Akashi County Ling's reputation is not high, but he is just a talent from the most basic level of the science field. He comes from a farmer's household, and he is not good at rhetoric, otherwise he would not have been thrown to Akashi. There is no literary brilliance between the words, but the words fall into the hearts of the people.

"Lord Yu, don't grind, do whatever you say, we listen to you. This tattered river ditch has caused us a scourge this spring, and we know it. A Han village chief said.

There are only a few villages of independent ethnic groups in the entire Akashi Prefecture, and most of them are multi-ethnic. Just like when Yu Baoguo was speaking just now, there were county officials shouting loudly in Kazakh, Japanese, Uzbek, and Xinjiang indigenous languages.

For these new frontier lands, not to mention the implementation of simplified Chinese characters, many people can't even speak Chinese. The 'change of customs' here is more troublesome.

Yu Baoguo didn't talk to this disrespectful village chief. Although this village chief has no rank or rank, he is a retired soldier. Maybe there are old ones in the army that they can't afford to provoke. The village chiefs of the border provinces are also militia captains. These village officials are the front-line commanders of the most basic armed forces in Akashi Prefecture.

"Yes, the court said that we will do whatever we want. The imperial court will never come up with money and food to make the people work in vain. ”

"Lord Yu's words are powerful. This work is for us to do by ourselves, if anyone doesn't work, my old king and him are not finished! ”

"Who dares not to work?! I'm not afraid of recruiting people to poke my backbone in the future......" Another half-hundred-year-old man opened his mouth. Yu Baoguo's face was full of smiles. With these old people talking, the Han people will have no problem. The Han people are fine, the whole is fine.

"Lord Prefectural Order. It was His Majesty the Merciful Emperor who divided the fields among the small people and gave them farm tools to each family. Grain, livestock. Good seeds, cloth, everything you need for life. The Yoshida family is extremely grateful for the kindness of His Majesty the Supreme Emperor.

In the past years in Dongying, the Yoshida family worked hard for a year, and they had no meal at the end of the year. Today with Akashi, thanks to the kindness and kindness of His Majesty the Emperor, the five members of the Yoshida family finally tasted the taste of full food, and His Majesty the Emperor poured all his kindness into the repayment.

Eighty-six acres of land. Two horses, one cow and five sheep, with constant production. Recalling the past years, there was no place for the family to stand, and the kindness of the sky and the earth was thick.

All five men, women, and children of the Yoshida family went up to the embankment, not asking for a penny or food, but only asking for their own family's meager efforts to repay the kindness and kindness of His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Yu Baoguo looked at the He clan in front of him, who was also half a hundred years old, and the He clan with tears on his face, felt in his heart that the rumors that the He clan loved to exaggerate and be excited were really true. But at the same time, I was also very affected by the feeling of naturalizing a foreigner. The old man Yoshida in front of him was still speaking very clearly, but the firmness in his words really made Yu Baoguo's heart burn. The emperor's goodness was not in vain for outsiders. After all, we know how to be grateful.

"The county commander can rest assured that the five three villages are five. Whoever dares to make a contribution here, dares to slander His Majesty the Emperor and the imperial court, Yoshida May will behead him with a knife, and then disembowelment in front of the county commander. ”

"This kind of person has a great bad conscience. Kill—"

"Kill—"

More than a dozen people from the He clan rushed to the front of the crowd, shouting for loyalty to Yu Baoguo while sweeping the people behind them with vicious eyes.

"That's right! All go. Go! Who doesn't go and smash his dog's head first! "The Han people are boiling. Yu Baoguo also ignored the intention of the people of He, which was a little 'fox and fake tiger'. His eyes saw it when the people of the He clan glanced at the natives with their fierce eyes. There were many people in the latter crowd who looked at each other angrily and expressed their displeasure. Compared with the suppression of these natives, they are loyal dogs to the clansmen.

Akashi Prefecture is just a microcosm. At this time, in Anxi and Beiting provinces, all villages, townships, towns, and cities were such energetic scenes. The eyes of the common people are bright, and what is really good for them does not need to be mobilized, they will rush to do it themselves.

Unlike the fiery enthusiasm of the provincial capital on the border of western Xinjiang, the Nanyang region was full of rumors at this time.

Because of Kapitan, Kuala Lumpur, Ya Lai, who was just fifty-five years old, died. This age is very young, so there are rumors that Ye Yalai died unnaturally. Even though the British colonial government paid a very solemn tribute to Yalai's death, the government closed its office and flew its flag at half-mast in mourning. On the day of the funeral, all the ministries of the government office stopped working to mourn, and all the senior officials participated in the funeral procession, and the residents all expressed their regrets, and Luo Ye, the chief of political affairs, delivered a eulogy and spoke highly of Ye Yalai, which said: "Because of the death of Jiabidan Ye Yalai, the government has lost one of its most loyal officials, and I have lost a good friend I admire." But that doesn't take away all the bad side of Yalai's death. At the same time, both China and the UK have shown great interest in the future control of Kuala Lumpur.

