Chapter 740: Banana Man
"Robber logic, robber logic!" Gavina shouted angrily: "The British rule over Singapore was obtained from Portugal, and it has nothing to do with the inexplicable sultanate and you Chinese, and the British government's rule over Singapore is legal and valid!" ”
"Did I say so much in vain?" Wang Feng's face suddenly sank: "According to your meaning, the property inherited from the robbers can be legalized?" If I rob your family and pass on your family's property to my son, will you not pursue it? ”
"This," Gavina immediately snapped.
Wang Feng said unrelentingly: "Citing the British practice in Australia, the first discovery can claim sovereignty, then China discovered Singapore more than a thousand years ago, and is more qualified than Britain and Portugal to claim the sovereignty of Singapore, but we didn't do it, we just managed Singapore before finding the legal successor of the Sultan of Malacca, which is already very benevolent and righteous, what qualifications do you have to accuse us of robber logic?" ”
The so-called legitimate successor of the Sultanate of Malacca, regardless of whether there is or not, even if there is, only people with a desire for profit will ask the Chinese government for Singapore, because the result can only be that the Chinese government will not recognize it, and even kill the person concerned, in this regard, the British are old-timers, and Gavinner also knows it, but he is still angry and said: "What if you can't find it?" Has your country been ruling Singapore in the name of escrow? ”
Li Hongzhang received Wang Feng's eyes and said: "The Chinese government has taken into account the possibility of the extinction of the Sultan of Malacca, so the search period is set at 50 years, and if there is no clue after 50 years, the ownership of Singapore will be decided according to the proportion of the population of various ethnic groups. ”
Gavenner's nose was almost crooked, but he was speechless, the key was that there were no guns or cannons. The waist pole is not hard!
Wang Feng's tone softened a little, and he added: "Mr. Gavenna, China has good reasons to govern Singapore, Singapore has been under Chinese administration since today, and I ask you to complete the handover with the Chinese government within three days and leave Singapore with LinkedIn personnel." I don't want this to affect the friendly relations between China and Britain, so please take us to the Governor's Palace. ”
'friendly, can you do it to Australia?' Can the British power in the Far East be expelled? Gavina cursed in his heart, but he also knew that these words had no effect except to vent his anger, so he had to hold back his anger and give the banana man representative behind him a look.
A couple of old guys stepped forward. Bow deeply: "Lin Yongfu, the master of Fujian Jiulong Hall, Zhang Sanchao, president of the Yongchun Association, Huang Min, president of the Singapore Shipping Association, Qiu Zhongbo, vice president, Chen Baocheng, president of the Chaozhou Association, and Liang Changtai, president of the Hakka Association, see Your Majesty. ”
'Banana man? Wang Feng frowned slightly, these people spoke smoothly in Chinese and English, dressed in a decent suit, their hair was oiled, and there was a comprador taste between their words and deeds, especially the pen strength of the suit. There was a lot of nervousness all over his body.
Unlike Westerners, who define a suit as a dress for social occasions, China does not prohibit the suit. However, under the guidance of Wang Feng intentionally or unintentionally, government departments and high-level white-collar workers do not wear suits, so who are wearing suits?
Suits are the uniforms of manual laborers in China, covering street cleaning, handy, manure pulling, and helpers. Heavy manual workers and peasants, such as Zhou Dali, a tractor driver and pig farmer who had received Hugo and others, were wearing a suit at that time, which was actually his work clothes, which he did not wear when he was resting.
Wang Feng belittled the suit in this subtle way. Raising the status of Chinese formal wear has not only gradually formed a convention among the people, but even foreigners who have lived in China for a long time, such as Baoling and Pa Xiali, are embarrassed to wear it, and wearing it is equivalent to surrendering their identity!
Looking at the banana man in front of him, Wang Feng's mind unconsciously appeared with the steel mill workers with their sleeves stacked high and the farmers wielding hoes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
These people were the leaders of the Chinese community, and they were semi-autonomous, and the British had to rely on them for effective management of the Chinese, so to speak, if the Singapore authorities did not intervene, their words would be the law among the Chinese in Singapore.
'What if you find a leader of the Chinese community?' From the moment these community leaders appeared, Wang Feng felt the unkind intention, but he still arched his hand with a smile on the surface: "Everyone get up, don't be polite." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After a period of eye contact, Lin Yongfu said: "When our Chinese community in Singapore learned of His Majesty's visit, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. ”
"Huh?" When the emperor goes somewhere, he should be coming, and Lin Yongfu said that he was coming, and he kept saying that he appreciated his face, what does it mean to appreciate his face? Is it polite, to give face, can the emperor be polite with you and give you face?
Wang Feng's eyes shrank suddenly, Lin Yongfu clearly put on a landlord's posture, and then looked at the other Chinese representatives, at least on the surface, they were all fearless, this was obviously sure that he would not dare to kill in Xingjiapo!
