On the first day of September, it was an extremely sunny morning, Batavia was like spring all year round, everything was vibrant, there was no winter that made people feel solemn, and the Chinese in Batavia were as festive as the New Year.

Some of these Chinese came from China, but also from the Philippines, Malaysia, Australia, the United States, and Canada, especially overseas Chinese, and overseas Chinese leaders from all over the world gathered together.

People gathered from all over the world to celebrate the birth of the first overseas Chinese nation, the "Nanyang Republic"!

Historically, there have been several Chinese regimes in Nanyang, large or small, but they were eventually destroyed by Western colonizers, and today it is the Chinese who turned over and became the lords of Nanyang.

"Congratulatory message from Xia Jun, General of the Republic of China Army, to ......"

"Congratulatory Message from President of the Republic of China Li Yuanhong to ......"

"Congratulatory Message from Duan Qirui, Premier of the Republic of China, to ......"

A pair of framed congratulatory messages were invited out, and these congratulatory messages had been sent to Batavia earlier, but at this time Batavia had been renamed 'Red Creek City', which was intended to commemorate the compatriots who died in the Red Creek tragedy, and also symbolized the final victory of the Chinese.

The establishment of the Nanyang Republic is only the establishment of a country outside of China by the political axe of East China, so the Western countries have no right to interfere in the dark box or not.

This election is just to fool those natives, the election result is naturally a big victory for the Chinese, occupying most of the power of the Nanyang Republic, the aborigines only occupy about one-tenth of the positions, and they are all small departments that have little rights, at that time, Hongxi City also organized foreign media interviews, and the natives interviewed at that time said that they were very satisfied with the election results.

The indigenous people who were chosen also said that they were very supportive of the election results...... The face project in East China has been carried out to the extreme, and even the domestic reports are that "the people of Nanyang are very satisfied with this election" and "the people of Nanyang are the masters of the country, and they cry with joy...... Anyway, it looks peaceful on the surface, and even the natives of Java feel like that.

In this way, the Nanyang Republic was officially established.

On the day of its establishment, Xu Yuan was inaugurated as the first president of the Nanyang Republic, and Li Yuanhong, the president of the Republic of China, and Duan Qirui, the prime minister, also came to Hongxi City in person to preside over the inauguration ceremony.

Because China will be the suzerainty of the Nanyang Republic, although the Nanyang Republic is a reading country, but as the suzerain, China still has some power to interfere in the Nanyang Republic on the surface.

At the inauguration ceremony, Xu Yuan officially received the letter of appointment handed to him by Li Yuanhong, which read: Adhering to the wishes of overseas Chinese, overseas Chinese and the people of Nanyang, Xu Yuan was appointed as the first president of the Nanyang Republic...... Xu Yuan then delivered his inaugural speech after the guard of honor was blown and beaten and the salute was fired.

Xu Yuan said in his inaugural speech: "No matter how difficult and dangerous there are, we in the Nanyang Republic must vigorously develop infrastructure, and only when the infrastructure is developed, can the people of the Nanyang Republic become rich, just as General Jianwei said, if you want to get rich, you want to build roads." Our first step is to build roads, and we want to build at least 50,000 kilometers of railways within 10 years......"

This goal was considered by later historians to be the most bureaucratic aspect of Xu Yuan, because the administrative staff below forcibly requisitioned nearly 5 million indigenous Indonesians in order to complete the planned task, resulting in many indigenous people dying of exhaustion during the construction of the project.

It was not the massacre that led to this tragedy, but the damned bureaucracy.

In addition to the task of building railways, there are also roads, bridges, buildings, etc., and a large number of indigenous people have been forcibly requisitioned to the construction site, and their flesh and blood have built brilliant infrastructure...... When the inaugural speech ended, the scene resounded with very warm applause, but many people still listened to it confusedly, and did not understand what kind of foolish medicine the first president of the Nanyang Republic had taken.

However, the atmosphere at the scene was still very warm, especially the overseas Chinese who came from all over the world, they had never been so happy.

In the past, although the motherland was strong, in many cases, some rights and interests were still not guaranteed.

However, after China declared war on the Netherlands, other countries suddenly became honest and no longer dared to make things difficult for the Chinese.

The so-called diplomacy is no trivial matter, and any small conflict may lead to a military conflict, especially when it comes to the dignity of the national state.

