"Even a strong man, you haven't thought about these questions, how can you dare to tell the story of the three proclamations and six consolations of the previous dynasty? However, if the Dutch really make a move to expel the people of our Celestial Empire in the future, if you make meritorious service, I can show the Son of Heaven and make you an official. Sealing a wife and a son is also a beautiful thing in life. What do you think? ”

"The saint also pays more attention to the affairs of Bacheng, and this time you came, just as I was going to enter Beijing. I can go with you, and I may be able to meet Your Majesty. ”

This time, he took out the honor guard that had not been used for a long time, just hoping that Lian Huai would watch and see how "majestic" it was to be an official in the imperial court.

After seeing the majesty of Liu Yu's guard of honor with his own eyes, and thinking about the plot of "meeting the emperor" that can only appear in the script, Lian Huaiguan was a little dizzy for a while.

Liu Yu wanted to take him to see the emperor, which showed the importance of the imperial court, and even Huaiguan was happy in his heart.

But what is this official's approach? If you are a liuguan, you really don't have to be comfortable as the lord of a city in the local area.

Seeing that Lian Huaiguan was still hesitating, Liu Yu felt that it was still necessary for Lian Huaiguan to think clearly, relying on their own strength was not enough to shake the rule of the Dutch.

In Lian Huaiguan's eyes, there is only Batavia, and he can only see one Batavia, and there are not many Dutch people who know Batavia, and they don't think these people are considered heavenly soldiers in daily contact.

It's just that while it's courageous to think like this, it's dangerous to do.

In the historical Red Creek tragedy, not to mention the failure to capture the city of Batavia, the halfway failure was also because the Dutch requisitioned the local indigenous cavalry.

If you want to gain a foothold in Batavia, you have to consider not only the Dutch, but also the local natives. No regular army of three or five thousand men could have taken over the Dutch rule completely.

The reason why I wanted to bring Lian Huaiguan into the capital was to solicit people, and the other was to deceive both ends.

One end made Lian Huaiguan single-minded, and the other end also told the emperor that Batavia was very easy to fight, and the local people were waiting for Wang Shi to eat pot pulp.

Such a decision was also made because Liu Yu believed that attacking Batavia did not need a local Chinese leader, but only relied on local poor hired labor.

Even a Chinese leader like Huaiguan can be with or without it.

If it was really indispensable and significant, Liu Yu's attitude would have been complimented by "Corporal Lixian".

In order to solve the survival of the local Chinese, it is necessary to carry out reforms, and it will definitely touch the interests of the local gentry.

He may indeed have conflicts with Jiabidan and Lei Zhenlan, but what about the local gentry outside of Jiapitan and the six Lei Zhenlan?

Of course, there are some benefits to having such a local head snake. You can send someone to Batavia in advance, so that Lian Huaiguan can find out his identity and collect intelligence and train soldiers in Batavia.

But that's limited to that, more complicated things, Liu Yu doesn't want Lian Huaiguan to interfere.

"Even a strong man, your courage is commendable, but I have to frustrate your spirit first. The Dutch, not so easy to fight. Even if you drive away the Dutch in Batavia, it won't last long. ”

"If you want to do big things, you need to think about that. Otherwise, I am afraid that the local people of the Celestial Empire will shed blood in vain, and there is no point in dying. ”

"Without the court, you can't take the Batavia. If you really have the heart to do something for the people of the Celestial Empire in Bacheng, you need to obey the orders of the imperial court. Otherwise, it is not only unhelpful, but harmful. ”

"Let me ask you, how many people in the local area can line up to meet the enemy and shoot against artillery? If the Dutch warships attacked, how would they fight the enemy? What if the Javanese were ordered by the Dutch to attack? ”

"This matter needs to be considered in the long run. Do not rely on the courage of the flesh for a moment. I know that you have a good conscience and can be commended, but if you really want to do this, you can't make your own decisions. If you make your own decisions, I am afraid that you will ruin the lives of tens of thousands of people of the Bacheng Heavenly Dynasty. ”

Such a big hat was buttoned down first, and then the situation in Batavia was carefully explained to him according to Liu Yu's macro understanding.

