At this time, Mrs. Cheng beckoned everyone to lunch.

In addition to the head of the Cheng family as a companion at this table in Wushan, Li Luanxiong, the head of the Li family, and the highly respected Zhang family advocated loyalty.

Zi Shan has also participated in many big occasions, and Wushan can't help but secretly speak. A goose's paw is to let the goose run over the iron pot, and then the goose's paw is thicker, and the goose's leg is immediately cut off.

The butler explained the origin of each dish on the side, and it seemed that he was also familiar with the process of making these dishes.

"And what about the rest of the geese?" Jiang Ning asked casually.

The housekeeper Cheng Fugui replied casually: "It's very simple, cook it for the next person to eat, it's still a very good thing." ”

The four of them were in the barracks and were used to eating quickly. As a result, the housekeeper has not finished the introduction, and everyone has already left the table. Only Jiang Ning felt embarrassed and sat next to him, this kid seemed to be the son-in-law of the Cheng family. Cheng Xijiang also thought that it was very face-saving for himself, and said warmly: "Let's go and accompany your brothers first, let's talk something about these old men." ”

Since the biggest item has been obtained by Long Teng. In the afternoon meeting, four people accompanied to witness the internal rules and regulations of Lanfang. I don't know what's going on in the road, Wushan feels that the egg hurts, and it feels like a game of pork.

Listening to it, I always feel that something is wrong, how can this newly established Lanfang government be similar to the feudal era?

All four of them were young people who were born and grew up in New China under the red flag, and they all stared at Wushan. They just felt that this Lanfang government was very wrong, but they couldn't say what was wrong.

"Seniors, can the kid interject?" Wu Shan pondered for a long time, but still stood up.

These family heads just think that the people of Longteng just need to fight a good battle. As for the establishment of the government, they really don't think that this group of big-headed soldiers can intervene.

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief? You can say naturally. Cheng Xijiang seems to have been pushed out as the leader: "If you have any opinions, let Lao Yu and your colleagues listen to them." ”

Wu Shan didn't care: "That kid just wants to ask a few questions." ”

"Please, please!" Cheng Xijiang stretched out his right hand: "As the so-called stone of the mountain can attack jade." ”

"May I ask my seniors, what is our national system?" Wu Shan saw that everyone was stunned, and added: "It's the name of the country." For example, our country is the People's Republic of China, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and Sam flaunts the United States of Sam. So, what is the name of our Lanfang country? ”

"Since the seniors have already called her the Lanfang Republic," Cheng Xijiang raised his fist with his right hand: "Then we Nanyang Chinese will continue to call her the Lanfang Republic." ”

The old man spoke very intently, and the heads of the house next to him applauded.

"Don't be impatient," Wu Shan pressed his hand downward: "Whether a country is a republic or not does not depend on whether its name is called a republic, but whether its political system is a republic. There are countries that, although not called republics, are in fact republics. For example, although Britain retains its monarchy and calls it a kingdom, it is in fact a republican hypothetical republic. ”

He paused: "There are countries that, although they are called republics, are not actually republics, but are de facto autocracies or de facto absolute monarchies. For example, in ancient Rome, it was called a republic, was that a republic? ”

Wang Yongxing slapped his thigh and whispered to Jiang Ning and Xue Peng: "That's right, why do we think that this Lanfang Republic is a bit suspicious of selling dogs with sheep's heads?" You see, this place makes me feel like I'm back in ancient China. The head of the family, the family ding, the subordinate. All of this always makes me not taste. When Wushan said this, I completely understood! ”

Unexpectedly, Wushan had already stopped talking. Wang Yongxing's loud voice, even if he suppressed his voice, the audience still heard it. The overseas Chinese were red one by one, and Jiang Ning glared at him fiercely. Wang Yongxing didn't care and shrugged his shoulders.

