Hu Fakui led his subordinates to Sanfa, in fact, the development of Sanfa was earlier than Pontianak, which was only established five years ago, and Sanfa has existed for many years as an important port in West Borneo. www.biquge.info At this time, the power of Lanfang Company dominated Sanfa Port, but this dominance was also relatively limited. Sanfa is a river port city to be precise, not near the sea, Hu Fakui after surveying the hydrology, thinking that the ship of about 1,000 tons is not an obstacle, so he went upstream.

When Hu Fakui approached three times, he directly ordered his subordinates to take a sampan to dock, and there was almost no defense from Lanfang Company on the riverbank, so there was no hindrance, and Hu Fakui's subordinates occupied the dock and let their ships dock. There was no bloodshed during the whole process, the pirates took the shotguns and fired a few shots, shouting for a while, and Lan Fang's people fled in terror, and they had no desire to fight such a fierce enemy.

Lin Youde was a little worried, and said: "Commander Hu, this is the case and it will come directly to the door, I'm afraid it won't be convenient to negotiate." ”

Hu Fakui didn't care, and said with a smile: "Lin Daban said that he was joking, we took Luo Fangbo's brother-in-law before and swallowed more than 100 of their immigrants, this is already a grudge, I don't care about more." Deal with these people, if you don't give them some power, they will think that we are easy to bully. ”

Lin Youde knew that Hu Fakui was angry in Pontianak, and after coming from Pontianak, Lin Youde felt that there seemed to be something different in Hu Fakui's eyes.

"Commander Lin, do you already have a plan for how to deal with the affairs of the Chinese in West Borneo? Or report the matter to the country. It's better for the cabinet to decide, right? Lin Youde swallowed his saliva and said.

Hu Fakui waved his hand and said, "I'm going to the country for 20,000 miles, even if my Datang ship is fast." It's not easy to go back and forth. Moreover, Borneo is just an island in the South Seas, which does not hinder the overall situation, so it is okay to use some tricks. If it really breaks it, there will be a capable person like General Counselor Bai to wipe my ass. It's just that if I don't stir up this West Borneo now, my whole body will be refreshed! ”

Lin Youde was shocked. Said: "Commander Hu doesn't plan to use troops on this place?" However, we can count no more than 800 people, and there are tens of thousands of Chinese in West Borneo alone, and there are even more natives. How can we gain advantage from so many opponents? ”

Hu Fakui said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this, it's just a matter of pulling one faction to fight another, the military books I read since I was a child are not read in vain." ”

Hu Fakui accounted for three shots. did not embarrass the local Chinese. Let them go. Later, he found the owner of the ship surnamed Huang who came to pass with Li Nian, and ordered him to go to Dongwanlu to report the news. The owner of the boat surnamed Huang is not young, and his mind is also agile, he was stopped by Hu Fakui at sea, he knew that the power of the incense thieves was huge, and then he was plundered to the Hong Kong Water Village, and then saw the giant ship of the Tang Republic docking, and thousands of immigrants boarded the ship and left. Countless goods are trafficked here, and it is even more shocking that the incense thieves actually rely on such a big backer behind them.

The owner of the yellow boat also got Hu Fakui's promise. If he can get the errand done, his sailboat can be returned to him, and there is a reward waiting for him. If you want to serve Datang Business Travel in the future, it is not impossible. The owner of the yellow boat has lived all his life at sea, and naturally knows that there is a powerful backstage role. Obviously, in addition to the existence of the imperial court, that is, the incense thieves and the Tang people are the most powerful, if there is such a relationship, the East China Sea and the South China Sea can be obtained in the future. As for the people in Lanfang Company, they are just some mud legs who are not satisfied in the mainland, although there are tens of thousands of people under them, but their influence is limited to the local area, and it has no effect on the business of the Yellow Boat Owner.

Thinking about this section clearly, the owner of the yellow boat did his best to do things for Hu Fakui.

The owner of the yellow boat quickly arrived at Dongwanlu by small boat, and it happened that the Lanfang people who had fled back to Dongwanlu from Sanfa also arrived. It was not the first time that the owner of the Yellow Boat had arrived at Dongwanlu, and he arrived at Luo Fangbo's mansion with ease. At this time, the Lanfang company was not officially established, and it was in 1777 that Luo Fangbo officially raised the yellow flag of "Lanfang Great Rule" in front of the mansion. It's just that at this time, the Lanfang company has been formed, and the owner of the yellow ship reported his name and came to the lobby, where a golden plaque was hung in the hall, with four big characters on it: "Xiongzhen Huayi"! There are also guards standing guard everywhere, all dressed as soldiers of the Qing Green Battalion.

The owner of the yellow boat saw that Luo Fangbo and the big brother leaders were in the hall, and his expression was quite anxious, and there were a few leaders who came from Sanfa, obviously reporting the sudden situation of Sanfa. Some of these Lanfang leaders were dressed as ordinary Qing people, with horse coats and robes, and some were influenced by Westerners, and they were Europeans, but most of them still wore braids.

He first saluted the leaders, "The villain has seen your big brothers. ”

Luo Fangbo naturally knew the owner of the yellow ship, he was very scheming, and when he saw the owner of the yellow ship coming alone, he didn't show any other expression, but just asked, "Why didn't you think about it with the owner?" ”

The owner of the yellow ship kowtowed to Luo Fangbo and the others to apologize, "The villain pleaded guilty to Uncle Fang, originally the villain and Young Master Li had already brought one hundred and sixty-nine villagers from Jiaying Prefecture and were about to go to Dongwanlu, but who knew that they met a thief in Nanyang......"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was immediately shocked. Although they live far away in Borneo, the recent turmoil in the South Seas has caused all kinds of pirates to be cleared by this gang of incense thieves, and even the Dutch and Spanish ships have to hide away, and their power is self-evident.