After talking for most of the afternoon, Lian Huaiguan realized that the Batavia he saw was just a surface. The real Batavia is the surrounding Malacca, Ambon Island, Japan Shokan, Canton Shokan, Bansiga, Semarang...... Under the command of the East India Company, if there is an arm, it is the East India Company of the whole of Holland that has to be fought against, not a small Batavia.

The temporary perspective, which is half intimidation and half warning, made Lian Huaiguan sweat coldly, and Liu Yu's statement, which he already agreed with in his heart, knew that what he had thought before was simple.

In Liu Yu's view, what is needed in Batavia now is not courage or agitation, but waiting and forbearance.

The inevitable development of the trade situation and the industrial structure of the Chinese in Batavia have made this anti-Chinese incident inevitable.

However, because of Liu Yu's existence, it is impossible for the Dashun court to ignore it like a fool, and the whole thing is within a controllable range.

If the Dutch did not start to exclude the Chinese until the navy of Dashun was ready, this would naturally be just right.

At that time, the inside and outside should be combined, and it will be successful in one fell swoop.

If the Dutch had not yet prepared the navy of Dashun, they would have started to do it......

Nor is it uncontrollable.

At the very least, the imperial court could come forward to warn that a few warships would go around Batavia and close the merchant houses to cut off trade, and the Dutch should not dare to slaughter them.

Anyway, the solution of the Dutch is basically to ship to Ceylon and India. Because the Chinese in Batavia are good skilled workers in growing sugar cane and extracting sugar, it is most likely to be shipped to Ceylon or India to do the same work.

Sooner or later, it will expand to the Indian side, and it will also need a foothold with a bit of a population base. Be ruthless, and it is not impossible to rely on the Dutch to help China complete the first wave of immigration to India.

Let the Dutch bear the notoriety, and don't let the Dutch go too far by intervening in the whole process, and if they start a war against the Netherlands and capture Malacca in the future, they can go to Ceylon by the way, and it is not a bad thing to use the local Chinese who have been immigrated by the Dutch.

Listening to Lian Huaiguan's meaning, the newly arrived governor of Bacheng will come up to check the local Chinese population and pay the poll tax, which is a dangerous signal.

But the whole strategy cannot be changed, and Japan's national power is stronger than that of the Netherlands in Southeast Asia - otherwise, the Dutch would have been free trade in gunboat diplomacy long ago.

It is necessary to be strong first and then weak, and before Japan has time to react, solve Japan, close the Dutch trade with Japan, create friction, and defeat the Netherlands.

This order must not be wrong, otherwise it is likely to be detected by Japan.

Moreover, it will take at least three years for Weihai's navy to have a 70 percent chance of resolving the Japanese and South China Sea issues.

What Liu Yu was worried about was that something happened in Nanyang during this period.

If the local Chinese rebel on a large scale, it may lead to the massacre of the local Chinese, and Dashun is not ready, so it will be sacrificed in vain.

To resist, you definitely need to take the lead. This Lian Huaiguan, judging from the fact that he can run to Weihai, should be a key figure in the lead.

If Batavia was going to exclude China or even slaughter before Liu Yu was ready, he could only take the "diplomatic route" of the imperial court, warn the Dutch not to engage in massacres, and force the Dutch to really pay for immigration to Ceylon.

When it was really difficult for the local Chinese to survive, he could also help some.

Twenty or thirty thousand people, to maintain the minimum survival, he can still take over.

It's a big deal, find a middleman to rent most of the sugar cane plantations and sugar factories in your hands, and endure until you get ready here. It's only a hundred thousand taels of silver, and he can still afford to dig out his family's funds.

Or, before he was ready, the local poll tax, he gave first. In the future, it will be snatched back from the Dutch.

In short, until the Japanese problem is resolved, it is absolutely impossible to attack Nanyang. Even if it costs money to pay a poll tax to make the Dutch two years late, you have to endure it.
