"Throw away that one! Luo Goudi wants to give Lan Fang to the person named Zhu!!"
After returning to Sanfa Liujiabao.
Liu Qianxing, who had never dared to have an attack before, became increasingly angry the more he thought about it.
Lanfang Republic 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 Lanfang to the country and changed his status to a descendant of the Zhu family.
The Ye and Chen families have a close relationship with the Luo family and can also benefit from it.
Where is his Liu family?
The Liu family received no benefits.
The Luo family even climbed above the Liu family.
Who can bear this?
"Dad, the Luo family sold Lan Fang and sold us too! What a bitch!"
Liu Guangliang was also very angry.
Liu Qianxing took a few steps back and forth.
"He won't be proud for long. The foundation of his surname Zhu is not stable, and he will come to Dongfang Lv in person in two or three months..."
"Dad, what do you mean?"
Liu Qianxing's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"The Zhu family's navy is powerful, but land warfare is not necessarily possible! Our Liu family has 8,000 thugs, and if we spend money to attract people from various mining areas, we can still recruit tens of thousands of people! There are also native countries like Borneo, Are they happy to see Lanfang become a monarchy?"
"Several countries send troops together, and it's easy to gather an army of 70,000 to 80,000 people!!"
"How many people have his surname Zhu? It's just one Army First Brigade, more than 3,000 people!"
"Even if he expands his army in two months, it won't be more than 10,000!"
"Seventy thousand versus ten thousand, there's a good chance of winning!"
Liu Qianxing counted on his fingers.
"Dad! Then what are we waiting for?"
Liu Guangliang was overjoyed.
70,000 to 80,000 vs. 10,000, most of them are new recruits who have only been trained for a month or two.
Just thinking about it makes me crazy.
"No!! This is not enough..."
Liu Qianxing is an old fox.
"The Nanyang Chinese want to come to the Qing Dynasty, so... we still need the support of the Qing Dynasty!"
"The support of the Qing Dynasty?"
"Immediately take Vicente to Guangzhou and ask to see Wu Dunyuan, the leader of Yihe Bank. With Ni Ming's information and the presence of Vicente, a Manchu, Wu Dunyuan will most likely take you to meet the real big shot. ..."
"If we can get the support of the Qing Dynasty, even in name only... we can justifiably... serve the Qing Dynasty and seek clarity!"
.............
Under the calm waters of the Southern Ocean, there are turbulent storms.
As for Zhu Daohua, who is at the center of the storm.
Now I feel quite unmoved.
After seeing off the Dutch Governor and the British and French Ministers.
Zhu Daohua's main energy shifted to domestic affairs.
The most important of them is the newly put into operation gunpowder factory.
Before that, Zhu Daohua had pointed out the technology tree of mercury fulminate.
But mercury fulminate is an unstable explosive.
Sensitive to vibration and temperature.
In later generations, it was basically used as a fire cap and bomb detonator.
And now after getting a stable territory.
Of course, Zhu Daohua began to pursue a cheaper and more stable explosive.
Zhu Daohua had heard of nitrocellulose explosives.
But he didn't know the specific production method.
Relatively speaking.
Zhu Daohua had probably heard of another method of making explosives called "yellow gunpowder."
Yellow gunpowder is a yellow powder formed by adsorbing nitroglycerin with diatomaceous earth.
Shape stable.
And it is safer than mercury fulminate explosives.
It is not difficult to make or obtain materials.
Therefore, under the experiment of a group of skilled workers.
This gunpowder was quickly produced.
After watching the power of gunpowder explosions.
Zhu Daohua is very satisfied with the performance of yellow gunpowder.
"Put into mass production as soon as possible and reserve enough explosives before the beginning of next spring!"
Zhu Daohua ordered.
Standing next to Zhu Daohua is a short, chubby Chinese young man named Huang Tufeng. He is one of the three hundred Chinese youths who came to Europe with Zhu Daohua.
He is one of the few Chinese engineers studying technology in Europe.
On the contrary, I am quite interested in Western "alchemy".
Now he is considered to be one of the few chemistry professionals under Zhu Daohua.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, nitroglycerin and diatomaceous earth are easy to obtain. As long as the production line is set up, a large amount of yellow gunpowder can be easily obtained."
Zhu Daohua patted Huang Tufeng on the shoulder and was about to say a few words of encouragement.
There are people coming to report.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Kant is back."
...........
"Mr. Kant, how are you? Have you gained anything during this time?"
A smile appeared on the face of the tired Kant: "Not bad, I visited several countries on both sides of the Strait of Malacca, but... except for the Xishan Dynasty in Annan, Siam and other countries, this one is closer to the Chinese Empire. There is more faith*** in this place.”
Zhu Daohua shook his head and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. The spread of Chinese culture is difficult to compare with monotheistic religions."
"Oh? Chris, can you talk 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 mused.
"In this case, I am even more interested in China. Chris, I want to go north as soon as possible. It is said that French missionaries can allow me to meet the emperor of the Qing Empire."
"I want to go to the Qing Dynasty to investigate."
Zhu Daohua didn't stop him either.
The purpose of this philosopher from the West coming to the East was to conduct social investigation.
"correct...."
Kant took out a book from his bag.
"Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"
Zhu Daohua took it and took a look.
This is a manuscript written in French.
The title of the book is: Chronicles of the Nations of Europe
Zhu Daohua felt like he had found a treasure.
This is the book he asked Kant to write a few months ago.
It can be said.
Now for the Chinese.
The biggest disadvantage facing Europe is its lack of understanding of Europe.
This book is translated into Chinese.
It will definitely become a must-read for rulers of countries in the Eastern world.
"Mr. Kant, when this book is translated and published, you will become a celebrity in the entire Eastern world!"
Zhu Daohua smiled.
"By the way, I also wrote an article recently..."
Zhu Daohua ordered someone to get the manuscript.
"The name of the article is called [On Strengthening the Army and Founding a Country]. It is not very long. I have translated it in French. Please help me see if there are any omissions."
Kant took the manuscript.
I opened it and looked at it.
"The Western countries are all tigers and wolves. They occupied North and South America in just a hundred years, and the local indigenous people were slaughtered. The South Asian country of Tianzhu was also in danger. The Southeast Asian countries had long been ruled by the Western Netherlands and Spain, and Japan and other countries were also controlled by the Western countries. National intrusion..."
At this time, East Asia, except for the Qing Empire.
In fact, Korea, Japan, Ryukyu, Annan, Siam, Myanmar and other countries were all invaded by Western colonial forces.
Among them, Japan and other countries simply closed their doors.
Learn from the Qing Dynasty and shut down the country.
The countries in Nanyang are limited by their own strength.
When facing Western colonists, they were basically at a disadvantage.
Western colonists did more than just raid militarily.
Culturally….
A large number of missionaries also poured into the East, for the rulers of Eastern countries.
This is what worries them the most.
And in this article.
Zhu Daohua conducted some analysis and gave a solution.
In addition, Zhu Daohua just defeated the Dutch.
So his plan is still very valuable.
After reading it, Kant couldn't help but said: "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 China, but the whole of East Asia..."
Zhu Daohua smiled.
"This is the power of culture, Mr. Kant."
"Chinese culture in East Asia is equivalent to the Roman Empire in the West. It has great appeal and appeal. Japan and other countries may not like to close themselves off...so my suggestions are in their interests..."
"It is also in the interests of Ming Dynasty."
