Chapter 125: The History of Blood and Tears of the Chinese in Southeast Asia
(Reason for being late: I had already written a chapter, but I didn't dare to post it.) Personally, don't write about it.,Thinking about the special period.,I think it looks like that chapter is something special.γ The general ones have to be tried, not to mention so radical, don't say it, start coding words. I saw a lot of information here, cried, and felt uncomfortable. I really want to be able to gallop like the protagonist in reality. οΌ
Just when everyone in Beijing was talking, Wushan had already taken everyone to the headquarters of the Huacheng Military Region.
Hey, this momentum is like welcoming a few brigade-level cadres. Of course, Mr. Rong Fusheng is not counted, he returned to Beijing to report on his work.
I don't know what Xu Shiyou, the old man, thinks, a banner of more than 10 meters, which reads "Warmly welcome the heroes of the reunification of the motherland home", almost all the dignitaries and dignitaries of the Huacheng Military Region Command are among the welcoming crowd. Wu Shan and the others had sour hands. Unexpectedly, Tian Guanghua was also in the crowd. When the two met, they smiled, and everything was in plain sight.
The flow of people gradually dispersed, and Wu Shan and his party were welcomed into the conference room.
"Uncle Xu, which one are you doing?" Wu Shan lowered his voice.
The old man took off his military hat, as if his hair was also laughing: "Xiaoshan, you don't know what to do." To liberate Taiwan Island, I just sent a partial division here, and Xiao Jun's kid led the troops over. The old man felt uncomfortable, such a good opportunity, let Lao Jun and Lao Xue divide all the meat and bones, and Lao Tzu drank some soup. Hehe, what's the matter, the heroes are all back to me. β
The obscene look made Wushan feel funny: "Go to the First Plenary Session of the Central Committee immediately, and slap those people's faces fiercely." Grandma's, some people laughed at me, saying that the above thought that I was brave and unscrupulous, and they didn't let me go, and my heart was panicked. Now, my whole body is comfortable. β
Wu Shan's face became solemn: "Old man, the Jingshi won't let you go, it's definitely not the reason you said." β
"You mean?" Xu Shiyou's hand pointed to the southeast: "I think so too, it's too restless over there." The Annanites and the Soviets got closer and closer, establishing a naval base in Cam Ranh Bay. The Annanite attack on Chenla simply turned a deaf ear to our country's duties. I have long found out that these people are constantly increasing troops in the border areas of our country. β
"Why don't you think I'm coming back?" Wu Shan threw a roll of his eyes: "As long as you are a soldier, you want to fight." However, at the moment my goal is not in Annam. Take a detour and stab them in the back first! β
"Ha Luha, you kid is to my liking." The old man was just stunned for a moment, and his voice became louder: "I have applied for the establishment of a mixed brigade. By the way, your former company that used to stay with me has entered this unit. β
"Where's your mountain master?" Wu Shan was a little skeptical that the mountain division had been evacuated.
"Humph!" Old Xu was angry: "There is no Zhang butcher, don't eat hairy pigs?" Boy, our army, leave everyone to turn the same. Lao Tzu put those people into your army again, so that you can integrate and master the army faster. β
The structure of the mixed brigade has finally been decided. Brigade Commander Wu Shan, Political Commissar Zhang Haogu, Chief of Staff Gao Hongquan, Deputy Political Commissar Dao Chaoren, Deputy Chief of Staff Tan Jing. Wushan had long known that Tan Jing and Dao Chaoren had suffered heavy casualties in the battle for the airport. If it weren't for Zhang Haogu in front, the first to be criticized would be this pair of difficult brothers.
At this time, Wushan had already left the army and entered Southeast Asia.
Looking back on history, the fate of the Chinese in Southeast Asia is a bloodstained history, and the massacre of the Chinese seems to be a historical tradition in Southeast Asia. Sadly, every time the Chinese were slaughtered, the indifference of the Chinese government at that time seemed to be traditional.
Historically, as early as the Tang Dynasty, Chinese went to Nanyang to make a living, but the number was still very large, and since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of Chinese expatriates have gone to Southeast Asia to make a living. With their ingenuity and industrious hands, the Chinese amassed a large amount of wealth and quickly became the wealthy class of the local area. However, since the arrival of Westerners in Southeast Asia in the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty, the Chinese have faced hatred from the local indigenous people and brutal repression by Western colonizers.
