"For what? We're not giving it away for nothing! We are buying from you for real money! Xie Wenbin said angrily, looking at Long Yufei's gaze, it was even more fierce. If this was not Manila, but Dongwanlu, the capital of Lanfang Kingdom, he would have killed Long Yufei a long time ago. As the son of an important person in Lan Fangguo, he has never been treated like this!
"Humph! These weapons are ours! We don't sell if we want to! If you don't want to sell, can you still force it to buy? Also, I warn you, don't look at me like that! Otherwise, don't leave Manila! Long Yufei said. He has always hated Xie Wenbin, the second generation of rich and officials. If he said that he still didn't understand it before, why would such a powerful country as Lanfang Kingdom fall into this field. Now, he understood. This is definitely the reason for these guys.
"You ......" Xie Wenbin stood up suddenly, pointed at Long Yufei, and wanted to scold. But in the next second, he swallowed all his words back. Long Yufei's chief guard, Li Hu, didn't know when Lu Dao had appeared behind him, a dagger was across Xie Wenbin's neck, and the cold feeling coming from the dagger made Xie Wenbin feel cold all over his body, and he almost trembled.
"Your Majesty! Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding! Wen Bin, he has been like this since he was a child, you can forgive him! Gu Yun hurriedly came out to play a round. If Xie Wenbin really lost his life in Manila. Then it's hard for him to go back. At the same time, he also regretted a little, knowing that he would not have brought this guy to Manila. Not only does it not help. On the contrary, it is still a mess.
Long Yufei waved his hand, and Li Hu removed the dagger from Xie Wenbin's neck. However, this also taught Xie Wenbin a lesson, and he was a lot more honest. However, from his eyes, there was still a hint of resentment flashing from time to time. It's just that Long Yufei doesn't care about this. In his eyes. Xie Wenbin is just a weak ant, if you want his life, you can do it at any time!
"Your Majesty. This time, we are sincerely buying weapons from Xinhuaguo! The Dutch relied on the power of firearms to constantly encroach on the territory of Lanfang. We were under a lot of pressure. Every month, a lot of Chinese die at the hands of the Dutch, you can't see death without help! Gu Yun looked at Long Yufei pitifully. In the eyes of him and the top management of Lan Fangguo, Long Yufei was a little too hard-hearted. For everyone's sake, we are Chinese. What's so bad about helping Lan Fangguo? Besides, now that Lan Fangguo is in trouble, if Xinhua helps Lan Fangguo through this difficulty, Lan Fangguo will definitely be rewarded in the future.
"Gu Gongzi! As you know, the Spaniards are coming, and we're preparing for the war at full strength! All weapons and ammunition are in storage, and they have no ability to sell them for the time being! Xinhua Foreign Minister Lin Zihao said. Of course. It's nothing more than a tactful excuse for refusal!
"Your Majesty! We can buy muskets from you at a higher price! At £15 per musket, this is already fifty percent higher than the price of a British rifle! Gu Yun hasn't given up yet. I want to try harder.
"Needless to say! Xinhua weapons will not be sold. Long Yufei said resolutely. The Exocet rifle is much more powerful than the breech guns used in the West. The reason why the Xinhua Army was able to defeat the Spaniards was that the performance of the weapons played a very key role. At the same time, the Xinhua Army also paid great attention to the secrecy of its weapons and put an end to the possibility of weapons being left behind. Otherwise, with the strength of the Western industrial powers, the Exocet rifle could be easily imitated. At that time, if the new Chinese army wants to defeat the enemy, I am afraid it will have to pay a greater price. Lan Fangguo has been almost infiltrated by the Dutch. If Xinhua sells weapons to them, maybe within a year, the entire European power will start switching to new rifles. At that time, Xinhua will be under more pressure!
"Your Majesty! Lan Fang is now in a very dangerous situation, and we are being attacked by the Dutch and the natives. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese are in danger, please let go of your prejudices and help us! Gu Yun pleaded. Whenever possible, he would not have asked for help in such a low voice. However, in the entire South Seas, except for Xinhuaguo, there is no one force that can help them!
