Dominate the Country

Chen Ding has been back from Sakhalin Island for a few days. If it weren't for the start of school, he would have rushed to Qiongzhou as another representative of the royal family. Chen Ding still has a good impression of his maternal grandfather and grandmother, whom his mother often talked about. Li Kun's actions have greatly enhanced the positive impact on the Li family in all aspects.

Chen Ding feels friendly innately, and coupled with the self-improvement of the Li family in the acquired, this is an extraordinary feeling.

God knows how much his mother cared about his maternal grandparents and the orphans and widows left by his uncle. However, although Chen Dingren did not go to Qiongzhou, he was not waiting for the news in vain.

The Queen asked Tang Feipeng to open a new vest, and then Chen Ming received a new news that day - Chen Ding also asked someone to open a new vest - Nanyang Labor Service Company, which is engaged in the industry of 'exporting' labor services. The registered capital is 1 million Chinese yuan. As a joint-stock cooperative company, Chen Ding is the largest shareholder, owning 25% of the shares.

What's going on?

Chen Ming asked people to check the identities of the owners of the other 75% of the shares, and found that they were all close friends of Chen Ding. This includes Chen Liang's youngest son, a brother-in-law who is one year younger than Chen Ding.

"My son feels that the population of Siam is too small, and he wants to transport some of the Javanese natives to King Zheng. Just like foreigners catching black slaves, this business cannot make money." As long as Siam does not change its current political system, it will be a Officials and dignitaries could keep and raise slaves, and sending all the natives in Java to Siam would not satisfy the appetites of the nobles and princes. The buyer's market is ongoing and stable!

It's just that Chen Ding was talking about money, but the cold light flashing in his eyes didn't smell of money at all. Of course Chen Ming knew that he was seeking revenge.

"This is a good idea. It can be delivered not only in Siam, but also in mines across the country." As long as the price is cheap.

There are now a large number of slave workers in mines across China. Their treatment is lower than that of the slave workers rescued from the mines when the Chen family conquered the world, and their living conditions are even worse. Because they are all foreigners, regardless of whether they are slaves from Korea, Japan, or Southeast Asia, they can be seen.

But his eldest son is still just a child who has just turned twelve. Did he come up with this method by himself?

"I was inspired after listening to Teacher Newton's words. The team of the Black Bingyang Security Company has been formed. Teacher Newton said that simple killing is too wasteful. Although the indigenous people are lazy, they can still survive under whips and hunger. Generate profits. I was wondering if I could join forces with Hei Bingyang to do a business, buy the natives from them, and then buy Siam where there is a lack of labor.

This will enable Heibingyang's members to reap higher benefits and stimulate their enthusiasm even more. "

It is obvious that Chen Ding's purpose is revenge from beginning to end. The purpose of his company's existence is to 'stimulate' the Black Bingyang security team and increase their enthusiasm, which will harm Yogyakarta's interests and stability even more.

"Then how did you convince your friends?"

The starting point of Chen Ding's "business" is not to make money. How did he get the other 750,000?

"Hey, the first person my son is looking for is Uncle Xiaokang." Uncle Xiaokang, Chen Kang, is Chen Liang's youngest son.

"Uncle Xiaokang took out 200,000 yuan the next day, and also converted it into 100,000 yuan and invested it in the company." The nominal registered capital of the entire company is one million Chinese yuan, but the actual financing is as high as 190 yuan. Thousands of dollars. Among them, except Chen Ding's 250,000 yuan, which was really used as 250,000 yuan, the others were discounted.

Cutting in the middle is the most common thing.

"My twelfth uncle offended my mother because of my uncle's affairs. How dare he not be active? His initiative brought about this matter."

"Smart." Chen Ming laughed happily.

He didn't care if his son would get a 'notorious reputation'. The so-called labor service company is a slave trader. If he becomes famous in the future, it will definitely not add any luster to Chen Ding. But this is Chen Ding’s ‘intention’, isn’t it? The stronger the counterattack means the more sincere feelings in his heart. Chen Ming is satisfied with this. Moreover, his move also effectively eased the gap between the queen and Chen Liang. By the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival, no matter whether there is a satisfactory answer or not, things will be as harmonious as before, and there will be a step down.

Chen Ming was very satisfied with Chen Ding's 'heart'; Chen Ming was also very satisfied with the role Chen Ding performed. He did not believe that Chen Dinghui was not aware of the latter at all. Children in the palace must not underestimate him.

Chen Ding took a piece of Tianhuang stone that he had received from his father and strolled back to his residence with a happy expression. Newton is ready to teach, and there are less than fifteen minutes left.

There are sanctimonious teachers, smart students, and bright sunlight shines through the glass windows onto the table with textbooks spread out. Seeing this refreshing scene, no one would have thought that a company filled with evil from the first moment of its birth would have this pair of masters and apprentices.

First, the Black Bingyang Security Company, which acted as fast as thunder, and then the Nanyang Labor Service Company, which was not visible but gathered a large number of powerful people. The natives in Yogyakarta and even the entire Java, thousands of miles away, could never imagine the future. What kind of tragedy will he face.

