Dragon Sea Empire

After reorganization, there are about 200 people in the Anping Pioneering Group, most of whom are from Anping, Quanzhou. They were originally pirates and fishermen who went to sea, and bandits recruited for the Han family and the Huang family respectively. Therefore, these people were originally Military discipline is the worst among the Malay Chinese militia.

Many of the veterans of the Chinese Army who were the leaders of the various teams were formerly children or servants of the Han and Huang families. They died or were arrested during the raid of the Supervising Army Department. The hearts of the people are not in harmony, and the training is not good.

Most of the newly sent leaders and pawns are not from the same place, and they are not familiar with each other. Obviously, this small militia unit is not suitable to participate in the battle in the Malay Peninsula.

The troops of Zheng Zhilong and Mai Dahai rested by the Kelantan River for a few days. On the day of reorganization, the Anping Pioneering Group was used as a logistics escort team to transport the property from the robbery back to the city of Malacca.

Soon after, they went to Ceylon Island in the Indian Ocean under the leadership of Zheng Hongkui, the third child of the Zheng family and 15 years old, after a brief training.

At the beginning of the second year of Apocalypse, Zheng Zhilong had been fighting the Dutch, Portuguese, local Tamils, and Sinhalese here, and occupied a large piece of land on the west coast of Ceylon Island, all of which were assigned to the Zheng family by the Chinese company. Under the name, the Zheng family opened up four large manors on that tropical island, planting large tracts of sugar cane, pepper, and rice. In order to compete for land, the war between Chinese immigrants and Westerners and aboriginals has been going on on Ceylon Island. Therefore, The Anping Pioneering Group was sent there to fight for the interests of the Zheng family.

Zheng Zhilong was 19 years old at the time, and he was the youngest lieutenant colonel in the Chinese Army. His younger brother Zheng Zhihu is still in Liaodong. He is only [-] years old and is already a captain. In the battle against Yan Siqi's Hetuala, facing the cavalry group of Manchuria's Eight Banners, he fought bravely and killed countless enemies. Now he is the commander of the battalion directly under the headquarters of the Second Division. The people and horses had just arrived in the swampy jungle at the confluence of the Songhua River and the Hulan River in August. An army composed of Mongolian tribes was gathering in front of them.

In the camp deep in the dense forest, he received a letter from his father, which was sent by the logistics force along with food, grass and ammunition.

The content of this letter is basically the same as that received by Zheng Zhilong. At the same time, the Military Supervision Department also told Zheng Zhihu about the Han family and Huang Ying's accident. Zheng Zhihu's reaction was different from Zheng Zhilong's. The members of the family arrested them, made a fuss and tied them up and handed them over to the old battalion of the Second Division Division in Jiefan City in the rear. Yang Dacheng laughed when he heard this, and sent the children of the Huang family to the old camp. Detained in the Golden State Fortress.

After August, the news of Han Ping's family and Huang Yong's accident had spread to various places, and the internal cleansing activities in the King of China's ruling area were also carried out in various places, and soon spread to all the ruling areas under Yin Feng's jurisdiction.

The Han Ping family formed pioneer militias in Nanyang, Luzon, and Liaodong. The Huang Cheng family only had a pioneering regiment in Nanyang. In the business halls of various places, including the Huaxing Lianhao in the inland Ming Dynasty, and various "Hua" characters There are many underground Chinese business houses in the Han and Huang families.

In the Chinese army, there are not many people from the two major families. Yin Feng has always pursued rigorous military training in the army, as well as the ruthless military supervisory department, coupled with the extremely strict military discipline at the time: understanding the inside information of the Chinese army Most of the members of the two major families are willing to do business rather than go to the Chinese army to endure hardships. The Han family focused on military strength in the later stage, but they can no longer mix sand in the Chinese army that almost worships Yin Feng as a god, so they have to form a pioneer group by themselves. With the help of Zheng Zhilong's relationship, the Huang family arranged for several family servants to join the Chinese army, but they were all small soldiers.

Therefore, the rectification in the Chinese Army is limited to a few logistics chiefs who have withheld military pay. Among the senior generals, there are also those who used to be close to the Han family. Li Xing's wife is Han Jingyuan's cousin, which is also a close relationship with the Han family The results of the Chinese army lieutenant general.

After the Han family incident happened, Li Xing, the commander of the third division stationed in Luzon, immediately led his troops and disarmed the Han family's pioneering regiment that was fighting against Muslims in southern Luzon. If he didn't agree, Fei Ge passed a letter to him, asking the third division to make preparations to support the Malay Peninsula. In the brief Fei Ge letter, Yin Feng didn't say a word about the Han family.

Li Xing was grateful and devoted himself to preparing for the battle, but at the same time he rejected the suggestions of his friends: immediately write a letter of divorce to divorce Mrs. Han.

There are also other types of tragedies and comedies: Zeng Jingshan's son married the third lady of Huang Cheng's family. They were married for only two years and had no children. Miss Huang Jiasan.

...The "movement" of purges outside the Chinese military system appears to be very chaotic and ruthless.

The personnel of the Internal Intelligence Agency, the Military Intelligence Department, and the Audit Section of the Company's Finance Department had already set off to various places a few months ago, and now they have entered the busiest time.

Numerous ledgers have been dug out from the bottom of boxes of various commercial houses and affiliated banks, and the ledgers pushed back to ten years ago have been searched. There are many problems in the accounts of the Han family, but this is not their biggest problem. After the incident was revealed, all the people in the Chinese company and the high-level members of the Chinese army were guessing: the Han family could not get rid of the fate of confiscating the family and exterminating the family. Few people sympathized with the Han family. He thinks the Han family's move is a kind of betrayal: After all, Yin Feng risked his life to rescue them from Manila, and also helped them earn a lot of money.

