Red Alert 1895

Chapter 446: Proposal for marriage (middle)

Immediately, someone proposed to take back this colony about Nanyang. Obviously, these Dutch people also thought that as long as they could marry the queen to Wang Guorui, they should be able to take back the colony. As for the Kalimantan Island that cannot be recaptured, that can be said otherwise. But the land east of Kalimantan, Sumatra, and even Java can be taken back! If it is not possible to get it back, then I am afraid that the next step is really to face the result of the government's resignation. And if Wang Guorui can return the land to them through this Queen's incident, it will be regarded as a beauty trick to defeat others without fighting, so everyone has begun to think about it.

And Wang Guorui heard what these guys said, he knew that these guys were daydreaming! Regarding this Nanyang colony, Wang Guorui will never return it to them. Nanyang is rich in resources. Whether it is used to grow crops or mine minerals, it is a very rich place. If it is returned to them like this, then the kingdom Rui's men are about to rebel. The capture of Nanyang is the common aspiration of the army and the common people, and it cannot be decided by Wang Guorui alone. This war against Nanyang was actually proposed by Wang Guorui, and it was quickly approved, because they all knew that resources could only be obtained once war was launched against Nanyang. If resources cannot be obtained, Taiwan will also face the result of collapse, so this is what everyone cares about.

Now that this Nanyang has already been eaten in his mouth, it may be difficult to spit it out, so Wang Guorui will not be so stupid as to spit it out.

"Sumatra Island, we will voluntarily back down and return it to you, the Netherlands. But we will not back down on anything else. Because this will be your queen's dowry." Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui is also so "proud", and he is so confident in asking for the dowry with the woman. Anyway, these colonies are also regarded as the dowry of the Queen of the Netherlands, so they can all be regarded as things they gave to Taiwan. In short, whether they accept this statement or not, Taiwan will not return these colonies to them. After all, these colonies are the lifeblood of Taiwan, and of course they cannot just be returned to them. Anyway, if they are willing to accept the title of dowry, then they can all be treated as dowry. So naturally it is to make them feel better and avoid the bad reputation of ceding land and paying compensation.

"What? Dowry?"

Some congressmen could not help but almost vomit blood. Because they suddenly remembered a wedding custom in Europe. In Europe, it is completely different from China. In many European countries, when men and women get married, the woman usually pays for the marriage expenses. The custom in many European countries is that the man rarely gives the bride price, but the woman should prepare a sufficient dowry. So I'm pretty happy in Europe. I don't have to worry about a man who doesn't have money to get married. This kind of thing should be something that women worry about. But Wang Guorui was also shameless, and actually directly proposed to ask for these colonies as a dowry, which must have made them somewhat unacceptable.

This kind of thing is really dark enough to directly ask for a few large colonies as the queen's dowry. But think about it, she is a queen anyway, how can the dowry be ordinary? So it's not too much to ask for a few pieces of territory. but. This made everyone very heartbroken. They ceded such a large colony as a dowry all at once, but it was forced to be given by others. This is just so annoying.

"You can rest assured that according to our Chinese customs, only the woman's own children can inherit the woman's dowry in the future, and the husband and other people's children cannot have the right to inherit the dowry." Wang Guorui said.

Hearing this, the congressmen breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, they think that being forced to cede the colony is an inevitable problem, but what they want is to get it back as much as possible. But how could Taiwan be returned to them. So they are destined to only suffer a big loss. But now I heard the custom in China that only the woman's own children can inherit the dowry. This made them all feel relieved for a while. Because what the Dutch people are most worried about is that if Wang Guorui obtains this territory at that time, and then gives it to the children born to himself and other women, it will be troublesome. And if only the woman's own children can inherit, then it will eventually return to the Dutch side.

As long as the queen gave Wang Guorui a child, then the colony would still belong to the Netherlands. At that time, Queen Wilhelmina's children can return to the Netherlands to inherit the throne of Wilhelmina, and after decades of Wang Guorui and Queen Wilhelmina's death, the colony will still return to the Netherlands, and they can all return to the Netherlands at that time. Get this colony now.

