944, Republic of Lanfang

Lanfang Republic was not made by Bai Shujie, he just carried forward the spirit of his ancestors, and then added modern elements to become more scientific.

Nowadays, there are many young people who do not know how to learn, or who have ill intentions, and when they talk about the earliest modern republics, they must praise the United States founded in 1776.

In fact, during the same period of American independence, the Chinese established a Republic of Lanfang in the western part of Kalimantan Island, the third largest island in Southeast Asia.

As the first modern republic in Asia and one of the world's earliest modern republics, the Republic of Lanfang joined hands with the local indigenous people to resist the invasion of Western colonists for 107 years, until it was destroyed by the Dutch colonists at the end of the 19th century.

If you want to say that the first enemy of the blood feud of the Chinese people in Nanyang for eternity, it is the Netherlands!

At the time of the Qing Dynasty, many people on China's southeast coast were forced to go overseas to earn a living or escape the war due to the impact of domestic war. Many of them have crossed the ocean to Borneo in the South Seas to work in agriculture or mining.

At that time, the natural conditions and living conditions in Borneo were extremely harsh, but with the active development of the Chinese, the local living environment continued to improve, attracting more and more Chinese to come here to make a living.

In May 1772, a Chinese named Luo Fangbo set foot on Borneo soil, and his arrival completely changed the history of Borneo.

Luo Fangbo was born in the third year of Qianlong (1738) and was a native of Meixian County, Guangdong. Luo Fangbo has great ambitions since he was a child, and he has practiced a good kung fu, and he is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs.

In 1772, Luo Fangbo, who was already 34 years old, was completely discouraged by his career because he had repeatedly failed in the township test, so he led a group of Hakka youths across the ocean to Pontianak in western Borneo via Humen.

Initially, Luo Fangbo made a living by teaching in the local area. Soon, he discovered that the Chinese in Borneo were often bullied by the local aborigines, lacking food and clothing, and had no place to live at night, and their lives were very difficult. So, Luo Fangbo was determined to work hard to change people's lives.

Due to the abundance of gold in the area, Luo Fangbo set out to set up a "gold mining company" to develop gold mines.

The mining of gold mines has improved the living standards of the local people and promoted economic development.

Since then, Luo Fangbo's name has not only spread in the Chinese community, but the local indigenous people will also be in awe when they hear it.

After solving the problem of food and clothing, Luo Fangbo began to deal with the safety problem again.

At that time, the island's social order was extremely chaotic: bandits and pirates were dominant, causing the people to live in displeasure and complaints, and the indigenous leaders were helpless.

In this regard, Luo Fangbo first united the Chinese to organize the "Fellow Townsmen Association", and then united with the Sultan of Borneo to quickly pacify the bandits and pirates in Lanla, Wanzhuju, Sifangping and other places.

In the course of the battle, Luo Fangbo's excellent organizational skills and brave fighting spirit were greatly admired by his companions, and everyone unanimously elected him as the leader.

The military victory increased Luo Fangbo's political influence.

After quelling the bandits, Luo Fangbo's reputation is skyrocketing. At that time, there were more than 30,000 troops led by Luo Fangbo, and after the rebellion was put down, more than 200,000 locals took the initiative to join them.

The local sultan also expressed his submission and wanted to give up the throne to Luo Fangbo, but he refused many times.

In the end, under the repeated persuasion of the Sultan, although Luo Fangbo said that he could accept the regime, he would never agree to be the king.

In 1777, the "Lan Fang General System" Republic was established with Dong Wanlu (now Pontianak) as its capital, and this year was set as the first year of Lan Fang, only one year later than the "Republic of Serfdom" in the United States.

The so-called republic established by the United States practiced slavery. The so-called republic is the rotation of several of the most powerful slave owners as presidents. This so-called democracy (which is actually the rules of the game) has survived to this day.

The so-called democratic government in the United States, that is, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party take turns to sit in the bank. These two parties are led by financial oligarchs, and they have nothing to do with ordinary people.

Democracy and freedom in the United States is the freedom of ordinary people to vote for either the Democratic Party or the Republican Party.

Nearly 100 years later, a large-scale civil war broke out in the United States because of the inhumane slavery system, and then the "abolition of slavery" was proposed. Remember: it's just a proposition!

