- During the rest of the voyage, the further south Zhao Hao became, the more silent he became.
Because beside the South China Sea is Nanyang, which is the ever-lasting pain and regret of the Chinese nation. It is the eternal place of death where the dignity and lives of the Han people were brutally slaughtered.
Nanyang is the natural sphere of influence and barrier of the Central Plains dynasty, and it will naturally establish the Chinese world of the Chinese civilization circle.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? was indeed the case. Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, generations of overseas Chinese have left their hometowns and gone to Nanyang. With their hard work and wisdom, they have changed the situation of Nanyang countries that were very backward, both culturally and economically.
This is a fact recognized by later Western colonists and local rulers. The Siamese royal family once said, ¡®Without overseas Chinese, no business in the palace would be possible¡¯. Even the British Governor of the Straits Settlements admitted that the prosperity of the Malay Peninsula was ¡®all caused by overseas Chinese¡¯.
When the Western colonists came to this land, they found that the lazy local indigenous people had no hope at all. Whether it is mining or operating plantations, we can only rely on overseas Chinese. Not to mention the difficult business of doing business. Before the 19th century, tin mines in Malaysia were dug out by overseas Chinese with hoe after hoe! There are also gold and copper mines in Java, which have also been operated by Chinese.
Generations of overseas Chinese have brought advanced culture to the local area, which has greatly promoted local progress. Through labor and management, they controlled most of the wealth in Nanyang and also built Nanyang into a Chinese civilization circle surrounding the South China Sea.
They have done everything they can. As long as the motherland takes the step of going south, they can easily take Nanyang into their pockets and become kings forever.
However, from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, at this point, they were just as stupid and unforgivable. Their eyes only focus on their homeland and never want to see the world. The rulers regard the common people as their own private property. If they leave their homeland, they are fugitives and abandoned people who violate the laws of nature!
History has proven them wrong! When the country is in crisis, it is the overseas Chinese in Nanyang who actively donate and return home to revitalize China! When the country was lost, the overseas Chinese in Nanyang resolutely sold their belongings and returned home to face the national disaster together! The Chinese nation can overcome a century of national humiliation and rejuvenate, and the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia have made great contributions!
However, all dynasties and dynasties have not given them even a little bit of protection. And they are too rich and capable
So they could only arm the colonists to the teeth and massacre them again and again, so as not to threaten the colonial rule.
They were also massacred and robbed time and again by the indigenous people who had superior numbers, just out of jealousy and jealousy
Anyone can massacre them, because the motherland is unwilling or unable to be their backer. In many cases, it even sides with the executioner and supports their massacre! To deter newcomers in the country Look, this is the fate of escaping! Let's see where you are going to escape?
The lofty status of the Chinese people in Nanyang has also been completely marginalized in these massacres and anti-Chinese attacks.
The first person to raise a butcher's knife was the Spaniard who was cruel and slaughtered the Americas!
In the 31st year of Wanli, in 1603 AD, Spain carried out its first massacre, killing 25,000 overseas Chinese. After the first massacre, the Spanish were very worried that the Ming Dynasty would retaliate, and the entire Philippines was panicked. Many Spaniards even moved their families back to Mexico.
However, Ming Dynasty did not respond for a long time. It is not known whether it was preparing its army for war or not caring. The Spanish Governor-General of the Philippines couldn't bear it anymore, so he wrote a confusing letter to prove his "innocence" and had it sent to Beijing.
However, at that time, the Ming Dynasty had just experienced three major conquests, and its treasury was empty and had no power to fight anymore. In addition, Wanli regarded the overseas Chinese as fugitives and believed that their death would not be a pity, so naturally he would not travel thousands of miles to fight for them. So he only asked someone to write a message and verbally scare the Spaniards. The general idea is that you deserve death, but Nian is a first-time offender, and the Chinese overseas are also sinners, so there will be no punishment this time. But if I don¡¯t do this next time, I¡¯ll settle the old and new accounts with you.
The Spaniards were not frightened when they received the message, but were convinced that these Chinese immigrants were not human beings in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, and death would not be a pity! Is there anything to be afraid of? Everyone, come back!
And Emperor Wanli¡¯s connivance made the Spanish no longer fear the Ming Dynasty. 30 years later, because the Chinese flourished in Luzon again, Spain launched a second massacre against the Chinese.
This time another 25,000 people were massacred. The corpses polluted the river water in Manila to the point where it was not drinkable for half a year. The fish in it became big and fat, but the locals did not dare to eat fish for a long time.
Thirty years later, the Chinese in Luzon recovered their strength for the third time, and the Spaniards massacred 25,000 Chinese for the third time. At this time, Zheng Chenggong, who had regained Taiwan, was very angry after hearing the news, so he stepped up his army preparations for war and prepared to go south to Luzon to annihilate the Spanish forces in one fell swoop.People take revenge and expand their territory.
The clouds of war enveloped Manila. The Spaniards were really scared this time and were once again ready to evacuate at any time.
However, before the troops were sent out, the surnamed master suddenly died of a mysterious illness. In order to fight for the throne, his son fell into civil strife, and the Spaniards escaped another disaster
This is just Luzon alone, and compared with Chinese elsewhere, the tragedy suffered by the Chinese in Luzon is still minor.
