099 Project Cuckoo (Part I)
"And how are you going to clean up these people?" Bai Nan bit the words in this comic and felt goosebumps all over his body. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info dark department is of course Niu Bin's teasing private name, but later because it followed the wishes of some people, so it spread, the actual official title of the dark department is "National Security Special Task Force", which belongs to the National Security Bureau under the Ministry of Security.
Niu Bin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't clean up." β
Bai Nan's eyes widened, and he said incredulously: "What? β
Niu Bin chuckled and explained, "That's why I came to say hello to you." Three or two cats and dogs, giving themselves the name of bullshit liberals, they feel that they have the ability to 'overthrow' the government, which is simply a big joke in the world. However, their behavior is very bad, and we can't ignore it, but now only through this incident, it is difficult for us to completely wipe out this group of people, at least Ji Ru and a group of core figures did not show their heads in this incident, so we lack strong evidence and beat them to death with a hammer. β
Bai Nan frowned and said, "So the Shadow Department is planning to wait for their next move?" But have you ever considered that another similar incident could have an even worse impact, and the liberals are also growing, and the next time they make a scene, it may be a real storm. β
"Don't worry, my Excellency General Counselor, the shadows just need a little more time, we'll take care of the situation ourselves, and now that we have a full grasp of the liberal rallies and actions, whatever they plan next, we can crack it first. At that time, it will not be as simple as the two people who were arrested and sentenced to three years this time. Niu Bin's eyes flashed with a special light.
Bai Nan immediately thought of something and said, "Is it exile?" β
Niu Bin smiled even more happily and said: "That's right, this is still the means of Western colonizers, people like them, kill our knives with a knife, and they will have a reputation for being brutal and unkind, this world is so big, there are a lot of land waiting for our Tang Dynasty to occupy, we are already underpopulated, let these people open up the wasteland for us, how good." β
Historically, Australia was the site of British exile, and eventually it grew into a prosperous country. However, Bai Nan felt that for Datang, this place in Australia was obviously too expensive, and it was not worth it for the prisoners to toss, well, for those strange people who were doing things all day long and were self-conscious, maybe the cannibal-rampaged island of New Guinea might be a very good choice.
"Well, I just hope that our country will be less antagonistic and more harmonious, and if there really are unrepentant people, I hope to be able to expel them from our homeland as soon as possible."
Niu Bin smiled even more, "Don't worry, General Counselor, you can only do it faster than you think." β

A small turmoil finally passed, and Bai Nan took the initiative to announce to the outside world that most of the gifts he was carrying were native products from the Qing Dynasty, mainly trinkets such as tea and handicrafts, and all he spent was his own savings, without embezzling a penny of the state. This kind of behavior is not unacceptable to most people, many people will go abroad to help relatives and friends buy some things, if you buy too much, the customs will generally think that it is smuggling, but it is difficult to investigate reasonably. In addition, sailors who go to sea often do such things, it is a well-known thing.
As for how Bai Nan won the Guangdong Customs and the Governor of Liangguang, this kind of thing will naturally not be taken out in detail, and after the matter has passed, people have also become too hot.
Of course, a certain amount of positive reporting is also necessary, and Bai Nan took great risks and pressures to complete this migratory bird plan, completed the trade volume of millions of Tang Yuan, and brought more than 1,000 new immigrants to Datang. This is an achievement that cannot be erased, although many things have not been disclosed in detail, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that Bai Nan has excellent leadership and execution, and without him, the migratory bird plan would not have been implemented so smoothly.
At the National Administration Building, Paik Nam attended a meeting held by the Cabinet.
Now this conference hall has become more and more high-grade, the office supplies are more elegant, and there are even some rare and precious ornaments, hanging some famous paintings. There are also some potted plants in the conference room, which have been specially trimmed and look quite emotional.
The bigwigs finally have tea on hand, and they are all made according to personal tastes, mostly high-end teas such as Longjing, and the bigwigs have good salaries and can afford to consume these. However, Ye Baozao, the president of the bank, is an exception, he drinks a cup of coffee, and the coffee beans smuggled from Mexico taste very good.
At this time, the bigwigs couldn't care about their fresh drinks, and everyone looked at a plan distributed to them by Bai Nan with different expressions, and no one spoke for a long time.