After the 1860 U.S. presidential election, before Lincoln entered the White House, seven states seceded from the Union, and the United States was divided.

On February 9, 1861, they organized a new Southern government, the Confederate States of America, and civil war was inevitable.

In 1861, the South conceived a blitzkrieg to seize Washington, in order to win the direct support of Britain and France, and to find a foreign godfather to save his life, how similar to Chiang.

The war left 750,000 soldiers dead and 400,000 disabled, and the association estimates that the number of casualties may be higher, and the unknown number of civilians is not counted.

The party looking for a foreign godfather finally failed, and how similar it is to Jiang someone.

It can be seen that anyone who is looking for a godfather to save his life outside will not end well in the end, and this is true in ancient and modern times.

If there is a revolution, there will be war, and if there is war, there will be bloodshed.

Lincoln wanted to abolish slavery, and naturally war would break out, and then there would be endless killings, killing all those who opposed the revolution!

National reunification is necessary, and war is inevitable if splitting the motherland will not be a good death.

China's subsequent three-year war of domestic reunification has now become the target of many attacks.

As a result, they forgot one thing -- China's reunification war was learned from their American godfather, and the final result was exactly the same as their American godfather -- the side that was looking for the godfather outside was all killed, why was it wrong?!

The Republic of Lanfang was established, and Luo Fangbo served as the first head of state, the "Chief of the Tang Dynasty", and was revered by the locals as the King of Pontianak.

See, this is the descendant of the dragon!

I have made achievements overseas, but deep down I haven't forgotten that I am a Tang person. Unlike the current Nahe Hamehari faction, who wags his tail and begs for mercy in front of his godfather all day long.

The Lanfang Republic, founded by the Chinese, basically has the rudiments of the current republic -- a system that combines Zen concession and election, and the selection of a head of state needs to be recognized by the people.

In terms of the national political system, Lanfang implements a republican system. The state has set up a complete set of executive, legislative, and judicial organs.

The state has a Ministry of National Defense, but there is no permanent army, but all the people are soldiers, "workers, peasants and soldiers" as one. In peacetime, the troops are scattered in various places to engage in production, and in wartime, they are concentrated to defend against the enemy.

The country is divided into provincial, prefectural and county levels, and citizens at all levels elect the responsible persons of local administrative organs by vote. As for "all major matters of the state are decided by the people", it is similar to the parliamentary system that was widely practiced later.

In the selection of national leaders, Lan Fang combined the ancient Chinese Zen concession system and created a form of combining Zen concession and democratic election.

Before the previous leader dies or steps down, he recommends the next leader, but whether he can become the chief minister requires the approval of the majority of citizens.

Luo Fangbo was head of state for 18 years and died of illness in 1795.

Before his death, he recommended Jiang Wubo, who also had a literary and martial strategy, to be the next president, and after being elected, Jiang Wubo really became the successor leader, and brilliantly inherited Luo Fangbo's unfinished business.

The Republic of Lanfang resisted foreign powers, vigorously developed the local economy internally, and strictly implemented the rule of law.

The presidents of the Republic of Lanfang have attached great importance to the development of production. They led the people to improve farming techniques, expand mining, develop transportation, and increase local productivity.

Militarily, the Republic of Lanfang has established a system of all soldiers and often organizes young and middle-aged people to conduct military training; At the same time, an arsenal was created to manufacture various guns.

Lanfang also vigorously developed education, and hired a group of famous Confucian scholars from the Qing Dynasty to teach, which greatly improved the local knowledge level.

In terms of national governance, Lanfang promotes the rule of law.

The Republic of Lanfang strictly adhered to these regulations, which greatly increased its power and influence, attracting many local indigenous tribes to join it, and the territory of the Republic of Lanfang quickly expanded throughout Borneo.

The leaders of the Republic of Lan Phong lead by example, not only strictly abiding by the laws and regulations, but also paying close attention to the lives of the people.

Soon after the establishment of the Republic of Lanfang, a crocodile disaster broke out in the country, and groups of crocodiles operated in the domestic waters of Lanfang, endangering the safety of people's lives and property.

After receiving the news, the general chief Luo Fangbo immediately went to the affected area in person and commanded the people to successfully expel the crocodile.

