"What?" All the businessmen were excited now.But everyone still has concerns. They don't know whether this promise is true, because in today's Hualan political situation, guaranteeing the rights and interests of merchants is simply a dream.

Zhang Liewu waved his hand, and the servant next to him handed him a thick book, he waved and said: "This is the "Zhongchuan Commercial Law" that will be released today, and it will be made public to the world. You can take a copy and read it back. The Governor said that to build Zhongchuan into a legal society like the Western Continent, even officials must act in accordance with the law, and there must be no overstepping, otherwise the newly established police station and gendarmerie will find They're troublesome."

"Your Excellency, Sheng Ming." The merchants cheered excitedly.There was a smile on the corner of Zhang Liewu's mouth, he really admired Zhao Shouhong's methods.In order to try his best to fight against the railway company, Zhao Shouhong deliberately instructed Citibank to grant him a loan.Now that the railway company is in a desperate situation, he is giving a helping hand, and the businessmen in the two provinces of Kawahara are grateful to him.

With such a layer of emotional guarantee, the merchants will naturally believe in Zhao Shouhong's words, which invisibly wins over the local merchant class.Now Zhao Shouhong is the first to publish the commercial law, which is to reassure businessmen from the legal system.With these favorable policies, these businessmen will actively invest and build factories in Zhongchuan.The investment of these businessmen will have a driving effect. They will bring this news to all parts of the country, attracting businessmen from all over the country to invest, and the prosperity of Zhongchuan will be irreversible.

Chapter 354 Poppy Scrap

At this time, the Zhongchuan government received another piece of good news. The fortified city of Batavia, which had been under siege for nearly a year, was finally conquered.The Dongzhaini Self-Defense Forces led by Liu Bozhao and Zhang Yunfeng marched into the city and stationed in the city, and at the same time used the students secretly transferred from the Maritime Academy to restore the navy.Now the largest colony of the Red-haired Kingdom on the East Zhaini Islands has been pulled out, and the remaining few colonists scattered on the islands are hiding in the fortifications and trembling, waiting for their fate to come.

After controlling the sea and enough land, a large number of refugees transported from the country to the Kingdom of Kokang were transported in batches to Java Island by large ships, where they will start a new life.There are more and more Hualan people in Java Island, but the anxious red-haired government is out of reach.At this time, Hongmao could not gather a fleet capable of expedition to the Eastern Continent at all, so they had to send envoys to contact the Dongzhaini Self-Defense Forces, hoping to reconcile with the other party.

The Hualan people are about to negotiate with the red-haired people, and the two colonies of Sargaul are the closest.They wanted to get involved, but there was an emergency in their territory, so they didn't care about it at all.It turns out that since the research institute of the space hospital released the drug developed by the wind force at the beginning of the year, the drug quickly entered the atmosphere and spread all over the world. All poppy plants were infected. After several months of brewing, the drug The effect finally appeared.

Ruan Thihong is a peasant woman of the Kinh nationality, and her family lives near Lang Son.This is part of the Annan Kingdom, a colony controlled by the Gauls. In 1887, the Gaul colonists divided Annan into three parts: Nanqi, Zhongqi, and Beiqi. Among them, Nanqi was a French territory, Zhongqi was a protected area, and Beiqi was a semi-protected area.Later, the Gauls combined these three areas with Cambodia to form the so-called Gaul-owned Zhainechina, and appointed the governor of Gaul as the head of the federation to be stationed in Hanoi to squeeze the people of all ethnic groups in the territory.

In order to make huge profits, the Gauls planted opium poppies in large quantities in the entire Gaul territory of Zainichina, which has a warm climate and heavy rainfall.These delicate flowers of death soon bloomed all over the southeastern land, and became the main source of income for people of all ethnic groups.

Ruan Thihong is such a tobacco farmer. Although the colonists of the Gaul Kingdom exploited the people in the territory heavily, everyone can barely survive because of the high profits of poppies.The harvest season has arrived, and Ruan Thihong brought her own tools to the poppy field to harvest milk.

Milking poppy fruit also requires skills. A master who milks the same poppy fruit can harvest [-] to [-]% more milk than a novice. Ruan Thihong is such a master.On weekdays, Ruan Thihong's family always earns the most income, and this time she also wants to earn more to improve the quality of life at home.They will get the money soon. These tobacco farmers are very motivated. As long as they collect the milky white milk in the poppy fruit, dry it and send it to the purchase point designated by the Governor of Gaul, they can get a certain income. .

