e: Two chapters together, n-n)oi haha

When this huge Chinese fleet arrived at the port of Jakarta, the local Chinese and overseas Chinese were crazy with joy.

There are about 20,000 Chinese in Jakarta and nearby areas, and at least nearly 60,000 people flocked to the port after learning of the arrival of the Chinese fleet. At this time, the port of Jakarta was all occupied by the Chinese, and there were dragon and lion dances everywhere, and colorful flags and lanterns were everywhere. The natives of Indonesia have long been out of sight, and the Dutch have honestly given up the Lord and retreated back to their homes.

In order to show "friendship", the Dutch colonists left only a small number of soldiers and police officers in the port area to maintain law and order. However, judging from their mental state, it is not so much to maintain law and order, but to repair and save a sense of zài, indicating that this place belongs to the Netherlands. What is really maintaining law and order is the officers and men of the Chinese fleet who are not on duty on the ships. Because of the limited space on the ship, some of the officers and men on duty usually lived on the passenger ship, and they only went to the warship when it was their turn to go on duty.

Now these alternates have all put on their military uniforms, picked up brand new firearms, and are maintaining law and order on the docks. The local Dutch garrison is only more than 1o6 people, of which the regular army is less than 6o, and the number of these alternate officers and soldiers who went ashore to "maintain law and order" is as many as more than 66 people, not to mention the equipment, although there are few heavy weapons, but there are a lot of rifles, machine guns, mortars and the like, and they are all the most advanced at this time.

In addition to the ships left on guard duty in the fleet, the other warships were open to tourists, and everyone could visit the ships, not only the Chinese, but also the Dutch. Well, it was originally a friendly visit, and no matter what the Dutch think, at least the Chinese side has done a good job. I've already invited you anyway, and as for whether you come or not, that's your business.

Although the Dutch were very unhappy, they could only pinch their noses and admit it at this time, after all, the British had already said that if something happened to them because of their own reasons, Britain would not care. Under these circumstances, the Dutch Governor of the East Indies knew that this was a dismount, so he had no choice but to take a few officials on board the ship to visit

The Dutch did not stay long, and after a hasty tour of the flagship battleship "Zhurong", and after some necessary official entertainment, the Governor of the East Indies returned with the Dutch in a gray manner. They all understand that the Chinese are here to demonstrate and show their muscles, what is there to see, and if they stay any longer, they will not send their faces to the countryside

Although this little white fleet does not even have dreadnoughts, and most of them are second-hand ships, in the eyes of Britain, Germany, France, the United States and other top powers, it is nothing at all, but for the weak Netherlands, it is a survival that can only be looked up to. The Netherlands is no longer the "coachman of the sea", and the glory of the "coachman of the sea" has long since fallen in the 18th century with the war with England and France.

The Dutch have now been completely reduced to the younger brother of the British, and their military strength is jaw-droppingly weak. Their colonies in Southeast Asia were preserved entirely by the strength of the British, otherwise they would have been torn apart and swallowed by those fierce beasts that were eyeing them. And now, it seems that there is one more beast that is watching them.

Compared to other beasts, this new beast also has geographical and demographic advantages, not only is it closer, but there are still many people in the colony. And this beast of prey has been the true overlord of the East until it weakened, and they have ruled the East for 26 years, and all the states of the Far East have prostrate under its majesty.

All the people of the East have a kind of reverence for this giant beast from the bloodline, which was seriously ill and weakened before, and it has no effect. But now it seems that the beast has been cured of its illness and has reawakened from its weakness, and now it has turned its attention to the land that was once its sphere of influence.

Yes, the Dutch were the first to feel about China's resurgence. Of course, with their deep-seated white pride, they don't want to admit it. But it was already manifested in the operation, and they now did their best to provide all kinds of convenience to the visiting Chinese fleet, and even the local Chinese who were often bullied by them changed their attitudes, even if their celebrations blocked the traffic and caused a lot of noise and inconvenience, the Dutch pretended not to know. Lest the Chinese find some excuse to do something.

