Chapter 158 China South Ocean Company
Wan Dafu glared, this time Lord Qin specially instructed himself when he was leaving, this announcement must be handed over to Lu Zhiyuan, and when we get overseas, we must pay attention to the relationship with the local Chinese, we are going to protect the Chinese, as long as it is a force that can be wooed, we will try our best to win it over, of course, if it is the scum among the Chinese, it will naturally be eliminated......
However, this situation is more special, several officers crowded in a room, and after discussing for a while there was no conclusion, at this time, the officer who was observing at the window reported that the scholar Liu Hong had returned to the ship to rest!
Several officers stared at each other for a while, and only came to the conclusion that they could adapt to the situation, Wan Dafu ordered to continue to monitor closely, and sent two teams of soldiers to be on standby 24 hours a day, and there must be no mistakes!
Liu Hong returned to the boat naturally with a lot of thoughts, it is obvious that he may have hit a big luck this time, but this luck is not something he can hit if he wants to, not only to bump, but also to fight, if he is an insignificant character, this Lord Qin will definitely not value it, he must have something to do!!
He immediately ordered that all the leaders and minions should not leave the ship, stay on the ship to eat and sleep in peace, and whoever dares to go out and toss around, let him know, and sink directly into the sea! The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this Lord Qin was really a martial god, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't miss this opportunity. [Full Text]
For three days, he hid in the cabin and buried himself in writing, and he wanted to write something that was enough to reflect his own weight and use it to fight for a chance for himself to play.
On the fourth day, Ding Qidu, the leader of his subordinates, found that the big boss was a little crazy in the past two days, and came in to report to him, saying that the fleet of the Mawei Shipping Company was going to anchor and set off, and sent someone to ask if he would continue to follow......
"Follow! Lao Tzu followed to the end this time! Liu Hong said viciously, startling Ding Qiyi.
"Big brother, are you okay?" Ding Qi peeked at the boss, since the boss went ashore once, he was not in a normal state of mind when he came back, could it be that there is something in the port of Subic Bay that should not be seen?
Liu Hong also realized that he was distracted, and laughed, "Xiao Qi, get off the boat with me now and go to meet the general of the Nanyang Naval Division!" โ
"Big brother, don't you want to go to Zhao'an! We are far away from the emperor this day, but the court doesn't take us seriously! Ding Qi seriously wanted to make this big brother sober up.
"Xiao Qi, you know a ball, this time I am Bo Shang's life, if it is done, you and my brother will be flying in the future, if Bo loses, do you think that these days, so many people get on the boat, they will not be able to guess our details!"
Ding Qiyi heard that how could people know the details of his own bandits, and wanted to open his mouth to let Liu Hong slide his feet immediately, but he was dragged off the boat together, and Liu Hong was in front of him, and directly ran to the "Dengyingzhou" battleship of the naval division.
As soon as Wan Dafu passed a few days, he saw that Liu Hong was stuffy in the cabin and didn't come out, but he didn't pay attention to him anymore, and today was also a routine question, and in the end, he pondered the way these people came from, but he didn't expect the other party to come directly to the door!
As soon as they met, Liu Hong came directly to the end, "General, the villain is the son of the Malayan tycoon Liu, the life on the sea in this South China Sea, seeing the general Huwei and Lord Qin's Tianwei, I am willing to change my past and serve the adult!" โ
Wan Dafu originally laid out the manpower, reserved the back hand, and directly arrested it if the situation was not right, but this one seemed to be too deferential, and these methods were a little useless, and the officer next to him said: "Liu Hong, you are eating at sea, our general has known for a long time, if you don't arrest you, it will also hinder the face of everyone who is Chinese!" This surrender to the army has to be a name, you are from an unknown source, it is useless to come and talk nonsense with the general!"
At this time, Ding Qi, who was lying behind Liu Hong, was already in a cold sweat, his eldest brother was really saving his life, the general was angry, it was just dragged out and clicked, and the other party's cannon bombarded his own wooden boats, it was not easy...... Now that people are going to vote for the name, the eldest brother is ready to give up all the money he has earned over the years!!
