Pin was in Ouyang Nanhua's command of the Chinese immigrant self-defense group in the primeval forest of North Borneo. In the Xinfuzhou Reclamation Field, more than 100 kilometers away from the Xinmin Qing Reclamation Field, an overseas Chinese businessman was anxiously waiting for a telegram.

This Huaqiao merchant was Huang Qiuyuan, and he was also an important figure in the link that now connects the various Chinese reclamation farms throughout Borneoyuan. If he suddenly quits this "colonization game." words, then the whole. The Chinese farms in Borneo will face an economic crisis to a greater or lesser extent. Huang Qiuyuan's business in Borneo also relied on this barter trade as the main source of profit, and through this means of trade, he had accumulated considerable economic power in two years.

However, this economic power is not stable, because it is a tree without roots, and it relies on the "protection" of the British colonial authorities to leave this "protection". Huang Qiuyuan was not only unable to continue his business, but he may not even be able to establish himself in the British colonies of Nanyang.

Now, the telegram that Huang Qiuyuan is waiting for was photographed by the British colonial authorities, and this telegram will directly determine Huang Qiuyuan's future in business, because just a few days ago. According to the British colonial authorities, this was to examine the qualifications of the merchants, but through the Chinese consul in Singapore, Huang Qiuyuan learned that the real purpose of the British colonial authorities was to threaten the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and withdraw its moral support for the Korean diaspora.

Huang Qiuyuan was helpless about this, he was very unwilling, so he immediately took some measures to try to restore the commercial license.

As a successful businessman, Huang Qiuyuan had many "friends" in the British colonial office. After these people collect the money, they can still play a role, so Huang Qiuyuan has contacted these "friends" through his connections yesterday, and Ding asked them to run for this matter and strive to restore his commercial license as soon as possible.

However, the matter was very tricky, and it was said that the order was personally given by the governor of the British Straits Settlements. Therefore, those low-level colonial officials may not be useful, and Huang Qiuyuan completely salvaged the situation with the attitude of treating dead horses as live horse doctors, whether it was successful or not, at least he did his best.

But what Huang Qiuyuan is worried about now is not only about this commercial licensing right, he is also worried about another thing, that is, the situation on the side of the Xinmin Qing Reclamation Field, in fact, the reason why Huang Qiuyuan hurriedly returned to Xinfuzhou from Xinyueqing was for the matter of the Xinminqing Armed Self-Defense Corps, as soon as he arrived in Xinfuzhou, Huang Qiuyuan immediately took a telegram to the Chinese Consulate in Singapore through cable telegram. Will Ouyang Nanhua's "radical approach." and the possible consequences to report to Mr. Consul, and urge Mr. Consul to intervene in the matter and prevent the Xinmin Reclamation Field from provoking the princes of the Tubang by force.

However, Mr. Consul was not very enthusiastic about the situation in Xinyueqing, after Huang Qiuyuan's telegram was taken. Although the consulate affirmed his actions. However, Mr. Consul did not intend to send people to Xinminqing to disband the Chinese Immigration Self-Defense Corps right now, because Mr. Consul was running for the chaotic situation in Singapore, and he was in and out of various diplomatic occasions every day, consulting with diplomats from Britain, the United States, France, Russia, and Thailand, and had no time to care about other things.

Since Consul Fang and Sheng were unwilling to stop the actions of the Xinmin Qing people against the princes of the Tubang state, Huang Qiuyuan had to take a role in this. Because it was he who pulled the strings and created favorable conditions for the establishment of the Xinyue Reclamation Field, and the British colonial authorities have always promoted the "joint sitting" of the Chinese society in the colony. system, therefore, once the Xinmin Reclamation Field opened fire on the army of the Tubang King, when the British colonial authorities investigated it, he Huang Qiuyuan could not escape the involvement, although he was indeed opposed to the use of force against the British colonial order.

Huang Qiuyuan waited anxiously for the telegram in the reclamation yard of Xinfuzhou, although the telegraph office here was very simple, as long as the telegraph was not damaged. Then Huang Qiuyuan will stay in the house near the telegraph office all the time. Finally, the old telegraph in the telegraph office finally "ticked". Huang Qiuyuan hurried to the telegraph office and stood by the telegraph machine. Watch as the telegraph operator transcribs the code. And diagnose the code into Chinese characters.

Soon the telegram was finished, and it took a few minutes for the telegraph operator to print it out, and then handed the transcript to Huang Qiuyuan.

Huang Qiuyuan took the telegram and looked at it, and was dumbfounded.

This telegram was photographed by the British Governor-General of the Straits Settlements, and the content was not complicated, that is, to tell Huang Qiuyuan that the British Governor-General personally rejected Huang Qiuyuan's request for the restoration of commercial permits, and the reason was neither because of the matter of the New Minqing Armed Migrant Self-Defense Corps, nor because of the situation in North Borneo. Rather, it was because Huang Qiuyuan's son, Huang Chengshan, was involved in "illegal activities."

Huang Qiuyuan was frightened by the telegram from the Governor's Palace, because the telegram was vague. He had to immediately take another telegram to the Chinese consulate in Singapore, asking the consulate to help inquire about what "illegal activities" Huang Chengshan was involved in. ”

However, due to the intermittent telegraph contact with Singapore, it was not until the evening that Huang Qiuyuan received a call back from Singapore, and the consulate told Huang Qiuyuan very politely that his son Huang Chengshan was now elected by the local Chinese community and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce as a political brain, specifically responsible for communicating with the British colonial authorities, perhaps, in the eyes of the British Governor, this kind of behavior is "illegal activities."

