Chapter 20 Pre-War Reconnaissance
When Wushan said the names of those countries, he was already full of hope and looked at the southeast.
There, there is the sullen Jiang Ning, and the Dogroni who snatched from Al.
That day, when Jingshi talked about Dogge, Wang Yongxing also told an interesting thing.
After staying in Lanfang, Dogroni became motivated to study Chinese seriously.
He reads all the history books he can find, every day. One day, I saw Dolgon.
Europeans are very concerned about the status of nobility.
Dogge was whimsical, thinking that he and Dolgon had many surnames and should be a family.
Who is Dorgon? It was the royal family of the Qing Dynasty. I'll go, that's a serious aristocrat.
One day, he went to visit Liu's house. The Liu family is naturally very curious about this blonde foreigner.
In the battle with the Javanese, Dogge contributed a lot, and the Chinese all saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts.
Later, he and Jiang Ning worked together.
Taizu's theory that the countryside surrounds the city amazed the Italian.
Each time, the local bullies were arrested and criticized until they were shot, and the enthusiasm of the natives to join the army was high.
As a result, there are also natives in the Lan Fong army, and they hate the Javanese government as much.
Dogg is learning every day and improving every day.
On that day, it was the birthday of Liu Wanzhong, the head of the Liu family, and he was specially invited to attend the birthday banquet.
During the banquet, Duoge, who can speak well, has become the center.
This point is incomparable to Jiang Ning, he is the person who takes the whole situation of me, and he usually doesn't talk much.
After eating, the Liu family gathered around Dogge and listened to him tell stories they hadn't heard of.
"Mr. Dogroni, can you tell me the origin of your name?" A gentle voice came out of the crowd.
Follow the voice and look over. Wow, that's a standard Oriental beauty's face.
Dog, who claimed to be a well-read reader, also swallowed his spit secretly, and replied more and more politely: "Hello Miss, I am a descendant of Dorgon. Dolgon, that is our Chinese royal family, accidentally, one of the descendants was exiled to Italy. β
After speaking, this girl spread her hands proudly and gave a look that you know.
The crowd dispersed.
Because of these Nanyang Chinese, many of their ancestors were in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Migrated from the mainland. They did not have the slightest good impression of the Manchus and the Qing Dynasty.
Only the gentle woman was blushing, covering her mouth and smiling, still standing there.
She is Liu Ruomei. Yoo Man-jung's eldest daughter.
Speaking of which, Liu Ruomei's life is not good. Her fiancΓ©. It is to be compulsory.
was supposed to get married that year. Who knew that the Xiang family was actually a traitor?
After this incident, Liu Ruomei no one asked anymore, as if this person did not exist.
When Dogroni heard about it, he was overjoyed, and asked Jiang Ning to be a matchmaker on the same day.
After Wu Shan heard this, he couldn't help but feel amused by this guy's Chinese level.
Foreigners learn Chinese. It still takes time to precipitate, constantly communicate with Chinese people and even live together.
I hope this guy will never have such a foreign appearance in the future.
Thousands of miles away, Doge couldn't help but sneeze.
"Doge. You can't have a cold, right? "This adjutant was Fabio, his former comrade-in-arms in the Italian army.
"Damn, how many times have I told you, Dogger means dog in English." Dogg snapped: "You guy, how many more times am I going to tell you?" My name is Rogge, a pure Chinese name, do you understand? β
"Good, Doge." Fabio smiled and agreed, and accidentally called out again.
Dogge didn't bother to correct: "Fabio, what do you think we should do to scout in person?" β
The situation in the countryside of Java is not very clear in the city, but it is becoming more and more vigilant.
Recently, the inventory of Chinese entering the city has been strengthened. In more than 10 days, more than 10 Chinese were shot dead on the edge of the city.
This is also the reason why Jiangning and they are determined to take Xindang, there is such a garrison near the base area, like a fish in the throat.
The information at hand is not very sufficient. The troop deployment was a few months ago, and God knows if there is any change in the Dao now.
If you send Chinese soldiers, you might be killed outside the city.
In that case, it is better to attack directly and reduce unnecessary casualties.