The Kingdom of Siam is not a world in heaven, it is the Kingdom of Buddhism. Don’t ask for too much pork rice there. Of course, as a slave, it is unlikely that you will come into contact with pork, but what about in ordinary life? Pigs need to be taken care of. No one can say how long the Javanese natives' belief in heaven can be maintained after they come to Siam.

Hamungu Buwono II did not know these things at all. He was now hurriedly fleeing with his concubines and treasures. Next to him are Luo Fangbai, the leader of the Chinese representative, and Dutch Gerrit.

"Your Majesty the Sultan, there is no need for you to be so nervous. As long as you agree to sign your name on the agreement now, the army that is rushing towards the palace can immediately return to Bantur."

The army in Yogyakarta is rubbish.

Not to mention that one battalion of the Marines who were killed were using new flash cap guns. This was to test the true performance of the new muskets in actual combat. Facts have proved that the flash cap gun can really prevent rain to a certain extent.

And more than half of the marines are wearing breastplates. Even if they don't use guns, grenades, and rockets, and only use the bayonets on their muskets, they can still kill Yogyakarta's trash army.

Starting from the mouth of the Progo River, this offensive force never stopped. Following the Progo River, we entered Vatas, then Bantur, the most important city in Yogyakarta, then Sleiman, and then the location of the Yogyakarta Royal Palace. Hamungu Buwono II must run!

Of course, before running away, or before the Marine Corps captured Bantur, Yogyakarta's army first 'invited' Luo Fangbai and his entourage to the Yogyakarta palace.

"Shut up. You damn liar! I'm going to burn you to ashes and send you to hell, where the holy flames will burn your sins."

Luo Fangbai had promised 'peace' before, but now the Chinese have come and Yogyakarta's army has been completely defeated. Wattes, Bantur and Sleman, the three most important cities in Yogyakarta, were all captured by the Marine Corps.

In Bantur, where the Yogyakarta army was most prepared, 5,000 indigenous troops took advantage of the heavy rain to attack the 2,000-strong Marine Corps, and were killed by the Marine Corps with muskets and bayonets, leaving corpses strewn across the field.

In the minds of Yogyakarta natives, muskets that can still fire in heavy rain are weapons of the devil. When a battalion's cap guns were fired, the natives who had gathered their courage and rushed over in the heavy rain were stunned.

Flash cap guns are not truly completely waterproof. All soldiers wear hats like big hats to block the rain when charging, but they only need to press a flash cap on the fire door. This structure does greatly reduce the damage of rain. force'.

At least the firing rate of this battalion's cap guns in heavy rain reached 84%, which is a very, very high number. Compared with the firing rate of flintlock guns under sunny conditions, it is not much worse.

In the Battle of Bantur, the Yogyakarta army was completely defeated. Although there are only 1,500 Marines left in the Marine Corps that continue to march towards the Yogyakarta Palace, after passing Raisman, this number should be reduced to about 1,200, Hamenggu Buwono II But he no longer had the confidence to resist. He wanted to take his people and flee further inland.

At this moment, Hamenggu Buwono II was holding the knife bought by Li Kun in his hand, and his eyes were full of violent killing intent. If there was not a trace of calmness in his brain, he would have chopped Luo Fangbai into pieces with his own hands. It turned into a puddle of meat.

Luo Fangbai didn't have any fear at all. If this threat made his face turn pale, he wouldn't be able to think of such a bold idea. Besides, aren’t the Dutch around? Will the Dutch watch Hamungu Buwono II chop himself up and feed it to the dogs?

"If I am really guilty, my soul after death will be controlled by King Yama, but I will not be able to go to the hell of your true god." Even if I go to the eighteenth level of hell, I will not go to the hell. Luo Fangbai's eyes It was full of Hong Guoguo's determination and fearlessness: "Sultan, the situation has developed to this point. Do you really want to watch your kingdom be destroyed?"

"If you think killing me will help your kingdom, you can kill me now, kill everyone in the mission, and the Chinese businessman who has been imprisoned by you for a long time. But this will not make you Get out of trouble, you know it will only lead to your destruction."

"Your anger and your threats can't help you at all."

"Then don't face me with your anger and threats. We are not three-year-olds."

"Sign the agreement now, surrender unconditionally, and release him unconditionally. This is the choice you should make. This is how Yogyakarta's forces can avoid greater losses."

Luo Fangbai changed from his gentle behavior at first, and became so tough that it was shocking. The 180° turn of the whole person made Hamenggu Buwono II jump in anger, but he did not dare to really let anyone hurt them.

"Of course, this may be too difficult for you. So I have communicated with Mr. Glitter, and now we are willing to take a step back. Let the troops stop for the time being, and you and I can have real sincere talks. But you Fang must release the detained Chinese businessman Li Kun. He needs to receive better treatment immediately, otherwise he will have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair."

At the beginning, Li Kun's legs and feet were broken by these natives, and it took half a month for him to receive preliminary treatment. And then it took so long, Luo Fangbai really doubted whether the legs and feet of this uncle of the king had grown deformed, and whether he could really stand up in the future.

