spn Nanyang, Natuna Islands, Great Natuna Island.

This is an archipelago located on the edge of the South China Sea. In the distant Ming Dynasty, it was occupied by some descendants of the Southern Ming Dynasty and the ancestors of Fujian, Guangzhou and Zhejiang who went to the Southeast Asia. The original indigenous people on the island quickly integrated into the life of the Chinese. In the 19th century,

A Chaozhou native from Guangdong named Zhang Jiexu integrated the power of the Chinese and established a kingdom on this island, which was much larger than Hong Kong, and appointed himself king.

This should have been an inspiring thing at the time. If it was properly publicized and guided by China's local strength, it would have a guiding role in the millions of Chinese in Southeast Asian countries. Perhaps, a vigorous

The wave of Chinese nation-building will be staged across Southeast Asia.

However, the Manchu Qing Dynasty denounced these Chinese living in Nanyang as "rebellious people". Not only did they not support this Chinese nation-building behavior, they also implemented a sea-relocation policy, which would have taken the opportunity to develop into a Chinese-scale

The great situation of sexual colonization, bye bye and ruined, is fundamentally rooted in the fact that in the eyes of the Manchus, there is always the idea that since the Chinese are Han people, the Han people wandering outside must be dissatisfied and always plotting rebellion. This leads to such absurdity

The emperor said, "Those who disobey the decree and refuse to listen to the recall and are willing to stay in the mainland for a long time are the ones who should be rectifying the law in the heaven. They cause troubles and are killed in foreign countries. They are responsible for their own sins."

As a result, the Nanyang Chinese who originally thought they would be protected by the huge Chinese Empire were once again disappointed. As soon as Zhang Jiexu died, the Dutch who occupied the Indonesian colony extended their colonial claws to the Natuna Islands. They not only stationed troops on the islands, but also established

The Natuna Administration was established. The Chinese in the Natuna Islands were reduced to colonial people. Like the Chinese in other places in Southeast Asia, after being unable to survive at home, they were once again taken advantage of abroad.[

During this period, the colonial authorities of the Natuna Islands and the Indonesians repeatedly attacked the Chinese, robbed the Chinese of their plantations and land, and fabricated various crimes to torture the originally wealthy Chinese into poor workers and finally plantation workers. Although there were

They resisted, but with little success under the threat of Dutch guns and Indonesian machetes and sickles.

In the late Qing Dynasty, Sun Yat-sen and other members of the Tongmenghui also set foot on the Natuna Islands many times, firstly to return home and secondly to raise money. The kind and simple Chinese in the Natuna Islands are the same as the Chinese in other places

, wholeheartedly hope that the motherland will be prosperous and powerful, some hope that the Chinese nation can rise, wholeheartedly hope to overthrow the decadent foreign Manchu Qing Dynasty, and wholeheartedly hope to establish a powerful Chinese empire, so as to say a word and do something for the Chinese who are working as pigs and dogs outside.

Real facts. So they took out their savings for many years, some took out their ancestral dowry, some took out a few dollars that they had hid through blood and sweat on the plantation, and some sold their family property, just to support their grandchildren.

Sir, buy more guns and more cannons.

Unfortunately, after the founding of the Republic of China, Premier Sun focused his attention on tens of thousands of kilometers of railways, and the northern warlords had no energy to manage Nanyang. In this way, the Nanyang Chinese who were disappointed again and again were disappointed again.

Until, until New China announced its formal establishment to the world, they saw a new dawn. From bits and pieces and some local Chinese tabloids, they realized that this might be a different motherland regime.

Natuna Island, an ordinary small courtyard.

It was already late at night, but in the closed courtyard, the huge hall was full of people. At the top was an old man with completely white hair and beard, wearing a double-breasted white cloth, holding a long cigarette.

There were several elderly people sitting on both sides of the pole, but three young people were kneeling at the bottom in the middle.

"It has been 261 years since the Zhang family went to Nanyang in the late Ming Dynasty. It has been twelve generations of people who have lived in this remote island in Nanyang. Twelve generations, twelve generations." The old man held up the cigarette pole and trembled slightly.

, with an excited expression, and unknowingly burst into tears, "Twelve generations ago, it has been a hundred years since my ancestor Zhi Wugong established the kingdom. Have you all forgotten?"

"Grandpa, we dare not forget"

The three young men kneeling down were all dressed in black Chinese clothing. This is a style of clothing that has been spread to Southeast Asia from the motherland. With the maritime trade in the southwest, young and middle-aged Chinese people generally like this style.

This kind of Chinese suit is more elegant than the Chinese tunic suit, with a simpler design and more unique materials.

Several elders from the clan sitting nearby wanted to persuade them, but they did not dare to speak. The clan rules were quite strict, and they were brought from the motherland when they went to Nanyang.

"It's good that you haven't forgotten. It's good that you haven't forgotten. I think back then, we, the Nanyang Chinese, were no better than pigs and dogs. We had a hard life and were walking on thin ice. The foreigners bullied us wantonly and the motherland ignored us. We were really abandoned by the heaven and the motherland.