"As the saying goes: Loyalty is better than deeds." Wushan took a sip of tea and cleared his throat, but found that there were too many tea leaves, and he was a little bitter. "The commander-in-chief, like me, is a soldier, and his words are not rude. A hundred years ago, for what was the Lanfang Republic established by our predecessors to be strangled? ”

"Ahem," the eldest Zhang family head naturally thinks that he has the absolute right to speak: "As we all know, it is mainly because of the Western powers, all of whom are fueling the troubles. Nominally, only the Netherlands takes the lead, and other countries do not do any business with Lanfang. ”

"Yes," Wu Shan took over: "However, before that, the Lanfang Republic has been maintained. Before and after, I fought with the Dutch for more than 100 years, and it wasn't a day or two. In the beginning, those countries were just waiting and watching. ”

"This," Zhang Chengzhong was a little speechless: "This should be that they are all white." ”

"Then why didn't you support you at the beginning?" Wu Shan had to lift the lid: "Everyone knows that the Netherlands was once the most powerful country in the world, known as the coachman of the sea. It was at their peak, and by the end of the war with Lanfang, the Netherlands had already fallen. Other countries are watching from the sidelines. As far as I know, there is no country that helps the Netherlands on the surface. It can be said that the two do not help each other. For a long time, the Netherlands did not dare to declare war! ”

"That's because the Great Qing Kingdom didn't help us!" Liu Wan said angrily.

"Yes, when did the Qing Dynasty extend a helping hand to overseas Chinese?" Wushan seemed to be talking to himself: "At the beginning, Lanfang founded the country and recognized the Qing Dynasty as the suzerain. The Qing Dynasty did not send troops, and in the later period, it had long been beaten by the Eight-Nation Alliance. It's very simple, whether it is the Qing Dynasty or Lan Fang, the reason why they failed was because they were backward. In this world, if you fall behind, you will be beaten. The Netherlands, which later declined, also because they stood still. Let alone. What about the Republic of Lanfang, which has been in the transition stage from feudal society to capitalist society? I looked at history, and Lan Fang was always at that stage. ”

"That's right!" Jiang Ning suddenly realized: "Listening to what Wushan said, I think there is no difference between the current Lanfang and the former Lanfang. He couldn't tell how to explain it later, he just kept shaking his head.

In fact, the Republic of Lanfang was not the only country established by the Chinese in Southeast Asia at that time. According to incomplete statistics, in addition to Lanfang, there are more than ten other Chinese countries. The history of Lan Fong is of interest because it was one of the first modern republics in the world.

In the selection of national leaders, Lan Fang combined the ancient Chinese Zen concession system and created a form of combining Zen concession and democratic election. Before the previous leader dies or steps down, he recommends the next leader, but whether he can become the chief minister requires the approval of the majority of citizens.

The first head of state, Luo Fangbo, served for 18 years and died of illness in 1795. Before his death, he recommended Jiang Wubo, who also had a literary and martial strategy, to be the next president, and after being elected, Jiang Wubo really became the successor leader, and brilliantly inherited Luo Fangbo's unfinished business. Subsequently, the Republic of Lanfang used the same method to produce a number of leaders.

As soon as the founding of the country, Luo Fangbo sent people back to China, met with Emperor Qianlong, and asked to be called a vassal state, wanting to include the land of West Borneo into the territory of the Qing Dynasty, or become a vassal state. But Emperor Qianlong did not want to pay attention to these "outcasts of the Celestial Empire" at all, nor did he recognize this country established overseas by the Nanyang Chinese. For this reason, Luo Fangbo died depressed, and before his death, he also explained to the people that no matter who is the leader of the country in the future, the heart of submitting to the Qing Dynasty must not change.

Lan Fang's move has had a certain effect. Although Luo Fangbo's wish to claim vassal status to the Qing Dynasty was not realized, the Qing government eventually agreed to trade with the Republic of Lanfang. Lan Fang also took advantage of this to create a false impression and claim that Lan Fang was already a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. This did frighten the Dutch, who were in the middle of the Kangqian era at the time, and the Dutch were probably worried that the invasion of Lanfang would cause opposition from the Qing Dynasty, so they had to stop harassing Lanfang.

