Chapter 160: Nanyang Raiders

"Sun Bin, come sit down and taste the Brazilian cocoa tea." After Liu Pu and others left, Li Mingyuan ordered the guards to bring two cups of cocoa tea, and entertained.
Cocoa is one of Brazil's main cash crops and can be made into beverages and high-nutrition foods. It is one of the favorite beverages of the upper nobility in Europe.
Sun Bin took a cup of cocoa tea and put it on the desk, waiting for Li Mingyuan to speak.
"The mainland and the Nanyang region are a long way from Rio Grande do Sul, and the cost of transporting immigrants is huge, but Chinese immigrants are our roots. We cannot stop the immigration plan because of the huge cost of transport. I mean you should understand."
明 Li Mingyuan did not let Sun Binjiu wait, and sent the guards in the room to guard outside, and then said.
"The post does not oppose immigration, but the number of immigrants should be controlled within a certain scale. Moreover, the number of Rio Grande do Sul is more than 300,000. It is already a force that cannot be ignored in La Plata. We should use the relative A peaceful and stable international situation, developing domestic economic construction, fully integrating more than 300,000 people into Rio Grande do Sul, and stabilizing our basic Chinese population, and then there are plans to migrate in batches. "
"I have thought about your concerns, and what I said during the meeting will not change."
Li Mingyuan held up the tea cup without a panic, smelled the aroma of cocoa, and continued: "I left you to hear your opinions on our return to the mainland and Nanyang region. There are only two of us in the room. You Let go of it. "
Sun Bin only spoke a small part of his thoughts in the meeting just now, Li Mingyuan asked directly, and he did not cover up.
"My subordinates dare to ask, does Shizi want to fight back to the mainland to rebuild the kingdom of heaven?"
"Oh, why do you have this idea?" Li Ming stopped his tea cup in the air and his face quickly changed.
"When I was hanging out in Xinjing a few days ago, I accidentally heard several Defense Force officers discussing the topic of returning to the mainland. I was curious and wondered if Shizi supported the return to the mainland."
"I have heard something about what you said, but you are the first one to bring it up to me."
Li Mingyuan slowly put down the tea cup, looking complex: "To tell you the truth, after hearing the brothers talking about this, I have been very conflicted.
The mainland is the hometown of overseas Chinese. Rescuing Chinese brothers and sisters in the mainland is something I always want to do.
However, Manchu ruled the Central Plains for two hundred years. Most of the officials, landlords and ordinary people agreed with the Manchu rule. Not long after the Heavenly Uprising was extinguished by the Manchu dynasty, the uprising initiated by the Nianjun brothers had just failed. The Manqing government and the Han landowners who supported them were in a period of great strength, but they could not overthrow Manqing's rule by virtue of the National Defense Forces. "
"Shizi Mingjian, you led the South American Chinese brothers to build a country after a lot of hard work, and you cannot wage wars that are likely to fail because you sympathize with the people of the mainland."
"The matter on the mainland can only be seen one step at a time, but you don't have to worry about it, the Defense Forces will not provoke a war with the Qing until there is a reliable grasp."
Ended the discussion about dealing with Man Qing, and the conversation returned to the topic.
"The Nanyang region is the sphere of influence of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and France. No matter whether the Chinese are recruited from the mainland or the Nanyang region, they must pass through the colonies controlled by the three countries. Therefore, the attitudes of the three countries have a great impact on the success or failure of our transport of immigrants."
"What would you do if you were the Governor of the Three Kingdoms Nanyang Colony?" Li Mingyuan asked deliberately.
"The French colonial forces are in the Indo-China Peninsula. Northern Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos have not yet fallen into the hands of the French. Their next move in the Nanyang region should be the complete occupation of the three countries in the Indo-China Peninsula and it is unlikely to interfere with the transportation of the Chinese. .
The Netherlands weakened after Britain was defeated. Colonies in India and Africa were successively occupied by British and French powers. The Dutch East Indies became the largest colony in the Netherlands with the most economic interests.
The strength of the Dutch country was weak. After ceding Malacca and the northern part of Kalimantan, due to the acquiescence of the British, they could continue to rule the rest of the East Indies. After the Ming Dynasty, the Chinese immigrated to the South Ocean on a large scale, forming a huge force. Several Chinese forces have established an armed regime in the East Indies.
The expansion of the Chinese power has caused panic among the Dutch colonists. From more than forty years ago, the Dutch colonies began to annihilate the Chinese forces in a targeted manner. The countries occupied by Chinese such as South China Company and Dai Yanguo were successively annihilated by the Dutch, and the Dutch slaughtered the Chinese. Actions are also getting denser.