Since the governor pretended to be deaf and dumb, the rest of the Dutch were naturally not troubled. Now the whole of Jakarta has been ceded by the Dutch, consciously or unconsciously, to let these Chinese revel.

As soon as the Dutch left, the atmosphere at the scene was even higher, and the overseas Chinese sang and danced on the pier, which was more exciting than the festival. When they visited the ship, they were even more excited and difficult to be.

An old overseas Chinese suddenly knelt on the deck, touched the deck of the battleship with trembling hands, and shouted with tears: "This ...... This is my big warship in Tangshan, it's been so many years, and I finally saw the big warship in Tangshan, woo woo woo ......"

After another young man got on the ship, he went straight to the main turret, hugged the turret and burst into tears, and cried for more than ten minutes, but he couldn't persuade him.

By the way, the "Tangshan" that overseas Chinese talk about is naturally not Tangshan in Hebei Province. This word refers to "Tang Jiangshan", which is the customary name of overseas Chinese to their hometown of China's big 6. Bruce Lee's 1971 movie "Big Brother Tangshan" was taken from it.

When they saw this huge Chinese fleet with their own eyes and visited the ship, the overseas Chinese were enthusiastic. They sent a large number of souvenirs and various condolences to the naval fleet, and some wealthy overseas Chinese directly donated money to the navy. The amount of donations is equivalent to tens of millions of silver dollars.

However, Commander Wang Tiehammer accepted the condolences on behalf of the navy, but declined all donations. He said to several overseas Chinese deputies: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are the people's army, we are disciplined, and we cannot accept donations without permission. We have received your wishes, and we cannot ask for this money. Chairman Wen said that the money of overseas Chinese in Nanyang is hard-earned, and we cannot ask for it in vain. At present, China is in ruins, and the government welcomes overseas Chinese in Nanyang to return to China to invest and set up factories and do business, and build the country together. In addition, the government will also invest in Nanyang soon, so if you are interested, you can cooperate with the government to make money from foreigners together......"

Subsequently, Wang Tiehammer told everyone that he would negotiate with the Dutch colonial government this time to fight for more rights and interests of overseas Chinese.

This news made the overseas Chinese surprised and delighted, in the past, these overseas Chinese were regarded as outcasts of the Celestial Empire by the Qing Dynasty, and their life and death would not be cared about by the Qing Dynasty. This is also the reason why the overseas Chinese in Nanyang are so enthusiastic about the anti-Qing revolution, in addition to the fact that the Manchus are a foreign colonial regime, it is also a very important reason that they cannot be their backers. A regime that cannot protect its own people or even does not want to recognize overseas Chinese as its own is doomed to be abandoned by the people.

It is difficult for later generations to imagine how obsessed the Chinese in this era, especially overseas Chinese, are with the rejuvenation of China. Living under the fence, they are so desperate for a mother country that can protect them. Unable to do this, they chose to support the revolution, hoping that the new government would satisfy their wishes.

But it turns out that the so-called revolutionary organizations are unfashionable people who have received so many donations but have achieved nothing. And now, the Chinese Scientific Socialist Party, an organization that has never turned to them, has overthrown the Manchu dynasty, which had ruled China for 2o years, and seized power in China by an astonishing degree

Now, just after the founding of the country, this strange regime has sent a fleet larger than they imagined, and has come all the way to support them. This makes them how not to get excited and excited.

Moreover, their statement that they did not want to donate money made the overseas Chinese's evaluation of New China rise a few points in their hearts. For overseas Chinese, it's nothing to give money, but you always have to do something, but they are scum in all aspects except for the mouth cannon level. Compared with the current political power of the Socialist Party, it is simply unsightly.

