Chapter 48, Can Guangdong Defend It?

"You have raised an army against me, and now you call yourself a foreign vassal."

Zhu Daohua said with a sneer.

"This king is not your suzerain, and you are not a vassal of this king."

Zhu Daohua's eyes looked at Brunei's envoy.

This is a prince of Brunei, named Gargu, who is the younger brother of the lord of Brunei.

And what Zhu Daohua still knows is.

Beneath the seabed of Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei, is a huge oil field.

The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.

Moreover, this Brunei country is not innocent.

The sin is too great.

So this kingdom is definitely going to be destroyed.

But that's all for the future.

I don't have the energy to toss around Borneo in front of me.

Lan Fang's matter is over,

The southeast wind rises.

I have to ride the wind to the north, take Guangdong first, and then plan the Northern Expedition!

Therefore, the national throne of these three countries remained for the time being.

Capital offenses are avoidable.

There is no escaping the sin of life.

According to the rules of this era.

Unequal treaties must be arranged.

didn't wait for Zhu Daohua to speak.

Largu knelt down and said: "Your Majesty King Ming, my country is willing to compensate Your Majesty 100,000 taels of silver, and ask Your Majesty to forgive your country's sins.

"Do you think I'm short of money?"

Zhu Daohua asked.

Raergu was stunned.

Oh, yes....

Zhu Daohua controlled the Nanyang trade.

The tax revenue from Batam's trade alone is a wealth that Brunei can't keep up with.

The lord on the other side is really the master who is not short of money.

"Your Majesty, my lord is willing to make amends.... Two hundred thousand taels of silver! ”

Largu gritted his teeth and said.

Zhu Daohua waved his hand, not caring and said: "How much compensation is another matter, this king has a few conditions, if you agree, the matter will be closed for the time being, if you don't agree.... I wouldn't mind turning the whole of Borneo into the territory of Lan Fong Province!! ”

said.

Zhu Daohua stretched out a finger.

"First, cut the land, I want to occupy a port in Bandar Seri Begawan, as a place for Ming trade and garrison!"

"Mowing the land?"

Largulen paused for a moment.

The head is booming.

This master is really welcome.

But before he could digest it.

Zhu Daohua continued.

"Second, open trade!"

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, what is open trade?"

Ramaj, Banjar's envoy, asked.

"Ming merchants have tax exemptions, extrajudicial jurisdiction, and the right to prospect for minerals in Borneo!"

Oh.

It turned out to be such a way to open up trade.

Only the trade of the countries of Borneo was opened to the merchants of the Ming Dynasty....

"In the end, if there is an indemnity, I will bear a total of 300,000 taels of silver according to the proportion of your troops."

Monetzing.

One-sided most-favoured trade.

Reparations.

The trilogy of unequal treaties is alive and well.

The three countries of Borneo did not dare to refuse.

He only said that he wanted to return to China for instructions.

"This king will give you a month's time, if you don't sign the treaty, there is no need for the three kingdoms to exist."

Zhu Daohua waved his hand and asked the three of them to retreat.

Now the three countries of Borneo are not in a position to negotiate.

If it weren't for the fact that there weren't many Chinese in the territory of the three countries.

Even if Zhu Daohua is occupied, it will take a lot of energy to achieve direct rule.

In fact, there is not much need for the Three Kingdoms to exist.

But even though the three countries signed an unequal treaty.

In the future, it will inevitably be cannibalized.

It's just that this will not start the Borneo native population reduction plan until Boss Zhu's Japanese samurai regiment is in place....

After determining the general policy of Lanfang Province.

Zhu Daohua stayed in Pontianak.

Luo Fangbo was appointed governor of Lan Fang Province.

Another imperial examination was held.

A group of children of local wealthy families were recruited as officials.

The shelves of the administrative organs at the provincial, prefectural, and county levels have been erected.

Carry out land survey, property rights register, population survey, etc.

Meanwhile.

The first field giving of the Ming army also began.

According to the Ming Army's [Military Merit Field Regulations].

If there is anyone who is willing to give up the land of the Han Dynasty.

You can get double the compensation for the land grant on the territory of the Ming King outside the Han land.

Under such conditions.

However, there are many Ming soldiers who choose to cash in their military merits in Lanfang.

Soon.

The land confiscated from the Lanfang Liu family and the Zhuhao clan.

Assigned to the soldiers of Zhuming.

In all parts of Lanfang, large and small military granges have been formed.

These are the basis for Zhu Daohua's rule over Lanfang in the future.

Other than that.

Zhu Daohua also held a big wedding in Pontianak.

Officially married Luo Fangmei, the daughter of the Luo family of the Lanfang family.

and made queen.

And so it goes.

Lan Fang's matter is officially over.

At this time, it was the end of the 54th year of Qianlong, and the beginning of January 1790 in the Western calendar.

After taking care of Lan Fang's affairs.

Zhu Daohua stationed a brigade of the army in Pontianak, and ordered the Nanyang Fleet to station a fleet in Pontianak, and at the same time recruited more than 800 years of people from the Lanfang tribe to enter the Army and Navy Military Academy, Daohua University, and Daohua Public School.

In addition, 5,000 young men of all ethnic groups have been recruited into the army, and an army brigade has been expanded, and the training of recruits will be completed in Batam.

So far.

The province of Lang Fong, West Borneo, was established.

Zhu Daohua now has a province.

However, West Borneo is sparsely populated by Chinese after all.

The total population is only about 7.8 million.

Although the land is large, it is really a bit sparsely populated and has a large amount of undeveloped land.

War potential is not great.

So Zhu Daohua's first target is still Guangdong.

After taking Guangdong and gaining a foothold on the mainland, it is possible to carry out the next step of the scheme.

........

Just when the Ming army was fighting hard in Batam.

The governor of Sanshui, Guangdong.

Lin Guoliang and Liu Guangliang knelt in front of Fukangan, the governor of Liangguang, and Guo Shixun, the governor of Guangdong.

"An army of 80,000 collapsed in a battle?!"

The horror in Guo Shixun's tone could be heard by anyone.

It stands to reason that such a local magistrate pays attention to a kung fu that nourishes qi, and it is necessary to be moody and invisible.

But the news brought by Lin Guoliang was too shocking.

Just over 3,000 troops.

Take the initiative to attack.

In two days, an army of 80,000 was defeated.

That's 80,000 pigs.

I can't finish it in two days.

"My lord, it's not that I am incompetent, but the rebel thief army is too strong."

Lin Guoliang knelt on the ground and took out a mortar shell from his arms that he had picked up on the battlefield.

"There is a small cannon that can throw flower shells, its cannon is very light, two people can carry it around, and the cannonballs fired are also extremely powerful, and a large area will be blown up as soon as the cannon comes down..."

Lin Guoliang handed over the cannonball that had been dismantled.

He took out the yellow powder poured from the cannonball from his bosom.

"What kind of gunpowder is this? How is it yellow? ”

Fukangan and Guo Shixun looked at each other.

"My lord, the Ming army is strong, so you can't guard against it."

"The strength of the rebel thief is unbelievable, his soldiers are sharp, especially good at flowering cannonballs, and threatens to make Yang Fan go north when the southeast wind blows, plotting against Guangdong..."

As soon as this statement came out.

Fukangan and Guo Shixun were both shocked.

Eighty thousand troops.

It collapsed in two days.

How elite is this Ming army?

The southeast wind is about to come to try against Guangdong.

This Guangdong...

Can it be kept?
