Chapter 45: The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom people got the Port of St. Johns and Durban Port without any effort.

The French stabbed from behind, cut off the logistics supplies of the Natal Shepston Army.

In April, after Robinson's several rescue operations failed, Shepstong and his remnants, who were attacked by the Zulu and the French, were all wiped out by Yu Durban.

The Zulus became the masters of Natal again.

The ambitious Robinson not only failed to help his British Empire unify South Africa, but could only watch the beautiful Natal colony of the British Empire lost from his own hands. Robinson was unwilling to accept that the British Empire was even more furious.

However, what happened next in Natal made the British Empire's political corporal and his minion Robinson swallow their broken teeth into their own stomachs.

Because they never expected that after the French were divided into Durban Port, a strategic location, and they did not stay in Durban for a long time, they handed over the Durban Port to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom people.

The "Zulu evil thief" Mpande, who had already worn the same pair of pants as the French, had a very tacit understanding with the French on this issue. It seemed that in order to enhance the legality of the French who gave Durban to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this "Zulu evil thief" had not forgotten to learn from the "Basutou evil thief" Mo Shushu, who "shamelessly" followed behind the butt of the French and signed the Durban loan bill.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom people had no effort to get the Port of St. Johns and Durban Port without any effort.

But in the view of the unhappy and uncomfortable British Empire politics and Robinson, these two things happened in fact, were tricks played by the French and Bastu, and were to tie the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom people together.

Since the outbreak of a full-scale war between Britain and France, as French people who have so-called deep friendship with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they have been hoping that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom people can directly intervene in this war as soon as possible.

Of course, the British, who were not stupid, could see clearly this clearly. Therefore, since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom people were still keen on maintaining neutrality, the British Empire's political affairs had to be wronged for the time being and would never go to the French trap.

Of course, after taking advantage of the British Empire, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, had never closed the room and had fun alone, but gave the British Empire some face.

When he met the British Empire's ambassador to China, he repeatedly reiterated that everything happened was purely accidental, and he had no idea of ​​gaining any benefits in South Africa, etc. Needless to say, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also came forward to persuade the Basudo and Zulu people who claimed to form a coalition force and swear to drive the British out of the Cape to death, and finally made the British, Basudo and Zu sit together calmly.

For all this, Matius Pretorius, who is so close to you, is naturally looking at it.

He truly understood one thing that the Chinese with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as a powerful backer could not afford to offend them. If his republic wants to survive forever in this crowded world, he must rely on these hardworking, kind and particularly fearless Chinese people.

The Orange people, who were originally beaten to pieces in a great war, also realized the broad mind of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom when the smoke of the war completely dissipated.

After signing a peaceful agreement with the Basudo people, after vigorous persuasion and patient coordination from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, in a short time, the Basudo people and them re-specified the boundaries of the two countries in a fair and friendly manner acceptable to both sides.

Later, in order to enable them to get out of the trauma of war as soon as possible, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom provided free assistance to them with a large number of urgently needed materials, and began to persuade a large number of Chinese people to enter Transvaal and help them develop their economy, just like supporting the Basudo people.

In June 1867, Transvaal, two white republics of Bull, Orange, and Basudo, Zulu, and Peddy, and Venda, who had been hostile to each other for thirty years, finally formed a solid defense alliance for the first time for the sake of common interests and security.

It was also at the end of this year that on the north bank of the Orange River, a sparsely populated unmanned area between the British Cape Colonial and the Boer Republic of Orange, gathered more than 20,000 Chinese people one after another. Since most of the Chinese who moved here to engage in production came from Jiangxi, this emerging town was named "Hongdu".

No one at that time would have thought that this barren land that was bought by the Chinese for only 2,000 pounds was nearly a hundred square miles. It was originally a barren land where rabbits did not shit. Under its butt, there was a large area of ​​abundant diamond deposits.

Of course, Lin Haifeng and his comrades would not not know this secret, but given the extreme situation in the world, they have not revealed this big secret today to the world.

Therefore, in South Africa, the only thing that can attract the attention of the British is the gold mine in Pretoria.

Although there are Red Navy fleets stationed in the Port of St. Johns and Durban, and although Transvaal, Orange, Basutau and Zulu have also signed common defense agreements, as the war progresses, the current trend is no longer comparable to the past.

In order to win Durban, Lin Haifeng could send a secret power to Kolkata, and lead part of the Far East fleet of France to South Africa and complete a raid of thousands of miles.

However, by November 1868, the Allies' strength in the Indian Ocean was far inferior to the Allies. On the African continent, the Allies' army headed by the British Empire showed a sweeping force of sweeping across thousands of troops.

There is no need to mention the large areas of Africa, just talking about South Africa and its surrounding areas.

The sloppy British not only had themselves taken Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and Mozambique in the north of Transvaal, but also "selflessly" helped the Spanish and Prussians to create the colonies of Western West Africa (now Angola) and Piposian Southwest Africa (including Namibia, Kalahari, Begina and other places), and the South African alliances such as Transvaal, Orange, Basudo and Zulu were completely under the oppression of the Allied Army.

Due to the consideration of the overall strategy and the constraints of the current overall strength of the Red Navy, the current Red Navy's power stationed in South Africa is not enough to cope with a real war.

Lin Haifeng was really afraid that something would happen in South Africa immediately. After all, there were hundreds of thousands of creatures from the Heavenly Dynasty there! a!~!