"Huh?" Fabio's eyes widened: "Oh my God, Dog, are you crazy?" There is a war coming soon, and you still go to scouting? What should I do if I get caught by a Javanese monkey? β
"Cold salad!" Dogge gave him a roll of the eyes: "Do you know the way?" The first battle I became famous with the young master was to go to the warship to reconnoitre. Man, you know, on a warship, there are Javanese everywhere. They didn't treat me badly, but, yes! β
How many times he told this story to Fabio, and when he saw that the other party was bored, he stopped talking.
"Are you really going?" After Jiang Ning heard this, he was not too surprised: "Then you should be careful yourself." β
Lan Fangjun's revolution is somewhat deformed.
On the one hand, the families themselves are large landowners and capitalists; On the other hand, it is necessary to exterminate these landlords and capitalists of the indigenous people.
The Chinese were relatively benevolent to the workers in their rubber plantations, sugar cane plantations, or factories on this land.
Among ordinary people, the image is still quite good. Therefore, it is not wrong for Lan Fangjun to target the indigenous bullies.
In the local tyrants who criticize or shoot, they will still be carefully screened.
As long as it is not a heinous crime, it is extremely heinous, and so on, we must leave a way for these people to live.
Nanyang Chinese have always treated the locals with the kindness of the Chinese.
The name of Dogroni is not known to many people.
That is, some local family heads or something, understand the details of this Italian.
Later, it was rumored that Lu went away, that is, in the Lan Fang army, there was a foreigner surnamed Luo.
Fabio has not yet appeared in the public eye.
Therefore, if two foreigners act together, the problem is not very big.
Jiang Ning was more cautious and sent a platoon of troops to secretly protect the two Italians.
Sindang is the capital of West Kalimantan Province.
Javanese, on Kalimantan. There are three provinces.
Indigenous people are indigenous people, and they are very random in their names.
The eastern part is called East Kalimantan Province, and the central part is called Central Kalimantan Province.
Lan Fangjun has always been active in the countryside.
It is next to Lake Centalun, Lanfang's home base.
Jiang Ning and Duoge also wanted to fight a tough battle to remove the biggest threat around.
On the island of Kalimantan, the largest river is the Kapuas River.
Two upstream tributaries, where Xindang meets, flow westward into the South China Sea.
Speaking of which, this is a provincial capital, and the total population is only about 100,000.
In Xindang. The traffic is not convenient, and the busiest are the various boats that keep shuttling in the river.
These boats range from hand-rowed wooden boats to two or three motorized boats.
The cost of crossing the river from the river to the other side by wooden boat is Rs 500, and the price of a motorized boat has quadrupled.
The sun at noon was unusually hot. The sun makes people have cats at home.
There are no plants on the side of the street.
Occasionally, there is a frangipani tree, a banyan tree, or something, and the leaves are curled in the sun.
Reputedly. There used to be fruit trees like coconut, durian, mango and papaya in the city as well. There are also cash crops such as palm and betel nut.
When the Dutch ruled the area, they ordered it all to be cut down to keep the city tidy.
On the street, there is occasionally hot air rising from a few restaurants.
Whenever someone came over and asked what to eat, I was weak enough to reply: "You can eat whatever you want, mixed mixed vegetables, satay (kebabs), grilled fish, roast beef, roast mutton." Vegetarian dishes include fried tofu and fried bean sprouts."
Occasionally, there is also a Chinese restaurant.
The Javanese authorities continue to brutalize the Chinese, and the scale that has survived is one of the largest in the entire city.
At this time, two Westerners came from the street.
Ruled by Western countries for hundreds of years. Javanese people do not have the same fear of foreigners as Chinese before the reform and opening up, which is a kind of ignorance.
A messy lady sold under a big banyan tree: "Fried rice, coconut milk rice, turmeric rice, there is not much left, come and buy it, deal with it cheaply." β
These two foreigners are naturally Doge, who volunteered to come over to reconnoitre, and Fabio, who sacrificed his life to accompany the gentleman.
For the provoking mother, it is a female Chinese overseas Chinese selling along the street, and the two have seen a lot in the town before.
