Chapter 409: The Current Situation of the Han People in Nanyang
"Humble grade, I've seen a handsome ......"
On the wharf, against the backdrop of the banner covering the sky and the sun, dozens of generals such as Xu Zhong, Xu Hong, and Ergou knelt down in front of Xu Changqing with great excitement.
Ergou and Uncle Hong have completely turned into black iron eggs, and it is Xu Zhong, who has always been very white, who seems to have just climbed out of the small coal kiln at this time.
The same is true for everyone else, and the feeling of feng shui and sun exposure is simply lingering.
But behind this dark complexion, their kind of perseverance and uprightness are not comparable to before.
"Yes, yes! Uncle Zhong, Uncle Hong, Ergou, brothers, you have worked hard! You are my Haicheng, the heroes of my Shandong Left Association! ”
Xu Changqing personally helped everyone up in turn, and the surrounding people suddenly resounded with a wave of cheers.
In the past, the water power of the Shandong Left Association was very strong, which has always been the pride of countless Shandong Left Association people, and at this time, so many boats came back at once, and the water power of the Shandong Left Association will inevitably be more huge in the future, with this huge power to protect everyone, how can we not be excited?
After Xu Changqing and everyone met Li, it was Li Yan and everyone in the Political Affairs Bureau.
Needless to say, the old brothers, Li Yan, Li Hongyun and other latecomers, at this time, are in the top position all the year round, regardless of momentum or means, they are already quite bigwigs, and soon, a group of people are eager, and they will also make the surrounding atmosphere more eager and relaxed.
Fan Yongdou looked at these wolf-like figures, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This man has to die more than people, and he has to throw away goods compared to goods.
OK.
Fortunately, he seized the opportunity, otherwise, once he stood on the opposite side of Xu Changqing, he really didn't dare to imagine the consequences.
The welcome ceremony at the pier is very large, and it is estimated that it will last until the evening, and many activities are prepared, such as gifts, so that the people can have a greater sense of participation and thus deeper cohesion.
But Xu Changqing would not have participated in these activities, and he rode in the same carriage with Uncle Zhong, Uncle Hong, and Ergou and returned to the official hall.
Originally, when Ergou and they went to sea, Xu Changqing expected to come back in a year at most, but he never thought that it would be nearly two years, and Ergou had countless things to say to Xu Changqing, and Xu Changqing also had many questions to ask them.
"Dashuai, over there in Nanyang, there are really treasures everywhere. We plant crops here, and we only harvest them once a year, and over there, we can have them three or four times a year, and those fields are so good that they can grow like crazy without much care. Especially all kinds of fruits, they are all over the mountains, and those natives don't work at all, and they can live by picking some fruits in the mountains every day. It's a pity I can't bring it back......"
Ergou is Xu Changqing's hardcore brother, a little greeting, and there are no outsiders here, Ergou immediately opened up, and began to talk to Xu Changqing about his experience in Nanyang.
Xu Changqing also kept nodding.
Don't talk about the South Seas, it is Hainan Island, and the growth rate of crops is beyond the reach of the north.
Blessed with the unique advantage, these areas have not been affected by too many Xiaoice rivers, but unfortunately, whether they are white or native, they are born in the blessing and do not know the blessing, and they do not use it at all.
All the way to the official hall, here, Li Youwei had already personally arranged the sumptuous wine and food.
Wu Sanmei, Chu Xue, and Tang Yu are also representatives of Xu Changqing, and they came out to see Ergou and everyone.
Especially when they learned that Xu Changqing already had a daughter, and there were several pregnant women to give birth soon, everyone couldn't help but be even more excited.
Because many bigwigs in the Political Affairs Department are busy working at the dock, this luncheon can be regarded as Xu Changqing's family banquet, and everyone is more relaxed, and they have no scruples when they talk.
Ergou drank a few glasses of wine, and the depression accumulated in the past two years began to erupt uncontrollably, and said a little tyrannically: "Brother, over there in Nanyang, whether it is a white-haired monkey or a native, all of them should be damned!" Dogs don't treat us Han people as human beings at all!
In the past few years I have been in Nanyang, there have been no less than 100 times when our Han village was slaughtered!
Fuck it, those bastards aren't human at all, they don't even let go of the baby in the belly of a pregnant woman! If it weren't for Uncle Zhong and Uncle Hong to stop them, Lao Tzu would have chopped their dog stuff into meat sauce and threw it into the sea to feed the fish! ”
Uncle Zhong poured a sip of wine vigorously, and said a little depressedly: "Dashuai, we used to talk about Nanban Nanban, and I still didn't believe it, but when I went to Nanyang, I realized that a barbarian is a barbarian, and the ancestor called it so, it is by no means unreasonable." It's a pity that the Zheng family's power is so big, but it has never developed in Nanyang, so that countless Han people, even if they are wronged, can only swallow blood in their stomachs. We are also for the sake of the overall situation, if we can not fight with those bastards, we will not fight with them......"
Uncle Zhong used to be a very gentle person, after all, he had read books for many years, but at this time, he spoke with a lot of dirty words.
It can also be seen how much he was touched to become like this.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little cold, Uncle Hong hurriedly smiled and said, "We just came back today, why do you talk about these unhappy things?" Come, Marshal, I would like to give you a drink, our Haicheng is getting better and better now, just looking at this city, it is much better than Manila and Jakarta. ”
Xu Changqing drank the wine in the cup with a smile and said, "It's not that I'm not unhappy, it's a fact." Since it's a fact, let's admit it! Only by admitting and knowing the shortcomings can we improve well in the future. Don't worry, we still have time, Uncle Zhong, Uncle Hong, Ergou, you speak slowly, and I can understand the situation over there in more detail. ”
"Okay, brother. I was about to say these things, but if I didn't say it, and I held it in my heart, it would be fucking unpleasant......"
