In the government of Dongwanlu Lanfang Company, Hu Fakui is the first. The pen fun and pavilion defeated Lan Fang www.biquge.info three shots and one battle, and captured Lan Fang's brother Luo Fangbo, as well as a group of leaders with relatively high status. Then he took his men all the way to Dongwanlu, and after seeing Luo Fangbo captured, the Lanfang people of Dongwanlu did not resist, and directly disarmed and surrendered, saving Hu Fakui a lot of trouble.

"If you want to kill or chop, listen to the respect, just ask the respecter not to embarrass my many brothers of Lanfang." Luo Fangbo described the withered and gray defeat, before the three rounds of troops, he was still a little high-spirited, and he didn't take the incense thief as a thing, but after really feeling everything on the battlefield, Luo Fangbo realized how naïve and stupid he was before.

He thought that he had established a country in West Borneo, achieved a foundation, and held a force in his hands that was enough to be admired, but his deeds were nothing in the eyes of the real bigwigs, and Hu Fakui defeated his arms with a flick of his fingers and captured him.

Although Hu Fakui sat on the first seat, he did not look arrogant, but his face was calm, and he said: "Brother Luo, this time our two families are at war, in fact, there are a lot of misunderstandings, causing many brothers to be killed and wounded, and I am also heartbroken. I am not afraid to make it clear to Brother Luo that behind our incense thieves is the overseas Chinese country 20,000 miles away, the Datang Republic, and I myself am also a Datang naval officer. This Mr. Lin Youde is the principal of Datang International Trade Company, responsible for transoceanic trade. ”

Lin Youde nodded lightly at Luo Fangbo.

Luo Fangbo is scheming and wise. Definitely will not drill the horns, on the contrary, he will choose the right response at the right time, which is also Lan Fang's migration from the first hundred poor Hakka miners. The key to the development of an overseas political organization that lasted for 111 years.

He simply said very shamefully: "I don't know that the incense thief was built by the righteous warriors of the Tang Dynasty, and there are many misunderstandings, thinking that the honorable driver is going to infringe on my Lanfang brothers, so he recklessly sent troops, which is indeed a sin in the next." ”

Hu Fakui climbed along the pole: "Don't blame those who don't know." Speaking of which, when I came to Borneo, I also admired the heroes of Brother Luo. I hope to cooperate with Brother Luo. ”

Since Hu Fakui Yan Ming can cooperate, then there is a glimmer of hope, at least Luo Fangbo does not have to be killed. In a better situation, he will not be detained or ousted from power, Luo Fangbo immediately said: "Listen to me." ”

Hu Fakui smiled slightly and said: "Datang is also built by Chinese overseas, and it has always supported my Chinese and Miao descendants to operate and expand overseas. How vast the world is. Although the sons and daughters of China were born in their homeland and grew up in their homeland, they should broaden their horizons. Borneo is a treasure island in the South Seas, rich in products, and without a strong native dynasty, it is a place that the Chinese need to work hard to acquire. I am also interested in Borneo, a tropical climate that allows for the cultivation of a variety of crops and produces gold, silver and other minerals. To fund the needs of our Datang industry. ”

Luo Fangbo's eyes flashed, and he said, "Datang has taken a fancy to Borneo. Want to pocket it? ”

Hu Fakui nodded and said: "It's not bad for you to say that, there are more than 100,000 Chinese immigrants in West Borneo, and the foundation is good. Datang has a strong heart and can make this a country of abundance for our Chinese. ”

Luo Fangbo is not so easy to fool, he said: "Borneo is indeed as the adults say, quite rich, but this place is also full of dangers, the outside by the local tribes eyeing the tiger, although some are obedient, but more of them are in conflict with our Chinese from time to time. The Dutch have also intensified their snooping on West Borneo over the years, and although it is unlikely that the Dutch will disintegrate our Chinese forces for a while, they can deal a heavy blow. However, our Chinese ethnic group itself has many companies, each with its own contradictions, and it is impossible to twist it into a rope. Also, Datang lives 20,000 miles away, and although he has the heart to support my Borneo Chinese, there are always many inconveniences. ”

"You don't need to worry about this, just look at our Datang's transoceanic trade, there are more than 20 cargo ships between Datang and Qing every year, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger, this time we took more than 3,000 immigrants from Guangdong in one go, although Borneo is slightly farther than Guangzhou. However, whether it is the supply of materials and weapons, or the direct dispatch of military forces, it is not a problem. Lin Youde interjected.

