Rebirth of South America as King

"Father, a few business delegation representatives from Lanfang are in the port. They want to see you."

More than 2,000 Chinese immigrants were resettled in the open space outside the port to eat and rest. On the other side, eldest son Wu Chong came over and told Wu Jin a message.

"Songka has been busy with a lot of affairs in recent times. I can't spare time to meet them alone. When you receive Master Mei and his party, you entertain them instead of me."

"They said that they wanted to see their father on behalf of Lanfang's seventeen business groups, and to discuss with them the important matter of expanding the investment in Songkhla, and there must be no delay."

"What matters to Lanfang Company? Their assets are hidden, for fear of being caught by the Dutch, and their net worth is not guaranteed. They take out silver and expand their capital investment in Songkhla, and they are not afraid to attract the attention of the Dutch. ? "

The Wu regime itself is also engaged in commercial trade. There is a certain degree of competition between the Lanfang and Songkhla regimes in maritime transportation, grain, cloth, and trade in industrial and commercial goods. However, because they fell to the Dutch completely, relying on the Dutch in Nanyang Power, the business group inside Lanfang Company often crowded out the business group under Songka regime, the two sides have accumulated a lot of contradictions.

"Listening to them, it seems that it was a change in Lanfang's internal affairs. Liu Asheng retired in advance and recommended his son Liu Fangliang to be Lanfang's Jiatai, but Liu Fangliang had not yet come to power. He privately prepared to agree to the Dutch threat and allowed the Dutch to send colonial officials Supervising Lanfang's internal governance affairs.

They are worried that the Dutch's further control of Lanfang Company will repeat the tragedy more than 20 years ago, so they find a way out for the business group and the family in advance. "

"The tragedy of more than two decades ago is indispensable for Lan Fang's responsibility. They are now scared."

Wu Jin sneered, disdain.

Wu Jin personally experienced the overwhelming incident of Dagang Corporation more than 20 years ago. At that time, the Chinese immigration regimes in other parts of the East Indies were annihilated by the Dutch. Only two Chinese, Dagang and Lanfang, were left on the island of Borneo. regime.

In 1850, Dagang Company refused the Dutch's submission, and gathered Chinese workers to resist the Dutch aggression. During this period, Lan Fang Company obeyed the Dutch order, not only sending armed Chinese workers to fight Dagang Company, but also after Dagang Company failed to resist, On the way out of the Dagang Company's territory, Yu Huagong was intercepted and disarmed by Liu Asheng and Lanfang's armed personnel, and finally handed them over to the Dutch for disposal.

Dagang Company was destroyed and more than 3,000 Chinese died in the war. Lan Fang's Jiatai Liu Aseng used the help of Lan Fang to eliminate his internal opposition and stabilized Lanfang Jiatai's position. However, Dagang's destruction However, it seriously weakened the armed forces of the Nanyang Chinese, opened the prelude to the demise of the Nanyang Chinese regime, and since the demise of Dagang Company, the Dutch turned their attention to Lanfang, its subsidiary, and continued to use various excuses to invade the territory of Lanfang Company. In 1879, Lanfang Company, which controlled an area of ​​more than 200,000 square kilometers during the heyday, had only Dongwanlu and Shankouyang land under direct control, and its population was reduced from more than 2 million to 300,000.

From victory to decline, Lan Fang's weakness and even its final demise are inseparable from Liu Asheng's father and son, especially when the Han forces entered the South China Sea. Liu Asheng and his son still did not see the change in the situation. They followed the Dutch faithfully and took the initiative to Taiping. The displayed sincerity of cooperation turned a blind eye. In the last Chinese armed riot led by the Taiping Society, they still obeyed the orders of the Dutch colonists, and took the life of Lan Fang Chinese workers for their father and son.

The father and son of Liu Asheng did not leave a trail for themselves. It was rumored in other parts of Nanyang that Lan Fang offered to belong to the Manchu dynasty, and it was nonsense to accept the protection of the Qing court. In the last thirty years of the rule of Lan Fang In order not to arouse the suspicion of the Dutch, they did not actively seek help from the Manchu court.