Zhao Daling looked at Bai Nan with a smile and said, "You kid, this matter just can't get over, an opium war must be fought." β
Bai Nan didn't smile, he was very serious, and said: "It's not my personal persistence, but in reality, unless a war breaks the existing closed structure of the Qing State and grabs what we need, otherwise, whether it is trade or immigration, we will face all kinds of restrictions of the Qing State, which will make our development suffer from negative impacts." β
Because it involves military operations, several high-level military officials also attended the meeting, Liu Fangwu frowned deeply, he instinctively rejected the use of troops against the Qing Dynasty, and the people of the Republic of China at that time were still close to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so they did not have the complex of the later emperors and Han Dynasty after the rise of the later dynasty. Liu Fangwu himself had seen the cruelty of the civil war, and he hated the Chinese beating the Chinese.
However, Bai Nan listed each item in the plan, and it was very clear that due to the corrupt bureaucracy and feudal characteristics, the Qing government would spare no effort to crack down on the movement of immigrants to the sea. It is impossible to recruit immigrants through public channels, and even if they do so privately, they face policy and regulatory risks. Moreover, it can be seen from this migratory bird plan that whether or not to do business with the Tang people is just a matter of the subjective thoughts of the officials, and the trade of the Tang people is affected by uncontrollable factors at any time. In fact, the Europeans of this era suffered more from this big loss. The Qing government often backtracked on trade, inflicting unpredictable losses on European merchants.
A typical example is the Hong Renhui incident in 1759, in the early Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty was a four-port trade, the British were more accustomed to trade in Guangzhou, but in 1755, the East India Company's translator Hong Renhui (James Flint), led a merchant ship to Ningbo, Zhejiang. They were warmly welcomed by local officials, and tariffs and fees were lower than in Guangzhou. Coupled with the fact that Jiangnan itself was the source of their main purchases, tea and silk, it was closer to Guangdong and cheaper, so the British East India Company focused on opening up the Ningbo trade.
However, Qianlong, who had no good impression of foreign merchants, saw with his own eyes the foreign merchant ships on the sea of Zhejiang, and they all carried weapons and sold a large number of goods to foreigners, and finally in 1757 he abolished the four-port trade, and only Guangzhou was allowed to trade, and the government was forbidden to communicate directly with foreign merchants, and the thirteen lines of Guangzhou were used as intermediaries (Qianlong believed that officials directly received foreign businessmen, which was a loss of honor in the Celestial Empire). Of course, there is also the fighting method of Guangdong officials and Zhejiang officials, if all foreign businessmen go to Ningbo, it will naturally seriously affect the purse income of Guangdong officials, so they complained to Qianlong, and finally contributed to this matter.
Unwillingly, Hong Renhui came to Tianjin by boat, found an interpreter, wrote a complaint in Chinese, and bribed the governor to pass it on to the Qianlong Emperor. In the complaint, Hung Renhui accused the Cantonese customs officials of embezzlement and troubleshooting foreign merchants, and on behalf of the East India Company, he hoped that the Qing government would change the foreign trade system. Qianlong not only did not perceive the emotions of the foreign businessmen, but was furious, believing that this kind of behavior greatly violated the dignity of the Celestial Empire, and suspected that he was "borrowing the name of submitting the papers, and Yin was a temptation plan". As a result, Hong Renhui was deported, and the interpreter who wrote the complaint for Hong Renhui ended up being beheaded for public display.
Bai Nan used a lot of examples and narratives to support his point. That is, under the current Qing Dynasty system, it is extremely difficult for the Tang Republic to achieve its goal of trade and immigration, and it faces great risks. Of course, Bai Nan inevitably has his own selfishness in it, saying that he does not rebel in a clean dress, chrysanthemum set electric drill, etc., Bai Nan does not necessarily have such thoughts, but from the perspective of a nationalist, if the Chinese nation wants to lead the world and dominate the world, it is not enough to develop a Tang Republic established on the west coast of North America. In other words, with the size of the Tang Republic, it is not enough to represent the entire Chinese nation.
The main body of the Chinese people is still in China, they are still poor, backward, ignorant and ignorant, only by opening their eyes and letting them enter the rolling trend of the times, can they hope to change this time and space and achieve extraordinary causes.
After the crossing, the vast majority of people would not have the heart to live in the Qing Dynasty, because that way of life and customs and culture could no longer accept them. And to really change a huge country with a population of 300 million and an area of tens of millions of square kilometers, this kind of snake swallowing elephant alone has already discouraged all normal people. The Chinese, who have a peaceful and self-respecting character, hope to be able to live their own lives, and as for the distant Qing Kingdom, it has little to do with them.
The 130,000 people who traveled through the crowd were mostly down-to-earth people, they had little knowledge, and they didn't have much fantasies bombarded with information from later generations. There are some young people with anti-Qing sentiments in the modern congregation, but the reality is that when they really come to this matter, they have no way to do it, and even the spirit of shouting slogans has been weakened.
In this world, most people are talking or delusional, and only a few people will really do things, and Bai Nan is this kind of person.
