Chapter 29: The glorious Qing Dynasty
Just when Zhu Daohua was busy engaging in diplomacy in Southeast Asia and East Asia.
Liu Guangliang and Vicente have arrived in Guangzhou.
Guangzhou Mansion is quite prosperous.
Ships come and go.
If you don't look at the thin bodies and the looks on the faces of the people walking on the road.
And the words of homeless beggars that can be seen everywhere around Guangzhou Prefecture.
The Qing Dynasty was truly a prosperous period.
The Qing Dynasty had long implemented a system of one-stop trade.
Only one trade port in Guangzhou is open.
And all trade is in the hands of the Thirteenth Line.
This time Liu Guangliang and Vicente came to meet Wu Dunyuan, the head of the Thirteenth Bank Yihe Bank and the general merchant of the Thirteenth Bank.
As a result, the two people's posts requesting to meet were sent up.
It's been several days.
No news at all.
Liu Guangliang spent several days in a row to meet with several people who had dealings with Yihe Bank, but he failed to get Wu Dunyuan's summons.
But this is normal.
Although Wu Dunyuan is a businessman.
But he also supports businessmen.
As the general merchant of the Thirteenth Bank, Wu Dunyuan was wearing a fourth-grade crown.
And Vicente is just a bannerman who has been expelled from the country.
Needless to say, Liu Guangliang.
In Lanfang, he was the son of Jia Tai of the Liu family.
Even if it weren't for Zhu Daohua's appearance.
There is a high probability that he, Liu Guangliang, can serve as the ruler of Lanfang Kingdom for several terms.
But that's only in Nanyang.
In the Qing Dynasty.
In Guangzhou Prefecture.
Liu Guangliang's apparent identity is just that of a commoner.
And Wu Dunyuan is an official.
In the Qing Dynasty.
It is not easy for ordinary people to meet officials.
Liu Guangliang spent the money, but there was no response.
Just when he was about to go home.
A servant from Wu Dunyuan's mansion came.
"Liu Guangliang, Vicente, sir, I want to see you!!"
The boy came in a hurry.
Liu Guangliang hurriedly stuffed a silver coin into the boy's hand.
"Master, what's going on this time?"
There was no news at first, but they were suddenly summoned, and both of them felt a little unsure.
"How did I know? You just need to follow me!"
The boy accepted the money, but he wasn't very polite.
Liu Guangliang and Vicente looked at each other and hurriedly followed the boy.
.......
At this moment.
Wu Dunyuan was anxiously wandering back and forth in the hall of the mansion.
In the thirteenth row, there are ships going to sea for trade.
The main trading partners were the Dutch and the British.
With the news coming these days, the Dutch were defeated by Zhu Daohua.
At first, Wu Dunyuan thought it was a rumor.
Who is Zhu Daohua?
Who in Guangzhou Prefecture doesn’t know about the “case of the pseudo-Prince Yiwen” five years ago?
Although Zhu Daohua fled at that time.
But no one took it seriously
The Qing Dynasty is now in its glory days.
Let alone a descendant of Prince Yihe.
So what if they are descendants of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty?
Although those people from the Tiandihui shouted against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty every day.
But if those gangsters with families and property were really allowed to rebel, one or two of them would not go.
Five years ago, it was just a group of homeless refugees who held up that Zhu Daohua.
This has been true of every rebellion in history.
Only those who have nothing have the determination to rebel...
So in this prosperous era of the Qing Dynasty, let alone a suspected empress Zhu Biao.
So what if Zhu Yuanzhang is reincarnated?
However, the news from the sea made Wu Dunyuan very frightened.
Occupy Batam, expel the Dutch, and completely destroy the Dutch East India Company's fleet.
Is this what a bereaved dog who fled from Guangzhou in panic could do?
and.
If Zhu Daohua had such strength...
His next goal.
It is most likely Guangzhou Prefecture.
As for Wu Dunyuan, he is more concerned about another thing...
