 Trunozzo talked eloquently and was quite a celebrity.

Guo Lin said nothing, observed carefully, and secretly analyzed this person.

His skin is tanned and he is short and stocky, which means that this person often makes a living outside. He calls himself a businessman, so he should be true. He speaks fluent Chinese and can quote scriptures, which means that although he is not a prince, his family should be relatively wealthy so that he can be well treated.

Wearing Hanfu and holding a folding fan, he came here. He wanted to win the favor of Ming Dynasty. Well, he was a scheming person. Finally, Guo Qin envoy found that this man had calluses on his hands, which showed that he had been wielding swords and guns for a long time.

As a result. Have you ever been a pirate? Pirates are good and they have soldiers in their hands, just for me!

In fact, he thought wrong. This person was really not a pirate. He had just been doing business on ships for many years. In order to prevent thieves, he had developed good martial arts skills.

The Materan Kingdom was originally a powerful country east of Batavia, and it used to be considered a local hegemon. All this came to an abrupt end after the arrival of the East India Company's warships. After the Dutch gained a foothold, they continued to expand, or

Direct invasion, or turn the surrounding small countries into vassals and puppets. Now, near Batavia, the Banten Kingdom has been completely annexed, and its king has lost all power and can only rely on others; the Matalan Kingdom has also been beaten to nothing.

With half life left, they had to become vassals of the company, pay taxes to them, provide mercenaries, and allow them to do business, preach, and live.

Today's King Goulart of the Matalan Kingdom has been in power for twenty-six years, and he should have some authority. But the older he gets, the more confused he becomes. When the Dutch come over, you have to resist. If you do resist, you will have to fight every battle.

After losing, they became frightened when they lost. In the end, they simply signed a lot of unequal treaties and became a vassal of the East India Company. Originally, Mataram was a commercial country and controlled the nearby maritime trade. After becoming a vassal, it lost its maritime transportation.

Control, trade diminishes, production declines, and national power declines.

The loss of control over shipping and the decline in trade volume were a huge blow to merchants like Trunozoyo. King Panagulat was also a person who pursued enjoyment and was obsessed with life and money. In order to satisfy his luxurious life, he repeatedly asked for money.

The subjects levied heavy taxes. If anyone dared to resist, severe punishments were imposed. The invasion of colonists, coupled with tyranny and excessive taxes, left the country on the crater. The people missed King Langsang when he was alive.

days, longing for someone to lead them to restore the great cause of King Langsang.

Yes, there have been heroes in Ma Daran. The first three kings were all heroes, especially King Langsang, who was a great hero for a while!

The founder of the country, Sennapati, was originally a lord of the Bazhang Kingdom. In 1586, he destroyed the Bazhang Kingdom, moved the capital from Bazhang to Kerta, established the Matalan Kingdom, expanded its territory, and was a heroic lord!
The second King Zorang, after quelling the domestic rebellion, continued to expand the territory and destroyed the Tammu Kingdom. He successively captured many places. After the territory expanded, he changed the capital of the country to Pasha Gede. He is also a heroic lord!

The third King Langsang conquered the non-subordinates, further expanded the territory, captured many places in Swimming, Madura and Cirebon, and extended his power to many neighboring countries. What the people talk about most is that this person

He dared to show his sword to the colonists and led a large army to attack Batavia twice in an attempt to drive away the Dutch. Although he failed, it made the East India Company afraid of the idea of ​​attacking the blue country. He also focused on developing the domestic economy and encouraged

Inter-island trade. In order to strengthen centralization, the feudal system was changed to the Patti system (i.e. the provincial system), prefects were set up in various places to govern, laws were formulated, and the calendar was improved. What a great hero!

In short, during the era of King Langsang, Mataram was a powerful country, the people had enough to eat, and no foreign enemies dared to invade.

When King Langsang died and King Goulart succeeded to the throne, he only carried out massive construction projects and imposed exorbitant taxes. The happiness of the people plummeted, and they were defeated in every battle. They were defeated by the Dutch, and the great country became a slave of the East India Company.

Vassal. No problem, King Goulart is very thick-skinned. Shipping rights, trade rights, missionary rights, tax collection rights, military recruitment rights, protection fees?? Give the Dutch whatever they want, as long as they can keep their throne.<

/p>

There are foreigners outside and tyranny inside. The direct consequence of economic decline, declining trade, and the decline of the country is that ordinary people like Truno Zoyo can no longer survive.

Trunozzo rarely had great ambitions and was good at martial arts. The person he admired most in his life was King Langsang. Seeing that the country had declined like this, his own business was also in decline, and he suffered serious losses. He became worried and planned to launch a campaign.

Revolt, eradicate the tyrant, and restore the country's power as it was during the reign of King Langsang.

This person has always been affectionate and loyal. He has a large group of friends around him who are all generous and tragic heroes. When they see him wanting to do something, they are all willing to respond. These days, it is difficult to make a living. If you want to rebel, there is no shortage of people. However, there is a shortage of money.

Weapons.

As a businessman, Trunozzo was well-informed and knew how to enjoy the shade under a big tree. He wanted to find a powerful country to join him as a foreign aid to the rebel army. He heard that the Ming Dynasty envoy had been coming to Batavia for several months and wanted to help him.

The merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty fought for equal tax rates for passage through the strait, but the governor of the barbarians refused. I couldn't help but feel ecstatic: This barbarian was too crazy, and dared to refuse the request of the Ming Dynasty. That was a majestic dynasty, a great country that ruled over all nations!
p>

He immediately wanted to attach himself to the Ming Dynasty and deal with the East India Company. So, he went to Batavia with all kinds of hardships, bribed the guards, and asked to see the Ming Dynasty envoy. Unexpectedly, the envoy turned out to be a snobbery, and only wanted to communicate with the princes and nobles.

When dealing with people, we don’t care about ordinary people like him.

Truno Zoyo felt angry and mocked Guo Lin.

As the leader of the Jin Yiwei, Guo Lin naturally has a keen eye for who can be used and who is not. He listened patiently to the other party's story, and the more he listened, the kinder his expression became. When he heard that the other party had connected thousands of people,

The men and horses planned to revolt against the Dutch, and their old faces turned into flowers. They no longer had the arrogance before, but were replaced by warmth, kindness, and even a bit of fawning.

"Oh my god, Mr. Guo is too blind to see Taishan. He didn't know that you are actually a hero from the Matalan Kingdom! You plan to rebel, eradicate tyranny, and fight for national power. You are really a great hero, and you are worthy of being a hero.

'Two words. Please accept Guo's greetings!" He bowed sincerely.

The way to be a high official is to be able to take things and put them down. Why does the word "face" matter?

Seeing that he was guarding the front and the rear respectfully, Trunozzo felt much better. He bowed deeply and asked: "I want to do something, but I lack guns, artillery, armor and weapons. Please help me, angels!"

"Easy to say, easy to say." Guo Lin rolled her eyes and asked with a smile: "If Ming Dynasty supports your uprising, how can you repay Ming Dynasty?"

What, isn’t the Ming Dynasty a celestial kingdom that emphasizes benevolence and righteousness? How can you help others and still repay them?

Trunozoyo was shocked, suppressed his displeasure, and asked: "What does the angel want?"

Guo Lin didn't panic, found the map, and said on it: "After the completion of the matter, please send Sishui City to the Ming Dynasty to garrison troops, and to declare vassal status to the Ming Dynasty."