Thinking in my heart that the clothes of the children in the family are already worn out, maybe it’s time to fill in new clothes, and the old people are weak, maybe I should buy some rice and meat for them to mend, Ruan Thihong has already walked into the field unconsciously. middle.Milking poppies requires a lot of care. When doing this work, there must be no iron among the utensils.Because the milk of poppy fruit will quickly turn black and be scrapped once it touches iron, so all the utensils of these tobacco farmers are made of copper.

Skillfully cutting the poppy fruit with a copper knife, Ruan Thi Hong subconsciously picked it up with a copper basin, but to her surprise, the milky white milk that should have flowed out was nowhere to be seen, and the poppy fruit did not produce a drop of milk .

After waiting for 5 minutes, there was still no milk, Ruan Shi blushed with shock, and she tried her best to calm herself down.Thinking that this is an isolated phenomenon, I turned around to cut another poppy fruit, but the result remained the same.Ruan Shihong was no longer calm, she frantically shuttled through the tobacco field, cutting open poppy fruit one by one, but still couldn't find any drop of milk.Heartbroken Ruan Thihong could no longer control her emotions, she threw away her tools and sat in the field, crying loudly.

There are not a few people who have encountered the same situation as Ruan Thihong. When the Zhaini hired by the Saar and the Jing hired by the Gauls began to mow the poppy fields in various places, they were all shocked to find that the poppy fruit could not be squeezed out at all. A drop of milk.

Without milk, opium cannot be produced, and there is no income from planting poppy fields. Tobacco farmers, who were already living in hardships, went bankrupt in large numbers, and they even had no money to buy food.The hungry people took the risk, and soon launched a large-scale anti-hunger riot in the Zainiqina and Zaini areas.They smashed up big households and official treasuries in various places to rob food, and at the same time smashed government agencies in various places. The colonial governments of Sargaul and Gaul were busy suppressing the riots at the moment, so naturally they could not interfere with this negotiation.

Under Liu Bozhao's strong request, the helpless red-haired man had to go to Batavia to negotiate.The negotiator Burt is a Sumatra tax official.Originally, a small official like him could not take on such an important task, but after the governor and others died in battle, he was already considered the highest official in the East Zhaini Islands of the Red-haired Kingdom.

Fearing that the Eastern Zhaini Self-Defense Forces would seize the opportunity to occupy the entire Eastern Zhaini Islands, the red-haired man had no time to call in high-ranking officials from the mainland to negotiate, so he had no choice but to send the tax official here.

Burt didn't pay attention to the Hualan people at all. After he boarded the pier, he led a few guards to the original Governor's Mansion proudly.

"I'm sorry, you must hand over your guns to enter." Burt led a few guards and rushed inside, but was stopped by the guards in front of the door.

"What? I'm the special envoy of the Red-haired country, and I'm here to negotiate. You have no right to disarm my guard's guns." Burt glared at the Hualan soldier and said.

The Hualan soldiers didn't show any face at all: "We welcome the special envoys, but they must all disarm, otherwise we will have to stop you."

"What? You damn yellow-skinned monkey, dare to be so arrogant to me. Come on, let me break in." Bert waved his hand and rushed in. In his eyes, he also wanted to enter the governor's mansion with a rifle in his hand.When the Hualan guards saw that the other party was coming, they immediately waved and said, "Everyone is ready to fight, and the bullets are loaded."

Several Hualan guards raised their rifles tit for tat, and the guards from both sides quickly rushed out to surround the red-haired man.Burt's face twitched a bit. Seeing the other party's firm expression, he knew that it would be impossible not to disarm today. "Okay, you all stay here, I'll go in alone." Bert had no choice but to find a step for himself, and let the guards stay here to avoid being disarmed.

Chapter 355 Negotiation Result

"Of course you can, but if you want to enter, you have to be searched, and you can only enter after making sure you are not carrying a weapon." The Hualan guard said.

"You..." Burt's blood surged with anger, but looking at the shiny steel gun in the opponent's hand, he finally chose to compromise, after all, life is more important than face.

