Chapter 243: Nanyang Chinese Family

After listening to Guo Yu's words, Wu Dazhu asked, "We don't know much about the Netherlands, how is the current military strength of the Netherlands?" ”

"Although the Netherlands has a good reputation, but according to our understanding, it is too small, its territory is only more than 40,000 square kilometers, its population is only 6 million, and its army is only a few hundred thousand. The invincible armada, which dominated the sea two hundred years ago, is now in the twilight of its infancy, and has been ravaged by European countries many times in the past hundred years, and now it is not worth mentioning, and now they have only six real cruisers, as well as three or four coastal defense ships. Guo Yu introduced the current situation in the Netherlands to the two.

Lin Haichao said, "With our current naval strength, there is no problem in the face of the Japanese fleet, even if we count the Dutch warships, we can win the battle, if we use covert tactics, then there is no problem, after all, our current warships are much more advanced than the enemy's, and the weapons are also much more advanced." ”

"Now you need to make a detailed strategic plan, how we want to fight, what effect we want to receive, and how to end in the end, we must plan in detail.

"The military department is responsible for this matter, and this is our top priority after the founding of the People's Republic of China, so the department must take this matter as the lead, and make every effort to serve the war plan against Japan, and hand it over to me within three days, no problem." Guo Yu said to Dazhu.

"No problem." Wu Dazhu said affirmatively.

Wu Dazhu and Lin Haichao said goodbye and left, and the secretary Han Cheng came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the time has come to meet the representatives of the Nanyang Chinese family, see if you can arrange to meet them." ”

Guo Yu looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning. Guo Yu got up and picked up his coat and said to Han Cheng: "Let's go, go and meet these Chinese representatives." As he spoke, he walked out of the office first.

Nanyang Chinese are an important part of the entire social class in Nanyang, some people say. The development of the whole Nanyang is driven by the Chinese, in fact, this is not necessarily wrong.

The archipelago of the South Seas was mainly driven and influenced by two ideas, that is, Buddhism in India and China had the most profound influence on it, and the natives of this archipelago were still living a life of drinking blood. China has recently entered a highly developed feudal dynastic society, both culturally and militarily, which has a great influence on the archipelago.

Especially after entering the Nanyang tide several times, more and more Chinese have become in the archipelago, relying on their clever minds and industrious conduct. gradually became wealthy, but this also aroused the covetousness of the natives, so it often happened that the Chinese worked hard to run it, but were robbed by the natives.

The Chinese in Nanyang gradually united, and many forces were formed, such as the organization 'Bamboo Net Dragon Hall', which took root on Jawa Island, which gathered the power of the Chinese family on Jawa Island and gradually developed.

Of course on the island of Sumatra with Malaya. There are also such organizations in Singapore and other places, all of which are in order to protect their property. Organized spontaneously against the local natives and colonizers.

In later generations, especially during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, these Nanyang Chinese also played a great role, donating money and materials, and even sending Chinese children to the mainland to participate in the war. In order to fight against the Japanese invaders, the history books speak highly of the Nanyang Chinese during this period.

At the time of Guo Yu's founding of the country. These Chinese families were also invited to participate in the founding ceremony and the enthronement ceremony, and these people were all Chinese. Although some of them are already the second or third generation of Chinese, but after all, they have the blood of the Chinese on their bodies, and they belong to Guo Yu's object, after all, the current Nanyang Chinese population is large, about 10 million people in total, of course, the distribution is relatively scattered, but it is also a huge number, Guo Yu is now in urgent need of population, so he has attracted the attention of these Chinese families.

These Chinese families have a pivotal position in the local Chinese forces, if they can attract this group of people to join their Nanhua Kingdom, they will save themselves a lot of things, and these big families have been operating in Nanyang for many years, familiar with the situation, and Guo Yu will be of great benefit to the future unification of Nanyang and the construction of the Nanhua Kingdom.

The four guards in front of him opened the way, and Guo Yu led Han Cheng into the reception hall on the second floor of the government building.

At this time, there were more than a dozen people sitting in the reception hall, some old people in their fifties and sixties, and some young people in their thirties.

These people know Guo Yu, after all, they participated in Guo Yu's enthronement ceremony, and they are naturally deeply impressed by this founding monarch who is only in his thirties.

These representatives of Nanyang Chinese families all stood up and welcomed His Majesty the King of Nanhua into the house.

Guo Yu looked at these people, many people showed nervous looks on their faces, Guo Yu showed a gentle smile, and said: "Let everyone wait, please sit down, Nanhua Kingdom has just been established, there are too many things to deal with, so I neglect you." ”

Saying that, Guo Yu waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down and talk. Seeing Guo Yu speak in a homely tone, these people relaxed a little, and sat down one after another and waited for Guo Yu to speak.

