Chapter 344: Volcanic Eruption
"Oh...... It was a dream, but I thought it was an earthquake! ”
Zhu Fugui wiped the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead, but saw a spherical object fall to his knees.
"The old slave disturbed the long live lord's lunch break, and the old slave deserves death!"
Zhu Fugui fixed his eyes and saw that there was an avalanche or an earthquake, and it was clearly the old eunuch Li who ran in with a telegram.
Zhu Fugui didn't blame him.
After all, people who are almost fifty years old, in addition to the indicators on the test sheet, they don't know how many years they can accompany themselves.
For Lao Li, it's better to be better!
Zhu Fugui took the telegram and read it.
It must be a very important thing to let Lao Li run in during his own Japanese massage time.
"It's a telegram from the Wajima Prefecture again?"
Zhu Fugui frowned.
It was right to let that Xi Yaya ask for instructions early and report late, but he didn't let him have five electricity a day, even at noon.
The matter of the last movie was only a small reprimand, and Xi Yaya sent a telegram to the Fugui Palace very diligently after that.
Even organizing an essay contest for elementary school students across Japan to write an essay contest for watching a movie, and the final top three selection of such a small matter had to be finalized by Zhu Fugui, the long-lived master.
Are you annoying?
Those elementary school students' OOXX, who has the time to read.
So this time, Zhu Fugui saw that it was Xi Yaya's telegram, and he didn't have anything good to say in his heart.
However, when Zhu Fugui carefully saw the content of the telegram behind him, his face suddenly became solemn.
This time, Xi Ya is not playing with snakes.
This is a big deal indeed.
After eight months of brief comfort, the three armies of the Ming Dynasty may have a new enemy.
And this time, the enemy is not only the shameless and cruel Western colonizers, but also the terrible natural disasters and the barbaric and impudent indigenous ......
"On August 6 of the fourth year of Daming Dewu, between Java Island and Sumatra Island in the South Sea, fireworks soared into the sky, and its sound was like thunder, day and night, and the sound was heard for 150 or 60 miles......"
Just ten days ago, Krakatoa, known as the most dangerous volcano in the world, erupted again.
In this day and age, places like Java are undoubtedly the most marginal corners of the world and are not taken seriously.
So much so that when Zhu Fugui was looking through historical materials, he didn't notice the occurrence of this disaster at all.
The Imperial Protectorate of Wajima had just received news from Nanyang, so he hurriedly reported it to Fengdu.
Zhu Fugui rubbed his forehead, a little depressed.
What a goddamn volcano erupting at this wrong time!
To tell the truth, Zhu Fugui really doesn't have the energy to meddle in Nanyang affairs now, he would rather go to South America to do things than do things in Nanyang at this time.
It is not unreasonable for the "Immigration Studies" to refer to Malacca as the "Shanhaiguan" of Daiming (referring to the United States).
Malacca's location on the world's busiest and most profitable shipping lanes is vital for any global power.
Zhu Fugui has no doubt that as long as he dares to move the South Seas, not only the British, but also the French, Spaniards, and Dutch will definitely declare war on the Ming Dynasty immediately, and it will be the kind of Crimean-style war of the country.
Spain and the Netherlands are indeed a mixed number, and the French can also discuss it, but today's Victorian England, which is at its peak and has the largest territory in human history, is indeed not an opponent with whom it can easily go to war.
At least at least, the battlefield must not be chosen in a ghost place like Nanyang.
Now the national strength and population of the Ming Dynasty are not enough to support sending hundreds of thousands of troops to Nanyang to fight and die.
Zhu Fugui fully understood this, so for a long time, Daming tried his best to hide his coveting of Nanyang in the world, and only mentioned it in domestic education.
In this era, due to the inefficiency of information communication means and the deep cultural and linguistic barriers, it is nothing to completely distinguish between internal propaganda and external propaganda.
As early as when Yuyin broadcast "Eight Hatreds", Zhu Fugui listed a crime of Europa people killing our Nanyang Huaguo.
