Historically, it took nearly twenty years from the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the fall of the Nanming Dynasty before the Manchu Qing Dynasty completed its occupation of the mainland. |[2][3][w][x] From the time Zhu Yongxing left Burma and entered Yunnan , it has only taken more than three years for the two countries to confront each other.
In other words, in the war against foreign invasion and occupation, people with lofty ideals and ordinary people tried their best, shed blood, and paid huge sacrifices. However, all their efforts were ruined by incompetence, internal strife, etc. Until people are exhausted, but no longer see any hope, they are completely disheartened and have to succumb to the rule of foreign races.
Today is completely different from history. The fire of hope in the hearts of the people is getting stronger and stronger. Although the re-established regime is still called the Ming Dynasty, it is no longer the disappointing court. And the tyranny and cruelty of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are no longer the same. It has been known and hated by the people.
He is crippled, and I am benevolent; he is greedy, and I am righteous. When he is relieved of his inclination, he is on the throne; when the water and fire come out, this is the coolness of the fertile soil. Then all the innocent sons and heroes in the world are my sons. , brothers of the same spirit, there is a plan that does not work with the group, but they work together to avenge the bitter hatred for seventeen years? Although the rebels have magical plans and secret strategies, they have nothing to do. Moreover, the skills of Guizhou donkeys are poor, and the mountain ghosts are All the skills are exposed. They are all discovered by the people, and they have nothing to fear. Therefore, they know that if they are completely defeated, they will not be able to stop it.
What impressed Zhu Yongxing was that someone had already seen this problem and made an incisive explanation. As for the so-called aspirations of the people, first, there must be hope, a regime that can place hope, and a good life that can be realized; second, there must be hope. Only when you have an enemy you hate can you be fearless and sacrifice yourself for them.
All of these are now available. Although finances are tight due to the war, the lives of the people in the Guangfu areas are getting better day by day, especially in the old Guangfu areas such as Yunnan and Guangdong. The people who have suffered and have begun to recover cherish this even more. Hard-won stability. I hope to find long-lasting peace as soon as possible.
"No taxation." Zhu Yongxing had his own bottom line. He would rather overdraw the government's credit and borrow from the private sector than take back the benefits that had been implemented. "The court cannot break its promise. Although there are difficulties, I would rather borrow. Nor will I use a piece of edict to snatch it from the hands of the people. As for those selfish wealthy gentry - I will not issue an order to plunder and confiscate their homes, but I will remember them. When the time comes, they will be deprived of their qualifications as gentry. "
Yicheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, smiled bitterly and bowed away. As the official in charge of money and food, he had the heaviest responsibility and the greatest pressure, but the proposal to increase the tax was rejected by Zhu Yongxing.
"I know there are difficulties now." Zhu Yongxing softened his tone and said: "But it is not insurmountable. I have made arrangements before, well. Even if it doesn't succeed, there will be other ways."
After the liberation of Guangzhou, Zhu Yongxing met with the Chinese businessmen who escaped from Luzon. Although it was difficult to get away to launch military retaliation against the Spaniards in Luzon at that time, Zhu Yongxing gave the Chinese businessmen errands. One was to contact the Chinese in Luzon, and for The Ming army provided relevant information about the Spaniards; secondly, it gave these Chinese businessmen semi-official appointments, allowing them to get in touch with wealthy Chinese businessmen in the Dutch colonies, that is, the West Indies, hoping that they would donate funds and contribute to the national war. ; Or cut off commercial contacts with the Spanish in Luzon and impose trade sanctions.
If the Chinese in Batavia still held a wait-and-see attitude towards this national war before, they became active after the Ming army recovered half of the country. According to the news from the previously appointed Chinese businessmen, the overseas Chinese in Batavia
Representatives will be sent to meet with him soon and he will have a clear intention to donate and fund the war.
The overseas Chinese in Nanyang are very powerful economically, but they do not have corresponding power politically. It can be said that they are the most suffering and humiliated among the oppressed nations in the world. They are also the largest in number, the most civilized, and have the most financial and material resources.
The one with the strongest connections and the most extensive connections with the outside world.
However, many knowledgeable people are aware of the 400-year massacre policy of the Western colonizers and their consistent strategy of winning over the indigenous people and suppressing the Chinese. Therefore, during the historical Anti-Japanese War, only the Nanyang Chinese would spend their money.
Once the Chinese motherland regains its inherent self-confidence and becomes a powerful country, the Nanyang Chinese will receive the purest and inexhaustible strength support. This is one of their long-term goals.
Looking back at history, we can see that the tragic experiences of the Chinese in Southeast Asia have a long history. In 1603, the Spanish colonists in the Philippines banned the Chinese from mining gold mines. The Chinese argued hard, but more than 20,000 people were massacred; in 1639, the Spanish colonial authorities massacred nearly
Of the 20,000 Chinese, the survivors were forced to embrace Catholicism and pay a high head tax; in 1662, Spain was angry with the local Chinese because of Zheng Chenggong's recovery of Taiwan, and carried out a third massacre, this time almost killing all the local Chinese.
; In 1740, the Dutch East India Company suddenly carried out a crazy robbery and massacre against the Chinese community in Batavia (now Jakarta), Indonesia; a large number of corpses were thrown into the river, causing the water to turn red, which was known in history as the "Red River Massacre";
In 1853, the Dutch colonists and natives of Kalimantan suddenly attacked the Chinese because they were jealous of the Chinese who were mining gold mines. More than 30,000 Chinese and their families, women, children, old and young, were all killed, and no one was spared...
This is a famous massacre and suppression in history. As for the daily discrimination, oppression, humiliation, kidnapping and extortion of Chinese, they are endless and occur all over the Southeast Asian countries.
The descendants of the Yan and Huang dynasties braved numerous difficulties and dangers, traveled across the ocean and came to a strange land filled with miasma and rampant snakes. They used their advanced production technology, hard work, and even risked their lives to bring evil to the wastelands of Southeast Asia.
Moreover, the Chinese followed the good nature of the Han nation and treated the indigenous residents who were obviously at a disadvantage in a friendly manner, which was completely different from the white Europeans who came later than them and appeared as conquerors, occupiers, and enslavers.
breed people.
However, Chinese immigrants like the overseas Chinese from Nanyang were not only suppressed and massacred by the Western colonists, but also suffered discrimination in the domestic society at that time. They were called "abandoned people of the Chinese Empire" and had no social status at all. It can be said that translation
History records the stupidity and indifference of China's feudal rulers of all dynasties and their indifference to their overseas subjects.
Most overseas Chinese have this traditional concept of returning to their roots when the leaves fall. If they can return to the motherland and honor their ancestors, or if they can use the motherland as a backer overseas, it is of course their inner wish.
Therefore, it is reasonable for Zhu Yongxing to open his arms and treat overseas Chinese with a completely different attitude, and the results will be effective. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
