Beiyang new warlord

It seems that the general situation in the city is gone. Before the Ming army invaded, Batavia seems to have been occupied by Ming Dynasty. The company that originally wrote in Dutch on the long street disappeared overnight, replaced by Ming Dynasty documents. I don’t even know the name of this shop and that shop for a while, the John Lee Gousheng Brothers Company, Nicholas Zhao Erdan Shop are also hung up, and the Daming merchants and immigrants who were all arrested because the Netherlands declared war on Daming. After a while, it became even more popular, not to mention all of them were released, and all of them became guests of the Dutch nobles. Some people were even willing to offer half of the shares to win Mingren, as long as he was willing to show his face in front of his family's shop , Just protect your family from being slaughtered.

The strength of the country is the strength of the people, which is vividly reflected here. The boy who was originally poor and white got a salary increase and promotion in just a day or two. He married Bai Fumei and became a Lizard Gull, reaching the pinnacle of his life!

Under such circumstances, how can the epic street fighting in Manila be carried out?

When the cannons burst out outside the city, as the ruler of Batavia and even the entire East Indies, the atmosphere in the board of directors of the Dutch East India Company building was also oppressive as if suffocating. , but here they are all silent, with their heads lowered, their brows tightened, and the smell of smoke in the air is so strong that it is choking.

He was also sitting at one end of the round table. In just a few days, Cohen's face seemed to have aged 20 years. His cheeks were dry and thin, and his skin was full of old people's slack, sagging and wrinkled one after another. He was also terribly silent. with.

However, in the maddeningly suppressed atmosphere, someone finally couldn't sit still. The one who spoke was actually Cohen's nephew. The person in charge of Batavia, that playboy Rufeli, still had a Trembling, he patted the table hastily but excitedly.

"Gentlemen, I suggest that the big guys take out half of the shares and allow the barbarian emperor in the east to become a shareholder of our great company!"

Not to mention, his words really caused a small disturbance at the shareholder meeting. After all, the Dutch East India Company was the first one Mao Jue wanted to cooperate with. The Dutch East India Company also belongs to the global power. Top notch, this scheme seems to work!

However, the ugliness of human nature and the greed of capitalists are revealed. At this juncture, there are still some people who are reluctant to part with it. Several small and medium shareholders clamored that they had few shares and should have more shares from major shareholders, while some people clamored that they did not support the right In the Great Ming War, those who supported the war should pay for the shares. The shareholders meeting was finally as lively as a vegetable market, but no one noticed that the old face of Ke En, who was sitting in the chairman's seat, was getting more and more serious. He was so gloomy and ugly that he didn't alarm anyone, he simply sighed, turned and walked out.

This debate is still going on, and it even intensifies. It seems that Mao Jue has agreed to take 50.00% of the shares of the Dutch East India Company and leave. When he relied on his own privilege to suppress the matter, the door of the conference room on the other end was slammed open. His old face was covered with sweat and blood. Colonel Field, a Batavian mercenary, broke in panting. , without manners, he was pointing anxiously.

"Gentlemen, the Ming army has broken through the city wall and is now attacking the city!"

Once again, the noisy East India Company headquarters fell silent.

If the fanatical religious beliefs would have made the army invincible, the Crusades would have penetrated Central Asia long ago!After all, they were just strong men from the tribe. After more than ten minutes of bloody battles, the manor city wall to the east and the port city wall to the north were breached one after another. Without waiting for God to save him, he scolded his son to save his own life, and fled to the city in all directions. As for the priests who released the "big booster technique" and encouraged them to fight with the Ming army, they ran away long ago. I went, and those mercenaries hired by the company with a lot of money were "loyal" guards at the headquarters of the East India Company this time, and they didn't go up to the city wall at all.

But this time, the Ming army did not carry out a massacre like it did in Manila to avenge the Spaniards. The originally chaotic troops just marched into the city in an orderly manner, controlled various strategic nodes, and hired those Dutch who had no fighting spirit. The soldiers disarmed and drove them out of the city. After all, last time the Spaniards carried out a bloody massacre of the Ming people in Manila in a genocidal manner. This time, the Dutch only declared war on the Ming Dynasty, and did not attack civilians on a large scale. Not to mention deep hatred and blood hatred.

Another important reason is economics.

The Dutch East India authorities belong to a predatory colonial economy. The entire East Indies has a population of 1000 to [-] million. The main economic activities are concentrated in Batavia. Every year, chiefs from all over the country send land and tribute to Batavia. The sold and exchanged commodities were also sent to Batavia, where they were sorted by Dutch clerks, purchased at low prices, and then shipped to Daming, India, the five Central and South countries, Japan, and Western Europe to be sold at high prices.

Da Ming is not an internationalist fighter, and the attack on Batavia is a colonial struggle, and it is not to liberate the natives. The Dutch have already established a very stable plundering rule here. What Ming needs to do is to take over steadily and fill the original The money from the Dutch East India Company is just in his wallet. If Batavia is burned and the colonial order established by the Dutch is broken, Ming will need to reconquer island by island and re-establish order. Fancy silver!

