Chapter 186 Layout overseas
"I'll say hello to the police chief and ask him to give you a few days off. You can help me visit the Qing Gang and recruit a few people. Captain, first mate, and sailor who can drive a steamer to travel to sea transportation. Give me all the staff as soon as possible, so the wages are easy to say." Lu
Use it and command it.
Du Yuesheng smiled: "Sir, you forgot what our Qing Gang came from. The older generation are all sailing. How many people do you want? Just tell me, what do you want them to do?"
Don’t I have a rubber plantation in Southeast Asia? First, buy a small steamer for rubber transportation, mainly to travel from Shanghai to Nanyang. Remember, the people who run the boat must be reliable. Do you understand?"
Lu Yongzhi specifically reminded him.
"I understand. I'll bring them a letter to them and let them prepare early." Du Yuesheng immediately understood what Lu Yongzhi meant, and now he had to send them to Nanyang to avoid it.
"Ask again, some of their apprentices are willing to go to the rubber plantation in Nanyang, so they can gather more people, the more people, the better."
This made Du Yuesheng confused. Didn’t he take people away? Why are he going to so many people doing?”
Let them move secretly, so don’t take their families. The families are willing to go with them, and then follow the boat in the future." Lu Yongzhi reminded him.
Just as he was looking at the map, a bold idea suddenly emerged. At the beginning, he really wanted to send them to his rubber plantation in Southeast Asia to avoid it, and wait for the limelight to pass a few years before letting them come back.
When he saw Borneo, he remembered that this place had not yet formed a country, and it was all Javanese tribes, and now it was ruled by the Dutch colonists.
This Borneo is Kalimantan Island, which is the third largest island in the world. Later, the island was divided into three countries: Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei.
The most favorable local Chinese accounted for half of the island's total population. There was once a "Lanfang Republic" here, which was completely ruled by Chinese. It ruled the island for more than a hundred years and was not defeated by the Dutch colonists until twenty or thirty years ago.
This place can be done in a good way. If the power can be penetrated here and gain a foothold, then the entire South China Sea will truly become China's inland sea in the future.
More importantly, if a solid rule of the Chinese is established here, then there will be no tragic murder of Chinese in Indonesia in the future.
He asked Du Yuesheng to recruit personnel and notify Achang and the others to prepare. Lu Yongzhi first sent a telegram to Guan Wuming to recruit a group of retired veterans on the spot, bring double-dollar food guys to wait in Guangxi, on the grounds that he wanted to ask someone to protect the rubber garden.
It is not easy to say it clearly in the telegram, but Guan Wuming should understand what he meant.
Later, he went to the Fahua Company to find Xiaomali's father François, and asked him to notify the rubber plantation owner in Borneo to prepare to receive a group of people from China. The rubber plantation owner was also a Chinese. After François bought the property rights of the rubber plantation, he still entrusted him to operate it.
In addition, he was asked to go to the shipyard to order a steamer of about 1,000 tons for him. He only asked the faster the better, even if he bought most of the new second-hand ships. The shipyard's shipbuilding machinery was supplied by the Fahua Company, and François had always maintained a good relationship with them.
The next day, Lu Yongzhi took Du Yuesheng to his hometown in Pudong. After Achang and the others had an accident, Du Yuesheng knew that this matter could not be resolved, so he arranged for them to hide in his hometown. There, Du Yuesheng still has a foundation, and a group of old brothers can take care of him. If there is any trouble, someone will come to report the news immediately.
When he saw Achang and the others, Achang immediately "splashed" and said, "Sir, I've caused trouble for you."
Lu Yongzhi helped Achang up and said, "If someone kills him, he will kill him. Isn't he the son of a military commander? We are not responsible for this matter."
Lu Yongzhi spoke and set the tone for this matter, and Li Tong and others felt relieved.
"It's just that this matter is hard to be good, so you can only go out and avoid it. Come over and see what I have arranged for you." Lu
He greeted everyone in the house, spread the map on the table and said, "I have a rubber garden in Borneo, and it will be your place to stay."
