Chapter V Chinese Conference

It was late at night, and Liu Yiming was still writing and drawing on paper.

"Huh~ That's all. Man's planning and success are up to God. Life and death are determined by destiny and wealth. I've done everything I can, and the rest depends on God's will!" Liu Yiming murmured.

Liu Yiming is not worried about the riots for the time being. According to the news he received today, there are no signs that the native tribes are ready to move out. As for whether this is an illusion that the native tribes show to the outside world, Liu Yiming also asked Liu Wanhua this question.

In addition to the time required for the natives to assemble, there is no need to worry too much within half a month.

The original words of Liu Wanhua's answer were: "The reason why native people are called native people is that they have not learned to use their brains to think about things!"

The advantages the natives have over the Chinese are actually not many, but the natives have an inexplicable extra supply of muskets. Although they are lagging behind, they are still better than the Chinese who have nothing at all.

The natives are not afraid of death, poison arrows, long bows, and scimitars, but what about the Chinese? Under the oppression of the colonists, the Chinese have nothing but a small number of long knives. They cannot be equipped with bows and arrows.

Liu Wanhua said to Liu Yiming in despair, "The Chinese are just pigs raised by the colonists. They will be slaughtered when they are fattened."

Liu Yiming could feel the despair because his life was still threatened.

After thinking about it, I can understand why the career of the famous Mr. Cannon has been influenced by so many Chinese original works. For decades, countless wealth has been provided, just for a little hope.

Later, the famous transportation captain only wanted money, and the rest was over with just a word of Niang Xipi. He completely disappointed Southeast Asia.

Liu Yiming knew that he didn't have that much time. Now, right now, he had to save his life. Then, he had to suppress the natives and make them afraid to move. The colonists were used to being aloof and would not end easily.

"Make them afraid!" Liu Yiming murmured.

His eyes became sharp, he took a deep breath, glanced at the paper on the desktop, and went to sleep!

A bit of cool breeze came through the window, with a salty smell, blowing the paper on the table. On it was a bunch of letters, symbols and data that 99% of people in this era couldn't understand. If there are chemists, they can

See that these are several reaction equations...

The next day was a cloudy day, and the dark clouds were low, as if they were about to fall.

Liu Yiming followed Liu Wanhua out early in the morning. The destination of this trip was the Chen family, the largest family in Surabaya!

The Chen family is in the northwest corner of Surabaya, and the Liu family is in the northeast corner. To go to the Chen family, you have to pass through the pier. When passing by the pier, Liu Yiming saw several Chinese getting close to the British sailors, and the tavern on the pier was also full of British sailors.

Thinking of yesterday's data, "The Barbarian class has a quota of 555 people. If we take turns to rest, 200 people will disembark every day."

Liu Yiming took a few glances and continued walking to the Chen family. The Chen family had already gathered dozens of families from all over Surabaya!

Liu Yiming arrived at Chen's house and sat for a while before everyone gathered. Because they are all Chinese, there are more than 100,000 Chinese in Surabaya, and more than half of them are inextricably linked to these dozens of families. Those who directly belong to these dozens of families,

There were tens of thousands of people.

The meeting was very heavy. Except for the warm-up remarks made by Chen Jiangtao and the Chen family at the beginning, there was no good news.

Yang Wenjie, the head of the Yang family, said: "The Dutch set up a checkpoint outside the city. Now the entry and exit control of Surabaya is very strict. Our team that pulls ore has been inspected three times."

As soon as these words came out, the meeting became even more dull. When Liu Yiming was about to come out and talk about the plan, someone hurried in.

"Master, the young masters are back." The boy whispered to Chen Jiangtao.

"What's going on? Didn't you let them go?" Chen Jiangtao was confused at first, then in disbelief, and then said angrily.

At this time, all the children of the Chen family came back.

There are seventeen or eight "fathers", "uncles" and "uncles", the older ones are in their twenties and thirties, and the younger ones only look a few years old.