In fact, this is normal, for Mr. Wen, who is not bad for money, he really doesn't care much about the donations from overseas Chinese in Nanyang. Compared with these donations, he cares more about the overseas Chinese themselves. The Dutch East Indies have been greedy for a long time, and when the European side is more nervous, he is ready to start. When the time comes, the local overseas Chinese will be a very important help, so he is now going to use economic interests and other means to pull all these overseas Chinese over. Wen Dehei, who came from later generations, knew very well that although feelings such as blood ties and national feelings were strong, they could not last, and the only lasting thing in this world was interests, and only the common bond of interests was the strongest.

Of course, the task of the navy was only to flex its muscles and show off its strength, and it was not up to them to negotiate with the Dutch. The Little White Fleet stayed in Jakarta for 6 days. In the past six days, not only most of the overseas Chinese in Jakarta have come to the port, but also many overseas Chinese from other places have rushed over. At most, the city of Jakarta brought together 20,000 overseas Chinese from all over the world, as for the original natives, they had long been scared away, and the Dutch were also very interested in hushing in their houses. The whole city seemed to have turned into a city in Chinese mainland overnight, and the city was full of Chinese.

The next day, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic, Cavour, arrived from China to negotiate with the Dutch colonial authorities.

As we all know, diplomacy is a matter of judging by the strength of the two sides, and only with strength can there be diplomacy. Under the guns of the Chinese, the Dutch are reserved like clouds in the sky, and once the wind blows, they will not return. What's more, the British also clearly hinted that at this time, as long as the Chinese did not make too excessive demands, such as demanding the full acceptance of the East Indies or letting the Netherlands cede land, they would definitely not have a head-on conflict with China. As for the other requirements, you Dutch will give in a little bit, and you will earn enough anyway. The Dutch, who were unreliable, had to put down their faces and succumb to reality.

Subsequently, according to the Chinese state media, the two sides had a frank conversation, enhanced mutual understanding and fully exchanged views. The Chinese side said that it respected the sovereignty of the Kingdom of the Netherlands over the East Indies, but expressed serious concern about the living conditions of the local Chinese. The Dutch side appreciated China's support for its sovereignty, but had a different view on the living conditions of the local Chinese...... The two sides conducted a series of negotiations in a spirit of pragmatism and mutual understanding, which culminated in a package agreement between the two sides.

On January 1, 19o9, China and the Netherlands signed the Treaty of Jakarta between China and the Netherlands, which could not be equal under the gun. The treaty states:

1. The Netherlands agrees with China to set up a consulate and other diplomatic missions in the East Indies, and carves out territory after consultation with the Chinese side.

2. China respects the sovereignty of the Netherlands over the East Indies, but the Netherlands should also respect China's interests in the East Indies. The Netherlands should facilitate Chinese investment in the Netherlands, and the tax on Chinese-funded enterprises should not be higher than that of similar Dutch enterprises. Chinese companies undertake to comply with the relevant Dutch laws.

3. The Dutch colonial government abolished the discriminatory laws, regulations, taxation and other policies against the local Chinese, and promised not to introduce new discriminatory policies and laws, and that the treatment enjoyed by the Chinese in the local area should be no less than that of any third-country national. Chinese schools can be opened, but the Dutch government is not allowed to do so.

4. Under the premise of ensuring compliance with the relevant laws of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the local overseas Chinese shall be administered autonomously. The internal affairs of overseas Chinese are managed by the Chinese Autonomous Council, which may, on the premise of not violating the Dutch Constitution, formulate its own laws and regulations for the Chinese-populated areas, exercise the right to administer them, and the colonial authorities shall not be involved, and the results of various government affairs shall be notified to the Governor's Palace.

5. According to the actual situation, the Netherlands has set aside a site as a local overseas Chinese settlement area. Ethnic areas with Chinese settlements have the right to establish armed self-defense units to guard against banditry. Self-Defense Forces must not exceed the number of adult males in the enclave, and they must not possess artillery pieces larger than three inches.

6. Overseas Chinese and Chinese who commit illegal acts in the local area shall be heard jointly by the judges of both sides after informing the local Chinese consulate.

