Chapter 627: Chen Ding's Attack -
Chen Ding had been back from Sakhalin for a few days, and if it hadn't been for the tight time of the start of school, he would have rushed to Qiongzhou as another representative of the royal family. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Chen Ding still has a good impression of his maternal grandfather and grandmother, who his mother often talks about. Li Kun's actions have really increased the positive impact on the Li family in all aspects.
Chen Ding felt cordial by nature, and with the self-improvement of the Li family in the future, this is an extraordinary feeling.
God knows how much his mother cared about his grandfather and grandmother and the orphans and widows left behind by his uncle. However, although Chen Dingren did not go to Qiongzhou, people did not wait for news in vain.
The queen asked Tang Feipeng to open a new vest, and then Chen Ming received a new news on this day - Chen Ding also asked people to come forward to open a new vest - Nanyang Labor Service Company, which is engaged in the industry for the 'export' of labor services, with a registered capital of 1 million Chinese yuan. As a joint-stock cooperative company, Chen Ding is the largest shareholder in it, with 25% of the shares.
What's going on?
The identity of the owner of the other 75% of the shares, Chen Ming asked someone to check, and found that all of them were Chen Ding's close friends who played on weekdays. This includes Chen Liang's youngest son, an uncle who is one year younger than Chen Ding.
The son felt that the population of Siam was too small, and wanted to transport some of the natives of Jawa to King Zheng. Just like a foreigner catching a black slave, this transaction will not lose money. "As long as Siam does not change the current political system, all officials and powerful people can keep slaves and raise slaves, and sending all the natives of the Java to Siam will not satisfy the appetite of those nobles and princes. The buyer's market is constant and stable!
It's just that Chen Ding is talking about money, but the cold light flashing in his eyes does not have the slightest taste of money. Of course, Chen Ming knew that he was here for revenge.
"That's a good idea. Not only Siam can be delivered, but also mines all over the country. "As long as it's cheap.
There are now a large number of slave laborers in the mines all over China, and their treatment is lower than that of the slave laborers who were rescued from the mines when the Chen family conquered the world, and their living conditions are even worse. Because they are all foreigners, whether they are Koreans, Japanese, or slaves in the South Seas, they can be seen.
However, his eldest son is only a child who has just turned twelve, is this method he came up with by himself?
"I was inspired by what Mr. Newton said. The team of the Black Ice Ocean Security Company has been formed, and Mr. Newton says that simple slaughter is too wasteful. Although the natives are lazy, they can also produce profits under the whip and hunger. I wondered if I could join forces with the Black Ice Ocean to do a business, buy the natives from them, and then buy Siam, which lacked labor.
In this way, the members of the Black Ice Ocean can reap higher benefits and trigger their enthusiasm greater. ”
Obviously, Chen Ding's purpose has always been a revenge, and the purpose of his company's existence is to 'stimulate' the Black Ice Ocean security team and increase their enthusiasm, so that it can do more harm to the interests and stability of Yogyakarta.
"And how did you convince your friends?"
Chen Ding's starting point for 'trading' is not to make money, how did he get the other 750,000 yuan?
"Hehe, the first thing my son is looking for is Uncle Xiaokang." Uncle Xiaokang, Chen Kang, Chen Liang's youngest son.
"Uncle Xiaokang took out 200,000 yuan the next day, and converted it into 100,000 yuan and put it into the company." The registered capital of the whole company is 1 million Chinese dollars in name, but the actual financing is as high as 1.9 million Chinese dollars. Among them, except for Chen Ding's 250,000 Chinese yuan, which was really used as 250,000 yuan, the others were all discounted.
Cutting at the waist is the most common thing.
"The twelfth uncle offended his mother because of his uncle's affairs, did he dare not be active? He was so active, and this matter was brought up. ”
"Clever." Chen Ming laughed happily.
He doesn't care if his son will be 'notorious'. The so-called labor company is a slave trader, and if he becomes famous in the future, he will definitely not add any luster to Chen Ding. But this is Chen Ding's 'heart', isn't it? The stronger the counterattack, the more sincere the feelings in his heart, and Chen Ming is satisfied with this. And his move also eased the estrangement between the queen and Chen Liang very well. By the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival, no matter whether things can come with a satisfactory answer or not, they will be as harmonious as ever, and there will be a step down.
Chen Ming is very satisfied with Chen Ding's 'heart', and Chen Ming is also very satisfied with the role shown by Chen Ding. He didn't believe that Chen Dinghui didn't realize the latter at all, and the children in the palace must not be underestimated.
Chen Ding took Tian Huangshi from his father, and walked back to his residence with a happy expression. Newton was ready to give his lesson, and there were less than fifteen minutes left.
The sanctimonious teacher, the bright and clever student, the bright sunlight shines through the glass window on the desk with the textbooks spread. Seeing the fresh scene of how the river crab is fresh, no one should have thought that a company that has been full of sin from the first moment of birth will have this pair of masters and apprentices spawned.
First the Black Ice Ocean Security Company, which acted as fast as thunder, and then the Nanyang Labor Company, which was inconspicuous but gathered a large number of powerful people, and the natives of Yogyakarta and even the entire Java thousands of miles away, could never imagine what tragedy they would face in the future.