Pang Dahai has been an official for so many years, but he knows clearly that everything that can't get along with Mao Jue's pocketbook will not end well, and he will encounter this bad luck again.

At the general meeting of shareholders, a group of well-dressed gentlemen were arguing to the sky, but the Ming army really killed them, but most of the large group of guys disappeared without a trace. At two o'clock in the afternoon, surrounded by a large number of guards Next, when the army headquarters of the Minister of the Navy, Pang Hai, came out under the Dutch East India Company building, holding the Batavia key, only Curt, a dying old man, was left.

He seemed to be a few years older, trembling with every step he took, as if he might fall down at any time. After a few minutes, Kurt pushed open the door of the office building with difficulty and walked in front of Pang Dahai. Facing the aura of victors, Pang Dahai riding high on his horse bowed deeply, and held the golden key of the Batavia gate in front of him with both hands.

"In the name of God, the Lord dedicates to you the key of Batavia and the dominion of this land. The Batavia headquarters of the Dutch East India Company surrenders unconditionally to you. I hope you will treat the Christians in the city with chivalry. , mistakenly want to burn, kill and loot!"

Although this trip suffered a lot in the hands of these Xi Fans, Da Da Hai's bearing is not too big to care about an old man who dies at any time. His staff officer Xia He and the mother dragon snatched the shiny pure gold key with both hands. He handed it to him with a bit of reluctance, holding the hot key held by Kurt and looking at it for a second, Pang Dahai immediately raised the key high, and in an instant, followed him to open the door. Coming here, tens of thousands of Daming sailors couldn't help shouting excitedly along with him, and the whole city suddenly resounded with cheers that shook the sky.

The last Western power in Southeast Asia was completely expelled. After this battle, the huge Southeast Asia became the bathtub of Ming Dynasty. For the first time, the maritime territory of China, an agricultural empire, expanded so far!

Chapter 883

After more than 400 years since the Southern Song Dynasty, Hangzhou’s second peak period has arrived. First, the United East India Company of the Ming Dynasty took root here, and then His Majesty the Emperor seemed to use it as a companion capital. A month ago, the Longwu Dynasty was just flattened. , Mao Jue returned to Hangzhou comfortably with his imperial guards in triumph. The mighty team paraded the characters of the Longwu Dynasty, which really made the ancient city of Hangzhou more beautiful.

This has not waited for the people from the south of the Yangtze River to have a good time talking about the extermination of the food, and there is another golden palace offering prisoners, and the offerings are all foreign ghosts. Offer captive foreign chiefs?We in Hangzhou have caught up with the Great Chang'an treatment!Just because of this explosive news, the newspapers sold like crazy yesterday, and the Hangzhou International Port, which has been built and improved, is also crowded with people.

Among them, the most depressing one is the newly appointed Internet celebrity in Hangzhou, the former Emperor Longwu Zhu Jianyu. If you say that Mao Jue is really big-hearted, the emperors of all dynasties encountered him. Quick, even if it is kinder not to kill him, he would have to lock him up in an inconspicuous corner, but when he got to Mao Jue's place, instead of killing him, he placed him in an apartment owned by the East India Company Afterwards, he recruited a large number of reporters to report on him every day.

Not to mention, Emperor Longwu is quite suitable for this new Internet celebrity status. Yesterday he stayed up half the night again and found a lot of theories in the pile of old papers to emphasize the family world and that he is the legitimate emperor. As a result, this morning, originally None of the reporters who should have interviewed him on time and on time didn't come, which immediately turned the former emperor into a passing Internet celebrity.

Zhu Jianyu is also like suffering from the anxiety disorder of the old Internet celebrity. He keeps turning around with his hands behind his back. From time to time, he looks along the security window on the second floor to see if there is a carriage parked underneath. Who knows this time, he is responsible for guarding and taking care of him. Zhang Fuchen, the deputy director of Yuhang Films, came up the stairs.

"Mr. Zhu, the police force at the pier is tense today, so I won't accompany you. If you want to eat, you can call the restaurant opposite, and I will pay for it."

"Hey! You are gone, who will watch me?"

Although this Mr. Zhu is much stronger than Mr. Zhu, seeing the only person in charge of guarding him, he hurriedly confessed that he was so excited that he ran away again, and the sense of loss of the old Internet celebrity was even stronger, and he looked empty. The open door flickered there, stretched out his hand and screamed for a long time, but couldn't hold back anymore, Zhu Yujian went downstairs out of anger.

On the other side of the building, there is a small restaurant, and this place is actually empty, only a young man is left there, suffocating, flipping through the newspaper and reading it endlessly.Either in the deep palace or squatting in the prison, Zhu Yujian's social skills are not good enough, he didn't know how to strike up a conversation for a while, and after a while, he coughed heavily.

"This commoner, I ask you, what happened today? Those newspaper reporters didn't come either? Everyone left, what happened?"

When asked here, Zhu Yujian suddenly became agitated again, and shouted excitedly: "Could it be that the guy Yongli came here to fight?"