In addition to the above main articles, there are also some provisions on "cooperation" between the two sides in the political and economic fields. In addition, the Netherlands initially wanted to play tricks on China's question of the ownership of the Wansheng Islands (Natuna Islands). However, the Chinese side came up with sufficient historical evidence, well, mainly under the deterrence of the giant ships and cannons, the Dutch colonial government reluctantly recognized it, and agreed to return the Wansheng Islands (Natuna Islands) to China unconditionally after the treaty was signed.

In short, this is an alliance under the city. It was also the first unequal treaty after the founding of New China, and of course this "inequality" was for the Great Netherlands. After the news came out, not only the overseas Chinese in Nanyang were ecstatic, but also the people in China and overseas Chinese in other places were also full of joy. This is the first strong treaty between China and a foreign country since Yicrow. Let the Chinese people, who have been aggrieved for more than half a century, finally find a little bit of the feeling of the heavenly kingdom.

Although Greater Holland is not a big player in the West, it is barely a great power, well, it was once a first-class power. After all, New China has just been founded, and it can subdue the broken settlement of the Netherlands, but it is also a good start, isn't it?

In addition, there are some people of insight who said that the first unequal treaty between the Qing Dynasty and foreign countries was not the "Treaty of Nanjing" of Yiya, but the "Treaty of Nebuchu" during the Kangxi period, and they also cited scriptures and came up with a lot of evidence. According to their point of view, that is to say, from that time on, I was in the Qing Dynasty to lose the share of the Heavenly Empire. Therefore, this treaty of New China is the first treaty with the style of the Celestial Empire in 2o years, which shows how much our Republic is carried by heaven and how great and righteous our literature is......

Well, it was the "domestic masters" of the Institute of Literature and History under the command of Mr. Wen who put forward this point of view, and even Wen Desi himself did not expect that these masters would be able to dig out such a thing from the pile of old papers. Although this point of view may be somewhat controversial in the eyes of professionals, it is generally fine, and the point of view that is favorable to the CSD is a good view, not to mention that the majority of the people agree with this view, then there is no problem.

The popularity of the newly formed Government of the Republic and of Grace has risen again, and even some of those who had previously been critical of the CSD have now changed their attitude and begun to support the Government of the Republic. Because the vast majority of Chinese have a "dream of the Celestial Dynasty" in their hearts, as long as the government that realizes this dream is an ironclad legitimate government, and the leader who can realize this dream is the "true dragon Tianzi", which is the power of traditional culture since ancient times.

After this incident, not only was the position of Wendeji and the government of the Republic further consolidated, but even Foreign Minister Cavour was widely recognized by public opinion. You must know that in the past, because of Cavour's foreigner status, many people disagreed with his appointment as China's foreign minister, doubting whether he could guarantee China's interests. After the signing of the Jakarta Treaty, there was no longer any suspicion.

In the early morning of November 19o9, the "Little White Fleet" left Jakarta as planned, and arrived in Surabaya on the 4th in accordance with the strong request of local overseas Chinese, and conducted a three-day friendly rhetorical interrogation with Surabaya.

Surabaya was the place with the largest concentration of overseas Chinese in Nanyang at that time, with about 30,000 Chinese here, and it was also the most prosperous area of the Chinese economic circle in Nanyang. In other words, the overseas Chinese here are the richest.

As a result of the signing of the Jakarta Treaty, the Chinese fleet was given an even warmer welcome here. The fleet entered the harbor under the eager gaze of 150,000 overseas Chinese, and as soon as the officers and men got off the ship, they were surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd.

Many local families not only worked on a large scale, but even sent people to the fleet to look for sons-in-law, and many young officers were "harassed" by many matchmakers, and even Comrade Wang Tiezhu, the commander of the navy, did not escape. Of course, his identity is there, and the "harassment" of him is much more gentle.

After conveying Mr. Wen's meaning, the local families have expressed that they will return to China to invest, and cooperate with the country to engage in local industries together.

Three days later, under the farewell of the local Chinese, the Little White Fleet left Surabaya and visited Palembang, Jambi, Singapore, and Medan as planned, and then entered the Indian Ocean through the Strait of Malacca, and began to visit the British colonies such as Burma and India.