In 1603, the first massacre of the Chinese in Luzon was carried out by the Spanish colonial rulers and their indigenous accomplices, in which 30,000 Chinese died and countless properties were looted and plundered.
In 1639, the second massacre occurred, resulting in the basic extinction of the overseas Chinese in Luzon, and the total number of overseas Chinese killed in the Philippines reached 22,000 to 24,000. "There are several rivers where the water has been so contaminated with corpses that it is inedible for six months, and many leagues around [Manila], the fish in the rivers have grown fat by eating human flesh, so people can't even eat fish."
In 1662, the Third Holocaust took place, and it is estimated that no less than 25,000 Chinese were killed. A Western historian said: "The original intention of the Spaniards was to kill every Chinese." However, this intention was abandoned due to the inconvenience of the lack of vendors and craftsmen. In fact, it was out of necessity that in the name of [the King of Spain] he mercifully proclaimed the forgiveness of all those who laid down their arms. β
In 1762, the Spaniards carried out the fourth massacre of overseas Chinese, killing nearly 20,000 overseas Chinese. The Spanish colonists issued an order to "kill all Chinese they could find", declaring that all overseas Chinese were traitors to Spain, and they were hanged wherever they were found. As a result, the Spanish colonists searched everywhere, forming a "horrific climax of slaughter".
After the first massacre, the then governor of FJ even condemned all the Chinese who were killed as rebels who were ashamed of their ancestral graves and did not deserve His Majesty's attention.
The Spaniards massacred the Chinese in Luzon, and the Dutch colonists did the same in Java (henceforth as they were called).
The first mass murder took place in July 1740, during the so-called "Kang-Qian" period of the Manchu Qing dynasty. Dutch authorities in Java ordered that all suspected Chinese, with or without identity cards, be detained.
A few days later, rumors raged in Batavia that many Chinese had been brutally killed and their bodies thrown into the sea during the escort. The Chinese were indignant and panicked, and many fled from the city into the mountains and forests. The Dutch, fearing that the Chinese would rise up in rebellion, decided to purge and hunt down all the Chinese inside and outside the city.
The Chinese had to resist with sticks and hoes. On October 9, under the pretext of searching for illegal weapons, the colonists went door-to-door to massacre Chinese, and more than 20 places in the Chinese area caught fire, and most of the buildings were reduced to ashes. The colonial authorities also instigated some ignorant natives to attack the Chinese, promising a reward of silver for each Chinese beheaded.
As a result, almost no one of the Chinese in Batavia, except for a few who were dependent on the authorities, was spared, and more than 10,000 were killed, burned, hanged, or drowned. A river called Red Creek that flows through Batavia was finally stained red by the blood of the Chinese, known as the "Red Creek Massacre".
Since 1962, the Tianzhu National Assembly passed a resolution declaring China an "enemy country". Relations between China and Tianzhu tended to deteriorate, and in October 1962, a dispute over the border between China's Tianzhu countries brought relations between the two countries to a low point. The Tianzhu government began to create a series of vicious anti-Chinese incidents and frantically persecuted overseas Chinese.
The Tianzhu authorities fabricated all kinds of charges, slandered overseas Chinese for espionage activities, and used high-pressure means to force overseas Chinese to oppose their motherland. They even wantonly arrested overseas Chinese and imprisoned them in concentration camps in the desert of the western region, and the dozens of refugee overseas Chinese women in prison were even more ravaged by the bestial nature of Tianzhu officials and police, and their personal safety and personality were not guaranteed in the slightest. It also specially passed the "Bill on Strengthening the Surveillance of Aliens" against the Chinese, squeezing the living space of overseas Chinese, and forcing a large number of Chinese to return to their motherland or emigrate to other countries.
In 1967, there was an anti-Chinese killing and plundering incident in Shan from June 27 to June 28. It was a catastrophe for the overseas Chinese in Shan. How many people are bankrupt, how many people are displaced. After the incident, rioters from all over the country were ready to take the opportunity to loot again. China and Shan countries have diplomatic relations, so they are at a low ebb. At that time, the overseas Chinese group, teachers and students gathered and put forward such a slogan: "The head can be broken, the blood can be shed, and the Taizu thought must not be lost".
