Chapter 25: The Beginning of a New Era in China

"Ah, hello Mr. Hu, my name is Han Yuqing, I was not a teacher here, I just came back from Europe, and I came here temporarily to help teach children a little European language."

"Ah, you came back from studying in Europe, which foreign language do you know in Europe?" Hu Zhen is very angry, in this era, a woman can go to Europe to study, that is rare, when he was in Europe, he never thought that there would be a Chinese woman to study in Europe.

"I just know a little French, English, German, Dutch, Italian, Russian, Spanish!"

Hu Zhen, who was very impressed by the fact that Chinese women in this era could go to Europe to study, and they also knew several Chinese, and only knew a little English: "Wow, you know the seven Chinese languages of Europe!" ”

In the face of Hu Zhen's praise, Han Yu said lightly: "Just understand a little, every subject is not proficient, except for teaching children, it seems to be useless?" So, I want to teach here. ”

"It's useful, it's definitely useful, how can it not be useful? This school will definitely use you! You see, I've been in Europe for a while, and I know a little bit of English, but I don't know anything about other European languages, and if I meet people from these countries, it's like a chicken meets a duck and talks. ”

"You've also come back from studying in Europe?" Han Yuqing couldn't help but glance at the young man in front of him, Hu Zhen, in this era, people who go to study in Europe are rare, and it is really less chance to meet a Chinese person who studies in Europe in Nanyang than to win the jackpot.

"I'm not going to study in Europe, at most I can only go there to make some money!" Of course, it is difficult for Hu Zhen to say that he has traveled to Europe from another time and space.

"You're a businessman?"

"No, no, I'm not a businessman, I can only make a cameo appearance as a businessman!" In Europe, money is just taking advantage of his own foresight, and has nothing to do with the so-called business genius, Hu Zhen has never regarded himself as a businessman, and he will not consider himself a businessman in the future.

"Cameo?" Listening to Hu Zhen's inexplicable answer, Han Yuqing was very curious, but when he heard the shouts of the wounded outside, he gently lowered his head and walked away again: "Okay, I have to hurry up to treat the wounded!" ”

Hu Zhen looked at her slender back, and was in a thoughtful daze for a while before turning around to treat the wounded.

"Mr. Hu, are you ......" Jiang Yunfeng saw all this in his eyes, he wanted to ask Hu Zhen if he was interested in this young and beautiful woman, so he wanted to say that he would find a matchmaker for Hu Zhen and go to Han Yuqing's parents to talk to the matchmaker.

Who knew that Hu Zhen said to him angrily: "Okay, you don't gossip here, you hurry up and go to the ship to find a doctor and more people to bring medicine to save people here!" ”

"Yes!" Jiang Yunfeng had no choice but to answer and run out.

After rescuing people from the school fire, Hu Zhen donated 5,000 taels of silver to rebuild the school, and the only requirement was to ask the person in charge of the school to agree to Han Yuqing to stay as a teacher.

As a donor, Hu Zhen's small request was of course met by the person in charge of the school.

In order to ensure that the school for the children of Chinese people could continue to open, Hu Zhen hired several capable security guards to guard the school, and also asked Fan Qianhai and Chen Zichao to send heavy gifts to the patrol room of the British Colonial Governor's Palace, asking for more attention to the school.

Han Yuqing was clear about Hu Zhen's actions to help the school for Chinese children, and generously took the initiative to leave an address for Hu Zhen, saying that if there was anything, he could go to this address to find her.

Now that the big beauty put down the shelf and came to find herself, Hu Zhen was not hypocritical, and also left the address of Huihua Bank to Han Yuqing, saying that if there is anything or difficult, you can go there to find him, and if it is inconvenient, you can send a letter.

After arranging the affairs of the school, Chen Zichao came to Hu Zhen and said that all preparations were ready and he could head to Borneo.

Hu Zhen heard this and said happily: "Okay, Borneo, we are here!" ”

The history of the world will begin to change dramatically from Borneo!

A new era belonging to Great China is about to begin! A new era of belonging to the world has begun!

In the Sino-French War from November of the 9th year of Guangxu to February 11th (December 1883 - April 1885), the Qing Dynasty was defeated undefeated, and the French were defeated without victory.

The Dutch colonists saw the weakness of the Manchu court, and knew that the Chinese people in Nanyang did not have the protection of a strong force, so they took the opportunity to take the territory controlled by the Nanyang Chinese, and the Lanfang Republic that Hu Zhen was going to was completely controlled by the Dutch colonial governor's palace at this time.

The four steamer ships led by Hu Zhen, with more than 500 military personnel and more than 400 workers and technicians who were about to land in Borneo, set sail at night in order to avoid a head-on collision with the Dutch colonial army from the beginning, and carefully avoided other ships along the way.

After a day and a night of sailing, we finally entered a remote bay in the southwest of Borneo in the middle of the night.

In the dark, Chen Zichao stood on the bow of the ship and launched a continuous light signal to the shore of the bay, and three fires were immediately lit up on the shore, and more than a dozen sampans sailed towards the ship from the shore like arrows.

After checking the code words, Chen Zichao said to Hu Zhen happily: "This is our people, there are dozens of people, and they have been waiting for us here for several days!" ”

"Okay, according to the original plan, the personnel will start to land, and the supplies on the ship will start to be unloaded!"

With the joint efforts of both the ship and the shore, people and materials are sent to the shore like flowing water.

When Hu Zhen boarded a sampan, he asked, "When will the loading and unloading be completed?" ”

"There is no dock here, we can only rely on small sampans to connect, our supplies are too huge, and we will not be able to load and unload them until tomorrow nightfall at the earliest!"

Hu Zhen was silent when he heard this, and it seemed that he had to take a military offensive and seize one or more seaports in order to more efficiently load and unload the material resources and send them to the land of Borneo.

However, until sufficient military forces are built, the seaport cannot be captured, and if it is blocked by someone else's navy, it will be slowly strangled to death. In addition to the construction of the army, the construction of the navy must also be prepared.

The little sampan sailed all the way in the dark, and Hu Zhen muttered "Army, Navy......"

There was a bang, the little sampan shook slightly, and someone said, "Sir, the sampan has landed!" ”

When the personnel landed and the materials were loaded and unloaded, they were commanded by Ouyang Yu, Su Wenzhen, Chen Zichao and others, and Hu Zhen couldn't help much, so he asked Jiang Yunfeng and Liang Kunri to follow and head inland.

When Chen Zichao heard this, he immediately rushed to dissuade him: "Mr. Hu, if you leave this place for a maximum of twenty or thirty miles, you may encounter murderous bandits who are unfavorable to the Chinese people, so it is best to act together in a brigade!" If you have to go, be sure to bring more people! ”

"Okay, then I'll bring more people!" Hu Zhen said that Liang Kunri and Jiang Yunfeng selected 100 people, equipped with 10 light machine guns, a radio station, and 6 grenades for each individual armed man in addition to rifles and pistols.

A group of 100 men trudged through the paths of the tropical jungle until dawn, a distance of about forty miles.

Suddenly, a burst of intermittent gunfire was heard in front of me.