Siam is not a heavenly world, it is a country of Buddha. There's not too much pork rice there. Of course, it is unlikely that you will come into contact with pork as a slave, but what about ordinary life? Pigs are meant to be taken care of. No one can say how long the heavenly faith of the Jawa natives will last after they come to Siam.
Hamungu Buwono II did not know any of these things, and he was now in a hurry to flee with his concubine and treasures. Beside him were Luo Fangbai, the leader of the Chinese delegation, and Dutchman Gretel.
"Your Majesty, there is no need for you to be so nervous. As long as you agree to sign your name on the agreement now, the army that is rushing towards the palace will immediately return to Bantul. ”
The army in Yogyakarta is too rubbish.
Not to mention that one of the men and horses of the battalion of the Marine Corps used a new type of musket gun, this is to test the real performance of the new type of musket in actual combat. It turns out that the cap gun really protects against rain to some extent.
And more than half of the Marines wore cuirasses, and even if they didn't use guns, grenades, or rockets, they could kill the garbage army of Yogyakarta even if they only used the bayonets on the muskets in their hands.
From the mouth of the Progo River, the pace of this attacking force has not stopped. Along the Progo River, you will enter Vatais, then Bantul, the most important city in Yogyakarta, then Sleman, and then the seat of the Yogyakarta royal palace. Hamengu Buwono II must run!
Of course, before running, or before the Marine Corps conquered Bantul, the army of Yogyakarta first 'invited' Luo Fangbai and his party to the palace of Yogyakarta.
"Shut up. You damn liar! I will burn you to ashes and send you to Hellfire, and let the holy flame burn your sins. ”
Luo Fangbai had promised 'peace' before, but now that the Chinese have come to fight, the Yogyakarta army has been defeated. Wates, Bantul and Sleman, the three most important cities in Yogyakarta, were all taken by the Marine Corps.
In Bantur, where the Yogyakarta army was the most prepared, 5,000 indigenous troops took advantage of the heavy rain to attack the 2,000-strong Marine Corps, and the corpses of the Marine Corps were scattered all over the field with muskets and bayonets.
In the minds of the natives of Yogyakarta, the muskets that can still be fired in the heavy rain are the weapons of the devil. When the musket guns of a battalion were fired, they mustered up enough courage and took advantage of the heavy rain to rush to kill the natives who were stunned.
The fire cap gun is not really completely waterproof. All soldiers wear hats like big hats to shield themselves from the rain when charging, but they only need to put a fire cap on the fire door, which greatly reduces the 'lethality' of the rain.
At least this battalion had an 84 per cent rate of fire from its cap guns in heavy rain, which was a very high number. Compared with the flintlock rate in the case of the wind and the sun, it is not much worse.
In the battle of Bantul, the Yogyakarta army was completely defeated. Although there were only 1,500 sailors left in the marines who continued to march towards the palace in Yogyakarta, and this number should have been reduced to about 1,200 after passing through Lesman, Hamengu Buwono II had no confidence to resist. He will flee with his men further inland.
At this moment, Hamengu Buwono II was holding the knife that Li Kun had bought in his hand, his eyes were full of tyrannical killing intent, if it weren't for the fact that he still had a trace of calmness in his brain, he would have chopped Luo Fangbai into a puddle of meat with his own hands.
Luo Fangbai had no fear at all. If this threat made him look like dirt, he couldn't think of such a bold way. Besides, aren't the Dutch on the side? Will the Dutch watch Hamengu Buwono II chop himself up and feed it to the dogs?
"If I am really guilty, my soul will be under the control of King Yama after I die, but I will not reach the Hell of your true god." Lao Tzu is the eighteenth layer of hell, and he will not run to Hell Fire, Luo Fangbai's eyes are full of red fruit and fearlessness: "Sultan, the situation has developed to this point, do you really want to watch your kingdom fall?" ”
"If you think that killing me will help your kingdom, you can kill me now, and kill everyone in the mission, as well as the Chinese merchant who has been imprisoned by you for a long time. But that's not going to get you out of trouble, you know. This will only destroy you. ”
"Your anger, your threats, won't help you in any way."
"Then don't face me with your anger and threats. None of them are three-year-olds. ”
"Now sign the agreement, surrender unconditionally, release people unconditionally, this is the choice you should make. This is how the power of Yogyakarta can avoid greater losses. ”
Luo Fangbai's gentle performance was contrary to the beginning, and his toughness was simply eye-catching. The 180-degree turn of the whole person made Hamengu Buwono II jump straight to his feet with hatred, but he didn't dare to really let people hurt them a single hair.
"Of course, that's probably too much for you. So I talked to Mr. Glitter, and now I'm willing to take a step back. Let the troops stop for a while, and you and I will have a real and sincere talk. However, you must release Li Kun, a Chinese businessman. He needed immediate and better treatment. Otherwise, he would have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. ”
At the beginning, Li Kun was beaten by these natives and his legs and feet were broken, and it took half a month to receive initial treatment. Then after such a long time, Luo Fangbai really doubted whether this uncle Guo's legs and feet had grown deformed, and whether he could really stand up in the future.
