Some things happened in this village, but there is no such store!
In fact, for Zhu Xianhai, it is not that he has not considered his hometown in the Central Plains, but what era was the 1870s?
It was the last carving up of the world by the great powers. This frenzy of carving up directly established the international sphere of influence of future great powers.
Not only the international sphere of influence, but also the basis of international influence!
Let’s not talk about the empire on which the sun never sets like the UK. Let’s talk about France. In the 21st century, there are endless jokes about insulting the law. It is a joy to insult the law every day, but how many people know that France is in front of Africa?
How great was the influence of the colonies? France's influence far exceeded their imagination. When Chinese engineers and workers were kidnapped locally, they asked the French for help. Businessmen in China were blackmailed by local officials and police, and even
At the time of the shooting, even the poorest French people could still live a life of superiority in those places, and officials and police still treated them with awe. Such differential treatment was because they were French.
In fact, the status of various countries in former colonies is generally the same. Even if it is as weak as Italy, even in the 21st century, it still exerts an extremely important influence in Somalia.
And when was this influence established?
It was what they had during the colonization of the local area during the partition frenzy in the late 19th century. Even if those colonies became independent, so what? The companies of the former sovereign country still occupy the most important local minerals and still control them.
Due to the local economic lifeline, even officials are proud to settle in the sovereign country.
Those latecomers to civilization?
Even if it is waving banknotes, what about machinery?
In other people's eyes, he is just someone who has been taken advantage of!
That's right, it's you. Several people in the East Asian Monster Room have played such roles.
But it is different now. The last colonial craze on the little blue star has not yet started. As long as he seizes the opportunity, Zhu Xianhai is sure to win his place in the world for China.
China has a vast land and abundant resources!
That's nonsense!
Compared to the world, China is too small!
There are too many people living here, such a large number of Chinese people. If they are trapped in their homeland, the vast majority of them will only fall into hunger and poverty, and will only fall into war and famine. The world is so big, take them out of their homeland of China
!
"Give me your tiredness, poverty, and all the living beings longing for freedom!"
With their participation, Zhu Xianhai could seize the opportunity to fight for China's own living space on this planet in this craze. This living space will not change because of time or the change of dynasties.
Everything belongs to China!
On one side is China’s homeland, and on the other is the world! If we miss the most precious opportunity for our homeland, it would be a crime against the Chinese nation.
But what about the homeland?
What is the situation in China’s homeland now?
Governor Li controlled Shandong, Henan, northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui. The Huai army also stationed in Shaanxi and Gansu. Zeng Shatou controlled Huguang. Zeng Laojiu went to Sichuan. They used to suppress the rebellion, but these "I Tatars"
How loyal were the great loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty?
In order to exchange for guns, machinery and other commodities, they sold them one by one with great pleasure.
It is better to support them to support their own troops than to let the Qing Dynasty "measure China's material resources and please its allies." Besides, after they support their own troops and stand on their own feet, they may be able to change their ways and become stronger without any ties!
Who knows?
For the sake of their own family business, they are always willing to spend money, plus a kingdom of heaven. In order to make their own families stronger and to dominate the world in the future, these forces will definitely reform, change the law, and seek to become stronger. Otherwise,
The only fate is to be eaten.
Just like "raising gu", you can always raise a strong person. As for the melee between warlords, Mr. Li will not break up with his mentor!
No matter how bad things get, it’s not too late to wait for him twenty or thirty years until the outside world is almost divided and then go back to his hometown!
Therefore, what Liu Kunpeng said to Mr. Li was from the bottom of his heart, and it was also the official policy of Ming Dynasty. All Ming Dynasty needs is people!
"Give me your tiredness, poverty, and all the living beings longing for freedom!"
For the poor and hungry Chinese people, what they long for is not freedom, at most it is freedom of food. What they long for is to have a full meal!
Unlike the people along the Yangtze River, the north, and the central part of the country who went to South America through rivers and railways, the people of Guangdong and Guangxi, especially the conflicts between natives and tourists, millions of Guangdong people crossed the sea by boat and went to Nanyang. The vast majority of them
Most of them were treated as "piglets" and signed contracts to work as coolies. After long-term hard labor, most of these Chinese laborers finally redeemed themselves and regained their freedom. Most of them chose to stay in the local area.
Nanyang is like another Nanhua, another place for millions of Chinese people to escape poverty and find a way to make a living.
In March 1871, when the earth was rejuvenating, a fleet of two warships left Hong Kong and headed south.
For the nearly 800 sailors on the two warships "Tianryu" and "Aoryu", this is just a voyage. They left Rinkai Port last year, crossed the Pacific Ocean and arrived in Naha, where they took a short rest.
After that, it sailed to the Bohai Bay. Although Liu Kunpeng and others who had been detained at this time had been released, and the two sides even signed a treaty. However, as part of the show of force, the fleet still joined the French Far East Fleet in the Bohai Bay for a long period of time.
Half a month of practice.
In fact, this is a gunboat demonstration!
Later, they visited Haizhou and Tianjing, and paid homage to the Xiaoling Mausoleum in Tianjing. As a reward from the visit, the Kingdom of Heaven specially allocated 500,000 taels of silver to repair the Xiaoling Mausoleum. After all, it was Zhu Da's.
The emperor's ancestral mausoleum, in order to make friends with the Ming Dynasty, the Kingdom of Heaven also spent a lot of money.
After the fleet sailed south to Hong Kong, it continued southward. As usual, the sailors were conducting routine training. While the sailors were training, Zhao Yongfu, as the special envoy, was studying the
The information about Nanyang obtained from Haizhou and Hong Kong made him think about going to Nanyang.
“When we go back this time, we can’t come back empty-handed!”
With this thought in his mind, Zhao Yongfu once again looked through the information he had. He could only succeed in this matter and not be under pressure to fail.
Even though I feel confident in my heart, I still feel a little heavy when I think about everything I might encounter.
After all, if this matter is to be handled smoothly, there are various factors involved!
"The key still depends on the fleet!"
With this thought in his mind, Zhao Yongfu walked out of the cabin. As soon as he reached the deck, he heard the orders of the officers on the deck. Following the fate of the officers, the iron plates on the side of the cabin were lowered, and the naval guns pointed directly at the side.
Captain Meng Qing'en, commander of the squadron, stood on the bridge with a serious expression as always. He watched the sailors practicing every day. Walking onto the bridge, Zhao Yongfu said.
"Chief Meng, where are we now?"
Meng Qingen replied without turning his head,
"Tomorrow, we will arrive in Singapore."
Singapore is also called Nanyang. Zhao Yongfu is full of expectations for that land...
