Chapter 405 Everything is ready, just waiting for the meeting to fight! (Please order, please vote)
The temperature in Tianjing City was still very hot, so Luo Yaoguo did not have a formal chat with the visiting Feng Yunshan, Luo Outline, and Luo Zhonghua in the Yin'an Hall of the Prince's Palace. Instead, he arranged the meeting place in a building in the back garden of the Prince's Palace.
Inside the Octagonal Pavilion.
The pavilion is located on the edge of a pool of water, leaning against two towering ancient trees. The huge tree crowns block the sun's rays, giving the pavilion below a shade of the pool water.
Luo Yaoguo, Feng Yunshan, Luo Outline and Luo Zhonghua all put on thin light clothes, shook cattail fans, drank herbal tea, sat down in the pavilion, and talked about the customs and customs of Nanyang.
Four or five square tables were placed under the shade of the trees outside the pavilion. The Chinese representatives from all over Southeast Asia who came with Luo Zhonghua, all neatly dressed and wearing hats, sat upright around the square tables, with smiling faces, listening to the first few words.
A big boss is talking loudly.
Luo Yaoguo was obviously very interested in Luo Zhonghua, who was supported by Luo Outline. He kept asking him about the history and current situation of the Lanfang Republic and other small Chinese countries in Nanyang - well, the history of the founding of the Nanyang Chinese nation! It will take more than a hundred years.
We will be able to tackle a big topic in the future!
But at this time, it means even more!
Because now is "since ancient times", we should work hard and strive to change the "History of Nanyang Chinese" from foreign history to local history.
And this young man named Luo Zhonghua is also very talkative. He talks eloquently about the small Chinese companies in Borneo and the Southeast Asian islands.
The Lanfang Republic of which he serves as president is not the only Chinese country in Nanyang at the moment, but the largest and most powerful one. But even for Lanfang, calling it a "country" is a bit reluctant. It is more like the Chinese version.
The East India Company, or an alliance of Chinese gangs that pioneered Southeast Asia.
The Chinese gangs in Borneo may have been influenced by the Dutch East India Company, and they all named their gangs after "such and such company".
And Lanfang Company was established by a group of fellows from Jiaying Prefecture headed by Luo Fangbo. Luo Dayou and Luo Yaoguo were really the same clan as Luo Fangbo!
It's just that Luo Yaoguo can't recognize them now...·:.\n. After all, he comes from Meizhou City, Guangdong Province, in the sky, not Jiaying Prefecture in the world.
Luo Fangbo and his fellow Hakkas from Jiaying Prefecture were the most united among the Chinese companies in Borneo, and they were also the most able to fight! So they subdued more than a dozen of the surrounding gang members, and then subjugated them one by one to form a
The Lanfang General Administration has jurisdiction over Dagang, Santiaogou, Xinwu, Kengwei, and Shifeng
, 16 points, Manhe, 9 points, new 8 points, old 8 points, new 14 points, old 14 points and other "tangkou". The territory starts from Sarawak in the north, looks towards Java Island in the south, and faces Java in the west.
It faces the Strait of Malacca across the sea. It shelters a Chinese population of two to three million, which can be said to be a great situation!
And this Lanfang State is not the only Chinese country in Southeast Asia today. In addition to Lanfang, there is also the Daiyan Kingdom on the island of Borneo, which is a small kingdom attached to Lanfang. The surname of the king is Wu.
A "general" from Lanfang Kingdom, which still exists today.
There is also the "Wu Kingdom" in the central part of the Malay Peninsula. It has no official country name and was established by a group of Hokkien people. The surname of the country's leader is Wu.
It is called "Wu Family" or Wu Kingdom by outsiders. This Wu Kingdom was established at almost the same time as Lanfang, and it has not yet perished.
In addition to these three countries, there were more than a dozen other "countries" or gang regimes that appeared on the Nanyang Islands, but now most of them have been wiped out by the Dutch and British.
"There are three more countries, that's a lot...\n.\n" Luo Yaoguo asked Luo Gang with a smile, "Bishop Luo, have the Wu family members from Rome come to the peninsula? Can we help Lan
Fang, Dai Yan, and the Wu family form a big country or a joint company to compete with the Dutch?"
Luo Zhonghua was surprised when he heard what Luo Yaoguo said: "Your Highness King Wu, do you mean that we will continue to fight against the Dutch? Although the Netherlands is not as prosperous as it used to be, it is still a great power. And the United Kingdom
People often support the Dutch!"
