"Our army conquered Johor!" Liu Jingxiao looked at the news and relaxed. Zhang Hanyun said what she thought for him: "Now your alliance with the Shen family can be as stable as Mount Tai!"

Xu Rubing also rushed over from the small room next to him and said, "What good news is there..."

Liu Jingxiao pinched her slippery shoulders and said, "Xiao Diji, the old pervert, won Johor! The situation in the south is so good, we have to rush back to Jinan in advance! What a pity..."

Xu Rubing said with a bright smile: "What's the matter? I'll be satisfied if I can come out alone this time. We will be with you tonight. It's not the first time I have..."

Although Zhang Hanyun was a mature woman, she had not passed through this kind of situation. When she thought of the mischievous scene of accepting Liu Jingxiao's envy with Xu Rubing, her face turned red and she turned around and did not dare to face Liu Jingxiao.

Liu Jingxiao smiled and said, "That's good! Let's serve her together... By the way, Rubing! If you have anything to buy, hurry up before driving!"

Xu Rubing said angrily: "I still think that he is a little girl! If you have anything to buy in Shanghai, you will pay for agarwood anyway! When you arrive, the territory in the south is quite large, you can do it quickly!"

Liu Jingxiao slapped his thigh and praised: "Ru Bing is still thoughtful. I will send a telegram to Chenxiang immediately and ask him to go to Nanyang quickly!"

The Shen family estimated that the intelligence was completely different from the two worlds during this period. From Albion's joint fleet heading south, they hurriedly formed a reinforcement fleet to rush to the New South Continent, and everyone was extremely pessimistic.

However, when the Second Fleet sent troops to attack, the situation improved greatly. Now we have received news of the fall of Johor. Everyone is already addicted to the dream of defeating Albion. It was Liu Jingxiao's telegram that woke up the dreamer. Miss Shen reacted immediately: "Prepare the ship and go to Johor! Nanyang is the South Ocean of the Republic, not the South Ocean of his Second Fleet!"

The meaning of this is very obvious: "Xiao Diji! We have also put a lot of effort into conquering Johor. The Southern Squadron has almost been completely defeated, and the reinforcements have also been in a mess. Now you want to take Johor and throw away the territory with one kick, but there is no door! It is absolutely impossible to draw a board across the bridge, otherwise I will fight you to the death!"

The Shen family also has a high opinion of themselves. Now Shen Chenxiang is not only representing the Shen family at sea. Behind her is the support of the six southeastern provinces of the Republic, and Liu Jingxiao!

At this time, Xiao Diji dreamed that he would be very fond of him. He took out a pen and signed his name on the handover.

The officer Albion next to him whispered: "What time is this?...It's the seventh time! No matter how many times it is, he can make a fortune anyway!"

The entire venue was standard Albion style, with new snow-white tablecloths on the two tables. The Albion national anthem was played. Sometimes Xiaodiji would sing one or two sides, but the one that fell downward was the Albion national flag. To be right, this was the surrender ceremony, and it was the seventh surrender ceremony that Xiaodiji attended.

Xiao Diji led a joint force composed of the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet (sented by Liu Jingxiao) to advance quickly, and went straight to the Johor Fortress. Only then did he encounter strong resistance.

The fact is that this resistance was cut off from the water supply in Johor. According to the comparison of troops, the Albion army was also the attacking side. After all, on the battlefield, Xiao Diji's troops had only more than 20,000 troops, while the Albion army in Johor reached 70,000.

Although there were a large number of colonial indigenous troops, at least there were more than 10,000 authentic Albion soldiers and 20,000 Indian troops who were worth mentioning in battle. Therefore, two battalions of vanguards developed an unprecedented initiative to attack Xiaodiji, and the two sides launched fierce battles on the spot.

The dense artillery fire hit the heads of the attacking troops like raindrops. The Albion troops in red uniforms were in high morale and rushed back and forth in the positions. A battalion sent by Liu Jingxiao was finally defeated in hand-to-hand combat. The Indian troops performed the same. They rushed towards the Marines in the Second Fleet, and quickly occupied the front line of positions through the artillery fire.