So how can you ask Zhao Hao to calm down? How could you ignore it?
The burden of history is too heavy! Even though this burden hadn't happened yet in this time and space, it was already so heavy that he couldn't breathe.
We must prevent the massacre of overseas Chinese at all costs, and it must not happen even once! Otherwise, he will never forgive himself in this life.
"You wait for me, I will protect you!" The Pingjiang was sailing in the vast sea, and Mr. Zhao looked south and roared.
??~~
Although Zhao Hao was very anxious, he wished he could spread his wings and fly to Luzon. Unfortunately, the weather was not kind and the wind was mostly southerly along the way. As a result, the fleet only arrived in Keelung at the end of April.
The crew was exhausted from sailing against the wind for a month, and their supplies were almost exhausted. No matter how anxious Zhao Hao was, he could only agree to enter the port for supplies.
When entering the port, Zhao Hao saw that at the entrance of the trumpet-shaped Keelung Port, the three islands of Dajilong Island, Tongpan Island and Zhongshanzi Island have been connected by concrete breakwaters. This can not only protect against wind and waves, but also greatly reduce the difficulty of defense. However, the Coast Guard and Coast Guard troops guarding this place still rebuilt the fort. Two three-dimensional bastions stand on both sides of the bay, forming a crossfire, enough to dispel the ambitions of any enemy from the sea.
After entering the bay, we saw that Keelung Port has begun to take shape. A row of tall Popeye cranes are loading the coal accumulated at the dock, and then transport it to Tamsui, Yilan, and even farther away by the fleet affiliated to the management committee. Chiayi, Fengshan and other places
It is obvious that Keelung Coal Mine has been successfully put into operation, but its production capacity is still far less than that of Changguang Coal Mine.
Chairman Tang, who greeted Zhao Hao, reported that the current biggest restriction on production capacity is because the coal mine is located along the coast, so water seepage is very serious. The Management Committee is the first unit to order Zhangjian steam engines. The first big one has been shipped on Xishan Island and will be sent to Keelung before the typhoon season. Hopefully, by then, things will be much improved.
Before that, we could only rely on labor teams dispatched from the mainland to manually drain the kilns.
Now Keelung belongs to Tamsui County, Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province. It is also a traditional skill of all dynasties to assign criminal officials and criminals to open up frontier areas.
When he went ashore to rest, Zhao Hao was surprised to find that in just over two years and less than three years, this place was already quite prosperous.
After leaving the pier, I saw two rows of two-story buildings on both sides of the long Keelung River. Although the style is relatively dull and monotonous, with the various signboards hanging up and the waiters speaking Hokkien greetings, it does look like a small town with a bustling business.
"How could this place be developing so fast?" Mr. Zhao said suddenly, "It can't be done just by coal mines. Is it because of gold mines?"
¡°Nothing can be hidden from the Young Master!¡± Tang Youde proudly reported to Zhao Hao that the ore prospecting technician from Japan soon discovered a gold mine in Jinguashi.
While he organized people to mine with great fanfare, he also asked people to spread the news of the discovery of gold deposits in Jinguashi along the coast of Fujian. As a result, countless people came across the sea. With the help of the gold rush, Keelung's population naturally expanded rapidly.
"You have to be careful, the people gathered in the gold rush are very restless." Mr. Zhao reminded him: "Once there is a conflict in the mine, it may cause trouble."
"Don't worry, sir, the gold rush is just a gimmick to attract people." Tang Youde said with a smile: "While they are digging for gold, I will let people publicize it, come to Taiwan for reclamation, give land and cattle seeds, provide food, housing, and treat diseases there are many People gradually figured it out, so they joined the farm and reclaimed the land along the Keelung River. The land they created was much more valuable than the little gold sand they mined by hand!"
"Haha, good, I really belong to you!" Zhao Hao suddenly realized, patted Tang Youde's big belly and said, "In addition to being fat, you are full of ideas!"
"Hehe, we, Old Tang, are afraid that we will disappoint the young master's expectations." Tang Youde grinned and said, "I have to rack my brains to think about it."
"Okay, Taiwan Tang is in the hands of the chairman, I can rest assured!" Mr. Zhao said with a smile.
??~~
After resting for two days in Keelung and replenishing supplies, the fleet set sail again.
Before leaving, the aboriginal representative of the cooperative suddenly found Tang Youde and had a chat.
Fatty Tang hurriedly translated to the young master, saying that this man was the leader of the Kamalan people, and in the name of the great king, he was invited to go to Yilan.
"Have you heard about your Majesty?" When Zhao Hao heard this, he thought of the pure and lustful Hei Changzhi, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. "She is in Taiwan?"
"Your Majesty spends most of the year in Taiwan now." Tang Youde nodded.
"What's the matter with her?"
"I didn't say anything, I just said that I could help the young master." Tang Youde said.
"Oh?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but said in surprise: "Could it be that this goddess is really good at something?"
"I am Zhu's daughter." Tang Youde corrected in a low voice: "The monarch has a high prestige in Taiwan."
"Then go see her." Zhao Hao swallowed his saliva and said.
