***************************************************

The full support of the barbarian Kama tribe located on the northeastern mountain was naturally the work of Governor Deyan. The senior executives of the East India Company had a poor view of the East Coast people, especially the vigorous and enterprising spirit shown by the country from the inside out, as well as their incredible military and industrial technical level, all made the emerging capitalist country of the Netherlands feel a dangerous message.

This country is now only tens of thousands of people, and it is already so aggressive. If they are allowed to develop for another twenty or thirty years, they will probably become an important emerging regional power. By that time, the interests of the Netherlands will be greatly threatened - especially when the East Coast people are so close to the Far East trade route that the East India Company regards as the lifeline.

What measures must be taken to curb the East Coast people? This is the consensus of the Dutch East India Company from top to bottom. Therefore, when the British East India Company was deeply involved in domestic interests and was unable to maintain Cape Town, a colony that was suffering from the East Coast people almost blatantly and was not as good as the East Coast people, the Dutch East India Company, who had a good geographical location, immediately bought the Good Hope Fort and its nearby colony from the British for a price of 100,000 pounds and became the new owner of the land.

Knowing the reason for the British's lack of tenability and the reason for their sad departure will naturally not repeat the same mistakes. They clearly proposed to the people of the East Coast in the north to stop hostile harassment, otherwise they would take revenge against the people of the East Coast. To be honest, although the people of the East Coast at this time began to emerge and continued to fight with the Spanish Peruvian colonies, the British East Coast in a small scale, their strength was still not enough in the eyes of old European countries.

They are poor domestic resources and rely heavily on foreign trade. Even though their military power cannot be underestimated, the potential for war is limited. All this makes traditional European powers such as Spain, France, the Netherlands, England, and Austria not take it too seriously. To put it bluntly, the East Coast people are not qualified to sit on the table where they share their interests. As long as they clearly express their anger to the East Coast people, they believe that the East Coast people will naturally make wise choices after comparison.

As expected, after Governor Deyang made a tactful warning to the East Coast people on behalf of the East Coast Company, within a row of six months, the so-called "Eight Banners" tribes that depended on the East Coast people never appeared on the ground in Cape Town again. It seemed that things were deviating in the positive direction, but Governor Deyang did not dare to take it lightly. As an old adventurer who had been with East Coast people for more than 20 years, he could see clearly the malice hidden under the seemingly respectful appearance of the East Coast people. He had no doubt that once the United Republic fell into some kind of dilemma, the East Coast people would immediately find the right opportunity to jump up and bite it hard, and then take away all the farms, orchards and ports they had worked hard to manage.

To this end, while strengthening the sea defense force of the port, Governor Deyang also paid enough attention to the land defense of the Good Hope Fort. He planned a series of defensive facilities on the river bank along the river bank, including prisms, forts and other buildings. He believed that after these facilities were completed, the threat of the East Coast people on land would be greatly reduced. The Dutch could rest and recuperate in the Cape Town area and wait until the accumulated strength was enough before starting to expand outward.

Of course, while strengthening one's own defense, it is normal to win over the enemies of the East Coast people to cause some trouble for them. The Kama tribe is the target of winning and supporting the Governor Deyan. What's even better is that this tribe is relatively wealthy, and working with them can also bring enough benefits to the Dutch in Cape Town.

Since the East Coast people began to carry out a large-scale indigenous extermination operation, the "Great Mopping" operation in the coastal area of ​​the southwestern corner of South Africa several years ago, it has been difficult to see neutral indigenous tribes within this area of ​​less than 20,000 square kilometers. They were either eliminated or surrendered to the East Coast people. Moreover, the East Coast people have implemented a centralized control measure for these indigenous peoples, which they call "clustering villages and garrisons", effectively controlling these indigenous tribes.

In this way, the Dutch also encountered the embarrassment faced by the British at the time, that is, they were basically playing stand-alone in the Cape Town area, and there was no tribe around, and there was a lack of trade objects. The lack of trade objects meant that they could not make a profit, which meant that the East India Company needed to continue to invest a large amount of funds here. Although the East India Company currently attaches great importance to Cape Town and provides a lot of supplies and money, if you can make a profit one day earlier, you can reduce the burden on the company one day, and it will make the company's senior management more admire him. More importantly, the more than 700 immigrants under his command were hoping that Governor Deyang could lead them to make a fortune. Even the 300 German mercenaries who received their wages were not exempted. Who would think that there was too much money in their pockets?