Xiao Diji personally led the troops to fight back, especially the battle at the central position fell into a fierce attitude. Both sides repeatedly charged back and forth, and in just two hours, both sides changed hands as many as seven times.

The Albion people lined up in a matrix, pointing the bayonets forward, and maintaining the front line with their unique discipline. Officer Albion shouted: "Don't be afraid of Albion soldiers! In our battle with the mountain people, the barbarians had big swords in their right hand, daggers in their left hand, and small golden round shields were tied to the back of their hands, but we relied on the tight formation and strict discipline to kill the enemy. What is this kind of battle!"

However, in the afternoon of that day, the attack of six battalions of the colonial indigenous troops was repelled by the defenders of the two battalions of the Third Fleet. The defenders then picked up bayonets and rushed into the formation of the indigenous troops. The entire left wing announced collapse. The indigenous troops left behind everything they could throw away and fled back frantically. The defenders then assaulted the flanks. As a result, the Indian troops were also threatened and forced. Then Xiaodiji could concentrate his troops against Albion's troops.

The 1st Battalion of the Royal Queen's Corps was mostly injured and killed before the dense sea of ​​people and was forced to retreat. The 1st Battalion of the Bafos Corps was completely destroyed. The 1st Battalion of the Royal Hampshire Regiment suffered most of the losses except for some personnel breaking through the siege. The 2nd Battalion of the Royal Scottish Corps was annihilated within the encirclement. The 1st King's Dragon Cavalry Regiment of the Guards and the 2nd Battalion of the Wiltshire Regiment were mixed with losses...

These Albion troops performed very well, and their casualties were as heavy as those for the enemy. Even at the last moment of the battle, there was still a company of Albion people holding bayonets under dense artillery fire and shouting: "Long live the queen!" They rushed towards a whole regiment of large troops and taught the Republican soldiers a good lesson with their shiny bayonets.

The colonial troops lost 3,000 people in a day, but there were less than 200 casualties in the battle. Most of the troops either collapsed or were captured. The Indian troops and other colonial troops performed quite well, and nearly a thousand casualties were paid...

However, within one day, the Royal Army actually paid two thousand casualties, which was the best Albion troops... Both sides praised this Albion army, but Albion himself said something a bit of a bragging element: "If it weren't for the indigenous troops leaving everything behind and running away, we would have wiped out Xiao's troops with the Albion troops..."

But Xiao Diji was also beaten and suffered 3,000 casualties in one day. Although the vast majority of losses came from the Shen family troops arranged on the front line, the losses on this day were too heavy, so Xiao Diji had to say: "If the people of Albion fought as hard as they are today, it would take a hundred years for us to win Johor!"

In fact, it only took one day. The Albion lost the most elite troops, which had a fatal impact on morale. The Albion people who had cut off the water were discussed. The fortress in Johor was designed based on sea defense, and all the muzzles were aimed at the sea surface, or in other words, these countless giant cannons could not deal with the enemy troops attacking behind them. The small Johor stuffed more than 70,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians who had retreated, and now they were in chaos.

During this period, some of the officers and prisoners of Albion took the initiative to ask for a messenger to travel between the two sides. At noon the next day, Xiaodiji received an incredible news: "The Albion announced his surrender..."

Of course, Albion's gentlemen did not think so. Their statement was "Classification of Johor as an unprepared city". In the afternoon of the same day, Xiao Diji's attitude suddenly became tough and shouted loudly at the negotiating table: "You only have one way to choose, that is, unconditional surrender! We will protect the legitimate rights and interests of all soldiers and civilians from being violated, and protect the legitimate interests of Queen Albion in the Far East!"

The next day, the Albion people lined out of the city and walked collectively towards the prisoner camp.

After the surrender ceremony, Xiao Diji couldn't even laugh, although he thought he was absolutely sure to capture Johor, although not now - the troops suffered a lot of casualties and were seriously insufficient in logistics support. After yesterday's intensive artillery of all troops, each cannon had only two to three shells, and the soldiers were seriously insufficient in the bullets.

