In the next two days, Wang Guorui's Nanyang Military Region officially landed in the Liaona Islands, and the Nanyang Military Region officially has a piece of land, and it is no longer just a military region floating on the sea as in the past. And this Riau Islands will become a base for rest and supply for the troops to be sent to the rear next, and then this will be a springboard for attacking the South Seas region. And the Marines also occupied the entire Riau Islands in two days. And the Dutch soldiers in the Riau Islands are only a regiment, and even the establishment is not complete, about a thousand people in the future. They surrendered immediately after the Marine Division landed, and then let them go into a prisoner of war camp.

As for the natives on the Riau Islands, Wang Guorui has not yet had the idea of dealing with them, after all, he still has to fight against the Dutch now, and it is not suitable to make extraneous branches. As for the exploitation of these natives, it will not be prepared until after this war is over, and as for now, we still have to try to make them not enemies of themselves. And those natives are not destroying their organizational structure for the time being, so that they can live on their own. As long as they do not come to find bad luck in the Taiwan army, then the Taiwan army will not take the initiative to look for bad luck in them.

"Husband, the Chinese representative here wants to see you, do you want to meet you?" Kang Tongwei said.

Wang Guorui thought for a moment, and then said, "Let them come!" ”

Soon, some older Chinese entered, and they were the leaders of the Nanyang Chinese in the Riau Islands. And now they have come to Wang Guorui as representatives, wanting to meet Wang Guorui, the governor of Taiwan and minister of Nanyang, and the protector of Nanyang.

"I've seen Lord Wang!" The leaders said.

"Get up, are you the representative of this Chinese in the Riau Islands?" Wang Guorui asked.

Immediately, an old man about fifty years old replied: "Lord Wang, there are about 5,000 Chinese in the Liaonei Islands here, and they belong to five families, namely the Liu family, the Zhu family, the Chen family, the Niu family, and the Yang family. And the five of us are the patriarchs of the five major families, and I am Liu Zhao, the patriarch of the Liu family. ”

Like this kind of overseas Chinese. Generally, it is also linked by the surname and bloodline, and then gathered into a big family. So now there are five major families here, but these five families are not absolutely all the five surnames, but it just means that the people with these five surnames are the dominant organization.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all representatives of our Chinese people in Nanyang, and we are now in charge of the Celestial Dynasty. Those indigenous peoples continue to oppress our Chinese people. The courts of all dynasties don't care, then I'll take care of it. We in Taiwan must shoulder the responsibility of safeguarding the interests of our overseas Chinese, and we in Taiwan will become an organization that safeguards the safety of the lives and property of our overseas Chinese, and if anyone dares to bully our overseas Chinese, then we in Taiwan will absolutely not spare him. And in the past hundreds of years, these natives have been jealous of the wealth created by our Chinese, and they, a group of unearned guys, have actually survived by robbing and bullying us Chinese. Now we will definitely not let them go lightly. So we're in charge of you! Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui came here, of course, to grab the territory. But grabbing land is one thing, but it's another thing to publicize and make excuses. Both Chinese and Westerners are very hypocritical. Especially those who face countries with similar strength to themselves, of course, they must also have excuses, and they must find a just excuse for their actions. If there is no justifiable excuse, I am afraid that it will be besieged. Therefore, Wang Guorui came to grab the land, so naturally he can't clearly say that he is here to grab the land. It can only be said that it is here to safeguard the interests of overseas Chinese. In any case, it is reasonable and legal to protect the interests of foreign nationals in various countries. So Wang Guorui's excuse is very normal, and no one else can say anything.

"Lord Wang, we are doing well in Nanyang, and we don't need to maintain it at home." Liu Zhao said.

Wang Guorui immediately asked: "You are doing well, so how did we hear that you are often robbed of your wealth by the natives?" ”

"Well, since we're cultivating here. Naturally, some will be given to the locals! Liu Zhao said.

", how can we give the wealth we create to others? Also, those natives are not only robbing of wealth, they are still going to commit violence against your women. Can you say yes? Wang Guorui asked.

And Liu Zhao finally said: "Lord Wang, I won't hide it from you." These indigenous populations are many times larger than ours, and they are going to besiege us, and we are no opponents! What's more, they are all backed by foreigners, and we are not opponents. ”

"So what do you mean? Do you know that you are not an opponent, then give up your resistance, and let them rob you of your wealth and commit violence against your wives and daughters? Where did you go? Wang Guorui said angrily.

