"Villain Wang Chunfeng, thank you benefactors for saving your life!" , Wang Chunfeng knelt on the ground, and his head was pounded like garlic. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Xiao stopped him from wanting to say something to save his life, and then asked in a deep voice: "Since you thank us for saving our lives, you might as well tell us, who sent you?" ”。

"Ahh This ---", hearing this, Wang Chunfeng was suddenly surprised, and then he was deeply hesitant.

Seeing his reaction, Zhang Xiao immediately affirmed his judgment. Sure enough, the pirates didn't have their heads squeezed by the door, but they came for another purpose.

Li Hai on the side saw that Wang Chunfeng was still spitting at this time, he hesitated, and immediately looked slightly angry, and snorted coldly: "Okay, you are a life-saving benefactor, now let you tell the truth, why is it so difficult?!" How? Do you really think that we are all bodhisattvas and don't commit murder? ”。

As soon as he finished speaking, Charlie also said coldly: "At this time, the sharks in the water should not have left, but the meat is estimated to be very bad, it seems that it is time to replenish this group of beasts!" ”。

His Chinese has been spoken very clearly, but in terms of accent, it is still slightly insufficient.

Wang Chunfeng, who was kneeling, heard Charlie's words, and his face suddenly turned pale with fright. struggled in his heart, and finally sighed and said slowly; "It is true that I am commanded, but I am also compelled by men! Cause--".

Before he finished speaking, a young man jumped out and shouted, "Wang Chunfeng, do you want your son's life?" ”。

Hearing this threat, Wang Chunfeng's body immediately shook, like a leaky sha, trembling non-stop.

Zhang Xiao also frowned slightly, a little displeased.

Charlie saw that he didn't need Zhang Xiao's command, so he glanced at the sailors beside him.

Immediately, a few able-bodied Dutch sailors approached the young man. Don't say a word, just stand and go. Like an eagle catching a chicken, tow it directly to the ship.

At this moment, no matter how stupid this young man was, he understood the next situation, first begged for mercy, and when he saw that everyone ignored him, he threatened: "I am from Lan Fangguo, my father is in a high position, you can't kill me!" ”。

The sailors were visibly stunned!

The young man thought that these people were afraid, so his tone became tougher and he said loudly: "Hmph! You know you're scared, right? If you let me go now, maybe when you go to Lanfang Country, you can spare your dog's life. ”。

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Xiao knew that this young man must be a 'second generation official'. Looking at his fine skin, tender meat, oily head and flour, it is in stark contrast to the pirates around him who have been drifting on the sea all year round.

If other ministers were present, they might have spared the young man's life. But Zhang Xiao is young and vigorous, the most uneaten, hard, and temperamental, he will definitely not think about it so much.

Especially when he was studying, he had the experience of being bullied by his classmates of the second generation of officials several times, so in his heart, he hated the second generation of officials very much, especially this kind of second-generation officials who are fake and powerful.

So he got up from the Taishi's chair and walked to the young man in three or two steps.

A few big ears scraped down, and the young man's entire face swollen into a pig's head at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Feeling that his hands were numb, Zhang Xiao stopped, and said to the sailor holding the young man without being salty: "Why are you still holding this dog?" We don't have livestock on board! ”。

Then there was a pop, and the young man was thrown into the water.

After a while, there was a burst of screams. The heart-rending, heart-rending, and miserable cry made the pirates on the field panic. And Zhang Xiao, who was sitting on the Taishi's chair, also felt a little scary, but on his face, he still maintained a light cloud.

It seems that he, a modern person, is still not used to casually deciding the life and death of others. Not only him, but also Li Hai, Li Chenggong and other modern people who accompanied him could not bear to listen to it.

However, Zhang Xiao is the biggest official on this ship, and his words are heaven. So no one dares to say that half is not!

I saw him pluck out his ears and dig out a large ear with his little fingernails. I blew on my mouth, and my nails were instantly clean. Then he looked sideways at Wang Chunfeng!

There are more than forty people, and Wang Chunfeng still has this eyesight. didn't need Zhang Xiao to remind him, and immediately shook everything he knew like pouring beans.

It turns out that he was really assigned by someone else! And this other person is still Lan Fangguo, who is also Chinese. This made Zhang Xiao a little surprised, a little confused, and a little angry. Because their next stop is Lan Fangguo!

