Chapter 12 The Republic of Lanfang

Lanfang Republic!!!

In this dark era full of slavery, what a beautiful and ideal Chinese world!!!

Hu Chuyuan has read a lot of online novels about this era and some introductions related to the Lanfang Republic, but when he talked with Ye Wenlan all night and learned more and more about the Lanfang Republic, he was very disappointed.

What kind of bird fart republic belongs to Yiyin, which is completely copied by the Chinese themselves and uses the translation of foreigners.

This is a Lanfang company.

To be more precise, the surname of Lanfang Company is the same as that of Xinyi'an Company in Hong Kong, which is more similar to Tiandihui. It is a Chinese underworld community, and the main opponent in the early years was Tiandihui.

A few decades ago, there were many Chinese associations in Nanyang Borneo and nearby islands, such as the more famous Dagang Company and Heshun Company, all of which were underworld, but later the underworld was mainly engaged in pornography, gambling and drugs, and now these associations are mainly engaged in gold mines and opium.

In the second year of Daoguang, that is, in 1822, Liu Taier, with the support of the Dutch East India Company, became the leader of the new generation of Lanfang Company, and accepted the title of "The Dutch Emperor Pardoned Lanfang Company". Since then, Lanfang Company has become a running dog of the Dutch.

With the support of the Dutch, Liu Taier defeated other Chinese associations one after another and expanded Lanfang's territory to the same size as Taiwan.

In 1854, the Dutch sent a regular colonial army, which was no longer the previous miscellaneous army and mercenaries. They directly wiped out various Chinese community companies. Only Lanfang Company remained and continued to develop gold mines in the East Wanlu area for the Dutch, but they had completely lost their autonomy over the power territory.

fart!!!

Hu Chuyuan was extremely disappointed, and the fire of hope that had just been lit was also extinguished.

However, he still plans to take a look. After all, seeing is believing!

After all, this is a very unique thing. Hu Chuyuan called Zhang Lingpu, who was about to return to Fuzhou, into his room, so that he was not in a hurry to go back for the time being and go to Yamaguchi together tomorrow.

"Yoko Yamaguchi?"

Zhang Lingpu couldn't help but be a little curious. He smiled and asked, "It turns out that adults also know that kind of place?"

Hu Chuyuan hummed and asked, "Are you familiar with that place?"

Zhang Lingpu couldn't help laughing again.

Hu Chuyuan asked slightly unhappily, "What's the matter? Is it ridiculous?"

Zhang Lingpu hurriedly apologized and said, "No, I just feel that I should have thought of it long ago. Since Ye Wenlan is here, I guess the owner will know about this matter sooner or later."

Hu Chuyuan felt even more strange, so he asked him, "Why?"

Zhang Lingpu replied, "It's very simple, because Ye Xiangyun, the son-in-law of Liu Asheng, the current president of Lanfang Company, is Ye Wenlan's cousin. It is said that he is quite close. In the early years, Ye Wenlan followed his uncle to Nanyang to do business. His uncle was Ye Tenghui... This man used to be the tenth president of Lanfang Association!"

Hu Chuyuan felt even more strange and asked, "So you know this matter very well. Why didn't you tell me before?"

Zhang Lingpu sighed, "There is nothing in Fujian, only the Hakka people. As long as it is the Hakka people, there are not many people who don't know that Lan Fang will. In the early years, many Hakka people would go to Nanyang to find Lanfang to dig gold. Few people are willing to go now, and they are almost beaten by foreigners.

Hu Chuyuan sighed and was not in a hurry to speak.

He closed the door and asked Zhang Lingpu to sit down and talk to himself carefully.

He said, "I thought it was an interesting place. It just so happens that I have always felt that the Chinese brothers in Nanyang are very bullied and often killed by the local indigenous people, so I want to make a difference in Nanyang with my financial resources. In addition, Bo Yin, I really want my own strength.

Zhang Lingpu nodded his head.

Because many Chinese "companies" were wiped out, the living environment of the Chinese in Borneo deteriorated sharply, and many Hakka and Minnan people returned to China one after another, bringing these news back.

Zhang Lingpu's understanding of Lanfang Company and the Nanyang area is far more complete and detailed than Hu Chuyuan.

He pondered for a moment and couldn't help saying to Hu Chuyuan, "Your Excellency, let's talk about the problem of the Chinese in the Southern Ocean. Let's shut the door and say that these things are quite hateful, and I can't wait to lead an army here to raz the Dutch and the indigenous people. However, let's talk about it in detail. In the final analysis, we still blame some Chinese. As far as I know, we Minnan people and Hakka have been active in the Southern Ocean since the Yuan Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, we were highly admired by the local chiefs. In the past hundred years, especially from the beginning of the Heaven and Earth Association, relying on my own little manpower, I want to take a place where I like it. If others don't give it to me, I immediately use the practice of rogue gangs, either robbing or fighting. I have done a lot of kidnapping tickets.

At this point, Zhang Lingpu could only shake his head helplessly and said, "Of course, the Dutch are not a good thing. For a small profit, they will instigate each other, either unite the indigenous people to beat the Chinese community, or unite the Chinese community to fight the indigenous people, killing around, and gradually it has become the current situation. In the past, Nanyang was full of Chinese clubs. Heshuntang and Tiandihui were very strong, and Lanfanghui was not bad, but now they have been beaten up, and the Chinese are scattered everywhere and bullied by others.