But he had a steady stream of supplies. Just today, the three battalions of the Third Fleet in the rear began to land. The two battalions drawn from Luzon also arrived at the battlefield, and the supplies were being continuously transported. During this period, as long as the Albion people did not receive support, he could guarantee to take Johor in half a month, but not now!

Therefore, Xiao Diji, who has the gentlemanly demeanor of Albion, has a long reminiscent of the surrender ceremony, so he held six "--transfer ceremony" at the site of the surrender ceremony. Xiao Diji is always immersed in happiness. Of course, Albion's gentlemanly demeanor is indeed well-deserved. All Albion officers who participated in the handover ceremony will be promoted to the third level, with preferential living benefits and can move freely. How successful is it to watch himself take over the surrender table from a bunch of Albion Marshals and the general.

Of course, the business will not be delayed. He even took a fancy to the East Indies of the Netherlands. At the meeting, he said: "Brother! I know how much the Netherlands can get from the East Indies? A full 800 million gulf! 800 million! For the gulf of Netherlands, we must take down the East Indies... and..."

It’s a pity that just half an hour after he finished speaking, Miss Shen had already arrived in Johor on a new steam speedboat. The first sentence he said was: “We have suffered too much this time. I hope Commander Xiao can help us recover part of the losses…”

There is never a shortage of negotiating tables, just pay back the money on the spot. Xiao Diji immediately said: "Okay! We will subsidize military expenses of 100,000 yuan!"

Shen Chenxiang smiled and said, "My heart and I have discussed it. The Second Fleet did make another great contribution for the Republic this time. We considered it. This time, just East Indies, Johor, Guawa..."

Shen Chenxiang offered a price all over the sky, and just wanted to leave Taiwan. Xiao Diji was so angry that he couldn't even pay back the money: "Then why are we working so hard?"

"My heart and I have discussed subsidies for your military expenditure of 200,000 yuan!" Chen Chenxiang was indeed generous, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she was twice as much as Xiao Diji.

Xiao Diji was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "No, no, no! We won the Johor down!"

Chen Chenxiang immediately caught the grammatical problem: "It should be the joint battle between our two families! Our Shen family's troops attacked in Johor but rushed to the front!"

"But we sent troops at the most critical moment! And we achieved the most brilliant results!"

It is hard to tell when discussing the issue with a woman: "Don't say that, whether at sea or on land, our Shen family has the greatest losses, the most casualties, and the most sacrifices! And in terms of the results of the battle, our side will never be less than yours!"

"Besides, if we hadn't restrained the main force of Albion's Navy in the south, how could we easily take Johor..."

Xiao Diji could only grit his teeth for a moment. The sheer agarwood was the standard to take advantage of others' danger. Now it is the key to conquer the Nanyang. Without the Shen family's participation in the war, the Second Fleet could continue to develop southward, but its strength would definitely be greatly reduced. The Shen family had already saved the New Continent of the South and could completely cross the bridge to reach an agreement with the Albion people, so that the Second Fleet would fight alone in Nanyang.

Therefore, whether Chenchenxiang comes out early or late, the price will never be so ruthless. However, Xiao Diji gritted his teeth and did not let go. The two sides had to discuss slowly, but the preparations for continuing to develop an offensive in Nanyang did not relax for a moment.

Liu Jingxiao gave Chen Chenxiang the greatest assistance in this regard. After all, he controlled the huge continental power of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the seven provinces. No matter which side he stood, he could summon the wind and rain. Some people in the Shen family originally opposed the alliance with Liu Jingxiao, but now they shut up.

However, when Liu Jingxiao returned to Jinan, she happened to meet a representative of the Songjun Liuhua Town, the old town of Henan, waiting for his news. Director Xiong of the Military Horse Statistics Bureau also sent the latest information from Henan as soon as possible.

The representative of Liu Huazhen patted his chest and said, "Now our army commander wants wind, wind, rain, and rain. Those Shaanxi guys will not last long. All parties also support us, such as Yan Governor Yan of Shanxi, Zhang Bushuai, and Chen Yunshuai of Yueyang, all agree with Yue Zhonglin's step down."
