It was not the first time that Tep Stone represented his brother, Shep Stone, the governor of the Cape of Good Hope, came to negotiate with the Kingdom of Zulu.

This time, besides the credible people he brought, the rest was the Zulu Kingdom side, who was the leader of the other party, and their crown prince expenses, Vayo Kampanda, who was a ruthless person.

The location I chose this time is no longer Durban, the capital of the Zulu Kingdom.

It was originally planned to be held in Natal, which the British Empire captured from the Boers in 1842, but the Zulu Kingdom disagreed and finally chose to hold it in East London, southwest of the Indian Ocean, in the eastern part of the British Cape of Good Hope colony close to the Zulu Kingdom.

Moreover, it is a safe distance from the Transvaal Empire where the Boers are located.

At the same time, here has just been built, so there are no extra idle people, and no one has too many worries about their eyes.

After all, this place is not like Cape Town, and there is no need to worry about the existence of the Boers, and no one can save it. Someone will spread the news to the Boers.

Therefore, from the beginning, he made careful arrangements and was not afraid of the existence of the Boers except the British Empire and the Zulu Kingdom.

However, why don’t you be afraid of other people’s existence in the negotiations initiated this time? After all, it’s a bit unpleasant. This negotiation is to deal with the common enemy, the Boers. Is there any problem?

Although Britain was just a latecomer, as Britain's rule over the Cape of Good Hope became larger and larger, especially after the Vienna Conference in 1815 forced the Netherlands to sell the Cape of Good Hope to Britain for 6 million pounds, the British are now dominant.

Among the Boer people led by the Netherlands, the Dutch population accounts for 80% of the population, with a population of about 80,000.

The rest were all immigrants from other European countries such as Germans and French, and they were all unhappy with British rule, so they broke away from the Cape of Good Hope and went north to the inland, and settled in Natal.

But later, with the British following and occupying Natal, they finally knew what role the British regarded them as.

So this time, after a long and arduous journey, we moved to the north of the Basuturan Kingdom and the west of the Zulu Kingdom, and established the Transvaal Republic.

Thinking of this, Tep Stone couldn't help but sigh. The British senior executives, including his brother Shep Stone, never expected that the idea of ​​the Boers who originally wanted to make the Boers find a way to take the lead and fight to the death with the natives, and Britain was able to get a bargain, but unexpectedly, accidentally made the Boers stand firm and establish a country.

The British naturally did not want to do so, so they began to launch multiple rounds of attacks on the Transvaal Republic, which was only loyal to the whites. However, they finally found that the army here of the British Empire was not their opponent. This white country with only less than 100,000 people had fought with the Kingdom of Basutoro and the Kingdom of Zulu, and it actually made the British army breathless after fighting the Kingdom of Basutoro many times.

Some of the British were reluctant to fight with the Boers, so after repeatedly demanding that the Transvaal Republic surrender and failed to respond, they also learned that the Transvaal Republic and the Zulu Kingdom had frequent territorial occupations in the east.

So Shep Stone, who was so angry, sent his younger brother Tep Stone to have a secret talk with the Zulu Kingdom, preparing to push them to fight with the Transvaal Republic to benefit Britain.

"The enemy is a friend!

Furthermore, now that our two countries are on the same starting line, I don’t think that if I can meet with the Crown Prince, who will I offend or which rule set by God have violated?

As for meeting with the Crown Prince, we all had conflicts with the Transvaal Republic. Now that the Transvaal Republic is strong, we are all weak, so we naturally need to cooperate.

As far as I know, the territory occupied by them now is twice the area controlled by the Zulu Kingdom.

Oh my god!

It’s scary to think about it. You know, your territory was almost the same as our Cape of Good Hope, but now they have occupied so much.

This kind of hatred is absolutely indelible. Based on the principle of good friendship between you and me, the British Empire specially sent me to support the Zulu Kingdom's rebellion against the atrocities of the Transvaal Republic. How about it? Is it sincere enough?"

Kaizhiwayo Kampanda did not comment.

In fact, he was the one who did not believe in the British the most in the entire Zulu Kingdom.

Kaizhipanda is the eldest son of Mpanda, the current king of the Zulu Kingdom. He grew up in an environment of internal and external troubles when he was a teenager. His father once betrayed his uncle Ding Gang, surrendered to the Boer colonists, and with the support of the colonist leader Antilles Pretorius, he took up the throne of the Zulu king in 1838.

It was precisely because of this kind of uproar that his father bowed to the Boers and was content with peace of mind, and repeatedly ceded the land to the Boers colonists and the British.

In 1838, the Blood River Battle between the Transvaal Republic and the Zulu Kingdom broke out. More than 3,000 people died in the Zulu Kingdom. The Transvaal Republic established by the Boers did not die, which scared the entire Zulu Kingdom. The upper class even chose to swallow their anger at every step of the Transvaal Republic.

