"Look at these soldiers, I tell you,...... Don't be afraid of them, and don't think that they are compared with any army you have seen, they are not the army of the court, nor are they the tools in the hands of my Liang Pengfei, they are your brothers, they are the children of our Chinese compatriots, their vocation is destined to take up the weapons in their hands, with their blood and lives to defend our homeland, they are the children of the Chinese compatriots in the whole world......"

"Tell these compatriots, why are you here?!" Liang Pengfei's voice was a little hoarse, but it did not affect his fiery excitement.

"Defend the country! Defend China! Raise me Huaxia! More than 2,000 soldiers replied in unison, and their voices were like dragons roaring like tigers, crossing the sky, echoing in this land where the Chinese stopped...... "Defend the homeland and defend the country!" Defend China! Raise me Huaxia! They raised their weapons, raised their heads in pride, and shouted in unison the slogan, a goal they would defend with their blood and their lives.

The people also shouted loudly, "Defend the homeland and defend the country!" Defend China! Raise me Huaxia! ”

Liang Pengfei closed his eyes, he was listening to the countless eager, angry, high, old, young, immature voices, that was the call of their unyielding souls, the same is mine.

"We speak the same language, we have the same blood, we should watch and help each other, this is the reason why the Chinese nation has survived for thousands of years." Liang Pengfei breathed the air deeply, under the same blue sky, staggered time and space, his arrival is to change all this, and he has to pay for it, what regrets? What can I regret?

"On that day, it was August 15, 1793, the year of the Chinese year 2014, in Borneo, I heard the stirring speech of the adult, and the atmosphere and surging mood at that time made us not remember what he said very clearly, but every time I dreamed back at midnight, I still heard the familiar voice, and saw the face full of vitality, always so confident and flamboyant, and the arm that only waved vigorously and incessantly. If it weren't for his calling and crying, perhaps, we would have been as worthless as ever. Never will we age so happily, comfortably and proudly, as we do now......"

This impromptu speech by Liang Pengfei was recorded by some people, but because he was improvised, and those people were in a hurry to prepare for it, in short, there are several different versions of his speech record, although the content is slightly different, but this does not affect the significance of his speech.

After this speech, which Westerners called the "Chinese Borneo Declaration", the rise of the East and the decline of Western colonization formed a stark contrast. In the eyes of later historians, they called it the awakening of the sleeping lion of the East according to the name of the French emperor Napoleon.

"Although I didn't experience that day, which made me feel extremely regretful, but it was on this day that the world that we Westerners originally intended to depict underwent major changes, although we didn't care about it at first, but in the end, we understood the reason why this nation can survive for 5,000 years and still maintain its strong vitality......" Many years later, the famous sinologist, Liang Pengfei's personal adviser and secretary general, Xiao Sidangdong, once left such a sentence in his memoir. However, he did not write about the reason, or the reason was already in everyone's minds, and it was not some secret or mystery.

The roars of the people resounded through the sky, and the soldiers also raised their swords in their hands, and held them high to the sky, and with their loudest voices, they responded to the statue-like leader who stood on the wooden box, raised his arms, held his head high, and held his waist upright, just like a statue-like leader who had stood through the storm and never fell by the blow of thunder and lightning.

"That's my man." Standing on the side of the boat with her fists clenched tightly, Shi Xianggu, who had a pair of wonderful eyes full of tears of excitement, sighed happily.

Pan Bingjie's eyes were full of confusion and intoxication, yes, such a man, I don't know how many Han family sons and daughters to envy, if a husband is like this, what else can I ask for?

"This is the king of the white horse in my heart, God, thank you for guiding me to this mysterious east, this is the lover I deserve to be entrusted with all my life." With her hands clasped in front of her chest, Maria prayed with great devotion to the supreme deity in her heart.

"Salute to the Chinese compatriots in Nanyang!" Liu Yixuan pulled out the snowy command knife, pulled a beautiful knife flower, and then saluted with the knife, and the flag bearer behind him held the red military flag in his hand as if it was watered with blood, and the flag swaying in the wind sounded fiercely.

The fifty soldiers in the rear set their guns and faced forward, raising their arms and giving a military salute on the scale of a textbook.

