Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 143 Building a New Ming Dynasty

For Hao Duo's opposition, of course Liu Dapao will not have any surprises. As the Hesheli of the four great clans of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he would support the anti-Qing Dynasty.

Liu Dapao gave Wu Shuntian a look.

As the secretary of the company's board of directors who was just appointed, Wu Shuntian immediately took over the task of hosting, and said: "Apart from Hao Duo, is there anyone else who has expressed objection to this matter? If not, representative Hao Duo can come forward ,"

"Is there anyone else who wants to express a clear objection? If not, Mr. Hao Duo can come forward and explain the reasons for your objection."

Hao Duo was taken aback when he heard this.

Actually... didn't kill me directly?

Come to the stage to explain the reasons for opposition?

Is this necessary?

Liu Dapao and the Dutch wear a pair of trousers, and their combined shares have already exceeded 50%. Although 70% of the votes are required to start a war, the largest shareholder of the West Pacific Company, apart from them, happens to be the San Francisco Four towns.

Then Hao Duo immediately realized that it was wrong.

To put it bluntly behind Liu Dapao, apart from Chaozhou City, there are ten top chambers of commerce, and they also have voting rights.

In addition, the officers and men of the green battalion and the navy in the city also have stock options. Their generals attended the meeting as shareholder representatives, and just like myself, they voted on behalf of all the soldiers.

Do they dare to rebel?Why do you want to rebel?

According to the rules, he only needs to win 30% of the shares to express his objection, and then he can at least force them to overturn the table and renege on their promises.

In this way, the meaning of this shareholders meeting is gone.

Immediately, Hao Duo stood in front and pointed at Liu Dapao and said, "Liu Xun, you... you are a rebellious minister and a traitor, you care so much about your favor! You...you ask yourself, how bad is His Majesty treating you!!"

Liu Dapao smiled and said: "I hereby solemnly declare that I am not Liu Xun. I killed him as early as he was on the way to take office and then impersonated him. The chief helmsman, to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty has always been my ideal in life.”

"However, Hao Duo, it doesn't make any sense for you to say this here. My personal morality has nothing to do with the interests of the company's shareholders. What you have to do is to convince other shareholders and explain your reasons for objecting."

"Does the reason still need to be said? Can you win the fight?"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and said to all the shareholders: "Everyone, think about it, with the company's strength, can it really compete with the imperial court? The imperial court has always killed rebels, and you want to be punished Is it?"

"Even if the San Francisco and the Four Towns are all turned against each other, so what? It's just another Nanming. What can we do when facing the Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners? I don't care if he is Liu Xun or Liu Dapao. If he goes crazy, you have to stay with him." Do you want to die?"

Liu Dapao heard the words and said with a smile: "I would like to say two things. First, our company has the most powerful navy in the world. At least blocking the Yangtze River will not be a big problem. It is not difficult to block Jiangnan. And even if this We were really defeated in the first battle, and I assure you that all shareholders of the company can take their families to sea safely, we can build a country overseas, and try to make a comeback, in other words, the risks are controllable, and we are already invincible."

"Moreover, the reason why the company supports the Ming court is very simple, because the Ming court recognizes the company, because I am the prime minister in the Ming court, and because within the Ming court, private property is sacred and inviolable. Everyone, I need to remind you that in the Qing court , such as Hao Duo and his Eight Banners soldiers, killing people is not illegal, no matter how much money you make, it is meaningless."

"On the contrary, if we can win, the larger the territory we occupy, the stronger the company will be. As shareholders, we will be able to earn more profits and get more dividends."

"Everyone, the old Ming Dynasty has been wiped out in history, and the new Ming Dynasty will be created by us together. We will create an unprecedented country"

"Shareholders, whether you want to be the master of the country or the slaves of the Qing Dynasty, now, choose, who is in favor and who is against."

After the voice fell, for about three seconds, the entire venue could hear a quiet needle drop.

Then, there was a huge wave of applause, and every shareholder who participated in the meeting seemed to be crazy, and someone started to shout: "Long live the company, long live the prime minister!!"

Then, everyone started yelling, not only yelling, but also jumping, some shareholders even took off their fur coats, knelt on the ground shirtless and howled to the sky in the cold weather.

Hao Duo was dumbfounded.

Are these people, are these people crazy?Don't they know the horror of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers?Why do they think that this so-called Ming court in bulk can really win?

After a while, seeing that they finally calmed down a little, Liu Dapao stretched out his hand to signal everyone to stop, and then said: "I think there should be no need to vote. As a supplement, I will announce two more things."

"First, the company's stocks are allowed to be traded freely at any time. If any of you don't want to participate in the anti-Qing and Fuming campaign, or think that we can't do it from the bottom of your heart, it doesn't matter, you can sell the stocks, as long as you have If the stock is sold clean, it has nothing to do with us, of course, if Kangxi believes it."

"Secondly, it is said that the Heavenly Army of the Eight Banners is invincible. I think we might as well give it a try. Tomorrow, I am willing to have a show battle with Hao Duo and his elite Eight Banners."

"Jiang Sheng."

"The end is here."

"Tomorrow we will attack Mancheng, with your Baoguo battalion as the vanguard, and let us learn the methods of Hao Zhentai and his Eight Banners soldiers."

"The last general takes orders."

Then Liu Dapao turned his head to Hao Duo and said, "Hao Duo, on behalf of the company's executive board of directors, I would like to announce to you that the options you have with the Eight Banners soldiers under your command are void. We will attack you on time tomorrow at [-]:[-] p.m. All over the city, when the time comes, all shareholders of the company will watch this battle as spectators."

"If you want to die with dignity, please fight bravely."

Hao Duo: "..."

How dare you be a human being!
After thinking for a while, Hao Duo asked, "Are you selling stocks?"

"Yes, in fact, Mancheng buried enough gunpowder in the ground when it was being built, and I could easily kill you all if I thought about it, but indeed, the view that the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers are invincible is still too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. One point, defeating you upright may increase the confidence of our shareholders, and it is also a good opportunity to test new equipment and new tactics."

"If you want to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, play well, and let us suffer heavy losses and affect the stock price, that may be the only thing you can do."

Hao Duo was silent for a long time, and asked: "There are not only soldiers in the city, but also old and weak women and children. Can we spare their lives?"

Liu Dapao thought for a while and said, "Yes, genocide is not in line with the spirit of our company. It is too easy to be harmonious. I can guarantee that your relatives will be treated humanely after your death."
