Is Li Kun dead?

Li Kun is not dead. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hamengu Buwono II of Yogyakarta was going to burn him immediately. In the eyes of Hamengu Buwono II, Li Kun was a kafir who had stained the relics of his ancestors, and only fire could remove the defilement that his ancestors had been subjected to when they ascended to heaven.

Regardless of whether Li Kun was a thief or not, when Hamengu Buwono II's men took control of Li Kun's residence, the Shantou pork jerky and large pieces of pork found in the living room and kitchen made the people sent by Hamengu Buwono II unable to control their anger, and it was also unbearable for Hamengu Buwono II, who received the news first.

However, Li Kun's life was very big, and when Li Kun, who had multiple fractures on his body, was sent to Yogyakarta, it was just in time for the rain.

Of course, this is not good for purification.

And when the weather in Yogyakarta improves, new information from Surabaya has been delivered.

Yogyakarta is in the south-central part of Java, while Surabaya is in the northeast of Java, and the distance between the two is about 200 miles, but the actual distance is doubled.

The men sent by Hamengu Buwono II took Li Kun, who was beaten and could not take care of himself, to Yogyakarta, and walked for half a month on the road, which was a little slow.

Because they can't kill Li Kun, they have to make sure that Li Kun is alive when he arrives in Yogyakarta. Li Kun was named by Hamengu Buwono II to make the barbecue himself, so they couldn't just stone people to death, and their speed was relatively slow.

Although the latter arrived seven or eight days later than the former, the time when the two arrived was only one day apart.

Suddenly hearing the news that the Chinese had seized Surabaya, and the news that they had unscrupulously killed two or three thousand natives in Surabaya, and the Dutch did not dare to chirp, it was true that Hamengu Buwono II was a little thin.

As a sultan, a sultan of the South Seas, their first identity is the king. The first thing to pay attention to is the actual benefits!

What is the title of the Sultan of Yogyakarta? Yes - Your Majesty, the supreme ruler of the Sultan world, the chieftain of warriors, the noblest servant, the priest and caliph who guards Yogyakarta.

First secular power, then faith right.

Compared to the Ottoman Sultans of the Celestial World, the order is very different. Although the strength of the two regimes is not at all comparable.

If there is no other xx influence, Hamengu Buwono II is of course willing to obey the Quran, but when the practical interests are affected, Hamengu Buwono II will immediately think about the gains and losses.

His current situation is also a bit difficult to ride a tiger. If he continues to insist on making Li Kun a barbecue, he will be able to gather a lot of people's hearts for himself, gain greater prestige in the competition between Yogyakarta and the Solate of Solo, a stronger mass base, and a more stable position as the successor of the Mataram Sultanate. However, his kingdom will definitely suffer from the frenzied revenge of the Chinese in the coming period.

At that time, will the Sultanate of Solo lend a helping hand to him?

At that time, how much of a role could the so-called popular support play?

……

In the cell of the Yogyakarta Sultan's palace, the sun shone on Li Kun, who was wearing a cloak.

His long hair was clumped together with blood, and Li Kun had not been punished since the news of the Chinese sailors' control of Surabaya reached Yogyakarta. But no one cleaned him up.

The long hair coagulated by blood was draped over his shoulders. The sunlight shone through the darkness of the room, and the guards outside could see his face clearly, not a trace of blood, white as a piece of paper.

The time when the sun shines on the cell every day is the time when Li Kun enjoys the most, he doesn't feel hot at all, he is directly illuminated by the sun, and occasionally turns his head slightly, sweeping the guards on the side with a gloomy but hateful eye.

The blue Han-style robe was stained with blood......

Li Kun didn't know if he would be able to escape this, but he believed that the Yogyakarta Sultan would definitely suffer retribution. The imperial court will not let the Chinese be bullied and killed by the indigenous monkeys in Nanyang, and Chen Han, who was established by his brother-in-law, Li Kun knows more with his heart. The handwriting on the little red notebook was not for decoration. Rather, there is a strong army of the imperial court as the most trustworthy reliance.

If you really die. When the news of the death is reported back to Qiongzhou, the father and wife will never be incognito again, as long as their identity is leaked, the revenge that Yogyakarta, the monkey country, will endure is only to be destroyed.

You won't die in vain! Li Kun has been firm in his beliefs every day to resist the temptation of the enemy.

The smell of meat came through the fence again.

Li Kun's stomach suddenly rumbled twice, but he didn't open his eyes, and he didn't even bother to give a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"As long as you are willing to believe in the true God and obey Allah......"

