Gu Jianhua also graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, but only one year later than Wang Jingui.

In order to have enough to eat, tens of thousands of veterans who retreated to Phu Quoc Island went on hunger strike under the organization of several generals. People are dying of hunger, so wouldn't they die even faster if they go on a hunger strike?

He couldn't stand it, and took a group of brothers to fight with the French army. As a result, the fight was won, and the military uniform was stripped away.

He was expelled from the military for openly disobeying orders and contempt for his superiors, and he was not included in the list of those who had been withdrawn from Taiwan, just like Wang Jingui and others who left the army first in order to have enough food for their wives and children.

Although he was only promoted to the rank of major when he was dismissed, he also participated in the expeditionary force and went to Burma, took his brothers to fight with little devils when he was a platoon commander and company commander, and even went to Ramgarh, India, where he was trained as an American consultant.

When a bodyguard is still a bodyguard, no matter how high the salary is, how can he lead the soldiers to be happy.

The eldest young master wants to pull the army and do great things!

He didn't want to do nothing for a lifetime, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, the more excited he became, revealing a look of eagerness to try. Wang Jingui was not as impulsive as him, and asked in a low voice: "Nongren? ”

He is from the northeast and is not familiar with Vietnam.

After Huang Jie withdrew to Vietnam, he was placed under house arrest by the French army like a prisoner, and later separated from the First Corps and has been wandering in the south.

Li Weimin took a sip of tea from his cup, and said with a sideways smile: "Mr. Qian, you are very knowledgeable, please introduce Mr. Wang and Mr. Gu." ”

"Gladly."

The ideology is not radical, but they just want to protect themselves and completely put the interests of overseas Chinese in the first place, and this is what overseas Chinese in Vietnam should do. Qian Xinlin very much agreed with his proposition, feeling that what he wanted to do was more meaningful than what he had done before, and pointed to the map and introduced:

"The so-called Nong people are actually Hakka-speaking Han Chinese, and there are several branches, and the time of migration into Annam (Vietnam) is also different, some of them migrated from Qinzhou, Lianzhou, Fangcheng, and Lingshan in the 17th and 18th centuries. Some of them participated in the Taiping Rebellion, but after their defeat they were suppressed and expelled by the Qing court, and they were forced to move to the Haining region (present-day Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam) between 1849 and 1863.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Hakka rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, and the Hakka were defeated and forced to relocate; Some moved from eastern and northern Guangdong to the central and southern coastal areas, while others continued to move as far as Haining north of the Beilun River and became original inhabitants of Haining, but they have always insisted that they are Chinese. ”

Gu Jianhua exclaimed: "Coming to Vietnam for so long? ”

"Yes."

Qian Xinlin smiled and then introduced: "In 1885, Liu Yongfu of the Black Flag Army defeated the French army, but the mediocre Qing government signed the 'Treaty of Tianjin' that lost power and humiliated the country. The treaty stipulated that the Beilun River would be used as the boundary, and the Jiangnan area would be assigned to Vietnam, and the Chinese who had originally lived in Haining would also return to Vietnam, and it officially became a French colony in 1893.

After the surrender of Japan, the French returned to Vietnam, and the Haining area was taken back one after another.

The French and Vietnamese authorities immediately conducted a census to register residents' occupations. Chinese in Haining report 'farming' when filling in 'occupation'. Given that their place of residence has been designated as Vietnamese territory under the Treaty of Tientsin, it is not appropriate for the French side to continue to call them 'Chinese'.

Moreover, they do not know Vietnamese, and their language, writing, customs, culture and way of life are purely Chinese Han Chinese, so they cannot be called Vietnamese. In the end, the French and Vietnamese authorities identified them as one of the ethnic minorities in Vietnam, and called them "peasants" and "peasants" based on their "occupation" of farming and farming. ”

Wang Jingui suddenly realized, and couldn't help sighing: "It turns out that they are of the same language and species as us, and they are Han people like us!" ”

"It's not just them."

