On this cold winter day

After mobilization, the Fu Lin Men Hotel quickly moved into action, and the men hid their guns in the counter to prevent the enemy from raiding, and scattered a lot of ears and eyes to listen to the movement.

On the surface, it seems to be the same as usual, but in fact, it is completely shrouded in tension.

Chopping vegetables into their hands, hitting people with dishes, burning and burning on the pot endlessly, the first time they encountered such a dangerous situation, the hotel guys were inevitably panicked when they could, and they looked like they were barking.

When everyone was panicking, Hongmen's strict organizational system played a huge role, condensing the originally scattered Chinese into a rope.

From the master of the outer hall to the various small leaders below, they played the role of the backbone, relieved and comforted each other, cheered up the Hongmen brothers, spontaneously publicized the exploitation, abuse and atrocities of the white people against the Chinese workers, and boosted the fighting spirit of the Hongmen brothers.

Everyone is two legs, two arms and one head, we have thousands of brothers in Hongmen with our backs, why are we afraid of them?

Invisibly, it is also a practical drill for the Hongmen brothers who have experienced this for the first time.

Just when the wind and rain are raging outside

Red River Valley Ranch was in full swing with people familiar with each other to demonstrate its strength and seek a peaceful solution on the other, and contacted Governor Frank through the state director of immigration, Mr. Wexford, to set a time for an interview.

The headquarters of FLM Hotel

Li Fushou was wearing a light-colored silk shirt with fine folds, buttoned his sleeves with gold cufflinks, and strode out of the room.

"Master, your dress ......"

The female black slave Chrissy chased out with a custom-made high-end tuxedo in her hand, and Li Fushou stood in the center of the room, putting on the dress under Chrissy's service, and her leather shoes were shiny under her feet.

Chrissy carefully smoothed out every fold at the back of her tuxedo, then turned to the front to help adjust the subtleties of her dress.

Li Fushou is very tall, and as soon as he lowered his head, he saw that there was a deep furrow in Chrissy's split neckline, and his plump chest could not be suppressed, and a girlish fragrance hit him, making him a little dry.

"That...... I'll do it myself. ”

Obviously feeling the physiological reaction, Li Fushou turned around and arranged the bow on his collar in disguise, and commanded in a light tone;

"Let's see if the carriage is ready, today's meeting is very important, and you can't be late."

"Yes, my master."

Chrissy curtsy and turned away with a happy smile on her lips.

Hearing the footsteps of Chrissy trotting all the way away, like a cheerful little swallow, Li Fushou shook his head helplessly;

How could the careful thinking of the beautiful black slave be hidden from him, Chriss's neckline slit became larger, and she bathed every day like she had a habit of cleanliness, and put Suhexiang, myrrh, maple incense, tulips and olive oil in the bath water, so she always carried a refreshing body fragrance.

As the rancher's personal maid, there is no limit to what you can spend, and you can put a bouquet of tulips for two pennies in the bath water and use it every day.

Li Fushou has no intention of correcting these, he knows that as a female black slave in this era, his fate is destined to be tragic, and let Chriss's girlhood be happier!

Even if a free black person dares to stare at a white woman while walking on the street, he will immediately be beaten on the head and bleeding by the white man next to him with a cane, and may even be hanged from a tree on the side of the road.

In European cities, blacks were even treated as beast exhibits.

After the Civil War, the United States slowly recovered from licking its wounds in the ruins, and the black plantations in the South were freed, but they could not avoid the pervasive prejudice and discrimination......

This is an era full of extreme prejudice, an inevitable pain in the development of human civilization, and it is by no means something that can be changed by any individual force.

Li Fushou didn't have the courage to touch this sensitive nerve, the exiled overseas Chinese in this era were not much better than the whites, on the one hand, they were oppressed by the whites, but they could only endure the humiliation.

On the other hand, the Chinese people's serious patriarchal and inferiority ideology and the consciousness of the heavenly kingdom are deeply rooted, and the Southern Barbarians, Beidi, Dongyi, Xirong, and the outside are all barbarians, and the blacks are even inferior......

Don't look at Li Fushou's majesty now, but once there is something about the black slave with the woman, the horse will collapse, this is the limitation of the times.

Not to mention the white people's shameful laughter, even the Chinese basic market can no longer support this leading boss, and all the forces that have been worked hard to build will fall apart in the blink of an eye.

in the final analysis

The new Chinese forces, which have been condensed with the line of wealth and gangs, have risen too short and their background is too thin to withstand the invasion of wind and waves.

Li Fushou shook his head, cut off the thoughts that came to mind in an instant, picked up his cane and bowler hat and walked out of the room.

Today, he's going to have a good talk with Governor Frank.

Street tavern

This is a log-style tavern, with a heavy bar, tables and chairs all made of large pieces of Queensland's specialty camphor wood, which is very hard and contains a faint scent of camphor wood, and the meat cutting board used in Fu Linmen Hotel is made of this camphor wood.

Frank brought only one assistant, Aaron Johnson, and the two sat at a table in the back of the tavern, leisurely tasting the wines produced in the French estate.

