Xinshun 1730

Chapter 725 Killing Heart

Lian Fuguang's guess is not unreasonable.

On the side, this can be regarded as confidence in the imperial court.

He had seen the imperial guards and warships of the imperial court. If the imperial court were to go to Nanyang, Batavia would not need any internal support at all.

Moreover, a person like him is only rich, and has no foundation in the court at all.It's really not bad to say that these people are big fat sheep.

Sheep can be slaughtered, but useful dogs are generally not slaughtered.

Why did the court give him a chance to transform from a big fat sheep into a dog?
It doesn't make sense.

In just a short moment, my heart turned a thousand times, and I don't know how many thoughts I have turned.

On the one hand, he was worried that Wang Wu was a mud leg in the mountains, so he came here to deceive him.

On the other hand, there are also fears that this is true.

What if it is really a high-ranking member of the imperial court who is out of his mind and does not slaughter his big fat sheep, or it is really for the sake of his younger brother, if he is ignorant of current affairs, then he will miss such a good opportunity. Here's the chance.

Although his younger brother was at the side, he didn't really believe what his younger brother said.

He felt that his younger brother might also follow him to fool him. At the beginning, because he reported on Lian Huaiguan, his younger brother looked down on him.

Let's not talk about destroying relatives in righteousness, at least it is cheating relatives in righteousness, probably this younger brother who is not very good at thinking can do it.As long as the brain is a little bit better, how can it be the top Chinese in Batavia, but care about the slave labor in those sugar factories?
During the struggle, there was not as much fear as before. The dry mouth gradually became more saliva, and the sore legs gradually gained strength.

If the person in front of him was really sent by the imperial court, then as long as he agreed, he would be dedicating the city anyway.I should be fine.

If this person in front of him is not sent by the imperial court, but is a mud leg in the mountains, then why should I be afraid of him?

Thinking of this, he asked with sharp words at the beginning: "But I don't know which adult the imperial court sent to Nanyang? Where is the imperial court's army now?"

A mass of annoyance suddenly rose from Wang Wu's heart, and he also heard Lian Fuguang's doubts, and he felt very impatient.

Xindao's fucking father wanted to kill you all, but Jinghou insisted on me, and he said a lot of reasons.Some principles are related to the future policies of the DPRK and China, and I don't understand them, but I can only follow them.

Don't you know where you are right now?Is it true that without you, this Batavia cannot be defeated?

It would be better without you, take Batavia, you taxpayers, Kapitan Lei Zhenlan, one by one, all ransacked their homes, not to mention that the military expenses for going to Nanyang are for the navy to repurchase Three or five battleships are enough!
He didn't know that apart from the debate about whether there was a dispute in the court that "after going to sea, you will abandon yourself as a king and forget who you are", there is another matter that Liu Yu is very concerned about.

During the Hongxi tragedy in history, the Chinese in the city stayed at home obediently when the Chinese outside the city attacked the city.Jiapidan Lei Zhenlan reported it early, and the Chinese in the city listened to the sound of the siege outside the city and remained motionless until the massacre came after the withdrawal of the rebel army outside the city.

Liu Yu hoped that these people in the city would make a little move this time.Even if they set fire to the city when the imperial army had besieged Batavia and saw that the army was about to break through the city, it would be fine anyway.

I didn't expect them to give charcoal in a timely manner, and the icing on the cake was not even used, but I couldn't even stand in the building and not run while watching the building collapse.

Of course, Wang Wu couldn't understand Liu Yu's mood, and he couldn't deeply understand Liu Yu's attitude towards the court.Feeling the repetition of Lian Fuguang's attitude, even though Wang Wu had known for a long time that such a grand event as eating pots of rice would be impossible, he still felt the killing intent in his heart gradually rising.

He snorted at Lian Fuguang, but did not answer Lian Fuguang's question, but turned his head and said to Lian Jieguang who was beside him: "Jieguang, benevolence is exhausted. Your kindness, Lianhuaiguan's kindness, are worthless. Hou gave it all. But your brother is still obsessed with his obsession, it seems that we insist on him dedicating the city."

"Forget it, the matter has come to an end, let him think it through himself."

Lian Jie's face blushed, not only embarrassed, but also worried.However, Wang Wu's meaning has already been made clear, don't talk too much, it is inconvenient for him to say anything more at this time.

It's really rushing, not business, when Wang Wu said this, Lian Fuguang became nervous again.

Without Xin Dao's own help, those people in the mountains might not be able to capture Batavia.But this person didn't continue to convince himself, but he didn't seem to care. Could it be that what this person said was true?

"My lord, please stay."

"It's not that villains don't trust adults, and it's not that villains don't want to contribute to the court. Villains admire Guan Gong the most. If they have the opportunity to be in Cao Ying and their hearts are in Han, they will be willing to serve."

"It's just...it's just that if the connection is an internal response, you need to know when to make a move and when to make an action outside the city. The villain just wants to ask clearly."

It would be fine if he didn't say this, but once he said this, it made several people around Wang Wu feel disgusted.Xindao, what do you deserve to say that you are in Cao Ying and your heart is in Han?Really humiliated Master Guan.

Wang Wu put the overall situation first, held back his anger, and said with a sneer, "If you really want to, when will you not? There are thousands of Chinese in the city, and you have many confidantes in your manor."

"The main force of the Dutch is out of the city, and there are not many Dutch in the city."

"Besides, the Chinese community is all gathered in one place, and the south of the city is all Chinese. If you really want to, don't talk about capturing Batavia, but only occupy the Chinese community to guard against the Dutch, can you do it?"

