Chapter 916: Named King of Banten

At the beginning of China's modern history, since the beginning of the Tablet War, the Europa people squeezed a large amount of China's wealth through the export of tablets, and China also became a semi-colonial country because of the tablet production, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a country ruined.

Now the opportunity has come, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth There is nothing to say, shameless Europa, Europa, who will do everything for the accumulation of capital, have you ever thought that there will be a day when karma will be reincarnated, and retribution will be unhappy?

Although the history of the use of tablets dates back to the third millennium BC, it is still not widely used by humans, which is a good opportunity, and it seems that the Europa people did not know how powerful this thing is.

Liu Hong gradually didn't think about making money by pressing tablets, after all, he had more means to earn silver, as long as the technology remained crushed, Da Ming could pinch the Europa people round and then pinch them flat at any time.

There are two ways to ensure the leading edge of science and technology, one is to speed up the scientific and technological research and development of one's own country, and the other is to obstruct the scientific and technological research and development of hostile countries.

The former Liu Hongjian will naturally urge, as for the latter...... Hehe, tablet pressing is a dimensionality reduction attack.

Liu Honggradually planned to package this thing as a high-end product that only the aristocratic class could enjoy, and he wanted to paralyze the aristocratic class by pressing tablets as much as possible, slowly slowing down or even stagnating the superstructure of a country.

It's best to upgrade the tablet to a version, otherwise this thing is not easy to fool and the Europa people will also know.

However, it seems that it is a bit difficult to further process and purify, so is it possible to think of a way to change this thing into a color, such as black to white? Yellow?

Well...... At worst, you have to make cigarettes, even if you can't make paper-making technology, you have to make cigars, aren't the aristocratic class rich? The cigarette pouch pot is too cheap, and it must be disposable.

That's right, it's a cigar! The idea of making it a must-have for high-end people couldn't be great!

Liu Hong gradually sat on the throne of the Governor's Mansion and squinted his eyes and fell into obscenity, scaring the bull mallet on the side, and said in his heart, "Master, what's wrong?"

I was furious just now, and I wanted to beat the tablet into the eighteenth layer of hell, but now I was holding a piece of tablet and smirking, I'm afraid I'm not crazy, right?

"Master, master?" Niu Dabang gently patted Liu Hongji's shoulder and said.

"Huh?" Liu Hong gradually returned to reality from the dream in a trance, and he glanced at the bull mallet to condemn the dream that disturbed him.

"That prince of Banten wants to see you! Just wait outside! Niu Dabang didn't care, and pointed outside.

The palace of Bandan has long been abandoned, forgotten by the Dutch in the south of the city, the palace area is not large and half demolished, but the people of Bandan do not dislike it at all, after getting Liu Hongji's permission, Harold immediately took his men to the palace to clean up.

Harold didn't mind that there were so many Ming troops in the city, on the contrary, he thought that the Ming army could still provide security for them, after all, the little guard in his hand was really not enough.

"Let them in!" Liu Hong gradually asked his subordinates to take away the pressed tablets on the table, and then waved his hand.

Five or six Wandan people dressed in black official uniforms surrounded Harold and entered the governor's palace, Liu Hong gradually sat on the main seat, and on either side were Qi Yuangong, Zheng Sen, Lin He and others.

After Harold and the others entered, they saluted Liu Hong, looked around and sat down at the head of Lin He, and the rest of the subordinates stood behind Harold.

"Honorable lord, the Dutch have all been killed, and on behalf of the more than three million Wandan, I once again thank Da Ming for his help." Harold stood up and bowed in thanks.

Montel, as the interpreter, also got up and saluted and repeated Harold's words.

"It's just a gesture, I don't know why His Highness Harold came?" Liu Hong gradually waved his hand and motioned for Harold to sit down and speak.

Harold seemed a little embarrassed when he heard this, and Montell helped Harold to sit down, walked to Liu Hongji's side and said:

"My lord, it is like this, the last king of Banten died in anger twenty years ago, and His Royal Highness Harold swore at that time that he would slaughter the Dutch pigs in the year of sound to avenge the former king and the oppressed people of Banten, otherwise he would not be crowned for life.

Now that the Dutch invaders have fallen, the people of Banten cannot live without a king, and these vassals want His Highness Harold to ascend the throne as soon as possible. Montel whispered to Liu Hong.

"Oh, that's a good thing! Haven't all your palaces been cleaned? Do you still need the king's help? "Liu Hongjian should be the matter, this is His Excellency the Crown Prince can't wait to ascend the throne.

"Back to the prince, His Royal Highness Harold wants to ask you to preside over the enthronement ceremony!" Montel said solemnly.

Coronating a king and its glory cannot be done unless a person who is in power with high morality and respect, and Banten is a *** country, so it is even more important in this regard.

Let Liu Hong gradually preside over this matter must be to express his heartfelt feelings to the suzerain, in fact, the appointment of the king of the subject country must also be approved by the suzerain.

"This is a trivial matter, this king should be down, but when are you going to hold it?" Liu Hong said casually.

The king of the subject country belongs to the level of the county king in the Ming title system, and the status is below the emperor and prince, and it is more accurate to say that in addition to the emperor in the title system in China, it is the king, the duke, the marquis, the uncle, etc.

Later, in order to distinguish the status, the first level of the king was divided into two levels, that is, the one-character king and the two-character king, and the king of Yan and Qin belonged to the first-class king, and it was also the highest title except for the emperor.

The King of Joseon and the King of Banten belong to the second level, but compared with the princes and princes of the Ming Dynasty, although the status of the King of Joseon and the King of Banten is not high, their power and territory are much more powerful than the Ming princes in the mainland.

In Liu Hongji's opinion, as a prince with a feudal country, there is no problem in giving a county king the entire canonization ceremony.

It's just that Liu Hongjian didn't plan to stop in Batavia for more, and his end point was not here at all, and after dealing with the inheritance of the East India Company, he planned to immediately move west to capture Malacca, which would take about two to three days.

"Don't, adults! The title of the prince must be discussed by the cabinet and His Majesty, so that it violates the ancestral system and may be criticized by hundreds of officials! As soon as Qi Yuangong heard that Liu Hong was so relaxed, he agreed, and quickly got up and reminded.

"This place is tens of thousands of miles away from the capital, and it takes three or four months to go back and forth, and now you have seen the situation here, since the king of Bantan is my Ming vassal country, this king will definitely help him stabilize the situation here, and the king will write a song to explain to the emperor, it's not a big deal, retreat!" Liu Hong gradually waved his hand.

"But ......" Qi Yuangong was still not sure, he felt that Liu Hong's honesty and violation of the Ming ancestral system was very inappropriate.

"But a bastard, do you know how many islands there are in the South Seas? How many soldiers in the Ming Dynasty can be dispatched? This king opened up the South Sea route for trade! Liu Hong gradually said undoubtedly.

I really want to know how easy it is to colonize the world, I don't know how many soldiers will have to take their lives to fill it, and who can stop the national awakening and independence crisis in the future?

Isn't he fragrant to open up routes to earn silver?

Liu Hongjian didn't care about Qi Yuangong's advice at all, he thought that Qi Yuangong wanted to occupy this land, but he didn't know that he didn't take the so-called ancestral system into account at all.

"That's it, this king doesn't have much time, and the enthronement ceremony will be held in two days!"