He was thinking wildly, but he heard Liu Hong not panic and said: "General, the villain is also a force in Palawan, and there are 500 brothers who dare to gamble for their lives, but in the past, when they did business, Chinese businessmen also drew a lottery, and they would never be killed, mainly to do the business of foreign merchants, but they have a little understanding of the various forces in the South Seas, so I wrote this "Brief List of South Sea Forces" and presented it to the general!" โ,
Anyway, take out the booklet he has written hard in the past few days and send it to him, Wan Dafu is obviously interested in this scholar who has such courage and ability, but he is also interested, Lord Qin wants to do things in Nanyang, this knowing himself and knowing the other is a must, I didn't expect this scholar to be able to follow the will of the adult, take out such a thing, but he is also a character, it seems that he has to win it over......
Thinking of this, he took the booklet, looked up and down at Liu Hong, who was still lying there at this time, thought about it, and said, "Liu Hong, get up and talk, talk about your booklet!" โ
At this time, Liu Hong naturally knew that the most difficult first level had passed, so he got up and told the information he knew one by one, and waited until he finished talking with Wan Dafu, which was already a few hours later. \ Chastity hand beating shouda8.\ This guy is indeed a ruthless character, and the information he knows, there may be many people here in Nanyang who know more and more details than him, but he is the first to sort out these things and take the initiative to send them up......
After Wan Dafu talked about it in detail, he naturally understood the benefits of this Liu Hong, and immediately sent an urgent telegram from Olongapo City to Mawei, but at this time, Qin Kai had already set off to Guangzhou to take office, and this telegram once again chased to the yamen of the governor of Guangzhou......
Immediately instructed, copy a few copies of the booklet, and bring it to Lu Zhiyuan's side, this is important information, and this Liu Hong, he directly promised a six-grade Qianzong background, if he is willing to be an official in Nanyang, he can be the governor of a place in the future, if he is willing to come to the army to do things, he will be given a post in the future.
A day later, the telegram arrived at Subic Bay, and the reorganization of his army of pirates was immediately carried out in Subic Bay. Liu Hong is also a person with powerful means, otherwise he is a scholar and businessman, how can he suppress such a group of bandits, and the leaders under him gave 10 of them at one time from the seventh rank of Qin Kai,
He immediately summoned the leaders of his subordinates, and immediately promised that if they were unwilling to continue to follow, they would be given 300 taels of silver per person to disperse the gang, and those who were willing to continue to follow would get a good background, but if these bandits had a better way out, they would do this! In the face of the amazing achievements on display, Liu Hong's agitation was full of temptation, and soon the bandit leaders strengthened their determination to work for this important minister of the court who had never met before!
According to Qin Kai's requirements, several officers were inserted into Liu Hong's team to participate in the training of the pirates, and their stronghold was actually on the sea between Subic Bay and Borneo......
According to Qin Kai's arrangement, Liu Hong is still developing in the original stronghold, and there is no special task in the early stage, but first give them a Green machine gun and 30 single-shot rear-loading rifles, which is already a great force, so armed, the strength of this group of pirates suddenly jumped to the forefront of the generation of pirates in the Sulu Sea in the Philippines.
Six merchant ships that completed the cargo transaction, loaded with sugar and refined copper produced in the Philippines, were escorted back by the training fleet, and Wan Tai Fook continued to escort the rest of the merchant ships to the port of Kuching of the North Borneo Company, and visited Liu Hong's stronghold by the way, to be honest, this stronghold is not bad, in a bay in the southern section of Palawan, surrounded by mountains, it can be regarded as easy to advance and retreat.
Liu Hong then followed the fleet and continued to set off, and the rest of the pirates ...... This title should be corrected, it should be Ponytail Xinding under the leadership of several officers, and began training on the island in advance!
The huge fleet continued south, and finally reached the port of Kuching, a dilapidated port that surprised Wan Tai Fook, and the staff of the Mawei Shipping Company, who remained here to deal with the old man of the North Borneo company Ali Guo, reported to Wan Tai Fook that Lu Zhiyuan's fleet was operating in the south of Yamaguchi and Pontianak.
So the fleet continued to sail south, and when it arrived at the mountain pass Yangcheng at the southern tip of Borneo, it finally found two Nanyang naval division warships moored in the harbor, but the officers who stayed behind told him that Lu Zhiyuan and Chen Mo took the marines into the city to negotiate!
