Chapter 664: Turmoil in the South Seas

Looking at Mo Bai, who had no memory of himself, McCann burst into tears.

Those unbearable memories of the past all come to mind:

At that time, on the Xinjin wharf, I saw that I could kill another broken army from outside the Ming Dynasty with one shot, and suddenly led the green leather soldiers to capture me, and it was you Mo Bai who sent me to the coal mine;

A few years later, I finally found an opportunity to fall on the thigh of the French in Japan, and as a result, I landed on Hiroshima and took me prisoner again, 11 of the 12 prisoners were cut down, and the commander-in-chief of the order was also you......

How many times has the old man woken up in a nightmare, and his mind is full of your shadow!

But don't you have any impression of the old man?

Ruthless!

It's so ruthless!

The old man should have scolded you to your face.

But for the sake of your strong soldiers and strong horses, and the face of His Majesty Zhu Fugui's confidant and favorite general, the old man will not care about you!

Hiding a thousand things in his heart, McCann sighed, and finally said: "General Mo Bai, the poor monk came to Luzon this time because he had a clever plan to offer ......."

British Malaya, the most important British colony in the Far East.

Compared with Hong Kong, which has no to defend, and the Shanghai Concession, which has voluntarily abandoned, Malaya's strategic depth and strategic value are undoubtedly much higher.

At present, the whole of Nanyang is mainly occupied by the five countries of Ming, France, Britain, the Netherlands, and Spain, as well as a so-called neutral state, Siam.

Among them, in the past few years, the Ming Dynasty has taken over Spain's basic territory in the South Seas by encroaching and annexing.

Due to the weakness of France and the absence of the Sino-French War, France did not yet fully control Laos, North Vietnam and other places, only southern Vietnam and Cambodia.

Theoretically, Vietnam was still a tributary state of the Qing Dynasty, if the Qing Dynasty still existed.

Of course, because the Qing government was really a waste, the French infiltration of North Vietnam was already extremely serious.

Its form is basically similar to the relationship between Great Britain - Egypt - Ottoman Turkey.

Nominally Egypt was an Ottoman territory with a high degree of autonomy, but in reality, Egypt had become a British colony little by little.

(See figure for the pattern of the South Seas)

But since Monk McCann took charge of Saigon, the infiltration of the Saigon colony into North Vietnam has been visibly reduced.

Four years ago, the signing of the "Ming-Saigon Treaty of Friendship and Commerce" stipulated that the French army and French missionaries in Saigon were not allowed to cross the 13th parallel.

This line is also known as the Cochin 13 line.

Because of this incident, McCann was regarded as a traitor and a villain by the French diaspora in Saigon.

The priests hated this 13th line very much.

Because 13 is the most wicked and filthy number in Catholicism, it is undoubtedly an act of Judas to use this number to limit oneself from spreading the gospel of the Lord to the ignorant yellow-skinned monkeys of the north.

However, McCann gained great prestige among Indian soldiers, and with the support of the army, McCann suppressed the opposition.

In addition, with the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, many colonial officers and soldiers rushed back to Europe to fight, and McCann took the opportunity to eliminate a wave of dissidents.

These stupid chickens know how to use a hammer.

I'm not French, what kind of France am I betraying?

As for the curses of the priests, McCann said that he had the blessings of the Three Qing Buddhas and Mazu Niangniang.

The various experiences in Daming, Japan, and Vietnam have made McCann realize that only by mixing with Daming and His Majesty Zhu Fugui can there be meat to eat.

What's more, half a year ago, when Saigon was first covered by the radio signals of "The Voice of the Ming Dynasty", McCann also bought a radio on the black market to listen to the radio.

When the sweet female voice said "Lonely night, lonely you, welcome to Lena Appointment" in the standard New York accent, McCann's whole body froze like a stone sculpture, motionless.

After a long time, two lines of hot tears slipped from the corners of his eyes.

At this point, McCann finally knows where he should retire for the rest of his life.

A person who decides to go to Fengdu for retirement, it will be difficult for you to stop him from betraying France.

