Chapter 155 Pontianak Port (Please subscribe!!!)

When the escort group arrived at the gate of Dongwanlu City, there were still traces of blood on the ground.

Zhong Yilin stood among the guards and looked up at the city head, and found that the yellow flag of Lanfang Company was still fluttering in the wind.

When the pigtailed rebels at the top of the city noticed Zhong Yilin's arrival, they immediately started making a noise, "Representative Zhong is here. Go tell Brother Liang and Brother Luo."

Not long after, the sound of the city gate was heard, and then two young men of about the same height, one strong and one thin, walked out side by side.

"Liang Luyi and Luo Yibo, who are members of Lanfang Company, have met Representative Zhong."

The sturdy man is Liang Luyi, and the thinner one is Luo Yibo.

Both of these two men were good men who fought against foreign invaders. In the original time and space, the Dutch came to force them into the palace.

Liu Asheng's children prevented the citizens of the city from resisting, and followed Liu Enguan to flee to Sumatra Island with their family members and belongings.

Li Yuchang, Liang Luyi and Luo Yibo were angry at being enslaved and oppressed by the Dutch, and gathered more than 100,000 Chinese people to jointly fight against foreign aggression.

The situation was good for the first two years, and the Dutch were beaten and fled.

After the Dutch had arrived with reinforcements, they still did not dare to attack rashly.

Since they can't beat them head-on, they'll come in and buy the traitors.

The resistance led by everyone was therefore suppressed by the Dutch.

Li Yuchang and Liang Luyi went to Kuala Lumpur, but they still did not forget to restore the country.

They intended to seek help from the local Chinese leaders. The Chinese leaders in Kuala Lumpur were afraid of the Dutch power and did not dare to help.

When Li Yuchang died, he still left his last words, "If Lan Fang is gone, I will never return to the Central Plains."

Liang Luyi eventually died of grief and anger.

Luo Yibo continued to stay in Borneo to resist the Dutch until 1888. He was informed by a traitor and eventually died of running out of ammunition and food.

……

Zhong Yilin looked at the two of them, cupped his fists and raised his hands, "Thank you for your hard work, two heroes!"

"Representative Xiao Zhong, this is a letter from Manager Zeng."

Liang Luyi handed over a letter directly.

Zhong Yilin opened the letter and checked it. The letter said that Zeng Ze had returned to Pontianak Port.

Wait for him to lead his army over and seize Pontianak Port as soon as possible. By then, the company will have reinforcements and weapons shipped.

After reading it, Zhong Yilin put the letter away and stuffed it into his pocket, then followed the two of them into the city.

During the journey, they found that the city had not suffered much damage. The blood stains on the road were still there, but the corpses and other things had been restrained.

Along the way, the city was in order and there was no chaos, which made Zhong Yilin feel at ease.

"Where's Vice Commander Li?"

The slightly thinner Luo Yibo said hesitantly: "Vice Commander Li closed the door at home to thank guests. We went to invite him last night, but he refused to go out and only asked us to invite you."

When Zhong Yilin heard this, he immediately stopped and said, "Let's go to Deputy Controller Li's house first."

After Zhong Yilin finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards Li Yuchang's house. Liang Luyi and Luo Yibo looked at each other and had no choice but to follow.

A group of people arrived in front of a mansion in the center of the city.

The bronze nails on Guangliang's gate look like they are there, and the two stone lions are lifelike and huge.

Zhong Yilin winked at Qiu Fu, who stepped forward and slapped the door knocker.

"Dangdang~~~"

After knocking for a while, someone came to open the door. It was an old woman. After taking a peek outside the door, she asked timidly: "Who are you looking for?"

"I am Zhong Yilin, chief representative of Nanhua Company, here to pay a visit to Vice President Li."

After hearing this, the old woman looked at Zhong Yilin, and then whispered: "Please wait a moment."

Not long after, the door opened. Li Yuchang was still wearing a long robe and mandarin jacket, and the bags under his eyes were dark and large.

"Xiao Zhong is here on your behalf. Now you can only rely on you to take charge of the overall situation in this city. It's time for you to visit the old lady. Why are you here?"

Zhong Yilin clasped his fists and raised his hands, "Deputy Commander Li, this is embarrassing me. I am young and immoral, how can I shoulder such a heavy responsibility?

In my opinion, it would be better to ask Vice Commander Li to be promoted to the position of Commander-in-Chief. My Yue family and I are willing to serve as Commander-in-Chief Li's subordinates. "

The pain on Li Yuchang's face became even more bitter when he heard this, "What are you saying, Representative Xiao Zhong? I, Li Yuchang, dare to swear to God that I will only be loyal to Lanfang Company in this life, and will not be foolishly loyal to one family or one name, nor will I be that greedy for power." Person of position.

