Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 12

Chapter 12, Lanfang Luo's Big Sister Head
For the Chinese living in Nanyang.

Their relationship with the Dutch is in a state of both exploiting and guarding against each other.

on the one hand.

The Dutch controlled the sea power in Southeast Asia.

This also means that whether it is the Chinese forces who grow spices and mines in Borneo, or the Xu family pirates who are entrenched in the Pearl River Estuary and active in the South China Sea.

All must live under the noses of the Dutch-this is the benefit of having sea power.

In fact.

For Zhu Daohua.

He knew very well that when he came to Nanyang, he wanted to grab enough resources from Nanyang to support his rebellious cause.

There will inevitably be conflicts with the Dutch-in Nanyang, what is more important than the interests of mastering sea power?
However, although the Dutch have a strong navy.

But they are also very wary of Chinese influence in Nanyang.

anyway.

The number of Chinese is not comparable to that of the Dutch.

More critical is.

Behind these Chinese, there is a mother country with a population of more than [-] million.

And the country is just around the corner!
Once the country opens up the sea, the Dutch will not be able to stop the Chinese occupation of Nanyang in any case.
therefore.

The strategy of the Dutch in Nanyang is to support the aborigines and suppress the Chinese.

And it also reminds the Chinese in Nanyang all the time, who is the overlord of Southeast Asia!
At this moment.

Pontianak port in West Borneo.

Pontianak Port is located at the mouth of Borneo's largest river, the Kapuas River.

The inland is connected by convenient river transportation, and the rich mineral resources of Borneo can be transported out through the river.

Of course, for the Dutch, their most in-demand commodities in Southeast Asia were spices and sugar.

So, in Borneo.

In addition to mining minerals, the Chinese.

Also opened up a large number of plantations, growing spices and sugar cane.

The main source of income of the Lanfang Luo family, which occupies Pontianak Port, is the large number of plantations on both sides of the Kapuas River.

Next to Pontianak Port, there are two traditional circular Hakka earth buildings, one large and one small, surrounded by wood and rammed earth as the main materials.

This enclosure has both residential and defensive functions.

It is a very common building in southern China, especially in Guangdong and Fujian.

The defense function is very good.

On the roof of the largest earth building.

A tricolor national flag of the Netherlands and a square flag with the inscription "Lanfang Dazhi".

The round tulou is called a big tulou.

In fact, it can already be regarded as a walled city.

In the earth building, this is a super large earth building.

But if it is considered a walled city, it is considered a very small walled city, and it is a small county town on the scale of the Qing Dynasty.

There are only two cross streets in the enclosure.

The intersection of two avenues.

It is the mansion of Luo Fangbo, the chief executive of Lanfang's ruling republic today.

Although the nominal capital of the Lanfang Republic is Dongwanlu, this Lanfang Kingdom is originally an alliance of several Hakka families in Jiaying Prefecture.

Therefore, Lanfang said that it is a country.

But this country has no army, no government, and the practice of clan and family law, that is to say.

This Lanfang country is said to be one country.

In fact, it is similar to a loose tribal alliance - to be precise, a clan alliance.

Take Luo Fangbo, known as the "King of Pontianak" as an example.

Those Jia Tais under him are all members of the Luo clan in Jiaying Prefecture without exception.

It is a tradition for many southern Han people to live together as a clan, especially in areas like Jiaying Prefecture where the Hakka people live together.

Clans unite in order to compete for survival resources.

This model of clan living together.

It was also brought to Nanyang by the Hakka people, Chaoshan people, Cantonese and Fujian people.

The advantage of this model is that it is very convenient to form an organization based on blood ties, and only with the power of the organization can it be possible to fight with the local aborigines in Nanyang.

But clans also have limitations.

That is, there can only be small-scale organizations. If you want to expand the size of the organization, you must break the bond with blood as the core-but in this way, the clan is no longer a clan.

A model like the current Lanfang Domination Republic.