Not only did the officials of other countries dare not make things difficult for the Chinese, but even the eyes of ordinary foreigners have changed a lot when they look at the Chinese, and they also dare not bully the Chinese as before.

The founding of the People's Republic of China is naturally very lively.

However, those Nanyang monkeys have no share, they have been forcibly removed from Hongxi City by the East China Army, although some compensation has been given to symbolic surnames, and some food and other things have also been distributed.

With compensation, they were all relocated, albeit without petitioning, and a large shantytown was formed outside the indigenous capital, which was also a slum.

Those who can enter the city are all Chinese, or some Indonesian natives with special identities.

Although the unfair treatment has caused some natives to feel resentful, but the Chinese have guns in their hands and troops stationed there, so they dare not make trouble.

Chinese settlements like Hongxi City will be popularized in various places one after another, which is one of the first things Xu Yuan will do after he comes to power, and the supporting thing is to register and ascend the throne and so on.

In terms of law, the Nanyang Republic mostly refers to the laws of the Republic of China, which were enacted by the East China Political Axe and later accepted by the central government.

However, the Nanyang Republic can also enact its own laws, which depend on local circumstances.

Most of these so-called laws that can be enacted independently involve ethnic management, and the Nanyang Republic has amended the Constitution.

The scope of citizenship stipulated in the Constitution has been amended to provide that any native resident of the Republic of Nanyang is a citizen of the Republic of Nanyang.

This sentence seems to be normal, but another sentence is added at the end: Because the Chinese have made the greatest contribution to the founding of the country, the Chinese are special citizens of the Nanyang Republic and enjoy various special powers.

i.e. privilege!

The Chinese have privileges in the territory of the Nanyang Republic.

If it is interpreted by one level, then the Chinese are citizens, and the indigenous people are not at the level of real citizens.

And in the Constitution, there are indeed many rights of citizens, but they are only on paper. And there are many obligations, such as: when the state needs it, citizens need to sacrifice their personal interests to protect the supreme national interests, and so on. It doesn't seem to be an overlord clause, but when it is implemented, it becomes a bully clause.

In the following days, the Nanyang Republic began large-scale legislation.

First of all, the development of some resources is restricted, such as sandalwood, which is estimated to be gone if it is cut again, and Indonesia will be China's territory in the future! Naturally, it can't be chopped anymore.

Then it stipulates import and export tariffs and tax rates on enterprises, of which the corporate tax rate is frighteningly high, and the import and export tariffs are also frighteningly high.

This makes many people puzzled, why is it that even grain imports are subject to high tariff restrictions?

As we all know, grain is China's superior export product, and this is a high tariff, isn't it impossible to get along with the motherland?

However, few people know that this is what Xia Jun means.

This provided a reliable condition for starving the natives of the South Seas, and when the South Sea monkeys were all conscripted to build the railway, food production was naturally destroyed, and then a large number of people could starve to death.

As for the import and export tariffs set so high, it is to kill those foreign companies. Chinese enterprises and necessary imports and exports can be subsidized by tariffs, a hidden means of subsidy.

In this way, those foreign companies are finished, the number of gringos in the territory of the Nanyang Republic has decreased, and if the door is closed tightly, it will be much more hidden when the Nanyang monkeys are used in the future.

This kind of policy is indeed detrimental to economic development, but it does not have much impact, it is just a circle.

At the same time, in the process of legislation, it was quickly determined that the various privileges enjoyed by the Chinese in the territory of the Nanyang Republic were determined, for example, the Nanyang Chinese who accidentally killed people after a conflict with the natives could be given a light sentence, or even not a sentence depending on the circumstances. The Nanyang Chinese enjoy a high degree of protection from the military, and so on.

At the same time, the Nanyang Republic established Taoism as the state religion, and at the same time recognized the status of Buddhism, did not support Buddhism and did not suppress Buddhism, Buddhism was restricted by law in terms of accumulating wealth, but the political axe can provide basic food, clothing, shelter and transportation for monks, but monks can not break the precepts before returning to the world, let alone go out to ask for money.

Buddhism itself is a practice institution, and the domineering Buddha formulated a temple system back then, so that monks can obtain social wealth without having to work, so they can concentrate on cultivation.