Hu Fakui continued: "As for the forces such as the natives and the Dutch you mentioned, they are not worth a fortune in the eyes of my Tang army, although the incense thieves I led are all brave and have good combat power, but if my Tang army comes, several times the incense thieves will not be able to defeat the Tang army." As for the Dutch, they are just a few small boats, or thousands of miscellaneous soldiers with little organizational power, who want to destroy them, and they are easy to write. ”

Hu Fakui paused, and then said: "As for the contradictions and conflicts between local Chinese companies, this is the reason why I want to cooperate with Brother Luo." ”

Luo Fangbo's heart froze, and he asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Hu Fakui sat there and smiled, and said, "Before coming to Sanfa, I originally wanted to go ashore in Pontianak, but the gang in the Heshun General Hall didn't give face, and I was a little annoyed. The character of Heshun's head office, I don't think there is anything surprising, although the joint fourteen companies have made the largest company in West Borneo, but I feel that Heshun has no development potential. Datang wants to flourish in West Borneo, but it doesn't want to see companies contradict each other, and everyone is fighting their own battles, and there are no established laws and rules, and it all depends on mutual agreement, which can't be done. Datang has a whole set of strategies that can be applied to West Borneo, but the premise is that Datang does not want to see any companies that do not follow orders and do their own thing. Therefore, before the official office of the Tang Dynasty was opened in West Borneo, I had to first subdue all the people who were not convinced, and those who were not convinced would be killed. ”

Luo Fangbo could see that Hu Fakui was not joking, and he was panicking and even more aware of an important opportunity in front of him. The Tang Dynasty wants to take Borneo, and they also have the ability. Just the group of incense thieves has nearly 10,000 people, and Luo Fangbo has already experienced the power of incense thieves, and his Lan Fang's children were beaten to the ground, and there were many casualties. And Hu Fakui actually said that the military strength of the Tang Dynasty is far superior to that of the Xiang Thieves, as long as the Tang Dynasty sends a force to come, then there must be no force in Borneo that can fight it.

Luo Fangbo's plan had been decided, and he asked tentatively: "Lord Hu, if I, Lan Fang, am willing to attach the Tang Jiwei, I don't know what arrangements the adults have for us?" ”

Hu Fakui said: "This naturally can't be treated badly, when the Tang Dynasty opens a government in Borneo, there will be an important official position to pay the elder brother and the leaders." This company system, after the reform of my Datang, will continue to exist, and it is also good for those who do not want to be officials and want to continue to run the company. And at that time, with the protection of Datang Tianwei, the passage of laws and regulations, and all kinds of policies to benefit the people, West Borneo will inevitably usher in better development, and our Chinese life is more superior, and the company's output is more. ”

Lin Youde also said: "My Datang has always upheld the importance of the people, and I came to Borneo for the purpose of my Chinese colonizing overseas and developing Borneo." Brother Luo doesn't need to worry, there is absolutely no bullying of civilians in my Tang Dynasty, and the people's taxes are also low, and they will open schools, hospitals and other facilities for the local area to facilitate and benefit the people. ”

His own interests can be protected, and Luo Fangbo is generally at ease. In fact, since Lanfang was built, it has always tried to attach the Manchu Qing Dynasty, of course, this kind of attachment is actually more beneficial to Lanfang. First of all, after attaching it, at least Luo Fangbo can get the title of "king", which is for him a poor talent who has tried and failed, it is simply the smoke from the ancestral tomb and the pinnacle of life. Secondly, Lan Fang is by no means the only force in West Borneo, and other forces such as Heshun are even slightly better than Lan Fang, and getting the status of a vassal state naturally forms a huge competitive advantage over other forces, and it is also a deterrent. Also able to deter is the Dutch, who have always been more afraid of China, and the Dutch, who have official backing, do not dare to move easily.

Of course, Qianlong did not see through Luo Fangbo's intentions, and the attitude of the more scholarly class towards overseas abandonments was bad, so this kind of attachment has not been successful.

Of course, Luo Fangbo wants a big backer, with his own hard work, although Lan Fang has developed, but has suffered many setbacks, and has been defeated by Tiandihui and Heshun Company, and has also suffered losses from the local natives. If there is someone behind Lan Fang, then natural survival is guaranteed. Under the healthy development, Lan Fang can grow, and Luo Fangbo can also get greater benefits from it.

In fact, as the leader of the company, such a company with the characteristics of a rural kinship association, the benefits that can be produced for him are limited. Although Luo Fangbo was able to mobilize resources, he himself did not get much benefit. Every leader in the company stared at him, and the supervision was very powerful. As a brother, he can get a salary of his own, and even ordinary leaders below do not take money, and they usually have to participate in production.

Is such a leader comfortable or is it comfortable to be a guaranteed official directly? I'm afraid this is an obvious question.

So, Luo Fangbo nodded and said: "Datang Gaoyi, I, Luo, am willing to work for Datang, pacify Borneo, open peace for my overseas Chinese people, and make a living." ”

Hu Fakui and Lin Youde glanced at each other, and each had a smile on their faces.

After that, Luo Fangbo generally recovered some of Lan Fang's strength, and brought back all the people who had fled in all directions before, while Hu Fakui stayed in Dongwanlu himself, sent Yu Ying back to Hong Kong, and brought his subordinates with him. Lim also departed for China to report the development of Borneo to the cabinet. (To be continued.) )