Take the Marines to the negotiations...... This sounds a little awkward, it seems to be explained that it is more practical to go to fight, Wan Dafu thought about it, he came here, and after handing over to Lu Zhiyuan, he was going to return, and he was really a little sorry for this voyage. ,
So he immediately found two soldiers who knew the way, ordered 100 elite soldiers on the ship, and let 100 people come out of the training ship, and drove into the mountain pass and foreign city, but the situation along the way made them feel a little abnormal, because there are too many Chinese in the city here, and from time to time there are Chinese who see this group of mighty soldiers, and there are many people who simply come up to ask......
Wan Dafu inquired with the soldiers who led the way, and found out that among the main residents here, Chinese accounted for 6 percent, and the person in charge of civil affairs and military affairs here was actually a Chinese group called Lanfang Company...... This is very understandable, this is the same as the British North Borneo company in Kuching Port!
It's just that the British company has English backing behind it, and this Lanfang company ...... Daqing doesn't seem to have heard of this number, this situation is very strange, and Wan Dafu is also a little unpredictable, but since he is Chinese, it is quite in line with Lord Qin's care for the object, this Lu Zhiyuan don't talk about it......
Thinking of this, Wan Dafu urged the soldiers who led the way to hurry up.
When it came to the ground, this situation was really hot enough, Lu Zhiyuan had already led people to surround the Yamen in the city, there were two tables outside the Yamen, Lu Zhiyuan sat on one side, and next to him sat an old man in his 60s and dressed well, and opposite him sat four Chinese in long shirts and horse coats with a difference in age, the oldest was about 60, and the youngest was only in his thirties.
Chen Mo didn't play with him, he stood not far away and commanded the soldiers to control the scene, and everywhere he saw was the army of the Nanyang Naval Division, and he was also very surprised by Wan Dafu who suddenly appeared, seeing that he brought so many soldiers and horses again, he laughed and hurriedly came up to greet him.
Wan Dafu saw that there were two rows of people sitting in the middle of the room, muttering about something, and he couldn't figure out the situation, so he asked Chen Mo: "Brother Chen, which one are you doing!" I brought the general order of Lord Qin, who is already the minister of Nanyang, and is now in charge of the civil and military affairs of Nanyang, and I also brought a notice to be distributed in Nanyang! โ
Chen Mo pulled him aside, and he already knew about Qin Kai's promotion over there, but he didn't say anything after looking at the announcement, he pointed to the middle of the field, and then pointed to the man next to Lu Zhiyuan, "Lord Qin sent a secret telegram before, let's come here to investigate, saying that there is a big island where Chinese gather here, we came, and we really found it, it is this Lanfang company!" The one next to Lu Guandao is Liu Asheng, the general manager of Lanfang Company! โ
Hearing the old man's name, Wan Dafu felt a little funny, he coughed dryly twice before holding back, and motioned for Chen Mo to continue.
"We went around in a few cities here in the name of doing trade, and the natives here are also headed by the Lanfang Company, which is also an alternative, Lord Qin has revealed the news, saying that this Lanfang Company has paid tribute to the imperial court, in Pontianak, we went to find this Liu Asheng, and planned to talk to him in the name of the imperial court, but the situation here has changed a lot, and Lord Qin did not expect it......"
"What's changed?" Wan Dafu also heard such a new thing for the first time, and couldn't wait to ask.
"Now the Dutch are putting pressure on the local natives everywhere, and there are also many contradictions within the Lanfang company, now this old man Liu can't manage the entire Lanfang company at all, if we come half a year later, it is estimated that there is no such Lanfang company here, and the big families of the Liu family, the Gu family, the Xie family, the Song family, and the Ye family in their company have long been at odds with each other......
When Wan Dafu heard this, he also guessed a thing or two, "Chen Mo, you won't be helping Old Man Liu make a gun!" โ
Unexpectedly, Chen Mo looked at him casually, "Brother Wan, you have to worry about this matter, we are only doing things for Mawei, in this matter, Lord Qin has already inquired clearly, these families are not together to survive in this Borneo, now they must not be able to rely on themselves, we have opened a Zhonghua Nanyang Company in the name of adults, Liu Asheng has already joined the company, if it is done, he is the manager here!" โ
"What do other people mean......