Of course, this is the result of the Dutch self-comfort. They think that as long as this is the case, they can take back these lands without a single soldier. Anyway, Wilhelmina's descendants will also inherit the Dutch throne. Isn't it possible to get this land back then? As for whether Wang Guorui would give this land to the children born to him and other women, that didn't conform to the Chinese customs on dowry. And as long as China has this article, the Dutch are willing to pinch their noses and admit it. Anyway, they can't fight a war against Taiwan, so they can only get this land back through this method.

"Hmph, I'll let you deceive yourself. Anyway, you will be at a loss when the time comes. You can't predict what will happen decades later. You just need to play some political tricks at that time, and you can use some political tricks to get these colonies back. Belongs to our China again."

Of course, Wang Guorui would not tell them that the international situation would be very different in the next few decades, especially after the colonies of various countries began to become independent one after another, and then established their own countries. At that time, the colonial system of the world gradually collapsed, and the major colonies became independent one after another, or joined certain countries for other reasons, and became the territories of certain countries. At that time, although this Nanyang territory looks like a colony, in terms of China's status in a few decades, it can use some means at will, and then it will transform this land from paper into a legal one. of Chinese territory. This is just a change on paper, there is no big difference. Wang Guorui believes that China's international status and strength will be very different decades later. At that time, China will play some tricks, and Europeans will have nothing to do.

As for this custom about Chinese women's dowry, it is just to appease the Dutch. Let them be willing to accept Wang Guorui and Wilhelmina's marriage, and Wilhelmina also knows that the Dutch have fallen, either by Taiwan or by foreign countries, and sooner or later they will not be able to keep it. So instead of being taken away by outsiders, it is better to give it to your husband, which can also be regarded as your own gift. Of course, Wang Guorui also forcibly asked for this gift, and he will not return it in the future.

"What's your opinion about this colony?" Wang Guorui asked.

And soon, the Dutch parliamentarians also had no opinions, because if they had any opinions, it would only make them unable to obtain benefits in the end. Wang Guorui has already given them face, and is willing to hand over these colonies to their heirs after the death of himself and Wilhelmina, and then they can inherit the Dutch throne, so there is no need to worry about not being able to regain the colonies. And this is a result that the Dutch can barely accept. They think that as long as they can belong to the Netherlands again in the future, everything will be fine.

Wang Guorui was thinking in his heart: "After a few decades, these Nanyang will be full of our Chinese. At that time, if you want to take it back, you will not dare to take it back. Will the Chinese still follow you after decades? Is the Dutch going?"

Wang Guorui has already planned that the continuous immigration over the past few decades will allow the people to transfer to the colonies in a steady stream. These lands are full of Chinese people everywhere, so naturally there is no need to worry about the betrayal of the Chinese in these territories. Anyway, everyone's civilization and ideology are the same, so there is no need to worry about them splitting. On the contrary, the Dutch will see that these territories are full of Chinese~lightnovelpub.net~ They may not dare to ask for it back, they will be afraid of the population upside down. It is a tragedy that they all become "minorities" in their own territory.

"We can discuss the matter of this colony, that is, proceed according to Chinese marriage customs. At that time, only the biological children of Her Majesty the Queen will be able to inherit this dowry, and the children born to you and other people, Governor Wang, will not be able to inherit this dowry. We must sign the treaty!" said the chairman of the council immediately.

"Okay, we can sign the relevant treaties. Only the children of Mary and me can inherit these colonies." Wang Guorui said.

Soon, everyone also reached a consensus, which can be regarded as satisfactory. However, there will definitely be people who will come out to stir up shit, because not everyone wants to see Wang Guorui and Wilhelmina get married.

"I object. I think the Queen should find a nobleman to marry, not a Chinese who has no title. Moreover, this Chinese already has a wife, and he already has no less than four wives, and even his mistress has Quite a few, how can we allow Her Majesty the Queen to marry him? We have always been monogamous in Europe, and polygamy will never be allowed, so we should resolutely oppose Her Majesty the Queen marrying him?" Someone shouted immediately. (to be continued)