Prince Mankun Le Garland was so moved to tears that his eyes were about to come to his senses. Thank God that the Chinese are willing to stop the pace of the army, which is great news. He immediately looked at Hamengu Buwono II with hope.
Of course, the Yogyakarta palace was occupied by the family of Hamengu Buwono II, but the surrounding area of the palace was the home of these nobles. If the Chinese kill it, everything will inevitably be looted by the Chinese. Even if they are now trying their best to pack up their homes and run away.
But the magnates represented by Prince Mankun Legalan must have hoped that the war would be stopped before it burned to the palace.
Hamengu Buwono II's face jerked with a sign of struggle. He also knows what it represents.
"Can you really bring your army to a halt?"
"As long as you can release them." As long as Uncle Guo can be sent to the army as soon as possible, he is definitely willing to stop.
In fact, after the outbreak of the Surabaya incident, there was a voice in the army that no matter which Chinese businessman was arrested, he directly pressed Yogyakarta and beat him. Directly tell them to hand over people, if you don't pay it, you will take care of it, dare to do any harm, one life is worth a thousand!
How many Chinese did Yogyakarta kill, multiply this number by a thousand, then kill it ruthlessly. Kill him with a river of blood, and see if the monkeys in the South Seas dare to stretch out their claws.
But this method was beaten back by the superiors, because it was too vain to care about Xiaomin's name. Although no one knew that it was a diving Kunpeng!
Anyway, the pressure is no longer on Luo Fangbai, and now Luo Fangbai can be completely sure that Hamengu Buwono II will not dare to kill or injure them.
After their lives are not in danger, who wouldn't be ruthless?
"Dear Sultan, life is an hourglass that cannot be rotated, and once it runs out, there is no turning back." Glitter was also trying to persuade Hamengu Buwono II, even though Glitter had cursed him many times for being a big, super-big fool.
According to the Dutch, this kind of thing cannot be made a big deal. Once they saw China roll up their sleeves, Yogyakarta would immediately succumb, and then while maintaining that the incident would not escalate, they would continue to argue with the Chinese, and then the Dutch would beat the side drum and slowly settle the matter. Although this will greatly increase the momentum of the Chinese in Nanyang, it is much better than the current situation where half of Yogyakarta is taken by the Chinese Marine Corps.
Now that Yogyakarta has become a chicken that has been killed, which of the monkeys in the whole South Seas still dares to bark their teeth at the Chinese?
In the previous time, the grinding and chirping of the two sides, to a certain extent, Batavia's abacus has begun. During this period, they also got the Lin family to express their sincerity to the Chinese side.
But just when no one expected it, the Chinese suddenly made a move. When the news of the capture of the Fort at the mouth of the Progo River by the Chinese naval division was received, not only Hamengu Buwono II was stunned, but also Glitter. Then the Chinese marines were overwhelmed, winning successive battles, and the front of the army came straight to the palace. Glitter couldn't mediate even if he tried to.
Fortunately, the Chinese also have certain scruples, after all, their mission is also in the hands of the Yogyakarta, and China's tradition of saving face makes it difficult for them to use power to fight for their own interests. When Glitter came to communicate with Luo Fangbai, he found that Luo Fangbai was unexpectedly easy to speak. The latter's attitude really made Glitter strange, but he couldn't find the point that made him strange.
China's demands are not too harsh. It was not to let everyone return to the Chinese Marines, as long as the two members of the mission accompanied the Chinese merchant, the rest of the mission personnel remained in the palace.
Although the next step is to have 'sincere' negotiations between the two sides.
Hamengu Buwono II has been driven to the edge of a cliff, and he can choose to flee today, and he can return to the palace that has only been established for more than twenty years, but at that time his throne as sultan was not as glorious as it is now. The Sultanate of Solo will not pass up this opportunity.
Although Hamengu Buwono II has now been beaten by the Chinese marines, as long as this palace is not lost, he still retains the most basic face.
This is like Li Longji abandoned Chang'an and fled in the Anshi Rebellion, if Chang'an was not captured by the rebels, it was said that the country had not been shaken. But Chang'an is also finished, and Datang will really fall.
For Hamengu Buwono II, the significance of the palace was equally important. This is still there, and the basic dignity of the Sultan of Yogyakarta is still there, otherwise it is not impossible for a phoenix with a falling hair to be inferior to a chicken.
Luo Fangbai's face was silent, but his heart suddenly seemed to be beating a drum. He felt as if his heart was about to jump out, and a passionate emotion echoed and wandered in the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't find an exit. He had to force himself to resist the excitement, for Glitter had been quietly watching him.
From the time the two met in the palace, Luo Fangbai faced a difficult battle. With a thousand pounds of burden in his heart, he seemed to be a little unconcerned on the surface. Facing Glitter, facing Hamengu Buwono II, his softening, his toughness, all for this fight, all for this moment.
He won! When the dust settled, a feeling of prostration arose in his heart.
"Your Majesty, you have made the wisest decision of your life!" When the news came, both he and Glitter would die of tears. (To be continued.) )