Seeing Li Fushou and his entourage of more than 30 people coming to the door of the tavern with great fanfare, Governor Frank's brows furrowed significantly, revealing a look of disgust.

He didn't like it very much, especially on his own turf.

Li Fushou arranged it at the door and came in with 6 entourages, but he encountered unavoidable trouble.

The fat and tall tavern keeper Ted stood in the heavy camphor wood counter, silently raised the double-barreled shotgun in his hand, the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the visitor, and the only male waiter in the tavern also took out a revolver from his body, and pointed the muzzle at the visitor.

"Get out of here, you Orientals disguised as a gentleman, leave me now with this bunch of bugs behind you, or I wouldn't mind a bloody hole in your head."

"Don't move, Ted, think about your parents, wife and children, it will calm you down." Nan Huaiyu led his subordinates to block the counter, and his words were full of threats.

"Damn, how dare you threaten me in my tavern?"

"It's not a threat, I can guarantee you that if you dare to move a finger, even your Scottish retriever won't want to live, and it won't be long before you'll be able to see the thylacines feasting and think about the consequences with your pig brain."

Governor Frank sat steadily at the table, watching all this with interest, not the slightest interest in interfering.

Li Fushou didn't speak, but continued to walk in calmly, and the guards around him intentionally or unintentionally blocked the muzzle of the gun with their bodies to cover him.

The henchmen had all seen blood, the Colt revolvers on either side of their bodies were full of bullets, and their fingers were not within punch range.

If Ted had opened fire, he would have only had a chance to shoot, and then he would have been shot into a sieve.

This kind of little person didn't need Li Fushou to deal with it personally, he came to sit down opposite Frank, and Zhu Wei, who was following closely, actually took out a teapot and three tea bowls from the bag, poured the brewed tea into it, and then stood respectfully on the side.

An enticing aroma of tea immediately spreads, and the crimson tea soup is bright and transparent, like amber.

"Mr. Governor, you must not have tasted authentic Wuyishan black tea, this tea has a long aftertaste and is full of fragrance, you must try it."

"Li, it's not time for afternoon tea yet."

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of making a comment that the British added milk, mint and honey to black tea from Kolkata just to cover up the inferior black tea." Speaking of this, Li Fushou smiled proudly, picked up the small tea bowl in front of him and drank it all; "Only this kind of original and high-quality black tea does not need any disguise to show the original beauty of black tea."

"This is the tavern, Lee, don't break the original tranquility here."

"Mr. Governor, open your eyes and be realistic." Li Fushou had no interest in continuing to play dumb riddles, and directly opened the topic and said; "There are now nearly 40,000 Chinese gold diggers in Queensland, and a large number of Chinese workers are coming in every week, and 5,000 of them have naturalization certificates, and they have their own normal demands, they need to carry their beloved woman into church, get married, have children, hope to be treated fairly, have private property sacrosanct, and be able to walk the street with their heads held high, rather than being ridiculed by white people."

"Oh...... God, what did this bastard Wexford do? I should have sent him to Scotland Yard for a harsh trial, and then hanged on the side of the road, this damned Irishman. ”

Governor Frank became annoyed, and waved his fists as if he was being deceived, but his performance was so clumsy that he didn't really mean to hide it at all.

It was through this attitude of non-recognition that he was trying to establish his strong position in Queensland.

Say you can do it, you can do it, say you can't stab the sky, it's useless.

What about the Australian citizenship certificate?

The autonomous state government could simply not recognise it, or introduce new regulations to restrict the rights and interests of these Australians, so that they can be distinguished from whites and become de facto second-class citizens.

Hearing the words of the British, a smile bloomed at the corner of Li Fushou's mouth, and then expanded to his entire cheeks.

throughout the event

Li Fushou and the Commissioner of Immigration, Wexford, and the entire Queensland bureaucracy have benefited from unimaginable wealth, and the victims are 5,000 Chinese workers who have obtained naturalization certificates.

They gave almost everything they had, and even bet on the future to make up £40, and wiped it off with a word, isn't that child's play?

The British, who started as pirates, defeated the Spaniards, Portuguese, Dutch, and French successively, establishing the hegemony of the world's seas, and at the root of the law of the jungle.

They will only respect the strong, and will not pity the weak.

If it had been before, these 5,000 scattered Chinese would not have been able to compete with the majesty of the British Empire, and they could only watch their hard-earned money being swallowed up, and their hearts would have been like ashes.

At most, there will be small-scale protests, with a dozen people killed, and then it will disappear like a wave in the ocean.

Now it is completely different, more than 1/3 of the Chinese who have applied for naturalization certificates are members of the Hongmen Brotherhood, among which the main backbone of the Red River Valley ranch forces and the gunman group have all applied for naturalization certificates, and the group struggle has the backbone.

What does this mean?

Governor Frank may not understand and is still looking at this matter with outdated eyes, and Li Fushou will use facts to prove that the era of contempt for the Chinese and exploitation of the Chinese has passed.
