Chapter 212: Prison Country Lanfang
After occupying Pontianak, Wang Guorui immediately ordered the soldiers to call over those who had a certain status among the Pontianak Chinese, and even those who had a certain status in the Republic of Lanfang. Next, they are going to discuss the situation of the resumption of the Lanfang Republic. Of course, how to restore the country, that is to be done according to Wang Guorui's wishes, and in the end, Wang Guorui will decide.
"Everyone, you are all well-known figures in Dongwanlu, and we invite you to come today to discuss the restoration of Lanfang." Wang Guorui said.
And everyone present also felt very excited in their hearts, now that the Lanfang Republic has been restored, they can also become the leader of a country. In this way, the resentment that had been accumulated in their hearts for many years finally felt as if it had disappeared in an instant. Now, they didn't expect that Liu Enguan would invite people from Taiwan to help them restore the country after more than ten years, which made them really surprised.
"Thank you, Lord Wang, in the future, every Chinese in Lanfang will remember your kindness, Lord Wang!" Someone immediately complimented.
Then someone continued, "We will definitely build a temple in Lan Fang, and then let Lord Wang accept incense offerings on it." ”
Wang Guorui's face darkened for a while, and someone burned incense for him before he died, how unlucky.
"Well, this kind of temple building doesn't have to be done. I'm here now to help you announce the restoration of the country, and then after you return to the country, we will leave with our troops immediately and not interfere in your internal affairs! Wang Guorui said.
When those people heard this, their faces turned blue for a while, and they immediately knelt down together and said, "Lord Wang, please stay!" We can't live without you! ”
When these guys heard that Wang Guorui was actually leaving, they immediately knelt down and kept Wang Guorui. Because without Wang Guorui's support, they would not have been able to restore the country at all. It is even more unlikely that it will continue to gain a foothold in the South Seas. After all, now they have no soldiers and no weapons, so it is impossible for them to be able to defend their newly restored country. And now they immediately begged Wang Guorui to stay quickly, so as to avoid them being exterminated by foreigners. It is still inseparable from Wang Guorui, and it is not yet time to "send God". So everyone also begged Wang Guorui to stay. And they have to lead their troops to stay, so as to avoid them being attacked and destroyed by the enemy Dutch and natives!
"It's not easy for you to let me stay! After all, you are an independent country, and it is not appropriate for me to interfere in your internal affairs! Wang Guorui said "fakely".
And everyone obviously didn't know what Wang Guorui meant, but they kept begging Wang Guorui, hoping that Wang Guorui would "excuse" and refuse to come here to protect everyone.
"Bastards, you idiots, didn't you pick up smart people?" Wang Guorui scolded in his heart.
Wang Guorui was indeed a little speechless for these people who begged him to stay. Because Wang Guorui is going to eat Lan Fang next. But the eating appearance can't be too ugly, you must have a better eating appearance. Wang Guorui must stay, but in what capacity he stays, that must be a particular one. After all, although the Republic of Lanfang is currently nominally a vassal state of China, this is not the case in Wang Guorui's design structure. The Republic of Lanfang will inevitably be an independent country in the future, and this is also the idea of the kingdom. Of course, this so-called independent state is only a temporary method, because Wang Guorui is not suitable to directly fight the next war as China.
Wang Guorui is using the excuse of helping Lan Fang return to the country. But once Lan Fang recovers, there will definitely be no reason for the next war. Although the Dutch may not be willing to return to the country. It is inevitable that Taiwan will fight once. But Wang Guorui can imagine that if the Dutch suffer a big loss, then they will probably retreat to let Lan Fang return to the country, and then use this as an excuse for Wang Guorui to withdraw from the army. Wang Guorui's staff had already deduced this, once Lan Fang successfully returned to the country, and once the Dutch recognized Lan Fang. Then Wang Guorui will have no way to carry on the war.
Therefore, Lanfang must become a nominally independent country, so that Wang Guorui can put on the waistcoat of Lanfang to open up the South Seas. As long as Lan Fang develops Nanyang in the name of Lan Fang, so that Wang Guorui can also push 625, anyway, it is already Lan Fang's own business. Therefore, Lan Fang will become a vest of Wang Guorui.