The "Ethnic Clash Incident" that took place on 13 May 1969. The riot was in fact a planned coup d'Γ©tat to overthrow the then Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman.
"Although it is unclear to what extent the Johorean march on the night of May 13 was organised by some of UMNO's key leaders, we are certain that the march was issued a permit by the police," the declassified documents revealed. There is evidence that hordes of Johoreans arrived in Kuala Lumpur from further afield that day, some of them armed with weapons. During the day, tensions become escalating, and at night violent clashes between Johoreans and Chinese erupt. By dawn the next day, there were many dead in the city center and on the outskirts of the northeast. Many houses and vehicles were also burned. β
Now, when you ask Johoreans about the 513 incident, they will say, "The Chinese cut the Johoreans; Opposition parties rioted. But when you ask the Chinese, "The Johor people cut the Chinese, they exclude the Chinese." β
The Bangkok World Circle of May 26, 1969 also said: "The xenophobia, in which 90% of the casualties were Chinese, proves that the Johorean mob is too fierce and clearly targeted and instructed." β
The Khmer Rouge ruled Chenla for just over three years, but the Chinese population fell by two-thirds and died by two-thirds. The Khmer Rouge massacre the Chinese, not only the so-called rich Chinese, but even the overseas Chinese Communist Party. What is the Overseas Chinese Communist Party? It is the Communist Party among overseas Chinese.
During the Khmer Rouge period in 1975, Chinese businessmen were classified as "bourgeois" and promoted as "bourgeois demons who have ever sucked the blood of the Chenla", and many Chinese were sentenced to death or torture during the "Red Terror". The specific numbers are still being deciphered.
After the reunification of Annan in 1975, Chinese exclusion began, which was a concern for China. In the beginning, Annan expelled the wealthier Chinese in the newly unified south, and later even the overseas Chinese in the north were also expelled as well, and Sino-Vietnamese relations began to deteriorate. In addition, there are territorial disputes between China and Vietnam in the South China Sea, involving the South China Sea Islands, which is also the cause of Sino-Vietnamese hostility.
In the wave of Chinese exclusion, Chinese government officials were dismissed, independent businessmen were forced to close their businesses, and Chinese schools were closed. In so-called strategic locations, the Chinese undergo a "loyalty test" up to expulsion. In the south, about 30,000 Chinese shops were forced to close. At the behest of the government, wealthy Chinese were forced to pay millions of dollars in exit taxes and were driven into dilapidated fishing boats and sailed into the Fury Sea.
Siam Chinese businessmen are an important pillar of Siam's economy, and many large local enterprises are set up by Chinese businessmen. These Chinese merchants had already come to Siam to make a living during the Qing Dynasty and gradually dissolved into the local area. However, due to what happened after the Second World War,
Chinese businessmen were good at dancing with long sleeves, and gradually grasped the economic lifeline of Siam, so that anti-Chinese sentiment began to appear in the local area. In order to protect themselves, the Chinese have voluntarily abandoned their original Chinese pinyin surnames and used Thai characters with the same meaning as their new surnames, or even adopted the original local surnames. This movement came to be known as the "Name Change Movement".
In the more than 30 years from the accession to the throne of King Rama VI of Siam in 1910 to the fall of the military regime of Phibun Somkhon in 1944, the Siamese ruling class set off the first wave of Chinese exclusion in the history of Sino-Siamese relations.
It can be said that King Rama VI was the first to kick off the anti-Chinese movement, and the creation of a constitutional monarchy and the Kuomintang government put the anti-Chinese scandal on the stage. The government of Phibun Songkham performed this ugly drama to the fullest. Throughout this period, almost all of the anti-Chinese policies were based on "restricting the political rights of Chinese people, suppressing the Chinese economy, and preventing the spread of Chinese culture", but there were slight similarities and differences in specific measures.
Thinking of this, Wushan couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Chinese brothers and sisters, I'm here!" He whispered, staring at the ground beneath his feet.