The personnel arranged by the Han family and the Huang family in various commercial offices were almost wiped out, most of them were found to have financial problems, and all the personnel who had no problems were transferred back to the Taiwan company headquarters to reassign their positions.

Only Huang Cheng's third son has been working in the audit department of the company's finance department. He has performed conscientiously and has nothing to do with the bad things in the family.

Since Han Ping has been in charge of the company's financial audit department, he was aware of Yin Feng sending people to check the accounts in advance, but he failed to find that Yin Feng was investigating the "Western Cannon Case".

Before Han Ping was placed under house arrest, he entrusted his servants to issue a warning. In Beijing, Wuhan, Xi’an and other places, Huaxing Lianhao, that is, money houses, absconded with money. These places were under the control of the Ming Dynasty government. The United Company had no way to pursue them with great fanfare, so it had no choice but to let it go.

The treasurer of the Jinzhou Commercial Center in Liaodong is also a child of the Han family. He fled carrying some confidential company documents, and was discovered by the Ming army patrolling on the bank of the Liao River. The soldiers of the Guangning General Army saw that he was carrying a lot of treasure Xinsheng maliciously hacked him to death on the spot and took away those belongings. As for the few documents, the illiterate soldiers used them as materials for lighting a fire to keep warm.

However, after the shopkeeper of the underground bank of Jingshi’s company escaped, he surrendered himself to Jinyiwei and handed over a lot of confidential information, which led to the fall of the hidden piles planted by the Chinese Army in the palace. After the young eunuch was caught by Jinyiwei, he confessed his contact As a result, more hidden spies of the Chinese Army were arrested, and even a small Beijing official who had been lurking for ten years had to escape. This was a catastrophe for Lin Xiao and others who were setting up a spy network.

As the investigation of the Han and Huang families deepened, many incidents unrelated to the two families were discovered, including corruption, dereliction of duty, collusion with the government, and so on.

The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs also gained a lot. From the south to the north, the family members and children of the senior members of the Chinese company and the senior generals of the Chinese army were investigated and prosecuted for the crimes of robbing men and women. In the memory of another time and space, there is a phenomenon in traditional Chinese society that wealth does not last for three generations. Although there are factors of moodiness of the upper class, there are also reasons why Chinese people traditionally take care of their family members too much once they are rich, so that they have cultivated piles of troublemakers. "Rich second generation" and "official second generation", he immediately issued an order to strictly investigate the crimes involved in the family members of all directors of the company, including the families of Chinese military academy-level officers.

Among the 25 directors, apart from Han's father and son, Luo Xuri, Huang Yi, and Yin Feng, including Li Lihua's family, some of them were found to have violated the law by the Security Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Yin Feng mercilessly ordered The Ministry of Justice took over these cases and prepared to try them according to the law. Although this move made ordinary people worship Yin Feng even more, it undoubtedly expanded the scope of this purge, and everyone began to feel insecure in the area ruled by the King of China.

In October, following the first gust of north wind, Li Lihua set off from Taiwan Harbor on a two-masted cruiser and sailed for 25 days to Java Island. On the flagship of the Third Squadron of the Taiwan Fleet, Huang Yi's family came with her, escorting them, as well as a schooner and an auxiliary ship.

They first came to Banten Port. With the end of the Nanyang War, it became the center of East-West trade again. During the Second Nanyang War five years ago, Banten’s trading market was limited by time and place. The east of the city and the palace The three markets in other places are not allowed to open at the same time.

Today, the former Sultan of Banten has been deposed, and the descendants of the former Prime Minister of Banten are in charge. They act according to the opinions of the Banten Chinese Chamber of Commerce in name. In fact, the Chinese are already controlling everything here, and the Chinese have expanded the market. And ports, a large number of transactions of various commodities, Chinese, Portuguese, British, French, Malays, as well as Bangladesh, Arabs, and Siamese are all coming and going in the market of Banten.

Banten Port now has the second regiment of the Nanyang Brigade stationed in the city, and there are more than ten Nanyang Fleet schooners defending the port.

Li Lihua didn't disturb anyone in the local area, and went ashore directly with her own guards, and came to the Zhonghua Merchant House. Among the [-] or [-] members of Huang Yi's family, only Huang Yan took his eldest son and followed Li Lihua to the Zhonghua Merchant House with his head down. museum.

They arrived at Banten Port in the evening. That night, the market manager and the treasurer of the Zhonghua Bank, the head of the second regiment of the city's garrison-Nanyang Brigade, and various Western chambers of commerce in the city rushed over. Thirty A black personal guard blocked the entrance of the backyard of the commercial building, and would say to any eager visitors: "His Royal Highness is resting," they seemed to only speak such a sentence in Chinese.

Li Lihua did not rest. She is receiving Captain William Cornelis Schauzing who came to Banten Port earlier, that is, the Dutch adventurer who discovered the Northeast Asian sea route and Hokkaido. He is now Yin Feng's private expedition ship The captain of the team, and now Isaac, a Jewish businessman from South America, was brought by Captain Schauzing.

Yin Feng has not yet decided how to deal with the Han family father and son and Luo Xuri. Huang Cheng's family has been freed from house arrest after announcing their resignation from the board of directors because they were not deeply involved in the Western cannon case.