But how to operate this vest. That's also exquisite. If Wang Guorui is not given a legal and reasonable excuse to participate in Lan Fang's internal affairs, then Wang Guorui is really difficult to handle! Because of unauthorized interference in the internal affairs of other countries, security must be a very taboo thing. In later generations, there was also one of China's five principles, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, and Wang Guorui did not want to start this. Therefore, a reasonable and legal reason to participate in Lan Fang's internal affairs is a must, and Wang Guorui's staff has not thought of a suitable excuse, because the staff does not know Lan Fang, so naturally they can't quickly think of an excuse to interfere in Lan Fang's internal affairs. This must go to Lan Fang, and let Lan Fang's own people personally help Wang Guorui to come up with an excuse. But these fools couldn't even make an excuse to help Wang Guorui think of it, so Wang Guorui was anxious for them.
If they don't help Wang Guorui come up with an excuse, then Wang Guorui will not be able to continue to keep the army on Lan Fang's territory for a long time, and then naturally there will be no reason to interfere in Lan Fang's internal affairs. Therefore, an excuse is still necessary, and it must make the Westerners speechless.
In fact, this war was completely divided into three parts military and seven parts politics. The Dutch are not scary, it is easy to clean them up. The natives are even less terrible, and the machine gun fire is like cutting wheat. However, the most terrible thing is the political problem, if the political problem is not solved, then I am afraid that the French and the British, who do not want Taiwan to expand, will definitely take the opportunity to use all kinds of military or non-military methods to interfere with Taiwan's opening up of the South Seas. Wang Guorui had to be thorough in all aspects, so that the British and French could be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis - there was no bitterness. If the French and British find an excuse to interfere in this matter, I am afraid it will really be enough for Wang Guorui to drink a pot. Therefore, it is necessary to be thorough in all aspects, and try to avoid the British and French finding excuses to meddle in this matter.
Once those foreign devils find out that things can't be done and can't stop Wang Guorui from interfering in Nanyang, then I'm afraid they will also choose to recognize the Republic of Lanfang as a sovereign country. In this way, Wang Guorui was then forced to withdraw from Nanyang, so that Wang Guorui's expansion plan ended in vain. Therefore, it is necessary to find a suitable person to intervene in Lan Fang's internal affairs, so that there can be a reason to continue to wage war against the Dutch in the name of Lan Fang. Anyway, Wang Guorui must expand his influence to the South Seas.
At that time, Lan Fang will be a layer of vest, like a dog in Taiwan that is placed outside the door to bite people. Just like Japan in later generations, although it is nominally an independent country, it is just a dog that the Americans put outside China, all of which are raised by their bosses. If needed, you can take a few bites, and if the dog can't beat it, then the master can slowly transfuse blood. And later, if the dog can't beat it, then the owner will have to come forward in person. Anyway, this kind of gameplay is just a layer of vest, but you really can't put on this layer of vest.
Sometimes there are still international rules, especially when the strength is equal and countries can have the strength to coerce each other, then it is necessary to use some rules of the game to play. If you don't follow the rules of the game, you won't be able to play. At present, Taiwan's strength is not too strong, so it must make use of some international rules so that it can not be used by Western countries as a reason to interfere.
"Lord Wang, now that our Lan Fang has just returned to the country, and a new leader has not yet been elected, so we hope that Lan Fang will invite the Minister of Nanyang of the Qing Dynasty and the Nanyang Metropolitan Protector to supervise the country, so that when we are elected and the country is stable, then we can discuss how to achieve Lan Fang's independence, what do you think?" Liu Xue asked.
And Wang Guorui couldn't help but sigh, this Liu Enguan's sister Liu Xue is much more level than Liu Enguan, Liu Enguan is just a straw bag, it is simply useless, and he is not really qualified to be the leader of a country, even if Lan Fang does not perish back then, it is just a matter of survival. Liu Xue actually came up with a way very quickly, that is, on the grounds that Lan Fang had just returned to the country and had not been able to elect a leader, she invited the so-called "Great Qing" Nanyang Minister and Nanyang Dadu Protectorate to supervise the country for them, so that Wang Guorui could come over to supervise the country. At that time, isn't Wang Guorui able to manipulate Lan Fang casually?
Anyway, this kind of thing of inviting foreigners to come and supervise the election is not a strange thing. You must know that in the Western world, there are also many foreign kings who marry each other, and then whenever there is a dispute over the inheritance of the king of a country, then they may ask the foreign king to send someone to adjudicate. Anyway, Wang Guorui can also play like this, let Lan Fang ask Wang Guorui to come over to supervise the election, and use force to maintain the stability of the election. In this way, the Taiwanese army will have a reason to stay in the Republic of Lanfang, and then it will not be able to really leave until the election is completed.
But when will the election be successful? This also depends on when Wang Guorui will conquer the South Seas. As long as Wang Guorui does not agree, then it is impossible for them to succeed in the election, which means that Wang Guorui has this strength. (To be continued......)