However, the Qing government soon went into decline. The two Opium Wars of 1840 and 1856 exposed the corruption and incompetence of the Qing Empire. Due to the repeated defeats of the Qing Dynasty to the Western powers, the Dutch realized that the Qing Dynasty had weakened and could no longer take care of matters outside its borders. So the Dutch took advantage of the Sino-French War in 1884 to invade the Republic of Lanfang.

Under the leadership of the General Chief, the people of the Republic of Lanfang resisted with all their might on the one hand, and on the other hand, they quickly sent people to ask the Qing Dynasty to send troops to support. But by this time, the Qing Dynasty's own rule was shaky, and it had no intention of rescuing the country established by overseas "outcasts".

Without the support of the Qing Dynasty, and the weapons and equipment were far from the invading army, the Republic of Lanfang was finally destroyed by the Dutch colonists. However, fearing a reaction from the Qing government, the Dutch did not dare to publicly declare that they had destroyed Lanfang, but instead set up another puppet state to rule. It was not until after the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1911 that the Dutch officially declared their occupation of the Lanfang region.

As a descendant, every Chinese feels sorry when they read this history. Iron must also be hard. Lanfang, or the small Chinese countries around it, have always been guided by Chinese Confucianism and Taoism. Until today, these overseas Chinese, within the family, still practice feudal patriarchy.

The scene was very depressing for a while. As the descendants of the Lanfang people, everyone is determined to restore the country. It's a pity that they all put the blame on the Qing Dynasty and the Western powers. If Lan Fang had been able to vigorously promote reform and vigorously open up to the outside world in line with the West.

Thinking of this, Wu Shan felt that he was too radical or too idealistic? Not to mention that Lan Fang in those years, even the great man in China's reform and opening up, endured immeasurable resistance.

"Seniors," Wu Shan broke the silence: "After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the pressure we have suffered has been many times higher than that of Lan Fang back then!" It was in the War of Liberation that Sam provided money and the latest international weapons to Lao Jiang to fight the civil war. Having just been founded, Sam went into battle shirtless, gathered the so-called United Nations forces, and fought the Goryeo War. We all know this history, and we will not repeat it one by one in the later wars in Northern Xinjiang and Annam. Think about it, for what, we have all won? ”

At this time, the heads of the family are discussing hotly. After listening to it a little, the answers are so strange that people can't laugh or cry. Some people also say that Taizu is the destiny of the Son of Heaven, and the eight characters are hard.

"Seniors, because of so many years, you have not returned to China." Wushan really couldn't stand it: "It's very simple, we have the support of the people. So, today, do you have the support of the people? I'm sure no! All people are created equal, and I never think that anyone just wants to be a human being. Why do these people sacrifice themselves or give their children to you, to be people? In the South Seas, the situation is so bad that they cannot protect themselves. On such occasions, you are not brave enough to stand up and take it upon yourself to change the situation. I feel that your actions are actually falling into the ground. ”

Some people talk a lot and feel that they have done something good.

"Do good?" Wu Shan sneered: "There are more people in your family, so everyone gathers around your house, so the possibility of being slaughtered by the natives is a little smaller." We, the Chinese, have reached this point of dire straits, and you still have to adhere to this system. With all due respect, we're just shouting Lan Fang at home. The day of the founding of the country is far away. If it goes on like that, the mainland will not be able to help. ”

"Modern enterprises have already reached a point where all the monarchs are dumbfounded." Wushan added another fire: "Yanhuang, it has only been established for a few years. Yan Huang's wealth, I believe everyone has heard of it, more than the sum of those here. ”

Silence, no one jumped out anymore. This is a process, and Lan Fang's people must go.

After a while, Cheng Xijiang cautiously asked, "Virtuous nephew, then we are now?" ”

"Master Cheng, there are some things that the ancestor still needs to remember: don't be a hegemon and slow down to be the king!" Wushan felt more tired than fighting.
