Chapter 788 Competitors

When Ouyang Nanhua was commanding the Chinese Immigration Self-Defense Corps in the primitive forest system of Changdiluo in North Borneo, an overseas Chinese businessman was waiting for a telegram in a nervous state.

This Huaqiao businessman is Huang Qiuyuan, who is also an important figure in the bond that connects various Chinese farms in the Borneo region. If he suddenly withdraws from this "colonial game," then the Chinese farms in the Borneo region will face an economic crisis to a greater or lesser extent. Huang Qiuyuan also uses this barter trade as the main source of profit in the business running in Borneo. Through this trade means, he has accumulated quite solid economic power in two years.

However, this economic power is not stable because it is a rootless tree. It relies on the "protection" of the British colonial authorities and leaves this "protection." Not only can Huang Qiuyuan not continue to operate business, but he may not even be able to gain a foothold in the British South China Colonial.

Now, the telegram that Huang Qiuyuan is waiting for was taken by the British colonial authorities. This telegram will directly determine Wong's future in business, because just a few days ago, the British colonial authorities announced that they would suspend all commercial licensing rights granted to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. According to the British colonial authorities, this was to examine the qualifications of merchants. However, through the Chinese Consul in Singapore, Wong learned about the real purpose of the British colonial authorities, that is, to threaten the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and withdraw its moral support for the Korean expatriates.

Huang Qiuyuan had no choice but to do anything about this, so he immediately took some measures to try to restore the commercial licensing rights.

As a successful businessman, Huang Qiuyuan has many "friends" in the British Colonial Office. These people can still play some role after receiving the money. Therefore, Huang Qiuyuan contacted these "friends" through relationships yesterday. Ding asked them to run for this matter and strive to restore his commercial licensing rights as soon as possible.

However, this matter is very difficult. It is said that the order was issued by the governor of the British Straits Colony. Therefore, those low-level colonial officials may not be useful. Huang Qiuyuan completely used the attitude of taking the dead horse as a living horse to save the situation. Whether it was successful or not, at least he did his best to do it.

But Huang Qiuyuan is not only worried about this commercial licensing right now, but also he is also worried about another thing, that is, the situation development of the Xinmin Qing Reclamation Farm. In fact, the reason why Huang Qiuyuan hurriedly returned to Xinfuzhou from Xinyueqing was for the matter of the Xinmin Qing Armed Self-Defense Corps. As soon as he arrived in Xinfuzhou, Huang Qiuyuan immediately sent a telegram to the Chinese Consulate in Singapore through a cable telegram. He reported Ouyang Nanhua's "radical practices and possible consequences to the consul, and asked the consul to intervene in the matter and prevent the Xinmin Qing Reclamation Farm from provoking the Tubang princes and princes by force.

However, the Consul was not very enthusiastic about the situation in Xinyueqing. After Huang Qiuyuan's telegram was filmed, the Consulate affirmed his actions. However, the Consul did not intend to send people to Xinminqing to dissolve the Chinese Immigration Self-Defense Corps, because the Consul was running for the chaotic situation in Singapore. He went to various diplomatic occasions every day to negotiate with diplomats from Britain, the United States, France, Russia, Thailand and other countries, and had no time to take care of other matters.

Since Consul Fang, Sheng was unwilling to stop the Xinmin Qing Reclamation people from fighting against the Tubang princes, Huang Qiuyuan must take the responsibility for this. Because it was him who helped him to create favorable conditions for the establishment of the Xinyue Qing Reclamation Site. The British colonial authorities have always implemented a "continuous positioning system" on the Chinese society in the colony. Therefore, once the Xinmin Qing Reclamation Site opens fire on the Tubang king's army, he will not be able to escape the relationship when the British colonial authorities pursue it, although he is indeed opposing the force against the British colonial order.

Huang Qiuyuan was nervously waiting for the telegraph in the farm in Xinfuzhou. Although the telegraph office here was very simple, as long as the telegraph machine was not damaged, Huang Qiuyuan would stay in the house near the telegraph office. Finally, the old-style telegraph machine in the telegraph office finally rang "drip". Huang Qiuyuan hurried to the telegraph office and stood by the telegraph machine. He watched the telegraph officer copy the telegraph code and diagnosed the telegraph code into Chinese characters.

Soon the telegram was finished filming. The telegrapher took a few minutes to send it out, and then handed the telegram to Wong Qiuyuan.

Huang Qiuyuan received the telegram and saw it, and was stunned.

The telegram was taken by the Governor's Office in the Straits of the British, and the content was not complicated. It was to tell Wong Qiu-won that the Governor of the British personally rejected Wong Qiu-won's request to restore commercial licensing rights. The reason was not because of the matter of the Xinminqing Armed Immigration Self-Defense Corps or the situation in North Borneo. It was because Wong Qiu-won's son Wong Cheng-sun was involved in "illegal activities"

Huang Qiuyuan was frightened by the telegram from the Governor's Office. Because the telegram was vague, he had to immediately shoot another telegram to go to the Chinese Consulate in Singapore and ask the consulate to help inquire about what "illegal activities Huang Chengshan was involved in."

