Xinshun 1730

Chapter 577

"Your Imperial Envoy underestimated me!"

"Although I am a husband, I also know that promises are as good as gold. I have made an appointment with my brothers to conspire with big things, but before the incident happened, I ran away for my own future. Pigs and dogs are not as good as pigs and dogs. Even a group of dogs fight, and I have never seen a dog fight because of it." One bone of the master deserts the brother behind him."

Liu Yu thought in his heart that I didn't underestimate you, your tricks are too deceptive, if you are taken away and disintegrated, when Lao Tzu comes back to Nanyang, all Bangka members will become Catholics.

It's a pity that there is nothing better to come up with to seize the leadership right now. Rulin's rhetoric has no influence at the bottom, especially the precarious miners.

It's not even as good as the one in the old port next door to comfort Sixin, which can declare the old ruler a heresy because of the hadith such as opposing corruption.

The difficulty and key point of Dashun's journey to Nanyang is not to win.Winning is like an adult or a child. There is nothing to sing or cry about, and there is nothing to raise your arms. The Dutch can't gather many soldiers at all.

The difficulty lies in how to rule after winning.

Other places are fine, the imperial court can keep the old system and keep the tribute system.

But Bangka is an important place for the future army town. If Catholicism becomes a thing, then there is no need to think about it. The court will never tolerate it. The slaughter of tens of thousands of people is just a routine operation for the court.

It’s the same for everyone, but for Datang, at the critical stage of confrontation with the black food, if Kucha in the four towns becomes green overnight, will Datang clean up and emigrate?Or will you think of "the miners' uprising, organized by foreign religions, it is really helpless, and I am also a child", and just let it go?
They are all like birds.

Liu Yu looked at Cai Shiwu, shook his head, and sighed, thinking that even if you hold a small banner of Confucianism, even if you hold the Mingjiao Bailianhui Party, the court might be able to do it based on what I say in the court. accommodate.

"You are a good man, but it is because you are a good man that I will take you away. Let you come back in two or three years, and I will have my own explanation at that time."

"I guess you are thinking about contacting Holland after the uprising is successful. You want to pay Holland a poll tax, reduce the price of tin nuggets, and ensure that Holland buys tin nuggets exclusively, so as to obtain the protection of Holland, right?"

"If you didn't even think of this step, then you guys are a bunch of fools, and you can't do anything."

The corner of Cai Shiwu's mouth twitched unnaturally. He had kept his mouth shut about such confidential matters just now, and he really didn't mention a word.

But what Liu Yu said seemed to have heard the words of their conspiracy. Cai Shiwu even suspected that there were court eagles and dogs inside to inform?

The believer scholar who was expelled from his fame did indeed say so. He believed that the surrounding situation was complicated, and Banga had to sell mines to survive. There were many people who wanted to buy mines, but the most powerful one was the Netherlands.

The Netherlands must also want to control the tin mines in Banga, so if it wants to succeed, it must be attached to the Netherlands.

As long as the Netherlands supports their self-reliance, they can recognize the rule of the Netherlands and pay Batavia a poll tax.In this way, things can be done.

Liu Yu glanced at Cai Shiwu, who was silent, and sneered.

"Then you've found the right man. Holland? Hey..."

Cai Shiwu, who had kept his mouth shut and didn't want to speak, was completely irritated by this sentence, and sneered, "If you're not looking for Holland, who are you looking for?"

"I'm waiting for Xiaomin. When I was in Zhongtu, the imperial court didn't care. Could it be that the imperial court changed their nature when we arrived in Nanyang? Did you care?"

"As long as they can survive, who is willing to leave their hometown and come to this Nanyang mine to beg for food?"

There was grief and indignation in the words, but he was not disappointed, because he had never hoped for it.

After hearing this, Liu Yu didn't feel annoyed. He thought that there was nothing he could do about it. If he relied on official immigration, Dashun's grassroots organization ability and faith cohesion, Nanyang official immigration would be a disaster.

We can only use this method similar to the "enclosure movement". Britain is forcing farmers to work in factories, while Dashun is forcing people to go to Nanyang.

Although it was not done actively, but due to the scarcity of land and the rapid increase in population in Fujian and Guangdong, the number of such non-active actions is far better than the active enclosure movement.

Since the imperial court wanted to go to Nanyang, it was impossible to give the initiative to the Catholic Church in the matter of Bangka.

Liu Yu admired their courage to fight, and also understood that everything they did was just in his three views, even if it was covered with a religious cloak, the flaws were still not concealed.

But, no.

The things they imagined can be given and bestowed by the court.

But they cannot be allowed to take the initiative to win them under the guise of Catholicism.Absolutely not.

In history, after the Anglo-Dutch War, the British briefly controlled Bangka. Liu Yu was most convinced and believed that the British "Li Fanyuan" came to the conclusion after inspecting Bangka: the multiple exploitation of the mine owners made the Chinese miners The willingness to work is minimal, seriously affecting the output of the Bangka tin mine.

So he bought out the debts of all Chinese miners with money from the mine owners in Banga, took Banga as a direct jurisdiction, kicked out the middlemen who contracted the mine, and formed a company with Chinese miners as the main body. They organize themselves and are responsible for their own profits and losses.