Now the political axe has solved their food, clothing, housing and transportation, but this is only a quota that can maintain the basic life of monks, and it is no problem to repair some temples for them, and the monks can also be fed and dressed like ordinary people, anyway, they will not be hungry and frozen. But since you are a monk, you must strictly abide by the precepts of Buddhism, and at the same time, you must not have any behavior to accumulate wealth.

Many fake monks, flower monks, use temples to make money. Therefore, Xu Yuan felt that it should be forbidden, his understanding of religion was completely derived from Xia Jun's teachings, so he had some in-depth understanding of the essence of these religions, and the biggest drawback of Buddhism was here, so why not restrict them?

Under this system, the monks' food, clothing, housing, and transportation do not have to worry about their food, clothing, housing, and transportation, which is very beneficial to those monks who are truly dedicated to cultivation, but it is very disadvantageous for those fake monks.

As for establishing Taoism as the state religion, it has not been done so in China until now, but it is different in Indonesia, which is an Islamic territory.

Islam is a very extreme religion.

If the Jews controlled the Western countries by Catholicism before modern times, then the Jews have controlled the Western countries economically in modern times.

In later generations, Islam intended to use population to control the world. Islamists are having children like crazy, and Islam has made up a large part of the global population in later generations.

The first thing that the Nanyang Republic had to suppress was Islam, and it would be better if it could provoke a conflict, and then there would be an excuse to send troops to directly and bloodily suppress it.

Bloody repression, while not good for reputation, is not morally passive compared to massacres, and at best bears the image of an ugly ruler.

There is some Catholicism in the religious composition of West Java, mainly due to Dutch rule, while in East Java it is largely Islamic, and this religion is widespread in the Nanyang Republic.

Buddhism also exists in Indonesia, and Buddhism in Nanyang is more special, that is, it has some Chinese colors, but also retains a strong Indian color.

But in general, Buddhism the further south you go, the more money you have.

In contrast to China's Buddhism, which was less wealthy after localization, Buddhism in Indochina and Southeast Asia was very wealthy, and in general, the major temples amassed a large amount of wealth.

The establishment of Taoism as the state religion, the restriction of Buddhism's practice of accumulating money, and the failure to recognize the status of Islam will not cause conflict for the time being, because it has not yet been implemented.

Anyway, legislation should be enacted first, and then we will talk about implementation.

At the same time, the legislation stipulates that Chinese can own guns and ammunition, and indigenous people even have knives under control, and it is a felony to possess controlled knives.

Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui also stayed in Hongxi City, one came to preside over some diplomatic work, and the other came to travel.

Both of them are idle now and have nothing to do, especially Li Yuanhong.

Due to the gradual takeover of the local administration by the administrative staff of the East China Political Axe, although it is still a province under the central government's management on the surface, it has actually become the management of the East China Political Axe, and the local administrative personnel do not report the situation to the central government, but to the East China Political Axe, so the central government is also easy to manage.

Li Yuanhong naturally won't care, he is still a puppet among puppets! What is he anxious about for Duan Qirui!

Duan Qirui wanted to take care of it, but Li Yuanhong didn't let go, he had no reason!

The contradiction between the two began to rise, the arrogant Duan Qirui didn't say a word to Li Yuanhong with a cold face, Li Yuanhong ignored him, and the two often stared back and forth.

Duan Qirui can't do anything if he wants to move Li Yuanhong, Li Yuanhong has guards sent by the East China Political Axe by his side, if he moves the president, he will be pulled down by the East China Political Axe immediately.

Messing around, Duan Qirui didn't have the heart to take care of it, anyway, it won't help now, and there is nothing bad about China starting to grow strong rapidly under the management of East China's political axe.

Especially this Nanyang Republic, at this time China was already strong enough to make the Dutch spit out such a large colony, and Duan Qirui could only admire it.

I just don't understand, with such a large piece of territory, why let them read it!

Although it seems that it is also under the management of China, it is not very clean and neat in name.

In the context of China's rapid development, Duan Qirui couldn't find a suitable position for himself for a while, and he was extremely embarrassed, and stayed in Hongxi City for a few days, seeing that he saw the reason.

Duan Qirui asked Li Yuanhong with a little interest: "Do you know, why did that kid Xia Jun want to make a Nanyang Republic?" ”

"Then you know?" Li Yuanhong saw Duan Qirui suddenly speak, and when he thought about it, he replied coldly.

"Of course I do." Duan Qirui smirked, "But I won't tell you." ”
