December 25, 1845 A.D., Eastern Manlaw.

The inside and outside of the main hall of Lanfang Company has been hastily rearranged, and the flags and plaques that originally symbolized Lanfang Company and the Qing Dynasty have all been removed and replaced with the Sun and Moon Tonghui Flag representing Ji Shijun and Daming. The soldiers of the Jishi Army who were standing guard at the gate of the main hall compound were also replaced by soldiers of the Jishi Army wearing gray military uniforms and carrying brown bass guns on their shoulders, although everyone stood there, a little swaying, and they looked as if they were extremely tired, but in their looks, they still had excitement that could not be concealed. The Grand Duchy of Lanfang has been beaten out by the officers and soldiers who have only been carrying rifles and training for two months! The enemy army of 16,000 men collapsed in three or four days, and the Lan Fong Company, which had ruled West Borneo for decades, was now left with only the port of Pontianak under the protection of the Dutch.

The body of Andersen, a Dutch major who had been invincible in West Borneo, was now in a thin-skinned coffin, awaiting transfer to the Dutch East India authorities.

As for Liu Asheng, the "chief soldier of the Qing Dynasty", he was captured alive on the battlefield, and now he is detained in the dungeon of the Lanfang General Hall, waiting for Zhu Jishi's order to open the knife and behead.

There are also several major families such as Liu, Luo, Chen, Jiang, Xie, Gu, and Ye who were the most shili in Lanfang in the past, except for the marriage of the Luo family and Zhu Jishi, who naturally became the first family of Lanfang, the heads and core members of the other six families are now hiding in Pontianak, and they are in panic all day long.

In this battle, known as the "Battle of Xindang" in history, Zhu Jishi's three battalions of men and horses suffered a total of only 52 casualties! Well, this number seems to be a fantasy, but in this era, when the feudal army encounters a modern new army, it often dies so ugly!

In the Opium War a few years ago, the British army reported no more than 523 casualties, of which more than 300 died of plague. The British troops who were really killed by the Eight Banners, the elite of the Green Battalion, and the militia of "My Great Qing" were only 60 according to the figures announced by the British themselves.

Therefore, the casualties of Zhu Jishi's Jishi army when they encountered the Nanyang gang army and native soldiers who were even more scummy than the Qing army were really not low. If this battle is replaced by the lobster soldiers of the British Empire, there will be zero casualties!

And now, the whole army of the Jishi Army has been concentrated in Dongwanlu, except for a small number of officers and soldiers who are standing guard and guarding, most of them are stationed in the Lanfang General Hall, resting behind closed doors, in fact, they are just sleeping.

As for the "Qing army" and the native soldiers who were captured by them in the previous battle, they also made different disposals, and the high-level leaders of the "Qing army" were all taken into the dungeon, and whether to kill or release them had to wait for Zhu Jishi to make a decision. Ordinary "Qing soldiers" cut their braids and released them home, these people will be the people of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang in the future, and they are still pointing to them as soldiers to pay taxes! And the treatment of the natives is not so good, they found a place to circle it, and it was taken care of by the thugs of Heshuntang and Sixiutang, and when Lanfang was completely calmed, there were still many construction projects for them to work hard.

Zhu Jishi didn't sleep, and worked hard to handle official business in the study of the main hall. Liu Peng and Luo Xiangmei went to Yamaguchi Yang together a few days ago, on the one hand, they were waiting to get married - it is not in line with Chinese etiquette for a woman who has not yet visited the church to live in her husband's house every day; On the one hand, the overall situation of Lanfang has been decided, and Miss Luo needs to contact those Lanfang giants who are on the wrong side to discuss a way to make amends. And after she herself contacted several representatives of Chen, Jiang, Xie, Gu, Ye and other families, she went to Pontianak to contact the Dutch non-stop and tried to arrest the Liu family father and son.

Therefore, Liu Peng led several representatives of the big clans wearing long shirts and horse coats to Dongfang Law to apologize to Zhu Jishi. These people are now waiting at the door of the backyard of the main hall with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, holding big red incense candles (or the etiquette of apologizing daoqian on the rivers and lakes). Liu Peng himself took Luo Xiangmei's handwritten letter and went to meet Zhu Jishi in advance.

"Xiangmei doesn't want to be the grand duchess of Lanfang?" Zhu Jishi took Luo Xiangmei's handwritten letter, looked at it a few times, and then asked Liu Peng in a deep voice. How many families do you want me to let go of Lanfang?