Later, Lu Yongzhi began to talk about the history of Chinese people going to Southeast Asia hundreds of years ago, and to the establishment of the first "Lanfang Republic" by the Chinese, and ruled the island for more than a hundred years.
"Why did this country perish? It was because of the attack of the Dutch colonists. At that time, the great command of the Lanfang Republic had always been complacent of the Qing Dynasty. The Dutch people were afraid of the revenge of the Qing Dynasty and never dared to take action. Later, it was seen that the Qing Dynasty was really corrupt and incompetent, so they began to attack the Lanfang Republic."
Yongzhi looked at everyone and knew that most of them were illiterate and did not understand the meaning of republic at all. He explained:
"This is also the mistake of the general commanders of the Lanfang Republic. They sat down with the local tribes for some time and did not establish a strong authoritarian government. The local tribes are of course willing to cooperate for their own interests. However, they sit together only for the sake of interests. Once the Dutch rulers promised them greater benefits, they immediately turned against each other."
While Lu Yongzhi said, he observed the reactions of everyone, especially Li Tong, the boss of their ten brothers.
It's pretty good. Li Tong looks sophisticated and thoughtful while listening carefully. First of all, he can confirm that he is still very interested in the way out arranged by Lu Yongzhi."
I tell you all this because there is a huge opportunity here. Whoever has a strong fist will be able to become king here. No matter how hard you are in Shanghai, you are just a street fighter. Here you can accumulate slaves, ask for ten or eight wives, and give orders to everyone. As long as you can do well, it is entirely possible to become the king of this place."
Passion has burned in the eyes of most people. Here we can be lawless and there is no longer any law, so they may become local rulers. This situation is absolutely tempting enough.
"Sir, didn't you say that the Dutch ruled here?" Li Tong was still very calm.
Later Lu Yongzhi began to talk about the size of the Dutch country, and its decline in recent years, and also talked about how he fought with the French on the border.
"For the Dutch, the truth is the same. As long as the fists are strong enough, they can still be driven away. Of course, at the beginning, you must first gain a foothold and unite with the local Chinese. The Chinese are not united enough in the local area, which is one of the reasons why they later lose to the Dutch. If you go, you must first open a local incense hall to collect disciples and first promote the Qing Gang brand."
A smile immediately appeared on Zhou Tong's face. Lu Yongzhi knew that after he could urge him, he immediately knew how to strengthen his strength.
"What should I do if I don't fight against the Dutch at the beginning? Fight guerrillas, the Dutch are in the open and you are in the dark. As long as you can unite the Chinese, the Dutch will have no choice but to you. What should I do with the locals? Those who are disobedient and firmly suppress them, and they must not be rude and make them feel the strength of force. For those who obedient surrender to you, then open a school and force them to send their children in to learn Chinese. This is the fundamental way to stabilize themselves."
Li Tong has been memorizing it with great care, and Du Yuesheng already had an expression of eagerness to try, but as soon as he saw everyone, his expression immediately dimmed again. His master's ten brothers were all higher than him, and it was difficult for them to stand out with them.
"Think about your masters, when they went to Shanghai, how did they build the Qing Gang and develop it to their current scale? And your conditions are much better than them. What I can guarantee you is to ask for money and guns. In Guangxi, I have asked a group of veterans who have fought wars to gather and send them over one after another. What you need to do is how to unite with them and how to unite with local Chinese." Li
Tong suddenly made up his mind: "Sir, we have done it. Instead of hiding here, we might as well go there to find a new world." Lu
He nodded with praise. "Of course, everyone has their own ambitions. After you go, you can't stay there. You can come back in a few years. In the future, I will invest in establishing a fleet, traveling between the mainland and the Southeast Peninsula, and it is very convenient to go back and forth."
Lu Yongzhi had made up his mind at this time and began to build a fleet. In case of need, he could mobilize Guan Wuming to pull out thousands of troops in Guangxi and completely kill the Dutch.
On the way back, Du Yuesheng sincerely asked for advice: "Sir, what is the purpose of doing this?"
Leave a throat for the descendants.”