However, since the telegram contact with Singapore is intermittent, it was not until the evening that Wong Qiu-won received a call from Singapore. The consulate told Wong Qiu-won very politely that his son Wong Cheng-sun was now elected as a political brain by local Chinese associations and Chinese chambers of commerce, and was specifically responsible for communicating with the British colonial authorities. Perhaps, in the view of the British Governor, this behavior is an "illegal activity"

Huang Qiuyuan was even more worried that he was not in Singapore and was afraid that his son would cause any trouble. He wanted to shoot a telegram to contact his son Zhuangzi, but the consulate replied that Danfa contact was contacted. Qian was even more anxious and helped him to help him get some trouble. He decided to go back to Singapore.

But now the situation in Singapore is chaotic. The Korean expatriates have entered a state of full-scale war with the British colonial army. The British colonial authorities have blocked maritime traffic. It is basically impossible to return to Singapore directly through maritime routes.

Huang Qiuyuan decided to take a roundabout route, first going to the Philippines, then taking a boat to Vietnam under French control, landing in the French colony of Vietnam, and then taking a train to Malaya by land and return to Singapore.

This journey is also not easy. Now the entire Nanyang area is a bit messy, and Wong Qiuyuan has to take the risk.

Huang Qiuyuan left at will. The next day after dawn, he immediately left Xinfuzhou by boat and rushed to Xingang. He took a French cargo ship to the Philippines. On the day he arrived in the Philippines, he transferred to Vietnam and got ashore in Saigon. From there, he took a train all the way to Malaya, crossing most of the Indochina Peninsula, and then took a train south from Sero to the Malay Peninsula. After several days of arduous journey, he finally arrived in Johor north of Singapore and stopped here.

The reason why we cannot go to Singapore Port directly is because there is a fierce street battle there. The British team blocked all traffic in the Johor Strait. Without permission, no one can enter Singapore Port.

Huang Qiuyuan was anxious outside the Singapore city. But there was nothing he could do. And it was here that he learned that Singapore had been unrecognizable by the war, and many local Chinese had to escape from the city. There were many people like Huang Qiuyuan. They were neither willing to stand on the side of the British colonial authorities nor fully support the anti-British battles of the North Korean expatriates, so they could only stay on the streets.

The Chinese community has established refugee shelter stations in Johor. With the assistance of the Chinese Consulate in Singapore, it is through these refugee shelter stations that Huang Qiuyuan learned about the current situation.

Although the battle in Singapore is still continuing, since Britain has dispatched a large number of troops from India to prepare to slaughter the city, Chinese people generally do not like the Korean Bridge people who are still fighting. In fact, even the North Koreans themselves do not have much confidence in this way of fighting. Many North Koreans who have participated in the "Goryeo Volunteer Army" have now left the troops, some fled to Johor with the Chinese, while others surrender to the British army and were imprisoned in British concentration camps located in Penang.

After the Chinese community hosted refugees, it also sent some of the refugees to Penang to be resettled. Because there were many Chinese there and could provide help, Wong Qiu-won was also asked to go to Penang to gather. But he refused. Because his son Wong Cheng-sun is now "inaccessible" and cannot be contacted. I don't know if he was in Singapore or had already retreated to another place, so Wong Qiu-won decided to settle in Johor and find his son's whereabouts.

But Huang Qiuyuan did not stay in Johor for long. Soon he had to rush to betel nut, because the day after he arrived in Johor, the first batch of Indian troops dispatched from India landed in Singapore. Then, the Governor of the British Straits Colony announced a full-scale war. He ordered all Chinese and Korean bridge residents gathered near Singapore to leave immediately, otherwise they would be regarded as "rebels" and shot and killed by British and Indian troops. In this situation, Huang Qiuyuan had to leave even if he didn't want to leave. Huang Qiuyuan cried all the way to Penang. He was sad. On one side, he had an unknown son and a family business accumulated over the years, and he couldn't rest assured. In contrast, he cared more about the safety of his son Huang Chengshan. If he couldn't find his son's whereabouts for a day, he couldn't let it go.

By the time we arrived at Penang, it was already crowded. As the large number of Chinese people from Singapore arrived at Penang, the city could no longer accommodate so many people. The local British garrison was also nervous and set up inspection posts outside the city to place the penniless Chinese and Huaqiao outside the city, and only those rich people were allowed to enter the city.

Through the consulate's connection, Huang Qiuyuan got himself a certificate and was able to enter Penang City. But after entering the city, he was surprised to find refugee shelter stations established by Chinese associations everywhere in the city, and two of them were the largest, one was the local overseas Chinese organization Fujian and Guangdong Society, and the other was the Tongmenghui.

When Huang Qiuyuan saw the banner of Tongmenghui again, he was very surprised. He thought that the organization had been disbanded long ago.

After inquiring about the staff of the Tongmenghui, Huang Qiuyuan realized that this. Tongmenghui and the previous Tongmenghui were not the same concept. Although the leaders of both organizations were the famous revolutionary activist Mr. Sun. However, compared with the Tongmenghui in the past, the Tongmenghui is more combative and united. In fact, the Tongmenghui members who are now joining the organization must sign and swear allegiance to the leader.

More importantly, now, Mr. Sun, the leader of the Tongmenghui, is in Penang and has personally participated in refugee relief work, and is specifically responsible for finding the relatives who were separated in the war for the Chinese.

Huang Qiuyuan Lifu decided to ask Mr. Sun for help and use the Tongmenghui's network to find his son Huang Chengshan.