Bert was led to sit at the negotiating table. He found two young people who were only [-] or [-] years old, and he was furious immediately: "You are amusing me. You sent such young people to negotiate. Don’t you just despise red hair like that?”

"I think Mr. Special Envoy misunderstood. The two of us are the top commanders of the Dongzhaini Self-Defense Force. If you want to talk, you can only talk to us." Zhang Yunfeng said with a smile.

"You?" Burt opened his mouth in surprise. He couldn't believe that the red-haired colonial army would be defeated by such two young men.

"It's impossible." Bert blurted out, this is his true thought. ,

"It's possible. There's an old saying in Hualan that it's not about age. As long as you have the ability to achieve great things, age doesn't matter." Liu Bozhao smiled and said, "Let's talk now. After all, peace is better than war." Be nice."

"I have received the full power of attorney from the red-haired government to decide the terms of any negotiations. Our red-haired request is that you withdraw from Batavia and return our fleet. The red-haired government will recognize your commitment to Java Island. Occupation of other areas. You can establish the Hualan Autonomous Region, but you must recognize that Java Island belongs to the Red-haired country." Burt put forward his own conditions, which in his opinion are too generous.

But as soon as Burt's conditions were mentioned, Liu Bozhao and Zhang Yunfeng frowned. They felt that these red-haired men were really ignorant of current affairs and couldn't figure out the current situation. How could such a declining empire with a weak military force still want to Talk about conditions.

Liu Bozhao didn't discuss Burt's suggestion at all. He took out a few pieces of paper and said, "I think Mr. Special Envoy should listen to our opinions first. We ask Hongmao to completely withdraw from the East Zhaini Islands and hand over the land to us. Recognize the re-establishment of our Lanfang Republic, and our sovereignty over the Eastern Zhaini Islands, and we will guarantee the safety of all red-haired people, and allow you to return to your country with your personal belongings."

"What? You're blackmailing. You just occupied Java Island. The Eastern Zhaini Islands are huge." Burt slapped the table and stood up.

"But now the natives are extinct. Although the Eastern Zhaini Islands are large, they don't have many people. As far as I know, there are less than a thousand red-haired people in the Eastern Zhaini Islands. You don't have a navy. How can you compete with us? "Zhang Yunfeng said.

Burt was at a loss for words, but he still refused to admit defeat: "Your conditions are really unacceptable. If so, we will fight to the end."

"Great, this is exactly what I want, but I will no longer guarantee the safety of any red-haired people. We have not signed the Geneva Convention. Once caught, all red-haired people will be executed." Liu Bozhao got up and said.

"You..." Burt was completely dizzy. He knew that the government of the red-haired country could not win this war. Now the Dongzhaini Self-Defense Force has a strength of more than [-], well-equipped and high morale. With the remaining red-haired men, There is simply no way to fight it.What's even more frightening is that the opponent has already mastered the command of the sea and can launch attacks flexibly, making it difficult for one's own side to take care of one thing and lose another.

Burt's voice suddenly dropped an octave. A diplomat without confidence is the most difficult thing to be, not to mention that he is just an incompetent temporary diplomat.Looking at the two young people opposite, Bert said: "Even if I sign this kind of condition, the red-haired government will not agree to it. I can only go back and report it. I don't know how the government will approve it."

"Of course, Mr. Burt can go back first. But I want to remind you that you don't have much time, because we won't stop attacking for a moment. When we completely control the East Zhaini Islands, you will lose all chips. "Liu Bozhao said.

"You... This is a violation of international law. You actually went to war during the negotiation." Burt was really angry.

Zhang Yunfeng shook his head: "Don't talk to me about international law. When you encouraged the natives to massacre the Hualan people, you never thought about whether it complies with international law. Besides, we are not a signatory country. Whether it is violated or not is none of your business."

Bert was pissed off, but the East Zhaini Self-Defense Forces began to occupy the territory without stopping.Soon Borneo, Celebes, and even the easternmost New Guinea were invaded. The red-haired people in these places were weak and could not pose a threat to the East Zhaini Self-Defense Forces. As a result, the Hualan people quickly took control of these places. place.Liu Bozhao led a division to personally land on Sumatra Island. As the second largest island among the East Zhaini Islands, this is already the last stronghold of the red-haired people.