"Yes, sir, Miss Luo means that she wants to take the position of Grand Duke of Lanfang as a dowry......" Liu Peng looked at Zhu Jishi and said, "Sir, this is a piece of the eldest lady's heart, you are not afraid of chilling the hearts of everyone in Lanfang." ”

"This dowry...... I was disrespectful. "Now that Lan Fangzhong's strength has been wiped out, Zhu Jishi wants to tear off the mask of not being a grand duke, and no one dares to say a word. However, Luo Xiangmei wants to hold the position of the female archduchess, and Zhu Jishi will not tear her face for the time being, and now she is willing to take the initiative to take a step back, which makes Zhu Jishi appreciate her as a person even more.

"The eldest lady also said that in the future, Grand Duke Lanfang's courtiers should be divided into several factions to be controlled, so the Ying Jia people's clan cannot be wiped out."

Zhu Jishi smiled, this is probably the emperor's mental trick, let his ministers be divided into several factions to pinch each other, and the emperor Lao Tzu will be an arbiter on top of him, so that the imperial power can be guaranteed, if the ministers below are ironclad, this emperor will probably have to do it.

Now there are very few descendants of Zhu Jishi, if you don't count foreign devils, there are only Liu Peng, Liu Jiong, and Han Si left, and they obviously can't control Lan Fang. Therefore, it is necessary to use Lanfang's head snake, which is the Yingjia clan of Lanfang's company system and the people of Heshun Company. If Zhu Jishi wiped out the Lanfang faction outside the Luo family, there would be no way to confront the He Shun faction by relying on the Luo family's liliang. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the Lanfang system!

Liu Peng's words continued, "However, the Shili of the Lanfang Liu family must be completely eradicated, and Liu Qianxing, Liu Asheng, and Liu Aliang will all die!" The entire Liu family's property in Lanfang must be confiscated, so that it can be an example. ”

Zhu Jishi nodded, just blindly forgiving, his subordinates will not know how to repay the kindness, only by giving both grace and power can the subordinates be respectful and afraid. Moreover, the Lanfang clan is now interceding through Luo Xiangmei...... Only when someone dies and has a broken family can Luo Xiangmei show that he has a deep affection, and the surviving Lanfang clan will be desperately used by Luo Xiangmei!

This woman is not simple!

In fact, it is not Luo Xiangmei who is clever, but China's thousands of years of civilization is a history of power struggle! has long been a good fighter, and who can stand out in the current Chinese circle, who is not a master of power? Zhu Jishi, a jishu man, fortunately, traveled to the United Kingdom, where the art of power struggle has not reached the level of purity, and the scientific and technological civilization is very developed, if he had worn it into the Great China circle from the beginning, he would have let a group of power players play to death.

The eldest lady also said that in addition to the Liu family, the few major families that are enemies of the lord can't be spared casually, and they still have to teach a lesson. The patriarchs of the Chen, Jiang, Xie, Gu, Ye and other major clans must retire and be replaced by the younger generations of the clan. ”

It's the Emperor's Mind again! Luo Xiangmei is a generation shorter than several old guys, and she has no common language, so she took this opportunity to oust them all and let her peers who have a good relationship with Luo Xiangmei succeed her. For these people, it was Luo Xiangmei who made them sit on the patriarch's throne, can they not be grateful to Luo Xiangmei?

"In addition, all the big families must send their children to study at Jishi University or Jishi College in Hong Kong to be your students."

This is a good idea, both as a hostage and as your own rebel team, killing two birds with one stone. Liu Peng looked at Zhu Jishi and nodded frequently, and then continued: "There are still a few things that are related to the interests of everyone in the Lan Fang family and the Shun family. The eldest lady believes that Lanfang Company and Heshun Company must be dissolved. In the future Grand Duchy of Lanfang, there must be no more companies with an armed separatist side, and Lanfang's territory should be divided into several counties, and the Lanfang court should appoint county orders to manage them. All gold mines in West Borneo had to be redistributed, registered, and approved for taxation, and all land in West Borneo had to be registered, and all land that had been cultivated was taxed. ”

Now that a country has just been established, it is the time to make rules, and if the rules are broken now, it will be difficult to clean up in the future. Fortunately, Zhu Jishi did not rely on the support of the Lanfang clan to control a country, and this Lanfang's world was defeated! Therefore, this Lan Fang's rules can be dictatorial by him alone, and others, including Luo Xiangmei, only have the right to suggest!

Thinking of this, Zhu Jishi waved his hand, interrupted Liu Peng, and said, "Okay, let's get here first, now let the representatives of the Lanfang clan outside come in to pay a visit!" ”
