Sure enough, the next thing Zheng Nan mentioned was Java in the 18th century.

He mentioned that the heart of the imperialists has always been extremely vicious, not only in Spain, but also in the Netherlands. He mentions the shocking scene in 1740 in Batavia, the capital of Java, in which the Dutch executioners slaughtered unarmed Chinese nationals, causing a river to turn red and bloody, so much so that many historians call it the "Red River Massacre".

Zheng Nan will not fail to mention these things. He counted the sins of the Dutch in detail, and also recalled the tragic history of the Chinese diaspora.

In the past, the history of Chinese immigrants was a tragic history of blood and tears, and there was no other country in the world where immigrants had suffered such a terrible disaster as the Chinese immigrants suffered from that that would never end. Like orphans abandoned by their parents and left in a snake cave, they have no one to protect them except to protect themselves. A British writer who was quite familiar with Southeast Asia once said with great emotion, "Being a Chinese in the nineteenth century is really a torture." This sentence illustrates the tragic plight of the Chinese diaspora. In fact, it is not only the diaspora that suffers really much, which ordinary Chinese in the nineteenth century have suffered well? However, it would be more appropriate to add the word "most" in front of the situation of the diaspora.

"We Chinese are bitter, and Chinese expatriates are even more bitter." Shi Dakai looked at the members of the Dutch mission, and his voice was not loud, but he continued Zheng Nan's words with great majesty, "Our Celestial Empire today is the Celestial Empire of all Chinese descendants, and the history of our expatriates being abandoned will be completely in the past." ”

"yes!" Zheng Nan nodded with emotion, and looked at the Count of Egmont with an embarrassed expression, "Your Excellency, you and your colleagues are both envoys of Sino-Dutch friendship, and we don't mean to find a back account when we say this. We just want to say that your country and your government must be ashamed and must be ashamed to think of the inhumane treatment that your people have suffered, and to think of the evil that your country has inflicted on our people. Our ancients had a pithy old saying, called 'Be brave when you are ashamed', that is, only when a person truly knows his own mistakes and knows the sins he has brought to others, can he do things well in the future. You and your colleagues have seen that in our Celestial Empire, not a single truly peace-loving Gentile has ever been discriminated against, let alone indecent. On the contrary, we also demand that the countries and people who want to be good with us treat each of our expatriates equally equally. This is the ultimate guarantee that we will be able to be friendly forever. You say yes, right? ”

The reason why Zheng Nan said this was that it was obvious that he had a problem in mind. Why is there no record of "Lan Fangguo" in the history books he once studied? There may be some other reason, but it is clear that it was eventually destroyed by some country. In the mid-to-late nineteenth century, the Dutch and the British were active predators in Southeast Asia, and it was very likely that Lan Fangguo was destroyed in their hands, and he had to give the Netherlands a preventive shot in advance.

Zheng Nan really thought well.

The historical Lanfang Kingdom was founded in 1776 A.D. and died in 1886 A.D., and the founding time was as long as 110 years, and the executioner who destroyed this beautiful paradise with his own hands is precisely the Dutch who sit here today and once praised it.

Of course, the Count of Egmont understood what the other party meant. However, after listening to the second half of the words of His Excellency the Vice President, his initial uneasiness was greatly reduced. Before he came, His Majesty the King and even the cabinet of the government thought about his past, considering that the other party might raise similar issues, and gave him the right to deal with it on the spot. Misled by the British, they have also been too convinced of their consistent impression of this place, and they have misjudged the reality of China. As a result of the unexpectedly rapid development of this southern regime, and because of their own mistakes, they have been caught off guard in many respects and have lost many business opportunities. In order to be friendly with China's southern government, to put it bluntly, it is to share the favor of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government with the United States, France and other countries and obtain the greatest economic benefits, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands is not afraid to apologize.

Can it be said that this is driven by pure profit? Maybe you can say it, maybe you can't. Because, more people who expect to get benefits do not want to apologize for the past, they only want the present and the future. From this point of view, the Netherlands is worth learning from.

"Your Excellency the Vice-President is right. I am very sorry that our government has long considered the various injuries that our predecessors have brought to your country, but due to the negligence of the contemptible people, they mistakenly thought that your government would be like the Qing government in the north, and they may have forgotten about it. So ......"

Count Egmont stood up slowly, bowed deeply to the leaders of the four Red Celestial Empires opposite, and bowed to the four leaders of the Red Celestial Empire opposite: "For the sake of the complete victory of your country, the complete defeat of your enemies, and also in order to show our repentance for the great China, the Kingdom of the Netherlands has done its part in the previous stage. But today, on behalf of our esteemed King Xià, on behalf of our government and people, I would like to sincerely apologize to your country and to the people of your country! If your government and people can give us a chance, we will do our best to recover the losses we have brought to the Chinese people! ”

All the officers of the Dutch mission stood up and bowed, their faces full of apologies.

Yang Xiuqing stood up, Shi Dakai stood up, Zheng Nan and Hong Renji all stood up, this is the tolerance of a great nation.

