816 [The envoys of the festival are all ruthless]

Liu Hanyi was born in the former Ming Dynasty, if it weren't for Zhao Han to change history, he would have died in Licheng, Shandong Province against the Qing Dynasty.

"Angel Liu, do you want to return to Beijing immediately?" Captain Zhang Yue asked.

Liu Hanyi slammed the scepter on the deck, and the festival swayed. He stared at the Dutch warship in the distance, gritted his teeth and said, "Murmur, wow has become a Dutch vassal state, what will I do if I return to Beijing?" Kuang Hung sent an envoy to Nanyang, if I can take the city of Malacca, I can take Nabatavia! Do you want to be a marquis at sea? ”

From Zhang Dai to Liu Xiangke, and then from Liu Xiangke to Kuang Hong, they were all promoted as envoys.

In particular, Kwong Hung, who gathered the armies of the Nanyang countries in a modest, captured Malacca in one fell swoop, and was reused and promoted to the governor of Palembang. This incident has stimulated many Honglu Temple officials, Liu Hanyi is now holding back the fire, where is there a gray face to roll back to Nanjing? He didn't want to occupy Baba Wow, but wanted to take Batavia down directly.

Zhang Yue was moved by the "marquis at sea", and he also wanted to make trouble with him, and asked: "Then go to Luzon to bring reinforcements?" ”

Liu Hanyi said: "Go to Tong'an, Fujian first!" ”

Zhang Yue didn't know why, and asked, "What are you going to do in Tong'an?" ”

Liu Hanyi said: "It is impossible for the imperial court to raise troops on a large scale, and we can at most mobilize the troops of Luzon and Palembang. This amount of troops is simply not enough to defeat Batavia, so it can only be won by strategy, and there is an old gentleman in Tong'an who can help with ideas. ”

"Isn't there a sleeping dragon and phoenix chick in Tong'an County?" Zhang Yue said curiously.

Liu Hanyi complained: "You have watched too much "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". ”

……

Fujian, Quanzhou Prefecture, Tong'an County.

Su Minggang lived in a country mansion, and the original owner was executed by the public trial when he was dividing the fields in Fujian because of his cunning and plundering.

"Master, the angel is coming!"

Su Minggang was squinting in the sun, and the housekeeper rushed in and shouted in an excited tone.

Angel?

Su Minggang was overjoyed, could it be because he donated money to study and received the emperor's praise from the heavens? Or was it the report on Batavia that made him favored by the emperor?

He stood up tremblingly and said, "Help me to meet the angel!" ”

Su Minggang is 73 years old, and his body is quite tough. He put on his glasses as he walked, and sure enough, in the living room, he saw the imperial envoy holding a scepter.

The emperor's messenger does not use a scepter in the country.

Then, the angel in front of him must be going to sea to do errands.

Su Minggang had a plan in his heart, and arched his hand: "Old decay, meet the angel!" ”

"Old gentleman, polite," Liu Hanyi held the other party's hands and whispered, "Please step back and forth." ”

Su Minggang immediately understood and ordered, "You all go down." ”

There were only two people left in the house, and Liu Hanyi closed the door in person, and watched the idlers and others go away by the way.

Su Minggang asked, "The angel wants to do something to Bacheng (Batavia)?" ”

Liu Hanyi was surprised: "The old gentleman is like a god!" ”

Su Minggang shook his head and smiled: "The old man has no other skills, he is only familiar with Bacheng." And the angel had a scepter in his hand, as if he were going on an envoy abroad. The combination of the two things is to make a move on Bacheng. ”

"It's really the Dutch, and the Sultan of that mum, wow Sultan, this time he went too far, and he didn't take the Celestial Empire in his eyes at all!" Liu Hanyi began to explain the specific reasons.

Su Minggang listened and asked, "How many troops can the Celestial Empire send?" ”

Liu Hanyi said: "There are 3,000 garrisons in Luzon and 500 garrisons in Palembang. The number of soldiers used for the siege of the city was at most more than 2,000. Of course, the fleets of Manila and Palembang can also provide some naval cadets. It's really not enough, so you can go to Malacca and borrow 200 soldiers. ”

Su Minggang was stunned: "Bacheng is the lair of Dutch ghosts, where is this little bit of strength enough?" ”

"That's why I came to ask the old gentleman, this battle must use strategy, and it needs the help of the Han people in Bacheng." Liu Hanyi smiled like a fox.

Su Minggang studied in private school and also learned martial arts, because his family was in the middle of the road, he went to sea to make a living in his teens.

Thirty-four years ago, the Dutch occupied Batavia. At that time, Su Minggang had already started from scratch, owned his own sea boat, and also owned land on the outskirts of Batavia. He helped the Dutch bring Hermes-Epitek to build a city, and because of his generosity, he stood out among many shipowners and was unanimously supported by Hermes-Epitek.

Therefore, Su Minggang was appointed by the Dutch governor as Jiapitan to manage the civil affairs of the Han people in Batavia, and the Han people also came to him to deal with disputes in the past. Subsequently, he was appointed to the Batavia Parliamentary Council.

Historically, he resigned from his post in Jiapitan in eight years and returned to his hometown to return to his roots. But when he arrived in Taiwan, he heard that Fujian was strictly investigating people who went to sea, so he was so frightened that he stayed in Taiwan for three years, and reluctantly returned to Batavia to die of his old age.

What do you say about this thing?

The pit compatriots must have been pitted, but it is true, and they have won a lot of benefits for the Batavian Han people. At the same time, he also has a very good relationship with the Dutch. He was even proud of this, and hung a lantern at the door of the house in Bacheng, with the words "Founding Father" written on the lantern, believing that he assisted the Dutch in establishing the foundation.

