Chapter Thirty-Six: The Hidden Plan (Crying Blood for Recommendation Votes)
The vast majority of the Teochew people who moved to Vietnam were originally poor people in the Teochew area.
They have worked hard in Vietnam, hoping that their children and grandchildren can acquire cultural and scientific knowledge, inherit the culture of China and the countryside, and never forget their homeland. Therefore, Teochew people are very enthusiastic about setting up Chinese schools in their places of residence to develop Chinese education.
As early as 1913, the Teochew people raised funds to establish Ngee Ann School, which gradually developed into the current Ngee Ann Secondary School. In addition, he has successively established Chinese schools such as Mingdao Primary School and Nanqiao Middle School.
Because the Ngee Ann Middle School and Huaqiao Middle School attach great importance to the progressive ideological education of students, the teaching quality is high, the school spirit is good, and the school has a high reputation, not only the Chinese children of Di'an, Saigon and the southern provinces who come to study in these two Chinese schools, but also many Chinese children from Thailand, Cambodia and Laos (Laos).
Generations of the Li family have actively participated in the establishment of various schools and donated generously.
After Li Guanyun went to France, Li Weimin automatically became the director of 16 Chinese schools, including Ngee Ann Middle School, Huaqiao Middle School, and Mingdao Primary School.
Teochew people are not limited to Saidi, but also Teochew people living in Chuzhen, Can Tho, Pak Lieu, Kien Giang, Kim Ou, Tra Vinh, Chu Duc and Hoi An in central China.
For example, Xu Weibin, a Teochew overseas Chinese leader and industrialist in Hoi An City, took the lead in donating funds to establish Peiying Primary School and Shuren Middle School in the city; The Chaoren of Chuzhen City founded Chuzhen Middle School, Chung Hwa Public School and New Middle School; The Chaoren people of Can Tho City founded the Xingzhong School, the Chaoren of Boliu City founded Xinhua Middle School, the Chaoren of Dick City founded the Mingde School, and the Chaoren Association of Zhuyang City founded the Pei Thanh School, all of which are relatively well-known secondary and primary schools in South Vietnam.
As far as Li Weimin knows, there are more than 100 Chinese schools founded by Vietnamese Teochew people so far.
In some places where there are fewer hipsters, they were co-founded with other groups of Chinese. For example, the Chao people who live in Hanoi co-founded Hanoi Zhonghua Middle School with the Fujian Gang. Da Nang Chaoren, together with the Canton Gang and Hainan Gang, cooperated to establish Da Nang Shuren Middle School.
Although most of the local Chinese are Teochew people, they co-founded the Chinese district in Lai Leng Town, Can Tho City, Di Chai City, Di Thu City, and Lak Kong Chinese District, Zhou Thanh District, Kien Giang Province, in order to enhance the unity of the local Chinese.
Haiphong is the second largest city in northern Vietnam, and it is natural that there are schools founded by Teochew people.
After going to the US Agency for International Development mission to thank him, Li Weimin led everyone to the Haiphong Overseas Chinese Middle School, where he talked with the principal and more than a dozen school directors for nearly two hours before arriving at the teacher's dormitory where Chen Runwei and other officers and soldiers were temporarily resting.
Chen Runwei had just come back from outside, and as soon as they met, he got up and reported: "Mr. Li, the doctor said that because of the timely rescue, the three brothers are not in danger of life, and they have not injured their bones, as long as the wound is not infected, it should be fine." ”
Everything started because of himself, Li Weimin was very guilty, and while motioning for them to sit down, he asked in a low voice: "What about the brother who sacrificed?" ”
"Buried in the military cemetery outside the city, there is a mess outside, full of refugees who have nowhere to live, from time to time I can hear someone shooting cold, the shops are all closed, and the future can only be simplified."
"Is he married, does he have any children?"
Chen Runwei and Staff Officer Han glanced at each other, and said solemnly: "There are old and young, fortunately, there are two younger brothers, otherwise this family will be over." ”
A living person died like this, Li Weimin's heart was like a knife, and he was silent for a while before he whispered: "The pension cannot be less, and when their family is all withdrawn to the south, I will personally send it to the door." ”
"With Mr. Li helping to take care of his family, he can also look down under the Nine Springs."
Chen Runwei knew that he was in a bad mood, because he hadn't even eaten lunch, so he quickly changed the topic: "Mr. Li, we are ready, the troops will be divided into two routes early tomorrow morning, Staff Officer Han will stay in Haiphong, and I will go to Hanoi." Find ways to mobilize, and be able to evacuate one by one. ”
The dead are already dead, and the living are still alive, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of overseas Chinese in Hanoi, Haiphong and the surrounding areas.