The volunteers in the city killed hundreds of Dutch soldiers. If we and other Lanfang survivors were still the main ones, they would naturally not be able to withstand the heavy demands of the Dutch.

Although you are young, you have Nanhua Company behind you.

For the current plan, the overall situation should be given priority. Xiao Zhong will come to the position on your behalf. This way, you can take advantage of Nanhua Company and the Dutch will not dare to embarrass you. This matter can still be solved, and you just need to spend some money. "

After saying this, Li Yuchang immediately raised his hands and clasped his fists, "Representative Xiao Zhong, please save me, the people of this city!"

Seeing this, Zhong Yilin stopped pretending and grabbed Li Yuchang's big hand, "I need Deputy Commander Li's help for today's matter."

Li Yuchang continued to clasp his fists and said: "As long as the little bell means that we, Lanfang Guozuo, will not be destroyed, Li Yuchang will go all out."

After receiving this promise, Zhong Yilin felt truly at ease, and the two of them walked towards the Governor's Mansion together.

……

When they arrived outside the general manager's house, Liu's private soldiers saw Zhong Yilin and Li Yuchang arriving hand in hand, but they did not dare to stop them and let them in.

Qiu Fu followed with dozens of guards.

Passing by Luo Fangbo's portrait, Zhong Yilin raised his hands in front of his chest and muttered silently: "Master Luo, on behalf of my Nanhua Company, Zhong Yilin promises that your Lanfang Guozuo will not be extinguished. I only ask you to bless this boy all the best!"

After praying, Li Yuchang also bowed.

Representatives from various families had already gathered in the hall. Seeing the arrival of Zhong Yilin and Li Yuchang, everyone respectfully said: "We respectfully invite Representative Xiao Zhong to ascend the throne of the Tang Dynasty to relieve the difficulties of the people in our city."

Seeing all the representatives of the families present, Zhong Yilin was no longer humble.

He announced loudly in front of everyone: "Because the Dutch were so ambitious that they killed my father-in-law, uncle, brother-in-law, and relatives of the Liu family. It would be difficult for me not to avenge this revenge. I want to raise troops to avenge the Dutch. What do you think of the representatives?" "

After hearing Zhong Yilin's words, all the representatives were a little surprised and did not dare to comply. On the contrary, Liang Luyi and Luo Yibo in the crowd raised their hands excitedly, "Agree, kill all the red-haired Dutch ghosts!"

Zhong Yilin knew what the representatives were worried about. He took out the letter from his pocket and said again: "Our Nanhua Company is fully prepared. As long as all the representatives are united with our Nanhua Company, we will be able to drive away the Dutch ghost.

Give me back the old territory of Lanfang Company. Do you have the courage to fight with me? "

Li Yuchang didn't expect that this representative Xiao Zhong was so brave. He didn't know whether it would be a blessing or a curse to have a reckless fight with him.

But the current situation is that no matter whether Dongwanlu City does it or not, the Dutch will not let them go.

So he felt cruel and gritted his teeth and shouted: "Revenge, we swear to avenge the former commander-in-chief!"

Following Li Yuchang's lead, other families also raised their hands, and gradually everyone's voices blended into one voice, "Revenge, kill the red-haired Dutch ghost!"

……

On that day, Lanfang Company gathered ten thousand people and attacked Pontianak Port in a mighty manner. The defenders of Pontianak Port were already sparse. Yesterday, more than half of them were transferred to Dongwanlu City to force the palace.

Therefore, as soon as the Lanfang Company's army arrived, Pontianak Port changed hands directly.

Port Management Director Eddie Van Halen was killed by angry Lanfang Company personnel, and his property was also confiscated.

All the proceeds went to the public treasury of Nanhua Commercial House, worth more than 30 Dutch guilders.

The yellow flag of Lanfang Company fluttered over Pontianak Port, and its reputation was suddenly great.

Ten days later, the "Anhai Town" sailed into Pontianak Port. This time, in addition to a large number of weapons and equipment, soldiers from the First Battalion of the Namib Garrison Regiment arrived with the ship. The leader of the team was Yan Han, the leader of the Namib Garrison Regiment.

When the "Anhai Town" returned, it carried a large number of family members and belongings of various factions in Dongwanlu City. At the same time, more than ten members of the Liu family were also transported back to Mapu Port.