In Zhang Xiao's view, since they are all Chinese countries, they should help each other. After all, in the South Seas, surrounded by Western powers, the risk of survival is still very great.

So in line with the mentality that the Chinese in the world are the same family, he also wants to support Lan Fangguo. But now it seems that he is willing to do so.

Because the other party didn't seem to welcome his arrival very much, he sent pirates to express his 'goodwill' before he reached the boundary of Lan Fang Kingdom.

In fact, a little study of the history of Lan Fangguo can give a glimpse of Lan Fangguo's intentions in doing so.

In the beginning, Lan Fang was nothing more than a Chinese mining company in Borneo.

Because there are so many Chinese companies from other places on the island, Lan Fang is in it, very ordinary and inconspicuous. But in a rebellion against Sudan, Luo Fangbo, an important figure in Lanfangguo, seized the opportunity to actively help Sudan quell the rebellion.

It is precisely because of this that Lanfang Company began to make friends with Sudan and slowly grew up.

During this period, Lan Fang continued to crack down on dissidents, gradually taking control of the western side of Borneo and taking all the minerals under its control. Many Chinese companies also went bankrupt and were driven out of Borneo by Lan Fang.

This is because most of the members of Lanfang Company are Teochew Hakka people from one place, so they are more exclusive. It was not until 1776 that under the leadership of Luo Fangbo, Lan Fang Company announced the founding of the state of Borneo, that is, the island of Kalimantan, with the capital of East Wanjin.

As a result, the manpower deficiency was immediately manifested, and Lan Fang also changed her previous xenophobic practice and recruited Chinese from all over the South Seas to immigrate to Borneo.

Even though it is a republican country, it seems to be very democratic. However, due to the limitations of this era and the influence of the idea of China, national feudalism and construction, in the middle and upper classes of Lanfang Kingdom, almost all Teochew people.

Chinese people in other places can only be honest and obedient people, and they will never be able to participate in national affairs.

But in the whole era, Lan Fangguo's system is still very progressive and excellent.

Of course, this can't be compared with the Ming Republic!

After all, the founders of the Ming Dynasty are a group of modern people, whose vision is more than 200 years ahead of this era, and they are also familiar with history. That's bugs, a powerful cheat.

Lan Fangguo can only be a pediatrician in front of Daming.

So, why did Lan Fangguo let pirates attack Daming's ship?

After all, it is back to the source of the problem - interests!

Because Lan Fang, like Da Ming, is short of population. After all, it has only been four or five years since its establishment, and the first generation of Lanfang people are still toddlers. In Borneo, which is full of foreign races, the number of Chinese seems to be too scarce, which makes Lan Fangguo, which is dominated by Chinese, feel at ease.

However, the Qing Dynasty had extremely strict control over the population, and imposed a ban on the sea, which made it a luxury to obtain population replenishment from the Qing Dynasty for a while.

As a result, Lan Fangguo could only shift his attention to the Chinese in Nanyang.

Although there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese in the entire Nanyang, they are so insignificant in the vast Nanyang Islands.

So after hearing that Daming is also a Chinese country, and it is not far from Nanyang, and it is also rich in gold mines, and after inviting immigrants from all over the world, the high-level leaders of Lan Fangguo instinctively felt threatened.

And it is said that the gold dug up in Daming is divided into three or seven. That is, seventy percent of the Ming Dynasty, and three percent of people at that time. This is much better than Lan Fang's being nationalized and only getting a meager salary.

So every time Daming's ship arrived at a place, thousands of sails went out to sea in that place, and thousands of boats competed for the crossing, causing a huge wave of immigration.

It is said that people's desire for gold is beyond imagination, so no matter whether what Da Ming said is true or not, people who are a little ambitious and dissatisfied with the status quo are scrambling to go to Da Ming.

I'm afraid that if it's too late, the gold will be dug up,

So Lan Fangguo saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

If the Ming Dynasty, like the Netherlands, Spain and other Western countries, excluded the Chinese, they would not be much resistant. But everyone in Daming accepts it, and the name is still Daming. In the eyes of some Chinese who miss the Ming Dynasty and rebuild the Han people, this is even more appealing.

Such a Ming Republic, how can it not make the top leaders of Lanfang jealous!

After all, there are only so many Chinese in Nanyang, and if you go for one, there will be one less! This is a disguised weakening of Lan Fangguo.
