(PS: Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for comments, don't ask for money, don't work hard, your support is the greatest encouragement for writers.) )

(What else can a fish head say?) In yesterday's chapter, because of the carelessness of the fish head, there was an undue mistake, and the discerning Chukotka brothers pointed it out, and the fish head made corrections...... But I didn't expect that the Chukoqi brothers gave a reward when they changed hands, the fish head was really full of mixed feelings, and the mistakes should not have been, but the Chukoqi brothers were so tolerant...... Plus a more. )

The Chinese have always had the habit of going to the South Seas.

Especially in Fujian and Zhejiang, when the local Chinese were desperate, many of them went to Nanyang to make a living.

Don't dismiss the snarky phrase "cornered", for the truth it is. The Chinese have the tradition of "parents are here, not far away", and there is also a saying that "it is good to be at home for a thousand days, but it is difficult to go out".

Among the Chinese who went to Nanyang, many of them have achieved a career in Southeast Asia by virtue of their own ingenuity and hard work.

On the one hand, this shows that the Chinese are indeed smart, and on the other hand, it also shows that the indigenous people of Southeast Asia are indeed unbearable.

Huang Bohan and Huang Jinsheng are the best among the Chinese who go to sea to make a living.

When he saw Mi Xia delivering tea, Huang Bohan and Huang Jinsheng glanced at each other, and Huang Bohan nodded imperceptibly.

"Qin, I'm back." Pierre's triumphant voice came.

"Got it?" Qin Zhiyuan cares about Pierre's mission.

"Yes, it's all done, you'd better prepare something good to give to the old man......" Pierre walked into the living room, only to find a guest: "Uh...... I'm sorry, it looks like I didn't come back at the right time. ”

Seeing Pierre coming in, Huang Bohan and Huang Jinsheng got up one after another.

Qin Zhiyuan got up and introduced: "This is my chief of staff, Pierre, Pierre Foch. ”

Pierre's surname came into play again, this time without looking at each other, Huang Bohan and Huang Jinsheng both nodded.

"These two are my compatriots, and we're just making small talk." Qin Zhiyuan's tone was casual.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Monsieur Pierre, and the contemptible Huang Bohan, please take me to say hello to Monsieur Foch." Huang Bohan reported to his home.

"Do you know my father?" Pierre, who wanted to turn upstairs and harass Micha, turned around and sat down on the sofa, casually as if he were in his own living room.

"There was a one-sided relationship." Huang Bohan was a little restrained.

"Oh, he's not doing well right now." Pierre did not shy away from Foch's loss of power.

"If you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing, maybe tomorrow you will not be able to come to Jitai." Huang Bohan pretended to be a magic stick.

Huang Bohan has lived overseas for a long time, and his French language is more slippery than Qin Zhiyuan, at least in the translation of ancient texts, Huang Bohan is more proficient than Qin Zhiyuan.

"Very interesting! What are you talking about? Can I join? Pierre was interested.

"Of course, this Mr. Huang and I are here to ask General Qin for protection." Huang Bohan was astonishing.

"Protection?" Qin Zhiyuan knew that the situation of the Chinese in the Nanyang area was not good, but he did not expect that it had reached the point where it needed to be protected.

The South Seas region is usually referred to as Luzon and Borneo, which are now colonies of the United States and the Netherlands. Comparatively speaking, the situation of the Chinese in Borneo is even worse. Different from the meaning of Chinese in the 21st century in another time and space, the Nanyang Chinese at this time are Chinese, not Chinese. Since the Dutch colonizers occupied Borneo, a large number of people from the Qing state have moved people to enrich the Borneo region, using modest methods, including nominally recruiting immigrants who are in fact abducted, and outright kidnapping.

Since the global "slave trade movement" stopped, the Chinese, as the world's largest labor market, have been abducted to all corners of the world, from the United States to Cuba, from Batavia to Paris.

It is worth noting that many of these people are Chinese nationals, and they are not of any so-called Chinese descent, but standard Chinese.

