Mr. Li walked out of the hall with his daughters and went to the gate to greet them.
The moment he saw Yang Jianhou, Li Wangdao's eyes flashed with surprise. The reason was that the person who came was a young man in his early twenties. How could such a young man be reliable? For a moment, Mr. Li Wangdao began to beat his heart. However, after all, he had grown old and refined, so he did not reveal his inner thoughts at all. He walked up to him with a smile, bowed and said, "The envoy from the Celestial Empire is here to visit me. I'm sorry that I missed my welcome. Please forgive me, the envoy."
In a word, be respectful and humble.
Yang Jianhou did not interrupt Li Wangdao's words. He waited for Li Wangdao to finish speaking before reaching out to support Li Wangdao.
He supported Wang Xiao, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li took the initiative to greet me, and he has already embarrassed this junior. I am so ashamed of myself. What a blessing it is to meet my fellow villagers in a foreign country. Mr. Li, this junior came without telling me. I'm so embarrassed." "That's it." His words were neither humble nor arrogant, and Yang Jianhou took the initiative to lower himself to the status of a junior and did not use his power to oppress others, which also made Li Wangdao feel good about him.
At least, the impression of being young and unreliable has been eliminated a lot, and it is no longer the first impression.
Li Wangdao was in a happy mood, waved his hand and said: "Envoy, please."
"Master, please go first." Yang Jianhou waved his hand and said.
Li Wangdao rolled his eyes and glanced at Yang Jianhou. After confirming that Yang Jianhou was sincere, he stopped refusing and nodded and said, "That's alright. I'll rely on my old age for a while. Master Yang, please."
After that, he walked ahead with a dragon-head crutch.
Yang Jianhou, Chen Jun followed closely, then Li Wangdao's sons and daughters, and finally a group of soldiers brought by Yang Jianhou. After the group entered the mansion, Yang Jianhou looked at the settings in the mansion, and his eyes were opened even more, because inside the Li mansion The fortifications are extremely complicated, with one ring after another, layer upon layer, which protects Li's Mansion impregnably. After seeing the buildings inside Li's Mansion, Yang Jianhou felt that the trip was worth it. A glimpse of the leopard can be enough to see what the Li family is hiding. strength.
The group of people came to the hall, and the guests and hosts took their seats.
Li Wangdao put the dragon-head crutch aside, smiled slightly, and said, "Master Yang, what can I teach you when you come to Li's house?"
Yang Jianhou shook his head and said: "Don't take the advice seriously. This junior is here to ask the old man for advice."
"Little Fox."
Li Wangdao was amused in his heart and would never believe in asking for advice.
Li Wangdao said loudly: "It doesn't matter, Mr. Yang. As long as I can do my best, I will do my best." Li Wangdao was also quite satisfied with Yang Jianhou. From the few conversations just now, it can be seen that the young man in front of him is not a newcomer. Although Chu'er is young, he doesn't have the arrogance and impetuousness of young people. Instead, he is calm and elegant, neither humble nor arrogant, which is quite impressive.
This alone gave Li Wangdao a great understanding of Chinese officials.
In the old man's heart, he still wanted to meet Li Zhen, so that his life would be worthwhile. Everyone has his own rural concept, especially an old man like Li Wangdao, whose rural concept is deeply rooted. As he gets older, Naturally, he wanted to return to his roots. It turned out that he did not return to China because of the unrest in the country. Now that China is developing stably and has great prestige, Li Wangdao naturally had the idea of returning to China.
It was Li Wangdao who sent Li Yurong back to the country to attack the front line.
Take a look in advance before making a decision.
Yang Jianhou thought for a while and then said in deep thought: "I have just arrived, so many things have not been clarified, and many of them have not had time to be announced. I can tell the old man in advance that before this, the Netherlands had sent troops to jointly attack Hong Kong with other countries, and was finally defeated. As a result, As compensation to China, the Netherlands unconditionally transferred the East Indies to China. The President has included the East Indies into China and named it the East India Province, and I served as the first governor."
"really."
Wang Li stood up abruptly, with an incredible expression on his old face.
He never knew this news.
Yang Jianhou said with certainty: "Of course this is true, otherwise why would I lead my troops south."
"Okay, okay, this is the land of the king in the whole world."
Li Wangdao nodded repeatedly and smiled in his heart.
Some time ago, the Dutch troops stationed on Java Island kept withdrawing, which made Li Wangdao feel strange, but he couldn't figure out the reason. Now with the news from Yang Jianhou, Li Wangdao finally understood the reason for the Dutch withdrawal. Everything can be explained about the compensation for the Dutch defeat. Li Wangdao's expression was serious and serious, with endless joy in his eyes, and he was excited about China's victory.
Yang Jianhou took Li Wangdao's happiness into his heart and said: "Although the Netherlands ostensibly transferred the entire East Indies, they secretly left countless obstacles to stop us. Moreover, I came to Java Island and was unfamiliar with the place. If you are not familiar with the situation, it is like a tiger facing a hedgehog, it is difficult to take action. The old man has been in Java Island for many years and is familiar with the situation on the island. If you have the help of the old man, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
Li Wangdao frowned slightly and his expression became serious.
There are advantages and disadvantages to surrendering to the country.
Once they surrender, the Li family's accumulation of so many private soldiers will become a problem.
Li Wangdao's mind changed quickly and he considered the question raised by Yang Jianhou.
Chen Jun looked calm and said: "Mr. Li, I completely agree with what you just said. Is there anything in the world that belongs to the royal family? Mr. Li built fortifications at home to ensure the safety of the Li family. This is based on the Li family. It’s understandable to think about the future, but after Java Island becomes China’s territory, the Chinese military will unconditionally guarantee the safety of the Li family, so please rest assured, old man.”
After Li Wangdao heard this, he said nothing.
Chen Jun continued: "If the old man is worried about the death of the cunning rabbit and the lackluster cooking, please rest assured. Until now, such a thing has never happened in the country. You must have learned about the domestic situation through various channels. In order to avoid the emergence of a fatuous emperor, the president is willing to adopt the American federal system, weaken his own rights, and form a presidential system. This is an enlightened country. You don't have to worry about the development of the Li family. As long as the Li family has many talented people, then it will surely last for a long time. continue to prosper.”
"Hahaha……"
Li Wangdao laughed loudly and said, "What a sharp-tongued person."
Chen Jun smiled and said: "Thank you, old man."
Li Wangdao pointed at Chen Jun and asked, "Who is this?"
Yang Jianhou immediately introduced: "Old man, this is the person who is assisting me. His name is Chen Jun. You can regard him as the deputy governor."
Li Wangdao nodded, his deep eyes flashing with light.
"Report,."
At this moment, a loud voice came from outside, and a warrior in black walked in, saluted respectfully towards Li Wangdao, and said loudly: "Report to the family master that Su Kenuo is visiting."
"Sucono."
Li Wangdao raised his eyebrows, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Sucono's visit at this critical time is not a good sign.
Yang Jianhou was full of doubts and turned to Chen Jun.
Chen Jun also frowned and replied in a low voice: "Sukono is a local nobleman on Java Island and a force on the island. However, he strongly rejects foreign forces. Not only does he have no good opinion of the Netherlands, but he also has a bad opinion of us. Sukono also has a bad attitude towards the major Chinese families on the island, so he may have other motives for visiting the Li family this time."
Yang Jianhou snorted and waited for Li Wangdao to make a decision.
