Li Hui understands that it is human nature to value profits, but the problem is that the new government's policies will cut off most of their original financial resources, and the government will not be able to compensate the poor in the country with enough benefits to compensate them when they are still struggling to survive. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If it was like the rebel generals in China who had helped the new regime greatly, then there was a reason to be particularly lenient, but unfortunately, the Nanyang Chinese businessmen did not contribute at all in the process of the rise of the Datong Party, so Li Hui naturally did not make an exception for it......

As the saying goes, "cutting off people's financial means is like killing parents." Based on national feelings, Li Hui will not easily engage in physical extermination, but he will not be as stupid as Xiao Jiang who can't distinguish "who is our enemy and who is our friend." "And make a big mistake.

After figuring out this, there is no longer a warm vein, but in this way, it is convenient to directly pick out the matter, Li Hui no longer needs to persuade Zhang Zhenxun, just give him a mandatory order, "No matter what your opinions, the migration of the Javanese Chinese must be carried out, and I will not give too much time, the clearance will start in mid-September at the latest, and the work must be completed before then." If there are more than 400,000 overseas Chinese who have moved out at that time, the government will compensate you in full for your losses, and will also give certain rewards as appropriate; If it is less than 300,000, not only will there be no compensation, but you will also be punished accordingly; If it's not even 200,000 (which is almost certainly dragging its feet)...... You're just waiting for the whole house to be slashed! ”

"What?" , Zhang Zhenxun looked incredulous, even the Dutch colonial authorities were polite to him at least on the surface, how dare Li Hui be so unreasonable? But soon he understood, "Yes, as the so-called desireless is rigid, the Dutch respect me on the surface so that I can make money for them, and since the Datong Party is ready to run its own business, it naturally does not need an agent like us, and it has no scruples about asking for me." ”

Zhang Zhenxun became more and more resentful in his heart, but he had to bow down and obey orders, although Li Hui was not an emperor, but he was more authoritative than any emperor in history, if he wanted to kill the whole family, he really wanted to kill the whole family, and what was even worse was that under the control of the pervasive regime of the Datong Party, the Zhang family had nowhere to escape, especially now that the ports they had to pass through were under the control of the Chinese Navy, it would be even more difficult to climb to the sky.

Seeing Zhang Zhenxun's performance, Li Hui couldn't help but sigh secretly, "Chinese businessmen and old literati are both virtuous, reasoning with him will only fuel his arrogance, but it is easier to work directly, think about the traitor of the Ming Dynasty merchants and the deference ...... after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs."

Of course, deference is only a superficial attitude, after all, it is a great enmity when the financial route is cut off, and it is impossible to have no resentment in his heart, and Li Hui also understands this, but he doesn't care at all.

Because Li Hui is young enough and alive enough to fully grow up the groups that benefit from the new system, by that time, even if the old and young who have completely lost the right to speak in mainstream society continue to bark, they will only laugh in vain.

Indeed, as Li Hui expected, although Zhang Zhenxun was forced to submit, he became more and more resentful of Li Hui and the Datong Party in his heart, but he did not have the courage to resist tyranny, so he could only pin his hopes on the foreign people......

To say that Zhang Zhenxun is not wrong, the authority of Li Hui and the Datong Party is based on incomparably strong military strength and brilliant victories again and again, and the foundation is actually very weak, once defeated in the decisive battle between China and Britain, the previous seemingly flowery good situation is likely to be quickly shattered. But the question is, can the British really win?

Well, at least Vice Admiral Edward Hobart Seymour, the commander of the British Expeditionary Fleet, is now very confident, because with six Sovereign-class battleships and six large cruisers under his command, it can be said that the British Royal Navy has ever had the most powerful fleet, even if the naval capital ships of the entire European continent are concentrated, they may not be their opponents. In Seymour's view, with such a strong strength, how can it be invincible to deal with a Chinese navy with a weak foundation like the nouveau riche?

However, Vice Admiral Seymour, who was a second-generation officer and had always been prosperous and had not experienced much adversity, did not think carefully about how the command of this fleet could fall into the hands of him, the commander of the reserve fleet who had just been promoted to vice admiral, if this battle was really so easy to fight.

"I hope that Seymour idiot doesn't lose all those capital ships." Perhaps the only thing that made him feel a little relieved was that before the expeditionary fleet set off, he tried his best to transfer some young talents he was very optimistic about from those warships in time, so that the revival of the British Royal Navy in the future was a little more confident......

However, although Seymour was a little blindly confident, he was quite cautious when commanding, and did not make even a single low-level mistake. For example, during the route of the march, Seymour vetoed the suggestion of dividing the troops to let the cruiser with a shallow draft go through the Suez Canal so that they could reach Bombay earlier, and preferred to let them follow the battleship around the Cape of Good Hope, on the grounds that the cruiser would not be able to engage the enemy head-on even if it arrived first, and the time difference before the capital ship arrived in Bombay was not enough for them to complete a mission, which did not make much sense, but it might give the enemy a chance to break through, and this risk was not worth taking.

After arriving at the Cape of Good Hope, some people proposed that the fleet not go to Bombay, sail directly from Durban to Australia, and then go north through the Sunda Strait to raid Singapore, which was also vetoed by Seymour, who believed that the Chinese government still sent troops to occupy Batavia even though it knew that it would create one more enemy, and must have realized the possibility of the British fleet sneaking up on Singapore through the Sunda Strait, so it was impossible to fail to take precautions. It would be better to go north along the east coast of Africa in a step-by-step manner, go north to Mumbai, India, to maintain supplies, and then sail directly into the Strait of Malacca to seek an opportunity for a decisive battle with the main fleet of the Chinese Navy.

This can't help but impress Fisher and other experts of the British Royal Navy, but they don't know that Seymour just thinks that he will win, so he doesn't need to use those tricks that may be clever but mistaken by cleverness, and for the Chinese Navy, this kind of hard-fought head-on decisive battle is exactly what they want......