The great powers are competing, and the weak can only ensure their own security by relying on the asylum of the big powers. The situation in the South Ocean continues to be chaotic and turbulent. The introduction of Indian military police by the British has prompted the Chinese Capitans to plan their own actions in exchange for the British colonists to retreat. At the same time, they also began to move closer to the court of the Manchu and Qing dynasties. Ye Yalai, Huang Fuyuan, Deng En and other Jia Bidan either took advantage of the enthusiasm of the Han Dynasty and secretly frowned with Taiping, using the information that Taiping would spread throughout the South Ocean, Economic Net, quietly transferred its assets to Songka, South America and the Han country, or spend money to bribe Manchu officials, buy an official hat from the Manchu court, and use the power of the broken ship of the Qing dynasty , To bring a touch of security to themselves, and among many Nanyang Chinese forces, the only one who relied exclusively on foreign colonizers was Liu Asheng's family.

Wu Jin felt that maybe Liu Asheng and his father believed that they held the Dutch's thigh tightly. Even if Lanfang Company died, the Dutch would retain their power and wealth in the light of their loyal and dedicated efforts. But does the Dutch really think so? Wu Jin couldn't guess, and didn't want to think deeply. Anyway, a few years later, after Lan Fang's last military force was in the hands of the Dutch, the outcome was naturally clear.

告诉 "Tell them that Songka welcomes all businessmen's investment, and we will protect their property, please don't worry about it."

I don't get used to the behavior of Liu Asheng's father and son. On the one hand, it is another thing to accept the investment of Lanfang Chinese businessmen. Wu Jin clearly distinguishes between the two.

Song Songka is different from the South American Han country. Songka is small in size, surrounded by powers on all sides, and has limited development space. It can only adopt the method of establishing a commercial country, and then it must support political and military support in the Han country to maintain political independence.

Wu Jin's positioning of Songka and Wu's family is Han Dynasty's immigration transfer station, military, and intelligence base in South America. At the same time, it also plays a role of attracting Chinese businessmen's funds and serving as a temporary shelter for the Nanyang Chinese.

A clear understanding of Song Ka ’s positioning also explains why Wu Jin was able to rationally accept the refuge and asylum of the Lan Fang Chinese business group.

"Father, do you see or not?"

"Forget it, let them come to the city's mansion tomorrow morning. By the way, learn more about the actual situation inside Lanfang, and maybe they can come in handy in the future."

"Yes, father, son, arrange now."

宠 Wu Chong replied, when he turned his head and wanted to leave, he was stopped by his father, "don't go away, I have one thing to explain."

"Father, please."

宠 Wu Chong respectfully said

"You are the son and daughter of Wu. Sooner or later, Songka ’s future inheritance will be handed over to you. Fortunately, the father will be fortunate to associate with Meidong Xingmei of the Nanyang Army. Through the introduction of Lord Mei and Lord Li, your sister will marry His Royal Highness Han King. ,

Your sister's blessing to be able to marry His Royal Highness Han Dynasty is also her blessing.

In another two years, you will be in the next year. From now on, you must learn to deal with Songka's affairs. "

"Father, you are in the heyday of spring and autumn ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ When dealing with government affairs, children will have time and learn slowly, not in a hurry, depending on the children, after another ten or twenty years, the children will talk to you again. It's not too late to learn. "

"Being a father is not a person who is immortal and loves the right stack. After more than ten years, when Songka is stable inside and outside, he will pass the position of the city owner to you. You don't have to worry about other people's gossip."

Wu Jin was more satisfied with his son's performance, and exhorted, "Mr. Mei and General Yang returned to South America at the end of October. At that time, I will send you and your second brother to represent Song Ka to attend the ceremony of the emperor's ascension, the ascension ceremony and your sister's wedding ceremony. After the end, you will stay in South America. I will ask His Royal Highness to ask your King to arrange for your second brother to enter the Army Officer School. You will be admitted to the government of the Han Dynasty and learn to handle government affairs with His Royal Highness. "

"The son obeys the arrangement of the father, but the son is not around, the father takes care of his body."

"My body is tough, you can safely go to South America. When you get there, you must spend more time with your sister. She will marry as far away as South America. I will be more at ease with you to accompany her."

妹妹 "My sister is so cute and pretty. After leaving home for half a year, my sister must miss her father very much. In South America, the baby will tell her to say something to her father."

"Ling Xuan is naive by nature, after marrying His Royal Highness Han King, it is not the same as before, but she must learn to be extra mindful when things happen." .........

When talking about the baby daughter, Wu Jin could not help but give a few words, and after more than ten minutes, when the followers rumored that the Nanyang Army's fleet arrived at the port, the two men ended the conversation.
