[1236 Lan Fangguo can best prove that China is a golden signboard]

The biggest weapon of Emperor Hua is the historical status of China and the status of China in the entire Asia!

In the impression of people all over the world, China is the dominant of Asia, which is incomparable to the United States' status in the Americas!

Americans should constantly declare their sphere of influence to the great powers and declare that they will do whatever they want when they come to America. There is no need to say anything about China. When someone comes to Asia, the first thing they need to see is China's expression.

For example, the Lanfang Kingdom on Bora Island.

From the Han Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, whenever the new and old regimes alternated, the people who could not stand the war and the declined powerful people would move overseas one after another.

Due to its geographical proximity, Southeast Asia has become a migration place and refuge for Chinese immigrants.

This wave of immigration that travels across the ocean to the South China Sea to make a living is known in history as "going to the South China Sea".

"Going to Southeast Asia" is also called "Baofan" in Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan, which means making a living in the Southeast Asia area.

Behind the Chinese's large-scale migration to Southeast Asia again and again, there are generally three major reasons: one is due to war and natural disasters; two is because of political and economic reasons; and three is because of people's yearning and pursuit of a better life.

The Nanyang Road of the Chinese people was not until the Ming and early Qing dynasties that it became wider and wider, showing a large-scale migration wave.

"Fujian is vast and densely populated, and the land is narrow, and the countryside is not enough to farm, so I look at the sea to make a living." Fujian and Guangdong were poor at that time, with a large population and a small land, making it difficult for the people to maintain their lives.

In order to make a living and avoid war, more than 7 million Chinese people traveled across the ocean, and went to Nanyang to make a living again and again.

In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, a large number of refugees, the remnants of the Ming army who failed to resist the Qing Dynasty, and the Ming dynasty who were unwilling to serve the Qing court, set off a climax of immigration to Southeast Asia.

At that time, many Guangdong people went to Nanyang to make a living. Because Guangdong people are good at doing business, many people engaged in trade were highly respected by local chiefs.

At that time, because many Europeans went to harass the local area, a local Chinese community recruited group training from Guangdong Province and came to Nanyang to play a role similar to bodyguards. The most powerful of them was Lanfang Company.

"Lanfang Republic" is the full name of "Lanfang Grand General Republic", and is the first republic founded by the Chinese.

The Lanfang Republic was originally not a political organization, but a trading company.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Wu Yuansheng, a native of Jiaying, Guangdong, fled to Borneo because of his plan to leak the uprising, and established the influential "Jushen Company" locally and became the leader of the company.

Later, his subordinate Luo Fangbo gradually surpassed Wu Yuansheng's reputation, and instead became Wu Yuansheng's superior, Luo Fangbo then established the "Lanfang Company".

Later, many local indigenous chiefs asked Lanfang Company to protect them. Luo Fangbo established the "Lanfang Grand Regular Republic" in Pontianak in 1777 and served as the head of the republic, taking charge of national security and coordination between various tribes.

The internal affairs of each tribe are still under the responsibility of the chief.

When tribes that did not join in the early days saw the success of the Lanfang Republic, they also expressed their willingness to join the member tribe.

At the peak of the country's power, the sphere of influence of the Lanfang Republic occupied the entire Borneo.

In the 37th year of Qianlong's reign (1772), 35-year-old Luo Fangbo decided to go to Southeast Asia to make a living. After experiencing storms, he went ashore from a place called "Sanfa". Sanfa is now West Kalimantan Province, Indonesia.

Before Luo Fangbo came, many people had already come to Kalimantan to make a living in the southeast coastal areas of China.

Most of them are concentrated in the island's coastal city Pontianak to work.

Some grow rice, coconut, coffee, and pepper in rural areas, while others mine oil and coal mines in mountainous areas.

The local natural conditions and living environment were extremely harsh. Due to the long journey, they could not receive the care and care of the motherland and were called "the abandoned people of the Celestial Empire" by Emperor Qianlong.

