After settling matters with the Dongwanlu Government, the Heixinggen Consortium then entered the Lan Fang Republic. After leaving a garrison of over three hundred armed men in the Lan Fang Republic, Grand Duke Ferdinand and his fleet headed east.
The three hundred strong troops did not remain in Dongwanlu but continued southward to the Lan Fang Republic city of Kundian.
Dongwanlu was built on the west bank of the Wanlu River, a tributary on the right bank of the Kun River (Kapuas River), while Kundian is located at the mouth of the Kun River. It's an excellent harbor and the largest city in Kalimantan Island, primarily inhabited by Chinese people.
Dongwanlu and Kundian are approximately twenty to thirty kilometers apart in a straight line, thus distinguishing them. Dongwanlu became the capital due to its gold mines; this is where the Lan Fang Kingdom (Company) made its fortune.