Before the red-haired government could make a formal reply, the East Zhaini Self-Defense Forces launched an attack on the island.The five Chinese armies advanced side by side, squeezing the strategic space of the red-haired people, and gradually drove them to the Aceh area.After several hopeless battles, only more than 300 red-haired remnants retreated to Aceh, and they were in danger of being wiped out at any time. Burt had to urge the government to make a quick decision every day.

In the face of strong military pressure and its own weakening military strength, the Hongmao government seemed quite helpless.There was no response to the invitation to mediate between the two countries of Sargaul, which made the red-haired people completely desperate. In the end, they had no choice but to agree to the other party's request.

The treaty was signed as quickly as possible, and soon the remaining red-haired men boarded the Saer passenger ship with their personal belongings.What they have to face is months of wandering at sea and government inquiries after returning to the red-haired country.After the East Zhaini Self-Defense Forces liberated the entire East Zhaini Islands, they quickly established the Lanfang Republic. As a local prominent family, Liu Yuan's elder brother Liu Cheng was elected as the prime minister of the republic, and Liu Yuan was the minister of defense.But in fact, the military power of the whole country is in the hands of Liu Bozhao and Zhang Yunfeng. At the same time, the Dongzhaini Self-Defense Forces were also renamed the Lanfang Defense Forces.

Zhongchuan has many graduates from official departments, and some of them were sent to Lanfang Republic to assist in administrative work.In order to protect the safety of the Lanfang Republic, the Zhongchuan government ordered Liu Bozhao to invite the Hollywood consortium to invest in the East Zhaini Islands, develop local resources and build factories.

The government of the White Eagle Country, which has always adhered to the open-door policy, couldn't wait for it. Under the management of the Hollywood consortium, the parliament quickly passed the order to recognize the Lanfang Republic and entrusted the Hollywood consortium to make large-scale investments there.

Soon woodworking factories, grain processing factories, various daily necessities factories, and even petroleum refineries and shipyards started construction all over the Lanfang Republic.As long as these factories are built, the national power of the Lanfang Republic will take off rapidly, and Zhongchuan will finally have its own oil production area.

Chapter 356 Feasting the Xiongnu Prince

This country, which was just recognized by the White Eagle Country, was not blocked by the big powers like Hualan.Perhaps because the country is relatively small and poses little threat to the great powers, the Lanfang Republic can easily obtain various industrial machinery and investment.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Ruoxue used the resources of the White Eagle Kingdom to secretly export various factory equipment and technologies to the East Zhaini Islands.

Many of these things will go around in circles there, and then be sent to the Kyaukpyu Port Special Zone of the Kokang Kingdom, or even Zhongchuan to strengthen the industrial strength there.In addition, taking advantage of the suitable climate and land of the Lanfang Republic, tobacco, sugar cane, rubber and other plantations have been widely established here. In the future, together with the Kokang Kingdom, this place will become the supplier of tropical economic crops in Zhongchuan.

The White Eagle Kingdom recognized the Lanfang Republic and obtained enough commercial profits, but this was not without cost.Because the White Eagle Kingdom was the first to recognize the Lanfang Republic, and got such a big piece of cake, it misunderstood other powers that the Hualan government of the Lanfang Republic was instigated by the White Eagle Kingdom. .

When Liu Bozhao took full control of the East Zhaini Islands and established the Lanfang Republic, Zhao Shouhong was in the best restaurant in Xining, receiving princes from the 36 Banners of the Xiongnu in Qingyuan.Ma Fuxiang was acquainted with the princes, and he wrote to invite these princes to Xining, saying that the new Xining minister wanted to see them.

As for the new Minister of Xining, the princes of various ministries could not understand his temper, but as a necessary meeting with the Shangguan, they still needed it, so they decided to go to the appointment on time.

Zhao Shouhong had already reserved the entire restaurant for receiving guests. Although such a place was quite shabby for him, it was already very luxurious for the princes who had never been out of Qingyuan.

The Qingyuan 36 Banners Alliance is actually just an imaginary number. There are only 28 Banners of the Heshuo Te Division, [-] Banner of the Hui Te Division, [-] Banners of the Chuoros Division, [-] Banners of the Turghute Division, and [-] Banner of the Khalkha Division. Only [-] banners, the largest population of these banners is tens of thousands of people, and the fewest are only a few thousand people.