In order to survive, they need unity and mutual assistance, so they automatically formed many organizations similar to "members' associations".

In the 37th year of Qianlong's reign, Luo Fangbo and more than a hundred relatives and friends crossed the ocean to Borneo, which is rich in gold mines and diamonds.

At first, Fang Bo took teaching as a career. He was educated, brave, talented, and understood martial arts. He was strong and could not only unite overseas Chinese, but also cooperate with local natives. He was deeply supported by local people and overseas Chinese.

Kalimantan Island has fertile land, can be cultivated and pastoral, and has mountains, forests, gold mines, rich resources, and harbors can develop transportation. However, at that time, mining companies of all sizes and large within the island fought against each other, and outside it was armed invasion by the Dutch Empire East India Company from Indonesia, which was extremely severe internal and external troubles. After gaining a firm foothold, Luo Fangbo actively contacted Sudan and the local Tu people, established an army that combines overseas Chinese and local people, and worked hard to repel foreign invaders and obtained the jurisdiction of Dongwanlu.

In 1776, Luo Fangbo, based on the opinions of the local people, took Dongwanlu as the capital and began to establish the "Lanfang Company", which was renamed the "Lanfang General System" Republic in 1777.

The 1.1 million people under his jurisdiction unanimously support him as the head of state, who is called the "General Chief of the Tang Dynasty" or the "Guide Chief of the Tang Dynasty", which means that the Chinese are visiting overseas, while the local indigenous people call him "King of Pontianak".

The inheritance of its leaders is not a family hereditary system, but a form similar to democratic elections and abdication.

The political system is divided into five parts: judicial, military, finance, economy, and education.

In terms of military equipment: open an ordnance factory and cast weapons. Except for a small number of standing troops stationed in the military strategic locations, there are no troops stationed in other places. Usually, everyone is responsible for their own business and draws young people of appropriate age to practice shooting. Once something happens, they will recruit these young people to form an army (similar to the current reserve service).

Finance: Tax inspectors are set up to implement taxation to enrich the treasury; merchants are levied on the principle of exporting income. For example, those who open gold mines have to pay "foot-imitation gold", those who farm, those who pay "smooth money"; those who do business also have to pay taxes. They also issue their own country's currency.

Economic aspects: actively expand the market; minerals are composed of state companies (now said to be state-owned enterprises), and implement unified operations.

In terms of education: hold Chinese schools and hire Confucian scholars to teach, focusing on Chinese traditional culture.

Judicial: Based on the program of the Tiandihui (Lanfang Company annexed Tiandihui after arduous military struggle with Tiandihui, so the relatively systematic and complete program of the Tiandihui was also absorbed by Lanfang), and then revised to popularize and implement regulations. In addition to organizing resistance to foreign enemies and taxation, the other main task of officials is to "decide cases", and to behead the serious crimes, to show public performance, to fight, to get rattan (whip), and to apologize with red silk candles.

The national flag of the Lanfang Republic is a yellow rectangular flag with yellow ground and red characters, with the words "Lanfang Grand General System" written on it.

It is stipulated that various Hanfu are used as national holiday dresses, and officials usually wear long gowns, jackets, or suits.

The soldiers wore the costumes of the Qing Dynasty Green Camp soldiers.

After Luo Fangbo became the chief of the Tang Dynasty, he began to realize his political ideals and began to promote democratic management with his unique political talent.

Leading the local people and expatriates to overcome difficulties and work hard to make the Pontianak, Dongwanlu, Salaman, Yamaguchi and other places in Borneo have jumped from desolate places to become a prosperous "gold mine town" and a "land of fish and rice town" and a beautiful home for local people and expatriates.

Luo Fangbo was the head of state for 19 years and died of illness in 1795 AD. He lived to be fifty-eight years old.

Subsequently, Jiang Wubo was elected by citizens across the country to succeed as the head of state, and seven other people held this position since then.

In 1886, this small Chinese country established in a foreign land was attacked by fierce attacks by the Dutch colonial invading army. The people across the country resisted tenaciously, but eventually failed due to poor weapons. This Chinese country unfortunately perished.