Luo Yaoguo smiled: "President Luo, you don't know something. The British and French ministers in China will go to Tianjing tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to observe our National People's Congress.
After the National People's Congress is over, we will discuss with Britain and France about forming an alliance and joining the war against Russia...\n. Although Britain and France may not always abide by the agreement, at least until the war with Russia is over
, they will not attack their allies.
For Lan Fang, Dai Yan, and the Wu family, this opportunity is rare!"
Luo Gangyuan hurriedly took over the conversation, nodded and said: "President, don't worry about not being able to defeat the Dutch. Haven't we fought against the Dutch before? But that's it...:..What is the new army of our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?"
You should have seen this in Shanghai too. They are all the same.
The new Western-style army was trained by French generals with the help of us! The foreign guns in our hands were all purchased from England, France, and the United States! When the time comes, King Wu will send you one or two thousand men, plus we are in Nanyang
With our new army, it’s no problem to capture the entire Borneo!”
"Can we really take over the entire Borneo?"
Luo Zhonghua looked at Luo Yaoguo in disbelief.
"Of course!" Luo Yaoguo nodded heavily, "What's not possible? The Netherlands, a small European country with a population of just a few million, dares to occupy so many islands in Southeast Asia. I am determined to fight against China. With 400 million compatriots, I still dare not eat a small country.
Borneo?"
"President Luo...:" Luo Yaoguo looked at the representatives of the Nanyang people outside the pavilion and said with a smile: "If you really have the ambition to open up the entire island of Borneo, prepare a proposal for the Lanfang Republic to submit to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
, you can raise it at the National Assembly! Once the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is established, I can discuss with the British Minister Bonham and the French Minister Bourblon about the division of spheres of influence in Southeast Asia."
Divide the Nanyang sphere of influence?
Is it really possible?
Most of the representatives of the Nanyang people outside the pavilion are white paper fans in various halls under the Lanfang Republic. They often deal with foreigners, and they have a very deep understanding of the power of foreigners!
They also all know that the Netherlands is actually in decline, while Britain and France are at their peak!
More than ten years ago, the Qing Dynasty was forced to cede territory and pay indemnity by an expeditionary force of more than 10,000 people sent by the British country:
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has just begun. Even if it can build a United States, it is still far behind the United States. Even the United States is still the "big follower" of Britain and France? What's more, the United States is always the country of their white people, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom does not seem to be with them.
In the circle?
While the representatives of the Nanyang people were making calculations, they heard a sweet voice coming from the path behind them: "Your Highness, the British Minister Bonham, the French Minister Bourblon, and my uncle Bishop Paul's Taiping
The steamer ' will arrive at Shimonoseki Pier at noon today. Do you want to go and greet them?
one,
Everyone looked around and saw a tall, slender Western beauty with picturesque features and white skin, wearing a Chinese-style jacket and skirt, walking lightly. She was next to Luo Yaoguo in a blink of an eye, and then gave a blessing ceremony with a smile.
Feng Yunshan recognized the person as "junior sister" Maria at a glance. He saw Maria looking at Luo Yaoguo affectionately, and then turned to look at Luo Yaoguo, who also looked at Maria with affection in his eyes.
Obviously, Luo Yaoguo is an angel who is saddened by a beauty this time!
"Ninth brother, this is...:.:" Feng Yunshan pretended not to know Maria and asked Luo Yaoguo with a smile.
"She said that Maria de Clementina Doria is the niece of Archbishop Paul Doria, who was sent to me by the Roman Catholic Church!" Luo Yaoguo said proudly.
Maria added: "I was sent by Pope Pius IX to serve His Royal Highness the Angel!"
Your Highness the Angel?
Oh, by the way, King Luo Wu of Luo Yao Kingdom is also a master of dancing... What happened? Did the Pope of Rome believe it?
A group of Nanyang representatives outside the pavilion were all shocked and began to re-evaluate the influence of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom on foreigners...
This master can dance well and has fighting ability!
Luo Yaoguo waved to Maria: "Maria, come here, let me introduce you. This is my third brother Feng, His Royal Highness the Southern King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Maria smiled and stepped forward a few steps to kneel down and kowtow to Feng Yunshan.
Feng Yunshan quickly stretched out his hand to help Maria, and the latter took the opportunity to wink at Feng Yunshan.
