"Don't throw that one! Luo Dog Cock wants to give Lan Fang to the surname Zhu!! ”

After returning to the three-shot Liujiabao.

Liu Qianxing, who had never dared to attack before, became more and more angry the more he thought about it.

The Republic of Lanfang became a Grand Duchy.

The Grand Duke is Luo Fangbo's sister Luo Fangmei, what is the difference between this and the Grand Duke is Zhu Daohua?

He Luo Fangbo sent out Lanfang and changed the status of a descendant of the Zhu family.

The Ye and Chen families have a close relationship with the Luo family, and they can also get benefits.

What about his Liu family?

The Liu family didn't get any benefits.

The Luo family also climbed to the head of the Liu family because of this.

Who can bear this?

"Dad, the Luo family sold Lan Fang, and sold us too! This shit! ”

Liu Guangliang was also very angry.

Liu Qianxing walked back and forth a few steps.

"He won't be proud for long, the foundation of the surname Zhu is unstable, and in two or three months, he will come to Dongfang Law in person..."

"Dad, what do you mean?"

Liu Qianxing's eyes flashed with murder.

"The Zhu family's navy is powerful, but land warfare may not be! Our Liu family has 8,000 thugs, and then we can pull 10,000 people from various mining areas! And Borneo, the native countries, are they happy to see Lan Fong become a monarchy? ”

"Several countries send troops together, and it is easy to gather an army of 70,000 or 80,000!!"

"How many people are there with his surname Zhu? There is only one army brigade, more than 3,000 people! ”

"Even if he expands his army in two months, it won't expand by 10,000!"

"Seventy or eighty thousand to ten thousand, this has a good chance of winning!"

Liu Qianxing counted with his fingers.

"Daddy! So what are we waiting for? ”

Liu Guangliang was overjoyed.

Seventy or eighty thousand fought against ten thousand, and most of the recruits on the other side had only trained for a month or two.

It's a win just to think about it.

"No!! It's not enough...."

Liu Qianxing is an old fox.

"The Chinese in Nanyang want to come to the Qing Dynasty, so... We also need the support of the Qing Dynasty! ”

"The support of the Great Qing?"

"You immediately take Vicente to Guangzhou now, and ask to see Wu Dunyuan, the master of Jardine Bank, there is a good chance that Lord Wu will take you to meet the real big man..."

"If you can get the support of the Qing Dynasty, even if it is in name.... Let's make sense... Fengqing is clear! ”

...............

Beneath the calm waters of the South Seas, the wind is surging.

And for Zhu Daohua, who was at the center of the storm.

Now it's kind of a bit of a self-indulgence.

After sending off the Dutch governor and the British and French ministers.

Zhu Daohua's main focus shifted to internal affairs.

The most important of these was the newly commissioned gunpowder plant.

Before this, Zhu Daohua had already pointed out the technology tree of mercury thunderate.

However, mercury lamine is an explosive with unstable properties.

Sensitive to vibration and temperature.

In later generations, it was basically used as a fire cap and bomb initiator.

And now, after getting a stable piece of land.

Zhu Daohua, of course, began to pursue a cheaper explosive with more stable characteristics.

Zhu Daohua had heard of nitrocellulose explosives.

But he didn't know exactly how it was made.

Relatively speaking.

Another method of making explosives called "yellow gunpowder" Zhu Daohua has probably heard of it.

Yellow gunpowder is a yellow powder formed by adsorbing nitroglycerin tiger with diatomaceous earth.

Stable shape.

It is also safer than mercury rhinoate explosives.

It is not difficult to manufacture and obtain materials.

So under the experiment of a group of skilled workers.

Soon this gunpowder was made.

After watching the power of the gunpowder explosion.

Zhu Daohua was very satisfied with the performance of yellow gunpowder.

"Put it into mass production as soon as possible, and reserve enough explosives before the beginning of spring next year!"

Zhu Daohua commanded.

Standing next to Zhu Daohua was a young Chinese man named Huang Tufeng, who went to Europe with Zhu Daohua as one of the 300 Chinese youths who went to Europe with Zhu Daohua.