Wang Feng is not the only clear-eyed person, many generals of the Democratic Alliance Army are angry, and Boss Chen is full of self-blame.
However, Wang Feng did not show any dissatisfaction, and nodded coldly: "Then there is Lao Lin, please!" ”
"Your Majesty, please!" Lin Yongfu and the rest of the Chinese representatives hurriedly bowed down to make way.
Although they are losing Wang Feng's face, but in fact, the palms of their hands are also sweating, if Wang Feng turns his face on the spot, they have no way at all, and even more serious is to be directly cleaned, you know, the status of the club in Singapore is similar to the status of Lanfang Company in Borneo, they are all underworld gang organizations, and what is the nemesis of the underworld? It's the government, and if the government moves the real thing, the underworld will only have the life of being swept away.
The Democratic Alliance has always spared no effort in cracking down on the underworld, every time a city is broken, it will inevitably destroy the local underworld gangs, the most heinous criminals are shot on the spot, and the ordinary gangsters are forcibly conscripted into the army, Wang Feng never believes that the underworld and the white road are interdependent, what is the soil for the existence of the underworld? It is corruption, it is the government's desire for profit, bypassing the law and going to the gray area, and only in countries where the legal system is not perfect, can there be a situation where the underworld is rampant.
At least there will be no windows smashed, feces poured at the door of the house, houses being knocked down when people are not at home, and even being doused with gasoline in the middle of the night.
When society becomes more and more fair and transparent, the underworld will gradually disappear.
Although Wang Feng has no good impression of Japan, Japan's experience in dealing with the underworld is still meritorious, in recent years, Japan's underworld organizations have gradually come to the fore, and the proportion of legitimate industries is getting higher and higher, why? Because the soil for survival is disappearing.
Lin Yongfu and the others also know their own affairs, if Wang Feng is determined to deal with them, then even if they bear a great reputation afterwards, it has nothing to do with them.
However, the worst did not happen, Wang Feng may not be familiar with the situation, or he may be unwilling to turn his face with the local snake, and there is no sign of a seizure, which makes them secretly relieved and greatly encouraged.
The group walked towards the city, interspersed with polite words without nutrition, at this time, two young people dressed as men quietly walked around from the side, Wang Feng immediately gave Boss Chen a look, Boss Chen raised his voice intentionally, boasting about how majestic Chen Cun was back then, and soon attracted the attention of the surroundings.
Wang Feng took Li Hongzhang a few steps back, and took a densely written piece of paper from one of them.
The scraps of paper recorded the basic situation of the Chinese in Singapore, and the authorities in Singapore generally settled the Chinese according to their place of origin, such as Hokkien people were resettled in Telok Ayer and Amoy Street, Teochew people were resettled in the banks of the Sinkapur River, Hakka people were resettled in Cross Street, and Cantonese people were resettled in Chinatown.
The name Chinatown comes from the fact that there was no running water supply in Singapore at that time, and the Chinese could only use ox carts to carry the water from Anxiang Mountain to their households, so this area was gradually called Chinatown by the Chinese.
According to the statistics of the Singapore authorities before the first capture of the NLD Navy, the total population of Singapore was about 80,000, of which 62% were Chinese, 13.5% were Malays and 16% Indians, and 8.5% were Europeans.
After the massacre by the Democratic Alliance Army, the old Malays were killed, the new Malays did not dare to move, and the Indians, although they did not kill much, were all driven away, and there are only 50,000 Chinese and more than 6,000 foreigners left in Singapore at present.
Of course, most of them were mainly engaged in selling coolies, and a few upper-class figures were engaged in import and export trade, opium, casinos, pawns, and liquor, that is, the colonial authorities handed over to contractors mainly Chinese to contract the above four types of taxes, and some were Ganmi and pepper plantation owners, ship owners, rice merchants, and compradors of foreign companies.
Ganmi is endemic to Southeast Asia, no more than three meters in height, and the leaves can be boiled into paste, which is used in tanning, dyeing and chewing betel nut ingredients, also known as betel nut paste.
In addition, from a geographical point of view, the best people in Singapore are Fujianese, such as Lin Yongfu, the head of the Kowloon Hall, and Zhang Sanchao, the president of the Yongchun Association, Huang Min, the president of the Shipping Association, and Qiu Zhongbo, the vice president of the Shipping Association.
The second is the Chaozhou people and the Hakka people, who are mainly engaged in plantations, such as Chen Baocheng, president of the Chaozhou Association, and Liang Changtai, president of the Hakka Association, both have thousands of acres of plantations and employ a large number of laborers.
The worst mixed are Cantonese people, most of whom are engaged in artisans and handicrafts, while women are mainly engaged in the wind and dust industry, many of whom have been abducted or kidnapped, and the number of people is about 3,000, and life is worse than death. (To be continued.) )
