Chapter 19 It turns out that there are not only Westerners in Nanyang

It is said that on this day, after Sheng Haizhou got off the boat from Jinwei, he immediately rode to the Japanese Pavilion in Sijiu City to meet Song Haiping. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

After the meeting, Sheng Haizhou said: "Lord Song, this time I went to Nanyang to buy rice and sell tea and porcelain, and I met a Chinese force called Heshun Company, which was fighting with the Dutch to buy arms. I sold 3,000 advanced guns first, and this Heshun company still wants to buy cannons and ironclad warships, I don't know what regulations my lord has? ā€

Song Haiping: "Oh, there are such things, what is the origin of this Heshun Company, can you inquire clearly?" ā€

Sheng Haizhou: "My lord, I have inquired clearly. This Heshun Company and Nanyang Tiandi Association have a history of mining and reclamation in Nanyang for hundreds of years, and Chinese companies large and small in Nanyang have hired armed guards to fight against the indigenous foreign pirates, among which Lanfang Company has been called the Republic. This Heshun Company was established much earlier than Lanfang Company, but it was not called a country. But it is also a great force in Nanyang that governs hundreds of thousands of Chinese, and it is not under the Heaven and Earth Society.

A few years ago, because of part of the spice and gold mining business controlled by Heshun Company, the Dutch fought with it for gold and monopoly of spice business, but Heshun Company lost, but it did not hurt its bones. Now that the Dutch reinforcements have arrived, the two families are fighting again.

The Heshun Company was afraid that the Dutch ships and artillery would not be able to defeat the enemy, so they asked us for arms. ā€

Song Haiping has not read the history of Chinese colonization of Nanyang, but he also knows that the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the end of the Qing Dynasty were the three times when Chinese went to Nanyang on a large scale. However, before these three times, in the pre-Qin period, maritime trade had already been carried out in Guangyue and other places - Guangyue had unearthed building materials like Roman columns in the pre-Qin period.

Zheng He's detachment to the West even completed a global voyage, drawing a map of the world without the British Isles. The Ming Dynasty's non-governmental maritime trade was still very prosperous.

It's just that when I came to Daqing, I didn't say anything, it was all tears. The Qing Dynasty did not win the country properly, so it paid special attention to preventing the Han people from progressing and reasoning - using words to kill them until the eve of the Opium War. I must know that in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Westerners had already driven pirate ships to the doorstep, and in the early years of Kangxi, the Russian colonists also killed the ancestral land of the Qing Dynasty.

Song Haiping said: "Sell, why not sell!" How do you sell your gun? ā€

Sheng Haizhou: "Twice the tribute of the Qing Dynasty." I received all the gold and spice discounts. ā€

Song Haiping: "Then sell them artillery at this rate, and sell ironclad ships at a rate of four times." By the way, ask again, whether the Heaven and Earth Society, the Lanfang Republic, and other Chinese forces want weapons, as long as they are bought, they are customers. ā€

Sheng Haizhou: "What if the foreigners in the South Seas want to buy ironclad ships to fight against the Qing Dynasty?" ā€

Song Haiping: "There is a Dutch proverb that business is business. If a foreigner wants to buy it, he will sell it to him at ten times the price of tribute, and the ironclad ship he bought at ten times the price is still dead in the Qing Dynasty, which means that he should die in the Qing Dynasty, you understand. ā€

Sheng Haizhou: "Hey. ā€

Song Haiping: "Besides, the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the death of China are two different things, maybe the Qing Dynasty will fall and China will prosper?" ā€

Sheng Haizhou blinked: "Do you want your subordinates to prepare to learn fox barking, fish belly to hide books, prepare one-eyed stone man to embrace, and prepare yellow robes to add body?" Or prepare the White Snake Sword? ā€

Song Haiping laughed: "Zhouzi, you finally have some sense of humor." ā€

Sheng Haizhou: "This is the right advice from adults. ā€

Song Haiping: "It's just a matter of the feudal dynasty going back and forth, you can go to Shenwu City to see it." ā€

Sheng Haizhou: "That Shenwu City was built by the heavens, if it wasn't for the two adults who drove me, I wouldn't want to come out." ā€

Song Haiping: "You say, is that kind of city the kingdom of heaven on earth, the same society?" ā€

Sheng Haizhou: "If there is a heavenly kingdom on earth, Shenwu City must be the closest." ā€

Song Haiping: "You say, in the future, in China and Japan, everyone will live in such a city. ā€

Sheng Haizhou: "My lord, to tell you the truth, it's not good. Everyone lives such a good life, it's good, I'm afraid that everyone likes it, but I'm afraid that a too comfortable life will make people lose their sense of guard, vigilance, I think from Nanyang, this foreigner doesn't care if you want to or not, he wants to rob if he wants to rob, he wants to trade, courtesy, righteousness and shame, they don't have anything. In the past, the shogunate only wanted to live behind closed doors, but the foreigners insisted on using naval guns to open the door to the government's trade. ā€

Song Haiping sighed: "Yes, foreigners, you have to clean up these foreigners and robbers one by one in order to live a good life." ā€

Song Haiping asked again: "Are there many Chinese in Nanyang?" ā€

Sheng Haizhou: "Although I don't know the details, there are millions of Chinese on the Nanyang Islands. It can be said that on the island without Chinese, the indigenous people live like primitive people, more primitive than slash-and-burn farming. I see that they eat under the tree and sleep on the tree. Wherever there are Chinese villages, the nearby natives have also learned to plant land, trees, and textile breeding. ā€

Song Haiping: "Since there is also a market for arms in Nanyang, there is no need to bring money to buy rice in the future, and exchange arms for coa." ā€

Sheng Haizhou: "My lord, silver is cheaper in Nanyang, so it is bartered for rice, and it is better to sell Chinese porcelain and tea now." ā€

Song Haiping: "In a word, increase trade efforts and arm the Lanfang Republic and the Nanyang Tiandi Society." No matter how you say it, it's the same root and the same species, and you can't let foreigners bully it. ā€

Sheng Haizhou: "Hey. ā€

By the time Song Haiping studied history, there was only the loose organization of the Nanyang Tiandi Society. The Heshun Company, which is as famous as the Heaven and Earth Society, has never heard of it, and the Lanfang Republic has also made the Dutch extinct a thing of the past, and then a group of public officials jumped out and sang: The Chinese don't know how to colonize at all, and the colonization of foreign fathers is a cow. Ah, foreign dad, you hit me, ah, foreign dad, the harder you hit me, the deeper you love me!

But in fact, Nanyang without Chinese is a combination of primeval forest + savage aborigines. Later, the foreigners colonized Nanyang completely to earn the foundation laid by the Chinese.

China was beaten by foreigners for more than 100 years after the Opium War, and many people at the time considered China to be almost synonymous with backwardness. Using China's pound and two is proof of backwardness, and using British pounds and inches is advanced. I think that the symphony of foreigners is more elegant than Hebei Bangzi, the violin is more advanced than the erhu, the black people on the streets of the United States beat the iron bucket and rap is art, and the Beijing rhyme drum that makes no difference is not comparable at all, the abstract art that cannot be understood is elegant art, and the domestic ink painting is backward, fortunately, Picasso, the originator of abstract art, can still tell the truth......

According to Song Haiping, these people did not complain when they all hung up telephone poles, but the reason for this was only the victory or defeat of several wars.