Wang Guorui is really speechless for these overseas Chinese, once they go abroad, they choose to tolerate bullying, and then let others rob their wealth. Of course, if they go to the Western world, it doesn't hurt to endure those big powers, but they came to this South Sea, and most of those natives will not be opponents. Those natives can't be the opponents of the Chinese at all, the Chinese have civilization and can make all kinds of weapons, so they have a lot of advantages over the natives! However, the Chinese still chose to give up resistance and tolerated them. This makes those natives more and more arrogant, so that they become more and more emboldened.

And when many people in China ask them why they don't resist, they will actually say that peace is precious. But other people's knives are on their necks, so how can peace be precious? If someone else wants to rob your wealth and bully your woman, then you still value peace, so Wang Guorui really has nothing to say about these overseas Chinese.

"Since you don't dare to resist, then we will call the shots for you in the country, I don't ask you to eat pot pulp to welcome the king, but at least don't make trouble for me, okay? If you are willing to be bullied by those natives, then we will naturally export our evil anger for the Chinese. Wang Guorui said.

"But my lord, if you come, then those natives and foreigners will retaliate more strictly! Originally, we could still survive, but if you came, then I'm afraid those natives would really not give us a way out! Liu Zhao cried.

Wang Guorui really understands that these Nanyang Chinese are still afraid that they are coming, and then those natives are even more cruel to themselves. Originally, they could barely survive, but if Wang Guorui and them came, then I am afraid that they would really be brutalized to death by the natives. At that time, they were dead and had no place to bury. This kind of thinking is similar to those anti-Japanese periods in later generations, when the Japanese hoped to break the will of the Chinese to resist by massacres. And those who have a part of the short-sightedness, they saw the Japanese massacre, they thought that they could be a submissive under the Japanese, and then they hated those who resisted the Japanese. Because they think that if they don't resist the Japanese, then they can barely survive, and if they resist the Japanese, then those of them who want to be obedient people will not be able to survive.

And this is what these Nanyang Chinese think, they think that if the Chinese army comes here, then they may be able to barely survive, but now they will be slaughtered by those natives. In this way, they are definitely not worth it, so they don't want Wang Guorui's Taiwanese army to come over.

"Hmph, do you think we can't even beat those natives?" Wang Guorui asked.

Liu Zhao immediately said: "It's not that we're afraid that adults won't be able to beat the natives, but those natives have foreigners behind them!" Those foreigners, but they are very powerful, they have even defeated the imperial court, let alone ......"

Liu Zhao's meaning is very obvious, that is, the foreigners have even defeated the Manchu court, can't they beat a "small" Taiwan? And they subconsciously think that Taiwan is a part of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and even the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty can't defeat the foreigners, so naturally Taiwan can't beat it.

Even, these Nanyang Chinese know too little about Western countries, and they don't know the specific strength of Western countries. They subconsciously thought that all the countries of the West were very powerful, and that every country could easily defeat the Manchus, let alone Taiwan. As for Wang Guorui, they also felt speechless, these Nanyang Chinese really equated Taiwan with the Manchus, so they really thought that Taiwan could not beat the Dutch. In fact, the comprehensive strength of the Dutch is worse than that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, after all, the Dutch have long since declined, and they just have a glorious history. And they are not even as good as China, and it is not a time in the history of China that has not been decayed, and there have even been times when they were conquered by nomads. But China will never give up the idea of re-emergence, and even when China lags behind, there will be a large number of people who will catch up and work hard for the country's strength.

As for the Western countries, they are rarely able to think like this. Although they may be able to be strong for a while, once they fall, they will completely decline, and there is almost no hope of rising. And it is absolutely no accident that China has been defeated again and again, and then has risen again and again to become one of the few great powers in the world. Although those foreigners can become the world's top powers in a short period of time, their national willpower is much worse, and once they decline, they are almost all indulged in the glory of the past, and there is no possibility of revival. However, these Nanyang Chinese did not know this very well, and they still thought that the Dutch were still so powerful. And they all think that China is weak and cannot be reinvigorated.