To the embarrassment of the former emperor, this little guy didn't look at him at all, his eyes staring at the newspaper rolled upwards, and he groaned

"The Yongli Bandit still wants to beat the army? Where did you come from, old man?"

Pointing at the newspaper, the little guy looked like he was pointing out the country, and he analyzed passionately: "Last month, King Sun Kewang of Daxi defected, and the Mu thief in Yunnan took the opportunity to counterattack. A regiment of cavalry was killed like a mountain, blood flowed like a river, and the corpses almost blocked the way into the mountain."

"If the Xukeng Railway from Xuzhou to Guangxi's Kengshan hadn't been repaired yet, the emperor and his elders would not have paid for the transport costs, and the bandits in the southwestern mountains would have been leveled out long ago!"

This sentence wiped out Zhu Yujian's little hope. It was not just as simple as the defeat of Mu Guogong in Yunnan, but more importantly, the attitude of the people towards their evil clan, the Southwest Gang!

No wonder no reporter came to follow up and interview him. No wonder Mao Jue didn't even bother to imprison him. The Ming royal family is worth following. Who will follow the Southwest Bandits?

Loss, resentment, and resentment reverberated in Zhu Yujian's heart, full of depression, and it took him a while to ask again with difficulty.

"Then today, everyone is empty, what are the big guys doing?"

"Brother, are you really from the mountains?"

This sentence happened to hit the boy's pain point. He was extremely depressed and finally put down the newspaper. He looked at Zhu Yujian, who looked like a bearded man with a big beard, and explained, "Xi Fan didn't offend our Daming Lv a while ago." Song? Your Majesty sent out the Heavenly Army, defeated the bandit army in Baohehai, and even chased him all the way to the bandit's lair. It was a thunderbolt sweep. Today is the day to return to the voyage to offer captives. I heard that our Da Ming's artifact will show up , can puff smoke with both noses, sound like thunder, and has unstoppable courage, but unfortunately I still have to watch the shop, I am not lucky enough to watch the excitement!"

An image of Guan Gong probably appeared in his mind, with two big nostrils and black smoke spraying out. This little guy was dreaming there with fascination, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"By the way, what do you want to order? The chef is going to watch the excitement, and there is only one left in this shop. Hey, where is it?"

At this time, Zhu Yujian had already called a carriage, and rushed to the port. Not only was it related to the last regime of the Zhu Ming royal family, but the old boy was still unconvinced. Is the emperor even more important?Are a bunch of reporters blind?Don't come to interview him!

At this time, Hangzhou International Port had already reached the level of a sea of ​​people. Almost 10 people crowded in. The police force in Hangzhou was not enough, so the Imperial Guards had to help. Guns were sweating profusely forming a human wall, gnashing their teeth and yelling, which kept the main road open.

I have to feel that this era is still so unfair. When the common people are gnashing their teeth and sweating in the crowded crowd to watch the excitement, a group of rich grandsons, uh, rich uncles comfortably put two seats on the edge of the port. The five-storey Empire State Store was fully booked. The major shareholders of the East India Company, as well as some other large importers and exporters stood on the observation deck on the roof with large binoculars and looked down. Level shopkeepers, agents line up on the fifth floor, fourth floor, and third floor, and there are beautiful waitresses next to them to provide juice and tea, not to mention how comfortable it is.

At nine o'clock in the morning, when the sun was rising and approaching the top of the head, the people leaning on the iron railing at the edge of the port suddenly shouted excitedly: "Come here!"

As they watched excitedly, four strands of black smoke came blowing from the sea level. In later generations, this is definitely a negative example of environmental protection. In this era, it is a representative of industry and technology. Amidst the excited shouts of the citizens, the four Amidst the roar of the huge machine, the huge monster docked into the military port. As if to pay tribute to the citizens of the empire, the flagship Storm Legion blew its whistle for a long time, which instantly passed through the entire port.

Listening to the roaring siren, the crowd was completely ignited at once, followed by the siren, and the huge cheers boiled like a tide.

In the boiling of the crowd, the neat snare drums sounded again. Wearing a blue cotton armor uniform and a blue ribbon on the hat, the sailor held a gun in both hands, and strode down majestically with his head held high. , Brother Bing's mighty body, many Huaichun girls who immediately hooked up with them screamed loudly, but the captured dignitaries from the western countries who were dragged down behind them, their hands in shackles, were not so chic The fat and flat bodies of each one, and the custom-made colorful uniforms are stretched tightly, like a group of opera singers.

During the escort of the sailors, he was pushed into the wooden prison cart and looked at the surprised citizens of Daming outside the fence. The French Prince Condé still showed the pride of a Gallic rooster. A Spanish duke hummed.

"A bunch of uneducated savages!"

But before he could finish his sentence, the citizens of Daming who were next to him also pointed at him and started discussing and laughing loudly.

"Look at that man, wearing women's stockings and high heels!"

"Hey! It's so disgusting, so perverted! The big man dressed like this, is Xi Fan a psychopath?"