What to do has already been explained on the way, Li Weimin nodded slightly, and told again: "I have just contacted the principals of the two Chinese schools in Hanoi, and they will do their best to assist." The work must be meticulous and patient, after all, the homeland is difficult to leave, and it is not possible for everyone to leave. ”
Businessmen, doctors, teachers, workers...... As long as overseas Chinese are literate and have skills, they are all within the scope of the need to withdraw south. This task is not a one-point or two-point task, but fortunately, there is enough time and sufficient human and financial resources.
Chen Runwei reassured, Staff Officer Han showed an expression of wanting to speak, and Li Weimin patted his arm: "Major, if you have anything to say, there are no outsiders here." ”
He will return to Saigon tomorrow, and if he doesn't say anything, he won't have a chance.
Han Shuo took a deep breath and said bluntly: "Mr. Li, people who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries, and the lessons of the mainland and North Korea are there. ”
He was a member of intelligence, and he was said to be very powerful, and he had caught many Vietminh elements who had infiltrated the Nong area, including the Chinese who worked for the Viet Minh.
Li Weimin vaguely guessed what he wanted to do, and motioned for him to continue.
"Mr. Li, I have been friends with the Vietminh for so many years, and I know them very well. They will not be satisfied with half of the country, either take advantage of the victory to pursue, or recuperate for a period of time before swinging south. This time, with your reminder, we can escape, what about next time, who will remind us next time? ”
Han Shuo touched his nose and continued, "They are well organized, it is easy for us to withdraw, but it is difficult to come back." If you're okay, if you can provide a little bit of funding, I can make some preparations before I leave......"
This matter is too sensitive, and it is not good to know too much, Chen Runwei immediately coughed dryly, opened the door and said, "Mr. Li, Staff Officer Han, I'll go next door to see the brothers, you can talk." ”
"Go ahead."
"Yes!"
Chen Runwei walked out of the room, Han Shuo took the door with him, and continued: "People are not a problem, there are many orphans in Nong District, Nong, Hakka and even Vietnamese, they have a blood feud with the Viet Minh, and they are definitely willing to stay." As long as there is enough time for training and enough time for scheduling, an intelligence network can be weaved. With our own intelligence network, we can prepare early as soon as the Vietminh is in trouble. ”
It's kind of interesting, it's a talent like him that is missing.
Li Weimin didn't agree, but stared at him and asked, "Major, have you already arranged someone on the Viet Minh side?" ”
The commanders said that they would all listen to him in the future, and Han Shuo said frankly: "There are indeed a few, but all of them are around the Nong District, and they do not have a high status within the Viet Minh. ”
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can survive a hundred battles, and the Nong area is surrounded by enemies, so it would be strange if you didn't plant a few spies on the enemy's side.
From the bottom of his heart, Li Weimin didn't think that arranging a few spies to lurk like the military commander did before the PLA captured could make much difference, but this kind of thing is definitely better than not doing it well. After all, as he said, it is easy to withdraw, but it is difficult to send someone back.
He weighed it for a moment and muttered, "Major, you can do what you want, funding is not a problem. But I don't think there will be a big war in the short term, at least not in the short term, so the brothers who stay behind should make long-term lurking preparations. Summed up in twelve words: only lurking, not contacting, waiting for war, and miraculous! ”
The suggestion could be adopted, and he could see so far, Han Shuo was really a little impressed, and said excitedly: "Mr. Li, rest assured, the humble position must be arranged, and you will not be disappointed." ”
The Viet Minh killed people, but no matter whether you are a spy or not, whether you have evidence in your hands or not, what you leave behind are living people, Li Weimin is still a little uneasy, and whispered: "Think carefully, try your best to let the brothers who stay in contact with each other, and never expose one to lead out a group." ”
"I'll take notice."
Li Weimin paused, and then said: "Don't set up any underground radio stations, it's too easy to expose, and even if you do, it can only be used as a last resort for emergency contact." Often the stupidest way is the best way, which is to use Hong Kong as a point of contact, set up a company, and support a patriotic Vietnamese expatriate.
I am reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, donate more money, and create a red capitalist who can talk to the high-level Vietminh. Come openly, go with intelligence, and help the Vietminh smuggle some scarce strategic materials by the way, and even have unexpected gains, maybe even the funds can help you earn back. ”
Rich people engage in intelligence is different, it's really atmospheric!
The more Han Shuo thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and he said sincerely: "Mr. Li, your idea is too good, we can make a few preparations." For example, patriotic Vietnamese and overseas Chinese do not touch the information, and let the entourage or buddies take it, so that even if it is exposed, it can be shirked. ”
"You're a professional, you look at the arrangement. In short, we must find ways to control the risk and be responsible for the brothers who are lurking. ”
"Yes!"
