Part One: The Storm in Penghu Chapter 343 The Council of Presbyterians

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It is the Presbyterian Church of Batavia that can really decide the ownership of Kapitan.

    This somewhat mysterious organization can even influence the political situation in Batavia to a certain extent.  Batavia cannot do without the existence of the Presbyterian Church, and the Dutch cannot do without the existence of the Presbyterian Church.

    The nine elders hold huge power in their hands

    However, such rights must also be distributed to certain people.  To the natives of Batavia and immigrants to China, they were like gods, but to others, their existence was nothing more than a pawn that could be exploited.

    For example, the second-level commander of the Golden Blade Guard is Han Heyu.

    The order he received was to lay out Batavia and establish a foothold in Batavia in the shortest possible time and in the least noticeable way.

    And it is undoubtedly a very good way to make a Kapitan one of your own.

    "It's all the same, why don't you just take control of the Presbyterian Church?" While waiting for the Presbyterian Council elder Zhu Kuangzhen, Han Heyu's assistant Xiao Shi asked with some confusion.

    Han Heyu shook his head: "The Presbyterian Church is a very respectable place for Batavia, but they are more like the nine Bodhisattvas, who are worshiped, but it is hard to say whether they can manifest themselves. But control  Once we live in Kapitan, we have a foothold. Kapitan cannot do without the support of the Presbyterian Church, and the Presbyterian Church cannot do without the financial support of Kapitan.¡±

    Xiaoshi nodded thoughtfully.

    The door to the private room was pushed open, and Zhu Kuangzhen walked in.

    Han Heyu and Xiaoshi stood up in a hurry.  Respectfully: "Elder, you are here."

    Zhu Kuangzhen looked at them.  Without asking them to greet him, he sat down first and said, "Who is the Han Heyu who wants to see me?"

    "Elder. It's me."

    "Oh, what's the matter? Tell me." Zhu Kuangzhen poured herself tea and said bluntly.

    Han Heyu sat down: "The elders are cheerful people, so I don't want to hide it from you. I would like to ask you to recommend a new Kapitan candidate in the elders' meeting Zhu Kuangzhen's eyelids twitched: "The new Kapitan  Dan's choice.  Who does that?  "

    Han Heyu smiled: "Tan Guoliang is dead, of course there will be a new Kapitan."

    "Although Tan Guoliang is dead, his son Tan Fangcheng is still there, so I don't need to worry about it." Zhu Kuangzhen took a sip of tea.  Gentle and nonchalant.

    Han Heyu was not in a hurry: "I heard that when Tan Guoliang was alive, your son once played in his gambling shop and owed some money. As a result, Tan Guoliang held him captive and waited for you to bring the money.  The redeemer has just settled the matter, but you have always been unhappy Zhu Kuangzhen's eyelids moved again, indeed, this was a problem of his, but he then said calmly: "It is such a thing, but.  Kill for life.  Paying back debts has always been the law of the land. What can I be unhappy about?  Sir, if you want to rely on this to make me do something, that would be a mistake.  "

    "The elder is so righteous, Han Heyu is ashamed." Han Heyu smiled slightly and winked at Xiao Shi, who quickly placed a small box in front of Zhu Kuangzhen.

    Zhu Kuangzhen didn¡¯t speak either.  His eyes only glanced once.

    Han Heyu brought the box, and it suddenly shone with golden light. Slowly, a box of gold appeared!  Zhu Kuangzhen's breathing quickened instantly. Although he also had money, having so much gold in front of his eyes made people unable to be tempted.

    "This is one thousand taels of gold, please accept it if you please, elder." Han Heyu closed the box and said calmly.

    "Mr. Han, you are too generous." Zhu Kuangzhen's expression softened a lot: "Is Mr. Han planning to be this Kapitan?"

    Han Heyu laughed: "How could I have such wishful thinking? Even if I were really convinced, who would accept me as a foreigner who just came to Batavia?"

    Zhu Kuangzhen was a little confused. Since he didn't want to be the one, why did he make such a big move?

    Han Heyu said calmly: "What I mean is to ask the elders to recommend the Bu family and Bu Zhongming to take up this position."

    "Bu Zhongming?" Zhu Kuangzhen was even more puzzled: "I've never heard of Bu having a friend like you?"

