Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 113 Like an Adulterer (Two in One)

"Xiao Liu, is he a very important person? Why don't you entertain him first?" Wu Sangui couldn't help asking.

"Indeed, he is a very important heavyweight in the Netherlands. At this juncture, this person came to Chaozhou to meet me in person. I'm afraid something serious is going to happen."

Everyone looked at each other, but still Wu Sangui said: "If it's convenient, can you introduce this person to us?"

"Oh? I'm fine. It's just that your lords are here to do things in secret. To meet an outsider like this..."

Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong were also somewhat hesitant, but it was Sun Yanling who said: "What we discussed was to rebel and lose our heads. Those who were afraid of wolves and tigers can do nothing. As Mr. Liu said, since this Dutchman It's your partner, so naturally it's our partner. I also think it's better for everyone to meet at this time. After all, they are a group of red hairs. Can they still inform the court? Besides, everyone in the world knows that we are going to rebel, Kangxi Before withdrawing the feudal clan, they even said that if they withdraw, they will withdraw or not, so what does it matter if they tell the truth?"

Liu Dapao nodded, and said to Wu Shuntian: "Please invite him and Potter over, then add two more seats, and tell them not to bring an interpreter, I will be the interpreter."

"it is good."

Dutch and English are quite similar. It is relatively easy for Liu Dapao to learn English, but he has almost mastered it in the past six months or so.

After a while, Porter and Luiter came over. Seeing so many people on the table, and the dishes on the table had already been torn off and replaced with tea, they couldn't help being a little surprised for a while.

"This is General Luyter, Megatron Europe. Hello, I'm Liu."

"Hello, Liu, did Porter mention me to you? I heard Porter said that you are the most well-established businessman he has ever seen. Although West Pacific Company has only been established for half a year, its development speed really surprised me. Surprised, these friends are..."

"This is the most powerful local vassal king of our Qing court, Wu Sangui, king of Pingxi, these three are Prince Pingnan's son Shang Zhixin, King Jingnan Geng Jingzhong, General Sun Yanling of Guangxi, and this is Yuan Chengzhi, the lord of Boni Island. , and the nine difficulties of the former Ming Changping Princess, we are discussing together how to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and establish a country of our own. If we can get the support of you and your country in this process, I think our success will be certain will get bigger."

"Oh God, this is really great, Liu, I came here this time to discuss with you, to see if we can build a brand new country, and we thought of going together."

As he said that, Luyter actually saluted very much, and at the same time rushed to shake hands with everyone, and said with special enthusiasm: "Please let us participate in the great cause of several of you, if you want to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty , please allow me to become a general of the Ming Dynasty."

While talking, he bowed to everyone in a very serious and polite manner, and added: "I can bring you a truly invincible navy fleet, which is about three to four times the size of the current Xiamen garrison. Can bring innumerable wealth, please allow me to occupy a place in your new country."

While talking, Porter had already translated for them in Chinese without Liu Dapao's translation, which made Wu Sangui and others stunned for a while, and were all dumbfounded.

Liu Dapao was also a little silly, "You mean... no, what about the Netherlands?"

"Hey, the Netherlands has already abandoned us. Just two months ago, a group of mobs captured the parliament under the secret instigation of King William III, and the chairman of the Great Council of DeWitt was beaten to death in public."

"........."

Got it, once he said that, Liu Dapao understood everything.

At this moment, Liu Dapao really wanted to slap himself, it's a disaster day!How could I forget about this?Is it so fast?
Of course Liu Dapao knew about the disaster day, but he really couldn't remember which year it happened.

To put it simply, the war in the Netherlands in Europe was not going well. Facing the British and French allied forces, especially the French army’s land attack, De Witt couldn’t resist, so he had to order the gates to be released and the dams to be blown up. The land of Germany was drowned with the attacking French soldiers, and a peace treaty was signed.

Of course the Dutch people were angry, especially when DeWitt disbanded the army before, cut the military spending in the Netherlands, repaid loans to the Chinese, and sent the main fleet to the Far East and America, but left Regardless of the national war that is close by, the result is that when the enemy breaks in, they open the gates and release the water.