Just so happened that at this moment, he had already conquered several tribes of all sizes and large, and his forces came straight to the Kama tribe in the river valley on the eastern hills of Cape Town and entered the Dutch's eyes. Moreover, this tribe was the only person that the Dutch in the nearby areas could contact and trade. After careful consideration, Governor Deyang decided to take a friendly attitude towards this tribe, that is, to trade with them with goods from the old continent, on the one hand, to win them over, and on the other hand, to get some money for Cape Town through transactions.

The chief of the Kama tribe seemed to be a barbarian with some knowledge. He attached great importance to trading with the Dutch, especially the large number of muskets brought by the Dutch. They had bought some muskets from the British, and these muskets played a huge role in their war to conquer the surrounding tribes. However, due to the lack of ammunition and necessary maintenance, most of these muskets are no longer fired. Therefore, they asked the Dutch to immediately sell a large number of muskets and ammunition to them, and teach them how to maintain and repair muskets.

Governor Deyang readily agreed to the barbarians' request to buy a large number of muskets, but at the same time refused to ask them to learn maintenance and repair musket technology. He was not that stupid. He also wanted to sell more muskets to these barbarians. Wouldn't teaching them to repair muskets cut off his own financial resources?

The price of muskets sold by the Dutch to the barbarians is similar to the price of British people, that is, an old-style comb is priced for two goats, and a new flintlock fast gun is priced for a bull. Over the years, due to the powerful combat power displayed by the East Coast people and the British Royal Family Model Army in combat, the comb is slowly depreciating in Europe. The current price has dropped to 8 Dutch guilds per shot (about 3.2 yuan), while the price of flintlock has increased to a certain extent. The average price for these barbarians can basically be more than 6 times the profit.

The barbarians purchased a total of five hundred imitation surfings, one hundred flintlock guns, as well as a large number of lead bullets, flints, gunpowder and thrusters, and paid a total of 1,200 goats and one hundred South African cattle, which made Governor Deyan very satisfied. He knew that this kind of business would definitely not be a one-time business. As long as the Kama tribe was still using muskets to fight the enemy, they would continue to find the Dutch to request replenish the lost weapons and ammunition. This business was still long!

During the process of trading with the barbarians, Governor Deyang also heard a news that interest him - these barbarians had already fought with the East Coast people in the mountains and successfully repelled the East Coast people's attack. Governor Deyang did not doubt the words of these barbarians, because he once saw a guy who looked like a barbarian leader riding a tall Andalusian horse, wearing a mortar-yellow khaki uniform that was commonly seen by the East Coast army, and carrying a pair of cowhide boots on his feet. On the butt of the horse, Governor Deyang even saw the marks on it.

After learning this news, Governor Deyang obviously could not hide his excitement. After roughly learning that this barbarian tribe is likely to be able to dispatch thousands of attacking forces, he decisively decided to increase support for these barbarians. Therefore, in the winter August, the Dutch in Cape Town sent several priests to the Kama tribe deep in the Eastern valleys. On the one hand, through these priests who have mastered a lot of knowledge, they can gain the favor of the barbarians, strengthen the connection between the two sides, and at the same time "rescue" the souls of these barbarians.

Kama, the chief of the barbarian tribe, strongly suppressed the opposition from the elders and priests within the tribe and accepted the arrival of the Dutch priest. Not only that, in mid-September, he even brought a group of followers to visit the Dutch's Good Hope Castle. After returning, he was shocked and immediately decided to abandon some backward traditions and cultures and start learning from the neighboring Dutch people, including their technology, systems and languages.

At the same time, he also decided to select young and outstanding talents from the royal family, and take advantage of the current honeymoon period with the Dutch, so that they can return to the Netherlands on Dutch ships to learn everything that can be learned, including language, theology, military, agriculture, etc. For this reason, even if they need to pay hundreds of cows to the Dutch, they will be willing to do so.

Moreover, even if these royal children did not learn much in the Netherlands due to their qualifications, at least they had opened their eyes this time. After returning, they would be able to bring some changes to their tribes, reduce some ignorance, and provide some help to their upcoming reforms to the tribe. After learning this news, Governor Deyang could obviously not hide his excitement. After roughly learning that this barbarian tribe is likely to be able to mobilize thousands of attacking forces, he decisively decided to increase support for these barbarians. Therefore, in the winter August, the Dutch in Cape Town sent several priests to the Kama tribe deep in the Eastern valleys. On the one hand, through these pastors who have mastered a lot of knowledge, they can gain the favor of the barbarians, strengthen the connection between the two sides, and at the same time "rescue" the souls of these barbarians.