Huang Qiuyuan was even more worried, he was not in Singapore, he was afraid that his son would cause some trouble, and wanted to take a telegram with his son Zhuang Zhipin, but the consulate replied that Danfa contacted, and Qian was even more anxious after a while. I decided to go back to Singapore.

But now the situation in Singapore is chaotic. The Korean diaspora forces had entered a state of all-out war with the British colonial forces, and the British colonial authorities blocked sea communications. It is basically impossible to return directly to Singapore via the sea route.

Huang decided to take a roundabout route, first to the Philippines, then to Vietnam, which was under French control, to land in the French colony of Vietnam, and then to return to Singapore by train south to Malaya.

This journey is also not easy, and now the entire Nanyang region is a little chaotic, and Huang Qiuyuan must take the risk.

Huang Qiuyuan said that he would leave, and after dawn the next day, he immediately left Xinfuzhou by boat and rushed to Xingang. He boarded a French freighter to the Philippines and transferred to Vietnam on the same day he arrived in the Philippines, where he disembarked in Saigon. From there, we took the train all the way to Malaya, crossed most of Indochina, and then took the train south to the Malay Peninsula from Tura to Johor, north of Singapore, after a long and arduous journey of several days, and finally arrived in Johor, north of Singapore, where it stopped.

The reason why you can't go directly to the port of Singapore is because there is a fierce street fighting going on there. The British team blocked all traffic in the Straits of Johor and no one could enter the port of Singapore without permission.

Huang Qiuyuan was in a hurry outside Singapore. But there was nothing he could do, and it was here that he learned that Singapore had been rendered beyond recognition by the war, and that many local Chinese had to flee the city, and there were many people like Huang Qiuyuan. They did not want to side with the British colonial authorities, nor did they want to fully support the anti-British struggle of the Korean diaspora forces, so they had to live on the streets.

It was through these camps that the Chinese community set up refugee shelters in Johor, with the assistance of the Chinese Consulate in Singapore, to accommodate the Chinese and overseas Chinese.

Although the fighting in the city of Singapore continued, because the British had already sent a large number of troops from India to prepare for a bloody bath in the city, the Chinese people were generally not optimistic about those Korean bridge people who were still insisting on fighting, in fact, even the Korean people themselves did not have much confidence in this way of fighting, and many Koreans who had already joined the "Goryeo Volunteer Army" have now left the army, some fled to Johor with the Chinese, and some surrendered to the British army and were imprisoned in a British concentration camp in Penang.

After the Chinese community takes in refugees. Some refugees were also sent to Penang for resettlement. Because there were many Chinese there who could help, Huang Qiuyuan was also asked to go to Penang to concentrate. But he refused. Because his son Huang Chengshan is now "missing" and cannot be contacted. I don't know if it's in the city of Singapore. has already been evacuated to another place, so Huang Qiuyuan decided to settle in Johor to find his son's whereabouts.

But Wong Chiu Yuan didn't stay long in Johor, and soon he had to rush to Pinang, because the day after he arrived in Johor, the first Indian troops from India from the British landed in Singapore, and then followed. The British Governor General of the Straits Settlements declared an all-out war. and ordered all the Chinese and Korean bridge people gathered near Singapore to leave immediately, otherwise they would be regarded as "insurgents" and shot by the British and Indian troops, in this situation. Huang Qiuyuan didn't want to go, so he had to go. Huang Qiuyuan cried all the way to Penang, he was sad, on the one hand, his son whose whereabouts were unknown, and on the other hand, he could not rest assured that he had accumulated the family business for many years. In contrast, he is more concerned about the safety of his son Huang Chengshan, and if he can't find his son's whereabouts for a day, he can't let go of his mind for a day.

By the time they arrived at Penang, it was already overcrowded, and because of the large number of Chinese from Singapore rushing to Penang, the city could no longer accommodate so many people, and the local British garrison was also nervous, so they set up checkpoints outside the city, placing those penniless Chinese and Huaqiao outside the city, and only allowing those who had money to enter the city.

Huang Qiuyuan through the relationship of the consulate. I got a document for myself to enter the city of Penang. But after entering the city, he was surprised to find that there were refugee shelters established by Chinese communities everywhere in the city, and two of them were the largest, one was the local overseas Chinese organization Minyue Society, and the other was the League.

Seeing the banner of the Alliance again, Huang Qiuyuan was very surprised, he thought that this organization had already been disbanded.

After asking the staff of those alliances, Huang Qiuyuan understood, it turned out that this. The League is not the same as the previous League, although the leader of both organizations was the famous revolutionary activist Mr. Sun. But compared to the alliance of the past, the current alliance will be more effective and united. In fact, members of the Confederacy who now join the Order must sign a pledge of allegiance to the leader.

What's more, the leader of the League, Mr. Sun, is now in Penang and has personally participated in the refugee relief work, and is responsible for finding the relatives of the Chinese who were separated from the war.

Huang Qiuyuan immediately decided. Go and ask this Mr. Sun for help. Use the Alliance's network to find his son, Hwang Seung-sun.

Huang Qiuyuan didn't know that at this time, the alliance was in fierce competition with the Fujian Yue Society, and both organizations were fighting for the hearts and minds of the people, and standing behind the Fujian Yue Society was the small Nanyang United Front. And his son Huang Chengshan is this. An important member of the small United Front. If you want to know what will happen next, please log in...
