Chapter 48: Can Guangdong defend?
"You raised troops to oppose me, and now you call yourself a foreign vassal."
Zhu Daohua said with a sneer.
"I am not your sect leader, and you are not my vassal."
Zhu Daohua looked at the envoy from Brunei.
This is a prince of Brunei, named Galgu, who is the younger brother of the Lord of Brunei.
What Zhu Daohua still knew was.
Under the seabed of Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei, there is a huge oil field.
The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade.
Besides, Brunei is not innocent.
The sin is too great.
Therefore, this country will definitely be destroyed.
But that's all in the future.
I don’t have the energy to spend time in Borneo right now.
The Lanfang incident is over,
Southeast wind blows.
You have to take advantage of the wind and head north, first take Guangdong, and then plan the Northern Expedition!
Therefore, Guo Zuo of the three kingdoms stayed temporarily.
Death penalty is avoidable.
There is no escape from living sin.
According to the rules of this era.
Unequal treaties must be arranged.
Before Zhu Daohua could speak.
Largu knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, King Ming, our country is willing to compensate your Majesty one hundred thousand taels of silver and ask your Majesty to forgive our sins. In the future, our country will regard the Ming Dynasty as its sect. It is willing to be canonized by the Ming Dynasty and become a minister to the north..."
"Do you think I'm short of money?"
Zhu Daohua asked.
Lagu was stunned.
yes....
Zhu Daohua controlled Nanyang trade.
The tax revenue from trade in Batam alone is a wealth that even Brunei cannot match.
The man opposite is really a man who is not short of money.
"Your Majesty, our Lord is willing to compensate... two hundred thousand taels of silver!"
Largu gritted his teeth and said.
Zhu Daohua waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "How much compensation is to be paid is another matter. I have several conditions. If you agree, the matter will be settled for the time being. If you don't agree... I don't mind turning the entire Borneo into a orchid." The territory of Fangxing Province!!”
Said.
Zhu Daohua stretched out a finger.
"First, cede territory. I want to occupy a port in Bandar Seri Begawan as a place for Ming Dynasty trade and garrison!"
"Certain land?"
Lar was stunned for a moment.
My head is pounding.
This man is really rude.
But he hasn't digested it yet.
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, extra-legal jurisdiction, and the right to explore for minerals in Borneo!"
oh.
It turns out that this is a way to open up trade.
Only trade from the Borneo countries was opened to Ming merchants....
"Finally, as for compensation, let's bear the total compensation of 300,000 taels of silver according to the proportion of your troops sent."
Cut land.
One-sided most favored trade.
indemnity.
The Unequal Treaties trilogy is complete.
The three countries of Borneo did not dare to refuse.
He just said he wanted to go back to his country to ask for instructions.
"I will give you one month to wait. If we don't sign the treaty, there will be no need for you and the other three countries to exist."
Zhu Daohua waved his hand and asked the three of them to retreat.
Now there are no conditions for negotiations between the three Borneo countries.
If it weren't for the fact that there weren't many Chinese in the Three Kingdoms.
Even if Zhu Daohua takes over, it will take a lot of energy to achieve direct rule.
There is actually no need for the Three Kingdoms to exist anymore.
But even if the three countries signed an unequal treaty.
It will inevitably be cannibalized in the future.
It's just that we have to wait until Boss Zhu's Japanese samurai army is in place before starting the Borneo native population reduction plan...
After determining the general policy of establishing Lanfang Province.
Zhu Daohua stayed in Pontianak.
Luo Fangbo was appointed governor of Lanfang Province.
Another imperial examination was held.
A group of children of local wealthy families were admitted as officials.
The framework of the three-level administrative agencies of province, prefecture and county has been set up.
Carry out land survey, property rights registration, population survey and other work.
at the same time.
The Ming army's first land grant also began.
According to the Ming Army’s [Military Field Regulations].
If there are those who are willing to give up the land of Han, they will be given land.
You can get double compensation for land grants in the Ming Dynasty's territory outside the Han Dynasty.
under such conditions.
However, many Ming soldiers chose to cash in on their military exploits in Lanfang.
soon.
The land confiscated from the Lanfang Liu family and other wealthy families.
It was assigned to the soldiers of Zhu Ming Dynasty.
Military farms, large and small, were formed all over Lanfang.
These will be the basis for Zhu Daohua's rule in Lanfang in the future.
in addition.
Zhu Daohua also held a wedding in Pontianak.
Officially married Luo Fangmei, daughter of the Luo family of the Lanfang wealthy family.
And was named queen.
This way.
The Lanfang incident is officially over.
It was already the end of the fifty-fourth year of Qianlong's reign and the beginning of January 1790 in the Western calendar.
After taking care of Lanfang's incident.
Zhu Daohua stationed an army brigade in Pontianak, and ordered the Nanyang Fleet to station a fleet in Pontianak. At the same time, Zhu Daohua recruited among the Lanfang tribes for more than 800 years to enter the Army and Navy Officers Academy, Daohua University, Daohua Admission to public schools.
In addition, another 5,000 young men from various ethnic groups have been recruited into the army, and an army brigade has been expanded. The training of new recruits will be completed in Batam.
So far.
Lan Fong Province in West Borneo was established.
Zhu Daohua now can be regarded as owning a province.
However, West Borneo has a sparse Chinese population.
The total population is only about 7 to 8 million.
Although the territory is large, it is still somewhat sparsely populated and has a large amount of undeveloped land.
Little potential for war.
Therefore, Zhu Daohua's first goal is Guangdong.
After capturing Guangdong and gaining a foothold in the mainland, it is possible to carry out the next step.
........
Just when the Ming army was intensifying its troops in Batam.
The governor's office in Sanshui, Guangdong.
Lin Guoliang and Liu Guangliang knelt in front of Fu Kang'an, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Guo Shixun, the governor of Guangdong.
"An army of 80,000 was destroyed in one battle?!"
Everyone could hear the horror in Guo Shixun's tone.
It stands to reason that what a local official like this pays attention to is the art of nourishing Qi, which means that he should be indifferent to emotions and anger.
But the news brought by Lin Guoliang was really shocking.
A mere three thousand troops.
Take the initiative to attack.
The 80,000-strong army was defeated in two days.
That's 80,000 pigs.
I can’t catch it all in two days.
"Sir, it's not that I'm incompetent, it's that the rebel army against the Ming Dynasty is too strong."
Lin Guoliang knelt on the ground and took out a mortar shell picked up on the battlefield from his arms.
"There is a small cannon in the Ming Dynasty that can eject explosive shells. The cannon is very light and can be carried around by two people. The shells fired are also very powerful. Once the cannon is fired, a large area will be destroyed..."
Lin Guoliang handed over the shell with the charge removed.
He took out the yellow gunpowder poured from the cannonball from his arms.
"What kind of gunpowder is this? Why is it yellow?"
Fukangan and Guo Shixun looked at each other.
"Sir, the Ming army is powerful and must be guarded against."
"The rebels are so powerful that it is unbelievable. Their soldiers are equipped with sophisticated weapons and are especially good at firing artillery shells. They also threatened that when the southeast wind blows, Yang Fan will go north to plot Guangdong..."
As soon as this statement came out.
Fukangan and Guo Shixun were both frightened.
Eighty thousand troops.
It collapsed in two days.
How elite is this Ming army?
When the southeast wind blows, it will come to Guangdong.
This Guangdong...
Can you hold it?
