The Nanyang strategy is a century-old plan related to the development of the Han Dynasty. Songkhla and Lanfang are both important links in the Nanyang strategy. The layout and planning of the Han Dynasty in various parts of Nanyang are based on the international changes in the next few decades to a hundred years.

According to the plan, Lanfang Company is located in the northwest of Borneo Island, across the sea from the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra Island. It is a nail for Chinese immigrants to enter the East Indies.

Stabilizing the political situation in Lanfang and preventing the Dutch colonists from annexing the Lanfang Company has important strategic significance in the long run.

In the next thirty to forty years, the First World War broke out, and the basis of rule of Britain, France, and the Netherlands in Nanyang was weakened, and local indigenous nationalism in Nanyang rose. If we can take advantage of the opportunity, when the strength of the Han Dynasty increases,

Using Lanfang and Songkhla as bridgeheads, we expanded the scope of the two Chinese regimes and brought the central part of the Malay Peninsula, including Penang, Kedah, Perak and other areas under the rule of the Wu family in Songkhla, creating a land area of ​​more than 100,000

square kilometers of the Chinese country on the Malay Peninsula. At the same time, relying on the Chinese population advantage in Borneo Island, they are looking for opportunities to integrate the Dutch Borneo colony and Sulawesi into a Chinese country. In this way, World War I and the following

After the end of World War II, after more than 70 years of development in terms of area, population, economy, politics, and industry, the Han State was roughly estimated to be able to reach the level of the first-class great powers. Then, with the help of the control and influence of the two Chinese countries in Nanyang, the Han State could be

The country's power extended from French Polynesia, Samoa, Peiji and other strongholds in the South Pacific to Southeast Asia and East Asia, establishing the pattern of great power competition in the second half of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century.

Expanding from the inside out, using the last two decades of the late 19th century to recuperate and develop the local comprehensive strength is the first plan of the century-old national policy. Guided by the goals of the "National Policy", the Taiping Society under the command of Liang Xing adheres to a low profile,

With a secret code of conduct, they silently provide meticulous and precise services for the country's overall exhibition.

Lan Fang came to contact the Lord of Songkhla, making it clear that he wanted to build a relationship with Wu Jin first, and then rely on Wu Jin to build a bridge to get in touch with the Nanyang Army.

There were people in the court who were easy to do, and Liang Xing understood the thoughts of the Chinese Lan Fang, so he simply followed Wu Jin to meet them, which would save them unnecessary calculations and planning.

"Everyone, this is Mr. Liang from the Han Dynasty. I heard that you are Nanyang talents who came to Songkhla to invest and do business. Mr. Liang came here specially to meet you."

Wu Jin and Liang Xing walked into the living room. After briefly introducing Liang Xing's identity and origin, Wu Jin looked at the seven people who stood up to greet them and said, "The four patriarchs Luo, Chen, Jiang, and Gu have a hundred years of family history.

Years ago, Lanfang Company was established by the ancestors of the four family owners, and the other three family owners are also virtuous people of Lanfang, and are highly respected by the Chinese in Nanyang."

"Mr. Wu, I praise you very much. You, the lords and generals of the Nanyang Legion are the great heroes and heroes among the Nanyang Chinese. How can we, a country and vulgar people like you, dare to compare with you."

A Chinese businessman from Lanfang bowed and curtsied, saying: "I heard that His Highness the King of Han led the heroes to defeat the British and foreign armies. We overseas survivors were very happy and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of His Highness the King of Han to marry a wife and the Lord of Songkhla to unify the Malay Peninsula.

, donated a sum of military pay to express my feelings, but I didn’t expect to see Mr. Liang here. If I had known that Mr. Liang was coming, I would have prepared a generous gift to honor Mr. Liang. "

"Overseas Chinese are all one family, so Master Zhou doesn't need to be so polite."

Liang Xing chuckled lightly, called everyone to take their seats, and said, "I and Lord Wucheng have agreed on your wishes, but the indigenous forces in the five regions of Yela, Tao Gong, Pattani, Kelantan, and Songkhla only need three to four thousand troops."

That’s it, the war is expected to be resolved within twenty days, and City Lord Wu has prepared ample supplies of food and grass in advance, so there is no need to waste your money.”

"When marching and fighting, you have to spend money everywhere. An extra amount of money can be used as military supplies, but it can also provide an extra guarantee. Don't you think so, Lord Wu?"

"Master Liang, since it's hard to refuse such kindness, how about accepting their money?"

There was no reason to withdraw the money that was brought to him. After cooperating with Liang Xing and making some gestures, Wu Jin turned to Liang Xing and asked.

"You are sincere and sincere, Mr. Liang will not harm your kindness, so I will temporarily accept your salary and repay your kindness one by one after the war is over."

"As it should be, it is an honor for us to be able to do our best for City Master Wu and Lord Liang."

Luo Yibo expressed his position on behalf of the other six people, "Master Liang, Lord Wu, this is the list of ticket numbers for seven families with a total of 1 million taels of silver. The silver is all placed in the inn at Songkhla Port. A little later, I will ask the accompanying guy

We gave you the money to move to the city lord's palace, what do you think?"