So what do we ordinary Dutch people look like to you?
This is not as good as the feudal emperor. The feudal emperor knows how to protect his territory and people, but the regime controlled by capitalists only knows money. The land and people that cannot generate profits may be cumbersome and burdensome in the eyes of others.

The angry people spontaneously organized to overthrow the parliament, and invited William III, the feudal emperor, to be the master of the house again. As the leading figure of the republic, DeWitt was beaten to death and dismembered in the street. His death was worse than Yuan Chengzhi's father. , and the rest of the republican politicians were also affected by Chiyu.

Countless big politicians and big capitalists who used to be glorious in the past were killed by angry mobs who broke into their homes, hung their heads on wooden poles, raped their wives and daughters, and robbed them of their property. Originally, the most civilized people in the world The city of Amsterdam turned into a living hell overnight.

This day is a catastrophe day that rewrites the history of the Netherlands and even the history of the world.

As the admiral of the Netherlands, one of the leaders of the republican faction, and as DeWitt's confidant, he naturally became the target of the mob's revenge. Originally, he and his family must die, but fortunately William The third king still retained a bit of reason, knowing that the navy that the Netherlands is proud of will inevitably fall apart if Luyter dies, and the war is not over yet, so he cannot kill the general without authorization, so he spared his life and took his family as hostages He was forced to go to sea to fight a decisive battle with the British and French allied forces, and he won the battle, and the first battle established his name as the God of War, and he was called the greatest hero of the Netherlands in later generations.

However, winning is winning, but at this time the sky of the Netherlands is already the sky of William III, and the republicans have completely lost their power.

Although the Dutch East India Company is still there, it is completely divorced from the Dutch government. In the original history, the big capitalists who no longer trusted the Dutch government fled one after another, and most of them went to the Dutch East India Company. , and then the Dutch East India Company gradually declined, and the country of the Netherlands no longer lost its status as a world hegemon, and gradually disappeared from world history textbooks.

Later, the conflict between the East India Company and the Chinese government became more and more acute. Later, the Glorious Revolution took place, and the bourgeoisie officially stepped onto the stage of history and became the masters of the state power. Next, the world is Britain It's the world of people.

However, at this moment, in this time and space, because of the instigation of Liu Dapao, a little butterfly, a little accident occurred in the direction of history.

After being abandoned by the Netherlands, some of these capitalists still chose the British East India Company, but more people thought of the far east, and there was a West Pacific Company in which the Dutch held more than 60% of the shares.

Liu Zhongtang said that he had a dream, to unite the bourgeoisie all over the world to build their own country, build their own army, and protect themselves.

What a dream it is!
After all, the country is a feud, and the government of the country is no less vigilant against capital than the Netherlands or even more so, so why don't you go directly to Liu Zhongtang?

Of course, at this time Liu Zhongtang was just an official of the Manchu Qing feudal empire, which seemed to be no more reliable than the East India Company of the East India Company at all. Liu Dapao's came to embolden him again.

It means: "Brother, look, I have brought all the European navy of our Netherlands here. I dare not say it on land, but on the sea, we men are on the same level! It is not difficult at all to crack the soil and seal the king. Let's build a bourgeois sovereign. governing country."

Originally, he was quite nervous, but as soon as he entered the room, he listened to Liu Dapao's introduction, hey~, good guy, you brought the biggest and strongest lords of the Qing Dynasty over here?Are you planning to rebel?What a coincidence, heroes see the same thing!

These republicans are all noble people, people who have broken away from vulgar interests, and people who have completely broken away from the concept of nation and country. Besides, they are now bedbugs in their own country, and everyone is shouting and beating them.

If Liu Dapao can accommodate him, allowing them to make money and allow them to spend money, then he wouldn't mind changing a skin or a nation for a country at all.

Wu Sangui and the others were originally forced to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and to be honest, they didn't have much confidence. Now that they heard what Luiter said, they knew that this person was a strong supporter, and immediately extended a warm welcome to him.

And this Luiter was even more excited when he heard that everyone was discussing the establishment of a company, and the company's shares determine their own right to speak. If this political system can be implemented, it is simply for these businessmen who have been abandoned by the motherland. Where is heaven!Immediately joined the discussion enthusiastically.

