Chapter 3: Rise of the Great Power 201 Lan Fangguo 4

As soon as Master Jiang Qi finished speaking, someone shouted at the entrance of Juyi Hall: "Good words!"

Everyone was startled and looked towards the door. They saw Lin Gongze and Xu Ang step into the hall, followed by a group of strong men of big and thick. Lan Fangguo guarded the door with a revolver on each of them.

Xie Guifang couldn't laugh anymore with a round face. He stood up and pointed at Lin Zexu and said, "You are so bold. You dare to make trouble here. Don't think that I, Lan Fangguo, respect you, and you can ride on my Lan Fangren's head and shit. "After saying that he shouted, "Come."

Xie Guifang was full of energy and her shout was shocking, but she just didn't see anyone coming.

At this time, a burst of guns came from outside the house, and the crisp sound of gunfire penetrated the wooden wall and rang loudly inside the house. Soon the outside of the house became peaceful again.

The gunshots made Xie Guifang's face change rapidly, and his voice began to say something out of tune: "How are you brothers who ambushed me in the woods outside?"

Lin Zexu smiled slightly after hearing this, and he clasped his fists and said to everyone in the hall: "Lin is here to accompany you first. You are gathering here today is a family matter, but this is really helpless."

Liu Qianxing didn't wait for Lin Zexu to finish speaking and scolded loudly: "Don't say nonsense. You have interfered. Just tell me what you want.   I'll tell you clearly that even if you are all of us here, you can't leave Pontianak."

Hu Linji just stepped into the house and heard Liu Qianxing's rhetoric, which made him so angry that he was so angry that he was smoking. He immediately stepped forward and cursed: "You are just a gangster. You speak more smelly than the feces in the gutter. You are wearing them..."

Lin Zexu reached out to stop Hu Linji and continued to yell and curse, saying lightly, "We are not here to curse the streets." After saying that, Lin Zexu took two steps forward calmly, and the corner of his eyes showed the expression in the room. It seemed that these people were somewhat blamed for him to control the people around Juyi Hall with force. Lin Zexu felt that it was necessary to explain things clearly. He raised his voice and clasped his fists and said, "Everyone, please look at one person first, and then listen to my official's words."

After saying that, Lin Ze said to Hu Linji: "Please ask Mr. Van der Mead and his translator."

Taking advantage of Hu Linji's time to go out, Lin Zexu said: "You and I are both Han people. This is really for the welfare of our compatriots. Some people here have colluded with foreigners. I want to rely on the Dutch power to become the chief of Lan Fang Kingdom. I think Luo Fangbo's hope to be favored by the court and to do everything possible to interact with the court, which makes the Dutch afraid of the power of the Celestial Empire and dare not humiliate the new Lan Fang Kingdom. But today, the chief of Lan Fang Kingdom will be enthroned by the Dutch and be complacent for getting the title of "Jia Tai", thinking that this will be supported by foreigners. Is this still a backbone Chinese doing? Is such a person qualified to lead the Lan Fang Company?"

Lin Zexu glanced at Xie Guifang when he said this. This guy was already sweating coldly. Lin Zexu continued to say to the bosses of Lanfang Country, "The 100 musketeers ambushed in the forest are all those who are servile and charming to eliminate dissidents. The so-called dissidents are just some people who are willing to get close to the court and the elders of the 6th village. I will never allow such relatives to suffer from pain and the enemy is happy. This is also the reason why I have to take control of these people just now.

At this time, Hu Linji walked in with a tall red foreigner, and an interpreter was following behind him.

This guy was Van der Mead. This guy was having a lot of fun with the indigenous women at that time. He heard a sensation outside the house and quickly got up. As soon as he put on his shorts, he saw a few Chinese guys rushing in. These guys were wearing military uniforms and were agile and powerful. He held him down in a few seconds and was dragged to the outer living room.

When he arrived outside, Van der Mead saw a Chinese official sitting in the living room with steadiness. This man was polite and asked his subordinates to throw his clothes to him.

When Van der Mead was put on his clothes, he heard the man ask the translator to say to him: "This is the Chinese land, why are the Dutch involved in this matter?"

Van der Mede was not a fool, he immediately reacted. The Chinese were helping the Lan Fangguo, who was of the same language and race on the island. The Chinese are obvious to all in Southeast Asia. As early as the 17th century, the Dutch arrived in Southeast Asia, and the Chinese have been here for hundreds of years. He still understands the truth that a hero does not suffer the loss in front of him. Van der Mede pushed everything to the governor of Batavia. He said that he was just an errand runner.

During the conversation, Van der Mead found out the name of the Chinese official, which shocked him. It turned out that this inconspicuous official was actually Lin Zexu, the famous figure in the Opium War.

Before Van der Mead came to Juyi Hall, he had already received Lin Zexu's instructions: he had to tell the locals in the hall that the Dutch no longer interfered in the matter here, and that this was the territory of the Chinese.

After Van der Mead finished these words dejectedly, Xie Guifang in the hall said unexpectedly: "Okay, I, Xie, can be worthy of my ancestors when I can return to the court this time."

Only the stubborn Liu Qianxing left, and behind him, a group of members of the Tiandihui Association quickly walked out of the hall, and before leaving, he even stared at Lin Zexu fiercely.

Seeing Hu Linji's expression a little dissatisfied, Lin Zexu patted Hu Linji on the shoulder and said, "There are all kinds of birds in the forest. Let him go. These people who hold the past all day long will not accomplish any major things."

Xie Guifang smiled and said beside Lin Zexu: "Lin Zhongtang, I have offended many times before. I have just become the chief manager these days, and I am a little too busy to do it and have no time to talk to Lin Zhongtang in detail."

Lin Zexu nodded lightly and said, "It's late tonight, we'll talk tomorrow." After saying that, he greeted Master Jiang Qi and said, "This old man has a loud voice. It seems that he is a martial arts practitioner."

Master Jiang Qi strode forward and clasped his fists and said, "The person who comes is Lin Zexu's great hero who bans smoking."

"Heroes dare not behave, they just do what they should do."

"The Opium War was so good, and the British's hearts were so poisonous that they actually used opium to poison my Chinese people."

Lin Zexu said a little heavy: "Yes, but fortunately, I have a good emperor in China, otherwise I, Lin Zexu, would have no face to meet my fellow villagers."

Luo Liang said in confusion, "Why did Lord Zhongtang say this?"

"Every time when it was late at night, Xu asked himself, if it weren't for what the emperor had expected and had prepared for more than ten years, my Chinese was in danger in the war, and today I, Lin Zexu, wouldn't have stood here to talk to you. As far as I, Lin Zexu knew, other countries that were defeated by the British would open their ports, compensate huge sums of money, and ceded their land. If such a situation occurred, I, Lin Zexu, would have seen my fellow villagers and elders in the future? Let me tell you the truth. If it weren't for the current emperor and the change of another master, even if Lan Fangguo wanted to surrender to the court, the court would not agree."