"There's no need to go to such trouble. Let's find two guys to lead the way. City Master Wu and I will each send a team of soldiers to the inn. Just move the money away and save your guys from having to work hard."

"Everything depends on Mr. Liang's arrangement."

After giving away the money, Luo Yibo felt relieved, and after chatting with everyone, Luo Yibo took the lead in proposing the real purpose of coming to Songkhla.

I have always admired the officers and soldiers of the Nanyang Army. When Master Mei sent someone to contact Lanfang Company six years ago, the other six family heads and I all supported the establishment of a cooperative relationship with the Nanyang Army. However, due to the obstruction of Liu Asheng and his son, the cooperation was not reached in the end.

.

In recent years, the Liu family and his son have become closer and closer to the Dutch. The six family heads and I have been secretly suppressed by him because we supported Lanfang's cooperation with the Nanyang Army and went against his will. Now the combined strength of the seven families

Compared with six years ago, it had been weakened by at least 30%. Except for the generals of the Nanyang Army, no one inside or outside Nanyang could stop the Liu family and his son from betraying the Lanfang Company and seeking allegiance from the Dutch.

Mr. Liang, we know that we have done something wrong before, and we do not dare to ask for the full support of the Nanyang Army. However, for the sake of all of us being overseas Chinese, I hope you can help the 300,000 Chinese people in Lanfang without asking for anything.

It’s very helpful. As long as you agree to sell us 300 breech-loading rifles, the price will be decided by the Nanyang Army, and we will never bargain."

"We also know some of the evil things Liu Asheng and his son did. It was only after listening to the Luo family leader today that we realized that the situation of Lanfang Company has deteriorated to such an extent."

Liang Xing sighed and said, "The Nanyang Army has no shortage of three to five hundred breech-loading rifles, but the armed forces and hundreds of muskets controlled by the Seven Families alone may not be able to bring down the Liu family and his son."

"Please give me some advice, Mr. Liang."

"I can't say I'm giving you advice, I'm just pointing out a clear path for you."

Liang Xingyu slowed down and continued, "In today's era of great strife, Nanyang has undergone drastic changes in just a few years. Annan, Vientiane, Funan, and the East Indies cannot escape the fate of the kingdom. Lanfang Company faces enemies on three sides. If it wants to maintain its current autonomy,

To deal with the situation, we must eradicate the pro-Dutch forces such as the Liu family and his son, and at the same time reorganize the armaments, purchase weapons and equipment from outside and equip the troops, and prepare in advance to resist the invasion of the Dutch colonists."

"Thank you Lord Liang for your advice. If we can eliminate the Liu family and take control of Lanfang, we will surely seize the entire territory of Lanfang Company, including the South American Han Kingdom."

Lanfang Company didn't have many things that could be used as bargaining chips. Realizing the true intention behind Liang Xing's words, Luo Yibo could only use the entire Lanfang Company to impress him.

"There is no need to annex the Han Kingdom, but if Lanfang Company wants to get help from the Nanyang Army, it must agree to three conditions."

"Sir, please tell me."

"Once the political system of Lanfang Company was changed and the rule of the Liu family and his son was overthrown, Lanfang Company established the position of king after Songkhla. Your internal families will select several candidates, and finally His Highness will determine the suitable candidate for the position.

Second, reorganize Lanfang's army and establish a standing army with a size of about 3,000 people. Weapons, equipment and military instructors will be provided by Han. Lanfang will use mineral resources to pay for the purchase of weapons and equipment. Of course, Han will sell weapons to Lanfang at preferential prices.

ammunition.

3. To carry out economic, military reform, diplomatic and military actions based on the Han system, the Nanyang Army must be notified in advance, and the Nanyang Army and Lanfang will ultimately discuss and decide on the action plan."

Agreeing to Liang Xing's conditions will also cause Lanfang to lose its independent economic, military, and political autonomy. However, compared with what is lost, at least the Han State will not annex Lanfang. The political interests of Lanfang's upper ruling class will not be annexed.

Economic interests can be preserved, and the most important point is to abandon the unconventional Lanfang company system and become a hereditary king. That is not the actual ruler of Lanfang. In the future, Lanfang becomes independent or upgraded to a principality or kingdom, then

At that time, he, Luo Yibo, was the legitimate lord of the country!

Considering the bad reputation left by the Dutch massacre of Chinese and the conditions that Liang Xing tailor-made for him to change the political system of Lanfang, Luo Yibo believed that with the influence and appeal of the Luo family and himself, if the matter was accomplished

, it will definitely be him who ascends to the high position of Lanfang’s hereditary rule!

After lowering his head and thinking silently for about twenty minutes, he raised his head and found that everyone else's eyes were focused on him. Luo Yibo solemnly promised, "We can accept all the conditions proposed by Mr. Liang, but in the hands of the Luo family and the other six families, there is a lack of ability."

The experts are very useful, I hope you will send a group of people as soon as possible to help us deal with the Liu family and his son."

"This is not difficult. Brother A-Chen has a group of military experts dispatched from the mainland. If they take action, as long as you can provide accurate information about the daily travels of the Liu family and his son, it will be easy to kill the Liu family and his son."

Liang Xing smiled calmly.