"I've been too busy lately to sit down and talk to you, and I don't know your names now." Guo Yu said with a smile.

After these people came, Guo Yu did not have time to meet them, but the personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who had just been established received them, and after the founding ceremony, Guo Yu ordered the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to lead the representatives of these Chinese families to visit many factories and enterprises in Huafu City, so as to increase the understanding of these Chinese families about the strength of South China and lay a good foundation for future cooperation.

As Guo Yu's secretary, Han Cheng naturally worked for him, so he stood up and introduced, "Your Majesty, this is Mr. Wu Shiqi of the Wu family who lives on Jawa Island, and this is Mr. Chen Shumao of the Chen family. ”

Wu Shiqi was about fifty years old, with some dark skin, not tall but a strong body, and his face had obvious southern Chinese characteristics. Chen Shumao looks like he is in his forties, slightly taller than Wu Shiqi, and relatively thin, wearing a coat with a feeling of clumping on his body, and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

Hearing Han Cheng introduce the two of them, Wu Shiqi and Chen Shumao hurriedly stood up and saluted to the state, Wu Shiqi said: "Your Majesty Wan'an, my name is Wu Shiqi, my ancestral home is Chaoshan, Guangdong, in the early years, I went to Nanyang with my father and brother, and later settled on Jawa Island, and now my brother is in charge of the family. ”

"My name is Chen Shumao, my ancestral home is also Chaoshan, Guangdong, I am a second-generation Chinese, my father went to Nanyang to work hard, and later gave birth to me on Jawa Island, but I received Chinese cultural education since I was a child, so I feel that I am an authentic Chinese." Chen Shumao said.

Later, Han Cheng introduced other family representatives who were doing it, in addition to Wu Shiqi and Chen Shumao from Java Island, as well as Li Tongren, the son of the Li family who lived in the Dutch East Indies, that is, Sumatra in the later generations, Zheng Guangfa, the younger brother of the Zheng family, and Xing Weitong, the head of the Xing family.

Qiu Xizhou of the Qiu family, Shen Yongliang of the Shen family, and Gao Fangli of the Gao family who lived in Malaya, which was later Malaysia.

The representative of the Feng family in the Philippines, the Kingdom of Siam, that is, the Song family and the Gao family of Thailand in later generations.

The Tan family and the Liew family in Singapore.

When Guo Yu heard the introduction of the Chen family, he heard the name of Chen Jiageng, which made Guo Yu pay attention to the Chen family in Singapore, and the person from the Chen family was called Chen Suwang, who was Chen Jiageng's cousin.

Chen Jiageng is very famous in later generations, although the current Chen family is not the top among the Chinese families in the industry, but he himself is still relatively famous.

However, in later generations, Chen Jiageng was even more famous, and was invited to the mainland in 49 years to serve as vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, and chairman of the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese. It was once praised by Mao Taizu as "the banner of overseas Chinese and the glory of the nation". He is a well-known patriotic overseas Chinese leader, entrepreneur, educator, philanthropist, and social activist.

In 1990, the International Minor Planet Center and the Committee on Asteroid Nomenclature named an asteroid numbered 2963 as "Tan Kah Kee Star".

At this time, Tan Kah Kee had joined the Alliance, was elected as the associate director of the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the prime minister of Tao Nan Academy, and had returned to China to prepare his own Jimei Hall.

"Your family is the leader of the Chinese in Nanyang, but also the elite of the business community, in the Chinese circle in Nanyang, have a high prestige, Nanhua has just been established, first of all, I want to thank you for coming to participate in the founding ceremony of Nanhua."

"Nanhua is a Chinese country, and it is necessary to work together like all the Chinese leaders to develop rapidly, and the purpose of the founding of Nanhua is also to safeguard the interests of the Chinese in Nanyang.

Guo Yu's amiable words flowed into the hearts of these overseas travelers like a warm current, and the Nanyang Chinese knew their own hands, broad vision, and smart minds, and played a piece of their own in Nanyang.

Legal operation, reasonable competition, the Chinese are not afraid of those Nanyang natives, or even afraid of foreigners, but some unreasonable thresholds limit the development of Chinese in Nanyang, and even after many Chinese make a fortune, their family property is coveted, and finally the natives directly rush into their homes, rob property, kill their wives and children, and end up with a broken family.

Guo Yu continued: "In the future, Nanhua Kingdom will not only be my Guo Yu's home, but also the home of all Nanyang Chinese. (To be continued)