One of the leaders who fled back from Sanfa shouted: "Sanfa was conquered by a gang of robbers, those people were armed with muskets and spears, and they were very fierce, according to people, it was the Nanyang incense thief!" ”

Luo Fangbo's brows finally furrowed, and he asked the owner of the yellow boat, "What about after that?" ”

"Back to Fangbo, although Young Master Li resisted bravely, Hu Fakui, the leader of the incense thieves, was brilliant in martial arts, and Young Master Li was not an opponent and was defeated. The whole ship was plundered to Hong Kong Island, the island outside Xinhui County where spices were transshipped, and now it has become a den of thieves. The villain can see with his own eyes that there are 10,000 pirates on Hong Kong Island, and the water village is camped and the scale is magnificent. Originally, when the villain thought that this was a great deal, several giant ships docked in Hong Kong. The villain listens to humanity. These ships came from a large country 20,000 miles away, called the Tang Republic, and were founded by our Chinese. Claiming to be a descendant of the former Tang Dynasty......"

At this time, a leader named Wu Yuansheng said: "The Tang Republic? Recently, people from their hometown in Guangdong have rumored that the Tang Republic is a country built by the descendants of the Tang people in the past, and there is no emperor in its country. The Tang Dynasty is rich and strong, and proficient in the art of manufacturing, and its various commercial goods are very popular. Merchants and ordinary people competed to buy. But I don't know, what kind of relationship does this Tang Republic have with the Nanyang incense thief? ”

The owner of the yellow boat said: "There is a secret in this. It turns out that like my Lanfang company, Datang opened overseas, manpower is scarce, although there are all kinds of magical things. But it is always the widows. Therefore, Datang tried its best to recruit immigrants from his homeland. It's just that the Qing Dynasty has many restrictions on its people going abroad, and the Tang Dynasty is too far away from the Qing Dynasty, so the Tang people made people create pirates on Hong Kong Island and build a water village, specifically for recruiting immigrants for transit, and at the same time want to control Nanyang commerce, rob the people who want to go abroad, and transfer them to the Tang Dynasty. ”

The leader Liu Taier said: "What do you mean." Our immigrants were all taken away by this Tang people? ”

The yellow boat owner said: "Exactly. The Tang people gave each of these people 20 silver dollars and 10 acres of land, and everyone abandoned Borneo and went to the Tang Dynasty. ”

This naturally caused an uproar in the hall, but Luo Fangbo's eyes were bright, and he stared at the yellow ship master and said: "What you said is a secret that is not passed on, why can you, a captured captain, know so much?" And, if you have been arrested, why are you the only ones who have come back, and my brother-in-law is nowhere to be seen? ”

The owner of the yellow boat kowtowed to Luo Fangbo again, and said: "Please forgive Uncle Fang, the reason why the villain was able to come back and explain the matter of this incense thief and the Tang Kingdom to the eldest brother is because the person in charge of the Tang Dynasty specially let the villain come back and tell the eldest brothers." ”

Luo Fangbo said: "The incense thief Tang people occupy me three times? I sent you back to say that I was in charge, what was my intention? ”

Huang Chuanzhu said: "This villain doesn't know, the villain is just talking for the Tang people, and the Tang people are in charge, hoping that Fang Bo or other big brothers will go to Sanfa and communicate with him, saying that there are benefits waiting for the sky, and he wants to cooperate with Lan Fang." ”

Liu Taier hurriedly said: "Brother Tai, don't fall for this incense thief, those thieves must want Brother Tai to take down Brother Tai after the third shot, so that my company will be leaderless, so as to encroach on my Lanfang's chassis." ”

Wu Yuansheng hesitated: "It's just that Nianlai is being detained by the Tang people, if there is no reaction, I'm afraid that the Tang people will kill Nianlai." ”

Luo Fangbo thought about it, and suddenly said: "My Lanfang company is to protect the livelihood of the Hakka brothers in Borneo, and the Tang people came from afar to be bandits and harm my brother's foundation, how can I tolerate it?" Brother Wu, please order my Lanfang brothers, distribute weapons, and our side will send three troops to recapture our Lanfang's territory. ”

He glanced at the surprised Yellow Ship Master and said, "This person is treacherous and used by the enemy, so he should be beheaded to show the public as an example!" ”

The yellow boat owner was terrified, and said loudly: "Uncle Fang, you can't, the villain is just an ordinary boatman, not Lan Fang's son, why do you want to execute me?" ”

Luo Fangbo sneered: "Committed to the thief, the scourge of goodness, shouldn't you be killed?" With the blood of this traitor, for the brothers who went out on the expedition, sacrifice the flag! ”

Suddenly, the crowd in the hall was excited, and the fighting spirit was high. It's just that the leader Wu Yuansheng was a little worried, and he secretly said to Luo Fangbo: "After all, the Tang people are an overseas country, and they are not the same as a company like ours, and they have a force like incense thieves, rampant in the South Seas, we provoked them so easily, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse." ”

Luo Fangbo said: "Brothers, deal with coastal thieves, are there still fewer times? Even if this incense thief is powerful, he is still a group of thieves after all. I don't know what the Tang people have planned, but if we don't resist at all, we will surrender immediately, and I'm afraid we will have to be at the mercy of others in the future. Brother Wu must remember this battle, the first thing is not to kill the enemy, but to understand the strength of the Tang people, if it is a group of rabble, it will be destroyed, if it is quite strong, we must also fight regardless of the winner or loser, and let them know that it is powerful, no matter what their plans are in the future, it will not make us Lan Fang a head shorter than them. ”

Wu Yuansheng was originally the head of Jusheng Company, but later because his skills were not as good as Luo Fangbo, he became Luo Fangbo's subordinate. (To be continued.) )
