Chapter 18: The True Leaders of the Nanyang Chinese

Revolution in Military!

A revolution in military affairs led by the Orientals!

Macartney looked dumbfounded.

The whole body is almost stiff.

It was hard to even breathe.

He knows.

Witness history yourself!

The naval superiority that the Europeans had built up since the Age of Discovery was gone.

The era of cannon giants is over.

The ocean of the future belongs to a small fast schooner combined with a wooden support tail stabilized pointed projectile, and the mysterious high-reliability high-explosive in the hands of Zhu Daohua!

Macartney quietly leaned against the side of the ship to observe the artillery positions of the Ming army while the two sides were fighting.

He couldn't see anything, but he was sure.

The explosive in Zhu Daohua's hand that is more powerful than the explosion of black powder is definitely much safer than black powder!

Because at this time, in this era when black powder is the main explosive, how to use black powder safely is something that the navies of all countries in the world must consider.

Flowering bombs have been available for a long time.

But why aren't there many people who put flowering shells on battleships?

Because it's so unsafe.

Expensive battleships are not consumables.

But nowadays.

Now these expensive battleships are not even consumables - in the face of the naval tactics shown by Zhu Daohua, the huge battleships are live targets at sea.

Macartney's scalp tingled, staring at the shattered battleships ahead.

These were instruments of war that symbolized the rule of the Dutch in Southeast Asia.

In this way, the ships were torn apart by shells.

The sailors of the Dutch could only be before the complete sinking of the battleship.

Escape in a lifeboat.

Seeing this scene, Bourblon was also extremely shocked.

"The Dutch are finished..."

"Who's going to be next?"

Bourblon looked at the tall King Ming in front of him.

The greatest doctor of the eighteenth century, one of the greatest scientists.

Maybe....

It will also be the greatest emperor of the East in the next century.

An Oriental Emperor!

"To return him to the East is perhaps the greatest mistake that Europeans have made in this century."

Bourblon thought.

He looked next to him at what appeared to be a wooden sculpture of Macartney.

But my heart was suddenly relieved.

"Before that, maybe the British maritime supremacy will end first..."

Come to think of it.

Burblon suddenly felt much better.

........

Liu Qianxing and his son looked at the Dutch warship that was on fire two or three hundred meters away, and felt cold.

Liu Qianxing, whose scalp was numb, suddenly remembered something.

"Flag!! Fast! Fast! Tear down the Dutch flag! ”

Now there is still the flag of the Dutch, isn't it looking for death?

"It's... Why is this Dutchman so unbeaten? ”

Liu Guangliang muttered.

Right now.

Someone shouted, "Look! The Luo family's ship has been hoisted with the sun and moon flag! ”

"The Ye family also hangs the sun and moon flag!"

"The Chen family is also hanging!"

"Mrs. Jia, let's hang it up quickly!"

"King Ming is going to dominate the South Seas!"

"The Dutch are finished!"

"yes, yes."

The people of the Liu family also shouted.

These Liu thugs are not an army.

It's basically the role of an underworld thug.

It is impossible to prohibit anything.

Now I see that King Ming is powerful.

Before Liu Qianxing could speak.

These Chinese underworld elements are clamoring to go to the king.

After all, these people were originally members of the Heaven and Earth Society - although it was said that Lan Fang and the Heaven and Earth Society had a falling out, the incense between the two sides was still there.

Moreover, since the Zheng family in Taiwan is gone, the Heaven and Earth Society is not an organization with a strict structure.

It's basically a plate of loose sand.

Although it is loose sand.

But the slogan of Heaven and Earth will oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty has been shouted for so many years.

There is no psychological pressure on everyone to vote for the Ming King now - although before this, these underworld still counted on the Qing court in the north to come forward to support them in the South Seas.

But now everyone knows that they are self-inflicted.

Where would the emperor of the Tartars support these Han people - not to mention that they were still the most hated Cantonese Han in the Qing court.

Liu Qianxing and his son glanced at each other.

They now regret not bringing a few Sun and Moon Flags with them...

Then Liu Qianxing had no choice but to shout loudly: "Hurry up, lower the sails, prepare the boat, and the old man will go to meet the king of Ming!" ”

Soon, the underworld thugs of the Liu family hurriedly ripped off the sails and showed their attitude - removing the sails meant that the sailboat lost power, which was a signal of submission and no hostility on the sea.

.........

Also lowering the sails were the boats of Lan Fang's other families.

Luo Fangbo looked at the wreckage of the Dutch fleet, which had been largely completely destroyed.

His eyes were full of shock.

The Dutch have been pressing on the heads of the Chinese in the South Seas for more than a hundred years.

When the Zheng family was still alive, the Dutch didn't dare to bully the Nanyang Han people - at that time, the Taiwanese Zheng family was a maritime power that could compete with the Dutch in East Asia.

But since the Zheng family was destroyed.

The Qing court also had no interest in building a navy to control the seas of East Asia, and the Manchu chieftains of the Qing court were naturally afraid of the sea.

And so it goes.

The Nanyang Chinese lost their leader and were completely scattered, although in terms of numbers, the Nanyang Chinese were second only to the local aborigines and far more numerous than the Westerners.

But in status.

The Chinese were completely suppressed by the Westerners in Nanyang.

First-class foreigners, second-class Chinese...

This is the reality of Nanyang.

Even just a dozen years ago.

Batavia also saw the massacre of the Chinese by the Dutch.

Batavia was originally sparsely populated.

After being occupied by the Dutch, in order to develop Jakarta, the Dutch authorities began to recruit Chinese to work in Jakarta and opened up a large number of sugar cane plantations.

But with the increasing number of Chinese.

The Dutch began to fear that the growing Chinese would pose a threat to their rule in Batavia.

This, coupled with the massive expansion of sugar cane plantations in the Caribbean Gulf, Batavia's sugar has lost its competitiveness in the European market.

Unemployment has skyrocketed.

A large number of Chinese became urban nomads.

In order to "clean up" these urban nomads.

The Dutch authorities ordered that all Chinese be treated as "vagrants".

A massacre was committed.

The Dutch army went door to door to search for overseas Chinese, regardless of men, women, old and children, and killed them when caught, and in three days, more than 10,000 overseas Chinese residents in the city were slaughtered, and this was the "Hongxi Massacre" that shocked the world.

But what was Qianlong's attitude towards this?

The news reached Beijing.

Qianlong's attitude was that the slain overseas Chinese were "self-abandoning kings", "not hesitating to go abroad to seek profits by betraying the tombs of their ancestors", and "those who violated the will of the mainland and did not listen to the recruitment, and were willing to live for a long time, were supposed to correct the law in the Celestial Empire." I turned my back on my ancestors and was willing to live in Fandi for a long time, and I was not a citizen of the Qing Dynasty at all, even if I returned to the Qing Dynasty, I had to "correct the law" for them.

Therefore, this kind of thing, "the court does not listen to it". Love to kill or not, I don't care about it.

Therefore, Luo Fangbo knew from this incident.

The Qing court was unreliable.

And now.

The Dutch are finished.

The true leader of the Nanyang Chinese... Could it be His Royal Highness King Ming?

Luo Fangmei held the binoculars and said loudly on the side: "Brother, King Ming has completely defeated the Dutch, what are you waiting for?" ”

Luo Fangbo was suddenly excited.

"Quick! Get off the boat, I'm going to meet King Ming. ”

At all costs.

Now he is qualified to be the leader of the Nanyang Chinese.

It is after this prince of Ming Yiwen, the king of Ming, Zhu Daohua!

Whether in terms of strength, or in terms of identity.

It's all him.
