In fact, before Zhao Xin decided to take over Batavia, he had already considered the Lanfang Company that had been established 15 years ago. The reason why he did not contact these people was because he instinctively did not believe that it was a so-called "republic"

”.

We must know that in the middle of Qianlong's reign, there were more than thirty Chinese companies in West Borneo and Lanfang Company, and there were more than a dozen Huiyang Hakka companies in the area north of Nanbawa and east of Salvage Deer. The largest among these companies

It's not Lanfang, but the Heshun Alliance headed by Dagang Company.

Of course, Zhao Xin believes that some people in later generations said that Lanfang Company was born out of the Tiandihui, which is pure nonsense! Referring to the records of the Beihai Town Public Security Police Department’s inquiries about the remnants of the Tiandihui who defected, Luo Fangbo found that in the 30th year of Qianlong’s reign, Luo Fangbo

When he left his hometown for Borneo in the seventh year, Tixi's son Zheng Ji was still making money by opening a night casino, and the Tiandihui had not spread to eastern Guangdong.

It is said that since the death of King Li of Zhou in 828 BC, the two public servants of Zhou and Zhao established Prince Jing as king, who was Queen Xuan of Zhou. In China's more than two thousand years of feudal history, there has never been a time when "two people have the final say".

The idea that "the emperor takes orders from heaven, and the world takes orders from the emperor" has been engraved in the bones of Chinese people in the feudal era. That is to say, one thing is the same!

Now suddenly a talented scholar from Guangdong appears who has failed many times and went to Borneo to pan for gold. After a lot of beatings and kicks, and a bloody battle with a bunch of illiterate people, this person suddenly became enlightened and said that I can speak alone.

It doesn't work. I want to decentralize power and let everyone sit down and discuss it together. Is it possible?

Not to mention Luo Fangbo couldn't do it, not even Zhao Xin could do it. Even though he knew very well that his abilities were limited, and often traveled between two time and space, and was infected by the modern atmosphere from time to time, his desire to "speak one word" could not be compared to anyone else's.

All heavy!

"Guanzi" says: "If the advantage comes from one hole, his country will be invincible; if he has two holes, his troops will not be able to defeat him; if he has three holes, he cannot raise his troops; if he has four holes, his country will be destroyed."

What I am talking about is the pros and cons of centralization and decentralization. Even in modern times, the boss of any company does not want to have someone who is an equal to him; his subordinates can make suggestions, but it is not up to me whether to use them or not.

Zhao Xin felt that Luo Fangbo had not gone from being brought to the throne to being canonized. If he had been, he would have made him a king, and then he would have summoned the legitimate son of the first wife from Guangdong and passed it down from generation to generation.

The reason why these countries in Southeast Asia are crying and shouting that they want to be vassalized by Qing Dynasty, and even like Ruan Guangping, who even went to celebrate Qianlong's birthday after winning the battle, is because they are just and destined.

However, the problem was that Luo Fangbo was not paid attention to by the leader. In addition, the Sultan of Pontianak was watching covetously inside and the Dutch were aggressive outside. It was impossible for Luo Fangbo to establish himself as king, so he could only make the general system to death.

Not long after Zhao Xin returned to his residence, the previous officer brought the person he was looking for. It was none other than Huang Zhongtong, He Xiwen's hard-core subordinate.

Zhao Xin pointed to the chair in front of him and said with a smile: "Here we go, sit down and talk."

Huang Zhongtong said hurriedly: "I don't dare to do this for a humble job! If you have anything to do, just give me your orders."

Although when he cooperated with the Northern Navy to attack the Hue Palace, Huang Zhongtong had met Zhao Xin and knew that he had no airs and was quite easy-going. However, in his limited understanding, Zhao Xin was going to be the emperor in the future, the real Dragon Emperor. .Who dares to sit down and reply in front of the Emperor?

Zhao Xin smiled and did not force himself, and continued: "I came to see you because I heard that you are very careful in your work. Now there is something important that I need to ask you to do."

"Yes." Huang Zhongtong was extremely excited, thinking that King Zhao personally gave him the task. This is a great opportunity!

"Take a few people to West Borneo and check out the details of Lan Fang Company and Uncle Luo Fang for me."

Huang Zhongtong saluted and said, "Yes! I will investigate this as soon as possible."