The various contributions made by the Republic of Lanfang to mankind are still celebrated by the locals today.

Nowadays, there is a memorial to Luo Fangbo Public School in East Wanlu, a memorial hall and cemetery for Luo Fangbo in Pontianak, and a memorial hall for Luo Fangbo in Meibei Middle School, Shifan Town, Meixian District, Meizhou City, his hometown.

What is sad and indignant is that the Republic of Lanfang was finally destroyed by the Dutch colonizers and became the eternal hatred of the Nanyang Chinese.

Since the Dutch devils can destroy the Chinese Republic, Bai Shujie believes that as a descendant of the dragon, he must uphold the will of his ancestors and rebuild the Lanfang Republic in the Dutch colony.

In order to achieve this goal, even if we have to fight to the death with the Japanese, American, British, Dutch, and French devils at the same time.

At nine o'clock in the morning of June 8, 1942, a large gathering of 10,000 people was held in Longcheng, and Bai Shujie boarded the specially built "Dragon Altar" and solemnly declared to the world:

"The Republic of Lanfang, which was subverted and enslaved by the Dutch colonizers, officially regained its territory today. After decades of indomitable and tenacious struggle, the Republic of Lanfang has re-erected its unyielding majestic body on the ruins of its own land! ”

"She will, as always, rise up to resist the invaders, inherit and spread the light of the nation, and ignite the fire of civilization that inspires people to forge ahead." From today onwards, Dragon City, the pearl of the South China Sea, serves as the capital of the Republic of Lanfang. Every year on July 7 is the National Day, and September 18 is the Army Day. ”

The national flag is a golden dragon on a blue background: blue symbolizes the sea, and the golden dragon symbolizes the descendants of the dragon in the depths of the South China Sea.

The military flag is a golden dragon on a red background: red symbolizes the martyrs using their lives and blood to safeguard the fundamental interests of the dragon's descendants.

National anthem: A thousand years of humiliation, years have passed; Hatred for eternity, rejuvenating martial arts; The dragon travels to the Jedi, and the angry sea is rising; Eliminate the violence, and be peaceful from now on!

Longcheng International Radio broadcast the whole assembly process live, and continuously broadcast special articles, expounding the basic purpose, political system, military principles, foreign policy and so on of the Lanfang Republic.

At 10 o'clock in the morning of the same day, the Republic of Korea and the Jewish Republic of Papua sent a telegram recognizing the Republic of Lanfang and proposing to immediately establish diplomatic relations between the two countries, exchange ambassadors, and strengthen all-round cooperation.

International forces, including Yan'an, have chosen to remain silent about the sudden emergence of an independent country. There was neither a voice of approval nor an opposing voice, only the little devil and Wang Jingwei respectively issued a telegram of condemnation.

At the same time, the South China United Front was officially reorganized into the "South China United Party"; The Political Department of the General Headquarters was reorganized into the Central Headquarters, and the former Minister of the Political Department was renamed as the Secretary.

The original Feilong Expeditionary Force became history and was officially renamed the "Lanfang Liberation Army", with the General Staff Headquarters, Army Headquarters, Navy Headquarters, and Air Force Headquarters; Yang Manho's "Honorary Division" was renamed the Armed Police Corps.

After democratic elections, Bai Shujie was unexpectedly elected as the first president, and he is a lifelong president written into the constitution, and he is also the commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air force.

Zhang Xiang was elected Minister of National Defense, and Lu Ming was promoted to the first Chief of General Staff; Gan Tong was the first prime minister, Zhao Jinxi was the deputy commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, Yang Erya, general secretary of the South China United Party, Wang Xinlan was the first foreign minister, Zhang Yushu was the first minister of education, and Yang Manchu was the first minister of public security.

Next, the composition of the Supreme Court, the Supreme Procuratorate, the Ministry of Propaganda, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Forestry, the Ministry of Fisheries, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Electronics, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Sports, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Trade and other government departments were also announced.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Bai Shujie officially declared war on Japan in his capacity as head of state and commander-in-chief of the three armed forces: urging the Japanese fascist troops in the Java Islands and Sumatra Islands to surrender immediately and unconditionally!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
