New Shun 1730

This time, Kapitan and Lei Zhenlan no longer needed to convene, people crowded over spontaneously.

The Marines, who had completed the city's entry ceremony, also began to form formations to maintain order, guard the surrounding area, take over the defense of the former Governor's Palace, and be on guard against the Dutch who were stubbornly resisting.

Liu Yu and Li Huan, since they were prepared to let Niu Er get this great favor, they went directly into the Governor's Mansion without staying in front of the crowd, and only called Kapitan and others who were originally in the city into the Governor's Mansion.

Niu Er looked at the thousands of people gathered around, but he wasn't nervous at all. He is also a man who has done great things in the Burianan area, and he is also in charge of military and political affairs of tens of thousands of people.

Having just experienced a warm welcome into the city, there was certainly nothing to be nervous about when facing these common people who were Chinese like myself.

I thought that if I served as the governor of Java in the future, I would have to deal with these people in the city frequently.

This was the first time that I had dealt with these people as a member of the imperial court. I felt important, so I used the accent I had learned from the former sugar factory slave workers in Boliang'an in the past few years to follow the instructions of Li Huan and Liu Yu. The advice and the agreement were made in three chapters.

After the three things were said, a burst of warm applause erupted in the square.

These three things are indeed what they are most concerned about right now.

In other words, it is what they are most concerned about within the scope of the imperial court's jurisdiction.

As for the passenger flow in hotels and restaurants; the middlemen in foreign trade and so on. Although the changes were caused by the imperial court's visit to Nanyang, it seems that the imperial court has no obligation to resolve these matters, so expectations are not too high.

Besides, it's just a simple agreement now. It seems that the governor sent by the imperial court is very talkative. He also said that if he has any grievances in the future, he can directly submit them for inquiry. He also said that he would have two days free at the end of each month to meet with the citizens. This really made these people express their gratitude to the imperial court. The expectations have increased a lot.

Outside the Governor's Mansion, there was thunderous cheers.

In the Governor's Palace, Liu Yu and Li Huan were being visited by the Chinese Kapitan and Lei Zhenlan from the former colonial government.

After a bunch of nonsense, lies and nonsense, Liu Yu did not expose it, let alone talk nonsense, and said directly: "Although you are close to the Dutch and have been Kapitan and Lei Zhenlan, you still recognize the words of your ancestors. You have also read some books by the sages. Did you know that there was a "Qian Maoling Order" in the Han Dynasty? "

Everyone, including Lian Fuguang, had met Liu Yu before.

Before Liu Yu went to Europe, he came to Batavia and stayed in Lian Fuguang's house.

I also saw the scene when Liu Yu went to the Wuzhimi Almshouse in Batavia and mocked them in front of the account book.

But no one expected that after meeting again, Liu Yu would be so direct and directly throw out the "Order to Move Maoling".

Lian Fuguang has read the book and knows about this.

And some Lei Zhenlan didn't understand it very well and had no idea what was going on.

But when Liu Yu said something like "I think I still recognize my ancestor's calligraphy," I felt that if I said I didn't know, I might make the two people in front of me unhappy.

However, those who knew it were immediately shocked into a cold sweat.

Xin Dao: Is the imperial court really going to swallow up his family property?

I originally wanted to wait until the incident here was over and the imperial court sent a governor to take over, and then do some operations.

Who would have ever expected to directly meet a prince and a marquis? Although everyone loves money, it is impossible to directly bribe him at this juncture, right?

Besides, with such a high status, if you want to eat your own property, why should you accept bribes if you can eat it all?

Lian Fuguang was covered in cold sweat, thinking that if this was the case, then what would he want to do if he took such huge risks to start an uprising?

Wasn't the reason for the incident just to show some mercy to him after the imperial court came? Although there is no need to die, it would be meaningless if the money is gone.

While he was panicking, Liu Yu said: "Lian Fuguang, please talk to them. Last time I stayed in your manor temporarily, I saw that you also have a study room. I guess you have read books and can read."

Lian Fuguang swallowed his saliva and explained what the "Order of Moving Maoling" was. Those who didn't know what it meant before instantly turned pale.

This is not the time when the Dutch ruled. When facing a marquis or a prince in the court, one must kneel on the ground to answer.

At this time, I just felt that my back was full of sweat, my clothes were soaked, and they were sticky and stuck to my body. I couldn't breathe, and I was sweating more and more.

The atmosphere was extremely stagnant for a while, no one dared to ask questions, and no one knew what to ask.

After a long silence, Liu Yu said: "Actually, to put it bluntly, you are the local snakes in Nanyang. As the saying goes, a fierce dragon cannot cross the river, and a strong dragon cannot suppress the local snakes. The imperial court wants to control Nanyang, and if you don't leave, the imperial court will feel uneasy."

"Lian Fuguang, let's not talk about others, let's just talk about you. Your mother is a Christian and has good relations with Westerners; your brother-in-law is from Kapitan in Ambon; your wife's natal family is from Cirebon. Lei Zhenlan. It can be said that you are all related to the whole of Nanyang."

"Isn't it an exaggeration to say that you are the powerful men of Southeast Asia?"