Before the 19th century, the Chinese had established at least eight states in Nanyang, all of which were eventually destroyed by the Western powers.
Of course, among the founders of these countries, there were some traitorous pirates, and even those who openly rebelled against the Ming court.
For example, after the rebel Zhang Lian in the Jiajing period was exterminated by Yu Dayou, he went into exile overseas, traveled south, seized Sriwijaya Island (now Sumatra), established himself as the king, occupied the old port, Johor, Malacca and other places, and reigned for 40 years.
However, these black histories, Daming naturally will not mention.
Moreover, although the people rebelled, Jun also regarded them as innocent, Chongzhen could have the consciousness, and Zhu Fugui could certainly have it.
The Chinese rebellion against the Ming Dynasty is a family affair of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not the turn of the red-haired ghost to destroy his country.
In short, in the official history of the Ming Dynasty, Nanyang has been the backyard of my Ming Dynasty since ancient times, and foreigners are not allowed to sleep soundly.
It is only a matter of time before the plough court sweeps the holes and Jingping the sea frontier.
But not now.
For a long time, the Ming Dynasty absorbed immigrants on a large scale, except for the first batch of Guangdong and Fujianese, in fact, most of them were refugees from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Henan, Shandong and other places recruited from the Huai Army territory in Shanghai.
On the one hand, this is because these places are now making trouble, there are more displaced people, it is easier to recruit, and Li Hongzhang and them are also easier to operate.
On the other hand, it is because Zhu Fugui does not want to compete with Nanyang for population, let alone transfer Chinese from Nanyang to the Americas.
Nowadays, this era is another peak for the Fujian people of Liangguang and Guangxi to go to Nanyang.
At present, according to relevant data, the number of Chinese in Nanyang is about three or four million, and in a few decades, this number will quickly increase to 10 million.
Although it is said that these Nanyang Chinese are uneven, they still can't escape the fate of the two-legged sheep, but isn't there still Daming behind them in these years?
And even in later generations, the Malaysian Chinese among the Nanyang Chinese are quite fond of China and firmly believe that blood is thicker than water.
It is not an exaggeration to say that MCA is the best Chinese in the world.
Except for them, even if there are some Chinese in the end, well, Zhu Fugui swears that he didn't order the Li who forced Nanyang Polytechnic to teach all English, and became a banana man, but now such a thing has not happened after all.
Even if it is a certain person, there were moments of progress when he was young, and he is not hopeless.
The Nanyang Chinese have been slaughtered repeatedly for hundreds of years.
Now, in the face of a catastrophe, millions of Chinese will inevitably become the targets of plunder for the colonial authorities and natives to vent their grievances.
This kind of thing, Wanli and Zheng Ming could only write letters to condemn it, and Qianlong didn't bother to care about it.
Now the Manchu government, which is too busy to take care of itself, can not be counted on.
Looking at the world, the savior of the Chinese people is except me who is the Ming Dynasty in the Americas, who else is me?
Although it is not possible to intervene in Nanyang affairs under the slogan of recovering Nanyang, it is still necessary for the Ming Dynasty to protect overseas Chinese and safeguard the lives and safety of local Chinese.
This matter is related to the natural legitimacy of the destiny of the Great Tomorrow, and also related to the cohesion of the eventual formation of the East Asian Co-prosperity Sphere.
How to make people feel attached without touching the bottom line of Victoria's old wife is indeed a troublesome thing.
Thinking more was also useless, Zhu Fugui got up and went to the office and pressed the button on the desk.
Hirobumi Ito ran over with his short legs.
As a Huangmen order, he needs to be on call 24 hours a day to do all kinds of chores for Zhu Fugui.
"You go and check, the transformation drawings of the medical ship that was painted with 'exotic mountains and rivers, wind and moon in the same sky' are still there."
"In addition, immediately notify the six Shangshu, the squire, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the generals of the army and navy at the rank of lieutenant colonel and above to come to the conference room of the Grand Marshal's Mansion for a meeting."
