable as Mount Tai.

……

The reception of the Mariana Islands was very smooth. After Ou Haiwa arrived in Guam by boat, the Spanish garrison officials there were overjoyed and felt relieved.

After they handed over to Nanhua Company, they enthusiastically and proactively took Ou Haiwa to other islands to take over the management rights.

After the handover was completed, the Spaniard left gracefully.

After taking over the islands, Ou Haiwa immediately contacted nearby German companies to express her willingness for peaceful coexistence and expressed the idea of ​​welcoming Germans to come and develop the islands.

Germany's Hershm and Garut companies are the economic lifeline controllers of this island area, and they have no idea about the arrival of Nanhua Company.

After all, Germany today is not as good as Britain. The Spaniards can bully them, but Nanhua Company with a British background is not easy to provoke. Besides, Nanhua Company has a good relationship with His Majesty the Kaiser.

Since Nanhua Company has expressed the intention of business as usual, it is even worse for them to do unnecessary things.

……

The education department of Nanhua Company urgently dispatched a group of normal education students to teach in the Sultanate of Sulu and the Mariana Islands.

When they get there, in addition to teaching Chinese and the Chinese language, they will also marry the Nanhua soldiers stationed there.

These personnel try to digest it internally, otherwise the soldiers' personal problems will become time bombs.

Of course, there is also soil for indigenous prostitutes in these places, but they don't look very good.

Boss Shi also informed Futong to send some Japanese women to the two places as soon as possible to solve the personal problems of the single soldiers stationed there.

The troops dispatched by the Mariana Islands rarely consisted of only one battalion, and the leader was Zheng Wangcai.

The civil administrator of the Mariana Islands is a civil servant from the Futong Immigration Bureau named Li Xi.

With the Mariana Islands, immigrants from Northeast Asia can stop and transit here in the future.

Arranging for civil servants from the Immigration Bureau to be stationed locally will also make it easier to connect.

In addition to the civil and military chiefs of the Mariana Islands Autonomous Management Committee, Ou Haiwa of the Navy will also be stationed there. He and the "Zhou Yu" will undertake the escort mission of immigration ships passing through the archipelago.

……

Before Li Rong and Zheng Wangcai took office, Boss Shi personally met with them and encouraged them to guard the country well and to strictly observe military discipline when stationed in foreign lands. They should not allow soldiers to bully local indigenous people indiscriminately, and they should not violate military discipline by taking cards at will.

Troops stationed abroad will recruit local indigenous people to join the troops, and they need to strictly control their soldiers.

There must never be any discrimination against indigenous soldiers or disrespect for the beliefs of indigenous soldiers. Such things are likely to cause alienation between indigenous soldiers and the company, and in serious cases may lead to unrest in the army. Troops cannot cause chaos, and civilian riots must be suppressed quickly and severely!
  Civilian riots in one place must not be allowed to lead to wider riots.

If their negligence ruins the company's plans, the two of them will be the sinners of Nanhua Company, and the company will never take mercy!
  The two of them felt deeply the great responsibility and expressed their determination in front of Boss Shi that they would never let down Sir Alex's trust.

……

After handling the affairs of the two major archipelagos, Shi Jintang summoned Liang Luyi, Huo Zhen, Qian Cai and others who had just been transferred from Lanfang Company.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Boss Shi adjusted the military positions in Lanfang Company.

Liang Luyi resigned from the position of battalion commander of Lanfang Company's garrison battalion and was transferred to Matabeleland garrison brigade as battalion commander.

It may seem like a normal job, but he was transferred from a non-staff job in Lanfang Company to the battalion commander of the troops directly under Lord Shi, which shows how much he is valued.

The two garrison battalion commanders who were short of men in Lanfang Company were transferred to the two battalion commanders Huo Zhen and Qian Cai from Nanhua Company.

Zhong Yilin, the president of Lanfang Company, had no objections to this, and Li Yuchang, the chief administrative officer, had some slight remarks, but under the general trend, there was no room for him to comment.

……

In August, the "Guan Yu" returned from the Sulu Islands.

Along with the ship came a large number of treasures collected from the Sulu Sultanate, including large South Sea pearls, tortoise shells, corals, ambergris, etc., which filled a large room.

Shi Jintang went over and looked at it and was dazzled. The Sulu Sultanate's accumulation over the years was pretty good.

Kelly, Ye Rong and other girls followed and were also dazzled. They were holding blue pearls as big as longan eyes and couldn't help but marvel.

Shi Jintang looked at the bird's nests and sea cucumbers placed in a corner, and couldn't help but become interested.

He called Jin Xiyue and Alice over, handed them the bird's nests, and asked them to stew them to nourish their bodies.

Jin Xiyue can naturally understand that bird's nest is a good nourishing product, and sea cucumber is more effective.

But Alice was full of curiosity about the bird's nest, "Is the swallow's saliva really that effective?"

Shi Jintang smiled awkwardly: "This thing is very rare, and the nourishing effect varies from person to person.

If you believe it, you will have it. If you don’t believe it, you won’t have it. Do you understand? "

Alice was even more confused after hearing this. She really didn't understand Eastern people's thinking.

Ye Rong, on the other hand, was very curious about bird's nests. She smiled and said, "You will know if this thing is effective after you try it. Let the people in the kitchen stew it and bring it over later."

Let's have a meal and compare them. "

Kelly is also full of curiosity about this kind of oriental food. The food made by chefs in the Qing Dynasty is much better than the dishes in Europe and the United States.

Although there are some flavors that she can't accept, in general, Easterners are better at cooking food than Western chefs.

Besides, she is pregnant, so eating more good food will be good for the baby in her belly.

I hope there will be another baby boy this time so the children will not be alone.

Shi Jintang invited Ye Rong to point at the ambergris and put it close to her ear, "It's time to order tonight. I'll go to your room to sleep tonight."

Ye Rong nodded and quietly took a large piece of ambergris in her hand...