"So this is the case!"

Hu Chuyuan sighed silently. He could only say that... flies did not stare at seamless eggs.

No matter how the novels boast about Tiandihui, Heshuntang and Lanfang Republic, they still can't change their essential characteristics as underworld - profit-oriented.

I felt that what Zhang Lingpu and Ye Wenlan said were very different. Hu Chuyuan continued to ask, and gradually understood that Ye Wenlan actually told him a lot of key details - several generations of leading brothers of Lanfang's company were all Han Jun, specializing in cooperation with the Dutch.

The most hateful time was that more than 6,000 people in the Dagang Company could not stop the attack of the Dutch colonial army and were forced to retreat to the territory of Lanfang Company. Instead, they were attacked by the people of Lanfang Company and were all slaughtered by the enemy.

After listening to Zhang Lingpu say this, Hu Chuyuan quietly clenched his fists and sneered fiercely.

He thought that the bullshit Lanfang Republic is quite beautiful. Not to mention providing support to the Lanfang Republic, he now wants to organize an army to destroy Lanfang Company.

After thinking about it, Hu Chuyuan said coldly with hatred, "It seems that there is no need to go to Yamaguchi!"

Zhang Lingpu said, "I think I can go. Ye Wenlan didn't mean to lie to you, but there are some things that he can't say. Maybe there will be a turning point. After going to Yamaguchi, we can go to Shilongmen in Sarawak. I heard that there is also the power of Dagang Company.

Hu Chuyuan nodded slightly.

Although Lanfang Company is not worthy of praise, it has plummeted in Hu Chuyuan's heart and was demoted from the ideal country to the Han Jakudan, his ambition to plot in Nanyang has not diminish.

If Lanfang Company can't do it, he will go to Heshuntang. As long as he dares to fight with the Dutch, he is willing to fully support it.

After deciding on this matter, Hu Chuyuan called Yan Shizhang and Wu Shuzhen to the room, talked about Lanfang Company and Dagang Company, and the four people continued to discuss.

Zhang Lingpu's mind is still conservative. In fact, Hu Chuyuan and the three of them have anti-clear positions and ideas, but they generally don't know what to say.

Hearing this, Yan Shizhang and Wu Shuzhen also supported it.

Four people were discussing, and someone knocked outside the door.

Zhang Lingpu went to open the door. Ye Wenlan brought in a strong man in his thirties, wearing a suit. He looked like a rich businessman, but he was very strong and strong, with three slightly rustic gold rings in his hand.

"Your Excellency, it's a coincidence that this Mr. Ye Xiangyun Ye happens to be the guest chief of Lanfang Company, and he is a little related to me!"

Ye Wenlan enthusiastically introduced Hu Chuyuan and continued to explain, "Ye Kechang used to come to Singapore to sell goods with me, and he just came here today."

"Oh!"

Hu Chuyuan nodded slightly, arched his hand with Ye Xiangyun, and said, "I've been looking forward to your name for a long time, Chief Ye, please sit down!"

Ye Xiangyun clenched his fists and said, "The little one has seen Lord Hu. Thank you for sitting!"

Hu Chuyuan said, "You just came here. I always heard that the Chinese in Nanyang are often oppressed by foreigners and bullied by the indigenous people. Life is very bleak, so I want to go to Yamaguchi to check the truth. Since you are from Lanfang Company, you should know a lot about this, right?

Ye Xiangyun thought for a moment and replied respectfully, "To tell you the truth, our Lanfang company has always taken it as our responsibility to protect the rights and interests of the Chinese in Nanyang, and even did not hesitate to go to war with foreigners. The situation has been a little different over the years. The Dutch set up checkpoints everywhere, patrol the sea, taxed and inspected goods in the port, strictly prohibited arms, and did not allow new Chinese to move in. Our Lanfang company has been facing a blockade. In recent years, its strength has been greatly reduced, and it has long been unable to deal with foreigners. It can only be devoted to thieves. It is sad and lamentable.

Hu Chuyuan remained calm and looked at Zhang Lingpu quietly. Seeing that he did not show any dissatisfaction, he just smiled a little elusively.

Hu Chuyuan also smiled and asked Ye Xiangyun, "Is what you said true?"

Ye Xiangyun was suddenly proud and said, "Your Excellency, if there is a false word, the little one is willing to come to see you with a person's head."

Hu Chuyuan said, "That's not necessary. Things in the world can't be true or false. I have always advocated that Chinese people should control violence in Nanyang, and they need to master their strength and army to effectively protect themselves. I am in charge of Jiangnan Commercial Bank, and I have the right to trade arms and collect military funds. If you need it, I can help you some!"

As soon as he heard this, Ye Xiangyun was overjoyed and overjoyed. He immediately thanked him and said, "Thank you, my lord. Our colleagues, Lanfang, are very grateful. I am willing to serve you!"

Isn't the underworld like this?

If you have milk, you are a mother!!!

Hu Chuyuan smiled and said to Ye Xiangyun, "I dare not say that I will give you 10,000 high-quality foreign guns and millions of bullets. You don't have to work hard. Tell me the truth.

Ye Xiangyun was even more surprised and said, "Although our Lanfang company is not strong at present, there are still 20,000 to 30,000 brothers. At present, they are mainly gathered in Dongwanlv, mainly mining gold mining and farming. They can produce 6,000 taels of gold every year, and also produce Fushou paste...!"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Wenlan suddenly coughed.