"The Heavenly Army is mighty!" At this time, a cheer came from the depths of the crowd, and suddenly, the crowd erupted in enthusiastic roars and cheers.

Looking at the sincere and eager faces, the excited and expectant eyes, Liang Pengfei felt that his heart was full, at this time, he couldn't hear what these people were shouting, he only knew that he would definitely bring them hope.

"Rite over!" Liu Yixuan, who tried his best to maintain a serious and resolute expression with a red and black face, was also very excited, a simple salute, but in exchange for such a warm, even fanatical cheer and call from these people, this is something that all the soldiers, including himself, were afraid of unimaginable before.

"Let's go!" With the sound of his shouting, the honor guard that was originally standing like a pine finally began to move at this time, and the sound of neat steps was like the beat of the drum beating on people's hearts, and the people who were originally shouting excitedly quickly closed their mouths tightly, their eyes widened, and they watched these soldiers who were so mighty and majestic no matter how they looked, marching towards the temporary military camp that was not far away for Liang Pengfei's subordinates.

At this time, with an order from Liu Yixuan, a high-spirited, people-friendly military song sounded through the air"...... Second, I will not take a single stitch from the masses, the masses will support and like me, and third, all seizures will be returned to the public, and efforts will be made to lighten the burden on the people......"

The soldiers marched neatly, followed behind the guard of honor, and strode towards the camp in front, the young and eager faces, the singing voice of the senior brother, the simple and plain lyrics, the long-dormant enthusiasm, perhaps for the longer future, suddenly burst out from the depths of Liang Pengfei's heart at this moment, like the underground lava rushing to the sky, happy and hot.

Liang Pengfei pursed his lips tightly, straightened his spine, which he never wanted to bend, straightened his military hat, raised his right hand, and returned the salute with what he thought was the most standard military salute, paying his respects to these companions, these robes. The revival of China will be completed by them and me!

Behind him, Lu Yuan, Zhang Xingba, and Sun Shijie ...... Everyone pays tribute to these brave soldiers and these fathers and elders who are full of expectations!

Jiang Wubo also raised his hand and put it on his forehead, although his movements seemed so clumsy and irregular, no one would laugh at him, because almost everyone was in the same mood at this moment.

"With such a mighty and majestic division, where else in the world can my Chinese compatriots go?" Luo Fangbo's hand rubbed his somewhat dizzy old eyes, and tried to open them, for fear of missing any of the pictures, as if he wanted to portray all this deeply in his heart.

"This, how is this possible? These damn pigs, they're so arrogant! Are they dying? In the Dutch East India Company building in Batakan, a port in southern Borneo, Colonel Michels' angry roar echoed through his office.

"Colonel, please calm down, such excitement is not good for your body, you know, we didn't want these Chinese to agree to this series of conditions to us, now, their response should make us all happy." Next to him was the Borneo commissioner of the Dutch East India Company, Overmars, who was in a very happy mood, in contrast to the angry colonel.

"Well, I know, Mr. Commissioner, that the reason I'm angry is that the arrogant tone of these damn guys makes me sick, don't they understand that we Dutch people can pinch them to death with just a finger of our fingers." Mr. Colonel, dressed in a gorgeous and crisp military uniform, snorted, threw the piece of paper that he had just received from the commissioner's hand back on the table, sat aside, took a sip of a cup of black tea, and the damn weather was too hot, which made Colonel Michels, who had always paid attention to the appearance of soldiers meticulously dressed, uncomfortable.

"I have to say that these Lanfang Chinese are really bold enough to dare to offer us such conditions, and they also issued a deadline, tsk...... Compensate the victims' families with 1 million taels of silver, compensate the Lanfang Company with 5 million taels of silver, and ask us to hand over all our weapons, evacuate Borneo, and leave the island of Java, and also require our Dutch East India Company to make a written apology to all the Lanfang Chinese, otherwise, all the consequences will be borne by the Dutch East India Company...... My God, lo and behold, they are not small. ”

With a contemptuous face, Agent Overmars flicked the piece of paper with his fingers and threw it into the wastebasket next to his desk. "So, they have to pay for it, and it's a huge price." Overmars's gray-blue eyes revealed a blood-devouring cruelty.