    Han Heyu said slowly: "Yes, I also just recognized Mr. Bu. Since we are all from Fujian, we must help each other. Elder, I heard that you are also from Fujian? It is not easy for us Fujian people to help each other out.  , and you won¡¯t be bullied.¡±

    Zhu Kuangzhen nodded slightly.

    In fact, he doesn¡¯t value the feelings of fellow countrymen. The only thing he values ????is the box of gold in front of him.

    He pondered there for a while: "Brother, I can propose to re-elect Kapitan at the elders meeting, but the elders meetingThere are nine elders in total. I am not the only one who can decide Who would object?  "Han Heyu seemed to have expected this situation to happen.

    Zhu Kuangzhen thought about it for a while: "It's easy to say about the other people. As long as you can spare the money, brother, I will help you. There is only one named Lin Li, who doesn't take hard and soft measures. And this person has always looked down on Bu Zhongming. I'm afraid it's not good."  Deal withI know." Han Heyu said calmly: "I will deal with Lin Qian's place, so you don't have to worry anymore. The elders' meeting will start in a few days. Please take care of everything."

    After chatting there for a while, Zhu Kuangzhen stood up to leave. Han Heyu asked Xiao Shi to carry the box and send Zhu Kuangzhen out.  After a while, Xiao Shi turned back, and Han Heyu said thoughtfully: "Go and find out if Lin Qian has any hobbies. If he doesn't have any hobbies, check if he has any favorite things or people."

    "Yes, I'll do it right away."

    Han Heyu took a sip of tea.

    Everyone has weaknesses, no one is an exception, and what you have to do is to seize these people's weaknesses and break them one by one.  If it doesn't work, just control his most beloved thing.

    And the reason why he chose the Bu family instead of the Tan family is actually very simple.  Tan Fangcheng could have sat in this position. No matter how hard he tried to help him, he would not be grateful to him.

    But the Bu family is different, as long as Bu Zhongming becomes Kapitan.  He will be grateful and loyal to himself.  In the future, if I slowly and completely control him, everything will be easier Master.  Master Sun still hasn't been found.  "

    "Bastard, look for it, look for it again!" Lin Zhan's face was livid, and he was running around in the room anxiously.

    His grandson is only seven years old this year. It is a single generation of the Lin family. His son finally got such a treasure when he was in his thirties.  He has always been loved by Lin Li like a treasure.

    But today, my servant took his grandson to play, but it was already late at night and he still hadn¡¯t come back.

    The Lin family was in turmoil.  Half of Batavia was almost searched by them, but there was no sign of Master Sun at all.

    "Master, someone came from outside and said he knew the news about Master Sun."

    "Ah? Hurry, let him in." When Lin Zhan heard this, he was surprised and happy. When he saw that the person who came was a young man in his early twenties, he hurriedly asked: "Little brother, do you know the whereabouts of my grandson?"

    "My name is Xiaoshi." The visitor did not rush to say it, but introduced himself calmly: "I have indeed seen Master Sunwhere is he?" Lin Zhan was overjoyed.

    "Master Sun is very good." Xiao Shi smiled slightly, and then did not need to be greeted by others.  He sat down and said, "But if you want to know the whereabouts of Master Sun, Master Lin, what do you have to do?"

    Lin Li nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, as long as my grandson can be found safely, I will give you whatever you want."

    Xiaoshi smiled and said: "The Elders' Meeting will be held in a few days. There must be candidates for Kapitan, the Batavia Gambling House?"

    Lin Li was startled for a moment: "Yes, Tan Fangcheng, the son of Tan Guoliang, is just going through the motions."

    "I don't want to go through the motions." Xiao Shi said calmly: "I also don't want to see Tan Fangcheng sit in that position, but I think Bu Zhongming is quite suitable."

    Lin Li was startled again.  But then he seemed to understand something: "Are you from Bu Zhongming? Where is my grandson?"

    "I said, Master Sun is very safe." The smile on Xiao Shi's face looked weird: "But the specific extent of safety depends on you, Mr. Lin."

    "You bastard!" Lin Li was furious: "You dare to kidnap me? Do you know who I am? I can arrest you right now and let Governor Dimen hang you!"

    Xiaoshi was not afraid at all: "Yes, I know you can ask Governor Hongyi to hang me, but what about your grandson? Before hanging me, I guarantee that you can see Master Sun's body."