There is no middleman to make the difference, which greatly improves the labor enthusiasm of miners in a short period of time.

Although the essence of monopoly remains unchanged, the East India Company still controls the price of tin and earns excess profits.But for those miners, the vertical comparison is indeed better than before.

Although, this reform, just like the British land reform in Batavia, ultimately has to consider profits, which has become a joke and paralysis.

However, this provides an idea for how to govern Dashun after going to Nanyang.

Later generations often say that if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid to travel all over the world.

But the situation that Dashun is facing now is the strange lack of "arts students", especially the lack of excellent liberal arts students who can be compared with the British "Lifan Academy" - archaeology, linguistics, social sciences, history, etc. .

This is the necessary talent to continue to be the "celestial dynasty".

When Britain was the "Celestial Dynasty", its "Li Fanyuan" was of a very high level, and its humanities and social sciences were of a very high level, so it was possible to conduct social surveys in Java and point out Java's agricultural and class problems; through archaeology, psychology, , sociology, and history, divide and rule the "vassals", divide contradictions, create contradictions, and even artificially create nations.

Science has nothing to do with morality. Morally, it can be reversed.

Dashun has no shortage of science students now, and the level of science and engineering in the world is the same at this time. Except for the lack of particularly sophisticated high-tech technology such as navigation clocks, Dashun lacks, and the rest can basically catch up with those of other countries. pace.

Especially after Liu Yu made a new start, Dashun is really not bad in subjects other than advanced mathematics and mechanical processing.After all, other disciplines are just starting now.

Dashun also has "literary students", but it is still far behind the "literature" students.

There is also the Li government and the "Li Fan Yuan", but just because they manage Ryukyu can make Ryukyu's harmony and learning destroy the level of Sinology, expect them to manage Nanyang?

Then it's better not to go to Nanyang directly, save money and avoid the world's money and food.

Otherwise, a large number of Chinese rebels who are alienated from China will definitely be controlled.

If you want to be a dynasty, not a powerful China, you must make up for the shortcomings of liberal arts students.If there is no way to make up for the time being, then copy directly.

China is a country, and the Celestial Dynasty is a political concept. The two are like black and white and right and wrong, they are different attributes.

In this case, stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. Think about some of the British colonial techniques, how to divide and conquer, and how to cultivate a group of pro-British factions. Some methods can still be used.

The rule of Banga is focused on these miners, not those mine owners who are attached to the old port sultan.

It is entirely possible to borrow the means of the United Kingdom, and the imperial court "gives" the miners a way to set up their own companies and support them with loans from the imperial court.

But now, the utopian promise of the Catholic Church is about to take away the foundation of Dashun's future rule in Banga, which Liu Yu cannot accept anyway.

Once these people succeed, they don't even know that everything is because of their own resistance, but they will think that this is a gift from God, and Catholicism has taken root in the Banga miners.

Now that Cai Shiwu does not enter, it is impossible to say some things now, and it is even more impossible to tell Cai Shiwu that the imperial court will go to Nanyang in the future. No matter how patient you are, when the imperial court comes, your living conditions will be improved—and Not to mention these secrets can't be revealed now, even if it is said, this group of people who have no trust in the court will not believe it.

People are not stupid, they will only believe it when they see the court doing it.Before doing it, if you talk about breaking the sky, just rely on the image established for the court by the grassroots bureaucrats of the court, and no one will believe it.

Glancing at Cai Shiwu again, Liu Yu gritted his teeth and shouted: "Send the order, assemble the team, all the marines are assembled at the mine. The cannons are set up, ready to arrest people according to the list!"

Cai Shiwu suddenly burst into anger, and said angrily: "The imperial envoy's words don't count! You said that the two are not helping each other!"

Liu Yu said: "I just don't help each other. If I want to help them, why bother?"

After finishing speaking, the people tied up Cai Shiwu and gagged Cai Shiwu's mouth.

Until the troops assembled near the mines, Liu Yu also showed his fangs, took the list provided by the mine owner, and led the troops directly into the mines to arrest people.

After nearly thirty "troublemakers" were caught, the angry miners, under the pressure of cannons and bayonets, had reached a critical point of anger.

But most of the miners are not local Peranakans, but come from Dashun to Nanyang.

The power of the imperial court in their hearts is still there, looking at the banner of the imperial envoys, after all, they are just making noise outside.

If there is no fear accumulated over thousands of years, if someone else's banner is changed, the fight will have started long ago.

With no leader in the group, these miners belonged to various mines and different mining groups, and the leaders were all arrested. At this time, they were really unable to make too much action.

The two sides confronted each other, and the miners were not too afraid of the bayonets of the Marine Corps, but more afraid of the banner of the imperial envoy.

In the chaos, the Marine Corps suppressed the situation, and a message came from behind to keep everyone quiet, and the imperial envoy will come out and give an explanation later.

The miners sat down and waited quietly.

In the room, there were both heroes and cowards. Under coercion and temptation, someone soon confessed who Liu Yu was really looking for.

He was young, 25 and [-] years old, and was about to ask, but he didn't want the other party to call out "Ying Sabo" with a Songjiang accent.