"There is a saying. When the Dutch were here, they needed you to be Kapitan and Lei Zhenlan to rule the Chinese. Now the court is the court of the Chinese. Do you still need to be Kapitan and Lei Zhenlan? "

"You are actually of little use to the imperial court."

"I guess you have thought about this, and you probably have the idea that saving money can make the world go round. But since you have read the book, you also know a story in "The Order of Moving Maoling", right?"

"The hero Guo Xie used his connections to find the general Wei Qing and said that he was not a powerful person. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lamented: He who can directly rely on his connections to the general is still saying that he is not a powerful person. So what does it mean to be powerful?"

"So, don't think too hard about this matter. What the court is most taboo about is collusion between military and businessmen. If soldiers can use businessmen's money, then the court will definitely not accept it."

"By entrusting us, you are putting us on the fire. How would His Majesty view the merchant entrustment relationship, entrusting it directly to the imperial court's Governor-General of the Navy and the Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council?"

"If you ask others, do you think I dare not accept this money? How dare they dare to accept this money?"

"So, don't let your mind wander. I'll talk about the court's policies. You can listen first. If you have any ideas, you can put them forward later."

A few simple words directly blocked all roads for Lian Fuguang and others.

And these words are very serious. Lian Fuguang and others dare not accept such big labels as collusion between the military and businessmen, soldiers taking money from businessmen, etc.

Lian Fuguang quietly wiped his sweat and said bravely: "Your Highness, Marquis Jing, how can I be considered a powerful person? How can I be compared with the hero Guo Xie? If you really have that ability, why should you be bullied by the Dutch? Looks like this?”

As he spoke, he was crying in his heart.

He thought to himself that he was not a powerful person. Guo Xie, the great hero, could directly find the general.

I am in the court, who can I turn to? Who cares about me? Who knows me?

General of the Han Dynasty, what level was that? I'm afraid that the Marquis and the prince in front of me won't be able to catch up, right?

Not to mention finding someone at the level of a general, just go to the Jiedushi of Fujian. Can you get in?

Most of my family property is favored by the imperial court, so what else is better?

Talking about moving to Maoling, my family's roots are all in Java. After moving away, wouldn't I be a piece of shit? The imperial court regards officials as the most respected people. If you go elsewhere, wouldn't you just be manipulated casually? How can I fill up the yamen gate with this little money?

When it comes to his own property and family, Lian Fuguang can only bite the bullet and say that he is really not a powerful person, and he is not qualified to say that the Raptors can't survive the river.

If I can make Batavia unable to live without me, if I can make the court's yamen enter the rule of Batavia, the court cannot enter Batavia, that's okay.

But how can I do this?

Yes, a bunch of relatives in my family are all Kapitan and Lei Zhenlan from various parts of Southeast Asia, and most importantly, they are also Wu Zhi fans.

But it is said that in-laws should be well-matched. Is it possible that I, a Kapitan from Batavia, married a slave worker in a sugar factory? Isn't it normal to marry each other? Lian Fuguang thought to himself, I don't believe that you nobles are not married to each other? The emperor didn't say that he would marry his daughter to an old farmer, right?

Isn't it normal for my dignified Batavia Kapitan, the highest-status Chinese in all of Nanyang, to find a few well-matched people?

There are so many things I want to say in my heart.

But I really didn't dare to say it out loud, so I could only express hesitantly that I was just a little ant.

Liu Yu smiled and said: "Do you think that debating the definition of tyranny can change anything? Don't think that the court is interested in your family wealth. If it is really interested in your family wealth, the so-called desire to add more money Why are you so guilty? You yourself were a tax collector and a Kapitan. You know what you have done. There are reasons why the court wants to punish you. "

"But I finally gave you a chance to make meritorious deeds anyway. Do you think that without you making meritorious deeds and starting an uprising in the city, I wouldn't be able to capture Batavia?"

Lian Fuguang was so frightened that he was sweating. How could he dare to say anything? I just kept slandering in my heart, saying that the imperial court was indeed inferior to the Dutch.

He didn't know his fate in history. He still feels that the Dutch are legal, have lawyers, and are reasonable.

After changing the court, he could be so shameless and say directly, "There is no need to blame someone if you want to."

However, the people of Batavia were cheering outside, proving that Liu Yu was right. The court itself was a Chinese court, so there was no need for more Kapitans. Even the local indigenous Kapitans were of less significance to the court than They are big.

There were thousands more well-armed troops out there, with more artillery and larger warships than the Dutch. It is true that Batavia can be captured without him starting an uprising in the city.

Thinking about everything weird these days, Lian Fuguang ignited a glimmer of hope again, thinking, yes, if the court really wants to swallow up his family property, why should he give himself a chance to make meritorious deeds anyway?

With this glimmer of hope, Lian Fuguang hurriedly said: "I don't dare to think like this. The heavenly soldiers of the imperial court are majestic and powerful, and the navy's ships are huge. Naturally, they can conquer everything. Even Batavia is no problem."

"It's just...just..."

He didn't know what it should be, so he could only hope that Liu Yu would really let him go. When the Dutch ruled, they did not have the power, or the courage, to resist. Now that there is a new government that is stronger and has more troops than the Netherlands, how can they dare to resist?

People are like swordsmen and fish, Lian Fuguang thought, that's all, what else is there to say at this time?
