Chapter 15 Luzon Raiders Group Meeting of 5 People
After Wang Yong returned from Macau, he had a meeting with Meng Xiaohui and the four of them.
"I think after we crossed over from 1876 to 1874, we were in a bit of a hurry, without much thought, and as a result, we had more and more things to do. And what was our original goal? It is the founding of South America and the establishment of a republic with Chinese as the main body, and that is our ultimate goal. ”
Wang Yong first reflected.
"In the Han and Tang dynasties in 1876, we did not lack the initial foundation of science and technology that we must have, I not only have the two heads that you have brought over now a variety of more advanced mechanical and electrical equipment, construction machinery, machine tools, scientific repair instruments, marine survey equipment, etc., the future great scientist Nikola Tesla, from the perspective of the future must establish a Chinese state, hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers in South America are not enough, must go to the mainland area, a large number of immigrants, At least millions or even tens of millions of Qing Dynasty people went to South America, especially in South Asia to establish a Chinese state, to serve the great goal of a large number of immigrants to South America, don't you say? ”
Meng Xiaohui: "I think that's right, but I think there's still a lot of work to be done to achieve this goal, how to get Chinese immigrants to go to South America willingly?" We need an organization of faith to train a large number of like-minded young generations, who must have the enterprising spirit of fighting for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. ”
Wang Xiaofeng also said:
"That's right, these outstanding talents cultivated by the organization must be the pioneer and exemplary role of enduring hardships first, enjoying last, being strict with self-discipline and being willing to be a ladder, going up first when there are difficulties, and not afraid of sacrifice! Use this group of people to influence their families, their friends, their families, and many more people to join us in our great cause. ”
Chen Wenting:
"Then we will select a group of people from Liu Yongfu's black army, some of them will be trained as a teaching team to be responsible for security protection and combat tasks, and the other group of people will be trained into a task force to be responsible for administrative ideology and organizational construction, and the factory office will form an overseas Chinese Datong Industry and Commerce Association. By the way, we must take over the establishment of a school, recruit teachers, students, school workers, and guards in the name of the school, so that we can establish a reasonable and legal foothold on Luzon. ”
Chen Mengling: "Okay, in this way, let General Liu Yongfu be the principal, and Brother Wang Yongge be the executive vice president and captain of the Marine Escort Force, I will barely do organizational and administrative work, Meng Xiaohui, Chen Wenting, and Wang Xiaofeng will be teachers and technicians, and also be trade and business consultants!" ”
Wang Yong objected, but well, after the five people calculated the first table 4-1, there was no choice but to support the decision of this work.
After returning from the meeting, Wang Yong specially found General Liu Yongfu and talked freely for a day and a night.
Two months later, an advance team of 500 people from Luzon, with the assistance of Luzon businessman Li Hanrong, entered the northeastern Luzon port of Apari, next to the Cagayan River, the largest river in Luzon

Li Hanrong has a 3,000-acre sugarcane and rubber plantation plantation in Apari, as well as 5 grocery stores and 3 medium-sized ships of 600 tons. A 5,000-acre pasture and a small wharf by the sea, the geographical location is quite good. Li Hanrong also knew Liu Yongfu for a long time and was appointed as the president of the Nanyang Chinese Datong Industrial and Commercial Mutual Aid Association.
Historically, Lao Meiqi pointed out that the Philippines and East Asia were after 1890, but they all followed the British side. For example, in 1874, when Japan attempted to invade the island of Taiwan, Reagan Derui, the former consul of the United States in Xiamen, served as Japan's military adviser.
Not only that, the United States also cooperated with the actions of the French military in the future "Sino-French War". In fact, during the Opium War, Lao Mei also cooperated with the actions of the British army outside the battlefield.
Therefore, everyone believes that it is necessary to establish their own base in Luzon as soon as possible when the United States and Spain go to colonize Cuba, accumulate strength to control the overall situation in the Philippines, and preemptively gain independence from Spain.
The United States is in the midst of maneuvering with the great powers, sometimes tough and sometimes weak, and the great powers are also paying more and more attention to their opinions. The reason is simple