Qian Xinlin took the cigarette handed by Ah Cai, and explained with a smile: "Actually, there are two branches of the Nong tribe in northern Vietnam: one is for them and the other is a branch of the Zhuang tribe. After moving to Vietnam, many branches were divided, such as the Dai people, the Laki people, the Bubiao people, and the Gaolan people. They have a close relationship with the Nong people, especially the Dai people, and their language and customs are basically the same as those of the Nong people, the main difference is that those who moved into Vietnam from China before the 18th century are called Dai, and those who moved into Vietnam after the 18th century are called Nong. ”

Ruan Minh Xiu knew the Nong people very well, and added in a low voice: "Haining Nong has always maintained traditional Chinese customs, and the only difference between the Hakka people in Xidi is that the Nong people have always enshrined the Eastern Han Dynasty Ma Yuan Fubo General, and they have to visit the Fubo Temple on the sixth day of the first lunar month every year."

In addition, now the Nong area is not all Nong, there are many ** defeated soldiers who retreated to Vietnam, and many inland refugees who fled to Vietnam. They lived with the Nong, intermarried with each other, and could no longer tell the difference. The so-called Nong people are only the name given to them by the French and South Vietnamese. There were no Nong people in North Vietnam, only 'Tangshan Yan', only Chinese. ”

If there is a **rout, you can be co-opted!

The eldest young master has money, and there are not thirty but twenty overseas Chinese who are as rich as the eldest young master, and it is very easy to pull a team and raise an army of twenty or thirty thousand people, anyway, Vietnam is full of mountains, and I don't care about one more overseas Chinese warlord.

Gu Jianhua's blood was boiling, not knowing that Young Master Li had a safe plan with a time span of more than twenty years, and asked eagerly: "Mr. Qian, how many people, how many soldiers, and how many guns do they have?" ”

Qian Xinlin thought about it for a while and said unhurriedly: "Including the Nong and Dai people, there are no less than 300,000 Chinese of the same language and race in the entire northern Vietnam. As for the army, there are now two divisions, all of which are under General Huang Yasheng. ”

"Huang Yasheng, I seem to have heard of it."

Speaking of Huang Yasheng, Nguyen Minh Xiu couldn't help but think of her husband, and said gloomily: "General Huang was born in Haining, went to the French Army Military Academy for further study in his early years, stayed in the school as an instructor after graduation, and was later sent back to Vietnam to serve in the French and Vietnamese army. After the Japanese army was stationed in Vietnam, due to the difficult situation, he contacted the commander of the Fourth Theater Zhang Fakui, and with the consent to lead his troops to withdraw to the 100,000 mountains of Guangxi, and carried out guerrilla warfare with **, and led his troops to return to Vietnam after the surrender of the Japanese army.

The Nong army was brave and good at fighting and had outstanding achievements, and was integrated into the main force of the French army.

In order to divide and disintegrate the anti-French forces in Vietnam and reduce their own pressure, the French gave a lot of local autonomy in the second year of their return to Vietnam, and the Haining Nong people also implemented autonomy and established the Nong Autonomous Region, the district government was located in Mong Cai, General Huang was the leader of Nong District, with a regional flag and a regional song, a weekly singing and flag-raising ceremony, and even a Chinese "Nong Shengbao".

General Hoang also served as the commander of the garrisons of Haining and Lang Son provinces, and several of his former military academy classmates served under him, including Lieutenant Tran Yun Wei, the grandson of General Liu Yuxin, the former principal of the Hanoi Military Academy. When I married my late husband, Major General Zhang Yinggui and Colonel Huang Duqing sent congratulatory gifts on behalf of General Huang. ”

There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. Li Weimin was surprised, he didn't expect her in-laws to have such a relationship with Huang Yasheng.

But it's normal to think about it, her husband is a Nong, and her in-laws are quite rich, so it is natural to associate with the Chinese who have heads and faces in the north of Vietnam, and besides, isn't the old man of his own family also fighting with high-ranking French officials.

Just when he was thinking that this trip should be smoother than he imagined, Qian Xinlin suddenly said: "Mr. Li, the Five Gangs Association has a certain influence in Xidi, but it is different in the north. They don't know much about us, and it's probably not that easy to pull them to our side. ”

Huang Yasheng is a veritable petty warlord, and it is indeed impossible for a local emperor with a gun to obey the orders of a group of merchants.

But at this moment, Li Weimin stretched his waist and smiled confidently: "Mr. Qian can rest assured that the situation is pressing, and now they have no better choice than to cooperate with us, accept our help, and let us settle them." Because only we in the whole world can help them, otherwise, we can only stay in his so-called autonomous region and wait for the Vietminh to liquidate. ”
