Chapter 145: The Chinese Family
In the long history, the history of the Chinese setting foot in Southeast Asia is longer and farther than that of the Europeans, from the Hanshu Geographical Chronicles, it is recorded that Wang Mang sent an envoy to the Huangzhi State, which is now India, and passed through Southeast Asia at that time.
The real Chinese set foot on the land of the southeast and settled there can be traced back to the end of the Tang Dynasty, when the real large-scale migration of the people outside the country, that is, during the Song Dynasty, because of the prosperity of maritime trade, the villagers along the southeast coast of China began to migrate.
Although the Chinese have set foot in Southeast Asia very early and have made a lot of contributions to the development and economic construction of the local area, we can see from the historical materials that the entire history of the Chinese in Southeast Asia is simply a history of blood and tears.
If the Jews wandering in the West are lambs in captivity in European countries, waiting to be fattened and slaughtered, then the Chinese in Southeast Asia are the Jews of the East, whether they are later Western colonizers or local natives, and the same is true of the policies pursued by the Chinese.
Even so, the Chinese rarely think about building a country of their own, but go along with it, which is also the biggest common disease of the Chinese, maybe in rare cases someone will take up arms to resist, but most of them are holding in their hearts, and after the other party vents, the matter will pass, and they will live like this, and it is often this mentality that encourages some local natives to not take the Chinese in their eyes at all. In the end, when it came to giving up his life, he didn't figure out what was going on.
Be kind to others, treat others well and get the kindness of others, this is what the Chinese believe, but if you talk to a group of barbarians, you will find death.
Regarding Blackwater's recent actions, the victory in the war, and the constant news of the Dutch hiring, the Chinese in Batavia did not feel that this had anything to do with them, and still held on to their own small lives.
Not even the weapons used by Blackwater showed the slightest hint of interest, unlike the Dutch and Portuguese.
In the Australian Embassy in Batavia, Bao Changshu, the general director of the Southeast ** newspaper area, and Zhang Wei, the ambassador, were sitting together to discuss the implementation of the Huaquan plan. The purpose of this plan is to unite the Chinese in Southeast Asia and establish one or more states under the control of the Chinese.
As a traverser, expanding the circle of survival of our nation is also one of the things that everyone is most willing to do, and many people have taken this as a responsibility of their own.
However, it is somewhat unrealistic to expand the Chinese sphere of existence and bring them all together to establish a region and country that is completely controlled by the Chinese.
According to the intelligence department's collection of various intelligence, the Chinese basically have no political demands for how much they can get, and even some wealthy businessmen have not thought about it.
But it doesn't matter if you haven't thought about it, you can help them think about it.
Zhang Wei has visited almost all the Chinese in Batavia City in the past few days, although he has not explained anything explicitly, but some kind of information has been revealed in and out of his words, and if they are not stupid, they should be able to understand.
"Zhang Wei, do you say that the Zhuo family will agree to come out and be the leader, after all, this matter is similar to a rebellion in Daming. Bao Changshu didn't believe that the Zhuo family would agree, don't look at the proximity of the Zhuo family to Australia, but this matter is related to the lives of the whole family. ”
"Well, in my opinion, it's hard to say, we have studied the information of the Zhuo family in detail, if you want to say that those with political ambitions belong to their family, the relationship between the old man and the Dutch is close, and after we came, they tried their best to help us, I think they shouldn't be without ambition."
As Zhang Wei said, the Zhuo family is politically ambitious, don't look at it as a merchant family, but the elders and heads of the family are not stupid, when the Australians forced the Netherlands to bow their heads so strongly, they decided that Australia's strength was definitely stronger than the Netherlands, and they immediately came over and hugged their thighs tightly.
This can be called no ambition, in cooperation with the Australians, the wealth of the Zhuo family has increased exponentially, and now they are really unwilling to leave Australia and return to the arms of the Dutch.
In the Zhuo family's mansion, the elders of the Zhuo family who could count the elders and the people who spoke were all gathered in the hall, and some of the younger juniors who were more valued were called to stand behind their respective elders.
"Today, I called all the elders and young people in the clan to discuss the major affairs of my Zhuo clan, and what you hear here today must not be leaked, otherwise it will inevitably bring disaster to me and other Zhuo clans."
Zhuo Wenxiong, the head of the Zhuo family, is also the current patriarch, and first of all, he gave a warning before saying anything, which shows that the stakes are very important at this time, and what can affect the safety of the Zhuo family is probably that everyone is guessing.
"My Zhuo clan has settled in Bacheng for a hundred years, and after the branches and leaves and the blessing of the ancestors, it can be said that the people are prosperous, if the word rich and noble can be barely counted, but if it is said that my Zhuo family is just a merchant family, it has not yet reached the trend of great wealth."
"The day before yesterday, the Australian ambassador to Bacheng, Lord Zhang secretly revealed in his words that he hoped that the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Plains could unite as a unit, and have a certain ability to protect themselves when necessary."
"Uncles, as well as brothers and brothers, the Australians mean that they hope that these descendants of Yan and Huang who are living abroad can unite as one and fight the enemy together, I am afraid that everyone has not forgotten the incident of Luzon Island decades ago, the original massacre of my Zhuo family also had no time to go to sea The clansmen died tragically, this Dutch and Spain went out of Europa together, and now it is just because they need our help, so they did not kill us, if it is in the future, it will be difficult to say."
In fact, there is still a hundred years before the Dutch began to massacre the Chinese, and the current Dutch can be said to be very friendly to the Chinese, but with the experience of Luzon, they still have certain scruples about the Dutch.
If there is no strong appearance of Australians, maybe the Zhuo family will not consider such a thing, now that there is Australia, it may be said, then the Australians don't say it, these lands are originally ownerless, the Dutch can take it, and our descendants of Yan and Huang can naturally take it.
What is in front of everyone now is to decide whether to come out and be the leader, and it is definitely indispensable to do a good job of benefits.
"Wenxiong, you tell me what people mean in Australia, if our Zhuo family becomes this leader, what benefits can we get in the future," the speaker is an elder within the Zhuo family, and the father of the current head of the family, Zhuo Wenxiong, is a brother, and he has to call each other the fourth uncle according to his seniority.
"Fourth uncle, Australia's meaning, if someone does this leader, they will get support in Australia, whether it is firearms or personnel, we will be funded, if we learn from that Australians in the future, I Zhuo family must be one of the talkers, nephew heard that Lord Zhang in Australia has been in frequent contact with the Huang family recently, and the Huang family seems to be quite interested in this."
The founding of the country, from a merchant family to one of the families dominated by the country, this is something that the children of the Zhuo family never dared to think of before, but now they hear it is so real. If it is really successful, these children of the Zhuo family will definitely be reused.
Although the Zhuo family was able to transform from a merchant family to a political family in one fell swoop, if it failed, it would also bring disaster.
The fourth uncle of the Zhuo family is the eldest among the elders, and at this time he fell into thinking: he is not too much of an old man to pursue power, but he must pay attention to the future of the Zhuo family.
After a long silence and contemplation, Fourth Uncle Zhuo made a decision, "I think I can give it a go, Wen Xiong can promise the Australian, after all, this Australian is the same ancestor as me, and different from the Dutch after all." ”
"In that case, Fumio replied to the Australian." Zhuo Wenxiong glanced at everyone, and saw that no one objected, and he was also a little excited in his heart.