I know Zhang

Wugong, feeling the hardships of the Chinese, wanted to make a decision for these millions of abandoned people, establish a kingdom, rename the island Hanzhong, and unify the Chinese forces. Unexpectedly, the foreigners had strong ships and powerful guns, and knew that Wugong had worked hard all his life, but he was defeated.

The foreigners' guns and cannons were fired for a moment, and the front foot came out

After the funeral, Hanzhong Island was usurped by foreigners. From then on, our Chinese status plummeted, Hanzhong Island became the Great Natuna Island, and the Chinese became like pigs and dogs." The old man almost beat his chest and stamped his feet, recalling the unbearable past.

, come one by one. "Although our kingdom is gone, the ancestral precepts are still there. Our ancestors asked us to wait for an opportunity to restore the country. However, after a hundred years, our efforts have been in vain. How can we defeat those foreigners with a little money and force? It's sad.

It’s a shame…”

"Dad, please calm down and don't get too angry. The Chinese on this island are counting on you to make the decision." An old man sitting on the left said carefully.

"When people die, their souls return to their country. It's good to die. If I hadn't been reluctant to leave these more than ten thousand compatriots, I would have returned to my country long ago. The roots of the Chinese are still in the mainland." The old man waved his hand and asked the old man who just spoke,

"Minshan, how is the contact with the other big families on the island? How is our manpower?"

The old man stood up and returned and said, "Dad, the patriarch of the Wang family and the patriarch of the Chen family have promised that the Zhang family will obey us. As long as the Zhang family can succeed this time, they will come forward to help stabilize the situation. As for manpower, my Zhang family

There are more than a hundred people among them who are good men and women. They have good skills because of the boxing and kicking skills passed down by our ancestors. In addition, we have also imitated the Tongmenghui back then and developed more than 700 plantation workers and laborers. When the time comes, we can raise our arms and call for help.

.”

The white-haired old man stroked his long beard with his right hand and said with approval, "Yes, these Chen and Wang family are worthy of being the ministers of my Zhang family. They can still stand with us on major issues of right and wrong. When the time comes, I, Zhang Chaozhong, will personally

Go visit them. As for the manpower, although we have a lot of people, much more than the Dutch red-haired ghost, we are not afraid of their military strength on the island, but we are afraid of their rear attack. So, when you return home this time, you

We must win the help of the new ‘government’.”

"Dad, according to various sources, the new 'government' is indeed very different from the previous Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The leader of the new 'government', Zhang Shusheng, is a real nationalist. We have won the new government

There is still a lot of hope for help from the 'government'. However, we are the abandoned people of Nanyang after all, and if we want the new 'government' to help, I'm afraid..." Zhang Minshan asked.

The white-haired old man sighed, shook his head and said, "Even if we are the abandoned people of Nanyang, we are Chinese first, and the descendants of the dragon who are connected by blood to the mainland. If we can really get help and rescue the abandoned people of Nanyang like us, the Hanzhong Islands will be

Being included in the Chinese territory is a good thing, not a bad thing. Moreover,

The Hanzhong Islands are located on the edge of the South China Sea. If they return to the motherland, they can not only defend the South China Sea, but also travel out of the South China Sea. Therefore, our ancestors said, "Whoever captures Hanzhong in the South China Sea will surely shake up the countries in the South China Sea." It is said that "Chairman" Zhang used the country's

It is important that I, a noble person with the surname Zhang, be able to understand the great right and wrong."

Everyone discussed again, and after many clan meetings, the matter was finally settled. At midnight, the white-haired old man Zhang Chaozhong finally stood up, bowed to the statue of Confucius behind him, and then said, "Please give me the relics of my ancestors.

"

After a while, several disciples from the clan opened an iron box, took out two jade boxes, one long and one short, and handed them to Zhang Chaozhong.[

Zhang Chaozhong took the two boxes tremblingly and put them next to him. He took the short jade box first and said with emotion that the whole family knew how valuable the box in his hand was.

"Today is a big day. You are all the direct descendants of my Zhang family. I want you to know that the ancestral treasures include three things in total. One of them is gold and silver. These treasures are saved for the future rise of the Zhang family. The Zhang family is in decline.

Later, descendants traveled to various parts of Southeast Asia to do business, saving for generations just to prepare for this thousand-year difficult time.

I encountered an opportunity. The second thing is a seal." Zhang Chaozhong opened the short jade box and took out a seal that could be held in the palm of his hand. The word Zhang was faintly visible at the bottom, "This is my Lord Zhang Zhiwu.

The seal was a token of the kingdom back then and was passed down from generation to generation. Now it can be used as a token to return to the country and meet ‘Chairman’ Zhang.”

