Chapter 756 Armed
Two truths. Regarding Ouyang Nanhua's counterattack against the Tubon Lord's reclaiming the land, Huang Qiuyuan disagrees. In his opinion, the so-called "reclaiming land" of the Tubon King was purely a cover, because the British company had long bought the land of the Xinmin Qing Reclamation Site from the Tubon King, and all the procedures were complete, and there was a clear registration in the land department of the British colonial authorities. The process of transferring this land to the Chinese in the future was also in compliance with commercial regulations. All of this was "legal". Now, even if the Tubon King wants to recover the land, he can only achieve his goal through legitimate commercial actions. If the Tubon King is unwilling to use money to buy land and intends to force the land to recover the land, this behavior is illegal. The reclaimers of the Xinmin Qing Reclamation Site can appeal to the legal department of the British colonial authorities step by step, requesting that the British colonial authorities come forward and punish the Tubon King.
In fact, when Huang Qiuyuan was in charge of the construction of other farms, he encountered similar situations. After he complained to the British colonial authorities, no matter what purpose he was, British colonial officials did support the Chinese people's proposals. Therefore, Huang Qiuyuan believes that it is best for the reclamationists of Xinmin Qing Reclamation Farm to use this method. The appeal method is for help, at least in Huang Qiuyuan's view. The British people pay attention to the "rule of law".
Moreover, Huang Qiuyuan also analyzed the real purpose of the Tubang King. In fact, the Tubang King was probably just planning to use this to put pressure on the reclaimers of the new Minqing people, successfully collecting the "determination tax" and then handing the money to the unsatisfactory British garrison. After all, this was caused by British colonial officials. The wool came from the sheep. In the Nanyang area, Chinese people were blackmailed. Like many Chinese, Huang Qiuyuan had long been accustomed to this, so he did not understand Ouyang Nanhua's "overreaction".
Of course, Huang Qiuyuan only has the right to suggest and no order. Xinmin Qing Reclamation Site has never obeyed him since its establishment. The funds used by this reclamation site were also "raised" from the southeastern coastal areas of China. It is not integrated with Huang Qiuyuan's reclamation system, so it has no obligation to obey Huang Qiuyuan or other reclamation systems.
It is precisely because of this that Ouyang Nanhua bluntly rejected Huang Qiuyuan's suggestion. He was determined and the slogan he proposed was also very inciting:
"Pick up your weapons! Armour! Defend your home! Defend the reclamation ground!"
Inspired by this slogan, all Chinese reclamation residents in Xinmin Qing Reclamation Farm signed up to participate in the self-defense regiment and prepared to use weapons to defend their interests and fight against the guards of the Tubang King.
Unlike Huang Qiuyuan's Xinfuzhou Reclamation Site, the Chinese Reclamation Site in Xinminqing Reclamation Site all come from northern China. Although everyone comes from different provinces, they are particularly united. Perhaps because they lack regional links established based on the principles of fellow townsmen and relatives, they have to unite, unlike the Xinfuzhou Reclamation Site. The Reclamation Site mainly comes from villages near Minqing. They belong to several big families, and although there is no major conflict between each other, it is difficult to unite. Even within the reclamation site, they basically never interact with each other.
Ouyang Nanhua's tough stance scared Huang Qiuyuan very much. As a politically "frosty" person, Huang Qiuyuan, like many Chinese immigrants in South China, has always been obedient to oppression from colonists and the king of the country. In their opinion, as long as they are willing to pay money, they can settle the trouble, and they have always done the same. In their opinion, it is precisely because of their "restraint" that the Chinese can gain a foothold in the Nanyang region, and colonial authorities such as the United Kingdom and the Netherlands have not set special restrictions on the number of Chinese immigrants to the Nanyang.