    This was Lin Li¡¯s destiny. When he heard this, he sat down slumped.

    Xiaoshi's tone was very calm: "Actually, you won't lose anything by choosing who to be this Kapitan. You will still be your elder. What do you think? Is the person who chooses Kapitan more important, or is your grandson more important?"

    Lin's face was pale and he couldn't say anything

    Xiaoshi stood up and patted his clothes: "Mr. Lin, we will take good care of Young Master Sun. Don't worry. After the Elders' Meeting is over, we will send Young Master Sun back to you. We will also give you a big thank you."  . But if our requirements are not met Mr. Lin, you are a smart man Xiaoshi knows that Lin Qian knows what he should do.

    Just like Han Heyu said, everyone has weaknesses, and all you have to do is to grasp his weaknesses.

    ??????????????????????????Xiaoshi, a fourth-level bodyguard of the Imperial Guard, was also very satisfied with his ability to do things, especially after he reported the news that Lin Qian had taken care of it to Han Heyu and Bu Zhongming, their expressions said everything.

    Bu Zhongming¡¯s biggest worry is Lin Jin. If he really starts to compete for Kapitan¡¯s position, Lin Jin, his old enemy, will be the first to rise up against him.

    He clearly remembered that they had become sworn enemies a few years ago, and they even had a heated argument. He was almost expelled from Batavia by the Presbyterian Church. If he had not bowed his head and admitted his mistake in time, the Bu family would have been there.  I can't survive here.

    If the Presbyterian Church wants you to live, then live, if it wants you to die, then die!

    But now these elders of the Presbyterian Church, in the eyes of these people from Taiwan, have suddenly become nothing and have done nothing. First it was Zhu Kuangzhen, and now it is Lin Liang's turn

    No wonder these people can even defeat the Dutch fleet, their power is really unfathomable.  If I can fawn over them tightly, I won't have to be afraid of those elders in the future.

    "Zhu Kuangzhen has done it, and Lin Qiang has done it" Han Heyu calculated carefully: "Six of the nine elders have clearly agreed to recommend you, and the remaining three are nothing to worry about.  ¡±

    "Mr. Han, I really want to thank you this time." Bu Zhongming said with gratitude: "Without you, the position of Kapitan would be just a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water to our Bu family."

    Han Heyu smiled and suddenly asked: "Mr. Bu, do you know how much money we spent this time?"

    Bu Zhongming shook his head blankly, and Han Heyu said slowly: "Just bribing them cost us six thousand taels of gold and nearly fifty thousand taels of silver, not counting other expenses Bu Zhongming was also shocked by this figure.  , fifty thousand taels of silver? This money is like running water.

    He thought for a moment: "Mr. Han, when I become Kapitan, I will definitely pay back this money as soon as possible."

    "We don't need you to pay back. You can't even pay back if you really want to." Han Heyu said with a smile: "We mobilized a lot of manpower and material resources to help you solve this matter. We can repay you with money."

    "Then what do you mean" Bu Zhongming understood somewhat.

    Han Heyu twirled his fingers on the teacup: "We are here to make friends with the Bu family. We spend a lot of money on our friends, but if one day this friend betrays us, what do you think we should do?"

    "No, no." Bu Zhongming became nervous and said repeatedly: "Please don't worry, Mr. Han, I also like to make friends the most."

    "That's good." Han Heyu stopped what he was doing: "Actually, to be honest, since we have a way to make friends, we are not afraid of the other party betraying us. We can get you into Kapitan's position, and we can do the same.  To get you off, of course, interest will be charged.¡±

    Bu Zhongming sweatdropped.

    Han Heyu looked a little cold: "The interest will be very large, so large that you can't imagine it. Of course, we still believe in Mr. Bu's character. Mr. Bu, just wait for the good news. We will see you at the elders' meeting."

    After saying that, he stood up and left Bu's house without saying hello to Bu Zhongming.

    Bu Zhongming quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long breath. He was lucky to recognize these people, but it might become the Bu family's misfortune.

    Han Heyu's words have made it very clear. Now, the fate of the Bu family has been completely linked to them. What they have gained through hard work will be lost immediately with just one word from them.

    ??Is this a good thing or a bad thing for the Bu family?  Bu Zhongming himself was a little confused.

    But no matter what, let¡¯s focus on the immediate things first. God knows what will happen in the future.