Long Yufei pondered for a few seconds, and then said, "Xinhua Kingdom can help Lan Fangguo!" However, we have one condition! That is, Lan Fangguo was merged into Xinhua as a whole! The existing organizational structure of Lan Fangguo will be reorganized! Everyone has to be loyal to Xinhuaguo, and all officials have also been assessed by Xinhuaguo before they are used. ”
In terms of government affairs, the Government Council is responsible for handling the government affairs of the whole country, and is directly responsible to King Long Yufei. Locally, it was divided into a number of regions, which were managed by officials appointed by the Xinhua State. Of course, because Xinhua has just been established, there are still big loopholes in the talent pool. Many of the local officials are held by the children of major Chinese families. Of course, the police and other violent departments are in the hands of the old man from Flying Fish Island. The current Xinhua Kingdom is mainly divided into Xinhua City, Zamboanga City, Davao City, Cotabato City, Holo City and Sandakan City in the south, and Manila and surrounding areas in the north. As more and more Chinese immigrate to Xinhua, some new cities are being established.
After listening to Long Yufei's words, Gu Yun's face became very ugly, in his opinion, Long Yufei completely wanted to annex Lan Fangguo! Lan Fangguo is not a country smaller than Xinhua Country, swallowing it in one bite, aren't you afraid of indigestion?
"Your Majesty, is there no other way?" Gu Yun said a little lonely.
Long Yufei shook his head, although he knew that if the Lanfang Kingdom was destroyed by the Dutch, many Chinese would die in the war. However, in order to eliminate the rotten system of Lan Fangguo, he can only sit and wait for Lan Fangguo to perish, and then rescue those Chinese, so that they can follow Xinhua Kingdom with all their hearts.
"In that case, then we'll take our leave!" Gu Yun stood up, saluted Long Yu, and left. And Xie Wenbin got up and left directly, without any intention of saluting.
"Brother Yun, what should I do now? Back to East Wanlu? After the palace, Xie Wenbin asked.
"Hmmm! Since people don't save them when they see death, why do we continue to stay here? Gu Yun said with a somewhat gloomy face.
"Humph! These arrogant guys, I'll give them a little bit of a good look once I do! In Lanfangguo, aren't there many businessmen from Xinhuaguo? When we get back, we'll just find a few to arrest on charge! Xie Wenbin said with a grim face.
"Don't mess around! If we attack the merchants of Xinhuaguo, they will not give up! Gu Yun nodded. From the perspective of military strength, Lan Fangguo is too much worse than Xinhua Guo. If they provoke Xinhua Kingdom, they may directly send troops to attack Lan Fangguo. At that time, Lan Fangguo will have to bear it!
"Your Majesty, it seems that Lan Fangguo is really forced into a desperate situation this time! Are we really not going to save them? In the Xinhua King's Palace, in Long Yufei's study, Foreign Minister Lin Zihao asked.
"You also saw it, who are those guys in Lan Fangguo? If we save them, they won't be grateful! Besides, our weaponry is an important weapon for us to defeat the enemy. If it falls out, it will pose a great threat to the new country! Therefore, unless Lan Fangguo is merged into Xinhua and accepts our leadership. Otherwise, Xinhua would never have intervened in their war with the Dutch! Our main focus now is to deal with the Spaniards' counterattack! Long Yufei said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lin Zihao nodded. This time, the envoy sent by Lan Fangguo, he really didn't like it. Especially Xie Wenbin, that guy is completely a gentleman!
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is ready to pay close attention to the dynamics of Lan Fangguo. You can send people to Lanfang Country to attract the Chinese there to Xinhuaguo! I will allow the 4th Brigade in Sandakan to expand from east to west to support the actions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs! Long Yufei said. The 4th Brigade of the Xinhua Army was stationed at Sandakan, northeastern Borneo. It used to be the territory of the Sultanate of Sulu, but now it belongs to the Xinhua Kingdom. Based on an infantry battalion of the 1st Brigade, the Xinhua Army recruited local Chinese children to form the 4th Brigade. After more than half a year of training, the brigade has basically formed its combat effectiveness. In the battle to destroy the resistance of the Moro people, the performance is also very prominent. Borneo, the largest island in the South Sea, Long Yufei has always coveted it. The 4th Brigade will be the vanguard of the Xinhua State's forcible occupation of Borneo.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lin Zihao nodded. The rulers of Lan Fangguo are very fucked, but those Chinese at the bottom are innocent. Now, the only way to save as many Chinese as possible from the sea of suffering is to find a way.
After Lin Zihao left, Long Yufei summoned Niu Meng, chief of staff of the Xinhua Army and commander of the First Brigade, and Zhao Yi, director of logistics of the Xinhua Army, to discuss the use of troops against Borneo.
"Lan Fangguo is about to be unable to hold on. Because of our appearance, the Dutch felt the crisis, so they changed their strategy and stepped up their invasion of Lan Fangguo. The geographical location of Lanfang Country is very important, and there are still hundreds of thousands of Chinese there, we can't let the Dutch destroy Lanfang Country so easily! Long Yufei said.