In Huang Qiuyuan's view, if Ouyang Nanhua really commanded the self-defense regiment to open fire on the King of Tu Bang, it would be equivalent to blatant rebellion. It is an act of fighting against the British colonial authorities. The reason is very simple, because the King of Tu Bang's dominance is recognized by the British colonial authorities. Even low-level officials of the British colonial authorities must be cautious about the King of Tu Bang. The Chinese or Indians' price to fight against the King of Tu Bang is actually equivalent to fighting against the British colonial authorities.
Therefore, Huang Qiuyuan was very dedicated and urged Ouyang Naner to put away his anger and weapons. After the Tubang King came, he would negotiate with him calmly and use silver to buy Ping An. If there was not enough cash in the farm, Huang Qiuyuan could advance the farm. This time he came from Xinfuzhou, Huang Qiuyuan brought a large amount of silver locks, which was the profit obtained from trading tin ore with smuggling merchants.
However, Ouyang Nanhua's determination to defend himself by force was never shaken. Instead, he reminded Huang Qiuyuan that blindly retreating would only make the enemy more and more difficult, and would eventually put all the Chinese in Southeast Asia in a dangerous position.
In fact, the reason why Ouyang Nanhua was determined to defend himself by force was not only to show the Chinese fighting will to the enemy. The more important reason lies in his special identity.
Ouyang Nanhua is not an ordinary reporter. His identity as a reporter is just a cover. His real identity is a senior intelligence officer in the fifth department of the China National Intelligence Bureau. After graduating from Wuhan Military and Political College, he was directly recommended to go to the Army University for further studies because of his excellent grades. He served in the First Division of the Commander Hall commanded by Zhang Licheng and acted as an intern officer. After his internship, he was recommended to go to the Senior Staff Academy for further studies because of his outstanding performance. He was also in the Senior Staff Academy. He was exhibited as a secret intelligence officer by the Military Intelligence Bureau. He was sent out before graduation. He went to the south as a reporter and was eventually sent to the Nanyang area. He was presided over the work of the Xinmin Qing Reclamation Farm as a special liaison officer.
The organization of the self-defense regiment in the reclamation site was not Ouyang Nanhua's own claim. This order actually came directly from the Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau Tian Jinfu. Director Tian's order to Ouyang Nanhua was very clear. That is: to avoid direct conflicts with the British. However, you can rub against the local Shi Erjin. You can also talk about military friction with the Dutch colonial army. You can push the turbulent situation in Tuchuanze District to mobilize the center to implement the next strategy.
Therefore, the threat of the Tubang King to invade this time did give Ouyang Nanhua a good opportunity. He immediately decided to start "friction"
If you want to engage in friction, you must have weapons. As early as two years ago, the center used various means to carry out the "Modouyu 2 Operation" using warships, merchant ships, sailboats and even submarines to secretly transport a large number of weapons and ammunition to several Chinese reclamation sites in the South China Sea, all of which were made of Japanese rifles and machine guns. This North Korean expatriate riots used part of these weapons, and it was led by Ouyang Nanhua, who even sent people to participate in the riot troops.
These rifles and machine guns were eliminated from the army over the years, and were seized by the North Korean anti-Japanese guerrillas in the battle. The quality was average, but it was enough to engage in friction and low-intensity wars. Now, there are even several old Japanese-made mountain cannons in the secret arsenal of the Xinmin Qing Reclamation Farm. They are maintained by dedicated personnel. Once needed, they can be pulled out to fight at any time.
The Xinyue Qingqing Reclamation Farm is just an ordinary Chinese farm on the surface. But in fact, among the more than 2,000 male reclamation Farm in the reclamation Farm, one-fifth of the people who were once professional soldiers were sent to the Xinmin Qing Reclamation Farm after they were discharged from the army. With these people, let alone the guards of the Tubang King, even if the British and Indian colonial troops came, Ouyang Nanhua was confident to give the other party a warning.
In fact, Japan's infiltration into China also adopts a similar method. Many Japanese expatriates operating in China are the so-called "village soldiers" that are veterans of the Japanese army. Once Japan intends to make an incident in China, these military soldiers are the best guides and auxiliary military forces.