On November 2, the Little White Fleet arrived at Bandar Abbas, Iran, and began a friendly rhetorical interrogation with Iran. The fleet then circled the Persian Gulf and visited the countries and regions along the coast.

After leaving the Persian Gulf, the fleet continued westward into the Red Sea, passing through Sudan, Abyssinia (Ethiopia), and Somalia all the way south to German East Africa, and finally arrived at South Africa, the final stop of the cruise. After the end of the visit to South Africa, the Chinese fleet began to return along the same route. Well, their route basically followed the route that Zheng He took to the Western Ocean, which was also the first time that the Chinese fleet reached Africa after the Ming Dynasty.

On 3 February, the Chinese fleet sailed through the Strait of Malacca and returned to the Pacific Ocean.

On January 1, 191o, on the first day of the new year, the Chinese fleet arrived at the Wansheng Islands (Natuna Islands), by which time the Netherlands had already returned sovereignty over the island to China, and the two sides were currently going through the transfer procedures. The arrival of the Chinese fleet has undoubtedly accelerated the handover process, and what was still being talked about now is no longer being ripped off. In the afternoon of the same day, the Dutch had completed the handover and left dejectedly.

On January 6, the Chinese fleet arrived in Bangkok for a visit to the Kingdom of Siam. Because of Lin Shenhe's relationship, the fleet received a very warm welcome in Thailand, and the King of Thailand personally went to the port to greet him. Cavour also came to Thailand, and after the incident, the two sides held a two-day secret talks, after which the two sides issued the "Sino-Thai Joint Statement" and signed the "Sino-Thai Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation." The public part of this treaty is not much, mainly about economic cooperation and trade between the two sides. The part that has not been announced is the key, and that's a later story, so I won't mention it here.

On January 11, the Chinese fleet again arrived at the Wansheng Islands, where they divided into six routes and declared sovereignty over all the islands within the nine-dash line, and erected monuments on these islands.

When the first detachment arrived at the dark sands of Zengmu, Wang Tiehammer ordered the sovereign stele to be dropped.

"Commander, this place is not an island...... Moreover, the name here doesn't seem to be Zengmu Dark Sand......" Li Zhun, who was with Commander Wang, asked a little puzzled. Especially when it comes to the name, he is more solid. Comrade Li Zhun is not one of those who has seen the world, and he knows more about the situation here than many people.

"It's okay, Commander Lee. We say it's the Great Mother Dark Sands, then it is, and it doesn't matter if it's not an island now. Because it is still growing, I believe that sooner or later, it will grow into an island to commemorate the ancient sage of our country, Zengzi and his mother," Wang Tiezhu said solemnly.

"Oh, I see, Commander. This is the island ...... commemorating the ancient sage of our country, Zengzi and his mother," Li Zhun retreated with a black line.

After the Nansha Islands declared sovereignty, the fleet then went to the Xisha Islands, Zhongsha Islands, Dongsha and other South China Sea islands to declare sovereignty. Commander Li Zhun was very happy, when he was in the Guangdong Navy in the past, the ships that came out to patrol were all small and broken, but now they are 10,000-ton ships. When he claimed sovereignty over the Dongsha Islands, the ships he used were still two armed transport ships with iron ribs and wooden hulls, and he was so miserable that he couldn't say anything.

On January 2, after concluding its visit to French Indochina, the Little White Fleet returned to the port of Guangzhou, China, and concluded this goodwill visit to Wèn, which lasted for more than one month and traveled tens of thousands of kilometers. This operation is also a very important exercise for the nascent Chinese Navy, and the officers and men have greatly improved their skills and will have been well tempered during such a long-term voyage.

Moreover, it has also achieved great results in diplomacy, demonstrating its national and military prestige, subduing the Netherlands to win favorable conditions for overseas Chinese in Indonesia, and determining the sovereignty of Nanhai Zhudao. Compared to the above fruitful results, spending that little money is not enough to worry about.
