Under the protection of soldiers, Li Zhen, Qi Zhenhai and their group headed towards the government building in Guangzhou.
After arriving, the group quickly settled down.
The first thing Li Zhen did was to find a house for Ding Ruchang and settle Ding Ruchang's daughter. Then he arranged things for Ding Ruchang and asked Ding Ruchang to explore the situation in the Pearl River Delta region. If the Pearl River Delta region is to be designated as an industrial base, it must be done. Industrial construction is not a trivial matter and involves all aspects. Just the resettlement of local people is a big issue.
In this era, the concept of rurality is serious, and most people pay attention to returning to their roots. It is not a simple matter to plan the Pearl River Delta area as an industrial area. In other words, Ding Ruchang has a very heavy task and will face a lot of problems. However, this can be regarded as a test that Li Zhen gave Ding Ruchang. If he is not qualified for this task, then Li Zhen really doesn't know how to deal with this famous admiral of the Beiyang Navy in history.
After arranging for Ding Ruchang, Li Zhencai summoned Wang Xiaoyang, the governor of Guangdong Province, to discuss with Hu Linyi and Wang Xiaoyang the demarcation of the Pearl River Delta region. The opinion of Wang Xiaoyang, the governor of Guangdong Province, must be sought on this matter.
…
East Indies, India, Indonesia and Asia.
Java Island, Batavia (now Jakarta).
Batavia is the capital of Indonesia and the political and economic center of Java Island. Previously, Java Island had been controlled by the Netherlands. Yang Jianhou was ordered to lead a division of troops southward into Batavia. The Dutch troops had withdrawn, but , this is indeed a superficial phenomenon, it seems that the Dutch army has withdrawn, but after Yang Jianhou carefully inquired, he found that the Dutch army secretly still controlled Batavia, controlled Java Island, and controlled the situation in Indonesia.
Yang Jianhou still had great difficulties if he wanted to gain a foothold in Batavia.
Chinese military camp, garrison.
Yang Jianhou browsed the recent news. After reading it, he threw away the letter in his hand, slapped it on the desk, and said angrily: "The people on the island are willing to accept the instructions of the Dutch and do not accept my instructions." Order, good, very good."
"Here comes someone."
With a loud shout, a soldier walked in quickly.
Yang Jianhou ordered: "Assemble the soldiers. Since the people on the island want to die, I will help them."
"As commanded."
The soldier received the order and turned around to deliver the order.
call,.
The tent door curtain was raised, and an elegant man in military uniform walked in. He stopped the soldiers and shouted: "Wait a moment." The soldiers stopped, and the elegant man came to Yang Jianhou and said humbly: "You are the ruler of the East Indies. Or, according to the current treaty, the East Indies is already a province of China, and according to the order of the President, you are already the governor of the East Indies Province. If you order the massacre, then you will lose the hearts of the indigenous people, and it will be difficult to do so. Conquer these people."
Marquis Yang Jian said angrily: "But the people don't listen to orders at all."
The elegant man continued: "It is normal not to obey orders. The local people cannot believe us immediately. If we take tough measures like the Netherlands before, we will fight against the indigenous people on the island for a long time. Governor, the army is not killing people." Weapons are the power of deterrence. Our military is used to deter. Attacking the heart is the most fundamental. Only by solving all problems once and for all can we complete the tasks assigned by the president. Just imagine, if we really have to use force, the military will There are so many generals, anyone can do it, why did you come to the East Indies? Because the governor has been practicing for many years and has rich experience, and the president also recognized the governor's ability, so he let you come here."
"Sir, what should I do?"
Yang Jianhou waved his hand towards the soldiers and asked.
The person who advised Yang Jianhou was named Chen Jun. He was a subordinate of Yang Jianhou, but he was more of a staff officer.
Chen Jun smiled slightly and said: "If you want to gain a foothold on the island and further integrate, the governor must win over a group of people and have a good relationship with some of them. With enough influence, he can gradually give the people on the island The benefits will definitely bring back the hearts of all people."
"Who to win over?" Yang Jianhou asked.
Chen Jun sat down and replied unhurriedly: "There are many Chinese on the island, and they also have a strong influence. There is a saying in Batavia that goes like this, 'There is a section to the east, and a section to the west. Zhou, a Zhao in the south is not as good as a Li in the north. Among them, Duan, Zhou, Zhao and Li are the four big families on the island, with the Li family being the largest. Although the Duan, Zhou and Zhao families are not as good as the Li family, the others But its strength should not be underestimated. In addition to the four major families, there are also other major families in the surrounding areas, which constitute the power of the Chinese people on the island."
"So powerful." Yang Jianhou frowned.
Chen Jun nodded and said in a deep voice: "These big families usually don't show off their integrity, but with their influence and power, they are enough to change the pattern of the island. If the governor wants to gain a foothold, he must first capture this group of people. It is necessary. To this end, please ask the governor to pay a visit to the head of the Li family first."
Yang Jianhou nodded and said: "I listen to you, don't use force for the time being, prepare to pay your respects, we will go today."
"yes,."
Chen Jun was overjoyed and happy for Yang Jianhou's good deeds.
Once Yang Jianhou insists on going his own way, things will be very difficult to handle, and even Yang Jianhou's army will be isolated. But as long as Yang Jianhou works steadily and goes step by step, he will definitely be able to capture the East Indies beautifully. In half an hour, Chen Jun prepared a greeting card, and Yang Jianhou and Chen Jun left the military camp together, leading a group of soldiers towards the mansion where the Li family was located.
The Li family is very large, covering an area of over a thousand acres.
There are also watchtowers and fortifications at the gate, specially designed to protect the safety of the Li family.
Obviously, the Li family has its own family power.
Judging from this, the power of the major families on the island must be an extremely powerful force. Yang Jianhou came to the gate of the Li family and saw the situation at the gate and the soldiers on the tower. He repeatedly praised: " This is no longer a mansion, but a fortress. The power of the Li family cannot be underestimated. Chen Jun, your suggestion is right. If you can get the support of the Li family, things will definitely be much easier to handle."
Chen Jun smiled and said: "The governor is wise."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Chen Jun immediately sent someone to deliver the greeting card.
After receiving the invitation, the garrisoned warrior quickly entered the house to report the news.
In the house, in the hall.
A bright-headed old man wearing a black robe sat above. He had gray hair and dense wrinkles on his face, but he was energetic and looked very energetic. Below the old man, there were several middle-aged men and women sitting on the left and right sides. This old man It was Li Wangdao who was the helmsman of the Li family. Wangdao means respecting the king and respecting the way. After reading the invitation, he grabbed the dragon-headed walking stick next to him and said loudly: "When the envoys of the Celestial Empire come to visit, you must not lose your courtesy. Follow me to greet him." ."
Most of the people in the hall were the children of Li Wangdao.
Li Wangdao walked out steadily, and they followed him towards the outside.