Maybe it's the highest form of clan bonding.
"King Ming."

house.

The founder of the Lanfang Republic, Pontianak King Luo Fangbo frowned and sat on the grand master's chair, with his hands on the mahogany coffee table beside him, and his fingers unconsciously tapped on the tabletop.

Luo Fangbo is not tall, but rather strong. Luo Fangbo, who is only 39 years old this year, has a square face, round ears, dark skin, and looks older than his actual age.

On the table next to him were two open letterheads.

One of them is bilingually written in Dutch and Chinese.

The other one is written in Chinese, with the big seal "Ming Wang Baoyin" on the bottom.

"Brother, you told me about the origin of King Ming. Eight thousand people were killed in one battle, including two thousand Dutchmen! Now the Dutch actually want us to send troops to deal with him."

A string of silver bells sounded.

This is Luo Fangmei, the younger sister of Luo Fangbo's mother and compatriot.

Aged about 23 four.

She is a well-known older leftover woman throughout West Borneo.

It's not that Luo Fangbo's younger sister is ugly and cannot marry.

In fact, this Luo Fangmei's sharp sword is too strong, and she said again, if you want to marry her, you have to take a few tricks from her sword first.
At this time, Luo Fangmei had a sword hanging on her waist, and she was wearing a blue bunt. Her chest was bulging, and her clothes were stretched like tights. Vibrant and heroic, at first glance, you can catch a glimpse of thousands of charms.

It's no wonder that some good people call this eldest sister of the Luo family "the number one beauty in Nanyang".

"To annihilate two thousand Dutchmen in one battle, this Ming King Zhu Daohua is indeed capable."

Luo Fangbo took a deep breath and said.

Two thousand Dutch soldiers.

Enough to cross West Borneo.

Even if Lan Fangluo, Liu, Ye, and Chen joined forces, they might not be opponents.

"But it's nothing to defeat the Dutch in a land battle. The Dutch control Nanyang by their navy."

Luo Fangbo picked up the letter from the Dutchman.

"Ten days later, we will fight east of the Straits of Malacca. Can Zhu Daohua win?"

"It's good if we win! These Dutch red-haired ghosts are riding on us and domineering. Someone should have taught them a lesson long ago. I heard that after Zhu Daohua was Prince Yiwen, he dared to call himself King Ming now. I'm afraid this is someone Ambitious."

Luo Fangmei's eyes were clear, and when talking about Zhu Daohua, there was a look of joy between her brows and eyes.

Luo Fangbo was stunned for a moment, and then he began to worry a little.

"Let's see for a while, if this King Ming can really defeat the Dutch and dominate Nanyang, we can only make a living under his hands."

Luo Fangbo is not ambitious, and he has a clear view of his own strength.

Zhu Daohua beheaded two thousand Dutch soldiers in one battle.

Just such a force.

It's not that his Lanfang Luo family can compete.

"Duke Ming will definitely win!"

Luo Fangmei said loudly.

The Chinese in Borneo have suffered from the Dutch for a long time.

Most of the Chinese counted on Emperor Qianlong, who was sitting on the dragon chair in Beijing, to come forward to support them.

But Luo Fangbo had long since given up on this fantasy.

It is impossible for the Qing Dynasty to do anything for Han people like them.

Everything can be done by oneself, that's why Luo Fangbo took the lead in establishing this Lan Fangguo.

It's just that Lan Fangguo is a country, but it is extremely weak, and it can't compete with the natives of Nanyang and the Dutch at all.

And now.

If there is a Chinese leader who can order the heroes to appear.

Luo Fangbo did not hesitate to seek refuge.

This Luo Fangbo, in this era, can be regarded as a hero among the Nanyang Chinese.

"Fangmei, if King Ming wins, how about securing a matchmaker for you?"

"what"

Luo Fangmei was taken aback.

The eldest sister of the Luo family from West Borneo in Weizhen, Shuangxia immediately turned rosy.