I don't know what happened, but on the third day of Li Kun's imprisonment, suddenly these natives began to tempt him, instead of physical torture. Li Kun also received rough healing, and the dialogue between the two sides was bridged by people who could speak Chinese in Yogyakarta, although the sinicization of what those people said was not very standard, but the meaning of what he said, Li Kun understood.

As long as Li Kun is willing to believe in Heaven, is willing to live in Yogyakarta, and is willing to marry an indigenous woman, he can be free.

Then the food that Li Kun could get every day was rapidly decreasing.

The guards of the cell would also deliberately come to Li Kun with beef and mutton, constantly tempting him.

Li Kun gritted his teeth and insisted.

This phenomenon is a great improvement for him. This shows that the indigenous monkeys of Yogyakarta have become suspicious of 'him', at least they will not immediately scream and burn him.

Li Kun saw a glimmer of hope, and he would not give in. For days on end, I lay on the ground like a piece of dead flesh, enjoying the sun.

If you're hungry, you have to hold on.

An elder brother who believes in heaven, and an uncle who married a native as a wife, are not the elder brother that the queen should have, let alone the uncle that the prince should have. Chen Han doesn't need such an uncle!

What is it that has been incognito for so many years?

Although his father didn't say it, Li Kun knew that it was for a face. Not only the face of the Li family, but also the face of the eldest son of the empress.

The crown prince has not yet been established, and everything is still variable.

If an uncle like the Li family appeared in Nanjing City, the past that they fled when they were in distress would definitely be turned out, and the Li family could only be the black on the face of the emperor's eldest son.

You can't fight for a little brilliance for your daughter (sister), and you have to smear your grandson (nephew) on your grandson's (nephew's) face for the sake of wealth, which is too inhuman.

Father Li is unwilling to seek wealth so embarrassingly, and Li Kun really has plans to stay incognito for the rest of his life.

But now it's a good opportunity.

Over the years, incognito has been able to wash away a lot of the shame of the Li family, as long as he can persist here, even if he really burns the natives to death in the end, it can be said to be the finishing touch to the entire Li family.

This is a kind of persistence and integrity, which can not only completely polish the shame of the Li family, but also erect the image of the Li family.

- Have a backbone!

Li Kun didn't expect his son to get a marquis, but his own death, his unyielding loyalty, how could he exchange his son for an uncle?

In exchange for the new life of the Li family, and also added glory to the eldest son of the empress, Li Kun did not have much fear of death.

The temptation of hunger and food was even less worth mentioning to him.

After many years of trader career, measuring the gains and losses of profits has become his subconscious reaction.

Now he is not suffering, but tempering.

It is a piece of dog's head gold in the flames, and the longer and stronger Li Kun is tempered in the fire, the higher the gold content of the real gold will be, and the more valuable it will be.

When the sun went down and the day turned again, the guards had already finished their food. A bowl of thin rice soup was placed at the door of the cell, and less than half a meter away from the rice soup there was a fragrant strip of soup, accompanied by beautiful chicken porridge.

Li Kun opened his eyes and looked at the guards in the dimness, and when his eyes really adjusted to the dim light, a strong killing intent flashed away on him. If he dies in Yogyakarta, it will be fine, if he can die, he vows that he will definitely give these Yogyakarta people with short swords in their backs a good look!

Without the backdrop of strength, all Li Kun's hatred is delusional and false.

The world of the earth is material, and it will not cause half real damage because of his hatred.

Li Kun moved to the door of the cell with difficulty, and drank the bowl of rice soup with all his might.

……

The alarm bell of "bell ......" sounded from the mast of the Marlin 12 [medium-sized flying shear bow sailboat]. A quiet Marlin 12 was instantly busy when it landed. The signal flag was hoisted, and a destroyer not far from Marlin 12, the Swordfish 8, was also busy in an instant.

The gun jacket was removed, the shells were loaded, and the gunners of each gun position were in place. Dragon Bullets are always ready to fire!

Ye Tingyang, who personally led the patrol, looked at the vast sea in front of him, and the lookout of Marlin 12 had just sounded the alarm, and there was a fleet coming ahead, at least six of them, which must be Dutch.

So many days have passed since the Surabaya incident, and Batavia has long known the specific situation. The reason why the fleet was sent here may be to learn that although the Chinese sailors controlled Surabaya, they did not infringe on the city hall at all. He even let the Dutch military police continue to come to work, expressing their attitude with practical actions.

Only then did the Dutch send their precious detachment to come.

But in any case, when encountering an unidentified fleet on the sea, it is the first thing to prepare for battle. "Raise the battle flag, and prepare all positions for battle—"

Ye Tingyang was very calm in his heart.

In the current situation in Nanyang, it is their young and strong faction that is happy. If they don't fight, how can they be promoted.