Because of the lack of national strength, the Netherlands certainly does not want to see us in the Nanyang region. They will worry that we will unite a scattered Nanyang Chinese and endanger their colonial rule. "
"The Dutch are a trouble, but there is a Lanfang company on the East Indies. Do you say they will help us transport immigrants?" Li Mingyuan interrupted Sun Bin and asked.
"Shizi, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Before coming to South America four years ago, the fleet stopped for a few days in Pontianak for repairs. In the port, the Lanfang company Chinese people you met saw only the Dutch, and also helped The Dutch crack down on rioting Chinese workers.
Under the office, the port forcedly listened to several free old Chinese who said that there were more than ten Chinese companies in Kalimantan. Several of them were powerful and defeated Lanfang. After Lanfang was defeated, they took refuge in it. The Dutch helped the Dutch to eliminate other Chinese companies, so there was only one Lanfang company on the Chinese company on Kalimantan. "
"Oh, Lanfang Company survived as a dog leg for the Dutch, but they used to look down on them."
Later generations were destroyed by the Dutch because of the Lanfang company. Out of sympathy, the news about Lanfang circulating on the Internet is bright.
But did not reveal the evil that Lan Fang helped outsiders to kill fellow people.
To understand the true face of the Island Lanfang Company from Sun Bin's mouth, Li Mingyuan was a little surprised, and soon returned to his usual mentality, and continued to ask: "It seems we can only find a way from the British colony, Sun Bin, the British horse Are there any older brothers who came to the colony? "
"After the failure of the kingdom of heaven, some of the heavenly brothers captured by British service were sold to Caribbean islands and Guyana. Most of the Chinese on the Malayan colony were ordinary Chinese who went to the sea to live in the coastal areas. There should not be many brothers in the kingdom of heaven."
Sun Bin thought for a while and answered.
"Nanyang is close to the mainland. The Chinese brothers who fled there may be worried about the Manchu government's pursuit and hiding in anonymity. Sun Bin, I intend to send you to Nanyang to organize immigration while investigating the whereabouts of the old brother in heaven."
明 Li Mingyuan left the tower alone, and deliberately asked him about the distribution of forces in the Nanyang area. Sun Bin already understood that Li Mingyuan was sending himself to Nanyang.
"His staff had previously opposed large-scale immigration. Shizi also handed over the immigration task to his staff. He would do his utmost to complete the immigration task so that he would not be disappointed." Sun Bin had an expectation. After Li Mingyuan proposed the task, he was firm Express your position.
"The forces of Britain, France, and Netherlands in the Nanyang region are intertwined. The local Chinese and indigenous people are not under the control of each other. There are not many talents available in Rio Grande do Sul, so you can only send you out. Will you not blame me?"
"Shizi trusts his subordinates and delivers heavy duty to his subordinates. He has only gratitude in his heart and never complains about him."
Sun Bin stood up immediately and said solemnly.
"You don't need to be so serious, you are loyal and stable, otherwise I won't leave you with many things."
Li Mingyuan encouraged Sun Bin to say a few words and continued: "Nanyang is the site of European powers. Too many people we send will cause their vigilance, so I will only send you 500 people. Then you pretend to be ordinary Chinese businessmen and act in Nanyang. "
"Five hundred people is enough, but my staff wants three people from the world."
"Say, who do you want?"
"Brothers waiting for a few years as pirates in the Caribbean Sea, the islands in the Nanyang area are scattered, and some things that cannot be solved on the countertop require the help of brothers like Waiter."
"Hou Taiyuan led hundreds of sailor brothers to establish a foothold in the Caribbean Sea. It is a good candidate to fight against black pirates."
明 Li Mingyuan nodded and agreed with Sun Bin.
"My staff heard that there are two new brothers who are returning with the brothers who are waiting. They want to take them away."
"Are you talking about Ah Chen and Liang Xing? Ah Chen's right leg amputated, I'm afraid he can't stand the ocean sailing, and Chen Sen and Hou Taiyuan recommended him to manage the engineering regiment. I agree with their suggestions. You ca n’t take him away. It's suitable, change it! "
Liang Xing himself is an excellent businessman. Sun Bin used him to deal with foreigners in the Nanyang area. Although Achen lived abroad for a short time, he was a military man. Li Mingyuan thought that sending him to Nanyang had little effect, so Rejected Sun Bin's proposal.