While talking, the door suddenly opened.The moment the door opened, the people around Wang Wu pulled out the short guns at their waists. The speed was so fast that even Fuguang had never seen many desperadoes in Batavia.

It was Lian Fuguang's confidant who pushed the door and entered.After Lian Fuguang explained, Wang Wu and others put down their guns, and the confidant family whispered in Lian Fuguang's ear: "My lord, the acting city lord who stayed behind told you to summon Lei Zhenlan and others to the governor's mansion together. There is something urgent."

Lian Fuguang nodded, motioning for the old family to leave first.

After the door was closed again, he told Wang Wu this.

"Lord Wang, just now the Dutch came to send a message, asking me to summon Lei Zhenlan to go to the Governor's Mansion to discuss matters. My lords, please rest here for a while, and let's talk about this matter when I come back. How about it? I also happened to test the Dutch False."

Wang Wu laughed and said, "I also understand what you're thinking. You think something big must have happened when the Dutch suddenly summoned you to discuss matters."

"Or, it was the rebel army in Cirebon that wiped out the Dutch brought by Valkenier; or, the imperial court really sent troops."

"It's not a lie when you say you are going to find out the truth. It's just that the purpose of finding out the truth is worth pondering."

"If the rebel army annihilates Valknir, then you think, the mud-legged people in the mountains can't really besiege Batavia. If you capture Batavia, you will not have a good life. If this is the case, when you call the city The Chinese helped the Dutch defend the city and persisted until the Dutch reinforcements arrived. You believe that the Dutch are still strong."

"But if the imperial court really sends troops, you think, if the imperial court sends troops, the Dutchman will definitely be finished. If you don't wait for this time to make meritorious service, when will it be?"

The words were full of sarcasm and sarcasm, making Lian Fuguang's old face blush with embarrassment.If I didn't think so, I'm afraid I have to say why people are innocent out of thin air?But if you really think so, there will only be embarrassment and panic left.

He wanted to say something in a hurry, but his mind went blank, and he couldn't think of anything to resolve the embarrassment of being punctured.

Without holding back a word for a long time, Wang Wu took the initiative to smile and said: "Forget it, you go ahead. This is a good thing, the Dutch saved you. If the Dutch didn't summon you, I'm afraid you will go astray and continue Go on. Go, go."

Lian Fuguang bowed his hands at these people in embarrassment, and left without saying a word.

As soon as he left, the awkward person became Lian Jieguang.The performance of his own brother really made him feel ashamed.

"My lord... My brother is also..."

Wang Wu laughed and said, "Jieguang, deeds don't matter. If not, why would the Marquis of Jing send us to Batavia? Marquis of Jing hopes that when he reports to the court in the future, he can say: Batavia The remnants of the Celestial Dynasty, upon hearing the arrival of the Heavenly Soldiers, ate pots of oatmeal to welcome them."

"If not, it's really not pretty."

“During the previous visit to Macau, thousands of Chinese celebrated Portugal’s independence from Spain with parades, firecrackers, and dragon and lion dances.”

"But when it's our turn to attack Batavia, the Chinese in this city don't make any moves. In such a comparison, who has the honor? You and I are both citizens of the Celestial Dynasty. Could it be that we have the honor? Isn’t it ugly to spread the word?”

"What do you think of the court? The Chinese culture of this dynasty is not as good as the Westerners' rule of Macao for a hundred years? It is not as good as the Dutch's rule of Batavia for a hundred years?"

These people from the Nanyang Guiyi Army already have a hazy sense of community.Their community with the Chinese in Batavia is that they are all Chinese.

Because of this hazy understanding of the community, sometimes this kind of mentality of sharing shame and sharing glory can appear, although they may not know each other at all.

It was precisely because of this hazy community recognition that Lian Jieguang almost subconsciously retorted: "There are too many Chinese among us who are good men. Thousands of rebels fought endlessly with the Dutch; those slave laborers who immigrated to Ceylon I heard that when the army of the Celestial Dynasty comes, they must be greeted with food. Not to mention Yue Wumu, Prime Minister Wen, etc., how many heroes and heroes who resisted the Eastern Captives in the last years of the previous dynasty? How can we be inferior to the people of heaven?"

Hearing this, Wang Wu couldn't help laughing and said, "Do you feel the same way? Maybe you don't recognize them at all, but just because they are Chinese like us, you feel that their shame is your own shame, theirs. Glory is your own glory?"

Lian Jieguang had never thought about this question, and just subconsciously refuted it.Hearing what Wang Wu said at this moment, he thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Indeed. Has your lord ever done this before?"

Wang Wu raised his head, thought about it, and said solemnly: "Yes, about seven or eight years ago, when I was still in Weihai, I came up with such an idea. On that day, the Marquis of Jing took a big map. We People are looking for their hometowns on it... Just for a moment, looking at the winding national border, it seems that I really felt what the country we are loyal to looks like. I have never been to Yunnan and Guizhou in my life. Sichuan and other places in the southwest, but they know that there are also their own people.”

"only……"

He raised his head, but hesitated to speak, and finally just shook his head and said: "That's all. I won't mention this."

Everyone didn't know what he wanted to say, but behind Wang Wu's sentence was what he had seen and heard in Nanyang these years.Those who lend money, pay taxes, squeeze slave labor, all these things, what he saw and heard with his own eyes, made Wang Wu have a strange and terrifying thought more than once.

Although it is often suppressed, it can linger like a gangrene from time to time.

Sometimes, he would think of the Eight Great Kings in the story of the last years of the previous dynasty.Then think of those seven words.

kill!kill!kill!kill!kill!kill!kill!