Of course, we didn’t talk about the real things at all. After all, everyone is ambitious and there is no trust in each other. When Luyter didn’t come, everyone talked about the equity valuation. It's been more than two hours, and now I'm adding him, it's hell to be able to talk about why, and we talked like this until dark, seeing that everyone's physical strength was a little bit behind, so Liu Dapao had no choice but to arrange They rested separately and continued tomorrow.

As a result, as soon as he got home and lay down, he hugged Mrs. Chen and touched him for a while. When he became interested and wanted to do some favorite things, a servant reported that it was Sun Yanling who came to see him.

Didn't you just break up and you're in such a hurry to have a small meeting?

He had no choice but to order someone to take him to the study, and couldn't help but smile wryly when they saw each other: "General Sun, what can't we talk about tomorrow, aren't you tired at such a late hour?"

"I can't fall asleep if we don't talk about things properly. I'll ask you to call you Brother Liu, okay?"

"Of course, then I'll call you Brother Sun."

"Brother Liu, there are no outsiders here, let me tell you the truth."

Good guy, we are no longer outsiders when we met today, but you really don't see outsiders.

"Brother, please speak."

"I don't really have any ambitions to tell the truth. Since ancient times, there are not many men who have eaten soft rice and can eat as much as me. Although they don't have the name of a vassal king, they have the real status of a vassal king. As for Bai Chigan I have gone one step further, I have never thought about it before, the reason why I want to rebel now is because I have no choice but to do so."

"I'm different from these three princes, especially this Wu Sangui. Now that he's turned against the flag, he's going to fight for world hegemony. What kind of shit is going against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty? Does he have the face to restore the Ming Dynasty? That means he must be the emperor. of."

"I really don't care who is the emperor, but today's rebellion is for the purpose of rebellion. I am guarding Guilin. After the rebellion, I can only fight in Hunan. However, Wu Sangui must also fight in Hunan. The two of us must be I want to join forces, but I also have this self-knowledge, if I really join forces, with my strength and prestige, I have no other choice but to rely on him Wu Sangui, alas, it is difficult."

"General Sun, I'm afraid that King Pingxi will recruit you, right?"

"Exactly, to be honest, although my wife is a woman's opinion, there is a certain reason why her opinion has won the support of so many generals in the army. For us, even if Wu Sangui is What can I do if I win the world?"

"What's so great is to let me crack the earth to seal the king? But if it's just cracking the soil to seal the king, what's the difference from now? After all, since the Qing court can't tolerate me, can Wu Sangui tolerate it? Who is Wu Sangui? , Do you still need me to say? No one in the world knows it!"

Liu Dapao didn't know what he wanted to do, so he had no choice but to follow his words and say: "Yes, in fact, if Kangxi hadn't insisted on withdrawing the feudal clan forcefully to force him back, I'm afraid he is the number one enemy of my Tiandihui up to now. I helped Brother Zhong one by one, and I wished I could get rid of him soon."

"Brother Liu, don't blame me for talking to you. At this table today, you are the richest, but you are also the weakest army and the smallest territory. Your Chaozhou city is stuck at the most critical point. In the position of Geng and Shang, the two feudal clans are like thorns in their throats, and their backs are like pins and needles. If you really want to say that you are great, it is nothing more than making friends with the Hongmaofan, and the navy is invincible, but now you see that the Hongmaofan has also ended in person. You can give it to Hongmao, why can't they give it to San Francisco?"

"Brother, what you mean is that after an incident in the future, maybe Wu, Geng, and Shang will swallow my thoughts?"

"What do you mean it can't be done well? There will definitely be one, maybe it already exists now."

"Then why did the elder brother teach me?"

"You have money but lack soldiers and horses. I have strong soldiers and horses but lack money and food to buy people's hearts. In addition, you and I are in danger of being annexed, so brother Liu, isn't it a perfect match between you and me?"

"Brother is right! Then I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Ah Qiao knocked on the door again and came in, saying: "Wu Sangui is here, I want to see you alone."

Liu Dapao was taken aback, and Sun Yanling took the initiative to say: "Invite him in quickly to see what he said, I will hide and hide, don't tell him that I have been here."

As he spoke, he searched around, but he slipped under the bed, just like an adulterer.