This time, McCann secretly came to Manila in order to hand over a weighty letter of surrender to the Ming court in exchange for his pension.

As early as the Ming Dynasty, there were 100,000 Chinese in Nanyang.

After the Opium War, countless Chinese came to Nanyang.

Just like Zhu Fugui's master and servant back then, the "indentured workers", or piglets, who were sold all over the world, amounted to as many as 5 million.

And the vast majority of them came to Nanyang.

Simu, which is a city in British Malaya.

Here, 90% of the population is of Chinese descent, and it is known as Little Fujian.

However, today's small Fujian is already in ruins.

The city's chaotic but prosperous Chinese-style streets have been blown beyond recognition, wooden houses have been reduced to ashes, and the stone archways in front of the streets have been reduced to rubble.

The British officers rode tall horses, and with the assistance of a group of horses to patrol and arrest, they tied up the Chinese one by one with ropes and strung them together.

The Chinese Language Association, which originally taught Mandarin, is already rubble.

On the ruins of the school, more than thirty crosses were erected.

The villagers who were tied hand and foot saw the men, women and children tied to the cross, and they were all saddened.

This is Chen Anmin's family of Master Chen.

Mr. Tan is not only a wealthy businessman in Siwu, but also the king of the sugar industry in Sarawak.

Different from the colonizers' ingenuity and plundering, Mr. Chen Anmin started from a coolie in a sugarcane plantation, relying on his hard-working hands, flexible mind, and hard-working quality, little by little, it took more than 20 years to establish his own sugarcane plantation and sugar factory belonging to the Chinese.

The quality of Chen Kee Sugar Shop Sugar can compete with the sugar of foreigners, and it has an outstanding reputation.

In the Chinese circle in British Malaya, Mr. Chen is famous.

And this name is not a bad name, but a good name.

Although there are some inevitable clan and township party elements, but generally speaking, Mr. Chen is kind and generous, helping the Chinese, helping the township, and repairing bridges and roads.

However, just today, this old man was arrested by the British and Malaysian authorities for no reason.

His sugar mill and plantation were vandalized, machinery was removed, and workers were interned.

Even, even the Chinese language school, which Mr. Chen had built with the most heartfelt heart and invested a lot of money to preserve the roots of the Chinese nation, was blown up by the British with cannons, and the 36 members of Mr. Chen's family were tied up here.

Looking at the rubble all over the ground, Chen Anmin's eyes were full of pity, but there was not much sadness.

Several Malay puppet soldiers whipped him to the flesh, but he actually laughed.

The British officer, who was standing under the banana leaves to avoid the scorching sun, snorted, and a guy with oily hair and a small comb ran forward.

He smiled and asked, "Master Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you remember me?" โ€

"Is that you? Luo San? โ€

Chen Anmin, who had been smiling, didn't smile when he saw the visitor, but looked disgusted, "You took refuge in a foreigner?" โ€

"Look at what you're saying!"

Luo San took out a fan and fanned the wind, and said triumphantly, "What do you mean by taking refuge in foreigners!" I'm doing things for Her Majesty the Queen of England! Moreover, I am not called Luo San now, I am called John Luo!

You old thing, tell you the truth! You colluded with foreign countries, colluded with the Ming people, and secretly purchased gold for Emperor Zhu Fuguigou in Nanyang!

That's right, I reported it to Governor Smalling!

Lin Bei, you make so much money, Lao Tzu took ten taels of silver from you, and you were expelled from the Chen Mansion, you did the first year of junior high school, don't blame me for being fifteen! โ€

"Hmph, I was blind at the beginning, and I didn't see that you were such a scholar who forgot his ancestors!"

Chen Anmin scolded angrily, but in an instant, he laughed again.

John Luo said angrily: "Old thing, what are you laughing at!" โ€

"Hahaha!"

Chen Anmin laughed, his gray beard stained with blood, trembling up and down, "It's you who I'm laughing at!" Dewu has been a traitor to foreigners for eleven years, and I have never seen such a stupid brute! โ€
