Chapter 316: If you receive orders from Heaven, you will live a long and prosperous life.
There was a lot of discussion in the main hall of Heshun Company, but there was a sudden commotion outside the hall.
"It's not good! Something bad is happening!" The voice came to the hall before Ma Zai's people arrived.
Then someone ran in in a panic. This was the territory of UMW Company and the headquarters of the Nanyang Tiandi Society. Zhao Tianyuan still behaved very calmly.
"Why are you panicking? What the hell is going on?"
Zhao Tianyuan's scolding made the minion wake up a little and he quickly answered.
"Report to the Hall Master that there are foreign warships in the port. There are so many! They are so big! Okay."
"What's good! Tell me the key points!"
"They're looking for where the rudder is..."
"What! How do foreigners know that Natuna Island is the headquarters of the Nanyang Tiandi Society?"
"them.."
"What are they? Tell me clearly!"
"There is a woman on the boat who claims to be the Princess of Ming Dynasty! She"
"What is she? Let's make it clear once and for all!"
"She said that people from the Tiandihui should go to the beach to meet her, otherwise they will bring peace to our nest of snakes and rats."
Suddenly there was a violent explosion outside, dust fell rustling down, and the entire hall was shaken and filled with a choking smell.
Before the people in the hall could stand still, there was another intensive gunfire outside. How could the members of the Heshun Hall outside holding swords and spears resist, and quickly retreated into the entrance of the hall.
"Damn! Who are they! Are they those bastards from Lanfang! Or the Dutch ghosts!" Hall Master Liu of Suzaku Hall cursed.
"They are Chinese! But they are not from Lanfang. They don't have braids!" the subordinate replied.
"Damn it! This is gangsterism! Let me lead people to fight with them!" Hall Master Zhang of Xuanwu Hall said.
"Master, don't be impulsive. They have foreign guns in their hands. We can't beat them!" the minions dissuaded them.
"Report! The back is also blocked!" A subordinate who went to explore the back door reported back.
"What can we do? We can't fight now, and we can't escape!" Hall Master Hu of the White Tiger Hall said slumpedly while sitting on a chair.
At this time, Zhao Tianyuan, the leader of Qinglong Hall, said.
"Let me go out and talk to them to find out which kind of immortal dares to come and cause trouble at the helm of our Heaven and Earth Society."
Zhao Tianyuan's confidence actually comes from the fact that Natuna Island is the headquarters of the Nanyang Tiandihui. There are nearly 10,000 residents on the island, all members of the Tiandihui. He believes that they will come to reinforce the president soon after hearing the explosion.
Someone took the lead and there were no gunshots outside. Other senior executives of UMW Company also came outside under the protection of the gang. After all, what a gangster like this fears most is losing face.
Zhao Tianyuan stood still, cupped his hands and said.
"I would like to ask Zhao Tianyuan, the chief helm of the Nanyang Tiandihui, Qinglong Hall, who is this friend from, and why is he causing trouble for us, the Tiandihui."
"Hall Master Zhao, isn't it your duty to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?" A girl in the crowd said coldly.
"so what?"
"Then you won't kneel down when you see me?" There was an irresistible majesty in the woman's voice.
"Who are you?" Zhao Tianyuan frowned. He had been in Nanyang for so many years, but he had never seen a woman dare to talk to him like this.
"I am Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty, the 26th grandson of Zhu Yunwen, and Princess of Nanyang, Zhu Qiongying!" the woman answered.
"You said you are a princess or a princess? What proof do you have? I even said I was Zhu Di! Haha."
Hall Master Hu of the White Tiger Hall took over and laughed loudly. However, the laughter soon stopped abruptly with the sound of a gunshot.
"Why did you kill my brother!"
Zhao Tianyuan roared angrily, but the younger brothers around him calmed down and advised the hall master to be calm, because the guns on the opposite side were obviously much more than his own, and they were all revolvers. On the other hand, the Tiandihui side had more guns. All old flintlock muskets.
"Hu Youde, Baihutang, runs casinos and brothels in Nanyang. He claims to have eight thousand "female soldiers" under his command. He even married one hundred and eight concubines and called himself the chief of Liangshan. His methods are despicable. He often kills the whole family and forces girls into prostitution."
Zhu Qiongying had certainly prepared enough for killing Hu Youde. The so-called "Ming Dynasty pro-armies" under her were just some piggies who had been deceived into Nanyang. But now that they have guns and names, they believe that they are the righteous party. , is the real "Ming Dynasty pro-army".
"That's nonsense! My brother is a decent man!" Zhao Tianyuan yelled angrily.
"Is it true? Hall Master Zhao, you can go to Singapore or Borneo to find out about the good things your brother has done."
Zhu Qiongying did not show any timidity, but the senior officials of the Tiandihui who were used to being domineering began to waver.
Of course, some people who still have a little conscience in their hearts, or who are simply coerced, have other feelings. In fact, most of the Chinese who went to Nanyang were miserable people who couldn't survive in their hometowns, and a few were born bad. kind.
At this time, some gang leaders who had been oppressed for a long time began to accuse the gang bosses of their daily evil deeds. The evil deeds of several gang leaders in particular were countless, among which Zhao Tianyuan had a slightly better reputation.
What Zhu Qiongying wanted was this effect. No matter how strong the fortress was from the outside, it could not withstand the explosion from the inside.
Then there was another gunshot, and the leader of Xuanwu Hall, Zhang, fell down, and the largest opium dealer in West Borneo passed away.
This time the applause was even louder, because Zhang Youcai, Hall Master Zhang, had done all kinds of bad things. Anyone who has a relationship with this person will either lose all their money and live on the street, or sell their children and daughters to feed crocodiles.
(A local entertainment activity is to use live people to tease crocodiles to see how long people can survive in a pond full of crocodiles.)
Seeing that the fire was getting hot, she did not continue to kill. Instead, she described to them an utopia, where everyone has clothes to wear and food to eat; as long as they work, they will be paid, and bullies no longer dare to do whatever they want.
After all, her purpose here is not just to seek justice, but to establish her own power. What's more, she also wanted to witness with her own eyes the beautiful world Franz talked about.
As for Franz's words about integrating the new Nanming Empire into the Austrian Empire market and becoming its raw material supplier, she selectively ignored it.
In fact, ordinary people at that time wanted very simple things, and it was no exaggeration to think that this was paradise.
But Zhao Tianyuan is not so easy to compromise. He was born in a martial arts family. It is said that the poor are poor in culture and rich in martial arts. Those who can afford to practice martial arts are from rich families. Just like modern people who want to play football, how can they do it if they cannot keep up with nutrition. So the pursuit of nature is different.
"Do you have any real evidence to prove your identity as a member of the Ming clan?!"
Zhu Qiongying took out a piece of jade seal she thought was the best (selected from Franz's box), put it on the table and pushed it over.
"This is the imperial seal inherited from the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty. Do you want to see it?"
Zhao Tianyuan tremblingly held up the jade seal, with eight characters engraved below it: "If you are ordered by heaven, you will live forever."
This time Zhao Tianyuan believed it, and he was also willing to believe that Zhu Ming's descendants were still there and could lead the Han people to regain their lands. But what he never expected was that the Zhu Ming royal family would recover Nanyang.