The Lanfang Republic has existed for 110 years.

Why can such a small force go overseas to establish a regime?

This point best reflects the status of the golden signboard of China in Asia!

As soon as Luo Fangguo was founded, Luo Fangbo sent someone to the Qing Dynasty to meet Emperor Qianlong and asked to call him a vassal, but the Qing court regarded it as a pirate nest and did not accept this country established by the Chinese in Southeast Asia overseas.

For this reason, Luo Fangbo died of depression. Before his death, he also told the people that no matter who will be the leader of the country in the future, his desire to surrender to the Qing Dynasty will never change.

Another reason why Luo Fangbo and others wanted to surrender to the Qing Dynasty at that time was to find a strong backer.

Southeast Asia was not peaceful at that time. Dutch colonists invaded Indonesia in 1596 and established the "East India Company" with government power in 1602, and continued to invade and expand on the Indonesian islands.

The Dutch colonists have been eyeing the Lanfang Republic and have been sending troops to invade.

Leaders of the country, such as Luo Fangbo, believed that it would be difficult to resist the Dutch colonists if they rely solely on the power of Lan Fang, and only by relying on the power of the Qing Dynasty could they suppress the Dutch.

Lan Fang's move has achieved certain results.

Although Luo Fangbo's wish to the Qing Dynasty to claim vassalism failed to come true, the Qing government finally agreed to trade with the Lanfang Republic.

Lan Fang also used this point to create illusions from outside, claiming that Lan Fang was already a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty.

This move indeed scared the Dutch. The Qing Dynasty was in the prosperous era of Kangxi and Qianlong. The Dutch were worried that the invasion of Lan Fang would arouse opposition from the Qing Dynasty, so they had to stop harassing Lan Fang.

By the late Qing Dynasty, the Dutch realized that the Qing Dynasty had become weak and could not take care of the Southeast Asian countries.

So the Dutch took advantage of the Sino-French War in 1884 to invade the Lanfang Republic.

Under the leadership of the Chief Minister, the people of Lanfang Republic resisted with all their might, and on the other hand, they quickly sent people to request the Qing Dynasty to send troops to support.

But at this time, the Qing Dynasty's own rule was already shaky and he didn't even bother to rescue Lan Fang.

Without the support of the Qing Dynasty and its weapons and equipment were far from the invading army, the Lanfang Republic was finally destroyed by the Dutch colonists.

However, fearing that the Qing Dynasty would react, the Netherlands did not dare to publicly claim that Lan Fang had destroyed, but instead established another puppet for rule.

It was not until 1912 that the Netherlands officially announced the occupation of the Lanfang region.

How weak was it in the late Qing Dynasty?

As a second-strong country, the Netherlands is still afraid of death, which shows how high the unified China is in the international arena!

Of course, Huahuang only has such a card in his hand. Apart from the international status given by history, this is at most a fake tiger skin.

In modern China, we were all-round backward to the Western civilized society, and Emperor Hua always believed that it was not shameful to admit this.

Many people, when they talk about this, immediately jumped and said, "My ancestors are much wider than the group of monkeys in the West, or they are all blamed for the emperor being deceived by treacherous ministers."

Although the Emperor Hua unified China, he had corrected many wrong ideas, published many of the bad deeds of the Qing Dynasty, and found many theoretical basis, even under the leadership of a modern political party like the Huacui Party, the entire country was not just civilized.

The same thing is said, the Qing Dynasty was weak and became a mollusk.

Otherwise, why did the Western monkeys suddenly beat us into monkeys?

Why can't the treacherous ministers around the emperor always chase away?

The emperor is just the spokesperson for the interests of the ruling class. If China wants to turn the world around, the entire ruling class must be replaced. There are individuals who betray the class, and there are no classes who betray the class.

The Emperor of China has now changed classes, and the emerging bourgeoisie came to power and united with workers and peasants. However, the start of China was too late and it only started in 1877.