"I'm very moved," Yang Xiuqing looked at Shi Dakai and the others beside him, and then at Egmont and the members of the mission, and arched his hand, "We are willing to interact with all countries and people who want to become friends with the people of the Celestial Empire, and we are more willing to treat each other with sincerity." On behalf of the people of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, I accept the apology of the King and the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It is hoped that the two sides will take this as a warning and not intrude on each other. ”

After such a seemingly simple, but even more difficult moment, the inside of the Qinzheng Hall became like the weather outside, and it became hot.

The leaders of the Celestial Empire and the members of the Dutch mission chatted and laughed with each other, inquired about their respective national economies and people's livelihoods, and discussed and talked freely about the history and experience of their respective countries' anti-aggression wars......

It seems that it is only at this time that Count Egmont truly grasps the once familiar, yet so strange ancient people in front of him. If his apology was acting, and he once inadvertently used the word "great" to crown the country, then now, he really feels what it means to be "great of mankind".

The time for the meeting was exceeded, and this was the first "occasional mistake" of the leaders of the Celestial Empire in a diplomatic situation.

More than once the Count of Ögmont was prompted by his assistants, and he forgot about it. When he finally felt embarrassed again, and did not allow him to apologize again, His Excellency the Vice-President, who was a great pair in his heart, gave him another round of dignity. This dignity is enough for him to be greeted like a hero when he returns to his homeland.

Zheng Nan smiled and glanced at everyone in the Dutch mission as if inquiringly, his words were not serious, but they were like thunder, "Gentlemen and friends, I am neither a politician nor a military strategist commanding thousands of troops. If it weren't for the needs of the Celestial Empire, I just wanted to be an advocate of studying science and working for peace. You are honored that the Academy of Sciences of the Celestial Empire will soon complete the research work on human blood exchange, and we will hold a press conference at that time, which can be attended by all medical professionals who are willing to participate. There must be people who understand medicine among you, and you are welcome to come and guide you, and bring the results of this research back to your country and spread it to the surrounding areas, so that more people who need this research results can benefit. ”

There was silence in the hall for a moment, and then a round of applause erupted. This is the Dutch mission members expressing their heartfelt excitement, completely forgetting that they should keep this hall solemn?

The meeting was over, bidding farewell to Yang Xiuqing, Shi Dakai and others, Zheng Nan hurried back to the Tianjing Academy of Sciences. As he himself said, he really doesn't want to be a politician, and he won't command thousands of troops like Lin Haifeng, and his position should be here. Whoever came into contact with him, no matter how many years later, whether at home or abroad, unanimously praised him for his kindness and kindness. Of course, his tremendous contribution to contemporary science is beyond words to praise ten years later.

Indeed, although he is close to Lin Haifeng, although he and Lin Haifeng share the same beliefs and pursuits. However, he still has one of the biggest differences from Lin Haifeng, that is, human nature and tolerance. For a long time, as long as Lin Haifeng was alive, he had always been like this. Just like today to the Netherlands, you killed my people, you ignored my dignity, as long as you are willing to bend down, as long as you are willing to apologize, to admit the mistakes of that period of history, then he can forgive.

Of course, every time like this, he would have jokes with his "comrade captain". They were contemporaries, but they were two diametrically opposed personalities. In his opinion, the "comrade captain" was too jealous and hateful, and he was too vindictive. Of course, even if Lin Haifeng is on an occasion like today, he believes that his "comrade captain" will say and express himself as he said today. But others don't know that what he said today is true, and if it is his turn to express his "comrade captain" like this, then at least 99% of it will be a show. Good and evil are rewarded, not that they are not repaid, and the time has not yet come, this is what his "comrade captain" hides in his heart. He couldn't even guess how Lin Haifeng would reshuffle the world in the end?

In the middle of the dean's office, Hong Xuanjiao was holding a small one in her arms, and a big one was lying on her stomach, accompanied by two sleeping children, sitting quietly on the edge of the bed. From time to time, she would turn her face sideways and listen to the door of the outhouse.

Outside the door, as soon as there was a sound of footsteps, she would immediately sit upright, and after waiting for a while, she found that the footsteps were gradually moving away, and a very self-deprecating smile would ripple on her face. And then it begins, and then it enters a new cycle.

It's really sad to marry such a husband, and you can't educate it. There seems to be no difference between the two people who are not at home for three days, and there seems to be no difference. Folk often say, "Marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, marry a stick and go", Hong Xuanjiao has a deep understanding of these. Marrying someone like Zheng Nan is destined to worry about him every day. There is only one person, she always has to rest, so she is consumed to death, she doesn't know if others are distressed, but she is distressed to death.

Outside the door of the outhouse, in the sound of kicking and tapping, the familiar voice finally sounded, and then, I heard the half-baked foreign Chinese, hehe, grandma has waited for so long, and this time she is really back.

Hong Xuanjiao looked down at the two children who were sleeping sweetly, her face tensed, and she gritted her teeth.