That is the current trade rules on the Nanyang Sea, and Ming Yuan must be used.
They also have to pay taxes to Zhu Daohua.
If you don't obey this rule.
Those thirteen lines would not be able to go to sea.
If you follow...
Well, this is not a decision that Wu Dunyuan, a general manager of the Thirteenth Bank of China, can make.
However, Wu Dunyuan also had some headaches about the true and false news that came intermittently in Nanyang.
How are the Dutch doing now?
Do they still have the ability to purchase raw silk on a large scale?
There is news that the Dutch Governor's Palace of Batavia was destroyed by Zhu Daohua.
There is also news that the Dutch only fleet was destroyed.
Anyway.
Even in the Qing Dynasty, the Thirteen Banks General Merchant, who had a better understanding of the outside world, looked at the world with squinted eyes.
For things that come from the ocean.
Also half-informed.
The entire Qing Dynasty had no systematic intelligence sources on Nanyang.
"Sir, Liu Guangliang, a native of Nanyang, and Vicente, a Bannerman who has been removed from the national flag, have been brought here."
"Quick. Let them in."
soon.
Liu Guangliang and Vicente walked in with their heads lowered.
The two quickly knelt down.
"The common people pay homage to your lord!"
"Do you have information about Ni Ming? Do you know how far Ni Ming is in Nanyang?"
Liu Guangliang said hurriedly: "Sir, the Puppet Ming King Zhu Daohua first occupied Batam Island, and now he destroyed the Dutch fleet. Now he wants to take Lanfang into his possession."
"What?"
Wu Dunyuan was shocked.
He also knew Lan Fangguo.
Located in West Borneo.
The population is not very large.
But if it belongs to Zhu Daohua.
The population under the command of the Puppet Ming King may exceed 100,000.
That can be considered a big force.
"The Dutch fleet was really completely wiped out?"
"It's true, I just tell you what I saw..." Liu Guangliang said honestly.
Wu Dunyuan took a few steps back and forth after hearing this.
"Follow me!"
Wu Dunyuan raised his head and said.
Then he wrote quickly and wrote a letter.
"Come here, send the letter to the residence of Mr. Guo, the governor of Guangdong immediately!!"
"Prepare the sedan!!"
Liu Guangliang and Vicente looked at each other.
It's time to go see the governor of Guangdong.
...
The fast horse delivered the letter and entered the official residence of the governor of Guangdong.
Upon seeing this, Guo Shixun, the governor of Guangdong, immediately sent another letter to the Governor's Office of Guangdong and Guangxi in Zhaoqing.
According to the official rules of the Qing Dynasty.
The governor and the governor do not reside in the same place.
Take Guangdong as an example.
The governor of Guangdong is stationed in Guangzhou.
The Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi is stationed in Zhaoqing.
If the governor wants to meet.
You have to meet at Sanshui between Guangzhou and Zhaoqing.
To reflect the principle that local "supervisors" are not subordinate to each other.
At the same time, Guo Shixun immediately ordered people to prepare horses.
Hurry to Sanshui.
At the same time, people were also asked to take Wu Dunyuan and others to Sanshui to meet the governor.
Liu Guangliang and Vicente met Fu Kang'an, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Guo Shixun, the governor of Guangdong, at the government office in Sanshui.
Wu Dunyuan's fourth-grade crown had no value in front of two local officials.
Guo Shixun was the bannerman of the Zhenghong Banner of the Han Army.
Fukang'an was the deputy capital of Manchuria with a yellow flag.
With this kind of status, in the Qing Dynasty, a high-ranking person could call himself a slave.
It is not comparable to Han people like Wu Dunyuan and Liu Guangliang.
Liu Guangliang and Vicente didn't expect it either.
This time I was able to see such a big shot, and I didn't dare to leave after coming in.
When Wu Dunyuan knelt down to worship.
He also hurriedly followed the ceremony and knelt down to worship.
The head is on the ground.
The butt is stuck out.