But they are all a messy girl, usually two or three Javanese people, who carry the burden along the street in the early morning to sell, and there are all kinds of pastries.
"Are you hungry?" Dogg asked his companion.
Ever since Fabio entered the city, he had been distracted, sometimes looking around to see if anyone was paying attention to them.
After walking for a long time, no one was looking.
From time to time, I met Javanese soldiers who set up sentry posts to collect taxes, and when I saw two foreigners, I didn't even collect money, and I passed by with a wave of my hand.
Fabio's mood gradually calmed down.
Hearing Dogge's question, he was stunned for a moment: "Oh? Not bad. β
"It's a little bit on the hour, I'm hungry." With that, Dog led the way to the banyan tree.
"What are you two going to do?" The girl's eyes shined.
Dogge is very experienced, and he took the rice and side dishes wrapped in banana leaves close and sniffed them: "It's not bad, I'll have two coconut milk rice." Brother, what do you want? β
"It's so beautiful," Fabio stared at the girl stupidly, "Dog, I finally understand why you want to stay in the East." She's also Chinese, right? β
"Nonsense," Dogg glared at his compatriot who looked like a pig, "haven't you seen a Javanese monkey?" They all look like unevolved apes, like black people. β
Fabio salivated, and his eyes kept on the mother: "Haven't I seen it?" β
The girl saw the two of them muttering something there, and one of the men kept staring at her, surely talking about something related to herself.
At that moment, she blushed: "Sir, these are your two servings of coconut milk rice." β
"That's good, thank you." Dogge smiled apologetically at her: "Give this gentleman two servings too, and one of us a side dish, let's mix cucumbers." β
"Do you speak Chinese?" That girl's eyes widened.
"Isn't it Chinese I've been talking to you?" Dogger laughed and laughed.
Seeing that Fabio was still staring, he stopped: "It's rude to look at Chinese girls like this." Okay, I'll take you to my wife's house another day so you can meet the beautiful woman. β
He sneered, "Really? I thought she would appreciate my admiration for her beauty. β
I heard that I was going to take him to meet beautiful women, that is, more beautiful than this? Fabio withdrew his gaze.
The girl looked around vigilantly and saw that there was no one around.
She lowered her voice: "Are you Lan Fangjun?" β
"Huh?" Dogger looked over, and his eyes were so frightened that he sat on the ground.
She hurriedly shook her hands: "I have no ill will towards you, hurry up and liberate here, the Chinese can't live anymore." β
If it weren't for the long-term stay with Chinese, foreigners would not be proficient in speaking Chinese.
Perhaps that's why she guessed.
My father used to have a medium-sized restaurant near here.
The Javanese in the city have successively established various units.
There is itself an indigenous government of the city defense army, police, taxation, salt industry, almost every department has its own armament.
Every armed force was formed to levy heavy taxes on Chinese shops.
At first, her father could barely cope.
In recent years, the indigenous people have continued to suppress and kill the Chinese.
The main source of customers for Chinese hotels is overseas Chinese.
In this way, the restaurant gradually made ends meet, relying on the old capital to live.
Later, when there was no money to pay taxes, he directly arrested the people, saying that they would let their families raise money to collect them.
The house was sold at a low price, which was not enough for half of the fine, forcing her to come out every day to be a messy girl and sell along the street.
The girl has a good memory, mainly because she has lived here since she was a child and is very familiar with the environment. The city is not big.
At the moment, she drew the address of the army that she had learned about the establishment of each department and drew it on the ground with a tree branch.
Dogge looked at it and quickly memorized it, sometimes asking a sentence or two where it was not clear.
When they left, they left more than half of the money on their bodies, and they refused to accept it.
"Girl, that's your fault." Dogge Zhengse said: "We eat your food, and we should pay for it." Your information is invaluable. If we don't go back and use the money on the way, we will give it all to you. β
According to the sketch she made, the two of them checked everywhere as if they were shopping.
This is also called the army? The two men were dumbfounded.
Even the city defense army is no more than 180 guns.
Many of the other troops didn't even have a gun.
Dogg took Fabio with him and happily set out on his way home. (To be continued......)