Prince Mankunlegalan was about to cry when he heard this. Thank God, the Chinese are willing to stop the army's steps, this is great news. He immediately looked at Hamenggu Buwono II with hope.

Of course, Hamenggu Buwono II's family lives in the Yogyakarta Palace, but the surrounding area of ​​the palace is the home of these nobles. If the Chinese come to kill, everything will be looted by the Chinese. Even if they are now doing their best to clean up their assets and flee.

But the dignitaries represented by Prince Mankunlegalan must hope that the war can be stopped before it burns to the palace.

Hamenggu Buwono II's face suddenly showed a struggle. He also knew what this represented.

"Can you really stop your army?"

"As long as you can release the people." As long as the uncle can be sent to the army as soon as possible, they will definitely stop.

In fact, after the Surabaya incident broke out, there was a voice in the army that no matter which Chinese businessman was arrested, they would be beaten up in Yogyakarta. Tell them to hand over the people directly. If they don't, they will be well protected. If they dare to do any harm, one life is worth one thousand!

How many Chinese people did Yogyakarta kill? Multiply this number by one thousand, and then kill them fiercely. Kill him and blood will flow like a river. Let's see if the monkeys in Southeast Asia dare to stretch their claws.

But this method was rejected by the superiors because it was too disrespectful to the names of the common people. Although no one knows that it is a diving Kunpeng!

Anyway, the pressure is no longer on Luo Fangbai. As things have developed to this point, Luo Fangbai can be completely sure that Hamenggu Buwono II dare not kill or hurt them.

After their lives are no longer in danger, who wouldn't make a ruthless statement?

"Respected Sultan, life is an hourglass that cannot be rotated. Once it runs out, there is no turning back." Grete was also persuading Hamenggu Buwono II, although Grete had cursed him many times as a big, super-big fool.

According to the Dutch, this kind of thing cannot be made big. Once they see China roll up its sleeves, Yogyakarta will immediately give in, and then keep arguing with the Chinese while maintaining that the incident is not escalated, and then the Dutch will play a supporting role and slowly resolve the matter. Although this will greatly increase the momentum of the Chinese in Southeast Asia, it is much better than the current situation where half of Yogyakarta was taken down by the Chinese Marines.

Now Yogyakarta has become a chicken to be killed. Which monkey in Southeast Asia dares to show its teeth to the Chinese?

The previous bilateral procrastination has, to a certain extent, been a calculation of Batavia. During this period, they also dealt with the Lin family to express their sincerity to the Chinese side.

But when no one expected it, the Chinese suddenly took action. When receiving the news that the Chinese navy had conquered the fort at the mouth of the Progo River, not only Hamenggu Buwono II was stunned, but also Geliter. Then the Chinese Marines were unstoppable, winning battle after battle, and marched straight to the palace. Geliter wanted to mediate but couldn't do it.

Fortunately, the Chinese also had certain concerns. After all, their mission was also in the hands of the Yogyakarta people, and China's tradition of saving face made it difficult for them to use power to fight for their own interests. When Geliter came to communicate with Luo Fangbai, he found that Luo Fangbai was unexpectedly easy to talk to. The latter's attitude really made Geliter strange, but he couldn't find the point that made him strange.

China's requirements were not harsh. It's not that everyone is going to return to the Chinese Marines. As long as two members of the mission accompany the Chinese businessman, the remaining members of the mission will continue to stay in the palace.

Although the two sides will have "sincere" negotiations next.

Hamenggu Buwono II has been pushed to the edge of the cliff. He can choose to escape today and return to the palace that has just been built for more than 20 years in the future, but at that time his Sultanate throne will not be as glorious as it is now. The Solo Sultanate will not give up this opportunity.

Although Hamenggu Buwono II has been beaten by the Chinese Marine Corps, he can still keep his basic dignity as long as this palace is not lost.

This is like Li Longji abandoning Chang'an and fleeing during the Anshi Rebellion. If Chang'an had not been captured by the rebels, it would not have shaken the foundation of the country. But Chang'an was also gone, and the Tang Dynasty would really fall.

For Hamenggu Buwono II, the representative significance of this palace is equally important. As long as it is here, the basic dignity of the Yogyakarta Sultan is still there, otherwise it is not impossible that the phoenix with feathers removed is not as good as a chicken.

Luo Fangbai remained calm on the surface, but his heart suddenly seemed to be beating like a drum. He felt like his heart was about to jump out, and a passionate emotion was reverberating and lingering in his heart, but he could not find an outlet. He had to force himself to suppress this excitement, because Grete had been secretly observing him.

From the moment the two met in the palace, Luo Fangbai was facing a tough contest. He had to appear to be unconcerned on the surface, even though he was carrying a heavy burden in his heart. Facing Grete and Hamenggu Buwono II, his softening and toughness were all for this contest, all for this moment.

He won! When everything was settled, a feeling of exhaustion arose in his heart.

"Your Majesty the Sultan, you have made the wisest decision of your life!" When the news came, he and Gretel would cry to death.