"Yes, we need protection." Huang Bohan's face was sad, his voice was low, and he was filled with suppressed grief: "The living conditions of the Chinese in Borneo are already extremely bad, if the country does not lend a helping hand, I am afraid that in the long run, there will be unspeakable tragedies." ”

The poor living conditions of the Chinese in Borneo and the brutality and shamelessness of the Dutch are really too numerous to mention. When the Dutch invaded Borneo, the Chinese actually controlled all aspects of Borneo, from plantations to craftsmen, sailors, plasterers, hawkers, etc., as long as it was a slightly skilled job, it was occupied by the Chinese, and the local natives could only work as coolies, hired laborers, farmers, and other unskilled jobs.

After the Dutch colonists learned the truth, in order to maintain their rule, from the 18th century, they began to suppress the prestige of the Chinese from all sides, sow discord between the Chinese and the locals, and consolidate their rule. However, the foundation of the Chinese was solid, and the methods of the Dutch did not have much effect, so in 1740, the Dutch created the "Red Creek Massacre", and the most shameless scene in human history appeared. Tens of thousands of Chinese were slaughtered, and the Dutch finally took full control of Borneo.

"General Qin didn't know that the Dutch imposed heavy taxes on Borneo, and we Chinese did not have to pay taxes on everything we used, we did not have to pay taxes on the houses we lived, we had furniture taxes on the houses we used, we had a poll tax on giving birth to children, and we had to pay taxes on even planting trees and raising horses. Moreover, the tax is much higher than that of other races, and if others pay one guilder, we will ask for five or even ten guilders. Huang Jinsheng added.

"Not only to pay taxes, but the Dutch stipulate that we Chinese people live in a place where we Chinese are not allowed to move at will, or even act at will; We Chinese can't wear suits, and we can't go to the bath to take a bath. Our children can't even go to school, the Dutch and the locals don't allow our children to go to school, and we don't allow our own schools, which is to destroy the foundation of our culture. After the lawsuit, others can stand or sit, we can only squat in shackles, and those Dutch policemen often call us Chinese 'Chinese pigs', and they can only do their best. Huang Bohan's eyes widened with anger.

The Netherlands is a standard parasite, and they no longer have the glory of being "coachmen on the sea", and they rely on the colonies handed down from their ancestors to survive. They don't want to be motivated, they don't want to make progress, they just want to keep those colonies and continue to maintain the current state of affairs.

"The living conditions of the Chinese in Borneo are terrible, and they should ask for help from China, why did they come here? Qin is out of reach, and I'm afraid he can't do anything. "Qin Zhiyuan sympathizes with the Chinese in Borneo, but now Qin Zhiyuan has more important things, and he really can't spare his hands.

"General Qin, it's not that we are willing to seek the near and far, there is really nothing to do, so I ask for General Qin's door." Huang Bohan shook his head painfully, with a sense that the past was unbearable.

"As early as 50 years ago, starting from Huang's father, he asked the Qing State to set up a consulate in Borneo, but he has not been able to do so, until five years ago, the Qing State signed the "Dutch Territory Colonial Consular Treaty" with the Dutch, I thought that the clouds that were finally kept to see the sunrise, how could the domestic revolution rise again, until three years ago, the Javanese consul arrived in Batavia." Huang Bohan remembered the sadness of his father's generation, and couldn't help shedding tears.

"I thought that with the arrival of the Javanese consul, the situation would improve, and the living environment of our Chinese would improve. How do you know that the consul and the Kapitan colluded with each other, turned a blind eye to the Chinese, and only took it as their duty to hire Chinese laborers from China and export them to Borneo for profit, without seeking the welfare of the Chinese people at all, and the living environment of the Chinese people was deteriorating. Last month, a Chinese family in Coconut City was shot dead and reported to the Dutch police, who actually said that it was caused by wild animals. reported to the consulate, and the consulate actually blamed the local chamber of commerce for its ineffective mutual assistance, which is really shameless. Huang Jinsheng added.

It's shameless.