"Father, the Dutch don't allow us to board the ship!" Chen Simin, Chen's eldest son, came out and said.

Chen Jiangtao felt as if his backbone had been ripped out, and more people came back. It seemed that they were juniors from various families who were about to send them away. The lobby suddenly became noisy.

Liu Yiming winked at Liu Wanhua, and Liu Wanhua stood up and said.

"Quiet, how noisy it is! The eldest son of each family will stay, and everyone else will go out first." Liu Wanhua said loudly. "Brother Chen, please ask someone to make arrangements. The most important thing now is to find a way to put this together."

One step over."

Chen Jiangtao came to his senses and arranged for people to send all the juniors down.

The meeting continued, but became more dull.

"Uncles and elders, the matter has come to this. Yiming has an idea. If it comes true, this level of difficulty will be over!" Liu Yiming stood up and said after seeing this.

People in the lobby looked at each other.

"Tell me carefully." Chen Jiangtao reacted and asked Liu Yiming to talk.

"The ones who want to mess with us now are the Dutch and the colonists. We can't defeat them, but fortunately, they won't go to hell directly, but will instigate the natives." Liu Yiming paused.

"The natives are not to be feared, but the Dutch provided them with weapons and restricted us, so that we could only sit and wait for death!"

"I was just wondering if there was any way to fight against the natives. Until yesterday, the British warship docked. Everyone knows about it!"

"What do you mean? Ask the English for help?" Chen Jiangtao seemed to be grasping at straws.

"No, Uncle Chen, the English will not end up like the Dutch!" Liu Yiming said directly. "Listen to me."

"If you want to withstand the natives, you have to beat them up. The English will not suffer, but the English can do business. As long as the price is right, I can get a batch of fast guns. Although it may not solve the problem, it is better than

It’s much better with bare hands.”

"Can you guarantee to get it?" The head of the Wang family asked in disbelief.

"I can, I have my own way. Everyone, we are at the end of our rope. The knife is on the neck. I want all the young and strong people to obey my command. This is our last chance. Otherwise, we can hide and see our luck.

, will they be pulled out by the natives?"

The lobby instantly turned into a vegetable market and became noisy again.

"Everyone, everyone!" Liu Yiming continued.

"I know you don't believe me. You can make your decision after I get the gun, but no matter what, the young people must be gathered together."

After saying that, Liu Yiming sat down and said nothing.

"Okay, let's gather the young people from each family and take out all the hidden pots and jars. This hurdle must be passed. Otherwise, it will be difficult for everyone. Now we are grasshoppers on a rope. We are both prosperous and deprived.

Damage!" Seeing this, Chen Jiangtao stood up and said.

This meeting also ended.

After the meeting, Chen Jiangtao left Liu Yiming behind.

"Yiming, how sure are you?" Chen Jiangtao still couldn't believe it. Under the blockade of the Dutch, it was difficult for the Chinese to get guns.

"Originally it was 50%, but now it is 80%. Even if I can't buy it, I still have a way to fight against the natives, but it will easily touch the nerves of the Dutch." Liu Yiming said.

The Chen and Liu families were close friends, and Liu Yiming also told Chen Jiangtao some things that could be disclosed, but no one except Liu Yiming knew the most important things.

"By the way, Uncle Chen, I have one more thing."

"What's the matter? Just say it!"

"I want people who are educated, preferably those who have gone to school in Europe! How many people are needed depends on whether we can survive this disaster in the end!" Liu Yiming said seriously.

"Okay, your brother Simin and brother Zhi Yu have all studied abroad. I will ask them to come over later. In addition, there are people from each family who have gone abroad to study. Those who are at home, I will fight for you to come over." Chen Jiangtao was still very decisive.

"Great! It's best if you have studied chemistry, medicine, physics, industry and other science and engineering majors. If not, you can also study liberal arts!" Liu Yiming heard this and sifted.

"This matter will trouble Uncle Chen. I will contact the English people."

After leaving Chen's house, Liu Yiming walked back and stopped at the pier for a while...