The Boers continued to erode and invade the land of the Zulu kingdom, and it also happened from time to time in the Zulu kingdom. In order to compete for their land, the colonial expansion of Britain and Bu was increasing, and the Zulu countries were facing the threat of the kingdom. Kaizhihuayou was worried. He missed the majesty and dignity of the Zulu kingdom during the reign of his uncle Dinggang.

In the mid-1950s, the Zulu Kingdom fought over the inheritance of the throne, and he finally won. Moreover, his father was condemned by his supporters and finally agreed to him to regent the Zulu Kingdom, and the people around him were united around him. It can be said that although his father was sitting, he was in charge of the country and his father became his puppet.

This time was the final result of the Zulu People's Congress, which began in 1856, with Kaizhiwayo in charge of national affairs.

Kaizhiwayo saw the British and Boer colonists constantly expanding their territory, Basuturan and Sigriqualan had been annexed one after another, and Qiyi led by Nantallang Galibale was also suppressed by the British.

I feel deeply that my lips are dead and my teeth are in danger.

So the first thing he began to rebuild the army after taking power. He used his pasture and livestock to exchange for large numbers of guns and ammunition in both places of England and Bu. He asked a large number of Zulu royal road to work, and all the money he earned bought guns and ammunition to bring back to the Zulu Kingdom.

But everything changed soon after. It was in 1858, when his country had a group of strange guests. These people claimed to be here to save the Zulu Kingdom, the Netherlands, one of the most developed countries in Europe.

Almost 80% of the Boers in the north are the same as them, claiming that they can help the Zulu Kingdom develop into a powerful country.

The premise is that they must ease relations with the Boers and cooperate with the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Finally, after seeing the Dutch's excellent weapons and the benefits of reconciliation after secret negotiations with the Boers, Kazivayo compromised.

The reason is that the Transvaal Republic established by the Boers was willing to give up part of its territory to return to the Zulu Kingdom, but the premise was that the two countries must form an alliance to resist Britain.

Even in this case, he would not refuse.

The large area of ​​land in the northwest occupied by the Boers was reclaimed to defend the territorial integrity of the Zulu Kingdom. The Zulu Kingdom led by him gradually established a powerful army that could use spears to throw guns and modern firearms, with a population of 30,000.

I originally thought that this would be possible. With the Zulu Kingdom's population of 500,000 and 30,000 troops, as long as he was given time, he would definitely develop stronger. However, for some reason, the British kept asking him to discuss secretly against the Boers.

Originally, he wanted to talk to him casually, but as he went deeper, he found that he was actually moved by the words, especially the British. As long as he defeated the Transvaal Republic established by the Boers, the entire country would be divided equally, the east would be returned to the Kingdom of Zulu and the west would be returned to Britain.

Fortunately, he finally suppressed his heart, because he thought of a question: whether there were Boers and Dutch spies around him. When he thought of the coldness and cunning of the Dutch people for many years, he couldn't help but feel a gust of cold wind blowing through him.

So everything started to follow the steps.

When the negotiations were in the evening, both sides agreed to start the next day.

Just when he got up the next day and thought he was going to be silence again, but the news came, which made him weak.

Because, the younger brother of Tep Stone, the British Governor to the Cape of Good Hope, who was chatting and laughing with him yesterday, died in the Zulu's special spear projection technique.

What made him tremble the most was that the East London occupied by the British, totaling more than 1,000 British people, all had the same way of death, all of which had long hair pierced their hearts.

Now, he knew that his position had been positioned, and the position of the Zulu Kingdom he led was destined to declare the world just like the Boers' oath of alliance.

"Damn the Boer, the methods are so despicable. This time, I can't even wash it even if I jump into the Indian Ocean."

March 2, 1862.

Just as the whole world was shocked by the record-breaking record of the Netherlands and the Tsarist Russian Empire, many senior officials of various countries predicted how the British responded to the Netherlands, a piece of news bombed over the Europeans at an extremely fast speed, making people from all over the country dizzy.

The newspaper reports and oral transmissions were quickly spread among Europeans and Americans.

As the most powerful country in the world, the British Empire has rarely suffered major casualties over the years. Even when it helped the Ottoman Empire to compete with the Tsarist Russian Empire, more than 1,000 people died in an instant, not to mention the indigenous people of the Zulu Kingdom, which were looked down upon.

So the British were all embarrassed into the Atlantic Ocean. If the Netherlands was just a shame, then this was a direct slap in the face, which made the British feel that they seemed to be sarcastic and smirk deep in their hearts when they saw their partners in other European countries.

At this time, the chivalrous government and military members of the British, who had always refused to give in, naturally would not give up.

After accepting Shep Stone's detailed report, he naturally had no good feelings for the Zulu Kingdom because of his brother's death. So he introduced the original alliance with the other party, but did not expect that the Zulu Kingdom would actually use this evil move and other dissatisfied biased words, and so on, and told the story with hostility.

So, with the approval of Queen Victoria, the British war machine started.

The goal this time is: the Zulu Kingdom composed of the southernmost indigenous peoples of Africa!