"Shizi, when we arrived in Nanyang, the first step was to buy land from a local indigenous Sudan to build a base, so a person who is proficient in fortifications like Ah Chen is indispensable, and when he saw Ah Chen two days ago, he also revealed that he was overseas The meaning of Shizi effectiveness. Shizi need not worry too much. "
"Transporting migrants requires our own base and stronghold. Your consideration is correct, and I agree with A Chen to follow you." Li Mingyuan carefully considered Sun Bin's suggestion, changed his previous thinking, and nodded: "Building a base and Defense facilities are indispensable. I will send another 100 engineers to you. When you leave, the troops will be divided into two fleets. When you arrive in Nanyang, you will arrange for them. "
"Thank you Shizi for your support." Sun Bin reached his goal. As soon as he said goodbye, he was stopped by Li Mingyuan. "Don't leave in a hurry, I have something to tell you."
明 Li Mingyuan said as he took a hand-drawn map from the study, spread it out on his desk, and explained, "This is a Nanyang map I bought from the British."
Sun Bin walked to the desk and focused his eyes on the map. The map was divided into three areas with three colors, and a small area remained as it was, not colored.
"Green is the area actually controlled by the Dutch, red is the British colony of the Straits and North Kalimantan, green is the area currently controlled by the French, and the blank area is the independent or ownerless area. When you arrive in the Nanyang, you ’ll first be in white Establish bases in the region to prevent destruction by foreigners. "
虽然 Although the three kingdoms of the Indochina Peninsula were not completely controlled by France, France was bound to obtain the three kingdoms, so they were painted light green. Excluding the three countries in the Indochina Peninsula, there are mainly three unpainted areas. The first is the central Malay Peninsula, which includes the four independent indigenous countries of Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Perak and Pahang, and the Chinese Songkhla regime in Thailand.
The second piece is mainly the Pontianak area controlled by Lanfang Company and Natun Natu Island temporarily controlled by the local Chinese.
The third block is the remote and barren New Guinea Island.
In the three white areas, New Guinea Island is remote, far from the migrant transportation channel, and it is not easy to survive on the island. It was first sent by Sun Bin. Lanfang Company turned to the Dutch. It is more risky to operate in Lanfang, and Central Malay The area is under the rule of indigenous Sudan, they allow the Chinese to buy land for mining, and Sun Bin chose to establish a stronghold and immigration base.
Sun Bin pointed out his choice, but was rejected by Li Mingyuan.
"Four Central Malay countries are trapped between Thailand and the British colonies, which can easily lead to war conflicts, and the local gangs are powerful. As outsiders, establishing bases in the central Malay Peninsula will be subject to their exclusion and blows, so they stand firm. Before your heels, do n’t develop forces there.

The British only allowed the four central Malay countries, such as Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Perak, and Pahang, to maintain independence. The four countries were used as a buffer zone between Thailand and the strait colonies to maintain the stability of the strait colonies. Later, civil strife broke out in the four countries, and the indigenous Sudanese and Chinese Association parties Gang forces killed each other, and then the local Chinese Communist Party leader persuaded the indigenous sultans to put the country under British protection. Only then did the four countries formally become protectors of the British Channel colony.
Although the four countries in the central Malay Peninsula are not as good as the British Straits colonies, they are also close to the Malacca Straits. They are an ideal transit base for the transportation of Chinese people. Taking the four countries as the base is what Li Mingyuan wants to do, but they have to wait until the time is right. At the beginning of the construction of the base in central Malay, the only option left was Natunatu Island ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Natunatu Island covers an area of ​​only 2100 square kilometers. Due to its proximity to the equator, the island has a sparse population. There are only a few thousand Chinese and a small number of indigenous people.
贫 The barren land and limited economic benefits, the Dutch did not control the income of Natuna until after the extinction of Lanfang.
Natunatu Island is currently in a state of no-ownership. The National Defense Forces preempt the Dutch to occupy it. Later, the Natuna Islands can become the Chinese territory.
"After arriving in the Nanyang by boat, you first controlled Natuna Island, then disguised as a Chinese businessman, landed in the Kuching area of ​​North Kalimantan Island, purchased land from the local Sarawak sultan, and recruited Chinese from nearby areas to establish Chinese in Sarawak. Gathering area, while transporting Chinese and supplies to Natuna Island, build Natuna Island into the first base of the National Defense Forces in Nanyang. "
Sun Bin walked along where Li Mingyuan was pointing and found a small spot on the map.
"Son, Natuna is located between Kalimantan and the Malay Peninsula. Will we cause interference from Britain and the Netherlands after we occupy it?"
"There are many ports in the Malay Peninsula and the big islands around the South Ocean. They would not use Natuna Island as a shipping port. Otherwise, Natuna Island would have been occupied by them, and there would be opportunities for us."
Li Mingyuan's words dispelled part of Sun Bin's concerns, but out of distrust of foreigners, Sun Bin secretly reminded himself to be extremely careful when acting in the Nanyang region, not to reveal his true identity prematurely, especially not to make the Dutch detect abnormalities. .