Having said that, it must be admitted that the Military Intelligence Bureau has made a big move in Nanyang, and once it is fully launched, I am afraid that even those who have formulated this plan cannot think about how the situation in Nanyang will develop.
This action plan was formulated by Chinese President Zhao Bei himself, and the Military Intelligence Bureau was just acting on orders. Now there is no one in these worlds that is more "crazy" than Zhao Bei. Fortunately, his "crazy" is based on a correct understanding of the direction of history, and he has a good grasp of this degree. Moreover, the Military Intelligence Bureau has also made a good plan, and has been dormant in the early stage until the European War broke out and it started to move.
It is called a comprehensive layout and a key attack. It is not necessary to dominate the South China Sea immediately, but to muddle the water. It is also necessary to take advantage of the right time in the future and establish a strategic foothold in China in the South China Sea region.
Ouyang Nanhua knew very well about this. But Huang Qiuyuan, a real businessman, was completely kept in the dark. He thought that Ouyang Nanhua was young and energetic, and the northerners were too angry.
Seeing that he could not convince Ouyang Nanhua, Huang Qiuyuan was anxious and wanted to contact the Chinese consulate in Nanyang. Through the consul, he persuaded these ignorant young men not to be impulsive, but this place was Xinyueqing, not Xinfuzhou. It is located in remote North Borneo. It has not been telegram yet, so he cannot contact the consulate immediately. If you want to contact the consulate, you must first take a boat back to Xinfuzhou.
Although Huang Qiuyuan was politically courageous, he was not a person who was concerned about things. So he immediately decided to return to the trade sailboat immediately and ordered the sailors to set sail immediately, take advantage of the wind to rush to Xinfuzhou as soon as possible, and use telegrams to ask for help from the nearest Chinese consulate.
After leaving, Huang Qiuyuan refused Ouyang Nanhua's invitation to dinner, hurriedly ordered the sailors to unload some necessary supplies, and immediately got on the ship and ordered cobalt, and even did not plan to do business.
%,Ten thousand
When the sailboat sailed to the sea, Huang Qiuyuan remembered that he forgot to ask Ouyang Nanhua where the weapons and ammunition came from, but he thought again. These were just subtle details. Even if there were no guns and bullets, those young people would probably make their own bows, arrows, and cannons, and fight with the natives. After all, there was no shortage of various craftsmen in the farm. So he immediately put down his mind and began to consider how to deal with the future situation.
Huang Qiuyuan may not be able to contact the Chinese Consul in Nanyang in time, even if he can contact him in time. However, when the consul rushes to Xinminqing again, the armed conflict may have broken out. Once the conflict breaks out, the Tubang King, who only has old muskets and bows, is definitely not the opponent of the Xinminqing Self-Defense Corps. If he suffers a defeat, it is impossible for the Tubang King not to ask the British to preside over "justice". Then, perhaps the worst plan for the future situation is now necessary.
The Northern Borneo colony is very different from the Malayan colony. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away from the British and the rule base is weak. In the past few decades, the British, Spanish, Dutch, and Americans have been eyeing the place, and finally reached a compromise. The British and the Netherlands jointly divided the vast primeval forest area, but the geographical location there is very special. To the northwest is the South China Sea. To the northeast is the Philippine Islands, to the south, you can cross the Makassar Strait and to Java Island. Once North Borneo becomes turbulent, I am afraid that the entire situation in the South China Sea will be affected.
"I don't want to think about it anymore, I don't want to think about it anymore. I am a cannibal, why do I do so much? At worst, when the Nanyang is in chaos, I will go back to Fujian! After all, the domestic economy is good now. Doing business in China at least doesn't have to be as scared as in Nanyang. A turmoil will cause a disaster for family extermination. But I don't know what the situation in Shishan is like?"