Uncle Zhong and Uncle Hong had actually vented almost just now, and they wanted to change the topic, but who would have thought that Ergou was actually on a par with Xu Changqing, so he could only smile helplessly and continue this matter first.
With the narration of the two dogs and the three people, Xu Changqing's face became more and more solemn, the current situation of the Nanyang Han people is really worrying!
The Han people went to Nanyang to make a living, and they have been going to live for a long time.
When exactly it started, Xu Changqing couldn't say for a while, but during the Tang and Song dynasties, the bilateral trade volume was already very large.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Han nation is definitely the best nation in the world, and you don't even need to bring one of them!
However, after being nurtured by Confucian culture all year round, the Han people also have many 'faults', or disadvantages.
The most significant point is that the Han people obviously lack the spirit of 'martial arts'.
Everyone pays attention to 'calming things down', 'making a fortune with harmony', and 'keeping light and raising obscurity', but everything that can be passed is almost over.
Moreover, the Han nationality also attaches great importance to blood, and under normal circumstances, those who have the conditions will never easily intermarry with foreigners.
As a result, many Han people have lived in Nanyang for a long time, but they have not really integrated into the local life.
It is a well-established fact that the natives are lazy.
Over time, a lot of wealth naturally came into the hands of the Han nation.
However, before the arrival of the Western colonizers, there was nothing in this state, after all, the residual power of the Han nation over the years was still very strong, not to mention that the national dynasty and the three treasure eunuchs went to the West seven times, backed by such a behemoth, unless it was really the fate of a lonely person, otherwise ordinary people would never dare to easily provoke the majesty of this behemoth.
But since the arrival of Western colonists, many things have changed rapidly!
Relying on their seafaring experience and worries about profit, these whites quickly pacified many native forces and built large port cities such as Jakarta and Manila.
Although this stuck the core fortress and opened up the shipping route, they had few people, often dozens or hundreds of people, who managed the huge land.
This is obviously not enough to see!
It is even more detrimental to the stability of their rule.
But they also have their own way, which is to divide and divide and engage in national vendetta!
The Han nation was originally rich, but it was rarely associated with the natives, and the Han nation was not warlike, and the influence of the Ming Dynasty on Nanyang at this time was minimal, and many things began to break out.
It's like the first person to eat a crab.
After killing the Han people, the Turen suddenly found that they would not be punished, but would be rewarded!
It was like a hell's box, and countless demons began to be unleashed.
Throughout history, in this regard, in fact, the Spaniards and the Dutch are still low, and it is the empire that never sets that really plays.
Most of the world pattern in the future generations is left by these people, who kill or bury it!
The reason why there are so many Han pirates in Nanyang at this time is the core reason!
As he spoke, Uncle Zhong couldn't help crying: "We are all of the same root and clan, but we can only watch, we can't help much, I'm ashamed of those villagers......"
"Huh!"
At this time, Ergou suddenly pulled out a delicate dagger and put it on the table, and tears were pouring out like a spring: "Brother, this dagger was given to me by a Han pirate near Manila, the red girl." However, instead of helping her, I hurt her, and within a few days of our departure, they were killed by the dog's pit......"
Looking at the heartbroken Ergou, Xu Changqing couldn't help but let out a long breath of turbidity.
Although Uncle Zhong and Ergou said fragments, Xu Changqing could guess many of them.
Speaking of which, Xu Changqing is also to blame for this matter.
The main reason is that when the fleet set off, the strength was too weak, and there was no room for action at all, and self-protection was a little reluctant.
However, even if it is uncomfortable, it must be accepted.
Freezing three feet, how can it be a day's cold?
This is all the remnants of countless historical accumulations!
In the past, they had no support, and they couldn't find anything to rely on, but at this time, Xu Changqing would never let the countless Han people who were in Nanyang have no more to rely on and let others bully!
……
After talking about the affairs of the Nanyang Han people for a while, everyone gradually adjusted their emotions.
Uncle Zhong also began to report the current situation of Nanyang to Xu Changqing in detail, after all, a list is a list, and many things can only be understood, not spoken.
"Dashuai, I already heard about it when I came, the Zheng family seems to have looked for us?"
Xu Changqing nodded.
Uncle Zhong's spirit suddenly perked up: "Dashuai, when we go to Nanyang, in addition to buying materials and gathering manpower, we have also found a lot of good deals."
Among them, Manila, Jakarta, including many big families in the Malacca area, are very eager to cooperate with us. For example, cane sugar, spices, pearls, including some Western imports.
If we can take the goods from them and transport them by our people, the cost price can be several times lower!
As long as we can negotiate with the Zheng family, according to our current fleet transportation capacity, I'm afraid that this sea trade alone will be enough to feed us people. ”
Uncle Hong also said excitedly: "Dashuai, when we came back, we also went to Guangzhou to inquire, the goods over there are actually not much higher than those sold to us, and most of the price is earned by the white-haired monkeys of dog days." Moreover, a lot of their goods came by land......"
The second dog also began to be excited to supplement.
Looking at the excited appearance of the three of them, Xu Changqing kept nodding his head, and the hot blood in his chest and abdomen gradually began to burn!
You have to speed up and get the Zheng family!