After saying that, he picked up the last longer and slightly larger jade box, sighed softly, and opened it carefully. There was actually a small jade box inside. Holding this small jade box, Zhang Chaozhong said to the direct descendant of the clan, "I, Zhang

The reason why the family was able to start things smoothly back then was that

To establish a kingdom, we need the help of a Ming minister. I, the Zhang family, were kind to this man and helped him and several others go to Nanyang. This man not only helped me, Duke Zhiwu, to establish the kingdom, but also gave me a lot of treasures. Here.

The most precious thing is what is contained in this jade box."

After speaking, Zhang Chaozhong carefully opened the small jade box. This is the only thing that the head of the Zhang family must carefully keep every year. A lot of protection work must be done every year, and he puts on a pair of clean white gloves.

He finally took out a pamphlet from the jade box.

"The important minister of the Southern Ming Dynasty gave this gift to me in exchange for the three sons of the Zhang family swearing to protect the mysterious figure of the Southern Ming Dynasty from escaping. Later, I, Zhiwu Gong, verified that this is a valuable treasure that has been lost for many years in China, the authentic Lanting Preface!!"

As soon as these words came out, several core disciples of the Zhang family present were shocked. It was rumored that this treasure was lost in Zhaoling. Why did it end up in the hands of the Zhang family? Could it be that the secret treasure in the Ming Dynasty palace was taken away by someone who fled from Nanming?

Finally, it was given to the ancestor of the Zhang family? I think

I think so. The important minister of the Southern Ming Dynasty was far-sighted and resourceful. Seeing that Zhang Jiexu was loyal to the country, he did not hesitate to protect his children and others when they went to Nanyang. He helped make plans to establish the kingdom and gave him many kinds of treasures. It is reasonable.

"Minshan, the authentic preface to Lanting and the seal of Zhiwu Gong were taken by you and your three sons to Hanjing, the motherland, and presented to the "Chairman". No matter what, please ask him to send troops to Nanyang to save our Hanzhong Islands and save our Nanyang Islands. Millions of powerful men have abandoned their people. You must be careful with these treasures."

Zhang Chaozhong was not worried that the secret would be leaked. After all, the people present, except for his three sons, were the two elders in charge of the Zhang family. The three people kneeling down were the best among the grandchildren whom he had observed for many years.

"Dad, don't worry. If Minshan can't handle this serious matter, he will never go back to Nanyang to see you, my old father." After Zhang Minshan finished speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed with his three sons, their foreheads bleeding.

"Let's go, leave overnight, take the book of all peoples written earlier, board the ship and return to China. The fate of Nanyang is in the hands of your father and son." After Zhang Chaozhong finished speaking, he didn't stay much. With the support of his two younger sons, Next, go back and rest.

Zhang Minshan and the other three immediately packed their bags and set out overnight, boarded a sailboat and left the port overnight.

Half a month later, New China's Hanking.

Zhang Shusheng was reading the military report just handed over by the Ministry of National Defense.

According to military reports from the Northeast, the Japanese have regarded the Battle of Shenyang as a battle that will determine the fate of the Northeast. Judging from the continuous increase of troops, it may eventually form a decisive battle force of more than ten divisions. As for the People's Army, the troops are also A steady stream of troops marched north. Among them, Chen Jun's Northbound Corps completed all deployments, with six divisions totaling 100,000 troops. Including the troops of the old Northeast Army, the total was 300,000 troops. In addition, due to concerns about the combat effectiveness of the former Northeast Army Insufficient, in addition to recruiting two additional infantry divisions to go north, Tao Qian was asked to lead the second wave of the North China Army to be stationed in the Tianjin and Beijing areas, which could not only defend Tianjin and Beijing, but also be able to rush out of Shanhaiguan and go north to support at any time.

In Tibet, Zhuge Sheng's Tibetan troops have arrived outside Lhasa and are fighting against some complicated Tibetan forces. They are expected to enter Lhasa city in the near future to intimidate the religious authorities.

In Xinjiang, the Xinjiang Corps led by Zhang Zizhong and Wang Zheng has passed Hami and is marching towards Turpan. Sheng Shicai has ordered all the ministries along the way to cooperate with the Central Army to complete the reorganization and restructuring and change of the grassroots "government".

In addition, there is the current progress of some domestic infrastructure construction, which Zhang Shusheng is also very concerned about. Large-scale economic construction is about to begin, and whether the national infrastructure tasks that will last until November can be completed will have a great impact on the entire new China's first five-year economic plan had a huge impact.

"Dong dong dong"

"Come in"

Mao Yunxian had just reported in advance that Li Zongren of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had urgent matters to report.

"Chairman, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has just received a copy of the Book of All Peoples in Nanyang. It was submitted by the Chinese on Natuna Island in Nanyang, which is what the person who submitted the Book of All Peoples called Hanzhong Island. Please take a look."

Li Zongren handed the copy of the Book of Ten Thousand People to Zhang Shusheng.[

Zhang Shusheng was stunned, Nanyang? Isn't that one of the areas where Chinese people are most concentrated and suffer the most? He has never forgotten them. He originally planned to deal with this matter after New China's various undertakings stabilized, but he didn't expect the other party. But he took the initiative to ask for help.