Trapped in the local Chinese group, the British colonial government and colonial army did not dare to force their coming. They then dispatched the Far East Fleet, which was stationed in Singapore, to blockade the Strait of Malacca! Chinese merchant ships have frequently found fault with them, and even directly detained them. It intends to use this as capital to force the Chinese side to back down.

This is a very normal calculation. Although the British Far East Fleet was no more powerful than the Chinese South Sea Fleet in terms of individual combat power, the Andaman Islands were also home to the British East India Fleet.

However, Vice Admiral Phillips, commander of the British Far East Fleet, was now in an extremely irritable mood, and yesterday at noon he received news from Penang Harbour that a Chinese torpedo boat had stayed off Penang for an hour and then sailed due north to the Karimata Strait. The Dutch sent out the speedboat tail fray, and the Chinese torpedo boat was indeed heading north.

The British reported in Pontianak that no new torpedo boats were found in the port of Pontianak.

The British Governor of the Straits Settlements ordered Phillips to capture the small torpedo boat - a provocation to the dignity of the British Empire. If you don't crack down hard, you will only make the Chinese look down on the British Empire. So Phillips and his warships began to get busy, and the search continued all night kept him awake until dawn, and the exhausted fleet had searched the surrounding seas to the bottom, not to mention the torpedo boats, not even the small sampan fishing boats, which could not find a single mistake.

Phillips felt embarrassed, but he really felt that His Excellency the Governor's order was not wrong - that during the Kuala Lumpur controversy, there really should be no negligence. Any provocation by the Chinese must be severely suppressed!

Moreover, he was a newcomer who had just taken up his post in the first half of the year, replacing Vice Admiral Charlie as commander of the Far East Fleet, and such a mistake in judgment was a big setback for him to establish his prestige in the fleet. But at the same time it also aroused his strong curiosity, where did the Chinese torpedo boats go? Will they be able to obtain a precise location of the Far Eastern Fleet? Phillips was puzzled by this.

When the instructions from Whitehall arrived through the Vice-Chancellor of the Straits Settlements in Singapore, Phillips quickly ordered the entire Far East Fleet to form a battle formation and pass through the Karimata Strait and go straight to Pontianak!

He was now ordered to blockade Pontianak, the Chinese's largest port in the South Seas.

At the same time, Singapore's Acting Vice-Chancellor William. Edward. Governor Maxwell also publicly made a 'reminder' in the Singapore newspapers:

"The warships of the British Empire have always been the eternal spear in the defense of the interests of the British Empire. Any 'enemy' who intends and has violated the interests of the British Empire will be shot by the Eternal Spear. Powdered in front of the mighty navy of the British Empire! ”

- The Eternal Spear, a legendary artifact in Norse mythology, and a silver spear in the hands of Odin, the main god of the Norse gods. Legend has it that as long as this gun is thrown, no one on the side will be spared, and they will be pierced through the body and die under the muzzle. And after shooting the enemy, the gun will miraculously return to the hands of its owner, Odin.

William. Edward. Maxwell's two sentences were naturally intimidating, although he knew that his words would not work very well in the context of the game between the two countries. The Vice-Chancellor of the Straits Settlements is a very heavy position, if it is for Siam, before Vietnam, Japan, William. Edward. Maxwell's identity is sufficient. But now he is facing a powerful China!

Although these words fully demonstrated the pride and self-confidence of the British Empire as the hegemon of the world. But in William. Edward. In Maxwell's view, the probability that his words will not be seen by the Chinese is far greater than the probability of really intimidating the Chinese. So he needed Vice Admiral Phillips to show the strength of the Far Eastern Fleet. He wanted to show China that the Far East Fleet, the weakest squadron of the British Imperial Navy, was no weaker than the main force of their navy.

What is the world hegemon and why the British Empire dominates the earth, this is capital! This is the invincible maritime supremacy of the British Empire.

This is a kind of arrogance that is not blind. China's navy, which has not developed greatly in recent years, is really no match for the British. Even in South Africa, China and Britain are now allies. But South Africa is South Africa, and South Seas is South Seas. On the sea, the British Empire is completely self-respecting, Lao Tzu's first tsundere in the world.

China has built four armored cruisers in a row for two years, and while the British Empire is worried, it is trying to show China a proud posture without pressure.

With colonies spread across five continents, the British name of the "empire on which the sun never sets" is not false, and its vast maritime power surpasses that of the rest of the world.

1. Atlantic Fleet, 2. Mediterranean Fleet, 3. South African Fleet, 4. East African Fleet, 5. Cape Fleet, 6. East India Fleet, 7. West India Fleet, 8. North American Fleet, 9. Pacific Fleet, 10. Far Eastern Fleet.

The formation of each fleet was not a casual one, and these evolved gradually from the eighteenth century. The size of its troops and the number of warships are also determined by the world environment, and are not customized. These are the fundamentals of Liu Xianam's constant restraint against Britain over the years! (To be continued......)