At this time and space, Su Minggang returned to China smoothly, and spent money to buy a mansion left by the inferior gentry, and he was given a few acres of land without paying any money.

One of his sons was brought back to China, starting as a clerk, and now he is a seven-rank official. The other children and grandchildren continue to operate industries in Batavia, mainly trading and starting plantations.

He also took the initiative to write a report detailing the situation in Batavia, which was read by Honglu Temple officials.

In the face of Liu Hanyi's request for help, Su Minggang said: "My son is in Bacheng and often writes back. Over the years, Ba Cheng has been different from me when I was doing Kapitan. ”

Liu Hanyi hurriedly asked, "What's the difference?" ”

Su Minggang said: "The Dutch lost Taiwan, and suddenly there was no source of sugar. They also wanted to do the sugar business, so they encouraged the Han people to grow cane sugar, and even captured the natives and sold them to the Han people as serfs at a low price. The Han people cultivated large areas of forest to grow sugar cane, and at first they were happy to take what they needed, but gradually the Dutch showed their true nature. Han people were forbidden to sell sugarcane privately, Han people were forbidden to open sugar mills privately, and the price of sugarcane was also depressed. The Han Chinese, who grow sugarcane, are extremely dissatisfied with this. These Han people are all big landlords! ”

"If you are dissatisfied, you can contact us, old gentleman, please continue." Liu Hanyi said happily.

Su Minggang said: "When I was doing Kapitan, I tried to ease the relationship between the Dutch and the Han people, and I also tried to help the Han people speak. After I left, I changed to Kapitan, and it was completely different. The Datong army fought with the Netherlands repeatedly, and the Netherlands became more and more distrustful of the Han Chinese, so they chose to eat inside and outside the grill to make Jiapitan. Now this Jiabidan is raising thugs and oppressing compatriots, and the Han people have been dissatisfied with it for a long time. ”

"This person must be killed in order to unite the Han people of Bacheng." Liu Hanyi said.

Su Minggang also said: "At the beginning of the establishment of Bacheng, there was an extreme shortage of food. He invited the Han boat owners to bring in more Han people and encourage the Han people to cultivate in the suburbs. The Han people, who were the first to reclaim the land, are now all landlords and no longer work in the fields themselves. Han Chinese landlords also learned from the missionaries, opened plantations in the suburbs, also known as farms, and bought natives to work as serfs. There are more and more plantations, and they are getting farther and farther away from the Batavian city. In recent years, it has often been looted by bandits in Banten, and the plantations have been burned down one by one. The Han landlords begged the Dutch to send troops, but the bandits of Banten robbed and burned them and ran away, and they could not catch them every time they sent troops. In the long run, the Dutch were too lazy to send troops and allowed the bandits of Banten to plunder the Han farms. ”

Liu Hanyi pondered: "Sir is saying that the Han landlords in Banten have separated from the Dutch because the price of sugarcane has been lowered and because it has been plundered. ”

"That's it." Su Minggang nodded.

Liu Hanyi asked again: "What else?" ”

Su Minggang said: "Last time the Celestial Empire signed a contract with the Netherlands, the Netherlands was not allowed to tax the Han people in Bacheng. The Netherlands did keep its promise, but contracted the poll tax to Kapitan. Kapitan is a Han Chinese, and no matter how high the tax is, it does not violate the contract between the two countries. The Han Chinese people in Bacheng were even more angry because of this, believing that the Dutch had rebelled. As long as the Celestial Empire's army is dispatched, ordinary Han people will also help in the war. And the Han landlords outside the city, as long as they were given enough promises of preferential treatment, they would definitely be willing to sell grain to the Datong army. If the Datong army is besieged by 3,000 people, there is no need to worry about military rations for two years, and it can be purchased from Han landlords. ”

"Great goodness!" Liu Hanyi said happily.

Su Minggang said again: "A letter from the dog, there was a big incident last year. ”

Liu Hanyi hurriedly said, "Old gentleman, please speak." ”

Su Minggang said: "There are a total of 21 kinds of taxes in Bacheng, 17 of which are contracted to the Han people to collect. Every year on New Year's Day, at the government of Kapitan, these contract taxes are tendered. Last year has changed! ”

"Changed?" Liu Hanyi asked.

Su Minggang said: "The tax tender will be moved from the mansion in Kapitan to the castle in Batavia. There was a clerk of the Dutch East India Company, who married a Javanese aristocratic widow, and colluded with other parliamentarians to behave indiscriminately in the bidding. Of the 17 Han taxes, one was taken away by the Javanese aristocracy. For the other two taxes, although the Han Chinese won the bid, the winning bidder was a relative of Kapitan, who served as a dog in the Netherlands. The wealthy Han merchants in Bacheng were therefore also dissatisfied with the Dutch. ”

"Wonderful!" Liu Hanyi said with a smile.

Su Minggang said: "The old man can write a letter and give it to the dog when the angel sends troops to Bacheng, and the dog will contact the rich Han merchants and landlords in Bacheng." We are not capable of helping the Datong army to attack the city, but as long as the Datong army is willing to pay, we will guarantee to provide 3,000 soldiers with military rations for two years. We can also recruit thousands of people to serve as people's husbands for the Datong army, helping to cut down trees, dig ditches, fill trenches, and so on. ”

Liu Hanyi got up and arched his hand: "Thank you for the righteousness of the old gentleman, after the matter is completed, I will definitely ask for credit for the old gentleman." ”

"No, the old man can spend his old age in his hometown." Su Minggang was actually dissatisfied with the Netherlands. After he left Batavia, he was gone, and the new Kapitan was in Batavia to get his hands on the inheritance he had left for his son.

Following.

Liu Hanyi carried Su Minggang's handwritten letter, held the scepter, and re-boarded the ship, and he had to persuade the Governor of Luzon and Palembang to send troops.