He is one of the few Chinese engineers who studied technology in Europe.

Rather, he is quite interested in Western "alchemy".

Now he is one of the few chemical professionals under Zhu Daohua.

"Dawang rest assured, this nitroglycerin and diatomaceous earth are easy to obtain, as long as the production line is built, it is easy to get a large amount of yellow gunpowder."

Zhu Daohua patted Huang Tufeng's shoulder and was about to say a few words of encouragement.

There are left and right to report.

"My lord, Mr. Kant is back."

..........

"Mr. Kant, how's it going? Do you have anything else to gain during this time? ”

A smile appeared on the face of the dusty Kant: "It's not bad, a few countries on both sides of the Strait of Malacca have come full circle, but... In addition to the Xishan Dynasty and Siam in Annam, this place closer to the Chinese Empire has more beliefs. ”

Zhu Daohua shook his head and said: "This is also something that cannot be helped, the spreadability of Chinese culture is difficult to compare with monotheism." ”

"Oh? Chris, can you talk a little bit about your religious beliefs? Will you choose to convert to God or Allah? ”

Zhu Daohua smiled bitterly: "How is this possible, Mr. Kant, my identity can only allow me to become a believer in Confucianism, Taoism, and Mahayana Buddhism." ”

"Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism...."

Kant was thoughtful.

"In this way, I am even more interested in China, Chris, I want to go north as soon as possible, it is said that the French missionaries will allow me to meet the emperor of the Qing Empire."

"I want to go to Qingguo for an inspection."

Zhu Daohua did not stop it.

The philosopher from the West came to the East for the purpose of conducting social investigations.

"That's right...."

Kant took a book out of his bag.

"Fortunately, I didn't lose my life!"

Zhu Daohua took a look.

This is a manuscript written in French.

The title of the book is called: Chronicles of the Kingdoms of Europa

Zhu Daohua is like a treasure.

This is a book he asked Kant to write a few months ago.

Arguably.

Now for the Chinese.

The biggest disadvantage in the face of Europe is that it does not understand Europe.

The book is translated into Chinese words.

It will definitely become a must-read for the rulers of the Eastern world.

"Mr. Kant, when this book is translated and published, you will become a celebrity in the entire Oriental world!"

Zhu Daohua said with a smile.

"By the way, I also wrote an article recently..."

Zhu Daohua ordered someone to get the manuscript.

"The name of the article is called [Theory of Strengthening the Army and Founding the Country], it is not very long, I have translated it in French, and I ask you to help me see if there is anything missing."

Kant took the manuscript.

I flipped it open and looked at it.

"The Western countries are all tigers and wolves, which have occupied North and South America in just one hundred years, the local aborigines have been slaughtered, and the Tianzhu country in South Asia has also been in danger, and the South Asian countries have long been ruled by the Western Netherlands and Spain, and Japan and other countries have also been invaded by the Western countries..."

East Asia at this time, with the exception of the Qing Empire.

In fact, Korea, Japan, the Ryukyus, as well as Annam, Siam, Burma and other countries were all invaded by Western colonial powers.

Among them, Japan and other countries simply closed their doors.

Learn from the Qing Dynasty to close the country.

And the countries on the South Seas are constrained by their own strength.

It was basically at a disadvantage in the face of Western colonizers.

The Western colonizers did not just harass militarily.

Culturally....

A large number of missionaries also poured into the East, for the rulers of the Eastern countries.

That's what worries them the most.

And in this article.

Zhu Daohua made an analysis and gave a solution.

Plus Zhu Daohua just beat the Dutch.

So his plan is still very valuable.

Kant couldn't help but say, "Chris, I have to say... You are a born politician. ”

"Limited trade, training a new army, embracing the orthodox Chinese empire...."

"What you want is not just one China, but the whole of East Asia..."

Zhu Daohua smiled.

"That's the power of culture, Mr. Kant."

"Chinese culture in East Asia is equivalent to the Roman Empire in the West, and its attraction and appeal are very great, and countries such as Japan may not like to close themselves to the country... So my proposal is in their interest...."

"It's also in the interests of Daming."