The young and strong faction of the army has reached the throne of division commander, but the navy is still in the second line position. The 'admirals' on that line are still the old men.

For example, Ye Tingyang, he first served in the Southeast Naval Division, and then transferred to the Nanyang Naval Division, and now he is directly under the jurisdiction of the Dadu Governor's Office. The rapid response fleet to which it belongs, a flying shear bow sailing ship, costs a lot.

However, the shear bow sailing ship has always faced strong competition from the orthodox sailing boats, and as more and more problems with the flying shear bow sailing ship are leaked, the voice of the Metropolitan Government in favor of the orthodox sailing ship is getting louder and louder.

Ye Tingyang's current position is to lead the commander, because the specifications of the rapid reaction fleet are lower than those of the major fleets. He was now very anxious about war, not only because it was a great shortcut for him to jump to the 'Admiral', but also because it would prove the power of the flying shear warship and add a heavy bargaining chip to his side in the battle for shipbuilding funds.

The army, everything is based on the real results.

"General Capello, two sailing ships have been spotted ahead!" At the same time that the Marlin 12 lookout spotted the Dutch fleet opposite, the most current warship of the Dutch fleet also spotted Marlin 12.

This warship was the flagship of the Dutch fleet, the ship of Rear Admiral Capello van Simon, and the command ship of the Far East Fleet, Fort Middle!

"Two?" Capello wasn't surprised. He was well aware of the strength of the Chinese, and before the fleet set out from Batavia, he already knew the entire land and water forces of the Chinese in Surabaya.

In order to show their attitude, the Chinese have only six warships in Surabaya from beginning to end. The warships that escorted supplies and soldiers to Surabaya often returned to Belitung or West Borneo along with the transport ships that unloaded the men and supplies.

The Chinese naval division in Surabaya has always been a fleet of six Chinese warships.

"It's the Chinese's flying shear bow warship, which is very fast, and is heading towards us."

The lookout on the mast waved small flags and waved the same words down the same flag over and over again.

Capello made the same choice as Ye Tingyang in the face of this situation, "Order the fleet to be on guard, everyone is in position, ready to fire at any time-"

Capello, of course, will not take the initiative to open fire, and collided with the Chinese fleet, and it is more likely to fire a salute. But you can't just take precautions.

The situation in Europe is becoming more and more tense, and the news of the declaration of war by the Gallic rooster on John Bull has not yet reached the Far East, but the news of the arrival of European merchant ships in the Far East has made everyone know that the atmosphere in Europe has become more tense.

The powder keg was on the verge of exploding. At this time, the Netherlands and China did not have the capital to compete. Of course, he can't afford to lose the face of the Netherlands! But when he led the fleet out of port, Capello had already discussed with Governor Jacob von Loulen that he must not cause a substantial war with the Chinese. The situation was not pretty, and the Dutch needed to be patient and wait for the dust to settle in Europe, when the Dutch counterattack began.

The Chinese Empire of the Big Mac model was too strong and too strong for the Netherlands to contend with, and to counterbalance the Chinese's ambitions for the East Indies, the Netherlands had to gather the forces of Britain and France.

The warships of the two sides gradually approached, and the distance narrowed little by little, and both sides could clearly see the size of each other's warships.

The two Chinese flying shear bows, one large and one small, together were not as large as the Fort Middle, which was at Capello's feet. But Capello, who was standing in the bow of the Fort Middle, looked at the two Chinese warships gliding on the surface of the sea like arrows, and his expression was full of caution.

The strange and powerful weapon, combined with the extreme speed of this Chinese-made Western-style sailing ship, allowed this small boat, which could only be used as cannon fodder in Western naval warfare, to exert its energy to easily hunt down giant ships.

"Rapid Response Fleet!" The real deal.

The fleet of these small and medium-sized shear-bow galleons is an extremely sharp blade, and all the influential powers in the Far East have to be very wary of it.

Although this blade has not really been tested in a great war so far. No one dared to say that the edge it was showing now could really exert as much damage as people estimated in the test of blood and fire.

At the moment when the salute sounded, the hearts of the two commanders were rippled with two different emotions: 'regret' and 'joy'.

Two Chinese warships returned to the Surabaya dock with the Dutch Far East Fleet.

From a distance, it looks like a long dragon with two more pugs next to it.

The smaller size of the shear-bow ships was too far from the Dutch fleet led by the Fort Middle.

Seeing his warship sail into the port of Surabaya, the Dutchman, who was frowning sadly, breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed his depressed mood, and the morale of the Dutch military and police immediately recovered.

Even the Natives of Surabaya, who have been silent every day for all these years, dare to gasp for breath at the Chinese. (To be continued.) )
